One Piece: Lord of Disaster.

Chapter 340 Destruction Descends from the Sky! Prepare for Battle!
East China Sea, Xiluobu Village, early morning.

"Pirates are coming!!"

The long-nosed boy ran through the quiet village, shouting as he went.

Wherever he went, doors burst open, people rushed out of their rooms, and hurled insults at his retreating figure.

"Usopp, you brat! Can't you just let me get a good night's sleep? Even just one day would be fine!"

"You brat, don't try to run away if you dare, or I'll beat your head until it's swollen!"

"Usopp! Stop right there!"

So, early in the morning, the village was already in complete chaos.

"Hahahaha!"

The long-nosed boy ran all the way to a steep cliff on the edge of the village.

Feeling that his prank had succeeded, he climbed up a big tree, swinging his legs and laughing so hard he almost fell over.

After laughing for a while, his expression gradually turned somber.

Gazing at the boundless sea ahead, the boy's eyes held a hint of bewilderment.

But soon, he raised his hands and patted his cheeks vigorously to cheer himself up.

Then, leaning against the tree trunk to straighten up, he took a deep breath and shouted towards the distant sea.

"Sooner or later, I'll set sail too!!!"

He was going to find his father!

The Straw Hat Pirates have been missing for a long time, and the boy is very worried about whether something has happened to his father.

So he made up his mind that when the time was right, he would go out to sea to find his father.

After venting his pent-up emotions with a loud shout, the boy dusted himself off and prepared to go home.

He still had to go tell stories to the young lady.

But at that moment, he suddenly saw a dark cloud.

A mysterious dark cloud suddenly appeared in the sky, very, very far away.

Is a storm coming?

The boy took out his binoculars and peered into the distance.

then.

He suddenly saw a light.

Suddenly, a ray of light fell from the dark clouds at the edge of the sky.

"Hmm! Did it thunder?"

The boy was a little confused.

But the Thunder don't seem to be this color.

then.

Boom! !
The island suddenly began to shake.

"Huh? An earthquake??"

The boy was almost knocked off the tree by the shock, but he quickly grabbed the trunk with both hands to maintain his balance.

Even so, he was terrified.

This island has never experienced any disasters like earthquakes over the years!
Before the boy could recover, a violent roar suddenly came from afar.

It was a deafening roar, like a volcanic eruption, that made the boy's ears ache.

"Wow!!"

Because his ears were throbbing with pain from the vibration, he instinctively raised his hands to cover them, but this caused him to lose his balance and jump directly off the tree.

To make matters worse, he fell straight down the cliff, tumbling down the steep face before crashing heavily onto the beach below, with most of his head buried in the sand and his backside in the air, looking utterly pathetic.

“It hurts, it hurts!!”

The boy pulled his head out of the sand mouth, screaming in agony.

It's clear that the boy has extraordinary physical abilities; he wasn't injured even after rolling down from such a height.

On the other hand, there's that unlucky guy who fell down the stairs and died instantly.

Boom!

The boy heard a violent roar once again and felt the earth tremble.

He raised his head, somewhat bewildered.

On the distant sea, a white line is rapidly approaching.

The boy's eyes widened, and cold sweat began to appear densely on his forehead and back.

Boom! !

The boundless sea suddenly had an edge, like a surging, gigantic wave, as if ten thousand horses were galloping in!

"Sea, sea..."

The boy felt his body go weak, but in the next instant he remembered something, immediately sprang to his feet, turned and ran towards the village behind him.
"A tsunami is coming!!"

A tsunami! A colossal tsunami, capable of swallowing the heavens and earth, surged forth from the distant horizon with the power to crush everything in its path!

One giant wave after another, like mountains suddenly rising from the sea, blotting out the sky and blocking out life and death!

The boy was running, running forward with all his might.

We need to tell everyone this news quickly, and get everyone to take refuge as soon as possible!

He told himself so in his heart.

but.

boom! !

The loud noise was already very close.

He dared not turn around, dared not even glance back.

He was terrified to see the surging waves so close, about to engulf everything on the island.

Therefore, he did not see the colossal wave behind him, which surged hundreds of meters high and seemed to swallow the entire world.

"A tsunami is coming! Run!!"

The boy shouted at the top of his lungs.

His faint voice was utterly insignificant amidst the thunderous roar; no one could hear it.

Moreover, there's no need for him to report it now.

Everyone living on this island could clearly see the towering waves on one side of the island!

boom!
Just as an ordinary person might step on an ant, a surging giant wave could swallow the entire island in the next instant.

The island wasn't even a speed bump; it didn't slow down the towering waves for even a moment, and the massive tsunami continued to surge forward without stopping.

As for everyone on the island, all they can do is wish them good luck.

Some distance from the island that had been swallowed by the giant waves, in a certain area of ​​the sea, was the place where the long-nosed boy had seen the lightning strike.

At this moment, it felt like the end of the world.

Thick, dark clouds covered the sky, and dazzling lightning bolts leaped and clashed like dancing silver snakes.

Below, on the sea surface, an enormous whirlpool swirls, from which wave after wave of surging giant waves extend.

But what's terrifying is that at the center of the vortex is an enormous, deep black hole.

This place seems to connect to the deepest part of hell, unfathomable and pitch black.

Moreover, seawater didn't even pour into it; instead, the surrounding sea level rose slightly!
It was as if gravity itself had been altered!
Above this enormous abyss, amidst the dark clouds and leaping lightning, a massive, dark outline could be vaguely seen.

It was a ship as big as an island.

Inside the ship, in the area where the navy personnel were gathered.

"How could this be?!"

The blind general was furious.

Veins bulged on his forehead, where two crisscrossing scars stood out. "An entire island has been swallowed up! All sound vanished in an instant. Is this all it takes to test the power of this weapon?!"

"Calm down! For life!"

At this moment, Zephyr spoke up to stop him, "I understand your anger, but now is not the time to act impulsively!"

"Mr. Zefa!"

The naval admiral codenamed Fujitora turned around solemnly, "If sacrificing the lives of ordinary people is necessary for the greater good, then what difference is there between us and the people we despise!" Zephyr sighed, "Anyone can say nice things, but the only way to defeat Roja is to rely on Im."

"For the sake of more people, for the sake of true peace and tranquility, we can only endure it for now."

"..."

Fujitora remained silent, only clenching his fists tightly.

What a pathetic world!

To defeat the world's largest pest, we must rely on the power of another pest!

No matter how much he upholds justice, no matter how much he values ​​the people, Fujitora must admit that Mr. Zephyr is right.

“But Mr. Zephyr,”

Fujitora asked solemnly, "After that World King defeated Roja, what should we do next?"

Zefa suddenly smiled, "At least for now, we can only gamble on them both suffering heavy losses."

"..."

Fujitora was taken aback again.

Then he shook his head helplessly. "Mr. Zephyr, has anyone ever told you that you are a madman? Even a gambler like me can't help but feel weak in the knees when faced with a bet like this."

"I've been crazy for a long time!"

Zephyr grinned. "I went mad more than twenty years ago, when that scum Roya killed so many marines right in front of me!"

Fujitora remained silent.

Almost at the same moment.

Deep within this sky city, atop that high throne.

Im, who was shrouded in a black robe as always, now had a hint of excitement in his voice.

"Very good, Vegapunk did a great job!"

The world's king even smiled, "His power is no less than it was eight hundred years ago; Uranus has finally been resurrected!"

“But, Lord Im,”

The three elders knelt beneath the throne. Vochuli bowed his head respectfully and said, "Vegapunk said that if Uranus engages in intense combat, one unit of energy might only last for one or two days!"

"never mind!"

Im said nonchalantly, "We can create more energy, can't we? It's not like it's something that disappears after one use."

"Let Vegapunk speed up the production of more energy."

"at the same time,"

Imna gripped the throne handle tightly with his right hand beneath his black robe. "Hurry and confirm the whereabouts of that scum, Royana."

"Yes!"

Magu Nasu said with equal respect, "According to Sengoku, Rosin's infiltration work has been very successful, and he has gradually gained Doflamingo's trust."

"Although we haven't been able to take them to the Cataclysmic Company's headquarters yet, that day shouldn't be too far off."

"hurry up."

Im urged, "Now that Uranus has been resurrected, the time for the final battle has arrived!!"

As long as we can find Roya and his gang's hideout, Uranus can wipe those scum out in an instant with a single shot!

Door-Door Fruit?

If someone fires at you from hundreds of kilometers away, even if you could foresee the future, you absolutely wouldn't be able to react in time!
As long as we can find the whereabouts of Roya and his gang, victory is already assured!

"Yes!"

The three old men's heads slammed heavily to the ground.

The final battle is about to begin!

The news has begun to spread throughout the floating city, and all forces are being mobilized.

"Is it finally starting?"

This is the CP0 headquarters, and the high-ranking intelligence agents, all dressed in white suits, all have inscrutable expressions.

"Are we going to have to fight those monsters again?"

The CPP executives, who had survived the Battle of Mary Geoise, had complex expressions at this moment.

Those who did not experience that battle were filled with fighting spirit.

"That idiot Bruno actually used by the enemy,"

The man with very distinctive, sickle-like eyebrows said coldly, "In that case, let me execute him myself."

Beside him, the man with a long nose sighed helplessly, "Lucci, you're really ruthless!"

"Humph."

His only response was a cold, indifferent snort.

The garrison of the Knights of God.

"Hahaha! Is it finally time for war? We've been waiting impatiently for years!"

The man was shirtless, wearing black trousers, with an unsheathed long sword at his waist. From his left chest to his left abdomen, the four large characters "Shikawa Shinju" were written on his upper right side.

"Be quiet, Arammu,"

The red-haired man said impatiently, "There's no point in spouting nonsense here now. I hope you'll still be this excited when facing that monster, Roya."

"Hahahaha!"

Having joined the Knights of God during the previous massive conscription and risen to become a Celestial Dragon in one fell swoop, Aramaki laughed heartily and said, "Don't worry, Boss Shamrock! No matter who the opponent is, I will fight to the death!"

"For the glory of the Celestial Dragons!"

The current commander of the Knights of God, Shamlock, twitched the corner of his mouth.

You, a self-taught individual, are still talking about the glory of the Celestial Dragons.

However, this guy's strength is indeed extraordinary, and he truly deserves the status of a Celestial Dragon.

Is it finally starting?
Shamlock quietly polished his beloved knife.

The thought of that monster, Roya, still fills him with genuine terror.

That was simply an opponent he could not contend with.

But thankfully, there is still the great Lord Im!

but--

A new idea suddenly popped into his head.

If Lord Im is forced to withdraw all his power—

The leader of the Knights of God subconsciously shook his head.

Impossible! That's Lord Im! When that monster Roya faced that lord before, didn't he just run away in panic?

Not to mention, there's even a resurrected Heavenly King now!
There is absolutely no reason to fail!

Just like eight hundred years ago, these Celestial Dragons only need to follow behind Lord Im, just like their ancestors, and they can rightfully achieve final victory!

Just as Aramaki said, the glory of the Celestial Dragons will surely continue!

A naval assembly area.

The highest-ranking officers of the Navy gathered together.

Attendees included Marshal Sengoku, Hero Garp, the four generals, Chief Strategist Tsuru, and Chief Instructor Zephyr.

Even figures like Momousagi and Chaton, who were considered candidates for generalship, were not qualified to participate in this meeting.

"I'll just say what I mean,"

Sengoku took a deep breath. "Prepare for the final battle."

"I can't wait!"

Akainu nodded forcefully.

"Then fight!"

Aokiji solemnly replied, "All we can do now is fight with all our might!"

Everyone wore the same serious expression.

At this moment, Zephyr said, "Sengoku, well then I also have something to say. Shouldn't we talk about the future of the navy?"

In any case, preparations are already in full swing here!
The pivotal battle that will determine the future of the world is about to begin!
