One Piece: Lord of Disaster.

Chapter 244 Roya, you're in trouble! (And the collection)

Dressrosa.

This land, once a haven of love and passion, has undergone tremendous changes in the past year.

One of the seven great pirates who divided up the New World, Captain John of the Seven Lords, chose this place as his headquarters.

King Riku, who once ruled this country, abdicated, and Captain John became the new king. Pirates then took over this former member state of the World Government.

It should be said that Commander John was not a cruel ruler.

He wasn't particularly interested in killing or ravaging.

However, he has only one flaw.

Very greedy.

Although they no longer had to pay the Heavenly Gold, the taxes that the people of this country had to pay to Captain John were in no way inferior to those Heavenly Gold.

Life is certainly much harder than before.

But thankfully, we can still manage to get by.

Especially after learning what a terrible state the seas ruled by Roa were in, the people of Dressrosa were even more grateful that Captain John was their ruler.

Although this guy levies heavy taxes, he never hesitates to crack down on pirates in this sea area in order to ensure that people pay their taxes on time.

Meanwhile, on that high, raised hill in the center of the city.

This is the King's Heights, the location of the royal palace in Dressrosa.

Inside the royal palace.

Captain John put down the Den Den Mushi and picked up a bottle of wine that was placed next to him and started drinking.

In the end, everyone was persuaded by Roya.

There's no need to fight the World Government's main forces. The only potentially dangerous situation is when the God Knights who stayed behind call back those who went out during the attack on Mary Geoise.

Even so, according to Roja, they didn't need to go to Mary Geoise at all; they only needed to cause some damage.

To be honest, it is indeed very safe.

However, it's unlikely that Roja and his team will end up severely weakened by the World Government.

Moreover, they would have to completely break ties with the World Government, leaving no room for negotiation whatsoever.

What a pity.

Roya's kid is indeed not so easily fooled.

"Captain John, it's you, isn't it?"

A detached female voice suddenly rang out.

The wine bottle in his hand was accidentally crushed to pieces.

Captain John's pupils suddenly dilated, and he looked up in disbelief at the windowsill on one side.

Before I knew it, a woman was sitting on it.

He was wearing a long black robe, a mask, and had heterochromatic eyes!
When did it appear?

Completely unaware!
and many more!

Captain John's facial muscles twitched suddenly.

What does this woman look like!
It's somewhat similar to the Celestial Dragon expert that Roya described before, who suddenly appeared at the end of Roger's execution!

No way! !

Why did that monster target me?
That was a super strong opponent that even the Golden Lion Roya admitted he couldn't defeat!

What exactly is going on!

"and many more!"

Still completely confused, Captain John instinctively raised his hand, "Wang Zhi and I are on the same side! We're on the same side!"

No matter how you look at it, this guy doesn't seem to have any good intentions!

A monster that even Roya and the Golden Lion could hardly defeat, then naturally it was beyond Captain John's ability to fight against!
then.

Before he could finish speaking, Captain John felt that the woman in front of him had suddenly become a different person!

His temperament, eyes, and demeanor all underwent a complete and utter transformation.

Most importantly, a pair of jet-black wings spread out from its back, and a long, slender tail extended from its lower back!

This posture is simply like a demon descending from mythology!

"One of our own? You and your mother?"

A cold, emotionless voice rang out. Before Captain John could even react to what was happening, the woman's long tail pierced his heart like an arrow.

"It's ridiculous."

Forehead!
Captain John only had time to spit out a mouthful of blood before his eyes quickly lost their luster.

Was he really killed just like that?
That wretched Roya!
If it weren't for you, you brat, insisting on stirring up this incident, I would never have encountered such bad luck!
It's so frustrating!

The woman casually pulled her tail from Captain John's chest, and at the same time, a jet-black flame suddenly erupted from her raised right palm.

"But you're lucky this time. I'm going to make a contract with you, and you can't refuse!"

"Devil's Contract!"

"..."

Captain John, who was limp and unable to move, suddenly widened his eyes.

A pentagram magic circle suddenly appeared beneath his feet.

Later.

Captain John collapsed to the ground, panting heavily. His hand instinctively clutched his chest as he looked up at the slender figure before him, his eyes filled with disbelief and terror.

recovered!
The wound that pierced his heart has actually healed?

Is this for real?
What on earth did this guy do to me?!
"Although it came at the cost of a portion of your lifespan, in exchange, Mu has granted you true immortality. You may kneel down to thank Mu for this blessing."

immortal?

Captain John's facial features were contorted.

Could it be that the immortality of the Knights of God, and even the Five Elders, was bestowed upon them by this woman?

Who is she?
"You should thank me."

The woman's eyes flickered slightly.

Immediately.

"Wow ah ah!"

Suddenly, black energy rose from Captain John's body, and an indescribable, terrifying pain instantly made John tremble all over.

"What exactly did you do to me?"

"Foolish stray dog, don't you realize who your master is even now?"

The only emotion in the woman's voice was condescending arrogance: "Mother said, kneel down."

Captain John knelt down.

will die!

Captain John realized one thing: his life and death were now in the woman's hands; she only needed a thought to take his life.

Captain John didn't want to die.

Especially after having that near-death experience.

No matter how tough a person is, after experiencing the fear of death, they will eventually undergo some changes.

Not to mention, Captain John was not exactly a steadfast man to begin with.

"It seems you finally understand."

The woman nodded slightly. "Then tell me, what exactly are you plotting?"

Upon hearing this, Captain John had only one thought in his mind.

Roya, it seems like you're finally going to be in trouble.

But you can't blame me for this, can you?
I can't possibly sacrifice my own life for the ambitions of you guys, can I?
A city plagued by natural disasters.

"So this time, are we going to attack Mary Geoise directly?"

Teach's voice was filled with anticipation, "Zehahaha! As expected of the Boss! In the eight hundred years since the World Government was founded, nothing like this has ever happened before, has it?"

Actually, it happened; the captain once went to Mary Geoise and caused a scene.

“However, Boss,” Dylan’s voice revealed concern, “isn’t it a bit too early to attack Mary Geoise now? The Knights of God and the Five Elders both have the ability to teleport, so there is no possibility that they will be lured away and unable to provide support.”

"Even if we attack Mary Geoise while they are off guard, they will come back to support us in an instant!"

"That's why I invited everyone to come along."

"Besides," Roya said with a laugh, "it's just going to cause some damage."

The World Government is really annoying. If we don't teach them a lesson they won't forget, they'll definitely come up with a whole bunch of inexplicable conspiracies and schemes.

We need to make that arrogant old man Im understand that we are not just able to threaten the World Government by destroying member states, but we actually have the power to blow up their headquarters!

That way, they'll behave themselves a bit.

Isn’t there a saying that goes well?
Hit a punch to avoid a hundred punches.

The world government needs to carefully consider what taking action would really mean.

Moreover, the weapon that Im possessed must be buried somewhere in Mary Geoise due to a lack of power, right?

In that case, we might be able to take this opportunity to destroy it directly!

They just unleashed all sorts of attacks from tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of meters in the air and then ran away. Even Im couldn't do anything about it, right?
"At that time, a fleet will approach the location where the hunting tournament will be held,"

Roya said cheerfully, "And the moment the battle begins over there, it will start simultaneously on our side."

Just when the World Government mobilized all its forces and thought victory was assured, they gave them a big surprise!

"It's still a bit too dangerous,"

Abel said earnestly, "Boss, if you insist on launching such an operation, please take us with you."

"That's right!"

Loki laughed loudly and said, "Attack Mary Geoise! ​​I've wanted to do this for ages! They're the ones who killed Rocks! It's time to avenge him!"

"Don't talk nonsense,"

Luo Ya said calmly, "I've already said there won't be any direct combat, and even if a war does break out, it won't be a battlefield you're capable of participating in."

If a real war breaks out, the enemy will be at least a knight of gods. Faced with their immortality, these guys under their command are not much of a match.

Instead, they can only become a burden.

"but,"

Roya stroked his chin. "Indeed, safety first."

There is no perfect plan in the world.

No matter how meticulous you are, mistakes can still happen in the places no one pays attention to.

After all, this world is essentially a makeshift operation.

"In that case, at that time,"

Roya turned his head and looked at the woman standing silently beside his throne. "Come with me."

The only people in the world who know about Tengetsu Toki's abilities are Roya and his subordinates.

In other words, as long as the Time-Time Fruit's power is activated, everything will be alright.

Dylan and the others nodded in agreement.

With this woman by my side, there really isn't a problem.

Tian Yueshi paused slightly, then nodded gently.

In any case, the world government has taken action.

In the North Sea, a certain country was chosen at the speed of light, and nearby naval bases immediately dispatched warships to surround the entire country.

Then in Mary Geoise, the Celestial Dragons, eager to participate in this great competition, had already descended upon the Blue Sea and set off by ship.

Of course, this is just the surface.

Secretly, Stussy was reporting the true movements of the World Government to Roya.

Garp and Zephyr had already led the Navy's elite troops on a small boat and quietly set off. The lowest rank was vice admiral, and there was not a single soldier who could be called a grunt.

Meanwhile, in Mary Geoise, almost all of CP0's executives came out, along with several knights of the gods, who were escorting several ships full of various treasures.

Furthermore, news that the Celestial Dragons were going to hold a large-scale event in the North Blue began to spread rapidly in the underworld of the New World, with many people speculating that during this event...

In short, the ambush prepared by the World Government in that country in the North Sea is rapidly taking shape.

and so.

"Then it's time for us to make our move."

Luo Ya raised the corner of his mouth.

The thought that the world government's efforts were all for naught makes me laugh.

So, Roya and his old friends also began to take action.

Luo Ya took Tian Yue Shi to Egghead Island to wait. Before long, the Golden Lion arrived in an island, where Wang Zhi was already waiting.

"You kid,"

The Golden Lion glanced at Roya with some displeasure and snorted, "Is he in heat? And he brought a woman with him!"

Luo Ya did not loosen his arm around Tian Yue's slender waist. He just smiled and said, "There won't be any direct battles, so just treat it as a vacation."

"Vacation? Ha, Roya, you little brat,"

Wang Zhi couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Only you would treat attacking Mary Geoise like a vacation, right?"

Luo Ya shrugged. "It was just for fun anyway. Let's go pick up more people."

So the floating islands continued to operate.

This time, the destination is another isolated island not far from Egghead Island.

Another man was waiting there.

After bringing this man to the island, even Golden Lion couldn't help but exclaim, "It's amazing that you were able to win this guy over, Roya."

"Even that guy Rocks failed, I never imagined that one day we would be fighting alongside you, Harald!"

Wang Zhi also looked up at the enormous thing in front of him, his face full of admiration.

"Humph!"

Harald, who had just landed on the island, snorted coldly while holding his greatsword. "So, what's next?"

He was ultimately no match for Roya's threat.

Joining the World Government would certainly give Elbaf recognition and development, but if they rejected Roja, Elbaf would be doomed.

"Don't worry, you'll find out soon enough."

Luo Ya just smiled, but didn't seem to mean anything by it.

Otherwise, it's really uncertain whether Harald would have joined them in attacking Mary Geoise.

The golden lion raised his eyebrows.

I recall Roya saying that this operation would make them more united.

"They" here includes Harald, right?

What a despicable brat!

"Humph!"

Harald snorted in annoyance at Roya's vague response.

After Harald came Kaido and Ryder; they arrived together.

Then came the silver axe.

Next up is Aunt Lingling.

As expected, Charlotte Linlin swarmed towards Harald the moment she saw him, like a fly that had stumbled upon a pile of shit.
"Mommy, Mommy! Harald! I've wanted to meet you for so long! I am—"

"Of course I know who you are! Charlotte Linlin, I'll never forget what you did in Elbaf! Now, get the hell out of here!"

Harald, who had come under duress from Roya, was in a bad mood, and his disgust was completely undisguised.

"Forehead--"

Charlotte Linlin gave an awkward laugh.

Then he glared at Roya.

Luo Ya simply shrugged. "Don't blame me. I've already successfully introduced you two."

"Let's go, only Uncle John is left."
