One Piece: Lord of Disaster.

Chapter 245 Shocking Change! You're here in T0 too? Black to Domination!
The agreed meeting place with Captain John was a deserted island between the World of Warships and Dressrosa.

As for why they didn't go directly to Dressrosa to pick him up, it was obviously because they were worried about exposing their whereabouts, as Dressrosa was too close to the new Marine Headquarters.

The original plan was to catch the World Government off guard, cause some damage in Mary Geoise and then run away. If their whereabouts were exposed and the World Government became prepared, not only would they have made a wasted trip, but they might also be counterattacked. Wouldn't that be too annoying?
So apart from Roya, who was on a ship on Bullet Island, all the other big guys left their own territory and found a deserted place to land on the floating island.

Although it's a bit troublesome, we must do extraordinary things in extraordinary times.

Nobody wants to be bothered by the World Government anymore, so let's just bear with it for a bit.

Fortunately, after picking up Charlotte Linlin, we were already very close to the island we had agreed upon with Captain John.

The floating island sped forward high in the sky.

On the edge of the island, Roya sat leisurely on the cliff, swinging his legs playfully. The clouds were split open by the island, and cool clouds brushed past Roya's feet.

"Haha! Look, I'm washing my feet in the clouds!"

Roya's face was full of joy, and every muscle seemed to be etched with a smile.

He was always cheerful, and his smile at this moment was even more genuine.

Tianyue stood behind him, her exquisitely beautiful face expressionless.

Actually, sometimes she really felt that Luo Ya was just a child who never grew up.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Luo Ya is innocent, lively, and cute.

Rather, just like those children who would kill all the insects they caught by any means, Roya's heart was filled with such an almost instinctive destructive desire.

However, unlike ordinary children, the garden where Roya runs wild is this world, the ants that he laughs as he pours boiling water into their nests are people, and the butterflies that he captures and keeps as specimens because of their beauty are himself.

Does Roya hate anyone?

I'm afraid not.

Even towards his greatest enemy, Im, Roya felt no hatred whatsoever. He simply wanted to kill the guy and take his place. In fact, he harbored a strange sense of disappointment and frustration towards Im, feeling that Im was too kind to the world.

Did Roya have someone he specifically wanted to kill?
It seems not.

Having shared a bed for so long, Tian Yueshi had actually come to a conclusion long ago that even she found hard to believe.

Luo Ya actually dislikes killing.

He has said more than once that humanity is the most valuable resource.

He's just like a child; he just wants to run wild and torment the world for fun.

Ironically, he possessed this power.

Even Im, even the Im who destroyed everything, is better than Roya.

Tianyue couldn't imagine what the world would become if Luo Ya conquered it.

Who can stop him?
Forehead!
Tian Yue's face suddenly turned pale.

Just thinking about it for a moment made her heart feel like it was twisting, and the intense fear almost suffocated her.

"You're really taking it easy, aren't you?"

With heavy footsteps, Kaido walked over, drinking his wine. "After picking up John, you're heading straight to Mary Geoise, right?"

"Barring any unforeseen circumstances, there won't be any fighting at all, right?"

Luo Ya was very relaxed.

They drop a few islands and dozens or even hundreds of meteorites from tens of kilometers in the air and then run away. Im doesn't even know if he can stop them, but how is that guy supposed to catch up?
Even if it were Im's true form, it would be unlikely to catch up, right?

If that doesn't work, then go for something even higher.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to just get a space-based weapon.

Hmm, thinking about it this way, in a world where anyone who can fly can physically enter the universe, Uncle Shiki's Float-Float Fruit does seem a bit too powerful, doesn't it?
"Tsk."

Kaido seemed quite displeased with this, even letting out a cold snort, "Is there any need to be so afraid? The World Government has to win over Wang Zhi and even Harald if they want to fight us, which just proves that their forces aren't as strong as we thought."

Roya just smiled.

Kaido is still too young.

According to Joy Boy's comment, while Im's strength is not as great as his, he is definitely a super monster who has surpassed the limits of humanity.

Eight hundred years have passed since then, and unless Im has been wasting his time all these years, Roya doesn't think that guy has surpassed Joy Boy.

Last time, the mere possession of another body already demonstrated strength surpassing even the top-tier pirates; the true form's power will only be even greater.

Now is not the time to confront Im.

A warning is enough.

But then again, there must be some reason why Im can't be exposed to outsiders, right?

Otherwise, how could Sabo have escaped unscathed after meeting Im?
Im had already severely injured Sabo with a single blow. At that time, Sabo still had the strength of an admiral, right?

Seeing that Roya didn't even bother to answer, Kaido couldn't help but snort again.

It was at this moment that the floating island began to descend.

The colossal object shattered the clouds in the sky and plummeted downwards with the force to crush everything in its path.

After the clouds dispersed, the island below was revealed.

On the edge of the island, Captain John stood silently.

He held the wine bottle in his hand, simply gazing upwards in silence.

Looking up at that island that seemed to have fallen from the sky.

"Hey! Uncle John!"

Once the island had descended to a certain altitude, John could clearly see Roya sitting on the edge of the island, smiling and waving at him.

"We've come to pick you up!"

Behind Roya, one figure after another appeared.

Kaido, Ryder, Silver Axe, Wang Zhi, Shiki, Linlin, and Harald, who is as big as a small mountain.

"What are you still doing?"

The golden lion, a cigar dangling from his lips, scoffed, "You want everyone to wait for you?"

Captain John took the last sip of his drink, and, as was his habit, threw the half-full bottle into the sea ahead.

Then, the man raised his hand to wipe the remaining wine from the corner of his mouth, and then sprang straight up.

He stepped on the air, and in just a few leaps, he landed on the edge of the island.

"Now, everyone is here!"

Upon seeing his friend arrive, Wang Zhi couldn't help but smile.

"Mommy mommy!"

Charlotte Linlin laughed heartily and said, "Let's get this done quickly, I'm waiting for the victory celebration!"

As she said this, she casually glanced at Harald beside her.

Everyone knows what the banquet she was talking about was really for.

"So, what exactly do you want to do? Now you can tell me!"

Harald was completely oblivious to Charlotte Linlin's gaze; he simply questioned her with some impatience.

"Well,"

Roya raised the corners of his mouth. "It's nothing, I'm just preparing to go to Mary Geoise."

"what?"

Harald's expression suddenly changed drastically. "You want to attack Mary Geoise?"

Just kidding!
Are these guys crazy?
That's the World Government's headquarters, the Celestial Dragons' gathering place!

If he were to do something like that, putting aside the pirates for now, wouldn't his presence there mean that Elbaf had directly declared war on the World Government?
Despite Harald's shock, Roya simply smiled and said, "It's not you, it's us."

"Bastard thing!!"

Harald was so angry he gritted his teeth.

He never imagined that this bastard Roya would be so unscrupulous!
In that case, wouldn't there be no room for negotiation between Elbaf and the government?
"Heh heh heh heh! It's too late to say anything now, Harald!"

The Golden Lion found it amusing to see Harald so anxious that he was almost losing his composure. Wasn't he so confident and self-righteous when he rejected that bastard Rocks?
Roya won't tolerate you.

"Everyone's here now, just waiting for me to go and get a few more islands!"

"Hehehe! Although it wasn't enough to have a good time, it's not bad to teach the World Government a profound lesson!"

"Mommy, Mommy! What are we waiting for!"

Laughter filled the air along the shore of the floating island.

but.

"Ok?"

Luo Ya turned around in surprise. Was there someone who wasn't laughing?
For a moment, Roya's gaze froze.

"No way?"

He blinked, looking at Captain John, who had somehow walked to the back of the group. "Uncle John, is this graffiti? But this design doesn't look very auspicious."

Upon hearing Luo Ya's words, the group of people who were laughing almost simultaneously turned around instinctively.

Then they saw John raise his right hand towards the ground in front of him.

Then, a pentagram pattern took shape on the ground.

Captain John turned around and gave the group a strange smile.
"I'm sorry, but you said everyone is here."

Crack!

Thick black smoke suddenly surged up from the magic circle.

At the same time, huge black lightning bolts shot out in all directions.

Without any hesitation, a pair of horns suddenly grew from Luo Ya's forehead.

The ground where the magic circle was located shattered instantly—

It should have been broken.

Because a figure had already emerged from the magic circle.

It was a slender and tall figure.

He held a demonic trident in his hand, his broad bat wings spread behind him, and his long tail, extending from his lower back, twisted in the air.

"Do you like this surprise?"

A detached female voice rang out.

Golden Lion, Ryder, and Kaido, who had already dealt with him once, all changed their expressions instantly.

"Are you kidding me! This woman—"

The cigar in the golden lion's mouth fell to the ground.

"This is going to be a problem."

Ryder's lips twitched slightly.

Luo Ya said he was only there to lend a hand and boost morale, and there would be no fighting.

Roya, you liar!
"John! You bastard, you betrayed us!"

Kaido glared at Captain John and then grabbed Wang Zhi's shoulder, saying, "You bastard, you're with him too, aren't you!"

"I don't know what's going on either!"

Wang Zhi was indeed completely bewildered. He looked at Captain John in disbelief and said, "John, what are you doing?! Have you been colluding with the World Government behind our backs?!"

Even if they really wanted to hook up, they should have talked to me first!

Didn't you just put me and Silver Axe in a very awkward position?

Silver Axe, standing beside him, indeed wore an embarrassed expression. This sudden turn of events had caught him somewhat off guard. "It's a long story."

Facing his former allies, Captain John could only shrug helplessly and sigh, "Anyway, I had no choice."

"Is this the Celestial Dragon woman you were talking about before?"

Charlotte Linlin stared intently at the expressionless Im. "What's there to be afraid of? In the end, he's just one person, while there are so many of us—"

The magic circle beneath Im's feet expanded several times in an instant.

Roya immediately activated his ability to cause an earthquake on the island in an attempt to prevent what was to come.

However, Im's dark aura completely enveloped the entire island, preventing the earthquake from achieving the effect Roa wanted.

Then, figures appeared one after another from the magic circle.

Many of them are old acquaintances.

The Five Elders, Figaland Gellinger, the young Somaz...

The Five Elders and the Knights of God!

"Forehead……"

Charlotte Linlin suddenly lost her voice.

It's not over yet!
Below, on the sea surface, a ship encased in bubbles suddenly bursts out of the water.

One after another, figures were launched from the ship and crashed onto the isolated island in the sky a few seconds later.

They are the elite naval forces led by hero Garp and Admiral Zephyr, as well as some high-ranking CP0 officers in white uniforms.

However, at this moment, Garp and Zephyr, the two pillars of the Navy, were standing behind an old man with white hair.

"Hehehe, this old man can still do his part for justice."

The old man, Isaac, the Commander-in-Chief of the World Government's Armed Forces, said with a smile.

"Surrender, you scum!"

Zefa's voice was cold and sharp, "This time, you have nowhere to escape!"

The power that the world government can muster is truly astounding!

Is this truly going all out?

However, in any case, getting rid of these scumbags would be a great thing for the world.

Silver Axe couldn't help but swallow.

Isn't that a bit too exaggerated?
At this moment, Luo Ya couldn't help but look at Tian Yue beside him, and he reached out and took the woman's hand.

Thank goodness, thank goodness we brought this woman along!
Otherwise, things would have really gone wrong today!

I was deceived!

John actually chose to betray them.

There's no reason for that. If he joins the World Government, how could he possibly gain a higher status?
His ability to open the teleportation array means that he has been given power by Im.

That means life and death are controlled by Im!

Was it forced? How can something like this be forced?

That wretched Im, why didn't you use this ability sooner!
It made me completely unaware of this possibility!

But in any case, things are in big trouble now.

"What are you afraid of!"

Kaido roared, "We've fought before, back in Loguetown!"

Compared to the last time in Loguetown, the World Government's forces haven't increased much this time!
Although Rayleigh wasn't there to help this time, Harald was even stronger!

There's also Wang Zhi, Silver Axe, and Lingling!

What's there to be afraid of?

Luo Ya's mouth twitched.

The reason I was able to fight to that extent last time was because I dealt with the Five Elders first.

This time, Im appeared ahead of schedule, and he didn't even have enough dark energy to replenish himself.

I think I should just slip away first.

That's the time.

"Harald,"

Im, who had been silent all along, raised his head and looked at the giant king, whose face was stiff. "You chose the pirates, so you want to make Elbaf an enemy of the government?"

not good!

Luo Ya suddenly turned his head.

But can Harald still be threatened now?

Fear is fear -

"I was forced into this situation!"

Harald sighed. "That bastard Roya said that if I choose to help you, he will destroy Elbaf. You know his abilities; he has that kind of power."

Upon hearing this, even under the current circumstances, Charlotte Linlin couldn't help but look down at Roya.

Is this what you meant by having a good relationship with Harald?
The Five Elders' expressions were also somewhat strange.

They pondered for a long time how Roya had managed to win Harald's support.

Is it really that simple?

"I see, so you can threaten me with your country? I understand now."

Im nodded slightly.

"No hiding, no resistance, or Mu will also destroy Elbaf."

Im raised his right hand. "If Roya can do it, the government can certainly do it too."

Harald's body suddenly stiffened.

Does the world government also use this approach?

However, the world government does indeed possess that kind of power!
Luo Ya's lips twitched.

Yes, yes, that's exactly what I'm afraid of!

Im, that bastard actually plagiarized my signature move!

And Harald, you shameless bastard! Do you think you can just blindly obey anyone who threatens you?
Can't you have a little bit of backbone?

"Devil's Pact"

A pentagram pattern appeared in Im's hand.

Immediately, the pentagram flew out and landed at Harald's feet.

"Hey! Harald! Think of Loki!"

Roya quickly launched an emergency psychological attack on Harald, saying, "If you don't resist, I won't let that kid get away with it!"

Harald glanced at Roya almost instinctively.

Loki!

"He doesn't have that chance; everyone has to die here."

Im said calmly, "And if you do nothing as I say, Elbaf will join the World Government, and your son will be safe and sound."

This is the end of the calf.

Luo Ya sighed with a touch of melancholy.

Harald then remained motionless.

That was exactly what he had been dreaming of.

So, what exactly does this guy want to do to him?
Im nodded in satisfaction. "The contract has been reached, so,"

"Black Domination!"

The ground beneath Harald's feet seemed to turn into mud instantly, and half of his body sank into it.

Then, to everyone's astonishment, the enormous magic circle suddenly flipped, burying Harald's upper body in the ground—or rather, sending him to another dimension.

"This, what is this?"

Even a man as knowledgeable as the Golden Lion couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

Wang Zhi was completely dumbfounded.

Because the next moment, Harald stood up.

"Enjoyable! Enjoyable like never before! Hahahaha!"

He let out a strange laugh.

Harald, who was already ridiculously tall, swelled up by more than half again, turning into a super monster that was over 100 meters tall!

It's not just body shape that's changing!

Harald grew a pair of huge bat wings from his back and sharp teeth from his mouth.

The greatsword in his hand turned pitch black and grew to a size that perfectly matched his physique.

"What country, what family, what compatriots, nothing can hold me back now!"

Even her personality underwent a complete 180-degree turn.

"Do you know what you should do next?"

"Im said calmly."

"Of course!"

The demon Harald nodded without hesitation, "Of course I will obey your orders!"

"..."

The golden lion's pupils constricted.

Such a thing actually happened?

What exactly is this woman's ability?

That's Harald!

Not to mention him, even Garp and Zephyr, who were on the same side, were dumbfounded.

Who exactly is this woman?

Not finished yet.

At this moment, Im looked at Wang Zhi, Silver Axe, and Charlotte Lingling, "Unlike Roya and the other three, you don't necessarily have to die, so what is your answer?"

silence.

But the silence lasted only a moment.

"Of course I choose to abandon darkness and embrace the light!"

Without any hesitation, Wang Zhi said loudly with a beaming smile, "If Roya hadn't threatened me, how could there have been this misunderstanding today! I've always wanted to cooperate with the World Government!"

At the same time, he leaped to the other side, then turned back to glare angrily at Roya and the others, declaring, "I am sworn enemies of evil pirates!"

"Me too!"

Silver Axe followed closely behind.

And so, a desperate situation arose.
