One Piece: Lord of Disaster.

Chapter 173 Return to the New World! Elbaf!

"Ah ...

"Ton ton ton ton ton ton!"

On the platform behind the snail, two giants are eating and drinking without any restraint.

The mountains of food, and the barrels of wine piled up like another mountain, were being decimated at a visible rate.

"Not enough! We need more food!"

Brogy held up a huge bone from some unknown creature, spewing out bits of meat from his mouth while shouting loudly.

"Alcohol too!"

Crushing an empty wine barrel in one go, Dongli urged loudly, "Even without food, we can't be without wine!"

Roya, who was calmly fishing nearby, didn't even turn his head. "Give them to them."

So the clone soldiers brought more food and wine, which immediately tempted the two giants.

"Crack! C ...

"Hehehehehe! Why be polite with the enemy! After eating dinosaurs and fish for seventy years, it's finally time for a change of pace!"

The two continued to enjoy their meal.

On the back of another snail not far away, a panting Teach wiped his sweat and looked towards the giants. "Hahaha, so they can't beat the Boss, so they're planning to eat all our food as revenge?"

"They're going to be disappointed, hehe, Boss's food isn't what they expected!"

"They're impressive if they can finish it all."

Beside Teach, Doflamingo was also somewhat tired from the intense training, but he still mustered his spirits and mocked, "The one thing we don't lack is food. How many people in the entire fleet are actually qualified to eat?"

"It really is!"

Teach burst out laughing instantly.

Should I say that he truly lives up to his reputation as Roja?
In terms of being utterly inhuman, he is truly the most inhuman of all.

First and foremost, it's important to understand that the snail fleet always has plenty of food in its reserves.

However, all the ordinary residents living in this country, as well as the clone soldiers who were created, are not entitled to eat proper food.

Roya felt it was too wasteful.

Their food was a kind of food that Roya named "Soldier's Rations," a special pill developed by Naj, the pharmacist and Gaji's second-in-command and lover.

It can provide the human body with a large amount of various forms of energy, and can basically completely replace food.

Of course, since it is essentially a drug, it will cause a slight side effect on the digestive system.

But the quantity is large and plentiful, especially after the production line was set up, the production cost of the soldier's ration pills has become so low that it is astonishing.

Currently, within the entire Disaster Corporation, only the company's executives and the scientists under Judge are qualified to eat normal human food.

With abundant food reserves and surprisingly low consumption, these two giants could eat as much as they wanted without any problem.

So what Teach and Doflamingo saw in the end was that the two Titans' bellies were completely bulging, and even though they were struggling to swallow each bite, they were still desperately stuffing food into their mouths.

It seems they genuinely intend to retaliate against Roya by consuming the food provided by the Disaster Company.

"Hey kid! Stop looking around!"

Becky's shouts and curses came from behind.

Teach turned around with a grin and saw Becky kick Enel away.

Listen up! No matter how powerful your Devil Fruit is!

Becky, with her belly no less impressive than Teach's, said coldly, "Without strong physical skills as a foundation, it's all just castles in the air; you'll never become a true powerhouse!"

Enel scrambled to his feet, looking at Bege intently before silently nodding. "I understand."

"Fufufufu! Becky is seriously teaching someone!"

Doflamingo chuckled and said, "I'm just bullying that brat Enel, and I have to rely on Seastone."

"Hahaha! I'm really looking forward to Enel's future!"

Teach's eyes were full of mockery.

Enel isn't exactly a peaceful kid either.

That's a jackal too!
Once he has enough power, Becky will be in trouble.

No, in fact, if his power surpasses mine, he will definitely come to retaliate against me immediately!
But it doesn't matter.

Thief hahahaha!
Isn't that true for everyone?
A day later, the large fleet arrived in front of a huge mountain.

"Oh! Is this Upside-Down Mountain?"

Looking up at the truly towering, cloud-piercing mountain in front of him, Luo Ya thought, "It's magnificent."

The part above the halfway point was shrouded in clouds and mist. This must be the highest mountain in the world.

"Are you planning to cross this place and go straight to the end of the new world?"

Behind Roya, the giant Brogy, who had come to join the fun, mumbled between burps, "Just these snails?"

Beside him was Dorry, who had visibly gained weight. This guy's size was now approaching that of Brocky, who was basically as round as a ball.

The two haven't given up on the idea of ​​taking revenge by eating all the food.

"Don't underestimate them."

Roya stomped his foot.

Then, the giant snails rumbled forward and began to climb up the sloping mountain wall.

At the same time, a long cry suddenly rang out from the edge of the Red Earth continent not far away.

Roya looked in the direction of the sound and saw a huge whale calling out to the towering mountain wall that resembled the Wall of Sighs.

Luo Ya raised the corner of his mouth.

Just wait patiently, but judging from the current developments, you probably won't live to see it.

The giant snails climbed slowly and steadily, and soon they had carried everyone into the clouds.

After passing through this cloud and mist, the summit of Upside-Down Mountain can be clearly seen.

There, the air was filled with mist, which, under the sunlight, blossomed into a brilliant rainbow.

"You really made it up?"

Dongli looked around in surprise, while taking a couple of sips of wine.

To be honest, they've never seen the scenery on the top of Upside Down Mountain before.

Seventy years ago, the Giant Warrior Pirates mostly operated on the Grand Line. When they occasionally went to the Four Seas, they would go directly through the Calm Belt. After all, both captains were ruthless people who could fight giant sea kings the size of mountains with their bare hands in the sea. The sea kings' lairs were nothing to them.

Soon, the giant snails arrived at the summit of Upside Down Mountain.

It was clearly the summit of a high mountain, yet huge waves were surging within it.

The waterways extending from the East China Sea, South China Sea, West China Sea, and North China Sea converge here, and then forcefully merge into the waterway leading to the Grand Line.

The colliding waters and surging waves create a truly magnificent scene.

The snail at Roya's feet climbed to the very top of the mountain, from where one could see an endless sea of ​​clouds.

And beyond the sea of ​​clouds lies a new world.

Standing on high ground and gazing into the distance, Roya couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement and want to exclaim, "I'm the king of..."

"There are snails! Why are there snails here!"

On one side, along what appears to be a waterway extending from the South China Sea, a pirate ship is rapidly ascending.

Those on deck noticed the giant snail perched atop the mountain.

Therefore, the pirates' expressions were completely distorted.

"Wait! What's this snail—"

"death penalty!"

Roya glared angrily at the ship.

How dare they interrupt my enjoyment!

Is there any other ending besides death?
then.

boom!
Hot magma gushed out from the rock walls on both sides of the waterway!

Two small volcanoes erupted. Before they could even scream, the unfortunate pirate ship was smashed to pieces by the overwhelming lava.

"Comfortable."

Luo Ya slowly let out a sigh of relief.

Behind him, Dorry and Brogy both wore expressions of profound solemnity.

Besides thunder and fire, is there magma?
This guy's abilities pose a huge threat to Elbaf!

But unfortunately, this guy's personality—

Regardless of what the giants thought, the snails began to descend the steep cliff face on the back of Upside Down Mountain.

Upon arriving on this side of the new world, the weather suddenly changed again. On the way down, torrential rain, scorching sun, hail, heavy snow, thunderstorms, and all sorts of catastrophic weather events came one after another.

and.

"This is just right!"

Luo Ya raised the corner of his mouth.

I always say the climate at the park isn't warm enough.

Not only him, but the expressions of the two giants also became somewhat nostalgic.

They were also born and raised in this sea area, and these disastrous climates do make them feel nostalgic.

They're finally back.

Although it was forced upon me by that guy Roya!
Next up is Elbaf!

Harald! If it were you, it shouldn't be a problem, right?

A few days later.

"Oh! Is everything all done?"

Roya, holding a Den Den Mushi, strolled across an abandoned island.

The company's executives followed behind him, and further back were two giants, both looking around with equally curious expressions.

"Yes, Boss,"

Abel's voice, tinged with excitement, came from the other end of the phone: "All the countries of the White Sea and the White-White Sea have submitted to us!"

There are a total of 23 inhabited islands, with a total population of approximately two million.

"Is it really two million?"

Roya was indeed somewhat surprised by this.

It's amazing that so many people can be fed in the sky where resources are scarce.

If I remember correctly, the number of crops that can be grown on islands formed by island clouds is very limited.

"Indeed."

Abel said, "Boss, is there anything else I need to do?"

"temporarily unavailable."

Roya said.

Until a stable means of transportation connects the Sky Island and Qinghai, the White Sea and the White-White Sea are temporarily of little use.

Unfortunately, Judge didn't know much about meteorology and couldn't directly build a floating ship like the small sky island of Visalia.

After all, he wasn't as versatile as Vegapunk.

So, when I have time later, I'll have to go to Visalia to learn from their experience.

Before that—

"Let the Sky Islanders collect the seashells; they're quite interesting."

Roya smiled and said, "As for you, Abel, come back. We're going to Elbaf next. You don't want to miss it, do you?"

"Of course! Boss!"

Abel said excitedly, "I'll come back to meet you as soon as I've arranged everything!"

"Hmm, let's hand over Sky Island to that guy from Birka!"

"Yes!"

call ended.

So, you've already taken care of that whole sky?
Among the cadres, Moria pursed his lips.

What a terrifying fellow, Abel!

Roya is indeed an incredibly terrifying guy, but Barrett and Abel, Roya's two right-hand men, are also true monsters!

"But there really is nothing on this island?"

Standing atop the highest rocky hill on this desolate island, Roya looked down upon the entire island. "An island at the edge of the new world is so unremarkable."

This is Mercury Island, the last island reached along the Grand Line as far as the Log Pose can go.

It is the end of the New World, and naturally, the end of the Grand Line.

However, it is an island with nothing at all.

No wonder that for eight hundred years no one has taken the legendary treasure seriously.

They searched the New World inch by inch, finally finding this final island, but found nothing. Anyone would just laugh off the rumor.

Until he encountered Roger, that dreadful guy with a stubborn personality.

"Let's go."

Luo Ya smiled and said, "There's no need to stay here."

The snail fleet set sail again, heading straight towards Elbaf.

Along the way, the fleet passed several islands, and without exception, the Flying Pirates' flag had been planted in the ports of these islands.

It seems the Flying Pirates' expansion is going very smoothly.

Just as Roya was sighing like this, in the sky above this sea area...

"Hahaha! Has that kid returned to the New World?"

Golden Lion laughed heartily, "Judging from this direction, he came back directly over the Reversible Mountain? That's typical of him!"

"Admiral,"

At this moment, the man sitting below him, Hyde the Skullcrusher, the strongest officer of the Flying Pirates, said with some worry,
"Besides you, Roja is the strongest in the pirate alliance! His subordinates are a veritable monster! And his potential..."

"Hyde, what are you trying to say?"

The golden lion looked at him with great interest.

"Admiral, shouldn't we do something?"

Hyde gritted his teeth and finally spoke, "We can't just stand by and watch Roya expand and let it continue to grow, can we? That would be detrimental to your ambitions..."

Although the admiral used to regard Royal as his successor, that feeling probably doesn't exist anymore now.

After all, Roya has already earned the right to be on equal footing with him, and the Cataclysmic Company is now a true competitor to the Flying Pirates!
"Hehehehe! You're right!"

As expected, the Golden Lion did not punish him; instead, he smiled and spoke.

But before Hyde could even breathe a sigh of relief, the Golden Lion continued.

"But now is not the time."

"Are you worried that Royalian and others will put pressure on you?"

"No! It's because I want to see how that kid is going to deal with Harald!"

Harald, that bastard is a ruthless character that even Rocks could only covet but could do nothing about!
Thus, to the Golden Lion's delight, the Snail Fleet successfully sailed out of this sea area and entered the territory occupied by Wang Zhi.

However, Luo Ya was too lazy to greet them, and Wang Zhi did not disturb his interest either. The fleet continued to sail forward quietly.

Many days later, the fleet finally entered the territory that nominally belonged to Roya.

then.

The island, covered by a giant tree, finally came into view.

Elbaf, we've arrived.
