One Piece: The Opening Games Was Recovered by Roger

"Haki, huh? (⊙o⊙)"

"That's right!" Drew nodded in confirmation. This was the only power capable of striking a Logia-type Devil Fruit user's real body. The famous Teacher Kaido once said:

"Haki is the power that surpasses all others. Every true peak-level powerhouse without exception possesses overwhelming Haki."

"Wood Style: Binding!"

Seeing the grim expression on Aokiji's face, Drew acted decisively. A thick piece of wood shot out like a flexible serpent and coiled tightly around Aokiji, constricting rapidly.

"Spacing out during a battle? That's not a good habit, sailor."

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Drew's mouth as he slowly advanced step by step. He swung his Fangtian Huaji, aiming directly at Aokiji's face.

"DUANG!"

Just before the strike could land, a long sword intercepted the attack. A massive giant Marine appeared in front of Drew.

"Whoa, tall… A Giant?"

Drew muttered, then suddenly pushed himself backward, widening the gap between himself and the surrounding Marines. In that brief moment, his Observation Haki had detected five hostile presences locking onto him.

"Wood Style: Wooden Golem Technique!"

Compete in size? Drew was never one to back down. While his current mastery of Wood Style wasn't enough to replicate the legendary hundred-meter-high wooden golems once used by the God of Shinobi, Hashirama, a twenty-meter one was still easily within reach.

In an instant, a massive wooden golem, with a wooden dragon coiled around its body, rose up in front of Drew. The immense pressure it gave off caused both Aokiji and the Giant Marine to falter and instinctively take a step back. Looking at the youth in front of them—barely a teenager—Aokiji couldn't help but feel helpless.

With such strength, how could this boy possibly match his age? If Aokiji himself was considered a Marine prodigy, then what did that make this kid from Roger's crew?!

"BOOM!"

While Aokiji's thoughts were torn between awe and disbelief, the massive wooden golem charged forward. It swung its millstone-sized fist straight at the Giant Marine. The impact was deafening, drawing the attention of many nearby Marines. Their eyes widened in shock at the golem towering even above the Giant himself.

Meanwhile, in Drew's system panel, his "Anime Points" were rising rapidly.

"Demonic Possession!"

Drew spoke softly, and his entire aura exploded in intensity. A terrifying shockwave erupted in rings around him, kicking up thick clouds of dust. The ground beneath his feet cracked apart like a spiderweb, splitting in every direction for hundreds of meters.

Double power boost. Drew clenched his fist and felt the massive strength surge brought by the Demonic Possession state. His mood lifted—at this moment, his speed, attack, and defense had all doubled.

"Bang!"

In a flash, Drew appeared right in front of Aokiji. With a sweeping arc of his arm, he brought down the Fangtian Huaji with tremendous speed and power. Aokiji hastily summoned an ice shield, but the overwhelming force shattered it instantly.

Fortunately, as a Logia user, Aokiji's ability to elementalize saved him from a fatal blow. Though blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, the injury wasn't life-threatening—but he clearly realized that he couldn't win against Drew in his current state.

Seizing the momentum, Drew pressed the attack, forcing Aokiji to retreat repeatedly. Watching his young Marine protégé getting thoroughly beaten, Garp, still engaged in his duel with Roger, sighed in frustration.

He unleashed another burst of power, determined to go straight for the source—take out the king to capture the crew. He surged toward Roger, planning to end it by capturing him first.

But Roger…

Was not someone who could be defeated so easily!

Due to Drew's underestimated strength, the balance that once favored the Marines was completely broken.

Thirty minutes later, Garp looked up again—Drew was now single-handedly holding off two Marine Rear Admirals and Aokiji. His small, youthful frame seemed to harbor a monster within. Relentless and tireless, his sheer physical strength had clearly put the Marines at a disadvantage.

As their weapons clashed once more and the combatants separated, Garp made a decisive call to stop fighting. He gave Drew a deep, meaningful glance, then ordered a full Marine retreat. Garp knew continuing the battle would only result in unnecessary casualties. The fact that another monster had emerged from the Roger Pirates had to be reported to Marine Headquarters.

"Hmph, Roger, consider yourself lucky this time. Next time, I will capture you for sure."

With a cold snort, Garp stepped aboard the dog-headed Marine battleship and departed without further delay.

"Hahahahaha! Garp, I'll be waiting!" Roger roared with laughter. His eyes turned to Drew, full of pride and joy. In just one short month, Drew's strength had soared to such heights—even Roger himself was taken aback.

"Good kid, really impressive!"

"O(∩_∩)O"

"Drew, you freak! You're fighting three people at once now?!"

Buggy's floating head and hands suddenly appeared, face pressed up against Drew's. He stared him up and down.

They were both human, so why was the gap so huge?!

This made no sense!

"Drew, let's spar sometime," said Shanks from the side, now filled with fighting spirit. He was also in his early teens and couldn't believe the difference in strength. He had always been praised as a genius by Roger himself.

"Sure thing, Shanks."

"Hahahaha! To celebrate our victory—everyone, party time! *^o^*/"

"Yooo-hooo! Let's party!"

"′?)′?)′?)*′?)"

"└(￣ ￣└)(┘￣ ￣)┘!"

…

Joyful music began to play. The cheerful pirate song "Binks' Sake" echoed across the sky. As free-willed pirates, the Roger Pirates embodied an uninhibited spirit—and who could blame them, when their captain was such a reckless and carefree man?

Marine Headquarters – Fleet Admiral's Office

"Another monster, Garp?"

Sengoku, then a Marine Admiral, listened seriously as Garp's voice came through the Den Den Mushi. His eyes turned toward Kong, the silent Fleet Admiral seated at his desk. Sengoku continued questioning Garp for more details.

Five minutes later, Sengoku's expression turned grave.

A pirate not even in his teens who could overpower two Rear Admirals and a Marine prodigy like Aokiji—this was no small matter.

What made it worse was that he was a member of the Roger Pirates, one of the most feared crews on the sea.

"Fleet Admiral Kong, if Garp's report is accurate, what bounty should we issue for this young pirate?"

"Hmm... place a bounty of 100 million Berries," Kong decided after a moment of silence.

Even if Drew was frighteningly talented, he hadn't fully matured yet. Compared to the world's most dangerous pirates, he still had a long way to go.

However, in this current era, a first bounty of 100 million was already enough to show how seriously the World Government and the Marines viewed him.

"Understood, Fleet Admiral Kong."

"Sengoku, your top priority right now should be—"
