The North Sea! With the Angry Boy

"Honestly, Lord Roa,"

Stussy said with a deeply resentful look on the shore of the island, "you're going to leave after messing everything up here?"

Roa turned back, looking at the woman with a wronged expression, and said sternly, "Why are you getting so worked up with a child like me? I'm so young, I don't know any better and was just playing around."

The illegally mature Stussy's expression didn't change. "Brother Roa, I'm even younger than you."

"You're different."

Roa reached out and caressed her stunning, truly magnificent face. He had to admit, Uncle Whitebeard's ability to keep his youth was quite something.

"Just looking at this face, little sister Stussy, you could be my mother!"

It wasn't just her stunning looks; in front of Roa, the gentleness and understanding Stussy displayed were filled with maternal warmth.

The juniors from Wano will be fortunate.

"It's not impossible, you know."

Stussy said with a smile, "Lord Roa is an orphan, isn't he? Do you need the warm embrace of a mother?"

"You want me to stop being invincible? You, Stussy!"

Roa looked smug, as if he saw through everything. "Absolutely not! Since the day I was born into this world, I, Roa, have been invincible!"

Invincible?

Stussy couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"Truly terrifying, Brother Roa."

"In any case, if I don't contact you, just pretend this never happened."

Roa patted Stussy's shoulder. "Take good care of yourself, little sister Stussy. It would be such a shame if such a magnificent face were to get a blemish."

"I will protect this face for you, Brother Roa."

Stussy replied obediently.

"So well-behaved."

Finally, after ruffling Stussy's hair, Roa boarded his ship and left.

The next destination was the North Blue.

Stussy stood on the shore, gazing at the ship as it sailed away.

The woman of unparalleled beauty maintained a smile the entire time, occasionally waving goodbye.

Only after the ship had completely disappeared over the horizon did the woman finally let out a sigh of relief, staggering as if she might fall.

Her fair, smooth face, utterly flawless, was now covered in cold sweat. Her back was completely soaked.

Dealing with such a monster, she had repeatedly thought he was going to crush her head!

"Doctor, what, what should I do..."

On the departing ship.

Roa had learned his lesson this time, capturing some heinous pirates from Stussy's island, thus contributing to world peace once again.

Of course, he could also use them as an extra meal.

"Lord Roa, is that woman enough on her own?"

Dylan asked calmly.

Roa knew he was referring to the intelligence system.

Since he had decided to establish a war company, an intelligence system was naturally indispensable. Otherwise, how could they accurately grasp the global war dynamics?

"It'll have to do for now."

Roa said casually. "We're short on personnel, after all."

While their combat power was more than sufficient, they couldn't expect the mindless Ghouls to handle intelligence, could they?

"I'm sorry, Lord Roa,"

Dylan said self-reproachfully, "I was too negligent for the past six years, never considering this aspect."

Recalling it now, he had done almost nothing during his six years in the Land of Endless War.

Most of his time was spent handling trivial matters for Lord Roa, or else practicing advanced Haki cultivation as Lord Roa had instructed.

"No need to rush."

Roa yawned lazily. "Isn't it just the beginning now?"

As long as they found Judge, everything would be alright.

The North Blue bordered the New World, separated only by the narrow Calm Belt. Therefore, they only needed to head north to reach the North Blue smoothly.

After six years, Roa was crossing the Calm Belt once more.

Six years ago, when returning to the New World from the West Blue via the Calm Belt, it had been quite troublesome. The Sea Kings had attacked incessantly like they were possessed, giving Tiger Soul a good feast.

This time, however, it was much easier.

Roa released his Observation Haki, sensing the Sea Kings' approach, and then unleashed his Conqueror's Haki, scaring away all the giant beasts possessing human intelligence from afar.

They arrived in the North Blue smoothly.

However, what Roa hadn't anticipated at all was that the New World and the Calm Belt hadn't caused him much trouble; instead, the much calmer North Blue had given him a harsh welcome.

"So,"

Roa stood by the ship's railing, gazing out at the calm sea. Unlike the New World, where storms could brew at any moment, the weather in the North Blue was excessively predictable.

Young Roa turned his head, looking somewhat bewildered. "Are we lost?"

They had been sailing in the North Blue for several days and should have reached an island long ago, but all that lay ahead was the boundless sea.

Dylan's usually expressionless face was flushed at the moment. "I apologize, Lord Roa. I forgot I've never been to the Four Seas before and am not very skilled at navigating with a compass and sea chart."

He was a navigator who had only learned the trade halfway, and he was born in the Grand Line. The Four Seas were too unfamiliar to him.

"Don't let it happen again, Dylan."

Roa said.

"Yes! Lord Roa! It will never happen again!"

Dylan felt an unparalleled sense of shame.

The only reason he could follow Lord Roa was that he could handle various matters for him.

This blunder caused him great pain.

"Alright, let me take a look."

Roa transformed into a fierce tiger and soared into the sky, looking down from a great height. He finally spotted an island nearby.

Not long after, the ship docked on the coast of that island.

Dylan hurriedly took people to find a navigator and replenish supplies.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Roa also landed on the island with Bullet.

Since they were here, it wouldn't hurt to explore.

Walking on the relatively clean streets of the city, Roa took a deep breath. "It's still better outside the affiliated nations."

Even in this seemingly well-developed non-franchise nation, there was still a lot of black energy permeating the air.

Bullet quietly followed behind Roa, his sharp eyes scanning anyone who approached him.

Suddenly, at a crossroads, Roa stopped.

He turned his head in surprise, looking towards the end of one of the roads.

"Lord Roa?"

Bullet asked, surprised. "Is there something over there?"

"I see it! Anger like a volcano! Resentment like a tsunami!"

Roa curled his lips. This seemed like it would be interesting.

At the end of the street was a garbage heap.

Two small figures, completely wrapped in tattered cloaks, were bowing their heads and rummaging through the garbage.

"Brother, is it, is it really okay? What if we're discovered..."

The voice of the smaller figure was filled with fear.

"Rosinante! Do you want to starve to death?"

The slightly older figure turned around. Revealed from under the cloak was a bruised and swollen face, wearing a small pair of glasses on his nose. His small face was contorted with a ferocious and violent expression, like that of a demon. "Mother is already dead, do you want to die too?"

"...Brother!"

The younger brother was startled by his brother's appearance and fell back into the garbage heap.

However, the older brother paid no attention to his brother's reaction. He simply clenched his fists. "I want to live! I must live! Sooner or later, I will destroy everything!"

"A very good dream. I heard it clearly."

A voice filled with interest came from the side.

The two brothers instinctively turned their heads. Upon seeing the gorgeously dressed young man in front of them, looks of panic simultaneously appeared on their faces, even the one who had just been making grand pronouncements.

Roa looked at the two brothers, who were a sorry sight, mainly focusing on the kid with the sunglasses. "First meeting, Anger Boy. Perhaps fate has guided me to you."

"Are you ready to face your destiny?"
