War Game! The Calamity Beast!

The pirates surrounding the plaza gradually became dazed.

Because Katakuri was standing there.

"That's Katakuri! The White Tyrant, Charlotte Katakuri!!"

Why is the Pirate Emperor here?!

"Pony, the Destroyer Bonney, is here too! Are you kidding me? Is the Charlotte Family going to make a move on Beehive Island?!"

"How could that be? Are they going to break the ceasefire agreement?"

"This is insane! Lord Silver Axe and Lord John will not stand idly by! The World Government will definitely take action too; do they want the entire New World to be engulfed in war?!"

The pirates screamed in fear and panic.

"Yeah--"

Roa turned back to his good brother with a sigh, "Katakuri, you've really made something of yourself. Now everyone only knows you, not me."

What does it matter if it's something like this?

Katakuri, saying dismissively, "The fear or respect of others is utterly meaningless."

But this is very important to me!

Roa felt that Katakuri was being hypocritical, getting the better deal while pretending to be innocent.

You have to understand that twenty-five years ago, wherever I went, I was greeted by a thick aura of black energy.

Now it's just an unknown stray dog on the street; who's going to fill the void left by this dark aura?!

Thinking this, Roa suddenly looked up at a window of the Skull Tower.

Uncle Ochoku, you bastard, you're one of the culprits too!

While Roa was fuming, the pirates watching also noticed him.

"Who is that guy? Why does it seem like he's the one making the decisions among the three of them?"

"Did you hear what he just said? He said he's here to seek revenge on Admiral Ochoku!"

"Charlotte Family's new executive? He's just a brat!"

However, the pirates are not all young people.

Although the pirate industry changes very quickly, it doesn't mean that all the pirates from decades ago have really died out.

Several very old pirates began to stare blankly.

"No way? Did I see that right?!"

"Yes, yes, is it that sir?!"

"How is this possible? He's still alive?"

Then, let's rewind to about half a minute earlier.

In an office on the top floor of the Skull Tower.

"Has the government still not found anything?"

Ochoku was talking to a man dressed entirely in white.

"It shouldn't be the Golden Lion,"

The man in the white suit, Celestial Dragons's direct agent and a member of CP0, calmly shook his head. "The timing doesn't match. Our people have investigated carefully; he was busy hosting banquets during that period."

"Then who else could it be?"

Ochoku frowned deeply. "It couldn't be that brat Kaido, could it?"

The three World's Strongest are Golden Lion, Whitebeard, and Kaido.

Golden Lion has been cleared of suspicion, and Whitebeard wouldn't have attacked Shichibukai on his own initiative, so it must be Kaido?

To be honest, with Kaido's abilities, uprooting an island isn't impossible.

"That needs to be verified."

CP0 calmly stated, "However, whoever did this, it can never end here."

"The meaning above is that anyone possessing the power to sever the undead must never be allowed to live in this world."

Ochoku wholeheartedly agreed.

Immortality is the greatest asset of the Divine Knight; how could they allow someone with the power to break this ability to live?

Just then, a loud bang came from outside the window, as if something had fallen from the sky.

Ochoku frowned slightly.

Just as he was about to use his Observation Haki to see what was happening, a voice came from outside the window.

"Uncle Ochoku! I'm back for my revenge!"

Ochoku's body jolted instantly, and his already somewhat aged face gradually turned pale.

This sound--

How could this be!

How could that be!

How could such a thing possibly happen?

"Revenge? Could it be that the person who killed Silver Axe has come looking for him again?"

The CP0 officer in the white suit was immediately taken aback. "In that case, our arrival is just right—hmm?"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Ochoku stand up in a panic, almost stumbling, and run quickly to the window, leaning half his body out to look down.

"Ochoku?"

CP0 frowned.

What's wrong with this guy?

Why do you look so terrified?

Ochoku was breathing heavily, his heart pounding so hard it felt like his chest would explode.

No, that's impossible! You must have misheard!

Illusion!

It must just be an illusion!

You can't fool me, you definitely can't fool me.

Ochoku saw the boy in the square below.

The boy was also looking up at him.

Upon seeing him, a joyful smile blossomed on his face, which was exactly the same as it had been twenty-five years ago.

The handsome and cheerful young man waved his right hand happily at him.

"Yo! Uncle Ochoku, I'm here to kill you. Are you ready?"

"Ro... Ro... Roa..."

Ochoku's lips trembled, and then, in the next instant, his voice rose uncontrollably, "Roa!!!"

It's him!!

It really is him!

The monster has really returned; he's back for revenge!

There's no mistake, Silver Axe was killed by him!

In these twenty-five years, he has mastered the power to break free from immortality!

Now he's coming to kill me!

Roa?

CP0, who was about to approach, paused instantly upon hearing Ochoku's words.

His pupils also contracted rapidly.

As a top agent of the World Government, he was naturally familiar with this name.

Twenty-five years ago, a monster that once gave World Government a major headache!

Has that monster, which disappeared more than twenty years ago, reappeared on the sea?

No, we must report this to the government immediately!

Same.

Ochoku suddenly turned around.

Call for help!

We must call someone immediately!

Even if Roa were only at the level he was 25 years ago, he would already be completely outmatched by him!

Not to mention that after such a long period of time, Roa will definitely become stronger; he may have even mastered the power to break through immortality!

That esteemed person must come here!

He rushed straight towards the magic circle not far away.

Meanwhile, in the square.

Bonney glanced at Roa, who was waving upwards with a smile, then leaned closer to her most respected second brother and whispered,

Has he always been like this?

Katakuri wore a broad smile. "When Roa really wants to kill, he usually looks like this."

"On the contrary, I've never seen any anger or rage in the normal sense on his face."

"Isn't it better to face the world with a smile?"

Roa turned around with a smile, "Besides, isn't killing a very enjoyable thing?"

"Oh."

Bonney let out a strange, unintelligible cry.

I must say, he truly lives up to the "madman" that Brother Perospero and his friends call him.

"However, Roa,"

Katakuri's eyes flashed red. "Ochoku seems to be calling for someone."

"Isn't that a bit disrespectful?"

The same red light flickered in Roa's eyes.

He snapped his fingers lightly.

If Ochoku really manages to summon the Knights of God and even Imu, that would be quite troublesome.

Boom!

A bolt of lightning suddenly struck down from the sky.

This was a bolt of lightning that was entirely black and ten meters wide!

The pitch-black lightning, like a sharp sword piercing through the heavens and earth, instantly shattered the entire Skull Tower.

Then.

Boom!!

The violent explosion, originating from the inside out, instantly engulfed the entire Skull Tower.

The entire island trembled, and a violent wind swept through, making the surrounding pirates unsteady on their feet.

At that moment, the pirates were completely dumbfounded.

The building was blown up!

So, does this really mean we're going to start a war?

"Whoa!"

Bonney's eyes gleamed. "Is it finally going to begin?"

"Um?"

Katakuri an eyebrow. He noticed a bird-man on the roof of a house not far away, snapping away with Den Den Mushi.

Morgans...

That makes sense; Roa was talking to him on the phone that night, wasn't she?

That kid Roa, more than twenty years ago, what he showed to everyone was enough to make people's hearts tremble.

In reality, he was hiding something even more extraordinary.

"Roa!!"

Suddenly, the smoke-filled ruins ahead unfolded, and a figure slowly emerged from the rubble.

Ochoku's clothes were tattered, and his skin had several charred spots.

He stared intently at the grinning Roa, his teeth practically grinding to powder, his facial muscles twitching. "Why did you come back! Why did you dare come back!"

Ochoku clenched his fists, veins bulging on his arms, and he almost roared, "Roa! Times have changed! The world where you could run rampant no longer exists! This sea no longer has a place for you! Wouldn't it be better for you to die peacefully in some unknown corner?"

His roar stunned the surrounding pirates.

"Does Ochoku know that kid?"

"It's not just a simple acquaintance, is it? Admiral Ochoku's attitude... is he afraid?"

"Roa? Where did this guy come from?! I've never even heard of that name before!"

The pirates were puzzled.

Therefore, the classic background character makes his appearance.

"There's no mistake! That guy is Roa, the Calamity Roa!!"

"Calamity Roa? Who?"

"You kids born in the new era certainly wouldn't know, because he was a figure active more than twenty years ago!"

"Twenty-five years ago? He was only a few years old then!"

"Although I don't know what happened, it can't be wrong! He's a remnant of the Rocks Pirates, just like Lord Wang Zhi, Golden Lion, Whitebeard, Kaido, and Charlotte Linlin! One of the Seven Who Divided the New World More than twenty years ago! Known as the most evil man in history!"

"The worst in history? Is it really that exaggerated?"

"Exaggerated? Although his wanted poster is nowhere to be found now, I'll never forget the shock the world felt twenty-five years ago when the Navy issued his last wanted poster! Back then, his bounty had already reached six billion Beli!"

"What? Six billion? Roger only got five billion, Golden Lion and Whitebeard only got a little over five billion! So what kind of monster is this guy?!"

The pirates' gasps of surprise rose and fell.

However, Roa acted as if he hadn't heard, only watching Ochoku's smile deepen. He even took a deep breath, seemingly intoxicated, "I came back just for moments like this, Uncle Ochoku. Just like now, your fear is truly delicious."

You're talking about fear?

Ochoku, his eyes even turning somewhat bloodshot. "You're telling me, I'm afraid of you?"

"You trash! What are you waiting for?!"

Anger erupted within the man like a volcano, "Kill them all!!"

"You're already terrified, aren't you?"

Bonney crossed his arms and said with a nonchalant expression.

"Because he knew he was doomed."

Katakuri chuckled.

It's Future Sight Roa won't give him the chance to call for help or teleport away.

Ochoku has probably already guessed that Roa possesses the ability to break through immortality.

Therefore, he was definitely doomed.

Knowing they were doomed, they now began their death throes.

Behind Ochoku, ruins exploded one after another, and figures were ejected from them.

They were all cadres under Ochoku's command, and each of them exuded a powerful aura.

"Let's attack together!"

They roared, "Whether it's Roa or Katakuri, now it's all about fighting!"

The officers were well aware of the current situation. One Roa was already terrifying enough, not to mention the Pirate Emperor Katakuri and Charlotte Bonney, the Charlotte Family's greatest masterpiece!

But now, is there any other choice but to fight?

"Go!"

The pirates, drawn by the previous series of loud noises, roared and charged towards Roa and his companions.

Even now, only a small number of pirates know Roa's true identity.

And even if we knew, so what?

Without personally experiencing that era, one cannot truly understand what the title "Calamity Roa" means.

In the eyes of pirates of this era, he was not even as good as a single pirate emperor.

And so, the pirates surged in like a tidal wave.

Some of them were even from the navy.

Meanwhile, on the outer periphery...

An officer was sweating profusely as he dialed his superior's number.

Big event!

Huge event!

The monsters that should have vanished from history have returned to the sea!

"They're here! They're here! They're here!"

Bonney eagerly reached for the hilt of her greatsword behind her back. "This is what I've been waiting for!"

Finally, we can cause a huge ruckus!

But.

"Since we're going to play, let's play to our hearts' content!"

Roa's lips curled into a smirk, his eyes flashing black and white. "How about we have a war game?"

An invisible force swept across the entire field in an instant.

In an instant, about half of the pirates' eyes suddenly turned pitch black, and then, within this darkness, white pupils suddenly appeared.

Without exception, a strange smile appeared on their faces at that instant.

Oh, and you guys too.

Roa looked up again at the cadres under Ochoku who were rushing towards him.

He glared at him seriously.

As a result, the eyes of half of these cadres also began to change shape.

Then, without hesitation, these officers pulled the triggers and swung their blades at the pirates beside them, whom they had been colleagues just seconds before.

"Wow!!"

The remaining half of the cadres, caught off guard by the sudden attack, looked on with a mixture of bewilderment and terror. "What are you doing!"

"Hehehe! For Lord Roa!!"

"I'm going to kill you all!!"

The cadres who had been "transformed" smiled strangely.

Not only them, but all the transformed pirates simultaneously launched an attack on the unchosen pirates around them.

In the blink of an eye, the island was in complete chaos.

"What are you doing?!"

"Ouch! My intestines are coming out! Help me, please help me!"

"They've gone mad! They've gone mad!"

Screams, screams, and roars filled the air.

A large number of pirates were severely injured or even killed in that instant.

And it's not just pirates.

"Vice Admiral! Beehive Island has been attacked, by the Calamity Roa— "

The naval officer, who was anxiously reporting to his superiors, suddenly stiffened.

He turned around in disbelief.

"I'm sorry, sir!"

His loyal subordinate, whose eyes had turned black and whose pupils pale, said to him with a strange smile, "Lord Roa says he wants to play a game!"

Of course, not all pirates were killed in that instant. Most of them barely survived, and unsurprisingly, they began to fight back in order to survive.

The island instantly became a battlefield.

The pirates, who were originally going to join forces to fight the enemy, split into two groups and began a desperate battle.

However, the battle was completely one-sided.

Because.

"Hehehe! For Lord Roa, even dying would be worth it!"

"It hurts! It hurts! It hurts so much! Lord Roa! Does this pain please you?!"

"For Lord Roa, give up everything you have!"

Those who become ghouls are no longer human; they will do anything to carry out Roa's will.

Even if their hearts are pierced, they will laugh and swing their swords in retaliation.

Even with their limbs broken, they would still shout for Lord Roa and wriggle, trying to tear the enemy apart with their mouths.

"Madmen! They're all madmen!!"

The pirates who weren't chosen by Roa began to break down.

"This--"

Bonney stared in disbelief, "Katakuri- nii, was it like this back then too?"

Katakuri chuckled. "It's just not that exaggerated."

Ochoku gritted his teeth, his jaw grinding. "Roa!!!"

He's really become even more powerful, that monster Roa!!

Even his own subordinates started killing each other!

Roa slowly stepped forward, a pair of huge horns extending from his forehead, and his broad wings slowly unfurling.

At this moment, still largely maintaining his human form, he resembled a demon descended from hell.

"You're the only one left, Uncle Ochoku. How about I find you an opponent? If you can defeat it, I'll let you go."

Roa stamped his foot. "Come, beast of calamity, its name is Typhon!"

Boom!

The ground beneath their feet shattered instantly, and a massive chasm suddenly appeared.

This enormous chasm was bottomless, with darkness below, as if it led straight to hell.

Boom!

A giant hand suddenly reached up from below the chasm and grabbed the edge of the cliff.

The next instant, a monster crawled out of hell!
