Beneath the suffocating night sky.
The clash of auras between Roger and Jin-an continued.
Like two sharp swords gleaming brilliantly under the moonlight.
The tranquility of this moment.
Was the final omen before the storm, their auras locked in a fierce battle, unwilling to yield.
A sovereign's arrival, deities step aside.
At this critical moment, Roger and Jin-an unleashed their power almost simultaneously, the dormant strength within their bodies fully awakened at this moment.
This was their ultimate display of Conqueror's Haki.
Both were able to wield this supreme power that transcends the world of pirates.
Two forces collided in the night sky, releasing a dazzling light.
“Boom!!!”
As if the sky had shattered, a soul-stirring echo reverberated across this tranquil sea.
Roger and Jin-an unleashed a decisive blow.
This strike not only surpassed the heavens and the seas but also engraved their wills upon this ocean.
The entire sea shattered instantly before their power.
The whole world trembled before their wills.
Those who ventured into the sea, seeking the Pirate King's throne, seemed insignificant in the face of this power, their dreams and ambitions now appearing as childish fantasies.
Only Haki could reign supreme in this sea, becoming the true king.
The sea beneath them exploded violently under the influence of Conqueror's black lightning.
The intense impact, like the descent of divine wrath, blasted all creatures within the sea into the air.
Seawater evaporated, the air vibrated, and the entire sea was transformed in that instant.
In that breathtaking moment, the powers of Roger and Jin-an collided fiercely, like the impact of two stars, emitting dazzling light.
The battle between the two had reached its peak, each clash filled with deadly aesthetics.
However, the scales of fate seemed to tip in favor of Roger.
In this decisive blow, Roger shattered Jin-an's blade light with his unfathomable Haki, turning it into countless rays of light that dissipated in the air.
Subsequently, Roger's blade, filled with unparalleled power and will, descended like a heaven-splitting thunderbolt, crashing down.
Under Roger's attack, which threatened to tear the world apart, Jin-an finally lost his balance.
His body, like a shooting star, was ruthlessly propelled towards the deep sea.
At that moment, even time seemed to freeze, all eyes focused on the falling Jin-an.
‘Clang!!’
A loud noise, like the alarm bell of the divine realm, resonated in the hearts of every spectator.
Roger's strike not only sent Jin-an flying but also, with supreme Haki, cleaved the sea, creating a deep rift.
The seawater parted at that instant, revealing the seabed, those secrets usually beyond reach, all exposed in broad daylight.
“Bang!!!”
Jin-an, maintaining a defensive posture, crashed into the seabed, emitting a muffled sound.
The surrounding silt was impacted by this force, forming a massive vortex, gradually enveloping his figure, as if to trap him forever in this lightless deep sea.
Roger stood on the sea, gazing at the huge crack formed by their fierce battle.
“Hahahaha!!!”
His laughter echoed across the empty sea.
Although the battle had reached this point, Roger's heart was filled with undiminished fighting spirit, a kind of entrustment that transcended victory or defeat.
Looking at the deep pit created by the blow, a rare sense of emotion welled up in Roger's heart.
“Jin-an, you have mastered the essence of Divine Departure.”
As Roger said, Jin-an not only grasped that legendary, elusive technique but also incorporated his own understanding, making this strike not just a display of power but also incorporating the other's comprehension.
Roger looked down at the clothes that had been cut open.
Even though Jin-an's 'Divine Departure' had been shattered by him, there was still an attack that hit him.
“Entrusting the future of this world to you, I can rest assured.”
His words were not only an acknowledgment of Jin-an's abilities but also a hope and expectation for an era.
Roger's eyes flashed, a desire for battle, an anticipation for the future.
“Let us continue!”
Roger's voice was full of power.
He only sought battles of a higher realm.
At the bottom of the sea, Jin-an's figure slowly reappeared.
The light underwater was dim, but it could not conceal the light flashing in his eyes.
“Ah, as expected, I still haven't mastered it very well...”
Jin-an murmured softly, his voice tinged with self-deprecation.
“Roger, you are really... really strong...”
Despite bearing scars, Jin-an slowly straightened his body.
The obvious knife mark on his chest was a testament to the fierceness of this battle.
But the flesh on his chest wriggled, and the knife mark was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Under the dual blessing of the Azure Dragon Fruit's powerful recovery and his long-term training, Jin-an's recovery ability had reached a level unimaginable to ordinary people.
He looked up at Roger in the sky, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.
Jin-an's wounds gradually healed.
The shattered dragon scales also began to cover his chest again.
Like an indestructible armor, once again highlighting his powerful body after recovery.
“Come on, Jin-an, let me see your other abilities.”
Roger looked at the scales on Jin-an's body with interest.
Although it was the first time he had seen this ability, it should not only be able to enhance the physique and strengthen the defense.
Jin-an slowly raised his hand, his clenched fist seemingly stirring an invisible whirlwind in the seawater.
"Then, I will also use other abilities."
Jin-an murmured in his heart, and then suddenly leaped, his body drawing a perfect arc in the water, disappearing into the seabed.
His movements were so fast that almost the surrounding water flow stagnated.
“Roar!!!”
The sky trembled, the waves surged, and a deafening dragon roar pierced the tranquility of the sea, pushing the atmosphere of the battle to its peak.
Between the sea and the sky, that sound, like an ancient roar, echoed in every corner, shaking the hearts of every creature.
Subsequently, a huge figure broke through the clouds, so large that the head alone of its upright body in the air already exceeded the isolated island on the sea.
His transformation was like a scene from mythology, with powerful strength and unparalleled nobility perfectly displayed at this moment.
Jin-an possessed the power of a Mythical Zoan fruit.
His transformation caused magnificent waves, stirring up countless towering waves, as if preparing to submerge the entire world.
Roger stood on the sea, looking up at Jin-an, who had transformed into a giant dragon, a hint of surprise and appreciation flashing in his eyes.
“Transformed into an animal form?”
He commented softly, a new understanding of this battle flashing in his eyes.
“As expected of a Mythical Zoan, worthy of its reputation.”
Although Roger's voice was small, it was full of recognition for the other's power.
In that instant, the Azure Dragon's pupils constricted slightly, and then a blue light full of power spewed out from its mouth, soaring into the sky.
The air in front seemed to be torn apart by the huge energy, creating twisted spatial cracks.
Facing such a shocking scene, Roger was not afraid at all, and his body also began to emit red and black light, echoing the Azure Dragon from afar.
Jin-an, in the form of an Azure Dragon, carried supreme glory and power, and this battle with Roger had surpassed ordinary duels.
Regardless of the outcome, this will be a legendary battle recorded in history.
As the battle continued, the entire sea fell into a blue-golden light, with shocking sound waves and light and shadow in the sky.
