30 Years in Whitebeard’s Crew, I Became Invincible

While chaos erupted in Dressrosa, Roy had already made his way to the iron bridge leading to Green Bit.

"Doflamingo actually destroyed the bridge? Does he know how much of a pain it is to fix this?"

Roy glanced at the broken bridge, then back at the figures chasing him.

"I'll head over there. You good here?" he asked Atmos.

"No problem. I can hold off Fujitora," Atmos replied with a smile.

"Alright."

Roy nodded and leapt across the gap. Atmos immediately transformed into his dragon form and unleashed a Bolo Breath, forcing Fujitora and Saturn to abandon their gravity flight and land.

Fujitora stayed to confront Atmos, while Saturn crossed the bridge and continued chasing Roy.

"A new Admiral of the Marine… just right to test your strength," Atmos said, attacking Fujitora as their battle erupted on the bridge.

Meanwhile, Saturn, with his eight spider legs, pursued Roy rapidly. In a blink, the two had entered Green Bit.

"That's far enough," Roy stopped and turned to face Saturn.

"Hmph, keep running if you can," Saturn sneered.

"No need. Time to call your friends. Use Imu's ability to summon the other five. She embedded something in each of you, right? Like a mother insect controlling her brood. As long as she lives, you can't die. If she wants you dead, you die." Roy smiled.

Saturn showed no emotion, but inside, he breathed a sigh of relief, clearly, Roy only had guesses and didn't know Imu's true power.

"Seems I'm wrong then. So what is her ability really?" Roy asked with curiosity.

"You're going to die anyway. Knowing won't help," Saturn said, slamming his staff into the ground.

Five circular magic arrays appeared on the ground, each with the number "5" and emitting black smoke. Saturn stood in one of them.

From the other four circles emerged the remaining Five Elders, all wearing suits and draped coats.

"First time meeting all of you properly," Roy grinned.

"And the last, slave," Warcury spat.

"See, this is the difference between humans and beasts. Humans at least pretend to be civil. Beasts just snarl. My mistake, why would I expect manners from livestock? For beasts, you gotta break them first." Roy laughed.

Among them, the hot-tempered Saint Nusjuro had already drawn his sword.

"Shift into your beast forms. Otherwise, you won't get the chance. Under my Haki, you'll be crawling back to Mariejois in seconds. And I'm not joking, unless you're here in your true bodies, you five are less threatening than stray dogs."

"Arrogant fool!" Nusjuro charged. His lower body turned into a skeletal horse, likely a Mythical Zoan. Only a layer of skin remained on his back; the rest was exposed bone.

His speed was beyond the naked eye. In his hybrid form, he looked like a centaur wielding the First Generation Kitetsu cursed sword.

"DIE, FILTH! YOU SHOULD'VE ROTTED AT GOD VALLEY!"

He slashed fiercely. A flash of cold light appeared, seemingly about to slice Roy in two.

Roy squinted, twisted his body, and vanished, reappearing beside Nusjuro.

Crack!

With one kick, Roy broke a horse leg. The skeletal centaur collapsed and rolled across the ground.

"Hmph, is that all? I expected better," Roy said lightly.

Nasujuro roared, blue ghost flames and black awakening smoke swirling as he forced himself up.

"Cheap tricks!" he growled.

"Cheap, but you still ate dirt." Roy turned to the others. "Well? Show me what you've got."

"Hmph," Warcury grunted and transformed into a giant wild boar.

Saint Mars became an Itsumade, an eerie bird-serpent hybrid.

Saint Peter turned into a massive sandworm and burrowed underground.

Saturn, already in hybrid form, stared at Roy coldly.

"Five beasts. And the master you serve? Another beast. Heh. A whole circus of freaks." Roy mocked.

"Die!"

Mars, as an Itsumade, took to the skies and breathed fire from its mouth.

"Ugh, everyone uses fire. The Flame-Flame Fruit is so basic now, everyone's got fire powers."

Roy channeled Haki and launched a punch into the sky.

"Air Burst!"

The Haki compressed the air into a shockwave.

"Gale Slash!"

Nusjuro rushed again, slicing at Roy.

Swish!

Roy jumped into the air, dodged the attack, and drew a handgun made of Seastone.

Bang!

The bullet struck the horse's rear, shattering the skeleton. The four-legged beast collapsed into two.

"Hmph!"

A sonic wave cannon came next, clearly Warcury's move, followed by the charging wild boar, now clad in black flames.

Its two tusks became blades, aimed at Roy.

Clang!

Roy used his gun to block, but was knocked flying. Then the sandworm erupted from the ground and tried to swallow him whole.

Boom!

Roy burst out from inside it, clothes already corroded.

The acid-like substance worked like aqua regia, just a second inside and it had eaten through fabric.

"Hmph."

Saturn's eyes flashed red. Roy felt something.

Boom!

An explosion occurred right beside Roy, blasting him to the ground.

"Suppress!"

Saturn slammed down his cane. Conqueror's Haki erupted, locking Roy in place.

But Roy still stood tall. The suppressive force rivaled Fujitora's Gravity Fruit, yet caused no external damage, clearly a Devil Fruit ability.

"Your ability must be something like 'Ox-Spider'… Right?" Roy said, staring at Saturn in his full beast form.

"Now, it's my turn."
