Roger is the Ultimate Villain

In the year 1497 of the Sea Calendar, February.

The entire sea was as turbulent as ever.

The strong preyed on the weak, and killing, injuring, and plundering were staged daily.

The fate of a vast kingdom could perhaps be ended by a single pirate crew.

Individual strength was one of the factors causing the collapse of order in this world.

Ten thousand meters above the sky, on God Island Apis.

In a lush forest, the vegetation was dense and extremely resilient. The thickest trees required over thirty people holding hands to circle, and due to the environment, their hardness was like iron.

Boom, boom, boom~

The entire jungle suddenly trembled. In the distance, a golden mountain, fifty meters high, rose and fell. Just looking at it was enough to make one's heart tremble with fear.

On the palace plaza, Gan Fall gazed in the direction of the golden mountain.

At this moment, his old face showed no surprise, and his eyes were filled with admiration.

"998."

"999."

"1000."

At the foot of the golden mountain, Chaos was doing push-ups with his upper body bare. Sweat drenched his body, and his firm, powerful muscles bulged with veins, especially around his neck where blood vessels protruded, making him look extremely ferocious.

Bang!

Chaos threw the golden mountain down onto the ground, causing the surrounding mountains to tremble!

Lying on the ground, he caught his breath. Chaos's damp, messy hair fell onto his head. He was utterly exhausted!

Just then, birds and beasts in the distance took flight, breaking and crushing large patches of grass and vegetation as if some ancient beast was stampeding. It was indeed a fierce beast.

Crack!

A giant tree snapped and crashed down. A terrifyingly huge snake head emerged from the forest, at least the size of a house!

Following the snake's head down, its body stretched into the forest, seemingly without end. If it were lying still, one might mistake it for a small mountain range; its size was frighteningly enormous.

Hiss, hiss!

This colossal serpent slithered before Chaos, its upper body rising to block the sun. Its blood-red eyes held not the expected coldness, but a hint of fawning, even fear.

That's right, this giant snake was the Sky Lord, Nolan Python, from 20 years in the future. Luffy and the others, mistaking its mouth for a cave, had entered and brought out gold worth 300 million Beli.

Seven months ago, when Chaos first arrived on Sky Island, he had subdued Gan Fall and the others with overwhelming strength.

Chaos did not claim kingship or try to overthrow Gan Fall to become God himself.

This small territory was something only Enel would consider the entire world. Chaos didn't have the time to be the god of a tiny island; if he were to be a god, it would be of the great sea below.

Sky Island was, at most, a place for him to rest. If he were to establish a force in the future, it might become a second base.

Now, with just a word from Chaos, Gan Fall still dared not disobey and could only obediently and respectfully carry out Chaos's commands, though the residents of Sky Island were unaware.

All the priests and warriors on God Island had tacitly accepted this.

Fortunately, Chaos had no excessive demands, only asking for some food!

He had not acted recklessly or slaughtered innocents on Sky Island. For a full seven months, it had been nothing but training.

And Nolan, this giant snake, was encountered by Chaos for the first time seven months ago. Chaos had almost roasted it, but at the critical moment, Gan Fall pleaded for mercy, and Nolan itself begged pitifully. Only then did Chaos mercifully spare it.

Since then, Nolan had become Chaos's little follower, just like Little Tiger, Little Lion, and Little Jaw, occasionally accompanying Chaos during his training.

"Help me practice a new move!"

Chaos stood up and stretched, his damp hair now longer, looking messy and unkempt.

He didn't know how long it had been since he last cut his hair, rarely even descending from God Island.

He reached out his right hand towards the golden mountain, and a fifth of the gold separated, floating in mid-air. As Chaos clenched his fist, it exploded like fireworks, instantly scattering a large area of golden powder, dyeing the surroundings gold!

Nolan, with an innocent expression, was drenched like a drowned chicken, its body covered in gold powder. But strangely, the gold powder silently merged into its body.

Before Nolan could react, its massive body began to fly uncontrollably.

Nolan panicked at this, its giant head showing a flustered expression as it roared at Chaos.

But Chaos ignored it. With continuous movements of his hands, Nolan's massive body began to twist into various shapes in the air—ABCDYFJ, as well as hearts, bows, and more!

Now, whether Nolan was flat or round depended entirely on Chaos.

After playing for more than ten minutes, Nolan crashed to the ground with a tremor. Shaking its huge head, it complained to Chaos, having been thoroughly tormented just now, almost breaking its back.

But Chaos ignored it again. He was now pinching his chin, looking up at the sky. Dense golden powder formed the words "Golden Emperor" in the sky. They would explode and then reform into various characters, even pictures!

Divine Control, this was the name Chaos had given to this technique.

It was a copy of Gild Tesoro's "Golden Splash," turning gold into powder, integrating it into living beings, and then controlling the gold powder to manipulate the creatures.

It was just like Doflamingo's Parasite String!

"Sigh!"

Chaos couldn't help but sigh. In these past seven months, whether it was the Gold-Gold Fruit, Rokushiki, or the two types of Haki, he had grown significantly stronger!

However, the Gold-Gold Fruit had ultimately not reached awakening, nor had Life Return.

He had initially planned to train for five months, but in the blink of an eye, it had become seven.

Chaos always felt that time passed incredibly quickly, perhaps because he was so engrossed in his training!

Unknowingly, he had been in this world for four years, plus two months.

It was a long time.

It was about time to leave Sky Island and seek trouble.

How else could he improve his combat power faster?

How else could he make the whole world know the name of the Golden Emperor?

At the same time, Chaos saw the words Roger had carved on the Golden Bell, and he also learned from Gan Fall that the Roger Pirates had left only a few months before he arrived.

He hadn't reached Demon Valley Town at that time; if he had arrived a few months earlier, he might have met them.

In Chaos's opinion, Roger was not a good person at all, just as the Marines said, a pirate of immense evil.

No matter how corrupt the World Government's rule was, it at least maintained a certain order.

From a broad perspective, the existence of the World Government was necessary and important.

But after Roger ushered in the Great Pirate Era, pirates increased exponentially worldwide, causing countless widows and orphans, arson, murder, looting, and rivers of blood.

And this situation had lasted for over 20 years.

Regardless of Roger's starting point or intentions, whether good or bad, for the next 20-plus years, he was absolutely guilty of heinous crimes.

The innocent civilians who died because of him were in the tens of millions, even hundreds of millions.

Chaos was actually looking forward to meeting this ruthless man.

"Golden Emperor, it's time for your meal!"

A team of warriors pushed three large carts of food from a distance. Their practiced movements clearly showed they had done this often over the past seven months, arriving precisely on time.

The happiest was Nolan. The previously wronged snake face instantly lit up with joy. It opened its mouth and dripped saliva, even corroding the ground.

It clearly contained a potent poison.

Too excited, the venom couldn't be contained.

After all, one of the carts was for him, though it was only enough to whet his appetite!

"En!"

Chaos nodded and turned to sit cross-legged on the ground to enjoy his meal.

There were various meat legs, fruits, vegetables, and drinks—very comprehensive!

"Little guy, I'm leaving tomorrow."

Chaos gnawed on a meat leg, a bone and all, and looked at Nolan as he chewed.

Nolan, who had been happily enjoying his portion, propped up his head and blinked his eyes, looking even happier.

This beast is finally leaving.

"You seem very happy!"

Chaos narrowed his eyes. He thought they had become friends, having spent seven months together.

Shouldn't there be some reluctance?

Why was this fellow practically wishing him gone?

"Hiss hiss hiss!"

That night, Chaos gave Nolan a lesson, a very passionate and warm one!!
