The Assassin! Ginny! The Shichibukai! Moria

Upon closer reflection, this is not something that is difficult to understand.

Twenty-five years ago, the biggest obstacle to weapon systems was simply the manufacturing process.

After the mechanical artifacts left behind by the Birka people were found on the moon, the technological deficiencies were largely mitigated.

After more than 20 years of continuous research, it is quite normal to have achieved this.

It can now be said that this skyship is only one step away from Pluton in a truly meaningful way.

But.

"The energy system is still too complex; it's far from being truly complete."

Judge sighed, his eyes filled with complicated emotions. "Boss, I'm sorry, I've let you down."

"You're good enough, Judge."

Roa chuckled, "We have plenty of time, don't we?"

It's really not Judge, since even Vegapunk in the original work didn't truly complete the Mother Flame until two years after Luffy.

Judge's research capabilities are still somewhat inferior to Vegapunk's. Even though he has more research data in this timeline, his abilities are indeed stuck there.

Perhaps we'll need Vegapunk's help.

Since he's been helping the World Government with energy research, he probably wouldn't mind providing some of that data as well, right?

Old Bertrand is a good man. Since he's a good man, he certainly wouldn't want to see Stussy die because of him, right?

"Yes, Boss!"

Hearing Roa's words of comfort, Judge regained his spirits, "I will never let you down!"

The boss is back, and sooner or later this world will be in his grasp!

As long as we follow him closely, the revival of the Vinsmoke Family will be just around the corner!

"Very good."

Roa nodded in satisfaction.

Then Judge took Roa to see the unfinished energy system.

Like the Mother Flame depicted in the original work, it is a faint flame burning within a huge metal pillar.

However, according to Judge, even the unfinished energy system could provide an astonishing energy output, enough for the Sky City to keep flying in the air and unleash terrifying firepower.

After touring the unfinished energy system, Judge led Roa to the next deck.

There is a huge greenhouse here.

Artificial sunlight and the platinum glow emanating from platinum metal made from Pure Gold simultaneously illuminate this greenhouse.

Growing quietly in this greenhouse are the Devil Fruit.

If Big Brother Kaido saw this, he'd probably cry tears of envy.

But Roa found it utterly boring.

After all, as Judge said, there are still hundreds of ordinary Zoan Devil Fruit in the warehouse.

Even the entire Calamity Knights are Zoan- type Devil Fruit users, and the five Vinsmoke brothers, who are the leaders of the Calamity Knights, are all Ancient Zoan.

Big Brother Kaido, who is the real Beasts Pirates now?

During the visit, Roa also saw many Mink Tribe and even more small robots.

"Those Mink Tribe who joined us back then were also taken to the moon by us,"

Judge explained, "More than twenty years have passed, and now it has reproduced to the second generation."

Unlike the first generation of the Mink Tribe warriors who were reluctant to join the fight, the second generation of the Mink Tribe have a strong sense of belonging to the company.

"The best warriors among them were selected by Dylan to form an assassin team, and the most outstanding members were even granted matching Zoan Devil Fruit! I also equipped them with special Battle Suit that allow them to become invisible! They should be the best assassins under your command!"

"Oh, not bad at all."

Roa nodded slowly.

Although they are definitely no match for the Calamity Knights, their average level is far inferior.

However, when combined with drugs that allow them to directly enter Sulong state, their strength is definitely not weak.

Combined with his extraordinary speed and the invisibility Battle Suit that Judge mentioned, he would indeed be a killer who strikes fear into the hearts of many.

However, Roa then thought, who could these assassins possibly be targeting?

Is there anyone in this world who needs him to resort to such methods to deal with them?

The only enemy left is Imu; the others are just weaklings who can be easily crushed.

Would assassination still work on Imu?

Just for fun.

The busy little robots are also just for fun.

Compared to ordinary Clone soldiers, they naturally possess far greater combat capabilities.

However, its intelligence level is still much lower than that of a human, and energy is also a problem, making it unable to sustain long-term combat.

Therefore, although Judge also created a batch of small robots, they were only left in this new Calamity City to be used as servants and workers.

At this point, all the power accumulated over the past twenty-five years had finally been fully explained to Roa.

Roa was very satisfied with this.

What does "strong army and powerful horses" mean?

Well, now we also need to add thousands of old Den Demon Giant.

They have now landed in this new Calamity City, led by Loki.

However, due to their large size and sheer number, it's impossible to assign them housing for the time being, so they'll have to sleep on the top deck for now.

However, looking at it this way, even without his intervention, the Calamity Company seems capable of easily defeating Uncle Shiki and his crew.

Oh well, what can I do? I'm kind-hearted, so I'll just let Uncle Shiki and his crew ride the wave of the situation.

Apart from Moria, all the executives of the Calamity Company finally reunited after many years.

And so, naturally, a grand banquet began.

Everything seemed to have returned to what it was twenty-five years ago.

"Next,"

Roa raised his glass, smiling as he declared to his men, "It's the long-awaited war! Let's take back everything that rightfully belongs to us!"

"I can't wait!"

Bullet clenched his fists, his eyes blazing with fury.

He has been silently accumulating strength for twenty-five years, and now it is finally time to unleash it completely!

"We will crush everything in our path for you, Boss!"

Abel's gaze was equally firm, and his tone was solemn.

War is imminent!

After the pleasant banquet, Roa returned to the accommodations that Dylan had prepared for him.

It is a luxurious palace located in the central area of this new Calamity City.

Inside the palace, someone was already waiting for Roa.

"Oh! It's my kitten and my bunny."

Roa waved to the two of them, and the kitten and the rabbit immediately nestled into his arms as obediently as they had twenty-five years ago.

The kittens and bunnies have matured a bit since then, but not by much; it's likely that Dylan gave them Pure Gold to use a long time ago.

At that moment, the two adorable little animals, just like they did years ago, nestled softly in Roa's arms, saying, "Boss, you're finally back! We missed you so much!"

Who can dislike clingy cats and rabbits?

Roa took a deep breath of air from his little pet.

It's been a long time—but it doesn't seem like it's been that long, does it?

Roa looked up at the person who had remained standing still the whole time. "Hey, Ginny, shouldn't you say something to me?"

The pink-haired woman, who hadn't changed much in twenty-five years, pursed her lips, then bowed slightly to Roa, her face expressionless. "Welcome back, Boss."

"Wow, that's really indifferent."

Roa clicked her tongue. "I also wanted to tell you about Xiong's recent situation over the years."

"..."

Ginny's pupils twitched slightly, but she still silently shook her head. "I'm your person, Boss. That person has nothing to do with me anymore."

"Ah?"

Roa raised an eyebrow and slightly beckoned with his finger.

The surging Haki transformed into a jet-black arm, which grabbed Ginny and pulled her towards him.

The immense force caused Ginny's entire body to tremble, and the woman's face instantly turned ashen, her eyes revealing pain.

Roa raised his hand to stroke the woman's delicate face, and said with a sigh, "Wouldn't that be quite boring?"

Ginny had indeed become somewhat numb; even the dark aura emanating from her body no longer tasted as delicious as it used to.

"Boss, I just want to stay by your side wholeheartedly."

This is how Ginny answered.

"Is that so?"

Roa sighed, "That's really heartless, Ginny. You probably don't know, but that guy Bear named his daughter Bonney."

"She's a very cute child, with beautiful pink hair just like yours."

He probably never forgot you!

"..."

Ginny's eyes suddenly trembled.

Then.

"Ugh!"

Roa took a deep breath, looking completely blissful. "Perfect!"

We can eat now.

The night is still long.

Late at night.

Surrounded by his two furry pets, Roa had fallen into a deep, baby-like sleep.

Ginny, however, was still awake.

She sat motionless on the large, soft bed, like a puppet, quietly looking down at Roa's handsome sleeping face.

The monster has finally returned.

"Thinking about it is pointless; obedience is our only option."

A calm voice rang out.

Jin Yu Ginny raised her head and looked at Kozuki Toki, who was sitting quietly on the other side of the bed.

She looked into the woman's strange eyes, remained silent for a moment, and finally spoke slowly, "What's wrong with you right now?"

"Have no idea."

Kozuki Toki slowly shook her head, a bitter smile appearing on the woman's exquisite face.

Am I still alive? Or have I already died? I don't know.

Ginny was slightly taken aback.

"If you don't want to end up like me, don't even think about disobeying him. He wants to see you suffer, so just let him see it."

Kozuki Toki said, "Don't think about dying. You should know what he would do after you die."

"..."

Ginny could only weep silently.

While fast asleep, Roa suddenly smacked his lips, as if he had tasted something delicious, and revealed a childlike, joyful smile.

Time will come shortly.

This is the Holy Land Mary Geoise.

In a spacious conference room in Pangea Castle.

"Hahaha, so it turns out it's just the two of us?"

Crocodile leaned back leisurely in his chair, arrogantly crossing his legs and putting them on the table in front of him.

In this spacious conference room, there was only one other man besides him.

Captain John, a renowned pirate who was famous for decades, a former high-ranking officer of the Rocks Pirates, and now one of the Shichibukai, sat somewhat dejectedly in his chair, gulping down his drink.

"So,"

Crocodile scrutinized the man with interest. "Were you scared out of your wits by that Roa guy? Because of the deaths of Ochoku and Silver Axe?"

Captain John's body finally stiffened slightly, then he raised his head, his cloudy eyes looking at Crocodile.

Then, the man chuckled, "What do you know? The terror of that guy Roa is beyond your comprehension."

"I'm very curious."

The conference room door was pushed open, and a tall, imposing man carrying a large, black sword strode in.

"What extraordinary power does that legendary, most evil man in history possess?!"

"Um?"

Watching the man walk in and pull out a chair to sit down, Crocodile couldn't help but raise an eyebrow with a smile. "I never expected someone like you to come here."

One of the Shichibukai, the man known as the World's Greatest Swordsman, Hawkeye Jora Mihawk adjusted the brim of his top hat.

"I heard that Roa was one of the most renowned swordsmen in the world more than twenty years ago. How can we not come and see an opponent like that?"

"Want to fight Roa?"

Captain John, drunk, glanced at Hawkeye and then scoffed, "You fool."

He couldn't have beaten Roa twenty-five years ago, let alone Roa has gone a step further in this long period of time and even has the ability to break through to immortality.

"However, you are right about one thing: Roa was indeed the strongest swordsman back then."

Captain John, drunk, said, "After all, even Shiki or Roger couldn't forge Black Blade."

"Black Blade!"

Hawkeye's eyes flashed with a sharp light. "Then it's even more necessary to see him!"

Black Blade!

The symbol of a top-tier swordsman!

Just hearing about it made Hawkeye's hands itch!

At that moment, the conference room door was pushed open again.

With an afro and wearing Justice Coat, Fleet Admiral Sengoku strode in.

He casually glanced at the three people in the office, then spoke in a cold tone, "Are you all here?"

"Is everyone here?"

Crocodile paused for a moment, then chuckled and said, "So, only the three of us responded to the summons?"

"Ochoku and Silver Axe have been killed by the Calamity Roa,"

Sengoku said Jinbe, "Moria has disappeared, and Jinbe said he has too many company matters to attend to and will join us after the war officially begins, so it's just the three of you."

"Guhahahaha!"

Crocodile burst into laughter. "So, Moria is going back to the Calamity Company, and Jinbe is waiting for the right offer, right?"

"Enough with the nonsense,"

Sengoku completely ignored Crocodile's sarcasm, saying, "The government has granted you privileges; now it's time for you to repay them."

"In the upcoming war against the Calamity Roa, you must go all out. Any slackening will result in you suffering the consequences."

"Hahaha! That's really scary!"

Crocodile laughed heartily.

Hawkeye didn't even lift an eyelid. "I have one request: I want to fight the Calamity Roa."

Sengoku gave him a deep look. "That request is possible."

The World Government's forces have been fully assembled.

Meanwhile, the New World.

In the latter part of the New World, a large floating Sky Island glides through the air.

In Wano Country.

Huge warships have already set sail.

In Totto Land.

The massive ships, filled with laughter and cheers, also sailed forward, cutting through the waves.

Troops are rapidly gathering here as well.

At the same time.

Above the sky near the Giant Kingdom.

Roa was observing a battle.

In a specially designed training ground.

"Forehead!"

Teach grunted and flew backward like a cannonball, crashing heavily into the incredibly hard wall.

The incredibly hard wall, made of a special alloy, was smashed open with a huge hole in that instant.

The black Inazuma on Bullet's arm, which had transformed into a giant Mercury Giant hundreds of meters tall, slowly dissipated after he punched Teach away.

He scoffed, "Some progress, but still a long way off!"

"Hiss!"

Having already entered orc form, Teach grinned as he emerged from the hole. "It's not over yet, Bullet!"

As he spoke, pitch-black flames spread from his body, instantly forming a gigantic black three-headed dog.

"Oh."

Roa, watching from the sidelines, raised an eyebrow slightly.

Willpower!

Teach used a move similar to Big Brother Kaido's.

The enormous, jet-black three-headed dog, hundreds of meters long, lunged at the Mercury Giant.

Each step left a dark footprint on the ground, with flames burning fiercely.

Everyone says you still have a long way to go!

Bullet sneered, "Mercury Wave!!"

A massive tsunami suddenly surged forth!

The immeasurable amount of mercury transformed into surging waves, rolling and crushing towards Teach.

Even more so, this giant wave of mercury was shrouded in a domineering, dark Haki!

"Something's really off about this Armament Haki!"

Teach grumbled as he crashed heavily into the mercury-red waves.

The black flames spread across the mercury, causing it to evaporate continuously.

However, the relentless waves continued to push the massive Cerberus backward.

"Hateful!!"

Teach gritted his teeth.

It was like being hit head-on by a mountain range!

What immense power!

But, in the next instant, Teach suddenly looked up.

Bullet had already broken free of the Mercury Giant form and had now leaped above him, raising his right arm high.

A mercury fist, hundreds of meters in diameter, extends from the right arm!

It almost filled the entire training ground, which is several hundred meters high!

"Ultimate Cannon!"

An enormous fist slammed down, Inazuma Haki!

"Hahaha!"

Teach's forehead was covered in cold sweat, but there was no way to dodge at this point. He could only laugh strangely and control the giant black dog to leap up. Above the head of this fire monster, there was also a powerful dual-colored Haki.

Boom!!

The collision of the two colossal objects caused the entire training ground to tremble violently, and even the aftershocks alone shattered the walls and floors.

Then.

Black flames spread, and the enormous dog was smashed into the ground with a single punch.

That's all.

The massive, mountain-sized mercury fist did not exert any further downward force; it merely maintained its hold on Teach.

"I lost."

Teach released the fire hound and looked at the enormous fist that was almost touching his face, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

That bastard Bullet has gotten even stronger than he did five years ago!

Is it because of the implantation of Lineage Factor?

"Good."

Roa gave a satisfied compliment.

It's no exaggeration to say that he seems to be even stronger than Big Brother Kaido.

A physique honed to its absolute limit, an unparalleled Haki of dominance, incomparably powerful abilities, plus newly implanted Lineage Factor.

The power of the Bullet needs no further explanation.

"The Lineage Factor that Bullet chose only provides a simple enhancement of strength."

"But it really suits him," Judge said with a smile.

"Really."

Roa nodded in agreement.

Nearby, Doc Q and the others who had also come to watch the battle were dumbfounded.

Is it really that powerful?

Even Teach was basically only able to passively take the hits!

"I'm next!"

Loki eagerly stepped forward.

Just then, Dylan walked over and whispered in Roa's ear,

"Boss, Moria has arrived in the nearby waters."

"Oh?"
