One Piece: Nobody knows Devil Fruits better than me.

Chapter 201 You seem a little flustered, little brother?

On Montblanc Island, the fighting and cries of agony continue.

"Mommy! Mommy! It hurts so much—it hurts so much!"

"Mommy said someone will come to help Weevil, Mommy, where are you? Weevil is in so much pain."

On Edward Weebull's ugly face, snot was flowing from his nose, tears were uncontrollable, and his howls became increasingly ferocious.

At this point, his body had reached a state that looked extremely terrifying.

Blood was constantly seeping from all parts of his body, and as he cried out, pieces of shattered organs and flesh would occasionally spill out of his mouth along with the blood.

The obese body bore marks of being pierced in various places.

"It really is the same as before, with such exaggerated vitality."

At this moment, Zephyr, who caused these injuries, was breathing heavily.

He took out his asthma medication again, took a puff, and stared at Weevil with his still cold gaze.

Yes, Zephyr knew very well.

Even among monsters, Weevil is a very special one.

His body was very strong; his natural strength and martial arts skills, which came from an unknown source, made him stronger than most pirates.

Whether it's his physique, his martial arts skills, or his opponent's demeanor, many times it reminds Zephyr of the 'Whitebeard' from his younger days.

That was before Whitebeard ate the Tremor-Tremor Fruit and reached his peak—at that time, Whitebeard was known throughout the seas for his monstrous physique, powerful martial arts, and overwhelming Haki.

But this is not important.

Even though Weevil possessed such physique and strength, Zephyr's power was still superior to his.

This has been true both four years ago and today.

The reason why the training ship led by Zephyr suffered such an end four years ago was simply because of the vitality that Weevil was showing at this moment.

It wouldn't even be accurate to call it vitality—because Weevil's regenerative ability isn't outstanding; he's simply resilient.

Or
This guy doesn't seem like a 'living being' at all.

Even with his internal organs shattered and his body pierced, he would only cry out "It hurts so much!" and then continue fighting.

It was with this terrifying vitality that he managed to withstand Zefa's fierce attacks until Zefa's asthma flared up, at which point he took the opportunity to cut off one of Zefa's arms.

Now this guy's vitality seems to have increased again—Zeffa even doubts whether the other party will actually be killed.

"However, on the other hand, it's quieter than I expected."

At that moment, Zefa finished inhaling his asthma medication and tossed it aside, lost in thought.

According to his estimation, the surrounding navy and kingdom forces should be about to stop him by now, and Ain and Binz should be about to engage in battle with them.

But the truth is no.

The whole island was peaceful.

"."

At that moment, Zephyr suddenly had a feeling.

He suddenly thought of his disciple.

"Loy."

He murmured quietly.

"You are the hope of the ocean in this era—don't go down into the abyss with this old man, you silly boy."

Meanwhile, on another vast ocean...

"You want me to cooperate with your 'work'?"

Thatcherz M. Pierre Saint's voice was still clenched through gritted teeth.

His anger seemed never to dissipate.

He looked at Roy: "Speaking of which, that idiot just now said you were 'Black Xie'—on the contrary, I think I've heard of you before."

“My servant told me that people seem to be worshipping a navy as ‘the hope of the new era’ lately.”

His words were full of disdain.

As a knight of the gods, he wouldn't even take the navy seriously.

As for 'hope', that's an even more boring joke.

but
"You really are different from what the intelligence said."

His gaze swept over the silent warships on the surrounding sea, and his words were tinged with gloom.

He certainly recognized the power Roy had just used.

Or rather—all the knights of the gods naturally know that power.

Conqueror's Haki. A term that evokes disgust.

The problem is that none of the information he knows mentions that 'Black Xie' Roy has awakened Conqueror's Haki—in fact, very few people in the entire Navy have awakened Conqueror's Haki.

"Did he just awaken it? His use of Conqueror's Haki was indeed very crude just now."

Pierre Saint muttered to himself.

Yes.

Although Roy's Conqueror's Haki only flashed by for a moment.

However, he was still certain that Roy's use of Conqueror's Haki was not very profound; he only used the simplest form of 'Conqueror's Haki externalization'.

But therein lies the problem.

"Is Conqueror's Haki, which has only been awakened recently, already that powerful?"

Pierre Saint could feel the surge of power within him at that moment.

That power originated from his left arm, from the mark on his left arm—just now, the intensity of Roy's Conqueror's Haki had even alarmed its power.

Moreover, the oppressive feeling just now even caused the sky and the sea to distort...

"Conqueror's Haki at the level of a Yonko?"

so.
"What a joke!"

His expression seemed to grow increasingly angry.

"Crack!"

The loud cutting sound grew even stronger from within the strange armor he wore.

"A mere naval officer from a lower realm... dreaming of becoming king!"

As the words fell.

He raised his hand.

"boom!"

A piercing shriek had already been heard.

The attack that had instantly turned Claymiller into a bloody mist just moments before reappeared.

At that moment, Roy activated his ability without hesitation.

Hadouken: Fudo Myo-ō Body

"Buzz!"

The golden waves surged instantly, transforming into flowing waves outside his body.

But
"Um!?"

The next moment, Roy's expression changed slightly.

Because he sensed that the fluctuations he was emitting had become somewhat out of control.

then
"[Fruit Enhancement - Five Senses Enhancement]!"

Roy instantly activated his enhanced senses and caught the incoming attack in the blink of an eye.

It appeared to be something white.

At this moment, it had already collided with the wave surrounding Roy—its speed was almost equivalent to that of the 'Rumble-Rumble Fruit' and 'Glint-Glint Fruit' in Roy's knowledge. Even after activating his five senses enhancement, he was completely unable to capture the specific shape of the attack.

"That is."

Roy was puzzled.

"boom!"

But in that brief moment of thought, Roy discovered that the fluctuations around him were actually coming back towards him!

"!!!"

Even Roy couldn't help but be taken aback.

But he reacted very quickly, immediately waving his hand.

Behind him, the Black Loyalty, which was heading towards Montblanc Island, was thrown into the air by Roy in the next moment.

"Boss!?" *2
Hans and Farr, who were on the deck at that moment, turned around in surprise. Then, they saw an unbelievable scene.

On the sea surface where they had just been, the shockwave created by Roy struck back, creating a massive tsunami across the entire ocean.

Meanwhile, from the tsunami.

The white, unknown attack object, just like the previous attack on Clemiller, pierced through the tsunami's giant wave along with the sea surface.

A dark 'hole' appeared in the sea again, which was smoothed out after a moment.

This caused Hans and Fal to stare in astonishment.

They were unaware of the existence of the Knight of God, and they hadn't taken the Celestial Dragon seriously at all—after all, in the eyes of most ordinary people, the Celestial Dragon was synonymous with 'trash'.

But the current situation speaks for itself.

The Celestial Dragon in front of me is still 'trash'.

But he is undoubtedly a very strong 'trash'.

However, only a moment later.
"Buzz!"

A powerful golden wave erupted once more, shattering the surging tsunami.

Roy's figure reappeared from the seawater where he had fallen.

"Oh?"

At that moment, the Divine Knight named Pierre Saint let out a cold laugh: "You actually managed to withstand my 'God-Slaying Spear'? You're not bad, you lower-level creature."

He said so.

But
"The third warning is ineffective. It seems that Your Excellency, the Celestial Dragon, has rejected my reasonable mission request."

Roy, however, clearly had no intention of communicating with him and interrupted him as soon as he spoke.

"According to the rules and regulations governing naval operations, I will have the authority to retaliate against anyone who obstructs the mission."

He continued talking to himself, and then...
"boom!"

Punch!

The next moment, a wave of flames and frost erupted.

The waves of the entire ocean were frozen, then burned and evaporated in an instant. Intense steam burst forth, and the terrifying destructive force caused the entire sea surface to cave in in an instant, heading straight towards the massive hull of the 'Northern Cross Star'.

"You actually dare to attack me?"

Pierre Saint sneered.

However, he showed no intention of avoiding it.

On the contrary, the red smoke emanating from the holes in his armor began to swirl and circulate, enveloping his figure like a cloud of flames.

"However, it's pointless!"

"boom!"

As the two Hadoukens approached him, they suddenly reversed direction just like before.

But just moments later, they were heading straight for Roy again!

Even the Hadouken that was countered seemed to have become even faster and stronger!

"impossible!"

Hans, aboard the Black Loyal, also stared wide-eyed upon witnessing this scene.

"They actually deflected the boss's Hadouken back again!"

"What exactly is that guy's ability?"

It was precisely at the moment Hans exclaimed in surprise.

"Oh?"

Roy narrowed his eyes, looking at the 'red smoke' surrounding the Saint of Pierre.

A hint of speculation flashed in his eyes.

"Buzz!"

At the same time, fluctuations reappeared in his hand.

He threw another punch.

"Boom!"

Their fists collided with the shockwave that was being countered.

Thus, flames collided with flames, and frost tore at each other.

In the end, they all disappeared from each other.

"It's useless, it's a mortal species."

Pierre Saint's undisguised arrogance rang out once more.

"As a mortal, your strength is indeed impressive, but it is nothing compared to mine."

"My abilities, my bloodline, everything about me is superior to yours."

He said arrogantly, "So grovel at my feet, and if you do, I might spare your life and reluctantly make you my slave."

He said this with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

If one could subdue such a powerful user of Conqueror's Haki, or even make them one's subordinate—even for a knight of gods, this would be something to be proud of.

But at this point, he paused.

Because at that moment, Roy had already raised his hand.

He extended his index finger and thumb, making a gun-like gesture.

And from his index finger
"Buzz!"

Fluctuations constantly converge and are then continuously compressed.

Hadouken: Spirit Bullet

Seeing this, Pierre Saint sneered, "Idiot—don't you understand? The difference between us."

"Any attack you launch is ineffective against me. I can return it all to you tenfold!"

As he spoke, the crimson smoke once again spread out from the hole, enveloping his entire body.

"My abilities are invincible!"

He said proudly.

But as soon as he said those words, his expression suddenly changed.

Because at this very moment
He clearly saw Roy's thumb bend slightly.

"Sizzle!" "Sizzle!"

And from his index finger.

Black and red lightning, a dominant color, flowed across it.

Just like before—under that intense domineering aura, the entire sea and sky seemed to begin to distort.

"That is."

Pierre Saint's pupils contracted instantly.

His movements changed for the first time.

Almost instinctively, he raised his arm, and the red smoke swirling around him intensified.

But
Just moments later, he was astonished to discover...

The 'bullet' in Roy's hand shattered and disintegrated in an instant.

The Conqueror's Hide Lightning also dissipated silently.

"It failed. It turns out that 'entanglement' is not that easy to achieve after all."

At that moment, Roy glanced at his fingers and muttered to himself.

But then he looked at Pierre Saint, whose expression seemed somewhat stunned.

"However, the Celestial Dragon has been rambling on and on."

A slightly mocking smile appeared on Roy's lips.

"If I'm not mistaken, you seemed a little flustered just now?"

"You bug."

Upon hearing this, Pierre Saint clenched his teeth and his eyes turned bloodshot.

His armor started clicking and clacking again, and this time it was more intense than ever before.

How dare you—humiliate me like this!?

　I checked, and there are currently no cases in the original One Piece manga where you can determine someone's identity using Conqueror's Haki; you can only roughly guess who someone is based on the strength of their Haki.

　　Even the most well-known example is Green Bull from Wano Country. He initially guessed that the opponent was Shanks (everyone thought it was Momonosuke releasing Haki). Green Bull then deduced that the Haki came from overseas, and knowing it was Yonko-level Haki, coupled with information that the Red-Haired Pirates were nearby, he finally concluded it was Shanks.
