One Piece: I'm Destined to Be the Son-in-Law King!-Chapter 159: Red Hair VS Roya

In a small circle, no bigger than a playground, two figures zipped around like cats chasing mice.

"She's actually keeping up with me!" Limejuice thought in a panic. Even in the Red Hair Pirates, I'm known for my speed! But no matter how he twisted and turned, the Marine behind him stuck like glue.

And she looked like she was having fun, like it was a game of tag! Is she even using her full power?

Just who is this woman?!

"Got you!" a cheerful voice rang out.

"Riiip!"

The sound of cloth tearing filled the air.

"Sky Walk: Electro Spark!"

At the last second, electricity crackled around Limejuice, blasting him upwards. But as he flew, he noticed the fabric at his waist had been ripped.

That was close! One slip, and she would have had him!

Cold sweat trickled down his back.

Yamato stood below, a piece of cloth in her hand, a disappointed look in her eyes. "Almost!" she muttered.

"You're fast!" she exclaimed.

Limejuice didn't respond, wiping sweat from his brow. I should be the one saying that! Does this girl even know who I am?

Outside the circle, the Red Hair Pirates' top officers exchanged worried glances.

"She's strong!" one exclaimed. Limejuice was their fastest. In the New World, where strong people were common, few could match his speed. His bounty of almost a billion Belly proved it.

Where did this Marine come from? We don't have any information on her!

"Zzzzz!"

Limejuice's electric rod struck Yamato, sending a powerful shock. But instead of being stunned, Yamato just rolled on the ground, laughing. "That tickles!" she giggled.

The officers realized Limejuice was outmatched. Not just in speed, but in strength too.

"I give up!" Limejuice said, throwing his hands up. He looked at Yamato like she was a monster. This wasn't a fight to the death, but he knew she was beyond his abilities. Only the captains could probably beat her.

The Red Hair Pirates were shocked. An officer surrendering? The Marines were equally surprised.

They didn't know much about Yamato. She was always eating, always laughing, the type to get excited over the smallest things, like a whale spouting water.

Like a sheltered young lady.

That's how they saw her.

Who knew the idiot Roya brought back was so powerful, even defeating a Red Hair Pirates officer worth nearly a billion.

Wait... we often teased Yamato with food, like setting up rabbit traps or fishing for her with fishing rods...

The Marines silently clasped their hands together. Thank you, Miss, for not killing us!

"Wahahaha, I won!" Yamato cheered, running back to Roya's side, her eyes sparkling.

Roya smiled, patting her head. Yamato snuggled against him like a puppy. If she had a tail, it would be wagging like crazy.

Devil Fruits affect people. Ace was as fiery as his powers, Aokiji loved to sleep, and some poor souls ended up stuck in the toilet all day.

Yamato was the same, acting like a dog, enjoying being petted, curious about everything.

Wait, does this girl see me as her owner? Roya wondered, not sure whether to laugh or cry. He felt strange looks from the others, and calmly lowered his hand. He stepped into the circle.

As the boss, I have to say something.

Roya looked at Red Hair.

Now I understand how Ace and the others felt. Even though I know I can't win, I still want to fight.

Flames seemed to erupt inside him, threatening to burn him to ashes!

"Clang!"

His sword was drawn!

A powerful aura exploded outwards.

Without a word, Shanks accepted Roya's challenge, stepping into the circle. He couldn't back down, not as a captain.

"Fall back!" he ordered.

Both sides moved back, giving the two leaders room. The small circle was too small.

"So young!" Shanks looked at Roya, a wave of emotion washing over him.

Too young! Probably only around twenty.

So young, yet he already shows the potential to become one of the strongest.

Sensing Roya's power, Shanks was sure that in twenty years, this young man would be the future of the Marines!

"Let me see if the Marine's future is worth it!" Shanks drew his sword and walked towards Roya.

Roya walked towards Red Hair.

They went from walking to running, closing the distance quickly!

Without fancy moves, without dodging, they swung their swords, power and Haki exploding!

"Clang!!!"

The swords collided!

"Boom!!!"

A huge shockwave swept across the coast.

Smoker and the Marines raised their arms, shielding themselves from the blast, their eyes glued to the fight.

Smoker knew Red Hair wasn't going all out, probably just a casual swing.

But even a casual strike from a legendary Emperor is incredible.

"Zzzzzz~!"

Roya gripped his sword tightly. The blade trembled, sparks flying. His Haki felt like it was about to break.

Red Hair's sword, however, was steady as a rock.

Unshakeable!

So this is the Four Emperors' Haki!

Experiencing it firsthand, he realized the gap between them was huge. It felt like Red Hair existed in another dimension.

And he hasn't even reached his peak!

"Clang!"

The swords suddenly separated!

Shanks attacked, knocking Roya's blade aside. Gryphon, his sword, was raised high, ready to strike.

It's over! I can't avoid it!

Roya's eyes widened, the blade in front of him growing larger, like a mountain about to crush him.

He could feel Red Hair's aura locking onto him. He couldn't dodge.

The only option is to withstand it!

"Ooooooh!!!"

Roya roared, Rain Cutter rising to meet the blow!

"Boom!"

A deafening roar echoed, and the coast erupted, dust flying like ocean waves, engulfing everyone.

"Cough cough!"

"What happened?!"

When the dust cleared, the two were standing apart.

"Drip... drip..."

Roya's left arm hung limp. A large gash ran from his shoulder to his waist, blood pouring onto the ground.

His body was almost cut in half!

But Rain Cutter was still in his hand, his fighting spirit burning brighter than ever.

This feeling ...

Roya clutched his heart, feeling it pounding, hearing the screams of his body.

Not enough!

Across from him, Shanks looked serious.

He had planned to end the fight, but Roya had withstood his attack, and looked ready to continue.

No, his Haki is even stronger!

Shanks gripped his sword tighter.

"I acknowledge you, Black Hair. I've traveled the world, seen countless rookies, but none are as impressive as you!"

"Zzzzzz!"

Black Conqueror's Haki crackled on his dark blade.

He's using Conqueror's Haki!

Roya's eyes burned like torches. He leaped into the air, pouring all his Haki into Rain Cutter, drawing a cross of golden light.

"God Avoidance!"

"Time Lag: Cross Strike!"

Red and black Conqueror's Haki waves collided!

"Boom!!!"

Blinding light filled the night!
