One Piece: The user of the Nen-Nen Fruit, who overturned the sea.

Although the brief sparring session on the training field has ended,

But the image of Barrett transforming into a behemoth tens of thousands of meters tall is etched into everyone's mind like a brand.

That evening, the intelligence room on Beehive Island was packed with core members.

"Investigate this for me!"

List all known Devil Fruit users, regardless of their type!

Savi slammed his hand on the intelligence officer's desk, nearly denting the steel surface.

The intelligence officer, a tall, thin man wearing glasses, was so startled by the slap that he almost fell off his chair.

He frantically pulled up the list of ability users in the database.

"Are there any more specific requirements?" the intelligence officer asked cautiously.

"Zoan type! Preferably Mythical Zoan, something that can synergize with the Strength-Strength Fruit!"

Bages squeezed past Savi from behind, his rugged face filled with urgency.

Having just tasted the sweetness of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, his desire for the third fruit was stronger than anyone else's.

"Do you have any dark-type abilities that can be paired with the Shadow-Shadow Fruit?" Moria leaned against the doorway, his shadow churning restlessly at his feet.

"I want a Superman type!"

"I want a Logia-type Devil Fruit!"

Yamato, Enel, Charon, Kaku, and others all spoke up.

The intelligence officer looked at the core cadres of Beehive Island in front of him, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.

Any one of these people could turn the new world upside down.

Now everyone's crammed into his intelligence room, there's hardly any air left.

"Gentlemen, there's too much information in the database; I need time to organize it—"

"Then hurry up!" several people shouted in unison.

The intelligence officer felt he might suddenly die in this intelligence room today.

Meanwhile, at the port of Beehive Island.

Trafalgar Law stood on the deck of his submarine, Ghost Cry on his shoulder, the sea breeze making his coat flutter.

His crew had all boarded the ship, and Bepo was waving towards the harbor from the gunwale—

Although he wasn't sure who he was waving to, he was waving very enthusiastically.

"Captain, are we leaving now?"

"I haven't even had a chance to go to Fishman Street to eat Sea King barbecue yet!" Bepo looked aggrieved.

"I'll eat it next time."

Luo's tone was indifferent, but Bepo could tell that his captain was in a good mood.

After undergoing a heart transplant, Luo's physical condition improved slightly.

With three hearts beating alternately in the chest cavity, the blood flow rate was nearly twice as fast as before, resulting in a significant improvement in physical strength and recovery ability.

With Roy's consent, the crew members underwent bloodline transplants on Beehive Island, resulting in a significant increase in their strength.

More importantly—he can now eat a second Devil Fruit.

However, Luo was not in a hurry.

He was already very adept at using the Op-Op Fruit's abilities, so the second fruit he needed had to be one that could perfectly complement it; better to have none than one that was subpar.

"Luo."

A voice came from the dock.

Luo turned his head and saw Luo Yi walking down the pier, wearing a simple black trench coat.

With her hair hanging from her waist, she looked as casual as if she were going out for a stroll.

"Roy is in charge."

Luo nodded slightly.

"Are you sure you want to come with me?"

"Anyway, there's nothing much going on on the island."

Roy stepped onto the submarine's deck and casually waved to Bepo and the others as a greeting.

"Stella will handle the daily affairs; Barrett and the others are all spending their time in the intelligence room picking out the best opportunities."

The island is very quiet. Perfect timing to go out for a stroll.

Luo glanced at him but didn't ask any further questions.

He knew Roy wasn't the type to go out for no reason; there must be a reason why he said he wanted to "go out for a walk."

But since Roy didn't say anything, he wouldn't press him.

"Let's go."

The submarine slowly sank, seawater washed over the portholes, and the lights in the harbor gradually blurred in the ripples.

Bepo skillfully maneuvered the rudder in the cockpit, while Pekin and the charter confirmed the course. The crew members of the Heart Pirates performed their duties in an orderly manner.

Inside the cabin, Roy leaned against a cot, closing his eyes to rest.

Punk Hazard.

He silently repeated the name in his mind.

There were a few things he wanted on that island.

Momonosuke—the Kozuki family brat who was sent twenty years into the future by Toki Amagi using the Time-Time Fruit.

If he remembers the timeline correctly, he should be in the abandoned laboratory of Punk Hazard right now.

There's also the Azure Dragon Fruit that Vegapunk copied, which, although the color was wrong, was considered a failure by Vegapunk himself.

But in Roy's opinion, apart from its unappealing color, that fruit was almost perfect in terms of ability, comparable to Kaido's Blue Dragon Fruit.

Of course, the most important thing is—Luffy.

According to the original timeline, the Straw Hat crew's first stop after completing their two-year training was Punk Hazard.

There they will meet Kin'emon, Law, Caesar, and form a grudge against Doflamingo, before fighting their way to Dressrosa.

Ultimately, this led to the war that changed the world order, which took place in the land of ten thousand nations and the land of harmony.

Roy needs Luffy to awaken.

The Nika Fruit—or rather, the true form of the Gum-Gum Fruit—is the key to defeating Im.

That mysterious being who has sat on the Void Throne for eight hundred years, a figure to whom even the Five Elders bow down, is someone Roy could not be too cautious about.

With Luffy, the chosen one, leading the charge, Roy's plan to conquer the world will be much smoother.

The submarine sailed smoothly underwater for three days.

For the past three days, Roy has spent most of his time resting in his cabin, occasionally exchanging a few words with Roy.

The conversation covered a wide range of topics, including the development of the Op-Op Fruit's abilities, the distribution of Doflamingo's influence, and the recent situation in the New World.

"That Doflamingo guy seems to have gotten in touch with the World Government again recently."

Luo leaned against the bulkhead, his fingers lightly tapping on the scabbard of the Ghost Cry sword.

"His experimental base in Punk Hazard was ostensibly producing poison gas weapons, but in reality, he was developing artificial Devil Fruits."

"The SMILE factory," Roy casually replied.

Luo glanced at him, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: "You knew?"

"Everyone in the New World knows about Doflamingo's little tricks."

Roy's tone was flat.

"Kaido wants an artificial Devil Fruit army, and Doflamingo can provide the raw materials. The two are birds of a feather."

However, the inventions produced by Caesar, that mediocre scientist, had too many obvious flaws—

It can only create Zoan-type creatures, and the failure rate is extremely high. Anyone who eats a failed product will become a useless person who can only smile.

"You plan to destroy that factory?" Luo asked.

That's your problem.

Roy opened his eyes, a slight smile appearing on his lips.

"Haven't you always wanted to cause trouble for Doflamingo?"

Punk Hazard is one of his biggest sources of funding.

"If you blow it up, Doflamingo will be so heartbroken he won't be able to sleep."

Luo was silent for a moment, then smiled. It was a faint smile, but it was definitely a smile.

"Hey Roy, sometimes you really don't act like a pirate."

"Then what do I look like?"

"Like a chess player."

Roy chuckled awkwardly, without denying it.
