One Piece: Nobody knows Devil Fruits better than me.

Chapter 139 Luo Yi: You're making me really angry!

Soaring flames and a massive mushroom cloud rose into the sky, and the surging explosion instantly shattered the flesh and blood of the rare beast along with the surrounding earth.

"."

Inside the Golden Lion's palace, the pirates were stunned.

"Boss Shiki"

"Are all these navy men insane?"

They could never have imagined that the final counterattack by the navy, which seemed to be in dire straits, would be of this magnitude.

But only a moment later.
"Hey! Look here—it's Boss Shiki!"

"He's fine!"

"I knew it! How could such a legendary figure be injured by a bunch of marines!"

"What a bunch of idiots! They knew their opponent was that 'Golden Lion' and still did this, just to lose their lives for nothing!"

Their voices weren't low.

What they said wasn't entirely wrong.

At this moment, all that could be seen was outside the thick black smoke and the blast radius.

A massive rock, shaped like a lion, slowly emerged from the smoke and dust.

Shiki the Golden Lion floated in the mouth of the giant, upturned stone lion, the dark Armament Haki flowing around him slowly fading away.

His clothes remained spotless.

【Lion's Might - Earth Roll】

Just as these pirates said.

Even the desperate attack that Hans and the others had planned from the beginning was not enough to harm a powerhouse of the 'Golden Lion' level.

But
"idiot."

The golden lion muttered to himself.

But at this moment, the idiots he was referring to were clearly not the group of marines, but rather the group of pirates in his palace who were not trying to hide their voices.

His expression was somewhat complicated.

Just moments ago, the soldiers of the detention unit pressed the detonation button without hesitation.

He almost had a vague feeling that he was seeing a shadow of the past.

That attitude of knowing the vast gap in skill, yet still choosing to fight and never backing down.

"'Black Xie'."

The golden lion murmured the code name softly.

Having hidden here for nearly twenty years, he only had a 'some understanding' of this code name before this incident.

But now, he has remembered the other person.

because
"That young man from the new era of the Navy has a remarkable group of subordinates."

He muttered to himself.

But clearly, he knew what he should be doing at that moment.

He should despise these marines to establish his authority among the pirates in the rear—most of them are indeed useless, but at least they are a fighting force.

"You navy people, really..."

However, at this point in the Golden Lion's words...

"well done."

But he heard a sound.

Then he realized with a start that the sound of the wind coming from in front of him seemed rather harsh.

"!!!"

The next moment, the thick smoke and dust dissipated in an instant.

Everyone could see the scene within the smoke and dust.

Contrary to expectations, the navy personnel did not turn to ashes in the explosion.

Quite the opposite.

At this moment, they are all still alive.

A figure stood before them.

"Buzz!"

Golden ripples swirled with the surrounding gale, forming a massive barrier.

Amidst the golden ripples, the word 'Justice' on the naval cloak draped over that figure swayed in the wind.

Roy looked calmly at the marines in front of him, whose injuries were quite severe.

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone."

Especially seeing Hans, whose breath was weak, he took off his navy cloak and covered him with it.

At this moment, the marines all looked at Roy with incredulous eyes.

"Sir."

Some of them had red eyes, and some were gritting their teeth.

"You're here."

It's obvious—no one is unafraid of death, and they are no exception.

At that moment, Hans grinned and said, "I knew you'd come."

"Hehe, boss, we didn't embarrass you."

He continued to say things that he shouldn't have said in this setting.

But this time, Roy didn't criticize him.

"Ah."

He simply nodded slightly: "I saw it all—"

"Excellent fight."

He said softly, "As your superior, it should be my pride."

Hans's smile grew even more delighted: "Unfortunately, Far can't hear you right now."

"Just relay the message to him when he wakes up."

At that moment, Roy slowly stood up.

"Get some rest." He turned around and clenched his fist.

The crisp, melodious 'click-click' sound said, "Leave the rest to me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hans seemed to finally relax and fainted.

At the same time, soldiers from other detention units also fell one after another.

Their bodies had already reached their limits.

at the same time--

"Roar!"

"Woo!"

Countless roars echoed from all directions, following the aftershocks of the explosion.

Those were the 'rare beast weapons' that the Golden Lion had prepared over the years—although some of them were killed in the powerful explosion just now.

However, a considerable number of rare animals still remain in this 'hunting ground'.

At this moment, they clearly wanted to come over and compete for the 'prey' that had collapsed from exhaustion.

It also chewed up and swallowed the only 'prey' still standing on the ground.

"They claim they can conquer the sea just by relying on a bunch of wild beasts."

But after seeing this scene, Roy felt no fear.

"I don't care."

He slowly stepped forward.

then
"Buzz!"

【Tyrannosaurus Rex LV4 - Ancient Spirit】

A powerful aura instantly swept outwards from his body.

That ferocious aura, with its natural and terrifying suppressive power over wild beasts, swept across the entire floating island in an instant.

then
"boom!"

"boom!"

Accompanied by a heavy thud as he fell to the ground.

That entire floating island contained almost all the 'rare beast weapons'.

In that instant, they all fainted.

at the same time
"Buzz!"

Roy casually waved to the back.

An invisible wave reappeared, enveloping the unconscious marines.

This iconic scene, coupled with the black gauntlets in Roy's hands that were now slowly covered with cherry blossoms, fluttering like a lion's mane.

"It's that legendary 'Hadouken'!"

"That person is definitely him! It's him—he's 'Black Xie' Roy!"

How did he find this place?

"The rare beasts have all fallen. Could it be...?"

The pirates inside the palace gasped in unison, recognizing his identity.

Some pirates with even a little knowledge believed they could see through the power Roy was using.

"Overlord color?"

At the same time, Golden Lion took a puff of his cigar and exhaled: "However, such a ferocious spirit... is a bit strange."

He muttered to himself, but his expression turned unmistakably serious as he looked at Roy: "'Black Xie'—I've heard of you, Zephyr's disciple, the Navy's latest... um!?"

He stopped abruptly before he could finish speaking.

Because at this moment, Roy's figure
"Shh!"

It appeared before him, accompanied by a piercing whistling sound.

The speed was so fast that the Golden Lion didn't even have time to react.

[Fruit Assembly - Speed ​​Enhancement]

And in the Golden Lion's ear, Roy's voice rang out.

I had no interest in chatting with you.

Before he could finish speaking, Roy's fist, wrapped in black cherry blossoms, had already struck him in the abdomen.

"But I must tell you, I think my subordinates are absolutely right!"

As he spoke these words, the cigar in the Golden Lion's mouth flew out along with the blood.

"Boom!"

His body was instantly blasted away, crashing straight up through the cliff outside the palace, and he continued to fly upwards.

But Roy's actions did not stop at all.

He simply bent his knees.

"boom!"

Thick smoke and snowflakes rose up, and his figure suddenly vanished without a trace.

The next moment, he had already reappeared on the top of the golden lion's head.

"Buzz!"

He clenched his fist, and golden light surged and shone brightly on his knuckles.

"The so-called 'maritime legend' that disappeared more than ten years ago is an old-fashioned thing from the past—just keep hiding!"

Roy's eyes held a mixture of fiery and icy anger.

His muscles were constantly changing and surging; at this moment, his black body flow had been activated.

"Since you've come out at a time like this, and even gathered a bunch of trash to attack my subordinates..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Roy's fist slammed towards the golden lion and the 'palace' below that symbolized his rule.

"You're making me really angry right now, you pirate!"
