One Piece: Lord of Disaster.

Chapter 187 Egghead Island! A Great Harvest! Roger in Action

"Seven monarchs?"

In the skies somewhere in the latter part of the New World, the Golden Lion casually crumpled up a newspaper. "Boring. How can any other idiots besides Roya be worthy of being ranked alongside me!"

"However, Roya—"

His gaze suddenly turned serious.

The legion, consisting of more than two hundred giants, plus Loki, Harald's son, means that Roya's power is already far greater than that of his Flying Pirates!

To realize the dream of ruling the sea from the sky, that brat Roya is already the biggest obstacle besides the government!

Although there's Roger, that bastard Roger isn't in competition with him!
too fast!
That kid Roya is growing up too fast!

We need to think of a solution!
On Beehive Island.

Wang Zhi is currently on the phone with two other people.

"Seven Monarchs, that sounds prestigious. Would Shiki and Roya be willing to share this title with us?" Captain John's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Ski needs no further explanation; he has never respected us,"

Wang said directly, "As for Roya, well, we've all witnessed his madness, and yet, I'm stuck in the middle of the two of them!"

"Luckily, I'm still some distance away from them!"

Silver Axe's voice carried a hint of smugness.

"Don't talk nonsense. If I'm killed, do you think you can escape?"

Wang Zhi said irritably, "The war in the new world will come sooner or later! We can only survive in that inevitable storm by banding together!"

"That's right!"

Captain John also spoke in a deep voice, "We can no longer doubt each other."

Wang Zhi couldn't help but curl his lip. You bastard, you weren't like this when you were choosing the territory.

However, now it is indeed necessary to unite as one.

"Perhaps we need to find a way to make them wear each other down."

In the land of Wano.

"Mwahahaha! Boss Kaido, one of the Seven Lords of the New World, sounds so cool!"

Despite not receiving the nickname "Quinn," the Beasts Pirates' chief scientist, Sien, couldn't stop smiling.

If the boss is the monarch, then these high-ranking officials must at least be dukes, right?

"It's just a nickname, it doesn't matter."

Kaido, with a baby on his head, snorted coldly, not taking it seriously at all. "Strength is the foundation of everything!"

"powerful!"

Above his head, Xiao Da and Xiao Hao clapped their hands happily.

Kaido slightly raised the corners of his mouth. "Yamato, grow up quickly! I need your strength!"

On Cake Island.

"Mommy, Mommy! A monarch? That sounds better than a queen!"

Charlotte Linlin was overjoyed.

At the next stop, Perospero was laughing so hard his tongue was practically sticking out.

Now, he's been promoted from the eldest prince to the crown prince!
On the other side, Katakuri had no expression.

What's there to be proud of?

Does Mom really think that our Charlotte family can rival the Flying Pirates and Roja's Disaster Company?
Everything else is fake; only family and real strength are real!
Katakuri's eyes were filled with the flames of fighting spirit.

I'm still far from it, but sooner or later, Luo Ya, I will take your place and then we'll have a real showdown.

Meanwhile, outside the international waters, a ship slowly approached.

"We've finally arrived! Let's get started!"

"Be careful, Roger. The Charlotte family's intelligence capabilities are beyond question!"

……

In any case, the name given in the World Economic News spread throughout the New World in the shortest possible time.

It quickly gained widespread recognition.

That's so apt.

The seven individuals each occupied a vast sea area, and all the countries within their territories had sworn allegiance to them. They had completely transcended the boundaries of pirates and established themselves as monarchs of their own empires.

No one has ever done this in the long history of pirates.

Even Rocks back then didn't have that. Although the Rocks Pirates occupied Beehive Island, the power they wielded was enough to move anyone.

However, he was still just a pirate, at most a terrifying pirate with astonishing strength.

This is quite different from the seven monarchs who established their own empires.

However, this time, the new world didn't really get excited.

After all, the entire New World has been occupied by seven monarchs, and everyone living in this sea area is their subject. What subject would dare to speak ill of their monarch?

Oh, of course, there are exceptions. In the seas conquered by Roja, there were no such troubles. It is said that the monarch known as the Calamity promoted the most thorough liberalism in the seas he ruled.

Of course, it's still just a rumor.

Furthermore, it is a great pity that while the new world had been completely transformed, other seas around the world were still completely unaware of it.

The World Government strictly controlled all newspapers published in other seas, completely blocking news from the New World.

Otherwise, if the true state of this sea area were exposed to the world, it would undoubtedly be another new storm.

In response to the current state of the New World, the Five Elders held their routine meeting in Mary Geoise.

"Those guys have basically finished their expansion. Next, they should enter a relatively peaceful development phase. Not everyone is like that bastard Roya who enjoys chaos!"

"Once their development phase is nearly complete, the plan to sow discord can begin. Seven monarchs? Hmph, many of them probably think seven is a bit too many, right?"

"Even though they are of equal status, a huge imbalance of power will inevitably lead to chaos. Take Roya, for example. People like Wang Zhi and John are already extremely wary of him, aren't they?"

"Speaking of Roja, he also drove Whitebeard out of the Sphinx, and his power is growing day by day!"

“There’s definitely something fishy about Elbaf. They gave Roya such a large mercenary army just for helping them establish contact with other countries in the New World. How could they be so casual about it! If Harald were that easy to talk to, Elbaf would have been under our command long ago!”

"Indeed, there must be something else that we don't know about. If we investigate further, it might be a good opportunity to deal with Roya!"

"By the way, what do you think of the Warring States' application?"

"A massive conscription? There has never been such a precedent eight hundred years ago."

"That's because the navy has never been forced to this point in its long history. The navy's losses are too severe now, and it cannot be recovered in a short time by normal means alone. I agree with Sengoku's proposal."

"Reconsideration is needed! Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures! We can offer money, power, and status to anyone who can recruit warriors with impeccable backgrounds and formidable strength!"

"That's right! The Pirate Alliance's actions have deeply shocked the world, and the number of new pirates setting sail has been soaring recently! To cope with this new situation, the Navy needs even stronger forces!"

"Perhaps, the power of pirates can also be utilized."

"what do you mean?"

"Since the Navy's forces are stretched thin, why not recruit some pirates to deal with the increasingly chaotic situation? And since we're going to sow discord anyway, why not try to make use of those guys in the New World, like John and Silver Axe, or Whitebeard who was driven away by Roa?"

"this--"

New world.

Neither the discussions among the people of the New World nor the secret schemes of the World Government could stop Roja's expansion.

While his giant warriors and snail fleet were conquering island after island, Roya and his party had already arrived at another island.

As soon as they approached the island, the extremely harsh weather seemed to be giving those who intended to set foot on it a hard time.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and ice blocks the size of human heads kept falling.

Giant waves surged on the sea, with huge whirlpools and even larger waterspouts churning the water. Some enormous water spheres even flew into the air, trying to smash any snails that approached them to pieces.

"Hey, hey, hey, what kind of weather is this?!"

Loki, carrying his spiked club, laughed heartily, "So the weather on this sea really can get even worse!"

He paid no attention to the lightning leaping in the dark clouds or the huge hailstones crashing down on him; they could not cause him any harm at all.

"It is indeed a bit annoying."

Luo Ya raised his head slightly. "Be quiet."

And so, without a sound, the dark clouds dissipated, the hail vanished, the sea returned to calm, and the giant waves disappeared without a trace.

Only the sun shines brightly and the wind is calm.

"This is outrageous! What on earth is going on with this ability?!"

Loki was dumbfounded.

Not to mention him, even the well-informed Donald and Brogy were utterly shocked.

Is it normal for the weather to change in the blink of an eye?
"Let's go,"

Luo Ya didn't waste any more words, but simply gazed at the island not far away and said, "We've landed."

The coastline is covered with dense trees, and the raised coastline almost completely obscures the view inside the island. Overall, based on first impressions alone, it is an unremarkable island.

But this is only on the surface, and only appears to be true.

The island's name is Egghead.

This is the Eighth Research Institute of the Naval Science Unit. In the original work, a world-shaking war will break out here in the future, and Satan, one of the Five Elders, will be executed by Im here for his incompetence. However, that is thirty years in the future. Thirty years ago, Vegapunk had not yet moved in, and therefore had not yet modified the island. So, the island did not yet have the huge upper floating island in mid-air, and it still looked like an ordinary island.

However, this ordinariness was merely a facade. Even thirty years ago, when Roya and his companions landed on the island, they were still thoroughly shocked.

"so big!"

Standing on the snail's back, Doflamingo stared in disbelief at the endless rows of buildings before him.

Inside the island, what was presented to everyone at this moment was an astonishing complex of buildings!
And what's astonishing is not just the scale!
Even more astonishing is that the island's architecture is entirely futuristic, with only a very small number of purely residential houses. The majority of the space is occupied by spacious research institutes and even larger factories.

"Oh! In terms of scale alone, it's no less than the Germa Kingdom!"

Judge, who had been specifically called out by Roja for his professional reasons, was equally astonished as he witnessed everything.

"Is this just the Eighth Research Institute of the Naval Science Unit? There are at least seven other research bases of similar size! Just how much research power does Vegapunk have under his command now?!"

At this point, Judge couldn't help but feel somewhat frustrated.

Vegapunk's scientific research capabilities were already far superior to his, and he also received the full support of the World Government. It's unbelievable what that guy is researching now!
“Don’t underestimate yourself, George,”

Roya chuckled, "You also have a major advantage, don't you? Vegapunk didn't get that much information on ancient technology, let alone the blueprints for Hades."

As we all know, scientific research in this world is essentially archaeology.

The more capable someone is of restoring ancient technology, the more advanced their technology is.

Meanwhile, the ancient technological data that Vegapunk obtained in the original work was taken into Roa's possession and became Judge's technological reserves.

"Hehe, Boss, you're right!"

Judge immediately revealed a smug smile.

No!

I need to work harder!
We must thoroughly understand all ancient technological materials as soon as possible, especially the design drawings of Hades!
That way, when we meet again, we can really surprise Vegapunk!
With dark circles under his eyes and a pale face, Judge thought this.

"However, speaking of which, how can there be such a research base in such deep waters of the New World?"

Abel was somewhat surprised.

Although he had also been imprisoned in a research base in the New World, that sea area was roughly located in the early part of the New World and was incomparable to this place.

"You don't even consider the monsters living in the new world a threat, do you?"

Luo Ya laughed and said, "So isn't this just making things easier for us?"

“Go, Judge, go and see what’s left in this base.”

Luo Ya had little interest in visiting factories or research institutes, which was a sign of his lack of scientific literacy.

So, we decided to let the knowledgeable Judge go and see for himself.

The research institute was indeed quite large, and it took Gaji most of the day to roughly confirm the situation on the island.

"The factory has been largely preserved intact!"

At this moment, Judge, who was giving his final report to Roya, had an obvious look of joy on his face. "They are basically factories that produce weapons or medicines. With a little modification, they can be used directly!"

"Oh, that's not bad."

Roya nodded slightly.

If it's just a factory, then it doesn't matter.

We have enough land and manpower now, so we can build as many factories as we want.

"But the most crucial ones are still those research institutes!"

George became even more excited. "It's clear that those scientists left in a great hurry. Most of their equipment was left behind, and they didn't have time to destroy it. There's even a lot of residual research data!"

"Boss! The Navy Science Unit is also researching artificial Devil Fruits! The scientists here are helping Vegapunk conduct related experiments!"

"Oh?"

Luo Ya's eyes lit up immediately.

"Vegapunk is indeed a genius; his research on Devil Fruits is quite in-depth!"

Judge exclaimed excitedly, "Although only a small, incomplete portion of the data remains, it is already incredibly insightful! Combined with the ancient technological information we have, Vegapunk is indeed on the right track!"

"I've got it! Boss, I've figured out where to start with artificial Devil Fruits!"

"very good!"

Roya nodded in satisfaction, "Just this alone makes the trip worthwhile!"

Even if what comes out later is a ridiculous artificial Devil Fruit like Caesar's, it's still worth it.

Judge's smile hadn't faded yet, and he continued excitedly, "That's not all, Boss. The research on artificial Devil Fruits is only secondary. The main research focus of this base is the gigantification of human beings!"

"what?"

Loki, who had been listening attentively, suddenly paused and asked instinctively, "What does 'human giantification' mean?"

Judge looked up at him, then said seriously, "The World Government wants to create an artificial race of ancient giants!"

Oh!
Luo Ya nodded knowingly.

So, the Numbers that Kaido will buy from the World Government in the future, right?

They were indeed the product of failed experiments by the ancient giants.

When I read the comics back then, I thought their power was already quite amazing. Were they really failures?

I feel that he is no less impressive than Oars Jr., the ancient giant who appeared in the original work.

Until Loki appeared in the comics.

This is the true power of the ancient giants.

Or, to put it another way, there were also differences in strength among the ancient giant races.

"What a joke!"

Upon hearing Judge's words, Loki instantly flew into a rage. "An artificial Ancient Titan? Those bastards at the World Government not only killed Rocks, but they also covet the power of our Titan race!"

There's no need to specifically mention the captain.

"This is trampling on the dignity of Elbaf!"

Donley and Brogy were instantly enraged, and then they both looked at Roya almost simultaneously.

This guy got those data, does he want to do the same thing as the World Government?
Roya glanced at Judge.

Judge immediately understood what Roya meant, and he chuckled, "Boss! In the end, the technology required for creating artificial Ancient Giants and artificial Lunaria is about the same!"

"so?"

Luo Ya's smile widened.

"There's very little data left on this aspect; like artificial Devil Fruits, it only provides a starting point,"

"We still need to refine this further," Judge said, "but I think it's already very close!"

"Not in a hurry."

"We have plenty of time!" said Roya.

Judge's cyborg technology, artificial Devil Fruit technology, and the artificial Lunaria race.

What kind of monster will be created by combining these three elements?
Oh, and the Devil Fruit modification technology borrowed from Queen.

If all these technologies were combined, even the Seraphim from the original work wouldn't stand a chance, right?

“Abel,”

Roya looked at the foundation of all this fantasy, his right-hand men, and asked, "Is everything alright?"

"Of course, Boss,"

Abel did not hesitate at all, "I will fully cooperate with Judge's research."

"very good."

Roya was very satisfied.

And this time.

"and many more!"

Loki suddenly shouted, staring intently at Abel, his tone clearly displeased, "So, instead of replicating the Ancient Giants, we're going to replicate this guy's race? Are you kidding me! Is this guy's race stronger than our Ancient Giants?!"

They've started comparing themselves to each other.

If we were to actually conduct experiments to create an artificial race of ancient giants, you would be unhappy.

Luo Ya smiled. "Which one is stronger? Why don't you try it yourself?"

"Let's try! The ancient giants are the strongest!"

As a result, Loki got a beating from Abel.

While Roya was enjoying himself, in the early New World, in Whole Cake Island...

The island was in complete chaos, with Charlotte family executives leading Homie soldiers in a frantic search.

"Hahaha! We got it!"

A man on the shore jumped onto the boat, laughing loudly, "Run! Charlotte Linlin is catching up!"

rear.

"Roger!!"

The angry roar was like a thunderclap.
