The next day, newspapers all over the world were reporting extensively on the Celestial Dragons's murder, their words filled with grief, as if their own parents had died.

It must be said that the whole world has indeed been deeply shocked.

After all, it was Celestial Dragons who was killed.

The descendants of the twenty kings who created the World Government, a divine race residing high above the clouds, are known to all that if they are harmed, the Marine Admiral will immediately be dispatched.

But on this day, a Celestial Dragons was indeed killed.

Moreover, it's not just one, it's three real Celestial Dragons, one family!

Even non- Affiliated Nation were quite frightened, let alone the Affiliated Nation of the World Government.

They never imagined that such a madman existed in the world!

However, those who knew a little about the man named Bondi World knew that he was indeed a hothead.

The man named World was like a runaway locomotive, rampaging across the sea, mercilessly crushing anyone who dared to stand in his way with the power of the More-More Fruit.

That dimwitted guy wouldn't care about Celestial Dragons or Celestial Dragons.

One can only say that those Celestial Dragons were rather unlucky.

However, at this point, the whole world was beginning to anticipate the response from World Government.

The Celestial Dragons no one should be trifled with, have been killed. If the perpetrator isn't dealt with quickly, where will the government put its face?

In fact, the World Government has indeed gone somewhat mad.

According to Stussy, both the Navy and CP are operating at full strength to eliminate World in the shortest possible time.

Roa paid close attention to this matter and instructed Stussy and Morgans to report to him immediately if they had any news.

Meanwhile, the Snail Fleet continued its relentless march towards the New World, the sea area where the incident occurred, located at the forefront of the New World, without delaying its journey to Fish-Man Island.

Then, one afternoon.

"Roar!"

With a piercing scream, a monster as large as a mountain crashed into the sea, instantly creating huge waves.

"Sea Beast? They're that big! Is this the Calm Belt? The Sea Beast' lair truly lives up to its name!"

Bege wiped the water splashed on her face and exclaimed repeatedly, "And then, what kind of monster is this?!"

In the sky, Bullet, whose skull had exploded from an attacking Sea Beast's Mercury Heavy Punch, plummeted onto a platform formed by several snails.

He was almost expressionless, clearly not feeling that he had done anything remarkable.

It was just a slightly larger wild beast.

Indeed, what a monster!

With his head covered in bumps and his body covered in bruises, Moria, looking extremely disheveled, glanced at Bullet and thought to himself.

Roa is one thing, but what kind of monster is this guy?

Moria had learned from his experience a few days ago that this brat also possessed the power to easily defeat him.

Now he is even more certain of this.

He couldn't withstand that guy's fist, which was dozens of meters long.

He's such an annoying guy!

Why would someone so capable help Roa?

Moria withdrew his gaze and took a deep breath.

Envy and jealousy are meaningless; the only truth is to become stronger yourself!

"Again!"

Moria shouted.

"Good."

Before him, Dylan, holding a thick wooden stick, nodded slightly. "Then continue."

The wooden stick cut through the air and slammed towards Moria again in an instant.

Moria neither dodged nor evaded, but instead used his body to withstand Dylan's attacks.

Dylan said that Haki is a power hidden within everyone. Theoretically, with training, everyone can unleash Haki; the difference lies in the speed of mastery and the intensity of the Haki.

And if you want to project Haki, there's no better way than by taking a beating.

Using your body to withstand the force can stimulate your Armament Haki.

Try to dodge; you can use your Observation Haki.

Moria didn't understand either, so he could only take the beating as instructed.

Bege, watching this scene from the side, couldn't help but shudder.

Is this really cultivation?

Is Dylan really not torturing Moria?

Roa said that Haki is a force that must be mastered. Could it be that I will also have to go through such trials in the future?

"Don't just stand there!"

Just as I was engrossed in watching, I received a slap on the back of the head.

Bege was about to explode, but when she turned her head and saw Doflamingo's ambiguous smile, Bege immediately fell silent.

Seeing Bege's sudden change in expression, Doflamingo's smile became even more delighted, finally experiencing the joy he felt when Bullet and Dylan were training him.

"Keep training, Bege! Physical strength is the foundation of all abilities!" he said righteously.

You don't need to tell me!

Bege gritted her teeth inwardly.

Just you wait, Doflamingo, you better not let me surpass you!

As Moria collapsed to the ground, battered by Dylan's beating, he panted for breath and regained his strength while observing his surroundings.

It should be said that, apart from Roa himself who was taking a nap, all of his subordinates were very diligent.

Bullet and Abel, those two monster-level guys, are both training quietly now, while even Doflamingo and Bege, those two real brats, are huffing and puffing as they run with weights.

They looked very energetic and vibrant.

But are they really a team?

After observing for the past few days, Moria discovered something: the atmosphere among Roa's subordinates was not actually very harmonious.

It could even be said that they rarely had any harmonious conversations with each other; being able to exchange a few casual words was already the limit.

We've been sailing together for a long time, but it feels like we're not very familiar with each other.

Without Roa's orders, everyone went about their own business with very little interaction. If anything, Bullet would occasionally fight with Abel.

Hmph, if Roa weren't here, these guys would probably turn against each other immediately, right?

Moria couldn't help but think to himself that they were a complete mess, only Roa had forcibly brought them together.

Roa, however, seemed completely unfazed. Was he really that confident in himself? Could his confidence allow him to suppress these guys forever?

If Roa, who was sleeping, knew what Moria was thinking, he would probably laugh and reply that this was the kind of corporate culture he learned about from childhood.

Moria felt inexplicably smug, thinking that this so-called Calamity Company was far inferior to his harmonious pirate crew!

However, the thought of his pirate crew caused Moria's expression to darken.

Although the children weren't mistreated, their lives weren't easy being thrown into the factory.

That bastard factory of Roa exploited its workers to the point of death. Every day, they woke up and worked, and after work, they slept. They even had to eat on the assembly line, with almost no time to catch their breath.

Moria felt very sorry for him.

But there was nothing he could do; Roa said he didn't keep idle people under his command.

If you really want to improve your partners' situation, you have to make a contribution.

Contribute?

Moria gritted his teeth, braced himself on his knees, and stood up. "Again!"

"Very good."

Dylan looked at Moria with great admiration in his eyes.

This kid may be a bit weak, but his willpower is much stronger Doflamingo's; there's a force driving him forward.

Based on Moria's inner strength, Dylan knew that his future would be bright.

As expected of the boss, he has excellent taste.

In just over an hour, the large fleet crossed the Calm Belt and returned to the New World.

The peculiarity of this sea area immediately startled Moria, the country bumpkin from the West Blue, and Bege.

The weather changes almost every moment, sometimes sunny, sometimes rainy, sometimes thunderstorms, sometimes hail, making it extremely difficult to predict.

Is this the New World?

Moria looked up at the overcast sky, where the lightning flashing through the clouds illuminated his horribly disfigured face.

This was the first time he had realized the terror of nature!

Human resources are truly insignificant in the face of this.

"It's so noisy."

An annoyed voice rang out from the side, "Can't a person get any sleep?!"

In the next instant, the dark clouds vanished completely, and the sky cleared up once again.

"Huh?"

Moria blinked blankly.

What about the terrifying power of nature?

What about meteorological disasters that are beyond human control?

"Now you know who's the boss, huh?"

Awakened from his sleep by the booming thunder, Roa groaned and closed his eyes, preparing to continue his dream.

How can mere weather forecasting possibly withstand the power of natural disasters?

Did Roa do it?

Moria swallowed hard.

What exactly is this guy's ability?

That is, at this moment.

Brub brub brub.

Roa, who had just closed his eyes, opened them again in annoyance, took out Den Den Mushi from his pocket, and answered the call.

"Brother Roa, we found him!"

A sweet, cloying female voice came from the other end of the phone, "We've found Bondi World's whereabouts!"

"Oh?"

Roa, who had been a bit grumpy upon waking, suddenly perked up. "Tell me more!"

"If we want to find him, we need to hurry, Brother Roa! That guy's about to be finished!"

An island in the early part of the New World.

Naval warships surrounded the island from all directions.

Almost every warship had a naval officer with a vice Vice Admiral's epaulet on his shoulder, standing ready for action.

At that moment, a powerful sound, amplified by a loudspeaker, resounded across the island.

"Bondi World, you have nowhere to run! Surrender now!"

"How could this be! How did the Navy know we were here!"

On a rock at the edge of the island, a short, middle-aged man exclaimed incredulously, "This is a deserted island! No one should be able to reveal our whereabouts!"

"We can talk about that later. The question now is, what do we do next, Captain?"

Nearby, a pirate couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Hahaha! What do we do?"

Standing at the very front of everyone, a tall, strong man with particularly thick arms, wearing a double-horned helmet, laughed loudly, "Just like always, of course, we'll wipe out all the enemies, then leave with a feast!"

His smile held a clear, honest quality, as if he didn't understand the situation at all.

But it was this smile that instantly silenced the previously restless pirates.

"Yes, that makes sense."

A tall, beautiful woman, dressed in a cheongsam with a white overcoat, lightly touched her red lips with her slender fingers. "Captain," she said, "Of course, you can use your abilities to blast any enemy into pieces!"

"The captain's abilities are unmatched!"

A blue-skinned Fish-Man carrying two enormous hammers laughed along.

"Then, let's fight!"

The man, sporting square-shaped twin ponytails and wielding a massive warhammer—resembling a small, hammer-shaped cannon—roared, "Captain! Let's crush them!"

"Oh!!"

Captain, Bondi World, captain of the World Pirates, laughed and raised his right arm.

Just like countless times before, he was going to lead his companions to victory!

But this time, unlike the others, World and his officers were unaware that among the ordinary members behind them, several people's eyes were beginning to flicker.

"Launch the attack!!"

Seeing that the World Pirates were not responding to their surrender offers, the warships on the sea immediately launched an attack without further ado.

A fleet of massive warships swept across the sea, their cannons aimed at the coastline.

But at that moment, World had already grabbed a cannonball.

"Hundred-Fold — Hundred-Fold Cannon!"

He threw the shell he was holding directly at a warship in the distance.

In the next instant, the size and speed of the cannonball increased a hundredfold, turning into a giant cannonball that swept across the sea as fast as Inazuma, and in the blink of an eye, it slammed into the warship in the distance.

Boom!

The massive explosion instantly engulfed the warship, creating a brilliant burst of flames on the sea.

"Fire!"

Seeing their comrades killed, the navy men were utterly enraged.

Then, one heavy cannon after another opened fire simultaneously, and a dense barrage of shells rained down on the pirates like a torrential downpour.

"Hahaha! Useless, useless!"

World laughed wildly, "Hundred-Fold — Hundred-Fold Stone!"

He casually picked up a huge rock at his feet and threw it.

The next moment, the reef transformed into a mountain peak, directly blasting away a large number of incoming shells from mid-air, and also smashing a distant warship to pieces.

The remaining shells scattered around, causing a series of explosions, but they didn't touch the pirates at all.

"That's incredible! No wonder he's the captain!"

The Fish-Man cheered.

"Of course!"

World excitedly raised his arms, looking like a celebrating Masira, "Anyone who dares to stand in our way shall die!"

His dream is to travel around the world, and to achieve this, he eliminates anyone who dares to stand in his way!

The officials all had smiles on their faces.

This time, we will once again win easily under the captain's leadership.

Clap clap clap

Amidst the booming of exploding shells around them, a few faint sounds rang out.

But with those few soft sounds, several streaks of blood bloomed on World's vest, his body swayed, and he suddenly collapsed to the ground.

"..."

The short first mate stared blankly at his brother, who was sprawled on the ground. "World?"

What happened?

"World!!"

He suddenly heard a roar from behind, "If you're going to drag us all into hell, don't blame us for taking you down first!!"

The officials turned their heads in bewilderment.

Then they saw several men with contorted expressions pointing their guns at World, who was lying on the ground.

"You..."

Despite being shot multiple times, World did not die; he simply turned around in disbelief.

"You betrayed me?"
