The Golden Lion's laughter immediately brought everyone back to their senses.

"Shiki is right, that's absolutely insane!"

Charlotte Linlin burst into laughter, "Mother, Mother! Roa, only a little madwoman like you could come up with such a plan!"

While everyone else was focused on recruiting soldiers and expanding their power, Roa was already plotting to conquer the entire New World!

Even though those ranked here are among the top pirates on the high seas, these monsters have to admit that Roa is indeed the most arrogant right now!

Is this what youth is all about?

Fearless of heaven and earth, undaunted, and unrestrained.

"It has indeed piqued my interest!"

Silver Axe slammed his fist on the table. "Dividing up the New World? Hahahaha, Rocks wasn't nearly that crazy!"

"So, Roa, hurry up and tell me, what exactly are you planning to do?"

Ochoku was equally intrigued, "How exactly do you intend to bring your wildest fantasy to life?"

"Isn't it simple?"

Roa shrugged. "Ultimately, the World Government has already partially abandoned the New World. Their entire strength in the New World consists of just a few Marine Base, plus a few Affiliated Nation that are practically useless."

"So weak, once we clear out those Marine Base, the New World will be at our mercy."

"And what about the retaliation from Roa, the World Government, and the Navy?"

A tipsy Captain John pointed out the biggest flaw in Roa's plan, which wasn't even a plan at all. "Whether it's destroying the Marine Base or occupying the New World, the World Government will never stand idly by."

"That's right,"

Silver Axe's smile faded slightly, and he said with some worry, "If things continue like this, it might still escalate into a full-scale war with the World Government!"

"Heh heh heh heh, so Roa, what are you thinking, kid?"

The Golden Lion said with great interest, "Like I said before, if you don't satisfy me, I'm going to lose my temper!"

Total War?

Roa raised the corners of his mouth. "Eight years ago, under the captain's leadership, our power was once strong enough to shake the world. Didn't the World Government just stand by and watch us develop?"

Ultimately, a very simple truth has been overlooked.

Roa laughed and said, "The World Government rules over most of the world, and the Navy's enemies are all the pirates in the world!"

"Could it be that they can continue to keep their main forces stationed in the New World, confronting us indefinitely?"

At this point, everyone's faces lit up with smiles.

Yes, that is indeed a very simple principle!

"It's best to avoid war."

Roa shrugged. "Don't confront them head-on. Then, destroy everything they leave behind. Destruction is much easier than creation, isn't it?"

"Hahahaha! That's right!"

Golden Lion burst into laughter, "The Navy doesn't have that much time, nor that many soldiers to fight a war of attrition with us!"

"Roa is right about something. The World Government has already half-abandoned the New World. How much more price can they possibly pay for this area?"

"But Roa,"

Ochoku then raised a new question, "What about my Beehive Island? You're homeless at sea, so the government can't find you and can't retaliate. But I'm different!"

"That makes it even simpler."

Roa casually remarked, "Trading an island for a piece of sea, even if we have to give it up, what's the harm? Isn't it a worthwhile trade?"

"You make it sound so easy, kid!"

Charlotte Linlin snorted coldly, "Totto Land is the culmination of my years of hard work! How can I easily abandon it!"

"Since that's the case, let's try another method."

Roa remained unconcerned. "How about publishing a statement in the newspaper? If the government and navy dare to attack your territory, then we'll just randomly wipe out a few Affiliated Nation."

Although the World Government's bottom line is also very low, if this matter is brought into the open, it can win the battle of the barefoot who have nothing to fear.

"Hehehe! Isn't this great?"

Kaido laughed heartily, "I'm very satisfied."

Roa gave Kaido perceptible nod.

As expected, only Big Brother Kaido is his true brother, and he's played the role of a scapegoat perfectly!

As for the others, they can indeed fight side by side when there are common interests, but once their interests conflict, these uncles and aunts will probably be the first to stab them in the back.

"Sounds good."

Silver Axe nodded excitedly, "I agree!"

"Same!"

Captain John wiped the wine from his lips, his flushed face radiating fervor. "It's been a long time! Let's have a good time!"

"Then what else can I say?"

Ochoku slammed his hand on the table, his face hardening. "Then let's turn the world upside down!"

"Mother, Mother!"

Charlotte Linlin also revealed a wild smile, "If I back down now, I'm not worthy of being a pirate anymore! Bastards, after so many years, let's fight side by side again!"

"Hahahaha!"

Golden Lion raised his glass. "What are we waiting for! Before we bring fear to the world, let's have a good drink! Roa, you brat, raise your glass too! Don't spoil the fun!"

"There's just no way to deal with Uncle Shiki."

While grumbling like this, Roa raised his glass.

The atmosphere was at its peak, and everyone was about to clink glasses, when, apart from Roa, a spoilsport appeared.

"It is indeed a groundbreaking plan, but,"

With an air of composure, Redfield said calmly, "What does this have to do with me?"

Everyone was taken aback.

That's true.

Red, nicknamed the Lone Red, is a true lone wolf.

Forget about territory, he didn't even have a single partner. What good would it do him to be allocated a piece of sea? It meant absolutely nothing to him.

"Since you're already here, Red, consider it a favor!"

Roa Ya didn't care at all, and said with a grin, "We're the ones who deliver a stunning blow!"

Unfortunately, Red isn't a hero in shonen manga, and the demolition attack only made him smirk.

"Don't forget our agreement, Roa. I don't think you'll encounter any danger this time."

Wow, that's a great answer.

I don't even know what to say anymore.

While they might not give you face, do they really have faith in themselves?

I was quite touched.

Since that's the case!

Roa's eyes sharpened instantly.

I'm about to unleash my ultimate move!

Roa opened his right hand. "Fifty billion Beli. There's a high probability there won't be any fierce battles. All you need to do is come with us, and I'll give you fifty billion Beli!"

Ultimately, what pirate isn't greedy for money?

Luffy and Roger both love treasure.

Red is human too; he needs money.

And this guy looks like a very refined person, so he needs money even more!

Five billion Beli —that's an undeniably huge sum.

Rocks' bounty wasn't even five billion!

Throughout history, aside from Joy Boy and Whitebeard, who were erased from existence, only Roger and Whitebeard had bounties exceeding five billion!

Such generosity surprised everyone.

"You've really made a lot of money over the years!"

Even the Golden Lion couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

Ochoku nodded in deep agreement. More than a year ago, during the war with the Golden Lion, he had spent a considerable sum of money at Roa's hands.

"What are you talking about? Of course, we should all chip in to pay for this."

Roa said seriously, "No matter how meticulous the plan, there is always the possibility of oversight. If it really escalates into a direct confrontation with the World Government, Red's power will be indispensable."

"You little rascal, you really don't want to suffer even the slightest loss!"

Silver Axe snorted.

"I don't care."

Charlotte Linlin is also very generous.

Not only is she the queen of a large country, but she also has a chosen one like Homies. Your Aunt Linlin is not short of money!

"That's settled then!"

Kaido said somewhat impatiently, "If 5 billion could hire a guy like Red, of course it wouldn't be a loss! The problem is..."

He looked at the Crimson Count, "Red, what's your decision?"

Redfield paused for a moment, then gave a wicked smile. "Making five billion for free? Of course I have no objection."

"Then I'll take your good wishes, Red!"

Roa nodded in satisfaction.

In this way, heroes will gather and everyone will work together to achieve great things!

Then.

"In short, let's first divide up our respective territories!"

Silver Axe couldn't wait.

"Idiot, let's take over the New World first."

The Golden Lion sneered, his eyes blazing with fury. "We'll make our move after the banquet. I can't wait!"

"I agree!"

Kaido and he share the same eagerness.

Don't rush!

Roa waved his hand, stopping the excited crowd. "Although the alliance has been formed, it's not enough. We still need more."

"Covenant!"

"A pact?"

Ochoku raised an eyebrow.

"Regarding what happened after the conquest of the New World,"

He paused for a moment, then said, "How should we preserve our territory?"

"Even without a large-scale attack on the New World, the World Government will likely still be active! When they withdraw from the New World and we rule this sea area, we will be the ones threatened by them! Especially those whose territory is close to the entrance to the New World."

Everyone fell into deep thought.

Especially Charlotte Linlin.

As she said, the Totto Land was her life's work, and if she were to choose a territory, she would definitely choose the sea area near the Totto Land, and this sea area was very close to the entrance area of New World.

"So I suggest,"

Roa said, "We don't care about internal conflicts, but if the enemy is the World Government, we will always fight side by side!"

"That makes sense!"

Charlotte Linlin was the first to agree, "I have no objections!"

Me too.

Kaido naturally lent a hand to Roa.

"Agree!"

Agreed!

Ochoku, Silver Axe, John, and the other two had no objections.

The World Government is indeed their greatest enemy.

Roa...

Only the Golden Lion gazed intently at Roa.

That brat used that excuse to tie everyone up!

Although the reason given was to fight against the World Government, let's not forget that the Rocks Pirates originally gathered together simply to pull off a big heist!

Roa!

You little rascal!

Is this your real purpose?

"Of course I have no objection either."

The Golden Lion had a radiant smile.

Although he believed he had seen through Roa's little scheme, he didn't care.

After all, what Roa said made a lot of sense; neither of them alone had the power to stand against the World Government.

We must work together to protect the New World.

Well, although it sounds a bit strange for pirates to talk about protecting others, that's the gist of it.

And, hahahaha! Roa, let's wait and see who will lead this alliance next!

"That's great!"

Roa raised his glass high. "In that case, let us make a pact here and now. No matter what conflicts arise in the future, if the World Government attacks, we must join hands to fight against them!"

Anyone who violates this rule will be attacked by everyone!

"Of course!"

Everyone raised their glasses at the same time, laughing loudly as they drank them down in one gulp.

Red was also holding a wine glass, felt out of place with all of them.

But it was precisely this sense of incongruity that stirred his emotions inexplicably.

Is he now witnessing the birth of a second Rocks Pirates?

Red stared intently at Roa was holding a wine glass and smiling broadly.

More than a decade ago, Rocks gathered a group of monsters and created the most feared pirate crew in history!

And now, the boy who inherited his will has also formed an astonishing pirate alliance!

He even plans to lead these monsters to conquer this vast ocean!

Suddenly, an idea popped into Red's head.

Just how far is Roa capable of?

Can he surpass that guy Rocks and achieve something unprecedented?

Now, let me witness it for you.

Red thought.

The alliance has been signed; the next step is to finalize the specific action plan, which is quite simple.

With everyone mobilized, they wiped out all the Marine Base in the New World before the World Government and Navy could even react.

Then, we can just sit back and wait for the World Government to go crazy, and then we'll just have to accept our fate.

After a brief discussion, everyone assigned their respective areas of responsibility, and the strategic deployment ended just like that.

Then came the joyous banquet.

The banquet lasted until late into the night.

Roa was quite drunk.

But now is not the time to sleep.

Roa went to the beach outside the palace to enjoy the sea breeze.

There was already someone waiting for him here.

"Roa! I heard everything! You're incredibly audacious!"

Katakuri sat excitedly on a rock, swinging his long legs, "Taking over the New World... even Rocks wasn't this crazy!"

"Is this... incredibly audacious?"

Roa smiled.

"Tsk, I'm so unwilling to accept this!"

Katakuri slammed his hand on the rock in frustration, cracking the solid rock. "Such a big event, and I can only follow behind my Mother!"

"Since that's the case,"

Roa sensed his friend's reluctance and suggested, "How about you take care of G-1 base?"

Katakuri rolled his eyes. "You want me to die, huh?!"

G-1 Base is the only Marine Base that was not part of the general plan.

One reason is that Marine Admiral- level figure has been stationed there year-round, such as Sengoku or Garp.

Secondly, it's because it's so close to Mary Geoise that the Knights of God can quickly come to its aid.

If we were to actually attack that place, it could easily escalate into the last thing anyone wants to see: a full-scale confrontation with the World Government.

"Don't worry, my friend."

Roa squinted slightly; the alcohol had numbed his senses, and this tipsy state made him feel quite comfortable.

This is just the beginning.

Facing the cool sea breeze, Roa said, "The real battle is far from over."

Is this just the beginning?

Katakuri paused for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh. "So, rebuilding the Rocks Pirates is also for that real battle?"

"Rebuild the Rocks Pirates?"

Roa smiled. "There won't be another Rocks Pirates, Katakuri."

"I won't be the second captain either."

As I've already said, this was just to teach the World Government a lesson.

Don't overinterpret it.

As for why they want to win everyone over, isn't it just to distract the World Government?

Good brothers are one thing, but I, Luo, don't need disobedient subordinates.

"Katakuri, since you think you're so weak, how about I teach you advanced Haki?"

My good friend really needs to get stronger, otherwise how long will it take him to surpass Aunt Linlin?

"Oh?"

The next day.

The operation officially began.

Everyone dispersed and headed towards their pre-assigned areas.

The monsters that had gathered together have finally been unleashed, and this time, they are sure to shake the entire world!
