One Piece: We already have the Four Gods, so my Six Paths Sage is reasonable, right?

"Ron, this is just a personal matter between you and me. Why involve others?"

Roger felt he should give it a shot; if he lost this battle, it would implicate the other members of the Roger Pirates.

Ron couldn't help but chuckle softly, saying indifferently, "I can do whatever I want. If you don't like it, you're welcome to go and kill the Rocks Pirates. Of course... provided you can actually do it."

Roger remained silent, but from Ron's words alone, he knew that he couldn't persuade Ron not to involve the other members of the Roger Pirates.

In this way... Roger only had one choice left.

Even in the worst-case scenario... I'll die together with Ron.

"Rumble~~~~"

Just then, dark clouds were rapidly rolling towards the horizon at a speed visible to the naked eye, pressing down lower and lower, turning the entire sky into a dark gray-black.

Lightning flashed intermittently among the clouds, and thunder rumbled continuously.

"Sizzle~~~"

"Sizzle~~~"

In a certain area of ​​God Valley, lightning struck straight down.

It crashed to the ground and exploded in a dazzling white light.

The next instant, an enormous five-pointed star formation shot into the sky.

"Im???"

Ron stared at the direction of the pentagram magic circle, muttered something under his breath, and his expression suddenly changed.

The last time Im descended, it was in the same way.

"Kaido, change direction." Ron spoke faster. "Rocks is most likely there."

As for Roger, he's too busy to bother with him right now.

"it is good."

Kaido didn't hesitate; he twisted his dragon body and changed direction.

But just as he was about to act, Roger stretched out his arm, the white arm drawing a long arc in the air, extending as if without limit. He reached out to grab Kaido's dragon tail.

"Kaido, hold them off for a bit. I need to take care of things over there."

Ron decisively jumped off Kaido's back, and as he spoke, he sprinted through the air towards the location where Im had descended.

After Roger caught Kaido, he simply tossed him aside and then chased after Ron.

"Ron, doesn't this scene look familiar?"

Roger's voice caught up from behind, tinged with amusement, and continued, "Were you in the exact same situation as me when we were rushing to Amazon Lily?"

Ron's gaze darkened slightly, but suddenly, he slowed down.

It stopped in mid-air.

Because... he sensed that the aura that was descending was different from before.

The oppressive aura is much weaker than when Im descended.

Therefore, the only plausible explanation is that it wasn't Im who descended, but rather the Five Elders, or... other members of the Knights of God.

Seeing Ron stop, Roger stopped as well, a smile on his face. "Why aren't you running anymore, Ron?" he asked.

"Heat Breath~~~"

Kaido caught up from behind.

He opened his mouth and sprayed a hot breath at the white figure in front of him.

Flames erupted from the dragon's mouth, carrying a scorching wave of air that hurtled towards Roger.

Roger effortlessly stretched his body out of control and then grabbed at the incoming flames.

The moment his palm touched the flame, the nature of the flame changed, transforming from a scorching tongue of fire into a rubber-like substance that he held in his palm.

Kaido: "????"

Then, Roger seized the hot breath and threw it directly at Ron.

The rubberized flame flew rapidly toward Ron.

Ron did not dodge. A giant chakra arm immediately extended from his left shoulder, caught the incoming heat breath, and then flung it into the air.

The ball of fire was thrown high into the sky, flying aimlessly.

"Kaido, go and support Rocks," Ron said expressionlessly.

"Ron, I'll stay and help you," Kaido said.

"Go help Rocks. Remember what I said before: rescue him and run. Don't linger in the fight," Ron repeated.

Kaido hesitated for a moment.

He felt that Ron's expression was somewhat sinister.

That expressionless face is more unsettling than anger.

"Okay, I'll be right back."

Without much hesitation, Kaido made his decision and flew quickly toward the area where the pentagram magic circle had risen earlier.

The dragon's body drew a blue arc in the air before quickly disappearing from sight.

Roger looked at Ron and said with a relaxed expression, "This doesn't feel good, does it? You didn't expect that when you were doing this, you, Ron, would have this day, did you?"

"Hehehehe~~~"

"Hehehehehehe~~~"

Ron was expressionless one second, but the next second he burst into maniacal laughter.

Moreover, the louder they laughed, the better.

"You're dead, Roger. Not a single member of the Roger Pirates will survive. No one can stop us," Ron said coldly.

As he spoke, he glanced around.

"You couldn't have come alone, could you? Let me see where your companions are. I'm going to crush their heads one by one right in front of you."

After hearing Ron's words, Roger's expression could no longer be relaxed.

His smile vanished, and his eyes turned icy cold: "You're a complete madman."

Ron grinned. "Well said. I'll show you soon enough what it means to truly deserve it."

Almost instantly, Ron activated the Eight Gates and entered the seventh gate.

Blue steam burst from his body, intertwining with golden chakra to form a flowing light around him.

As for the Eighth Gate, there was a fleeting moment just now when Ron did indeed consider using it against Roger.

After all, he has so many buffs, he's not like Kai from the original work.

At most, he'll suffer some internal injuries and need to recuperate for a while.
