Chapter 200: You Seem a Bit Panicked, Little Brother?
On Mont Blanc Island, battle and wailing continued.
"Mama! Mama! Hurts—hurts so much!"
"Mama said someone would come to help Weevil, where are you Mama? Weevil hurts..."
On Edward Weevil's ugly face, snot flowed from his nose, tears uncontrollable, and his wailing became increasingly fierce.
Now, his body looked extremely terrifying.
Blood oozed from everywhere; crushed organ pieces were spat out with blood during wailing.
His bulky body had piercing marks everywhere.
"Still the same as the past... this exaggerated vitality."
At this moment, Zephyr, causing these injuries, panted deeply.
He took out his asthma medicine again, inhaling, looking at Weevil coldly.
Yes, Zephyr knew well.
Even among monsters, Weevil was special.
His body was strong; innate muscle strength and unknown martial arts made him stronger than most pirates.
This physique, martial arts, and posture often reminded Zephyr of young 'Whitebeard'.
Whitebeard before eating the Quake-Quake Fruit, not at his peak yet—back then, Whitebeard was known for his innate monster-like physique, powerful martial arts, and Haki.
But this wasn't important.
Even with such physique and strength, Zephyr's power was still above Weevil's.
Whether four years ago or today.
Four years ago, Zephyr's training ship suffered that fate only because of the vitality Weevil displayed now.
Calling it vitality wasn't even accurate—because Weevil's recovery wasn't outstanding; he was just tough.
Or rather...
This guy didn't look like a 'Living Creature'.
Even with shattered organs and pierced body, he just wailed 'hurts' and continued fighting.
Back then, relying on this terrifying vitality, he survived Zephyr's onslaught until Zephyr's asthma attacked, cutting off Zephyr's arm.
Now this guy's vitality seemed improved—Zephyr even doubted if he could be killed.
"But... speaking of which, surroundings are quieter than imagined."
Finishing the asthma medicine and tossing it aside, Zephyr thought.
According to his estimate, surrounding Marines and kingdom troops should have come to stop him, Ain and Binz should be engaging them.
But fact was... no.
The entire island was calm.
"..."
In this moment, Zephyr instinctively had a feeling.
He suddenly thought of his disciple.
"Roy..."
He murmured.
"You are the hope of this era's sea—don't go to the abyss with this old man, silly boy."
At the same time, on another sea.
"You ask me to cooperate with your 'Work'?"
Saint Thatcherz M. Pierre gritted his teeth.
His anger seemed never-ending.
He looked at Roy: "Speaking of which, that fool said you are 'Kuroyagi' (Black Goat)—thinking carefully, I seem to have heard of you."
"My servant told me mortals recently regard a Marine as the 'Hope of the New Era'."
His words were full of disdain.
As a God's Knight, he wouldn't even care about Marines.
As for 'Hope', just a boring joke.
However...
"You guy, indeed different from intel."
His gaze scanned the silent warships around, tone gloomy.
He recognized the power Roy used just now.
Or rather—all God's Knights knew that power naturally.
Conqueror's Haki... disgusting term.
But the problem was, his intel didn't mention 'Kuroyagi' Roy awakening Conqueror's Haki—in fact, few Marines awakened it.
"Just awakened? His use was indeed rough just now."
Saint Pierre muttered internally.
Yes.
Although Roy's Conqueror's Haki flashed briefly.
He could confirm—Roy's use wasn't profound, just the simplest 'Conqueror's Projection'.
But here lay the problem.
"Just awakened Conqueror's Haki... strong to that extent?"
Pierre could feel the power surging on him now.
That power originated from his left arm, from the mark on it—just now, Roy's Conqueror's intensity even alarmed it.
And that oppression just now, even distorting sky and sea...
"Emperor-level Conqueror's intensity?"
So...
"What a joke!"
He seemed angrier.
Click!
Cutting sounds inside his strange armor intensified.
"A mere lower-world Marine... dreaming of becoming a king!"
Words fell.
He raised his hand.
Bang!
Shriek sounded.
The attack turning Klaymiller into blood mist appeared again.
In this instant, Roy activated his ability without hesitation.
[Hado Fist · Immovable Body]
VMMM!
Golden fluctuations surged instantly, flowing outside his body.
But...
"Hm!?"
Next moment, Roy's expression changed slightly.
Because he felt—the fluctuations he emitted became somewhat uncontrollable.
So...
"[Fruit Enhancement · Five Senses Enhancement]!"
Roy activated enhancement instantly, capturing the incoming attack in a flash.
It seemed to be a white object.
It already hit the fluctuations around Roy—fast as the 'Rumble-Rumble Fruit' and 'Glint-Glint Fruit' in Roy's cognition. Even with enhancement, he couldn't capture its specific form.
"That is..."
Roy was puzzled.
BOOM!
In this brief thought, Roy found the fluctuations around him blasting back at him!
"!!!"
Even Roy was surprised.
But he reacted fast, waving his hand immediately.
Behind him, the Black Loyalty heading to Mont Blanc Island was lifted by Roy the next moment.
"Chief!?" (x2)
On the deck, Hans and Pharrel looked back surprised.
Then, they saw an incredible scene.
On the sea where they were just now, Roy's reversed fluctuations blasted back, raising a huge tsunami.
Meanwhile, from the tsunami.
That unknown white projectile, like the attack on Klaymiller before, pierced the tsunami and sea surface directly.
A black 'Hole' appeared on the sea again, smoothed over moments later.
Hans and Pharrel widened their eyes in shock.
They naturally didn't know God's Knights, originally ignoring that Celestial Dragon—after all, Celestial Dragons were synonymous with 'Trash' to most people.
But the current situation proved.
Although this Celestial Dragon was still 'Trash'.
He was undoubtedly a very strong 'Trash'.
However, moments later...
VMMM!
Intense golden fluctuations erupted again, shattering the surging tsunami.
From falling seawater, Roy's figure reappeared.
"Oh?"
The God's Knight named Saint Pierre sneered. "Actually took my 'God-Killing Spear'? You lower-world species are not bad..."
He said.
But...
"Third warning invalid, looks like Lord Celestial Dragon refused my reasonable mission request."
Roy clearly didn't intend to communicate, interrupting him directly.
"According to Marine mission execution regulations—I have the right to counterattack those obstructing the mission."
He said to himself, then...
BOOM!
Punch!
Next moment, fluctuations surrounded by fire and ice blasted out.
Waves of the entire sea were frozen then burned evaporated instantly. Intense steam erupted; terrifying destructive power caved the sea surface instantly, heading straight for the massive hull of 'North Blue Cross Star'.
"Dare to attack me?"
Saint Pierre sneered.
But he didn't dodge.
On the contrary, red smoke spewing from his armor hollows began to flow—wrapping him like flame clouds.
"But... meaningless!"
BOOM!
As two Hado Fists approached, they reversed direction instantly like before.
Moments later, they headed back at Roy!
Reversed Hado Fists seemed faster and stronger!
"Impossible!"
Hans on the Black Loyalty widened his eyes seeing this.
"Reflected Chief's Hado Fist again..."
"What ability is that guy?"
While Hans exclaimed.
"Oh?"
Roy narrowed his eyes, looking at the 'Red Smoke' around Saint Pierre.
A guess flashed in his eyes.
VMMM!
Fluctuations rose in his hand again.
He punched again.
BOOM!
Double fists collided with reversed fluctuations.
Fire clashed with fire, ice bit ice.
Finally, they canceled each other out.
"Useless, lower-world species."
Saint Pierre's arrogant voice sounded again.
"As a mortal, your power is indeed good, but not worth mentioning before me."
"My ability, my bloodline... my everything is above you."
He said proudly. "So crawl at my feet. If so, I might spare your life, barely let you be my slave..."
He said with some expectation.
Making such a strong Conqueror's Haki user submit, even becoming his blade—even for a God's Knight, this was worth showing off.
But speaking here, he paused.
Because now, Roy raised his hand.
He extended index finger and thumb, making a gun gesture.
From his index finger...
VMMM!
Fluctuations gathered and compressed constantly.
[Hado Fist · Spirit Gun Bullet]
Seeing this, Saint Pierre sneered. "Idiot—still don't understand? The gap between us."
"Any attack of yours is ineffective against me... I can reflect double back to you!"
Speaking, red smoke spread from hollows again, wrapping him.
"My ability is invincible!"
He said proudly.
But just as this sentence was spoken, his expression changed abruptly.
Because in this instant...
He clearly saw Roy's thumb bend slightly.
Zzt! Zzt!
From his index finger.
Black-red Conqueror's lightning flowed on it.
Like before—under intense Haki, the whole sea and sky seemed to distort.
"That is..."
Saint Pierre's pupils shrank instantly.
His movement changed for the first time.
Almost instinctively raising his arm, red smoke around him became more intense.
But...
Moments later, he found with astonishment.
The 'Bullet' in Roy's hand shattered and disintegrated in an instant.
Conqueror's lightning dissipated silently.
"Failed... indeed 'Infusion' isn't that simple."
Roy glanced at his finger, muttering.
Then, he looked at stunned Saint Pierre.
"However, Lord Celestial Dragon chatting endlessly there."
Roy's mouth pulled a slightly mocking smile.
"If I'm not mistaken, just now... You seemed a bit panicked?"
"You insect..."
Hearing this, Saint Pierre gritted his teeth, eyes turning red.
His armor emitted 'Click click' sounds again, unprecedentedly intense.
"How dare you—humiliate me like this!?"
