Land of Love and Passion Toys
Lightning flashed and thunder roared, a fierce storm raged, and the sea sounded its angry horn, displaying its destructive power.
However, the sea near the Ark Maxim remained calm and undisturbed, as if isolated from the world, completely unaffected by the harsh climate of the New World.
"The weather in the latter half of the Grand Line is extremely bad. Most pirates who venture into the New World don't even have time to make their own voice before they are silently swallowed up by the waves of the sea." Crocodile the Sand squinted his narrow eyes and said, recalling the bitter past, "When I first came to the New World, I was also caught off guard and almost ended up with my ship destroyed and me dead."
"Even the power of nature has to grovel before the captain. Isn't the power of this domain a bit too overwhelming?" Harvey, witnessing such a scene for the first time, could hardly contain his shock, but then he was also somewhat worried. "However, is it really okay for us to just watch calmly? Such an ability must be quite a burden for the captain."
"You underestimate the captain's power. In extreme cases, the captain's domain can cover an entire island. As for him, simply setting up a domain around the hull is a piece of cake," Jin said leisurely.
"Captain, the island ahead has become a tiny black dot. It should be our destination, Dressrosa, the Land of Love and Passion Toys." Reiju's eyes sparkled with a captivating light. For many pirates who yearn for a better life, Dressrosa is undoubtedly a place of great renown.
"Are we almost there?" Upon hearing this, the figure shrouded in thunder trembled slightly. The sea of thunder instantly shattered, and electric snakes danced and darted about, revealing Roy's bronze upper body, which was filled with explosive power.
"Hmm, what a beautiful day!" A pirate stretched lazily, feeling that his mind and will had been completely corrupted by this beautiful country.
As pirates, they can enjoy the highest level of comfort in this country. Besides the unique characteristics of Dressrosa, the key reason is that they bear the name of Donquixote, and their captain is the king of this country.
"Ronald, if you keep going like this, you'll be expelled from the Donquixote Family sooner or later. Our young master will never allow any useless members in the family, even if we are just the lowest-ranking members," another pirate warned solemnly.
"Balo, relax, this is a land of love and passion!" Ronald calmly turned his head to reply, but his body continued to move forward without stopping, completely unaware of the shock in his companion's eyes.
Bang!
As if he had crashed into a wall made of cast steel, Ronald was knocked to the ground.
"Damn it, isn't this the center of the street?" Ronald rubbed his slightly dizzy head and cursed, "Which jerk with no manners put up a wall here?"
"Hey, little guy, are you alright?" A thunderous voice exploded in Ronald's ears.
Ronald looked up and saw a terrifyingly large face pressed against him, its enormous mouth opening and closing as if it were about to devour him. This startled him, and he instantly regained his senses.
"Hey? You look so energetic, you must be alright now, right? In that case, I'll go buy some wine." Brogy scratched the back of his head and gave a good-natured smile.
Ronald then realized that many citizens had gathered there, drawn by the giant's size.
"Phew, I was scared to death," Ronald said, wiping the sweat from his forehead, as if he had just escaped a close call.
As a member of the Donquixote Family, he naturally knew that any adult giant was a powerful force, at least comparable to a pirate with a bounty of over 100 million, far beyond the reach of a nobody like him. Therefore, he had no intention of settling scores with the other party.
"However, it's really strange that such a rare giant has appeared in Dressrosa," Ronald said casually, trying to cover up his earlier embarrassment.
Ronald waited a while but found that Balo ignored him completely, still staring blankly at the giant's terrifying figure. "Hey, what's wrong with you? I don't remember you being a warrior who yearns for Elbaf."
"Idiot, when you see this big guy here, don't you realize what's going on?" Balo said, exasperated.
"What happened?" Ronald joked nonchalantly. "Could it be that the Giants of Elbaf are going to attack our Dressrosa?"
Balo's lips twitched speechlessly; this guy seemed utterly hopeless.
"The other party is Senior Executive under the Phantom Sword Pirates, the Red Ogre Brogy who had a bounty of 100 million a hundred years ago." Balo's tone was serious. The Donquixote Family listed the Phantom Sword Pirates as a key target for observation, requiring them to know every information about each Senior Executive. Only an incompetent good-for-nothing like Ronald would not recognize him.
"What? It's actually Senior Executive under Nightmare, Shichibukai of the Sea who is on par with the young master?" Ronald couldn't help but swallow hard. Even someone like him who just coasted along could understand the meaning behind the word Nightmare.
"Wait, if Nightmare's Senior Executive have appeared in Dressrosa, doesn't that mean that monster has very likely already descended upon this island?" Ronald exclaimed in horror.
For low-level pirates like them, Roy's strength wasn't what they feared most. After all, there were many stronger than them, and whether they were twice as strong or a hundred times stronger made no difference.
What they feared most about Roy was undoubtedly his title of "Cataclysm," after all, he had destroyed the Sabaody Archipelago, which was known as the backyard of the Celestial Dragons and an outpost of the New World. Destroying Dressrosa seemed like a trivial matter.
"Your reaction is really slow," Balo said dismissively.
Ronald, no longer caring about Balo's disdain, said seriously, "Then let's hurry and report to Lord Señor. He is the most reliable and tough man in our Diamond Army, no, in our entire family!"
"It's too late, this is too slow." Balo shook his head and said seriously, "Even Lord Señor can't make a decision if such an important figure appears in Dressrosa. We should report it directly to our Diamond Army's commander, Lord Diamante, who is known as the Colosseum Hero."
"Is it really necessary to alarm Lord Diamante just because we met one of his Senior Executive?" Ronald exclaimed.
"Idiot, the young master personally ordered that Nightmare Roy's information be uploaded as top-level intelligence, its top-secret level is on par with the Four Emperors!" Balo's expression was solemn. "If the young master weren't on the island, I would have reported the situation directly to him."
"Hey, isn't the young master on the island right now?" Ronald looked completely bewildered.
Now it was Balo's turn to be surprised. "This is the family's internal intelligence network. Didn't you receive it?"
"Or have you been kicked out of the family?" Balo looked mournful. This good-for-nothing will definitely not have a good ending after losing the title of Donquixote.
"What? How could you do this? I have rendered meritorious service to the Party and the country! I have shed blood for the Young Master! You can't treat me like this! I want to see the Young Master!"
