One Piece: sign-in to Ryujin Jakka

The whistling of bullets tearing through the air had ceased.

From behind his meat shield, Spandine cautiously poked his head out.

The subordinate he had pulled in front of him as a shield was already cold, lifeless.

Thanks to this despicable move, Spandine had survived.

His eyes widened in disbelief as he watched Roman slowly walk toward him.

His lips trembled involuntarily.

The arrogance on his face had long since drained away, snow white with fear.

"What kind of ability is this?!"

"You... You... what the hell are you?!"

"H-How could someone like you exist in West Blue?!"

Spandine's voice cracked as he screamed.

His eyes bulging with terror, the fear within him surging uncontrollably.

He was the perfect example of a coward— kneeling before the strong, trampling the weak!

This was the real face of Spandine.

Step by step, Roman approached.

Each step slammed against Spandine's heart like a war drum, driving him to the brink of collapse.

They were now near the massive Tree of Knowledge.

Suddenly—

Ding!

[Congratulations to the Host for signing in at the Tree of Knowledge. Reward: Wood Release — Nativity of a World of Trees!]

As the system prompt echoed in his mind, Roman stopped before Spandine.

Spandine, legs giving out, collapsed to the ground.

His trembling hands fumbled around in the pockets of his coat before he pulled out a Golden Den Den Mushi.

"Don't come any closer! I swear—I'll press it! I'll press it!!"

Olvia's expression shifted instantly.

"Roman! That's the Buster Call trigger!"

"If it's activated, the entirety of Ohara will be wiped off the map!"

Hearing Olvia's panicked shout seemed to restore some of Spandine's courage.

He sneered.

"That's right!"

"This is the Buster Call!"

"Now, kneel and beg for forgiveness!"

"Or else, I'll press it and the full force of the Marines will descend, and this entire island will be erased from existence!"

" Do you understand?! The Buster Call represents the ultimate military attack of the Marines!"

His smug laughter filled the air.

But hidden beneath his hood, Roman's expression remained utterly calm.

Slowly, he raised his hand.

"Bakudō #4 — Hainawa!"

A crackling yellow rope of light shot out from Roman's palm,

instantly wrapping around Spandine's hand—

Snatching the Golden Den Den Mushi out of his grasp!

Before Spandine could react, the device was already in Roman's hand.

The remnants of Spandine's smugness shattered.

His face turned ashen, despair overwhelming him.

The last card he clung to was gone.

He was completely helpless!

Meanwhile, Olvia, still clutching Robin, let out a breath of relief.

But just as quickly, her pupils shrank sharply.

"Roman, no!! You... You pressed it?!"

Everything happened too fast.

Even Spandine was confused for a moment, unable to grasp the current situation.

But as soon as he saw Roman press the Golden Den Den Mushi—

His despair twisted into manic joy!

He burst out laughing hysterically.

"You fool! You pressed it yourself!"

"You just sentenced Ohara to death!!, enjoy your last moments on this damned island"

"Now, taste the full fury of the Buster Call! Hahahaha!"

Spandine was ecstatic.

In his eyes, Roman was a hopeless fool!

Meanwhile, outside Ohara Island—

Ten warships surged forward.

Thousands of soldiers, dozens of Captains, and five Vice Admirals received the terrifying signal at once!

The sea erupted with violence!

Cannon fire roared!

Sword slashes sliced through the sky!

On the deck of a ship,

Two figures stepped forward. Their auras, monstrous and overwhelming

They were Admiral candidates!

Their faces were cold and merciless.

"Meteor Volcano!"

"Ice Age!"

Akainu and Aokiji unleashed their ultimate moves without hesitation upon receiving the order to destroy Ohara!

Fiery magma rained down from the sky.

A frozen chill swept across the sea, freezing everything in its path.

Death loomed, engulfing everything!

On the island,

Olvia and Robin squeezed their eyes shut.

Victory had seemed so close until a moment ago

Only for despair to crash down even harder!

The destruction that approached was unimaginable!

Spandine laughed wildly.

"This is what happens when you defy the World Government!"

"Now die! Hahaha!"

Yet under the cloak—

Roman smiled faintly.

Quietly, he raised his palm. Then he struck his palm against the ground.

He said:

"Wood Release Secret technique - Nativity of a World of Trees!"

In an instant—

Boundless life energy burst out from his palm, pouring into the ground!

The colossal roots of the Tree of Knowledge surged up,

twisting and weaving together!

A massive living wall of wood arose,

spanning miles around the island.

A natural fortress with boundless vitality!

"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"

The Buster Call's devastating blows rained down!

Bullets, cannonballs, sword slashes, even the combined might of Akainu and Aokiji's ultimate techniques.

Yet no matter how fierce the assault, the roots regenerated instantly, absorbing the attacks effortlessly.

The devastating might of the Buster Call...was utterly neutralized. The island remained untouched.

As the first wave of attacks ended—

The battlefield fell eerily silent.

Spandine's manic laughter choked in his throat. He gulped hard

His lips quivered.

He could only mutter in horror:

"H-How... How is this possible?"

"The Tree of Knowledge... it's alive...!"

Not just Spandine—

Even Akainu and Aokiji stood dumbfounded aboard their warships.

Their strongest attacks, completely neutralized!

"This... What the hell is it made of?!"

Aokiji murmured, his eyes sharp.

"No matter what it is—"Akainu clenched his magma-covered fists.

"Anything that stands against justice must be annihilated!"

The magma around him flared violently.

"Let's see you block this!"

"Hellhound!"

With a roar, Akainu launched another earth-shattering punch.

A magma fist, hotter than anything else on the battlefield, ripped through the sky toward the giant root wall!

A deafening explosion shook the entire island.
