One Piece: Lord of Disaster.

Chapter 356 The Time of Devouring the World!

"Luffy?"

Roja, who had been nonchalant, suddenly turned around upon hearing this. "Judge, you mean Luffy?"

"Yes, that's right."

Judge was somewhat confused.

Is there anything wrong with this name?

According to the Calamity Knight's report, the boy looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old. When he was born, the Boss was still time-traveling, so there should have been no connection between them.

"Luffy……"

Roya muttered to himself for a moment, then a smile gradually spread across his face. He looked at Vegapunk with interest. "Hey, Dr. Vegapunk, isn't that kid's name Monkey D. Luffy?"

"Monkey? D?"

Golden Lion immediately frowned. "Garp's grandson?"

But how did Roya come to know Garp's grandson?

Besides, given Roya's incredibly arrogant personality, why would he care about a brat? Even if he's Garp's grandson!
"how do you know?"

Vegapunk asked the question almost instinctively.

Luffy has never appeared on the sea; he has only been training diligently with Zephyr. How did Roya know about him?

"It's true."

Luo Ya straightened up, amused. "Interesting. I thought he wouldn't have been born because of me!"

"So, the outcome still came to pass? Fate is truly fascinating!"

"Wait, Roya! Wait a minute!"

Katakuri was completely bewildered by Roya's words. "What exactly do you mean? What do you mean that Luffy won't be born because of you? What is this 'fate'?"

"Well, this is a long story."

Roya laughed and said, "In short, if it weren't for me, that kid would be the one Joy Boy has been waiting for. He would inherit the will passed down for eight hundred years, eat the Gum-Gum Fruit, awaken the Nika form, and then defeat Im to liberate this world."

"what?"

Everyone was stunned.

Im, the person involved, said anxiously, "Impossible! There is absolutely no one in the world who can defeat me except for the great Boss you!"

"Roya, are you serious?"

Kaido's eyes also revealed a hint of suspicion.

Even if Joy Boy really was waiting for someone to step forward, shoulder all the heavy history, defeat Im, and save the world, Roya's statement is a bit too idealistic.

Does that mean that without him, no one except that brat Luffy could defeat Im?

Roya glanced back at Kaido, then slowly sighed.

His eyes held a hint of sigh and pity.

"Hey, what do you mean by that?!"

Kaido felt offended by Roja's gaze.

"Well, whether you believe it or not, that's the story."

Luo Ya shrugged, then looked down. "However, there is something I'm very curious about."

"Dr. Vegapunk, can you tell me? What kind of Devil Fruit did that guy eat?"

Loki has already eaten the Gum-Gum Fruit, so what Devil Fruit did Luffy eat?

"Devil Fruit—"

Vegapunk paused, his face full of confusion. "I don't know."

really do not know.

Roya could tell, of course, that the guy wasn't lying.

"That's it,"

Roya turned around and looked at the Calamity Knights behind Judge. "What's up with that kid's abilities?"

The two Calamity Knights, who were battered and bruised from Luffy's attack, briefly explained to Roya the abilities Luffy had displayed during their fight.

then.

"What??"

Loki, who had been listening in the background the whole time, couldn't help but yell at the top of his lungs, "Isn't that the Devil Fruit that has been passed down through generations in Elbaf?!"

"That is to say,"

Charlotte Linlin scratched her face. "Is it one of the two Devil Fruits that Rocks was after?"

It is one of the Devil Fruits in this long history that deserves to be called a god!

"It was actually that fruit?"

Even Im was somewhat taken aback. "What's going on! I clearly kept that fruit safe and sound!"

"This,"

Roya looked up and glanced at Doflamingo. "It's probably because when Uranus was twisted, that fruit was accidentally pulled out and that kid picked it up."

"No way?"

Doflamingo suddenly felt his mouth go dry. "How could such a coincidence happen? That Devil Fruit... it's the legendary power that Davy Jones possessed!"

"That's why I said that kid is the destined savior."

"Fate is pushing him forward," Roya said with a smile.

"destiny--"

Even the golden lion felt a chill run down its back at this moment.

Does it really exist?
The power of fate.

"Hahahahaha!"

Luo Ya suddenly burst into laughter.

How interesting!

I originally thought that there were no more heroes to save the world, and that the war between myself and the two demon kings, Im, was the final battle. After all, all that was left were Shanks and the others, insignificant stray dogs on the roadside.

But, unbeknownst to me, the hero was growing silently. Was this also an arrangement of fate?

So, Luffy, will you, like Elbaf in the ancient times and Joy Boy eight hundred years ago, bear the hopes of the whole world and finally stand before me?

If that day ever comes, it will be really interesting, right?
"Go find it."

Roya said, "Find that kid."

If someone is easily found and killed, it means they are not someone favored by fate.

But if not, haha...

"Yes!"

Time goes back to earlier times.

High in the sky, some distance from the battlefield, the pitch-black dragon gradually calmed down.

But it still let out a low growl like a warning hound, as if still warning the terrifying enemy in the distant sky not to come near.

On the back of the black dragon, two men were deathly pale.

Dragon stared blankly at the Den Den Mushi in his hand.

The connection to the Den Den Mushi had already been disconnected, and now it was just emitting a meaningless dial tone.

Shanks, standing next to Dragon, managed to speak with difficulty, "So, was that Roja just now?"

Mr. Zephyr said that Roya has become so strong that even Im can't compare. Is that the kind of creepy feeling we just experienced?
"..."

Dorrag remained silent, though the muscles in his face twitched slightly.

After a long silence, he finally spoke with a heavy heart, "If nothing unexpected happens, Im should have already been defeated by Roya." "..."

Shanks raised his hand and rubbed his face. "It's unimaginable what kind of monster Roya is!"

This time, the World Government seized the opportunity to launch a surprise attack!

And there's also the Heavenly King!
Although the energy source is only a semi-finished product and cannot be used for a long time, at least in terms of explosive power, it is no different from the Heavenly King of eight hundred years ago!

But, but, even so, did Roja still win?

Has the reign of Im, who ruled the world for eight hundred years, come to an end?
"This is the worst possible situation!"

Shanks felt as if there were razor blades stuck in his throat, and every word he spoke caused his throat to ache.

"With the World Government's defeat, Uranus will likely fall into Roa's hands, and he will take over all of Joy Boy's legacy."

"even,"

Shanks paused for a moment, "Just as Mr. Zephyr said, that monster Roya's power is far greater than even Im's!"

Even Davy Jones, who once controlled the Dragon of the End, was defeated when facing Joy Boy, who possessed three Ancient Weapons.

But the situation they face now is much worse than that of David Jones back then.

Because they are far from having the strength of Davy Jones, while Roya's strength should already be even greater than Joy Boy's!
How to do?
In that case, there's absolutely no chance of winning.

Are you scared, Shanks?

Dorrag began to speak slowly.

"To be honest,"

Shanks gave a wry smile. "There probably isn't anyone in this world who can be at peace with Roya while being his enemy, right?"

"but,"

The man paused, his red hair suddenly flying in the wind. "It's just us now!"

"Even the World Government has been defeated. Now, we are the only ones in the world who will still be enemies with Roja!"

"Although the chances are slim, only we have a chance of defeating him!"

Let alone ordinary people, even powerful figures like Rocks or Captain Roger, who stood at the pinnacle of their era, wouldn't even have the qualifications to challenge Roya.

Only they, only those who have mastered the Dragon of the End, have a chance to fight Roya.

"Yes."

Dragon clenched his fists as well. "If even we give up, then no one can save this world!"

If the World Government has already been defeated by Roja, then Whitebeard is dead, Mr. Zephyr is dead, and even Luffy—

but.

It's not over yet!

This absolutely cannot end like this!
We absolutely cannot hand this world over to that madman, Roya, like this!

"hold head high!!"

Just then, the black dragon of the end suddenly roared and flapped its wings, flying abruptly forward.

Its speed was so great that Shanks and Dragon, who were on its back, were almost thrown off.

Even Shanks had to grab Nidhogg's scales to maintain his balance at this moment.

"Nidhogg!"

The red-haired man couldn't help but panic, "What's wrong with you!"

This direction is the direction of the battlefield!
If he were to appear before Roya now, it would be a huge problem!
Nidhogg is not fully developed yet; if he were to encounter Roja, who wields an Ancient Weapon, at this point—

However, the Dragon of the End seems to have gone mad and is not listening to Shanks at all, just flying forward with all its might.

Shanks and Dragon, atop the black dragon, exchanged a glance, both seeing unspeakable terror in each other's eyes.

We absolutely cannot meet with Roya now!
However, they cannot abandon Nidhogg and run away. Nidhogg is their last trump card. If they lose even it, there will be no chance of winning at all!
Fortunately, Nidhogg's madness didn't last long.

Soon, the black dragon's speed dropped sharply.

"hold head high!"

It roared excitedly toward the sky ahead.

"what?"

Shanks was stunned for a moment.

He detected a hint of joy in Nidhogg's cry.

what happened?

What exactly happened to it?
"Shanks! Look!"

Dorrag suddenly pointed to the distant sky, somewhat surprised.

"Ok?"

Shanks suddenly looked up.

In the distance, a spherical aircraft was hurtling through the sky at an astonishing speed.

"what is that?"

The time came later.

On the city of natural disaster.

"Hahahahaha!"

Morgans laughed almost maniacally, "Quickly! Quickly, go tell the world!"

"A new king has been born!!"

"This world has a new master! Tell everyone to prepare to kneel in worship!"

Just as the world's number one paparazzi was preparing to tell the world this earth-shattering news, there were others who had already taken action.

In the North Sea, the West Sea, and the New World, aerospace warships have begun to activate and are converging on the direction of the City of Calamity.

The next step is a war to unify the world.

The space battleships will rendezvous with headquarters, then pick up the officers of the pirate alliance, and finally disperse to cross the Red Line to the other half of the world.

Without the interference of the World Government, this time it should be quite easy.

Then, Morgans' press release was finally written and sent to branches around the world via Den Den Mushi as soon as possible.

Naturally, the first people to learn of this news were stunned, and gasps of surprise echoed throughout the world.

Then, these journalists, who were almost in line with Morgans, eagerly began printing newspapers.

So, at the first moment, the white news birds of the World Economic News Agency took flight, unleashing a white blizzard of newspapers across the world.

Newsbirds will visit any island inhabited by humans.

Without paying any money, the World Economic News Agency, backed by funds from a natural disaster relief company, generously distributes newspapers to people all over the world for free.

However, to be honest, starting to distribute newspapers now is not good news.

After all, the whole world is currently in the midst of a huge disaster.

Although the sea monsters' attacks have stopped, the aftereffects they caused will not be resolved in a short time.

Almost everyone in the world is now like a frightened bird, fearing that the end of the world is just around the corner.

Therefore, even when faced with a flurry of falling newspapers, many people had no intention of picking them up.

But there are always curious people in the world.

The moment the first person picked up the newspaper, the world entered a completely new era.

"The world government has been defeated!!!"

Thirty-six years ago, after the God Valley incident, the collapse of the Rocks Pirates led people to believe that the world would usher in an unprecedented period of peace.

But it was only at this moment that people realized that the real monster had begun to gradually devour the world from that time onwards!
