From the Wandenreich's escape to One Piece

Chapter 123 Shiki vs. Roger! The War of the Sea Kings!

Beltz retracted the illusion.

Although he did not have the ability to directly cast illusions, he still managed to bring Sora into the mental realm he created by reflecting reality through the Sea of ​​Mind.

Adam, of course, was him.

He didn't reveal his true form because he had just killed Sora and was now Sora's adversary. Under these circumstances, Sora wouldn't easily accept him.

So he put on a disguise.

Moreover, when he talked to Litoto about time travel before, he also mentioned an unknown existence. After thinking it over, he felt that creating an Adam was the best option.

In this way, I can turn my cooperative relationship with Litoto into a subordinate one.

On the surface, he cooperates with Litoto, but secretly there is an Adam who controls all the time travelers.

He left Sora in the Shinigami world for the time being, so that Sora could get to know this world first.

He then took the opportunity to return to the pirate world.

After all, on the other side, Shiki estimated that he was almost at the Kingdom of Mogara.

He's already made those tough threats, so he's definitely going to have a fight with Roger.

For maritime overlords like them, once they make a promise, they have to actually do it; they can't just talk the talk but not walk the walk.

Especially for heroes like Shiki and Roger, it was even less likely that they would break their promises.

This is why the Navy immediately took action after Shiki made his tough statement.

If these conquerors with Conqueror's Haki don't even keep their word, what face do they have to live on the high seas?

But if a real fight breaks out, then there's a high probability that it will replicate the original content of the comic.

Either Shiki gets taken down by Roger, or the storm throws him off balance and the rudder gets stuck in his head.

Anyway, he had to go and help out; he had to get Shiki back safely no matter what.

He didn't care about the quality of his underlings, since most of them were just random recruits.

Anyway, he had already arranged everything for Shiki in the next generation.

When Beltz returned to the pirate world from the world of Bleach, Sengoku had not yet arrived.

He looked down at the sea of ​​fire beneath him, the intense flames even scorching him.

However, his defense far surpasses that of the sky, so of course, his attacks cannot harm him.

Thinking about it carefully, he did have a lot to do, so he couldn't pay attention to Sora in the Bleach world.

Instead of immediately transforming into a blue dragon and heading to the battlefield, he first returned to Marine Headquarters in human form, more discreetly.

The Navy Headquarters was in complete chaos. After all, even the Fleet Admiral had been killed, and they didn't even know what was going on inside!

At this time, Sengoku had not yet returned, and the entire Marine Headquarters was without anyone in charge!

Of course, Beltz didn't care how chaotic the Marine Headquarters was; he simply went back to the entrance to the Shadow World and entered it.

After walking a few dozen meters, he saw the experimental subjects he had brought in.

"It's you!"

Albert, shivering from the cold in the shadows, was overjoyed to see Beltz reappear and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Beltz had said that he was only temporarily keeping them in the shadows and would come to pick them up later, at that time Beltz was being hunted down by the Fleet Admiral!

If he dies, wouldn't all of them be trapped in the Shadow World forever?

They were incredibly excited to see Beltz finally back.

"I said I'd take you away, and I certainly won't go back on my word."

"I didn't have a chance to tell you before, but you can call me Beltz. I'll take you to a safe place. Come with me," Beltz said.

Beltz led everyone out of the Shadow Realm, and once outside, they finally saw the scene outside the laboratory.

When the real sunlight, the surging seawater, the salty air, and the free sea breeze rushed towards them, these prisoners who had been confined to the laboratory for many years almost shed tears, and some couldn't help but let out suppressed sobs and cheers!

They had only left one shadow before they had to enter another.

That was Beltz's own shadow!

Because he was going directly to the battlefield, if he moved at full speed, these physically weak experimental subjects probably wouldn't be able to withstand it.

Moreover, they would be in even greater danger once they reached the battlefield.

So it's safer to stay in his shadow.

There's not much stuff in his shadow right now, but putting these five people in it would almost feel full.

He felt that his shadow could now hold up to eight people.

He glanced one last time in the direction of the Marine Headquarters, then transformed into a blue dragon and flew towards the New World.

At this moment, in the new world, in the Mogara Sea.

As if sensing the impending showdown between kings, the world here had already changed color.

The once azure sky was swallowed up by thick, leaden-gray clouds, and the howling wind whipped up huge waves, making the vast sea look like a boiling cauldron.

The Euro Jackson was tossed and turned by the raging forces of nature, like a stubborn leaf on a tree swaying wildly in a storm!

"Captain! Did you see that?!"

The swordsman with a long, pointed nose and two small mustaches, also known as Mun, the tactical advisor of the Roger Pirates, was shown a newspaper to Roger by Isaac Jr.

"Hahaha!"

Roger seemed completely unaffected by the terrible weather, laughing loudly, "That guy Shiki's really going for it! With such a big fuss, it's impossible not to know!"

"If he makes such a big commotion and attracts the Navy, it'll be troublesome." Rayleigh sat to the side, also holding a newspaper in his hand. He calmly analyzed the details on the paper and said, "And it's not just the Navy; other pirates might also get involved."

"Roger, what do we do? Should we leave?" Jabba, the navigator, shouted, his voice almost drowning out the roar of the waves. "If we leave now, we should be able to avoid Shiki's fleet!"

"How could we possibly leave?!" Roger said with a smile. "Shiki has already declared war on us! If we leave now, where will the Roger Pirates' reputation be? Wouldn't we look like cowards!"

"The captain is right!"

"Let's show the Golden Lion how powerful we are!"

The others on Roger's ship also raised their weapons.

Shiki is infamous as one of the most vicious pirates of the time, but that doesn't frighten them.

Because they are the Roger Pirates, the freest pirate crew in the world, and there isn't a single coward on the entire ship!

"Prepare for battle!"

Roger drew Ace's blade, the edge flashing coldly in the dim light. He shouted, "Let Shiki know how powerful we are! Let him know that this sea isn't a place where numbers matter!"

"Ohhhhhh!!!"

The people on the boat shouted so loudly that it seemed to shake away the dark clouds in the sky, and the whole sea seemed to become more violent because of their shouts.

After learning that Shiki was coming, instead of fleeing, they continued to linger in the area.

This naval battle attracted a lot of people. Just as Jabba said, in addition to the navy, many pirates also wanted to come and see the world.

Although most of them were small-time pirates, quite a few pirates from the surrounding area had already sailed over.

However, they dared not get too close, for fear of being affected by Roger and Shiki's battle.

As more and more small boats appeared on the sea, the sky became even more gloomy!

Before, it was just a layer of dark clouds that dimmed the sunlight a little, but now it's as if we've suddenly fallen into darkness, or as if a huge monster has swallowed the sun whole!

"They're here!"

Roger, aboard the Euro Jackson, looked up at the sky!

On the distant edge of the sky, a massive aerial fleet appeared, consisting of dozens of large ships carrying thousands of people. They flew through the air, advancing in a vast and imposing manner, completely obscuring the view from above.

On the largest ship at the very front, Shiki stood alone at the bow, holding the famous swords Sakuragi and Kuju in his hands, one foot forward, and a cigar dangling from his mouth.

"Hehehehe!!! Roger! We meet again!"

Shiki's laughter was like a real thunderclap, piercing through the gale and waves, and clearly hitting the ears of everyone on the Euro Jackson!

"Be my right-hand man! If you and I join forces, we can conquer the whole world!"

"Shiki!" Roger, hearing this, also went to the bow of the ship, looked up at the sky, and shouted back, "The fun of being a pirate isn't in conquering, it's in freedom! Pirates are the freest people on the sea! I have no interest in being anyone's right-hand man!"

"So you're rejecting my offer, huh?!" Shiki's eyes suddenly turned dangerous and excited. "Then there's no way around it. I'm going to take you down today!"

"If you have the ability, then come at me!" Roger laughed heartily, his spirit soaring. "Since I set sail, countless people have said they wanted to kill me! But they are all gone now, while I still roam the high seas!"

"I assure you, this is the last time you'll hear such words!" Shiki commanded his air fleet to descend gradually, like a spear thrown by a god, plunging steadily into the surging sea and stirring up towering waves!

Shiki held two swords crossed in front of him, and his dozens of warships lined up to confront the lone Oro Jackson.

As he watched the distance between them close, his domineering aura surged within him like a volcano about to erupt.

"Come on, Roger! Today is our destined battle!"

boom!

He lunged forward instantly and swung his twin swords at Roger!

"I'll handle Shiki. Rayleigh, Jabba, take good care of the crew!"

Roger finished speaking with a smile, then suddenly leaped forward, jumping directly into the sky!

He doesn't have a Float-Float Fruit like Shiki, which allows him to fly, but he still jumped up!

boom!

Roger's sword was stained black, and the red and black lightning twisted and stretched. He gripped the sword with both hands and slashed down at Shiki with the force of splitting mountains and seas!

Shiki also unleashed Sakuragi and Kuju, the equally domineering dark red lightning wrapped around them roaring and shooting out into the air!

clang!!!!!!!

It wasn't the sound of metal clashing that came first, but rather the clash of two peak-level Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki, like two meteors, in mid-air!

*Snap!*

A massive and terrifying aura erupted instantly, and in that instant, the dark clouds that had been obscuring the sun were dispersed!

The sky splits!

At that moment, a huge crack appeared in the sky, and the long-awaited sunlight shone through it.

puff!

"Heh heh heh heh!" Shiki laughed loudly, looking at Roger, who was exchanging blows with him. "Still as powerful as ever!"

"You've improved a lot since you were on the Rocks ship!" Roger said as well. Compared to the original, Shiki is definitely stronger now.

Because he occupied Wano Country and had long possessed a large territory, this achievement increased his domineering aura.

Secondly, having Beltz and Kozuki Oden as his sparring partners prevented him from indulging in pleasure after returning to Wano Country.

In this situation, Shiki has now reached the peak of the original work!

Generally speaking, it will take another five or six years before he reaches his peak.

Now, compared to when he was on the Rocks ship, he is naturally much stronger!

Ultimately, the different positions of crew members and captains lead to different levels of individual ability!

The transition from crew member to captain is ostensibly a change in status, but in essence, it is also a change in power.

This might sound a bit strange, since the position has been promoted, how can the ability also be upgraded?

However, the crew members represent that they are still working for others, while the captain represents that he wants to become king and dominate. For pirates on the sea, this is essentially a completely different thing!

The overwhelming aura of rage officially announced the outbreak of this earth-shattering battle between the two sides!

"The two sides have already started fighting!"

Garp, who was rushing over here, was extremely anxious when he heard the message coming from the Den Den Mushi!

He now knew what had happened at the Marine Headquarters. He never expected that something would happen at the Marine Headquarters so soon!

But what worried him even more was what Sengoku said on the Den Den Mushi: Shiki was very likely in cahoots with Seiryu, who attacked Marine Headquarters!

This time, Shiki's move is a ploy to lure the enemy out of their hole and draw them away from their mountain, but it's not impossible that he might actually turn this into a real show!

One Shiki is already troublesome enough. If that Azure Dragon also comes to this sea area and joins the battle, then the Roger Pirates might also run into trouble!

At that time, the power on the sea will inevitably be unbalanced. Once Roger's pirate crew is defeated, Shiki's Flying Pirates will be unstoppable!

He will carry the momentum of a great victory, absorb villains from all over the world, and then become the next Rocks!

The Navy must not allow such a thing to happen!

"hurry up!"

Garp couldn't help but say, "At this rate, by the time you get there, the war will probably be over!"
