Sweet Love! Pluton Appears!

Katakuri sensed that Roa been acting very strangely lately.

That kid was practically inseparable from those two women from the original Kuja Pirates every single moment.

Everyone knows that Roa is a lecherous brat.

Robin and Hancock from the original Kuja Pirates were indeed stunningly beautiful women, especially Hancock.

But they've been in Roa's hands for quite some time now. Even if Roa isn't the type to tire of the old and crave the new, surely he wouldn't still be so infatuated with them to this day?

Like now, he wanted to get his best buddies together for a donut party, but this guy still brought those two women along.

They were arm in arm, so affectionate they were practically inseparable.

"Today's perfume... is very special."

Roa ignored the mountain of donuts piled up in front of him, instead burying his face in Hancock's elegant neck.

His warm breath fell on her delicate skin, and he inhaled her fragrance as if savoring a fine vintage wine.

"Chosen especially for you,"

Robin, sitting on the other side, sipped her black tea, a slight smile playing on her lips. "We've been changing our makeup and fragrance every day these past few days. Hancock was initially very reluctant, and it took a lot of persuasion."

"Mind your own business."

Hancock's ears turned red, and she awkwardly turned her head away.

Despite having already had various intimate encounters with Roa, at this moment, the most beautiful woman in the world acted like a young girl experiencing love for the first time.

As Roa's fingertips lightly traced her collarbone, she suddenly grabbed his collar, glaring at him fiercely, "Since... since I've gone to such lengths for you, you'd better give me your heart sooner rather than later!"

"Haven't you already captured my heart long ago?"

Roa chuckled softly, tilted his head back, and placed a light, feather-like kiss on her slightly parted lips.

Looking at her suddenly flushed cheeks, he mischievously rubbed his nose against her burning earlobe. "But this contradictory look of yours is what fascinates me even more."

"... You rude scoundrel!"

Hancock turned her face away in embarrassment and annoyance, but let his hand linger on her waist.

The white camellia in her hair trembled gently with her movements, just like the throbbing emotions in her heart at that moment.

Robin said that pretending was pointless.

What they need to do is forget everything from before and truly fall in love with Roa.

This monster has never experienced love since childhood. If he could truly be taught what love is, then this born demon might undergo some change.

Therefore, Hancock tried very hard to show her true self in front of Roa.

The real Hancock, besides being a powerful pirate, is also a pure-hearted woman.

Although Roa had done all sorts of intimate things with her countless times, her heart was still pure.

Robin then grabbed Roa's hand, her eyelids fluttering slightly, a suggestive glint in her moist eyes. "Won't you try my side, Roa?"

Roa chuckled softly, then took her wrist and pulled her into his arms, giving her a gentle kiss. "Mmm, so much sweeter than Katakuri!"

The three of them breathed heavily, their breaths mingling and rising amidst the sweet aroma of the dessert.

Only Katakuri across the table with a long face, kept stuffing donuts into his mouth while speaking in a completely flat tone, "Roa, what are you doing? Are you looking down on the donuts I painstakingly prepared?"

"There's nothing I can do, my good brother."

Amidst his busy schedule, Roa looked up, a smile on his face, and said, "I'm already savoring something even sweeter and more delicious."

Katakuri's mouth was stuffed full, but he still tried his best to maintain a blank expression. "So the dessert I carefully prepared is not as good as your mushy lovey-dovey stuff?"

"I think you completely misunderstand, my friend."

"The sweetness that love releases is something no dessert can match," Roa said with a chuckle.

"Love?"

Katakuri's lips twitched slightly. "Is this yet another new method of torture?"

"What are you talking about? It's a real relationship."

Roa said with a serious expression, "I really can't reason with a bachelor like you who's over forty. The pure love between young boys and girls is a treasure of this world."

"What utter nonsense are you spouting!"

Katakuri couldn't help but roll his eyes. "You, who were playing battle royale on Beehive Island when you were just a few years old, taking pleasure in torturing people, are you talking about love here? Does the word 'pure' have even the slightest connection to you?"

"One thing at a time."

Roa argued, "Besides, I was only a few years old then, just a child. God forgives children when they make mistakes!"

"That God is truly merciful,"

Katakuri scoffed, "I've forgiven you since you were a child."

"Wait, Roa, Battle Royale, what's that?"

Seeing that Roa was already fully engaged in conversation with Katakuri, Robin couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Although he repeatedly claimed to be fascinated by them, his every move certainly exuded ambiguity.

But she knew very well that it was still a long way off before Roa could truly fall in love with them.

Through these past few days of truly close contact, she has come to understand that Roa lacks empathy for humans.

Simply put, in his eyes, humans are not even the same species as him.

Or, to put it another way, everything in this world was insignificant to him.

However, Roa is not truly devoid of emotions.

At least Katakuri was standing right in front of him, was a friend he truly acknowledged.

Although this guy is currently in the way.

"That one,"

Roa was instantly lost in memories because of Robin's question, "That happened when I was six years old!"

"I found four pirate crews on Beehive Island, then announced to all the pirates on the island that they had become the prey. Then, all the pirates on Beehive Island began a grand hunting expedition."

"I'll never forget the way those guys screamed and ran away while desperately resisting. Thinking about it now, I actually miss it."

"But we can't go back," Roa sighed. "Humans are such greedy creatures. When we were kids, we could have found happiness so easily."

"But as you grow up, even destroying a country can't bring back that kind of happiness. Childhood is gone forever."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Katakuri couldn't help but laugh out loud, shaking his head as he laughed, "You—after all these years, you haven't changed at all."

"Just to become stronger?"

Hancock instinctively tightened her grip on Roa's hand.

He told them himself that human suffering could make Roa stronger.

"Mmm-hmm-hmm-hmm."

Roa nodded repeatedly, complaining, "My ability is troublesome, isn't it? Only human suffering can make me evolve! I have no choice."

"But,"

He seemed to have thought of something, and added with a grin, "On the other hand, there was also the reason that we were really bored at the time."

Are you bored?

Robin did feel a sense of powerlessness at that moment.

Can this guy really change things?

But the next moment, Robin reaffirmed her resolve.

There's no other way!

"From now on, we will always be by your side."

Robin leaned gently on Roa's shoulder and whispered, "I won't let you be bored anymore."

"Oh?"

Katakuri was munching on a donut, raised an eyebrow. "Finally, I understand. Hey, Roa, these two women aren't hoping to change you with some kind of love, are they?"

"When you love someone, you strive to become a better person; they want me to become a better person too."

Roa smiled and said, "Isn't it a very simple principle?"

Hahahaha!

Katakuri into laughter, doubled over with mirth.

Is there really such a thing?

These two women are really hilarious!

How can someone like Roa, who is inherently evil, be changed?

Even death probably cannot erase the malice etched deep in his soul!

Robin and Hancock showed no reaction to Katakuri's mockery.

That's all they can do.

"Seriously, as a good brother, can't you wish me well for once Katakuri!"

Roa said irritably, "Enjoy your donuts and don't bother my sweet romance!"

I don't care about love or not.

Katakuri scoffed, "Are you going to eat the donut or not?"

"You bastard--"

Roa sighed helplessly, "I just can't do anything with you."

As he spoke, he picked up a donut and popped it into his mouth, mumbling to Robin and the other man, "You two should try it too. This guy only has decent taste when it comes to donuts."

"Then I'll have to try it."

As Robin said this, he also picked up a donut.

Indeed, Katakuri is a very special person to Roa.

This born monster also has normal human emotions!

He simply disregards others, treating them as the same species as everyone else in the world, which is why he is so cold and ruthless!

His innate strength distorted his worldview!

Robin thought to herself, perhaps Roa was actually a very pitiful person?

While the group was quietly enjoying their donuts...

Dylan rushed in through the door, "Boss! Wano Country!"

"Oh?"

The colossal Calamity City and the equally colossal Uranus, float silently above Wano Country.

Roa stood at the edge of the sea of clouds surrounding the Calamity City, silently looking down at the country below.

It's been many years since I've been back to Wano Country. Come to think of it, how many years has it been since I conquered this country with Big Brother Kaido? Well, it seems like it was only five or six years ago.

"So, Roa,"

The Golden Lion asked with great interest, "How do you plan to retrieve Pluton?"

The high-ranking members of the pirate alliance gathered around Roa.

They did not go to war.

It was the naval high command, now transformed into demons, who led the attack; Roa thought that would be more interesting.

"Mother, Mother, Pluton is buried underground in Wano Country,"

Charlotte Linlin grinned, "Should we just blow this island apart?"

Robin, standing to Roa's right, visibly tensed up.

There's no need to go to that extent. With Roa's current power, wouldn't it be an easy task for him to open Wano Country to the world?

But she didn't say that.

She wanted to give Roa her wholehearted love, so she couldn't do anything that would make Roa unhappy.

"Break through?"

Roa chuckled softly, his Observation Haki sweeping across the area slightly, and almost immediately, "Oh! Found it! In that case, there's an even faster way, but I wonder if you, Big Brother Kaido, are willing to give it up?"

"Snort,"

Kaido sneered, "What is this country now? Do whatever you want with it!"

"Then there's no problem."

Roa raised his hand and gently pressed it into the air. "Wano Country, I hope you're not too fragile."

At first, there was no sound at all.

On the streets of the Capital of Flowers, a few scattered pedestrians still hurried along.

Thick smoke continued to billow into the sky from the factories outside the city.

In the mines of Udon, laborers are still toiling away, mining ore.

But the next moment, the entire Wano Country began to shake violently.

"An earthquake?"

People across the country screamed in terror almost simultaneously.

But the real disaster was only just beginning.

This is the Capital of Flowers.

The ground in the center of the city suddenly arched upwards, forming a mountain range. The bluestone pavement cracked inch by inch, and the houses were torn apart as if they were made of paper.

The mountain existed for only a moment. The next instant, the mountain shattered, and a crimson pillar of fire shot into the sky, turning the dim sky blood red.

That was no ordinary volcanic eruption.

The entire earth was erupting upwards.

Lava erupted from the ground like a fountain, shooting thousands of meters into the air before falling back down like raindrops.

The volcano suddenly expanded in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, most of the Capital of Flowers was turned into a fountain of lava, and everything within its range was directly swallowed up.

However, this does not mean that people outside the crater are safe.

"Run!"

A scream erupted instantly.

Where can we escape to?

Lava fell like a torrential rain, instantly smashing houses to pieces and melting those who were touched by it.

The entire Capital of Flowers was destroyed in an instant.

Along with plumes of volcanic ash shooting into the sky, lava rain began to spread towards the surrounding area.

But this wasn't even the main damage.

Earthquake.

At the moment of the volcanic eruption, Wano Country was struck by an unprecedented super earthquake.

The earth shattered, and mountains collapsed.

The land of Wano Country, which was surrounded by the Inland Sea, had been directly broken into pieces and began to sink.

"Ah, I forgot that Wano Country's current territory is actually a floating island that was built later!"

On the Calamity City, Roa looked as if he had just woken up from a dream.

The original territory of Wano Country was submerged long ago due to the formation of the Inland Sea. The current territory was formed later, relying on the large mountain in the center of the country. It is located halfway up the mountain and is very vulnerable.

Now there are both volcanoes and earthquakes, which have directly caused the land to collapse.

"Hahaha! You really are something else! This country is completely finished now!"

The Golden Lion laughed heartily.

Robin and Hancock both turned their heads away, avoiding looking at the country below that was already in a state of destruction.

A country can be destroyed simply by lifting a finger.

Roa —as expected, it's virtually impossible to save the world by fighting against him.

"Oh?"

Just then, Roa's eyes suddenly lit up, "They're here!"

Just as the country was on the verge of destruction, the eruption column at the very center of the volcano suddenly became even more violent.

A colossal, pitch-black object was suddenly propelled high into the sky by lava.

Pluton has appeared in the world!
