Crustal Shift! Birka Ruins! A Stunning Discovery!

The Calamity City floated in mid-air, while Roa and his officers landed on a desolate lunar surface.

"This land is utterly dead!"

Teach stomped on the ground and felt it was soft and loose, just a layer of pale sand.

Looking into the distance, all one could see was a gray and white expanse, devoid of any life.

"That is why our ancestors abandoned their homeland and went to the Blue Star."

Abel's tone also carried a hint of complexity.

Back then, Birka's technology had reached an unimaginable level of prosperity, but precisely because of this, the overexploitation of lunar resources ultimately led this planet, which had nurtured a brilliant civilization, to its demise.

It was only then that the Birka people realized that there were problems in the world that even their science and technology could not solve.

Therefore, they had no choice but to leave.

That was a very, very long time ago, so long ago that the moon is now a desolate wasteland, with no trace of the Birka people left behind.

"Endless Vearth,"

Enel, who was only ten years old this year, felt his eyes inexplicably sting. "Is this what it looks like?"

1

All that could be seen were sores and phlegm.

Only the earth.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Roa merely raised the corners of his mouth. "Civilization? Life? They are nothing more than insignificant embellishments in the near-eternal ages of these stars!"

"Greatness or insignificance, it's all just a story from the past on this planet. Sooner or later, the name Birka will fade into oblivion, and the traces they left behind will be buried in history. But this planet will continue to exist."

Everyone was taken aback by his words.

Then Loki suddenly burst into laughter, "What an interesting argument! It's true, the Birka people think they destroyed their home planet, but the planet is still here!"

"Indeed,"

Abel couldn't help but smile, suddenly realizing that all his lamentations were completely unnecessary. "Humans are such arrogant creatures. We always think we've changed the world, but in reality, to the world, everything is insignificant."

Even the war eight hundred years ago, which was said to have nearly destroyed the world, could only destroy what was visible to humankind.

"However, there are exceptions,"

"For example," Roa said matter-of-factly, "the Blue Star should feel honored that I was born from it."

Sooner or later, I will surpass that planet and become an even greater being.

Everyone was taken aback.

Then.

Hahahaha!

Laughter suddenly erupted across the desolate plain.

Even Moria, who had always considered himself an outsider to the Calamity Company, couldn't help but laugh.

He's a really annoying guy, that's true, but his spirit is unmatched on the high seas.

Dylan laughed and nodded in agreement, saying, "That's only natural! The world will one day grovel at your feet!"

However, jokes aside, there's still a very real problem.

So, where exactly are the ruins of Birka located?

Doflamingo was the first to raise this question.

Everything had been buried by sandstorms; at least during the landing, no trace of any remains was found.

Are we supposed to find it bit by bit? Observation Haki won't help at a time like this!

Although the moon is much smaller than the Blue Star, it is still enormous compared to any individual planet!

If we were to search inch by inch, it would take forever.

Although we have Pure Gold, the supplies we brought won't last long.

"Regarding this,"

Roa raised the corners of his mouth, "Judge."

"Here he comes, Boss!"

Judge, who had also landed on the moon to pay homage to the Blue Sea, the birthplace of science and technology, quickly stepped forward, "Everything is ready!"

He then added, "According to Boss, the Birka people built an underground city in the later stages of their civilization due to the deterioration of the surface environment."

"And after countless years of material accumulation, that ruin must be buried deep underground."

"Conventional radar lacks the ability to detect targets deep underground, so I designed a special device!"

They are capable of detecting seismic waves with precision, based on the characteristics of how waves change as they propagate through different media such as rock and soil.

This allows us to determine the underground environment over a very large area!

"So, an earthquake is needed?"

Everyone looked at Roa.

Roa's smile remained unchanged. "Is a stronger earthquake always better?"

"A single detector has a limited detection range, but if enough detectors are deployed, then naturally, stronger seismic waves can detect farther locations in a single operation!"

"So, what are we waiting for?"

Roa chuckled, "Let's begin the setup."

The detection device designed by Judge consisted of long, giant iron nails.

A section needs to be buried deep underground, and the sensors mounted on it can accurately capture the refraction and reflection of seismic waves, thereby obtaining information about the underground conditions over a large area.

The head is connected to a transmitter, which can transmit the collected information back to the laboratory.

Quite a few of these devices have already been produced.

What needs to be done now is to disperse these devices and then drive them underground.

In an instant, all the cadres who could fly were mobilized.

Even Roa, carrying iron nails, began to fly aimlessly across the lunar surface.

These devices will be distributed in concentric rings radiating outwards from the landing point.

Once all the equipment is deployed, the maximum detection radius for a single operation is approximately one thousand kilometers.

That's more than enough, considering the moon's diameter is less than four thousand kilometers.

Setting up these devices alone took about a week, even though Roa and the others flew fast enough.

Then.

"Judge,"

Roa had entered his beastman form, flapping his wings and floating in the sky. He held a Den Den Mushi in his hand and was talking to Judge in the laboratory.

"Can we begin?"

"It's ready, Boss! All the detectors are operational! We're also ready to analyze the data! Please create the earthquake with full force!"

"Then I won't stand on ceremony!"

Roa's lips curled up.

To be honest, he rarely uses the term "earthquake disaster".

This move only works on ordinary people at sea; slightly stronger individuals can't expect buildings to collapse and crush them.

Therefore, he really didn't know what the consequences would be if he went all out to create an earthquake.

In conclusion

Roa looked down at the pale earth below, then raised his right hand and snapped his fingers.

"Magnitude Shift!"

Boom!!

The ground below suddenly began to shake violently.

A sound like thunderclap boomed upwards, shaking the heavens.

The earth was visibly torn apart by savage force, and huge chasms instantly shattered the land within a radius of several kilometers.

Outside this central area, the earth is also breaking apart, with spiderweb-like cracks spreading, though not as spectacular as those here.

The dust covering the earth's surface quickly rose into the air, and looking down from the sky, one could clearly see concentric waves spreading outwards.

In the sky, on the edge of the Calamity City, the officials watching all this were dumbfounded.

"This power is way too much!"

Doflamingo couldn't help but gasp, "If that attack were launched in the Blue Sea, it would shatter a large island into pieces!"

"As expected of the Boss!"

Bege nodded in deep agreement, "Truly a monster among monsters!"

Below, Roa was breathing heavily.

There was no black mist on the moon, and using his full power had greatly exhausted him.

However, seeing the result of this attack, he couldn't help but nod slightly.

Not bad.

But there's nothing to be proud of either.

After all, according to the established storyline, the punch that Whitebeard delivered to destroy the Marine Headquarters building Paramount War had an aftershock that even reached the New World, creating a huge trench that eventually reached the island Pirate Expo was held in the movie Stampede.

A force that will truly tear the world apart!

Of course, it is more likely that the Awakening Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability triggered resonance, causing the continental plates to tremble, thus triggering a larger-scale chain reaction.

Accompanied by a deafening roar, the powerful seismic waves spread outwards.

Now it's time to see Judge's performance.

Inside the laboratory of the Calamity City, Judge and Caesar were frantically pressing keys on electronic screens.

"They're here!!"

Judge raised his voice, "The data from the first batch of detectors has been transmitted back! Everyone, begin processing it with full force!"

Roa slowly flapped his wings and returned to the Calamity City.

The dark aura permeating the city instantly restored his spirits.

It has to be black energy! Perfect!

Then, Judge's joyful cry came through the Den Den Mushi: "Boss! Detected! Based on the orientation of the Calamity City, there is a huge underground cavity about 700 kilometers underground at the two o'clock position!!"

Wow, that's really fast!

Roa couldn't help but pause for a moment.

Do we have five minutes?

It would take at least one or two minutes for seismic waves to travel 700 kilometers, right? Is the data processed that fast?

Forget it, the advanced technology in this world doesn't need much logic.

"So, what are we waiting for?"

In short, the Calamity City quickly began to move in the direction that Judge had indicated.

A mere 700 kilometers is hardly a long distance compared to the flight speed of the Calamity City.

Soon, the floating city arrived above another equally pale plain.

Is it really here?

The group returned to the ground. Doflamingo stomped his foot, saying, "It feels pretty much the same as where we first landed."

But Roa smiled, "Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Doflamingo, you should really work on your Observation Haki!"

"Indeed!"

Abel nodded solemnly, his eyes looking down as if piercing through the thick layers of debris to see the scene deep underground.

"Below lies a massive void, and within that void are neatly arranged buildings!"

"Did you finally find it?"

Dylan also breathed a sigh of relief.

He was genuinely worried that if he wasted too much time on the moon, something might happen on the Blue Sea and he wouldn't be able to get back in time.

In fact, the distance was so great that the signal from the Den Den Mushi couldn't even get through.

"Then what are we waiting for!"

Loki raised his spiked club high, "Let me make a way!"

"Too rough won't do,"

Roa waved his hand, "Wouldn't it be such a pity if such ancient relics were damaged?"

He smiled and said, "Let me do it."

Then, in the next instant, the ground began to melt!

Both the dust covering the ground and the soil and rocks beneath it suddenly began to melt in that instant.

In that instant, all the dust, soil, and rocks transformed into molten lava!

Then, drawn by an invisible force, the lava flowed upwards like long dragons, quickly coalescing into a giant magma sphere in the sky.

Isn't this even more brutal?

Loki's lips twitched slightly.

Immediately, with a casual wave of Roa hand, the enormous magma ball flew away into the distance, and in an instant, the earth shook again.

However, by this time, the crowd had no time to marvel at Roa's astonishing power, because after the lava flowed away, a huge cavity appeared before them.

And at the bottom of this enormous void lies a city that has been sealed away for countless years.

"Is this... the ruins of Birka?"

Abel's voice was somewhat hoarse.

Enel's gaze was extremely intense.

Is this the place where their ancestors once lived?

"Let's go down and take a look."

Roa was the first to jump down.

The cadres followed closely behind, each using their own unique methods to fall towards the ruins below.

During the descent, Roa gently waved his right hand, and dark clouds suddenly gathered in the sky, with bolts of lightning crashing down on the city below.

Before anyone could react to what their boss was up to, the bolts of lightning suddenly vanished into the city below.

A pipe-like object flashed with lightning, transmitting electricity.

Then.

One by one, the lights came on.

"How is that possible!"

Judge almost lost his voice, "After all these years, are these facilities in this city still usable?"

What incredible infrastructure capabilities!

The Birka people are terrifying!

It's not over yet.

After the group landed in this city that looked ancient but actually contained an astonishing level of technology.

Footsteps suddenly sounded.

Hey! What's that?

Loki, taking advantage of his height, spotted the short figures emerging from a certain street at a glance.

Is anyone still living here?

The others were also taken aback.

Wasn't it said to have been abandoned a long time ago?

Roa merely chuckled.

As I've already said, the Birka people didn't take everything with them.

Soon, those small figures approached the crowd with synchronized steps.

"That's... a robot?"

Sitting on Dylan's back, Doflamingo, who had hitched a ride, was completely bewildered.

It was incredibly short, with a large head and relatively short limbs. It wielded a spear, and its entire body gleamed with a metallic sheen. It had a mustache-like decoration on its nose and a pair of small wings on its back.

Of course, it's not human.

"Amazing! Amazing!"

Judge jumped off Dylan's back immediately and charged straight at the robots.

"They regained their mobility immediately after simply replenishing their energy? Aren't they immune to the ravages of time? What incredible technology! Is this the creation of the Birka people?!"

Then, all the little robots bowed to the crowd in unison.

"This one"

Dylan was taken aback. "Is this a way of expressing gratitude?"

"They possess their own consciousness!"

Judge was almost dumbfounded.

"Anyway, could you take us to see the factory here?"

Roa, who already knew about this, was naturally not surprised and simply smiled as he spoke.

Without any hesitation, these little robots turned around and led the way.

"No way! He can understand it!?"

Even the cadres, who had little knowledge of science and technology, were utterly astonished at this moment.

Is this the technological prowess of the Birka people?

It truly is the origin of everything!

That's amazing!
