The Wailing Ghost Chinjao! Hasshoken! Jade Ice Mountain

It wouldn't hurt to go to the West Blue.

Since I have nothing to do lately, I'll just treat this as a vacation.

With that thought in mind, Roa hung up the phone with Morgans.

Below, the Mercury Giant flicked his right hand, and silver mercury shot out like a giant snake, piercing directly into the large hole made by the Chinjao and pulling the Chinjao out.

The supreme commander of the Eight Treasures Navy had already fainted, his head bleeding profusely, the blood almost obscuring his face. However, the most significant change was that his proud, pointed head had been dented by Bullet's punch.

Looking at the bald head that had gone from a cone shape to resemble a hard-boiled egg, Roa couldn't help but sigh. Fate had struck again.

"Pops!!"

The Eight Treasures Navy, who had come with Chinjao, were already disoriented because of Chinjao's defeat. Now, seeing Chinjao captured by Bullet, they rushed towards the Mercury Giant without thinking, wanting to save Chinjao.

Then.

"Ants, just lie obediently on the ground!"

A violent aura roared from the Mercury Giant, instantly engulfing the entire Eight Treasures Navy.

Almost instantly, the vast majority of the Eight Treasures Navy had already fainted.

Only the son of the leader, who was also Chinjao, swayed, took two steps forward, and then collapsed weakly to his knees.

Hateful!

Why am I so weak!

This man had never hated his own weakness as much as he did now.

All I could do was watch helplessly as my Pops was defeated and captured!

"Boss, it's solved."

The Mercury Giant turned around and handed the Chinjao in his hand to Roa.

"Well done, Bullet."

Roa praised.

Bullet's current strength is probably not much weaker than Skullcrusher Hyde, the strongest of the three executives and Shiki's right-hand man.

Of course, Abel, who has maintained a 50/50 balance with Bullet ever since eating the Tengu Fruit, is also at about the same level.

Compared to them, Dylan's strength has improved very little. After all, he is not young anymore, and his potential has long been exhausted. Even though he has mastered advanced Armament Haki and obtained Ancient Zoan Devil Fruit, his strength can only be said to be barely on the edge of the Disaster level, probably about the same as the future Jack the Drought.

"It's what I should do!"

As the most loyal soldier under the Demon Lord Roa, Bullet, who is usually serious and never smiles, couldn't help but smile slightly after receiving the praise.

The boss's praise was like a medal he had longed for as a child.

However, the 100-meter-tall Mercury Giant's strange smile was still quite frightening.

Roa glanced at the Chinjao in the Mercury Giant's hand, thought for a moment, and said, "Wake him up."

"Yes, Boss!"

Bullet didn't hesitate at all; mercury vapor rose from his silvery palm.

"Wow!"

The green Chinjao, who had been dizzy, was instantly jolted awake by the terrifying pain brought on by the extreme heat, and he almost jumped off Bullet's hand.

Bullet made no response.

Does Chinjao even think he can act recklessly in front of the Boss?

Watching the Chinjao leap ten meters high, Roa wondered, how could he control this guy? He was, after all, someone who used Conqueror's Haki; the ability to manipulate emotions might not be effective against him.

My head!!

In mid-air, Chinjao screamed at the top of her lungs.

The excruciating pain from the mercury vapor was now completely ignored; Chinjao clutched her head and screamed in disbelief, "My pointed tip is gone!"

Roa narrowed his eyes.

Could it be that...?

The black and white in his eyes instantly reversed.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it, you damn bastard! What did you do to my head?!"

Despite being severely injured and already possessing considerable strength to move, Chinjao, with bloodshot eyes, charged straight at the Mercury Giant, shouting, "I'll blast you apart!"

Blackness was rapidly spreading in his eyes.

Oh my, Hao Lie is also a user of Conqueror's Haki. I can tell. He's really proud of his pointed head, so he's really angry now.

Well then, I'm sorry.

"Forehead--"

Chinjao's roar abruptly ceased. He slumped onto the Mercury Giant's arm, rolled twice, and then crashed to the ground, causing the already shattered ground beneath Bullet's weight to tremble slightly.

"Pops!"

The son, Chinjao on the ground, watched helplessly as his Pops plummeted from the sky, overwhelmed with grief.

He didn't know exactly what had happened, only that his Pops, who had suddenly woken up, wanted to continue fighting, but his injuries were too severe and he collapsed again.

The grief in my heart was naturally indescribable.

But the next moment, while tears were still welling up in his eyes, his eyes suddenly widened.

Because he saw that his old father had actually stood up again, swaying slightly, but he was looking up at someone without moving.

"Pops?"

Chinjao's son unconsciously swallowed.

The joy in my heart vanished in an instant.

Something's not right.

Whoosh!

A figure landed lightly in the sky.

Roa looked at the Chinjao in front of him with surprise, "Incredible! The strongest Wailing Ghost in the history of the entire universe has been born!"

I'm probably the only person in the entire universe who possesses this ability.

That's not bragging!

The fact that it's a disaster-level ghost tent is worth the price of admission.

"Pops?"

Chinjao's son was worried. "What's wrong? What's wrong with Pops?"

"Stop shouting,"

Roa smiled and looked at him, "He can only hear my voice now."

Look, kneel down.

At his command, without any hesitation, Chinjao, disregarding his injuries, knelt upright before Roa.

Chinjao's son's eyes widened in fury. Pops so arrogant, so powerful!!

"What exactly did you do to Pops?"

Looking at the man whose anger was like a raging flood, Roa narrowed his eyes. "Don't make me sound like some kind of villain."

Let's get this straight: didn't you come looking for trouble on your own initiative?

"Never mind, you don't want your Pops to die, do you?"

Version T0 is back after a year!

Later, in Umit's office building.

"This place is really nice, Umit."

Roa sat leisurely in his office chair, turning around to see the large floor-to-ceiling windows offering a panoramic view of the entire harbor.

"If you like, this room will be your private room."

Umit, who was standing respectfully in front of the desk, quickly spoke, his face full of eagerness.

"No need,"

Roa waved his hand, "I hate work, the view from the office is enough for me."

That's why they need so many ministers to delegate all the specific tasks.

Even the overall coordination was handled by Judge, who found some professionals from the Germa Kingdom to take care of it.

How's business lately?

However, as the boss, Roa occasionally checks on the company's operations.

"Thanks to you, with the installation of Seastone on the hulls of more and more ships, the Calm Belt are becoming less and less of an obstacle to transportation."

Umit respectfully stated, "As for the North Blue and West Blue, which are adjacent to the New World, transportation efficiency has more than doubled, and there has also been a significant improvement in the East Blue and South Blue."

"Very good!"

Roa was very satisfied.

It was worth sending most of the Seastone here.

"However, I was quite disappointed when I first found out that you also use ships for transportation."

"I can't help but sigh, "Roa said.

Why would you think that?

Umit was somewhat puzzled. "Transportation? If not by sea, what do we rely on?"

"You are called the Deep Current,"

Roa casually remarked, "But isn't the deep sea riddled with all sorts of currents? I thought you relied on those fixed currents for transportation."

"Current?"

Umit paused for a moment, then smiled wryly and said, "Boss, that's just a nickname. Utilizing deep-sea currents... I think only Fish-Man can do that—"

His words abruptly stopped.

Roa also suddenly turned around to look at him.

"Boss!"

Umit's voice suddenly became excited, "You're a genius!"

His experience with the attack by the Chinjao taught him that no matter how well-hidden the flight path, it could still be detected by the enemy.

However, if it really is through the undersea tunnel, the situation is quite different!

Roa stroked his chin. "Looks like we'll have to go to Fish-Man Island again."

Speaking of which, Fish-Man can also tame sea creatures.

A few days later, the Calm Belt between the New World and the West Blue...

The swarm of snails rumbled and surged forward in a mighty wave across this sea.

Thanks to the Seastone embedded in the snail's belly, even while sailing so confidently in the Calm Belt, it did not encounter any attacks from Sea Beast, and the seas were much calmer than when it returned to the New World from the North Blue more than a year ago.

At this moment, Roa stood on the edge of a platform on the back of a snail, his fists clenched with a solemn expression.

Then, he slowly pushed his fist out.

Buzz!

A powerful shockwave suddenly erupted from Roa's fist, instantly shooting dozens of meters away and creating a giant wave on the sea below.

"As expected of the Boss! He's already mastered it?"

Behind Roa, Dylan clapped.

"It's not that difficult."

Without turning his head, Roa simply withdrew his fist, and wave after wave of air emanated from Roa.

It made a muffled popping sound.

This is not a shockwave of Haki released by flowing Armament Haki.

Instead, it's the Hasshoken!

The Eight Treasures Navy's secret martial arts technique Hasshoken, which can unleash shockwaves that can easily pierce shields and block swords.

Using the Great Threat Technique, Roa easily obtained the training method for the Hasshoken from Chinjao's son.

Roa was quite interested in this kind of physical skill.

Just as he said, it wasn't as difficult as he had imagined.

It took Roa a few days to master the move.

"Not bad."

Roa nodded.

It is indeed a pretty good martial art.

It is well-rounded in both offense and defense, making it quite versatile.

While advanced Armament Haki can do everything that the Hasshoken can, the power that Haki can unleash is far greater than that of the Hasshoken when consuming the same amount of physical strength.

However, its advantage lies in the fact that it can be used in conjunction with Haki. Even if it doesn't double the output while consuming two units of stamina, the boost is still decent.

"They should be very useful to Bullet and Abel."

Roa gave his final assessment.

This technique was extremely powerful for Bullet and Abel, whose Armament Haki was still in the hardening stage.

When used simultaneously, it can basically be considered a substitute for the external application of Armament Haki, enough to further enhance the strength of Bullet and Abel. In no time, the Snail Fleet had already rumbled out of the Calm Belt and officially entered the West Blue.

The next place is the Jade Ice Mountain!

The treasures looted by the pillars of the Eight Treasures Navy throughout history are all buried here!

The other naval forces that are on par with the Eight Treasures Navy will also appear here.

Well, having learned from the experience of our last trip to the North Blue, we've already prepared navigators in the fleet this time.

So even in the West Blue where you can't use a pointer to navigate, you can still sail smoothly to a building on the snail's back; this is the prison of the Germa Kingdom.

It's very small, because the country doesn't have a large need for prisons. After all, anyone who dares to disobey the king's orders is usually executed on the spot.

Meanwhile, a man was imprisoned in the jail.

Chinjao's son clutched his hair in anguish.

Not long ago, a monster named Roa used his Pops's life to force him to reveal the training method of the Hasshoken.

The fact that the secret techniques of the Eight Treasures Navy, passed down for hundreds of years, were exposed was actually not the most painful thing for him.

What tormented him most was that Roa also asked him to communicate with the Eight Treasures Navy and several other naval forces.

They said they had failed in the New World, and now the enemy was coming to the West Blue to strike at their heart. They ordered all the naval forces to gather and prepare to fight the powerful foe.

That guy wants to wipe out all the online trolls in one fell swoop!

Chinjao's son knew this very well.

But for his Pops's life, he dared not refuse. Besides, if even gathering all his strength couldn't defeat Roa, then what he did would be meaningless, wouldn't it?

"Pops -.-"

Chinjao's helpless son covered his face, tears seeping through his fingers, "I can't do anything..."

West Blue, a small island outside the Flower Country.

This is the headquarters of the Eight Treasures Navy.

Today, the island has become somewhat chaotic.

The news that suddenly came from the New World caught everyone off guard.

At this time, the pillars of several other naval forces that shared the same spirit as the Eight Treasures Navy had already gathered here.

Also arriving was the King of the Flower Country, who had been secretly supporting these pirates.

"What exactly happened?"

Inside the wooden hall, the pillar of Two Treasures Navy exclaimed in disbelief, "That guy Chinjao actually got arrested! Is the news really true?"

"It's definitely true; it was the information that Chinjao's son revealed over the phone!"

Another key member of the naval force gritted his teeth, "Chinjao is certainly strong, but he's not invincible in the New World! The enemy is a big shot in the New World's Underworld, and those weapons were his doing!"

According to Chinjao's son, the enemy has their eyes on the treasure hidden in the Jade Ice Mountain and is heading there!

We must take action!

The King of the Flower Country slammed his fist on the table, "Not only must we rescue Chinjao, but we must also eliminate the enemy! We can't let those weapons continue to proliferate in the surrounding seas!"

These eight naval forces cannot be openly displayed; otherwise, the Flower Country, as Affiliated Nation of the government, would inevitably be subject to naval investigation.

Therefore, those weapons that could pose a threat to the Flower Country must be eliminated.

"Good!"

The pillars of society nodded in unison.

"The decisive battle will take place at,"

"Jade Ice Mountain!"
