Revenge! A New Bounty! And Ochoku!

Thus, in Pangea Castle, which was already somewhat chaotic due to the recent events, Stussy's leadership once again received a message from Stussy.

"Revenge?"

The Five Elders received the news immediately.

"What is that brat planning to do now? What did Stussy say?"

She didn't know either; Roa didn't explain clearly, and he left alone.

Stussy's leadership said.

"You bastard!"

Warcury's Conqueror's Haki surged with rage, "You cowardly bastard who got a good deal and still won over the enemy!"

Although they wouldn't blame Lord Imu for Thomas's death, the power of the Topman Family had indeed been greatly weakened, and ultimately, the culprit was Roa!

Not to mention that this scumbag Roa took a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit from the government without Roya's knowledge! That's the most frustrating thing!

Now that Roa has gained all the advantages, he actually wants to take revenge!

Damn it!!

"Let the nearby Affiliated Nation and Marine Base be on high alert!"

Satan said, "In the end, it's nothing more than the kind of revenge a pirate could think of; it's probably just destruction."

However, it was at this moment...

A knock sounded, and after receiving permission from the Five Elders, another CP0 member stumbled in.

"Reporting to His Excellency the Five Elders! Roa has appeared!"

"What? Where?"

"It's Naval Base G-14!"

Let's rewind a few minutes.

New World, later part, Naval Base G-14.

Roa flapped its wings, floating in the sky, looking down at the massive Marine Base below.

Yes, although the general impression is that the New World is Paradise for pirates, the Navy's influence is mostly limited to the estuary area of this sea.

However, in reality, the navy's bases have long been deep in the heart of the New World, since these areas are also home to Affiliated Nation of the World Government.

Just like there is a large island not far behind this G-14 base, which is the location of a government Affiliated Nation.

However, the navies at these large bases are generally only responsible for clearing out pirates near the Affiliated Nation, and they pretend not to see the great pirates who are truly ruling the New World.

And the pirates generally don't provoke them, as they've reached a tacit understanding.

The New World is so big, only someone with nothing better to do would want to start a war with the Navy.

But now, people who have nothing better to do have arrived.

Roa slowly descended.

No, you should have seen me by now, right?

Do I really have to announce my arrival myself? That would be so tacky.

Who goes there!

Fortunately, the navy quickly spotted his arrival in the base plaza below.

With a gasp, a large number of navy personnel looked up at the sky.

Then, naturally, the next thing to happen is...

"Wait, wait! He is, he is— the Calamity Roa!!"

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!! The enemy is the Calamity Roa!!"

A piercing alarm blared throughout the entire base within seconds.

The base officers quickly arrived at the plaza, all looking up in disbelief at Roa above.

Why, why is this guy here?

After the initial doubt came profound despair.

All the navy personnel knew one thing very well: this boy was definitely not an enemy they could resist!

Even the Sengoku Admiral returned empty-handed, and even Mr. Zephyr was defeated by him. One of the most terrifying pirates in the world, what other emotion could they feel besides despair?

"This is revenge."

Roa flapped its wings, and the sound echoed throughout the entire base, even reaching a nearby country.

"Back in the West Blue, I warned the Sengoku not to cause trouble, but you insisted on inviting trouble upon yourselves. So I have no choice but to keep my promise."

Roa sighed with some melancholy. Although strictly speaking, it wasn't the Navy that came looking for trouble, there's an old saying, "To hit someone, you have to hit them in the face first." When the Five Elders were angrily criticizing Akainu, they said that the Navy was just an outer face of the government. Wasn't this a slap in the face?

"You have five minutes to report the situation here to Marine Headquarters."

Almost the instant Roa finished speaking, the Marine Base below erupted into chaos.

The sailors' emotions varied: some cursed angrily, some screamed in fear, and some wailed in despair.

This has led to the development of many different actions.

Some people frantically fled towards the port, some collapsed to the ground unable to move, and others mustered their courage to launch an attack on Roa.

Roa took a deep breath.

Not bad.

"Die, Roa!!"

The base commander strode through the air, hurtling straight towards Roa in the sky.

But before he could even touch Roa, a bolt of lightning struck him down from the sky.

Most of the other naval forces that still considered launching an attack met the same fate.

Even worse is the port.

A large number of desperate sailors, trying to escape, crowded here, struggling to board the ships, causing many to fall directly into the sea.

After boarding the warships, due to a lack of coordination and everyone's desire to escape immediately, several warships collided and began to sink.

Roa simply looked down silently at the chaos below.

Then.

"It's almost time."

Roa flapped his wings and soared into the sky, instantly reaching an even higher altitude.

He raised his right hand high, his index finger pointing to the sky.

Light began to gather at his fingertips.

A tiny speck of light is rapidly growing brighter and brighter.

In just a few seconds, a tiny sun was born on Roa's fingertip.

Below, the Marine Vice Admiral base commander, who had just been struck down by lightning and whose entire body was now charred black, looked up at the blinding light in the sky.

All the sailors were drawn to the brilliance that eclipsed even the sun, and unconsciously looked up.

Not only them, but even the citizens of the Affiliated Nation on the nearby island, who had been drawn by the earlier alarm and Roa's resounding voice, saw that small sun.

Roa took a deep breath; using this move was extremely taxing on him.

Fortunately, the navy at the base provided him with a lot of dark energy, which was enough to restore his stamina.

"So, Gana."

Gently flick your right hand downwards.

The sun has fallen from my fingertips.

The Vice Admiral general base commander struggled to his feet, gripping the knife tightly in his hand.

Even knowing it's futile, in these final moments, you still have to do something!

He looked up at the falling light, mustered all his strength, and leaped up.

Then, a burst of light appeared, and he vanished into the light.

The light is spreading.

In the blink of an eye, it engulfed the entire base, and then continued its relentless spread across the sea, almost swallowing up the edge of the nearby island.

"Oh!"

Roa couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "So beautiful!"

Strange aurora-like lights rippled around the enormous sphere of light below.

Just for this scenery alone, the trip was definitely worthwhile.

A fierce wind was howling across the sea, and the surging shockwaves swept almost everything off the edge of the island not far away.

Then the surging giant waves crashed over.

"Mmm, that felt good."

Roa nodded in satisfaction.

With a flap of its wings, it flew away in a flash.

Shortly afterward, the enormous sphere of light, even brighter than the sun, finally dissipated, revealing a massive crater, from which seawater began to pour in.

Naval base G-14, along with the small island that served as its foundation, has vanished into thin air.

The aftershocks of Roa's revenge are only just beginning to spread.

Marine Headquarters.

The Den Den Mushi placed on the desk automatically went into standby mode after emitting a brief dial tone.

Just seconds before, panicked reports were coming from the Den Den Mushi, then a scream followed by a loud bang, and all sound disappeared.

The muscles in the Fleet Admiral's cheeks were twitching.

"G-14 base has probably been completely destroyed; it possesses that kind of destructive power."

On the opposite sofa, Vice Admiral Vice Admiral Tsuru, slowly exhaled, but the pent-up frustration in his heart remained unvented. "But what does revenge mean? Brother Kong, did the Navy launch an operation against him without my knowledge?"

This is what Vice Admiral Tsuru doesn't understand.

Even if Roa were a mad dog, he wouldn't need to tell such a lie.

"I don't recall giving such an order."

The Fleet Admiral's voice was cold and hard.

Then the two exchanged a glance, already having a guess.

Since it's not the Navy, then it must be the World Government.

"I'll go ask the government right away what they've done."

Kong took a deep breath. "Furthermore, the operation against Roa must be put on the agenda immediately!"

That guy is too dangerous!

Later, Mary Geoise, Between Powers.

The Five Elders are having another meeting.

"The Kingdom of Fanesta sent a call questioning why Roa suddenly appeared and destroyed the G-14 base. The entire country is now on edge."

"The news can't be kept secret any longer; the tabloids of the New World have probably already started printing urgently."

"The Navy is also asking us what we did to Roa. Damn it, those brats who got away with it and are now complaining! Do they think our recruitment is a targeted attack?"

"If we can't hide it anymore, then we won't hide it. Let the whole world know what a crazy guy Roa is."

"Since there's no possibility of reconciliation, there's nothing more to say. Let Stussy remain undercover; we need an opportunity to make a final decision!"

So a little while later, under Roa's watchful eye, Stussy hung up the phone again.

"So, you've been promoted?"

Roa said with great interest.

"Strictly speaking, it means they have higher authority, allowing them to mobilize more manpower and resources."

Stussy's voice was soft, and her eyes, gazing up at Roa, rippled with captivating emotion, making Roa's heart flutter.

Oh no, has she really entered heat?

"It's all thanks to you, Brother Roa. If it weren't for targeting you, the higher-ups wouldn't value me so much."

"Hmph,"

Roa raised his hand and stroked the small, delicate face of the beautiful woman before him. "They value you so much, you can't let them down, little Stussy."

"They understand."

Stussy rubbed against Roa's hand like a kitten.

Wow, so cute!

Roa knew, of course, that this woman was acting, and that if she had the chance, she would betray him without hesitation.

But what does it matter?

He doesn't need any genuine feelings.

The next day, news of the great pirate Roa, the Calamity Roa, destroying the Navy's G-14 Marine Base was already spreading like wildfire throughout the New World.

This incident, of course, caused quite a stir around the world.

Although it didn't generate nearly as much buzz as when Roa defeated Zephyr last year, it was still incredibly exciting.

The Navy's G-series bases are the highest-ranking branch bases besides the Marine Headquarters and the most special G-1 base, playing a significant role in stabilizing the regional situation along the Grand Line.

These bases had remained largely untouched for many years, but this time, Roa broke the unspoken agreement between the Navy and the great pirates.

This has caused widespread panic.

That guy seems really reckless.

Moreover, he possesses unbridled power. According to the newspapers, Roa destroyed the entire base with a single blow. That monster has the power to easily annihilate a country!

Isn't this enough to cause widespread panic?

The thought of a madman wielding destructive power sends chills down my spine.

As a result, Roa's bounty increased again, but this time the increase was quite significant.

In Wano Country, a white-haired baby girl holds a wanted poster of Roa, her smiling face as radiant as a flower. She babbles and reaches out to touch the face on the poster.

Three billion?

Beside him, Kaido spat out a mouthful of sake, "What a joke! Just by destroying a Marine Base? What was that brat up to behind the scenes?!"

They increased their investment by a billion in one go, completely leaving him behind.

Looking at all the pirates in the world, even Whitebeard and Golden Lion can only be compared to Roa. Golden Lion only has 3.1 billion Beli, and Whitebeard only has 3 billion and a few million, so there is almost no difference.

Only Roger was still clearly ahead by a body length.

In just a few months, has Roa become strong enough to rival Golden Lion and Whitebeard?

Kaido, of course, didn't believe it.

That brat Roa must have done something again that greatly angered the World Government, but they can't bring it to light!

"Isn't this a good thing, Big Brother Kaido?"

Beside Kaido, another large man laughed and said, "Isn't Roa on our side?"

Kaido was silent for a moment.

No matter which side Roa was on, he couldn't accept that the kid he had watched grow up had so quickly left him so far behind that he could barely see his back anymore.

"Hanafusa, we need to speed things up too!"

"No problem!"

The Beasts Pirates have finally welcomed new officers.

Roa's bounty has indeed caused quite a stir among the monsters around the world.

However, the one most affected was the man who occupied Beehive Island.

Inside the now-renovated Skull Building, Ochoku, the current owner of Beehive Island, ripped the newspaper in his hand to shreds.

"Is that kid Roa nearby?"

G-14 base isn't too far from Beehive Island, but more importantly, a battle took place on nearby Bart Island yesterday, tearing half the island apart, and Roa was spotted there!

Ochoku's expression was unpredictable.

Is Roa also after Beehive Island? Does he really want to revive the Rocks Pirates?

After the Golden Lion, is it Roa?

No, it's not certain yet.

Ochoku took a deep breath. In any case, he needed to find Roa first and confirm his purpose!
