One Piece: Lord of Disaster.

Chapter 344 The Sea Kings' Strange Movements! An Attack! The Artillery Barrage Commences!

Above a patch of sky in the East China Sea, a jet-black dragon spreads its wings and moves forward.

Shanks and Dragon sat atop the black dragon, having engaged in a deep and thorough exchange.

They practically had a confession session.

Each person tells a secret, which basically means both sides have revealed their cards.

"I see!"

Shanks silently clenched his fists. "That bastard Roja has really gone to such lengths!"

If Dorrag hadn't told him personally, he would have found it hard to believe that Roya, that bastard, would allow the Revolutionary Army to keep launching uprisings in the North Sea for the sake of so-called hope!
That scumbag!

Does he really have emotions like a normal human being?

"I never imagined that Roya already knew the truth about the world!"

Dora also looked on with a sigh.

He knew that Roya possessed ancient weapons.

After all, that guy had taken Hades' blueprints from Water 7 a long time ago, and his airship was most likely built based on those blueprints.

He also has Aquaman, who can control Sea Kings!
But he never expected that Roya would most likely still have an original Hades ship!

That's a bit scary!
Ok!

Fortunately, this time we met Straw Hat Shanks!
Dorag lowered his head and looked at the back of the black dragon, which was so wide that it seemed to stretch to the horizon.

The Dragon of the End, comparable to ancient weapons!

There is such a weapon hidden in history!
In that case, even if they face the winner between Im and Roya, they are not entirely without the power to fight back!
They possess the power to change the situation!

At the same time, Shanks looked at Dragon with a look of relief.

The revolutionary army that Mr. Dragon now commands is only a remnant force, and apart from some elite cadres, its strength is very weak.

However, he had a collaborator who was the Navy's chief instructor, Zephyr, who was also the leader of the Navy's radical faction!
Best of all, they also consider Roya and Im as their hypothetical enemies!
That would be great!
It would have been very difficult for Nidhogg to defeat Roja on his own.

No matter how strong Nidhogg is individually, he is still just a lone dragon.

For Roja, who possesses the Door-Door Fruit ability, even if he can't win, running away would be easy.

However, if there is a sufficiently powerful force to assist, then things are different.

The Navy, the Revolutionary Army, the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates, these remnants of the Roger Pirates, plus Nidhogg.

It's not impossible to fight!

"Now is the best opportunity!"

Despite his injuries, Dragon said with a burning gaze, "Mr. Zephyr has already had someone confirm with Dr. Vegapunk that Uranus's energy is disposable. Until a backup energy source is created, it cannot fight for an extended period of time!"

"Even though Roya didn't manage to damage Im's power due to the surprise attack, with Nidhogg's strength and the Navy's support from within, taking down Uranus shouldn't be too difficult!"

"And it would be even better if Im and Roya fought to a draw!"

Shanks was also somewhat tempted upon hearing this, just as Dragon had said, this was indeed the best opportunity imaginable.

Even if Roya, caught off guard, doesn't have a chance to fight Im to a standstill, Im, who thinks he has already won, will definitely not be able to react to the next surprise attack!

Shanks said with a serious expression, "Nidhogg has not yet developed to its true full potential; it is not yet capable of directly confronting an Ancient Weapon!"

"So, we need to make a proper plan first!"

A city plagued by natural disasters.

The pirate alliance has also begun preparations for war.

Of course, Roya's preparations were much simpler.

The city of natural disaster rose into space, leaving only a space warship drifting in the skies above the new world.

Rosinandi remained on this spaceship.

Anyway, it's just leaving a bait; there's no need to actually use the City of Calamity.

This spaceship and the surrounding area spanning thousands of kilometers were under constant observation by artificial satellites. No matter which direction or method those bastards from Im came from, they shouldn't escape the eyes of the artificial satellites.

Then, naturally, we gave that guy a Sapres.

Roya and his monsters followed the City of Calamity to the outside of the world, but they were just above the spaceship, not far away.

As long as Im appears, they can still get there as quickly as possible.

The reason they didn't stay on that space battleship was entirely because they were afraid of the Heavenly King.

If someone were to accidentally not notice and get hit by Im's cannon, who knows how many people would die.

The final battle was imminent, so the monsters gathered on the top deck of the City of Calamity and began to fight one-on-one. Before the big battle, they wanted to warm up a bit.

And this time.

Roya, however, arrived at the pond where Princess Shirahoshi was.

He sat leisurely on the shore washing his feet, and gently stroked the forehead of the little princess in front of him whose head was just emerging from the water.

"Little White Star, it's about time to start the operation."

The little princess trembled, and her already fair complexion became even paler.

She stammered, "Boss... are we really going to do that? People would be so pitiful if we did that..."

"Silly child,"

Roya's smile became even more harmonious. He rubbed the little princess's big head and said with a smile, "If you don't do that, they will be more pitiful."

"Do you think it's better to have the Sea Kings take action, or for me to search island by island myself?"

"Yes, if I go there in person, Fishman Island will be included as well."

"Woo!"

The little princess with her round face let out a painful cry.

Hot tears were streaming down her face without stopping.

The little princess, heartbroken, didn't even dare to raise her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"I see……"

Sobbing, Shirahoshi nodded vigorously, choking back tears, "I understand, Boss... Please, please don't touch Fishman Island..."

"Good boy."

Luo Ya smiled and ruffled the little princess's hair. "So what are you waiting for? Let's start now."

"Yes!"

The little princess closed her eyes in pain.

Then, invisible and inaudible fluctuations spread out from her center.

This invisible wave easily passed through the void and landed directly on the azure sea below.

Then, in the blink of an eye, it enveloped the entire world.

then.

"Your Majesty! The King has given the order!"

"Let's act! Carry out the king's orders!"

Has the appointed time arrived?

Sounds inaudible to ordinary people echo in the deep seas around the world.

Then, from the pitch-black depths of the sea, one after another, giant beasts suddenly began to rise to the surface.

A catastrophe that will sweep the entire world is about to strike.

However, this matter is not important at this moment.

"Okay, all done..."

Princess Shirahoshi opened her eyes and looked cautiously at Roya, sniffling as she whispered something.

The little princess knew that she had committed a terrible sin.

But there is no way.

The little princess didn't have the courage to refuse Roya.

"Yeah, good boy."

Luo Ya gently rubbed the little princess's cheek again. "Go play."

"..."

The little princess glanced timidly at Roya, then plunged into the water with a splash.

Roya's Observation Haki allowed him to clearly sense that the little girl had dived directly to the bottom of the pool, hugging her knees and crying bitterly—if her fish tail had knees too.

"In this case,"

Luo Ya stood up and stretched leisurely. "Then I'm not afraid of anything!"

"You scum!"

Behind Roya, Hancock was cursing through clenched teeth.

"Oh!"

Roya turned around, looking pleased, and said, "That's what I love most about you, Hancock. Even after all these years, your attitude towards me hasn't changed at all!"

Hancock wanted nothing more than to kick this scumbag to death.

"Why! Roya!"

Robin's face turned ashen. "Why did we have to go this far? Since we're going to have a final battle with the World Government, why bother with such pointless things!"

"boring?"

Roya smiled. "What are you talking about? This is a very crucial step! It's precisely to prepare for the final battle with Im that we need to do this."

"What exactly do you mean?"

Robin looked somewhat bewildered.

She instinctively realized that she was about to hear something terrifying.

Luo Ya straightened up slightly, looking like he was about to tell him a secret, "It's for evolution."

"Evolution?" Robin was taken aback.

What does that mean? What is evolution?
After a brief moment of confusion and bewilderment, Robin finally realized what was happening.

Her whole body began to tremble at that moment, and her eyes were filled with fear as she looked at Roya.

Could it be that!
Do not!
impossible!

How could such a thing possibly happen?

"I really love human beings."

Luo Ya raised the corners of his mouth, revealing his most radiant, passionate, and innocent smile to the two beautiful women. "Only human suffering in the whole world can drive me to continuously evolve towards higher dimensions! I love them to death!"

"..."

Hancock's face froze instantly, and she stared at Roya in disbelief.

How could such a thing happen? What kind of monster is this guy?

Even Hancock couldn't help but feel a surge of fear from the depths of her heart at this moment!

This is not the fear of the weak towards the strong, or the fear of slaves towards their masters.

Rather, it is the deepest fear that humans feel towards their natural predators who feed on them, a fear that originates from the very depths of their souls!
"Roya!!"

Robin's shoulders were trembling slightly. "What kind of monster are you?!"

What kind of hideous and twisted monster is lurking beneath this skin?

Robin finally understood at that moment.

Why is this monster so full of malice towards this world? Why does he inexplicably enjoy tormenting everyone?

Because humans are not considered fellow human beings by Roya, but rather food!

This monster was created from the very beginning to plunge the entire world into an abyss of despair!
"My words,"

Luo Ya smiled and put his arm around their slender waists. "Perhaps it was a calamity that came to this world by chance."

"You monster!!"

Robin gritted his teeth.

However, she agreed with Roya's statement.

Roya is an enemy of humanity, and his arrival is indeed a disaster for the people living on this planet.

Moreover, it was an unprecedented, truly catastrophic disaster!
"Hahahaha, let's go!"

Roya laughed and put his arm around the two of them as they walked out. "From now on, you two will have to fight well for this monster!"

Hancock and Robin nearly ground their teeth to powder.

Of course, Roya is not lacking in combat power with these two; in fact, their strength on this ship wouldn't even rank in the top ten.

However, the mischievous Roja is determined to make the two women who hate him fight for him!

What pained Robin and Hancock even more was that they had no way to resist.

At this moment, everyone on Amazon Lily is still in Roya's hands.

"Don't regret it!"

Hancock said it quite fiercely.

This could be an opportunity.

If they appear on the battlefield, they might be able to launch a vicious backstab while Roya is fighting Im!

"I would welcome it, as long as you can do it."

Roya just smiled.

That would be even more interesting, wouldn't it?

Just when they thought they could turn the tide, he easily crushed their hopes. Just imagining the expressions on their faces at that moment made Roja feel incredibly satisfied.

He almost laughed out loud.

Just as Luo Ya returned to the deck with two beautiful women in his arms, leisurely watching the large machines warming up enthusiastically.

The Den Den Mushi suddenly rang.

Roya's lips curled into a smile.

There was no need to connect; he had already seen the future.

"Here I am."

He said.

The spacious rooftop platform fell silent instantly, and everyone turned to look at him.

Roya smiled gently and said calmly, "Let's attack."

“Ugh, ugh, ugh!!”

"Jie hahahaha!"

"Thief hahahaha!"

"Mom, mom, mom!"

Almost at the same moment.

In the sky of a certain new world.

The enormous sky city sped forward, shrouded in clouds.

Inside this enormous ship, in a spacious room.

Im remained seated high on his throne.

Below, the World Government's top combat forces are gathered.

The Three Elders, God Knight, CP, Navy.

Even vice admirals in the navy are not qualified to be here; all those who can stand respectfully beneath the throne of Im are true masters.

On the wall opposite Im, who sits high on his throne, a Den Den Mushi (snail phone) projects an image.

That was the view of the distant sky as observed by the super telescope aboard this large ship.

Zeff, standing in the naval ranks, glanced out of the corner of his eye at Im, who sat regally on the throne.

Roya is the worst of the worst, but could he possibly be a good person?

However, now, we finally have the power to break the deadlock.

Dragon, well done!
"The moment has finally arrived."

Im's androgynous, indistinct voice slowly rang out, "This world will finally return to the order it should be in."

No one spoke; everyone listened quietly.

The God Knights and the CPs are afraid to fight against Im.

The navy, on the other hand, was well aware that only the man sitting on the throne had the ability to fight against Roya.

If the next shot doesn't take down Roya, then we can only rely on this guy.

It was at this moment that, in the projected image, a ship's silhouette became clearly visible between the unchanging blue sky and sea.

In the spacious room, everyone's breathing subconsciously paused.

At the same time, a voice came from another Den Den Mushi, "That's the ship! The direction indicated by the Vivre Card is definitely there!"

It's Vegapunk's voice.

The next second, everyone subconsciously looked up at Im.

"Ok?"

Im paused for a moment, then asked, "Is Roya's ship really this small?"

The three elders also frowned.

The ship that Royal and his crew sailed on during the Battle of Mary Geoise was indeed much larger.

So, they've hidden the big ship and are hiding themselves in this small boat?

"Warring States!"

The wild boar Vochuli turned around and looked at Sengoku.

Sengoku paused for a moment, then slowly said, "I don't know either. The last message Rosinante sent was that we should follow the guidance of his Vivre Card to launch an attack."

Everyone could hear the tremor in his voice.

"Lord Im, this—"

Vochuli had no choice but to look up and wait for Im's decision.

Im hesitated for a moment, then suddenly spoke, "Fire."

Sengoku's body swayed visibly, and he closed his eyes, tears glistening in the corners.

Beside him, his old friend Garp sighed and patted him on the shoulder.

"I am fine."

Sengoku shook his head. "Rosinante, he died as a hero..."

Despite saying that, his trembling voice betrayed him.

There is no escape.

Rosinandi has nowhere to run.

But no matter how painful it was, Sengoku's attitude couldn't change anything.

The next instant, a dazzling beam of light suddenly shot out from the dense dark clouds.

A brilliant beam of light streaked across the sky, one kilometer, ten kilometers, one hundred kilometers—the sky had never felt so narrow, and in the blink of an eye, the beam had already swept from one side of the sky to the other.

Then, with extraordinary precision, the beam of light from afar struck the large ship floating in the sky.

boom!
The sun has risen.
