The Ark Proverb slowly sailed into Crystal Isle's only port.

The harbor was filled with all sorts of ships, among which several flying pirate flags stood out.

"Moria and Doflamingo?"

"These two guys are here too? Looks like this is going to be interesting."

Barrett also recognized the flags belonging to the two men.

Besides these two "Shichibukai" from the original work (the Shichibukai system had not yet been established at this time, but they were already famous pirates), there were two other pirate ships flying unfamiliar Supernova flags.

The moment Roy and his crew's Ark Maxim appeared, it immediately drew the attention of everyone in the port. Such a unique and luxurious ship was impossible to ignore.

Many eyes held curiosity, greed, and deep apprehension—those who could pilot such a ship through the New World were no ordinary people.

Roy and his group disembarked one after another.

Although Roy, Barrett, Hawkeye, and Tesoro were not fully recovered from their injuries, the oppressive aura they inadvertently exuded still made some of the onlookers around feel uneasy.

Stella, Savi, Enel, Pea, and Charon followed closely behind.

"Boss! Where are we going now?" Tesoro asked.

"Let's go to the tavern first; they have the best information there," Roy said with a mysterious smile.

"Besides, those supernovas are all there, so it's a good opportunity to join in the fun."

After Roy finished speaking, he led the way forward.

The town's buildings are mostly made of local stone and decorated with crystal, gleaming in the sunlight, and the streets are bustling with people.

However, a closer look reveals that many pirates and guards carrying weapons are mixed in with the pedestrians, and an invisible tension permeates the air.

Using their Observation Haki, Roy and the others quickly found what appeared to be the largest tavern – "Rainbow Coral".

Pushing open the door, a wave of noise hit me.

The tavern is a melting pot of all sorts of people: pirates, merchants, adventurers, local residents...

The most eye-catching are the pirate supernovas located in the four directions.

The arrival of Roy and his group brought a moment of silence to the previously noisy tavern.

Countless gazes were focused on them, filled with curiosity, apprehension, and a hint of barely perceptible hostility.

The powerful aura emanating from Roy and his companions, even when concealed, was completely out of place in this chaotic environment.

Ignoring the stares, Roy walked straight to a round table in a relatively empty corner.

Barrett casually pulled out a chair and sat down, while Hawkeye chose a spot with a panoramic view.

Stella, Tezzolo, and others then took their seats in turn.

"Boss, bring me some of your specialty drinks and food."

Tetezoro snapped his fingers, and a golden peli traced a graceful arc in the air before landing precisely in the hand of the bartender behind the counter.

The bald, burly boss, after catching Pelé, immediately plastered a fawning smile on his face.

"Alright! Please wait a moment, distinguished guests, we'll be right there!"

As Roy and his companions took their seats, the noise in the tavern gradually subsided, but whispers began to circulate among them.

"Who are they? That golden ship is too conspicuous!"

"I don't know him, but he seems like someone I don't want to mess with..."

"Hey! Don't stare at them! They're Roy's gang, the 'Heavenly Path' group, who had a 1 billion bounty on their heads by the Navy a few months ago. They're not simple guys!"

"Wow! No way, such an important person actually showed up here!"

Shh! Keep your voice down so they don't hear you!

Roy's Observation Haki quietly enveloped the entire tavern, taking in all the discussions while also scanning several corners of the tavern with his gaze.

In the northeast corner of the tavern, Gecko Moria, whom he had met briefly in the Sabaody Archipelago, was drinking heavily and chatting with his companions.

He kept letting out strange "hehehehe" laughs, completely unaware of the unusual events that had just occurred in the tavern.

Meanwhile, the Don Quixote members in the southwest corner of the tavern tensed up the moment Roy entered.

"Hey~ Dover! It's those guys from six months ago!"

Trebol leaned close to Doflamingo's ear and whispered something, completely unaware that...

At this moment, Doflamingo's forehead veins began to bulge, and the threads on his hands throbbed.

His eyes, hidden behind sunglasses, were fixed on Roy and the others.

Diamanti and Pica both gripped their weapons tightly.

Sensing Doflamingo's gaze, Roy immediately turned his head, waved his finger in front of him, and looked amused.

Seeing Roy's playful and provocative gesture, Doflamingo's temple veins throbbed even more, and his Conqueror's Haki seemed to be slipping out of control.

"Fr fr fr fr..."

A low laugh escaped Doflamingo's throat, laced with suppressed rage.

"What a small world, Roy."

The crushing defeat in Mogu Town six months ago was still fresh in his memory.

After enduring the mental torment of Roy and obtaining the method for cultivating domineering power,

Doflamingo also passed on his Haki training methods to his family. After six months of arduous training,

Doflamingo is far more powerful than he was at the same stage in the original work.

"Dover, shall we make our move?"

Diamanti asked in a low voice, his hand on the hilt of the sword tightening slightly.

Doflamingo took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. Reason told him that they were no match for Roy and the others at the moment.

"No rush..."

Doflamingo tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

"Our goal is that fruit. Before we get it, let's not complicate things. Let others test Roy and his group first, and we'll observe the situation."

How could Roy's perception escape Doflamingo and Diamante's notice?

"So it's a Devil Fruit!" Roy thought to himself.

Seeing that they didn't make any move, Roy withdrew his gaze and instead looked at the other two groups of people in the tavern.

One group consisted of burly men, as large as bears, with dark skin, and carrying enormous double-edged battle axes on their backs.

He sat alone at a table, drinking silently, his eyes fierce; he was none other than this year's supernova, "The Axe" Doc.

The other group consisted of a glamorous woman dressed in sexy leather armor, with a hot figure and a touch of eerie green light playing with her fingertips. She was accompanied by several subordinates with fanatical eyes. She was the supernova "Poison Queen" Vera.

As Roy was sizing up the "Poison Queen," the supernova seemed to sense something and turned her head, meeting Roy's gaze.

She was slightly taken aback at first, but instead of avoiding Roy's gaze, she curled her lips and blew Roy a kiss.

As the "Poison Queen" moved, an invisible toxic gas drifted towards Roy.

But Roy's Observation Haki was so sharp that he instantly detected the subtle energy fluctuations in the air.

A slight smile played on his lips, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

Her mental energy quietly unfolded, enveloping the poisonous gas and sending it back to her side.

Vera's eyes flashed with surprise upon seeing this, but she quickly regained her charming smile, seemingly unsurprised that Roy could easily defuse her probing.

Just then, the tavern door was suddenly pushed open, and a disheveled figure rushed in.

After looking around the tavern, he finally came to "Giant Axe" Doc, who was alone.
