One Piece: Lord of Disaster.

Chapter 273 The Roaring Sea! Destruction Descends! Fear Spreads!
Some island in the New World.

Nestled in the dense forest, a not-too-tall wooden building stands quietly.

Almost no one knows that this is the headquarters of the world-renowned World Economic News Agency.

At that moment, on the top floor of the building, a burst of maniacal laughter pierced through the wooden doors and spread out.

The editors outside the door fell silent, simply staring at the doorway.

Although they couldn't hear what was being said inside, they knew that big news was about to break.

Inside the main gate, in the president's office.

Big news! Morgans' smile grew increasingly ecstatic as he held the Den Den Mushi with an expression of pure excitement.

"Hahaha! I understand! Boss! As expected of you, you've only just returned and you're already preparing to shock the world again! I'll spread this news all over the world right away!"

"It's time to make this world tremble once again because of natural disasters!!"

"Then it's up to you."

The other side hung up the phone.

Then, Morgans suddenly took a deep breath, his chest heaving.

"Hahahaha!"

With a maniacal laugh, he kicked open the office door and stormed out.
"Get to work, you men! Hahahaha! It's time to let the world relive the horror of over twenty years ago!!"

"Yes!!"

The numerous editors immediately responded loudly, as if they had been injected with adrenaline.

The editors who were promoted to headquarters by Morgans were undoubtedly ruthless characters like him, willing to do anything for big news.

So, a few hours later, newsbirds began to fly around the world again.

Newspapers were scattered like they were being thrown into the sea for free.

When people curiously picked up the newspaper, what greeted their eyes was the front-page headline printed with a huge signature.

Natural disaster is coming!

At first glance, it might even seem a bit confusing.

They might even mistake it for a weather forecast.

But when people saw the huge photo below the title, almost everyone was stunned, and they understood the meaning of the title in that instant.

Is it such a natural disaster?
That was a group photo.

The handsome young man in the center even gave a peace sign to the camera, his face beaming with a hearty smile.

This boy's name was only recently brought up again.

At this moment, everyone in the world knows that his name is Roya, the most evil man in history who roamed the world more than 20 years ago!

On either side of him stood two figures whose fame was even greater in this era: Kaido and Shiki!
Outside the three were two monsters from the Charlotte family, Charlotte Linlin and Charlotte Katakuri.

At the very edge is Redfield, the number two figure in the Flying Pirates.

Behind Roya in the back row stood a tall, muscular man and a white-haired man with a pair of black wings on his back, whom no one recognized.

And to the sides of these two strangers are the infamous Cerberus Teach and the equally renowned Shichibukai Moria!

At the very back sat a colossal figure, also sporting a radiant smile, sitting cross-legged on the ground—the cursed giant prince Loki!

The whole world was in an uproar in an instant.

"They've actually joined forces! The Flying Pirates, the Charlotte Family's Beasts Pirates, and that Calamity Company led by Roja! They've formed an alliance!!"

"Are you kidding me?! So many monsters have actually teamed up! Golden Lion, Kaido, Katakuri! There are three real Pirate Emperors! Add Ryder, Charlotte Linlin, and Roya to the mix, who in the world can stop them?!"

"That's not all! Teach and Loki have returned to Calamity Corporation too? They're both super monsters with the power to challenge for the Emperor's throne!"

"Why is Moria here too! Isn't he a Shichibukai? Has he betrayed us too?"

A single photograph has already shocked people all over the world.

The text below is even more awe-inspiring.

"The newspapers say they're going to reclaim the New World!"

"They actually said they wanted all forces under the World Government to get out of the New World. Do they really want to declare war on the government?!"

"So what the newspapers said before, that they once seized the entire New World, is true, right?"

"What does the New World mean to these monsters if they unite? The only two remaining Pirate Emperors, Whitebeard and Straw Hat Shanks, are utterly insignificant in their presence!"

"Hey, they also said they're going to advance towards the West Sea and the North Sea next!! What exactly are they planning to do?!"

The whole world was abuzz with excitement.

At the same time, in Mary Geoise.

between powers.

"These scumbags have truly united! Taking back the New World isn't enough; they even want to march towards the West Sea and the North Sea!"

"Damn it, that reckless Moria really betrayed us after all!"

"Teach and Loki have also returned to Calamity Corporation, and Barrett and Abel have also appeared! Their power is probably even more formidable!"

"That bastard Roya has gathered far more power this time than he did more than twenty years ago! What follows is likely to be an incredibly difficult war!"

"But our strength has also grown even greater! As long as Lord Im is here, we will never lose!"

"Find them! They'll definitely use their mobility to outmaneuver us, just like they did back then. We must find them as quickly as possible! Now we can activate the spies we've planted all over the world!"

Also in Mary Geoise.

"Hahaha! Has it started?"

Crocodile flipped through the newspaper with a broad smile, "This lineup is truly outrageous."

"After so many years, does the natural disaster Roya still have such appeal?"

The room next to his

Hawkeye was also flipping through the newspaper, his sharp, hawk-like eyes fixed on the smiling boy in the photo.

"Is he really from the previous era? How can he be so young? But—"

His gaze shifted downwards and settled on Roya, on the knife hanging at his waist.

"The Supreme Grade Swords Twelve Crafts, the Demon Sword Blood Sea—can this sword actually be forged into a black sword? I can't wait to find out!"

New Navy Headquarters.

"They're finally about to make their move! Aside from the soldiers stationed in the member states, get all the other soldiers who haven't yet evacuated from the New World to leave immediately!"

"All troops assemble, ready to depart at any time!"

New World, Sphinx.

Whitebeard closed the newspaper.

Marco, standing in front of him, looked grim. "No wonder that Straw Hat guy chose to leave. The power that Roja and the others have gathered is simply too outrageous."

Even the Navy Headquarters is far from being able to compete with them, right?
The world governments would have to mobilize all their forces to fight them!
"Let's go, let's go too."

Whitebeard looked up at the coastline.

Huge pirate ships are docked here, and the country's residents are lining up to board them with their families.

It's absolutely impossible for them to defeat Roya.

Given Royana's vengeful nature, he would never abandon this country, even if it meant nothing to him.

Therefore, evacuation was the only option.

Whitebeard summoned all his pirate crews, and they were about to take away all the Sphinx people who were willing to leave the country with them.

same moment.

West Sea.

"Luckily we ran fast."

On the Red Fosse, Ben Beckman closed his newspaper and said with a laugh, "Otherwise, we would have been crushed in an instant."

"No! The Western Sea isn't safe either! They say they're expanding into this area too!"

The red-nosed man quickly said, "Let's go to the amusement park! Let's stay away from those lunatics!"

"If Roya and his men win this battle, they won't be safe no matter where they hide in the ocean."

Straw Hat Shanks, who was leisurely sitting on the ship's railing drinking, said with a smile, "If they lose, then there's no need for them to run anymore."

"Let's wait for the wind to come."

On Fishman Island.

In the Sabaody Archipelago.

In the Kingdom of Nine Serpents.

People are waiting quietly.

In Beihai.

A secret base.

Two men, each holding a newspaper, bumped into each other at the door of Dragon's office.

"Luo, you saw the newspaper too?"

"Of course, Sabo, and you too?"

"Yes, we must hurry and tell Mr. Dragon! The North Sea has also become a target for those monsters!"

In the sky of a certain new world.

A large steel ship is rapidly cutting through the air.

The large ship was surrounded by clouds, which provided it with basic buoyancy.

Meanwhile, the turbine propulsion unit at the stern spewed out scorching flames, propelling the large ship forward at high speed.

"That guy Judge!!"

Sain looked around the large ship, his face full of jealousy.

Is it even possible to build a ship like this?
in addition,

He looked up again at the few old Deneb Giants sitting cross-legged and chatting on the deck ahead. How did they manage that? How could they directly turn even these government-controlled monsters against their will?
That wasn't all. There was a group of Mink on the deck, laughing and joking around. Judge provided each of them with a combat suit!

In this respect, they are more like the Beasts Pirates!
But the most crucial thing, of course, is still!
Sain turned around and looked at the two figures standing quietly on the deck of the large ship.

Calamity Knight!

A warrior whose strength is even greater than that of Foz and his group!
It was actually created by that damn Judge!

They are all superhumans!
Damn it, Judge even completed the research on artificial Devil Fruits!

To this day, Sain will never forget the look in Kaido's eyes when he learned of these two pieces of news.

This makes him seem rather dull, someone who has spent over twenty years researching only a bunch of viruses and weapons!

That wretched Judge!!

Indeed, the most naked hatred is only found among those in the same profession.

"arrive."

At that moment, one of the two Calamity Knights turned around and said calmly, "Begin the operation."

"Yes!"

The clone soldiers on deck responded with a roar.

The massive steel ship stopped moving forward and began to slowly descend.

Below, on the sea surface, lies a large naval base.

This is Naval Base G-6.

The original G-6 base was completely destroyed many years ago when the pirate alliance conquered the New World.

This naval base, located in Silver Axe territory, was rebuilt over the past twenty years and redesignated as G-6.

Meanwhile, at the port of this base, marines were rapidly boarding warships.

We can no longer stay at this base, otherwise, pirate attacks could come down from the sky at any moment.

More than 20 years ago, no one wanted to repeat the tragedy that befell those naval bases in the New World.

But it was at this time.

“What is that!!”

On one of the warships, a sailor suddenly screamed, "There's a ship in the sky!!"

Just like birds startled by the mere twang of a bow, the marines who were preparing to retreat all looked up upon hearing this.

"Damn it, was the evacuation too slow?! It's an enemy attack!!"

The vice admiral, who was standing on the shore directing the soldiers' retreat, roared, "Prepare for battle! Prepare for battle!"

The soldiers picked up their weapons, but then suddenly became bewildered.

How exactly could they attack a massive warship flying thousands of meters in the sky?
Unable to retaliate, they were attacked from the sky.

In the sky, cracks suddenly appeared at the bottom of the large metal ship, revealing gun pods that were opening.

Huge cannon muzzles were revealed.

then.

boom!
The first heavy cannon roared.

A shell, like a meteor, crashed down with a sharp whistling sound.

The shells landed directly on the harbor.

boom! !

The enormous fireball engulfed a large portion of the port in an instant, blooming below like a miniature sun.

"Eh!!"

At the side of the space battleship, Sain, who was looking down, suddenly had his eyes pop out.

Such power?
Boom boom boom boom!
Heavy cannons roared, and shells rained down.

Brilliant fireballs burst forth from the naval base below, and within the time it took for two volleys to engulf the entire base in explosions.

"Eh--"

Sin's forehead was sweating.

What exactly is the weaponry he has been researching for over twenty years?
Judge built a total of fifty warships like these, capable of easily suppressing a large naval base!

No, where did that bastard get so much money?

"You bastards!! You deserve to die!!"

A figure was ejected into the air from the flames of the explosion.

A furious vice admiral, sword in hand, soared upwards, leaping through the air, shouting, "How far will you trample justice?!"

One of the two knights of calamity silently jumped onto the gunwale and then leaped off.

Sain watched helplessly as he collided with the vice admiral in the next instant.

"Go to hell! You scum!!"

The vice admiral roared, and his imposing black sword slashed fiercely at the neck of the Calamity Knight.

then.

when.

There was a crisp sound.

"what?"

The vice admiral's expression changed drastically.

The opponent didn't even use Armament Haki; he withstood the sword strike with his bare body, only suffering a slight deformity in his neck!

What exactly is this—

"Wild dog."

The Calamity Knight grabbed the admiral by the neck and shoulder and twisted him forcefully.

Stuck.

The navy officer's neck was twisted into a pretzel in an instant.

"hiss!"

Sain gasped again.

That's ridiculously strong!

He figured he could easily handle one or two, but if there were more, he'd be beaten like a dog.

Is such a powerful device really considered a mass-produced product?
In the early part of the New World, Dressrosa.

This country, which was abandoned by the World Government more than 20 years ago, has become a member of the World Government again in the past two decades.

After all, King John, who ruled this country, became one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

However, at this time, while His Majesty the King, who was protecting the country, was summoned to Mary Geoise, the country was attacked.

A large, black ship appeared in the sky above the country and began to bombard the naval base on one side of the island!
The entire naval base was engulfed in an instant by the explosion, and the whole country was shaken by the incident.

Since these member states of the New World returned to the embrace of the World Government, each of them has built a naval base.

Besides protection, a bigger factor was to make these countries, which had harbored resentment towards the world government during times of turmoil, obediently hand over the Heavenly Gold.

However, that base has now completely vanished.

"What is that?!"

Now just an ordinary gladiator, but a man once known as King Riku stands on the streets of this country, surrounded by panicked people, gazing blankly at the ship in the distant sky.

Did the attack come so quickly?
Fortunately, the target was only the navy and did not affect ordinary civilians.

Not far from this country lies Prodens.

This country is a member state of the government, just like Dressrosa, and is also protected by the Shichibukai John.

At the same time, the country was also attacked, and the naval base stationed there was also instantly destroyed.

"Damn it!!"

In the royal palace, the robust King Elizabeth II, who ruled the country, roared angrily and ordered his vizier Vasco da Gama, "Send out the royal army and quickly maintain order—uh!!"

His anger came to an abrupt halt.

Suddenly, something sharp pierced his chest, and blood splattered everywhere!

"His Majesty!!"

When the kingdom's prime minister Vasco da Gama saw this sudden scene, he immediately screamed.

But his scream only lasted for a moment.

An invisible, sharp blade suddenly grazed his neck, and blood spurted out.

As he fell to the ground in vain, Vasco da Gama saw that there was splattered blood in the air!
There is something unseen!
He watched helplessly as the blood-stained invisible object vanished instantly, followed by a series of screams from all around.

Is this Roya's revenge?

My vision was plunged into darkness.

Newspapers around the world have been publishing new issues at a frenzy over the past two days.

Because the pirate alliance, which has regrouped, has begun to operate again.

When those photos and texts were presented to the world, the whole world was in an uproar.

"They destroyed all the naval branches in the New World in one fell swoop!"

"Not only the branch, but all the naval bases within the territory of the member states were also blown to smithereens!"

"Even the royal families of all the member states were slaughtered! They really wanted to drive all the power of the World Government out of the New World!!"

"Madmen! A bunch of madmen! They're declaring war on the World Government!"

Fear spread.
