Roy opened his eyes and took a roll of yellowed blueprints from the drawer.
Pluton Blueprints.
This diagram was obtained from Master Tom years ago. It details the construction principles, power system, weapon configuration, and armor layout of the Ancient Weapon Pluton.
Tom is the world's top shipbuilding master. With him and these blueprints, it is theoretically possible to replicate the Pluton Battleship.
But there will always be a chasm between theory and reality.
The design principles of Pluton involve too many ancient technologies, and even Tom couldn't understand the manufacturing processes of some key components.
Blueprints alone are not enough; you need a physical reference.
The physical artifact of Pluton is hidden in Wano Country.
Roy stood up, took the Black Blade Shusui from the wall, and hung it at his waist.
He pushed open the door and called out towards the end of the corridor, " Tesoro!"
A moment later,
A bolt of lightning flashed from the end of the corridor, and Tesoro's figure materialized within the lightning.
He was holding a financial report in his hand, with a standard businessman's smile on his face.
"Boss, what's up?"
I'm going to Wano Country.
If anyone asks, just tell them the truth.
Tesoro's smile froze on his face.
"Boss!"
"You've only been back for less than half a day! You haven't even had a chance to sit down properly!"
It's urgent.
Roy patted him on the shoulder, his tone as casual as if he were going to visit the neighbors.
" Ark Maxim for me to be on standby at any time."
"I'm going alone this time, no need for anyone."
Tesoro opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end he swallowed his words back.
Having been by Roy's side for so many years, he had long since learned to discern when Roy was discussing things and when he was giving orders.
That tone just now was commanding.
"Alright."
"But as always—bring your Den Den Mushi) with you; contact us anytime if needed."
"Knew."
Roy walked into the communications room, picked up the encrypted Den Den Mushi, and dialed the dedicated line to Wano Country.
After five rings, the Den Den Mushi was connected.
Kaido's gruff voice came from the other end, accompanied by the noise of a banquet and the clinking of glasses, making the Den Den Mushi's eyes tremble.
"Hehehe! Roy! What made you suddenly decide to call me, you little rascal!"
" Kaido, I need to speak with you."
Roy skipped the pleasantries and got straight to the point.
"I will arrive in Wano Country in three days. I have important matters to discuss."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.
Kaido's laughter subsided slightly, and his tone became more serious:
"What can't be said over the phone?"
"Event."
Roy only said two words.
Kaido two seconds, then burst into laughter again, this time even more unrestrained than before.
"Hehehehe! Fine! I'll be waiting for you on Onigashima!"
After hanging up the phone, Roy walked out of the communications room.
Outside the window at the end of the corridor, the night on Hachinosu was deep in darkness.
The lights were still on in the direction of the training field; Hawk Eyes was giving Kuina nighttime intensive training.
The lights in the commercial street gradually went out, while the lighthouse in the direction of the harbor continued to rotate its beam, casting golden spots of light on the sea.
Roy gazed at the night view outside the window, his fingers unconsciously tapping the hilt of his knife.
The Pluton Battleship.
One of the Three Ancient Weapons, the ultimate weapon capable of destroying an island with a single shot.
In the original work, this warship's existence runs throughout the entire plot, but it is never truly awakened.
Now he has blueprints, Tom, and intelligence on the location of the physical hiding place.
Only one final step remains—to dig the actual artifact out of Wano Country.
He will complete this step in three days.
Three days later, in Wano Country,
Roy floated above Wano Country, looking down at the polluted and scarred land below.
Thick smoke billowed from dozens of huge chimneys, turning the sky gray-black.
The water in the river had an abnormal dark green color, and various industrial wastes were floating on the surface.
The sound of forging hammers from the arsenal could be heard from a great distance; the rumbling muffled sounds were like the lament of this land.
Roy shook his head.
When he partnered with Kaido to develop Seastone, he clearly provided a sustainable development plan.
Wastewater treatment, exhaust gas filtration, and mine backfilling—the whole set of technologies was delivered to you in a package.
Hachinosu's own Seastone processing plant operates according to this plan, with high production efficiency and no environmental damage.
But Kaido, that reckless brute, clearly didn't take it seriously at all.
The plan was left to gather dust in a drawer, while the factory operated at full speed, pursuing output regardless of the consequences.
Over the years, the once scenic Wano Country has been transformed into a massive industrial wasteland.
However, that's definitely Kaido's style.
What he wanted were weapons, troops, and war machines capable of waging a world war.
He didn't care at all whether the land of Wano Country would be polluted or whether the people would suffer.
Roy looked away.
He is not the savior of Wano Country, nor does he want to be.
As long as Kaido supplies Seastone on time, the alliance between Hachinosu and the Beasts Pirates will remain rock solid.
As for the internal affairs of Wano Country, he neither cares nor wants to care.
Excessive interference in the internal affairs of allies will only lead to unnecessary trouble.
The Telekinesis Domain silently unfolded, completely shielding Roy's presence.
Roy's figure glided silently through the clouds, passing through the Beasts Pirates ' patrol network, and landed directly on the top platform of the Skull Palace on Onigashima.
Roy straightened his collar and walked deeper into the palace.
The banquet hall in the Skull Palace is unusually lively today.
Torches illuminated the entire hall, and the long table was laden with wine and meat. The Beasts Pirates ' officers stood on either side.
The sounds of drinking games, clinking glasses, and boisterous laughter mingled together, shaking the decorations on the walls.
Kaido sat on the throne at the very top, holding a gourd of wine larger than a human head, his face flushed from drinking.
When he saw Roy walk in through the side door, he was taken aback at first, then threw his head back and burst into laughter.
"Hehehehe! Roy! You got here faster than I expected!"
Kaido's voice, as always, shook so loudly it hurt your eardrums.
"You were so vague on the phone, what important matter could have made you, the one who usually avoids responsibility, come all the way here in person?"
Roy did not answer directly.
His gaze swept around the banquet hall.
All-Stars staff members are present.
Jhin leaned against a pillar to the right of the throne, Queen slumped in a chair stuffing dessert into his mouth, and Jack was gnawing on a whole roasted sea monster leg.
All Flying Six were present, and some of their faces were not present when they met last time.
Roy looked away and smiled. " Kaido, this wine is quite good."
Kaido narrowed his eyes.
He may be reckless, but he's not stupid.
Roy's reaction clearly indicated that he didn't want to discuss serious matters in a crowded place.
King understood Roy's meaning before Kaido.
He straightened up from the pillar, walked over to Roy, patted him on the shoulder, and spoke in a calm tone, as if he were having a casual conversation.
"Since you're here, let's have a drink first. We can talk about anything else after we finish."
Roy glanced at Jhin, nodded, and sat down at the long table.
Kaido took another large gulp of sake, then didn't press the matter further, simply waving his hand to his subordinates.
"Bring some wine to my ally!"
"The best wine!"
