One Piece: Lord of Disaster.

Chapter 309 The Movements of the Remnants! Father and Son United!
Shakky's Bar, Sabaody Archipelago.

"Card price".

The Den Den Mushi on the bar counter had closed its eyes, lowered its head, and fallen into a peaceful slumber.

The person on the other end of the phone has already hung up.

At the bar, Rayleigh, holding a bottle of liquor, and Shanks, eating a plate of noodles, both fell silent.

Behind the bar, Xia Qi, the proprietress who was leisurely smoking, also silently stubbed out her cigarette.

Meanwhile, the Straw Hat Pirates, the Kuja Pirates, and the members of the Coron Pirates (whose captain was absent) gathered at the round tables outside the bar, all of whom were stunned.

"What does that mean?"

Bucky swallowed hard, his voice trembling slightly, "Mr. Jabba has been controlled by Roya?"

With a soft click, Rayleigh placed the bottle of liquor on the table, took off his gold-rimmed glasses, and wiped them. "It's no secret anymore, is it? Besides being able to easily cause various natural disasters comparable to natural calamities, Roya also has the ability to manipulate others."

"so,"

The world's most beautiful woman, Hancock, the vice-captain of the Kuja Pirates, frowned slightly. "Is Jabba being controlled by Roja?"

"Unbelievable,"

Shanks swallowed the noodles in his mouth and said with some emotion, "That's Mr. Jabba, after all."

Back then, the three members of Roger's Pirates—Gold, Silver, and Bronze—were all powerful pirates whose names resounded throughout the world.

And now, that guy Roya is even able to control a powerful man like Mr. Jabba?
"Outside, countless sea kings guard the area; inside, Mr. Jabba is in charge,"

Robin bit her thumbnail. Her mother had told her about it many times, but she still unconsciously did it whenever she faced a crucial decision.

"Fishman Island has now undoubtedly become a den of dragons and tigers, but the good news is that Cologne should be safe for the time being."

If the child were truly in a life-or-death situation, he probably wouldn't have had a chance to contact them.

"Although there should be no immediate danger to their lives, they are probably already in a predicament with nowhere to escape."

The Straw Hat Pirates' vice-captain, Ben Beckman, exhaled a smoke ring and said slowly, "But the current situation is that it's extremely difficult for us to even get to Fishman Island, let alone rescue him."

"Cologne did just say that Roya would be heading to Fishman Island soon, right?"

Rayleigh and Robin both fell silent at this moment.

Even if they combined their efforts, they wouldn't be able to break through the Sea Kings' defenses and reach Fishman Island, not to mention that Roya would soon be heading there as well.

Going there now would be certain death.

"But we can't just give up on Cologne like this."

Shanks said seriously, "He is my friend, and I cannot stand by and watch him fall into danger."

"That's true, but tell me what we should do, Shanks!"

Bucky said irritably.

"As for this—"

A resolute look appeared in Shanks' eyes. He raised his hand and pressed the straw hat on his head, the shadow cast by the brim covering half of his face.

Then, he sighed dejectedly, "I haven't decided yet."

I'll beat you up!

Bucky, who had been looking forward to some important remarks from him, was so angry that he turned into a shark-like face.

"Beckman, use your brilliant mind to come up with a solution!"

The man looked at his first mate with anticipation.

"If we can't achieve our goals through force, then we'll have to resort to negotiation, right?"

Beckman said that.

"negotiation?"

Everyone was stunned.

"but,"

Rayleigh took another sip of his drink. "What bargaining chips do we have to negotiate with Roya?"

Silence fell over the tavern once again.

Yes, even if we wanted to negotiate, what could we offer that guy Roya?

"We can talk about negotiations later. The most important thing right now is to leave Sabaody Archipelago, right?"

Shakky, speaking slowly from behind the bar, said, "Roya will go to Fishman Island. If Cologne is also controlled by Roya, our whereabouts will be exposed to him."

Everyone's expression instantly darkened.

It really is.

If Roya really comes knocking on our door, that guy probably won't show any mercy.

We can't stay in the Sabaody Archipelago anymore.

Almost simultaneously, Fishman Island.

After his brief speech, Jabba returned with his eldest son and Tiger.

Cologne breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Now that I've told everyone about the current situation on Fishman Island, I hope no one will want to come here to adventure anymore.

Forget about yourself, whatever you do, don't come.

Fishman Island is already dangerous enough, but it will become even more dangerous in the future.

Cologne didn't even dare to imagine what would happen if Roya himself came down.

Perhaps, I will also be turned into a bastard father by that guy.

But in any case, this is all I can do.

Brother Shanks, Sister Robin, I'm leaving everything to you now!
That's right, Mom...

At that moment, Jabba, who was walking not far ahead of Cologne, suddenly spoke up, "By the way, Cologne, who were you talking to just now?"

Tiger's heart sank as he walked alongside Cologne.

Cologne, preoccupied with his thoughts, froze instantly, then blurted out in a flustered voice, "What, what are you saying, you bastard dad? When did I talk to anyone?"

"Huh? You little brat, aren't you taking your old man too lightly?"

Jabba turned around with a smirk. "My Observation Haki has been focused on you the whole time."

Oops!

Did that bastard dad still find out?

I've never seen you so serious before.

He's surprisingly serious about giving Roy Adam dogs and dealing with his own son!
Cologne's heart pounded like a drum.

How to do?
If it were just me who died, then of course it wouldn't matter.

So what if I die? What's there to be afraid of?

Isn't it a good ending for a man to bravely face death?
But what about Mom?
My dad has become like this. What will happen to my mom if I'm not around anymore?
Cologne felt completely disoriented, his face constantly changing with fear and anxiety.

"Tell me, Cologne,"

Jaba's smile faded slightly, replaced by a hint of seriousness. "Who did you tell about the situation on this island?"

Did you even hear what you said?

That bastard dad's Observation Haki is really something else.

but.

"No, nothing like that,"

Cologne tried to keep his voice calm, "You must have misheard."

"Hey, hey, hey, you stupid son!"

Jabba was so angry that he puffed out his beard and glared at her. "Didn't I tell you, your old man, that you're really bad at acting?!"

Tiger, standing nearby, wholeheartedly agreed.

With Cologne's stammering tone, his eyes darting around, and his constantly changing expression, what kind of lie is he trying to tell?
However, Tiger didn't find the comical Cologne funny at that moment.

His heart was heavy at that moment.

Cologne, danger!

Jabba may look like the same Jabba as before, but that's only an appearance!

Tiger quickly interjected, "He's probably just letting his companions know he's safe. There's no need to take it too seriously, Mr. Shan."

Upon hearing Tiger's words, Cologne felt as if he had been granted a pardon, nodding his head vigorously like a chicken pecking at rice. "That's right! Just tell your companions not to come and take the risk!"

"Oh? Is that so?"

Jabba raised the corners of his mouth, his tone becoming more casual and relaxed.

"Yes, yes, that's exactly right!"

Cologne scratched the back of his head, nodding repeatedly with a somewhat awkward expression.

"Hahaha, you little rascal!"

Jabba laughed heartily.

then.

The next instant, a dark hand grabbed Cologne by the neck and slammed him to the ground.

"Forehead!"

Cologne let out a muffled groan, feeling as if his neck was about to be snapped. "Listen, son,"

Jabba looked down at his eldest son, his tone tinged with pity, "You can lie to me normally. As a father, if I'm lied to by my son on trivial matters, I'll just laugh it off."

"But Cologne, this concerns the island, it concerns the Boss's orders, I will not allow you to lie to me in any way!"

"Now, son, tell me everything that just happened, exactly who you were talking to!"

"..."

Cologne gritted his teeth.

That damn dad, he's always incredibly perceptive at times when he shouldn't be.

"Wait, Mr. Shan!"

Tiger looked anxious and quickly came over to try and comfort him.

But Jabba suddenly turned around at that moment, "And you, Tiger, you were indeed covering for Cologne just now, weren't you!"

Tiger's body stiffened instantly.

Jabba took a deep breath, turned around and looked down at his eldest son, "Kolon, don't make things difficult for your father!"

"I--"

Cologne gritted his teeth, "It really is just about contacting our comrades!"

"You brat!"

Jaba wore a helpless smile, but a dangerous glint flashed in his eyes. "Disobedient brats need to be disciplined by adults!"

A few days later.

Dragon Palace City.

Jabba arrived in a hurry with his wife and son.

His wife Anna silently wiped away her tears, because Kolon, who was being held by Jabati, was wrapped in bandages all over his body and looked bruised and battered.

This half-fish boy still has a tenacious spirit in his eyes.

Before returning to Fishman Island this time, he never imagined that one day he would be severely interrogated by his respected father.

But the truth is that after that day, his useless, controlled old father, while sighing and looking at him with a disappointed expression, severely tortured him.

Even as his mother cried and begged him, this bastard father paid no heed. He only said that he couldn't let Cologne go astray, but he showed no mercy when it came to his actions.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, I'm late!"

Jabba greeted the Neptune family, who were standing outside the gates of the Dragon Palace, with an apologetic look, "The Boss hasn't arrived yet, has he?"

Besides the Neptunes, Tiger, whose face was swollen, also got a good beating.

Neptune glanced at Cologne, who was being held by Jabati, with a complicated expression. "Mr. Shan, I've heard about what happened. There's no need to hurt Cologne to this extent."

"Sigh, we are all parents. If we weren't forced into this situation, who would willingly hurt their child like this?"

Jabba sighed helplessly, "It's just that Cologne is a troublemaker. We've warned him time and time again, but he still wants to cause trouble."

"If it weren't for the fact that the Boss told me not to make things too difficult for him during our previous call, I definitely wouldn't have let this brat off so easily!"

Neptune's eyes were filled with sadness.

What has become of Mr. Shan, who used to dote on his children?

Roya!

It's all because of you...

"Click."

A soft sound suddenly came from the air ahead.

The transparent air was pushed open, creating a huge air door tens of meters high. A man with a hairstyle like bull horns walked out, then respectfully stood aside and knelt down.

Then, the man whom Neptune and the others both knew and feared, Roya, slowly walked out of the air door.

He wasn't alone; Enel and Bege, whom he had met before, were following behind him.

And, a colossal behemoth that requires one to bend over to squeeze through that enormous air door.

The mere sound of his foot hitting the ground produced a dull thud.

An ancient giant with a pair of horns on its head and ferocious eyes looked around in astonishment.
"Oh, so this is Fishman Island? This is my first time coming here in person!"

Looking at that enormous thing, Neptune's heart sank even further.

Loki, the cursed giant prince!

Although he is not as powerful as Abel, the demon descendant who came to this island last time, he is still a high-ranking officer under Roya!

In the years prior, he had already become a renowned pirate whose fame had spread throughout the world.

"Boss!"

Jaba, carrying his large son, went up to greet him respectfully, "You've arrived!"

"Lord Roya!"

The Neptune family also quickly greeted Roya.

"Um,"

Roya nodded slightly to the crowd, then looked down with interest at the eldest son being held in Jabati's arms. "Is this your son, Colon?"

"Yes, Boss!"

Jabba quickly placed Kolomb in front of Roya and made him kneel down, saying, "This is my good-for-nothing son!"

"Please give your order on how to deal with him!"

His wife Anna, standing behind him, was already in tears at that moment. She quickly knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly to Roya, pleading, "Lord Roya! Please, spare this child! I beg you! I beg you!!"

Mom...

Cologne was badly injured, and Jabba forced him to kneel down, unable to even turn around to look at his weeping mother.

The boy was only suffering inside.

"Look what this bad boy has done to his mother!"

Luo Ya shook his head with a sigh, "If you're not satisfied with having such loving parents, you'll be punished by heaven."

"Roya!!"

Cologne almost gritted his teeth.

Isn't it all your fault, you bastard, that things have turned out this way?

"I just asked directly,"

Roya asked, "Were you talking to the remnants of Roger's pirate crew earlier?"

"I don't understand what you're saying—"

Cologne is preparing to deny it.

but.

"Oh, with them?"

A smile crept onto Roya's lips. "So, the second question: Is Shanks among the people you spoke to?"

Cologne's eyes widened, still not quite understanding what was happening, when he saw Roya nod slightly again, a smile on his face, "Oh, is that guy here too?"

"That's great! So, where are they now? Let me guess, are they in the Sabaody Archipelago where Rayleigh is living in seclusion?"

"What on earth did you do?!"

Cologne screamed in near terror.

Does this guy somehow know what he's thinking?

How can it be?

"As expected of the Boss!"

Jabba looked at him with great respect.

Is this an ability similar to Queen Otohime's Observation Haki?
Is it really in the Sabaody Archipelago?

Roya nodded in satisfaction.

"That is to say,"

Loki was beaming with excitement. "We'll be able to find that bastard Straw Hat soon, right!"

"Roughly the same,"

Roya nodded casually, then praised, "Well done, Jabba, you saved me a lot of trouble."

"This is what I should do!"

Jabba's smile was incredibly obsequious.

Roya's smile deepened. "As a reward, let your son work with you too."

Upon hearing this, Jabba was overjoyed, his sunglasses almost falling off his nose, and he immediately kowtowed.

"Boss, you're so generous!"

Is it generous?
Roya smiled and looked at Cologne, who was covered in wounds.
"Cologne, you don't want to see Jabba kill your mother with his own hands, do you?"

Cologne's eyes widened.

This is truly a father-son team going into battle.
