One Piece: Lord of Disaster.

Chapter 268 Reassembly! A Steel Torrent! The Terrifying Calamity Knights!
Three shadows were rapidly falling from the sky towards the ship where Roya was.

"Tsk!"

Surrounded by a group of giant demons, Loki's face clearly showed his displeasure. "The annoying guy is here!"

Teach unconsciously hid behind Roya, "Boss, you have to protect me!"

Because of Barrett?

Luo Ya said with interest.

"You don't know,"

Teach immediately complained, "After you left, no one could control Barrett. He trained like a madman, forcing everyone else to work out as hard as they could!"

He said,

Doflamingo interjected quietly, "If anyone fails to satisfy you upon your return, he will crush that person's head."

"Then you should thank Barrett."

Roya chuckled and said, "Otherwise, he wouldn't be the one to crush your heads."

"Hahaha..."

Titch gave an awkward laugh twice.

Right, should I say that Barrett was simply carrying out the boss's will?

Just then, three figures suddenly crashed onto the deck of the large ship.

The three men had already knelt down on one knee in a row in front of Roya.

"Boss! Welcome back!" X3
Three voices sounded at the same time.

Luo Ya sized up the three people in front of him.

Abel is on the left.

Abel is 43 years old this year. It's clear that he hasn't used pure gold yet, or he only started using it recently. He already looks like a mature middle-aged man.

He was dressed in a black leather jacket and pants, with large black wings folded behind him and flames burning fiercely behind his head.

The one in the middle is Dylan.

He should have been using pure gold long ago, and there's basically no significant change since then compared to twenty-five years ago.

The one on the right is Barrett.

He is only two years younger than Abel, and his appearance is about the same age as Abel.

His physique was in no way inferior to Abel, who was just over six meters tall. His muscles were bulging all over his body, making his dark military uniform look bulge.

The three of them looked at Luo Ya with excitement, their eyes practically spitting fire.

It wasn't just Roya observing the three of them; Teach's slovenly subordinates were also cautiously scrutinizing Dylan and his companions.

These three people were completely unknown at sea.

However, according to Captain Teach, these three were the original executives of the Catastrophe Company!

Especially the two monsters named Barrett and Abel, who are super strongmen that even Captain Teach and Loki cannot defeat!
So, just how powerful is the Disaster Company?

"Get up, Dylan, Barrett, Abel."

Luo Ya chuckled, "Thank you for your hard work, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

He had doubts about whether Teach, Loki, and Moria might betray him, but he never doubted their loyalty.

The three of them were Roya's original and most loyal subordinates.

"how come!"

The three of them stood up at the same time. Dylan's tone was fervent, "Boss, your safe return is already the greatest reward for us! Waiting for your return is our bounden duty!"

"That's right! Boss! Only by following behind you can we find the meaning of life!!"

Barrett's eyes welled up with tears; this man, as tough as steel, was almost crying.
"We have finally awaited your return! Natural disasters are about to strike this world once again!"

"Boss,"

Abel stated bluntly, "For twenty-five years, we have been preparing for this day!"

"Now, with just your command, we can immediately announce to the world the return of Disaster Company!"

"Ah."

Roya nodded slightly. "Then, follow me again."

"This time, we'll turn the world upside down."

"Yes!"

The three responded in unison, their faces filled with barely suppressed excitement.

They have waited for a full twenty-five years!

During this long period of time, they also hesitated and struggled with whether the Boss would ever come back.

But each time, they quickly reaffirmed their beliefs.

The boss will return sooner or later!
All they have to do is strengthen the power of the Disaster Company!
Anyway, with pure gold available, they can wait for tens of thousands of years!

Fortunately, the Boss has returned in just twenty-five years! Although twenty-five years is a long time, it is not too long.

"Hahaha! The war is about to begin!"

Behind Roya, Teach grinned wickedly, "After twenty-five years, our Disaster Company is finally able to launch a full-scale attack again!"

"Tikki!"

At that moment, Barrett suddenly glared fiercely at Teach, "You bastard, what have you been doing these past few years? Sending back fewer and fewer resources."

"This isn't my fault!"

Teach quickly retorted, "As our reputation grows, the World Government's pursuit and suppression of us will naturally intensify! Gathering resources will naturally become more difficult!"

"Hmph, that's best."

Barrett snorted, then a cold smile crept across his face. "And Teach, Dover, Becky, and—"

He turned his head and glanced at Loki, who was standing not far away. "Loki, you guys had better not slack off these past few years!"

Luo Ya raised an eyebrow. "They're really strict."

"Tsk."

Loki snorted in annoyance, "You bastard, who do you think you are! You still want to treat me like a brat and teach me a lesson even now!"

"Hehehe, you don't need to worry about that, Barrett!"

Teach laughed heartily, "The Boss already tested us back on Beehive Island! He was very satisfied."

"Ah."

Roya nodded slightly. "Teach and Loki are both quite strong."

"Since you are satisfied, Boss, it seems they have done a really good job."

Barrett bowed his head respectfully once again.

"alright,"

Luo Ya looked up at the enormous creature floating in mid-air above him. "Aren't you going to take me back to see what kind of power you've accumulated over these twenty-five years?"

"Yes!"

Dylan nodded solemnly. "Boss, please come with us. Judge is eager to tell you about all the achievements he has made in the past twenty-five years."

"I'm really looking forward to it too."

Luo Ya raised the corner of his mouth.

Then, the colossal object in the sky lowered its altitude again, and the clouds on this side suddenly changed shape, forming a huge passage leading to this sky city.

Even more amazingly, the clouds that resembled steps on the passageway kept rolling upwards, just like an escalator.

"interesting."

Luo Yaxin walked up to her.

Dylan followed closely behind him and explained, "These are all the masterpieces of the meteorologists in Visalia. The clouds surrounding this base are special creations that are somewhere between sea clouds and island clouds. They can change shape at will and also have a physical form that can be touched."

Luo Ya nodded slightly. "Are those old men still alive?"

He also remembered that most of the meteorologists in Visalia were elderly men with white beards.

"Yes, Boss, they are all still alive and well because of the presence of pure gold."

Dylan said.

So, the appearance of pure gold was really just right. It even went to the moon before traveling through time. Could it be that this was some kind of guidance from fate?
Interesting.

A leisurely smile played on Luo Ya's lips.

Did fate choose me?
Not bad at all.

Soon, the escalator made of clouds reached its end. Before Roya could even take in the view, he heard an excited shout.

"Boss! You're finally back!"

A man rushed over, tears streaming down his face from overwhelming excitement.

"Oh, it's Judge?"

Luo Ya chuckled, "You haven't changed at all since then."

She's even a bit heavier than she was 25 years ago, and her complexion has improved a lot.

Could it be that we've been slacking off for the past twenty-five years?
This is not possible.

You're so young, it's the perfect time to strive and work hard. At this age, can you sleep at night?
"It's all thanks to the pure gold you left behind, Boss!"

Judge wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, then his expression suddenly turned proud. He stepped aside and waved his right hand behind him, "Boss! Look, here is the power we have accumulated for you over the past twenty-five years!"

"Oh."

Luo Ya's eyes widened slightly.

Unlike the city of natural disasters of yesteryear, the top deck of this sky city is completely flat, almost like a small plain.

Meanwhile, on this enormous platform, in front of Roya, were rows and rows of huge ships.

All the ships are large vessels, 500 meters in length, made entirely of metal, without masts or sails, and with an overall spindle-shaped structure.

"Even though I've seen it many times, it's still so amazing."

Teach, who was following behind Roya, couldn't help but sigh.

"what is this?"

Roya approached the massive metal ships with great interest.

“It’s an improved spaceship!” Judge quickly explained, “Because the original Sky City was too slow, they were originally designed to connect the Sky Island with the Moon.”

"I designed a turbine propulsion system to greatly increase the speed of these spacecraft, which can significantly shorten the travel time from the sky island to the moon."

"But then I thought, these ships could be used in war, they have the power to dominate the skies! So I built fifty space battleships intermittently!"

"With this new city of natural disasters as its base, even without Enel as its energy source, its maximum combat radius is over two thousand kilometers! Even after the energy is exhausted, it can continue to fly using weather technology, although the speed will be much slower! In addition, with the ground-attack weapons mounted on the ship, they can easily suppress an entire sea area!"

Is Enel an energy source?

Luo Ya smiled.

This explains why warships with a maximum combat radius of only 2,000 kilometers can easily travel between the sky island and the moon.

"not bad."

Luo Ya nodded with a smile.

This sky city is an aerospace mothership, and these aerospace warships are carrier-based aircraft.

Its enormous size even allows it to be used as a transport aircraft.

After passing through the square formation of fifty enormous metal ships, Roya saw a sea of ​​people.

A sea of ​​dark heads formed a shadowy cloud.

Of course, they all have the same face, and to be honest, it's really scary when you look closely. It's like you've stumbled into the scene of a horror movie.

At least the few pirates who were obediently following Teach were startled.

Bakis was initially looking at the enormous ships with amazement when he was so frightened by the copy-paste soldiers that he almost screamed.

"Boss, these are the latest generation of android soldiers, totaling 150,000."

Judge explained, "Their strength and stamina are about twice that of the clone soldiers from twenty-five years ago! Their lifespan is also no different from that of ordinary people."

"Ok?"

Luo Ya raised an eyebrow slightly. "Lifespan is no different from that of ordinary people?"

Judge immediately realized that the Boss's habit of tormenting people had kicked in again.

He quickly said, "Because resources are limited, and we don't know exactly when you'll be back, so to avoid waste... after all, it's impossible to equip all clone soldiers with pure gold..."

"Tsk, what a pity."

Roya sighed.

No wonder the concentration of black energy in this floating city wasn't much higher than outside.

Disappointing.

Beyond the densely packed ranks of clone soldiers lay thousands of tanks and armored vehicles, along with heavy artillery several times the number of tanks and armored vehicles combined.

Upon seeing this queue, only one thought flashed through Roya's mind.

A torrent of steel.

It's enough to fight World War II.

"My envisioned combat method is that aerospace warships carry tanks and soldiers directly to the target location, and then carry out a saturation bombardment from the sky to basically destroy the enemy's manpower. After that, the soldiers and tanks will be airdropped down to clear the battlefield."

"It's just that I haven't had the chance to put it into practice yet."

It's quite modern.

Luo Ya couldn't help but chuckle softly; it was a classic example of a steel torrent blitzkrieg.

It could be said that it was hundreds of years ahead of the current ocean.

"And then, Judge, is that all?"

"Of course it's impossible!"

Judge immediately became serious. "These are just the most insignificant and trivial parts!"

"Oh?"

Luo Ya raised an eyebrow. "That's something I'm quite curious about."

"These weapons can certainly play a crucial role in conventional warfare,"

Judge said seriously, "But in the battles of true powerhouses, they are like fireworks, only good for adding to the excitement!"

"Boss! Please come with me. What I am about to show you are our greatest achievements over the past twenty-five years!"

Judge led Roya into a huge building in one corner of the platform.

This is actually a huge elevator, so big that even Loki could easily get in. It was probably designed to transport those giant warships.

The elevator went all the way down, and because there were no elevator doors, Roya could easily see the decks going up one by one.

Soon, the elevator stopped on a certain floor.

"Boss! You're finally back!!"

Another excited voice rang out, and a man who had been waiting there eagerly stepped forward.

Roya glanced at the guy briefly. "Caesar?"

"Whoosh! It's me, Boss!"

Caesar, who hadn't changed much since then, was also visibly excited. "Next, I'll introduce you to the strongest legion of our Calamity Company!!"

Judge pursed his lips but didn't say anything.

"Lead the way."

"Yes!"

Soon, Caesar led Roya and the others to the edge of a spacious training ground.

It's immediately obvious that this training ground is specially made; the floor and walls are made of some kind of special alloy.

"We chose this location to show you the city, and to avoid damaging it."

Caesar said with a grin, "Look, Boss! This is the Calamity Knights!"

Roya looked towards the field.

Rows of people stood neatly on the spacious training field.

It's the same old face shared with the clone soldiers, only this one looks a bit younger.

She looks to be around twenty years old.

There were about a hundred people in total, and everyone had a blank expression.

"The Calamity Knight?"

Roya chuckled, "An evolved version of the Calamity Knight from back then?"

"That's right! Boss!"

Caesar's smile was radiant. "These are fourth-generation bloodline factor androids! The total number is one hundred and five!"

"They possess stronger and more diverse bloodline abilities, and more importantly, they are better suited to domineering abilities!"

"Oh?"

Luo Ya's smile widened. "Then what are we waiting for? Let's demonstrate it quickly."

"Yes!"

Caesar nodded with pleasure, then gave orders to the Calamity Knights on the field, "Number One and Number Two, step forward. Let's begin the actual combat."

Before he finished speaking, two figures suddenly darted out from the queue.

The two looked almost identical, differing only in hair color; one had gray hair, and the other had blue hair.
The two figures collided almost instantly, and a surge of energy spread outwards, accompanied by leaping bolts of powerful lightning.

"Oh."

Luo Ya raised an eyebrow. "Not bad, that's imposing."

With his sharp eyesight, he could clearly see that the fists of the two androids colliding were covered with a dark, domineering aura.

Armament Haki of a genuine, hardened level.

The two androids were evenly matched, and after one punch, both of them were sent flying backward.

then.

The gray-haired android suddenly roared.

The air in front of him instantly began to distort, and the invisible force even made the hard ground tremble.

"Sound waves?"

Luo Ya instantly understood the essence of this android's abilities.

At the same time, the blue-haired android pushed forward with both hands, and the white mist suddenly spread out, instantly forming a huge ice wall.

boom!
The sound waves collided with the ice wall, instantly triggering a violent explosion, and white mist spread out.

Then, in the next instant, the fog was blown away by a sudden gust of wind.

The two figures collided again.

However, by this time they had already changed their form!
The gray-haired android turned into a gray tiger, and the blue-haired android turned into a blue lion!

Their claws, wreathed in a domineering aura, were desperately tearing at each other.

Roya turned his head in surprise and looked at Judge.

Judge nodded solemnly, "An artificial Devil Fruit."

Roya whistled.

It's not over yet!

The two androids separated again and instantly entered their orc form.

Immediately afterwards, they patted their waists, and in a dazzling light, a gray and blue combat suit each covered their bodies.

The two collided heavily again in the next instant, iron fist against flying kick.

boom! !

A violent shockwave immediately spread out, and the metal floor creaked.

"this!!"

Teach's subordinate, Lafitte, was covered in cold sweat. "This power!"

They're even stronger than them!!
Roya couldn't help but smile, his eyes crinkling. "Interesting. With the battle suit, it's not much different from Becky's."

In other words, the power is approaching disaster levels!

There are over a hundred of these Calamity Knights here!
