One Piece: Lord of Disaster.

Chapter 226 Victory! Shiki's New Target! The Seven Warlords of the Sea and the Giants!

Boom!

The sky and the sea are boiling.

Thunder and flames, raging winds and lava, all sorts of elements roared incessantly.

The isolated island that served as the battlefield has been completely sunk.

The two spectators had to retreat several nautical miles away to ensure they wouldn't be swallowed up by the raging natural disaster.

Even with such astonishing destructive power, Ryder, who continuously used Moonwalk to levitate and maintain his levitation, still offered this assessment.
"Its power is much weaker than when we fought the Five Elders before."

The intensity and frequency back then were on a completely different level compared to now.

Kaido said nonchalantly, "Roya's fighting strength is greatly affected by the environment. Simply put, the more people there are, the stronger he becomes."

"Besides, isn't that enough already?"

It was indeed enough. In the distant sky, the fierce battle between Roya and the Golden Lion continued.

All sorts of natural disasters were unleashed by Roya onto the head of the Golden Lion.

They didn't expect these attacks to cause any fatal damage to the Golden Lion. As long as they could slow down his movements, weaken his stamina, and inflict some injuries, that would be enough!

Just like when we fought Roger!
very effective.

With the aid of these natural disasters, Roya wielded his twin swords, leaving wounds on the Golden Lion's body.

He was also slashed by the Golden Lion, bleeding profusely, but his injuries were healing rapidly, and he remained in a state of minor injury for most of the time.

and so.

"Ho-ho-ho-ho-"

The golden lion's panting sounded like a broken bellows, squeezing out muffled sounds from deep within its throat.

Blood was gushing from his body, and his face was as pale as paper. "He's really... utterly shameless..."

The immortality of the God Knights can at least be temporarily suppressed by Conqueror's Haki.

Now, no matter what kind of attack or injury Roya suffers, he is recovering rapidly, and there is no way to stop him.

Unless one can defeat Roya in a very short time, or simply strike a vital point and kill him instantly, it is really hard for Golden Lion to imagine how he could possibly defeat Roya!

But even that mysterious Celestial Dragon woman probably doesn't possess that kind of power, right?

She does indeed possess power surpassing that of Roya, but she could never defeat Roya without any resistance.

As long as he can still resist, Roya can recover and stall for time.

"Uncle Shiki,"

Roya also bore injuries that hadn't fully healed; his clothes were tattered and he was covered in blood, but his condition was far better than Golden Lion's.

"Isn't it almost time to end?"

"Ha—then come and welcome my lion's fangs!!"

With his broken body, the Golden Lion launched a final charge, his surging domineering aura leaping into thick bolts of domineering lightning as he swung his sword!
Then, a brilliant golden light surged up and suddenly transformed into a giant lion's head, crushing the sky. With its gaping maw and sharp fangs, it lunged directly at Roya.

"Exactly what I want!"

Roya's laughter thundered as he swung his twin blades, shouting, "Tiger Devour!"

The dark red aura spread out like a tidal wave, and then in the next instant it transformed into an enormous tiger!

The next moment, the two enormous creatures, one gold and one red, collided violently.

boom!
The atmosphere trembled, and the powerful shockwave instantly turned the area where the two monsters clashed into a vacuum. Moreover, the residual force that spread down from the sky alone caused the sea to cave in, forming a huge basin on the surface.

"Well!"

Ryder, who was watching the battle, was blown away; the extremely turbulent airflow rendered his Moonwalk completely unusable.

He could only grab the cloud beneath Kaido's feet to avoid being blown away into the heavens.

"That's really outrageous!"

Kaido gazed at the lion and tiger locked in a fierce struggle and couldn't help but let out a cold snort.

Those two bastards are way too strong!
From this perspective, when Roya fought me last time, he was just toying with me!

"However, it seems to be finally over."

Ryder's face also showed amazement, "That's amazing, Roya is really going to win."

In the sky, the battle between the lion-headed lion and the ferocious tiger was drawing to a close.

The lion's head is ultimately just a head, nothing more than a strangely shaped flying slash, straightforward and without any variation.

The dark red, ferocious tiger, though also slashing, now resembled a true beast, agile and fierce, grabbing the lion's head and tearing with its claws and biting with its fangs.

Finally, under such a ferocious attack, the golden lion shattered and dissipated into countless points of light.

The golden lion's blood-blurred eyes saw only a burst of golden light ahead, followed by a dark red shadow that suddenly crushed towards him.

His trembling hands instinctively tried to swing his sword to meet the attack.

However, the tiger had already opened its mouth wide and swallowed him whole.

"Roar!"

After swallowing the golden lion, the enormous, dark red creature roared triumphantly to the sky like a real tiger.

Roya beckoned to it, and the enormous creature leaped toward Roya like a kitten, its body disintegrating in the process.

In the end, the only thing that flew into Roya's hands was the golden lion, whose body had become even more broken.

The Crimson Tiger was essentially a special slash, infused with blood energy and various elements. Roya then injected his willpower into it and controlled it, bringing it to life in a true sense.

Because it was a slashing attack, the Golden Lion suffered even more deep wounds.

Although he hasn't lost consciousness yet, he is clearly no longer capable of fighting.

Golden Lion strained to open his eyes, but Roya in front of him still appeared somewhat blurry.

Lost.

Total loss.

This kid has grown to the point where he can truly look down on me!
This was actually expected, but I didn't expect it to happen so quickly!

No wonder this kid never intended to be recruited by anyone from the very beginning.

Because he knew from the very beginning that it wouldn't be long before he would be above everyone else.

How lucky! That bastard Rocks picked up Roya when he was at his weakest and made him the only captain he recognized.

"What a thrilling battle, Uncle Shiki!"

Luo Ya raised the corners of his mouth and spoke with a smile.

"Yes, it was you who won."

The Golden Lion was having some difficulty speaking, but a strange smile appeared on his blood-stained face.
"But, but Roya, it's not over yet. Who will ultimately seize, seize this world? We'll just have to wait and see..."

After a brief period of bewilderment due to failure, another strange emotion suddenly spread through the heart of the Golden Lion.

The kid who had been taught by him since childhood had surpassed him, and amidst his resentment, there was another subtle emotion.

This brat is my own disciple!
He did not disappoint his teachers from back then!

This feeling of pride didn't last long, quickly replaced by another emotion. Roger may be dead, but there's still Roja!
This guy has become even stronger than Roger!

His subordinates also possessed qualifications that surpassed those of the Roger Pirates!

That's wonderful, Roya! It's amazing that you've become so strong! Now I don't feel like I've lost my purpose!

"I'm relieved to see that you can still say something like that, Uncle Shiki."

Roya raised the corners of his mouth, "But if we really have to decide who's better, I suggest we wait until we've conquered the world."

"Heh...haha...haha..."

The golden lion just laughed.

Luo Ya laughed along with him.

It seems that he has indeed completely replaced Roger as Uncle Shiki's goal.

However, their relationship does seem to have become closer.

"You've been beaten up like this and you still want to compete with Roya? Who are you trying to make laugh at?"

Kaido arrived riding on clouds, his tone full of mocking laughter.

"I don't want to talk to an idiot who doesn't even have the right to compete."

Although the golden lion was weak, it did not lose any ground in its speech.

"what?"

Kaido flew into a rage, "You bastard, do you have a death wish?"

"Alright, Brother Kaido, Uncle Shiki is injured, don't worry about him,"

Luo Ya smiled and smoothed things over, "Besides, we have the same goal, so there's no need for us to compete."

"Humph!"

Kaido then gave a soft snort, indicating that he would not pursue the matter further.

"But it's actually gotten this strong? Roya,"

Ryder's tone was full of amazement, "You even easily defeated Shiki. Among all the pirates in the world, there shouldn't be anyone stronger than you, right?"

“Correction, Ryder,”

Roya said seriously, "Although we won, it wasn't easy at all. I was also badly injured by Uncle Shiki! Second, don't make me repeat myself, I stopped being a pirate nine years ago!"

Ryder just smiled.

Although the battle appeared to be evenly matched on the surface, the final outcome was a one-sided affair.

From the very beginning, Roya had no reason to fail.

Furthermore, although he always claims that he has long since stopped being a pirate, who on the high seas wouldn't consider Roy Adam a pirate?

As he thought this, Ryder looked at the Golden Lion, his eyes full of schadenfreude. "You really think you have the ability to compete with Roja? Shiki, what makes you think you can compete with Roja? If Roja hadn't shown mercy, you would be dead by now, or one of your insignificant underlings?"

Not again? Ryder, don't hate him too much.

Uncle Shiki only chased you around like a dog for a year, didn't he?
Can't you be a little more generous?

Roya coughed lightly and continued to smooth things over, "Don't say that. Uncle Shiki's pirates are quite strong, for example, uh..."

Luo Ya suddenly got stuck.

Who are Uncle Shiki's current key figures?

I can't remember at all!
"Ugh, ugh, ugh!"

Kaido laughed heartily, "Powerful officers don't just appear out of thin air!"

Even he could laugh at Golden Lion for this.

Compared to the little-known executives under the Golden Lion, his subordinates Hanafza and Saine are at least genuinely strong!

Ryder smiled and said, "There aren't many powerful pirates to begin with. The unruly ones are all concentrated in the waters around Roa, running rampant. Those who are willing to join others have already chosen their targets. The rest are all in Impel Down. Shiki, stop daydreaming."

Ok?
The Golden Lion, who was initially annoyed by Kaido and Ryder's words, suddenly paused.

Impel Down?
hiss!
Yes, Impel Down!

Why didn't I think of that before!

Roya had no idea what Golden Lion was thinking. He said, "Alright, we've fought side by side so many times, let's stop with the sarcastic remarks. Let's take Uncle Shiki to get treatment first."

Almost simultaneously with the end of the battle here.

In Pangaea, Mary Geoise, the Five Elders, having just finished their ordeal, hurriedly returned to their offices.

All five of them were in a sorry state, their clothes completely soaked with sweat, but they didn't even dare to spend a little more time changing their clothes.

If Lord Im gets angry again, then no one can save them.

"I didn't expect that even Lord Im's personal intervention this time couldn't stop Roya and the others,"

Pitt, with his blond hair, spoke with a hint of worry, "Those damned pirates are already too strong, especially that bastard Roya!"

Mentioning Roya, the other four Elders couldn't help but show expressions of lingering fear.

He single-handedly routed the five of them; if Lord Im hadn't personally arrived, the situation would have definitely deteriorated beyond repair.

The God Knight is indeed unkillable, but once Roya is free, taking down Capzef and the two Marine rising stars will be a piece of cake.
In that case, the navy would be completely finished.

Thankfully, Lord Im arrived, preventing the situation from escalating to that point.

But the price was that Lord Im was humiliated.

Since that lord was humiliated, his subordinates could only atone for their sins.

"Lord Im said he wanted Roya dead, but given the power that bastard has shown, conventional methods are absolutely impossible."

With the swords taken away by Roya, the bald swordsman Nasujuro said in a deep voice, "We need to follow the original plan and have his men cooperate with us!"

"The problem is that we can't get in touch with anyone around Roya at all!"

The bald, mustachioed Volcholi gritted his teeth, "That bastard is homeless, surrounded only by his core officers and androids. He's placed the giant legions and the Mink legions in various bases! Even Stussy can't get close to his inner circle!"

"The Seven Warlords of the Sea plan needs to be officially launched! Wang Zhi and the others are the closest people to Roya that we can contact!"

Satan said, "And coincidentally, Lord Im said he wants to acquire more combat power."

"Seconded!"

Maz, with his long beard, nodded slightly. "Roya and Kaido are getting very close. Wang Zhi and the others have no reason not to be alarmed. Moreover, and most importantly, our people have also discovered that Wang Zhi seems to have played some role in the battle a year ago when Kaido was defeated by Roger!"

"Then let's do it this way!"

Vochuli made the final decision, "Let's have a proper talk with these scumbags. We can accept anything as long as it's not too outrageous, as long as they can help us deal with Roya! And, incidentally, help us deal with the world that's about to go berserk!"

"Furthermore, speaking of combat strength,"

Pitt said, "Shouldn't we also try to contact Elbaf? Roja can help the Giant Kingdom establish connections with other countries, but do you think he can compare to us? Harald, that guy, has always wanted Elbaf to join the World Government, hasn't he?"

"Agree!"

"Then let's advance on two fronts!"
