Deep within the Hidden Rain Village, the colossal and malevolent Gedo Statue awakened with a thunderous roar.
With power capable of destroying heaven and earth, it collided with Roy's sharp slash.
Seeing this, Roy's eyes narrowed sharply.
In the next instant, as if ti itself had stretched, Roy's massive slash detonated in mid-air, relentlessly cutting toward the Gedo Statue's enormous fist.
"Roooar—!"
Accompanied by the Gedo Statue's deafening roar, the vast amount of chakra within its body gathered at its fist, and ultimately, Roy's slash was smashed to pieces by that unstoppable force.
However, Roy keenly noticed that although the Gedo Statue's fist seed indestructible, under the onslaught of the slash, several deep wounds were carved into its palm.
Unfortunately, these wounds vanished in an instant; the statue's flesh writhed under a bizarre power, and the injuries healed rapidly, as if they had never existed.
"Then let's see how you like this."
Roy thought to himself, preparing to unleash an even more powerful technique, when suddenly, another change occurred.
The surrounding air seed to freeze, and countless sheets of paper transford into sharp blades, hurtling toward him like a torrential storm.
Seeing this, Roy remained calm. His hands quickly ford dazzling, radiant magatama that shot out like a teor shower, colliding with the paper-made blades.
"Roooar—!"
At the sa ti, a dark shadow streaked across the sky: it was the Yatagarasu summoned by the Animal Path, its wings spread wide, its montum fierce.
Roy's Observation Haki keenly detected a chaleon hiding in the shadows, approaching silently.
Not only that, missiles controlled by the Asura Path roared in like a raging storm, carrying the force to annihilate everything.
Facing this overwhelming assault, Roy's form flickered as he transford into a brilliant beam of light, weaving and evading through the sky.
"Shinra Tensei!"
Just as Roy was about to escape the attack range, the Deva Path's voice rang out. With his eyes slightly widening, a colossal repulsive force erupted from his body, bearing down on Roy as if to crush him.
"Bang—!"
Confronted with this irresistible force, Roy gripped the A-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi with both hands. With a slight twist of the blade, a crescent-shaped sword aura burst forth, continuously tearing through the repulsive force that seed capable of consuming everything.
Roy himself transford into light once more, piercing through the repulsion barrier and appearing before Nagato in an instant. His fingers moved like lightning, aiming straight for his eyes.
"How dare you!" This scene filled Konan with rage. Countless sheets of paper materialized out of thin air, layering upon each other to form an impregnable shield before Nagato.
However, Roy did not stop. His fingers twitched slightly, and several laser beams pierced through space, striking those shields accurately and destroying them instantly without a trace.
Just as Roy was about to succeed, a massive foot suddenly descended from the heavens, carrying earth-shattering force, crushing the entire area in front of Nagato to dust.
It was an attack Nagato executed through the Gedo Statue, astonishing in power, enough to shatter anyone to pieces.
In the distance, interweaving beams of light converged into Roy's figure as he looked at Nagato and Konan, who were on high alert.
"Who are you?"
Nagato asked, breathing slightly heavily, his expression grave as he gazed at the masked Roy, speaking coldly. The mask and uniform seed familiar to him.
He had just recently summoned the Gedo Statue again and begun researching the plan to seal the tailed beasts. Although he hadn't yet started capturing them, these matters were better dealt with sooner rather than later—it was best to finish his research quickly.
Unexpectedly, today a mysterious strongman suddenly appeared and attacked him.
"Nagato, it is ti to hand over your eyes to Lord Danzo!"
Roy, seeing this, smirked coldly and began playing the role of a "Root" operative, shifting the bla onto Danzo.
"Danzo? You're from Konoha's Root?" Hearing Danzo's na, Nagato was visibly startled, then enraged. His previously steady chakra began to fluctuate wildly, like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami surging.
"So, it's Danzo's man? How despicable." Nagato's eyes blazed with killing intent. Danzo bore significant responsibility for Yahiko's death.
Over the years, for the sake of his grand plan, he had restrained himself from killing Danzo. He never expected Root to dare co to him.
This was an utter humiliation!
Although he found it strange that soone as strong as Roy would be a subordinate of that man Danzo, he reasoned that a powerhouse like Roy wouldn't lie without reason.
Beside him, Konan's killing intent also surged, but seeing Nagato's chakra fluctuating wildly, she grew concerned.
"Nagato, hand over your eyes. Only Lord Danzo is worthy of them." Roy spread his arms and spoke fervently, as if he were a fanatical follower of Danzo. If there were movie awards in this world, Roy felt he would be a shoo-in.
"Then die here. Your Lord Danzo will soon follow to hell. Konoha will also disappear."
Nagato's voice was as cold as a piercing wind, cutting through every inch of space. Following this, he let out a deafening roar.
With his roar, the Gedo Statue issued a thunderous howl. Its massive body, carrying the power to destroy the world, suddenly charged toward Roy.
Roy's form flickered as he transford into a streak of light, nimbly maneuvering through the air.
However, a terrifying power erupted subtly, unstoppably.
"Ultra-Shinra Tensei!" Nagato's low, powerful chant echoed through the air. Imdiately after, an unprecedented repulsive force exploded outward. This power seed capable of pushing away all things in the world, even distorting space.
Roy's body, which had relied on his elental form to remain nearly intangible, was forcibly materialized under the influence of this repulsive force. The expression on his face turned grave—clearly, the power Nagato was now displaying had far exceeded his expectations.
Facing this force that could tear apart the heavens and the earth, Roy knew he could no longer hold back.
He took a deep breath. Black light shimred across his entire body as he concentrated his Armant Haki to its utmost limit, even dyeing the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi in his hand a profound black. Simultaneously, the power of his Devil Fruit was fully unleashed, pushing the Glint-Glint Fruit to its absolute peak.
Roy swung his sword. This strike contained all his strength. The sword beam surged like a dragon, tearing through the sky, clashing head-on with Nagato's repulsive force.
Instantly, light and darkness intertwined, fiercely contending in mid-air. The resulting shockwaves made the surrounding space tremble, causing the entire Hidden Rain Village to shake.
The collision lasted for an unknown duration. When everything finally settled, Roy's figure slowly appeared on the distant horizon. Although he appeared unhard on the surface, ripples stirred in his heart as he gained a deeper understanding of Nagato's power.
Even Roy had to admit that while Nagato was no match for him, an opponent like Nagato posed a certain degree of threat.
From this perspective, true superpowerhouses like Hashirama Senju or Madara Uchiha could indeed hold their own against the strongest in the world of pirates.
