One Piece: Lord of Disaster.

Chapter 252 The Birth of the Demon King! A World-Shaking Event! With Morgans

According to the conventions of the martial arts world, whether it's an old friend reuniting or a sworn enemy meeting again, a fight is inevitable.

Not to mention Katakuri, who aims to surpass Roja, has been looking forward to this battle for a full twenty-five years!

This is going to be the ultimate climax!

Of course, neither of them are the children from Beehive Island more than 30 years ago. Roya was already one of the world's top pirates more than 20 years ago, and Katakuri is now a super strong man known as the Pirate Emperor.

Therefore, they certainly cannot start fighting directly on Whole Cake Island.

Fortunately, the Kingdom of Whole Cake Island has many islands, and the country itself consists of 35 islands, not all of which are inhabited.

Katakuri immediately took Roa to one of the islands specifically for growing fruits and vegetables.

Accompanying them were Perospero, Bonney, Bear, and other Charlotte family executives.

Although many of them didn't even know Roya, it didn't stop them from looking forward to the battle.

And even more people are flocking to this island.

"It really is Roja? That guy is still alive!"

Charlotte Smoothie, a woman with incredibly long legs, stood behind Perospero, unable to help but gasp as she looked at the two men facing off in the center of the island.

Although she was only a few years old when Roja sailed the seas, she had heard many stories about Roja from her mother and brothers.

Has that mad monster returned?

"He looks exactly the same as he did back then. He looks like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old kid."

Charlotte Daifuku with her buzz cut sized up Roya. "The ability to travel to the future... did this guy really travel directly from twenty-five years ago?"

"Hahahaha! Where is Roya! I knew he would come back!"

A burly, tall man strode closer, shouting, "Come and fight me!"

"Brother Cracker, you should just give up."

Bonnie turned around, curling his lip in disdain. "You can't even beat me. That guy named Roya is terrifyingly strong. I couldn't even withstand one of his moves."

Cracker's face stiffened for a moment.

"Let's still look forward to Katakuri!"

Charlotte Campbell, the eldest daughter of the family, who was a little chubby, said with a smile, "No matter how strong Roja is, he has missed twenty-five years! Katakuri is now no less powerful than Mom!"

"However, it's been twenty-five years..."

Perospero flicked his long tongue through the air, "Is it really enough for Katakuri to catch up with Roa?"

Twenty-five years ago, Roya already possessed the most powerful strength in the ocean, right?
"what happened?"

Charlotte Owen, with his fiery red hair, rushed over. "Didn't you just say you were going to rescue Bonney? I just dealt with those pirates, and then they say Roya is back!"

This indicates that they are not well-informed.

Regardless, amidst the discussions among Charlotte's family executives, Roa and Katakuri stood facing each other in the center of the island.

"How long ago was the last time you fought?"

Katakuri, holding his trident, asked with great interest.

"Um--"

Roya thought for a moment, "Twenty-eight years ago for you, when I first came to Whole Cake Island."

"Has it been that long?"

Katakuri grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth. "I remember that time I seemed to be completely helpless."

"You think,"

Roya laughed too, "Isn't it different this time?"

"Let's give it a try! Here I come, Roya!"

The earth shattered beneath Katakuri's feet in an instant, and he appeared before Roa like a gust of wind.

The sharp trident, wreathed in dark lightning, transformed into a thunderbolt that tore through the heavens and earth, crashing down upon Roya.

Luo Ya was not to be arrogant. He immediately drew his beloved Tiger Soul sword. The scarlet blade, wrapped with black flame patterns, drew a dark red trail in the air and collided with the falling trident in an instant.

boom! !

The ground beneath their feet shattered instantly, and the entire island trembled continuously.

Waves of air spread outwards, even blowing away some of the weaker members of the Charlotte family who were watching the battle.

And of course, as is customary, the clouds in the sky are torn apart.

"A hand?"

At this moment, Bonney, who had been staring wide-eyed, couldn't help but exclaim, "He blocked Katakuri's attack with just one hand!"

Roya was indeed relaxed and at ease at this moment, casually blocking Katakuri's heavy blow with a single slash, and he even had time to leisurely offer a comment.
"Your mastery of Conqueror's Haki is very high. In terms of pure technique, it seems you're even stronger than me."

"You brat, you're as annoying as ever!"

With a low shout from Katakuri, the entire island suddenly trembled violently.

Except for the area where Charlotte's family executives were gathered, the entire island turned into white rice cakes in that instant.

Then, the rice cakes surged up, transforming into a massive white tsunami that swept over and crushed Roya.

"Oh my! No wonder he's called the White Tyrant!"

Roya looked around with great interest, "Has the Devil Fruit ability been developed to this extent?"

Although the Mochi Mochi Fruit definitely held Katakuri back, the scene is still quite impressive.

"It's not over yet!"

Katakuri's lips curled into a smile.

He knew that his Devil Fruit ability was slightly inferior to those of the other top monsters.

So over the years, he has focused more on honing his domineering aura.

then.

hum!
Amidst a sharp buzzing sound, the white rice cake turned pitch black in the next instant!
A dark, domineering aura enveloped the surging waves, which rushed in like a writhing abyss!

"Barrett, are you? Such extravagant use!"

Luo Ya chuckled, "Then I'll have to get a little more serious."

call!
The wind suddenly rises!

black!

A black wind suddenly swept across the sky!

In an instant, the waves collided directly with the rice cakes, and with a sharpness that should not belong to the wind, they instantly shattered the high waves into pieces.

"Wow! What is this?!"

Charlotte Daifuku let out a scream; even a strong man like him was almost blown away.

"Everyone, get some distance!!"

Perospero quickly shouted, "They are both monsters in the truest sense!"

Only Bonnie remained standing still.

"You can summon natural disasters without using any abilities?! I've wanted to say this for a long time, your abilities are just too strange! Glutinous Rice Ball Thrust!"

Even the gale was pierced in that instant, dark red lightning surged, and a piercing spike came straight at you.

Luo Ya simply parried with his sword.

laugh!
Sparks flew as the two weapons collided, creating what appeared to be a miniature sun that emitted intense light and heat.

The two of them backed away at the same time.

However, the tips of the giant mochi tentacles were covered with domineering aura, and like spears, they immediately stabbed towards Roya.

At the same time, the ground beneath his feet was also surging, trying to bind him.

"The awakening of Paramecia-types isn't necessarily powerful; it can certainly be quite troublesome."

Roya grumbled, "Tiger bite!"

Dark red energy surged from the blade in his hand, and in the next instant, a dark red tiger hundreds of meters long instantly materialized. The tiger roared and swung its claws, easily tearing apart all the rice cake tentacles that were sweeping towards it.

Then he roared at Katakuri.

A deep, dark red beam of light surged forth, and the air was instantly blasted into a mournful wail, as if it could not bear the weight.

but.

Katakuri needs to be faster!
The instant the beam of light shot out, he transformed into a black shadow and launched himself forward. In the next instant, he leaped up and slammed his trident heavily into the jaw of the giant tiger.

The domineering aura honed over twenty years was indeed terrifying; a huge hole was blasted into the tiger's head.

Unfortunately, this tiger wasn't a real living being, so it naturally had no weaknesses. Even with its head smashed, it didn't stop its massive claws from slamming down on Katakuri.

"too slow!"

The air hummed continuously. Katakuri's eyes flashed red. He easily stepped on the tiger's claws as he stepped on the air, turning the tables and running up the massive, dark red limbs. In the next instant, he leaped into the air.

"Elbaf's Spear·Powerful Country!"

A massive, domineering shockwave crashed down.

"You can do it too?"

Standing atop the tiger's head, Roya looked up and commented with a smile, "Not bad at all. You know how to use this kind of move to make up for your weakness in ranged attacks."

"In that case, Wei Kingdom!"

Roya also swung his sword.

Unlike Katakuri's almost transparent Haki shockwave, Roja's sword wave was a dark red torrent!
boom!
The two forces collided with such passion that the sky seemed to be shattered.

The next instant, Katakuri suddenly crashed onto the tiger's back, his figure blurring again, leaving only a sharp trail in the air as his trident tore through the sky, slashing directly at Roya.

Just as Roya was about to swing his sword to block, the trident suddenly transformed into a rice cake, twisting and deforming to easily bypass his sword, and then reformed in the next instant, mercilessly slashing towards his head.

"Observation Haki allows you to foresee the future, right?"

Roya was not surprised.

It would be strange if Katakuri hadn't yet mastered the ability to foresee the future.

So he charged headfirst into the trident.

boom!
Amidst the roar, two figures retreated rapidly.

However, in the next instant, the two rushed closer again, and the longsword and trident clashed once more.

Both of their eyes gleamed with a red light.

Both of them were peering into the future!

As Roja cleaved Katakuri's trident in two with a single strike, he chuckled, "There's no point in foreseeing the future together, is there?"

"No point? As long as I can see further into the future than you, isn't that enough?"

A jet-black fist came hurtling towards me.

Roya quickly dodged to the side, then hurriedly blocked the trident that was thrusting towards him with his sword.

He was sent flying by the blow.

"Roya! Still not using your ability?"

Katakuri roared, "I'll show you the power I've honed over these twenty-five years!"

The domineering lightning on the trident suddenly surged, and Katakuri pierced through the air.

"Impressive, Katakuri. I must admit, judging from this, your Armament Haki and Observation Haki are indeed superior to mine." Roja chuckled. "But—"

"Ok?"

Katakuri's expression suddenly froze.

Can't see it anymore!

There's no future for Roya!
In that instant when he lost his future vision, Roja's body twisted like a pretzel, deftly dodging Katakuri's thrusting trident, and then slashed back with his sword.

Katakuri could only defend by crossing his left arm, "Horned Mochi!"

The shape of his left arm became square, with two-tone domineering energy wrapped around it.

when!
With a deafening clang like metal clashing, Katakuri was cleaved away by Roja's sword, blood splattering across the sky.

"What!!"

Perospero stared in disbelief, "Katakuri, Katakuri was sent flying!"

"How could such a thing happen?!"

The eldest daughter, Compote, also looked utterly bewildered. "That's Katakuri!"

Bonney was a little confused. "Brother Peros, didn't you just say that Roja was one of the top fighters on the high seas more than twenty years ago? Isn't it normal for Brother Katakuri to get injured?"

That's because,"

Cracker behind him practically gritted his teeth, "That bastard is a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit user! He hasn't even gone all out yet!"

"Eh!!!"

Bonnie was speechless.

He was able to fight Katakuri's brother, who is the Pirate Emperor, to this extent, and he still wasn't going all out.
How strong must this guy be?!

Katakuri also looked somewhat displeased. He glanced at the long, narrow wound on his left arm. "Straw Hat's technique?"

The mention of a straw hat almost caught Roya off guard.

After thinking for a couple of seconds, he suddenly realized, then smiled and nodded, "Strictly speaking, it's Roger's technique. What, Katakuri, you've also fought that kid from Roger's ship?"

"He's very strong! He's probably close to Roger back in the day."

Katakuri straightened up slightly, then changed the subject, "But what exactly is your ability? I don't recall that the awakening of a Zoan type can enhance the user's power!"

Roya's power is exaggeratedly strong.

At this moment, the Conqueror's Haki he displayed was mediocre and not even as good as his own, and his Armament Haki was even weaker than his own. However, under these circumstances, he could still fight his opponent to a standstill!

Is this right?
"That's why I said it's evolution."

"Roya said with a smile."

"Then what are you waiting for?"

Katakuri pointed his trident at Roya, "Let me see your evolved power!"

"Okay."

Luo Ya nodded happily.

He was also curious about what kind of power he would possess if he went all out after evolving.

I will attack in the form of Qiongqi!
As black hair began to grow, a dark aura suddenly emerged from around Roya.

In that instant, even the Charlotte family executives watching from afar suddenly felt a heavy weight pressing down on their hearts.

"What's this!"

Charlotte Smoothie's forehead was covered in sweat. "This chilling feeling!!"

As if the sky itself sensed this, thick dark clouds suddenly gathered, celebrating the birth of the Demon King!
In the sky, broad black wings spread open, and Roya groaned comfortably, "Not a needle prick! This feeling is not a needle prick at all!"

Katakuri's gaze, however, had become so serious it was almost tangible.

Roya's appearance at this time was vastly different from his past self.

The most obvious change is that it has become bigger.

In the past, when Roja used his abilities, his physical size did not change drastically.

But now, his size has increased to over five meters, and he is no shorter than me.

Then, the hair covering his body tangled together, forming an exoskeleton-like structure that coalesced into a set of jet-black armor on his body, covered with various spikes, looking ferocious.

The pair of enormous horns extending from his forehead were now even larger, winding and spiraling upwards, standing atop Roya's head like a majestic crown.

Finally, there was the black aura surrounding Roya; just looking at it gave Katakuri an ominous feeling.

"Wow! Katakuri is so strong!"

Luo Ya laughed heartily, like a little kid who had just received a new toy and couldn't wait to show it off to his friends. "I'm really strong now!"

"It's as if it could tear the sky apart!"

hum!
A thick, imposing bolt of lightning suddenly shot into the sky.

boom!
The island below began to shake violently.

The sea around the island began to churn.

The air between heaven and earth began to wail.

Even though Roja deliberately avoided the Charlotte family, the lingering aura of his domineering presence still caused the onlookers to fall like wheat being harvested.

Even experts like Irving, Dafu, Perospero, and Perospero felt dizzy and unsteady.

then.

Boom!

The sky is shaking!
The dark clouds that had just covered the sky were instantly torn to shreds, and in the blink of an eye, the clear sky reappeared!

"That kind of Conqueror's Haki!!"

Bonnie exclaimed incredulously, "Is this still human?"

Not only her, but Katakuri couldn't help but smile wryly as well, "Did you really travel through twenty-five years of time directly?"

It seems like the gap hasn't narrowed at all!
"Are you ready, Katakuri!"

Roya raised the knife in his hand, pointing it at his old friend. "Next, it's all out!"

As its size grew larger, the flame-like black patterns on the surface of the Tiger Soul spread further, and the dark red aura turned into billowing smoke that rose into the air.

Full power is the release of domineering aura; it involves using the energy transformed from black energy to enhance physical strength and domineering aura.

This strike was utterly merciless!

"bring it on!"

Katakuri laughed loudly, and the surface of his trident surged with a domineering aura, even launching himself towards Roya.

"This is my all-out effort! Meteor Thrust!"

The trident's mere spinning created a storm, mixed with dark lightning, engulfing most of the sky.

This blow penetrated the stars!

Luo Ya’s large wings flapped, causing the air to surge instantly. He created a vacuum zone with just a flap of his wings!
Using this power, Roya transformed into a bolt of black lightning, smashing directly through the oncoming storm.

"Roya!"

Within the eye of the storm, Katakuri laughed as he thrust his halberd forward.

"Katakuri!!"

Roya laughed heartily as well, and his long sword, billowing with thick smoke, slashed down mercilessly.

boom! !

The storm exploded in the next instant, and the violent shockwave swept across everything in the world.

The island below was completely ravaged. If the dazed Perospero hadn't quickly used his ability to release candy and grab his unconscious brothers and sisters, they would probably have been taking a bath in the sea.

At that very moment, a soft sound rang out from the sky.

The trident was cleaved into pieces with a single blow, its fragments flying everywhere.

Katakuri held only the bare hilt of his halberd.

His gaze was somewhat wistful.

Because the dark red blade was now positioned across his neck.

"How are you doing, my friend?"

Luo Ya smiled smugly.

"Indeed remarkable, no match for you at all."

Katakuri said quietly, "Even if we go all out, we can only hold out for a few more seconds. But Roya,"

"That trident is the one that was fused with the Yama fragment you gave me back then. Now, it seems that it can't even be repaired."

"Forehead--"

Luo Ya's smile froze slightly.

I'm so damn stupid.

In any case, this battle is over.

Luo Ya now had a general understanding of his own strength.

It has completely surpassed the limits of human capability.

It's hard to say whether he's as strong as Im's original form, but if Im dares to do anything like possessing me again, I'll beat that guy to a pulp!

Unless that guy also has unlimited battery life.

Now that the fight is over, according to another rule of the martial arts world, it's time to hold a banquet.

The executives of the Charlotte family gathered together.

Luo Ya saw many familiar faces again.

Chiffon and Lola, it seems Lola didn't run away this time because of Aunt Lingling's forced marriage. Loki probably hasn't even met them. But then again, Loki's taste is definitely in line with his father's.

And Pudding, who is only twelve years old this year, doesn't cover her eyes with her hair like in the original work. Katakuri's rise has indeed provided a safe haven for his bullied younger siblings.

Fortunately, the dark energy in this world has become so dense that Roya can enjoy delicious food anytime, anywhere.

Otherwise, given the security situation in Whole Cake Island under Katakuri's rule, Roja would have no choice but to ask his good brother to prepare some special dishes for him.

At the height of the banquet's atmosphere, Katakuri announced that they would be going to bring their mother back, and at the same time, help Roa deal with Wang Zhi, who was entrenched on Beehive Island.

Immediately, everyone responded.

It's clear that everyone has been suffering under Wang Zhi and the others for a long time.

After the banquet, Roa took a Den Den Mushi and dialed a number he had just obtained from Katakuri.

The call was connected very quickly.

"Oh? Who is it? Any big news to share?"

A familiar, but much older, voice came from the other end.

Roya raised the corners of his mouth. "Morgans, are you ready to shock the world again?"

The other side fell silent instantly, and all Luo Ya could hear was someone's heavy and rapid breathing.

then.

"Boss!! You're finally back? Hahahaha! Ready? Of course, we're always ready! Always ready for the day you shake the world once again!!"
