A Sudden Change! You're Here Too? Black Turn Domination!

The agreed meeting place with Captain John was a deserted island somewhere between the Whole Cake Island Sea and Dressrosa.

As for why they didn't go directly to Dressrosa to pick him up, it was obviously because they were worried about revealing their whereabouts; Dressrosa is too close to the Neo Marine Headquarters.

The original plan was to catch the World Government off guard, cause some chaos in Mary Geoise, and then run away. If their whereabouts were exposed and the World Government became prepared, not only would their trip be in vain, but they might also be counterattacked. Wouldn't that be extremely frustrating?

So, apart from Roa, who was on a ship on Bullet Island, all the other big guys left their own territory and found a deserted place to land on the Sky Island.

Although it's a bit troublesome, extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures.

Nobody wants to be bothered by the World Government anymore, so let's just bear with it for a bit.

Fortunately, after picking up Charlotte Linlin, we were very close to the island we had agreed upon with Captain John.

The floating island sped forward high in the sky.

On the edge of the island, Roa sat leisurely on the cliff, swinging his legs playfully. The clouds were split open by the island, and cool mist swept past Roa's feet.

"Haha! Look, I'm washing my feet in the clouds!"

Roa's face was full of joy, and every muscle seemed to be etched with a smile.

He was always cheerful, and his smile at this moment was even more genuine.

Kozuki Toki stood behind him, her exquisitely beautiful face expressionless.

Actually, sometimes she really felt that Roa was just a child who never grew up.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Roa is innocent, lively, and cute.

Rather, like children who would kill every insect they caught by any means, Roa's heart was filled with such an almost instinctive destructive desire.

However, unlike ordinary children, the garden where Roa runs wild is the world, the ants whose nests he pours boiling water into while laughing are people, and the butterflies that he captures and keeps as specimens because of their beauty are himself.

Does Roa hate anyone?

I'm afraid not.

Even towards his greatest enemy, Imu, Roa felt no hatred whatsoever; he simply wanted to kill him and take his place. In fact, he harbored a strange sense of disappointment and frustration towards Imu, feeling that Imu was too kind to the world.

Did Roa have someone he specifically wanted to kill?

It seems not.

Having shared a bed for so long, Kozuki Toki had actually come to a conclusion long ago that even she found hard to believe.

Roa actually dislikes killing.

He has said more than once that humanity is the most valuable resource.

He's just like a child; he simply wants to run wild and torment the world for fun.

Ironically, he possessed this power.

Even Imu, even the Imu who destroyed everything, is better than Roa.

Kozuki Toki couldn't imagine what the world would become if Roa conquered it.

Ultimately, who can stop him?

Forehead!

Kozuki Toki's face suddenly turned pale.

Just thinking about it for a moment made her heart feel like it was twisting, and the intense fear almost suffocated her.

"You're really taking it easy, aren't you?"

With heavy footsteps, Kaido walked over, drinking his sake. "After picking up John, you're heading straight to Mary Geoise, right?"

"Barring any unforeseen circumstances, there won't be any fighting at all, right?"

Roa was very relaxed.

They drop several islands and dozens or even hundreds of meteorites from tens of kilometers in the air and then run away. I'm not even asking if Imu can stop them, but how is that guy supposed to chase them?

Even Imu's true form would have little chance of catching up, right?

If that doesn't work, then go for something even higher.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to just get a space-based weapon.

Hmm, thinking about it this way, in a world where anyone who can fly can physically enter the universe, Uncle Shiki's Fuwafuwa no Mi does seem a bit too powerful, doesn't it?

"Tsk."

Kaido seemed quite displeased with this, even letting out a cold snort, "Is there any need to be so afraid? The World Government has to win over Ochoku and even Harald if they want to fight us, doesn't that just prove that their forces aren't as strong as we thought?"

Roa just smiled.

Big Brother Kaido is still too young.

According to Joy Boy's comment, while Imu's strength may not be as great as his, he is definitely a super monster who has surpassed the limits of humanity.

Eight hundred years have passed since then, and unless Imu has been wasting all those years, Roa doesn't think that guy has surpassed Joy Boy.

Last time, the mere possession of another body already demonstrated strength surpassing even the top-tier pirates; the true form's power will only be even greater.

Now is not the time to confront Imu.

A warning is enough.

But then again, there must be a reason why Imu can't be exposed to outsiders, right?

Otherwise, how could Sabo have escaped unscathed after meeting Imu?

Imu severely injured Sabo with a single blow. At that time, Sabo was at least at the level of Admiral, wasn't he?

Seeing that Roa didn't even bother to answer, Kaido couldn't help but snort coldly again. Just then, the floating Sky Island began to descend.

The enormous object shattered the clouds in the sky and plummeted downwards with the force to crush everything in its path.

After the clouds dispersed, the island below was revealed.

On the edge of the island, Captain John stood quietly.

He held the wine bottle in his hand, simply gazing upwards in silence.

Looking up at that island that seemed to have fallen from the sky.

"Hey! Uncle John!"

Once the island had descended to a certain altitude, John could clearly see Roa sitting on the edge of the island, smiling and waving at him.

"We've come to pick you up!"

Behind Roa, one figure after another appeared.

Kaido, Red, Silver Axe, Ochoku, Shiki, Linlin, and Harald, who is as big as a small mountain.

What are you still standing there for?

The Golden Lion, a cigar dangling from his lips, scoffed, "You want everyone to wait for you?"

Captain John took the last sip of his drink, and, as was his habit, threw the half-full bottle into the sea ahead.

Then, the man raised his hand to wipe the remaining wine from the corner of his mouth, and then sprang straight up.

He stepped on the air, and in just a few leaps, he landed on the edge of the island.

"Now everyone's here!"

Upon seeing his friend arrive, Ochoku couldn't help but smile.

"Mother, Mother!"

Charlotte Linlin laughed heartily and said, "Let's get this done quickly, I'm waiting for the victory celebration!"

As she said this, she glanced at Harald beside her as if nothing had happened.

Everyone knows what the banquet she was talking about was really for.

"So, what exactly do you want to do? Now you can tell me!"

Harald was completely oblivious to Charlotte Linlin's gaze; he simply questioned her with some impatience.

"Well,"

Roa smiled and said, "It's nothing, just planning a trip to Mary Geoise."

"What?"

Harald's expression suddenly changed drastically. "You want to attack Mary Geoise?"

You must be kidding!

Are these guys crazy?

That's the World Government's headquarters, the Celestial Dragons' gathering place!

Putting aside the pirates for the moment, if he were to do something like that, wouldn't his presence there be tantamount to Elbaf declaring war on the World Government?

In response to Harald's shock, Roa simply smiled and said, "Not you, but us."

"You bastard!!"

Harald was so angry he gritted his teeth.

He never imagined that this bastard Roa would be so brazen!

In that case, wouldn't there be no room for negotiation between Elbaf and the government?

"Hahaha! It's too late to say anything now, Harald!"

The Golden Lion found Harald's almost frantic state amusing. Wasn't he so self-righteous when he rejected that bastard Rocks?

Roa won't tolerate this.

"Everyone's here now, just waiting for me to go and get a few more islands!"

"Hehehe! Although it wasn't entirely satisfying, it's not bad to have taught the World Government a profound lesson!"

"Mother, Mother! What are we waiting for!"

Laughter filled the air along the shore of the floating Sky Island.

But.

"Um?"

Roa Yayi turned around. Was there someone who wasn't laughing?

For a moment, Roa's gaze froze.

"No way?"

He blinked, looking at Captain John, who had somehow walked to the back of the group. "Uncle John, is this graffiti? But this design doesn't look very auspicious."

Upon hearing Roa's words, the group of people who were laughing almost simultaneously turned around instinctively.

Then they saw John raise his right hand towards the ground in front of him.

Then, a pentagram pattern took shape on the ground.

Captain John turned around and gave the crowd a strange smile.

"I'm so sorry, but you said everyone's here."

Snap!

Thick black smoke suddenly surged up from the magic circle.

At the same time, enormous black Inazuma shot out in all directions.

Without any hesitation, a pair of horns suddenly sprouted from Roa's forehead.

The ground where the magic circle was located shattered instantly—it was bound to shatter.

Because a figure had already emerged from the magic circle.

It was a slender and tall figure.

He held a demonic trident in his hand, his broad bat wings spread behind him, and his long tail, extending from his lower back, twisted in the air.

"Do you like this surprise?"

A detached female voice rang out.

Golden Lion, Red, and Kaido, who had already dealt with him once, all changed their expressions instantly.

"What a joke! This woman—"

The cigar in the Golden Lion's mouth fell to the ground.

"This is troublesome."

Red's lips twitched slightly.

Roa said he was only there to lend a hand and Stronger morale, and there wouldn't be any fighting.

Roa, you liar!

"John! You bastard, you betrayed us!"

Kaido glared angrily at Captain John, then grabbed Ochoku's shoulder, saying, "You bastard, you're with him too, aren't you!"

"I don't know what's going on either!"

Ochoku was indeed completely bewildered. He looked at Captain John in disbelief, "John, what are you doing?! Have you been colluding with the World Government behind our backs?!"

Even if she really wanted to seduce someone, she should have at least talked to me first!

Haven't you just put Lao Tzu and Silver Axe in a really awkward position?

Silver Axe, standing beside him, indeed wore an embarrassed expression; he was caught off guard by this sudden turn of events.

It's a long story.

Facing his former allies, Captain John could only shrug helplessly and sigh, "Anyway, I had no choice."

"Is this the Celestial Dragons woman you were talking about before?"

Charlotte Linlin stared intently at the expressionless Imu. "What's there to be afraid of? In the end, he's just one person, compared to so many of us."

The magic circle beneath Imu's feet expanded several times in an instant.

Roa immediately activated his ability to cause an earthquake on the island in an attempt to prevent what was to come.

However, Imu's dark Haki completely enveloped the entire island, rendering the earthquake ineffective for Roa's intended purpose.

Then, figures appeared one after another from the magic circle.

Many of them are old acquaintances.

The Five Elders, Figarland Gehring, and the young Somaz -.-

The Five Elders and the Knights of God!

"Forehead."

Charlotte Linlin suddenly lost her voice.

It's not over yet!

Below, on the sea surface, a ship encased in bubbles suddenly bursts through the water.

One after another, figures were launched from the ship and crashed onto the isolated island in the sky a few seconds later.

They were the elite naval force led by Garp the Hero and Admiral Zephyr, as well as some high-ranking CPO officers in white uniforms.

However, at this moment, Garp and Zephyr, the two pillars of the Navy, were standing behind an old man with white hair.

"Shh, this old man can still do his part for justice."

The old man, Isaac, the Supreme Commander of the World Government's Armed Forces, said with a smile.

"Surrender, you scum!"

Zephyr's voice was cold and sharp, "This time, you have nowhere to escape!"

The power that the World Government can muster is truly astounding!

Is this truly going all out?

However, in any case, getting rid of these scumbags would be a great thing for the world.

Silver Axe couldn't help but swallow.

Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?

At this moment, Roa couldn't help but look at Kozuki Toki beside him, and he reached out and took the woman's hand.

Thank goodness we brought this woman along!

Otherwise, things would have really gone wrong today!

I've been scammed!

John actually chose to betray them.

There's no reason for that. By joining the World Government, could he possibly gain a higher status?

His ability to open the teleportation array means that he has been endowed with power by Imu.

That means life and death are controlled by Imu!

Was it forced? How can something like this be forced?

That wretched Imu, why didn't you use this ability sooner!

That completely surprised me and made me not even think of this possibility!

But in any case, things are in big trouble now.

"What's there to be afraid of!"

Kaido roared, "We've fought before, back in Logue Town!"

Compared to the last time in Logue Town, the World Government's forces haven't increased much this time!

Although Rayleigh wasn't there to help this time, Harald was even stronger!

And there's Ochoku, Silver Axe, and Linlin!

What's there to be afraid of?

Roa's lips twitched slightly.

The reason we were able to fight to that extent last time was because we dealt with the Five Elders first.

This time, Imu appeared ahead of schedule, and he didn't even have enough dark energy to replenish himself.

I think I should just slip away first.

That is, at this time.

"Harald,"

Imu had been silent until now, raised his head and looked at the giant king, whose face was stiff. "You've chosen the pirates, to make Elbaf an enemy of the government, is that it?"

Not good!

Roa suddenly turned his head.

But can Harald still be threatened now?

The worst thing is when someone says, "I was forced into this situation!"

Harald sighed. "That bastard Roa said that if I choose to help you, he'll destroy Elbaf. You know his abilities; he possesses that kind of power."

Upon hearing this, even under the current circumstances, Charlotte Linlin couldn't help but glance down at Roa.

Is this what you meant by having a good relationship with Harald?

The Five Elders' expressions were also somewhat strange.

They racked their brains trying to figure out how Roa had managed to win Harald's support.

Is it really that simple?

"I see, so you can threaten me with your country? I understand now."

Imu nodded slightly.

"No hiding, no resistance, or Mu will destroy Elbaf too."

Imu raised his right hand. "If Roa can do it, the government will certainly be able to as well."

Harald's body suddenly stiffened.

Does the World Government do this too?

However, the World Government does indeed possess that kind of power!

Roa's lips twitched.

Yes, yes, that's exactly what I'm afraid of!

Imu, that bastard actually plagiarized my signature move!

And Harald, you shameless bastard! Do you think you'd just obediently comply with anyone who threatens you?

Can't you have even a little bit of backbone?

"Devil Contract."

A pentagram pattern appeared in Imu's hand.

Immediately, the pentagram flew out and landed at Harald's feet.

"Hey! Harald! Think of Loki!"

Roa quickly launched an emergency prank on Harald, saying, "If you don't resist, I won't let that kid get away with it!"

Harald glanced at Roa almost instinctively.

Loki!

He didn't get that chance; everyone else will die here.

Imu said calmly, "And if you do nothing as I say, Elbaf will join the World Government, and your son will be safe and sound."

This is terrible.

Roa sighed with a touch of melancholy.

Harald then remained motionless.

That was exactly what he had been dreaming of.

So, what exactly does this guy want to do to him?

Imu nodded in satisfaction. "The contract has been reached, then..."

"Black Turn Domination!"

The ground beneath Harald's feet seemed to turn into mud instantly, and half of his body sank into it.

Then, to everyone's astonishment, the enormous magic circle suddenly flipped, burying Harald's upper body in the ground—or rather, sending him to another dimension.

"What, what is this?"

Even a man as knowledgeable as Golden Lion couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

Ochoku was completely dumbfounded.

Because the next instant, Harald stood up.

"Enjoyable! Enjoyable like never before! Hahahaha!"

He let out a strange, loud laugh.

Harald, who was already ridiculously tall, swelled up by more than half again, turning into a super monster that was over 100 meters tall!

It's not just body shape that's changing!

Harald sprouted a pair of enormous bat wings from his back and sharp teeth from his mouth.

The greatsword in his hand turned pitch black and grew to a size that perfectly matched his physique.

"What country, what family, what compatriots, nothing can hold me back now!"

Even her personality underwent a complete 180-degree turn.

Do you know what you should do next?

"Imu said calmly."

"Certainly!"

The demon Harald nodded without hesitation, "Of course I will obey your orders!"

The Golden Lion's pupils constricted.

Is this even possible?

What exactly is this woman's ability?

That's Harald!

Not to mention him, even Garp and Zephyr, who were on the same side, were dumbfounded.

Who exactly is this woman?

It's not over yet.

At this moment, Imu looked at Ochoku, Silver Axe, and Charlotte Linlin, "Unlike Roa and the other three, you don't necessarily have to die, so what is your answer?"

Silence.

But the silence lasted only a moment.

"Of course I choose to abandon darkness and embrace the light!"

Without any hesitation, Wang Zhi said loudly with a smile, "If Roa hadn't threatened me, how could there have been this misunderstanding today!"

I've always wanted to cooperate with the World Government!

At the same time, he leaped to the other side, then turned back to glare angrily at Roa and the others, declaring, "I am sworn enemies of evil pirates!"

Me too!

The Silver Axe followed closely behind.

And so, a desperate situation arose.
