Love Game? Feed Yourself to the Demon!

Dragon stared at the boy in front of him, almost lost in thought.

Just when they were almost in despair, the boy—his son whom he hadn't seen for many years—appeared before them!

It wasn't just a simple appearance; more importantly, this child ate a crucial Devil Fruit!

Hope has not been lost!

This is not over yet!

"Um!"

The boy exhaled two puffs of hot air from his nostrils and said resolutely, "Leave that guy to me!"

He clenched his fists. "Then let's hurry back and save Grandpa and the others!"

"Fool!"

Shanks said irritably, "It's not the right time yet! You're still a long way off!"

Perhaps, this really is fate!

Whether it's the Dragon of the End or the Devil Fruit Luffy ate!

Roa received all of Joy Boy's estate, while we received all of Davy Jones's estate!

Although the positions of both sides have shifted, at least the possibility of war has now been realized!

This kid is still too young. Although Roa is only a year older than him, Roa is obviously an exception. He is a super monster that no one can compare to!

"Ugh! When will we have to wait?"

Young Luffy looked anxious.

"At the very least, we'll wait until you can defeat us!"

Shanks said seriously.

Although it may be shameful to say this, they do indeed have a huge advantage.

That monster, Roa, has conquered beyond the world, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will extend what he has done in the other half of the world on the Red Line to the entire world.

In that case, the whole world would become a true hell on earth.

People suffering greatly will yearn more than ever for someone to save them.

Just like the original Sun God Nika and Joy Boy eight hundred years ago, people's prayers will transform into real and true power!

Shanks stared intently at the boy before him.

Luffy, will you be the one to bear this wish?

Will you be the savior of this era?

"Then take this!"

As Shanks was pondering, Luffy threw a punch at him without hesitation.

The result was that Shanks casually grabbed the kid's fist, twisted and pressed it, and Luffy was Luffy to the ground, unable to move.

"It hurts!"

The boy immediately winced in pain.

You still have a long way to go.

Shanks reluctantly released his grip.

Aside from Roa and his crew, Luffy's strength is already considered exceptionally high among his peers.

However, it's still far from perfect.

Luffy,

Dragon looked intently at his son, "We will now teach you with all our might, so that you can master the true power of that fruit as quickly as possible!"

"Only then will you have the ability to save Pops and Mr. Zephyr!"

"Oh! Bring it on!"

Young Luffy nodded emphatically, "Uncle!"

Dragon's lips twitched slightly. "I've already told you, I'm your father."

"Dad?"

The boy looked confused. "What's that?"

Dragon's eye twitched.

Although I sent this child to my Pops's side shortly after his birth, how exactly did you raise him, Pops and Mr. Zephyr?

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Although it might seem a bit inappropriate, Shanks couldn't help but burst into laughter.

This can be considered finding joy in hardship.

Dragon shook his head. "Take it slow."

Then, he turned to the other person on the black dragon's back, "Dr. Vegapunk, I'll be counting on you from now on."

Don't worry!

Representing Vegapunk's evil avatar, Lilith patted her ample chest and declared confidently, "That Roa guy is far too dangerous for this world!"

"I will fully support you!"

Upon hearing this, Shanks and Dragon's expressions relaxed considerably.

Although it's just an avatar, Vegapunk is still Vegapunk, still the world's greatest scientist!

"But,"

Lilith said seriously, "I need to make this clear first: without sufficient funds and resources, even I can't do anything!"

"About this--"

Shanks scratched his head in exasperation.

This is indeed a big problem.

Let's not even talk about the Straw Hat Pirates; they're practically dirt poor.

Although he knew the location of the Laugh Tale, the Great Treasure had already been taken by Roa.

Dragon's New Revolutionary Army wasn't much better off. Although they had taken refuge in the half of the world that originally belonged to the World Government, they were still treated like Nezumi in the street within that half.

While the period of drastic measures has indeed resulted in the development of some strength, it is difficult to call it wealthy.

However, now that we've finally found a great scientist like Vegapunk, we have to support his research even if it means selling everything we own!

"As for the funds, just leave them all to us!"

"Dragon said solemnly."

In short, they need time now!

On the other side.

While the world was deeply shaken, in a certain part of the sky in the New World, two equally enormous sky ships sailed side by side.

"So, based on the current energy source of the Uranus, we can quickly develop a new type of energy comparable to the solar furnace of the ancient times, right?"

Roa leaned slumped on the throne, looking down at the trembling scientists below.

Apart from Judge and Caesar, Vegapunk and his several clones also wore respectful expressions.

Vegapunk and his clones have all been turned into accomplices by Roa, and they are absolutely loyal to Roa.

"Yes, Boss!"

Although he had only recently joined Calamity Company, Vegapunk was the first to step forward and speak, saying, "Judge and the others' research was already very close to completion. With the addition of the semi-finished energy products I created, the perfect energy source we envisioned is within reach."

"Hmm, it's alright."

Roa nodded slowly and deliberately.

Well, how should I put it?

Nowadays, Ancient Weapon, especially true weapons like those of Pluton and Uranus, seem to be less important to him.

Roa did not believe that the power he now possessed was inferior to that of the Ancient Weapon.

Of course, having something is better than not having it.

While it might not be a lifeline, it's certainly a welcome addition.

"In that case, it seems like it's time to dig up Pluton."

Roa suddenly remembered that the final battle with the World Government was already over, but Pluton was still buried underground in Wano Country.

The decisive power that Joy Boy left to those who came after him ultimately proved useless.

It's Ancient Weapon after all. Since I don't have anything else to do right now, I might as well dig it out. Maybe it will have a chance to appear in the battle against that Dragon of the End later.

Thus, the Calamity City and the Uranus simultaneously began moving towards the Wano Country.

After sending Vegapunk and the others away, Roa was truly bored.

After defeating the World Government, only one final enemy remained on this planet.

Originally, they didn't take Shanks seriously. Although the Dragon of the End, Idhogg, was in his hands, having a mech was useless without a powerful enough pilot.

Although Níðhöggr is a living being, its weapons are ultimately just weapons.

Ancient Weapon all needed someone to guide them, otherwise they would simply go berserk.

Shanks is indeed a very powerful guy; in the original work, he can definitely be considered the epitome of coolness.

However, his skill level is completely outdated compared to the current version.

Now, Roa could eliminate him with just a flick of his finger.

But now that Luffy is involved, things are different.

As things stand, due to the butterfly effect caused by Roa, Shanks doesn't know Luffy at all, and the two can even be considered complete strangers.

However, Roa had a strong intuition that Luffy would one day get entangled with Shanks.

Just like how Shanks is now entangled with Dragon!

Roa learned about this from Zephyr.

Speaking of this, Roa still feels it's quite a pity.

Dragon became wary.

After rebuilding the Revolutionary Army, he separated all the cadres, and everyone was responsible to him alone, without any subordinate to each other.

In addition, Dragon himself was also elusive, and most of the time he communicated via single-line telephone.

The result is that even though there are Roa's people in the new Revolutionary Army, they are ultimately unable to know everything about Dragon's every move like the Revolutionary Army of the past.

It's a pity, Shanks is well aware of his ability to create ghouls, otherwise he could have used Zephyr to locate Dragon.

Is this also fate?

However, although he was somewhat concerned, Roa didn't feel nervous at all.

In any case, all they have to rely on are Luffy and Níðhöggr; what kind of trouble can they possibly cause?

The only one worth caring about is Luffy.

Roa was almost certain that the kid was the savior of this era.

But even saviors aren't immune to failure; wasn't Joy Boy defeated by Imu?

If Luffy can reach his peak, he will definitely surpass Joy Boy. The question is, to what extent?

To be honest, I'm quite looking forward to it.

"Um?"

As he was yawning and daydreaming about the future, Roa suddenly sensed something.

He said somewhat lazily, "Since you're already here, why don't you come in?"

The palace doors were pushed open, and two figures slowly walked in.

Robin looked at the boy sitting crookedly on the throne, his eyes filled with an unprecedented complexity.

After witnessing firsthand the power Roa now possessed, she finally understood what despair truly meant.

The aura displayed by Roa after its evolution is even stronger than that of the immature Níðhöggr!

Shanks could never beat Roa, even with Níðhöggr!

Imu's people have all become Roa's puppets, and Uranus and Pluton will soon be truly and completely resurrected; Níðhöggr alone is simply not enough.

It is probably already very difficult to save the world by relying solely on force.

Therefore, we have to find another way.

Robin took a deep breath.

She stepped up the stairs.

Behind her, Hancock gritted her teeth slightly and quickly followed.

"Oh?"

Roa raised an eyebrow, his gaze towards the two filled with considerable surprise. "Interesting. This is the first time I've seen this kind of expression."

"Robin, are you trying to tell me something interesting?"

"Roa,"

Robin stood before Roa, looking down at the strikingly handsome young man, and said, "I will fall in love with you."

That's a shocking statement!

Even Roa was genuinely taken aback.

"Oh?"

Then, Roa's eyes lit up instantly. "Robin, you're definitely planning something interesting!"

"Roa,"

Robin leaned down slightly and touched Roa's cheek. "Having been an absolute powerhouse since birth, have you ever felt true, pure, and unconditional love?"

"Um,"

Roa rubbed his face against Robin's smooth, delicate palm, and after a moment's thought, said with a sigh, "It seems there really isn't one."

Countless people in this world fear him, and just as many hate him.

A minority admires him, and an even smaller minority is loyal to him.

Of course, there are also people who consider him a friend or partner.

But love seems to be a very distant concept for Roa.

He was an orphan in both his lives and never experienced love from his parents or family.

As for the women, that's even more ridiculous.

The only love I've ever felt from a woman was when I first traveled to this era, after I turned Kozuki Toki into the first evolved form of a changui and twisted her will—a false yet intense love I experienced.

"What a pitiful man."

Hancock stood beside Robin, sighed softly, then bent down and pulled Roa into her arms, pressing Roa's face tightly against her chest.

A flash of obvious disgust crossed the woman's face, but she quickly suppressed it.

Robin said that you have to truly fall in love with this man.

He needs to feel genuine, pure, and undisguised love.

Men will always show some favoritism towards the women who deeply love them.

Roa offered no resistance, raising his arm to wrap around Hancock's waist, nuzzling her cheek slightly, and choosing a more comfortable position.

"So,"

He squinted and said slowly, "So, are you going to teach me what love is next?"

The absolute strength that comes with it brings loneliness, and it taught me what to love.

They're treating me like a nun.

But.

Roa rubbed his face against hers again.

This approach isn't entirely unacceptable.

Order more.

"Um."

Robin put her arm around Roa from the other side, and together with Hancock, they sandwiched Roa in the middle.

The woman said very frankly, "I want to protect this world, but I can't stop you by force, so, Roa, you're bored right now, aren't you?"

"Let's play a game, a dating game."

"That sounds interesting."

Roa raised the corners of his mouth.

Looks like I won't be bored.

After playing the domineering CEO archetype so much, a little pure romance now and then seems to have a different kind of charm.

What does it feel like to love someone?

Roa was actually quite curious.

However, Robin, the first two who sacrificed themselves to feed the demon were Jin Bingyun and Bi Xiuxin, and their fates were not good.
