One Piece: Lord of Disaster.

Chapter 165 Pack it all up! Let's overcome this together! Gaya Island!
How did he know?
Tom, a yellow-skinned fishman from Fishman Island, suppressed his astonishment and carefully handed the stack of papers in his hand to the boy in front of him.

Tom knew, of course, what kind of monster this boy named Roya was.

A bounty of four billion! No one in the world is higher than him, not even Roger!
Even going back eight hundred years, in the long history of pirates, only Rocks had a bounty higher than his!

But what's most terrifying about this boy, whom even Roger called a calamity, isn't his strength.

Rather, it was his unbridled nature, his pleasure in human suffering!

But, regardless of his strength and personality, how did he know about this blueprint, which was passed down only among the most outstanding shipwrights of the Water City throughout history?

There's absolutely no reason for it; the information has never been leaked!

Tom couldn't understand it.

But no matter how confused he was, it didn't stop Luo Ya from taking the blueprint from his hand.

When Rojas took the blueprint, Tom instinctively clenched his fist, though it was pointless.

This blueprint is a treasure passed down through generations of shipbuilders!
It was left behind to prevent anyone from using the ship that was completed in the Water City 800 years ago to do whatever they wanted. It was a backup plan left by the ancient shipwrights to counter the rampaging ancient weapons!
If this blueprint falls into the hands of a madman like Roya, it's impossible to predict what the world will become!

However, if this blueprint is not produced, the entire Water City will be destroyed again.

As Roja casually snatched the blueprints away, Tom closed his eyes in pain.

"Thank you."

Luo Ya picked up the blueprint with a grin and glanced at it briefly.

The paper is very old; you can tell at a glance that it has been through many years.

The cover of the drawing had one word written on it.

“Oh, Pluto…”

Roya raised the corners of his mouth. "Master Tom, tell me, what kind of power does this weapon possess?"

Tom's body trembled.

This guy even recognizes me!

Did he already know that Hades' blueprints were on him all along?
Where was he just now?

Test?
Thinking about this, Tom couldn't help but feel a chill of fear.

Thank goodness, thank goodness I didn't hesitate too much!

Otherwise, who knows what might happen!
Seeing that Tom didn't answer, Roja didn't care and opened the design drawings in his hand.

What comes into view is a dense array of text and numerous intricate and complex patterns.

This is really——

"I don't understand it at all."

Luo Ya shook his head helplessly.

Everyone has their own area of ​​expertise; he's definitely not cut out to be a scientist.

"Gaji!"

So, Roya turned around and shouted.

"I'm here! Boss! I'm here!"

During a break from his research, Judge, who had come to watch the excitement, hurriedly ran over, looking expectantly at the blueprint in Roja's hand.

Is this blueprint all the boss wants?

Blueprints passed down from ancient times eight hundred years ago!
After becoming familiar with the ancient technological information obtained from Ohara, Judge clearly knew that during the Void Century, there existed a period of highly advanced technology in the world!
The science and technology of that time were probably far ahead of this era!

So, what exactly is recorded on this blueprint that makes the Boss take it so seriously?
"have a look."

Roya casually tossed the Hades design drawings in his hand to Judge, "Let's see if it's real or fake."

Although Tom is unlikely to dare to deceive himself, it's better to be prepared, isn't it?

"Yes!"

Judge eagerly opened the blueprints and began to peruse them with almost greedy curiosity.

Just a few seconds later, Judge couldn't help but exclaim, "Boss! What is this? I've never even heard of many of these technologies before! Can weapons be designed like this?"

"So, it's true, right?"

Roya did not directly answer Judge's surprised question, but simply raised an eyebrow and asked.

"It's absolutely impossible to fake!"

Judge replied without hesitation, "I've seen many of these technologies in the Ohara archives! Those ancient technologies are definitely not something an ordinary person could forge!"

"That's good."

Luo Ya nodded in satisfaction.

Although I don't even dare to imagine what disastrous consequences would come if the blueprints for Hades fell into Roya's hands, what else is there to say now?
Tom took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Roya, you've gotten what you wanted. As a real man, you should keep your promise and leave here!"

Roya nodded in deep agreement, "Master Tom, you're right. I've gotten what I wanted, so it's indeed time for me to leave."

Tom's tense expression finally relaxed.

In that case, the future is uncertain, but at least Water City is safe.

but.

Roya then said, "Then come with me, shipwrights."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tom's expression changed, and the mayor and several presidents beside him also changed their expressions drastically.

"Roya! What... what do you mean?"

Tom instinctively asked in a startled voice, "Didn't you already get what you wanted?"

"That's right,"

Luo Ya replied matter-of-factly, "I have indeed obtained the blueprints and the shipwright."

"..."

Tom then remembered that Roja had said from the beginning that he was looking for shipwrights from Water 7!

So, it wasn't just about taking the blueprints?
That's right. Having blueprints isn't enough; he also needs the best shipwrights to help him build ships!

"No! Roya, no!"

Tom couldn't help but panic. "You can't do this! This island depends on shipbuilding for its livelihood! If you take all the shipwrights away, this island is doomed!"

"Oh I see!"

Roya nodded knowingly. "So, Master Tom, you mean it's better to die now than to die sooner or later anyway, right?"

"Well, it's not that I can't do it for you."

Tom's face froze instantly, then he screamed, "No! No!! I'll go with you!"

Only at this moment did he truly understand what Roger meant by saying that getting close to Roya would bring misfortune.

"great!"

Without further ado, Roya clapped his hands and said, "Well then, everyone, welcome to the Disaster Company!"

The shipwrights looked bewildered and helpless, unsure of what awaited them next.

No one had the right to object, and no one dared to object. All the shipwrights were escorted by clone soldiers onto the back of the giant snail.

Then, the people of Water City watched helplessly as the great fleet rumbled and disappeared into the horizon.

The mayor of the Water City stood blankly on the shore.

All the shipwrights were taken away, and the once-proud shipbuilding industry has now been completely cut off.

So, what should this city do?
There is no future here...

Roja didn't care about the future of Water City.

He was concerned with something else.

At this moment, in the palace at the center of the departing snail fleet.

"Tell me about it,"

Roya leaned lazily against the throne, looking down at the crowd below, and slowly asked, "Can it be manufactured?"

His subordinates lined up on both sides, with Judge and Tom in the middle.

Behind the two were the top shipwrights of the Water City, who were flipping through a stack of blueprints.

"This……"

The shipwrights exchanged bewildered glances. They considered themselves to be highly skilled, but as they perused the blueprints, they felt a chill run down their spines.

How can there be such a complex ship in the world?
Are you sure you're not kidding?
At this moment, only an old shipwright with white hair spoke in a hoarse voice.
“Lord Roya, this blueprint has been circulating in our Water City for hundreds of years. Although our ancestors warned us not to study it, there have been attempts to replicate it.”

He paused, then continued, "But we've never succeeded. The technology required by the blueprints is too complex, and the energy aspect is almost incomprehensible. Being able to replicate some weapons is already our limit." Roya glanced at the old man; judging from his words, this blueprint was the one he had given to Tom.

"so,"

Roya looked at Judge and Tom, "Is that so?"

"That's right!"

Tom nodded without hesitation, “Besides the fact that the technology is too complex and our skills are not good enough, there is another crucial factor: many of the materials and techniques recorded here have long been lost! Replicating them is simply out of the question.”

Roya then looked at Judge.

Judge, however, wore a pleased expression. "Some lost techniques are recorded in the Ohara archives, but others are not."

"But Boss, I have some great news! The technology for the most crucial energy system is also recorded in those documents!"

"By comparing the two, I've started to get a clue!"

"I knew it, Judge, you definitely wouldn't let me down!"

Luo Ya immediately grinned.

The Mother's Flame created by Vegapunk in the original work was probably based on those records in the data, right?

Oh dear, you can't actually be an archaeologist, can you?
Tom's eyes widened instantly.

not good!

If they really manage to overcome these difficulties—

"I'll leave the energy aspect to you, Judge."

Roya said.

Although Judge already has a heavy burden on his shoulders, there's no other way; the capable should do more, and the better days are yet to come.

"Yes! Boss!"

Judge nodded solemnly.

"Then,"

Roya looked at Tom and the others, "You guys will be in charge of replicating the weapons on that ship."

Energy is the heart, but for Pluto to truly unleash his power, he still needs his fist!
The weapon is your fist!

“If you encounter any technical difficulties, Judge,”

Roya could only look at Judge again, "Could you help me out again?"

"Yes!"

Judge, whose eye sockets were somewhat dark, nodded again without hesitation.

His hardworking attitude moved even Luo Ya.

Therefore, Luo Ya said solemnly, "However, other research progress should not be stopped because of this."

"Yes! Boss!"

The other research refers to artificial Devil Fruits and the replication of the Lunar race bloodline.

Oh, right, after witnessing Queen's modification of his abilities, Roja added a new research project to Judge: the modification of Devil Fruit abilities.

But it's just two more research projects. As for Gaji, is it alright?

Upon hearing Roya's words, the shipwrights from the Water City split into two factions.

Those who didn't know what the blueprints represented breathed a slight sigh of relief. Shipbuilding was exactly what they were good at, as long as they weren't captured and killed.

But Tom and the old man looked very unhappy.

Do you want them to manufacture weapons for the Disaster Company?

Moreover, it's a weapon carried by Hades!!

"So, Boss,"

Standing to Roya's left, Abel asked with some curiosity, "What exactly is this blueprint? Why is it so important to you?"

"No amount of attention is too much."

Luo Ya smiled and said, "Eight hundred years ago, a ship was built in the Water Capital."

"It possesses overwhelming firepower; it is said that a single shot can destroy an island! It played a crucial role in the war more than 800 years ago!"

Roya looked at Tenzuki Toki standing beside him and asked, "Toki, what was that ship called?"

Amatsuki suddenly froze.

Immediately, her expression changed. "Could it be... the blueprints for Hades, Pluto?"

Even she had heard of it—the weapon wielded by Hades, Joy Boy!
It is said to possess the power to destroy the world!

The design drawings actually survived? And they even ended up in Roya's hands!
During this period, Roya's actions with the pirate alliance allowed Amatsuki to witness the boy's madness once again!

Today, they only took a group of shipwrights from that island. Although it broke countless families, Tenzuki even felt that Roya had already shown mercy.

He seemed to be in a good mood, so he didn't destroy the entire island.

She couldn't imagine what kind of destruction Roya would cause to the world if he really built another Pluto.

"You mean, Hades!?"

The executives of the Disaster Company all changed their expressions drastically, and Dylan couldn't help but exclaim, "Could it be... the ancient weapon Pluto?"

Ancient weapons!

Uranus, Neptune, Hades.

Each of these ancient weapons is said to possess the power to destroy the world!
Doflamingo was dumbfounded.

Is an ancient weapon, on par with the Celestial Dragons' national treasures, about to fall into Roja's hands?
However, in the blink of an eye, Doflamingo's eyes darted around.

What weapons were mounted on Hades?
Fufufufu!

I'm really looking forward to it!

Becky, standing beside him, was also looking forward to it!
He can even use Hades' weapons!

Teach was equally dumbfounded.

Oh no, does he still have a chance to realize his ambitions?
Roya is being far too unreasonable!

"Isn't that something to look forward to?"

Luo Ya chuckled, "What kind of power do these legendary ancient weapons possess?"

"George, Master Tom, don't let me down."

"Yes, Boss!"

Gaji was full of fighting spirit.

"..."

Tom silently clenched his fists.

He was naturally against it, but when he looked into Roya's calm eyes, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

If we refuse, not only will Water Seven be affected, but Fishman Island might also be implicated.
and so.

"……it is good."

He finally nodded.

"great!"

Roya clapped his hands happily, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's start the research now!"

However, Pluto's research must be an extremely expensive and massive project. Are the gold reserves on the Sky Island enough?

I never imagined that one day I would have to worry about money.

Anyway, let's go to the Sky Island first.

Beside him.

Tengetsu stared at him blankly.

He might even obtain the power of Hades!
Is Roya in this era the same as Joy Boy was eight hundred years ago?

The only difference is that Joy Boy brought liberation and laughter, while Roya brought disaster and wailing.

In any case, a few days later, they arrived at Gaya Island.

In fact, even before arriving at the island, Roya had already noticed the sea of ​​clouds above.

The reason I came to this island is that if I go straight up from here, I can find the Sky Island without having to look for a way.
