One Piece: The user of the Nen-Nen Fruit, who overturned the sea.

This time,

Roy stopped rushing to attack and instead circled around Roger.

Gravity field, mental shock, telekinetic manipulation and harassment, and alternating use of swordsmanship drag the battle into a grappling fight.

He was well aware of the gap in skill between himself and Roger, and his goal was not simply to win.

Instead, under the pressure of Roger's Conqueror's Haki, he squeezed out his potential, honing his swordsmanship while trying to learn how to use Conqueror's Haki.

Roger saw through Roy's intentions, but instead of being annoyed, he showed appreciation.

"Hahaha! Kid, want to learn Conqueror's Haki Entanglement? Then feel it with your body!"

Amidst his laughter, each swing of Roger's "Ace" was accompanied by black and red lightning.

It's not just a display of power, but more like the ultimate embodiment of will and dominance!

"Gods, beware!"

Roy focused intently, releasing his Conqueror's Haki upon contact, and sideways to hold "Frost" diagonally in front of him—not as a block, but as a guide!

"clang--!"

The violent impact sent him flying again, and the pain in his arm and the blood spilling from the corner of his mouth grew even more.

But this time, Roy's eyes shone with an astonishing light!

Not enough! More!

Roy wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes becoming even more focused, even with a hint of madness.

He charged at Roger again, his gravity field exerting full pressure, his mental attacks like sharp needles piercing Roger's brain. Every strike from his "Frost and Snow" sword...

They all tried to imitate that feeling of highly concentrated domineering aura.

He attempted to forcibly fuse Conqueror's Haki with the power of the Nen-Nen Fruit and his swordsmanship will, unleashing a single slash.

The space around the blade distorted slightly, and faint black and red sparks of electricity flashed by, only to dissipate immediately.

Its power was far less than that of true Conqueror's Haki, and because it distracted Roger, Roger easily found an opening.

"Too impatient, kid!"

Roger laughed loudly, and Ace casually deflected Roy's slash, the back of his blade striking Roy's chest.

"Bang!" Roy was sent flying backward again, his chest heaving with blood and qi.

"The presence of Conqueror's Haki is the ultimate sublimation of one's own will and domineering aura! It's not a simple imitation or patchwork!"

Roger's voice resonated in Roy's heart, "Feel your will! Let your dominance obey the call of your heart!"

Roy lay on the ground, breathing heavily.

Roger's words were like a wake-up call, waking him from the misconception of simply imitating techniques.

Reflecting on his journey at sea, the bonds he forged with his companions, his yearning for freedom, and his ambition to conquer the world and face any challenge... all burned fiercely within him!

"My will..."

Roy murmured, the confusion in his eyes fading, replaced by determination and sharpness.

He slowly stood up, and the aura around him began to change.

The Conqueror's Haki that had been somewhat disordered due to repeated setbacks began to vibrate and condense with a unique rhythm!

Instead of deliberately imitating Roger's black and red lightning, he focused all his attention on himself, using his powerful mental strength to guide the Conqueror's Haki to begin compressing and condensing.

"Oh?"

Roger sensed the transformative and coalescing aura emanating from Roy, and genuine surprise and anticipation appeared in his eyes.

"He's already gotten to the basics so quickly? What a monstrous kid!"

Roy raised "Frost" and the blade was no longer just plain black Armament Haki, but a layer of black and gold light began to swirl and surge around it!

Although it was not yet stable and far less refined than Roger's, it was indeed the prototype of Conqueror's Haki!

"Take this, Roger!"

Roy roared, pouring all his newly fused Conqueror's Haki, along with his own power and will, into this one strike, and slashed out with all his might!

A massive, dark golden sword aura tore through the earth, charging relentlessly towards Roger! This strike had already touched the threshold of the top-tier powerhouse realm!

"Well done!" Roger's eyes flashed with light. Without dodging or avoiding, Ace's black and red lightning boiled to its limit. He laughed loudly as he went to meet him!

"Gods, beware!!!"

The dark gold and black-red light clashed violently once again.

The energy storm that erupted was far greater than ever before; the surrounding rocks and trees were all blown away by the aftershocks, leaving the area in complete disarray.

The entire Apayado region trembled!

The golden bell emitted a melodious hum, as if playing a stirring symphony for this clash between the old and new eras!

As the light faded, Roy knelt on one knee, supporting himself with "Frost and Snow." His clothes were tattered and he looked disheveled, but his eyes shone like stars.

He succeeded! Although it was only a preliminary grasp and consumed a huge amount of energy, he had indeed touched upon the power of Conqueror's Haki!

Roger stood there, watching Roy, who was panting but had an excited look in his eyes. He put Ace away and a smile of immense satisfaction and joy appeared on his face.

"Hahaha! Well done, kid! The future of this sea truly belongs to young people like you!"

Just as their attacks collided, both sides tacitly stopped fighting.

Rhett and Jabba each took a few steps back, both covered in bruises and scrapes, but their eyes were filled with exhilarating pleasure.

Jabba shook his slightly numb arm and grinned, "Big guy, you're really strong! I'll beat you next time!"

"You're not bad either, old man."

On the other side, Hawkeye and Rayleigh simultaneously sheathed their swords.

Hawkeye's chest rose and fell slightly, and a faint bloodstain was visible.

Rayleigh adjusted his glasses and chuckled, "You're quite the young man, Mihawk. Your sword has found its path; all that's left is time to hone it."

Hawkeye nodded slightly, his eyes filled with satisfaction from the duel: "Thank you!"

Clearly, he gained a lot from this battle.

Tesoro and the others also stopped fighting and came to Roy's side.

Pea quickly came to Roy's side, and green life energy slapped into Roy's chest. Wisps of heat rose from the wounds on his body, and they visibly healed. In no time, Roy was completely recovered.

"Good job, Pea. Go and treat the injured."

Roy stroked Pea's emerald green hair, stood up and stretched, then gave an order.

Looking at their companions, everyone had a satisfied smile on their face.

Roger watched this scene, clapping his hands and laughing, his signature mustache twitching, which was quite amusing.

"Hahahaha! The master has finished his duel, the sparring ends here! Men, bring out the wine and food! Let's have a feast!!!"

"oh!!!"

The members of Roger's Pirates cheered immediately. After a day of fighting, their fatigue vanished upon hearing the order to start a banquet. They skillfully lit a campfire and brought out their treasured wines and delicacies.

Roy also said that peas ripened many delicacies on the Boeing Islands, which then joined the feast.
