One Piece: Lord of Disaster.

The beginning of Chapter 197 marks the end! Calamity engulfs the furry creature!

The enormous ship sailed against the wind and waves.

On the deck, the jubilant pirates sang and danced.

"Yohohoho, yohohoho!"

"Yohohoho, yohohoho!"

No one knows exactly when this song started circulating on the sea. All people know is that when they are happiest, most joyful, and most want to sing out loud, they should sing this song.

Roger, Riley, and Jabba stood arm in arm, each holding a glass or bottle of wine in one hand and food in the other, their smiles as bright as the sun.
"Bring Binks' fine wine to your side!"

Roger was already a little drunk, but he was still yelling in a hoarse voice, which was honestly awful.

"Like the sea, go wherever you please, ride the wind and break the waves!"

Compared to him, Rayleigh's singing voice, which was being held around the neck by him, was much more melodious, exuding a carefree yet bold spirit.

Given the contrast, it's understandable that Shakky would choose Rayleigh.

Talent is a very important bonus. Among sports students, having a background in the arts is very advantageous.

"On the other side of the sea, the sunset is bustling, and the birds' songs draw circles in the sky!"

Jabba was completely absorbed in the moment, swinging his legs higher than anyone else, and his smile was brighter than anyone else's.

Not just them, everyone in Roger's pirate crew was laughing wildly.

Even Shanks and Bucky were singing merrily.

They are on their way to the final island!
Luo Ya pulled over a chair and sat back, resting his chin on the back of the chair. The smile on his face was squeezed and distorted, making him look even more relaxed.

He didn't sing along, but he still enthusiastically clapped along with the rhythm, his arms wrapped around the back of the chair.

They're so happy.

Luo Ya raised the corner of his mouth.

It all reminds me of the Rocks Pirates from back in the day.

Although back then, the guys would often get into fights over some ridiculous reasons, they still had a lot of fun when they had banquets together.

Compared to that time, the only regret of this banquet is that there isn't enough delicious food. Roger is not as generous as the captain in this respect, as the captain was much more generous in those times.

"Roya, why don't you seem happy at all?"

Carrying a bottle of liquor, hiccuping, and reeking of alcohol, Roger staggered over and, quite unlike a seasoned fighter, plopped down on the deck next to Roya.
"We've finally found the location of that final island! The legendary treasure is about to be ours!"

"I'm very happy."

Luo Ya laughed and said, "I'm really short of money right now, so I hope that legendary treasure won't disappoint me."

Joy Boy, if you're going to give me some bullshit about the real treasure being the camaraderie you've built with your companions, I'll first kill your pet elephant, and then I'll dismantle your robot.

"makes sense!"

Roger's eyes also held a hint of anticipation. "Hahaha! That must be an astronomical treasure! After all, everyone's saying that all the power, authority, and wealth in the world is buried there!"

He was a pirate too, and no pirate is uninterested in treasure.

"but,"

Roger paused, and when he looked at Roya again, the drunkenness in his eyes had slowly dissipated. "Roya, I still don't quite understand. If you wanted to find the final island, it wouldn't have taken much effort at all, would it?"

After the initial excitement subsided, Roger realized something very strange.

Does Roja need the Roger Pirates to find the final island?

The signposts for Fishman Island, and the signposts he finally took out, Roya alone had two of them.

The mink tribe's possession was essentially undefended for Roya; he could get it whenever he wanted.

The only slightly troublesome thing is the portion that Charlotte Linlin has, but even if Roja didn't know before, he did after this incident, so it won't be difficult for him to get his hands on it again.

So, wouldn't he be able to easily find the final island on his own?

Then why bring them along?
Why share that great treasure with them?
"Because,"

Roya raised the corners of his mouth. "This is not the end, Roger. This is not even the beginning of the end, but merely the end of the beginning."

Roya's words were a bit convoluted, but Roger still understood what he meant.

Roger's expression turned serious.

Does this mean that even if the legendary treasure is found and the secret of the blank century is unlocked, everything still cannot end? Can one's ultimate dream still not be realized?

"Roya, what exactly do you know?"

Roger's tone became more serious.

"Don't worry about it, Roger."

Roya simply stretched leisurely. "What you need to do now is to happily head to the final island."

"Then, let's create a brand new era."

"A new era?"

Roger gently savored those words.

What exactly is Roya plotting?
I can't figure it out, I don't understand it.

"Oh, Roger! Look!"

As Roger was pondering this, Roya suddenly patted him on the shoulder, his tone tinged with surprise.

Roger instinctively turned his head and saw that, probably spurred on by the singing and dancing uncles, his precious daughter Robin was standing up shakily and happily wiggling her body in her special baby chair.

Beside Robin, Olvia was overjoyed and subconsciously looked at Roger. The couple met each other's eyes and then smiled happily at the same time.

They're so loving.

What does it feel like to be in love?

I didn't have the chance to experience it in my previous life, so I'll definitely miss out in this one. I'm more interested in hate than love.

but.

Roya watched with great interest as Olvia excitedly picked up and kissed little Robin repeatedly, giggling all the while.

Their natural physical constitution is much worse than Yamato's.

By the time Yamato was that age, he could already play frisbee with himself; those two short little legs made a whooshing sound when he ran.

However, comparing Robin to Yamato is like comparing Roger to Kaido – the one who gets fatter first isn't considered fat, but the one who gets fatter later is the one who can overpower the other.

The two girls shouldn't be too far apart in terms of talent.

"What a lovely child,"

Luo Ya smiled and said, "Can I hug her?"

"Of course not!"

Roger didn't hesitate at all and flatly refused, saying, "You're too dangerous, kid!"

"I've already told you, I'm not some kind of demon,"

Luo Ya could only sigh helplessly, "No matter what, I wouldn't lay a hand on a child like that, would I? The world has misunderstood me too much."

Roger's lips twitched slightly. "How could he say that?"

Regardless, the Roger Pirates were indeed rapidly advancing towards the final island.

Well, although we're currently sailing on the territory of the Flying Pirates, we're still swaggering around. After all, the Golden Lion, having suffered a crushing defeat, is unlikely to come looking for trouble again.

But going back a little earlier, there were many new marlins.

"So, the final result was the complete defeat of the Flying Pirates?"

Sengoku frowned as he looked at the intelligence report in his hand. "What are those guys up to? Their combined strength is far superior to that of the Roger Pirates, isn't it?"

"Hahaha! Roger isn't so easily defeated!"

On the opposite sofa, unlike Zephyr, Garp, who still only held the rank of Vice Admiral, refused to accept the position of Admiral no matter how much Sengoku pleaded, begged, or threatened him. He ate senbei while laughing and saying, "Was that Golden Lion guy badly beaten up?"

"You bastard Garp, are you happy for Roger's victory?"

Sengoku glared at his old friend, "And put down my treasured senbei!" "Hahaha! Don't be so stingy, Sengoku! So, what happened to Golden Lion?"

Fleet Admiral Sengoku slammed a handful of documents on the table in annoyance. "The main force has been wiped out, and almost all the senior officers have been killed. Now the Flying Pirates are just an empty shell."

“Wahahahaha!”

Hero Garp laughed heartily.

But before he could say anything more, Sengoku said fiercely, "If you say again that he is worthy of Roger, then get the hell out of here!"

"Hahaha! As expected of the Warring States period!"

Garp scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, but the smile in his eyes faded slightly, and his tone became serious, "However, this is also a good thing for us."

"It's a good thing, but the pirates' losses are far too small compared to what was expected."

Sengoku sighed. "So what if all the executives are dead? As long as Shiki is alive, the Flying Pirates won't disband. They'll still be a huge threat to us and the government!"

"The massive conscription is now imperative! In this era teeming with pirates, we need more forces of justice!"

The naval hero shrugged, neither confirming nor denying.

And then, a little later...

In a certain sea area within the territory of the Flying Pirates, a colossal, lawless elephant continues its relentless march forward.

Meanwhile, giant snails had already crushed the waves created by the giant elephant and quickly arrived beneath it.

"That's way too big!"

Loki looked up, dumbfounded.

Its height is almost comparable to that of Adam, the precious tree that supports Elbaf!

wrong!

Its legs are still walking in the sea!
If you include his legs, he's even taller than Adam the Tree!

"Are there really such huge creatures in the world?"

Moria, who had always been somewhat estranged from the others, was also stunned.

How amazing it would be if we could turn this thing into a zombie!
"It is called Elephant Lord!"

Contrary to his rugged appearance, the very knowledgeable Teach spoke up at the right moment, "Some say it started a thousand years ago, some say it started during the blank century, but what is certain is that it has never stopped moving forward throughout the long history."

Behind them, mercenaries Donley and Brogy looked up at the elephant, their eyes filled with a hint of nostalgia.

They had encountered this elephant when they were young, but they had never landed on it. Even for giants, this elephant was far too tall.

Will we actually be able to get up there this time?

"Should we take care of this guy?"

Doflamingo clicked his tongue in amazement, "It's so big, it wouldn't be easy to take it down."

"Never mind that, that's what the boss said."

Dylan calmly said, "No matter what we do, it won't react."

According to the Boss, the giant elephant is atoning for its sins.

It will not stop walking until ordered by someone qualified to command it.

"In short, this time the target is the country on the elephant's back, right?"

Becky scratched her face, somewhat doubtful. "But really? How do they survive on an elephant's back? What do they eat?"

"Are you questioning the Boss's orders, Becky?"

Barrett finally turned around, but his eyes were as cold as knives, and his tone was filled with murderous intent.

"Just curiosity, nothing more!"

Becky cursed inwardly while forcing a smile on her face.

Barrett treats Roya's words like law, not only for himself but also forbidding anyone else from denying them.

“It exists!”

"It's Teach again, the erudite Teach," he said with a smile. "They're a race called the Mink Tribe, said to have appearances that are a combination of humans and various animals, and they're incredibly strong."

"Go up and take a look, and you'll find out."

Abel said slowly, "Let's go."

"Ah."

Dylan nodded slightly.

So the giant snails started moving with a rumbling sound.

They were already quite large, but in front of the elephant, they were still like chicks, only able to slowly climb up the elephant's legs.

However, this action made the three giants on their backs feel somewhat uncomfortable.

The devices originally designed for ordinary people to use during flips were completely ineffective for Loki and his companions.

They could only cling awkwardly to the edge of the platform to keep from falling.

Fortunately, the snails climbed up at a decent speed, and soon they were on the elephant's back.

When a lush forest appeared before them, Doflamingo couldn't help but marvel, "There really is one? How did this forest grow like that?"

Becky nodded in deep agreement.

Is this reasonable?
"That kind of thing doesn't matter,"

Dylan simply said indifferently, "Let's go, let's get down to business."

The snails kept moving forward without stopping for a moment, rumbling along.

Trees that had grown for countless years were easily pushed down and crushed, and wide passages were instantly cleared.

Such a huge commotion naturally attracted the attention of the residents living in the forest.

Dark figures leaped through the woods.

"Intruders! Intruders again!"

"Quickly report to His Majesty the Duke! They might be accomplices of those two from before!"

"Oh! Our whereabouts have been exposed!"

Teach grinned. "Dylan, are we just going to ignore them?"

"Isn't this just right?"

Dylan calmly said, "Let them gather all their strength and then resolve this all at once."

"Let me, the grandpa, do it!"

Loki, beaming with excitement, hoisted his spiked club onto his shoulder. "Perfect timing to test out my newfound power!"

That brief encounter with Roger before could hardly be considered an experiment; he was sent flying without even touching him.

This time, it's different!

Soon enough, the Duke's mansion of the Woolly Duchy arrived.

"Duke Goat Sihan! It's terrible! The invaders are here again! This time, it's an army!!"

"what?"

The plump, round-bodied sheep-fur tribe, whose supreme ruler, Duke Goat Sihan, wearing a crown, was immediately taken aback.

How long had it been since this country had been invaded?

It was impossible to reach the island using a pointer to begin with, and landing on it was even more difficult. Zou has had virtually no visitors since ancient times.

What's going on? Why are we being invaded by two waves of attackers in a row?
But now is not the time to lament such things!

The Duke hurriedly ordered, "Quickly! Assemble the warriors immediately! We cannot allow the invaders to run rampant!"
