Some island in the New World.

Nestled in the dense forest, a not-too-tall wooden building stands quietly.

Almost no one knows that this is the headquarters of the world-renowned World Economic News.

At that moment, on the top floor of the building, a burst of maniacal laughter pierced through the wooden doors and spread out.

The editors outside the door fell silent, simply staring at the doorway.

Although they couldn't hear what was being said inside, they knew that Big News Morgans was about to break.

Inside the main gate, in the president's office.

Big News Morgans! Morgans' smile grew increasingly grotesque as he held the Den Den Mushi with an excited expression.

"Hahaha! I understand! Boss! As expected of you, you've only just returned and you're already preparing to shock the world again! I'll spread this news all over the world right away!"

"It's time to make this world tremble once again because of natural disasters!!"

"Then it's up to you."

The call ended.

Then, Morgans suddenly took a deep breath, his chest heaving.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

With a maniacal laugh, he kicked open the office door and stormed out.

"Get to work, you little bastards! Hahahaha! It's time to let the world relive the horror of over twenty years ago!!"

"Yes!!"

The numerous editors immediately responded loudly, as if they had been injected with adrenaline.

The editors who were promoted to headquarters by Morgans were undoubtedly ruthless characters like him, willing to do anything for Big News Morgans.

So, a few hours later, News Coo began to fly around the world again.

Newspapers were being scattered like they were free, falling into the ocean.

When people curiously picked up the newspaper, what greeted their eyes was the front-page headline printed with a huge signature.

<Natural disaster is imminent!>

At first glance, it might even seem a little confusing.

They might even mistake it for a weather forecast.

But when people saw the huge photo below the headline, almost everyone was stunned; in that instant, they understood what the headline meant.

Is it such a natural disaster?

It was a group photo.

The handsome young man in the center even gave a peace sign to the camera, his face beaming with a cheerful smile.

This boy's name was only recently brought up again.

At this moment, everyone in the world knows that his name is Roa, the most evil man in history who roamed the world more than twenty years ago!

On either side of him stood two figures whose fame was even greater in this era: Kaido Golden Lion!

Outside the three were two monsters from the Charlotte Family, Charlotte Linlin and Charlotte Katakuri.

At the very edge is Redfield, the second-in-command of the Flying Pirates.

Behind Roa in the back row stood a tall, muscular man and a white-haired man with a pair of black wings on his back, whom no one recognized.

And to the sides of these two strangers are the infamous Cerberus Teach and the equally renowned Shichibukai Moria!!

And at the very back sat a colossal figure, cross-legged on the ground, also sporting a radiant smile—that was Cursed Giant Prince Loki!

The whole world was in an uproar in an instant.

"They've actually joined forces! The Flying Pirates, the Charlotte Family's Beasts Pirates, and that Calamity Company led by Roa! They've formed an alliance!!"

"Are you kidding me?! So many monsters have actually teamed up! Golden Lion, Kaido, Katakuri! Three real Pirate Emperors! Add in Red, Charlotte Linlin, and Roa, who in the world can stop them?!"

"That's not all! Teach and Loki have returned to Calamity Company too? They're both super monsters with the power to challenge for the Emperor's throne!"

"Why is Moria here too?! Isn't he Shichibukai?! Has he betrayed us too?"

A single photograph has already shocked people all over the world.

The text below is even more awe-inspiring.

"The newspapers say they're going to reclaim the New World!"

"They actually said they wanted all forces under the World Government to get out of the New World? Do they really want to declare war on the government?!"

"So what the newspapers said before, that they once seized the entire New World, is true, right?"

"What does the New World mean to these monsters if they unite? The only two remaining Pirate Emperors, Whitebeard and Straw Hat Shanks, are utterly insignificant compared to them!"

"Hey, they also said they're going to advance towards the West Blue and the North Blue next!! What exactly are they trying to do?!"

The whole world was abuzz with excitement.

At the same time, Mary Geoise.

Room of Authority.

"These scumbags have truly united! Reclaiming the New World isn't enough; they even want to march on the West Blue and the North Blue!"

"Damn it, that reckless Moria really betrayed us after all!"

"Teach and Loki have also returned to Calamity Company, Bullet and Abel have also appeared! Their power is probably even more formidable!"

"That bastard Roa has gathered far more power this time than he did more than twenty years ago! What follows is likely to be an incredibly difficult war!"

"But our strength has also grown stronger! As long as Lord Imu is here, we will never lose!"

"Find them! They'll definitely use their mobility to outmaneuver us, just like they did back then. We must find them as quickly as possible! Now it's time to activate the spies we've planted all over the New World!"

Also in Mary Geoise.

"Hahaha! Has it started?"

Crocodile, flipping through the newspaper, grinned broadly. "This lineup is truly outrageous."

"After all these years, does the Calamity Roa still have such influence?"

The room next to his

Hawkeye was also flipping through the newspaper, his sharp, hawk-like eyes fixed on the smiling boy in the photograph.

"Is he really from the previous era? How can he be so young? But--"

His gaze shifted downwards and settled on Roa, on the knife hanging at his waist.

"The Supreme Grade Swords, the Demonic Blade Blood Sea —can this sword actually be forged into Black Blade? I can't wait to find out!"

Neo Marine Headquarters.

"They're finally about to make their move! Aside from the soldiers stationed in the Affiliated Nation, get all the other soldiers who haven't yet evacuated from the New World out of here immediately!"

"All troops assemble, ready to depart at any time!"

The New World, the Sphinx.

Whitebeard closed the newspaper.

Marco, standing before him, looked grim. "No wonder the Straw Hat guy chose to leave; the power that Roa and the others have gathered is simply too overwhelming."

Even the Marine Headquarters is far from being able to contend with them, right?

The World Government would have to mobilize all their forces to fight them!

"Let's go, let's go too."

Whitebeard raised his head and looked towards the coastline.

Huge pirate ships were docked here, and the country's residents were lining up to board them with their families.

It's absolutely impossible for them to defeat Roa.

Given Roa's vengeful nature, he would never abandon this country, even if it meant nothing to him.

Therefore, evacuation is the only option.

Whitebeard summoned all his pirate crews; they would then take away all the Sphinx people who were willing to leave the country with them.

At the same time.

West Blue.

"Luckily we ran fast."

On the Red Voss, Ben Beckman closed his newspaper and laughed, saying, "Otherwise, we'd be crushed in an instant."

"No! The West Blue isn't safe either! They say they're expanding into that area too!"

The Red Nose man quickly said, "Let's go to the Paradise! Let's stay away from those lunatics!"

"If Roa and his men win this battle, they won't be safe no matter where they hide in the ocean."

Straw Hat Shanks was leisurely sitting on the ship's railing drinking, chuckled and said, "If they lose, then there's no need for them to run anymore."

"Let's wait for the wind to come."

On Fish-Man Island.

In the Sabaody Archipelago.

In the Kingdom of Kuja.

People waited quietly.

In North Blue.

A secret base.

Two men, each holding a newspaper, bumped into each other at the door of Dragon's office.

"Luo, you saw the newspaper too?"

"Of course, Sabo, and you too?"

"Yes, we must hurry and tell Mr. Dragon! The North Blue has become a target for those monsters too!"

In the sky somewhere in the New World.

A large steel ship is rapidly cutting through the air.

The large ship was surrounded by clouds, which provided it with basic buoyancy.

Meanwhile, the turbine propulsion unit at the stern spewed out scorching flames, propelling the large ship forward at high speed.

"That guy Judge!!"

Sain looked around the large ship, his face full of envy.

Is it even possible to build a ship like that?

In addition,

He looked up again and saw several old Demon Giant sitting cross-legged and chatting on the deck ahead.

How did they manage to do that? They were even able to directly turn a monster controlled by the government against them?

That wasn't all. On the deck, there was a group of the Mink Tribe were laughing and joking around. Judge provided each of them with a Battle Suit!

In this respect, they're more like the Beasts Pirates!

But the most crucial thing, of course, is still...

Sain turned around and looked at the two figures standing quietly on the deck of the large ship.

Calamity Knights!

A warrior even stronger than Who's Foz and his crew!

It was actually created by that damn Judge!

They're all superhumans!

Damn it, Judge even completed the research on Artificial Devil Fruit!

To this day, Sain will never forget the look in Kaido's eyes when he learned of these two pieces of news.

This makes him seem rather dull, someone who has spent over twenty years researching only a bunch of viruses and weapons!

That wretched Judge!!

Indeed, the most naked hatred often exists between people in the same industry.

"Arrive."

Just then, one of the two Calamity Knights turned around and said calmly, "Begin the operation."

"Yes!"

The Clone soldiers on the deck responded with a roar.

The massive steel ship stopped moving forward and began to slowly descend.

Below, on the sea surface, lies a large Marine Base.

This is Marine Headquarters G-6.

The original G-6 base was completely destroyed many years ago when the pirate alliance conquered the New World.

This Marine Base, located in Silver Axe's territory, was rebuilt over the past twenty years and redesignated as G-6.

Meanwhile, at the port of this base, marines were rapidly boarding warships.

We can no longer stay at this base; otherwise, pirate attacks could strike at any moment.

More than twenty years ago, no one wanted the tragedy that befell those Marine Base in the New World to be repeated.

But, it was at this very moment.

"What is that?!"

On one of the warships, a sailor suddenly screamed, "There's a ship in the sky!!"

Like birds startled by the mere twang of a bow, the marines who were preparing to retreat all raised their heads upon hearing this.

"Damn it, was the evacuation too slow?! It's an enemy attack!!"

The Marine Vice Admiral, who was standing on the shore directing the soldiers' retreat, roared, "Prepare for battle! Prepare for battle!"

The soldiers grabbed their weapons, but then suddenly became bewildered.

How exactly could they attack a massive warship flying thousands of meters in the sky?

Unable to retaliate, they were then attacked from the sky.

In the sky, cracks suddenly appeared at the bottom of the large metal ship, revealing Cannon Bay that were opening.

One after another, huge cannon muzzles were revealed.

Then.

Boom!

The first heavy cannon roared.

A shell, like a meteor, crashed down with a sharp whistling sound.

The shells crashed directly onto the harbor.

Boom!!

The enormous fireball engulfed nearly half of the port in an instant, blooming below like a miniature sun.

"Eh!!"

At the side of the Sky Battleship, Sain, who was looking down, suddenly had his eyes pop out.

Such power?

Boom boom boom boom boom!

Heavy cannons roared, and shells rained down.

Brilliant fireballs erupted from the Marine Base below, and within the time it took for two volleys to engulf the entire base in explosions.

"Eh--"

Sene was sweating.

What exactly is the weaponry he's been researching for over twenty years?

Judge built a total of fifty warships like these, capable of easily suppressing a large Marine Base!

No, where did that bastard get so much money?

"You bastards!! You deserve to die!!"

A figure was ejected into the air from the flames of the explosion.

A furious Marine Vice Admiral, sword in hand, soared upwards, leaping through the air, shouting, "Where will you take justice?!"

One of the two Calamity Knights silently leaped onto the gunwale and then jumped off.

Sain watched helplessly as he collided with the Marine Vice Admiral in the next instant.

"Go to hell! You scum!!"

The Marine Vice Admiral roared, and his Haki black sword slashed fiercely at the neck of the Calamity Knights.

Then.

When.

A crisp sound.

"What?"

The Marine Vice Admiral's expression changed drastically.

The opponent didn't even use Armament Haki; he withstood the sword strike with his bare body, only suffering a slight deformity in his neck!

What exactly is this?

"Wild dogs."

The Calamity Knights grabbed the Marine Vice Admiral by the neck and shoulder, then twisted him forcefully.

Kara.

The navy officer's neck was instantly twisted into a pretzel.

"Hiss!"

Sain gasped again.

That's ridiculously strong!

He figured he could easily handle one or two, but if there were more, he'd be beaten like a dog.

Is this powerful device really considered a mass-produced product?

In the early part of the New World, Dressrosa.

This country, which was abandoned by the World Government more than 20 years ago, has become a member of the World Government Member States again in the past two decades.

After all, King John, who ruled this country, became Shichibukai.

However, at this very moment, while His Majesty the King, who was to protect the country, was summoned to Mary Geoise, the country was attacked.

A large, black ship appeared in the sky above the country and began a barrage of bombardments on the Marine Base on one side of the island!

The entire Marine Base was engulfed in an instant by the explosion, and the whole country was shaken by the result.

Since these Affiliated Nation of the New World returned to the embrace of the World Government, each of them has built a Marine Base.

Besides protection, a bigger factor was to make these countries, which had harbored resentment towards the World Government during times of turmoil, obediently hand over the Heavenly Tribute.

However, that base has now completely vanished.

"What is that?!"

Now just an ordinary gladiator, but a man once known as King Riku stands on the streets of this country, surrounded by panicked people, gazing blankly at the ship in the distant sky.

Did the attack come so quickly?

Fortunately, the target was only the navy and did not affect ordinary civilians.

Not far from this country lies Prodens.

This country is a constituent republic of the government, just like Dressrosa, and is also protected by the Shichibukai John.

At the same time, this country was also attacked, and its Marine Base was instantly destroyed.

"Damn it!!"

In the royal palace, the robust King Elizabello II, who ruled the country, roared angrily, ordering his vizier Daghama, "Send out the royal army and quickly restore order—uh!!"

His anger abruptly ceased.

Suddenly, something sharp pierced his chest, and blood splattered everywhere!

"His Majesty!!"

When the kingdom's prime minister Daghama saw this sudden scene, he immediately screamed.

But his scream only lasted for a moment.

An invisible, sharp blade suddenly slashed across his neck, and blood spurted out.

As he fell to the ground in vain, Daghama saw splattered blood staining the air!

There is something unseen!

He watched helplessly as the blood-stained, invisible object vanished instantly, followed by a series of screams from all around.

Is this Roa's revenge?

My vision was plunged into darkness.

Newspapers around the world have been publishing new issues at a frenzy over the past two days.

Because the pirate alliance, which has regrouped, has begun to operate again.

When those photos and texts were presented to the world, the entire world was in an uproar.

"They destroyed all the Marine Branch in the New World in one fell swoop!"

"Not only the branch, but all Marine Base within the territory of the Affiliated Nation were also blown to smithereens!"

"Even the royal families of all the Affiliated Nation were slaughtered! They really wanted to drive all the World Government's power out of the New World!!"

"Madmen! A bunch of madmen! They're declaring war on the World Government!"

Fear spread.
