Calamity of the Deep Sea! Assault on Enies Lobby!

In one corner of North Blue, the sky looked like a pencil drawing on paper, a gloomy, gray expanse.

Snowflakes fell gently from the sky.

A pirate ship drifted slowly on the sea.

The ship's captain, "Boxer" Boxer, with a bounty of 24 million Beli, kicked a pirate in the rear, yelling, "What are you daydreaming about! If you delay my serious business of joining the Calamity Company, I'll crush your head!"

"Yes, Captain!"

The young pirate instantly stood at attention and quickly pulled on the ropes to adjust the sails.

"Damn it, now the whole world is talking about Roa's name! It's making me lose face!"

Boxer slammed his foot heavily on the ship, his tone laced with rage, "But that guy's got some skills; he's even giving the World Government a run for its money! So, I guess I'll reluctantly join his ranks as a high-ranking officer!"

He turned to his subordinates, "My little lads, when I become a high-ranking official, I'll make you all little officers for fun!"

Long live the captain!

"Hahaha, Roa has conquered countless countries, Captain, you might just become a king!"

"If the captain is the king, then we're obviously ministers, right?" Xi asked.

The whole ship was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Everyone firmly believed that they would surely gain the attention of the Calamity Company and were destined to do great things under Roa captain's command.

Just kidding, the captain is a notorious pirate with a bounty of over twenty million! He's a big shot in the North Blue!

"Let's leave the king aside for now, let's wait until I become an official,"

Boxer got more and more excited as he talked, "The first thing to do is change the ship! I've had enough of this crappy ship! The Calamity Company's airships are much better!!"

The notorious pirate with a bounty of over twenty million was lost in his wonderful dream, even starting to plan where to erect his statue on that future giant ship.

Just then, the ship rocked slightly.

"Damn it, who's at the helm?"

Suddenly brought back to reality, Boxer turned around, cursing.

The cockpit crew member poked his head out, looking aggrieved. "No, we didn't move the rudder."

The ship began to list inexplicably, and suddenly, cups and saucers shattered all over the dining room.

"What the hell!"

Boxer gripped the cable angrily. "The current?"

He peered out of the ship's side and saw that the seawater had suddenly turned black, like spilled ink.

Um?

Wrong!

The only response he received was the sound of a huge wave.

A mountain-like black shadow emerged from the water, its bluish-black scales gleaming wetly in the dim light of the sky, and the shadows cast alone covered the entire ship.

The deck fell silent instantly.

Everyone stared, mouths agape, at the head larger than a ship and those indifferent yellow eyes.

The next moment.

"Sea Beast!!"

Screams instantly filled the entire deck.

Boxer's mind went blank.

The most terrifying thing he had ever seen in his life was a naval warship.

This thing in front of him was completely beyond his comprehension!

Is this really the kind of thing controlled by the Sea Beast Calamity Company?

Is Roa, the King of Calamity, even more terrifying than I imagined?

The Sea Beast slowly turned its gaze, its indifferent eyes quietly observing the pirates.

Run!

Someone shouted, and the pirates instinctively tried to run away.

But where to run?

This is the ocean, the domain of the Sea Beast!

The giant beast opened its mouth.

That's not a mouth, it's an abyss.

Now, the abyss is closing in on the ship.

"Etc."

Boxer's legs were twitching. He waved his hands in vain and screamed at the top of his lungs, "Are you Sea Beast controlled by Roa? We're in cahoots! We're here to join—"

His last words were swallowed by the abyss.

Before being completely swallowed by darkness, he felt a strange sense of relief.

Was this Sea Beast sent by Roa to kill him?

He thought vaguely.

That guy, Roa, is really giving me face.

No one cared, and the Boxer Pirates vanished without a trace.

Roa was unaware that, because of one of his orders, he had lost a valuable senior cadre.

However, this pirate crew's experience was not an isolated case. In large areas of the West Blue and North Blue, the Sea Beast began to stir.

These deep-sea behemoths were frantically attacking every ship in sight.

Whether it's pirate ships, merchant ships, cruise ships, or naval warships, all ships sailing on the sea will be attacked by the Sea Beast.

An unprecedented disaster suddenly struck these two sea areas, and unspeakable fear spread further.

The West Blue, the Kingdom of Ilusia.

On the coast, the prime minister, who was temporarily assuming power because the royal family had been wiped out, trembled as he looked at the scene on the distant sea.

The wreckage of the ships still floats on the sea; they were naval fleets that had come to this country for resupply.

Just now, right before his eyes, it was reduced to dust.

The colossal beast, having destroyed everything, slowly returned to the surface of the sea.

"It's over."

The high-ranking official, whose beard was already completely white, felt his body go weak and almost collapsed to the ground. "Now nobody can escape!"

"Roa, does that monster want to turn the entire West Blue into a hellhole?!"

North Blue, the Kingdom of Brandy.

Boom!!

The entire island where this country is located is trembling.

Because in the country's coastal waters, beneath the surface, a colossal creature over a kilometer long is crashing headfirst into the island's base.

Its terrifying size, coupled with its unparalleled strength, instantly shattered the island's structure and caused a powerful earthquake throughout the entire island.

"Help! They... they want to destroy this island!!"

"The end of the world is coming! This island is going to sink!"

"Surrender! How could you possibly stand up to that monster, Roa!"

As News Coo flew about, feelings of fear and despair quickly spread throughout the West Blue and the North Blue.

In this situation, the news published by the World Government in the newspapers about defeating one of Roa's fleets instantly became a roadside news item, completely ignored by everyone.

The entire world fears only one thing: Is Roa only capable of controlling the Sea Beast of the West Blue and North Blue?

If not, then it's in a certain sea area of Paradise, in the first half of the Grand Line.

Whitebeard sighed as he looked at the newspaper.

Thankfully, they left in time; otherwise, they would be in big trouble now.

Still in North Blue.

This is a hidden island that is not recorded on any nautical chart.

This is the Revolutionary Army's base.

On the island's coast, a high-ranking member of the Revolutionary Army gathered.

Everyone stared solemnly at the calm sea ahead.

Although the eyes cannot see, the senses perceived by Observation Haki are extremely clear.

Beneath the calm surface of the sea, enormous creatures are slowly swimming, as if surveying this area.

"This is bad! This is bad! This is bad!!"

"The man with the large face," Ivankov exclaimed, "Even we're trapped on this island!"

"What exactly is going on?"

The blond-haired young man, a Revolutionary Army cadre named Sabo, looked anxious. "How did Roa manage that? Not just one or two, not just dozens, not even hundreds—how did he control so many Sea Beasts?!"

This deep-sea disaster has affected far more than just a few countries!

Rather, it refers to the two vast sea areas of the West Blue and the North Blue, which encompass Hundred Plans countries, including both Affiliated Nation and non- Affiliated Nation.

The number of Sea Beast deployed is impossible to quantify; a rough estimate puts it at several thousand!

This only accounts for the Sea Beast surrounding individual countries! There are undoubtedly many more Sea Beast patrolling the outer reaches of the ocean!

What does that even mean?!

This means that if Roa gives the order, countless countries in these two sea areas will instantly suffer devastating blows.

Who knows!

The speaker was another young cadre, wearing a fluffy, spotted hat and sporting a small mustache; his expression was equally solemn.

"Even if Fish-Man can communicate with sea creatures, Sea Beast shouldn't be included here!"

"It's because of Ancient Weapon!"

A gust of wind descended from the sky, coalescing around the group to form the shape of Dragon.

As his dark green cloak billowed, the man commanding the Revolutionary Army spoke in a deeply solemn voice, "It's because Roa obtained an Ancient Weapon!!"

He learned this news from Zephyr.

After the Sea Beast began their massive mobilization, the Navy was stunned. Even for that enormous organization with an 800-year history, this was a terrifying situation they had never encountered before.

Therefore, the Navy's high command immediately contacted the Five Elders to find out what was going on.

Thus, they learned that Roa had already seized the Ancient Weapon Poseidon.

"Ancient Weapon!!"

"The man with the enormous head," Ivankov screamed, "A legendary Ancient Weapon capable of destroying the world?"

Dragon didn't speak, he just gritted his teeth.

Calm!

The situation is already extremely bad, but we should remain calm even more.

All the countries in the West Blue and North Blue have fallen silent; no country dares to openly resist the pirate alliance anymore.

After all, Sea Beast really do eat people.

What should I do?

How can this crisis be resolved?

The most direct and thorough way is, of course, to take Aquaman away from Roa.

But how can you talk about taking it away when you don't even know what Aquaman's true form looks like?

Not to mention, Vice Admiral it away from Roa would be an incredibly difficult task.

Dragon felt that the situation could no longer be allowed to deteriorate like this.

Something has to be done.

But what should we do?

Dragon was at a loss.

The only news is that Roa has started investigating something in the North Blue. Could this be a breakthrough?

At the summit of the Red Line, beneath the Eve Tree, inside that enormous ship.

"The situation has actually become more difficult."

The Four Elders are having another meeting. Wild Boar Warcury, expressionless, says, "The pirates' expansion has indeed stopped, but the Sea Beast's actions have rendered all our efforts futile!"

"The entire West Blue and North Blue, and indeed the whole world, are shrouded in shadow. Other Affiliated Nation in the region are constantly contacting us, asking when we will be able to quell this disaster. They are terrified!"

"As for the West Blue and the North Blue, many Affiliated Nation even have a strong tendency to surrender to Roa!"

"That's simple."

Sandworm Ju Peter spoke up, "Send the Divine Knight to these countries and tell them that the World Government's methods towards traitors are no less lenient than Roa's."

"But that's not enough. Simply stabilizing the situation isn't enough; we need a decisive battle!"

Nusjuro, holding a knife, said in a deep voice, "A decisive battle that will allow the government to demonstrate its authority!"

"But that guy Roa probably won't give us that chance!"

"They've been avoiding war," said Moonhead Gehring.

"Although Roa is mad, he is not impulsive. After realizing that the fleet alone could not deal with the Divine Knight, he immediately chose to retreat and let the Sea Beast take over!"

Yes, where should we look for an opportunity?

The Divine Knight's teleportation is indeed underhanded, but the pirates also appear and disappear without a trace. Especially now, with the Sea Beast blocking the West Blue and North Blue, it's impossible to investigate them.

Damn it!

Why couldn't that guy Roa just come to us willingly?

Enies Lobby.

Along with the Marine Headquarters Impel Down, it is one of the three major organizations under the World Government.

Of course, that's a statement from decades ago.

More than 20 years ago, the original Marine Headquarters was destroyed, and Impel Down was completely wiped out.

Young people on the high seas these days have never even heard of these three major organizations.

In fact, with the disappearance of Impel Down, the Enies Lobby, which was already merely a formality, has essentially become defunct.

The island now exists for only one purpose: to serve as the base of CP9, the intelligence agency under the World Government.

Inside the center of this island, there floats in a bizarre manner above a colossal, empty void— the Tower of Law.

"That's great! I really envy Lucci and the others."

A chubby, somewhat cute-looking man lazily sprawled on the sofa. "CPO, an agent directly under the Celestial Dragons. I really want to be transferred there too!"

"With your measly seven hundred Doriki Value?"

A man with wild pink hair, dressed like a Noh actor, huddled in the corner and lazily said, "Lucci, Kaku, and Jabura are different from us."

"It's truly unimaginable,"

The speaker was a blonde woman dressed in a black, tight-fitting suit, exuding a fiery yet somewhat ascetic aura, especially the gold-rimmed glasses perched on her nose, which were the perfect finishing touch.

"The government was actually forced into this situation by a group of pirates, even CP0 suffered serious losses, and had to promote Lucci and his crew to replenish their strength. Calamity Roa, what a terrifying guy he is."

"So, why wasn't I promoted?!"

The loud complainer was a purple-haired man sitting in front of the office's floor-to-ceiling window, shouting angrily, "I'm the commander of CP9! That Lucci, he didn't even put in a good word for me up there!"

"Probably because,"

The man with hair resembling a pair of bull horns slowly spoke, "What the higher-ups need is real combat power, not a commander."

"Hey! Bruno! What did you say, you bastard?!"

The purple-haired man, Spandam, the highest-ranking officer of CP9, roared furiously, "He really doesn't respect me! Kalifa! Take him down!"

"I'm sorry, sir,"

The woman adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses. "This is sexual harassment."

"Ha?"

Spandam was getting frantic.

Damn it, that Lucci is gone, and these bastards are even harder to manage now!

Fortunately, at that moment, someone suddenly appeared and broke his awkward silence.

The floor-to-ceiling window behind Spandam was suddenly smashed open.

A figure flew in amidst the shattering glass.

Then, unfortunately, Spandam was sent flying like a speed bump, and while he was still in mid-air, a sickeningly loud cracking sound of bones breaking rang out.

"The boss asked me to find someone named Bruno. Which one is it?"

The black wings behind the newcomer retracted, and flames roared behind his head. "Now, step forward."
