One Piece: Lord of Disaster.

Chapter 236 A Dog Without a Home! Whitebeard! And a Giant Lanternfish

Although most of the town had been reduced to ruins, and countless innocent people had died as a result, Charlotte Linlin was still speaking kindly to Abel and Barrett amidst these ruins.

"Mommy, Mommy! As expected of that kid Roya's subordinate, he possesses such power at such a young age. I'm truly astonished!"

Just moments ago she was as ferocious as a demon, but now she's as kind as a mother. Charlotte Linlin's gentle smile only made Barrett sneer repeatedly.

Is this the speed at which a great pirate can change his tune?
From this perspective, they are indeed still far behind.

"You're too kind."

Abel, being the more sociable of the two, bowed slightly to Charlotte Linlin to express his gratitude for her praise, saying, "It's all thanks to Boss's excellent guidance."

"Really? I had no idea that kid Roya had a talent for teaching people."

Charlotte Linlin's smile held a hint of surprise.

After calming down, she began to be genuinely amazed by the strength of the two kids.

Although she was very unwilling, the two brats combined did indeed have the strength to fight her.

With such strength and talent, even Katakuri is outshone, and she is even inferior to others of the same age.

As a result, Abel said that it was Roya who taught them?
Is that kid the type to teach others?
"The boss is omnipotent."

Abel said seriously.

"Mommy, Mommy! You're all-powerful?"

Charlotte Linlin laughed heartily, "Interesting! Well then, Abel, tell me, when did your so-called omnipotent Roja say he would introduce me to Harald?"

"If it drags on too long, or if they just casually give Harald my name, then I won't acknowledge it!"

"Don't worry, if the boss says he will introduce it, then he definitely will."

Abel said, "He said he wouldn't keep you waiting long, and that he would personally take you to Harald and act as a matchmaker for you."

"Mommy, Mommy! Great!"

Although that little rascal Roya is a scoundrel, he usually keeps his word.

Since he said so, there shouldn't be any problems!

Looking at Charlotte Linlin's beaming face, Abel couldn't help but recall his conversation with the Boss before setting off.

At that time, he asked, "Is it really a good idea to get Harald and Charlotte Linlin involved?"
Harald was already dissatisfied with their Catastrophe Company, and now they were even involved with the World Government. If they were to get in touch with the Charlotte Family as well, it probably wouldn't be a good thing.

However, the Boss said that Harald would make the right choice, and that now was indeed a good time to bring Harald and Charlotte Linlin together, because they would be having a grand collaboration soon.

Abel didn't understand who the Boss meant by "everyone".

All he knew was that the Boss's words were ironclad rules he had to follow.

"Since both sides have no objections, then BIG MOM, we'll head back now. Boss is waiting for us to return and report."

Abel said.

"Is that so?"

Charlotte Linlin nodded. "Then I won't keep you any longer."

Although I really wanted Abel to stay, it was clearly impossible.

She would have a hard time even defeating the two brats working together, let alone Roya behind them.

Ultimately, the power of the Disaster Corporation far surpasses that of the Charlotte family.

"correct,"

Charlotte Linlin suddenly remembered something and looked at Dragon and the others beside her, "What are you going to do with these strange guys? Just let them go?"

"In that case, let's resolve them all here."

Barrett then calmly said, "To save time."

Abel nodded slightly. "Alright."

He looked at Charlotte Linlin, "BIG MOM, then leave these guys to us."

"As you wish."

Charlotte Linlin didn't care at all.

Rather, she was actually quite curious about how that kid Luo Ya got involved with the Self-Defense Army.
They even knew in advance that these guys were coming to rescue people from their location.

Abel walked step by step toward Dorrag and the others.

As the boy approached, Dragon's expression changed slightly.

What exactly does this guy mean by "punishment"?
Why is there a so-called punishment right from the start?

Yes, is it because Roya knows something?

If that's the case—

Crocodile held his breath; now was indeed a critical moment of life and death!
Abel walked up to Dorrag and stood in front of him, looking down at the man with his height of over four meters. "The boss said, stop playing these little tricks. If you're going to do something, do it seriously. It's not good to always resort to crooked methods."

"..."

Dorrag's pupils dilated instantly.

Roya knows!
He really knew he was being schemed against!
But why is it that only the four of them know about the plan?

How did he know that?

"The boss also said that this punishment is to teach you a lesson."

Abel continued, "I hope you can learn from this and continue to fight against the World Government in the future."

Crocodile tries to keep a low profile.

My heart was pounding with fear.

What exactly is the relationship between Luo Ya and the Self-Defense Army?
At the same time, Dragon spoke in a hoarse voice, "Punishment? What exactly did Roya do this time?"

"You'll find out soon enough."

Abel didn't offer any further explanation, but instead looked down at Ginny, who was being held by the neck by Katakuri's trident yet still gazing affectionately at the bear being held down on the other side.
Is this woman named Ginny?

Ok?
Dorrag's pupils changed instantly.

what happened?

How did he even know about Ginny?

Previously, when they contacted the Self-Defense Forces headquarters, it was always by phone. Ginny and Crocodile's identities should not have been revealed at all!

And why Ginny?

"stop!"

The bear began to struggle again. "Don't touch Ginny!"

Ginny also turned her head in horror to look at Abel—this action was a little difficult for her, and if she was not careful, her slender neck would brush against Katakuri's trident blade.

Katakuri simply turned the ground back into mochi, binding him tightly. "Don't move. This matter is no longer your concern, nor ours."

"You're right,"

Abel nodded slightly. "If anyone's to blame, it's Dragon for doing something stupid."

"Katakuri, hand this woman over to me. The Boss wants her."

"That doesn't matter."

Katakuri casually pulled out his trident, freeing Ginny, and then said mischievously, "I felt something was off when we met before. That guy had a woman with him. Has Roja finally reached the age where his heart is fluttering?"

Abel simply replied, "The Boss is indeed very interested in beautiful women."

Behind her, Charlotte Linlin's eyes darted around upon hearing this.

"Hahaha! Given that kid's recklessness, I already know what he's going to do."

Katakuri laughed as he manipulated the mochi to surge up, saying, "This woman is indeed quite beautiful."

Ginny, who was crying and rushing towards the bear cub, was instantly bound by rice cake and then flew towards Abel.

Abel grabbed the mochi handle that Katakuri had thoughtfully left behind and lifted Ginny up.

"Ginny!!"

The bear struggled desperately, but he couldn't break free from Katakuri's mochi restraints. The man, who had endured countless hardships in his life, couldn't hold back his tears.
"Why would you do such a thing! Why?! How wicked can you all be?!"

Charlotte Linlin was informed of her whereabouts by a man named Roya.

Now, he wants to take Ginny away too!

Why, why are there such evil people in this world?!
"I already said, if you have to blame someone, blame Dragon for doing something stupid."

Abel was completely unmoved by the bear's cries.

The sea has always been cruel.

Since you came to this ocean unprepared, don't complain.

"I'll make up for the stupid things I've done!"

A gust of wind howled in, and Dorrag suddenly unleashed a powerful punch of gale force.

Even the usually calm man was affected by the anger in his heart at this moment.

He knew, of course, that nothing could be changed now, but he couldn't control himself!

then.

Abel casually blocked Dragon's heavy punch with a single sword strike.

Then, a dark shadow flashed in, and a heavy, black fist slammed into Dragon's face, instantly deforming the man's features. With a swift downward motion, the fist slammed Dragon's face into the ground. The ground shattered instantly, and the already broken ground within hundreds of meters around it undulated violently—literally undulating.

Dorrag's upper body sank into the ground, with only his legs still twitching.

"Ridiculous."

Barrett, who had punched Dragon headfirst, snorted coldly.

If the Boss hadn't said he was still useful, we would have killed him long ago.

To be ungrateful for the Boss's leniency and even retaliate is truly courting death.

"Tsk, tsk."

Katakuri couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement, "That's amazing."

Dragon was stronger than him, but he was basically powerless against these two.

Even though it's two against one, isn't that a bit over the top?
"The matter is settled. Since that's the case, we'll take our leave now, BIG MOM."

Abel said goodbye to Charlotte Linlin.

"Mommy, Mommy! Take care!"

Charlotte Lingling said with a smile, "Don't forget to tell Roya to hurry up, I don't have much patience!"

"it is good!"

Then, the two of them, carrying Ginny, soared into the sky, leaving behind only heart-wrenching cries.

"Bear boy!!"

On the ground, the bear was snotting and crying, and then suddenly began to wail loudly.

The man, as strong as a small mountain, was suffering inconsolably.

We wept for his life filled with suffering.

Seeing him like this, Katakuri felt a little sorry for him. He let go of the bear and comforted him, "Don't be sad. No matter how much you cry, the person can't come back."

Instead of crying over what you've lost, imagine what you still have, and cherish what you still possess—isn't that better than anything else?

He forced a smile that wouldn't stay up at the corners of his mouth. "Don't you still have a child? You've already lost so much. If you can't even protect your last child, then you'll truly have nothing left."

The bear's crying stopped abruptly.

His eyes were filled with a mixture of pain and confusion.

"That's right!"

Katakuri nodded solemnly. "Now, let's send these stray dogs away."

Just then, Dorag, his face bruised and swollen, pulled his upper body out of the ground.

A stray dog?
Indeed, it truly lives up to its name.

So, Roya, what exactly did you do?
……

In the North Sea.

The Kingdom of Bastia.

A sudden uprising broke out.

It started in a small port town. The oppressed dockworkers, led by certain individuals, attacked the town's armory and, after acquiring weapons and equipment, began a formal attack on the city hall.

After the city hall was captured, many places across the country responded, and the whole country was immediately engulfed in flames of war.

However, although the royal army was initially stunned, they quickly regained their order and charged straight at the rebels.

Then, the situation reversed instantly.

The uprising, launched hastily, lacked the necessary conditions in all aspects. It failed to gain more popular support, and various royal forces could not be eliminated in time.

Therefore, even though the king of this country was ruthless and unpopular, the rebels still collapsed at the first touch when facing the king's army.

After that, a bloody crackdown began.

As I've said, the king of this country has always ruled harshly.

The ship, shaped like a whale, docked at the country's coast at that time.

Marco stood on the ship's railing, gazing at the city in the distance where heavy artillery roared, and clicked his tongue. "Is there a war? Or is it another suicide attack by the Flevans?"

I've been in Beihai for over a year now, and I'm quite familiar with Marco, a Frevans native and a local specialty.

They're a bunch of lunatics; even they've been attacked several times.

Well, there's always a reason why someone is pitiful.

"That's not the case."

A gentle voice suddenly rang out, "It was those fools called the Self-Courage Army who hastily launched a rebellion, and now the King's Army is suppressing it."

"The Self-Defense Army?"

Marco frowned.

I don't remember—wait!
His pupils suddenly contracted, and he instantly looked down.

On the shore below the ship's side, a man in a white suit leaped up and landed lightly on the ship's side.

The man ignored the shocked Marco and looked directly at the figure leaning back in the large chair.

"We've been waiting for you for a long time, Whitebeard!"

The man bowed slightly. "I come on behalf of the World Government. The government is preparing to take action against the Disaster Company. We know that you and Roya also have a grudge, so I wonder if Captain Whitebeard would be interested—"

"roll!"

Before he could even speak, a shockwave blasted him away.

The man coughed up blood, feeling as if his body was about to be shattered. He flew a long way and crashed onto the shore, where he lay motionless.

"bed bugs."

Whitebeard snorted coldly.

"But Dad,"

Vista, the foil fencer, said softly, "Perhaps, that really is an opportunity to take revenge on Roja..."

Mentioning Roya, everyone on deck became serious.

Being driven out of the Sphinx and even the New World by Roya like stray dogs was a humiliation they would never forget.

"Can the world government still be trusted?"

Whitebeard casually replied, "They just want us to be cannon fodder, but I'm not interested!"

"But Dad, what about Sphinx..."

Marco's voice was also very low.

The world's freest sea, the sea ruled by Roja, earned this name.

But it is precisely because of this that people understand that sometimes, too much freedom is not a good thing.

Whitebeard finally hesitated for a moment.

Then he sighed, "This is the path they chose themselves."

He's already risked his life with the children once; he can't let it happen a second time.

Almost simultaneously, in the world's freest sea, in the kingdom of giants, Elbaf.

On the second level of the Treasure Tree Adam, a pterosaur that appeared rather small in this country spread its wings and swooped down, landing directly towards Auersto Castle.

Instead of heading towards the door, it smashed through the castle roof from above and forcefully entered the castle.

Amidst the billowing smoke, a rather annoyed voice rang out.

"If you bastard don't give me a proper reason, I'll twist your head off right now!"

The pterosaur Dylan remained unmoved; he simply flapped his wings, and the resulting gust of wind instantly dispersed the smoke in the spacious room.

He looked up at Harald, the giant king who was already drawing his sword, and calmly said, "Harald, the boss said that you should agree to the World Government's proposal."

"what?"

Harald's pupils dilated instantly.

Roya, did he find out?
"Boss said,"

Dylan continued, "If you don't want Elbaf to be reduced to ashes, then play a game with the World Government!"

A city plagued by natural disasters.

Luo Ya suddenly received a phone call.

"Boss! It's me!"

"Hmm? Umit? What's wrong?"

It was his Minister of Transport, Umit, known as the "King of Shipping."

"Boss! Tiger and the others have been attacked!"

"Oh? Who has the guts?"

"It's a sea king! It's an anglerfish bigger than an island!"
