Fruit Ownership! Imu's Fury! The Anxious People

When Roa leisurely flew back to the top deck of the Calamity City, Bullet was engaged in a fierce battle with Kaido.

The two top-tier monsters clashed repeatedly in the sky, their iron rods and fists striking each other relentlessly.

Although they didn't go all out, they were definitely serious. Thick, Haki Inazuma swept across the sky, causing it to tremble continuously.

There was nothing else to do but float in the sky.

Real monsters can't be attacked casually. Not only would it be a waste of their talent, but if that guy Imu really disregards martial ethics and bullies the weak, wouldn't we be completely finished?

Therefore, it's normal for everyone to feel bored as they can only remain still at this point.

"Wow, it's so lively!"

Roa landed lightly beside the group of people watching the commotion on the top deck. "You always have so much energy."

Where have you been again, you little rascal?

Katakuri was watching the fierce battle in the sky with great interest, subconsciously turned around.

"Oh, this?"

Roa waved the documents and the small box containing the fruit in his hand. "I went to get something."

"Um?"

Katakuri instinctively scanned the area with his Observation Haki, then raised an eyebrow, "Devil Fruit?"

"Honestly, Katakuri, don't you know what privacy is?"

Roa said with a complaining look, "This fruit is a top secret."

"Confidential?"

His good friend's eyes lit up immediately. "Now that you mention it, I'm even more interested. There aren't many Devil Fruits in this world that are worth taking this seriously, are there?"

"Boss!"

Loki, as if struck by a sudden realization, leaned closer excitedly. "Could it be that you've found the Rubber Fruit?"

"No, that's not it."

Roa shook his head. "We haven't even figured out where that Straw Hat guy is, and you're still talking about the Rubber Fruit?"

Red, no, the Straw Hat Pirates have probably gone to hide in the West Blue or the North Blue, but we don't know for sure yet whether it's the West Blue or the North Blue.

With only one ship, it would be far too easy for them to hide their whereabouts in this vast world.

Even with Roa's extensive network of informants in those two sea areas, they couldn't find their whereabouts for the time being.

After all, more resources need to be used in the war against the World Government.

Or how about we go to Amazon Lily later?

There's absolutely no reason why Shanks wouldn't know Robin's true identity.

Using Roger's beloved daughter as leverage, are you afraid Shanks won't give in?

Hmm, good idea.

Unlike Ace, Robin was unknown to the remnants of Roger Pirates.

Besides, Amazon Lily, hehe, who wouldn't love Daughter Country?

They're going to rule half the world, what's wrong with enjoying themselves?

Is that so?

Loki immediately deflated, turning his gaze away without a second thought and looking back at the two people battling in the sky.

"Oh? So you've already decided on the Rubber Fruit?"

"This fruit is quite remarkable," Roa said with great interest.

Not interested!

Loki declared resolutely, "I'm going to be the Sun God! Either the Rubber Fruit, or that legendary Elbaf Fruit that was stolen from me. I have no interest in anything else!"

The fruit that has been passed down through generations in Elbaf is now in Imu's hands. It's unknown whether he gave it to anyone, but it's probably gone forever.

Therefore, the only option left is the Rubber Fruit.

"What if someone eats the Rubber Fruit?"

Roa asked with a smile.

"Then I'll kill that guy and wait for the fruit to regenerate!"

Loki didn't hesitate at all.

"I see."

Roa nodded slowly.

He was actually quite looking forward to it; could Loki really eat the Rubber Fruit?

It's important to know that throughout history, that fruit has escaped from the World Government's grasp several times, almost as if it were destined to happen.

It seems that only those destined to eat it can consume it.

Can Loki replace Luffy, whose very existence is uncertain, as the chosen one?

That's quite interesting.

"So Roa, what exactly is this fruit?"

Katakuri remained curious.

I just can't do anything with you.

Roa opened the box and took the pink Devil Fruit out.

"Um?"

Katakuri frowned. "Devil Fruit I've never seen before?"

"Hahaha! It's not even listed in the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia!"

Teach had also come closer, carefully examining the Devil Fruit. Then he frowned slightly, "But why does it look so familiar? No, something's off about this fruit!"

"Um?"

Charlotte Linlin, who had been watching the match with great interest, heard the discussion and instinctively looked over.

She was completely stunned when she saw it.

Charlotte Linlin blinked subconsciously, wondering if she had seen wrong. She even rubbed her eyes unconsciously.

"Hey, Roa! What's with that Devil Fruit in your hand? I'm not seeing things, am I? Isn't that the Devil Fruit Kaido?"

How could she possibly admit her mistake!

Back in God Valley, she personally seized that fruit and then gave it to Kaido.

"What?"

Everyone was suddenly taken aback.

"Yes!"

Teach, as if waking from a dream, exclaimed, "It's the Azure Dragon Fruit! It's just a different color!"

"Is that so?"

Katakuri's eyes widened. "There's a second Azure Dragon—no, Pink Dragon Fruit in the world?"

"It's a replica, isn't it, Roa?"

Golden Lion also floated over, proving his seasoned skill by immediately making the correct judgment. "If ordinary Zoan and Ancient Zoan can already be copied, why can't Mythical Zoan be copied?"

"Yes, it still has to be Uncle Shiki,"

Roa nodded with a smile, "That's exactly right."

"No way?"

Katakuri felt his mouth go dry at this moment. "Roa, your men can even copy Mythical Zoan?"

"Boss, I've never heard of such a thing!"

Teach was equally shocked.

No one understands the power of Mythical Zoan better than he, a user of Mythical Zoan abilities.

This power is on a completely different level from ordinary Zoan, even Ancient Zoan!

Is this kind of capability already capable of being mass-produced?

"A copy of Lao Tzu's abilities?"

In the sky, Kaido, who had been locked in a fierce battle with Bullet, couldn't sit still any longer. He descended from the sky, his face contorted with rage. "Roa, you brat, when did you manage to replicate my power? Was this what Dylan and the others wanted to take my blood for back then?"

The thought that whoever eats this fruit will gain the same abilities as him is disgusting!

"We don't have that technology yet,"

Roa laughed and said, "Big Brother Kaido, have you forgotten? What happened back then when you were captured and taken to the Navy's research institute?"

"Forehead!"

Kaido's expression suddenly stiffened.

How could I possibly forget!

It could even be said that it was a humiliation he would never forget for the rest of his life!

Because the skin was too tough to draw blood from, the scientists at that research institute used a very special method.

"So, this fruit was created by scientists under the World Government? Vegapunk?"

Katakuri asked in surprise, "Then how did you get your hands on it?"

"This can only be attributed to connections."

Roa said calmly.

"So, who should receive this fruit?"

The Golden Lion said with great interest.

If Kaido's daughter hadn't eaten Devil Fruit, then she would certainly be the most suitable candidate.

Unfortunately, she is already an ability user and also Mythical Zoan.

This would be a bit awkward. What would Kaido think if anyone other than Yamato ate this fruit?

"No rush."

Roa casually remarked, "We need to get Judge to confirm if the fruit was truly successful."

To be honest, he was also a little unsure.

Without access to the ancient technological data stored in Ohara, could Vegapunk perfectly replicate the Azure Dragon Fruit as depicted in the original work?

"If it succeeds,"

Roa smiled and looked at someone in the crowd, "Bonney, this fruit is yours."

"Huh? Me?"

Bonney, who was watching the commotion, suddenly froze.

Katakuri's eyes lit up immediately. "Isn't this great?"

I've been struggling to find a suitable Devil Fruit for Bonney!

If this fruit truly replicates Kaido's ability, then it would be perfect for Bonney!

Ultimately, Bonney's fighting style is almost identical to Kaido's.

They all rely on overwhelming physical strength and formidable martial arts skills to fight!

"Mother,"

Katakuri glanced back at his elderly mother, whom he loathed, and said, "You think so too, right?"

Don't ask me!

Aunt Linlin still harbors resentment towards Katakuri.

Hey! What about my opinion?!

Kaido roared in displeasure, "I disagree! This Devil Fruit better be destroyed right now!"

"Don't be so harsh, Big Brother Kaido,"

Roa said with a grin, "And have you forgotten? You still owe Aunt Linlin a favor. She gave you the Azure Dragon Fruit then. Now, by giving Bonney this fruit that was copied from you, isn't that repaying the favor?"

It's mainly because it's very interesting.

This Pink Dragon Fruit is a replica based on Kaido's Lineage Factor.

Please note that it's not just the Azure Dragon Fruit, but Kaido's Lineage Factor!

So strictly speaking, after eating this fruit, Bonney will also have some of Kaido's Lineage Factor in her body.

Hehe, in a way, the CP I shipped back then has come true!

Family members, does anyone understand? Senior Ling and Junior Kai are such a perfect couple!

"Linlin herself said it wasn't enough, and you're here too? How many more favors do I have to repay?!"

Kaido did not understand Roa's good intentions.

Seeing Kaido's furious expression, Roa's smile widened. "Alright, alright, as compensation, Big Brother Kaido, do you want to become stronger?"

"Um?"

Kaido, who was somewhat agitated, suddenly narrowed his eyes. "What do you mean by that, kid?"

At his level, it's extremely difficult to go any further.

His Devil Fruit abilities, physique, Haki, and skills have all been honed to perfection.

That's why he couldn't understand how Roa seemed to have no limits and could keep evolving!

Not only Kaido, but everyone else couldn't help but look at Roa at this moment.

Aren't you curious?

Roa laughed and said, "Although Bullet was also born with a strong physique, he was actually just an enhanced version of an ordinary person. But now, he not only possesses an indestructible body like Big Brother Kaido, but he also has a regenerative ability that far surpasses that of ordinary people!"

"Are you senile? Didn't I already ask you this question?"

Katakuri irritably, "But you bastard, you say this is because of Bullet's more than twenty years of experience!"

"Um?"

Roa frowned immediately. "Is that so? You must be mistaken, Katakuri."

"Stop pretending to be stupid!"

"Alright, since you're not going to keep me in suspense any longer, Roa, tell me, what exactly happened?" Golden Lion couldn't help but look on with anticipation.

If he could go even further!

"Well, what's actually settled isn't Bullet, it's Judge."

Yes, there's plenty of time ahead.

This can help everyone take it a step further.

While the implantation of Lineage Factor may not lead to a qualitative leap for most people, even the slightest improvement is invaluable for top-tier experts.

At the same time.

Inside the large ship beneath the Eve Tree.

The Four Elders knelt respectfully on the ground, their faces all extremely grim.

"Lord Imu! The news is true!"

Warcury's face even showed a hint of fear. "The Sea Beast are indeed fighting alongside the pirates! And their numbers are not small; this cannot be accomplished through normal means! I'm afraid—"

His voice deepened, and the muscles in his face trembled. "It really is Aquaman!"

"..."

High on the throne, Imu's fingers, hidden beneath his black robes, lightly tapped the armrests, but the tapping sounded somewhat hurried, clearly indicating that the King of the World was not at peace.

Since the esteemed elder did not speak, the Five Elders dared not even breathe loudly.

Ancient Weapon!

That guy Roa got Aquaman!

It wasn't just Aquaman; he had already obtained Pluton's blueprints more than twenty years ago! His airship was very likely built based on Pluton's blueprints!

Roa, who was already as strong as a monster, also possessed two Ancient Weapons!

The Five Elders felt a chill run down their spines.

If it weren't for Lord Imu, they probably would have surrendered immediately.

"I urge Vegapunk to see this ship fully revived as soon as possible!"

Imu finally spoke, "Then, Gehring, the search for that boy from the Figarland family can't stop. Im needs to know what Joy Boy left behind on that island."

"Roa, what exactly do you know now?!"

"Yes, Lord Imu!"

The newly appointed God of Scientific Defense, Figarland Gehring, respectfully kowtowed.

"At last,"

Imu continued, "Have the Divine Knight leave teleportation arrays within the territory of each Affiliated Nation in those two seas, and have Shamrock personally lead the attack. If necessary, you can also launch an attack. If Roa wants to fight, then let him fight. Eight hundred years ago, the Sea King was of little use, and it will be the same in this era!"

"Yes!"

They have already taken immediate action.

At this time, the world had once again fallen into violent turmoil.

The World Economic News Paper provided a detailed report on the entire advance of the pirate alliance.

The mere fact that pirates have launched a full-scale attack on the North Blue and West Blue, and that they genuinely intend to seize these two seas, is enough to shock the world.

Their unstoppable momentum was even more astonishing.

In particular, a large number of sea monsters and Sea Beast are helping the pirates!

The world, still unaware of what this event signifies, remains terrified.

In just a few days, double-digit numbers of countries were conquered, including several of the Affiliated Nation.

Any resistance was met with the most severe retaliation, and several countries were reduced to ruins.

In the West Blue and the North Blue, the two battlefronts in both sea areas have been rapidly advancing from the Calm Belt into the deeper parts of the sea.

World Government! World Government, please save us!

The world trembled.

The residents of North Blue and West Blue, in particular, were utterly terrified.

At the same time.

The entrance to the Grand Line, the Twin Capes.

A banquet is being held here.

However, the atmosphere at the banquet was not particularly lively.

"Even you were forced to run back to the first half, Shanks?"

Crocus, the former doctor of the Roger Pirates and the tower guard of Twin Capes, sighed with emotion.

"No way,"

The man wearing a straw Straw Hat, Shanks, hurrying back to the Grand Line from the West Blue via Reverse Mountain, said with a solemn expression, "The power that Roa has gathered is not something we can contend with."

"And now,"

He gritted his teeth slightly, "He's even gained the power of Aquaman!"

"Aquaman... of all times, he appeared in this era!"

Crocus's expression also turned grave. "Something seems to have happened to Gaban."

"I know, Mr. Crocus,"

Shanks nodded slightly. "Next, we'll head to Fish-Man Island immediately to see what's going on."

"And Coron!"

Crocus said in a deep voice, "You know him, right? I was shocked when I heard Gaban had a child. That kid just finished his voyage in the South Blue not long ago, passing through here with his companions!"

Has he already returned to the Grand Line?

Shanks' expression hardened slightly again. "Mr. Crocus, which route is he taking? We must intercept him! If he rashly returns to Fish-Man Island— "

"He took the same route we took back then, from Alabasta via Sky Island. He said he wanted to see the scenery we saw back then."

"Okay! I'll go after him right away, and then contact Mr. Rayleigh. If I can't catch him, we can only hope he can stop the boy in Sabaody Archipelago!"

Shortly thereafter, the Sabaody Archipelago.

Shakky's Rip-off Bar

"Alright, I'll keep an eye on that kid while I wait for you to arrive, Shanks. Don't worry, I won't act rashly. That's all for now."

Pluton Rayleigh, the right-hand man of Pirate King, hung up the phone and fell silent.

Behind the bar, the bar's proprietress, Shakky, gently exhaled a smoke ring. "Perhaps the situation isn't as bad as it seems, Lao Lei."

Rayleigh shook his head, and the legend of the sea sighed slowly, "If Princess Shirahoshi were truly the Sea King, Gaban would never have handed her over to Roa so easily."

The tavern fell silent immediately.

Shakky simply smoked her cigarette quietly.

Amazon Lily.

Inside the royal palace.

Empress Robin clutched a newspaper in her pale hand, gazing at the photos of Sea Beast tumbling on the surface of the ocean. She gritted her teeth slightly.

"Aquaman has fallen into Roa's hands, and so has Pluton!"

"Now, this is really bad!"

The war that nearly destroyed the world eight hundred years ago is about to break out again, and she doesn't even have the power to participate in that war.

So, shall we eat that fruit?

In a certain sea area, in the first half of the Grand Line.

The half- Fish-Man boy's hands trembled as he held the newspaper. "Uncle Jinbe? How did he end up under Roa's command! And what are these Sea Beast— "

"Oh no! Something's happened on Fish-Man Island! How are Mom and Dad?! Damn it! Speed up, I have to get back to Fish-Man Island as quickly as possible!"
