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

Roy instantly unleashed his Observation Haki.

The entire island unfolded in his mind, and after observing it carefully for a moment, Roy found the location of Ghost Island.

Roy withdrew his Observation Haki and quickly sorted out the information he had sensed to everyone.

"Wano Country has a complex terrain, with each of its six regions—Kuri, Hakumai, Nozomi, Udon, Suzuko, and the Flower Capital—having its own unique characteristics."

"Orochi's main force is concentrated in the Flower Capital, while Onigashima is in the surrounding waters."

I really couldn't sense Kaido's presence; he probably hasn't returned yet.

Roy paused, then looked at Hawkeye.

"However, this country does indeed have quite a few swordsmen with considerable strength, scattered throughout various regions."

Unfortunately, most of them were listless or kept hidden, presumably struggling to survive under oppressive rule or lying in wait in secret.

Roy's words made Mihawk's eyes light up.

Just then, a commotion and the sound of orderly footsteps came from above the distant cliff.

A group of warriors clad in black armor with the family crest appeared at the edge of their field of vision, peering toward the waterfall, clearly alerted by the commotion caused by Ark Maxim flying over it.

"It's Orochi's patrol team," Stella confirmed.

"Ignore them." Roy waved his hand, his tone indifferent. "Our target isn't these small fry. Let's go straight to Ghost Island."

"Tezzolo, turn northeast, full speed ahead."

"clear!"

The golden ship of Ark Proverb slightly adjusted its angle, pierced the sky, and flew straight towards the island in the northeast of Wano Country that was shrouded in dark clouds and shaped like a hideous demon head.

The shouts of the charcoal samurai below were quickly carried away by the wind.

After flying for a while, the scenery of Ghost Island gradually became clear.

A giant bull-horned skull sits in the middle of the island.

The surrounding area is filled with jagged rocks, and the architecture is rugged and wild. Several warships flying the flag of the Beasts Pirates are moored in the harbor.

The island was bustling with activity, noisy and chaotic.

"Is this Kaido's headquarters? It looks exactly like his minotaur."

Barrett crossed his arms and looked at the ghost island before him.

"Hey!"

Roy chuckled softly.

"Now that you mention it, it's true."

While Roy and his group were surveying the environment of Ghost Island, the lookouts on the outer perimeter also spotted the Ark Maxim in mid-air.

Such a huge and magnificent golden spaceship, barging in so directly, it was hard not to attract attention.

Before long, a sharp alarm sounded from the watchtower.

"Enemy attack! Unidentified ships have intruded!!!"

As the alarm sounded, the pirates on Onigashima quickly assembled.

Several figures, whose auras were clearly stronger than those of the regular soldiers, rushed out of the building from within the skull.

Leading the pack was a figure with wings on its back and flames burning behind it—it was none other than 'Jin,' whom they had met briefly in the Sabaody Archipelago.

As a descendant of Lunaria and Kaido's most capable lieutenant, the still young King, though not yet at his peak strength, already possessed an extremely formidable aura.

He was accompanied by several people, one of whom was Quinn, who was obese, wore sunglasses, had a head full of braids, and wore flashy leopard-print pants (he was not yet fully overweight at this time, but his distinctive features were already apparent).

The other was a burly young Jack, wearing a mammoth helmet and with fierce eyes, along with several other figures who appeared to be cadres.

Roy stood at the bow of the ship, looking down at the members of the Beasts Pirates.

"Looks like Kaido's not home, but the guards are all pretty proactive."

Roy had a slight smile on his lips.

"Perfect, saves us the trouble of looking for it."

The Ark Maxim hovered in mid-air in front of the main building of Ghost Island, without landing. This condescending posture was itself a silent provocation.

"Who are you people? How dare you trespass on the territory of the Beasts Pirates!"

Young and impetuous, Jack roared first, his voice like that of a ferocious beast, making the ears of the surrounding pirates go numb.

Jin raised his hand to stop Jack from shouting any further, his gaze fixed on Roy, and he spoke in a deep voice.

"We've met. In the Sabaody Archipelago."

He recognized him. Although it was only a brief encounter, Roy and his group had caused quite a stir in the Sabaody Archipelago.

"You have a good memory."

Tell me the purpose of your visit.

The appearance of Roy and the others made Jin secretly wary, and the flames behind him rose slightly.

With Governor Kaido absent, the island's current forces are no match for the enemy.

"The goal is simple."

"I need to talk to Kaido about something."

As Roy finished speaking, Jack, who had long been fed up with their arrogant attitude, roared...

"Arrogant! You want to find Boss Kaido? You'll have to see if you can get past me first!"

Before Jin could stop him, the enraged Jack's body suddenly swelled up.

With a powerful push off the ground, his massive body soared into the sky, wielding a giant scythe and slashing down fiercely at Roy at the bow of the ship!

"Get down here!"

This strike was incredibly powerful, tearing through the air with Jack's brute force. An ordinary ship would likely be cleaved in two instantly if struck.

"As expected of the future shipping magnate, his temper is truly volatile."

Roy stood at the bow of the ship, watching Jack soar into the sky with great interest, completely ignoring his attack.

Just as Jack was about to strike, a dark figure arrived first!

Barrett had appeared to Roy's side and slightly in front of him at some point, his right arm covered in jet-black Armament Haki.

With his muscles bulging, he threw a simple punch that landed precisely on the side of Jack's scythe blade!

"Thump—!!!"

A dull, bell-like impact rang out!

Jack's seemingly inevitable strike was abruptly halted, the massive scythe frozen in mid-air.

Jack himself was flushed, his arms were trembling, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.

He felt as if he had struck not flesh and blood, but an unshakeable mountain of steel!

Barrett grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth: "Kid, you're not bad strong, but you're a long way from taking down our captain!"

Before he finished speaking, the power in his fist suddenly exploded!

"Bang!"

Jack could no longer hold the scythe; his hand split open, and blood splattered everywhere.

The massive weapon flew out of his hand, spinning as it crashed down on the building below, eliciting gasps and the sound of collapse.

He himself was thrown back by the force and crashed to the ground like a cannonball.

"Jack!" Quinn exclaimed, his obese body moving with unusual agility as he tried to catch Jack.

However, another figure was faster than him.

The flames behind Jin suddenly surged, and with a flap of his wings,

He instantly appeared in Jack's path as he flew backward, bracing his back with one hand. A burst of intense flames dissipated most of the impact.

The two stumbled and landed, sliding for more than ten meters before coming to a stop.

At this moment, Jack had blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, was panting heavily, and looked at Barrett with a mixture of shock, anger, and fear.

Just one punch!

The ghost island fell silent instantly, with only the echoes of collapsing buildings and the crackling of burning flames remaining.

All the members of the Beasts Pirates stared in shock at the golden ship in mid-air and the burly man at its bow who looked like a god of war.

Jhin slowly released Jack, looked up at Roy, and the flickering flames behind him revealed his inner turmoil.

Even a single person from the opposing side possesses such overwhelming power...
