One Piece: Lord of Disaster.

Chapter 196 The Mink Tribe Strategy! The Final Island Appears!
In Roya's ears, the giant elephant in the distance was roaring incessantly.

Although it appears to be just moving forward, constantly creating wave after wave of towering waves on the sea, it doesn't raise its head or open its mouth.

But it is indeed making a huge noise.

However, I couldn't understand it.

To Roya, it was nothing more than a meaningless roar.

Beside him, the members of Roger's pirate crew had complicated expressions.

It must be admitted that although Roja is a bad seed that no one can like no matter what, in terms of talent, in the long history of pirates, there is no one who can compare with him.
The configuration in all aspects is fully optimized.

It even has the ability to hear the voices of all things!
"I can't hear you."

Roger shook his head. "All I can hear is a very loud noise."

"That's it."

Roya nodded. "Me too."

From this perspective, what I possess is indeed the ability to hear the voice of all things.

Moreover, Roger doesn't seem to be that good at it either.

It's normal not to hear clearly; even Roger and Luffy in the original work couldn't understand what Zunesha was saying.

Only Momonosuke can communicate with Zunesha.

The ancestors of the Kozuki family did indeed have a close connection with this elephant and the country behind it.

The strange thing is that although Kozuki Oden also has the ability to hear the voices of all things, he cannot communicate with Zunesha.

As far as Luo Ya knew, the only people who could communicate with this elephant were Joy Boy and Momonosuke.

Anyone who didn't know better would think that Momonosuke was the new Nika.

However, that kid has completely disappeared from this world, so for the time being, there is no one who can communicate with this elephant.

"Never mind, it doesn't matter anyway,"

Roya shrugged. "Let's go get the stone first."

No matter what Zelda barks at the dog, all the mysteries will be revealed once they reach the final island.

"Okay! Quickly, bring the boat over there!"

Roger was so excited that his face turned completely red.

very close!
He's really close to his dream of so many years!
It's fair to say that once we obtain this stone, we'll be just one step away from the final island!
So the large ship moved forward quickly and soon arrived beneath the giant elephant.

"That's way too big!!"

Bucky stared up at the colossal, sky-covering creature before him, his voice and body trembling. "How can something so big exist in the world?!"

"The ship has indeed come close, but Captain,"

The ship's helmsman, Donchino, swallowed hard. "How are we going to land? Our ship can't stop on its back!"

"There's no need for all that trouble,"

Roya smiled. "Let's go, Roger, let's go get the stone."

Black fur suddenly grew from his body, and broad wings spread out behind him.

With just a gentle flap of its wings, Roya soared into the sky.

"That's right! If it's just rocks, there's no need to land at all!"

Roger's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly ran back to the cabin to get the rubbing tools. Then he said to his companions,

"You all stay at sea for now, we'll come back as soon as we get the text!"

As he spoke, he stepped on the air and soared into the sky.

The Moonwalk technique that Roya taught before can now play a significant role!

"Stay close."

Luo Ya laughed and took the lead, soaring into the sky.

Roger was not slow, following closely behind Roya. "The Mink Tribe lives on the back of this elephant. I heard they have established a country here."

"Don't worry."

"There's no one in this country who can stop us," Roya casually remarked.

"That's true, but Roya, don't do anything reckless!"

Roger solemnly warned, "Our target is just the stone; don't do anything that might cause trouble!"

He feared that Roya's impulsive act might bring disaster to the country as well.

It's already bad enough that they came to steal from others, but if they let Roya do whatever he wants, that would be going too far.

"Seriously, what do you take me for, Roger?"

Roya sighed and said, "I'm not some kind of demon."

You'd better not be.

Regardless, the two flew upwards at high speed and soon flew above the elephant.

What appeared before the two of them was a lush, green forest.

Luo Ya pointed to a very special tree in the very center of the forest.

The tree has an exceptionally dense canopy, beneath which rises a trunk shaped like a whale.

"That's it."

"What are you waiting for!"

Roger couldn't wait to stomp on the air and launch himself out.

Luo Ya naturally flapped its wings and chased after it.

Both of them were incredibly fast, like two shooting stars streaking across the forest.

In less than two minutes, they had crossed the edge of the forest.

"Oh! Is this the country of the fur people?"

Roger continued reading with great interest.

Below is a town built in the middle of a forest, and its architectural style is not much different from the mainstream style on the sea.

However, those walking on the streets were groups of furry tribes that combined human body shapes with animal features.

This is the Furry Principality, a nation belonging to the Fur Tribe.

Luo Ya nodded slightly. Furry is a good civilization. I should have time to taste its saltiness.

Ah, puberty, ah, hormones.

At this moment, someone, or rather, a member of the Mink tribe, finally noticed the two people flying across the sky.

Is it a bird?

"It was a shooting star!"

"Wait! It looks like there are two people!"

"Damn it, they seem to be heading towards the Whale Forest!"

"Report to His Majesty the Duke immediately! They are intruders!"

on the sky.

Luo Ya laughed and said, "It seems we've been discovered."

"Then let's hurry!"

Roger accelerated again, and Roya could no longer hear his voice clearly.

That's so kind of you, Roger.

They knew that the longer it dragged on, the greater the chance of a battle.

But it doesn't matter.

Roya hadn't originally planned to do anything to the Mink Tribe this time.

Yes, this time.

The snail fleet is on its way; we await their arrival to deal with this country.

The Mink Tribe is quite strong, especially with their trump card, the Sulong. According to the original work, this move doesn't even require a full moon; it can be activated through medication.

Besides, aren't the Mink Tribe and the Kozuki family very close friends?
Ah, that's when Kozuki Sukiyaki will truly shine.

Soon, the two arrived in front of the huge, whale-like tree.

"Where do we enter?"

Roger had already sensed that there was a space inside the big tree, and he was looking around for an entrance.

"Why go through all that trouble?"

Luo Ya crashed down like a meteor.

"Hey! Roya!"

Roger didn't have time to stop him; he could only gasp in surprise.

Luo Ya had already kicked the surface of the tree directly.

The surge of Armament Haki, at the level of internal destruction, silently obliterated the wooden structure in front of it.

Roya kicked a wide passageway through the air.

When he stopped, he was in a spacious area.

Before him lay a huge red historical text.

Above this historical text, the Kozuki family crest is also engraved on the wall.

"You're really going too far!"

Roger followed Roya and jumped into the cave, unable to suppress a few complaints.

His companions always complained about his reckless behavior, but in front of Roya, Roger suddenly felt that he was actually quite law-abiding.

"Tell me, is it fast or not? Don't you want to see this stone sooner?"

Roya just smiled.

"makes sense!"

Roger immediately beamed with joy and ran to the large rock in a few quick steps, his eyes filled with delight.

The third one!
Just one more piece!

While excitedly thinking this, Roger began to make a copy of the text on the historical record.

That's the time.

From one side of the space, outside the tightly closed door on the wall, hurried footsteps suddenly came.

"They arrived really quickly."

Roja raised an eyebrow. "Roger, you can't blame me for this, can you?"

Roger, who was busy making rubbings of the text, glanced up slightly and said, "Let me do it!"

hum!
The air suddenly trembled violently!

Streaks of black lightning burst forth from his body, instantly piercing through the tightly closed door and spreading outwards.

then.

It's quiet now.

"How gentle she is."

Luo Ya sighed sincerely.

Even the Conqueror's Haki was only released to the point where it was just enough to knock out the guys rushing over from outside.

Roger, who destroyed a nation's army in a fit of rage because his comrade was offended, would normally be a gentle man.

"Because there's no need to go too far!" Roger didn't turn his head, focusing intently on making copies of the historical text.

So later.

"Alright! Done!"

Roger carefully peeled the printed page from the stone and folded it neatly. "Only one last piece is left!"

He turned around and looked at Roya with hopeful eyes, "Where is the last piece?"

"Let's talk about it when we get back."

Luo Ya pointed towards the gate, "They're here again."

"What a bummer!"

Roger grumbled, annoyed, "Fine, let's go back then."

With that, he sprang into the air and flew back through the same hole he had just entered from.

Roya followed without any difficulty.

"Who are you!"

"Intruder! Don't run!"

As it flew up from the tree hole, a group of fur-bearers who had gathered urgently below were jumping up and down in a panic.

Someone actually trespassed into the forbidden area they had guarded for generations!

Among all the fur tribes, a particularly robust black bear fur tribesman suddenly roared and leaped into the air, jumping hundreds of meters high, pouncing towards Roya and his companion.

"Intruders! Don't even think about running!!"

The jumping ability of the fur tribe is indeed amazing.

"It's Brother Bill!"

"That's great! With the strongest army commander, Brother Bill, making a move, everything will be alright!"

The fur-bearers below cheered.

"The strongest?"

Luo Ya raised an eyebrow. "Then I'll spare your life."

It should be useful later.

With a light snap of his fingers, Roya caused the air around the charging black bear to suddenly condense into wind blades. These blades simply circled his body and instantly tore open huge gashes in the bear's flesh.

"Wow!"

Completely unaware of what had happened, Xiongxiong could only scream in agony as blood splattered across the sky before he slumped to the ground.

"Ok?"

Roger was somewhat surprised. "You actually went easy on me?"

"I've already said, I'm not some kind of demon."

Roya replied with a smile, then paused and quoted a famous saying, "Besides, this guy has some skill. It would be a shame for him to die here. Everyone has their time to shine, and the world might be waiting for his appearance."

"Ok?"

Roger paused slightly.

hiss.

Why does this sound so awkward?
Yes, that's very true, but it just doesn't feel like it should have come from Roya's mouth.

In any case, after shooting down the strongest man of the furry duchy, the two made no trouble and soon passed through the forest, passed the back of the giant elephant, and then landed straight down on the ship on the sea below.

"hold head high!"

During the descent, the giant elephant started barking again.

Wow! What a loud sound!

Roger covered his ears, looking somewhat distressed. "What's going on? Is this a farewell ceremony for us?"

Luo Ya's heart skipped a beat; it really wasn't that simple.

Zunesha is indeed hoping that someone will inherit Joy Boy's will and find the One Piece!

So, were the previous shouts a welcome?
but--

"So Roger, you understood?"

Roya shouted, "The ability to hear the voice of all things, does it have any other special uses?"

Are there any other hidden mechanisms that he is unaware of?

"How would I know! I was just guessing!"

Roger roared back, "It's only been triggered a few times! The most useful thing about it is that when you see the Poneglyphs, you can roughly understand what they're describing!"

Luo Ya nodded slowly.

Also.

If it could truly understand, it would have been understood long ago in the original work, and there would have been no need for Momonosuke to command Zunesha.

In any case, the two landed safely on the deck of the large ship.

As soon as they landed, everyone eagerly surrounded them.

"How was it, Roger!"

Olivia, holding Robin, asked excitedly, "Did you get it?"

"Of course! It went very smoothly!"

Roger proudly pulled out the stack of rubbings from his pocket and waved them around. "The third road sign is in hand too. Now—"

He turned to look at Roya.

Olvia also looked at Roya, having put aside all the calamities Roya had brought to the scholars of Ohara.

Everyone was looking at Roya.

"This is really..."

Luo Ya blushed slightly, "I'm still a little embarrassed."

"Stop keeping me in suspense, Roya!"

Roger was extremely anxious. "Where exactly is the last Road Peg? Is it on Beehive Island or in Shiki's hands? It can't be in the World Government's hands, can it?"

"Why,"

Roya smiled, reached into his pocket, and pulled out a stack of papers. "They can't be in my hands, Sapros!"

There was silence.

Roger was stunned, Olvia was dumbfounded, and Rayleigh and Jabba looked completely bewildered.

then.

"Eh!!!!"

The screams nearly killed the ship.

"So it was actually in your hands?"

Roger clutched his head and yelled.

The sudden shock left him momentarily stunned.

"I am one of the seven monarchs of the new century. Aunt Lingling has it, so why can't I?"

Luo Ya looked at the astonished crowd with a calm expression and said with a smile.

"You should have it! Roya! You should have it!!"

Roger finally realized what was happening, his face flushed with excitement, "So, now we have all four road signs!"

"Great!"

Bucky cheered along, forgetting all his hostility towards Roya at this moment, and jumped up with a smile, "We can go to the final island now!"

"bring it on,"

Roya handed the rubbing to Olvia, saying, "Take a look and see where that legendary island is."

"it is good."

With trembling hands, Olvia handed her daughter to Roger, then carefully took the stack of rubbings from Roya and the copy she had just received from Roger.

She had memorized the locations recorded on the other two rubbings. Now she only needed to decipher these two rubbings to obtain two locations for each of the four locations. The intersection of these four locations would be the location of the final island!

They simply laid the two rubbings flat on the ground, and Olvia bent down and lay on the deck to decipher them.

Her face was flushed with excitement.

O'Hara's long-cherished wish, the answer everyone has been dreaming of, is finally here!
Although she was extremely excited, Olvia was not in a hurry and answered carefully, word by word.

Then, she finally raised her head, and under everyone's expectant gaze, she said, "The chart."

"coming!"

Rayleigh, who was already prepared, took out a world map, spread it on the ground, and handed Olvia a pen.

Two red circles have been drawn on this nautical chart, one in the East China Sea and the other in the West China Sea.

Olvia's gaze swept across the nautical chart. For a long time, she had memorized the names of every island with a name on the chart, and even the names they had used over the past eight hundred years.

and so.

After a brief search, Olvia had already drawn a circle in the North Sea.

Finally, the South China Sea is also included.

Connect the islands mentioned in the historical texts of these four road signs in pairs, and the intersection of the lines will lead to the location of the final island!

and many more!

Roya suddenly discovered a blind spot.

Is this connection somewhat inaccurate?

This planet isn't a flat surface like a nautical chart; it's a sphere, so there must be many ways to connect it, right?

Joy Boy, is this a sign of your lack of education?
But Olvia didn't care about all that; based on the principle of proximity, she was directly connected to all four locations.

And at this point, the place where the two diagonals intersect is—

"How could it be here!"

Jabba was dumbfounded.

"No way! That Joey Boy is way too perverse!"

Rayleigh unconsciously pushed up his glasses as well.

"This is the place,"

Olvia licked her lips. "Each signpost has an address and some meaningless characters on it. Now that we've collected all four stones, the meaningless characters have connected to form a sentence, telling us how to get in."

"Go inside, this is the Upside-Down Mountain!"

Where the two lines intersect is the starting point of the Grand Line: Reverse Mountain!

"I've lived there for so many years, but I haven't found any great treasure!"

Crocus, the former lighthouse keeper of Twin Peaks, exclaimed with a look of amazement, "So, the One Piece has been right beside me all along?"

"None of those who set sail from Upside Down ever imagined that the final island they sought was right beneath their feet."

Luo Ya raised the corners of his mouth. "The starting point is the end point, the beginning is the end. Isn't that romantic?"

"Whether it's romantic or not doesn't matter!"

Roger burst into laughter, "My men! Let's go! This time, it's the real final island!"

"Oh!!"
