One Piece: Lord of Disaster.

Chapter 303: The Battle Between Father and Son! Despair in Cologne
In the end what happened?
Cologne stared intently at his elderly father.

But you can't see anything.

Apart from his eyes, everything about him—from his demeanor and tone of voice to his gestures and micro-expressions—was exactly the same as his father's.

A chilling sensation suddenly rose from his tailbone all the way up, making the hairs on his back stand on end and his scalp tingle.

Because Cologne knew that although many people in the world called their leader "Boss," only one group was the most famous and well-known.

But how could that be!

How could such a thing be possible?
"Of course, a boss is a boss."

Jabba replied matter-of-factly, "Honestly, Cologne, I don't remember raising such a stupid kid!"

"There's only one person in the world whom I, your old man, can call Boss!"

Jabba's black and white eyes now revealed a sincere reverence and fanaticism, "That is of course the man who controls calamity, the great Lord Roya!"

"..."

Cologne felt as if his heart was about to stop beating. A sense of panic and fear surged up from the deepest part of his heart, forming a giant wave that engulfed him.

"Dad..."

Hot tears streamed uncontrollably down the boy's face, his voice broken and almost incoherent, "Do you know what you're saying?"

"He's talking nonsense again,"

Jaba looked at him with a disappointed expression, "Your old man isn't old enough to have dementia yet. Honestly, after going out for a while, you seem to have become less respectful to your old man!"

"Dad! What's wrong with you?!"

Cologne erupted instantly, his voice shrill and almost screaming. He stepped forward, grabbed his elderly father's shoulders, and shook him violently.

"Wake up! That's Roya! One of the greatest threats in the world that you've told me about since I was a child! Someone who could very well be our final enemy! What are you talking about?!"

"Wow, this kid's really gotten too big for his britches now. He talks like he doesn't respect his old man at all, Anna,"

Jabba, however, just kept complaining to his wife beside him, "Are we too lenient with him? Or is he just going through a rebellious phase?"

"..."

The dignified woman of the three-person family was speechless; her shoulders trembled and tears streamed down her face.

"Hey! Cologne! Look at this!"

Jaba broke free from his son's grasp, walked tenderly to his wife, hugged her tightly, and gently patted her back. "Your mother has been made to cry by you, hurry up and apologize!"

"Apologize to your mother, apologize to your father, and most importantly, apologize to the boss!"

"Although you are my favorite silly son, it is absolutely forbidden to speak ill of the Boss."

"..."

Cologne staggered back a few steps, her face pale.

In that instant, he felt his hands and feet were ice-cold and his body went limp.

"Mom..."

The boy looked at his mother with near terror. "What's going on? What's wrong with Dad?"

"...Don't blame him, Cologne,"

The mermaid Anna leaned against her husband's chest, her face contorted with pain. "Don't blame your father. He was just... being manipulated..."

On the day disaster struck the island, Jabba returned and she sensed something was wrong.

The husband was still the same husband, but something deep inside him was completely different.

Until Queen Otohime arrived and told her everything.

That day, the woman was on the verge of collapse.

"Manipulation?"

Cologne paused, then abruptly looked at Jabba, "Dad..."

Was he being manipulated by Roya?

"Really, don't listen to Princess Otohime and the others. I've already said I'm still here, Anna,"

Jabba hugged his wife tightly with a touch of tenderness, "You're still your handsome and dashing husband!"

Anna closed her eyes in despair.

This shameless behavior is exactly like when I first met this guy.

She really was starting to lose her sense of direction.

"So, it was all that bastard Roya's doing, right?!"

Cologne finally understood completely.

His father was controlled by that monster, and his mother was heartbroken because of it!
Now I finally understand completely!

It's all that bastard Roya's fault!

"I won't let him get away with this! I absolutely won't let him get away with this!!"

The boy gritted his teeth.

"Hey! Cologne! How many times do I have to tell you, Dad?!"

Jabba's eyes darkened slightly. "You're not allowed to speak ill of the Boss again! Otherwise, I'll really get angry!"

"Dad—"

Cologne gritted his teeth, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar old father in front of him.

"You idiot! How could someone turn you into this?! You keep calling me 'Boss,' like a complete fool!"

"However, as long as you kill that guy Roya, you can go back to normal and become your original dad again, right!"

Regardless of what kind of ability Roya used, common sense dictates that as long as the ability user is eliminated, their ability will be removed, right?
"Cologne!!"

Anna's expression changed drastically. "No!!"

"Cologne!"

Jabba's expression finally turned serious, like an old father seeing his wayward son. "It seems I have no choice but to teach you a lesson. If I let you continue to offend the Boss like this, I'll truly deserve to die!"

"No! No, Jabba!"

Anna grabbed her husband's collar with both hands and pleaded urgently, "Colon is our child! Please don't hurt him!"

"It's precisely because he's our most beloved child that we can't let him go astray, Anna!"

Jabba first kissed his wife's forehead, then said earnestly, "She already dares to talk so arrogantly to the Boss. If we don't discipline her, won't she really dare to attack the Boss in the future?"

"..."

Anna's body trembled.

Although he looks exactly the same as before, she knows better than anyone that her husband is no longer the same man he used to be.

During this period, numerous protests against the rule of the Catastrophe Corporation broke out on Fishman Island.

After all, everyone now knows that the huge disaster was brought about by Roya.

He also ordered the sea kings to blockade the entire Fishman Island and to conscript a large number of able-bodied merfolk as soldiers.

There are just too many dissatisfied people.

Then, after his earnest attempts to persuade him failed, Jabba revealed his cruel side.

According to him, he had tried to persuade them with kind words, but they remained obstinate and were no longer ordinary rebels, so he had to take strong measures.

He slaughtered hundreds of protesters in one fell swoop, turning almost the entire Fishman Island into a bloodbath.

Anna knew that, in ordinary times, her husband was still the same unreliable yet gentle man he always was.

However, things are completely different when it comes to Roya's interests.

Anna opened her arms and hugged Jabba tightly, then turned around and looked at her somewhat stunned son, crying out loudly.
"Run! Cologne! Get off Fishman Island! Run!"

"Mom..."

Cologne's eyes widened.

run?
How could he possibly run under such circumstances?
If Dad doesn't say anything, how could we possibly leave Mom here any longer!

"Anna..."

Jabba sighed, "I'm just teaching this kid a lesson so he won't spout nonsense again. Don't spoil him too much."

"Moreover, Boss said that no one is allowed to leave this island. If Cologne really wants to run away, then I will really have to take action against him."

Anna's body began to tremble again.

She knew that Jabba meant it when he said he would take action.

A truly decisive, ruthless, and merciless attack with the primary objective of killing Cologne.

She dared not speak again, but—

"You bastard dad!" Young Cologne lunged at him angrily. "How dare you make Mom cry! And you call yourself a preacher of love?!"

No matter what, at least take Mom with you!

"I'll beat you to a pulp!!"

The powerful punch, imbued with domineering energy, slammed towards Jabba's face without hesitation.

but.

"You little brat, you actually dared to lay a hand on your old man!"

Jabba, with a keen interest, took a step back, easily avoiding Cologne's attack.
"Very good, then let your old man see how much you've improved during your time at sea!"

"If you don't satisfy me, the punishment will be even more severe!"

With a light leap, he darted straight out the door. "Don't mess up the house, or your mother will be angry again, and my life will be difficult again. Kid, come outside."

Missing his first attack, Cologne gritted his teeth, grabbed the two axes slung across his back, and charged out.

"Idiot dad! Leave Mom to me! I'm taking her away!"

If even his father is controlled by Roya, then the entire Fishman Island has probably already fallen.

Add to that the sea kings roaming the nearby deep sea, and this island is now far too dangerous!

"leave?"

Jabba's smile faded slightly. "Colon, if you say things like that again, Dad will really get angry."

"No one is allowed to disobey the Boss's orders."

"Who cares about you, Axe Tianle!"

The double axes, imbued with a powerful and domineering aura, swung directly at Jabba.

At this point, Cologne couldn't care less about anything else; all he was thinking about was taking his mother away.

Show mercy?

He knew very well just how powerful his bastard father was!

If you want to take your mother back from him, you have to be prepared to kill him!
"Oh! Not bad!"

Watching his eldest son swing two axes with all his might, Jabba nodded approvingly, showing considerable interest.
"It's much better than when I left Fishman Island."

He nimbly stepped back, still holding his wife, and dodged Cologne's two axes once again.

"hateful!"

Cologne gritted his teeth and pursued again, wielding his two battle axes like a storm.

While attacking Jabba, he also had to be careful to avoid his mother.

but.

"Don't worry too much, kid, just go all out."

Jabba was like a gust of wind, untouchable and intangible. No matter how hard Cologne chopped, the axe couldn't touch him at all.
"Your dad isn't so old that he can't even protect your mom in your hands."

Don't talk to me like that!

Cologne was furious, enraged, and furious.

He's been turned into a lackey by Luo Ya, yet he still acts like a kind old father!

Cologne felt as if his anger was about to rip the top of his head off!

His double axes became even more frenzied, and the mere aftershocks cleaved the surrounding coral jungle into huge cracks.

However, the more furious Jabba became, the easier it was for him to dodge. With just a single turn, he circled behind Cologne and then kicked the big guy in the butt, sending Cologne sprawling face-first into the dirt.

“Calm down, Cologne,”

Jabba laughed and said, "The more emotional you are, the less effective your Observation Haki will be."

"asshole!!"

Cologne sprang to his feet, his face flushed with rage, and brought his double axes down heavily once more.

"Full of flaws."

Jabba shook his head helplessly, then kicked Colon in the chest with a powerful kick that went straight through the gap between the two axes.

"Forehead!"

The boy groaned, feeling as if the air in his lungs had been kicked out. He flew out in pain, his body contorted like a shrimp, and rolled on the ground for a while.

"Stop hitting him! Jabba! Stop hitting him!"

Anna, tears welling in her eyes, hugged her husband tightly, crying, "Please don't hurt our child anymore!"

"Good good,"

Jaba's heart melted at his wife's tears. He gently patted her back to comfort her while looking up at his eldest son, who was lying on the ground clutching his chest.

"Colon, I'll spare you the trouble for your mother's sake, but remember, you must always show the Boss the utmost respect!"

"I bother!"

Cologne forced himself to stand up despite the pain in his chest. "I will never let that guy get away with this. Sooner or later, I'll kill him!"

Jabba's face suddenly darkened.

next moment.

"Forehead!"

Cologne only felt a black shadow flash before his eyes, and a large hand, hard as if cast from steel, directly grabbed his neck and lifted him up.

His neck felt like it was about to be snapped, and his throat and trachea were completely compressed and blocked. Cologne couldn't even let out a scream.

How could it be so fast?

Damn dad, how could this be? He seems even stronger than before!

"Cologne!"

Jabba's eyes were filled with heartache and despair. "How could you have turned out like this, child!"

"Even I, your father, can't tolerate you indefinitely. If you continue to be so stubborn—"

Jabba's shoulders trembled, and his eyes were filled with pain. "Dad, I really can only—"

"No! Jabba!"

Anna lunged forward, grabbed Jabba's hand that was holding up Kolomb, and shook it frantically.

However, her strength was too weak to budge Jabba in the slightest.

All the woman could do was cry out in despair, "Let him go, Jabba, Korlon is our child!"

"It's precisely because he's our child that we can't just stand by and watch him go astray, Anna!"

Jabba turned his head away in unbearable pain, even closing his eyes with a pained expression.

It was as if the old father had truly committed an unforgivable crime, and he chose to put the greater good before his own son.

"Jabbar!!"

Seeing her son's face gradually turn pale from lack of oxygen, Anna finally broke down and screamed, "If you don't release Cologne, I'll die right in front of you!"

Jabba's body trembled suddenly. When he turned to look at his wife, his face was equally panicked, and his voice was trembling.
"Anna, don't push me like this! I didn't want to either!"

“But Cologne did something wrong, and Boss will not allow him to be violated in any way! As his father, how can I turn a blind eye!”

Jabba was in immense pain, but he said with unwavering determination, "If Cologne cannot abandon his desire to be enemies with the Boss, I will never forgive him."

"..."

Anna looked at her son with anguish.

She saw it; her son's eyes were filled with the same intense pain.

Roya!

Roya!!
What kind of monster are you?!
"Cologne!!"

She cried out in anguish, "Obey your father... I beg you, Mother!"

Cologne's body suddenly jolted.

His mother's extremely distressed appearance exploded in his heart like a bomb.

Can't die!
My bastard dad has become like this, and my mom is all alone now.

I absolutely cannot die like this.

Roya!!!
then.

The boy nodded with difficulty.
