Let the War Begin! Useless Man

An island.

The island's dense forests have been completely reduced to ruins, as if a giant beast had ravaged the island. There are huge craters and bottomless cracks everywhere, and even several mountain peaks have been smashed to pieces.

"Hehehehe! How about that! I've become super strong now, right!"

The black-haired boy grinned and raised both fists.

"Amazing!"

Shanks, the red-haired man, sat on a log, smiling and giving the boy a thumbs-up.

He was panting heavily, his face bruised and swollen, looking quite disheveled.

But at this moment, his face wore the most genuine and radiant smile.

"Wow, amazing! Luffy!"

The green cloak fluttered in the wind, and Dragon, whose face was also bruised and swollen, wore a hearty smile.

This usually serious man couldn't help but want to laugh at this moment, because his heart was filled with excitement and joy.

"That's amazing!"

At that moment, Dragon was so moved that he almost shed tears.

Because of this child, his son Luffy has become incredibly strong!

In the battle just now, Luffy fought two opponents single-handedly, yet still managed to defeat the combined forces of Luffy and Shanks with a huge advantage!

Such power far exceeds the limits of human capability!

Even Imu wouldn't be much stronger than Luffy right now!

Although Roa has become more powerful Imu, he is by no means unapproachable.

After all, none of them had ever seen what Roa looked like when he actually made a move.

However, that's enough.

In that case!!

We can fight!

"Call-

Dragon let out a long sigh of relief, feeling an unprecedented sense of ease. His voice even sounded somewhat unsteady, "It feels like a dream."

"But,"

His smile faded slightly as he looked at Shanks and said, "Shanks, how did you do that? I really can't imagine how much could have changed in just two years!"

Two years ago, Luffy could only be described as immature. Although he had eaten a legendary Devil Fruit, he was still far from being a true powerhouse.

"I don't know either, except for Luffy, not me."

Shanks said with a grin, "I'm teaching Luffy the same way Mr. Rayleigh taught me."

"However, Luffy's rate of becoming stronger is astonishing."

"Perhaps,"

He thought for a moment and said, "Luffy is the person Joy Boy and Captain Roger were waiting for, isn't he?"

"The whole world is helping him."

That fruit, that Rubber Fruit, should actually be given to Luffy.

But it's too late to regret it now.

Roa, that monster, was also someone favored by fate.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that he has never suffered a setback since his debut, and has always been successful.

Without a doubt, Roa is the Imu of this era, and he has even surpassed Imu.

That's Luffy.

Shanks looked at Luffy, who had a smile on his face.

Can you surpass Joy Boy?

Is it time?

Dragon looked at Shanks with a serious expression.

"Simply continuing to train won't make Luffy stronger."

Shanks said, "Níðhöggr has also reached maturity and is now able to unleash the true power of Ancient Weapon."

Dragon nodded slightly, agreeing, "Dr. Lilith's research is also complete. Although it's still not quite at the level of a true Uranus, the weapon's power shouldn't be too much weaker!"

Fortunately, when Dr. Vegapunk was adapting the energy system for Uranus, he had taken detailed measurements of the ship and, through reverse engineering, was able to analyze Uranus's weapon system to some extent.

During those two years, Lilith's task was to replicate the Uranus's weapon.

She is also Vegapunk, and she also possesses that unfinished energy technology.

Although it's a semi-finished product, aren't replica weapons also semi-finished products?

The two are quite compatible.

And now, that weapon has been declared complete.

"In that case,"

Shanks grinned. "Then we won't wait!"

We can't delay any longer.

That bastard Roa isn't just ravaging the world.

The Calamity Company has been collecting various resources from around the world for the past two years.

They are still constantly expanding their strength!

But what in this world could possibly warrant such serious attention from them?

Are we waiting for each other?

Shanks was very self-aware; he knew that given Roa's arrogance, he wouldn't have gone to such lengths if he only considered them as potential enemies.

Roa must be preparing for an even more terrifying, unknown enemy.

Of course, whether there are unknown enemies or not is irrelevant to them.

The significant point is that as Roa's power continues to expand, the situation in the war will only continue to worsen.

We can't delay any longer!

Now's the only chance!

"Finally, we can go and beat that Roa guy to a pulp, right?!"

Luffy clenched his fist impatiently, "Hehehe! As long as we defeat that guy, Grandpa and Uncle Zephyr will all be back to normal!"

Shanks and Dragon exchanged a glance.

In the past two years, the former high-ranking officers of the Navy have stirred up wave after wave of bloodshed in the world.

The Calamity Company that massacred those disobedient pirates a while ago was the one that did it.

The warriors who once upheld justice have now become Roa Mo's most loyal lackeys.

Whether they are Marine Hero, Fleet Admiral, Marine Admiral, or naval chief instructors, they are all scattered across the sea, guarding the ocean alongside the monsters of the pirate alliance that has divided the world. They are the first obstacle standing in the way of all those who want to overthrow Roa.

If someone has been manipulated to that extent, is there really any possibility of returning to normal?

Yes!

Dragon replied to his son, "As long as we win, everything will definitely be alright!"

Beautiful wishes.

"Yay!!"

The boy, carrying the hopes of the entire world on his shoulders, jumped ten meters high in excitement.

Seeing the boy's excited expression, the two adults present couldn't help but shake their heads with amusement.

Ultimately, it's all just a child's mentality.

"So,"

Shanks asked seriously, "How should we fight?"

Dragon said, "The best way would be to do what the World Government did back then: find Roa's location, execute a decapitation strike, and take him down in one fell swoop!"

With such limited resources, they are simply not qualified to fight a global war with the Calamity Company.

Moreover, there's absolutely no need to do that.

If we can kill Roa, then everything will be over.

Without Roa, no matter how strong the pirate alliance is, it's absolutely no match for Luffy and Níðhöggr.

Uranus, Neptune Pluton are indeed powerful, but without a sufficiently strong person to guide and protect them, they can never unleash their true power!

"That makes sense!"

Shanks nodded in deep agreement.

While Níðhöggr is indeed less destructive than other Ancient Weapon, its greatest advantage lies in its agility, making it more effective against a single, powerful target!

If they can find Roa's location, Luffy and Níðhöggr teaming up shouldn't have any chance of losing!

"So, how do we find that guy Roa?"

Luffy blinked and asked.

Shanks and Dragon hesitated for a moment.

Yes, how do we find it?

The World Government went to great lengths to find Roa back then.

And now, the situation they face is not much better than that of the World Government back then.

After taking over this world, that monster, Roa, almost never showed his face again.

If it weren't for his constant issuance of various orders to torment the people of this world, they might have already forgotten his existence.

One thing that must be admitted is that the monster Roa doesn't seem to have any particularly strong desires.

He conquered the world, but the world remained in chaos. The so-called rule of the Calamity Company was far too unrealistic and failed to penetrate the grassroots of the world.

Roa even divided the entire world among the monsters around him, leaving none for himself.

He seemed genuinely indifferent to power.

Money is meaningless to him; he has already obtained the legendary Great Treasure and now he has taken control of the entire world. The world is at his disposal, and the reason he imposes heavy taxes on all countries is simply because he wants to torment people.

That guy seems to really just want to wreak havoc on this world.

He seems quite satisfied with the world now, so he has simply disappeared without a trace.

"Although we have accumulated some strength in the East Blue over the years, even in this area, our intelligence capabilities are still worlds apart from those of the Calamity Company."

Dragon's tone was grave. "Not to mention the global scale! The Calamity Company is monitoring the entire world using methods we don't understand! If we were to compete with them in intelligence capabilities, we probably wouldn't even have time to see Roa before our whereabouts are completely exposed!"

Today, it's no secret that the Calamity Company possesses some means of monitoring the entire world.

After all, those pirate crews that were destroyed a few months ago were all targeted precisely and then crushed one by one.

"In that case, a decapitation strike would be virtually impossible."

Shanks took a deep breath and said solemnly, "We have no choice but to take the risk and let Roa come over on his own!"

Dragon glanced at him, pondered for a moment, and then nodded emphatically with a do-or-die attitude, "It seems there's no better way!"

"And if we want Roa to come in person,"

Shanks grinned, "Looks like we'll have to turn this East Blue upside down!"

"Leave it to me and Níðhöggr!"

"?"

Young Luffy blinked blankly, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly exclaimed, "What about me?"

Luffy,

Shanks thought for a moment, then took off his straw Straw Hat and placed it on the boy's head. "You're our ace, of course you have to step up at the most crucial moment!"

"Oh!!"

The boy's eyes lit up instantly.

"That's settled then!"

Shanks, while pressing Luffy, looked at Dragon and said, "It's decided then, Dragon. Níðhöggr and I will cause a ruckus and lure Roa here. You go and gather all the forces."

Although, apart from Luffy and Níðhöggr, having more people would probably be of little use.

But at this moment, any amount of strength can create a miracle!

"Good!"

Dragon nodded emphatically, "This time, it's up to us to save the world!"

In a certain part of the sky in this world.

The Calamity City floats silently here.

"Ha Qiu!"

Roa, who was lazily watching a movie, suddenly sneezed.

"You monster can catch a cold?"

A lazy voice came from behind.

Roa rubbed his nose, somewhat annoyed, and said, "Someone's probably talking about me behind my back. Honestly, I've been so well-behaved lately, and I haven't offended anyone."

"Ha?"

The woman, whom Roa was leaning against like a sofa, burst out laughing. "What nonsense are you spouting? There are hardly any people in the world who don't want you to die right now!"

"Really, Bonney,"

Roa didn't turn around, but just rubbed his head to find a more comfortable position. "Has anyone ever told you that you're really bad at talking?"

"I'm just telling the truth. Don't move around, let me rest for a bit."

Bonney frowned slightly, and with her two large hands, she grabbed Roa's body lying on top of her and pulled him up as if she were grabbing a doll.

The difference in their body sizes is indeed striking.

At over two meters tall, Roa was indeed only the size of a doll next to Bonney, who was over eight meters tall.

However, Lord Roa is incredibly knowledgeable and worldly-wise.

The eight-meter-tall Bonney was just a small fry; he had friendly exchanges with giants over twenty meters tall, and even female giants with ancient giant bloodlines who were thirty or forty meters tall.

"But,"

Bonney looked at Roa, whom he was holding in front of, with some suspicion. "Are you impotent, Roa?"

"Ah?"

Roa, who had been indifferent to being treated like a doll, suddenly glared at him coldly, "What did you say?"

Who was that yelling and begging for mercy just now?

Although Luo considers himself broad-minded and magnanimous, he has basically never been angry in his life.

However, he would never admit to such a fundamental accusation!

"Who told you that!"

Bonney rolled her eyes.

Her face was slightly flushed.

This bastard can now control his body size at will, and his stamina is practically limitless. Who can possibly defeat him?

Even a body of steel would be worn down to the point of sparks, okay?

What she really wanted to say was, "What I really want to know is, why haven't I gotten pregnant yet after all this time!"

"Oh?"

Roa raised an eyebrow and smiled with interest, reaching out to lift Bonney's chin. "Isn't a world for two nice?"

"What a world of two farts!"

Bonney rudely brushed Roa's hand away. "There are almost more women than soldiers on this ship. Didn't you just come from those two stinky women from the Kuja Pirates?"

"Besides, if it weren't for having a child with you, I would have gone back to the New World with Katakuri long ago!"

"Well."

Roa sighed dejectedly.

Bonney truly lives up to her reputation as Aunt Linlin's biological daughter.

When faced with this situation, Roa truly felt that he was the one who had suffered a loss.

Aunt Linlin eventually separated from Katakuri.

She took some of her children who were willing to follow her and went to the North Blue to establish a new Charlotte Family.

The aliens' child has already had one offspring.

However, Bonney's desire to have a child with Roa is unrelated to this.

She was just bored.

After all, the pirate alliance hasn't fought in a long time.

Furthermore, Bonney also wanted to pass on the Bakaria Tribe bloodline from her father.

And since you're going to have a child, of course you have to find the best bloodline in the world.

That's why she's Aunt Linlin's daughter!

For this, Katakuri was beaten up by Roa – he wanted to beat Roa, but ended up being the incompetent older brother.

"Say something! Don't play dead!"

Bonney's tone was full of resentment as she grabbed Roa and shook him violently, "You're not infertile, are you?"

So many women, and not a single one got pregnant!

"Well."

Roa smiled, then said seriously, "In the animal kingdom, the more powerful a creature is, the less likely it is to reproduce!"

"Perhaps, I've evolved to too high a level!"

"Ah?"

Bonney was completely taken aback, "Is that so?"

Roa said with a serious expression, "Let's try a few more times!"

"Forehead"

Bonney's expression visibly stiffened slightly, then he forced a change of topic in an even more rigid tone, "Speaking of which, how long are those guys going to hide? If they don't come out soon, we'll be heading to space!"

Her flustered appearance only deepened Roa's smile.

Oh, kawaii kodo!

Then, he thought for a moment, "It should be this year."

This year is 1522 in the Grand Line Calendar. Although I didn't see the final ending of the story because I traveled through time early, the final battle should have taken place in this year.

Níðhöggr should be fully developed by this year.

In any case, those guys should take some action.
