An irrepressible ambition rose from the bottom of his heart.

"Boom!"

During the battle between Sengoku and Rayleigh, a terrifying Conqueror's Haki, mixed with a mental storm, was unleashed.

The aura emanating from Roy firmly established itself in the arena where the two men's domineering presences intertwined.

"Ha ha ha ha!!"

"I truly do possess the qualities of a king!"

Roy laughed wildly. The awakening of Conqueror's Haki not only allowed him to break free from the clash of their Haki, but also greatly increased his mental strength, taking his development of Devil Fruit abilities to a new level.

The surge in his mental power caused his Conqueror's Haki to awaken, and the initial burst of power was mixed with a mental storm, allowing the Conqueror's Haki to cause damage to the surrounding objects as soon as it was awakened.

This is an ability that can only be obtained when Conqueror's Haki has been trained to its highest level!

Sengoku and Rayleigh, two top-tier powerhouses, simultaneously sensed the sudden surge of Conqueror's Haki. Although it felt immature, the Haki was filled with a heart-palpitating sense of oppression.

"That brat..."

Zhan Guo frowned, and the Buddhist light around him flickered erratically.

He had seen too many geniuses, but this was the first time he had ever seen someone awaken Conqueror's Haki at such a young age.

What's more, this kid was clearly seriously injured and exhausted at the moment, yet he was still able to unleash such domineering power at the critical moment of life and death.

"Hahaha! Kid, you have your own ambitions to achieve too!"

With a single slash, Rayleigh swept aside the slightly stunned Sengoku the Buddha and instantly appeared beside Roy. Rayleigh laughed, his eyes flashing with admiration.

"Warring States period, do you see this? This is the monster of the new era!"

Roy was trembling all over, and veins were bulging on his forehead.

Although the awakening of Conqueror's Haki caused his mental power to surge, the successive bursts pushed his body to its limit. He felt every cell in his body screaming, and his severely injured body longed for rest.

pain!

It hurts so much!!

His physical exhaustion nearly caused him to faint.

"I...can't...fall down yet."

Roy gritted his teeth and slowly sat up from the ground.

He has already earned his ticket to becoming a top expert in this battle; now all that's left is to retreat. As long as he escapes the pursuit...

If I can survive for a few more years and find some powerful partners, then nothing on this vast ocean will be able to stop me.

With his last ounce of strength, he slowly unleashed his mental power, drawing upon the seawater. A massive curtain of water swept towards Sengoku, forcing him to retreat in order to avoid getting wet and thus wiping out his Devil Fruit powers.

Although this little bit of seawater wouldn't weaken a powerful person like him, there was also Rayleigh, the King of the Underworld, watching him intently from the side!

"Good job, kid!!"

As Sengoku retreated, Rayleigh scooped up Roy and flew away towards the distant ship, stepping on the air.

Seeing Roy being taken away by Rayleigh, Sengoku remained silent for a moment on the shore and did not pursue them.

After all, Borsalino, one of the three monsters of the new generation of the Navy and the future hope of the Navy, has been at sea for quite some time.

If a rescue operation isn't launched soon, they could very well die unexpectedly during this mission.

He turned and instructed the marines who had just approached to arrange for those who could swim to rescue Borsalino in the water, while he himself went ahead to headquarters to report to the Marshal.

On the return journey, Sengoku stood on the deck, looking in the direction Rayleigh had left.

He thought this mission was just a few audacious pirates, and that he could easily deal with them with his strength. He didn't expect that members of the Roger Pirates would also be involved.

This resulted in not only failing to capture Roy and his gang, but also allowing them to escape successfully.

That brat named Roy possesses such terrifying talent at such a young age.

He was able to use it to that extent right after eating the Devil Fruit, with Observation Haki that could see into people's hearts, and Conqueror's Haki that he had just awakened and could cause destruction to his surroundings.

"This is such a headache!"

At this moment, the Buddha of Warring States murmured softly.

"Admiral Sengoku, Borsalino has been rescued," a marine reported as he ran over.

"How is he?"

"He's mostly fine physically, it's just..."

"Just what?"

"When he woke up, he looked serious and kept muttering things like, 'How scary!' and 'I almost died.'"

Sengoku rubbed his temples in exasperation.

This Borsalino, despite being quite strong, always acts like a lazy bum.

However, he was indeed careless this time. Who would have thought that a kid could knock a user of the Glint-Glint Fruit into the sea?

"Tell Borsalino to return to headquarters on his own. I'm going to call the Marshal."

"Brubrubru... Brubrubru..."

"This is Kong, the Steel Bone." A steady voice came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

"Marshal, this mission has failed," Sengoku reported succinctly.

"Failed? With your and Borsalino's strength, how could you fail to capture a rookie pirate?" Kong's tone revealed doubt.

"Rayleigh, the King of Hades, has intervened."

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

"Rayleigh...that man from Roger's pirate crew?"

"Yes." Sengoku paused, "There's one more thing. That Roy not only possesses a Devil Fruit ability similar to Shiki the Golden Lion, but he also awakened Conqueror's Haki during the battle."

"Conqueror's Haki?"

"Yes! And he can cause damage to physical objects right after awakening." Sengoku's tone became serious. "Marshal, this brat is dangerous. With the talent he's showing now, he'll cause another big problem on the high seas in the future."

This time, Steel Bone remained silent for an even longer period.

"Sengoku, once you return, immediately issue a bounty on Roy's gang."

"As for the bounty, let's set it at two hundred million."

"Two hundred million?" Sengoku was also taken aback when he heard the bounty amount.

"Marshal, isn't two hundred million too high?"

"Not high. Someone who dared to attack a Celestial Dragon in Sabaody Archipelago, and who awakened Conqueror's Haki at such a young age and escaped from you, even with Rayleigh's help, is worth the price."

"I understand, click."

Two hundred million? In this era, if the first bounty can reach two hundred million, the entire ocean will notice him.

At that point, both the navy and the pirates will be keeping an eye on this brat.

By exposing Roy to everyone's view, he has no chance to hide his growth time.

Perhaps, this is what Marshal Kong intended!

......

A sea area far from the island of Sabaody.

Rayleigh had already brought the seriously injured Roy to the ship.

At this moment, Roy was lying on the deck, panting heavily, blood still seeping from the wound in his abdomen, and his spirit was almost completely exhausted.

Tesoro and Stella, watching from the side, were extremely anxious, frantically searching for bandages in the cabin.

Roy smiled as he watched the two flustered people.

survived.

Not only did he survive, he also awakened Conqueror's Haki.

This battle was worth it.
