Ginny's Thanks! Ascending to the Moon

The Calamity City has begun to shift.

This enormous floating Sky Island soared directly into the higher reaches of the sky.

And so it flew out of that Blue Star, into the cosmos, and towards that bright, clear moon.

In Roa's previous world, this would have been absolutely impossible to achieve.

Even clouds floating in the sky have their limits; they certainly can't drift beyond the world.

Even if you add thrusters to the clouds, it won't make a difference.

But the world is different.

Air exists in the universe of this world. Enel was able to cross the Milky Way and reach the moon in his dilapidated Ark Maxim, Dr. Tsukimi's robots could even do the same with balloons.

Compared to these two, the Calamity City that Roa was traveling in was simply too advanced and too magnificent.

The news of the trip to the moon quickly spread among the cadres.

So when the Calamity City was about to break free from the pull of gravity and enter the cosmos, and Roa arrived at the edge of the Calamity City to enjoy the view of the stars, the cadres all arrived.

"Hahaha! Boss!"

Teach's strange laughter cut through the air. "Even the ocean can't satisfy you anymore, so you're going to set your journey to the stars and the sea?"

"The stars and the sea?"

Loki burst into laughter, "That sounds amazing! In the vast expanse of space, there can't possibly be civilizations only on the moon and the Blue Star!"

"The stars and the sea are certainly much more vast and boundless, and of course contain many more things that are beyond our imagination."

Roa raised the corners of his mouth.

This is indeed a man's romance.

"But it's too early."

Let's take a look at the Blue Sea below first. Oh, isn't that Imu?

Let's deal with that guy first, then we can talk about conquering the ancient star road and becoming the Great Emperor.

"However, I never imagined that I could leave this world and travel to the stars so easily!"

Doflamingo looked up, and the dark starry sky was now clearly visible.

Looking in all directions, one can now vaguely see the outline of the world.

"It's simply because you've never thought of it that way."

Roa said calmly, "If the Birka people were able to reach the Blue Star back then, why can't we go to the moon?"

"Moon!"

Even Enel, who had become somewhat withdrawn after being severely beaten earlier, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Can we finally go back to the Endless Vearth?"

His hometown, the place where it all began!

Can we finally go back?

I can't wait!

Bege's eyes lit up. "All the stories begin with the Birka people! And what did they leave behind on the moon?!"

Don't have too high expectations.

Abel also felt a bit apprehensive about returning home, said, "The Birka people were forced to migrate because of resource depletion. What valuable things could they have left behind?"

At least the factories that were difficult to relocate should have stayed, right?

Can we glean insights into the processing techniques of the Birka people from those places?

Since we couldn't find the Great Hammer Clan, we had to focus our efforts on that aspect.

Roa thought to himself.

It was around this time that Sky City gradually left the Blue Star.

They have fully entered the universe.

Gravity could no longer hold them back, and they all floated up.

"Wow! This is really interesting!"

Teach laughed heartily, "The earth can no longer bind us! Now the stars are speaking to us!"

"Hey, look down there!!"

Bege exclaimed in surprise.

So everyone looked down from the edge of the large ship.

What you see is the whole world.

The dominant color is a deep blue, the very sea that gave them life, with a huge shadow stretching across it, the Red Line that runs through the entire world.

The Red Line is dotted with islands of all sizes, and patches of cloud seas adorn the ocean like white veils, adding a touch of ethereal beauty to the world.

Looking around, the edge of the world shimmered with an inexplicable radiance.

Everyone held their breath.

They were born into this world, grew up in this world, but only now are they truly seeing this world.

Moria was utterly shocked.

This is the world!

Is that vast and boundless world currently beneath their feet?

He then raised his head.

But now, what lies before us is an even wider ocean!

Even Roa couldn't help but feel admiration at this moment.

The world is truly beautiful.

Yes, it's just lacking a touch of black aura as an embellishment.

"Hahaha! I never thought I'd see such a view in my lifetime!"

Teach laughed heartily, "Boss, one day we'll be traversing the stars, right?"

Roa just smiled.

"Perfect timing, Boss got Pure Gold!"

Bege was also a little excited, "If that's the case, then even traveling through the boundless starry sky isn't impossible!"

The fact that they had obtained a large amount of Pure Gold was no secret to most people.

"So, Boss, can that stuff called Pure Gold really extend a person's lifespan to such an exaggerated degree?"

Doflamingo was still somewhat incredulous.

Is immortality really that easy to achieve?

"Doflamingo, are you questioning me?"

Roa raised an eyebrow.

"No! Of course I wouldn't dare, Boss!"

Doflamingo quickly said, "I just can't believe it!"

He wasn't the only one who couldn't believe it.

Who would believe it? Just like that, as long as they aren't killed, their lifespans could be increased hundreds of times.

"The kids can't use it yet."

Roa simply chuckled.

It will affect growth and development.

Although it has only been two or three days, Judge has already reached an initial conclusion on his research on Pure Gold: people who bathe in the light of gold age at only one four-hundredth of the average person.

What does that mean?

Even an ordinary person who can only live to seventy can easily live to be twenty or thirty thousand years old.

Of course, this is in theory. After all, a kid like Doflamingo who is not fully developed cannot wear Pure Gold, otherwise he would have to spend thousands of years growing up.

Roa simply doesn't have that kind of patience.

However, if it's just a matter of extending lifespan by four hundred times, Roa can still accept it.

Compared to him, even if someone is tens of thousands of years old, or even a giant like Loki bathed in Pure Gold light who can live for hundreds of thousands of years, what does it matter?

If it's not eternal, then it's too short-lived.

No one can truly be considered equal to him, so it doesn't matter to Roa.

"Dylan can be used first."

Roa turned around.

The head steward of the Calamity Company, who is over forty years old this year, already has quite a few gray hairs.

"However, it's important to note that after being bathed in the golden light, regular exercise will become much less effective."

Roa continued.

Olga's terminal illness could be slowed down by using Pure Gold. With the rate of physical change already extremely slowed down, it would take four hundred times the original effort to make her body stronger through exercise.

Hmm, now that I think about it, isn't this Koby's divine equipment?

"In that case, I don't mind."

Dylan laughed and said, "My body has already reached its limit; it's almost impossible to go any further."

Everyone has their own limits.

Dylan, on the other hand, believed he had already reached his limit.

The reason he has been able to advance further over the years is purely because he obtained an Ancient Zoan Devil Fruit and learned more advanced Haki techniques from the Boss.

Pure Gold is indeed very suitable for me, so that I can serve the Boss for a longer period of time.

"That's fine too."

Roa nodded slightly.

Putting everything else aside, Dylan is indeed a very good subordinate; having him around has saved me a lot of trouble.

Let him serve you until the end of his life.

In any case, the Calamity Company has already broken out of the Blue Star and reached the sea of stars.

Then.

Roa smiled. "Should we go back and try the little cake?"

There's a unique kind of fun to be had in the universe.

At the same moment, in the palace atop the tower in the center of the Calamity City.

This is a bathhouse.

Ginny sat there blankly in the steamy bath.

A beautiful catgirl was carefully washing Ginny's hair, while another little rabbit was scrubbing Ginny's body.

Without gravity, even something as easy as this becomes somewhat difficult.

Fortunately, Roa had given prior instructions, so the maids used a bubble generator to create some bubbles to encapsulate the water and prevent it from dispersing, which was enough to allow for normal washing.

Ginny showed no reaction, remaining motionless like a wooden or clay sculpture, as if her inner self had long since died, leaving only her beautiful shell alive.

Kozuki Toki floated outside the bathtub, quietly watching Ginny.

The green-haired woman's exquisite face held a hint of wistfulness.

Another poor soul captured by the demon Roa, about to fall into hell.

How many people in the world are suffering terribly because of Roa's existence?

Why would this world give birth to such monsters?

However, she couldn't resist him.

Sooner or later, Roa will likely use his malice to devour the entire world.

Kozuki Toki sighed softly.

Will it happen?

Surely there will be someone who steps forward to stop Roa?

The person Joy Boy is waiting for will surely appear, right?

However, there's nothing I can do right now.

We have no choice but to obey.

So when Roa slowly floated back to his palace, he saw Kozuki Toki standing by the bed as always, and Ginny, who had changed into a new outfit and was still sitting blankly on the bed.

"Oh, it looks brand new! You've worked hard, Shi."

Roa nodded in satisfaction.

Although she still had that same stern face, she looked quite charming after washing up and changing into new clothes.

Kozuki Toki didn't speak, but simply lowered his eyes.

What can I say?

Should one feel grateful for being praised for aiding and abetting evil?

Roa's nose twitched slightly.

He immediately raised the corners of his mouth.

Or perhaps, with three thousand beauties in the imperial harem, all the emperor's favor would be Kozuki Toki upon her?

Besides her, who else could continuously provide me with high-quality dark energy?

But.

Roa floated in front of Ginny, reached out and pinched the woman's thin chin, forcibly lifting her face.

There was still no black aura emanating from her body.

That won't do.

Shouldn't you say thank you?

Roa began to speak with great interest.

Thanks?

Kozuki Toki lowered his head even further.

She knew that Roa was about to begin his favorite part again.

This monster prefers to torment others on a psychological level rather than physically.

Ginny just stared blankly at Roa, without saying a word.

"After all, if it weren't for me, Xiong wouldn't be able to live such a peaceful life now."

Roa smiled and said, "Aunt Linlin, Charlotte Linlin is the one I asked to go to the Sorbet Kingdom. She has always longed to obtain the bloodline of the Bakaria Tribe, so I told her about your affairs in the Sorbet Kingdom."

"..."

Ginny's pupils suddenly trembled.

The next instant, the woman's beautiful face was filled with extreme ferocity, "It's you! It's all you!!"

No longer caring why this man knew their whereabouts, she desperately tried to tear at Roa's face with both hands, but unfortunately, no matter how hard she tried, her long nails could hardly leave any mark on Roa Ya's indestructible face.

Then came the tears, large tears streaming down the woman's face, as she roared almost hoarsely, "Why did you do this! We have no grudge against you!"

"This kind of thing? Isn't it good now?"

Roa laughed and said, "In the Totto Land, he no longer has to worry about being hunted down by the World Government, and no one will harm him because of bloodlines. Xiong will even have his own child soon, and my Aunt Linlin values him very much. Isn't this kind of life better than living a precarious life in anonymity?"

"Do you really want him to live with you, constantly facing the possibility of being discovered by the World Government and dragged back into slavery? Ginny, it's best not to be so selfish."

"No! No! That's not how it works!!"

Ginny's pupils constricted sharply. "Bear Cub was forced! The person he truly loves is me!"

"Don't you understand yet? Do you know why the bear rejected you time and time again, and even chose to stay in the Totto Land?"

Roa laughed and said, "Because he doesn't want to be a burden to you. Separating is a good thing for both of you. Aunt Linlin and I went along with his wishes. On the contrary, it's you who kept trying to force him. Isn't that going too far?"

"He doesn't want to be a burden to you, but you want to be a burden to him. That's going too far."

"Shut up! Shut up!"

Ginny desperately tried to cover Roa's mouth, but unfortunately, Roa's arms were longer than hers, and even with her arms slightly outstretched, she couldn't touch Roa's face.

"Isn't it a bit inappropriate to resist me now?"

Roa said slowly, "Aunt Linlin and I are allies. It's very easy for me to suggest changing the bears' treatment. You don't want to..."

"..."

Ginny stopped abruptly, her eyes filled with terror as she looked at Roa. "No! No! You can't do this!!"

"That's right, wouldn't it have been better to do this sooner?"

Roa gently stroked Ginny's smooth, delicate cheek, and said with a smile, "Now, can you say thank you to me? Your beloved bear can live a good life; you deserve a thank you, right?"

If I hadn't taken pity on you, do you even realize how miserable your future would have been for this ill-fated couple?

Aren't you going to say thank you Roa?

Ginny was trembling all over, her face flushed and pale at different times, and her gaze toward Roa was extremely complex, a palette of hatred, fear, resentment, and despair.

How could there be such a vicious man in the world!

Just how far does he intend to torture people?

Kozuki Toki silently clenched her fists. Just as I thought, just as I thought!

Ginny finally lowered her head in despair, her straight spine slumping.

She slowly parted her red lips.

"Thank you, thank you..."

"Um!"

Roa nodded in satisfaction.

Now it will be absolutely delicious!

That's why it's Ginny; she's similar to Kozuki Toki in that she's someone who can provide high-quality, delicious black energy for a long time!

Five ants!

The Solitary Gourmet, Roa Goro, is about to eat!

A few days later, the Calamity City slowly descended onto a barren lunar surface.

So, where are the ruins of Birka?
