The battle lasted for two hours, leaving the surrounding streets in a state of utter devastation.

The four were evenly matched in the battle, and none of them could gain the upper hand.

Borsalino once again used his light-speed kick to force Roy back, his body rising into the air. He glanced at the chaotic battlefield and looked at Barrett, who had retreated to Roy's side and was still full of fighting spirit.

"These two are really troublesome; it seems like we won't be able to handle them anytime soon!"

His lewd face seemed troubled, but there was little sign of urgency.

Roy also took this opportunity to catch his breath; the intense concentration and use of his abilities had placed a considerable burden on him.

When fighting a speed-type opponent like Borsalino, you can't be careless for even a second, or you'll be severely injured in an instant.

"Barrett! Almost there!"

He whispered something to Barrett, who, though somewhat unwilling, understood the current situation and nodded in agreement to Roy.

See you next time, Flashman!

After greeting Borsalino, Roy took a deep breath, and his immense psychic power erupted once more, sweeping across the entire battlefield. The rising dust and sand obscured the entire area like a sandstorm.

"Are they trying to escape?"

Upon seeing this, Lieutenant General Varu frowned and was about to rush forward.

"Well, never mind, Lieutenant General Valu."

Kizaru landed beside him, stopping him, and explained as he looked at Varu, who still seemed ready to give chase.

"In this environment, it might come at a high price to keep two guys with Conqueror's Haki who are also quite strong. In addition, the injured marines also need to receive timely medical treatment."

Upon hearing this, Valu had no choice but to give up.

Moreover, his Observation Haki allowed him to sense that Roy and Barrett's presence was rapidly receding, and he couldn't catch up at his speed.

As the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, only the destroyed streets and unconscious naval soldiers remained.

Looking in the direction the two had left, he said helplessly, "I failed to capture them this time. I don't know if I'll be punished by General Sengoku when I get back to headquarters."

"It's alright, Lieutenant General Valu, it's not the first time anyway... 'Heavenly Path' Roy, right? And that new recruit... This sea is going to get lively again~ How scary~"

Borsalino picked at his ear and looked out at the distant sea. A ship was raising its sails and quickly sailing away from the shore, slowly disappearing above the horizon.

On the White Dove.

Roy and Barrett boarded the ship one after the other.

Savi immediately cheered and rushed over, while Tezzolo and Stella breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are you alright, Boss Roy? Brother Barrett?" Savi asked with concern.

"It's nothing, just warming up." Barrett stretched his shoulders. Although he was a little dusty, his eyes were bright, clearly indicating that the battle had been very enjoyable for him.

Roy smiled and looked at the ever-receding War Nation. "The farewell ceremony for one of the Navy's three great monsters and a Vice Admiral from the Headquarters is quite grand."

Tesoro looked at the two, especially sensing the fighting spirit and domineering aura that had not yet completely subsided from them.

While feeling deeply moved, a surge of pride also welled up within me. Following a captain like this, my future is destined to be extraordinary.

"Raise the sails! Full speed ahead!" Roy ordered.

The White Dove sailed against the wind and waves towards the vast ocean.

On the deck, Roy took out the treasure chest containing the Devil Fruits, looked at the three fruits inside, and revealed a meaningful smile.

New companions have boarded the ship, and a new adventure has just begun.

When Roy took out the Devil Fruit, the others curiously gathered around.

Tesoro was the most anxious, after all, he was the first person to know about Devil Fruits.

"Boss, tell me quickly, what kind of Devil Fruits are these?"

Savi and Barrett stared intently at the fruit in Roy's hand, clearly intrigued after learning about its effects.

"Don't rush, let me see first, then we'll talk."

Roy took out the Devil Fruit illustration and compared it with the one in his hand that seemed to be the one Barret ate in the original work. Sure enough, on the page about Paramecia-type Devil Fruits, this dark gray one was the Fusion Fruit.

However, Roy had no intention of letting Barrett eat the fruit again, even though in the original story he had awakened the fruit and possessed considerable strength.

However, Roy felt that given Barrett's physique and fighting style, it would be better to find him a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit or a powerful Paramecia-type Devil Fruit.

I put the fruit down and compared it to the other two; both were very good fruits.

"Boss, tell me quickly!"

Tesoro said anxiously, he desperately hoped that one of these three Devil Fruits would have a power suitable for him.

"Yes, these three are the Paramecia-type Bag-Bag Fruit that the Giant Axe Pirates found, this Paramecia-type Fusion Fruit, and this Zoan-type Ancient Zoan Iron Bone Giant Ape form."

Seeing that the group was staring straight at him, Roy continued.

"This Paramecia-type Pocket-Pocket Fruit doesn't have much offensive power, but after eating it, you can open a pocket in a non-living thing, similar to a separate room, to hold the non-living thing."

"Let's not choose this one; I have other ideas."

After saying that, Roy picked up the Fusion Fruit again and gave Barrett a strange smile.

Barrett looked at him blankly. "What's wrong, Roy? Is this fruit suitable for me?"

"No, no~" Roy quickly replied. "Goodness, if Barrett gets interested and insists on eating this fruit, Roy will regret it to death."

"This one is also a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit—the Fusion Fruit."

"The Fusion Fruit allows you to fuse and arrange inorganic matter to create larger weapons or alter the terrain, but it requires a high level of physical strength and Haki."

Listening to Roy's introduction, Tesoro and the others looked at Barrett with strange expressions. Goodness, this sounded like it was specially prepared for Barrett.

Savi scratched his head, looked at the Fusion Fruit, and then turned to look at Barrett.

"Boss Roy, this looks perfect for Brother Barrett! How can you say it's not suitable for him?"

"Hehehe~" Roy chuckled, "I have my own plans for Barrett's Devil Fruit, and besides, this Devil Fruit isn't suitable for you and Tesoro, but..."

Roy picked up the last animal-type one and handed it to Savi.

"Little Savi, this Ancient Species Ironbone Giant Ape Form is quite suitable for you. After eating it, you can transform into an Ironbone Giant Ape, possessing great strength and physique. Moreover, judging from its name, 'Ironbone' means it has very strong defensive capabilities."

Savi excitedly took the fruit, grinning foolishly, and said, "Boss Roy, if I eat this, can I go head-to-head with the enemy like Brother Barrett?"

Good heavens, Roy never expected that the skinny Savi had such a hobby—liking to clash head-on with the enemy!

Upon hearing this, Barrett reached out and patted Savi's head, laughing as he said, "Eat up quickly. If you want to fight like me in the future, I'll give you a good beating."

Little Savi looked around and saw that everyone was smiling and nodding at him. Without saying anything more, he picked up the Devil Fruit and took a bite.

Next came the much-anticipated scene: Savi swallowed the fruit with difficulty, then stared at the Devil Fruit with an expression of utter disbelief, which made everyone burst into laughter.
