One Piece: Lord of Disaster.

Chapter 352 I am the calamity!

evolution?

Im was momentarily taken aback.

What is this guy talking about now?
What evolution?
Im had no idea what Roya was saying.

But she could realize that Roya meant he could become even stronger!

What a joke!
Having already reached this point, how could it possibly become even stronger?

"Roya!! Whatever you want to do, don't even think about it!!"

Although he couldn't understand what Roya was trying to do, Im knew that he absolutely couldn't let him succeed now!
The enormous demon flapped its wings and came crashing down with its jet-black trident like thunder.

"It's a pity, Im,"

Roya took a deep breath. "It's not me that's evolving, it's this world!"

"It is because this world has evolved to a new stage that I am able to show a more advanced attitude!"

He no longer suppressed the surging power deep within his body, and so—

dong dong!

Roya felt a strange rhythm.

Just like I felt when I first traveled to this world more than two years ago, evolution began.

Moreover, this time is different from the last time; this evolution will be much faster.

Because the world is just so wonderful now.

The dark energy in this world has become so dense that not only can Roya complete its evolution, but it can also complete its evolution very quickly.

All of this is thanks to Princess Shirahoshi.

Time goes back to earlier times.

East Sea, Goa Kingdom.

Although it's clear to everyone that the world situation is on the verge of exploding, and a war that will sweep the entire world will break out between the World Government and the Pirate Alliance sooner or later.

But despite the worries, life still goes on as normal.

Whether it's the World Government or the Pirate Alliance, they are still too far away for ordinary people living in this country.

People just quietly went about their lives.

Until this day.

At first, it was just an unusually deep black patch on the sea surface, gleaming with an ominous, oily sheen in the sunlight.

The dockworkers carrying goods, the fishmongers hawking their wares, and the old man mending fishing nets all subconsciously stopped what they were doing and looked in confusion at the rapidly expanding shadow.

"What...is that?" someone murmured to themselves.

The answer was quickly revealed.

That wasn't a shadow; it was the back of some living thing, so enormous that it defied common sense.

Immediately afterwards, an indescribably enormous head broke through the sea surface, sending up a spray of water that rose into the sky, and slowly rose up like a small mountain.

Its serpentine body is covered with dark, scale-like skin, and a pair of huge, cold, cruel, and emotionless eyes, like two deep pools, indifferently overlook the entire harbor.

Time seemed to freeze for a moment.

"Sea...Sea Kings—!!!"

A piercing, distorted scream shattered the brief silence and ignited the deepest fear in everyone's hearts.

Panic erupted instantly, spreading like a plague to every corner of the port.

People dropped everything they were holding and fled, crying and shouting like headless flies.

The cries of children, the screams of women, and the roars of men mingled together, creating a symphony of despair.

Completely ignoring the cries and despair of the people, this sea king, resembling a giant serpent, suddenly raised its long neck and, with immense force, slammed it down into the harbor.

This sea monster is considered enormous among all deep-sea behemoths, measuring over a thousand meters in length.

So it simply crashed its body onto the port, causing utter destruction.

The port was smashed to pieces in an instant, and the shock even shook the nearby city.

It wasn't over yet; one after another, sea kings emerged from the seas surrounding the country.

These monsters seemed to have gone mad, crashing headfirst into the island's bedrock.

In an instant, the entire Kingdom of Goa began to tremble violently.

Whether commoners or nobles, everyone was terrified and ran away in panic.

"What on earth is going on?! Have all these sea kings gone mad?!"

"It's Roya! It's that monster! Only he can control the Sea Kings, that monster wants to destroy this country!!"

Despair began to spread across the entire island.

The Kingdom of Goa is not an exception.

All inhabited islands around the world have been attacked by sea monsters.

Even in the Red Line continent, where similar events had occurred, the people living in the West Sea, North Sea, and New World were equally terrified.

This time, the sea kings truly launched an attack on the island they lived on.

It should be said that the whole world has fallen into despair.

Those with even a little knowledge screamed in terror, "Roya! That monster is going to destroy the world!"

Therefore, amidst everyone's despair and fear, the concentration of black gas worldwide is increasing at an astonishing rate.

Before the battle even officially begins, Roya could already start evolving.

But in order to make things more interesting, he forcibly suppressed this urge to evolve.

Only after confirming that Im was indeed dead did Roya decide to begin his second evolution and finally settle all grudges with the World Government.

And now, the second evolution is underway!
A little earlier, before Roya began to evolve.

The interior of the Heavenly King.

"Hahaha! Those two guys are amazing!"

Luffy, carrying Lilith, raced through the twisted tunnel, laughing heartily with a triumphant smile on his face. "If I don't eat that fruit, I really can't beat them!"

The woman he was carrying on his shoulder looked at the boy's profile with some surprise. "Luffy, where did you get that fruit?! It's not listed in any Devil Fruit encyclopedia I've ever seen!"

"Found it!"

The boy answered with a grin, his face beaming with pride.

"Found it??"

Lilith, one of Vegapunk's clones and a symbol of evil, couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth.

Was such a powerful Devil Fruit simply found out?

But never mind, now is not the time to worry about these things!
"Luffy! The pursuers will keep coming! It's too dangerous to stay here any longer!"

Lilith shouted, "We need to get out of here right now!"

"Huh? Are we going to run away?"

Luffy was shocked, then immediately refused, "No way! I'm going to help Uncle Zephyr and Grandpa and the others!"

"Don't talk nonsense! This is not a war we can interfere in! The final outcome can only be decided by Im and Roya!"

Lilith raised her hand and gave the boy a hard knock on the head. "Besides, we're not leaving immediately, we're just temporarily withdrawing!"

"If the World Government wins in the end, we can come back!"

"I do not want it!"

The boy refused without hesitation, "I'm not a deserter!"

They actually called him a deserter!

Lilith was so angry she wanted to grind her teeth.

However, she has no better option now.

Besides her, the main body and her other clones were all captured by that bastard Judge.

She must escape!

But it wasn't enough for her to escape on her own. If Im was defeated, she would need someone to protect her.

Given the current situation, it can only be this brat in front of me.

"That's it,"

Lilith's eyes suddenly lit up. "I understand. I'll take you to the elevator that leads to the top deck!"

"Really? You're so kind, Lilith!!"

Young Luffy was overjoyed.

"Alright! From now on, you'll follow my orders!"

"Yes!"

So the boy, carrying Lilith, began to run wildly inside the twisted ship.

Lilith guided him to a certain area.

However, the current situation here immediately made Lilith frown. "They've been severely corrupted by the power of the Fusion Fruit!" But, should we say that fate is on their side?
Lilith spotted a perfectly intact spherical device in the corner.

"That's it! Luffy! Let's go in!"

"Oh! Is that the elevator? I understand!"

The boy rushed to the device like a gust of wind, pulled open the door, and ran inside.

Then, Lilith jumped off his shoulder and slammed her hand heavily on the control panel next to her.

Click.

That's the sound of the door closing.

Then, a sudden feeling of weightlessness came over me.

"Eh!!"

Amidst the boy's screams, the spherical device suddenly plummeted into the large hole that had suddenly opened below.

Then, it fell directly down from the passage below the Heavenly King.

Time returns to the present.

High above in the sky.

Imna crashed down with a deafening roar, the trident seemingly tearing the heavens and earth apart, and was already inches away from Roya's body.

Luo Ya tilted his head back.

Whether he dodges or retaliates, it's all easy for him.

While Im in his full form is powerful, he is only on par with him.

Of course, this refers to him before this evolution.

And now——

Luo Ya raised the corner of his mouth.

laugh! !

The massive trident cleaved Roya's body in two.

Just like how Roya had cleaved Im's body in two with a single strike, Im is now retaliating in kind.

"Hahaha! And you still talk about evolution!"

The great demon laughed wildly, "Roya, your future is only death!"

No matter how powerful Roya is, he's not immortal like me!
Die, Roya! Just die like this!!
Roya's two halves of his body flew in two different directions.

Im raised his hands, and two more jet-black beams of light followed, obliterating both halves of Roya's body.

Luo Ya had just blasted her body into a pile of minced meat, and now she was giving it back.

just.

call--

A gust of wind blew from high above, and in that instant, Royana's shattered body turned to ashes.

Do not!
It didn't turn to ash, it turned into black air currents!

The two streams of air mixed together, forming a black cloud of smoke.

"what?"

Im suddenly widened his eyes.

what happened?

Elementalize?
"How amazing!"

A faint voice came from all directions, "I seem to be omnipotent now."

"Roya! Get out here, Mu!!"

Im slashed horizontally with his trident in a fit of rage.

The trident, imbued with a powerful dual-colored aura, tore a sharp crescent-shaped arc through the air, unleashing a massive slash that ripped the sky apart.

However, the attack hit nothing.

Even though the massive trident had already swept through the black mist, it still hadn't touched anything.

Im's pupils suddenly contracted, and he slashed several more times, but he couldn't even touch a hair on Roya's head.

Isn't it supposed to be elementalization? Why is my domineering aura not working?
"It's no use,"

From within the black smoke came Roya's cheerful voice, "My evolution is complete. For me, there will be no more obstacles in this world."

"..."

Im remained silent, simply unleashing a variety of attacks on his own.

She summoned all sorts of weapons and bombarded the smoke cloud that Roya had transformed into.

If the weapons were ineffective, then the pentagram magic circle would bloom, and various light waves would bombard the area repeatedly.

But, not only did it manage to bring out Roya's true form, the black smoke wasn't even disturbed in the slightest!
It was as if the two sides existed in two completely different spaces, and any attack was completely ineffective!

"How can it be!!"

Im was practically gritting his teeth.

None of my moves work on this guy!!!

How could this happen!!

What exactly is this guy's ability?

"Have you had enough fun?"

Black smoke began to slowly gather, condensing into the shape of Roya.

This time it was neither beast form nor beastman form, but simply Roja's original appearance.

He did nothing, yet he floated calmly in the sky, completely ignoring the laws of physics.

"Roya! You're finally out!!"

The trident once again pierced through the air.

Roya's body was cleaved in two again.

Then, the lower body transformed back into black smoke and coalesced into a new shape.
Amidst Im's bloodshot eyes, Roya smiled and spread his hands, "There is nothing in this world that can hurt me anymore, just as people cannot erase the concept of disaster."

"What exactly are you?!"

Im almost screamed.

All attacks were completely ineffective against Roya!

How can someone be so shameless?!

"me?"

Roya smiled. "I am the calamity."

Disaster?

Before Im could react, he suddenly saw the air behind Roya begin to distort.

Something invisible is converging on Roya!

Near Roya, something intangible and formless began to coalesce, and Im finally saw it clearly.

It was a black cloud!
An endless stream of black energy was continuously pouring into Roya's body!
what?
what is that?
What are those black streams of energy? Where did they come from? And why did they enter Roya's body?

"Ooh!"

Roya let out a comfortable sigh, "Now, I'm invincible! Hmm, will an enemy come from the sky?"

"Roya! Stop playing tricks!"

Im's tone carried a strange madness, "You can't beat Im! Im is the ruler of this world!"

"I think you don't understand at all."

Luo Ya raised the corners of his mouth. "Alright, I just showed you the mechanism, now let me show you the difference in numbers."

As he spoke, his eyes suddenly narrowed.

hum! ! !
A dense, dark black aura surged from Roya's body, transforming into a jet-black pillar of light that pierced through the sky in an instant!
The jet-black beam of light shot all the way to the deepest part of the sky, even breaking through the atmosphere and plunging into the deep space of the universe!
The entire sky began to shake violently.

It was as if Teach was unleashing the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit with all his might that a series of crisp, glass-like sounds rang out from all over the sky, and the air in most of the sky began to shatter, spreading out spiderweb-like cracks.

Below, the massive Heavenly King began to tremble continuously. Its hull, which was so sturdy that even top-tier experts could hardly damage it, was now on the verge of collapsing at any moment.

Further down, the violently churning sea even began to boil, with large plumes of white smoke rising up, and the creatures in the sea were instantly crushed into pieces of minced meat.

"Forehead!!"

Suddenly, streaks of jet-black lightning burst forth from all over Im's body, and his hideous and twisted demonic form began to tremble violently.

Im felt as if she had been struck hard by a sledgehammer, her head throbbing and her vision blurred, making it almost impossible for her to think.

At that moment, she had only one thought.

This is,

Overlord color?
This domineering color?!
