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

Roy removed his cloak, and with his Observation Haki detecting that no one was following him, he quickly left the neighborhood in a few leaps.

In Zone 13, Tesoro was hiding with Stella in an abandoned warehouse, panting heavily.

There was still blood on the corner of his mouth, so he must have been seriously injured.

"Boss...it should have succeeded, right...?"

Just then, the warehouse door was suddenly pushed open.

The two were so startled they almost screamed, but relaxed when they saw Roy enter.

"Boss!"

"Well, don't worry, I've shaken off the World Government's people, and I'm safe for now."

Without waiting for Tesoro's reply, he picked up a box and opened it casually.

Two strangely shaped demons lay side by side in the box.

One is entirely white, with a surface covered in feather-like patterns.

The other one was the Devil Fruit he had been longing for: the Paramecia-type Nen-Nen Fruit.

"Not bad luck." Roy's lips curled into a slight smile. "This white one should be a Zoan-type, right?"

As she spoke, she picked up the pink Nian Nian Fruit and took a bite.

"Snap!"

An extremely disgusting smell traveled through his taste buds to his brain, even more nauseating than the mixture of fermented herring and the essence of various kinds of garbage soaked in a stinking ditch.

"Ugh... Ugh."

Although it's said that you only need to eat one bite of a Devil Fruit, it's said that eating the whole fruit makes it easier to develop the Devil Fruit's power to awaken. Just to be on the safe side, it's better to eat the whole thing.

Close your eyes, stuff the remaining fruit pulp into your mouth, and swallow it whole.

After finishing his meal, Roy, who was lying on the ground, was about to ask Tesoro to get him some water so he could rinse his mouth first.

Before he could even speak, a powerful mental storm swept outwards from him, instantly blasting Tesoro and his companion who were nearby through the wall, leaving them sprawling on the lawn outside.

The people of District 13 felt as if their brains had been struck by something, their minds went blank, and they all turned to look around. The strong looked in Roy's direction with confusion.

In Roy's perception, his mental strength suddenly surged several times over, and the range of his Observation Haki also increased dramatically. Observation Haki, which used to only cover half an island, could now easily cover the entire island and extend forward to an unknown number of sea miles.

Opening his eyes and looking at everything around him, Tesoro, who had just been knocked away, slowly got up, clutching his head, and looked at Roy.

"Boss... just now..."

"Yes! It's a power I just acquired, but now is not the time to explain. Take Stella and leave here. Go to Shakky's bar and wait for me."

"Boss, aren't you coming with us?" Tesoro asked, puzzled.

"I'll go get some money first, since the deal with Xia Qi has already been agreed upon."

"No need, boss, we have enough money to complete the transaction."

As he spoke, Tesoro took out another box from a corner and opened it for Roy.

"Boss, I checked, there's a full 500 million Berries in here."

"Haha, well done, Tesoro!" Roy happily took the box.

"Let's set off now, complete the transaction, and then leave Sabaody."

==============

Meanwhile, at Marineford, the Naval Headquarters.

Inside the conference room, the current Fleet Admiral, Steelbone Kong, was discussing matters with high-ranking officers in the Navy.

"With Rocks' death, his crew members scattered and formed their own pirate crews, fighting for territory and making the situation in the New World even more chaotic."

"The Whitebeard Pirates have already occupied dozens of islands around Sphinx Island in the central New World."

"Meanwhile, Shiki the Golden Lion's Flying Pirates have already taken control of the first half of the New World, and their members are launching a frenzied attack on Marine bases, attempting to completely drive our Marines out of the New World."

Wang Zhi remained holed up on Beehive Island, Rocks' stronghold, while Charlotte Linlin, Kaido, and other members were all itching to make a move.

Looking at the report in their hands, the naval high command members frowned. Faced with such a chaotic situation, they had no good solutions.

Looking at his silent subordinates, Kong felt a deep headache and could only give orders in the face of the current situation.

"Let the navy withdraw most of its forces from the New World first, and ensure the stability of the first half of the Grand Line and the four seas."

Meanwhile, only two naval bases, G3 and G4, will be retained in the New World. Two admirals will be stationed there to monitor the movements of pirates in the New World.

"Yes."

Most of the commanders agreed, but some worried, "Will the large-scale withdrawal of the navy from the New World provoke the World Government's displeasure?"

"Hmph, if the World Government is dissatisfied, they should increase naval funding and support naval expansion. Currently, their military strength is insufficient; if there are any problems, I'll talk to them."

"Blue. Blue. Blue...."

"Click"

Just as they were discussing, the Den Den Mushi in Steel Bone's pocket rang. As soon as he answered, he heard an order from Satanic, one of the Five Elders, who represented the highest leader of the World Government among the Celestial Dragons.

"Steelbow Kong, a Celestial Dragon has been attacked on Sabaody Archipelago. Immediately dispatch an Admiral to arrest him and send him to the Holy Land. I will then send you the information."

The surrounding sailors, seeing the admiral's suddenly grim expression, knew that something big had happened.

After hanging up the phone, Kong looked at the solemn faces of the crowd and said seriously, "I just received orders from the Five Elders that someone attacked a Celestial Dragon in Sabaody Archipelago. The information will arrive shortly."

As soon as he finished speaking, a young marine pushed open the door and came in, carrying a stack of documents. He quickly distributed them and then stood to the side.

"Whoa!"

"There really are pirates who dare to attack Celestial Dragons near the Holy Land. But there are only two figures covered by cloaks. How can we know who they are?" a vice admiral wondered.

"Puhaha, this is really interesting. I've disliked the Celestial Dragons for a long time."

Upon seeing someone beat up a Celestial Dragon, Garp, now in his middle-aged form, burst into laughter.

Upon hearing Garp's voice, Kong, sitting in the first seat, had a dark expression on his face.

"Damn it, is this the time for Garp to talk like this? Since you're so happy about this mission, then you go and do it!"

"Who would protect trash like the Celestial Dragons? I still have to chase after Roger!"

Without waiting for Kong to speak again, he got up, put on his navy cloak, and led his men away.

The current admiral, Sengoku the Buddha, who was sitting to the right of Kong, was known as a wise general. Seeing his marshal about to erupt, he hurriedly tried to calm him down.

"Everyone knows that Garp is a heartless guy, after all, capturing the Roger Pirates is also an important matter."

"I'll take on this mission."

Seeing that Sengoku was about to give the order, Kong's expression softened.

"You'll be in charge of this mission. After the capture, hand the person over directly to the naval base on the island, where someone will take over."

"Yes"

Sengoku gave a military salute, then turned and left the meeting room.
