A Breath of Wind! Roger and Olvia!

Above the Flower Capital of Wano Country.

An island is floating here.

In the courtyard in the center of the island, which felt somewhat out of place after its reconstruction.

"No way?"

While enjoying the black aura he hadn't experienced in days, Roa asked in surprise, "Uncle Shiki, are you really planning to go find that the Crimson Count?"

"You're right, kid. To defeat the Roger Pirates, we need even greater power!"

Golden Lion's expression turned grim. "I need someone on par with Rayleigh or Gaban!"

Even experts of the caliber of his three subordinates were no match for him.

No, in fact, even monsters of Roa's or Kaido's caliber wouldn't be enough.

To defeat the Roger Pirates head-on, what's needed are truly top-tier fighters!

Otherwise, Roger will always be one step ahead!

"Redfield is indeed a very suitable candidate."

The Golden Lion's eyes gleamed with greed, like a male lion preparing to hunt—no, male lions don't usually hunt themselves.

Lioness!

"While my strength may not match that of Lao Tzu and Roger, it's certainly no weaker than Rayleigh and Gaban!"

"But Red has always been a loner,"

Roa cautioned, "Getting him to join might not be an easy task."

Although from a game perspective, the Lone Red is essentially the same as Bullet, both appearing to be solitary on the surface but actually yearning for companionship.

But can Uncle Shiki really win Red over with love?

Don't be ridiculous, he's not Roger.

He had no choice but to agree!

Golden Lion sneered, "Do you think he's Roger? Does he have the right to refuse me?"

Sure enough, that's Shiki's style; he really is a pirate version of a domineering CEO.

But I'd also like to say something similar to you, Uncle Shiki.

Do you think you're Captain Rocks? That you can subdue a master of that level with force?

"Red alone isn't enough,"

Golden Lion, unaware of what Roa was thinking, sneered, "What do you think of Ochoku?"

"Ochoku?"

Roa raised an eyebrow. "Uncle Shiki, do you really want to have a class reunion?"

Although he didn't have much screen time in the original work, Ochoku was actually an incredibly strong guy.

The fact that he could occupy Beehive Island undisturbed for so many years speaks volumes about his strength.

Although he lost to Blackbeard in the original work, Blackbeard already possessed two Devil Fruits at that time, won the decisive battle against the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates, and became a new Four Emperors. Moreover, the battle was also disrupted by the Marines represented by Koby and Trafalgar Law.

If Ochoku still possessed such strength more than thirty years later, and has now gradually entered his peak period after six years of development, he should be close to Rayleigh and Gaban, even if he is not as good as them.

"It's all because you, you brat, refused to come to my side!"

The Golden Lion glared fiercely at Roa once again.

Although Roa's strength is still quite far inferior to Rayleigh and Gaban.

However, given his talent, he will likely surpass Rayleigh and Gaban within a few years at most!

Roa chuckled and scratched the back of his head. "Of course I'm always on your side, Uncle Shiki."

After a pause, he added, "As long as the commission is right, I'll support you no matter what kind of opponent you face!"

"Forget it! I don't have that many Mythical Zoan Fruits!"

Golden Lion snorted coldly, unsurprised. "Just watch, Roa! I'm the one who will dominate this sea! Roger and Whitebeard will only ever be my defeated foe!"

"What you're saying is ridiculous. Those two guys aren't even on the same track as you."

Roa sighed with emotion.

If he hadn't been so obsessed with Roger, Uncle Shiki wouldn't have ended up in such a tragic situation as in the original story.

Spending twenty years cultivating a bunch of inexplicable ferocious beasts to destroy Roger's homeland, the East Blue —anyone who doesn't laugh out loud when they hear this plan can truly be diagnosed with Treasure Syndrome.

He could have taken advantage of the fact that Kaido, Linlin, Shanks hadn't fully developed yet, and that Whitebeard wasn't interested in the Great Treasure, to become the second Pirate King.

"Come on!"

With a myriad of thoughts swirling in his mind, Roa finally gave the Golden Lion a thumbs-up, a gesture of encouragement.

Red aside for now, if they were to go after Ochoku, Roa didn't think Ochoku would submit to the Golden Lion, so war would definitely break out.

And war is, of course, a good thing.

The Golden Lion is gone.

He left hastily, filled with anger over the failed operation, resentment towards the traitor Roa, and anticipation for the next plan.

Roa knew that once he began to act, the New World would descend into chaos.

However, after returning to Wano Country, Roa's life did not immediately return to peace.

Morgans kept relaying the latest developments in the North Blue to him. Millions of Flevance, filled with despair and resentment, left their homeland and began their wanderings in the North Blue in waves.

To make matters worse, the World Government then ordered all Affiliated Nation of the North Blue to hunt down all the Flevance immigrants, and all the newspapers were reporting extensively on the horrific infectious disease afflicting the remaining Flevance.

Once they are discovered, regardless of age or gender, they must all be executed immediately.

It must be said that the World Government is indeed ruthless.

They already only had a few years left to live, and now the World Government was taking away even that last bit of time. The Flevance immigrants, who were already filled with hatred for the World Government, went completely insane.

It's important to understand that Flevance is a country that built its wealth on the mining industry, and its population is quite young. Even after removing the elderly, women, and children who are not capable of fighting, there are still nearly a million able-bodied people left.

Now, these people all hate the World Government to the core, and even if only a portion of them are willing to take action, the consequences will be dire.

"Boss! North Blue is in complete chaos!"

Morgans on the other end of the Den Den Mushi sighed, "The Flevance, completely driven mad, are determined to take revenge! It's true, we haven't even done anything yet, and those Affiliated Nation that sent troops to Flevance are already suffering their retaliation."

"Well,"

Hearing this, Roa sighed, "Just how desperate must they be to make such a choice? Let's help them as much as we can; we can't let innocent people suffer any more injustice."

"Boss!"

Morgans' voice suddenly trembled with emotion, "You've really thought so much about them!"

"It's because I'm kind-hearted."

Roa couldn't help but sigh, "I can't stand seeing someone being bullied one-sidedly; I have to help them fight back fiercely."

This time, they're genuinely doing good deeds.

Although he believed the World Government protected world order, Roa often felt that the World Government was indeed superior to him.

"By the way, Boss,"

After the routine exclamation, Morgans' voice became serious again, "The World Government has been keeping the Flevance's actions a secret. No newspaper has dared to report it, and even in the North Blue, only the countries that were attacked know they are planning retaliation."

"Therefore, those among the more rational people of Flevance decided to do something big."

"Oh? How big?"

"Isn't the Reverie about to start?"

"Oh! That's definitely a bit big!!"

The Reverie is held every four years. The World Government invites some kings from the Affiliated Nation to Mary Geoise to summarize the work of the past four years and look forward to the next four years.

As Roa quietly awaited the Big News Morgans, the wind he had stirred was gently blowing across the sea.

A sea area in the New World.

The roar of the heavy cannons gradually subsided, and beneath the billowing smoke, several pirate ships, already blasted to pieces by the heavy artillery, lay in ruins.

On the deck of one of the rickety pirate ships.

Spare me!

The pirate, whose legs had been melted by the lava, lay on the ground, pleading, "Zephyr, the merciful Admiral, please spare my life!"

I know I was wrong. I'll never be a pirate again. Throw me into Impel Down and let me face trial!

He was terrified; he had only been in the New World for a short time when he encountered this naval fleet.

Everyone died, and their deaths were gruesome.

They were killed by artillery shells, bullets, melted by lava, and even had their heads smashed by hard leather shoes.

"Trial?"

Zephyr stood in front of the man, wearing shiny black leather shoes.

His appearance is now vastly different from what it used to be.

The original purple suit was turned black, and the smooth hair was styled with hair wax to stand up, giving it a sharp look. Even the original gold-rimmed glasses were replaced with sunglasses.

"I've always believed that you should indeed be tried, that the law should decide your fate, that the most heinous criminals should be executed, and that those with lesser crimes should be allowed to repent."

Zephyr tilted his head slightly, a hint of melancholy in his voice, "But I've only recently figured out how guys like you can ever repent?"

"When you become pirates, there's only one fate for you!"

Lift your right foot up, then stomp down heavily.

Puff.

Red and white splattered out in a spray.

A hint of pleasure visibly appeared on Zephyr's face. "Teacher Zephyr!"

Behind him, Sakazuki, wearing a navy cap, also looked excited. "Next, who's the target?"

"The reason the New World will be chaotic,"

Zephyr sneered, "It's because there are too many scumbags like Roa! Let's start with that recent guy!"

Beehive Island.

The towering Skull Tower remains almost unchanged from six years ago, and the island's scenery is as beautiful as ever.

Today, however, this beautiful island is shrouded in a huge shadow.

And what cast this shadow was an island floating in the sky.

"Shiki! What do you mean by this?!"

The man stood atop the Skull Tower, shouting at the man floating in the sky, "Want to fight me for Beehive Island?"

"If I had this interest, would you have been able to occupy this place six years ago?"

In the sky, the Golden Lion laughed loudly, "Ochoku, what's the point of hiding on this island all this time? Are you reminiscing about the days of the Rocks Pirates?"

Ochoku frowned deeply. "I'm not in the mood to waste words with you. What exactly do you mean?"

"I need your strength! Become my right-hand man, Ochoku!"

Golden Lion extended his hand, just as he had invited Roger before, excitedly extending an invitation to Ochoku, "Let's, just like we did back in the Rocks Pirates, turn this New World upside down!"

Well, Roger and Roger could turn the world upside down, but Ochoku could only manage a little more in the New World.

Golden Lion thought, "I'll just have to make do with it."

But.

Are you kidding me?

Ochoku's cold laugh reached the Golden Lion's ears, "Shiki, who do you think you are, thinking you're Rocks?"

The Golden Lion's face instantly darkened. "You're going to refuse me too? You dare refuse me?"

In the West Blue, a massive pirate ship slowly docked at the shore of an island.

"Hahaha! We've finally arrived!"

Roger eagerly jumped off the bow of the ship, tilting his head back excitedly and shouting in amazement, "What a huge tree! It reminds me of Adam Tree in Elbaf!"

In the center of this island grows a colossal tree, its dense canopy almost completely blocking out the sky.

"That must be the Tree of Knowledge of Ohara, right?"

The well-informed Rayleigh adjusted his glasses. "It's said to have started growing thousands of years ago and is the world's largest library."

"Wow! That sounds amazing!"

Roger nodded. "But the most important thing now is to find an archaeologist who can decipher Ancient Script!"

You mean Ancient Script?

A startled voice suddenly came from the side.

Roger instinctively turned his head.

In the woods not far away, a white-haired woman holding a gun emerged from behind a large tree, observing them. A target was hanging on a tree trunk not far behind her; she seemed to be practicing her shooting.

"Wait! You are a..."

Upon seeing Roger's face clearly, the woman instantly paled. "Goldo Roger?"

How could the world's most famous, highest-bounty, and supposedly strongest and most powerful pirate be here?!

"It's Gore D. Roger!"

Roger chuckled as he corrected the woman, then asked with a smile, "Do you know where the archaeologists on this island are? I'm looking for someone to help me decipher the entire historical text."

"Hey, you can't just say things like that directly, Roger."

Rayleigh spoke with a hint of helplessness.

Studying Poneglyph is a serious crime.

Surely the first person we meet on this island can't be a historian who can decipher the entire historical text, can he?

"You know, the complete historical text?"

The woman's eyes lit up instantly.

Um?

Rayleigh one.

No way?

Later, on Roger Pirates.

The white-haired woman, her cheeks flushed with excitement as she looked at a stack of rubbings, exclaimed, "Captain Roger, you actually have over a thousand rubbings of the entire historical text?"

"Hahaha, I never expected you could actually decipher Ancient Script!"

Roger was equally excited.

You've come to the right place!

"You said you're practicing shooting so you can go to sea and find Poneglyph in the future, then..."

Roger solemnly said, "Come sail with us! We'll search for the other complete historical texts, the road sign texts, and then head to the Laugh Tale to unravel the secrets of World One-Five!"

"Come sail with us, Olvia! This is my lifelong request!"

A white-haired woman, Nicole Olvia looks radiant.
