Gathered Strength! Sudden Strike!

Roa's life over the past two years has been quite decadent.

In the end, those who could be called enemies vanished without a trace, without even a hint of trying to cause trouble.

Without any enemies, with the whole world in your grasp, what difference is there between that and having no worries at all?

So, Roa could only pass the time by listening to music, flipping through books, watching movies, and playing with girls.

After all, I'm getting older. The simple joy I felt as a child, just watching pirates fight each other in the arena, is something I can never go back to.

This is what growing pains are like.

Moreover, as the world was divided and everyone went to their own territory, this Calamity City eventually became somewhat lonely.

Sigh, that's what Lao Luo, living alone, said.

Fortunately, there were quite a few people who stayed in the city to keep Roa.

After Bonney fled in terror at Roa's suggestion to try a few more times, Roa was yawning as he calmly watched the movie written, directed, and starring his capable subordinate Tesoro.

It has to be said, Tesoro is indeed a true all-rounder.

Not only is he exceptionally talented in combat, but he is also remarkably gifted in business, singing, and acting.

Although this world now basically has no decent businesses, and even less need for big stars.

However, Tesoro truly possesses a unique ability when it comes to entertaining Roa.

Just as Roa was getting drowsy, a figure sat down beside him.

Smelling that familiar fragrance, Roa's body naturally slid down, her head resting on her soft yet supple thighs.

Robin raised her hand and gently combed the man's not-too-long hair.

Even she had to admit that, in terms of appearance, the man in front of her was truly perfect in every way. His black hair was jet black and shiny, thick and full, and the feel of it was superb.

Robin hadn't seen many men, but she certainly couldn't find one who could rival Roa in appearance.

"Bonney will be very angry when she finds out the truth."

The woman's voice was calm yet gentle.

Roa felt the touch of Robin's slender fingers as they ran through his hair. Already feeling drowsy, he became even more relaxed. "Right, Robin, you think it'll be fun, right?"

"That's just wishful thinking!"

With a cold snort, Hancock emerged from the dim shadows, her eyes filled with tenderness as she looked down at Roa. "We're enough to bear Roa's child!"

"Really."

Roa waved to Hancock.

Even though they were already an old married couple, Hancock's cheeks were still slightly flushed. She couldn't wait to walk over quickly, grab Roa's hand, and throw herself into his arms.

"Roa! We should hurry up and get rid of that pushover woman! And that white-haired guy too! They're all annoying bastards!"

Hancock said softly, "If it's inconvenient for you to do it, then we'll do it!"

Roa gently stroked Hancock's long, smooth hair as if petting a cat, "This jealous look is also cute."

She loves me so much.

"Isn't it cute?"

Hancock blushed instantly, her heart pounded like a drum, and her voice stammered, "This, this is, a proposal?"

"Hahaha!"

Roa's sleepiness was completely dispelled by Hancock's cuteness, and he laughed heartily, "I've already said, I don't need children, and of course, I don't need a wife."

"Ugh!"

Hancock was struck dumb, tears welling in her eyes, and nestled against Roa's chest, nuzzling him affectionately.

Two years ago, who would have imagined that Hancock, who hated Roa to the core, would be so intimate with him?

"What a cold-hearted man."

Robin sighed softly, "Even so, are you still indifferent to us?"

"What are you saying?"

Roa raised his hand and gently stroked Robin's cheek. The touch was smooth and delicate, like caressing the finest jade. "I'm not some heartless monster. How could I remain unmoved when I'm so captivated by your beauty and gentleness?"

"But emotions are only one part of our lives."

"Feelings are important, but my principles are also important."

So, did we fail?

Robin grabbed Roa's hand and pressed it against her face, "In the end, I still couldn't stop you."

"Wait a minute, if it weren't for you guys keeping me company these past two years, I might have already run off to some island to cause trouble and relieve my boredom."

Roa comforted her.

You won't do that.

Robin said softly, "Just as you said, population is the most precious resource in the world. You're only tormenting people, but no one wants them to reproduce more than you do."

Roa just smiled.

However, he realized that he had indeed fallen in love with both women.

Who could resist?

They are completely obedient to themselves and are always incredibly beautiful.

Moreover, as time went by, they were no longer merely obedient puppets, but gradually began to show their own personalities.

Robin's gentle yet strong nature, Hancock's haughty and spoiled attitude, both captivated Roa.

It was quite interesting.

But, as he said, love is only a small part of life, enough to be used as an embellishment.

"..."

Robin remained silent, only gently stroking Roa's black hair.

While Roa was indulging in a life of pleasure, in the East Blue, in the Kingdom of Goa...

In a deserted corner of the factory.

Sabo carefully held a Den Den Mushi, his Observation Haki already spreading out, constantly alert to whether anyone was approaching.

The Den Den Mushi emitted rhythmic, varying lengths of tapping sounds.

As he listened, Sabo's eyes suddenly lit up with excitement, but he didn't speak. Instead, he gently tapped the shell on the back of the Den Den Mushi in response.

After exchanging the coded messages for a while, Sabo excitedly hung up the phone and put away the Den Den Mushi.

Is it finally time to take action?

Suppressing his excitement, Sabo returned to his workstation as if nothing had happened.

The more critical the moment, the less you can afford to reveal any weaknesses.

Even at this final moment, we must still play our role as workers.

As he continued working, he saw a somewhat dazed Rudy, the man who lived in the shanty next to his and was also the first person he had recruited into the Revolutionary Army.

But after thinking it over, Sabo decided not to tell Rudy the news.

One reason is for the need for secrecy.

On the other hand.

If they win this battle, the whole world will be liberated, and people like Rudy will become the main force changing the world. He just needs to wait for that moment.

However, if this battle is lost, then everything will be over, and Rudy and the others will have to do nothing. Although Rudy said that death might be a relief, Sabo believed that living is always better than dying.

Sabo took a deep breath.

So let's go and fight this final battle!

A secluded island in the Paradise.

Two men stood silently facing each other in front of a campfire.

"Hahaha, you heard it too, Dragon said they're ready and about to begin their final battle with Roa,"

Crocodile, the man with slicked-back hair, grinned as he smoked a cigar. "So, Mihawk, what's your final decision?"

"I still have the same question as before,"

The man known as Hawkeye looked at Crocodile with a rather strange expression, "When exactly did you get involved with the Revolutionary Army?"

"Well, we had a complicated past."

Crocodile said calmly.

Say what?

Is it that they went to watch the execution ceremony of Pirate King together, only to be attacked by Roa and his crew and almost killed by an unknown area-of-effect attack? Or is it that they later joined Dragon and his crew to rescue Ivankov's brother in Totto Land, only to almost be killed by the Charlotte Family again?

In short, he actually maintained a personal relationship with Dragon and Ivankov.

More than a year ago, when Dragon began seeking various forces, he contacted Crocodile.

Crocodile didn't respond at the time, but Hawkeye, who had been traveling with him, received an invitation from Straw Hat Shanks.

And this time, Dragon extended an invitation to them once again.

"Snort."

Seeing that Claudio didn't seem inclined to explain the background, Hawkeye gave a soft snort.

Then, he slowly spoke, "I've said it before, I want to truly witness the sword of that monster, Roa, and I'm willing to die at his hands for it!"

"Hahaha! What a stupid thing, courting death!"

Crocodile sneered.

"And what about you, crocodile?"

Hawkeye countered, "What are you going to do?"

"Laozi?"

Crocodile took a satisfying puff of his cigar, then exhaled a thick cloud of smoke. "I've had enough of being a coward. If you want to fight, then let's fight!"

Two years ago, the Paradise was divided up by the monsters around Roa, and the two of them had a hard time.

After all, Crocodile and Hawkeye were people who had helped the World Government fight against the Pirate Alliance in Mary Geoise. They dared not gamble on what would happen if Crocodile came into the Pirate Alliance's sights.

Therefore, they have been traveling around incognito for the past two years.

"Oh?"

Hawkeye raised an eyebrow. "I thought you'd keep hiding forever."

"I've just been waiting for an opportunity."

Crocodile said, "One, the most crucial opportunity!"

Without a doubt, if they miss this opportunity with Dragon and his team, there will never be another chance.

It would be good if Dorago and his group won, but if they also lose, it's clear that for at least several hundred years, there will be no one in this sea who can oppose Roa.

As for whether Roa can live for hundreds of years—isn't that obvious? Imu has lived for eight hundred years; surely Roa, who defeated Imu, wouldn't be able to survive?

"Then it seems,"

Hawkeye smiled, "It'll be a long time before we fight side by side again!"

"Snort."

The underground space of a remote island in the East Blue.

"Is this...?"

Dragon looked up at the enormous thing in front of him, a hint of excitement on his face.

"Hahaha! That's right! This is the pinnacle of my genius's painstaking creation!"

With her slender figure and stunning beauty, it was hard to believe she was Lilith from Vegapunk. She danced excitedly to herself, shouting, "The ultimate strategic weapon, modeled after Uranus!"

"While it may be somewhat inferior to a true Uranus, its superior mobility is its advantage!"

"It can be used on Níðhöggr, and it will definitely have a synergistic effect greater than the sum of its parts!"

"Given the limited materials and funds, and the tight timeframe, only a genius like myself could have accomplished this!"

"That's great!"

Dragon clenched his fist in excitement.

However, Dragon knew in his heart that even with Níðhöggr's superior firepower, it would be difficult for him to defeat Roa.

Roa has the help of a Door-Door Devil Fruit User, allowing him to enter another dimension at any time to escape Níðhöggr's attacks.

Therefore, if you really want to defeat him, someone needs to keep him occupied so he has no time to escape.

It can only be Luffy!

"So, Dragon,"

Lilith looked at Dragon with excitement, "Is it finally time for war?"

"Um."

Dragon nodded heavily.

Within the Revolutionary Army, he only told Ivan and Sabo, among others he trusted most, about this news; he didn't even tell the army commanders.

This was to prevent them from being exposed to Roa.

To be honest, even today, Dragon has some difficulty in determining how many of Roa's men are still lurking within his new Revolutionary Army.

For this reason, he even appeared and disappeared mysteriously for the past two years, basically having no direct contact with his subordinates.

"Very good!!"

Lilith cheered, "Then let's take my weapons and blast that bastard to smithereens! And then rescue my main body and all the other clones!"

"Leave it to us!"

Dragon made a solemn promise.

While the forces in the Dragon were gathering, in the sky over a certain area of East Blue...

Islands float silently here.

Two years ago, the monsters of the pirate alliance divided up the world.

Charlotte Linlin chose the North Blue, Kaido went to the West Blue.

These two sea areas are close to the Calm Belt, and the New World belongs to Katakuri. In any case Calm Belt is no longer a threat at all.

Loki and Teach went to the South Blue, while the Paradise of the first half of the Grand Line and a part of the East Blue were divided up by Doflamingo, Enel, and others.

Most of the East Blue is occupied by the Flying Pirates, led by Golden Lion Shiki.

These islands floating in the sky are the headquarters of the Flying Pirates and the throne of Golden Lion Shiki.

Today, the idle Flying Pirates are still throwing a grand banquet and indulging in revelry.

There was no other way; after all, although Roa didn't manage things, there was one rule: the world had to be kept in a state of chaos.

Even the Golden Lion could not defy Roa's will.

Although he wields supreme power in this sea area, the underlying logic is different.

At that very moment, a dark shadow leaped across the distant sky above these islands like Inazuma.

Even when they were still tens of kilometers apart, the dark figure had already opened its enormous mouth.

"Hold head high!!"

With a thunderous roar, a black beam of light shot out, traversing the sky.

The distance of tens of kilometers was pierced in an instant, and the black beam of light slammed heavily onto the largest and tallest of the floating Sky Island.

The massive island, visible to the naked eye, was pierced through in an instant, and then...

Boom!!!

A pitch-black sun stretched across the sky.

The surrounding islands were also distorted and began to crumble.

Destruction is coming!
