Chapter 7: The Dragon of Chaos
As Roy's voice fell, the whole world seemed to fall silent.
Akainu and Magellan looked at Roy in disbelief, unsure what the Celestial Dragon meant.
Shiryu's eyes, however, were full of unconcealed yearning as he looked at Roy.
He heard a faint murderous intent in Roy's tone and felt that this World Noble seemed to suit his appetite.
Stussy was taken aback.
She knew that the position of Warden of Impel Down had barely stepped into the top echelon of the World Government. Even the Celestial Dragons were not qualified to decide their life and death at will. She was afraid that Roy would do something irreparable on impulse.
In contrast, the Warden himself, Vice Admiral Bone Dragon, did not react, as if he were already dead of old age.
In the chat group, the discussion instantly exploded.
Tohsaka Sakura: "Eh, Brother Roy, what are you going to do?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Asking someone in person if they want to dedicate their lives? Tsk."
Uchiha Miyuki: "His Highness Roy's first target shouldn't be the Prison Warden, right? He didn't appear in the original work—does he really have a legend?"
Yamamoto Genryūsai: "Just because he didn't appear in the original work, the Pirate World is a real world! Since he is in a high position, he must also have his own legendary story!"
Yamamoto Genryūsai: "It's just that even if you want to kill him, you shouldn't ask him in person, should you?"
Esdeath: "Hmph, this man is no idiot. Let's just wait and see!"
Pirate World.
Ignoring the suspicious Akainu and the others, Roy stared at the Warden, Bone Dragon, and said: "I checked your information on the way here. As long as you die willingly at my hands, your crippled son can directly enter the World Government as a civilian Vice Admiral, without going to the battlefield, and will be prosperous and rich for a lifetime."
Immediately after, Roy looked at the rest of the people present: "Magellan, you will go straight to the Warden position and concurrently serve as a Headquarters Vice Admiral!"
"Shiryu of the Rain can be directly promoted to Deputy Warden and concurrently serve as a Headquarters Major General!"
"As for Akainu, you..."
After hesitating for a moment, Roy looked directly at the iron-blooded soldier who exuded a scorching aura: "You can be one step ahead of Kizaru and Aokiji, promoted to Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, and take charge of the Buster Call!"
As the words fell, Stussy clearly felt that everyone present was breathing rapidly.
This included the Prison Warden, Vice Admiral Bone Dragon, whom Roy wanted to kill.
Yamamoto Genryūsai: "I see. Mr. Roy truly has good methods. Those offers are impossible to refuse."
Esdeath: "Indeed. I see that all of these people are thoroughly impressed."
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Tsk... What a terrifying World Noble gentleman~"
Truly. As Esdeath said, Roy's offer was irresistible.
For Magellan and Shiryu, all they had to do was keep their mouths shut, and they would save years of effort and promotion time.
For Akainu, he could work 10 years less, fight the pirates to the greatest extent possible, and fulfill the 'Absolute Justice' in his heart.
Most importantly, the Prison Warden, Vice Admiral Bone Dragon, himself apparently did not resist Roy's conditions.
He was old and didn't know how long he could live. The future of his crippled son was something he had always worried about, and Roy had just given him hope.
Arguably, as long as Bone Dragon nodded, everyone present would benefit. Akainu and the others would not have much guilt either.
"I am willing to die for the World Nobles!"
There was no need to hesitate for too long, nor was there any need to question whether Roy would fulfill his promise.
Warden Bone Dragon fell to one knee, exposing his unprotected neck to Roy.
"Thank you for your dedication, Vice Admiral Bone Dragon."
With a gentle smile, Roy's left hand transformed into the black-gold 'Left Hand of God.'
"What is this!?"
Looking at Roy's strange left hand, the faces of Akainu and the others changed slightly—they seemed to feel a sense of oppression from their very souls.
Uchiha Miyuki: "It's going to start! It's going to begin!"
Esdeath: "What kind of great power will he get? I can't wait!"
"Whoosh—"
Under everyone's gaze, Roy's left hand, sharp as a knife, instantly severed Bone Dragon's neck.
Blood rushed into the air, and the flying head was caught by Magellan, whose face was sorrowful.
He wanted to shout a rebuke at Roy for his disregard for human life. However, this was the Bone Dragon's own choice, and Magellan himself was a beneficiary. Therefore, he truly couldn't speak, so he could only bow his head in silence.
And Roy didn't have the time to react to these people.
The moment he killed Vice Admiral Bone Dragon, he distinctly felt a strange energy emerge from the body, eventually converging into his own.
No doubt, this energy was the legend that belonged to the Warden of the Underwater Prison, Vice Admiral Bone Dragon.
As for the true posture of this energy...
"'Come—Leviathan, the Dragon of Chaos!'"
BOOM!
As Roy pronounced the true name of the Noble Phantasm, a thunderclap was heard in the clear sky, and the bright day instantly turned into night.
"It's getting dark? What kind of ability is this?"
Everyone in the chat group, Magellan, and the others looked into the air in surprise, and then their eyes widened at the same time.
"No... It's not dark!"
His teeth were trembling, his brain was shaking, and Akainu gritted his teeth and stared into the air, a line of cold sweat running down his forehead.
"It's the sun that is obscured—"
$$\text{GEYYYYYAAAAAA—!!!}$$
The roar belonging to the 'dragon' sounded from tens of thousands of meters in the air, almost deafening Akainu and the others.
Hundreds of kilometers of the sea were swept by the terrifying sound waves, and people on nearby islands looked into the sky in horror, as if the end of the world had come.
And the true posture of the 'dragon' was revealed in everyone's sight after this earth-shattering roar.
It was a Bone Dragon with a pitch-black body.
It was unusually massive in size.
With its wings spread out and visible from afar, a slight flutter could cause a tsunami of astonishing proportions.
The dragon's back could span dozens of islands, completely blocking out the sun's rays in the sky.
With its huge dragon claws, Akainu and the others had no doubt that it would be able to crush the enormous underwater prison into pieces.
The 800-year-old bronze walls of Impel Down were as small as toys in front of this incomparably huge Bone Dragon.
This... Could this be an Ancient Weapon that only exists in history and legends?
And this was the Noble Phantasm created by Roy, the embodiment of the legendary life of the Prison Warden, Vice Admiral Bone Dragon, in the form of an animal, a Phantom Beast, and a Bone Dragon.
Its full name was—
"Come, Leviathan, the Dragon of Chaos."
There were many legends and accounts about the monster Leviathan. What Roy got was the Dragon of Chaos from the Old Testament. It was said that because it was the first creature created by God, God poured a lot of effort into it, and because of its size, it was extremely large.
It was a monster that could crush the whole world with a slight turn!
Of course, it was nowhere near that powerful right now, but it was enough to surprise Roy.
Looking at the huge Bone Dragon that covered the sky and the sun, Roy had only one thought in his mind at this time:
"I'm invincible!"
