They underestimated Is's strength. Even with so many of them working together, they still couldn't defeat Is.
"You think you can defeat me with this little strength?" Is said calmly and indifferently.
Although he was hit by several attacks during the battle, he possessed a powerful regenerative ability, and his wounds healed in an instant.
Therefore, even when Golden Lion, Roger, and others joined forces, they could hardly defeat him.
"He's too strong! How could we possibly be his match!" a member of Roger's pirate crew said in horror.
He never gave up attacking when Is severed his arm, but as time went on, he eventually gave up in despair.
He realized that Is was far stronger than them, and a conclusion came to his mind: no matter what they did, they could not defeat Is.
"Captain Roger, what should we do?"
Rayleigh gripped the blade tightly with both hands, watching Is warily, and asked Roger beside him a question.
Even with so many of them working together, they couldn't subdue Is, and now even he was starting to despair.
"A person's physical strength is ultimately limited, and we can wear him down sooner or later," Captain Roger calmly pondered.
“But if we take too long, the Navy will come too, Captain,” Jabba whispered to Roger, standing beside him.
"The Navy?"
Roger's face darkened at the mention of the Navy; he knew that the method of wearing down Is to achieve victory was impossible.
If they delay any longer, the Navy will arrive. If Is and the Navy join forces, wouldn't it be a piece of cake to wipe out the Roger Pirates?
“Is, I am not here today to steal the blueprints for the Hades warship.” Roger wanted to negotiate with Is.
"So your purpose in coming here is just to get beaten up?" Is sneered.
“No, Tom was my friend. Bondiwald killed him, and I just want revenge,” Roger explained.
"You came here to kill Bondiwald?"
“Give me a chance, Is. I don’t want to be your enemy,” Roger nodded in response.
"Don't want to be my enemy? You're the first Roger to make it sound so noble about not being able to beat me." Easton laughed out loud.
“Is, I only want to cause trouble for Bondiwald today. After I kill him, we’ll leave. We won’t take the Hades battleship blueprints from you.” Roger spoke calmly with Is.
Roger believed that the only way to defeat Is was to wear down Is's stamina.
However, if time drags on, the Navy will arrive. Once the Navy arrives, Roger's Pirates will be in trouble. Not only will they be unable to avenge Tom, but they may also be imprisoned.
“I will drag the battle out until the Navy arrives. At that time, all of you will be imprisoned, and I will also get the blueprints for the Pluto battleship. So what are your bargaining chips for talking to me?” Is said expressionlessly.
"It's a favor I owe you," Roger said solemnly.
“Okay.” Is said with a slight upturn of his lips.
"You agreed?" Roger asked, somewhat stunned.
He didn't expect Is to agree to the rules so quickly.
"of course."
"Thank you, Is." Roger nodded gratefully.
As for Roger, he was neither a threat nor a threat. After all, Roger was already strong enough, and even if Roger was allowed to grow stronger, Is was not worried at all.
After all, Roger will grow, and so will he.
Moreover, gaining the favor of a great pirate at sea is, frankly, a good deal for Is.
Although it's unknown what use it will be in the future, at least it won't be detrimental to him.
Bondiwald had to die, and Ish didn't care who killed him.
Since the opportunity was given to Roger, he could gain a favor in return, which he had no reason to refuse.
Chapter 177
The many powerful members of Roger's pirate crew were talking excitedly, all praising their Captain Roger.
But Reilly Jabba remained somewhat doubtful, believing that Is couldn't possibly have been eliminated so quickly.
"Wait... he's not bleeding!" Rayleigh suddenly remembered something and reminded him.
Upon hearing his words, the other pirates once again turned their attention to Is, who had been cut in half at the waist by their Captain Roger.
Sure enough, Is's body was cut in half at the waist, but not a drop of blood flowed out.
“This isn’t the real Is!” Jabba exclaimed in surprise.
"Wasn't Is killed by our Captain Roger?"
One of the pirates, recalling the words that had just belittled Is, couldn't help but swallow hard.
“Iss finished off Rocks, how could he be killed so quickly?” Rayleigh warned in a deep voice.
The Roger Pirates were well aware of just how powerful Rocks was, after all, they had almost been wiped out by Rocks once.
"If this isn't the real Is, then where is the real Is now?"
Jabba activated his Observation Haki and looked around, trying to find Is's presence.
"Aren't you going to show yourself, Is?" Roger asked, standing beside Is's "corpse," wielding a rapier.
"You guys are really interesting. I'd like to hear you discuss this some more."
Is emerged from the nearby forest and laughed.
"I can't sense his presence!"
Rayleigh saw Is walk out and activated his Observation Haki to sense him, but found that Is was not there at all within his range of perception.
Upon hearing Rayleigh's words, the other powerful individuals also used their Observation Haki to sense their surroundings. Indeed, as Rayleigh had said, no one could sense Is's presence.
It was as if he didn't exist.
“How could paper possibly have a scent?” Is sneered.
Is's mastery of the Devil Fruit is now extremely advanced. By covering his body with the power of paper, he can conceal his own aura, since paper is not a living thing.
The "corpse" of Is next to Roger formed stacks of papers that floated around.
The moment Roger attacked him, he used a wooden clone to hide in the forest, but the wooden clone was easily spotted as a fake.
He also used his Devil Fruit ability on the wooden body, except that no blood or organs were lost.
He looks exactly like Is.
Is did this simply to add some fun to this tedious battle.
"This battle is much more difficult than I imagined." Roger said gravely, gripping his katana tightly.
“Is is just playing some tricks; we can’t lose this battle,” the Golden Lion said slowly and deliberately.
"Are you waiting for me to make the first move?" Is said with a smile, looking at the two of them.
Upon hearing this, the Golden Lion charged directly at Is, while Roger attacked from the side.
Rayleigh and Jabba circled around to the other side of Is, while the other powerful members of Roger's Pirates exchanged glances and quickly rushed forward as well.
"when!"
Is's sword clashed with the Golden Lion's twin swords. The next moment, Roger approached, wielding his rapier, intending to strike Is again.
"boom!"
With a forceful push, Iss flung the golden lion away, his longsword held at his waist to defend against Roger's attack.
Rayleigh and Jabba were less than a meter away from Is, both brandishing their weapons.
"boom!"
The next moment, a pillar of purple flame rose up beneath their feet, instantly engulfing them.
The intense pain caught them off guard, and they forgot to swing their knives.
The other powerful members of Roger's pirate crew were also approaching from a short distance away.
Countless pieces of paper instantly separated from the ground beneath Is's feet, and these papers coalesced into giant snakes beneath the feet of the Roger Pirates' powerful members, binding them tightly.
"Shh!"
With veins bulging on his arm, Is swung his longsword forcefully, sending Roger flying.
In an instant, the combined efforts of Roger's many powerful members and Shiki were dismantled by Is.
"Damn, this is way too strong!" a powerful pirate exclaimed.
In almost an instant, their attack was completely thwarted by Is.
"You guys are too slow," Is said casually.
Having awakened his Sharingan, he possessed extremely strong insight, and the combined attack by the Roger Pirates and Shiki appeared exceptionally slow to him.
Therefore, he had enough time to react and counterattack.
"I refuse to believe that so many of us can't defeat you alone," the Golden Lion said with a ferocious expression.
"Lion Power Scroll!"
As the golden lion finished speaking, several enormous lion heads appeared around Is, surrounding him.
"Shishi Senkiri Valley!"
“Shuashuashua!!!”
The Golden Lion brandished two famous swords, unleashing countless golden slashes as he attacked Is.
Many powerful members of Roger's pirate crew quickly approached Is once again.
"Wood Release Tree World is coming!"
Countless enormous trees appeared on the ground beneath Is's feet, rising from the ground and gathering around Is's body.
It withstood countless golden slashes, and also destroyed the surrounding enormous lion heads.
Chapter 178
After Is agreed to Roger's suggestion, Roger immediately set off with Rayleigh and the others to find Bondiwald.
"Hey, you guys!" Golden Lion stood frozen in place, watching Roger's departing figure.
