#156 - Chapter 156: Battle with Roger (Part 2)
"Although I can't control it skillfully yet."
Jin An's voice carried a hint of humility and self-awareness.
He lowered his head slightly, his eyes concealing a subtle sharpness.
However, what followed was a smile, faint, yet full of confidence.
"But, if you want to see me use this move..."
Before the words finished, the atmosphere changed.
He raised his head, his eyes bright, facing Roger, as if saying that even without the request, he had already decided to unleash that remarkable power.
Under Roger's expectant gaze, Jin An's body began to release a powerful and domineering aura.
That aura suddenly erupted, as if a sleeping king had awakened, the air shaken by a surging power.
Space began to tremble under his will, and the sea breeze around him became violent.
The seaside night added a sense of mystery and solemnity to this scene, the sound of the waves becoming more chaotic, accompanied by the rising energy that was sometimes sharp and sometimes calm.
Jin An's figure appeared even more mysterious and arrogant in the moonlight.
At this moment, Jin An was ready to step out of the shadow of Roger, this legend, and show his own unique brilliance.
To learn from the other party, and surpass them.
Roger watched intently, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.
His heart was filled with endless expectations for Jin An's future.
"Perhaps, this world really can change in this generation..."
He knew that since Jin An had grasped the essentials of using Conqueror's Haki.
Then he would definitely be able to stand tall on this magnificent sea.
Roger's fingers gently stroked his bushy beard.
The corners of his mouth curled into a smile, a smile that contained both admiration for his opponent and the uninhibited wildness of the Pirate King.
Then, a powerful aura burst out from Roger's body like a tsunami.
Wanting to compete with the heavens, instantly breaking free from the shackles of the sea, displaying his unparalleled spirit.
At that moment, Roger's aura almost caused ripples in the surrounding air, his domineering presence making the stars lose their luster.
"You're really good!"
Roger's powerful voice echoed on the empty coast.
Contained within it was not only recognition of Jin An, but also anticipation for this duel.
His recognition was weighty enough to make the sense of honor surge in the hearts of everyone in the world.
"As a return gift."
Roger continued, his movements slow, removing the cloak that symbolized his status from his shoulders.
That piece of cloth that had fluttered in the wind countless times, carrying the legendary path he had walked.
Without the restraint of the cloak, he would treat Jin An as both a friend and an opponent in this final battle.
"This battle will be one of the most unforgettable memories of our lives."
He said firmly.
At their level, the battles they could remember were few and far between.
This battle could undoubtedly be recorded in history.
......
On the other side.
The sound coming from the lifeboat was mixed with unwillingness and panic, and it seemed particularly harsh on the windy and wavy sea.
"Damn, don't you guys faint..."
He watched as one crew member after another fell on the deck, each with traces of weakness on their faces.
"We can't even row the boat with just these few people."
He uttered helpless complaints, holding his head in his hands, watching the waves hit the hull, while their abandoned boat could not even move an inch.
The strange things on the sea were vivid in the captain's pirate career, but tonight was turbulent and full of weirdness.
"Mom, I don't want to be a pirate anymore..."
His voice became low.
He really regretted it, and he vowed to find someone to do divination before going out in the future.
The surrounding crew members lay on the deck one after another like they had lost their souls, and the oars in their hands also slipped into the sea.
As an old fritter who had been struggling on the Great Route for many years, the captain understood what was happening.
He knew why these people fainted.
But what was despairing was that even if he knew the reason, he was powerless.
He had laughed countless times through countless difficulties, but at this moment he could only watch the disintegration of the team.
The sea breeze messed up his hair and his thoughts, he raised his eyes and looked up at the starry sky, only to see dark clouds covering the top and the starlight dim.
"God, can you not do this to me..."
His plea seemed to be mixed with a borderline plea of half anger and half pleading, and his voice dissipated with the wind, hopelessly integrated into the sound of the wind and waves, hoping for a glimmer of hope.
In this dark and chaotic night sea, he and his crew could only wait for the unknown fate to arrange.
And what made him most desperate was that their boat seemed to be drawn by some force.
Drifting towards the area of the battle.
......
Just as Roger and Jin An were in this quiet and dim corner, preparing to unfold the great contest between them.
Roger's ears suddenly twitched, capturing a faint call.
"I seem to hear someone calling God."
Roger's voice was mixed with a trace of surprise and incomprehension.
He turned his head to look at Jin An, his eyes seemed to be questioning, confirming whether the other party had also heard the subtle voice.
In this remote place of choice, it was the battlefield they had carefully selected, far from the hustle and bustle, without the interference of others, only them.
However, before this area officially became their duel stage, it seemed that someone had been unfortunately affected by the battle aura that was about to surge out.
Roger's heart was slightly rippled, and he was a little annoyed.
I thought I had found a perfect location, which not only avoided innocent people from being involved, but also allowed them to unfold this battle without reservation.
However, hearing the subtle prayer, he realized that perhaps things were not going entirely according to plan.
Just as he and Jin An were brewing that majestic aura, Roger knew that it was difficult for them to take care of others now.
"A group of pirates strayed into here, don't pay too much attention to it."
Jin An gripped the knife in his hand tightly, he felt his arm trembling uncontrollably.
He was calling on too much Haki, and it felt like it was about to break away from his control.
"Roger, this is the strongest slash I can unleash right now."
"I hope I don't disappoint you!"
Jin An's brows were furrowed, and sweat gathered on his forehead, and the moment it dripped, it was annihilated by the powerful force.
He felt every subtle vibration of the hilt in his hand, which was the huge power contained in the blade roaring and impacting his internal organs.
Countless practices and battles were condensed into absolute control over power at this moment.
In Jin An's world, only he and Roger were left.
His legs began to bend, and the moment he exerted force, his entire body creaked.
"Kamusa!!!"
The slash he unleashed crashed towards Roger with the surging of the entire ocean.
The blade broke through the air, and the sharp whistling sound it produced tore through the eardrums, venting out with unparalleled power.
"You have indeed mastered the essence of Kamusa."
A hint of appreciation flashed in Roger's eyes, but he did not flinch in the slightest.
His feet were deeply rooted in the sand.
At the moment when Jin An's blade was about to touch him, Roger was also ready to meet this contest in his own way.
"My long sword has been thirsty for a long time."
"Kamusa!!"
