The Destroyed Red Earth Continent

Poof!

A massive slash with crimson blood came rushing in.

"God's Evasion!"

Roger shouted loudly, swinging his sword with all his might. At this moment, he was in his strongest state, with the Four Soul Gem Fragments, Devil Cells, Devil Fruit Fusion, Conqueror's Haki, and Armament Haki all converging at this precise moment.

With a thunderous clash, the huge sword energy collided, causing the sea to erupt in waves. Roger's entire being was sent flying into the distance by that force.

"Nameless!"

Roger shouted again. In the place where he was being propelled towards, Nameless had already prepared for instantaneous movement. In the next second after Roger's arrival, the two of them disappeared from that place.

Following in the midst of the enormous waves, Aatrox's figure broke through all obstacles. The sea trembled before him. He looked at the disappeared Roger and cruelly said,

"I will cut your filthy body! Slice it! Chop it into pieces!"

His raging roar turned the surrounding world into chaos. Their battles along the way had already left a trail of destruction, reducing everything in their path to piles of flesh and wreckage, whether it be pirates or marines.

Aatrox, transformed into a bloody storm, flew forward. Then, he saw a massive wall.

It was...

The Red Soil Continent!

The Grand Line was divided into two parts by this Red Soil Continent, with the first half known as Paradise and the latter half as the New World.

The scale and strength of the pirates in Paradise and the New World differed significantly due to the existence of this Red Soil Continent.

To traverse the Red Soil Continent, one had to either go to the Sabaody Archipelago, entering from the sea bottom through special means, or use legal methods to enter through Mary Geoise.

Therefore, only powerful pirates could traverse the Red Soil Continent to reach the New World. Moreover, since the Marine Headquarters was in the first half of the Grand Line, it naturally became a paradise for the weaker ones.

However, at this moment, the Red Soil Continent encountered Aatrox.

"Nothing can stop the Descendant of Darkness!"

Aatrox lifted his huge sword with one hand, looking at the walls of the Red Soil Continent with disdain, mocking the weakness of this world.

To prevent Aatrox from completely losing his target and making him lose focus, Roger suddenly stopped in the distance. He stood in the air, watching Aatrox who had also come to a halt, frowning.

"What is he planning?"

Roger thought of a possibility, but that possibility was too horrifying.

"He probably..."

Nameless also sighed in amazement at this moment. "Is doing what we thought?"

So, as their voices fell, Aatrox did exactly what they thought. His sword stood on the Red Soil Continent.

He wanted...

To cut open the Red Soil Continent?!

Could such a thing be possible?!

Roger's pupils contracted. The Red Soil Continent represented the boundary of the world. It had stood on the sea for thousands of years, symbolizing eternity. However, now...

Aatrox struck his large sword onto the Red Soil Continent. Instantly, the wall of this part of the Red Soil Continent was shocked by immense power. The ground above, which could accommodate an entire city, first cracked, and then this cracking quickly spread downward!

In Roger's incredible gaze, he saw Aatrox's colossal body shaking the seemingly unshakable Red Soil Continent. The ground on top started to crumble...

Starting from the top, the originally connected Red Soil Continent suddenly revealed a gigantic gap of over ten meters wide. The rocks fell into the sea like crazy waves, and the sea also crazily flowed into the separated sea area.

Even the sea under Roger's feet was boiling. The separated sea surface seemed to be completing a convergence at this moment, creating a gap between the front and back halves of the Grand Line!

And it was this gap that connected the oceans above!

"Is this real..."

Roger almost couldn't believe what his eyes were seeing. The power was too terrifying. Even the Red Soil Continent could be cut open. Was Aatrox truly invincible?

This was...

The power of a god!

"Go!"

Nameless suddenly grabbed Roger's hand. The cooldown of the instantaneous movement had ended. They reappeared in the distance, while Aatrox continued to chase after them, breaking through the Red Soil Continent.

His enormous body exuded tremendous pressure. Anything in his way was a dead end!

Quick, faster!

At this moment, Roger and Nameless rushed forward quickly. Aatrox closely followed behind them, and the distance between them seemed to be constantly shortening. Even with Nameless continuously using instantaneous movement, the distance between them would decrease in the cooldown.

The power of natural disasters raged on the sea. Aatrox had successfully set them as his target.

Until the end...

Nameless brought Roger to a desert. He was panting heavily, covered in sweat.

Consecutive use of instantaneous movement so many times, all thanks to the Four Soul Gem Fragments on his hand; otherwise, he would have run out of strength long ago. However, even so, he had overused his psychic power. At this moment, he could hardly stabilize his body and knelt in the desert, using both hands to support himself on the sand.

"Sorry, the next path, you'll have to walk alone."

Nameless breathed rapidly, saying,

"Don't worry; I'll definitely come back."

Roger spoke in a low voice, "The next path is entrusted to me!"

He suddenly moved forward instead of retreating. At the far end of his vision, Aatrox's figure had appeared. He couldn't let Aatrox come here because Nameless had no strength left. If Aatrox arrived here, Nameless would undoubtedly die.

So, at this moment, Roger had to face him alone because...

They had already entered Alabasta!

"Come on! Aatrox!"

Roger suddenly roared, then slashed with his sword. His body, like light, rushed towards Aatrox.

Boom!

Ace's and Aatrox's huge swords collided, emanating a powerful force. The sand on the ground was lifted like ocean waves. Roger's full-force strike clashed head-on with Aatrox.

Poof!

Roger spat out blood. He staggered backward in another direction. His Observation Haki was already active, and he knew where Rayleigh and the others were at the moment. So, now it was time to regroup with them.

Then...

It was the final battle against the Demon!
