"Roan, can you handle so many people?" Luffy asked, concerned, as he watched Roan walk in front of him, facing Alvida's Pirate Crew directly.

"Don't worry, dealing with these small fries is much easier for me than for you, Luffy." Roan's lips curved into a confident smile, and faint, red-black light flickered in his eyes.

"Small fries? You brat, you're quite arrogant, aren't you? Do you think you're 'Pirate Hunter' Zoro?" Alvida's forehead was veined with bulging muscles, and combined with her ugly, boorish appearance, she looked even more repulsive. At this time, the name of 'Pirate Hunter' Zoro was very well known among the pirates of the East Blue. Even great pirates with bounties in the tens of millions were extremely wary of this man.

"Zoro? I am certainly not, but..." Roan's eyes suddenly narrowed. The next moment, the terrifying red-black light in his eyes materialized, roaring forth madly. "Remember this name, 'Heavenly King' Roan. In the future, I shall be the man who stands above the heavens."

"Boom!!!" Conqueror's Haki erupted. Red and black lightning raged wildly in the atmosphere. Every member of Alvida's Pirate Crew, including Alvida herself, who were affected by this terrifying red and black lightning, had expressions of utter horror. The next moment, their eyes rolled back, and they fainted.

"Thud! Thud! Thud!" On the deck, Alvida's Pirate Crew members lay sprawled. Alvida's Pirate Crew was instantly wiped out. Under Conqueror's Haki, the weak don't even have the right to look directly at the king!

The red-black light in Roan's eyes gradually subsided.

"Sugoi!!!" Luffy watched as Roan, with just a glance, made every member of Alvida's Pirate Crew, including that rude old hag, faint. His eyes widened immensely, and he shouted repeatedly. It must be said that Luffy's emotional value to his companions was quite high. At least seeing Luffy's exaggerated astonishment, coupled with his first release of Conqueror's Haki, made Roan feel very good.

"But this power, I think I've seen it before. When I was little, something similar seemed to have happened." After a moment of astonishment, Luffy's eyes showed a hint of recollection. When he was young, he and his two brothers were caught by some thugs, and when he faced danger, those thugs suddenly fainted.

"This is called Conqueror's Haki. Under this Haki, the weak will instantly lose consciousness." Roan looked at Luffy, smiling faintly. What Luffy was referring to was likely Fire Fist Portgas D. Ace's first awakening of Conqueror's Haki when Luffy faced danger in his childhood. But subsequently, Ace completely sealed off his Haki because he detested this power originating from his bloodline, Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King.

Roan offered no judgment on Ace's actions. After all, Roan wasn't Ace. He hadn't personally experienced Ace's pain, so he wouldn't stand from a god-like perspective and casually say, "It's foolish not to use power." After all, for Ace, his mother's death was caused by the Marines pursuing Gol D. Roger's bloodline, and in his childhood, he was hated by everyone for this bloodline, believed that he shouldn't exist in this world.

According to a more popular saying on Earth, this was called a psychological shadow caused by a dysfunctional family in childhood. Ace only wanted to break free from the influence of his birth family. However, if he hadn't sealed Conqueror's Haki, with Ace's potential, he probably wouldn't have ended up as he did in the original story. One could only say that Ace lacked the capacity to become a king.

But for Roan, Ace's choice, and the upcoming Summit War, were extremely advantageous. Whitebeard, known as the strongest man, was definitely the top figure in the current pirate faction. How much stronger could Roan become through Faction Fortune (Super Gold) with his demise? Roan was greatly looking forward to it. And Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit was also something Roan was determined to obtain. The gap between a top-tier Devil Fruit ability and some trashy Devil Fruit abilities was even greater than the difference between humans and pigs.

Regarding the initial saying, due to insufficient information, that "there are no trash Devil Fruits, only trash users," it had been discarded in the later plot. The upper limit of each Devil Fruit ability was already clearly written in the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia. Whether a Devil Fruit was powerful or not depended on the ability itself, at most combined with the user's stamina and physique, as Devil Fruit abilities relied on the user's stamina and physical strength.

Sabo, in the original story, immediately after eating the Flare-Flare Fruit, could unleash power no less than Ace's, even stronger, which was the best proof. But for every Devil Fruit user, their power ceiling was fixed the moment they ate the Devil Fruit. The rest depended on improving Haki and other powers. A powerful Devil Fruit, once eaten, guaranteed at least a Shichibukai-level fighting force.

Whitebeard was called the man who could destroy the world precisely because of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's ability. Roan naturally couldn't let Blackbeard steal such a top-tier Devil Fruit. Roan absolutely had to participate in the Summit War. From now on, he must quickly grow stronger to seize the largest piece of cake in the Summit War. Roan's eyes flickered.

"But Roan, you said you would stand above the heavens, that's really cool. 'Heavenly King' Roan, hehehe, a nice title." Luffy at this moment completely didn't understand the power of Conqueror's Haki. Compared to Conqueror's Haki, Luffy was more interested in what Roan had just said.

"The former vice-captain of the Pirate King, the man known as the Pirate King's right hand, had the title 'Dark King.' Since you want to become the Pirate King, I think 'Heavenly King' is a good title for me as your companion." Roan explained with a smile.

It wasn't that Roan had Chuunibyou to say such words; the key was that this was Roan's first appearance on the Grand Line. In the world of One Piece, the World Economic Journal's cameras were everywhere. Roan naturally wanted to choose a relatively good-sounding title.

Otherwise, who knew what kind of ghostly title those Marine guys would give him later? And Roan's method of choosing a title was also very simple: the Pirate King's right hand, Silvers Rayleigh's title was 'Dark King.' The three ancient weapons of the One Piece world:

'Pluton,' 'Poseidon,' and 'Uranus.' The title 'Pluton' already belonged to Rayleigh, and 'Poseidon' wasn't very friendly to Roan, who came from Earth. So, the title 'Heavenly King' was naturally a good choice. The phrase "to stand above the heavens" could also explain the origin of the title 'Heavenly King.' Furthermore, this was also a test for Roan.

"Detected increased bond with target, trait loading progress increased." And a line of text on the light screen made Roan's lips curl slightly. Indeed.
