Chapter 318: Roja Vs the Straw Hat!
“heuh, Although we won, these guys are really strong.”
After they defeated the Pacifista, Luffy took a deep breath and ended the second gear.
Next to him, Nami said solemnly: “Luffy, we should quickly go. There is such a strong enemy now, I’m afraid that stronger people from the Marine will arrive.”
However, Almost as her voice fell, Zoro stood up and shook his head: “No, it’s already late…”
Wouch!
A burst of light appeared and Roja strolled suddenly in front of them and glanced at the destroyed Pacifista.
“Oh, you guys are strong!”
“Ah!”
Usopp saw Luffy and was scared. He started trembling while Nami was also surprised and also felt fear. Sanji lowered his face and looked serious while fighting intent flashed in Zoro’s eyes.
As for Robin, she was somewhat surprised. She didn’t expect Roja to come personally. A strange light appeared in her eyes as she didn’t know what to do anymore.
“This is an Admiral?!”
Franky looked at Roja.
Brook like always said his line: “He’s really scary that mu eyes will come out, but I don’t have eyes to come out… Yohohohoho.”
“Yes he is.”
Robin nodded, then took a deep breath and said: “He is the strongest Admiral in the Marine’s history. He is the one standing at the peak of this world.”
At this time, Only Luffy’s expression didn’t change much. He stood there and looked at Roja.
“Why are you here?”
“Why? After causing all of this trouble?”
Roja looked at Luffy with a blank face.
Luffy was silent then he recalled the thing that happened with the celestial Dragon. He still didn’t regret his action as he looked up at Roja and said.
“Are you talking about the Celestial Dragon Guy? That guy deserves…”
After saying this Luffy paused and then said: “I don’t want to fight you.”
Roja smirked and said: “Right, even if you fight against me, can you win?”
“No.”
Luffy shook his head and said: “I don’t want to win, I want to leave.”
As he said this, Luffy clenched his fist. He can’t stop here.
Zoro and Sanji were the same, they looked at Roja ready to fight.
Roja shook his head and suddenly sighed: “It seems like you don’t know what happened to Ace…”
Luffy: “What happened to Ace?”
“…”
Roja shook his head and refused to answer. At the same time he grabbed his Sen Maboroshi and said: “If you want to know, come at me, let me test your strength.”
“If you win, I may tell you.”
When he heard Roja, Luffy hesitated. He didn’t want to fight against Roja at all and at the same time he didn’t want to give up.
But…
He only hesitated for a moment. After all, he is Luffy. He was very firm. He opened the Second Gear and prepared for the fight.
Roja looked at Zoro and the others and said: “All of you as well. Are you ready?”
Nami clenched her Clima-Tact. She had no confidence in fighting Roja, she was nervous. If there is someone that wasn’t nervous here, it would be Robin.
Robin knew what Roja wanted to do, Luffy was his nephew after all, he would kill him or hurt him.
She knew that he wanted to catch him, he wouldn’t talk so much.
Roja noticed Robin’s gaze and shrugged at her, then said.
“Bankai, Daiguren hyorinmaru!”
Wouch!
After his voice came out, half of his sword turned to ice and from his arm, an ice dragon climbed on his arm toward his shoulder forming two beautiful ice wings on his back.
“Ice?”
Not only Zoro and Sanji, even Robin was stunned. She knew most of Roja’s skills, but she was shocked by this new power that she didn’t hear of before.
Isn’t this the power of the other Admiral?
How come Roja is using it?
Wouch!
Without waiting for them to react, Roja stepped forward and appeared in front of Zoro.
Wouch!
Zoro’s pupil Shrunk, but he didn’t hesitate as he using his sword to attack Roja.
Roja held his sword and blocked Zoro’s swords with one hand. A chill suddenly spread through the sword and started freezing Zoro’s hands.
Zoro was shocked and suddenly pulled back.
At this moment, Sanji flashed from the side and used his devil’s feet (Diable jambe) and kicked at Roja’s head with an astonishing speed.
However, Roja didn’t look at his while he blocked it with his sword.
Ding!
His leg hit Sen Maboroshi but it couldn’t do anything to it, even the Ice on it didn’t fall.
Instead, his Diable Jambe was instantly cooled down by the ice then it started to freeze.
Sanji was horrified and pulled back quickly.
“Gomu Gomu no…”
Luffy’s fists suddenly attacked Roja from the side.
At the same time, Franky released his Coup De Burst at Roja, Chpper suddenly charged and Zoro attacked again.
Everyone attacked at the same time.
Under these attacks, Roja was like a big evil boss fighting against the series protagonists. He couldn’t help feel strange.
Wouch!
Roja waved his sword and an Ice wall suddenly rose in from Roja’s side. This wall blocked Roja’s fist and Franky’s Coup De Burst and all of the other attacks.
The Ice wall wasn’t thick but it seemed like nothing could penetrate it.
