Information, Monsters, Sulfur, and Fire!

"I knew it! Boss! I knew you'd come back someday!"

On the other end of the Den Den Mushi, Morgans' voice was almost cracking with excitement, "I've finally waited for this day! This sea will finally be surging again!"

"Oh,"

Roa chuckled, "I thought you, like this vast ocean, had forgotten my name."

"How could that be!"

Morgans' voice was solemn, as if he were making a vow, "The world without you is far too boring. I haven't encountered any exciting, spine-chilling Big News Morgans in so long! Unlike when you were still here, the world would be in turmoil every few days! Just for that reason alone, you should believe that I would never betray you!"

Roa chuckled softly.

That's true; Morgans isn't a normal person to begin with.

For him, even his life was less important than making a Big News Morgans.

In short, as long as I remain myself, this guy should still be on my side.

It wasn't because of threats or coercion, nor because of the bomb that was planted in his heart years ago.

In this respect, Morgans' loyalty may not be inferior to that of Abel and the others.

"So, what have you been doing all these years?"

Roa asked with great interest.

"Hehe, it's not just that I'm annoyed because there aren't enough shocking news stories!"

Morgans chuckled, "Boss, our informants are all over the world—in every country, every Marine Base, even pirate emperors and Shichibukai. Except for places like Amazon Lily where infiltration is impossible, we have spies even in Mary Geoise!"

"Oh? Not bad."

Roa chuckled softly.

"Because before Dylan left the sea, he left me with a treasure that could be described as extravagant."

Morgans said, "More than half of that money is still left. Without this wealth, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly."

"Dylan? He did a good job,"

Roa raised an eyebrow. "Have you been in contact with them all along?"

"One-sided contact,"

Morgans chuckled and said, "They don't seem to trust me very much either; they just contact me every now and then to ask if I'm coming back."

"However, Boss, we have people in the Teach Pirates, the Giant Soldier Pirates, and the Moria Pirates."

Morgans added, "Are you going to find them next?"

"They'll come looking for me later."

Roa casually replied, "If they're still willing to follow me."

"Hahaha! I get it! I completely understand, Boss!"

Morgans' voice suddenly became even more impassioned, "How do you plan to announce your return to the world? I will fully cooperate with you!!"

Even through the Den Den Mushi, Roa could feel the guy's excitement.

"I'll go to Beehive Island and wait for them."

Roa said, "After that, you help me inform everyone, tell the whole world, that I'm back."

"Yes!!!"

He roared almost hoarsely, "Even if I'm purged by the World Government afterward! I will spread the news of your return throughout the world as soon as possible!"

"Liquidation?"

Roa smiled frivolously, gazing up at the bright moon in the sky. "From the moment I arrived in this era, traversing twenty-five years, the balance of power shifted dramatically. Now, it is the World Government that should be filled with fear!"

"Boss!! I swear my loyalty to you until death!!"

On a deserted island in the New World, Morgans was so excited he almost cried.

It has to be the Boss!

Only when the Boss returns will the sea become even more turbulent!

Does this mean Boss is preparing to officially declare war on the World Government?

As expected!

Really!

Compared to the Boss, those so-called pirate emperors and the Shichibukai of the Sea are nothing but rotten fish and shrimp!

Then, Morgans heard the Boss's voice coming through the Den Den Mushi, "By the way, how are things in the West Blue and North Blue? I heard there was a riot in the North Blue more than ten years ago?"

"Yes, Boss!"

Morgans quickly replied, "About thirteen years ago, the people of Flevance, scattered across the North Blue, began to face their end."

"The long-dormant Platinum Lead Disease has finally begun to manifest, with the elderly and children, whose immune systems are weakened, being the first to fall ill."

"Then, the people of Flevance went completely mad."

"Needless to say, even among the originally moderate Flevance, quite a few break down when truly facing death."

"They decided to launch a final act of revenge against the World Government that had persecuted them in the last moments of their lives; they wanted to destroy the world."

"And so, the truly indiscriminate attacks began."

"The madmen of Flevance are indiscriminately attacking all the World Government Member States. Although the Calamity Company is no longer providing them with weapons, they have still managed to acquire a large amount of weaponry, plunging the entire North Blue into a desperate situation."

Cake Island.

Hearing Morgans' words on the Den Den Mushi, Roa nodded slightly, then asked, "So, were you involved in this?"

Hehehe,

Morgans chuckled and said, "Because it's been so long since we've had such a shocking Big News Morgans, I was wondering if we could make it even more shocking."

"So, what was the result? I heard the Revolutionary Army played a very important role in that incident?"

Roa asked.

"Yes, there are quite a few Flevance in Dragon's group."

Morgans said, "So he didn't spend too much time figuring out what was going on in Flevance and sent his warriors to save many countries in that upheaval."

"Thus, the Self-Respect Army, renamed the Revolutionary Army, became world-renowned twelve years ago!"

"The whole world now knows that there exists an army dedicated to overthrowing the World Government and all corrupt monarchies!"

"After that, although the Revolutionary Army was constantly hunted down by the World Government, their power also expanded rapidly."

"Now, it's not just in North Blue; they have people secretly developing power in many countries around the world. They are leading oppressed people to rise up and resist, and they have already overthrown several countries."

"Oh, not bad at all."

Roa chuckled softly.

It seems the darkness in this world has become so intense that the Revolutionary Army has played a significant role in it.

Dragon, you finally didn't disappoint me.

"Certainly,"

Morgans' smile became even more meaningful. "Just like before, I am still watching over them for you."

Even now, the Revolutionary Army remains indisputable in our eyes.

"Very good."

Roa smiled even more pleased. "Morgans, you did a great job."

"You're too kind, it's what I should do!"

Morgans continued, "As for the West Blue, Bege's father has done a good job too; his influence has expanded from the Underworld to the West Blue's aristocratic class."

"He still holds the title of duke in a powerful Affiliated Nation."

"He has drawn a large number of nobles into his network of interests. However, because you have temporarily left and the Calamity Company has disappeared, they dare not do anything more. Therefore, the West Blue is still peaceful at this time."

"However, the powder keg is already in place! A large number of nobles linked together means they can plunder and exploit even more wantonly. Over the next twenty years, the living standards of the people of the West Blue will definitely continue to decline!"

"And then there's the Flower Country; thanks to your efforts, that country is still under control."

"Is that so?"

Roa chuckled, "Then, let's detonate the powder keg."

"Yes!!"

After ending the call with Morgans, Roa put away the Den Den Mushi.

Turning back, he casually asked, "How long are we going to wait there?"

"Hahaha, isn't this what you're plotting now?"

Katakuri leisurely emerged from around the corner, carrying two bottles of sake, and casually tossed one of them to Roa.

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in Lord Roa's crazy plans. How about a drink?"

"Human wine?"

Roa flicked the bottle cap away with his thumb and said with some disdain.

"Even if you're looking for the devil's drink, I don't have any here."

Katakuri casually tossed his head back and gulped down a few mouthfuls of wine, not even wiping the smudges from his lips, before he began to speak.

"Ochoku is just the beginning, isn't he?"

Now that this kid has gained even greater power, how could he possibly stay put?

If he dared to retaliate against the World Government like that 25 years ago, it would be a complete disservice to Roa's insane personality not to directly wage war now.

Roa took a sip of his drink and said with a smile, "Of course you'll help me, right Katakuri?"

"When we were kids, I helped you hunt down pirates; now it's your turn to help me hunt down the World Government."

"Hey, how dare you say that!"

Katakuri smirked and said irritably, "Back then, weren't you always just watching from the sidelines? Did you ever actually lift a finger?"

"What kind of boss attacks right from the start?"

Roa said in surprise, "Of course I have to deal with you first before I can make a move. Those pirates are just too weak."

"Whose boss are you?"

Katakuri chuckled and cursed.

"Hey, Katakuri,"

Roa smiled and said, "Tell me about what you've been through all these years."

"Trying to change the subject? Well, that's a long story."

So Katakuri told Roa about what he had experienced over the past twenty years.

Ugh, I have to pour out my grievances.

As the family's second-strongest fighter, he had to fight battles across the country for the family.

As the elder brother trusted by everyone in the family, he often had to mediate conflicts between his younger siblings.

As a notorious pirate feared by the World Government and the Navy, he must always be wary of their clandestine schemes.

These things were already troubling him, but what was even more troublesome was that as his strength grew rapidly, his Mother began to gradually become suspicious of him.

There was no way around it; at that time, Katakuri's strength was already close to Charlotte Linlin's, and his reputation among his siblings was far beyond Charlotte Linlin's reach.

Therefore, it was only natural that Katakuri was suppressed.

He had a pretty tough time during that period, after all, there was still a gap in strength.

However, as it turned out, Charlotte Linlin's suspicions were not unfounded, because just four years later, Katakuri led his brothers and sisters in a rebellion against their mother.

After that battle, Charlotte Linlin's rule was overthrown, Katakuri became the ruler of the country.

But this isn't the end, because they can't just kill their mother or imprison her permanently, can they?

Not to mention that Charlotte Linlin herself is a formidable force, as one of the earliest children, Katakuri and she do indeed share a mother-son bond.

As a result, Charlotte Linlin, who was basically unrestricted, would cause trouble every now and then.

Although he was repeatedly and brutally suppressed by Katakuri and his brothers and sisters, it did make him very annoyed.

Listening to his old friend's endless complaints, Roa couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The two chatted until late into the night.

Then, the next morning, a large ship set sail from Cake Island, heading towards the latter part of the New World, towards Beehive Island.

The ship's name is Cream Donut, which immediately tells you it's Katakuri's flagship.

Like all of the Charlotte Family's large ships, this one was a massive Homies.

Although Aunt Linlin angrily ran away to find reinforcements, the Homies continued to be active in the country.

"Is it necessary to bring so many people?"

Roa sat leisurely cross-legged on the ship's railing, watching with great interest the Charlotte Family executives gathered on the deck.

Katakuri personally went out, and the Sweet Three Generals sent Bonney and Cracker, along with other executives led by Oven.

This force is enough to take on the other pirate emperors.

"If she doesn't bring enough people, Mother probably won't come back willingly."

That's what Katakuri said.

Roa burst out laughing again.

So, are they really planning to forcefully persuade Aunt Linlin?

"Shall we go straight to Silver Axe's territory?"

Bonney leaned in expectantly, "I've been wanting to kill that guy for ages! Hey, Roa, how about I go first and fight him?"

"That won't do, Bonnie. I need to say goodbye to Uncle Silver Axe properly."

Roa chuckled, then looked at Bonney and raised an eyebrow, saying, "Also, you should at least call me Brother Roa, right?"

"Ha?"

Bonney grinned disdainfully, raising an eyebrow. "You should be calling me 'Sister Bonney'! After all, you're only sixteen, while I'm twenty-four!"

"Hmm-- Sister Bonney?"

Roa stroked his chin, lost in thought. "It seems pretty good."

His aesthetic preferences do indeed lean towards older women.

"Alright, let's just call you by your name."

Katakuri waved his hand, abruptly ending the topic.

No matter how I call it, it doesn't feel right.

Roa was indeed only three years younger than him, but he was also Hachi than Bonney.

"However, Roa,"

Katakuri looked at Noah with a hint of seriousness in his eyes, "Besides his immortality, that Silver Axe guy should also have the ability to summon Divine Knight."

"I won't give him that chance."

Roa chuckled, "I will destroy every place he can inscribe magic circles in an instant."

"Then I'll definitely look forward to it!"

Katakuri's gaze was intense.

If Roa can really break the barrier of immortality—hey!

In any case, a few days later.

Anthera Island.

This island is the stronghold of the Silver Axe Pirates.

The island was once home to a small, prosperous nation, but all its citizens were driven off the island more than twenty years ago, and now it is merely Paradise for the Silver Axe Pirates.

Tens of thousands of pirates gathered here, spending their days indulging in pleasure and living a life of debauchery.

Meanwhile, in the sky above this island.

A giant, pitch-black hand floated here in a terrifying way.

Four people stood on the outstretched palm.

Roa, Kozuki Toki, Katakuri, and Bonney.

"This move can actually be used like this?"

Bonney stomped his feet, feeling the hardness of the hand.

Roa actually created a Haki arm and carried them all over from the distant sea!

"You want to learn?"

Roa chuckled, "Calling me Brother Roa isn't something I can't teach you."

Who's interested?

Bonney crossed her arms and snorted coolly, "All I need is a sword!"

She's not even a power user.

Katakuri believed that only Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit was worthy of his sister.

Unfortunately, the abilities of Mythical Zoan are not so easy to find.

"In that case, I can also teach you how to practice with the Black Blade."

"Roa said."

"Huh? Black Blade?"

He paused for a moment, then subconsciously glanced at the Tiger Soul at Roa's waist.

Was that knife actually Black Blade? The same Black Blade as Hawkeye's?

Alright, enough of the nonsense.

Katakuri said somewhat impatiently, "Roa, it's your turn to perform."

"Fine, Katakuri, you really have no patience."

Roa complained.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Accompanied by Katakuri's irritating voice, Roa lightly leaped forward.

The next instant, his body suddenly swelled up.

A sudden gust of wind swept across the sky.

Because two broad, dark wings, like dark clouds, slowly fluttered.

"It's huge!!"

Bonney couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

Because what appeared before the three of them was indeed an extraordinary behemoth.

The enormous, jet-black tiger slowly flapped its wings, floating in the sky in a manner that completely defied the laws of physics.

Its length from head to tail probably exceeds two hundred meters, and that doesn't even include the length of its tail and horns—a truly colossal creature!

Like in his beastman form, the black fur on Roa's beast form had also tangled together, forming an exoskeleton-like structure that added a thick, ferocious layer of armor to his massive body.

Sharp bone spurs extend from various joints, especially the back, running from the neck down the spine to the tip of the tail.

The enormous, menacing horns on his forehead pointed skyward, exuding Haki.

His body was also shrouded in a strange, dark aura, and Bonney felt an odd pressure simply from getting a little closer.

It was as if she were an ant that sensed an impending natural disaster!

Not to mention her, even Katakuri's face turned slightly pale.

This oppressive feeling... Is Roa truly Devil Fruit User, or just the embodiment of this monster?

"Hmm! It's been so long since I've used this form, I'm really not used to it yet."

Roa twisted his neck.

The orc form is definitely easier to use and more practical.

However, it must be said that the beast form is the form with the strongest physical strength and defense.

"Then,"

Roa lowered his head and looked down at the island below.

"Those who betray will be punished by heaven."

On the horns of the forehead, lines representing natural disasters began to spread.

Then, it suddenly started raining in the air below.

Those were golden flames.

A rain of fire fell from the sky, mingling with the sulfur mixed in, turning the entire sky golden.

It was not a simple mixture of flames and sulfur, but a true descent of sulfurous heavenly fire from mythology.
