"Roger? I vaguely recall a rookie by that name."
During the gathering of Supernovas preparing to enter the New World. When the Straw Hat crew was stunned to learn that Rayleigh was the former first mate of Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King, it was Brook who nonchalantly spoke those words.
His bounty of 38 million berries had been issued over fifty years ago, a time when he knew both Roger and the Pirate King's doctor, Crocus. This indicated a formidable strength, proven over dec...

While it didn't cleave the clouds in two, the attack was still astonishing. Ryuma was bisected by the sheer force of the blow!
Ian's current strength was roughly equivalent to Zoro's after his two years of training under Mihawk, at least in terms of swordsmanship. His physical abilities, however, were on a completely different level, capable of surpassing countless individuals. To alter the very fabric of the environment…

Bullets and Cero could both pierce the skull, but the latter possessed far greater power.
"This is…" Within Ian's soul-sensing perception, he detected not only the departing soul of the pirate captain but also a green lizard-like entity intertwined with it, attempting to flee. He swiftly captured it in his grasp.
It struggled briefly before going still.
It possessed only basic instincts, devoid of consciousness. Was this the "dev...

"Phew…" Killer breathed a sigh of relief, watching Ian, in his Ulquiorra form, approach the center stage. As long as they weren't the ones acquiring the Vivre Card and the map to Thriller Bark, he was content.
Ian, however, had no such reservations. Regardless of whether his plan succeeded or failed, Impel Down, Marine Headquarters, and the territories of powerful pirates were not places Gecko Moria would venture lightly.
The Seven Warlords of the Sea varied greatly in strength....

"Speak of the devil, and he shall appear," Ian mused, observing the hundreds of zombie soldiers and animal zombies. Despite its sharpness and resilience, his unnamed 50 Skillful Grade Blades katana was nearing its breaking point. His increasing strength was simply too much for it to handle.
He needed a new sword, and soon, preferably before he reached 40% fusion and unlocked his first Resurrección, Murci...

Still, it paled in comparison. Any being from those three interconnected realms could, upon death, be reborn in one of the other two, achieving a form of immortality, albeit without their memories.
But could a being reborn without its memories be considered the same individual? It was essentially a new entity, raising questions about the meaning of existence.

For three days, Ian sailed, taking the opportunity to absorb the souls of marine life and bolster his strength. However, the souls of both humans and animals dissipate quickly after death, and his fusion with the Ulquiorra template was still too low.
His Soul Absorption had a limited range, so even in the vast ocean, a constant battlefield where death was commonplace, his fusion rate had only reached 15%.
He mused that if he were to travel to Loguetown or Wan...

Reacting with lightning speed, Ian's right index finger erupted in a blinding emerald light, unleashing a devastating Cero Oscuras. The massive beam, several meters thick, tore through the air, a defiant emerald streak against the encroaching darkness, hurtling towards the incoming fist.

Noir had a map of Alabasta in the shop and found the way to the city of Rain Dinners.
The luxurious Rain Dinners Casino, built with a massive investment by Crocodile under his Shichibukai status, was also located there.
Transforming into sand, Noir undoubtedly had the environmental buff of the desert.
Merging his body with the ground, it took Noir little effort to find Rain Dinners.

Roger had forgotten one important thing all this time.
Besides the assassinations, Homelander had done something else.
He had taken the company's Compound V and had A-Train deliver it around the world, injecting it into adults to awaken their superpowers.

He knew Madelyn wanted superheroes to enter national defense, but the Department of Defense didn't want super...
