Hope Faded from the World! The Space Pirates!

The New World, Calamity City high in the sky.

The monsters of the pirate alliance were pointing and gesturing at a giant world map.

They are dividing up territory.

Now that the entire world is nominally under Roa's control, it's finally time to divide up the territory.

There are six sea areas in this world. If we just divide them up to the Flying Pirates, the Beasts Pirates, and the Charlotte Family, it would be too easy. Each family would have one sea area to spare.

But the problem is that the guys under Roa also want to join this feast.

Teach and Loki were the most mischievous, while Doflamingo, Bege, and the others, though aware that they were not worthy of being on equal footing with these monsters, made no secret of their desire to acquire territory.

In addition, Charlotte Linlin also refused to share a territory with Katakuri.

She's planning to create a new Charlotte Family.

Because of her Pure Gold, she basically maintains the physical condition of someone in their forties, and having another batch of children would be no problem at all. You know, in the original work, Charlotte Linlin's youngest child was born when she was sixty years old!

Furthermore, there is another crucial issue: although this world is naturally divided into six seas by the Red Line and the Calm Belt, which seems easy to divide, the Grand Line is far too narrow compared to the Four Seas.

Although everyone had been active in the Grand Line before this, and the whole world called the Grand Line the greatest sea area.

However, when it came time to divide the territory, all that remained for Paradise and New World was disdain.

Everyone was arguing like old men and women shopping at a market, staring at the world map.

Roa didn't seem to care much about this. He simply sat leisurely on the throne, with Hancock on his right and Robin on his left, whispering to the two beauties.

"However, Roa,"

Robin whispered worriedly in Roa's ear, "Although I find it hard to imagine that they would betray you one day, is it really okay to just divide up the whole world like this?"

"Really,"

Roa chuckled and pinched Robin's remarkably prominent nose. "Are you trying to sow discord, Robin?"

"I'm just curious."

Robin raised her hand and casually pushed Roa away.

This was no simple action; at least among all the women around Roa, apart from Robin and Hancock, no one else dared to refuse any casual gesture from Roa.

"Well, I've already said I'm not interested in ruling."

Roa casually remarked, "If it weren't for Imu's terrible performance, I wouldn't even bother competing with him for this world."

"Was it really that badly done?"

Hancock quipped, "Is it because there are still happy countries in a world ruled by the World Government?"

"Right!"

Roa looked indignant. "Imu's problem is that he's not a good person, fine, but he can't even be a good one."

"Who could be as bad as you?"

Hancock poked Roa's face with her finger.

Without each other noticing, the two seemed to have grown accustomed to all sorts of intimate interactions.

It's not just the simple physical intimacy of the past, but a deeper, more heartfelt exchange.

"I'm just a foodie who simply craves delicious food."

Roa felt insulted and said with some regret, "My childhood dream was to turn this world into a world of delicious food."

I vaguely remember that when the captain heard about his dream back then, he laughed so hard he almost fell over.

"You're such a glutton!"

Hancock rolled her eyes dramatically.

"There's nothing I can do,"

"People often assume that as their status, power, and wealth increase, they will live a more comfortable life than before," Roa sighed.

"But in reality, at least in this world, everything that people can enjoy is limited."

"Once power, strength, and wealth reach a certain level, no matter how much they are improved upon, the quality of what one can enjoy will not increase further."

"It's like,"

Roa pinched Hancock's chin. "I already have the most beautiful woman in the world. After that, no matter how powerful I become, I will never have a more beautiful woman."

"Of course, I'm the most beautiful!"

Hancock's cheeks were slightly flushed, but her expression remained radiant.

"Yes, it's so breathtaking."

Roa couldn't resist giving the woman a light kiss on her red lips.

It has to be said that he was indeed somewhat addicted to it.

"I see,"

Robin nodded, somewhat enlightened. "The pleasures that come with power and wealth are finite, and they've become nothing special to you, so you don't care. But your evolution is limitless."

"Yes."

Roa chuckled softly, "That's why I said this world is too narrow. No matter how much it's exploited, this world can no longer allow me to undergo another evolution."

"So sooner or later, we will go into the universe to explore a wider world."

"The universe?"

Robin was slightly startled, then happily hugged Roa's arm, "If you leave this world, then won't the people living on this planet finally be able to see the dawn?"

"Wow, really, they're not even bothering to hide their intentions anymore?"

Roa said with a hint of amusement.

Robin simply gazed into the boy's eyes and said earnestly, "If we choose to hide ourselves, then it's not truly loving you wholeheartedly, is it?"

Roa simply smiled and pulled the woman into his arms, nuzzling his forehead with his chin.

I know this woman wants to save the world, and wants to stop me from bringing further disaster to humanity.

But knowing is one thing.

Two such stunning beauties openly revealed their feelings to him, painstakingly trying to understand his preferences, and showering him with the most intense love. Roa was only human, and although he was a bit mischievous, it was really hard not to be attracted to them.

After all, humans are creatures who judge by appearances, and Robin and Hancock are just too good-looking.

Robin quietly pressed her face against Roa's chest, listening to the pounding of his heart.

She was getting to know Roa better and better.

To be honest, in his daily life, Roa is not a particularly vicious person.

At least he usually gets along well with his uncles, aunts, and older brothers, joking and playing around, and even occasionally showing the temperament of a young man.

His terror stems primarily from two reasons.

First, it's because they don't care.

He didn't consider most people in this world to be human, and he was indifferent to how many of them died.

Second, is evolution.

Evolution—this is probably the thing Roa is most obsessed with in this world, and anyone who stands in his way will be eliminated without hesitation.

Because he doesn't care, and because human suffering is the fuel for his evolution, Roa reveals his malice to the world without reservation.

Perhaps because she had been telling herself that she must love Roa unconditionally, Robin even felt a pang of heartache when Robin realized what was going on.

Roa, isn't he being completely driven by his own abilities?

Fortunately, besides evolution, his ultimate goal, Roa isn't without other hobbies; he's quite lecherous, at least.

Roa glanced down at him and knew what Robin was brooding over.

To this, he could only laugh.

Robin, I think you don't understand at all.

For us male protagonists in this kind of online novel, the main storyline is all about leveling up and collecting girls!!

In the Calamity City, while the monsters are fiercely arguing over the division of the world, the half of the world that has just been conquered is finally beginning to face hardship.

East Blue, Kingdom of Goa.

Not far from the port that had been completely destroyed in the Sea Beast's rampage, on a makeshift dock, ships set sail.

This is a large fleet, and more importantly, every single ship is a warship.

However, at this moment, pirate flags were flying from the masts of these warships!

Although in the other half of the world on the Red Line, all ships must fly pirate flags, this rule has clearly not yet spread to the East Blue.

So why do these warships fly pirate flags?

The reason is actually quite simple.

"This country is finished!!"

In the center of the fleet, on the deck of the largest, best-equipped, and most luxuriously decorated ship, a man dressed in fine clothes, with thick lips and a brown mushroom haircut, was giving a passionate speech.

"Lord Roa's heavy taxes will completely crush this country! Just like those countries in the West Blue and North Blue!"

"If we remain in the Kingdom of Goa, we will only face death!"

"So we have to set sail! Becoming pirates is our only way out! On that vast ocean beyond the Red Line, pirates are the only people who are not bound by any rules!"

A group of well-dressed nobles were gathered on the deck of the large ship.

Among them, the person surrounded by everyone in the middle wore a crown and had white hair and beard. The king of this country stroked his beard and looked at the mushroom-headed man with satisfaction.

He turned to a nobleman beside him and said, "Otruk, you've raised a fine child. If it weren't for him, we might still be waiting to die on this island."

"You're too kind, Your Majesty,"

Otruk quickly bowed respectfully and said, "Stelly only offered a preliminary suggestion; without your wise leadership, everything would have been in vain."

"Ha ha ha ha."

The old king laughed heartily, "But I never imagined that one day I would actually go to sea and become a pirate!"

"Your Majesty's words..."

A mushroom-haired man named Stelly approached, extremely respectful, "Even if you become a pirate, you'll definitely be the king of pirates!"

Hahahaha!

The old king was immediately flattered and beamed with joy.

The atmosphere on deck was also joyful.

In short, in order to protect themselves, the nobles of this country hastily set sail with a large amount of treasure.

At this point, they didn't realize that pirates simply faced fewer restrictions; no one had ever said that becoming a pirate guaranteed safety.

These nobles of the Kingdom of Goa were not the only ones who shared the same idea.

In the Logue Town.

"Hahaha! Hand over all the treasure!!"

A group of slovenly individuals brandishing weapons were looting and pillaging in a section of Logue Town.

"Jack! What are you doing?!"

An elderly man, mercilessly slashed to the ground, screamed in terror. He stared at the leader in disbelief. "You were born and raised in this neighborhood! Why would you do such a thing!"

"Of course it's because I'm getting ready to set sail, you old geezer!"

Jack, a petty thug himself, nonchalantly kicked the old man away. "Hahaha! The era of pirates is about to begin! Who wants to stay on this island and wait to die?!"

"Once I've built a powerful pirate crew, I'll join the Calamity Company! Then, the whole world will be mine to roam!"

Amidst the maniacal laughter, people screamed and scattered.

"Where's the navy?! Why isn't the navy coming yet?!"

"Where are the Marines now?! They've either all been killed by that giant, or they've become soldiers under the Calamity Company! No one will protect us anymore!!"

"Help!!"

Despair is spreading.

In fact, not only in the East Blue, but also in the South Blue, in Paradise, and on this half of the world on the Red Line, large numbers of people flocked to the sea, hoisted pirate flags, and became new pirates!

After all, everyone knows that Roa is relatively lenient towards pirates.

While many were forced into this situation and simply wanted to preserve themselves, there were also quite a few mad, ambitious individuals.

After openly conquering half of the world, the Calamity Company has begun its operations again.

Cocoyasi Village.

The villagers were all gathered together and formed a long queue.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak, one by one. Lord Roa's only requirement for you is to pay taxes."

The laughter was unusually strange. A man wearing a long trench coat, a hood, and with three whiskers on each cheek, looking like a Nezumi, grinned and said, "Anyone who doesn't pay taxes is doomed!"

Behind him stood a group of heavily armed navy soldiers, their cold gun barrels pointed at the angry but silent civilians.

Nami gritted her teeth in the queue.

The Navy has now become an accomplice of that guy Roa!!

Moreover, if such taxes are paid only once, the family will soon be struggling to make ends meet!

What about next time?

What should I do if I can't pay my taxes next time?

Everyone knows that paying taxes is a slow death.

But no one dared to resist.

This group of corrupt navy men alone is already a force that the villagers can hardly contend with.

Not to mention the Calamity Company.

Everyone had no choice but to obediently pay the money.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak."

The former Marine Branch colonel, who looked like Nezumi and was also nicknamed "Nezumi Captain Nezumi," chuckled strangely.

Although the tax base issued by the higher authorities was already quite high, he still added a small amount to it.

Being a pirate is so much more fun than being a marine!

"Um?"

Captain Nezumi suddenly paused, noticing the two sisters who stood out from the crowd.

"Oh!!"

The man, who looked like a sleazy Nezumi, suddenly brightened up.

It is said that the great Lord Roa was very fond of beautiful girls!

In any case, in this half of the world, the Calamity Company has also started collecting taxes.

Everyone knows that this half of the world is also gradually heading towards collapse.

But no one could stop it.

Because it seems there is no hope left in this world.

Meanwhile...

Calamity City.

Judge suddenly received a communication.

"Judge! We've been attacked! It's a group of pirates!"

A somewhat monotonous voice came from the other end of the specially made communicator.

"Attack?"

Judge was genuinely taken aback and subconsciously glanced at the communicator in his hand.

"You mean, the base on the moon was attacked? By space pirates?"
