Back to the New World! Elbaf!

"Am am am!"

"Tun ton ton ton ton ton!"

On the platform behind the snail, two giants are eating and drinking without any restraint.

The mountains of food, and the other mountains of wine barrels, were being decimated at a visible rate.

"Not enough! We need more food!"

Brogy held up a huge bone from some unknown creature, spewing bits of meat from his mouth as he shouted.

"Alcohol too!"

Crushing an empty barrel of liquor in his hand, Dorry urged loudly, "Even without food, we can't be without liquor!"

Roa, who was calmly fishing nearby, didn't even turn his head. "Give them to them."

So the clone soldiers brought more food and wine, which immediately tempted the two giants.

"Gah bah bah! Then we won't be polite!"

"Hehehehehe! Why be polite with the enemy! After eating dinosaurs and fish for seventy years, it's finally time for a change of pace!"

The two continued to enjoy their meal.

On the back of another snail not far away, a panting Teach wiped his sweat and looked towards the giants. "Hahaha, so they can't beat the boss, so they're planning to eat all our food as revenge?"

"They're going to be disappointed, hehe, Boss's food isn't what they expected!"

"They're impressive for finishing it all."

Beside Teach, Doflamingo was also somewhat tired from the intense training, but he still mustered his spirits and mocked, "The one thing we don't lack is food. How many people in the entire fleet are actually qualified to eat?"

"That's true!"

Teach burst out laughing instantly.

Should I say, as expected of Roa?

In terms of being utterly inhuman, they are truly at the pinnacle of inhumanity.

First and foremost, it's important to understand that the Snail Fleet always has a large food supply.

However, all the ordinary residents of this country, as well as the Clone soldiers who were created—all the main inhabitants—are not entitled to eat proper food.

Roa thought it was too wasteful.

Their food was a special kind of pill named "Ration Pill" by Roa, who was also Judge's second-in-command and head, and a pharmacologist named Nightin.

It can provide the human body with a large amount of various forms of energy, and can basically completely replace food.

Of course, since it is essentially a medicine, it will cause a slight side effect on the digestive system.

But the quantity is large and plentiful, especially after the production line was completed, the production cost of the Ration Pill has become so low that it is astonishing.

Currently, within the entire Calamity Company, only the Calamity Company's executives and the scientists under Judge are qualified to eat normal human food.

With abundant food reserves and surprisingly low consumption, these two giants could eat as much as they wanted without much trouble.

So what Teach and Doflamingo saw in the end was that the two Titans' bellies were completely bulging, and even though they were struggling to swallow each bite, they were still desperately stuffing food into their mouths.

It seems they genuinely intend to retaliate against Roa by consuming the food supplies provided by the Calamity Company.

"Hey kid! Stop looking around!"

Bege's shouts and curses came from behind.

Teach turned around with a grin and saw Bege kick Enel away.

Listen up! No matter how powerful your Devil Fruit!

Bege, her belly no less impressive than Teach's, said coldly, "Without powerful physical skills as a foundation, it's all just castles in the air; you'll never become a true powerhouse!"

Enel, with a somewhat wolfish glint in his eyes, got up from the ground, gave Bege a deep look, and then silently nodded. "I understand."

"Bege is actually giving a serious lecture!"

Doflamingo chuckled, "He's only good at bullying that brat Enel, and even then, he has to rely on Seastone."

"Hahaha! I'm really looking forward to Enel's future!"

Teach's eyes were full of mockery.

Enel isn't exactly a peaceful kid either.

That's a jackal too!

Once he gains enough power, Bege will be in trouble.

No, in fact, it should be said that if his power surpasses mine, he will definitely come to retaliate immediately!

But it doesn't matter.

Thief, hahaha!

Isn't that true for everyone?

A day later, the large fleet arrived in front of a huge mountain.

"Oh! Is this Reverse Mountain?"

Looking up at the truly towering, cloud-piercing mountain in front of him, Roa thought, "It's magnificent."

The part above the halfway point was completely shrouded in clouds and mist; this must be the highest peak in the world, right?

"Are you planning to cross this bridge and go straight to the end of the New World?"

Behind Roa, the giant Brogy, who had come to join the fun, mumbled between burps, "With these snails?"

Beside him was Dorry, who had visibly gained weight; his size was now approaching Brogy of Brogy, who was practically a ball.

The two haven't given up on the idea of taking revenge by eating all the food.

Don't underestimate them!

Roa touched his foot.

Then, the giant snails rumbled forward and began to climb up the sloping mountain wall.

At the same time, a long, drawn-out cry suddenly rang out from the edge of the Red Line not far away.

Roa looked in the direction of the sound and saw a huge whale calling out to the towering mountain wall that resembled the Wall of Sighs.

Roa raised the corners of his mouth.

Just wait patiently, but judging from the current developments, you probably won't see it in your lifetime.

The Giant Snail climbed steadily and slowly, and soon they had carried everyone into the clouds.

After passing through this cloud and mist, the summit of Reverse Mountain will be clearly visible.

There, a misty haze hung in the air, and under the sunlight, it blossomed into a brilliant rainbow.

"You really made it up?"

Dorry looked around in surprise, while simultaneously taking a couple of sips of wine.

To be honest, they've never seen the scenery from the top of Reverse Mountain before.

Seventy years ago, the Giant Soldier Pirates mostly operated on the Grand Line. When they occasionally went to the Four Seas, they would go directly through the Calm Belt. After all, both captains were ruthless people who could fight giant Sea Beast the size of mountains with their bare hands in the sea. The lairs of Sea Beast were nothing more than that to them.

Soon, the Giant Snail arrived at the summit of Reverse Mountain.

It was clearly the summit of a high mountain, yet huge waves were surging within it.

The waterways extending from the East Blue, South Blue, West Blue North Blue Sea converge here, and then forcefully merge into the waterway leading to the Grand Line.

The colliding waters and surging waves create a truly magnificent scene.

The snail at Roa's feet climbed to the very top of the mountain, from where one could see an endless sea of clouds.

And beyond the sea of clouds lies New World.

Standing on high ground overlooking the distance, Roa couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement and wanted to utter, "I'm the king of..."

"There are snails! Why are there snails here!"

On one side, along what appears to be a waterway extending from the South Blue, a pirate ship is rapidly ascending.

Those on deck noticed the Giant Snail perched atop the mountain.

Therefore, the pirates' expressions were completely distorted.

"Wait! This snail is a..."

"Death penalty!"

Roa glared angrily at the ship.

How dare they interrupt my enjoyment!

Is there any other ending besides death?

Then.

Boom!

Fiery magma erupted from the rock walls on both sides of the waterway!

Two small volcanoes erupted.

Before they could even scream, the unfortunate pirate ship was smashed to pieces by the overwhelming downpour of lava.

"That feels good."

Roa slowly let out a sigh of relief.

Behind him, Dorry and Brogy both wore expressions of profound gravity.

Besides thunder and fire, is there magma?

This guy's abilities pose a huge threat to Elbaf!

But this guy's personality didn't care what the giants thought, and the snails began to descend along the steep cliff face on the back of the Reverse Mountain.

Upon arriving on this side of the New World, the weather suddenly changed again. On the way down, torrential rain, scorching sun, lightning, heavy snow, thunderstorms, and all sorts of catastrophic weather events struck in turn.

And.

"That's just right!"

Roa raised the corners of his mouth.

I always say the climate at the Paradise isn't warm enough.

Not only him, but the expressions of the two giants also became somewhat nostalgic.

They were also born and raised in this sea area, and these disastrous weather conditions do indeed make them feel nostalgic.

They're finally back.

Although it was Roa who forced me to do it!

Next up is Elbaf!

Harald! If it's you, it shouldn't be a problem, right?

A few days later.

"Oh! Is everything all done?"

Roa, holding Den Den Mushi), strolled across an abandoned island.

The company's executives followed behind him, and further back were two giants, both looking around with equally curious expressions.

"Yes, Boss,"

Abel's voice, tinged with excitement, came from the other end of the phone. "All the countries of the White Sea and the White White Sea have submitted to us!"

There are a total of 23 inhabited islands, with a total population of approximately two million.

"Is it really two million?"

Roa was indeed somewhat surprised by this.

It's amazing that so many people can be fed in the sky, where resources are scarce.

If I remember correctly, the number of crops that can be grown on islands formed by Island Cloud is very limited.

"That's true."

Abel said, "Boss, is there anything else I need to do?"

That's all for now.

"Roa said."

Until a stable means of transportation connects the Sky Island to the Blue Sea, the White Sea and the White White Sea are temporarily of little use.

Unfortunately, Judge didn't know much about meteorology and couldn't directly build a floating ship like the Mini Sky Island of Visalia.

After all, he's not as versatile as Vegapunk.

So, when I have time later, I'll have to go to Visalia to learn from their experience.

Before that -

-

"Let the Skypieans collect the seashells; they're quite interesting."

Roa smiled and said, "As for you, Abel, come back. We're going to Elbaf next, and you don't want to miss it, do you?"

"Of course, Boss!"

Abel said excitedly, "I'll come back to meet you as soon as I've arranged everything!"

"Hmm, let's hand over Sky Island to that guy from Birka!"

"Yes!"

The call has ended.

So, that's it? They've already taken care of that whole sky?

Among the cadres, Moria pursed his lips.

What a terrifying fellow, Abel!

Roa is indeed an incredibly terrifying guy, but Bullet and Abel, his two right-hand Roa, are also true monsters!

"But there really isn't anything on this island?"

Standing atop the highest stone mountain on this desolate island, Roa looked down upon the entire island. "An island at the edge of the New World, so utterly unremarkable."

This is Water Seven Island, the last island reached along the Grand Line by the Log Pose.

It is the end of the New World, and naturally, the end of the Grand Line.

However, it is an island with absolutely nothing.

No wonder that for eight hundred years no one has taken the legendary Great Treasure seriously.

They searched inch by inch along the New World, finally finding this final island, but found nothing. Anyone would just laugh off that rumor.

Until he encountered Roger, that dreadful guy with a twisted personality.

Let's go.

Roa smiled and said, "There's no need to stay here."

The Snail Fleet set sail again, heading straight towards Elbaf.

Along the way, the fleet passed several islands, and without exception, the Flying Pirates' flag had been planted in the ports of these islands.

It seems the Flying Pirates' expansion is going very smoothly.

Just as Roa was sighing like this, in the sky above this sea area...

"Hahaha! Has that kid returned to the New World?"

Golden Lion laughed heartily, "Judging from this direction, they came back directly over the Reverse Mountain? That's typical of him!"

"Admiral,"

At this moment, the man sitting below him, Skullcrusher Hyde, the strongest officer of the Flying Pirates, said with some worry, "Besides you, Roa is the strongest in the pirate alliance! His subordinates are a collection of monsters! Moreover, his potential..."

"Hyde, what are you trying to say?"

The Golden Lion watched him with great interest.

"Admiral, shouldn't we do something?"

Hyde gritted his teeth and finally spoke, "We can't just stand by and watch Roa expand and let him continue to grow, can we? While the Admiral used to see Roa as his successor, that feeling shouldn't be there anymore, right?"

After all, Roa has already earned the right to be on equal footing with him, and the Calamity Company is now a true competitor to the Flying Pirates!

"Hahaha! You're right!"

As expected, the Golden Lion did not punish him; instead, he smiled and spoke.

But before Hyde could even breathe a sigh of relief, the Golden Lion continued.

"But now is not the time."

"Are you worried that Roa and others will put pressure on you?"

"No! It's because I want to see how that kid is going to deal with Harald!"

Harald, that bastard is a ruthless character that even Rocks could only covet but could do nothing about!

Thus, to the Golden Lion's anticipation, the Snail Fleet successfully sailed out of this sea area and entered the territory occupied by Ochoku.

However, Roa was too lazy to greet them, and Ochoku didn't bother him either; the fleet continued to sail quietly forward.

Many days later, the fleet finally entered the territory that nominally belonged to Roa.

Then.

The island, covered by a giant tree, finally came into view.

Elbaf, we've arrived.
