One Piece: Lord of Disaster.

Chapter 339 Sea Calendar 1520! The time for war has come!
The two young fallen angels' fight became increasingly fluid as it progressed.

Although they still fight entirely on instinct, as Judge said, this instinct engraved deep in their bloodline genes comes from two of the most legendary monsters on the sea!

The young Shiki, wielding two swords, had golden hair flying behind his head. The two famous swords, Sakura-ju and Kumoku, were like two dazzling streaks of light in his hands, leaving brilliant trails in the air.

His rival, the young Roger, was equally formidable. Ace, the Supreme Grade Sword that had not been drawn for over twenty years, now revealed its sharpness once more. Each swing tore through the sky, compressing the air and emitting a sharp vacuum wave.

The two fought so fiercely that the flames behind their heads had even died down, and the terrifying speed of the Lunaria race was unleashed to its fullest extent in that instant!

Those with slightly weaker abilities couldn't even see their movement speed clearly; they could only hear a series of crisp, crackling sounds, like pearls falling onto a jade plate.

Not only were they fast, but the boys' strength was also astonishing. They could tear through specially made hard ground with a single slash and shatter an equally hard wall with a single kick.

As Robin watched the clash between the two boys, her gaze grew increasingly serious.

Their strength is not much weaker than hers!
Furthermore, they haven't even eaten Devil Fruits yet, nor have they mastered Haki like the Calamity Knights.

If these teenagers were to evolve to their full potential, if they could also be mass-produced like the Calamity Knights—

Robin couldn't even imagine how desperate that future would be!

"awesome!"

Roya, who was holding Robin's slender waist, squinted his eyes with a look of pleasure. It was unclear whether he meant Robin or the two boys who were fighting.

However, to be fair, it's not hard to understand why these two androids inherited the fighting instincts of Shiki and Roger.

The young empress in the original work also inherited Hancock's infatuation with Luffy.

In that case, just as Judge said, these boys and girls are truly the most perfect humans.

As for himself, Luo Ya was quite self-aware.

His only special feature was that he was a time traveler, and he also brought with him the abilities of Qiongqi.

Otherwise, no matter how talented he was, he could never have reached the level he has today.

Barrett,

Luo Ya spoke up, "I'm leaving it to you. Is that alright?"

"Of course!"

Barrett, standing straight like a javelin and silent like a mountain behind Roya, spoke solemnly.

"Leave them all to me, Boss! I will train them into truly flawless warriors!"

"Then please."

As always, Luo Ya, acting as a hands-off manager, smiled slightly.

Barrett is basically the head instructor of the Catastrophe Corporation; guys like Titchloki were all trained by him.

Roja felt at ease entrusting these fallen angels to him.

"As for Devil Fruits,"

Roya smiled. "The replication of Logia and Mythical Zoan types is still very unstable. We can't fool them with ordinary Paramecia and Zoan types. Dylan, we need to speed up the collection of ability users."

These fallen angels are all true monsters; ordinary Devil Fruits are no match for them.

"Yes! Boss!"

Dylan nodded solemnly in return.

"By the way, Judge,"

Roya seemed to remember something and turned to look at Judge, who was standing to the side. "How's the energy research going?"

I obtained the research data from Vegapunk more than a year ago, so why is there still no progress?

"Um, well..."

Judge's forehead instantly broke out in a few beads of cold sweat. "I'm afraid it won't be able to be completed in a short time."

"Oh?"

Roya raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Didn't the information Vegapunk sent over work?"

Vegapunk?

Robin was taken aback again when she heard Roya's words.

She was certainly familiar with this name.

Or rather, there should be very few people in this world who don't know this name.

The world's number one scientist, the leader of the naval science force under the World Government, a great scientist who is said to have mastered technology that is hundreds of years ahead of the world!
How come Vegapunk is involved here?

The Revolutionary Army is one thing, but does that mean Vegapunk is also one of Roja's men?
"Regarding this matter,"

Caesar chimed in, "If the information about artificial Devil Fruits weren't genuine, we might even have doubted whether Vegapunk had provided fake information."

"What do you mean?"

Luo Ya raised an eyebrow.

"Originally, we thought that Vegapunk's research on energy was just different from ours in terms of direction, and we thought we would study it in depth to see if we could learn something from it."

Judge said cautiously, "But in fact, as the research went deeper, we gradually discovered that Vegapunk's hypothesis seemed to have flaws!"

“You can’t develop a qualified energy source based on that data.”

"so,"

Luo Ya asked in surprise, "The information is fake?"

"It can't be said to be fake; it is possible to research and extract energy from it, but it's not enough to support the use of ancient weapons!"

Judge was somewhat conflicted. "I can only say that this isn't the kind of information Vegapunk should be providing!"

"Is that so?"

Luo Ya smiled, a smirk playing on his lips. "So, I was tricked, right?"

Judge and Caesar instantly fell silent, not daring to utter a single word.

Although we didn't immediately discover the problems in the materials Vegapunk provided, thankfully, we didn't waste any time.

Otherwise, they wouldn't dare tell the Boss about it at all.

"Never mind, it doesn't matter anymore."

Luo Ya chuckled lightly, "Let's just do the research normally, none of that matters anymore."

"Yes!"

Judge and Caesar breathed a sigh of relief.

But Robin was somewhat taken aback.

What does it mean to be unimportant?
Aren't ancient weapons important?
According to this guy, without a sufficiently powerful energy source, neither the Pluto left behind by Joy Boy nor the newly built Pluto could fulfill its intended purpose, right?
What's this guy thinking right now?
Do they really think they can evolve to the point where they can rival ancient weapons?

Roya didn't care what Robin was thinking; he simply took the newly acquired kitten to meet someone else.

This is a special area inside the City of Calamity, a huge pool dotted with many small man-made floating islands.

"Hey, Shirahoshi, I've come to see you!"

Robin watched as Roya stood on one of the small rocks, his hands cupped around his mouth, shouting into the distance.

White Star?

Robin knows that name!

Soon, ripples appeared on the water's surface.

A huge human figure emerged from beneath the water.

She was a mermaid girl with beautiful long cherry blossom hair.

Although she is a bit too big, her beauty is undeniable.

"Lord Roya..."

The little princess with a round face greeted Luo Ya timidly, her eyes lowered, not daring to look at him at all.

Princess Shirahoshi!

Robin clenched his fists instinctively.

She had heard this name from Mr. Jabba. The princess of the Dragon Palace Kingdom!
That is, the true form of Poseidon, the sea god!

"How about it?"

Luo Ya stepped forward on the air.

Robin looked closely and saw that the air beneath his feet was rippling, allowing him to walk on the void as if on flat ground.

This is probably the effect of this guy's extraordinary domineering aura, right?

Luo Ya walked up to Bai Xing, raised his hand and stroked the child's huge head, speaking in a gentle tone like an older brother next door.

Did you make any progress today?

Robin saw the little princess visibly tremble.

She seemed genuinely terrified!
Then, the little princess nervously twisted the hem of her dress with her slender fingers, lowered her head, and whispered, "I can, I can hear their voices more clearly now."

"well done."

Luo Ya happily rubbed the little girl's cheeks again.

The girl, not yet fourteen, had a face full of collagen, and the texture of her skin was as smooth and tender as a freshly peeled egg.

Of course, Roya's intimacy only made the little princess tremble even more, and her big eyes were now filled with tears that were about to fall.

"Keep up the good work, Shiro!"

As if completely oblivious to the little girl's fear, Roya simply encouraged her, saying, "You need to master your abilities quickly; you're my trump card."

"Yes, yes, Lord Roya!"

The little girl nodded repeatedly, so quickly that one might worry her slender neck might break.

This scumbag!

Robin couldn't help but curse inwardly.

This monster, Roya, probably doesn't possess any human emotions at all!

However, besides anger, Robin also realized something more important!
Shirahoshi has not fully mastered her power yet, which means that Aquaman has not fully awakened!

Although Roja possesses three ancient weapons, all three are incomplete!
This discovery filled Robin with renewed excitement!
In that case! In that case! Once Nidhogg is fully developed, victory will be within reach!!

"Alright, keep going!"

Roya gently patted the little princess's forehead.

"Yes!"

The little princess's voice finally carried a hint of joy. After bowing respectfully to Roya, she plunged into the water and disappeared.

The whole thing is about being impatient.

"So cute, isn't it?"

Luo Ya looked at the still rippling water and smiled without looking up.

"Roya, you are too arrogant."

Robin said calmly.

They made no attempt to conceal these secrets from her.

He completely disregarded her.

"Arrogant?"

Roya simply stretched leisurely. "You don't understand, Robin. It's because I really can't figure out how I could possibly lose!"

Robin gave a slight smirk.

Go ahead and be arrogant, Roya.

People who are complacent and overconfident cannot see the world clearly. When they trip over weeds they don't even care about, I hope they won't regret it!
And so, time began to flow again.

The City of Calamity's journey around the Red Line ultimately ended in failure; even Violet's Gaze-Gaze ​​Fruit failed to locate that bastard Im.

In the end, we can only place our hopes on the artificial satellite program or Rosinandi and his team.

Then, almost another year passed.

The current time is the second half of the year 1520 in the Haiyuan calendar.

In the original work, this was a very important year. It was in this year that Straw Hat Luffy set sail, gathered his crew, and rampaged through the first half of the Grand Line.

However, Roya waited for several months, but a pirate named Luffy never appeared in this world.

Perhaps, Luffy doesn't exist in this world?
It's not like we're missing out on this butterfly effect.

Even if that kid really exists, what makes him, who has already lost the Nika Fruit, a Chosen One?
There is no longer a stage for him in this world!
With Robin on his left arm and Hancock on his right, Roja was leisurely basking in the sun somewhere in this world, thinking these thoughts.

Meanwhile, Roya continued to expand.

On another part of the sky in this world.

The Five Elders, now reduced to only three, the world's most powerful beings, rushed to a laboratory somewhere.

The moment he stepped inside, the current God of Scientific Defense, Gellinger, yelled at the top of his lungs, "Vegapunk! You said the research is complete, is that true?!"

Not only him, but the other two of the Five Elders, Wild Boar Vochuli and Horsebone Nassjuro, also had their eyes burning with anticipation.

Although the World Government is currently being tormented by the pirate alliance, it has only managed to control half of the world.

To prevent Roya from attacking again, they were forced to disappear without a trace, and even government decrees had to be issued with extreme caution.

This has led to a visible decline in the World Government's control even in the remaining half of the world, despite their recruitment of many non-member states to join.

But it doesn't matter, all the forbearance has paid off today!

The three Elders stared intently at Vegapunk!

"That's right!"

Vegapunk nodded heavily.

He turned to the side, making the three Elders look at the huge metal tank behind him.

The huge metal can has a circular glass window on the front.

Looking through this glass window, you can see a small flame burning quietly in the center of the transparent liquid.

"Great!!"

Vochuli had never been so excited; his undisguised smile made even his mustache tremble.

"Vegapunk! Well done!!"

"but……"

While the three supreme leaders of the world governments were extremely excited, Vegapunk suddenly hesitated before speaking.

"but?"

The smiles on the three faces froze instantly, and they all turned to look at Vegapunk.

"Because time was too tight,"

Vegapunk scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "This energy source is actually still in an incomplete state."

"Incomplete?"

Gellinger had already instinctively placed his hand on the hilt of his sword, wishing he could draw it immediately and kill Vegapunk with a single blow. His tone was filled with utter anger.
"Then what did you say was a success? Are you kidding us?"

"No no no!"

Vegapunk shook his head repeatedly, saying, "The unfinished part is that it's not the endless energy I expected!"

"It is finite!"

"However, we should be able to fully utilize the power of this ship before it runs out!"

The three elders paused for a moment, then looked at each other simultaneously.

Then they both saw a hint of excitement in each other's eyes.

In that case, it seems like it might not be a bad idea.

It seems that the moment for the real war has already arrived!
