One Piece: Lord of Disaster.

Chapter 191 A Cunning Scheme! A Legendary Showdown!

"See you later, Uncle Shiki!"

Standing on the snail's head, Roya waved goodbye to the island that was gradually receding into the distance in the sky. "If you encounter Roger, remember to call for backup."

Without any response, the floating island simply drifted away silently.

"Are you so impatient?"

Roya's smile grew even brighter. "Really, how could I bear to stop them?"

Don't worry, I'll definitely arrange everything perfectly for you.

Let's have a good fight then.

"Boss, shall we begin the search?"

Behind him, Dylan said respectfully.

"Let's just wander around and have some fun,"

Luo Ya casually remarked, "The grand show is about to begin!"

"Yes!"

Beehive Island.

"Hahaha! Everything went smoothly! Super smooth!"

Wang Zhi held a Den Den Mushi in one hand and a glass of red wine in the other. He laughed loudly as he raised the glass and drank it all in one gulp. The joy in his heart at that moment was the best accompaniment to his wine.

"They've split up! Shiki and Roya have each gone to a different area of ​​the sea, while Kaido and Linlin are working together."

"It went much more smoothly than I expected."

Captain John's voice, tinged with amusement, came through the Den Den Mushi: "So, is the target Shiki confirmed?"

"Whether it's Roya or Shiki, they're actually pretty much the same,"

Wang Zhidao said, "Given their cunning, to be honest, the chances of them honestly fighting the Roger Pirates are not very high."

"But comparatively speaking, Shiki is taller, right?"

Captain John said.

"That's right! Shiki is different!"

Silver Axe chuckled and interjected, "No one is more devoted to Roger than him!"

"The reason that guy was willing to go along with Lingling's nonsense this time is definitely because of Roger!"

Captain John laughed heartily, but there was a hint of sarcasm in his hearty laughter. "He really thinks he's Rocks. Even Rocks couldn't defeat Roger."

"So the next thing to do is quite simple."

Wang Zhi's smile grew even brighter.

"Lead the Roger Pirates to Shiki! Then, leave it to fate!"

Then, a large ship slowly approached on the sea near one of the islands in this area.

"So, what exactly does that kid Roya mean?"

Jabba stood at the bow of the ship, peering through binoculars at the distant island. "What are you trying to do by bringing us closer to this island and deliberately revealing our presence?"

"The so-called game has probably only just begun now, hasn't it?"

Rayleigh pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses. "But given how crazy that brat is, no one can guess what he's really up to."

"No matter what game it is, I must win!"

Roger gripped the hilt of his beloved knife at his waist, his eyes gleaming with an alarming intensity, filled with an unwavering determination to succeed.

We must get the location of the next landmark from Roya!

"There's really no way."

Rayleigh smiled helplessly, "It seems that whatever Roya wants to do, we can only play along to the end!"

"Who told us to follow such a troublesome captain!"

“Wahahahaha!”

Laughter echoed across the deck.

"Stop laughing!"

Roger's laughter was abruptly interrupted by Jabba, "A ship is coming!"

"Oh?"

Roger's laughter ceased instantly. He leaped to the ship's railing, shading his eyes with his hand as he peered out, simultaneously activating his Observation Haki.

"There's nothing particularly impressive about them; they all seem to be ordinary people."

“If ordinary people dare to come over when they see our flag, then they are already extraordinary.”

"It seems the game is indeed about to begin," Ridley said.

"Captain Roger!"

As the ship approached, a pale-faced man on the deck, looking somewhat apprehensive, mustered his courage and shouted loudly in their direction.

"Your pursuers have dispersed and formed a massive encirclement, closing in on you!"

"If we don't break through now, then we'll never run again!"

"Forehead!"

Roger paused for a moment, then subconsciously turned his head to look at Rayleigh, and then turned to the other side to look at Jabba.

All three of them clearly saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

This guy isn't one of Roya's people, is he?

Otherwise, wouldn't it be better to just have the fish people who follow us in the sea relay any messages?
So, is there someone else behind this?
"To the Aitwal Sea,"

The man said, "Captain John, Kaido and Charlotte Linlin are catching up from behind. Roya is on the left, and Shiki is on the right. Only the forces in the Etwol Sea are the weakest, led by Wang Zhi and Silver Axe! Once we break through their barrier, we'll be free to fly!"

Roger then looked at Rayleigh and Jabba.

The Aitwal Sea area definitely wasn't Wang Zhi and Silver Axe, right?

Roya himself revealed that the only ones chasing them are Kaido the Golden Lion and Charlotte Linlin, oh, and Roya himself, whose purpose is currently unknown.

That's all I have to say. You can decide for yourselves how to choose.

After leaving those words behind, the ship hurriedly fled.

"Yes, you're one of Wang Zhi's men, right?"

Rayleigh stroked his chin and guessed, "In this sea area, only he has this ability."

"It seems there's quite a bit of activity within their alliance."

Jabba smacked his lips. "I even estimate that it won't be long before they start killing each other. If that's the case, then I understand what Roya meant."

Olvia held her daughter, a hint of worry in her voice, "So, what awaits us in Ait Wall can only be the Golden Lion, right?"

"Besides him, there's no one else who could make both Luo Ya and Wang Zhi both wary and scheme against him, right?"

Rayleigh let out a slow sigh of relief and looked at their captain, "Roger—"

"Then what are we waiting for! Let's head towards the Ait Vol Sea!"

Roger laughed heartily, "There's really no other choice!"

Rayleigh and Jabba nodded slowly.

The mermen under Roya's command had been following them from a distance.

If I refuse Roya's game invitation, then those guys will probably surround me right away.

Now, that's actually the best option!
"No! Are we going to fight the Golden Lion again?"

Bucky clutched his head and screamed incessantly.

He still feels lingering fear from the battle with the Flying Pirates two years ago!

"Quiet down, Bucky, it's no use crying now."

The red-haired boy wearing a straw hat smiled and comforted him, "Get ready for battle."

"Damn it!!"

Therefore, the Roger Pirates did not hesitate any longer and headed straight for the Edd War Sea.

However, at that moment, the red-skinned merman climbed aboard once again from the side of the ship.

At the same time, on Beehive Island.

"Haha! It's done!"

Wang Zhi was so delighted that he even started dancing; his clothes fluttered in the wind, and his face was full of excitement.

"Shiki, are you ready for the gift I've prepared for you?!"

Wang Zhi had never forgotten the debt he owed for attacking Beehive Island and driving him away!
If you're so capable, don't back down; it would be best to fight Roger to the death!
Although the Flying Pirates had an absolute advantage in manpower, the quality of their officers was far inferior. Shiki simply did not have any officers capable of dealing with the monsters Rayleigh and Jabba.

If nothing unexpected happens, as long as Shiki doesn't run away, he will soon suffer a crushing defeat!
"Hahahaha!"

In the Aitwal Sea, the massive floating islands were deliberately kept low to make it easier to spot ships on the surface.

At the edge of the enormous island, the golden lion stood quietly, a lit cigar dangling from its mouth.

Amidst the billowing smoke, his vision suddenly became somewhat blurry.

Roger, let's put an end to all these years of fateful encounters this time!

If you dare to refuse me again this time, then you will truly only face death!

Please, please don't make any more choices that will upset me!
But if we could get Roger's help—

A smile involuntarily crept onto the golden lion's lips.

It doesn't matter if I immediately fall out with others!

Even if Roya and all the others joined forces, what could they possibly do?

No! We might even be able to try to fulfill the ambitions that Rocks failed to achieve!

The Golden Lion is eagerly anticipating this!

"Admiral! Wang Zhi just called!"

Behind him, his capable assistant, the Skullcrusher Hyde, rushed over. "We've spotted the Roger Pirates again! They're still within our encirclement! They seem to be heading towards the Edd War Sea!"

"Hahaha! It's coming this way? Luck is still on my side!"

The golden lion laughed loudly, "Then what are we waiting for!" He raised his left hand and waved it lightly, and the huge island immediately accelerated and flew forward.

"Roger!! I'm here!!"

However, it was at this very moment, on one side of the Red Line, at the starting point of the New World.

An emergency meeting is being held at the new Naval Headquarters, formerly known as G-1 Base and now renamed New Marine Headquarters.

"The battle between the pirate alliance and the Roger Pirates is about to begin."

The newly appointed Fleet Admiral Sengoku had some dark circles under his eyes.

He's been incredibly busy lately.

Not to mention the mess left by the pirate alliance's attack, the preliminary preparations for the large-scale conscription alone had already given him a huge headache.

Meanwhile, trouble broke out in the New World.

For reasons unknown, Roger's crew was suddenly hunted down by a pirate alliance.

Although Wang Zhi, Silver Axe, and Captain John did not participate, the remaining four were the real heavyweights.

"This is a good thing for us."

Having regained his rank of Admiral, but still in charge of the recruit training camp, Zephyr wore a cold expression. "When pirates fight each other, no matter who wins or loses, the power threatening the world will decrease by one point."

"What I'm afraid of is that the Roger Pirates might also be drawn into their alliance."

Vice Admiral Tsuru, the Navy's chief of staff, said in a solemn tone, "Although the chances of this happening are very low, it wouldn't be surprising if that guy Roya did something."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the office fell silent.

If Roger had joined that crazy pirate alliance, then who could have stopped them?
But at this point, there was nothing the navy could do.

All we can do is wait quietly.

Ait Wol Sea.

The Roger Pirates' ship continued forward.

On the deck, everyone gripped their weapons tightly, ready for battle.

Very close!

It should be coming soon—

At that moment, Roger suddenly raised his head, his eyes fixed intently on the distant sky.
"coming!!"

In the distant sky, a huge shadow is slowly emerging.

"Pull the boat over!"

"Jie hahahaha!"

At the edge of the enormous island, the golden lion roared with laughter.

"Finally, we found it!!"

Even though their eyes couldn't see clearly, their Observation Haki had already confirmed each other's presence!

"Immediately notify Roya and the others, tell them to come over right away! And then—"

"Roger!! This is the final negotiation, don't let me down!"

The enormous island is moving at full speed.

The islands and ships carrying both sides rapidly approached each other, and before long, the distance between them had closed to the point where they could clearly see each other's appearances.

The golden lion looked down at Roger, who was looking up at the bow of the large ship below.

Roger looked up at the golden lion bowing its head at the edge of the island above.

"finally come!"

Jabba pushed up his small sunglasses. "Shanks, Buggy! I'm counting on you guys for Olivia and Robin!"

"Leave it to us!"

The red-haired youth, sword in hand, stood imposingly in front of the white-haired woman.

Beside him, his red-nosed companion, though his legs were trembling, did not move an inch.

"Hehehehe! Roger!!"

A loud laugh descended from the sky, and the Golden Lion slowly fell from the heavens, floating in mid-air, looking down at the Roger Pirates below. "It's been almost two years since we last met, hasn't it?"

"Shiki! Get out of my way!"

Roger drew his beloved sword Ace with a backhand motion, the sharp blade pointing directly at Shiki. "You shouldn't have forgotten the outcome of that battle two years ago, right? This time, you won't have Roja and Kaido by your side!"

"Hahaha! It seems you still don't understand the situation, Roger!"

Golden Lion Shiki didn't care about the laughter at all, and even laughed it off a few more times. "Roya, Kaido, Linlin, Wang Zhi, Silver Axe, John, and the rest of you are on your way! Do you think you have the strength to defeat all of us?!"

To put more pressure on Roger, Golden Lion told a small lie.

But Roger found it somewhat amusing to hear him say that.

Having been schemed against and completely betrayed by both Luo Ya and Wang Zhi, what are they still doing being so arrogant now?

"What exactly are you trying to say, Shiki!"

However, Roger did not betray Luo Ya and Wang Zhi. Although they each had their own ulterior motives, the two did indeed help in essence.

"If you're just here to show off, then you can get lost!"

"I'm here to give you one last chance to choose!"

The Golden Lion descended again, extending its hand towards Roger with a very serious expression.
"Roger! Come to my side! Even if you don't join my ranks, it doesn't matter. Let's form a new alliance!"

"With the two of us combined, what can Roya, what can the navy, possibly stop us on the high seas?"

"It's still the same old cliché."

Upon hearing this, Jabba couldn't help but complain, "Can't you come up with something new?"

"really."

Rayleigh nodded in deep agreement.

No matter how many times you ask, my answer will only be the same!

In Roger's hand, black lightning suddenly crackled along the blade of the famous sword Ace.

"Shiki, I refuse!!"

The vein on the golden lion's forehead throbbed instantly.

but.

Are you sure, Roger?

He almost gritted his teeth, forcibly suppressing the anger in his words.

"Even if you're not afraid, what about your wife and your children!"

The lion's gaze locked onto the slender figure on the deck.

Do you want them to die with you?!

Before Roger could even speak, Olvia shouted, "From the day I went to sea with Roger, I was prepared to die!"

Neither I nor our children will ever be a burden to anyone!

"you……"

The golden lion's eyes were wide open, and its pupils were trembling.

"You wouldn't understand, Shiki!"

Roger laughed heartily, "We will never stop for our dreams!"

"Dreams? That inexplicable thing!!"

A violent aura swept across the heavens and earth in an instant; the atmosphere trembled, and the sea shook.
"Roger! Then you're doomed!"

"Who said that!"

Roger grinned, his equally ferocious aura soaring into the sky. "If I just finish you off here, won't I escape your encirclement?"

The two powerful forces collided violently, causing the sea to surge even more violently.

Do you think I'd give you that chance?

The golden lion gave a cold smile, and his body instantly began to rise.

The island also rose along with it.

He will continue to follow above the Roger Pirates until Roja and the others arrive to join him!

Although he was very angry, he remained calm.

Without the help of Roja and the others, the Flying Pirates would never have been able to defeat the Roger Pirates!
Is Luo Ya and Wang Zhi's plan going to fail?

Roger, Rayleigh, and Jabba suddenly revealed a strange smile.

"Golden Lion! Don't even think about running!"

Almost simultaneously, the three of them were launched into the air.

The immense force caused the bow of the large ship to sink deep into the sea, creating huge waves on the surface.

With the powerful reaction force, the three of them rose into the air like a rocket.

However, it's still quite a distance from touching the golden lion.

However, just as the three were about to fall, they simultaneously stomped heavily on the air.

boom.

A very slight sound.

But the Golden Lion's expression suddenly changed.

Roger and his two companions strode through the air, heading straight for him in the sky!

"Hahaha! You didn't expect that, did you, Shiki? We can use Moonwalk!"

Roger laughed as black lightning flashed across the blade of his sword.
"Wild Soul!"

Golden Lion instinctively drew his sword to parry, but at the same time his expression turned ugly.

Now, I'm in big trouble!
