One Piece: Lord of Disaster.

Chapter 241 Earthquake Movement! The Ruins of Bica! Shocking!

The city of natural disasters floated in mid-air, while Roya and his officers had already landed on a desolate lunar surface.

"This land is completely dead!"

Teach stomped on the ground and felt it was soft and loose, just a layer of pale sand.

Looking into the distance, all one could see was a gray and white expanse, devoid of any life.

"That is why our ancestors abandoned their homeland and went to the Blue Star."

Abel's tone also carried a hint of complexity.

Back then, Bica's technology had reached an unimaginable level of prosperity, but precisely because of this, the overexploitation of lunar resources ultimately led this planet, which had nurtured a brilliant civilization, to its doom.

It was only then that the Bica people realized that there were problems in the world that even their science and technology could not solve.

Therefore, they had no choice but to leave.

That was a very, very long time ago, so long ago that the moon is now a desolate wasteland, with no trace of the Bica people left behind.

"Infinite Earth,"

Enel, who was only ten years old this year, felt his eyes inexplicably sting. "Is this what it looks like?"

All that could be seen was devastation.

Only the earth.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Luo Ya merely raised the corners of his mouth. "Civilization? Life? They are nothing more than insignificant embellishments in the near-eternal ages of these stars!"

"Whether great or insignificant, everything is just a story that happened on this planet. Sooner or later, the name Bika will be forgotten, and the traces they left behind will be buried in history. But this planet will continue to exist."

Everyone was stunned when they heard his words.

Then Loki suddenly burst into laughter, "What an interesting argument! But it's true, the Bica people think they destroyed their home planet, but the planet is still here!"

"Indeed,"

Abel couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, suddenly feeling that all the sighs were completely unnecessary. "Humans are such arrogant creatures. We always think we have changed the world, but in reality, everything is insignificant to the world."

Even the war eight hundred years ago, which was said to have nearly destroyed the world, could only destroy the world as seen by humankind.

"However, there are exceptions,"

Roya said matter-of-factly, “For example, the Blue Star should feel honored that I was born on it.”

Sooner or later, I will surpass that planet and become an even greater being.

Everyone was stunned.

then.

"Hahahahaha!"

Laughter suddenly erupted across the desolate plain.

Even Moria, who always considered himself an outsider to the Catastrophe Corporation, couldn't help but laugh.

He's a really annoying guy, that's true, but his spirit is unmatched on the high seas.

Dylan laughed and nodded in agreement, saying, "That's only natural! The world will one day grovel at your feet!"

However, jokes aside, there is still a very real problem.

"So, where exactly are the ruins of Bika?"

Doflamingo was the first to raise this question.

Everything had been buried by sandstorms, and no trace of any remains was found during the landing process.

Are we supposed to search for them bit by bit? Observation Haki won't be of any use at a time like this!
Although the moon is much smaller than the blue planet, it is still enormous compared to any individual planet!

If we were to search inch by inch, it would take forever.

Although we have pure gold, the supplies we brought won't last long.

Regarding this point,

Roya raised the corners of his mouth, "Judge."

"Here they come, Boss!"

Gaji, who had also landed on the moon to pay homage to Qinghai, the birthplace of science and technology, quickly stepped forward and exclaimed, "Everything is ready!"

He then added, "According to Boss, the Bica people built an underground city in the later stages of their civilization because of the deterioration of the surface environment."

"And after countless years of material accumulation, that ruin must have been buried deep underground."

"Conventional radar lacks the ability to detect targets deep underground, so I specially designed a special device! It can detect seismic waves with such precision that by observing how the waves change as they travel through different media such as rocks and soil, it can determine the underground environment over a large area!"

"So, an earthquake is needed?"

Everyone looked at Roya.

Luo Ya's smile remained unchanged. "Is a stronger earthquake always better?"

"The detection range of a single detector has its limits, but if enough detectors are deployed, then of course, the stronger the seismic wave, the farther the location can be detected in one go!"

"So, what are we waiting for?"

Luo Ya chuckled, "Let's begin the setup."

The detection device designed by Gadge consisted of long, huge iron nails.

A section needs to be buried deep underground, and the sensors mounted on it can accurately capture the refraction and reflection of seismic waves, thereby obtaining information about the underground conditions over a large area.

The head is connected to a transmitter, which can transmit the collected information back to the laboratory.

Quite a few of these devices have already been produced.

What needs to be done now is to disperse these devices and then drive them underground.

In an instant, all the cadres who could fly were mobilized.

Even Roya, carrying iron nails, began to fly around the lunar surface.

These devices will be distributed in concentric rings radiating outwards from the landing point.

Once all the equipment is deployed, the maximum detection radius for a single operation is approximately one thousand kilometers.

That's more than enough, considering the moon's diameter is less than 4,000 kilometers.

It took about a week just to set up these devices, even though Roya and the others flew fast enough.

then.

"Gaji,"

Roya had already entered his beastman form, flapping his wings and floating in the sky. He held a Den Den Mushi in his hand and was talking to Judge in the laboratory.

"can we start?"

"It's ready, Boss! All the detectors are operational! We're also ready to analyze the data! Please create the earthquake with full force!"

"Then I won't stand on ceremony!"

Luo Ya's lips curled up.

To be honest, he rarely uses the term "earthquake disaster".

This move only works on ordinary people at sea; slightly stronger individuals can't expect houses to collapse and crush them.

Therefore, he really didn't know what the result would be if he went all out to create an earthquake.

In short.

Roya looked down at the pale earth below, then raised his right hand and snapped his fingers.

"Magnitude change!"

Boom! !
The ground below suddenly began to shake violently.

A sound like thunder roared upwards, shaking the heavens.

The earth was visibly torn apart by savage force, and huge chasms instantly shattered the land within a radius of more than ten kilometers.

Outside this central area, the earth is also breaking apart, with spiderweb-like cracks spreading, though not as spectacular as those here.

The dust covering the earth's surface quickly rose into the air, and looking down from the sky, one could clearly see concentric waves spreading outwards.

In the sky, on the edge of the city of natural disaster, the officials watching all this were dumbfounded.

"This power is way too much!"

Doflamingo couldn't help but gasp, "If this attack were launched in Qinghai, it would have shattered a large island into pieces!"

"As expected of the Boss!"

Becky nodded in deep agreement, "Truly a monster among monsters!"

Below, Roya was breathing heavily.

There was no black mist on the moon, and using his full power had greatly depleted his stamina. However, looking at the results of this attack, he couldn't help but nod slightly.

Not bad.

But it's nothing to be proud of.

After all, according to the established storyline, the punch that Whitebeard delivered to destroy the Marine Headquarters building during the Marineford War had an aftershock that even reached the New World, creating a huge trench that eventually reached the island where the Pirate Expo was held in the movie Stampede.

A force that will truly tear the world apart!
Of course, it is more likely that the awakened Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability triggered resonance, causing the continental plates to tremble, thus triggering a larger-scale chain reaction.

With a deafening roar, the powerful seismic waves spread out.

Now it's time to see Judge's performance.

Inside the laboratory of the City of Calamity, Judge and Caesar were frantically pressing keys on electronic screens.

"coming!!"

Judge raised his voice, "The data from the first batch of detectors has been transmitted back! Everyone, start processing it with full force!"

Roya slowly flapped his wings and returned to the City of Calamity.

The dark aura permeating the city instantly restored his spirits.

It has to be black energy! Perfect!
Then, Judge's joyful shouts came from the Den Den Mushi in his hand.
"Boss! We've detected it! Based on the orientation of the City of Calamity, there's a massive underground cavity approximately 700 kilometers underground at the two o'clock position!!"

Wow, that was fast!

Luo Ya couldn't help but pause for a moment.

Do we have five minutes?
It would take at least one or two minutes for seismic waves to travel 700 kilometers away, so how could the data be processed so quickly?
Forget it, the cutting-edge technology in this world doesn't need much logic.

"So, what are we waiting for?"

In short, the City of Calamity was soon moving in the direction that Gaji had indicated.

A mere 700 kilometers is hardly a long distance compared to the speed at which the city of natural disasters can fly.

Soon, the floating city arrived above another equally pale plain.

Is it really here?

The group returned to the ground, and Doflamingo stomped his foot forcefully, saying, "It feels no different from where we first landed."

But Roya had a smile on his lips. "Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Doflamingo, you should really work on your Observation Haki!"

"indeed!"

Abel nodded solemnly, his eyes looking down as if piercing through the thick layers of debris to see the scene deep underground.

"There is a huge cavity below, and inside the cavity are neatly arranged buildings!"

"Have we finally found it?"

Dylan also breathed a sigh of relief.

He was genuinely worried that if he wasted too much time on the moon, something might happen on the Qinghai Lake and he wouldn't be able to get back in time.

In fact, the distance was so great that the signal of the Den Den Mushi couldn't even get through.

"What are you waiting for!"

Loki raised his spiked club high, "Let me make a way!"

"Too rough won't do,"

Luo Ya waved his hand, "Wouldn't it be such a pity if such ancient relics were damaged?"

He smiled and said, "Let me do it."

Then, in the next instant, the ground began to melt!

Both the dust covering the ground and the soil and rocks beneath it suddenly began to melt at that moment.

In that instant, all the dust, soil, and rocks turned into molten lava!
Then, the lava was drawn by an invisible force, flowing upwards like long dragons, and soon condensed into a huge magma sphere in the sky.

Isn't that even more brutal?
Loki's lips twitched slightly.

Immediately, with a casual wave of his hand, the enormous magma ball flew away into the distance, and in an instant, the earth shook again.

However, by this time, everyone was too late to marvel at Roya's astonishing power, because after the lava flowed away, a huge cavity appeared in front of them.

And at the bottom of this enormous void lies a city that has been sealed away for countless years.

"Is this... the ruins of Bika?"

Abel's voice was somewhat hoarse.

Enel's gaze was extremely intense.

Is this where their ancestors once lived?
"Come on, go down and have a look."

Luo Ya jumped down first.

The cadres followed closely behind, each using their own unique methods to fall towards the ruins below.

During the descent, Roya gently waved his right hand, and dark clouds suddenly gathered in the sky, with bolts of lightning crashing down on the city below.

Before anyone could react to what their boss was up to, the bolts of lightning suddenly vanished into the city below.

A pipe-like object flashed with lightning, transmitting electricity.

then.

One by one, the lights came on.

"How can it be!"

Judge almost lost his voice, "So many years have passed, and these facilities in this city are still usable?"

What incredible infrastructure capabilities!

The Bica people are terrifying!
It's not over yet.

After everyone landed in this city that looked ancient but actually contained an astonishing level of technology.

Footsteps suddenly rang out.

"Hey! What's that?"

Loki, taking advantage of his height, spotted the short figures emerging from one of the streets at a glance.
"Is anyone still living here?"

The others were also surprised.

Wasn't it said to have been abandoned a long time ago?
Luo Ya simply chuckled.

As I've already said, the Bica people didn't take everything with them.

Soon, those small figures approached the crowd with synchronized steps.

"That's... a robot?"

Doflamingo, who had hitched a ride off Dylan, was utterly astonished.

It was incredibly short, with a large head and relatively short limbs. It carried a spear, and its entire body gleamed with a metallic sheen. It had a mustache-like decoration on its nose and a pair of small wings on its back.

Of course, it's not human.

"Amazing! Amazing!"

Judge jumped off Dylan's back immediately and pounced on the robots.

"They regained their mobility immediately after simply replenishing their energy? Aren't they susceptible to the erosion of time? What incredible technology! Is this the creation of the Bica people?!"

Then, all the little robots bowed to the crowd in unison.

"this--"

Dylan was taken aback. "Is this a way of expressing gratitude?"

"They possess their own consciousness!"

Judge was almost dumbfounded.

"Anyway, could you take us to see the factory here?"

Having known about this all along, Roya was naturally not surprised and simply smiled.

Without any hesitation, these little robots turned around and led the way.

"No way! He can understand it!?"

Even the cadres who had little knowledge of science and technology were astonished at this moment.

Is this the technological prowess of the Bika people?

It truly is the origin of everything!
