The Shocking Truth! The Whereabouts of the Rubber Fruit! World, Fear Us!

Fear us!

Monsters gathered on the shore of Egghead Island.

The ships of the Beasts Pirates and the Charlotte Family both docked on the west side of the island.

Both groups disembarked and landed on the island's shore.

"Hehehe! Linlin! Looks like it was a complete waste of time!"

Kaido, carrying his spiked club, watched with great interest the older woman in front of him, accompanied by his subordinates.

"Snort."

Charlotte Linlin snorted coldly.

Although she walked at the very front of the line, Katakuri followed behind her.

However, all the other Charlotte Family executives followed Katakuri closely, all of them showing a complete subservience to Katakuri.

Meanwhile, changes also occurred on the two islands floating in the sky.

A large ship drifted down from the island made of rocks and mud.

On the giant island shrouded in white clouds, the clouds began to change shape, transforming into a downward-sloping passage, from which someone descended.

"Calamity Roa, the calamity that Kaido has always talked about, finally about to make his appearance?"

The speaker was a woman who was even taller than Kaido.

She wore an elaborate kimono, revealing her fair shoulders. She had a pair of red horns on her forehead, and her golden hair was tied up with several blades used as hairpins.

Absolutely beautiful.

"Looks like everyone's in sync! They all arrived at roughly the same time!"

On the cloud-formed staircase, Roa slowly descended, his hearty laughter already echoing along the shore.

"I arrived well in advance!"

On the large ship that floated down from the sky, the Golden Lion stood at the bow with his arms crossed, a smile on his face. "But Roa, what's the deal with this island?"

"Well, it's the culmination of twenty-five years of experience."

Roa responded with a smile.

Although the Golden Lion was also smiling, his eyes involuntarily turned serious as he saw the figures following behind Roa.

Beside the Golden Lion, Red exclaimed with a smile, "It seems that what has been deposited is not just this island! Honestly, each of them exudes an aura as powerful as a monster."

On the coast below,

Charlotte Linlin and Kaido both showed slight changes in expression.

"Oh, is that Calamity Roa? What a handsome young man."

"Big Beauty, "Black Maria said with a smile.

"Mmm!"

Ulti nodded repeatedly, "His real age seems to be around the same as Xiao Pei's! That's amazing!"

Soon, everyone gathered on this shore.

The Flying Pirates, the Beasts Pirates, the Charlotte Family, and the Calamity Company each occupy a position.

Every faction deployed its elite forces, and all its cadres gathered here.

However, among these four forces, there is indeed one that stands out as the most powerful.

"Hey, even though I already knew, I still couldn't help but be amazed when I actually saw it with my own eyes!"

The man wearing a red mask, Who's-Who, a high-ranking officer of the Beasts Pirates, sized up the people behind Roa and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"The world-renowned pirates Teach and Loki are now obediently following behind that man, and even the Shichibukai Moria has become completely insignificant!"

"But,"

The green-haired Fish-Man, a high-ranking officer of the Beasts Pirates, Sasaki looked at the three people standing closest to Roa with surprise. "Who are those three guys? Teach and Loki are even closer to Lord Roa!"

He gave Abel a serious look. "That guy's from the Lunarian, isn't he? There are actually descendants of the Lunarians in this world!"

"It's normal that you don't know; they've been gone for twenty years!"

Hanafusa, a veteran of the Beasts Pirates who had dealt with Calamity Company long ago, chuckled and said, "Although Teach and Loki's names are now known throughout the world!"

"But twenty-five years ago, when Lord Roa roamed the seas, his most powerful subordinates were Mercury Barrett and Abel, the descendant of the demon!"

"While they may not be as Lord Roa, those two are certainly extraordinary super monsters!"

"Although Dylan is much weaker than them, he is Lord Roa's right-hand man and the de facto manager of the Calamity Company."

"I've never heard of any of these things before!"

Jack couldn't help but look amazed.

"Those two people have ridiculously strong auras!"

At this moment, Yamato suddenly interjected, "Hmm, to my impression, she seems to be no less than Dad."

"Eh!!"

As Runti carefully examined the pretty young girl, Roa Ulti, she exclaimed in disbelief, "No way? How could such a thing happen!"

"Snort!"

Seemingly having overheard their discussion, Kaido out a cold snort.

But...

His gaze was also unconsciously drawn to Bullet and Abel behind Roa.

Those two brats' auras are ridiculously strong!

Especially Bullet!

It should be said that almost all the monsters gathered here— Golden Lion, Red, Charlotte Linlin, and Katakuri —had their eyes turned towards the two of them.

The more powerful people are, the more they can perceive the terrifying power contained within those two individuals!

"This is really frustrating."

Katakuri couldn't help but shake his head.

They couldn't catch up with Bullet and his teammates back then, but is there still a gap between them now?

"Hahaha! These kids these days are really something!"

The Golden Lion's smile also appeared slightly stiff.

"It's not just the two of them,"

Red chuckled, "Doflamingo and Enel's auras are also very strong, not much weaker than Yamato and Bonney, especially Enel."

"And--"

His gaze settled on the five very conspicuous quintuplets.

These five guys are just as formidable as the top officers of the Flying Pirates!

"Etc!"

The Beasts Pirates also noticed the quintuplets.

Sain stared wide-eyed in astonishment. "What are those five guys? They look just like Judge when he was young!"

"Could it be that Judge, that bastard, has just created a new android?!"

Hearing him say that, Kaido snorted again, clearly annoyed.

They're both scientists, so why is there such a big difference?

"Alright, let's stop with these inexplicable sighs."

Roa raised his voice, "Now, shouldn't we get down to business?"

He paused for a moment, then instantly spotted Who's Who standing behind Kaido.

The fact that this guy is here only proves one thing!

Since fate has led this guy to join the Beasts Pirates, then...

"Who's Who, right? Tell me, you were forced to leave the World Government and join Big Brother Kaido's crew because your Rubber Fruit was stolen?"

"Huh? The Rubber Fruit?"

The Golden Lion frowned instantly. "What are you talking about, kid? Weren't we supposed to be discussing serious matters?"

Why are we suddenly talking about a random Devil Fruit?

The Rubber Fruit —doesn't that sound like the worst of the worst?

"This is a very important matter."

Roa chuckled softly.

The eyes of the people behind him lit up instantly.

Knowing the truth about the world, they certainly knew what the real name of the Rubber Fruit was.

Loki, eager to see the bewildered Who's-Who, asked excitedly, "The Rubber Fruit actually ended up in your hands, kid?"

Nika, the Sun God —that was the power he had always dreamed of!

Especially after the World Government took away the fruit that had been passed down through generations in Elbaf.

"Wait! Roa!"

Kaido frowned. "How did you know that Who's-Who used to work for the government?"

"Well, I'm always pretty well-informed."

Roa gave a casual, dismissive answer, then looked at Foz F., "Answer me."

"Ah?"

Who's-Who looked completely bewildered. "The Rubber Fruit?"

He glanced at Kaido, and seeing that his boss didn't object, he cautiously replied, "Just as you said, Lord Roa, I was indeed imprisoned eight years ago because the Rubber Fruit. I only joined the Beasts Pirates after escaping."

Who took it away?

Roa pressed for an answer.

"Yes, Straw Hat Shanks!"

When the name was mentioned, Foz even gritted his teeth.

That man ruined his career; he, who had a bright future within the CP system, was forced to become a pirate!

"Boss!"

Loki shouted excitedly, "That Devil Fruit was stolen by that bastard Straw Hat eight years ago! But he's still not a Devil Fruit user! The Rubber Fruit probably hasn't even been eaten by anyone yet!"

Roa raised an eyebrow.

Shanks' nickname is Straw Hat, and he still wears that straw Straw Hat on his head.

Since he didn't give the Straw Hat to Luffy, then Roger's will probably not have been entrusted to him either.

The chances of Luffy eating the Rubber Fruit are very low, if Luffy even exists in this world.

Shanks himself did not eat the fruit.

Did he give it to someone else? Or did he keep it but not eat it for some reason?

If it were to be given to someone else, Robin would be the most likely recipient.

However, she is not a superhuman; she fights purely using physical skills, as mentioned in the newspapers.

From this perspective, the probability that the Rubber Fruit has not yet been eaten by anyone is quite high.

"Then let's search! Find the whereabouts of Shanks, oh no, the Straw Hat Pirates!"

"Roa said."

It seems like Loki would be a good fit to eat the Rubber Fruit.

Even without Awakening Nika, Gear Fourth is already comparable in strength to many Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit.

"Wait! Roa!"

Even his good friend Katakuri couldn't help but frown. "What's so special about this fruit? What are you doing?"

"Hmph, I see you all don't understand at all,"

Roa scoffed, "The captain once said he was searching for two Devil Fruits."

"What?"

Golden Lion, Kaido, and Charlotte Linlin were all taken aback.

Why are you suddenly bringing this up?

"Roa! You don't mean to say that the Rubber Fruit is one of the two Devil Fruit Rocks wanted back then, do you?"

Charlotte Linlin exclaimed.

"Because over a long period of time, the World Government erased the true name of the Rubber Fruit!"

Roa said, "Actually, the Rubber Fruit has another name: Zoan - Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Sun God Nika Mode!"

"The Sun God... Nika?"

Katakuri's eyes widened instantly, and he instinctively turned to look at the bear that had followed him.

The bear was completely stunned.

Is the legend passed down through generations of the Bakaria Tribe actually true?

Not only him, but his daughter Bonney jumped up in disbelief, "Dad! The legend of Nika is actually true! The true form of the Sun God is actually a Devil Fruit?"

"The Sun God-- "

The Golden Lion raised the corners of his mouth. "Interesting! So that's how it is?"

"None of you are allowed to take it from me!"

Roa chuckled, and although he said it with a smile, it conveyed an undeniable air of authority.

Katakuri couldn't help but laugh and said, "Who could possibly take it from you?"

That bastard's strength is way too much.

Even disregarding himself, the guys behind him alone could rival all three of them, right?

"The Sun God? Hmph!"

Kaido scoffed, "In the end, it's just a Devil Fruit. I don't care."

After all, he couldn't eat a second Devil Fruit.

"That's great!"

Roa clapped his hands happily, "I was worried that something might have happened between us!"

The Golden Lion sneered.

He had no doubt that if anyone truly wanted to compete with Roa, this brat would show no mercy; a beating would be the least of his worries.

"Alright, let's officially begin the operation!"

Roa said, "Let's clean up the New World first. The navy, the Affiliated Nation, anything related to the World Government —destroy them all. Hmm, no, the population is the most valuable resource in this world. Don't rush to eliminate the Affiliated Nation; just eliminate their royal families."

"Everything will be the same as before: first, wreak havoc to the fullest extent; the conquest and governance can wait until later."

"In the end, it's just territory that originally belonged to you, Ochoku, the Yin family, and John."

Golden Lion said, "Besides, the navy is already withdrawing, and there are hardly any Affiliated Nation left in the entire New World. It's just too boring."

"If you're bored,"

Roa chuckled, "Then let's expand towards the West Blue and the North Blue as we agreed before."

"Um?"

Charlotte Linlin paused for a moment, then asked with some suspicion, "Didn't you say before that you wanted to see how the World Government would react before expanding into those two sea areas?"

"Of course it's because,"

Roa laughed and said, "Now I have the power to stop having to be subservient to the government."

Charlotte Linlin's pupils contracted.

"Well, how about we take a tour of my Calamity City, everyone?"

So, a little later...

"What is this?!"

Katakuri stared in disbelief at the enormous spaceships before him.

"What is this?"

Kaido he looked at the dense array of tanks, armored vehicles, and heavy artillery in front of him.

What exactly is going on?

Charlotte Linlin was now almost delirious, pointing at the massive, dark mass ahead, "Roa! Why are there so many Demon Giant here?!"

However, the most shocking thing was...

"This--"

The cigar in the Golden Lion's mouth fell out, and his mouth was unable to close at that moment.

Not only him, but everyone else was completely frozen in place.

"How could this be? How could such a thing happen?"

Katakuri almost groaned.

The Calamity Knights lined up before them.

Golden Lion, Red, Charlotte Linlin, Katakuri —these people, who had always been labeled as monsters, now felt their worldviews had been completely shattered.

The aura of each of these guys is no less powerful than that of their core officers!

How could it be so exaggerated?

Just how powerful has the Calamity Company become in the past twenty-five years?

The Golden Lion suddenly looked at Roa.

Has the current Calamity Company completely surpassed the Rocks Pirates' power from back then?

Even excluding Roa, his subordinates alone were no match for the Rocks Pirates back then.

In that case, the alliance can no longer be as equal as it was back then.

But why am I so excited?

Is it because Roa is certain he can do what even Rocks couldn't, turning the world upside down?

"Hehehe!"

Kaido burst into laughter, "Roa! You little brat, you really know how to surprise me!"

Katakuri smiled just as brightly, "In that case, what's there to be afraid of!"

Anyway, let's take a picture together!

Roa chuckled, "We should let people know first, that we're about to start our operation!"

"Then, let the world fear because of us!"

"Then what are we waiting for! Hehehehe!"

"Mother, Mother!"

"Hehehe!"

This is truly something I haven't seen in a long time.

Hehehehehe!
