Pirate: I'm an admiral now, what's wrong with taking a little extra money?

"This is really... too reckless..." Rayleigh smiled bitterly. With just one move, he had put the two of them in such a sorry state.

The two looked up at the figure slowly descending from the sky.

Kane remained spotless, his pure white Justice Cloak swaying gently in the sea breeze.

He even had a satisfied smile on his face.

“Kid…” Roger struggled, trying to stand up straighter, but his legs wouldn’t give way. “What… what kind of monster are you?”

In just three short years.

That young man who could have been defeated with a single divine dodge in the Battle of Admiralty.

Now, they have grown to the point where even if the two of them join forces, they are powerless to fight back.

This rate of growth can no longer be described as "genius".

Kane walked up to them, and Tensa Zangetsu reflected a chilling light in the sunlight.

“I am not a monster, Mr. Roger.”

"I am just a... Navy officer who loves justice and is willing to give everything for it."

His voice was calm, yet it carried a sense of oppression that made both legends tremble.

Chapter 93 The End: The King's Curtain Falls

"Ha...haha...hahahaha!"

Amidst the ruins, Roger suddenly burst into a thunderous laugh.

He used his famous sword "Ace" to support himself on the ground. Even though his muscles were spasming and most of his ribs were probably broken, he still stubbornly straightened his spine little by little.

“Roger…” Rayleigh gritted his teeth, supporting Roger’s arm, his eyes filled with sorrow and determination.

"It's alright... Rayleigh, he won't die."

Roger casually wiped away the blood that was smearing his eyes, and his eyes, which were originally somewhat cloudy, now shone as if they were burning with the last of their life force.

He raised his head, staring intently at the figure slowly descending in mid-air, a wide grin spreading across his face.

"Navy brat... I don't know where you came from, you monster... and I don't care what kind of bullshit justice you're fighting for..."

"But I am Gol D. Roger!"

boom!!!

A dark red shockwave exploded outwards in a ring shape centered on Roger!

This is the Conqueror's Haki that stands atop this vast ocean!

The already vitrified ground around them cracked again, and the rubble floated up defying the laws of gravity before turning into dust under terrifying pressure.

"I still have things I need to do! How can I... collapse here?!"

Roger gripped the hilt of his sword tightly with both hands, and jet-black Armament Haki flowed around him like water, while dark red lightning danced wildly around him, crackling and popping.

At this moment, his aura surpassed that of any other moment in his life.

At this moment, he was no longer a patient suffering from a terminal illness.

He is the king of the sea, a legend who will usher in a new era!

"Rayleigh! It's the final blow!"

"Ah... I'll go crazy with you to the very end!" Rayleigh roared, squeezing out all the Haki within him, and the silver light on his longsword surged.

Looking down at the two plumes of flame, one red and one silver, shooting into the sky.

Kane's composure finally vanished.

Instead, there was an unprecedented seriousness, a supreme respect for the strong.

"amazing."

He exclaimed in genuine admiration.

"In response, I will also use my strongest strength to send you off."

Kane gripped the hilt of Tensa Zangetsu with both hands.

Om-!

He poured all of his Conqueror's Haki into it without reservation.

The destructive power of the Storm-Storm Fruit surged wildly into the blade.

A terrifying physique with a score of 90 provides an inexhaustible source of power!

And, the ultimate sword intent of a top-tier swordsman!

The characteristics of Tensa Zangetsu were brought to their fullest potential at this moment!

The pitch-black blade began to compress to its extreme, emitting a mournful cry of unbearable strain. The surrounding space twisted and collapsed as it could not withstand the force.

"bring it on!!!"

Roger roared from below, his legs slamming into the ground, causing the entire island's foundation to groan in despair!

He transformed into a streak of red and black lightning, soaring into the sky!

This strike had no technique involved, only pure, unadulterated power and will.

It is an absolute domineering force that will make everything in its way—whether human or god—give way!

Roger Pirates' divine skill—

"God—avoid!!!!"

At the same time, Rayleigh followed closely behind, his sword light like an inverted galaxy, blocking all of Kane's escape routes.

Faced with the desperate counterattack of these two strongest warriors of the era, Kane advanced instead of retreating.

The storm wings on his back suddenly contracted, then exploded with a roar, propelling him like a meteor as he plummeted toward Roger's blade!

The black blade in his hand slashed down.

Crescent Moon... Skyward Rush!!!

Thump—! ! ! !

The world has fallen silent.

There was no explosion, no clanging of metal.

Because all sound was annihilated the instant the two energies came into contact.

In that instant, only two beams of light remained in the world.

One was a domineering, dark red thunderbolt, and the other was a pure black, silent crescent moon.

They frantically eroded, devoured, and squeezed each other in mid-air!

Time seemed to stand still for three seconds.

Followed by.

Click.

A crisp cracking sound rang out.

On Roger's famous sword "Ace," which was wrapped in top-tier Haki, a tiny crack appeared in the layer of red and black lightning.

"what?!"

Roger's pupils suddenly shrank to the size of pinpoints; he was shocked beyond anything he had ever experienced.

His domineering aura... was suppressed?

It's not just about domineering presence, but also about strength, physique, and the immense, natural power that's like a catastrophe...

If he were in his prime, he might still be able to put up a fight.

But now, as Kane said, he is just a candle flickering in the wind.

"Times have changed, Mr. Roger."

Kane's icy voice flowed through the violent energy.

The next second, the pure black crescent-shaped beam of light, though slightly dimmed, still maintained its complete form and continued to fly toward Roger and Rayleigh with unstoppable force!

There was no time to think.

The shadow of death has already loomed over them.

Roger!

Rayleigh roared and instantly stood in front of Roger.

Roger also realized what was happening and held Ace Blade horizontally in front of his chest.

At this moment, the two legends focused all their power on defense!

Rumble rumble rumble rumble ——————！！！！！

The long-awaited explosion finally resounded through the sky.

The terrifying shockwave transformed into a visible white halo, instantly sweeping across everything within a ten-nautical-mile radius!

The already dilapidated island was completely disintegrated by this force, turning into countless pebbles that sank into the sea.

On the sea surface, the seawater was pressed into a giant depression hundreds of meters deep, which has been unable to be filled for a long time.

……

for a long time.

The storm subsided and the smoke cleared.

Where the small island once stood, now only a small rock of less than 100 square meters remains, standing alone on the sea.

Roger and Rayleigh lay sprawled on the rocks, their bodies covered in blood, which stained the rocks beneath them.

Roger's famous sword "Ace" lay beside him, its blade trembling slightly and emitting mournful cries.

Kane landed on the ruins, his chest heaving violently, his Zanpakuto still slightly warm in his hand.
