One Piece: Lord of Disaster.

Chapter 319 A Cruel World! Gathered Power! One Year Later

On the vast, plain-like top deck of the City of Calamity.

Luo Ya stood leisurely with his hands behind his back, looking every bit the composed master.

"Hehehe! Roya, since this is something you asked for, I won't hold back!"

Kaido, the elder brother whom Roya respected the most, carried his spiked club and looked down at Roya with a strange smile on his lips, relying on his mountain-like height.

"Mommy, Mommy, Roya, you're not going to get angry because you got beaten up and suddenly unleash all your power, are you?"

Charlotte Linlin carried her large sword, her laughter filled with great interest.

"Bring it on, Kaido-nii, Linlin-nii!"

Luo Ya spread his hands, smiling calmly, "With just the two of you, you shouldn't be able to push me to that point!"

"You brat, aren't you looking down on me a bit too much!"

With a roar, Charlotte Linlin stomped her foot so hard that it left a deep footprint on the solid platform beneath her feet, and her massive body launched forward like a cannonball.

On Napoleon's raised greatsword, black and red lightning leaped up, tearing the air into a narrow and wide vacuum, and the dazzling sharpness rushed straight towards Roya's head.

"Then, let's start!"

Roya grinned, his body appearing rather small in comparison to the two monsters, Kaido and Charlotte Linlin, yet at this moment he unleashed astonishing speed.

The next instant, Roya and Charlotte Linlin's greatsword collided violently.

Roya's right fist was pitch black, with invisible fluctuations emanating from it.

boom! !

The powerful lightning spread out like a spiderweb, accompanied by a whirlwind that instantly swept across the entire top deck.

In the earth-shattering collision, Charlotte Linlin's massive body staggered backward.

"What!!"

At this moment, the face of Aunt Lingling, whom Luo Ya respected the most, was clearly one of astonishment and disbelief.

She certainly couldn't believe it!
Roya's strength is beyond question. Even those monsters who were called the Pirate Emperor before his return were no match for him.

But that should be the real Roya when he gets serious!
That brat Roya, let them help him train.

He said that only in real, intense battles can the domineering aura evolve most rapidly.

In this world, the only person who can truly put Roya in a tough fight is Im.

Of course, it's impossible to actually find Im to be a sparring partner.

So Luo Ya settled for second best and had the big shots in the alliance help him with his cultivation.

However, Roya, when he went all out, was too strong; even all of them combined couldn't defeat him.

Therefore, Roja said he would not use his abilities or Conqueror's Haki.

So at this moment, this brat is simply fighting with his body and Armament Haki!
Even so, at the moment of the collision, Charlotte Linlin clearly felt that she had fallen into a disadvantageous position!

What a joke!
After undergoing the bloodline factor implantation surgery, my strength should have improved even further!
With even greater strength and physique, he shouldn't be at a disadvantage against Kaido or Shiki before they underwent the bloodline factor implantation surgery!
Just how strong is that bastard Roya?!

On the sidelines, even the Golden Lion, who hadn't shown much interest in the training match, couldn't help but laugh out loud. "His Armament Haki isn't that outstanding, but what's with this physique!"

"Kaido and Linlin are already natural monsters, but compared to this kid's physique, they are as weak as children!"

Even without using his abilities to transform into that terrifying monster form, Roya's human form was already excessively powerful!

"That's why I said,"

Luo Ya chuckled lightly, "Those who are interested can all come at me together."

The value for the "all-out effort" attitude is just over two hundred.

Without using any special abilities, if he were to use Conqueror's Haki at full power, the power level would be roughly the same as Im's possessed form.

Even if Conqueror's Haki is disabled now, with this body that surpasses human limits, he should be no less powerful than Kaido or Shiki.

"Hehehe! Let's go!"

Kaido charged forward, laughing wildly. Blue scales appeared on his body, and Haki lightning crackled impatiently from the iron rod in his hand.

"Thunder Gossip!!"

"Hahaha! I'll join in the fun too!"

Golden Lion had already charged forward, wielding two swords.

Luo Ya's lips curled up. "Now that's more interesting."

Thus, the righteous three-on-one battle began.

No matter how strong Roya's physical body was by nature, relying solely on Armament Haki and Observation Haki, he was still instantly at a disadvantage when facing three top-level experts at the same time.

Charlotte Linlin is somewhat better off; she doesn't use Observation Haki to foresee the future, so Roja can easily predict her attacks.

However, Kaido and Shiki are different; both are powerful figures with no weaknesses, whose abilities and Haki have all reached their peak.

Forget about using Observation Haki to foresee the future, they can even use Observation Kill.

Almost instantly, Roya was sent flying by the two men.

But Roya laughed, "Hahaha! That's more like it!"

Without a sufficiently powerful opponent, without feeling enough pressure, how can Armament Haki and Observation Haki be transformed?

but.

not enough.

Roya only took a slight breath, and the shallow wounds left on him by Kaido and Shiki disappeared instantly.

There was no other way; absorbing the black energy would heal his injuries—it was a passive ability. He couldn't just stop breathing forever, could he?
"Give me a few more!"

Even the Golden Lion couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement upon hearing this.

From this perspective, even just using Armament Haki, that bastard Roya could easily wear down the three of them!

"Brother Roya, can I come along?"

Yamato, watching from the sidelines, seemed eager to join in.

"And I!"

Bonnie also drew his greatsword, his face equally beaming with excitement.

Since gaining her abilities, she hasn't had a proper, satisfying battle with anyone yet!

Before them, a figure had already launched himself out.

"go to hell!!"

Hancock, the little wildcat that Roya had tamed, had a ferocious expression on her face and didn't hesitate to deliver a flying kick to Roya.

A powerful lightning bolt crackled and leaped along her long, slender, snow-white leg, piercing the air in that instant, as the sharp high heel hurtled straight at Roya's head.

"Oh! Everyone should learn from Hancock!"

Luo Ya nodded repeatedly with a satisfied look on his face, "That's more like it! How can my domineering aura bear fruit if I'm not determined to kill him!"

"Hehehe! Then I won't be polite!"

"Hehehehe! Well then, don't cry and beg for mercy, kid!"

"Mommy, Mommy! Come on!!"

boom! !

The earth shook.

Luo Ya is settling down.

Of course, he doesn't spend all his time meditating. Luo Ya adheres to the principle of balancing work and rest, and after a few hours of practice, he will naturally relax.

And it was at this moment that someone called.

"Haha, Boss,"

Morgans' voice was filled with laughter, "That guy Dragon has abandoned the Revolutionary Army!"

"Oh?"

Roya, who was teasing Hancock, became interested and asked with a light laugh, "What's going on?"

"He left the Revolutionary Army headquarters with Sabo and Ivankov,"

Morgans said with a grin, "Before that, I also contacted other senior officers of the revolutionary army—those senior officers I considered trustworthy!"

"It seems like they're trying to form a new revolutionary army!"

"Oh?"

Roya gently pinched Hancock's smooth, egg-like cheek. "The New Revolutionary Army? They've really got guts this time."

Knowing that the power of the Disaster Company had become as clinging to the Revolutionary Army as a leech, the only way to break free was to make a drastic decision.

"So, Boss, shall we fight?" Morgans said. "Dragon abandoned the Revolutionary Army, but the Revolutionary Army is still the Revolutionary Army. They will still be the hope of the West Blue and even the whole world."

It means that Dragon and his group are no longer needed.

"How is the new revolutionary army?"

"Has it escaped our control?" Roya asked.

"hey-hey,"

Morgans' laughter suddenly turned lewd. "Like I said, half of the revolutionary army is among us."

"Drag thought he could get rid of us by gathering his most trusted officers, but, heh heh, he doesn't seem to realize that half of those officers he trusts are from our group!"

"In that case, it doesn't matter, just ignore it."

Luo Ya said casually.

Morgans has done a really good job over the years; someone who infiltrated the Revolutionary Army has actually climbed to that level.

That makes sense, after all, they all started from the initial public offering (IPO) stage.

"Yes."

Morgans hung up the phone respectfully.

Since the boss had said so, he didn't really care.

Anyway, the so-called revolutionary army, the so-called rebellious dragons, are nothing more than stray dogs on the roadside in front of the Boss. Whenever the Boss wants to, he can just kick them to death.

Just as I put down the Den Den Mushi, Hancock's cold, sharp voice came through my ear.
"Sooner or later, you scum will pay the price for your arrogance!"

Although she didn't know the specifics, Hancock could tell from the conversation.

The world-renowned Revolutionary Army has also been infiltrated by Roya. Now, the leader of the Revolutionary Army has decided to cut off his arm to survive, but Roya, who knows everything, has no intention of doing anything.

"You still don't understand, Hancock,"

Luo Ya simply smiled and pinched the woman's nose. "This world is very realistic, and also very cruel."

"Those who are not favored by fate can never shake the world, no matter how hard they try!"

In this world, bloodline theory has to take a backseat; fatalism is the true underlying logic.

Abel's lineage is unmatched, and Loki and Harald need no further introduction, but they are still far from being able to shake this world.

Because they weren't chosen, even heroes like the captain or Roger couldn't change the world.

“Robin isn’t, Shanks isn’t. Fate didn’t choose them; that was destined the moment they didn’t eat the Gum-Gum Fruit. And Dragon is even less so; he’s never even touched the truth of the world.”

Roya chuckled and tapped Hancock's forehead with his finger.
"While it may sound arrogant to say that, they don't even have the right to be my enemy."

Well, we still need to take Nidhogg, which Robin and his crew have, a little seriously.

Sigh, how could we have let them get away?
Hancock's eyes widened.

As time goes by, the world is indeed changing rapidly.

In the Western Sea and the Northern Sea, Roya's fleet is expanding rapidly.

Even though the revolutionary army in the North Sea and some patriots in the West Sea stood up to lead the people in resistance, these resistances were simply no match for the pirates.

The final result was nothing more than one tragedy after another.

Later on, almost no one dared to stand up and resist anymore.

Everyone in the world knows that the pirates have achieved a complete victory in the battle for control of the West Blue and the North Blue.

Roya is about to rule half the world, and the world government is powerless to stop him.

Roya and Im—these are the names of the two people standing at the pinnacle of this era, a world unprecedented in its true sense of being divided in two.

Anyone with a modicum of common sense knows that it won't be long before these two forces, each vying for a share of the world, erupt into a massive war with the entire world at stake!
In preparation for this war, both sides began to continuously expand their forces.

Pirate alliances began to recruit a large number of pirates.

After all, they were simply short-handed, and it was beyond their capabilities to rule over the three vast seas of the North Sea New World and the West Sea.

However, anyone with a modicum of common sense knows that using pirates to control those occupied countries would lead to chaos on the Red Line.

Meanwhile, world governments have already taken action.

They drastically lowered the threshold for Celestial Gold, attracting many countries to become members of the World Government in one fell swoop.

At the same time, the Navy has launched a new round of large-scale recruitment worldwide. This time, the threshold is lower. Even if you have a criminal background, as long as you are not too outrageous and have outstanding strength, you can become a member of the army of justice.

Somewhere in the paradise of the first half of the Grand Line.

In a certain country, in a certain city, at a noodle shop stall.

A blind man dressed in a purple kimono is quietly eating noodles.

People were talking loudly next to him.

"The world government has actually been forced to this point! Even our country has become a member state!"

"That monster Roya is absolutely terrifying! I wonder if the World Government can win!"

"Isn't the navy conducting a massive recruitment drive? I heard they've even increased the number of admiral positions; as long as you're strong enough, you can be appointed directly!"

"A general, huh—"

The blind man eating noodles stared at his pale eyes and sighed with a smile, "Alas, one must always do something for this world."

What people don't know is that, in the shadows of the world, the world government is also recruiting soldiers.

Regardless of character or past, as long as one possesses outstanding abilities, one has the opportunity to become a great knight of the gods!
A country in the South China Sea.

"You are, Aramaki, right? Do you want to become one of the great Celestial Dragons?"

"what?"

As the two major powers began to expand, those with ulterior motives also did not stop.

East China Sea, Shuangyue Village.

"I'm sorry, Koushirou, we may have to stay in this village for the time being."

"It's nothing, Mr. Dragon. I've heard about what happened. I didn't expect Roya to be this terrifying! But, is it really okay to start all over again?"

"It's alright, all the people around the world who are persecuted by Roya and the World Government are our comrades!!"

A temporary naval base on the Red Line.

"this!"

Zefa stared in astonishment.

The young man before me exuded a wild and unrestrained spirit.

"That bastard Roya! I'll beat him to a pulp one day! Two more countries have been destroyed because of him!"

Having grown up in the navy, the righteous young man was enraged by the news coming from the North Sea.

The Conqueror's Haki of rage has awakened!
"Luffy!"

Zefa was somewhat relieved.

Sure enough, this child possesses the qualities to become a powerhouse no less than Garp.

"Anger is pointless. If you're not satisfied, then become stronger, Luffy!"

Zefa solemnly declared, "Next comes the next step: further cultivation!"

Since this kid has such talent, all I can do is guide him to develop it in the shortest possible time!

"Yes!"

Somewhere along the Grand Line.

A large fleet is anchored near a remote island.

Whitebeard sat quietly on the shore, drinking his wine.

He took all those Sphinx who were willing to go with him with him, plus a large number of affiliated pirate crews, and in the end, he had a fleet that was comparable in size to a mobile nation.

Maintaining such a fleet is no easy task.

Whitebeard is having a headache.

That's the time.

"Ok?"

He looked up in astonishment, gazing at the horizon.

That's a dragon?

And just like that, more than a year passed in a blur.

It is now the second half of the year 1519 in the Haiyuan calendar.
