Starting as a Roger Pirates Apprentice

Chapter 569: Chapter 569: 【Young Dante】VS【Young Orin】

Can you imagine it?

What true despair really means.

[Linlin’s Body] + [Dual Super Strength] + [Innate Observation Haki Awakening] + [Supreme Conqueror’s Haki Talent] + [More-More Fruit] + ...

It could only be said that when two stat monsters reproduce normally, their offspring will almost certainly become an even greater stat monster.

When Orin used Observation Haki to peer into the timeline, he once accidentally caught a glimpse of such an existence. At the time, he stood stunned for quite a while before finally reacting.

Wasn’t that [Azure Orin]... you???

You were actually serious...

Maxed-out stats alone would’ve been enough, yet you even equipped him with a [More-More Fruit]. Orin genuinely didn’t know what to say.

This was clearly being raised toward the level of Joy Boy himself...

Perhaps because of his overwhelming natural power, Dante lost many ordinary troubles from a very young age.

From the moment he had only just learned to speak, even flying slashes coated in Armament Haki could not cut his skin, let alone injure him.

Born with Observation Haki, he awakened Conqueror’s Haki once his consciousness fully formed at age three. By five, he could already wrap traces of Armament Haki around himself.

As for strength, he could physically overpower adult giants, casually lifting small mountains hundreds of times larger than his own body.

Displaying power less like a human and more like a god since childhood, the World Government repeatedly sent the God’s Knights to seize [Child Dante].

Unfortunately, every attempt was repelled by the grown [Azure Orin] and Linlin.

This situation only improved after Dante ate the [More-More Fruit].

Not because the World Government wanted to give up.

They simply ran out of options.

"There are many monsters in this world, but they all call me a monster." — Dante

Because he was simply too strong, Dante increasingly found the world boring. With emptiness growing inside him, Linlin eventually instilled in him the idea of having children.

For Dante himself, it didn’t really matter. Romance between men and women was secondary — the main purpose was simply passing time.

In the battlefield watched by countless eyes, he pulled out a lollipop, unwrapped it, and placed it into his mouth.

Pink long hair fluttered wildly in the wind. Combined with his dead-fish expression and the candy resting at the corner of his lips, his tall figure stood there, calmly gazing at everyone present.

"Um... why don’t you all come at me together? I’m in a hurry."

"So I can go eat cream puff tower sooner."

Linlin wanted to say something more, but Kaido stopped her.

"Don’t you understand yet?"

"These aren’t your obedient children. If you hesitate any longer, you’ll really be killed, Linlin!!!"

While the two were speaking, Luffy was the first to rush forward with a loud shout.

"I won’t let you kill us!!! Orin’s son!!!"

Kid reacted immediately afterward.

"I’m not the kind of man who’ll surrender just because you’re that guy’s son!!!"

The two hot-blooded idiots understood Dante had come to eliminate them and instantly charged forward.

Especially Kid — being provoked by his enemy’s son was something his personality could never tolerate.

Law and Zoro were shocked.

"Hey!!! Luffy!!!"

"You two!!!"

Dante calmly sucked on his lollipop as he watched the two monsters of the "Worst Generation" approach.

But in Dante’s world, the reason Luffy and the others were called the [Worst Generation] was actually because they benefited from his presence.

That... was the true "worst."

"The straw hat... the mission says I need to push him a bit, so I can’t kill him directly?"

[Multiplication · Hundredfold Speed]

Easily dodging Luffy’s Ryuo-coated rubber punch, Dante instantly appeared in front of Kid.

Hmm... no need to hold back with this one.

The entire world seemed to slow down a hundred times over. Dante casually arrived beside Kid.

Before Kid could notice anything at all, Dante directly grabbed his head.

"What?!"

"When did you—?!"

After his magnetic cannon missed, Kid was instantly shocked. He struggled wildly, attacking in an attempt to escape Dante’s grip.

But against a divine physique even more outrageous than the Lunarian race, his attacks were completely ineffective. Dante stood still without the slightest impact.

Instead, Dante merely applied a little pressure.

Kid’s skull began to feel as if it were about to explode, blood instantly seeping out under the crushing force.

Seeing Kid’s eyes rolling back as if he were about to be crushed to death, Killer rushed forward to rescue him.

Yet before he could even see how Dante moved, his body was blasted backward uncontrollably.

[Multiplication · Tenfold Power · Planetary Throw]

Rather than crushing Kid and covering himself in blood, Dante simply glanced calmly at the sky.

With a gentle exertion of strength,

Kid shot upward like a reversed meteor, instantly disappearing into the clouds without a trace.

Dante then turned his attention toward Luffy. Instead of instantly killing him, he deliberately advanced at a visible pace.

Luffy’s Gear Fourth had just ended after attacking Bullet, leaving him exhausted and powerless.

Zoro immediately realized the danger.

He looked toward Law.

Law’s face darkened.

"No!!! Dante’s Haki is too overwhelming — I can’t move anything..."

"Then move me instead!!!"

If Dante reached Luffy like this, Luffy would definitely die.

Zoro glanced at Yami Karasu held in his mouth.

Now he could only gamble everything.

"Hey!!! Tra-guy!!!"

"Send me over there!!!"

At the same time, Dante seemed to sense something. A crimson light flickered in his eyes as he witnessed something extremely interesting.

"My old man’s power???"

He stopped walking and looked toward another direction.

A man with moss-green hair suddenly appeared not far in front of him, already assuming a Three-Sword Style stance.

"Hey!!! Dante!!!"

"That guy is my captain!!!"

Threads of ghostly aura flowed from Yami Karasu, merging with the demonic energy of the Kitetsu blade and surrounding Zoro.

The power belonging to Kozuki Oden also began to surface slowly along Enma’s blade.

Through Observation Haki, Dante vaguely saw three overlapping figures within the Three-Sword Style swordsman — his father, Hawk Eyes-san, and another dual-sword samurai.

"The rest doesn’t really matter..."

What caught Dante’s attention most was the faint Conqueror’s Haki wrapping around the blades.

It contained not only Zoro’s immature Conqueror’s Haki, but also that of his young father.

To masters like Kaido who truly understood Haki, the terrifying aura radiating from Zoro at this moment was unmistakable — yet it did not originate from Zoro himself.

It came from the black blade, now slowly enveloping him.

If sensed through Observation Haki, Zoro’s figure had already transformed into the phantom silhouette of a young man with long black hair.

"My father in his youth, huh? Now this is getting interesting..."
