The enormous ship, as large as an island, rose and fell gently on the sea of New World.

No matter how strong the wind or how huge the waves, it is really difficult to shake it.

But at this moment, the people on this large ship felt uneasy and anxious.

Inside the enormous castle, Moria sat quietly on his ancient throne.

He rested his chin on his interlaced fingers, a hint of melancholy on his face, and looked at his companions before him, his voice low and somber, "You really don't want to leave?"

"What are you saying, Lord Moria!"

A man with a chin and nose like a lion's, and obvious stitches on his face, shouted, "You are my savior! I've already decided that I'll follow you for the rest of my life!"

"Me too! Lord Moria!"

The woman with pink pigtails stood beside Moria, her face also solemn. "Without you, I would have died somewhere in the ocean long ago!"

Moria sighed softly and looked at his other companions.

The others responded with serious looks.

So Moria could only shake his head. "In that case, come with me!"

"However, Lord Moria, isn't that man named Calamity Roa very difficult to get along with?"

"Pink hair with twin ponytails, "Perona asked cautiously.

Although I've decided to return to the Calamity Company with Lord Moria, the new boss seems to have a bad reputation.

After all, the newspapers all say that he is the most evil man in history, a demon who feeds on human suffering!

Perona was genuinely frightened.

"Is he really that terrifying? You're even willing to give up your status Shichibukai for him!"

The Leo man, Absalom, also asked curiously.

Being a Shichibukai (one of the Shichibukai) brings a lot of convenience.

They can sail freely all over the world without worrying about naval attacks.

But now, simply because of that man's return, Lord Moria has already decided without hesitation to give up his status Shichibukai and return to the Calamity Company.

Although it was Lord Moria's decision, and he himself decided to follow it, Absalom couldn't help but harbor some resentment in his heart.

Is it really a good thing to go back to being an ordinary pirate, even one subordinate to others?

You don't understand.

Moria let out a slow sigh of relief. "That man, Roa, he's a monster beyond human imagination!"

"Not only because he possesses extraordinary power, but also because he is a ruthless madman!"

"Don't say I refused to return to the Calamity Company; it's probably just because I hesitated a little."

He raised his head and looked around at his companions. "You are about to suffer unimaginable torment."

"Hey!"

Perona couldn't help but exclaim, "So it was us?"

"What Roa enjoys most is watching others suffer."

Moria's voice trembled slightly, "And he's also best at making people feel pain."

Moria knew all too well just how terrifying a monster Roa was.

He knew all too well the terrifying power that the Calamity Company, located far away on the moon, had accumulated over the long years.

If they choose betrayal, then no one in the world can save them.

We can't expect the World Government to protect them at all costs, can we?

Not to mention, his former partners are still working in the factories of the Calamity Company.

Even after so many years, Moria still can't forget them.

Therefore, he had no choice from the very beginning.

In fact, Moria originally planned to disband the Moria Pirates and let his crew members leave on their own.

However, his charisma was too great, and everyone had to follow him.

"Perona, Absalom, Hogback, and everyone!"

Moria looked around at all his companions gathered before him and said earnestly, "There's only one secret to getting along with Roa!"

"Never disobey him!"

"No matter how ridiculous or absurd the order, obey! Only by obeying can you survive!"

Perona, Absalom, Hogback, Moria, and all their companions unconsciously swallowed.

That sounds absolutely terrifying!

Even the incredibly powerful Lord Moria has said such a thing!

Just how terrifying is that Calamity Roa?

"Captain Moria!! He's here! He's here!!"

Just then, a pirate stumbled in, screaming.

His face was strangely pale. "Something terrible is coming from the sky!"

Let's go!

Moria immediately stood up and led all his companions out of the castle.

"Hey! What's that?!"

Perona's face, which could normally be described as cute, became incredibly comical in that instant.

His eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets, and snot was flying out of his nose.

It wasn't that she was overreacting; it was simply that what appeared before her was too shocking!

An island! An enormous, unimaginably large island is slowly descending from the sky!

The ship they were on was already enormous, but it paled in comparison to the island that had fallen from the sky!

Is that enormous creature surrounded by white clouds the ship of the Calamity Company?

"They're here!"

Moria gritted his teeth slightly.

Roa has reunited with Dylan and the others, and the Calamity Company has returned to its peak!

No, it should be said that it has far surpassed the power it had twenty-five years ago!

At that moment, the island surrounded by white clouds slowly descended.

Just when Moria's companions thought the island was about to crush them, the white clouds on one side of the island suddenly transformed, extending down to form a giant, upward-reaching staircase.

Let's go!

Moria, with a resolute look in his eyes, took the lead and led everyone up the stairs.

Amidst unease and trepidation, Perona and the others quickly followed.

Ascending the stairs to the middle of this colossal structure, a passageway opens up to the interior, ending at a massive, open doorway.

Outside the main gate.

"Hahaha! Moria! Long time no see!"

Teach stood there, smiling as he greeted Moria, "You look great."

Perona instinctively hid behind Moria.

Hellhound Teach, an even more terrifying pirate Lord Moria!

Has that infamous guy returned?

"Teach!"

Moria's lips slowly curled into a smile. "So you're back too?"

"We all know that, don't we? If we don't come to see the Boss right away, we're doomed."

Teach chuckled and said, "But you, Moria, you're way too slow. Be careful the Boss doesn't get angry."

Moria's expression stiffened slightly, then he said nonchalantly, "I come from the West Blue, unlike you who were originally from the New World."

"Hahaha! Say what you will, let's go, the boss is waiting for you."

Without further ado, Teach turned and led the way.

Moria took a deep breath and followed.

Perona and the others quickly followed.

But they were also inevitably shocked.

Even a monster like Teach said that if he had returned even a little bit late, he would have been doomed.

Just how terrifying is that Lord Roa?

As they continued along the impossibly wide passage, the members of the Moria Pirates witnessed even more things that left them in awe.

Soldiers who all looked exactly alike, furry Mink Tribe, diminutive robots, and demonic giants.

That's amazing!

Then, very quickly, Teach led them to the outside of a luxurious palace.

Moria abruptly stopped, turned around, and solemnly said to his companions, "Remember what I said before!"

"Yes!"

Everyone nodded solemnly at the same time.

Then, they followed Teach into the palace.

"Oh! Moria, it has indeed been a long time for you, hasn't it?"

A cheerful, relaxed young voice rang out.

Without any hesitation, Moria immediately knelt on one knee. "Boss, I'm sorry I'm late!"

His companions didn't even dare to look up, and quickly knelt down as well.

I thought you weren't coming back.

Perona watched as Lord Moria trembled before her eyes.

Lord Moria seems genuinely frightened!

"How could this be, Boss?"

Moria lowered his head, trying to make his voice more respectful, "I am also a member of the Calamity Company! Becoming Shichibukai is just part of the plan!"

Roa observed the extremely respectful Moria with great interest, the man's heart now brimming with trepidation and unease.

Honestly, am I really that scary?

However, he's maintained a good physique and is still quite fit, completely different from the fat, slovenly character in the original work.

Roa smiled gently, "Get up, it's good that you're back. I was worried about what would have happened if you hadn't come back."

Call!

Moria breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems we've passed this hurdle!

But he hadn't actually done anything to betray us.

Upon learning of his return, they rushed over to pay their respects.

Even so, Moria still felt a lingering sense of fear.

Roa —no, Boss—is probably worried about how to deal with himself in a way that would cause him the most pain if he didn't come back.

Thinking this, Moria stood up.

Twenty-five years later, he saw Roa again.

The handsome young man hadn't changed at all since twenty-five years ago; after all, he had come from a place that had traversed that long period of time.

Beneath his high throne stood Dylan, Bullet, Abel, Teach, Loki, Enel, Doflamingo, and Bege, flanking him.

Each of them is an extraordinary monster; to be honest, Moria is only absolutely confident that he can defeat Bege.

Perona, who had stood up alongside Moria, also cautiously raised her eyes to examine Roa.

Just as young as she looks in the newspaper!

It's hard to imagine that he was such a big shot who roamed the seas more than 20 years ago!

Was it truly as Lord Moria said, that he descended directly into the world after spanning twenty-five years?

And he's so handsome!

Just as she was swooning over her crush, Perona suddenly met a pair of eyes that seemed to be both smiling and not smiling.

Scare!

The girl with pink pigtails turned pale instantly and quickly lowered her head.

Roa looked at Perona with great interest. Although she immediately lowered her head, her round eyes were indeed very special.

In an era where everyone looks like Nami or Robin, this woman is a noble and independent model!

Cute, I want it.

However, fate is truly wondrous.

In the original work, Perona was adopted by Moria when she was a child. However, in this timeline, Moria only returned to the Blue Sea five years ago, but Perona still became Moria's subordinate.

Even the other two scoundrels joined Moria's ranks, just like in the original story.

"Hey, Moria,"

Roa said directly, "This girl is very cute. I like cute girls. Let her be my maid."

He is a man who is true to his desires; he wants it, so he asks for it.

"Boss?"

Moria's pupils suddenly contracted, and he quickly said, "If you like cute girls, I can help you find some, but Perona, she's like a daughter to me—"

His voice abruptly stopped.

Oops!

I misspoke!

Roa's smile widened as he looked at Moria with great interest. "Why did you stop talking?"

Moria was silent.

The more the boss emphasizes Perona's importance to him, the happier he becomes.

That's just the kind of person he is!

Is this punishment for being late?

What do you think?

Seeing that Moria remained silent, Roa looked at Perona.

The pink-haired, twin-tailed gothic lolita's slender legs were trembling. She subconsciously looked at Moria for help, but all she saw was Moria's trembling back.

She suddenly remembered what Moria had just said.

He said, "Obey!"

Before this boss, there is no choice but to obey.

"Yes, Lord Roa!"

Perona sniffed and cautiously said, "I do."

Absolutely, we mustn't cause Lord Moria any trouble.

"Perona-- "

Moria felt his heart clench.

"It's alright, Lord Moria!"

Perona smiled brightly, "Lord Roa so handsome, I wonder how many women would love to be his maid!"

Moria felt a surge of anger welling up inside him.

Even his shadow trembled beneath his feet.

But the next moment, he dejectedly deactivated his ability.

Otherwise, the consequences would be unbearable for him.

Today, his hands trembled; today, his heart ached!

Not to mention Moria, even Teach couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

The Boss didn't take Moria seriously at all.

Rather, in his heart, weren't all the people at Calamity Company really nothing?

After all, this man alone is enough to rise above everything in the Natural Calamity Company.

At this moment, Roa took a deep breath with a look of rapture.

Five ants!

Shortly thereafter.

Egghead Island.

This island was originally a research base for the Marine Science Unit.

It was then occupied by the Calamity Company and transformed into a factory area.

During the twenty years that the Calamity Company was away from the sea, this place was reoccupied by the World Government and has been used as a production base ever since.

However, the island was now deserted; the World Government's officials and the naval personnel stationed there had all evacuated.

After all, Roa has returned, so his revenge will surely come soon.

And on this day...

A huge island floated above this island.

Soon after, a series of enormous warships also broke through the waves and arrived.

On the deck of the largest warship, Kaido looked up at the island in the sky, "That Shiki came really fast!"

"After all, he can take the entire island with him when he flies."

Behind him stood a tall, muscular middle-aged man, the Lizard King Hanafusa, the big signboard of the Beasts Pirates, who spoke with a smile.

"Hahaha! That Judge will be here this time too, won't he!"

Beside him stood the fat man, Sien, a cigar dangling from his mouth, who grinned and said, "Haven't seen him in over twenty years. I wonder how that guy is doing these days!"

"Dad! Will we finally get to see the Calamity Roa this time?!"

Two teenagers stood beside Hanafusa.

They all had a pair of horns on their heads and wore masks. The one speaking now was the girl, her voice filled with anticipation.

"Is he really that powerful? Kaido isn't his match?"

"It's not just that they're not a match for you."

Yamato, standing beside Kaido, turned slightly upon hearing this, "Brother Roa is terrifyingly strong; Father was completely powerless against him!"

"Snort!"

Kaido scoffed, "What's there to compare him to? That brat's not even human anymore."

"Hey!"

The girl with a pair of horns on her head, Hanafusa's eldest daughter, Ulti, widened her round eyes even more, "She's actually that strong!"

"Mr. Kaido!"

A Fish-Man with green hair suddenly shouted at the top of his lungs, "The Charlotte Family is here too!"

Kaido looked to one side and saw that on the distant sea, a series of large, flashy ships were rapidly approaching.

"The Flying Pirates, the Charlotte Family, and our Beasts Pirates!"

Even taller and more robust than Kaido, this Fish-Man, one of the Beasts Pirates' biggest names, exclaimed Jack with a hint of excitement, "Three of the World's Strongest pirate crews are gathered here!"

"This time, it will surely be a battle that shakes the world!"

"Hey! What's that?!"

A man with horns on his head, wearing a red suit and trousers, his muscular chest exposed, and a mask partially covering his face, looked up, his voice filled with utter astonishment.

"Another island has arrived!!"

A colossal object, shrouded in white clouds, slowly descended from the distant sky!

"Roa's here too!"

Kaido's face lit up with excitement. "Hehehe! Is it finally going to begin!"

"A natural disaster, Roa?"

Page One, the younger brother of Ulti and a high-ranking officer of the Beasts Pirates, also had eyes full of anticipation.

On the island floating in the sky, the Golden Lion stood at its edge, gazing at the rapidly approaching island.

"Has Roa already joined up with Dylan and the others? But what kind of terrible thing have they gotten themselves into this time?"

On the sea below, Katakuri couldn't help but look up, exclaiming, "It's way too big!"
