Robin's pupils instantly contracted to the size of pinpricks.
How could this be? How could this happen?
Why was this person here?
Robin found it completely incomprehensible.
Only the highest echelons of the Revolutionary Army should know she was here!
Did this person have a mole within the Revolutionary Army?
But that didn't make sense. If there was a mole in the Revolutionary Army's high command, how could the Revolutionary Army still be continuously launching uprisings in the North Blue?
They should have been wiped out by the Calamity Company long ago!
She was not the only one deeply shocked.
The Revolutionary Army soldier holding the lunch box, his slightly flushed cheeks suddenly turned deathly pale. He nearly collapsed onto the ground, screaming in utter terror.
He screamed the name of the newcomer:
"Roa!!!"
The master of half the world, the monster who brought disaster and calamity to the world, the King of Calamity, Roa, had arrived!
Roa walked out of the air-door with a cheerful smile, holding Hancock's hand with his right.
"You're surprised too, aren't you, Robin? I didn't expect to find you this easily either. Haha, perhaps, this is what they call fate drawing two people together?"
"Run! Robin! Run!"
Hancock was screaming at the top of her lungs, "The Revolutionary Army are his people! You've been walking into a trap from the very beginning!!"
"...Hancock?"
Robin's mind was shaken violently again. Before she could recover from the shock of Roa's sudden appearance, Hancock's words delivered another enormous shock.
What was Hancock saying?
She said the Revolutionary Army were Roa's people!
What on earth was going on?
"That's why I said it's a surprise."
Roa said with a light chuckle, "Actually, the Revolutionary Army was founded with my investment from the very start."
"Over the past two decades, the development of the Revolutionary Army has been inseparable from the Calamity Company. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that half of the Revolutionary Army belongs to me."
"It's just that Dragon was a bit too rebellious. A little over a year ago, he took the cadres he trusted and broke away from the Revolutionary Army to establish his own faction. So, the original Revolutionary Army naturally all fell under my control."
"..."
Robin felt as if she had been struck by a heavy punch, staggering back two steps. Her exquisite face was now only an unbelievable shade of pale.
How, how could this be?
The original Revolutionary Army was actually Roa's subordinate force. She had completely delivered herself right into his hands!
"No! Impossible!!"
The Revolutionary Army soldier, who had been terrified by Roa's appearance, suddenly screamed, "The Revolutionary Army is an army fighting for the people! We are constantly launching uprisings and fighting against you!!"
"How could we be subordinates of a monster like you!"
"Of course, because the command to oppose the Calamity Company was also given by me."
Roa spoke with a smiling face, elaborating, "I, personally, enjoy watching others suffer."
"But if it's just suffering, people become numb, and that's no fun, is it?"
Roa looked at the Revolutionary Army soldier with approval, "Therefore, this sea needs hope. It needs a group of people who can awaken the numb populace, encouraging them to muster the courage to dream of a better future!"
"Revolutionary Army, you all did a fine job."
"No! No! Impossible! Impossible!!"
The man was now screaming like a madman, shaking his head frantically, "How could this happen? Even a lunatic like you wouldn't waste your own forces for such a nonsensical reason!"
"What are you talking about! What do you mean waste my own forces?"
Roa spoke in a tone that suggested the man was utterly clueless, "The suffering released by my subordinates when they died also pleased me."
"They died for a worthy cause. I forbid you from insulting them."
"..."
At this moment, the three people other than Roa fell into silence.
"Lunatic!! Lunatic!!"
The Revolutionary Army soldier screamed hysterically, completely losing his mind, "How could there be a lunatic like you in this world!!"
"Ah!!!"
He shrieked in terror, scrambling and crawling away.
His conviction had been completely shattered. He was now nothing more than a walking corpse.
"Oh, he looks like a dog."
Roa watched his collapsing figure, sighing with a touch of melancholy.
Then.
Boom.
The ground beneath the man's feet abruptly exploded. Molten lava erupted, instantly engulfing him.
"Well, you won't find many people in the world who were directly blasted by a volcano,"
Roa nodded contentedly, "Although the sin of fancying Robin is punishable by death, I'll give you this spectacular way to die, considering the contribution you made to me."
"Roa!!!!"
Even Robin, who had always been quite reserved under Olvia's tutelage since childhood, had her features twisted by rage.
A furious wave of Conqueror's Haki surged out at that moment, so intense that the ground beneath Roa's feet began to crack.
"Bad girl, are you angry for that man?"
Roa's expression was serious, "That won't do, Robin. You are a very important item in my collection. Both your body and your mind must remain pure."
"Only I can NTR others. How can others NTR me?"
"Die! You scumbag!!"
The ground beneath her feet shattered instantly, and Robin unhesitatingly launched a flying kick toward Roa.
Robin, having lived on Amazon Lily since childhood, was as ignorant about romance and affection as Hancock.
She naturally didn't understand the magnitude of her appeal—descending like a goddess, saving everyone from danger, and possessing peerless beauty—to that simple Revolutionary Army soldier.
She was the very definition of a 'White Moonlight' crush.
At this moment, Robin was simply furious at Roa's atrocities.
This monster, merely for such a bizarre reason, continuously manipulated the Revolutionary Army to provoke wars, causing countless common people to lose their lives and shattering countless families!!
The low-level Revolutionary Army members, like that soldier, still believed they were fighting for the people, fighting to make the world a better place!
Roa!!
How much further do you intend to fool people before you stop?!
Damn you!!
Only a person like you must die!!
As Robin flew in with her kick, Hancock, whose hand was still gripped by Roa, gritted her teeth fiercely, also leaping into the air and lashing out a kick at Roa.
It had come to this point. The only thing she could do was accompany her sister-in-arms in a fight to the death!
"Whoa!"
Roa, however, merely closed his eyes in ecstasy, "This pain, this black aura. I give it a ten out of ten."
Bang! Bang!
Two equally long and straight beautiful legs slammed against the air.
But in that instant, the air rippled.
"What?"
Robin's expression changed.
Her strike seemed to have kicked something soft yet incredibly tough. All her power was unleashed, yet she couldn't advance an inch further!
"Be careful! Robin!!"
Hancock, however, knew what it was. She cried out in alarm, "This guy's Haki has been cultivated to an inhuman level!"
She had contributed to him reaching this level.
After all, she wanted to kill Roa more than anyone, so she was more serious than anyone when training with him.
Haki?
Robin's eyes widened.
Invisible, fluid-like Haki began to wrap around her body.
In the process, it gradually revealed a dark, inky color, coiling around her body like snakes, restraining her tightly.
If it had only gone this far, the Haki would not have been much different from what Roa displayed on Amazon Lily over a year ago.
But, of course, it couldn't stop there.
The dark Haki constantly writhed, then slowly vanished from the surface of the two women's bodies. Finally, not a single trace remained.
"Agh!!"
Robin's body trembled violently, "How is this possible!!"
It was true that Armament Haki could be used for internal destruction, driving Haki into the enemy's body to cause damage.
But this was completely different from the Haki Roa was now demonstrating!
Roa's Haki completely infiltrated her body, yet it didn't cause her any damage. Instead, the Haki scattered throughout her body as if it possessed a life of its own.
"Willpower. It's fascinating, isn't it?"
Roa said with a light laugh, "In the past, I used my willpower to control Haki, allowing it to easily solidify into forms."
"Now, Haki and willpower are fused more tightly. I can use Haki as a medium to inject my own willpower into your bodies."
"The result is—"
Roa gently snapped his fingers.
The two incredibly beautiful women then simultaneously leaned toward Roa, each leaving a light kiss on his cheeks.
"It's very interesting, isn't it?"
Roa was content. He reached out and encircled their waists, "Although it doesn't work much on slightly stronger people, as even I can't inject too much Haki into others in a short time. If your Haki is strong enough, you can resist it."
"But for your level, it seems you're still lacking a bit."
"Roa!!"
Robin desperately mobilized the Haki within her body.
But unfortunately, just as Roa said, she still couldn't shake off the Haki that Roa had injected into her.
How could this monster be so powerful?
She didn't have the slightest power to fight back against him!
This made no sense! This scoundrel wasn't a special race, and his ability wasn't one of those Devil Fruits named after gods in history. How could he possibly be this strong?!
"Robin!!"
At this moment, Hancock screamed, "Did you come alone?"
That's right!
Robin suddenly paused. She abruptly looked up, "Níðhöggr!!"
A roar instantly shot into the sky.
Strictly speaking, even while roaring so fiercely, Robin's face remained delicate and beautiful.
And the sound could hardly be described as very loud.
But.
"Aung!!!"
A thunderous roar suddenly came from the sky.
"Oh! Has it finally arrived!"
Roa looked up, "Then come! Let me see how much I've grown after more than a year of training!"
In the past, every time he emerged from seclusion and returned to the sea, Big Brother Kaido would accompany him in a battle to test his results.
Now, the only person in the world qualified to help him test his results was Imu.
And this behemoth before him.
In the sky, a giant black dragon with a wingspan of nearly five hundred meters swooped down!
Its roar alone shattered the sky, and the air spread out in circles of shockwaves.
"Oho?"
Roa raised an eyebrow, "Has it grown this much in just over a year?"
When he saw this dragon on Amazon Lily more than a year ago, its wingspan was only around two to three hundred meters. Now, it had nearly doubled!
Teenagers really grow fast!
But this aura!
"Isn't this a little exaggerated?"
Roa twitched the corner of his mouth.
It was so much stronger than it was a year ago.
No way, I'm the cheat, so my rate of growth shouldn't be slower than this native creature, right?
"Aung!!"
Amidst the roar, the giant beast had fallen, and its massive claw reached out directly towards Roa.
But in the very next instant, when the giant beast's scarlet eyes noticed Robin embraced in Roa's arms, its movement abruptly froze.
"Don't mind me, Níðhöggr!"
Robin keenly sensed this, and she screamed again, "Fight!!"
If Níðhöggr was also held back by fear, everything would be over!
"Aung!!"
At the same time, the black dragon roared, and its huge claw swung towards Roa again.
"Hoho."
Roa raised the corner of his mouth, "A beast is indeed more decisive than a human."
He embraced the two women a little tighter, injecting more Haki into their bodies.
Mhm, this way they shouldn't be able to break free for several tens of minutes.
Well, then let the games begin.
He casually grabbed the two women and tossed them backward. Just at that moment, an air-door opened, and the two women, completely unable to control their bodies, flew straight through.
Click.
The air-door closed.
Immediately, Roa's body began to swell.
Dark fur condensed into heavy exoskeleton armor, sharp horns abruptly pointed skyward, and dark wings gave a sudden shake. Roa, now over seven meters tall, instantly launched into the air.
At that moment, semi-transparent dark air currents jetted from his body, propelling him upwards like a thruster.
Z Fighter, Roa has entered the fray!
With the added boost of the surging Haki, Roa's speed was even faster than that of the black dragon!
In an instant, he easily avoided the behemoth's descending claw.
Then.
"Kamehameha!!"
Roa suddenly pushed his hands forward. A thick black beam of light shot out, heavily impacting the black dragon's chin.
"Aung!!"
Even the thick-skinned Dragon of the End cried out in pain from Roa's single attack, its enormous body pushed upwards.
"Hahahaha! Prince's Technique!!"
Roa laughed heartily, continuously pushing his hands forward. Beams of black light shot out like a downpour.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
The air let out a series of sharp bursts.
When these black light beams landed on the black giant dragon, fierce explosions erupted one after another.
The battle had officially begun.
