Chapter 18 No Retreat

The body was shaking...trembling violently.

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

The biting cold rain slapped on his cheek and then bounced away.

It was as if the energy of every muscle, every tendon, and even every cell had been completely drained by the crazy influx of adrenaline.

In the reflection of the pupils, the furious, unruly, and arrogant face of the future Pirate King, as well as the supreme sharp knife dragging black and red lightning, zoomed in at an alarming speed...

If you don't retreat...you will die.

Will definitely die.

The man in front of me is the future Pirate King. He has killed the overlord Rocks and stands at the top of the world in terms of combat power!

Even a genius like Dolag, who was as powerful as a monster, was directly and seriously injured by Roger's knife! !

I haven't mastered Armament Haki yet, and I don't even have the ability to buffer damage with the elemental form of a natural Devil Fruit... It's impossible to take this blow forcefully!

If it is connected hard, he will definitely die on the spot! !

Want to retreat?

Gotta retreat,

Do I have to...back off...?

No! !

Darren's body suddenly stopped trembling, his eyes suddenly condensed, and his black pupils were instantly filled with bloodshot blood that was almost crazy and fierce.

An indescribable anger surged out of his chest, and then turned into a ferocious smile.

After countless near-death fights, hellish training day after day, and careful management in Beihai for so many years, he finally got a place in the officer training camp, walked out of Beihai and stepped onto the world stage...

The reason... isn't it just to have a good fight with world-class strong men like Roger, Whitebeard, and Golden Lion who cross the sea! ?

And now, the future Pirate King Gol D. Roger is right in front of him!

"I won't retreat!!"

Darren roared with red eyes.

A majestic momentum erupted from his body, and the overlord-colored domineering energy released by Roger collided with each other in the air, like two spherical cyclones, colliding with each other in the sky!

Darren's long-suppressed domineering aura... finally exploded and was released at this moment!

Crackling... countless lightning bolts suddenly appeared in the void, causing Roger's movements to stagnate slightly and his pupils to shrink slightly.

"Overlord and domineering!?"

Garp and Drago below both exclaimed.

"You are actually the owner of the 'King's Spirit', which is really rare in the navy... But your spirit is too weak, navy brat!!"

Roger suddenly laughed and held the famous sword in his hands with both hands.

From a distance, it seemed as if it was dragging bunches of black-red electric light that spewed up and fell down violently! !

Click!

Darren's domineering and domineering cyclone was like shattered glass, suddenly shattered and shattered under this overbearing sword.

"Darren!!"

Jiaji roared with red eyes.

Gion clenched his fists tightly.

Garp used Moon Step eagerly, with cold sweat on his forehead.

Dorag's heart sank.

“That’s it!!”

Roger yelled.

Death... comes.

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

Strength...Physique...Domineering...

In the battle with Bundy Waldo, every movement of the legendary pirate's fists clearly appeared before his eyes.

It was like a spiritual light penetrated his chaotic and dark mind.

The thrilling feeling of leaping to the top of the mountain made his trembling and tense muscles instantly relax.

He understood everything instantly.

He should have thought of it a long time ago.

Once your physique exceeds 60, you will have a defensive hardness comparable to steel;

If your agility exceeds 60, you will be able to master an instant burst of speed that is not inferior to that of the Navy's Sixth Form Shaver;

And the strength exceeded 60...

Darren's eyes flashed with astonishing light.

that is……

"Armed color...hardened!"

he snapped.

Along with the surge of blood and the infusion of strength in the body, the Commodore's fist...

A jet-black, shiny, metal-like invisible armor quickly covered his right fist!

There was no time to carefully comprehend this new and unfamiliar power. Darren, with a sinister expression on his face, punched out with a sinister smile.

He faced that unparalleled "divine avoidance" slash... without flinching!

——Confront the Pirate King! !

Keng! !

Just like the roar of Hong Zhongdalu exploding in the sky, surging waves of air centered on the two people and spread violently in all directions.

The sea once again set off rough waves.

In everyone's frozen eyes,

Click!

The armed domineering armor on the Commodore's fist only lasted for a moment before dense cracks appeared and suddenly shattered.

The armed color is domineering and broken;

The steely skin breaks;

The tough muscles beneath the skin break apart;

Darren's entire arm exploded into bloody mist, and the muscles stained with blood were torn apart.

"God avoids!!"

Following Roger's roar, a violent sword light hit Darren's chest hard!

This knife spread from the left side of his neck to the right side of his abdomen, almost cutting open his entire body, and his ribs were clearly visible.

Large clumps of blood spattered away, flying up and splattering on Roger's face.

Darren was struck by lightning, and his face instantly lost all its color.

Everyone on the deck of the Oro Jackson saw clearly that as Roger's knife fell, the commodore suddenly bent his body, and the whole person seemed to break from the middle, like a broken doll, falling downwards.

"Roger, you bastard!"

Kapu finally arrived, and a punch wrapped in black lightning hit Roger with great force like a meteor.

Roger was about to make a move,

but at this moment, Darren, who was falling at high speed, gritted his teeth, raised his hand with great difficulty, and grinned:

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

After doing this, he suddenly saw a tall figure leaping from the warship, and the next second he crashed into a warm embrace.

At the same time, Roger was stunned, and only felt a strong drag on his belt.

But under Kapu's pressure, he didn't care too much and swung his sword to block.

Clang! !

Boom! !

Fists and swords collided, sparks flew, and air waves erupted.

Roger's face suddenly turned red.

His lower body suddenly became cold.

He looked down.

The scene that came into his eyes almost made him black out.

His belt with metal buttons was dragged down by that force, along with his black trousers...

His lower body was left with only a bright red pair of shorts!

"Hahahaha!! Roger, your pants fell off!!"

Garp laughed.
