One Piece: Lord of Disaster.

Chapter 296 The Fruit's Ownership! Im's Wrath! The Anxious People
When Roya slowly flew back to the top deck of the City of Calamity, Barrett was engaged in a fierce battle with Kaido.

The two top-tier monsters clashed repeatedly in the sky, their iron rods and fists striking each other relentlessly.

Although they didn't go all out, they were definitely serious. Thick, powerful lightning bolts swept across the sky, causing it to tremble continuously.

There was nothing else to do but float in the sky.

Real monsters cannot be attacked casually. Not to mention it's a waste of talent, what if that guy Im really doesn't know any martial ethics and bullies the weak? Wouldn't that be the end of us?

Therefore, it's normal for everyone to feel bored as they can only remain still at this time.

"Wow, this is really lively."

Luo Ya landed lightly next to the group of people watching the commotion on the top deck. "You guys have so much energy every day."

"Where have you run off to again, you little rascal?"

Katakuri, who was watching the fierce battle in the sky with great interest, subconsciously turned his head.

"Oh, this one."

Roya waved the documents in his hand and the small box containing the fruit. "I went to get something."

"Ok?"

Katakuri instinctively scanned the area with his Observation Haki, then raised an eyebrow, "A Devil Fruit?"

"Honestly, Katakuri, don't you know what privacy is?"

Roya said with a complaining look, "This fruit is a top secret."

"confidential?"

His good friend's eyes lit up immediately. "Now that you mention it, I'm even more interested. There aren't many Devil Fruits in this world that are worth taking this seriously, are there?"

"Boss!"

Loki, as if struck by a sudden realization, leaned closer excitedly. "Could it be that you've found the Gum-Gum Fruit?"

"That's not it."

Roya shook his head. "We haven't even figured out where that Straw Hat guy is, and you're still talking about the Gum-Gum Fruit?"

Red, no, the Straw Hat Pirates have probably gone to hide in the West Blue or the North Blue, but we don't know for sure whether it's the West Blue or the North Blue yet.

With only one ship, it would be all too easy for them to hide their whereabouts in this vast world.

Even though Roya had many eyes and ears in those two sea areas, he couldn't find their whereabouts for a while.

After all, more resources need to be used in the war against the World Government.

Or, how about we go to Amazon Lily later?

There's absolutely no reason why Shanks wouldn't know Robin's true identity.

With Roger's beloved daughter as a threat, how could Shanks possibly refuse?

Hmm, good idea.

Unlike Ace, Robin was unknown to the remnants of Roger's pirate crew.

Besides, Amazon Lily, hehe, who doesn't love a matriarchal society?

They're going to rule half the world, what's wrong with enjoying themselves?
"Is that so?"

Loki immediately deflated, turning his gaze away without hesitation and looking back at the two people fighting in the sky.

"Oh? So you've already decided on the Gum-Gum Fruit?"

"This fruit is quite remarkable," Roya said with great interest.

"not interested!"

Loki declared resolutely, "I'm going to be the Sun God! Either the Gum-Gum Fruit or that legendary Elbaf Fruit that was stolen from me, I have no interest in anything else!"

The fruit that has been passed down through generations in Elbaf is now in Im's hands. It's unknown whether he has given it to anyone, but it's probably gone forever.

Therefore, the only option is the Gum-Gum Fruit.

"What if someone eats the rubber fruit?"

Roya asked with a smile.

"Then I'll kill that guy and wait for the fruit to regenerate!"

Loki did not hesitate at all.

"That's it."

Luo Ya nodded slowly.

He was actually quite looking forward to it. Could Loki really eat the Gum-Gum Fruit?

It's important to know that throughout history, that fruit has escaped from the World Government's grasp several times, almost as if it were destined to happen.

It seems that only those destined to eat it can consume it.

Is Loki capable of replacing Luffy, whose very existence is uncertain, as the chosen one?
That's quite interesting.

"So, Roya, what exactly is this fruit?"

Katakuri remained curious.

"There's really nothing I can do about you."

Roya opened the box and took the pink Devil Fruit out of it.

"Ok?"

Katakuri frowned. "A Devil Fruit I've never seen before?"

"Hahaha! It's not even listed in the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia!"

Teach had also come closer, carefully examining the Devil Fruit. Then he frowned slightly, "But why does it look so familiar? No, something's wrong with this fruit!"

"Ok?"

Charlotte Linlin, who was watching the battle with great interest, heard the discussion and instinctively looked over.

She was completely stunned when she saw it.

Charlotte Linlin blinked subconsciously, wondering if she had seen wrong. She even rubbed her eyes unconsciously.

"Hey, Roya! What's with that Devil Fruit in your hand? I'm not seeing things, am I? Isn't that the Devil Fruit Kaido ate?"

How could she possibly admit her mistake!
Back in God Valley, she personally seized that fruit and then gave it to Kaido.

"what?"

Everyone was suddenly stunned.

"Yup!"

Teach also seemed to suddenly realize something, "It's the Azure Dragon Fruit! It's just a different color!"

"Is there such a thing?"

Katakuri's eyes widened. "There's a second Azure Dragon—no, Pink Dragon Fruit in the world?"

“It’s a replica, isn’t it, Roya?”

Golden Lion also floated over. As expected of a seasoned veteran, he made the correct judgment immediately: "If ordinary Zoan-type and Ancient Zoan-type can be copied, why can't Mythical Zoan-type be copied?"

"Yes, it still has to be Uncle Shiki,"

Luo Ya nodded with a smile, "That's exactly right."

"No way?"

Katakuri felt his mouth go dry at this moment. "Roya, your men can even copy Mythical Zoan species?"

"Boss, I've never heard of such a thing!"

Teach was equally shocked.

No one understands the power of Mythical Zoan beings better than him, who is a Mythical Zoan user.

This power is on a completely different level from ordinary Zoan-type or even Ancient Zoan-type powers!

Now, even this capability can be mass-produced?
"A copy of Lao Tzu's abilities?"

In the sky, Kaido, who was originally engaged in a passionate fight with Bullet, couldn't sit still any longer. He descended from the sky with a furious expression, "Roya, you brat, when did you copy my ability? Was this what Dylan and the others wanted to take my blood for back then?"

The thought that anyone who eats this fruit will gain the same abilities as him is disgusting!
"We don't have that technology yet,"

Roya laughed and said, "Brother Kaido, have you forgotten? What happened back then when you were captured and taken to the Navy's research institute?"

"Forehead!"

Kaido's expression suddenly froze.

How could I possibly forget!

It could even be said that it was a humiliation he would never forget for the rest of his life!

Because the skin was too tough to draw blood from, the scientists at that research institute used a very special method.

"So, this fruit was created by scientists under the World Government? Vegapunk?"

Katakuri asked in surprise, "Then how did you get your hands on it?"

"This can only be attributed to connections."

Luo Ya said calmly.

"So, who should receive this fruit?"

"Golden Lion said with great interest."

If Kaido's daughter hadn't eaten a Devil Fruit, then she would certainly be the most suitable candidate.

Unfortunately, she is already an ability user and also a Mythical Zoan.

This would be a bit awkward. What would Kaido think if anyone other than Yamato ate this fruit?
"Not in a hurry,"

Roya casually remarked, "We need to get Judge to confirm whether the fruit was truly successful."

To be honest, he was also a little unsure.

Without access to the ancient technological data stored in Ohara, could Vegapunk perfectly replicate the Azure Dragon Fruit as depicted in the original work?
"If it succeeds,"

Roya smiled and looked at someone in the crowd, "Bonnie, I'll leave this fruit to you."

"Eh? Me?"

Bonnie, who was watching the commotion, suddenly froze.

Katakuri's eyes lit up immediately. "Isn't this great?"

I've been struggling to find a suitable Devil Fruit for Bonney! If this fruit truly replicates Kaido's abilities, then it would be perfect for Bonney!
Ultimately, Bonney's fighting style is almost identical to Kaido's.

They all rely on overwhelming physical strength and powerful martial arts skills to fight!
"Mother,"

Katakuri glanced back at his mother, whom he loathed, and said, "You think so too, right?"

"Don't ask me!"

Aunt Lingling still harbors resentment towards Katakuri.

"Hey! What's my opinion?!"

Kaido roared in displeasure, "I disagree! This Devil Fruit better be destroyed right now!"

"Don't be so harsh, Brother Kaido,"

Luo Ya said with a grin, "And have you forgotten? You still owe Aunt Lingling a favor. She gave you the Azure Dragon Fruit back then. Now, by giving Bonnie this fruit that was copied from you, you've repaid that favor, haven't you?"

It's mainly because it's very interesting.

This Pink Dragon Fruit is a replica based on Kaido's bloodline factors.

Please note that it's not just the Azure Dragon Fruit, but Kaido's bloodline factor!
So strictly speaking, after eating this fruit, Bonney will also have some of Kaido's bloodline factors in her body.

Hehe, in a sense, the CP I shipped back then has come true!
Family members, who doesn't understand? Senior Ling and Junior Kai are just too adorable!
"Lingling herself said it wasn't enough, and now you're joining in too? How many more favors do I have to repay before I'm done with this?!"

Kaido did not understand Roya's good intentions.

Seeing Kaido's furious expression, Roja's smile widened. "Alright, alright, as compensation, Brother Kaido, would you like to become stronger?"

"Ok?"

Kaido, who was somewhat agitated, suddenly narrowed his eyes. "What do you mean by that, kid?"

At his level, it's almost impossible to go any further.

His Devil Fruit abilities, physique, Haki, and skills have all been honed to perfection.

That's why he couldn't understand how Roya seemed to have no limits and could keep evolving!

Not only Kaido, but everyone else couldn't help but look at Roya at this moment.

Aren't you curious?

Roya laughed and said, "Although Barrett was also born with a strong physique, he was actually just an enhanced version of an ordinary person. But now, he not only has an indestructible body like Kaido and others, but he also has a recovery ability that far surpasses that of ordinary people!"

"Are you senile? Didn't I already ask you this question?"

Katakuri retorted irritably, "But you bastard say this is because of Barrett's more than twenty years of experience!"

"Ok?"

Roya frowned immediately. "Is that so? You must be mistaken, Katakuri."

"Stop pretending to be stupid!"

"Alright, since you're not going to keep me in suspense any longer, Roya, tell me, what exactly happened?" Golden Lion couldn't help but look on with anticipation.

If he can go even further!
"Well, what's actually settled isn't Barrett, it's Judge."

Yes, there's plenty of time ahead.

This can help everyone take it a step further.

Although the implantation of bloodline factors may not lead to a qualitative leap for everyone, even the slightest progress is invaluable for top-tier experts.

same moment.

Inside the large ship beneath the Sun Tree Eve.

The four elders knelt respectfully on the ground, their faces all extremely grim.

"Lord Im! The news is true!"

Vochuli's face even showed a hint of fear. "The Sea Kings are indeed fighting alongside the pirates! And their numbers are not small; this cannot be accomplished through normal means! I'm afraid—"

His voice deepened, and the muscles in his face trembled. "It really is Aquaman!"

"..."

On the high throne, Im's fingers, hidden beneath his black robe, lightly tapped the armrests of the throne, but the tapping sounded somewhat hurried, clearly indicating that the King of the World was not at peace.

Since the esteemed elder did not speak, the five elders dared not even breathe loudly.

Ancient weapons!
That guy Roya got Aquaman!

It wasn't just Aquaman; he had already obtained Pluto's blueprints more than twenty years ago! His airship was very likely built based on Pluto's blueprints!

Roya, who was already as strong as a monster, also possessed two ancient weapons!
The five elders felt a chill run down their spines.

If it weren't for Lord Im, they probably would have surrendered immediately.

"I urge Vegapunk to see this ship fully revived as soon as possible!"

Im finally spoke, "Then, Gellinger, the search for that boy from the Figarand family can't stop either. Im needs to know what Joy Boy left behind on that island."

"Roya, what has he found out this time?!"

"Yes, Lord Im!"

The newly appointed God of Scientific Defense, Figaland Gellinger, respectfully kowtowed.

"at last,"

Im continued, "Have the Knights of God leave teleportation arrays in the territory of each member state in those two seas, and have Shamrock personally take action. If necessary, you can also attack. If Roya wants to fight, then fight with him. Eight hundred years ago, the Sea King was of little use, and it will be the same in this era!"

"Yes!"

They have already taken immediate action.

At this time, the world has once again fallen into violent turmoil.

The World Economic News provided a detailed account of the pirate alliance's entire advance.

The mere fact that pirates have actually begun a large-scale attack on the North Blue and West Blue, and that they really want to seize these two seas, is enough to shock the world.

Their unstoppable momentum left people speechless.

In particular, a large number of sea monsters and sea kings are helping the pirates!
People around the world, still unaware of what this event signifies, remain terrified.

In just a few days, double-digit numbers of countries were conquered, including several member states.

Any resistance was met with the most severe retaliation, and several countries were directly bombed into ruins.

In the West Sea and the North Sea, the two battlefronts in both sea areas have been rapidly advancing from the doldrums into the deeper parts of the sea.

World Government! World Government, please save us!

The world trembled.

The residents of Beihai and Xihai, in particular, were terrified.

And at the same moment.

The entrance to the Great Sea Route, the Twin Gorges.

A banquet is being held here.

However, the atmosphere at the banquet was not very lively.

"Even you were forced to run back to the first half? Shanks."

Crocus, the former doctor of the Roger Pirates and the tower guard of Twin Capes, sighed with emotion.

"no way,"

Wearing a straw hat, Shanks, who was hurrying back to the Grand Line from the West Blue via Reverse Mountain, said with a solemn expression, "The power that Roa has gathered is not something we can fight against."

"And now,"

He gritted his teeth slightly, "He's even gained the power of Aquaman!"

"Aquaman... of all times, he appeared in this era!"

Crocus's expression also turned grave. "Something seems to have happened to Jabba."

“I know, Mr. Crocus,”

Shanks nodded slightly. "Next, we'll head to Fishman Island immediately to see what's going on."

"And Cologne!"

Crocus said in a deep voice, "You know him, right? I was shocked when I heard that Jabba had a child. The child recently finished his voyage in the South China Sea and passed through here with his companions!"

Has he already returned to the Grand Line?

Shanks' expression hardened slightly again. "Mr. Crocus, which route is he taking? We must intercept him! What if he rashly returns to Fish-Man Island—"

"He took the same route we took back then, from Alabasta through Sky Island. He said he wanted to see the scenery we saw back then."

"Okay! I'll go after him right away, and then contact Mr. Rayleigh. If I can't catch up with him, then we can only hope that he can stop the child in the Sabaody Archipelago!"

Shortly thereafter, the Sabaody Archipelago.

Xia Qi's rip-off bar.

"Alright, I'll keep an eye on that kid while I wait for you to arrive, Shanks. Don't worry, I won't act rashly. Let's leave it at that for now."

Rayleigh, the right-hand man of One Piece, hung up the phone and fell silent.

Behind the bar, Xia Qi, the bar's owner, gently exhaled a smoke ring. "Perhaps the situation isn't as bad as it seems, Lao Lei."

Rayleigh shook his head, and the legend of the sea sighed slowly, "If Princess Shirahoshi were truly the Sea King, Jabba would never have handed her over to Roa so easily."

The tavern fell silent immediately.

Xia Qi just quietly smoked her cigarette.

Nine Snake Island.

In the palace.

Empress Robin clutched a newspaper in her pale hand, gazing at the photos of the Sea Kings tumbling on the surface of the sea. She gritted her teeth slightly.

"Aquaman has fallen into Roja's hands, and so has Hades!"

"Now, this is really bad!"

The war that nearly destroyed the world eight hundred years ago is about to break out again, and she doesn't even have the power to participate in that war.

So, shall we eat that fruit?
In a certain sea area in the first half of the Grand Line.

The half-fish boy's hands trembled as he held the newspaper. "Uncle Jinbe? How did he end up under Roja's command! And who are these Sea Kings—"

"Oh no, something's happened on Fishman Island! How are Mom and Dad?! Damn it! Speed ​​up, I have to get back to Fishman Island as quickly as possible!"
