Chapter 84 - [BONUS 4] Roger’s True Power

Looking out, the sea converged with the sky at the horizon.

Such a distance was naturally very far, and even the eyesight of top-tier powerhouses would find it difficult to observe at this range.

Kenji wasn't seeing the black dot, smaller than an ant, on the distant horizon with his normal eyes.

He was discerning the identity of the approaching party through his Observation Haki's Future Vision ability.

"This is truly…" Kenji was completely speechless now.

He just said it casually, and he actually came?

He also brought the entire crew, all of them, together.

"Don't you guys ever take a break?"

"Oh, right, you guys are on vacation every day."

Kenji noticed that the Roger Pirates were even fully armed.

A Legendary Pirate Crew moving out together—this lineup could cut its way from the Grand Line all the way to the New World.

And right now, looking at their route, it didn't seem like they were just passing by. They were clearly heading for Samo Island, their ship's bow pointed directly this way.

Kenji looked left and right. On Samo Island, the only one worth the Roger Pirates' attention seemed to be himself?

"Hmm, and that Patrick kid!"

"Could this matter have something to do with Patrick ?"

Patrick had just run over, and the Roger Pirates followed right behind him.

From the way the events unfolded… how could that Patrick kid be unrelated?

"Even if it really has nothing to do with him, he at least brought bad luck."

Kenji looked at Patrick, who had just emerged from the sea in the distance, and his fists clenched again.

"That unlucky kid!"

Fortunately, Patrick was far away and couldn't hear Kenji's words. Otherwise he would probably be so depressed he'd vomit blood again.

He was already in his thirties or forties, yet he was still being lectured like a greenhorn. No one had dared to lecture him like that since he became famous.

However, even without hearing those depressing words, Patrick was feeling very unwell at this moment.

The overbearing punch still made his body tingle, and the blood from the corner of his mouth hadn't stopped flowing.

But Patrick's physique was quite good, or rather, the physiques of the world's top powerhouses were all quite good.

The first lesson in fighting, so to speak, is to learn how to take a beating.

These first-rate powerhouses, putting aside everything else, their physiques were indeed excellent. Each and every one of them could take a beating.

Of course, it's also possible that those who couldn't take a beating were eliminated.

At this time, Patrick was completely soaked in seawater. He was not a Devil Fruit user, so he wasn't much affected.

He first looked at Kenji on the distant island's shore, then seemed to sense something, and turned his head to look at the far horizon.

"That is…"

After Patrick spotted the black dot on the horizon, he excitedly burst out of the water, looking from a higher vantage point.

"It really is him!"

"Have you finally arrived?!"

The Oro Jackson was extremely fast, and in a short time, it had already approached within ten nautical miles of Samo Island.

At this distance, Patrick and Kenji, who were near the coast, could clearly see everyone on the pirate ship.

In fact, with their eyesight, they could even clearly see the expressions on the faces of the people on the pirate ship.

"Heh heh! I've finally been waiting for you, Roger!"

Patrick 's face showed excitement, and at the same time, he stepped on the air, running through the air towards the Oro Jackson.

On the shore, Kenji saw Patrick's excited expression and could basically confirm his guess.

"It really was that blood-clothed kid's doing!"

He narrowed his eyes, watching Patrick rapidly run through the air towards the Roger Pirates in the distance, almost laughing in anger.

"Is he using me as a stepping stone?"

"Don't be too arrogant, kid!"

The next moment, Kenji shook his fist, and traces of Haki stirred, black lightning swirling around his fist.

Just then, a system prompt suddenly appeared in his vision.

[After more than a month, you once again encounter the Legendary Pirate - Roger Pirates! In the midst of an intense battlefield, you don't have time to report to Marineford and decide to act according to the situation!]

[Mission (Side): Successfully retreat or survive until Marineford's highest combat power arrives as support!]

[Reward: Upgrade a random owned trait 3 times!]

"Successfully retreat? Hmm, this mission's difficulty isn't too high." Kenji glanced at the system mission content.

He didn't find any additional conditions like 'troop losses not exceeding half' from the last time.

Similar to the last encounter with Golden Lion and Whitebeard, it was still a survival mission.

As long as he successfully retreated, he would receive a considerable reward. However, Kenji didn't want to retreat now.

"As an Admiral, directly retreating upon encountering a Legendary Pirate isn't quite appropriate. Besides…"

"I haven't beaten that blood-clothed kid yet!"

Unless he thoroughly thrashed Patrick, Kenji wouldn't feel at ease.

At the same time, on the distant sea, the Oro Jackson continued to sail at high speed.

Roger was at the forefront, standing at the bow, and upon seeing Kenji on the distant island shore, he had already grinned, showing his white teeth, and started to laugh.

Beside him, First Mate Silvers Rayleigh noticed Patrick rapidly charging from the distant sky. He raised his head, adjusted his glasses, and his right hand silently rested on his sword hilt.

Behind them, the Roger Pirates veteran Scopper Gaban was loudly scolding the few newcomers who had just joined the ship.

"Hey! What's wrong with you brats?"

"That person opposite is an Admiral! All of you, be alert! Don't disgrace us at a time like this!"

Past the cowering newcomers, on both sides of the ship, the Roger Pirates combatants were in position, adjusting the cannons.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Roger!"

In mid-air, Patrick couldn't wait for the pirate ship to truly approach. He violently swung his umbrella sword, launching a slash.

Tear!

The air was torn like cloth.

As the sound of tearing cloth rang out, a giant crescent-shaped slash cut through everything, heading straight for the Oro Jackson in the distance below.

If one observed carefully, they would find that the true target of the slash was only Roger at the bow, while everyone else on the ship and the entire ship itself were merely affected.

"Hahahaha! In just a few days, your strength has advanced by leaps and bounds!" Roger suddenly burst into laughter, but he wasn't talking to Patrick.

From beginning to end, Roger's gaze was fixed only on Kenji on the distant island shore.

"Since that's the case, I must give a proper greeting!"

The next moment, Roger drew his cherished weapon—the Supreme Grade cutlass 'Ace' and instantly, an overbearing aura surged, with lightning-like Haki traces exploding.

The true power of a Legendary Pirate was fully revealed at this moment.
