A Gift from the Heavens! Face-to-Face with the Roger Pirates
A huge island hovers in the sky somewhere.
Below, on the sea, lies a small, deserted island made up of bare rocks.
What do you think of this island?
The Golden Lion floated in the sky, surveying the island as it asked questions.
Roa stood atop the highest peak in the center of the small island below, and all he could see were strange rocks.
"I think Roger would like it as a gift, right? Plus, it's environmentally friendly."
I agree.
The Golden Lion slowly landed on the island, bent down, and gently wiped the ground with its hand. "Then, this is it."
Boom!
The entire island began to shake violently, and the sea around it surged with huge waves.
Amidst the earth-shaking tremors, this stone island was forcibly lifted from the sea by an invisible force.
All that remained was a huge crater, through which seawater surged and poured in.
"No matter how many times I watch it, I can only sincerely exclaim, it's truly exaggerated."
Roa exclaimed in admiration, "Uncle Shiki, this is the real natural disaster!"
If this island were to fall from the sky, it would be far more impressive than my petty meteorites.
"Enough talk, let's go. Don't keep Roger waiting!"
The Golden Lion flew straight into the sky, and the stone island also rose slowly into the air.
As Roa watched the Golden Lion's retreating figure, his astonishment was genuine.
Simply dropping massive islands from the sky would be enough to cause true cataclysmic destruction.
Who is the true force capable of destroying the world?

Fortunately, this ability isn't very effective at single-target damage; against truly skilled opponents, even Golden Lion needs to rely on swordsmanship.
At the edge of the floating Sky Island in the sky, Roa's subordinates watched in disbelief as the Golden Lion brought back another island in just a few minutes, their hearts pounding with excitement.
This is the power of the strongest warriors on the high seas!
"The gift is ready."
The Golden Lion waved its hand, and both islands simultaneously began to drift forward. "It's time for a visit!"
Roa's eyes flickered; it was time to discuss with his subordinates how to plan and execute this battle.
The New World, Night, Breno Island.
This island is a deserted island. There used to be a country on the island, but decades ago, that unnoticed non- Affiliated Nation was destroyed in an internal conflict, and the remaining citizens have long since moved away.
All that remains is ruins. Because no one has taken care of it, the entire island is overgrown with weeds and vines, and there is no trace of human life to be seen.
But at this moment, in the center of this island, which should have been deserted, a group of people were walking through the dark, dense forest.
"Damn it! It's the intelligence Poneglyph again!"
The man, wearing a captain's hat and sporting a mustache, angrily pushed aside the vines blocking his path. "Where are all the red road signs hidden?! I can't find a single one!"
"Ultimately, Roger, does the red stone really exist?"
The man with long black hair tied in a ponytail and wearing small sunglasses, the third-ranking member of the Roger Pirates, who considered himself the second-ranking member, Skebba Gaban, casually remarked, "After searching for so many years, we still haven't found a single clue."
In this day and age, the Great Treasure is still just a vague legend, and few people in the entire ocean believe in it.
Not to mention the rumor that finding all four stones would lead to the Laugh Tale, a rumor that almost no one even knows about.
It definitely exists!
Roger didn't turn his head, but answered decisively, "Although I can't understand it, I can hear it."
Those stones all record something amazing!
"Long ago, whoever left those stones must have been waiting for someone to unlock the secret! So, naturally, they would have left clues leading to their final destination!"
"If the captain says it exists, then it must exist!"
The Shanks boy carrying a Straw Hat, who was following behind Roger, said with a smile.
"That's right!"
Roger turned around, ruffled the boy's hair, and laughed as he said, "Just follow behind me, boys!"
"Wow, this guy is incredibly autocratic!"
Gaban said with obvious disdain.
"Haha, so this is Roger."
The number two, Rayleigh, chuckled and pushed up his glasses. "What can we do? We've got a captain like this on our team."
"That's true,"
Gaban sighed, "I should have gotten used to it a long time ago."
"Now is not the time for idle chatter!"
Another boy on the boat, with blue hair and Red Nose, said somewhat frantically, "Isn't Garp chasing us? We can't waste any more time!"
"Buggy's still such a coward, don't worry."
Shanks, his good friend, smiled reassuringly and said, "It'll be alright."
"Who are you calling a coward, you Shanks?!"
Buggy grabbed Shanks and shook him violently.
His angry outburst did nothing to anger Shanks; the Shanks boy simply thought Buggy was playing a prank on him and responded with a laugh.
Buggy was still completely unaware that if the captain hadn't been unwilling to let Uncle Rayleigh and Uncle Gaban participate in his duel with Garp, the fleet led by that Marine Hero wouldn't have been a problem at all.
Although we always ended up fleeing in defeat, we never suffered any losses.
Shanks smiled.
He always felt that the relationship between the captain and the Garp the Hero was subtle, and they didn't seem like true enemies at all.
"Since Buggy is in such a hurry,"
Roger didn't mind the children's roughhousing. He smiled and raised his right arm, "Although we returned empty-handed, we still worked hard! Let's go back and have a feast!"
"Oh!!"
Laughter echoed through the dark, dense forest.
However, in the next instant, Roger's expression changed drastically.
He raised his head in surprise, his eyes flashing with intense red electricity.
Roger leaped into the air in an instant, shouting, "Rayleigh! Gaban!"
His left and right hands, Rayleigh and Gaban, also had red lights flashing in their eyes, and they were also launched into the air.
"Talk! What happened to the captain and the others?"
Buggy looked completely bewildered.
How did it suddenly fly into the sky?
"There seems to be trouble!"
Shanks looked up at the sky, unable to see anything through the thick clouds, but—
In mid-air.
"Garp didn't come, but an even more troublesome guy showed up instead!"
As he pulled the double axes from his lower back, Gaban cursed irritably, "Couldn't that bastard have toned down his entrance a bit?"
"Good idea! Don't forget to tell him to be more careful next time!"
Rayleigh had already drawn the sword from his waist.
"Next time? You want a next time?"
Gaban roared, "This time, we'll chop off his cat head!"
"That's no easy feat! He didn't come alone!"
Roger looked up at the sky, "They're here!"
The thick clouds in the sky were suddenly torn apart, and the enormous object plummeted to the ground.
"Ah!!"
Buggy's tongue and eyeballs flew off his face together; the tongue became wavy, and the eyeballs trembled. "What is that?!"
It looks like an island.
Shanks also tilted his head back, then said with certainty.
"Who can't see it!"
Buggy clutched his head in his hands, "Why did an island fall from the sky?! We're doomed! We're going to be smashed into mincemeat!"
"Buggy, what a coward."
Shanks chuckled and repeated his earlier assessment, "The captain and the others have already gone to engage them."
"Yes, Captain!"
Buggy immediately screamed at the top of his lungs, "Help, Captain!"
"Buggy's calling for help, Roger."
Rayleigh smiled.
"Don't scare the child! Smash it!"
Roger's hand suddenly gripped the hilt of the sword at his waist.
An unprecedentedly terrifying Haki Inazuma rose up, and at the same time, Rayleigh and Gaban also raised their swords and axes, their axes also crackling with Haki Inazuma.
"Drink!"
The three of them shouted at the same time, and their weapons came crashing down simultaneously.
Boom!!
The air seemed to emit a mournful cry of unbearable pressure.
The three terrifying forces converged into one, instantly transforming into an all-consuming beam of light that surged upwards to meet the crashing island.
The sky was instantly illuminated, and the dark forest below was suddenly as bright as day.
Wow!
Buggy even covered his eyes because the light was too bright.
Boom!
That's the sound of an island crumbling.
Even an island falling from the sky thousands of meters high was no match for the combined attack of the three monsters; it was blasted to pieces in the blink of an eye.
The light gradually faded, and the clouds in the sky were completely cleared away.
Roger the dog-man landed on the treetops of the large dog tree, and they all looked up at the sky.
High, high in the sky, floats an even larger island.
"Hahahaha!"
Accompanied by wild laughter, a ship slowly descended from the sky. A man stood at the bow, a cigar dangling from his lips, looking down at Roger.
"Roger, how long has it been? Do you like the gift I carefully selected for you?"
"Golden Lion!"
Roger smirked, "You rascal—hmm?"
He paused for a moment.
Because he noticed the boy standing next to Shiki.
Isn't that the kid who caused such a stir at the sea not long ago?
"Yo, nice to meet you, Roger."
Roa politely waved to the future Pirate King and said, "Please continue to teach me how to be a good friend."
"Hahaha! I mentioned wanting to meet you before, but kid, you've come at a really bad time."
Although his timing was off, Roger's smile remained undiminished.
Then it's -
Roger!!
On the other side of the Golden Lion, an incredibly tall and robust man was also roaring excitedly.
"Calamity Roa, Kaido of the Beasts,"
Rayleigh's expression turned slightly serious. "And Golden Lion? What, are the remnants of the Rocks Pirates having a class reunion here?"
Is the Rocks Pirates really going to be resurrected?
No one knew better than the Roger Pirates just how formidable the Rocks Pirates were back then.
"In that case, we won't bother you any longer."
Gaban immediately chimed in, saying seriously, "We seem to have gone into the wrong room. Hey, Roger, hurry up and give this room to them; they're probably in a hurry to throw a party."
The enemy seems to have a pretty strong lineup.
"Hahahaha!"
The Golden Lion's laughter echoed through the night sky, completely ignoring Rayleigh and Jabba, staring intently at Roger. "Now, let's have a proper chat!"
Roa shook his head. "The rules of the martial world are the rules of the martial world. You have to talk before you fight."
But what's there to talk about?
In the end, we'll still have to fight.
