irst As for disputes between nations, our navy has no right to interfere... rashly interfering in their domestic affairs, if not handled carefully, could lead to a political crisis."She's such an inno...My body is trembling... violently shaking.

Death, like a nightmare, gripped Darren's heart, almost suffocating him.

The icy rain beat against his cheekbones, then bounced away.

It's as if every muscle, every tendon, even every cell is drained completely by the surging adrenaline.

In the reflection of his pupils, the future Pirate King's face, filled with rage, arrogance, and unrivaled dominance, along with his supreme katana slashing through black and red lightning at an astonishing speed, rapidly magnified...

...don't retreat… or you will die.

You will definitely die.

The man before you is the future Pirate King, he has defeated the ruler Rocks and stands as the strongest force at the pinnacle of the world!

Even someone as monstrously talented as Doflamingo was dealt a direct, severe injury by Roger's single slash!!

He hasn't mastered Armament Haki, and he doesn't have the natural Devil Fruit ability to buffer damage through elementalization... There's no way he could block this strike head-on!

If you resist, you'll die instantly!

I want to leave.

He needs to leave,

Must I... retreat... after this

No!!!

Darren's body suddenly stopped shaking, his eyes narrowed sharply, and the black pupils were instantly filled with almost frenzied and arrogant bloodshot.

A surge of indescribable malice surged from his chest, transforming into a ferocious grin.

Countless times on the brink of death, day after day of hellish training, he carefully managed for so many years in Beihai. He finally earned a spot at an officer training camp, stepping out of Beihai and onto the world stage…

Isn't the purpose... to have a good fight with world-class powerhouses like Roger, Whitebeard, and Golden Lion who roam the seas!

And now, the future Pirate King Gol D. Roger is right before his eyes!

"I will not retreat!!"

Darren roared with bloodshot eyes.

A surging wave of power erupted explosively from his body, clashing against the domineering Haki released by Roger in mid-air. The two forces met like spherical cyclones, grinding and churning against each other in the sky!

Darren's long-suppressed Overlord Color Haki... finally erupted and released at this moment!

Crackle...countless bolts of lightning sprang forth suddenly in the void, causing Roger's movements to falter slightly, his pupils constricting.

"Overbearing Color, Overbearing Aura!"

Below, Kaido and Dragon both exclaimed in surprise.

"To be the possessor of 'The Emperor's Aura,' that's rare even in the Navy... But your aura is too weak, little Marine devil!!"

Roger suddenly burst into laughter, his hands gripping the famous sword in his grasp.

From afar, it appears as if dragging strands of black and red electrical light that shoot up from a sprinkler, slashing down fiercely!!

Click!

Darren's Haki, like glass shattering under an overwhelming force, was directly pulverized by this domineering strike, leaving nothing but fragments.

"Darren!!"

His eyes bloodshot with rage, he roared.

Gion clenched her fist tightly.

Karp, with an anxious expression, hurriedly used Moonwalk, his forehead creased with cold sweat.

Drogon's heart sank.

That's it for now!!

Roger roared.

Death... is upon us.

At this moment, Darren's heart stopped beating, and countless images flooded his mind.

Strength... physique... aura...

In the battle against Bonney Waldos, every punch from that legendary pirate was crystal clear in his mind.

A bolt of lightning pierced through his chaotic and dark mind.

That feeling of exhilaration, of reaching the peak of a mountain, made him tremble. His muscles, tense with effort, suddenly relaxed.

He instantly understood everything.

He should have thought of it a long time ago.

When your physique surpasses 60, you'll possess defense hardness comparable to steel;

If you can break through 60 with Agility, you'll be able to master an instantaneous burst of speed that rivals the Navy Six Style's shave.

...while power breaks through 60......

Darren's eyes lit up with astonishing brilliance.

that is…

"Armament Color... Harden!"

He shouted angrily.

Accompanied by the surging of blood and the infusion of strength within his body, the navy rear admiral's fist...

A gleam of obsidian, like a metallic sheen, swiftly covered his right fist in an invisible armor.

Without time to carefully contemplate this newfound, strange power, a grim-faced Darren grinned and unleashed a punch.

Charging straight towards that unparalleled "Divine Avoidance" strike... He met it head-on without flinching!

Face the Pirate King head-on!!

CLANG!!

Like the deafening roar of a great bell shattering in the sky, waves of surging energy, centered on the two figures, raged outwards in all directions.

The sea once again surged with towering waves.

In the gaze of all, frozen.

Click!

The navy rear admiral's armor, imbued with the domineering aura of Busoshoku Haki on his fist, only lasted an instant before it was riddled with cracks and shattered.

Armed color domineering, shattering arrogance;

Steel-like skin shattered;

The tough muscles beneath the skin shattered.

Darren's whole arm exploded in a flurry of gruesome crimson. Strips of flesh, slick with blood, were torn apart.

"Dodge!"

With a roar from Roger, a fierce blade slashed violently into Darren's chest!

This blade, starting from the left side of his neck, slashed all the way to his right abdomen, nearly cutting him in half. His ribs were clearly visible.

A large, crimson spray of blood erupted, splattering and flying onto Roger's face.

Darren was struck dumb, his face instantly draining of all color.

Everyone on the deck of the Oro Jackson could plainly see that with Roger’s swing, the Navy rear admiral bent over sharply, his entire body seemingly breaking in the middle. He crumpled like a broken doll and fell downward.

"Roger, you bastard!"

Karp finally arrived, his fist wrapped in black lightning, striking Roger with the force of a meteor.

Roger was just about to make a move,

But just at this moment, as Darren was plummeting at high speed, he gritted his teeth and with great difficulty raised his hand, grinning ferociously:

"At least...get some interest back!"

After completing the action, he suddenly saw a tall figure leap from the warship. The next second, he crashed into a warm embrace.

At the same time, Roger was startled, feeling a powerful tugging force suddenly on his belt.

Under Kaph's pressure, he could no longer afford to be cautious, parrying with his sword.

Clank!!

BOOM!!

Blades clashed, sparks flew, and a gust of wind erupted.

Roger's face suddenly turned as red as a beet.

My lower body suddenly felt ice-cold.

He looked down.

The scene that greeted him nearly made his eyes go black.

His own belt, with its metallic buckle, was dragged down along with his black trousers by that force...

Only his lower body remained, a single pair of bright red shorts!

"Hahaha!! Roger, your pants are down!!"

"Karp laughed heartily."
