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

"Now, can we talk properly?"

Roy's voice rang out again.

"As I said, I'm here to talk to Kaido. But seeing how enthusiastic you all are, I don't mind stretching my muscles first."

Roy spoke in a relaxed tone, maneuvering the spaceship to slowly descend. The group disembarked one after another and arrived opposite Jin and the others.

Roy ignored the surrounding soldiers and focused his gaze directly on Jin.

The furrowed brow beneath the mask of ashes, and Roy's calm yet profound gaze, made him feel immense pressure.

"While Governor Kaido is away, I will temporarily take charge of Onigashima affairs."

"What do you want to talk about?"

"Something that Kaido would be interested in."

Roy took two steps forward, and the encirclement instinctively retreated. The armed henchmen didn't even dare to look him in the eye as he passed.

"Clues about ancient weapons, secrets about your Lunaria clan."

The last sentence caused Ember's pupils to contract sharply, and the flames behind him surged dramatically.

This was a direct test of his weakness—the secret of the Lunaria race was his greatest obsession.

"You…" Jin's voice trembled with disbelief, "What do you know?"

I know more than you think.

Roy stopped, standing only five steps away from Jhin.

"But now is not the time to go into details. I need a quiet place to wait for Kaido to return. In the meantime..."

Roy's gaze slowly shifted to Jack, who was eager to make a move beside him.

The young drought demon stared intently at Barrett, his eyes burning with the flames of revenge.

Jack clearly hadn't swallowed the humiliation of that punch.

"Looks like this friend isn't very welcoming to us?" Roy said with a half-smile.

"Who the hell is your friend?!" Jack roared, his mammoth features becoming even more pronounced.

"I was careless just now! Let's try again!"

"Jack, step back!" Ember shouted sternly.

But Jack was blinded by rage. He roared, his leg muscles bulged, the ground cracked, and he charged at Barrett like a cannonball.

"This time I'm going to smash you into a meat patty!"

"That's more like it!"

Barrett grinned, neither dodging nor avoiding, but instead went to meet him.

The two giant shadows collided again, this time with an even greater commotion than before.

As Jack approached Barrett, he entered his full beast form, unleashing a barrage of attacks: mammoth tusks, powerful trunk strikes, and shockwaves that stomped the earth.

However, Barrett now possesses immense combat experience, having already fought against several top-tier powerhouses.

Facing Jack, he didn't even bother using his Devil Fruit powers, simply relying on his Armament Haki-infused fists to deflect Jack's attacks one by one.

"Too slow!"

"The power is not concentrated enough!"

"Are you a mammoth that hasn't had enough to eat?"

Barrett commented as he fought, his mocking tone fueling Jack's rage, which made Jack's attacks even more chaotic.

In less than three minutes,

Barrett seized an opening in Jack's defenses and delivered a powerful uppercut to Jack's chin.

The impact of Armament Haki penetrated his body, sending Jack's massive frame floating upwards, causing a brief moment of blankness in his consciousness.

Before he even landed, Barrett was already above him, his right foot slashing down like a battle axe!

"Bang--!"

Jack was slammed into the ground, creating a huge, human-shaped crater in the central square of Ghost Island, filled with smoke and dust.

When the smoke cleared, Jack was found lying at the bottom of the pit, his eyes rolled back, unconscious, his mammoth features slowly fading away.

silence.

A deathly silence.

The members of the Beasts Pirates looked at Jack, who was lying unconscious in the pit.

Looking at Barrett, who landed easily and dusted off his hands, fear was like being doused with ice water.

Quinn swallowed hard and instinctively took a half-step back.

Jin gripped the hilt of the knife at his waist, but ultimately did not draw it—he knew that even if he did, the outcome would not be much better than Jack's.

Roy acted as if nothing had happened, looking at Jhin again: "Now, can we continue our talk?"

Jin took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down: "...What do you want?"

"First, arrange a quiet place for us, and don't disturb us until Kaido returns." Roy held up one finger.

"Secondly, I need detailed information about Wano Country recently, especially Orochi's movements and the activities of resistance forces in various regions." (Second finger)

"Third," Roy looked directly into King's eyes and smiled slyly, "I haven't decided yet. Let's wait until Kaido comes back."

Upon hearing this, Jin secretly breathed a sigh of relief; Royty's conditions weren't harsh.

After a moment's thought, Jin slowly spoke: "Accommodation can be arranged. But intelligence... must wait for Governor Kaido to return so he can make the decision."

"Sure," Roy nodded readily. "Lead the way."

Such a swift concession only made Jin more uneasy.

Looking at Roy's calm face, I always felt that this blond youth was hiding a deeper intention.

"This way, please."

Jhin turned and led the way, giving Quinn a wink at the same time.

Queen understood and immediately ordered his men to lift Jack out of the pit and treat him. At the same time, he secretly ordered them to strengthen their vigilance and activate the highest level of encrypted communication to contact Kaido as soon as possible.

Roy and his group followed Jhin into the skull-shaped building.

As they passed the terrified pirates, Savi looked around curiously, while Enel curled his lip in disdain.

Pea hugged her flowerpot tightly, while Eagle Eye's sharp gaze swept across the surrounding buildings and possible defensive arrangements.

"Boss, are we really going to live here?" Savi asked in a low voice. "It feels creepy."

"That's just for now," Roy smiled. "We'll decide on the next step after we meet the person in charge."

Their figures disappeared at the entrance of the skull-shaped building.

All that remained was the conspicuous crater in the plaza and a group of terrified Beast Pirates members.

The clouds over Ghost Island seemed to grow even thicker.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the New World, Kaido, who was fighting a powerful enemy, suddenly felt his special Den Den Mushi (snail phone) vibrate.

He frowned, forced his opponent back with a blow, and answered the phone.

A few minutes later, a deafening dragon roar echoed throughout the sea:

"Roy?! You dare trespass on my territory?! I'll go back and tear you to pieces!!!"

The accommodations that Jhin arranged for Roy and his group were located in the west wing of the skull-shaped building, which was originally an area for receiving visiting guests.

Although the decor is rustic, the space is spacious and offers a wide view overlooking part of Ghost Island's harbor and the distant sea.

The room was fairly clean, but a faint smell of blood and alcohol still lingered in the air.

"This is it."

Jin stopped in front of a heavy metal door, pushed it open, and revealed several interconnected suites inside.

"Food and daily necessities will be delivered on time. Please do not wander around during this period, especially avoid the central main bunker, laboratories, and armories."

"Of course, we are guests, not robbers."

Roy walked into the room, looked around, and nodded in satisfaction.

"As long as no one bothers us, we're naturally happy to have some peace and quiet."

Jin gave Roy a deep look, said nothing more, and turned to leave.
