The Movements of the Remnants! Father and Son United!

Sabaody Archipelago's Bar, Shakky Archipelago.

"Card price."

The Den Den Mushi on the bar counter had closed its eyes, lowered its head, and fallen into a peaceful slumber.

The person on the other end of the phone has already hung up.

At the bar, Rayleigh, holding a bottle of liquor, and Shanks, eating a plate of noodles, both fell silent.

Behind the bar, Shakky, the proprietress who was leisurely smoking, also silently stubbed out her cigarette.

Meanwhile, around the round tables outside the bar, the Straw Hat Pirates, the Kuja Pirates, and the members of the Coron Pirates (whose captain was absent) were all gathered, enjoying themselves immensely.

What does "what is called,"

The Red Nose man, Buggy swallowed hard, his voice trembling slightly, "Mr. Gaban has been controlled by Roa?"

With a soft click, Rayleigh placed the bottle on the table, took off his gold-rimmed glasses, and wiped them. "It's no secret anymore, is it? Besides easily triggering natural disasters comparable to natural calamities, Roa also possesses the ability to manipulate others."

"So,"

The world's most beautiful woman, Hancock, the Kuja Pirates, slightly raised an eyebrow, "Is Gaban being controlled by Roa?"

"Unbelievable,"

Shanks swallowed the noodles in his mouth and said with some emotion, "That's Mr. Gaban, after all."

Back in the day, weren't the three members of Roger Pirates —Gold, Silver, and Bronze—all renowned and powerful pirates who commanded fame throughout the world?

And now, that guy Roa is even able to control a powerful man like Mr. Gaban?

"Outside, countless Sea Beast guard the area; inside, Mr. Gaban is in charge,"

Robin bit her thumbnail. Her mother had told her about it many times, but she still unconsciously did it whenever she faced a crucial decision.

"Fish-Man Island has now undoubtedly become a den of dragons and tigers, but the good news is that Coron should be safe for the time being."

If the child were truly in a life-or-death situation, he probably wouldn't have had a chance to contact them.

"Although they should be out of immediate danger, they are probably in dire straits with nowhere to escape."

The Straw Hat Pirates -captain, Ben Beckman, exhaled a smoke ring and said slowly, "But the current situation is that even getting to Fish-Man Island is extremely difficult for us, let alone rescuing him."

"Coron did just say that Roa would be heading to Fish-Man Island soon, right?"

Rayleigh and Robin both fell silent at this point.

Even if they combined their efforts, they wouldn't be able to break through the Sea Beast's defenses and reach Fish-Man Island, not to mention that Roa would soon be heading there as well.

Going there now would be a certain death sentence.

But we can't just give up on Coron like this.

Shanks said earnestly, "He is my friend, and I cannot stand by and watch him fall into danger."

"That's true, but tell me what we should do, Shanks!"

Buggy said irritably.

"In that case-"

A resolute look flashed in Shanks' eyes as he raised his hand to press down on the straw Straw Hat on his head, the shadow cast by the brim covering half of his face.

Then, he sighed dejectedly, "I haven't decided yet."

I'll beat you up!

Buggy, who had been looking forward to some important remarks from him, was so angry that his face turned into a shark's face.

"Beckman, use your brilliant mind to come up with a solution!"

The man looked at his first mate with anticipation.

"If we can't achieve our goals through force, then we'll have to resort to negotiation, right?"

Beckman said that.

"Negotiation?"

Everyone was taken aback.

"But,"

Rayleigh took another sip of his drink. "What bargaining chips do we have to negotiate with Roa?"

Silence fell once again in the tavern.

Yes, even if they wanted to negotiate, what could they possibly offer that guy Roa?

"We can talk about negotiations later. The most important thing right now is to leave Sabaody Archipelago, right?"

Shakky, standing behind the bar, slowly said, "Roa will go to Fish-Man Island. If Coron is also controlled by Roa, our whereabouts will be exposed to Roa."

Everyone's expression instantly darkened.

That's true.

If Roa really comes knocking on our door, that guy probably won't show any mercy.

We can't stay in the Sabaody Archipelago anymore.

Almost simultaneously, Fish-Man Island.

After his brief speech, Gaban returned with his eldest son and Fisher Tiger.

Coron breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Now that I've told everyone about the current situation on Fish-Man Island, hopefully no one will want to come here to adventure anymore, right?

Forget about yourself, whatever you do, don't come.

Fish-Man Island is dangerous enough now, but it will become even more dangerous in the future.

If Roa were to personally descend upon Coron, there's nothing he can imagine what would happen.

Perhaps, I'll end up like that Pops, turned by that guy.

But in any case, this is all I can do.

Brother Shanks, Sister Robin, the rest is up to you!

That's right, Mom--

Just then, Gaban was walking not far ahead of Coron, suddenly spoke up, "By the way, Coron, who were you talking to just now?"

Fisher Tiger's heart sank as he walked alongside Coron.

Coron, preoccupied with his thoughts, froze instantly, then blurted out in a flustered voice, "What, what are you saying, you bastard Pops? When did I talk to anyone?"

"Huh? You little brat, aren't you taking your Pops for granted?"

Gaban turned around with a smirk. "My Observation Haki has been focused on you the whole time."

Oops!

Did that bastard Pops find out after all?

I've never seen you so serious before!

He's surprisingly serious about giving Roa Adam a dog and dealing with his own son!

Coron's heart pounded like a drum.

What to do?

If it were just me dying, then of course it wouldn't matter.

So what if I die? What's there to be afraid of?

Isn't it a good ending for a man to bravely face death?

But what about Mom?

My dad's become like this; what will happen to my mom if I'm not around anymore?

Coron felt completely confused; fear and Zhixin caused his expression to change constantly.

"Tell me, Coron,"

Gaban's smile faded slightly, replaced by a hint of seriousness. "Who did you tell about the situation on this island?"

Did you even hear what you said?

That bastard Pops's Observation Haki is really something else.

But.

"No, nothing like that."

Coron tried to keep his voice calm, "You must have misheard."

"Hey, hey, hey, you stupid son!"

Gaban was furious, his beard bristling and eyes wide with anger. "Didn't I tell you, your old man, that you're really bad at acting?"

!

Fisher Tiger, standing nearby, wholeheartedly agreed.

With Coron's stammering tone, his darting eyes, and his constantly shifting expression, what kind of lie could he possibly be telling?

However, Fisher Tiger didn't find the comical Coron funny at that moment.

His heart was heavy at that moment.

Coron, danger!

Gaban may still look like the same Gaban as before, but that's only an appearance!

Fisher Tiger quickly interjected, "He's probably just letting his companions know he's safe. There's no need to take it too seriously, Mr. Yam."

Hearing Fisher Tiger's words, Coron felt like he'd been granted a pardon, nodding his head like a chicken pecking at rice. "That's right! Just tell your companions not to come and risk it!"

"Oh? Is that so?"

Gaban raised the corners of his mouth, his tone becoming more casual and relaxed.

"Yes, yes, that's exactly right!"

Coron scratched the back of his head, nodding repeatedly with a somewhat awkward expression.

"Haha, you little rascal!"

Gaban laughed heartily.

Then.

The next instant, a dark hand grabbed Coron by the neck and slammed him to the ground.

"Forehead!"

Coron let out a muffled groan, feeling as if his neck was about to be snapped.

"Listen, child,"

Gaban looked down at his eldest son, his tone tinged with pity, "You can deceive me normally, but as a father, if I'm lied to by my son on trivial matters, I'll just laugh it off."

"But Coron, this concerns the island, it concerns the Boss's orders, I won't allow you to lie to me in any way!"

"Now, son, tell me everything that just happened, exactly who you were talking to!"

Coron gritted his teeth.

That damn Pops, he's always incredibly perceptive at times when he shouldn't be.

"Wait, Mr. Yam!"

Fisher Tiger looked anxious and quickly came over to try and comfort him.

But Gaban suddenly turned around at that moment, "And you, Fisher Tiger, you were indeed covering for Coron just now, weren't you!"

Fisher Tiger's body stiffened instantly.

Gaban took a deep breath, turned around and looked down at his eldest son, "Coron, don't make things difficult for your father!"

"I-"

Coron gritted his teeth, "It really is just about contacting our teammates!"

You brat!

Gaban wore a helpless smile, but a dangerous glint flashed in his eyes. "Disobedient brats need a good scolding from their adults!"

A few days later.

Dragon Palace.

Gaban arrived in a hurry with his wife and son.

His wife, Anna, silently wiped away her tears, because Coron, who was being held by Gaban, was wrapped in bandages all over his body and looked bruised and battered.

This half- Fish-Man boy, only his eyes still held a stubbornness.

Before returning to Fish-Man Island this time, he never imagined that one day he would be severely interrogated by his respected Pops.

But the truth is that after that day, his useless, controlled old father, while sighing and looking at him with a disappointed expression, severely tortured him.

Even as his mother cried and pleaded beside him, this bastard Pops paid no heed. He only said he couldn't let Coron go astray, but he showed no mercy in his actions.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, I'm late!"

Gaban greeted the Neptune family, who were standing outside the gates of the Dragon Palace, with an apologetic expression, "The Boss hasn't arrived yet, has he?"

Besides the Neptune, Fisher Tiger, whose face was swollen, also got a good beating.

Neptune glanced at Coron, who was being held by Gaban, with a complicated expression. "Mr. Yam, I've heard about what happened. There's no need to hurt Coron to this extent."

"Sigh, we are all parents. If we weren't forced into this situation, who would willingly hurt their child like this?"

Gaban sighed helplessly, "It's just that Coron is such a troublemaker. We've warned him time and time again, but he still wants to cause trouble."

"If it weren't for the fact that the Boss told me not to make things too difficult for him during our previous call, I definitely wouldn't have let this brat off so easily!"

Neptune's eyes were filled with sorrow.

What has become of Mr. Yam, who used to dote on his children?

Roa!

It's all because of you, you "kacha."

A soft sound suddenly came from the air ahead.

The transparent air was pushed open, creating a huge Air Door tens of meters high. A man with a hairstyle like bull horns walked out, then respectfully stood aside and knelt down.

Then, the man whom Neptune and the others both knew and feared, Roa, slowly walked out of the Air Door.

He wasn't alone; Enel and Bege, whom he had met before, were following behind him.

And, a colossal behemoth that requires one to bend over to squeeze through that enormous Air Door.

The mere sound of his foot hitting the ground produced a dull thud.

An ancient giant with a pair of horns on its head and ferocious eyes looked around in surprise. "Oh, so this is Fish-Man Island? This is the first time I've come here in person!"

Looking at that enormous thing, Neptune's heart sank even further.

Cursed Giant Prince Loki!

Although not as powerful as Abel, the demon descendant who visited this island last time, he is still a high-ranking official under the Demon Lord Roa!

In the years that followed, the legendary pirate "Boss!" had already made his name known throughout the world.

Gaban, carrying his eldest son, went to greet him respectfully, "You've arrived!"

"Lord Roa!"

The Neptune family also quickly greeted Roa.

"Um,"

Roa nodded slightly to the crowd, then looked down with interest at the eldest son being held in Gaban's arms. "Is this your son, Coron?"

"Yes, Boss!"

Gaban quickly placed Coron in front of Roa and made him kneel down, saying, "This is my good-for-nothing son!"

"Please give your order on how to deal with him!"

His wife, Anna, was already in tears behind him. She quickly knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly to Roa, pleading, "Lord Roa! Please, spare this child! I beg you! I beg you!!"

Mom.

Coron was badly injured, and Gaban forced him to kneel, unable to even turn around to look at his weeping mother.

The boy was only suffering internally.

"Look what this bad boy has done to his Mother!"

Roa shook his head with a sigh, "If you're not satisfied with having such loving parents, you'll be punished by heaven."

"Roa!!"

Coron almost gritted his teeth.

Isn't it all your fault, you bastard, that things have turned out this way?!

"I just asked directly,"

Roa said, "Were you talking to the remnants of Roger Pirates earlier?"

I don't understand what you're saying.

Coron is preparing to deny it.

But.

"Oh, with them?"

A smile crept onto Roa's lips. "So, the second question: Is Shanks among the people you spoke to?"

Coron's eyes widened, still not quite understanding what was happening, when he saw Roa nod slightly again, a smile on his face. "Oh, that guy's here too?"

"That's great! So, where are they now? Let me guess, are they in Sabaody Archipelago, where Rayleigh is living in seclusion?"

"What did you do?!"

Coron screamed in near terror.

Does this guy somehow know what he's thinking?

How is that possible?

"As expected of the Boss!"

Gaban looked at him with utmost respect.

Is this an ability similar to Queen Otohime's Observation Haki?

Is it really in the Sabaody Archipelago?

Roa nodded in satisfaction.

"In other words,"

Loki was beaming with excitement, "We'll be able to find that Straw Hat bastard soon, right!"

"More or less,"

Roa nodded casually, then praised, "Well done, Gaban, you saved me a lot of trouble."

"It's what I should do!"

Gaban's smile was incredibly obsequious.

Roa's smile deepened. "As a reward, let your son work with you too."

Upon hearing this, Gaban was overjoyed, his sunglasses almost falling off his nose, and he immediately kowtowed.

"Boss, you're so generous!"

Is it generous?

Roa smiled, looking at the battered and bruised Coron. "Coron, you didn't want to see Gaban kill your mother with his own hands, did you?"

Coron's eyes widened.

This is truly a father-son team going into battle.
