One Piece: Lord of Disaster.

Chapter 200: The Pirate King!
"Come on, Roger, give me a smile."

Roya pointed the Den Den Mushi at Roger, "This is a photo that's going to be circulated all over the world, so be a little more serious."

"Get out of here after you're done taking the photos."

After the conversation, Roger now had no friendly attitude towards Roya, standing in the middle of several gold mountains and speaking coldly.

"Oh, how ungrateful!"

Luo Ya sighed, "They treated me with such respect before, but now that they've squeezed out all my usefulness, they're just going to kick me aside?"

Roger smirked.

I really want to chop this guy's tongue off!

"To enhance credibility, let's take a few more photos of the treasure."

Luo Ya jumped up and snapped several more photos of the golden mountains below.

Honestly, it's quite spectacular.

The Golden Bell on the Sky Island and the treasures of the Eight Treasures Navy were already magnificent enough, but compared to the mountains of gold and silver jewels piled up before us, they were utterly lacking in grandeur and could be described as meager.

"Very good, that's enough."

Roya put away the Den Den Mushi with satisfaction.

I don't understand how Roger in the original story proved he found the final island, or did he take a picture?
But whether it can be proven to be the final island is another matter. Roya felt that these photos should be enough to prove that Roger had indeed found an unprecedented treasure.

If these photos were to appear before the world, they would drive everyone crazy in an instant.

"Take as much treasure as you can, the rest is mine."

Luo Ya smiled and said, "I'll send someone to pick it up later."

"Wait! Roya!"

Roger suddenly became anxious, "If you take all the treasure—"

"Don't worry,"

Luo Ya casually remarked, "The point isn't whether it exists or not, but whether people believe it exists here."

Roger was speechless.

It really is.

"Ultimately, this money was the seed money Joy Boy left for those who came after him,"

Luo Ya retorted confidently, "Am I not a latecomer?"

Roger's lips twitched slightly.

It really is.

Moreover, this kid found the newcomer here in a dignified manner, and even I, who came here with his help, am not qualified to inherit this treasure.

"Then, please continue your banquet,"

Luo Ya grinned. "I'll be going now."

"Ghana."

As he spoke, black fur grew out of Roya's body, and with the flapping of his large wings, he plunged headfirst into the dark sea.

"what?"

Roger was startled.

This guy is clearly an ability user, but he just jumped into the sea?

But he quickly recalled what had happened on Fishman Island the previous year.

Roya has the power to control the sea.

Sure enough, after scanning with his Observation Haki, he discovered that Roya had created a huge hole in the seawater, filled it with air, and then moved freely on the seabed.

What a terrifying ability! Even the ocean can't restrain him?

Roger sighed, then turned and walked back.

Now that you've made up your mind, enjoy this last bit of time.

Thinking this, Roger's face broke into a bright smile.

"Huh? Roger, why are you alone?"

Seeing him return with a smile on his face, Rayleigh was somewhat surprised. "Where's Roya?"

"left already."

"Gone? How did they leave?"

Jabba looked completely bewildered.

If we want to leave this place, the only way is through those waterways, right?

Or does Roja have the ability to walk through walls?
"Leave him alone!"

Roger laughed and grabbed a bottle of wine. "Come on! Let's drink to our hearts' content!"

Rayleigh and Jabba, who were already somewhat drunk, exchanged a glance instinctively.

I don't know what happened, but...

The two raised their glasses simultaneously, "Cheers!"

Roger seems much happier now than before. In that case, let's have a good drink with him.

We'll talk about the rest later!

"The captain finally cheered up."

Shanks, seeing the undisguised smile on Roger's face, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

What exactly did they talk about?

"what?"

Beside him, Bucky, who was happily munching on a large piece of roasted meat, tilted his head somewhat blankly. "Isn't the captain always happy?"

Is there any reason to be unhappy?

He just realized his lifelong dream and found the legendary final island.

Shanks glanced at his good friend with a hint of helplessness, then said with a sigh of relief,

"Eat more, Bucky."

My brain is already not working very well, what will I do if my body can't keep up?
"You don't need to tell me!"

Meanwhile, on Roger's side, as the atmosphere of the banquet grew increasingly lively, Roya traversed the water.

Even the narrow waterways located inside the Red Line were like flat ground to Roya, posing no threat whatsoever.

Roya even had the leisure to take out a Den Den Mushi and make a call.

Soon, the call was connected.

"Boss! There's some big news!"

It must be said that the Den Den Mushi's signal is ridiculously good; even in places like this, communication is not affected in the slightest.

Morgans' voice on the other end of the phone was still loud and cheerful, "The Navy is going to conduct a massive recruitment drive! Hahaha! Who would have thought that the Navy, which dominates the world, would be forced to this extent! It's really amazing, Boss, only you have done this in eight hundred years!"

They started with a barrage of compliments.

However, Roya had already heard about the large-scale conscription from Stussy a long time ago.

The navy's losses are indeed quite significant.

The destruction of the G-series bases alone resulted in the loss of double-digit lieutenant generals, not to mention countless major generals, brigadier generals, and even insignificant field officers and lieutenant officers.

Not to mention the Navy Headquarters, which was eventually destroyed.

The marshal died in battle, and the naval officers who remained on that island also perished.

Not to mention the entire navy, at least half of its strength has been lost.

Recruiting and training new soldiers in a normal manner will absolutely not be enough to make up for this loss in a short period of time.

That's why this massive conscription took place.

"That kind of thing doesn't matter,"

"I'm contacting you this time because it's a really big news story," Roya said.

"Breaking news!!"

Morgans' voice suddenly rose, "Even the navy's massive recruitment drive is nothing compared to this, what a huge news that will be!"

"Wait a minute, Boss! Let me get ready!"

“Hiss, hiss—”

A series of clearly audible gasps came from the other end of the phone, and then...

Morgans said firmly, "Come on, Boss! I'm fully prepared!"

"Roger has found the final island."

Luo Ya was direct and to the point.

But the fewer the words, the more explosive the news.

"Eh--"

Morgans was stunned for a moment; all he heard on the phone was a drawn-out, confused, and meaningless voice.

then.

"Eh!!!"

The sharp scream instantly struck even Roya as somewhat jarring.

Morgans' voice trembled with excitement, "Boss! You mean the legendary final island really exists, and Roger has already found it?!"

"That's right,"

Roya has broken out of the underwater channel and returned to the deep sea at the edge of the new world.

With a glare, a surge of ferocious Conqueror's Haki erupted, and the approaching Sea Kings immediately fled in panic.

As they rose back to the surface, Roya casually remarked, "It's not just the final island; the legendary One Piece is also on that island."

"Oh! The legendary Great Treasure really exists?!"

Morgans' voice grew increasingly louder, "That great treasure that gathers all the world's wealth, power, and status is actually real!"

"Ok?"

Morgans, who was in the middle of his excitement, suddenly paused, and his tone became somewhat cautious, "But Boss, how did you know?"

Wasn't Roger's crew fighting fiercely against the pirate alliance formed by the boss? Golden Lion's Flying Pirates were even shattered, and it's said that if the boss hadn't intervened in time, that lion would have been dead.

Given the sharp conflict between the two sides, how did Boss know the movements of the Roger Pirates?
"Oh, this one."

Roya casually remarked, "The final island that Roger and I arrived at together, I even gave that island a name, Laugh Tale."

Should we join Roger's operation?

Morgans dared not utter a single word.

So, how exactly did the Golden Lion lose?
What exactly is hidden behind this?
Morgans didn't even dare to think about it.

Darkness, the world of pirates is truly too dark.

"As expected of the Boss! He has traveled around the world like never before, truly conquering the Grand Line!"

A barrage of compliments followed: "The title 'Monarch' is far too inadequate to describe you! You have surpassed all pirates in history; you are simply the king of pirates!"

"The Pirate King!"

Luo Ya's mouth twitched.

That's why I said this guy could become my subordinate.

The words are all from the same set.

"Although I reached the final island, I did not actually reach the final island."

Roya said so.

Morgans on the other end of the phone immediately understood, "Got it! Boss, only report on the Roger Pirates, right!"

"Use all your connections and contact every newspaper you can reach."

Roya said, "This time, it doesn't matter if you anger the World Government. You must do everything you can to let the whole world know that Roger conquered the Grand Line and obtained the legendary One Piece."

"He is the unprecedented Pirate King."

"Yes! Boss!"

Morgans' voice trembled slightly, "I'll start writing the press release right away!"

"Hahaha! This time, the whole world is going to be in an uproar! This is the real big news I've been waiting for!"

"and many more,"

Luo Ya said, "Without evidence, few people will believe you. I have a few photos here; you can take them and publish them in the newspaper."

"Are there any more photos? As expected of the Boss! So thoughtful!"

When he finally hung up the phone, Roya had already broken through the water and soared into the sky.

In this chaotic new world, the weather is unusually clear.

Sunlight streamed down from the sky, falling on Roya.

He stretched lightly, a carefree smile on his face.
"Let the new era begin."

On a deserted island in the New World, amidst a dense forest, stands a tall wooden building that seems out of place.

"Oh!!! This—this—this is the legendary treasure!"

Morgans' hands trembled as he flipped through the newly printed photos in front of him.

The enormous mountains of gold in the photo made his breath quicken. "Incredible! A treasure of this scale could buy half the world, if not the whole world!"

"What kind of guy could have left behind such a great treasure?!"

Morgans realized that on the island that the Boss named Laugh Tale, these treasures were probably the least important things!
There must be an even bigger secret hidden there!
But the boss didn't say that, which means he didn't want anyone to know.

So no matter how much Morgans wanted to, he could only keep it to himself.

Is it not the right time yet?

But even the news that Roger had found the One Piece was enough to cause a sensation!

"Hahaha! As expected of the Boss! He never disappoints me!"

Morgans gave a strange, shrill laugh.

The boss always manages to create the biggest news ever!
Choosing to follow him back then was the wisest decision I ever made!
Boss, I respect your teeth!
Morgans clutched the photograph tightly in his hand.

The boss has already made headlines, so I can't let this news fade away!

Morgans immediately pulled out his Den Den Mushi; he was about to call for backup.

Such an unprecedented, groundbreaking, and world-shaking news story should be something few journalists would refuse.

"World, are you ready?"

So, just about half a day later, white newsbirds began to flutter over all the seas of this world: the New World, Paradise, the West Sea, the North Sea, and the East Sea.

They raced towards every inhabited island in the world, eager to deliver the world-shaking news to everyone in the shortest possible time.

As a result, newspapers began to fall like snowflakes all over the world.

The curious people who picked up the newspapers were caught off guard and left speechless with shock.

"Roger, have you found the final island?"

"Does the final island really exist? Does the One Piece really exist?"

"This, this, treasure, piled up like a mountain! This is the Great Treasure!!"

"Laugh Tale, is that the name of that island?"

"The Pirate King! Roger conquered the Grand Line, therefore, he is the Pirate King!!"

The whole world fell silent at that moment.

After a brief silence, the whole world erupted in excitement again.

Everyone is talking about it.

"The Roger Pirates have accomplished an unprecedented adventure! They have truly circumnavigated the world in a single instance! This is a feat that no one has accomplished in eight hundred years!"

"The Pirate King title is well-deserved! Even Rocks can't compare to him!"

"Whether it's One Piece or not doesn't matter. How much is that legendary One Piece worth? Probably enough to buy countless countries!"

"No wonder it's a great treasure containing all wealth, power, and status! To obtain such a treasure is truly to obtain everything!"

"Did the Roger Pirates take all the treasure? They're now richer than a country, no, their wealth rivals that of the World Government!!"

Thus, the allure of the treasure stirred up all the ambitious men.

"Roger found that treasure! Find them! Find them quickly!"

"Take that treasure from their hands!!"

Many people are already preparing to take action immediately.

No one considered how to find the Roger Pirates, no one considered how to defeat the Roger Pirates; they simply set sail driven by passion.

Of course, the most intense reaction came from those who dominate the world.

On an island that had recently risen into the air in the latter part of the New World.

"Roger! You bastard!! You really didn't disappoint me! Pirate King? What a joke! I don't believe you, just you wait!"

Beehive Island.

"What?! The One Piece actually exists! Such a treasure—damn you, Roger!! You've got everything in the world!!"

The country of peace.

"No! There must be something else besides the treasure! It's all piled up on the outermost edge of the island! Roger, what else did you get? What else is hidden on the final island?!"

Silver Axe's territory.

"The legend is true! That bastard Roger! Did he take all the treasure? Damn it! I should have joined Lingling's operation; maybe I would have been the one to find the One Piece!"

Dressrosa.

"This is incredible! So, is there any connection between Roger finding the One Piece and the treasure that Linling had stolen?"

IWC.

"Roger! You damned thief! That treasure should have been mine! Just you wait! I'll find you!"

In Beihai, a whale-shaped ship sails slowly.

"The Pirate King, Roger? You're going to become the target of everyone's ire now."

New Navy Headquarters.

Marshal Sengoku and Hero Garp looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Hahaha! As expected of Luo—"

"Get out!"

Zhan Guo rubbed his forehead.

Roger's fame has completely overshadowed the pirate alliance, which is a good thing for the Navy, as it can divert public attention.

The bad news is that the seas are about to become even more turbulent, and countless people will set sail in pursuit of the Roger Pirates.

Is the newly formulated large-scale conscription plan sufficient?

Brother Kong, I wish you were still alive!
Mariejoia.

among the flowers.

The five elders knelt respectfully on the ground, not daring to breathe or utter a single word.

Ahead, beneath a large, leafy tree, the King of the World quietly flipped through a newspaper.

"The rumors that have lasted for eight hundred years are actually true."

A cold, indifferent voice rang out, "Could it be that Joy Boy actually left something behind? M is very unhappy."

The Five Elders lowered their heads even further, their foreheads practically burying themselves in the ground.

“After finding him, Mu needs to know what Joy Boy left behind.”

"Yes, Lord Im!"

The five elders spoke in unison.

One Piece? This world doesn't need such an arrogant guy!

The World Government's target has shifted from pirate alliances and Roja to Roger and the Roger Pirates!

But undercurrents are swirling everywhere.

The name One Piece has resounded throughout the world.

Everyone knows that the pirate Gold Roger conquered the Grand Line, and everyone knows that he obtained the One Piece, which contains all wealth, power, and status!
