Reassembly! The Steel Torrent! The Fearsome Calamity Knights

Three shadowy figures were rapidly falling from the sky towards the ship where Roa was.

"Tsk!"

Surrounded by a group of Demon Giant, Loki's face clearly showed his displeasure. "The annoying guys are here!"

Teach unconsciously hid behind Roa, "Boss, you have to protect me!"

Because of Bullet?

Roa said with great interest.

"You don't know,"

Teach immediately launched into a tirade of complaints, "After you left, no one could control Bullet. He trained like a madman, forcing everyone else to work even harder to become stronger!"

He said,

Doflamingo interjected quietly, "If anyone fails to satisfy you upon your return, he will crush that person's head."

"Then you should be thanking Bullet."

Roa chuckled and said, "Otherwise, he wouldn't be the one to crush your heads."

"Hahaha..."

Teach an awkward laugh twice.

Right, should I say that Bullet was simply carrying out the boss's will?

Just then, three figures suddenly crashed onto the deck of the large ship.

The three men had already knelt down on one knee in a row in front of Roa.

"Boss! Welcome back!" X3

Three voices rang out simultaneously.

Roa sized up the three people in front of him.

Abel is on the left.

Abel is 43 years old this year. It's clear that he hasn't been using Pure Gold yet, or he only started using it recently. He already looks like a mature middle-aged man.

He was dressed in a black leather jacket and pants, with large black wings folded behind him, and flames burning fiercely behind his head.

The one in the middle is Dylan.

He should have been using Pure Gold long ago, and there's basically no significant change since then compared to twenty-five years ago.

The one on the right is Bullet.

He is only two years younger Abel, and his appearance is about the same age as Abel.

His physique was in no way inferior to Abel, who was just over six meters tall; his muscles were bulging all over, making his dark military uniform look bulge.

The three of them looked at Roa with excitement, their eyes practically spitting fire.

It wasn't just Roa observing the three of them; Teach's slovenly subordinates were also cautiously scrutinizing Dylan and his companions.

These three men were virtually unknown on the high seas.

However, according to Teach, these three were the original executives of the Calamity Company!

Especially the two monsters named Bullet and Abel, who are super strongmen that even Captain Teach and Loki could not defeat!

So, just how powerful is the Calamity Company?

"Get up, Dylan, Bullet, Abel."

Roa chuckled, "Thank you for your hard work, I've kept you waiting."

He had doubts about whether Teach, Loki, and Moria might betray him, but he never doubted their loyalty.

These three were Roa's original and most loyal subordinates.

"How could this be!"

The three of them stood up at the same time. Dylan's tone was fervent, "Boss, your safe return is the greatest reward for us! Waiting for your return is our bounden duty!"

"That's right! Boss! Only by following behind you can we find the meaning of life!!"

Bullet's eyes welled up with tears; this man, as tough as steel, was almost in tears.

"We have finally awaited your return! Natural disaster is about to strike this world once again!"

"Boss,"

Abel stated bluntly, "For twenty-five years, we have been preparing for this day!"

"Now, with just your command, we can immediately announce to the world the return of Calamity Company!"

"Um."

Roa nodded slightly. "Then, follow me again."

"This time, we'll turn the world upside down."

"Yes!"

The three responded in unison, their faces filled with barely suppressed excitement.

They have waited a full twenty-five years!

During this long period of time, they also hesitated and struggled with whether the Boss would ever come back.

But each time, they quickly reaffirmed their beliefs.

The boss will return sooner or later!

All they have to do is strengthen the power of the Calamity Company!

With Pure Gold available, they can wait for tens of thousands of years!

Fortunately, the Boss has returned in just twenty-five years! Although twenty-five years is a long time, it is not too long.

"Hahaha! The war is about to begin!"

Behind Roa, Teach grinned slyly, "After twenty-five years, our Calamity Company is finally able to launch a full-scale attack again!"

"Teach!"

At that moment, Bullet suddenly glared fiercely at Teach, "You bastard, what have you been doing these past few years? Sending back fewer and fewer resources."

"This isn't my fault!"

Teach quickly retorted, "As our reputation grows, the World Government's pursuit and suppression of us will naturally intensify! Gathering resources will naturally become more difficult!"

"Hmph, that's for the best."

Bullet snorted, then a cold smile crept across his face. "And Teach, Doflamingo, Bege, and—"

He turned his head and glanced again at Loki, who was standing not far away. "Loki, you guys had better not slack off these past few years!"

Roa raised an eyebrow. "They're really strict."

"Tsk."

Loki snorted in annoyance, "You bastard, who do you think you are! You still want to treat me like a brat and teach me a lesson!"

"Hahaha, you don't need to worry about that, Bullet!"

Teach laughed heartily, "The Boss already tested us back on Beehive Island! He was very satisfied."

"Um."

Roa nodded slightly. "Teach and Loki are both quite strong."

"Since you're satisfied, Boss, it seems they really did a great job."

Bullet bowed his head respectfully once again.

"Alright,"

Roa looked up at the enormous creature floating in mid-air. "Aren't you going to take me back to see what kind of power you've accumulated over these twenty-five years?"

"Yes!"

Dylan nodded solemnly. "Boss, please come with us then. Judge is eager to tell you about all the achievements he has made in the past twenty-five years."

I'm really looking forward to it too.

Roa raised the corners of his mouth.

Then, the colossal object in the sky lowered its altitude again, and the clouds on this side suddenly changed shape, forming a huge passage leading to this Sky City.

Even more amazingly, the clouds that resembled steps on the passageway kept rolling upwards, just like an escalator.

"That's interesting."

Roa Yaxin walked up to her.

Dylan followed closely behind him and explained, "These are all the masterpieces of the meteorologists in Visalia. The clouds surrounding this base are special creations, somewhere between Sea Cloud and Island Cloud. They can change shape at will and are also tangible."

Roa nodded slightly. "Are those old men still alive?"

He also remembered that most of the meteorologists in Visalia were elderly men with Whitebeard.

"Yes, Boss, because of the presence of Pure Gold, they are all still alive and well."

Dylan said.

So, the appearance of Pure Gold really was perfectly timed, and it even made a special trip to the moon before traveling through time. Could it be that this was truly some kind of guidance from fate?

That's interesting.

A leisurely smile played on Roa's lips.

Did fate choose me?

Not bad at all.

Soon, the escalator made of clouds reached its end. Before Roa could even take in the view, he heard an excited shout.

"Boss! You're finally back!"

A man rushed over, tears streaming down his face from overwhelming excitement.

"Oh, it's Judge?"

Roa chuckled softly, "You haven't changed at all since then."

She's even a bit heavier than she was 25 years ago, and her complexion has improved considerably.

Could it be that we've become complacent over the past twenty-five years?

That won't do.

You're so young, it's the perfect time to strive and work hard. At this age, can you sleep soundly at night?

"It's all thanks to the Pure Gold you left behind, Boss!"

Judge wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, then his expression suddenly turned proud. He stepped aside, waving his right hand behind him, "Boss! Behold, the power we've accumulated for you over these twenty-five years!"

"Oh."

Roa's eyes widened slightly.

Unlike the Calamity City of yesteryear, the top deck of this Sky City is completely flat, almost like a small plain.

Meanwhile, on this enormous platform, in front of Roa, stood a dense, dark mass of massive ships.

All the ships are large vessels, each 500 meters long, made entirely of metal, without masts or sails, and with an overall spindle-shaped structure.

"Even though I've seen it many times, it's still so breathtaking."

Teach, who was following behind Roa, couldn't help but sigh.

"What's this?"

Roa approached the massive metal ships with great interest.

"It's an improved spaceship!"

Judge quickly explained, "Because the original Sky City were too slow, they were originally designed to connect the Sky Island to the Moon."

"I specifically designed a turbine propulsion system that greatly increases the speed of these spacecraft, significantly reducing the travel time from the Sky Island to the moon."

"But then I thought, these ships could be used in war; they possess the power to dominate the skies! So, we built fifty Sky Battleship intermittently!"

"Based on this new Calamity City, even without Enel as an energy source, their maximum combat radius is over two thousand kilometers! Even after the energy is depleted, they can continue flying using weather technology, though at a much slower speed! Add to that the ground-attack weapons mounted on the ships, and they can easily suppress an entire sea area!"

Is Enel an energy source?

Roa smiled.

This explains why warships with a maximum combat radius of only two thousand kilometers can easily travel between the Sky Island and the moon.

"Not bad."

Roa smiled and nodded.

This Sky City is an aerospace carrier, and these Sky Battleship are carrier-based aircraft.

Its enormous size even allows it to be used as a transport aircraft.

After passing through the square formation of fifty enormous metal ships, Roa saw a sea of people.

A sea of black heads formed a dark cloud.

Of course, they all have the same face, and to be honest, it's really scary when you look closely; it's like you've stumbled into a horror movie.

At least the few pirates who were obediently following Teach were startled.

Burgess was initially looking at the enormous ships with amazement when he was so frightened by the copy-paste soldiers that he almost screamed.

"Boss, these are the latest generation of Artificial Human Soldiers, totaling 150,000."

Judge explained, "Their strength and stamina are about twice that of the Clone soldiers from twenty-five years ago! Their lifespan is also no different from that of ordinary people."

"Um?"

Roa raised an eyebrow slightly, "Lifespan no different from ordinary people?"

Judge immediately realized that the Boss's penchant for tormenting people had kicked in again.

He quickly added, "Because resources are limited, and we don't know exactly when you'll be back, so to avoid waste... after all, it's impossible to equip all the Clone soldiers with Pure Gold..."

"Tsk, what a pity."

Roa sighed.

No wonder the concentration of black energy in this floating city wasn't much higher than outside.

Disappointing.

Beyond the densely Clone soldiers lay thousands of tanks and armored vehicles, along with heavy artillery several times the number of tanks and armored vehicles combined.

Upon seeing this queue, only one thought flashed through Roa's mind.

A torrent of steel.

That's enough to fight World War II.

Judge said with some anticipation, "My envisioned combat method is that Sky Battleship carry tanks and soldiers directly to the target location, and then carry out a saturation bombardment from the sky, basically destroying the enemy's manpower. After that, the soldiers and tanks are airdropped down to clear the battlefield."

"It's just that I haven't had the chance to put it into practice yet."

It's quite modern.

Roa couldn't help but chuckle softly; it was a classic example of a steel torrent Inazuma.

It could be said that it was hundreds of years ahead of the current ocean.

"And then, Judge, is that all?"

"Of course not!"

Judge immediately became serious, "These are just the most insignificant, the least worth mentioning parts!"

"Oh?"

Roa raised an eyebrow. "That's something I'm quite curious about."

"These weapons can certainly play a crucial role in conventional warfare,"

Judge said seriously, "But in battles between true powerhouses, they're like fireworks—only good for entertainment!"

"Boss! Please come with me. What I'm about to show you are our greatest achievements over these past twenty-five years!"

Judge led Roa into a huge building in one corner of the platform.

This is actually a huge elevator; even Loki could easily enter it. It was probably designed to transport those giant warships.

The elevator went all the way down, and because there were no elevator doors, Roa could easily see the decks going up one by one.

Soon, the elevator stopped on a certain floor.

"Boss! You're finally back!!"

Another excited voice rang out, and a man who had been waiting there eagerly stepped forward.

Roa glanced at the man briefly. "Caesar?"

"Whoosh! It's me, Boss!"

Caesar, who hadn't changed much since then, was also visibly excited. "Next, I'll introduce you to the strongest legion of our Calamity Company!!"

Judge pursed his lips but didn't say anything.

"Lead the way."

"Yes!"

Soon, Caesar led Roa and the others to the edge of a spacious training ground.

It's immediately obvious that this training ground is specially made; the floor and walls are made of some kind of special alloy.

"We chose this location to show you, and to avoid damaging the Calamity City."

Caesar grinned and said, "Look, Boss! This is the Calamity Knights!"

Roa looked towards the field.

Rows of people stood neatly in the spacious training field.

It's the same old face shared with the Clone soldiers, only this one looks a bit younger.

She looks to be around twenty years old.

There were about a hundred people in total, and everyone had a blank expression.

"The Calamity Knights?"

Roa chuckled, "An evolved version of the Calamity Knights from back then?"

"That's right, Boss!"

Caesar's smile was radiant. "These are the fourth generation of artificial humans with Lineage Factor! The total number is one hundred and five!"

"They possess stronger and more diverse Lineage Factor abilities, and more importantly, they are better suited to the power of Haki!"

"Oh?"

Roa's smile widened. "Then what are we waiting for? Let's demonstrate it!"

"Yes!"

Caesar nodded with pleasure, then gave the order to the Calamity Knights on the field, "Number One and Number Two, step forward. The battle is about to begin."

Before he finished speaking, two figures suddenly darted out from the queue.

The two looked almost identical, differing only in hair color; one had gray hair, and the other had blue hair.

The two figures collided almost instantly, and a surge of energy spread outwards, accompanied by leaping bolts of Haki Inazuma.

"Oh."

Roa raised an eyebrow. "Not bad, that's Haki."

With his keen eyesight, he could clearly see that the fists of the two androids colliding were covered with a dark, domineering Haki.

Armament Haki of a genuine, hardened level.

The two androids were evenly matched, and after one punch, both were sent flying backward.

Then.

The gray-haired android suddenly roared.

The air in front of him instantly began to distort, and an invisible force caused even the hard ground to tremble.

Sound waves?

Roa instantly understood the essence of this android's abilities.

At the same time, the blue-haired android pushed forward with both hands, and the white mist suddenly spread out, instantly forming a huge ice wall.

Boom!

The sound waves collided with the ice wall, instantly triggering a violent explosion, and white mist spread out.

Then, in the next instant, the fog was blown away by a sudden gust of wind.

The two figures clashed again.

However, by this time they had already changed their form!

The gray-haired android turned into a gray tiger, and the blue-haired android turned into a blue lion!

Their claws, wreathed in Haki, were desperately tearing at each other.

Roa turned his head in surprise and looked at Judge.

Judge nodded solemnly, "Artificial Devil Fruit."

Roa whistled.

It's not over yet!

The two androids separated again and instantly entered their orc form.

Then, they patted their waists, and in a dazzling light, a gray and blue Battle Suit each covered their bodies.

The two collided heavily again in the next instant, iron fist against flying kick.

Boom!!

A violent shockwave immediately spread outwards, causing the metal floor to creak and groan.

"This!!"

Teach's subordinate, Lafitte, was covered in cold sweat. "This power!"

They're even stronger than them!!

Roa couldn't help but smile, his eyes crinkling. "Interesting. With the Battle Suit, it's not much different from Bege's."

In other words, the force is approaching disaster levels!

And there are over a hundred of these Calamity Knights here!
