In the Whole Cake Island Sea, a ship is speeding forward.

"Hahaha! That woman, Charlotte Linlin, actually hid the stone in her bedroom!"

On the deck, Roger laughed heartily, waving a stack of papers triumphantly in his hand.

"But what could possibly stop me! I secretly lurked under her bed until midnight, and after she fell asleep, I made rubbings of all the road sign texts in one go!"

Roger's ears turned slightly red as he said this.

Charlotte Linlin is indeed as rumored to have a chaotic private life. She caused quite a commotion late at night, almost causing the bed to fall apart. She was nearly exposed because of this inexplicable reason!

"So, Roger,"

Rayleigh asked with great interest, "And how did you manage to expose yourself?"

"I don't know!"

Roger tilted his head, somewhat bewildered. "In my perception, no one should have noticed my presence!"

"But during my retreat, the Charlotte Family discovered me!"

"Could it be that there's someone in the Charlotte Family whose Observation Haki mine?!"

That shouldn't be the case.

There shouldn't be many people in the world with stronger Observation Haki than him.

"Anything is fine with me, Captain!!"

The Red Nose boy, peering back from the ship's railing, looked terrified; snot was gushing from his Red Nose.

"They've caught up!!"

Behind the large ship, above the sea.

The pursuers are on their way!

A woman in a pink dress rode on a dark cloud, rapidly pursuing Roger Pirates ship.

"Roger!! You bastard, stop right there!"

Charlotte Linlin was furious.

If Brulee hadn't accidentally caught a glimpse of Roger in the mirror, she probably wouldn't have known that Roger had infiltrated her palace!

There were still some ink stains on that red stone she kept secret; that bastard Roger had made a rubbing of the text on the stone!

Unforgivable!

Although the legend of the Great Treasure is mostly mythical, what if it were true?

If the legend is true, then the value of that stone is immeasurable!

Wasn't Roger after that rock?

Enraged, Charlotte Linlin turned on Roger with her children and began a hunt for Roger.

He has now completely shaken off his children and is pursuing them all by himself.

Roger! Stop right there!

Seeing the large ship on the sea ahead that was actually accelerating, Charlotte Linlin's anger intensified. She roared and swung her large sword.

"The Elbaf Spear - Ikoku Sovereignty!"

A massive shockwave roared out, transforming into a spear that pierced the heavens and the earth!

Faced with this enormous shockwave, Roger Pirates ship appeared tiny, seemingly about to be crushed in the next instant.

"Babble!!"

Buggy, who had been looking back, suddenly turned pale and screamed, "We're doomed! Captain! Help!"

"Don't look like you've never seen anything like this before, Buggy."

With a soft laugh, a figure leaped up from the ship's side.

"Axe Heaven Joy!"

Gaban leaped into the air, black Inazuma crackling from the twin axes in his hands. With a laugh, he swung the axes with all his might.

Two massive, intersecting slashes tore through the sky and collided violently with the oncoming shockwave.

Boom!

With a deafening roar, the massive explosion whipped up a gale that filled the ship's sails, propelling the large vessel forward at an even greater speed.

Time really flies.

Gaban landed lightly on the gunwale. He adjusted his small sunglasses and sighed sadly as he watched Charlotte Linlin chasing after him in the distance.

"Linlin, who was so beautiful back then, has become like this now."

Charlotte Linlin during her time with the Rocks Pirates —she was the dream girl of countless men on the sea!

How could things have changed so much in just a few years?

"But she actually dared to chase after us?"

Rayleigh walked over, his hand on the hilt of his sword, and chuckled, "Looks like we're being looked down upon."

"Roger, how about --"

"Ultimately, I stole her things, so let's not go too far!"

Roger grinned and leaped up, landing directly on the mast's crossbar. He took a deep breath.

"If they keep chasing us, we'll have to fight back, Charlotte Linlin!"

Charlotte Linlin, who was chasing after them on a dark cloud, suddenly stopped, her reason, which had been clouded by anger, returning to her brain.

She suddenly realized something!

We can't keep going!

If it really came down to war with the Roger Pirates, she and her Charlotte Family wouldn't stand a chance!

Roger, Rayleigh, Gaban —this trio of gold, silver, and bronze are all monsters among monsters. Even the weakest of them, Gaban, might not be someone she could defeat!

So--

The dark clouds stopped, and Charlotte Linlin floated in mid-air, her eyes wide with fury as she watched the ship gradually disappear into the distance.

"Roger!!"

She could only wreak havoc in rage.

On the deck of a seagoing vessel.

"Phew--finally they stopped chasing after us!"

After confirming Buggy times that Charlotte Linlin had finally stopped the pursuit, Bucky couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead.

Then, the fear on the Red Nose boy's face vanished instantly, replaced by a smug look. He put his hands on his hips and shouted,

"Hmph! So you finally understand who's in charge? If you dare to pursue her, I'll sink her into the sea!"

No one reacted to this; everyone knew exactly what kind of person Buggy was.

Fortunately, Buggy has a good brother.

Shanks, with his red hair, said with amusement, "Buggy, you were terrified when you shouldn't have been, but now that you should be worried, why are you so smug?"

"Huh? Worried?"

Buggy looked completely bewildered. "What do you mean? Didn't they stop catching up?"

"The real danger has only just begun."

"Charlotte Linlin will not let this go," Rayleigh said.

"Now we'll see just how strong the cohesion of their alliance really is."

Gaban sighed as well.

"Huh?"

Sweat began to seep back onto Buggy's forehead.

Yes!

Charlotte Linlin has a pirate alliance behind her!

Golden Lion, Roa, Kaido, Ochoku...

Those monsters were all her allies!

Just thinking about it made Buggy's legs tremble uncontrollably.

"Hahaha! We'll meet force with force and water with earth!"

Roger just laughed heartily, "Anyway, we're still missing two stones!"

He turned around and met the gaze of the white-haired woman holding her daughter.

The woman nodded slightly at him.

This is their shared dream.

Meanwhile, Cake Island.

"Damn Roger!!"

Charlotte Linlin roared angrily as she grabbed a Den Den Mushi and started dialing.

"Don't think this is over! I'll make you pay!"

I'm no match for you by myself, but I can call for help!

Egghead Island.

Roa and his group did not leave the island immediately.

Although Roa didn't care much about the factories on the island, they were actually quite useful.

The equipment in these factories is highly technological; even the Germa Kingdom would need to put in a lot of effort to produce the same quality.

Therefore, we should definitely make use of these waste materials.

Roa plans to transform this place into a large production base.

All we need to do is modify the machinery and then bring in some immigrants.

The scientists of the Germa Kingdom are now directing the clone soldiers in a massive transformation project.

As for Chief Scientist Judge, he claimed to have made progress in his research on Artificial Devil Fruit and plunged into the laboratory. Given his style, he probably won't come out until he has achieved results.

Previously, seeing Judge's somewhat thin but still headlong into the laboratory, Roa couldn't help but think, "Why don't I just give him the Vampire Fruit?"

Roa had thought about this many times, especially after seeing Judge's expression, which suggested he might suddenly die at any moment.

The importance of Judge to the Calamity Company goes without saying. To this day, Roa still believes that leaving the Land of Endless War and immediately going to find Judge was the best decision he ever made.

But then Roa thought again that Judge with Mythical Zoan would be too wasteful.

When I go to Wano Country, I'll ask Hanafusa, that guy who likes to collect Ancient Zoan, if he has any in stock.

At this moment, Roa was watching Dylan train Loki with great interest.

Loki got a real beating from Abel before.

His pride in his strength was utterly meaningless in the face of Abel's indestructible body.

But Abel's flames could burn him so intensely that he screamed in agony.

After suffering the humiliation of a crushing defeat, Loki resolved to work hard, wanting to learn Haki as quickly as possible and then take revenge.

Roa was very pleased with this. Loki had the potential to reach the top, and now, with his indomitable will, his future was limitless!

Just as I was marveling at its limitless potential, the Den Den Mushi) rang, completely oblivious to my romantic mood.

Who is it?

Roa answered the phone with great interest.

There aren't many people in this world who have his phone number.

"It's me!"

An angry voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Oh? Aunt Linlin?"

Roa's interest was piqued even more. "What, has something interesting happened?"

This aunt wouldn't contact him for no reason.

Something really bad must have happened.

"I'm giving you a channel. Come in right now, I have something very important to discuss with everyone!"

With that, Charlotte Linlin dropped a Den Den Mushi channel and hung up.

Yeah?

Is it really necessary to discuss this with everyone?

That seems to indicate something serious has happened.

Roa initially thought Charlotte Linlin had gone to the Sorbet Kingdom in the South Blue, but she didn't find the bear.

It seems something even more interesting has happened.

Adhering to the principle of "the more the merrier," Roa manipulated Den Den Mushi to enter the communication channel left behind by Charlotte Linlin.

"So, what exactly happened?"

Just then, Ochoku's voice came through the Den Den Mushi.

The so-called communication channel is actually a group chat, which allows many people who enter the channel to chat happily together.

At this point, there were already people in the channel.

Who knows?

Captain John's voice rang out, "Linlin seems to be in some trouble."

"Did the government take action against her?"

Then came Silver Axe's voice, "But wait, in terms of threat, the first target would definitely be Shiki or Roa, but geographically speaking, John, you're the best target."

"So it's not World Government."

John said calmly, accompanied by the sound of gulping down his drink.

"Linlin! What exactly are you trying to say? I don't have much time to waste!"

Kaido's voice rang out, and like the others, he seemed confused about the situation.

"Linlin probably hasn't come in yet,"

Ochoku casually said, "Of course, I'm also very curious about what she's trying to say."

"Hahaha! Perhaps she has some big deal to make. So, is everyone here?"

The Golden Lion's laughter echoed.

"Is Aunt Linlin the only one missing?"

Roa spoke leisurely.

"I'm here!"

The group chat initiator's voice rang out, "Now that everyone's here, I'll just get straight to the point!"

"Just now, that bastard Roger attacked Cake Island!"

Roger? X5

Almost instantly, five voices rang out simultaneously: King Shikido, the Silver Axe John, all with the same urgency and astonishment.

Forehead--

Roa's lips twitched slightly. Did this make him seem out of place?

Roger?

So he asked, somewhat surprised, "For what? Roger isn't the kind of guy who would start a war without a reason."

Was it for the stone Charlotte Linlin was holding?

In other words, Roger already had two stones?

Roa narrowed his eyes.

So, did Roger have a terminal illness?

I don't think I saw Crocus when I passed by Reverse Mountain last time.

Is it time?

Roa's smile silently grew unrestrained.

I've been waiting for this for so long, has this day finally arrived?

"Roa is right, so Linlin,"

The Golden Lion's voice rang out again, tinged with a hint of interest, "Why did Roger attack you?"

"You don't need to worry about that, they're all after my treasure!"

Charlotte Linlin, being quite possessive of her possession, didn't explain the meaning of the stone in her hand to everyone. She simply said angrily, "That bastard Roger is still too dangerous! Roa has already driven Whitebeard away, are you going to let Roger roam the New World?"

"Silver Axe, the Roger Pirates are already heading towards your territory. What, are you going to pretend you didn't see it?"

"This..."

Silver Axe was speechless.

After all, the Roger Pirates were indeed too dangerous.

After the Rocks Pirates were wiped out, there is no pirate crew in the world that can compare with them.

"Ultimately, it's because you felt wronged, so you want us to help you get revenge, right, Linlin?"

Ochoku's voice carried a hint of amusement, "But this isn't the attitude of asking for help, Linlin. Roa is right, Roger isn't the kind of guy who would cause trouble for others without warning. If he wanted to go to your territory, he must have passed through other people's territories as well, but he didn't launch an attack, did he?"

"Ochoku is right,"

Captain John spoke up calmly, "They're asking us to fight monsters like the Roger Pirates without any real knowledge. Who will bear the risks? Who will pay for the losses? What if we die in the battle against Roger?"

Roa almost laughed when he heard this.

Everyone is so united!

As I said before, if there are no shared interests, who will bother with you?

The existence of the Roger Pirates was indeed a risk, but was there no risk in going to war with Roger Pirates?

"You bunch of bastards! Fine, what do you want?"

Charlotte Linlin gritted her teeth and cursed, already prepared to bleed.

"No, I'll pass."

However, Captain John stated directly, "I have a lot of things to do on my own turf right now; I don't have time to travel thousands of miles to fight Roger."

He was well aware of his own strength; in terms of power, he was the weakest of the seven. If he were to actually fight the Roger Pirates, it would likely be his unlucky moment. Even if it was just a possibility, he was unwilling to take the risk.

He spoke, and Ochoku quickly followed, "Me too, but if Roger comes this way, I can help you find out their whereabouts, Linlin."

This might be a good opportunity!

Linlin, let's recruit a few more guys! Then go and fight Roger to the death!

"Me too!"

Silver Axe spoke eagerly.

"A bunch of cowards! One Roger is enough to scare them to this extent?"

Charlotte Linlin angrily berated them, but Ochoku and the other two completely ignored her and didn't respond at all.

So Charlotte Linlin had no choice but to call out, "Kaido, you bastard, you're not going to refuse me too, are you? That's Roger! And don't forget, you still owe me a favor!"

"You old hag! Why are you bringing this up from so long ago!"

Kaido somewhat annoyed.

"What? You brat, are you going to be ungrateful?"

"Hmph! Let's make this clear first, Roger is mine," Kaido snorted.

"Hahaha! What a joke! Roger is my prey!"

The influential figure spoke up, "Linlin, I can help, but afterwards, the Charlotte Family's intelligence network must be shared with me!"

The Charlotte Family's intelligence capabilities are unparalleled in the entire New World.

Of course, this is based on the premise that Roa's intelligence system has not been exposed.

"..."

Charlotte Linlin paused for a moment, then without much hesitation, said, "Okay."

"That's the last one,"

The Golden Lion's voice carried a hint of amusement, "Roa, what do you say?"

"Roger? That sounds interesting,"

Roa smiled and said, "Then count me in."

"Excellent!"

Charlotte Linlin's voice was excited.

With Kaido, Shiki, Roa, and her, even without those three idiots Ochoku, their combined strength is more than enough to crush the Roger Pirates!

"But, Aunt Linlin,"

Roa said with great interest, "As a condition, how about I build a few factories in the Totto Land? Homies weapons, that sounds like a lot of potential, doesn't it?"

"I agree!"

Charlotte Linlin didn't hesitate at all; Roa's offer was nothing compared to the Golden Lion.

Thus, the Anti- Roger Alliance was formed!
