Somewhere on the front lines of the Land of Endless War.

The endless war continues, and the front lines are still engulfed in flames.

But in this narrow mountain pass, no one knew that the leaders of the two warring factions were meeting in secret.

Neither side brought many people, only a few trusted guards.

Although the atmosphere was tense, and they wished they could draw their guns and shoot each other into sieves, both sides still tried their best to maintain restraint.

This meeting was about their common interests.

"I think there's no need for further pleasantries,"

The leader of one side spoke, leaning against the rock wall, frowning, smoking, his tone heavy, "If that monster isn't dealt with, this country will never know peace."

"We couldn't agree more."

The leader of the other side, a relatively well-dressed man, nodded solemnly, "He simply wants to see this war continue endlessly. Before he gets his fill, none of us can achieve victory."

"However, with our forces alone, even united, we absolutely cannot defeat him!"

The man with the cigarette spat out a smoke ring, "For six years, his puppets have been devastating every pirate crew that approached this country, including many great pirates with bounties exceeding 100 million! Not to mention, he has a monster like Bullet under him!"

"There's no need to worry about that,"

The well-dressed man said, "He has always stayed in our territory, so our observations of him have been more detailed. He has been deliberately concealing information, warning us that we are absolutely forbidden to reveal any news about him."

"Oh?"

The man with the cigarette's eyes lit up.

"The Rocks Pirates had a very unpleasant split back then, and their friction has been constant in the last two years. I think if those monsters knew his whereabouts, they wouldn't stand idly by!"

The well-dressed man's voice turned cold, "Not to mention the Marines! His bounty jumped by 700 million six years ago! He must have done something that made the World Government hate him to the bone!"

"Exactly!"

The man with the cigarette nodded repeatedly, "What we can't do, let those who can do it handle!"

He continued, "And what we need to do is take this opportunity to drive him and his men out of this country!"

"That's right! Next, let's discuss the specific plan."

"Plan? The plan is that you all die!"

A cold voice came from above.

Everyone secretly meeting here was stunned, then instinctively looked up.

A figure fell from the cliff, shaking the ground and kicking up dust.

"Lord Roa said he was betrayed!"

A young man with long golden hair, who was already tall and strong despite his age, looked coldly at the crowd before him.

The well-dressed man's face instantly turned pale, cold sweat beading on his forehead, "B-B-Bullet! W-Wait! You were born in this country! Gray was my old subordinate! I even held you when you were a child!"

"I only obey Lord Roa's orders!"

Bullet sneered.

As for Gray?

That guy ultimately failed to achieve his ambition of becoming king and was killed by this guy with his own hands.

And so, soon after, in his own manor, Roa saw the two leaders, trembling and slumped on the ground like piles of rotten meat.

"You actually leaked my whereabouts!"

Roa, a tall, slender, and handsome young man dressed in flamboyant clothes, was furious, "How wicked! How could you be so evil! My peaceful life is ruined now!"

The well-dressed man almost wept, pointing at the man beside him and crying, "I, I was incited by this guy! Lord Roa, please, please believe me! I absolutely wouldn't dare to do it again! Please forgive me this once!"

"Forgive?"

Roa snorted, "How can someone who betrays even a young boy like me be forgiven?"

The well-dressed man was completely dumbfounded.

"Hahahahaha! What else is there to say at this point!"

The other leader, however, burst into laughter. Knowing his fate was sealed, he mustered his courage, "Roa! You scumbag! Don't you just want to keep this country in chaos forever and control it?"

"I'm telling you! Sooner or later, someone will stand up in this country and make you pay for your blood debt!"

"What are you talking about?"

Roa asked in surprise, "You started the war, you killed people, why are you blaming me now?"

The man's impassioned emotions suddenly faltered.

"You all knelt down and begged me for help just a few years ago, and I genuinely helped you when you needed it,"

Roa sighed, "What did I do wrong to make you hate me so much? Saving you from dire straits multiple times wasn't enough, you are truly greedy."

He felt very wronged.

Even without me, the war would have continued.

I only eliminated the influence I brought, so how did I end up being a great villain?

"..."

The man was speechless.

The man in fine clothes suddenly wailed, "We were wrong! We were wrong! You are a monster who feeds on human suffering! We should never have submitted to you from the start!!"

"That's a harsh thing to say."

Roa reprimanded, "You do wrong and then you curse people, you are truly incorrigible! Ungrateful people like you only make bread more expensive by living! Bullet!"

Bullet dragged out the two people who were crying and laughing.

"Lord Roa,"

Dylan spoke calmly, "The news has already spread through the underworld, and there's no way to intercept it. What should we do?"

"There are no eternal feasts in the world, it's time to say goodbye,"

Roa sighed, "Truly, this is what they mean by 'hard to leave one's homeland', isn't it?"

He had stayed in this country for a full six years! Only one year less than Beehive Island.

Moreover, he had absorbed more black energy here than on Beehive Island, and even collected more Ghouls than on Beehive Island!

Roa felt that compared to Beehive Island, this place was more like his hometown!

Those two bastards! Forcing a thirteen-year-old boy to leave his homeland, who else deserved to die if not them?

"Alas, that's why I say, if only all countries in the world were like this one."

Roa sighed, "Forget it, Dylan, pack up, prepare to leave."

If they didn't leave soon, a few uncles and aunts would probably come knocking.

Not to mention the World Government, six years ago at God Valley, he single-handedly took down hundreds of Celestial Dragons, and might have even killed the Moon-headed one's wife and children. The Knights of God might even be dispatched.

He had to slip away.

Roa's estimation was spot on. After the news spread, the monsters reacted.

In the New World.

"Jajajaja! I knew that kid was still alive and well! The Land of Endless War, huh?"

"Mama mama! Katakuri! Let's go! Let's go pick up your good brother!"

In Mary Geoise.

"That great sinner is still alive and well? Send Garp! He must die!"

And what Roa hadn't even estimated was.

In the sky above the sea near the Land of Endless War.

"Ughahahahaha! So close! Roa! Here I come!!"
