One Piece: Lord of Disaster.

Chapter 257 War Game! Beasts of Calamity!
The pirates around the plaza gradually became dazed.

Because Katakuri was standing there.

"That's Katakuri! The White Tyrant, Charlotte Katakuri!!"

"Why is the Pirate Emperor here?!"

"Pony, the Destroyer, is here too! Are you kidding me? Is the Charlotte family going to make a move on Beehive Island?!"

"How could that be? Are they going to break the ceasefire agreement?"

"This is insane! Lord Silver Axe and Lord John will not stand idly by! The World Government will definitely take action too. Do they want the entire New World to be engulfed in war?!"

The pirates screamed in fear and panic.

"yeah--"

Roya turned back slowly and looked at his good brother, "Katakuri, you've really made something of yourself. Now everyone only knows you and no one knows me anymore."

What does it matter if it's something like this?

Katakuri curled his lip and said nonchalantly, "The fear or respect of others is completely meaningless."

"But this is very important to me!"

Roya felt that Katakuri was being hypocritical, getting a good deal while pretending to be innocent.

You should know that 25 years ago, wherever he went, he was greeted by a thick aura of black energy.

Now it's just an unknown stray dog ​​on the street, who's going to fill the void of its dark aura?!
Thinking this, Roya suddenly looked up at a window of the Skull Tower.

Uncle Wang Zhi, you bastard, you're one of the culprits too!

While Roya was fuming, the pirates watching also noticed him.

"Who is that guy? Why does it seem like he's the one making the decisions among the three of them?"

"Did you hear what he just said? He said he's here to seek revenge on Admiral Wang Zhi!"

"Charlotte's new executive? He's just a brat!"

However, the pirates are not all young people.

Although the pirate industry changes very quickly, it doesn't mean that pirates from decades ago have all died out.

Several very old pirates began to stare blankly.

"No way? Did I see that right?!"

"Yes, yes, is it that sir?!"

"How is this possible? He's still alive?"

Then time went back to about half a minute earlier.

In an office on the top floor of the Skull Tower.

"Has the government still not found anything?"

Wang Zhi was talking to a man dressed entirely in white.

"It shouldn't be the Golden Lion,"

The man in the white suit, a Celestial Dragon's direct agent and a member of CP0, calmly shook his head. "The timing doesn't match up. Our people have checked carefully, and he was busy hosting banquets during that period."

"Who else could it be?"

Wang Zhi frowned deeply. "It couldn't be that brat Kaido, could it?"

The three strongest pirates in the New World are Shiki, Whitebeard, and Kaido.

Golden Lion has been cleared of suspicion, and Whitebeard would not have taken the initiative to attack the Seven Warlords of the Sea, so it must be Kaido?

To be honest, with Kaido's abilities, it's not impossible for him to uproot an island.

"That needs to be verified."

CP0 calmly stated, "However, no matter who did this, it can never end here."

"The above means that anyone with the power to sever immortality must never be allowed to live in this world."

Wang Zhi deeply agreed.

Immortality is the greatest asset of the Knights of God; how can we allow someone with the power to break this ability to live?

Just then, a loud bang came from outside the window, as if something had fallen from the sky.

Wang Zhi frowned slightly.

Just as he was about to use his Observation Haki to see what was happening, a voice came from outside the window.
"Uncle Wang Zhi! I'm back for my revenge!"

Wang Zhi's body jolted instantly, and his already somewhat aged face gradually turned pale.

This voice——

how come!
How can it be!

How could such a thing possibly happen?
"Revenge? Could it be that the person who killed Silver Axe has come looking for him again?"

The CP0 officer in the white suit was immediately taken aback. "In that case, we've come at the perfect time—hmm?"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Wang Zhi stand up in a panic, and even stumble to the window, leaning half his body out to look down.

"Wang Zhi?"

CP0 frowned.

What's going on with this guy?

Why do you look so terrified?
Wang Zhi was breathing heavily, his heart pounding so hard it felt like his chest would explode.

No, that's impossible! You must have misheard!
illusion!

It must just be an illusion!

You can't fool me, you definitely can't fool me—

Wang Zhi saw the boy in the square below.

The boy was also looking up at him.

Upon seeing him, a joyful smile blossomed on his face, which was exactly the same as it had been twenty-five years ago.

The handsome and cheerful young man waved his right hand happily at him.

"Yo! Uncle Wang Zhi, I'm here to kill you. Are you ready?"

"Luo...Luo...Luoya..."

Wang Zhi's lips trembled, and then, in the next instant, his voice rose uncontrollably, "Roya!!!"

It's him! !
It's really him!

The monster has really returned; he's back for revenge!

There's no mistake, Silver Axe was killed by him!

In these twenty-five years, he has mastered the power to break free from immortality!

Now he's coming to kill me!
Roja?

CP0, who was about to come over, paused instantly upon hearing Wang Zhi's words.

His pupils also contracted rapidly.

As a top agent of the world government, he was naturally familiar with this name.

Twenty-five years ago, a monster that once gave world governments a major headache!

Has that monster, which disappeared more than twenty years ago, reappeared on the sea?

No, we must report this to the government immediately!
same.

Wang Zhi suddenly turned around.

Call someone!

We must call for help immediately!

Even if Roya were only at the level he was 25 years ago, he would already be completely beyond Roya's ability to contend with!

Not to mention that after such a long period of time, Roya will definitely become stronger. He may have even mastered the power to break through immortality!

We must get that person here!
He rushed straight toward the magic circle not far away.

Meanwhile, in the square.

Bonnie glanced at Roya, who was waving upwards with a smile, then leaned closer to her most respected second brother and whispered,
"Has he always been like this?"

Katakuri smiled broadly. "When Roja really wants to kill someone, he usually looks like this."

"On the contrary, I have never seen any anger or rage in the normal sense on his face."

"Isn't it better to face the world with a smile?"

Roya turned around with a smile, "Besides, isn't killing a very enjoyable thing?"

"Oh."

Bonnie let out a strange, unintelligible cry.

I must say, he truly lives up to the "madman" that Perospero and his friends call him.

"But Roya,"

Katakuri's eyes flashed red. "Wang Zhi seems to be calling for someone."

"Isn't that a bit disrespectful?"

The same red light flashed in Roya's eyes.

He snapped his fingers lightly.

If Wang Zhi really manages to summon the Knights of God and even Im, that would be quite troublesome.

Boom!

A bolt of lightning suddenly struck down from the sky.

This was a bolt of lightning that was entirely black and ten meters wide!
The pitch-black lightning, like a sharp sword piercing through the heavens and earth, instantly shattered the entire Skull Tower.

then.

boom! !

The violent explosion, originating from the inside out, instantly engulfed the entire Skull Tower.

The entire island was shaking, and a violent wind swept through, making the surrounding pirates unsteady on their feet.

At that moment, the pirates were completely dumbfounded.

The building was blown up!

So, does this really mean we're going to start a war?

"Ooh!"

Bonnie's eyes gleamed. "Is it finally going to begin?"

"Ok?"

Katakuri raised an eyebrow. He noticed a birdman on the roof of a house not far away, snapping away at them with a Den Den Mushi.

Morgans... That's right, Roya was talking to him that night, wasn't she?

That kid Luo Ya, more than twenty years ago, what he showed to everyone was enough to make people's hearts tremble.

In reality, he was hiding something even more extraordinary.

"Roya!!"

Suddenly, the smoke-filled ruins ahead unfolded, and a figure slowly emerged from the rubble.

Wang Zhi's clothes were tattered, and his skin had several charred spots.

He stared intently at the smiling Roya, his teeth almost grinding to powder, his facial muscles twitching. "Why did you come back! Why did you dare to come back!"

Wang Zhi clenched his fists, veins bulging on his arms, and he almost roared, "Luo Ya! Times have changed! The world where you could run rampant no longer exists! This ocean no longer has a place for you! Wouldn't it be better for you to die peacefully in some unknown corner?"

His roar stunned the pirates around him.

"Does Boss Wang Zhi know that kid?"

"It's not just a simple acquaintance, is it? Admiral Wang Zhi's attitude... is he afraid?"

"Roya? Where did this guy come from? I've never even heard of that name before!"

The pirates were puzzled.

Therefore, the classic background character makes his appearance.

"There's no mistake! That guy is Roya, the Cataclysmic Roya!!"

"Luo Ya, the Calamity? Who?"

"Of course you kids born in the new era wouldn't know, because he was a figure who was active more than 20 years ago!"

"Twenty-five years ago? He was only a few years old then!"

"Although I don't know what happened, it can't be wrong to say it's him! He's a remnant of the Rocks Pirates, just like Lord Wang Zhi, Golden Lion, Whitebeard, Kaido, and Charlotte Linlin! He was one of the Seven Who Divided the New World more than twenty years ago! He's known as the most evil man in history!"

"The worst in history? Is it really that exaggerated?"

"Exaggerated? Although his wanted poster can't be found at all now, I'll never forget the shock the world felt when the Navy issued his last wanted poster twenty-five years ago! Back then, his bounty had already reached six billion Berries!"

"What? Six billion? Roger only got five billion, and Shiki and Whitebeard only got a little over five billion! So what kind of monster is this guy?!"

The pirates' exclamations rose and fell.

However, Luo Ya acted as if he hadn't heard, and just looked at Wang Zhi with a deeper smile. He even took a deep breath, somewhat intoxicated, "I came back for moments like this, Uncle Wang Zhi. Just like now, your fear is truly delicious."

You mean fear?

Wang Zhi's expression changed drastically, his eyes even turning somewhat bloodshot. "You're telling me, I'm afraid of you?"

"You trash! What are you waiting for?!"

Anger erupted in the man's chest like a volcano, "Kill them all!!"

"You're already terrified, aren't you?"

Bonnie crossed his arms and said with a nonchalant expression.

"Because he knew he was doomed."

Katakuri chuckled.

It's foreseeable that Roya won't give him the chance to call for help or teleport away.

Wang Zhi has probably already guessed that Luo Ya possesses the ability to break through immortality.

So, of course he's doomed.

Knowing they were doomed, they began their final struggle.

Behind Wang Zhi, ruins exploded one after another, and figures were ejected out.

They were all cadres under Wang Zhi's command, and each of them exuded a strong aura.

"Go together!"

They roared, "Whether it's Roya or Katakuri, now it's all about fighting!"

The officers were well aware of the current situation. One Roya was already terrifying enough, not to mention the Pirate Emperor Katakuri and Charlotte Bonney, the greatest masterpiece of the Charlotte Family!

But now, is there any other choice but to fight?
"Go on!"

The pirates, drawn by the previous series of loud noises, roared and charged towards Roya and his companions.

Even now, only a small number of pirates know Roja's true identity.

And even if you knew, so what?
Without personally experiencing that era, one cannot truly understand what the title "Luo Ya, the Calamity of Nature" means.

In the eyes of pirates of this era, he was not even as good as a single hair of the Pirate Emperor.

And so, the pirates surged in like a tidal wave.

Some of them were even from the navy.

Meanwhile, on the outer periphery...

An officer was sweating profusely as he dialed his superior's number.

Great incident!
Huge event!
The monster that should have disappeared into history has returned to the sea!

"Coming, coming, coming!"

Bonnie eagerly reached for the hilt of the greatsword behind her back. "This is what I've been waiting for!"

Finally, we can cause a huge ruckus!

but.

"Since we're going to play, let's play to our hearts' content!"

Roya's lips curled into a smile, his eyes now a completely different color, black and white. "How about we have a war game?"

An invisible force swept across the entire field in an instant.

In an instant, about half of the pirates' eyes suddenly turned pitch black, and then, within this darkness, white pupils suddenly appeared.

Without exception, a strange smile appeared on their faces at that moment.

"Oh, and you guys too."

Luo Ya looked up again at the cadres under Wang Zhi who were rushing towards him.

He glared at him seriously.

As a result, the eyes of half of these cadres also began to change shape.

Then, without hesitation, these officers pulled the triggers and swung their blades at the pirates beside them who, just seconds before, had been their colleagues.

"Wow!!"

The remaining half of the cadres, caught off guard by the sudden attack, looked bewildered and terrified. "What are you doing!"

"Hehehe! For Lord Roya!!"

"I'm going to kill you all!!"

The cadres who had been "transformed" smiled strangely.

Not only them, but all the transformed pirates simultaneously launched an attack on the unchosen pirates beside them.

In the blink of an eye, the island was in complete chaos.

"What are you doing?!"

"Ouch! My intestines are coming out! Help me, please help me!"

"They've gone mad! They've gone mad!"

Screams, screams, and roars filled the air.

A large number of pirates were severely injured or even killed in that instant.

And it's not just pirates.

"Lieutenant General! Beehive Island has been attacked! It's the Calamity of Roya—"

The naval officer, who was anxiously reporting to his superiors, suddenly stiffened.

He turned around in disbelief.

"I'm sorry, sir!"

His loyal subordinate, whose eyes had turned black and whose pupils were pale, said to him with a strange smile, "Lord Roya says he wants to play games!"

Of course, not all pirates were killed at that moment. Most of them barely survived, and unsurprisingly, they began to fight back in order to survive.

The island instantly became a battlefield.

The pirates, who were originally going to join forces to fight the enemy, split into two groups and began a desperate battle.

However, the battle was completely one-sided.

because.

"Hehehe! For Lord Roya! It's worth dying for!"

"It hurts! It hurts! It hurts so much! Lord Roya! Does this pain please you?!"

"For Lord Roya, give up everything you have!"

Those who become changui are no longer human; they will do anything to carry out Roya's will.

Even if their hearts are pierced, they will laugh and swing their swords in retaliation.

Even with their limbs broken, they would still shout for Lord Roya and wriggle, trying to tear the enemy apart with their mouths.

"Madmen! They're all madmen!!"

The pirates who were not chosen by Roya began to break down.

"this--"

Bonney stared in disbelief, "Katakuri-nii, was it like this back then too?"

Katakuri chuckled. "It's just not that exaggerated."

Wang Zhi gritted his teeth, his jaw grinding. "Luo Ya!!!"

He's really become even more powerful, that monster Roya!!
Even his own subordinates started killing each other!

Roya slowly stepped forward, a pair of huge horns extending from his forehead, and his broad wings slowly unfurling.

At this moment, still largely maintaining his human form, he resembled a demon descended from hell.

"It's just you left, Uncle Wang Zhi. How about I find you an opponent? If you can defeat it, I'll let you go."

Roya stamped his foot. "Come forth, Beast of Calamity, its name is Typhon!"

Boom!

The ground beneath their feet shattered instantly, and a massive chasm suddenly appeared.

This enormous chasm was bottomless, with darkness below, as if it led straight into hell.

boom!
A giant hand suddenly reached up from below the chasm and grabbed the edge of the cliff.

The next instant, a monster crawled out of hell!
