One Piece: The user of the Nen-Nen Fruit, who overturned the sea.

However, Wano Country is indeed a good place. Not only is it easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it also possesses important strategic resources such as Seastone.

Not to mention, there is also the "Pluto" warship, one of the three great ancient weapons.

Rather than letting Kaido occupy it, I'd rather rule it myself. I won't be like Kaido, only knowing how to rule with oppressive power.

Five thousand years of wisdom from our ancestors—Roy really knows how to make the common people there behave.

"What's wrong, Roy! Is something strange?"

Seeing Roy staring at him blankly, Kozuki Oden reached out and touched his face in confusion.

"Hahaha!" Roy laughed awkwardly, quickly changing the subject.

"It's alright, it's alright, come on, let's have a drink!"

Roy raised his glass and clinked it against Oden's, cleverly concealing his earlier lapse in concentration.

After finishing his drinking contest, Kozuki Oden stood up, greeted Roy, and then turned around to drink with Roger.

Roy believed that Kozuki Oden would definitely join Roger's crew, especially since he was Whitebeard's younger brother.

How embarrassing would it be if Kozuki Oden returned to Wano Country and found that he had occupied Oden's country?

"It seems we need to think this through more carefully!" Roy sighed inwardly.

The banquet went on until late at night, and everyone was a little tipsy. The noise gradually subsided, and the little ones who hadn't been drinking took turns keeping watch.

Shanks and Buggy from the Roger Pirates, and Savi, Enel, and Pea from the Roy Pirates, are facing off against several boys of similar age from the Whitebeard Pirates.

Roy stood up and slowly walked to Pea and the others.

"What are you guys doing?"

"They've been keeping an eye on each other, so we can't let the Roy Pirates down!"

Savi said in a simple and honest way, then widened his eyes and put on a serious expression. Pea and Enel followed suit, also putting on serious expressions.

Roy found their expressions amusing and turned to look at the Whitebeard Pirates' group of boys. One of them, a chubby little black boy, immediately caught Roy's attention.

Marshall D. Teach!

The son of the world's overlord, Lox

The future Four Emperors, the traitorous Blackbeard.

Seeing that Roy was also paying attention to the chubby little black man, Bucky quietly walked up to Roy, tugged at Roy's sleeve, and gestured for Roy to lower his head.

"Hey! Roy, you noticed too, didn't you!"

"What?"

"That's the guy; he doesn't seem to have slept at all for the past three days!"

"Hey! That means we get double the training time!" Shanks said enviously as he leaned closer.

"No way! I heard he's never slept since birth!"

Roy knew all this, of course; it was the David family, with their unique physique capable of consuming three Devil Fruits.

However, it seems that in the world of One Piece, these members of the 'D' clan all possess some strange physical constitutions and have terrifyingly strong vitality.

"Hey! Teach, that monster is staring at you!" The boy in the chef's uniform nudged Teach.

At this moment, Teach was already panicking. Just a moment ago, when Roy looked at him, it felt as if some force swept through his body and mind.

This made him feel as if his secret had been exposed.

"Yeah! This guy is a complete monster!"

Teach wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and echoed her words.

Roy withdrew his gaze from Teach, told Pea and the others to continue their night watch, and then turned and walked to a tree, sat cross-legged, and closed his eyes to ponder.

"How interesting! Three hearts? That's why the David family can eat three Devil Fruits."

A slight smile appeared on Roy's lips.

"I really want to catch this black-bearded man and let Dr. Gracia study him properly."

"However, Blackbeard hasn't defected yet, but he's still Whitebeard's 'son.' Given how much he values ​​his son, it would be very difficult to kidnap him."

"We can't possibly wait twenty years until Blackbeard defectes before we go after him!"

Thinking about this gave Roy a headache, and after pondering for a long time, he still couldn't come up with a good solution.

"Forget it, my strength hasn't reached its peak yet. My body is still growing rapidly, and I haven't awakened the 'Mind-Mind' Fruit. There's no need to use external forces yet."

"I have plenty of time, we'll see when the time comes."

Could the most malevolent Devil Fruit—the Logia-type Dark-Dark Fruit—appear earlier, attracting Blackbeard to defect sooner?

"If all else fails, we'll try a fake one and see if that can seduce this ambitious guy."

"Marshall D. Teach, haha..."

After Roy figured things out, he leaned against the tree trunk and slowly fell asleep.

Meanwhile, the black-bearded man, who was still facing off in the distance, felt a sudden pang of unease and nervously rubbed his arms together.

the next day,

When Roy woke up, he saw Whitebeard, Roger, and Kozuki Oden discussing something at the top of a huge tree.

Arguments would occasionally erupt, and the angry white beard would even shatter the air around him.

"It seems Oden is going to join Roger's crew."

Nothing has changed.

This seems like a good thing for Roy, as Roger can still become the Pirate King and usher in the "Great Pirate Era".

Now that Roy is familiar with the plot, things will develop even better for him.

Sure enough, about half an hour later, Oden suddenly knelt before the white-bearded man and said something.

An angry white-bearded man pounded the air with both hands, causing a series of booming sounds. Finally, after Oden's pleading, he had no choice but to agree.

The loud noise caused by the white beard also woke up those who were still asleep.

The members of Roy's pirate crew all moved closer to Roy.

"What's wrong with Whitebeard? Why is he so angry so early in the morning?" Barrett asked curiously, arms crossed.

"Nothing much! It's probably because Oden is going to join Roger's pirate crew."

"Let's just watch quietly!"

Sure enough, soon after, at Whitebeard's command, his sons assembled.

Without saying much to Roger and the others, the Whitebeard Pirates left directly.

As he passed by Roy, the white-bearded man gave Roy a slight nod as a greeting.

Watching the Moby Dick sail far away, Roger, having obtained the final crucial piece of the puzzle, excitedly announced Oden's joining the team.

This drew cheers from the members of Roger's pirate crew.

After arranging the departure details, Roger, seeing Roy and the others who hadn't left yet, strode up to Roy.

"Roy, thank you for telling me about Oden. Otherwise, I don't know when I would have reached the final island."

"Haha! It's nothing. Getting Oden to join you is all thanks to you."

"Oh! Thank you anyway, but..."

"Kid, what are your plans next?"

Roger asked, his tone unusually serious.

Roy gazed at the distant horizon.

"Keep sailing, keep getting stronger. There are still many sights in this world that we have never seen."
