One Piece: Lord of Disaster.

Chapter 224 Their Own Actions! And Im's Wrath

The Calamity God flew out of Rogue Town in a flash, flying upwards along the canal on Upside Down without stopping.

Only after flying all the way to the top of the Upside-Down Mountain did Roya and the Golden Lion tacitly slow down their pace.

"It seems they haven't caught up."

Redfield, who was very skilled in Observation Haki, nodded slightly.

"Escape operation a great success!"

Luo Ya then sheathed his sword, and as the blood energy dissipated, the massive Calamity God of War vanished into thin air.

The four of them landed lightly on the summit of Upside Down Mountain, with the confluence of waterways from all four seas not far behind them.

"Whew—that was dangerous,"

Roya looked shaken, "I thought I was going to be killed."

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Kaido said irritably, "From beginning to end, have you suffered even the slightest injury, you bastard?"

What are you pretending to be here for?
Roya paused.

He looked down at himself.

It really is.

Dealing with the Five Elders was as easy as kicking five stray dogs off the street.

Then Im appeared, and the moment he was at a disadvantage, Uncle Shiki came to his aid.

In the end, he even cleaved Im away with a single sword strike, managing to break through!

They really didn't suffer any hardship at all.

Now that I think about it carefully, isn't my performance this time a bit amazing?

Especially the fact that he single-handedly took on five opponents and got a pentakill. Apart from Im, there probably isn't another person in the world who can do that.

Even Shiki and Whitebeard couldn't do that, let alone a pure hand-to-hand combat master like Garp.

"Haha! Looking back now, I really had a lot of fun."

Roya's expression instantly turned smug. "The Five Elders are nothing special!"

Kaido twitched the corner of his mouth.

"But who exactly is that last woman?"

Redfield's tone was quite grave, "It took the combined strength of the four of us to send her flying, and that single blow probably wouldn't even have seriously injured her! How could someone be so strong!"

Even Roger, Whitebeard, and Shiki could never have done that, right?
Oh, even Roya, who was already on par with Roger and the other two, couldn't do that.

"That's exactly what I can't understand!"

Golden Lion frowned as well, "The Knights of God and even the Five Elders made their appearances much earlier, but this guy only showed up after the Five Elders were defeated."

"Is her status even higher than the Five Elders?"

Aren't the Five Elders already the ones who hold the highest power in the world, and the leaders of the Celestial Dragons?
"Who knows about such things?"

Luo Ya pretended not to understand, while Little Bear shrugged. "The Celestial Dragons are still too mysterious. Perhaps she was one of the Five Elders from the previous generation?"

"How could that be! She's such a young girl!"

Golden Lion immediately retorted, "The Five Elders have been the Five Elders for who knows how many years. Those damned old geezers seem to be in no way going to age—hmm?"

The golden lion suddenly stopped.

Both Redfield and Kaido's pupils contracted.

Luo Ya nodded solemnly, "Perhaps it's not just like that, but that they really won't continue to age!"

Yes!

The Five Elders have ruled the World Government for far too long, so long that no one remembers exactly when they began to wield supreme power in the world.

People have become accustomed to this.

But is it possible that the Five Elders are not simply living long lives due to good health maintenance, but are actually immortal?

"If that's the case, then the World Government is far too terrifying!"

Redfield's tone was grave. "If that woman really is a monster left over from a long time ago, then if there's a first one, why can't there be a second or a third?"

Both Shiki and Kaido had very unpleasant expressions.

Could there really be more than one of those monsters?
If that's the case, then what's the point of overthrowing the world government?
I might as well just wash my neck and wait to die!

"There's no need to be so pessimistic,"

Roya laughed and said, "If they really had such exaggerated power, would our Rocks Pirates have been able to be so arrogant back then?"

Golden Lion and Kaido's eyes lit up instantly.

Yes, if there were really many super experts like that woman, would the Rocks Pirates have been able to wait until God Valley to be destroyed?
"Upon closer reflection, the commander of that Knights of God also gradually aged somewhat in the years following God Valley,"

Luo Ya continued, "Furthermore, the ages of the Five Elders are not uniform. Some of them look much younger than their colleagues. Does this mean that they also need to meet certain conditions to possess the power of immortality?"

Is it Im's ability, or the immortality surgery of the Op-Op Fruit?

Roya actually prefers the latter.

While this is uncertain, it is certain that Im does not possess many precious items that grant immortality.

"Hehehe! In that case, there's nothing to be afraid of!"

Kaido laughed out loud.

"Oh! Brother Kaido is truly exceptionally optimistic,"

Roya couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's one thing for the Navy to have its combat power all out in the open, but does that mean they don't even care about those monsters in the World Government who have immortal bodies and can teleport at will?"

"Speaking of those guys' immortality—"

Kaido got angry whenever he talked about it. He said irritably, "You said that Conqueror's Haki was the key to dealing with that guy, but how come my iron rod has no effect on them at all?"

He was badly beaten by those knights of the gods. If he hadn't been so thick-skinned, he might have been chopped into mincemeat like the Five Elders by now.

"Perhaps it's because your Conqueror's Haki isn't strong enough, Kaido."

Roya chuckled teasingly, "Ryder and Uncle Skeeter will definitely be fine."

"What did you say?"

Kaido was furious.

"but,"

Luo Ya paused, then his tone became somewhat solemn, "Even I cannot truly kill the Five Elders. Even my Conqueror's Haki can only suppress their regeneration!"

Ryder frowned. "Wouldn't that make those guys invincible?"

Even a powerful figure like Roya couldn't kill them, and they could even summon each other in times of crisis.

How do you deal with an enemy that can fight or run away whenever it wants?

"There must be a way to solve it."

Roya slowly exhaled, "Conqueror's Haki is definitely a counter card, and perhaps there are some techniques that I haven't realized yet."

"If only I could capture a God Knight, I could experiment on him properly."

"How can we catch it? Even if we could, it would be summoned back immediately."

Kaido rolled his eyes.

"Yes, it's really troublesome."

Luo Ya couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Joy Boy, it's all your fault.

To simply say that Conqueror's Haki is the key to dealing with immortality is something no one can understand!

Anyway, let's go back.

Luo Ya stretched and said, "It was quite enjoyable to have a good time."

"But when you get back, everyone should keep a low profile. I don't think anyone wants that woman to come knocking on our door, right?"

Both Shiki and Kaido's expressions changed slightly.

Without a doubt, if that woman came knocking, they would have no chance of winning. After all, the woman who was suspected of being an immortal was already ridiculously strong, not to mention that she could summon people.

"I'm not afraid!"

The golden lion immediately snorted coldly.

He flies around in the skies of the new world; who can find him?
Ryder shrugged. "I don't care at all. I'm already homeless, where is she going to find me?"

Kaido's expression turned slightly unpleasant.

Let's not stay in Wano Country for now.

"That's good!"

Roya grinned and opened his arms wide. "Now, get ready to embrace a brand new world!"

"That Roger gave us the best era with his life!"

"Ugh, ugh, ugh!"

Mentioning Roger, Kaido burst into laughter, "I wonder how many ambitious people will set sail because of Roger's words! The most chaotic era is about to begin! The One Piece? I'm going to have it! Roya, Shiki, Ryder, whether it's you or anyone else, I won't be polite!"

"A great treasure, huh? That must be very interesting."

Ryder smirked wickedly. "The second person to find Laugh Tale will be the new Pirate King, right?" "Treasure hunting? Pirate King?"

The Golden Lion sneered, "This is just children playing house! Once I conquer this world, what will all this so-called treasure matter?"

Roya's attitude toward Shiki was not surprising; in the original work, he was quite disdainful of the so-called Great Pirate Era.

"Just go for it!"

Luo Ya laughed heartily, "Isn't this what freedom is all about?"

"Until then,"

Suddenly, the golden lion abruptly turned its head to look at Roya, its eyes burning like electric shocks, as if it were about to unleash a laser beam.
"Roya, fight me! I'm really curious to see just how far you've evolved!"

After Roger died, the strongest enemy besides the World Government was this brat!
"Ok?"

Roja raised an eyebrow. Was it because Roger was dead that they were now focusing their attention on him?

"Okay."

Luo Ya nodded happily.

Having already defeated Roger, we certainly can't miss out on the remaining two legendary pirates.

"Jie hahahaha!"

Anyway, let's go back to the new world first.

A large ship, some distance from Roggetown, was blowing so fast it seemed to be an arrow shot from a bow.

Dorrag stood at the bow of the ship, still recalling the scene he had seen from afar when he left Loguetown.

The World Government actually has such a powerful figure hidden away?
Once there's a first one, will there be a second?

"Drag, shouldn't we thank Roya?"

Ivankov emerged from the cabin. "If that guy hadn't drawn so much attention, we probably wouldn't have been able to escape at all!"

Roya...

Dorrag's expression suddenly became somewhat complicated.

That guy is undoubtedly the second biggest source of chaos in the world, under the World Government!

However, his existence can also pose a great obstacle to the World Government, and even the current development of the Self-Defense Force is inseparable from his support.

Although the cost was that the Ziyong Army was riddled with infiltration, it was not far off from being a branch of the Natural Disaster Company.

Ugh.

Dorrag shook his head.

Then, in the next moment, he rallied his spirits. "Ivan, an unprecedented era is about to begin! We must be prepared!"

"Of course!"

Ivankov, with a rather flamboyant gesture, held his right hand across the corner of his right eye. "The man of miracles is about to change the world!"

"Change the world?"

A mocking voice came from behind, "You think you can take it all?"

Dragon turned around and saw Crocodile, his body wrapped in bandages, leaning against the cabin door frame. He smiled slightly and said, "How will you know if you don't try?"

"Oh! Little Chloe, you're awake already?"

Ivankov spun around like a whirlwind to Crocodile's side, grinning as he said, "How about it? Join us! Let's change this twisted world together!"

"I'm not that bored."

Crocodile snorted coldly, "Now that I've heard Roger's last words with my own ears, my goal is clearly only one! And also,"

He gave Ivankov another disdainful look. "Little Klo? What kind of nickname is that?"

"The Great Treasure?"

Dorlag understood.

How many people in the world could resist that great treasure?
"But little Chloe! I saved you! Not only did I fight alongside you, but I also carried you away from the battlefield and even treated you!"

Ivankov held up three fingers. "You owe me three favors. As a way of repaying them, join our Self-Defense Force. Who says you can't go looking for the One Piece if you join us?"

This kid is also exceptionally strong. If he can be recruited into the Self-Defense Army, he will undoubtedly become a great general!
"Fighting side by side counts as a favor? And are you trying to take advantage of me, you bastard?"

Crocodile retorted irritably, "I'll repay the favor I owe you sooner or later, but not at the cost of my freedom!"

"Honestly, Chloe, you're really willful."

Ivankov sighed helplessly.

"Who's being unreasonable here?!"

"Never mind, I'm going back to visit my family now!"

Ivankov asked, "Little Klo, do you want to come back with me?"

"Why should I go with you to visit relatives?!"

The inexperienced young Crocodile was so angry at this guy that the veins on his forehead bulged. "What does this have to do with me!"

"The world government is definitely keeping an eye on you too,"

At this point, Dragon spoke up, saying, "Acting alone would be dangerous. It doesn't matter if you don't join us, but it would be safer to act together for now until things calm down."

Klock Dalton's brow furrowed immediately.

It seems that this is indeed the case.

"What are we waiting for!"

Ivankov enthusiastically put his arm around Crocodile's shoulder and said with a grin, "Target: South China Sea!"

Almost at the same moment.

Rayleigh is swimming.

Swimming in the vast ocean.

Shanks dragged the still unconscious Buggy along behind him, the red-haired boy's face looking rather grim.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally spoke, "Uncle Rayleigh, was that person my—"

"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be your father."

Rayleigh said it bluntly.

"..."

Shanks fell silent.

Before disembarking, Captain Roger frankly told him about his past.

The fact that he was actually a Celestial Dragon, and not just any ordinary Celestial Dragon, dealt Shanks a huge blow.

And today, I actually met my father in the blood sense.

But that person was Mr. Raleigh's enemy.

"Shanks, you haven't made up your mind yet, so I'm taking you away."

Rayleigh's voice rang out, "Whether you go back to Mary Geoise or stay on the sea is a decision you must make yourself, not one that I or your Celestial Dragon father can decide."

"No! Mr. Raleigh!"

Shanks immediately declared firmly, "I don't want to go back to Mary Geoise! ​​I just want to stay on the sea, I just want to be a free pirate like Captain Roger!"

"I can,"

He raised his hand and placed it on the straw hat on his head. "Pass on Captain Roger's will!"

Rayleigh raised the corners of his mouth.

But immediately, he noticed something rolling off his back.

Shanks was originally holding Bucky with one arm, but now, that arm is resting on his straw hat.

"Wow! Bucky! He's sinking!"

Soon after, Mary Geoise, Pangaea, among the flowers.

Six figures writhed in agony in the room filled with blooming grass.

They were the Five Elders who had been chopped into mincemeat by Roya, and Figaland Gellinger who failed at the last moment.

Black energy rose from the six men, their faces contorted in a grimace, their clothes soaked with sweat, as if they were enduring some unimaginable torture.

But let alone screaming, the six of them even tried their best to control their struggling movements, desperately trying to make their movements as small as possible.

They endured their unspeakable suffering in silence.

Not far away, in front of the flowerbed, the figure wearing a tall crown crushed the blooming flowers in front of him.

"To allow Mu to suffer such humiliation, they all deserve to die!"

"Of them, Roya is the most deserving of death,"

The King of the World suddenly turned around, and the power acting on the Five Elders and Gellinger instantly dissipated. "Don't disappoint Mu again! Mu will make Roya die!"

"Yes, Lord Im!"

Without any hesitation, the six men rose to their feet and knelt before their god.

"Furthermore, this world is spiraling out of control! Mu needs more fighting power!"

"Yes!"
