World Awaits

A sea area in the New World.

A small island stands quietly here, and on the island is a Marine Branch base.

It belongs to the Navy's G-6 base and exists to maintain the peace of a nearby government Affiliated Nation.

Meanwhile, the navy personnel at this Marine Branch base were in complete chaos.

The source of the chaos was a Giant Snail floating on the surface of the sea not far away.

"Hahaha! Doflamingo, are you really sure you can do this?"

On the snail's head, Teach held binoculars in his left hand and a cherry pie in his right. While observing the situation at the Marine Base, he stuffed the overly sweet cherry pie into his mouth, all the while talking to his companion beside him.

The kind where food scraps spray everywhere from your mouth.

"Fufufu, just you wait and see, Teach!"

Doflamingo had already assembled the heavy cannon, its thick barrel aimed at the distant base.

Snort!

You vulgar, fat, dark-skinned bastard, I'll show you my power!

"World! Get ready, you bastard!"

Doflamingo roared angrily.

The World Destroyer, who had long since become a vengeful spirit, stood before the cannon barrel and raised his hand high.

"Oh?"

Teach's eyes widened, clearly quite interested.

Then.

Boom!

Heavy artillery roared!

The massive cannonball grazed past World's right hand, which was wrapped in Armament Haki, just as it left the barrel.

In the next instant, the shell, which was already taller than a person, expanded to the size of a small mountain!

But more significant than the specifications is the speed!

The mountain-sized shell flew so fast that it became invisible to the naked eye.

Almost instantly, it was fired, and in the blink of an eye, it had already crashed heavily into a Marine Base not far away.

Light!

It felt as if a brand new sun was blooming right before our eyes.

Teach felt the unparalleled brightness of the light so intense that he could barely open his eyes.

Then, I couldn't hear anymore either.

The deafening roar nearly destroyed Teach's hearing.

Next, a fierce wind will blow everything away.

The ocean was swept up by wave after wave of giant waves, but fortunately, the Giant Snail had already withstood the test of various extreme environments at sea and remained as steady as Mount Tai.

When the light faded, Teach saw was the Marine Base that had been completely razed to the ground, with only thick black smoke rising from it.

"Oh!!"

Teach's expression was unusually exaggerated, then he suddenly burst into laughter, "Hahahaha! Such power! Doflamingo, you little rascal, you were hiding something like this all along!"

Indeed, I made the right decision!

This guy is so important to Roa, he must be something special.

"Fufufufu! There's a lot you don't know!"

Doflamingo laughed triumphantly.

Now you know how powerful I am, you bastard!

Behind the two, Bege curled her lip. "Stop pretending. Without me transporting your equipment, what's the difference between your abilities and a blank slate?"

"Hahaha! Bullet and Abel should be taken care of by now,"

Teach laughed heartily, "In that case, all the Marine Base in this area have been completely wiped out!"

"Not just this sea area!"

Doflamingo's laughter grew even louder, "Fufufufu! The entire New World is about to be turned upside down!"

"I can't wait to see what happens next!"

After dealing with the branch base, the Giant Snail carried the three of them back quickly and soon rejoined the main fleet.

Meanwhile, Dylan, Bullet, and Abel had all successfully returned to base.

As for Roa, he is preparing to give an interview.

"Wearing this all of a sudden feels a bit strange, doesn't it?"

Having changed into a black suit, Roa Ya stood in front of a full-length mirror, somewhat uncomfortably loosening his tie. Looking at himself in the mirror, he felt awkward no matter how he looked at himself. "Shi, what do you think?"

He has always preferred elaborate formal wear, always dressing as if he were attending a banquet.

The reason I'm suddenly wearing this outfit is simply because I'll be acting as everyone's spokesperson from now on, and I need to be as serious as possible.

Behind Roa, Kozuki Toki was also wearing a suit. The cold, stiff fabric somehow clung to her exquisite, undulating body curves, outlining a kind of ascetic yet breathtaking beauty.

The beautiful woman turned her head slightly away, avoiding looking at Roa's back.

She was immersed in a deep sadness.

After all, they had just witnessed Roa sink an island in one fell swoop.

Roa gently twitched his nose, and his mood instantly became even more pleasant.

That's the fun of having Kozuki Toki as your secretary.

Whee.

The interview began shortly afterward.

The reporter from the * New World Times*, though not as famous as the World Economy News Paper, but still quite well-known in the New World, looked somewhat nervously at the neatly dressed young man before him.

"Then, Lord Roa, shall we... begin?"

Qian, please, please don't say anything that might offend this important person. Everyone in the world knows that he's incredibly petty!

"Um."

Roa's serious expression, combined with his still somewhat youthful face, created a striking contrast.

However, the reporter summoned by Roa pretended not to see it. He took a deep breath, calming his nervousness and excitement, and asked the question that would undoubtedly shock the world.

"Lord Roa, what exactly do you want to do?"

Almost simultaneously.

Mary Geoise, Pangea Castle, among the Flower Room.

The Five Elders urgently gathered together.

"This is outrageous! A swarm of flies is trying to turn the whole New World into their garbage dump!"

"What on earth is going on?! Why did these guys suddenly all move together?!"

"Who else could it be? Besides that damned scumbag Roa, who else could have such an ability!"

"Our worst fears have come true. That bastard Roa really did rebuild the Rocks Pirates!"

"Shiki, Ochoku, Silver Axe, John, Kaido, Charlotte Linlin! Only Whitebeard is missing!"

"Didn't they add Redfield again? Ha, the guy who was fighting the Golden Lion more than a year ago has been won over! That brat Roa is really going to become the next Rocks!"

"There can be no more hesitation; their goal is to seize the entire New World! If we let them get away with it, where will the government put its face?"

"Immediately mobilize all naval forces! CP0, join the operation! They want a war, so we'll give them one! This time, perhaps it's time for us to make our move!"

"Agreed!"

The terrifying machine of the World Government has begun to roar into action.

The Marine Hero who was pursuing the Roger Pirates in a certain sea area of Paradise received orders immediately.

"What?! The Rocks Pirates are going to be resurrected! I'm coming back right away!"

At Marine Headquarters G-1, Admiral Sengoku, who was stationed there, also received a call from headquarters.

"Brother Kong, is the situation really that serious?"

"It's more serious than you think!"

The Fleet Admiral's voice, filled with gritted teeth, came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi: "Now, besides G-1 Base, there's no other Marine Base left in New World! Those audacious pirates, they want to take over the entire New World!"

"Garp is already on his way back, and Zephyr and Tsuru will be there soon! This time, besides me staying at headquarters, all available combat forces will be deployed! You will be the supreme commander!"

"Yes!"

Marine Headquarters.

New recruit training camp.

After packing his luggage, Zephyr walked out of the dormitory with a sullen face.

Roa, that brat who deserves to be torn to pieces, has finally caused chaos!

As he approached the training camp gate, he suddenly saw a man huffing and puffing as he ran laps carrying a heavy barbell.

Zephyr paused, then called out to the man, "Kuzan, come here!"

"Professor Zephyr?"

Curly-haired Kuzan ran over looking bewildered. "What's wrong?"

Zephyr said indifferently, "Come with me!"

After a moment of surprise, Kuzan suddenly felt a surge of enthusiasm. "Zephyr, is there a mission you need my help with?"

"Get ready, recruits!"

Without pausing, Zephyr strode out of the training camp. "This time, the enemy..."

"It's the Rocks Pirates!"

"Ah??"

A terrifying force is beginning to converge on the New World, and a great battle comparable to the Battle of God Valley seems imminent.

However, most people in the world still know nothing about it.

Even in the New World, only a very small number of countries, the Affiliated Nation of the World Government, knew about this sudden and enormous change.

The end of the world is coming!

The kings of these Affiliated Nation were terrified after receiving an urgent message from the World Government.

What will happen to them if the navy can no longer protect them?

One phone call after another was made to Mary Geoise, but the only response was to tell them to calm down.

The kings immediately started swearing.

"Take it easy, my foot!"

In this situation, should we remain calm and patient?

Even so, this bombshell news only circulated among the upper echelons of these Affiliated Nation.

Even the people of the Affiliated Nation were almost completely unaware of this, let alone those in the non- Affiliated Nation.

Fortunately, a kind-hearted person had already made preparations.

That afternoon, the News Coo took flight in the New World.

Newspapers fluttered down like snowflakes across the New World.

Those who found the newspaper all saw the photo on the front page: a boy with a serious expression, who actually looked like he couldn't help but laugh.

And so, an unprecedented upheaval swept across the entire New World.

"How could this be?! Has the Rocks Pirates really been resurrected?"

"Shiki, Charlotte Linlin, Kaido, Ochoku, Silver Axe, Captain John, Redfield, and Roa! This lineup is almost as strong as the Rocks Pirates back in the day!"

"I knew it all along! Hahaha! I knew it all along! That guy Roa would rebuild the Rocks Pirates sooner or later! He's Rocks' successor!"

"All the Marine Base in the New World have been destroyed! What will become of this sea area?!"

"That guy Roa said they're going to take over the whole New World! Even Rocks wasn't that crazy back then!"

"The World Government, and the Navy! Only they can stop those monsters!"

"Whether we can stop them or not, the New World is finished! Even if we defeat those monsters, the Navy doesn't have enough power to rebuild order in the New World!"

"Affiliated Nation, what are we supposed to do! That madman Roa said that if the government dares to retaliate, they'll randomly choose an Affiliated Nation and wipe it out! How can anyone in the world be so insane!"

"Hahaha! I've been wanting to plunder the Affiliated Nation for a long time; they're the real fat sheep!"

"Hehehehe! The pampered Affiliated Nation are finally entering a truly New World! Welcome to hell!"

Almost instantly, the entire New World was in an uproar.

But it's not just New World.

This matter could no longer be covered up; newspapers swarmed in like vultures, frantically reprinting the news to the world!

And so, the whole world was shocked next.

There are only six ocean areas in the entire world, and now pirates want to seize one of them!

Nothing so shocking has happened in hundreds of years.

The world is waiting.

We await further developments.

And among all those waiting around the world, some are even more important.

The New World, the Sphinx.

"Pops! This is a huge problem!"

Marco's face was extremely grim. "Those bastards are actually capable of such madness!"

Before him, Whitebeard clutching a newspaper also had a somber expression.

"Besides, that guy Roa, I have absolutely no idea how he managed to win over that guy Shiki!"

Marco paced anxiously back and forth, large beads of sweat streaming down his forehead. "If they really succeed in taking over the entire New World, what will happen to the Sphinx?"

Whitebeard's chest heaved violently, clearly indicating that he too was extremely shaken at this moment.

Yes, what will happen to this country if those scumbags seize the New World?

The first half of the Grand Line, in a certain area of Paradise Sea.

"Hahaha! Captain! The Rocks Pirates have actually come back to life!"

Gaban laughed heartily, newspaper in hand. "It was Roa, wasn't it? Only that kid has the ability to connect all those unruly monsters!"

"This is insane!"

Rayleigh shook his head helplessly. "The entire New World may soon become a battlefield. Regardless of who wins or loses, that sea area is about to face another great disaster."

"Battlefield?"

On the ship's side, Roger, who was busy playing with a baby, looked up and said, "I think those guys probably don't want to go to war with the World Government again."

"Indeed."

Beside her, Olvia, leaning against the ship's railing and hidden in Roger's shadow, flipped through a book and said calmly, "To take over the New World, perhaps we don't need to confront the World Government head-on."

"Ah?"

Marine Headquarters G-1 Base.

At this port, a large fortress comparable in scale to the Marine Headquarters.

Marine Admiral Sengoku stands here silently.

Beside him stood Garp, who was picking his nose, and Zephyr, who looked quite disgruntled.

Behind the three standing at the front were a group of Vice Admiral from the Marine Headquarters, led by Chief of Staff Tsuru.

However, there were also three men among them who were not yet Vice Admiral.

"Oh! You must be Sakazuki and Borsalino, right? Hello, I'm Kuzan!"

The curly-haired man muttered softly, "Teacher Zephyr told us a lot about you two! He said you two are the best among all the recruits!"

"Oh? That Zephyr teacher would actually say good things about me?"

Borsalino grinned. "Kuzan, right? This year's recruits haven't even graduated yet, and you've already been brought here by Instructor Zephyr. Looks like you're quite the monster."

However, it brought back some not-so-pleasant memories.

"Ah la la"

Kuzan scratched the back of his head a little embarrassedly, "It's not that amazing."

"Quiet!"

Sakazuki, his face still cold, said in an even colder voice, "They're here!"

Borsalino and Kuzan looked up at the same time. In the distance, on the sea, an enormous ship was approaching.

As the ship gradually entered the harbor, Sengoku suddenly shouted, "The Five Elders are about to arrive! All officers below the Commodore, bow your heads!"

Garp, standing beside him, couldn't help but curl his lip. It's just an entrance, why make such a big fuss?

Zephyr's gaze was equally cold. The Celestial Dragons exploit the entire world, and the Five Elders are the Celestial Dragons above them all!

However, upon receiving Sengoku's order, a chorus of heads bowed instantly filled the harbor.

At that moment, soft footsteps could be heard on the deck of the large ship, which was gradually stabilizing.

An elderly man, dressed in a black suit and overcoat, with a tall and straight posture and a long white beard, walked to the bow of the ship.

He was followed by a group of CP0 officers in white suits.

Looking down at the navy in the harbor below, Markus Saint Mars, one of the Five Elders, the world's highest authority, calmly said, "Let's set sail."

This is the answer given by the World Government!
