One Piece: Lord of Disaster.

Chapter 277 Fishman Island! Moria and the Knight of God
An island in the New World.

Tiger held a Den Den Mushi in his hands, his voice tinged with a long-lost unease, "Lord Roya, it's been a long time since I've paid my respects. I'm so glad you're safe and sound."

A soft laugh came from the other end of the phone, then gradually became more cheerful, "Haha, Tiger, you've gotten quite the smooth talker, haven't you? Has time finally worn down your edges?"

Tiger silently twitched the corner of his mouth.

Circumstances dictate that, in the face of a monster like you, there are very few people in the world who can stand up straight and speak with dignity.

You have turned half the world upside down, and the new world has once again fallen into your hands. The North Sea and the West Sea are also in chaos.

Fishman Island simply cannot withstand your wrath.

Thankfully, they made contact; otherwise, I can't even imagine what kind of disaster Fishman Island would have suffered after the war ended.

However, the person who delivered the Den Den Mushi must have been from the World Economic Society, right? That troublemaker Morgans, does he actually have some connection with that Lord Roya?

"So Tiger, you still haven't answered my question."

The boy's voice on the other end of the Den Den Mushi still carried a warm laugh, "Is your Fishman Island going to give me an answer?"

"Really, I've heard about it. Although it was forced by circumstances, Deepsea Logistics has been cooperating very well with the World Government over the past twenty years."

“My loyal subordinate, Umit, went bankrupt because of your competition.”

Twenty years ago, when the Disaster Company moved far from the sea, not everyone left.

At least two of Roya's most trusted subordinates, shipping magnate Umit and loan shark Dufeld, did not leave with him.

The reason is that if they leave the sea, they will have absolutely no value.

All their businesses are located on this sea.

If they lose those assets, won't they be unable to contribute to the Boss when he returns?
So, trembling with fear, they chose to remain on the high seas, and unsurprisingly, not long afterward, the World Government's retaliation came.

Their relationship with the Disaster Company is self-evident; anyone with even a little bit of inside information on the high seas knows it perfectly well.

Even though Kaido and the others took special care of them because of Roya, the World Government only used a little bit of business tactics to bankrupt Feld and Umit's company.

Both men were devastated and retired from public life, dying in despair a few years ago.

The reason why Umit's logistics company went bankrupt so early was largely due to competition from the deep-sea logistics company on Fishman Island.

After all, the transportation efficiency of the two sides is not even in the same league.

"We are also very sorry about what happened to President Umit,"

Tiger quickly apologized, "But we were powerless at the time. If we refused the World Government's request, the entire Fish-Man Island would face a huge disaster."

"So it was an apology, but Tiger, just words don't seem very sincere."

"..."

Tiger's body suddenly stiffened.

People always say that the world is not black and white, but many times you have to choose between two options, don't you?

Tiger took a deep breath.

Roya is right. After his return, Fishman Island will have to make a choice.

"By the way, there's one more thing,"

The voice on the other end of the phone sounded somewhat interested, "Tell me about it, Tiger, what has happened on Fishman Island over the years. I heard that Neptune has become the king of the Dragon Palace Kingdom?"

Did the subject change so quickly?
But since Roya wanted to know, Tiger naturally had no way to refuse.

Then he began to tell the story of Fishman Island over the past twenty years.

On the other end of the Den Den Mushi, Roya listened quite attentively.

Fishman Island in this timeline was not protected by the Whitebeard Pirates.

Because Deepsea Logistics Company had been cooperating with the World Government for a long time, Jinbe had become a member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea more than 20 years ago.

It should be said that the World Government actually takes good care of Fishman Island, since the fishman islanders have gained value and are no longer just slaves.

Of course, the Fishman Island doesn't know whether there are still fishmen and mermaid slaves in Mary Geoise. They only know that a lot of mermaids and fishmen still go missing every year.

In short, this is how Fishman Island has lived for more than twenty years.

Then there's Neptune's family situation, which Roya is most concerned about.

Queen Otohime is still alive; she even accompanied Neptune to the World Conference.

Of course, that's not important. What's important is that their daughter, Princess Shirahoshi, is already twelve years old.

Upon hearing this, Luo Ya immediately curled the corners of his mouth.

It seems that after this battle with the World Government ends, I'll have to go to Fishman Island.

Shortly after that, in the Western Sea.

Above a certain point in the sky, a large steel ship swept across the heavens.

Below, the sea was surging and turbulent, with pieces of ship debris floating on the waves.

The naval ensign, soaked by seawater, was helplessly sinking into the deep sea.

One by one, the surviving naval soldiers screamed and wailed, but they could only helplessly be swallowed up by the surging sea.

A massacre has just taken place here.

"Hahaha! That was exhilarating!"

On the side of the massive steel ship in the sky, Becky laughed heartily as he observed the sea below through binoculars.

"Thinking they can escape our pursuit by temporarily abandoning the base? What a bunch of idiots! They're seriously underestimating Dad's intelligence network!"

Behind him, Moria nodded silently.

It has to be said that Becky's father has indeed been very successful in the West Sea over the past few decades.

In this vast sea area, he built a huge network of interests.

Other aspects are not yet apparent, but in terms of intelligence, it is indeed quite astonishing.

Even those sailors who abandoned their bases and fled to the sea could not escape that net.

"Let's go, to the next country."

Moria spoke calmly.

"More than half of the energy has already been used,"

Becky turned around and said, "Let's activate the Celestial Mode for now. We should always keep some in reserve for unforeseen circumstances."

The ship's speed was astonishing; it could travel between the Western Sea and the New World in very little time.

However, high speed is based on high energy consumption.

Relying solely on its own energy reserves, this ship's maximum combat radius is approximately two thousand kilometers, meaning it can sail to a location more than two thousand kilometers away to conduct combat operations and then return.

Quite an amazing distance.

However, it is too short in the face of the vast and boundless Western Sea.

and so.

The ship switched modes at this moment. The clouds surrounding the large ship became even denser, the turbojet at the stern was shut down, and a strong wind began to blow, propelling the entire ship slowly forward.

The scholars who were incorporated into Visalia replicated the technology used to create small floating islands onto these large ships.

This is the celestial pattern.

Once in this state, the ship can not only change the weather within a certain range, but more importantly, it can float slowly forward in the sky with almost no energy consumption.

And so, the ship, which had already brought endless fear to this sea area, slowly headed towards another country in the next sea area.

Although the speed was much slower than normal, it was still faster than a ship sailing on the sea. Before long, the ship had approached the target member state.

However, this was precisely the time when they were preparing to lower the altitude to deploy the assassins.

Boom boom boom!
A rumbling sound gradually rose from below.

Huge cannonballs shot into the sky, carrying the force of wind and thunder, and blasted directly towards the steel ship.

"What?" Becky's expression suddenly changed as she looked down from the deck.

"We've been discovered! And with this kind of firepower!!"

They were still 10,000 meters in the air, but these shells were already close enough to reach them!
This is absolutely not the level of weaponry that the West Sea should have!

"They are reinforcements from the World Government!"

Moria, standing beside him, made a decision in an instant.

At the same time, the shadow beneath his feet rose from the ground, transforming into the outline of his body, and then he leaped off the deck.

"Shadow Bat!"

The muscular figure instantly transformed into countless black bats, flapping their wings to meet the incoming shells.

Boom boom boom boom!
A series of explosions instantly bloomed into a brilliant, fiery flower in the sky.

The strong airflow even caused the massive steel ship to shake continuously.

"I see it! It's a ship!"

Looking down from the deck, Becky spotted a ship—a massive warship docked in the country's port.

"Ok?"

Becky, holding the binoculars, frowned deeply. "That's... a giant?"

Below, on the deck of that large ship.

One after another, enormous creatures with horns on their heads and wings on their backs, standing sixty or seventy meters tall, were raising enormous cannons and firing continuously at the sky.

"Hahaha! I actually got what I was waiting for!"

On the prow of this enormous ship, which resembled a small island, stood a muscular old man wearing a black cloak and military uniform, smiling broadly as he looked up.
"Come on, the thorns of love await you!"

on the sky.

"It's the Demon Giant army!"

Becky's voice suddenly rose, "The World Government actually sent them all out!"

"what!"

The giant demons and monsters who had accompanied the ship were chatting idly on the deck. Upon hearing Becky's words, they instantly sprang to their feet, their movements surprisingly agile, showing none of the old age they appeared to be.

The elderly men and women from Elbaf were now gritting their teeth in anger.

"Are they the children controlled by the World Government?"

"Let's land quickly! Lord Moria! Lord Becky! Arrest all those children!"

"That's right, let Boss restore them to normal too!"

"no!"

Moria refused without hesitation, saying, "The Demon Giants would never go out alone. Let's test their strength first."

"fight back!"

As a result, the thick dark clouds spread out, and at the same time, the gun pods beneath the large ship opened one by one, revealing rows of cold, thick cannon barrels.

Crack! !
This is a brilliant thunderbolt descending from the sky.

Boom boom boom! !

These were enormous shells, falling like meteorites.

Below, on the big ship.

"Hahahaha! That's an exaggeration! Should I say he truly lives up to that monster, Roja?"

The elderly man in military uniform, named Shepard Somaz, laughed heartily, "They can even build a ship like this!"

"However, don't underestimate my love!"

Thick thorns sprouted from the ship's deck and shot into the air in an instant.

These thick, thorny brambles, covered in a layer of dark, domineering energy, intertwine in mid-air to form enormous thorny tentacles.

These thorny tentacles lashed out like whips, easily shattering all the falling lightning and cannonballs.

"Master!"

Moria and Becky spoke in unison.

This is something that ordinary people could never do.

"The ability to manipulate thorns?"

Moria pondered for a moment, "It's definitely not a high-ranking officer in the Navy!"

Having served as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea for so many years, he had a fairly good understanding of the high-ranking officials at the Marine Headquarters.

"That's the World Government!"

Becky asked suspiciously, "The Knight of God?"

"Who knows!"

Moria raised the corners of his mouth. "Go and see for yourself!"

"Hey, Moria?"

Becky exclaimed in surprise, "Don't do anything rash! If they really are the Knights of God, they'll call for help!"

Although their ship was equipped with powerful combat forces, they still had no chance of winning against the God Knight who could summon people.

"Don't underestimate me, kid."

Moria's smile widened. "With my abilities, who can stop me from escaping!"

"This ship is definitely not an isolated case. The World Government has definitely sent more ships to intercept us. We need to find out what's going on first!"

"Besides, I'm really angry right now!"

As he said this, Moria leaped downwards, shouting, "Create some distance first, and wait for me to come back!"

"You guy!"

Becky gritted his teeth inwardly, but he also saw Moria's shadow left on the deck.

That's right. As long as the shadow remains on the ship, with Moria's abilities, no one can stop him. He'll be back in an instant.

"Rise! I want to see just how high their shells can fly! Also, keep the counterattack going!"

The steel ship began to climb further.

At that moment, the wind whistled past Moria's ears, and his sharp eyes were fixed on the man on the bow of the large ship below.

This outfit doesn't belong to the Navy or the CP (couple) faction. Is it really a God Knight?
"Hahaha! Look who this is!"

On the deck, Somaz looked up with a smile on his face. "Isn't this a traitor to the government?"

"After running back to be that Roya's dog, does he still dare to bark at his former master?"

Thick thorns extended from the deck beneath his feet and swept towards Moria.

"Hehehehehe!!"

Moria raised the corners of his mouth, brandishing his scissors with great force, instantly severing all the thorns coming towards him. "So-called knights of God, aren't they just dogs?"

"You whose lives are in someone's hands, aren't you just like domestic dogs with collars on your heads?!"

"presumptuous!!"

Somaz's face instantly turned red. "How dare you offend the gods! You deserve to die!!"

"Hehehe! Let's give it a try!"

Is he really a knight of the gods?

Since that's the case, let's experience firsthand what kind of power the so-called God Knight possesses before he calls for reinforcements!
By the way, let me vent the anger that has been building up in my heart for a while!
