Roa's Live Broadcast! Time to Say Goodbye!

It must be said that Golden Lion's ability was incredibly useful, easily carrying several pirate crews from the North Blue towards the first half of the Grand Line.

Meanwhile, the enormous island that carried everyone was already flying above the Red Line.

Looking down at the Red Line from this angle, the view is truly magnificent.

The endless red continent stretched as far as the eye could see, like solidified magma.

This is truly a unique sight in a world where the ocean is the central theme.

However, at this moment, almost no one paid attention to the magnificent scenery.

After crossing the Red Line, Marine Headquarters Marineford is not far away.

At this moment.

Roa was fiddling with a Den Den Mushi, a Transponder Snail.

Next to him was another Den Den Den Mushi), which had already been dialed.

"So, I just turn on the Transponder Snail, point it at myself, and the live stream starts, right?"

"Yes, Lord Roa!"

A fawning voice came from the other end of the phone, "We've already set up live streaming equipment in many countries. Once your live stream starts, we'll begin rebroadcasting immediately."

"Excellent!"

Roa snapped his fingers happily, "You guys really hit the jackpot this time. Originally, based on our influence, we should have approached the World Economy News Paper, but then I thought about it and realized we've cooperated so many times, so I decided to go with you guys instead."

The man on the other end of the phone was the editor-in-chief of the New World Times. After hearing Roa's words, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Isn't it because the World Economic News Paper is ultimately too constrained by the World Government, unlike our small newspaper that only circulates in the New World, which can act with impunity?

But considering Roa's personality, the president continued, his voice filled with gratitude, "We are truly honored by your high regard, Lord Roa!"

"Don't just feel honored; don't forget the broadcasting fee."

Roa reminded him.

The newspaper editor on the other end of the phone was momentarily speechless.

We set up your live streaming equipment and provided you with the channels to stream for free, and now you expect me to pay you?

Roa! Don't go too far! Do you really think we're easy to mess with?

But while he thought it in his heart, what he actually said was, "Of course, of course, Lord Roa!"

Their newspaper is certainly not someone to be trifled with, but as for Roa, he's not someone you can simply judge as easy to deal with or not.

From now on, everyone who wants to make it in the New World will probably have to be mindful of this person's feelings.

Thus, Roa ended the communication with satisfaction.

"Hahaha! You've got quite a few tricks up your sleeve, kid!"

The Golden Lion, sitting cross-legged to one side, looked at Roa with interest and asked, "What are you planning to do with the live stream this time?"

Roa said with a serious expression, "There's nothing we can do. Capital—uh, no, I mean the World Government— controls the world's narrative!"

"To break this situation, we need to rely on social media!"

"Ha?"

The Golden Lion looked completely bewildered, having no idea what Roa was talking about.

However, after a moment's thought, he roughly understood.

What they were about to do was, to put the Navy's face on the ground and trample it.

What if World Government, like before, fabricate fake news and deny the event's authenticity?

So, that's what Roa was thinking—to broadcast this live, right?

"Certainly,"

Roa scratched his face a little embarrassedly, "I also want the world to see my heroic figure."

The Golden Lion remained silent.

Now I understand.

Ultimately, it's all about the food.

"Roa!"

Suddenly, the Golden Lion opened its mouth.

"Um?"

Roa, who was fiddling with the Transponder Snail, looked up in surprise.

"Let's have a competition!"

A strange light gleamed in the Golden Lion's eyes. "Let's see who the winner is in the end!"

"Ah?"

Roa looked completely bewildered. "Uncle Shiki, what are you talking about?"

"Hahahaha! After this battle, the World Government will have no choice but to compromise!"

The Golden Lion roared with laughter, "A new era is about to dawn in the New World!"

"You say we'll rule that sea like emperors, but I think emperors don't need many of those!"

"The alliance you've formed is indeed impressive, but who will lead it remains to be seen!"

Looking at the Golden Lion's excited smile, Roa knew perfectly well that he had gone from being someone the Golden Lion was trying to win over to being his rival!

Even Roa frowned at this moment.

He said with a serious expression, "Uncle Shiki, strictly speaking, you're not a member of our alliance."

"Ah?"

Roa cautioned, "You only formed a temporary alliance with us while carrying out this plan."

Don't think you can sneak in just by pretending. Do you think you're Lu Xiaobu?

Golden Lion then remembered that he had indeed refused Roa's invitation before.

This...

"Or, why don't you officially join now?"

Marine Headquarters, Marineford.

This is the great fortress of justice, a bastion that has never fallen in eight hundred years.

Although a large portion of the troops were diverted to the New World to pursue the monsters, the fortress still has a large number of soldiers stockpiled.

After all, this place also bears the important responsibility of protecting Mary Geoise.

"Damn scum!"

On the top floor of the imposing headquarters building, in the Fleet Admiral's Office, the man who commanded the entire navy, Kong, leaned wearily against his office chair, rubbing his temples and muttering, "Where have they all gone? They're really cunning!"

The situation is not good right now.

The government and navy were forced to resort to deception and misleading the world, but this purely propaganda offensive only served to stabilize the rear and did little to help the war effort, as the enemy was not fooled.

On the contrary, there's a high probability that it will enrage those crazy guys.

To be honest, although he was the Fleet Admiral, after realizing the pirates' tactics, Kong had little hope of winning the war.

Because this was inherently an unequal war.

Faced with the enemy's tactics, the navy and the government were completely helpless.

However, this idea only lasted until yesterday.

It's fair to say that Roa was so furious about the fake news fabricated by the government that he seemed to have lost his temper.

"Fleet Admiral Kong! Roa's live stream is about to start!"

Just then, a communications soldier hurriedly knocked on the office door.

Kong's spirits lifted instantly. "Are the Science Unit ready?"

"Yes, Dr. Vegapunk is ready!"

"Very good, connect me to that phone call. I need the news immediately! Also, switch over to Roa's live stream. I want to see what that crazy brat is up to this time!"

Yesterday, the New World Times suddenly published a piece of news that once again shook the ocean.

The Calamity Roa will be holding a live stream to address the news from a few days ago, during which he will respond to the Navy's "great victory".

Although deeply shocked by the kid's madness, both the navy and the government were quite pleased.

Live streaming requires the use of Den Den Mushi, there's a chance to track down radio waves and perhaps even pinpoint Roa and the others' location!

Who would have thought that, when all hope seemed lost, the enemy would reveal their own weakness!

Soon, a Den Den Mushi) connected to the Marine Science Unit was placed on the empty desk. Next to this Den Den Mushi, a Transponder Snail lay quietly, also turned on, but its Den Den Mushi were closed because the broadcast channel had not yet received a signal.

He rested his elbows on the desk, interlaced his fingers, and kept his back straight.

Come on, Roa, show your weakness!

Please don't make the same decision as the Five Elders, and please don't just bluff!

He was definitely not the only one waiting.

In many countries of the New World, countless people flocked to the live broadcast equipment set up by the New World Times.

Outside of New World Times, in places where the New World couldn't set up live streaming equipment, some well-connected individuals started broadcasting, but most people were simply waiting for the newspaper's report.

Who wouldn't be curious?

What exactly will Roa say and do during this live stream?

Then, amidst the intense scrutiny of the world.

"Kachcha!"

The Transponder Snail suddenly opened its eyes and raised its head. Two beams of light shot from its two round eyeballs and landed on the white screen opposite it, whereupon an image quickly appeared.

"It's finally starting!"

Kong looked in high spirits.

Hey! Hello, world!

In the image projected by the Den Den Mushi, a black-haired boy greets you with a grin.

At that moment, the world was in an uproar.

Marine Science Unit.

"Let's begin! Confirm his whereabouts as quickly as possible!"

"Yes, Dr. Vegapunk!"

Paradise.

"It's starting! It really is Roa!"

"So young, really, still just a teenager!!"

The New World.

"So handsome! Even more handsome than in the wanted poster! Handsome and strong, I really want to have a sweet romance with him!"

"Don't talk nonsense. Do I need to elaborate on how insane this guy is? Everyone says he started this whole thing!"

"Roa was simply led astray by Rocks! Don't advise others to be good if you haven't experienced their suffering! Born a pirate, what can Roa do? He's definitely waiting for someone to save him!"

"Save your mother! Are you out of your mind?!"

Regardless, the world stirred for a moment, then fell silent. Everyone was waiting; the whole world was waiting for Roa's response!

In the video, Roa's smile is as warm as a spring breeze, his fair face with curved eyebrows, showing no trace of the tyranny and ferocity one would expect from a pirate with a bounty of 3 billion.

It's so beautiful!

Countless people from all over the world felt the same sentiment.

But what he said sent chills down everyone's spines.

"The Navy says they won, so let's see how they actually won."

Roa laughed and said, "No doubt about it, this is revenge. Everyone is angry about being fooled by stupid lies."

As he spoke, he probably turned the Den Den Mushi in his hand, and the Den Den Mushi's gaze shifted, pulling the Golden Lion, Kaido, Charlotte Linlin, Redfield, Ochoku, Silver Axe, Captain John, and others next to him into the screen.

Upon witnessing this scene, the entire world fell silent.

Only by seeing these monsters gathered together with your own eyes can you truly feel the terror emanating from them!

Also, according to Roa, was there a problem with the Navy's victory a few days ago?

This caused another uproar worldwide.

"Still being stubborn! The photos have already been released! Are you still trying to bluff?"

"Revenge? I'd like to see how he plans to retaliate!"

"What other retaliation can we take! We can't deal with the navy's fleet, so of course we can only vent our anger on an Affiliated Nation!"

"No! I'm in North Blue, please don't let it be our country!"

Meanwhile, in the Fleet Admiral's Office, Sora stared intently at the screen in front of him while picking up the Den Den Mushi and repeatedly asking, "Hasn't it been confirmed yet?"

"Almost there! Fleet Admiral Kong, the doctor said it'll take at most a minute!"

The person on the other end of the phone said.

"Okay! Let's hurry!"

Kong hadn't felt this nervous in a long time.

Frankly, even if we confirm Roa and the others' whereabouts, it doesn't necessarily mean we can do anything to them.

If the distance is too far, there's simply no way to get there in time.

But this truly is the only chance!

In the scene, Roa is stepping forward, saying, "Now, let us show the world what true victory looks like."

He turned around and looked at the group of monsters walking behind him. "Everyone, are you ready? Let's go!"

"Hahaha! Stop acting like you're the leader!"

The Golden Lion laughed heartily.

"Then, let's begin!"

Charlotte Linlin's eyes burned with fervor, "I can't wait any longer!"

"Then, let the revenge begin!"

Roa leaped forward.

The screen suddenly plummeted downwards!

Only then, through the Den Den Mushi's perspective, did people clearly see that Roa had jumped from an island floating in the sky! The Den Den Mushi had also captured a very clear image of the island's underside!

As Roa jumped down, the Golden Lion and the others quickly followed suit, leaping down from the same height.

Meanwhile, the Marine Science Unit...

The man with the enormous head, Vegapunk, beamed with delight. "Alright! Deciphering complete! Coordinates confirmed!"

Instantly, everyone around them wore expressions of extreme excitement.

Did we finally succeed?

Next, all we need to do is compare the coordinates with the nautical chart to confirm their exact location!

So, where is this coordinate located?

The Paramecia Brain-Brain Fruit granted Vegapunk unparalleled brain capacity; his brain contained countless pieces of knowledge, making a mere sea chart a piece of cake.

Therefore, Vegapunk confirmed the whereabouts of Roa and the others almost instantly.

So, his expression changed drastically in an instant, "How could it be there?!"

At Marine Headquarters, Sora stared intently at the image projected by the Den Den Mushi. Which country was about to suffer misfortune?

His fists clenched. "You bastards, you won't be arrogant for long!"

"Oh! Now that we can see it clearly, let's show everyone this place we're about to destroy."

Amidst the whistling wind, Roa laughed as he flipped the Den Den Mushi over. After a dizzying spin, the image projected onto the screen showed a vast ocean with an island in the center.

Upon seeing the island, the Fleet Admiral paused, then subconsciously rubbed his eyes. Was he seeing things?

"Fleet Admiral Kong!!"

At that moment, a hoarse voice came from the Den Den Mushi he was holding, "Marineford! Their target is Marineford!!"

Kong suddenly looked up.

So focused on the live stream that they didn't even notice the terrifying plumes of light falling from the sky!

Above the Marineford, several figures fell freely, crashing down like meteorites.

"If you know anything about this island, you should already recognize where you are, right?" Roa chuckled.

"Look at this iconic crescent-shaped harbor,"

As he spoke, he activated his Den Den Mushi again, pointing it at the enormous, sky-obscuring gate on the sea not far away. "And look at the Gate of Justice in the distance, haha, was this the one the captain broke down back then?"

The whole world was immediately in an uproar.

"Yes, yes, is it because Marineford?"

"Crescent Bay, the Gate of Justice, and the headquarters building that we can now clearly see! It's definitely Marine Headquarters!"

"Madmen! They're all lunatics! They actually intend to attack Marine Headquarters?"

At the same time, in the New World, at the Marine Headquarters Grand Fleet.

"Oh no!"

Sengoku, who was watching the live broadcast with the Five Elders, had a drastic change in Sengoku.

Only Brother Kong and a few Vice Admiral remained at headquarters!

"Saint Mars! We can't hesitate any longer, let the Knights of God be dispatched immediately!"

There's absolutely no way we can get back now!

Our only hope Knights of God!

Mars, Five Elders, turned ashen-faced.

Although Marineford is very close to Mary Geoise, it still takes time to get there!

For security reasons, the Marine Headquarters doesn't have teleportation magic circles!

After all, that place has never been attacked in eight hundred years!

Now, we're in big trouble!

Just as it was about to crash to the ground, a sudden gust of wind arose, carrying Roa and slowing it down as it descended.

He landed lightly on the plaza of Crescent Bay, the Marine Headquarters.

The others behind them also displayed their unique abilities. Golden Lion could fly, so he was naturally nonchalant. Charlotte Linlin sat on a cloud without a care in the world. Kaido the most straightforward, slamming his head directly into the ground next to him, causing the entire plaza to shake. Ochoku Red and the others were more down-to-earth, using Geppo to land safely.

Their arrival caused an instant uproar in the square, and the unsuspecting marines were almost scared to death.

"Enemy! Enemy! Enemy attack! It's the pirate alliance!!"

Accompanied by terrified screams, a piercing alarm instantly resounded throughout the entire island, and then, through the Den Den Mushi in Roa's hand, was transmitted to many parts of the world.

"Roa!!"

Amidst the furious roar, a figure suddenly burst through a window on the top floor of the massive headquarters building, hurtling towards them like a cannonball.

"Oh! So eager, huh?"

Roa chuckled and pointed the Den Den Mushi at the enraged man. "Come on, Fleet Admiral Kong, representing Marineford, representing all the Marines here, and finally..."

Let's say goodbye to this world.

I'm wondering if I should revise the earlier part about the Giant Kingdom, especially the relationship between Rocks and Harald.

PS2: I've slightly revised chapters seven through thirteen. If you're interested, you can go back and check if there are any inconsistencies. If not, it doesn't matter.

The main change was to the relationship between Rocks and Harald. Rocks was preparing to make one last attempt to win Harald over before the final operation began. The two were good friends, and Harald was a highly skilled fighter on par with Rocks. Therefore, this attempt posed no threat; it was simply a casual chat between the two after the failed attempt to win Harald over.

Then they revised Loki's story. It wasn't the first time he had met Rocks, nor the first time he had asked Rocks to let him aboard, but he was still refused.

Everything else remained unchanged.
