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

Ark Maxims.

In the captain's cabin, Roy sat at his desk.

I opened the drawer and took out a notebook.

Opening the book reveals records of plans and goals made over the years.

Several checkmarks have already been placed in the "Recruit Partners" section:

Hawkeye Mihawk – Complete.

Barrett – Complete.

Tesoro – Complete.

Cyrus – Completed.

Crocodile - Complete.

Bear – Complete.

The CP five-person group - an unexpected surprise.

Next are "Developing Power", "Acquiring Resources", "The Secret of the David Clan (Blackbeard)", "Exploring the Poneglyphs"...

Every road is still long.

Roy picked up his pen and wrote a new line in his notebook:

Witness Roger's execution and usher in a new era.

After finishing writing, he closed his notebook and looked out the window.

Below, a sea of ​​clouds surged, and sunlight streamed through the porthole onto the table, warm and bright.

There is one month left until Roger's execution.

The world will undergo earth-shattering changes in the next month.

The navy will be on high alert, the world government will be closely monitoring the situation, and various forces will be eager to make their move.

The Roy Pirates will witness a turning point in history at the heart of the storm.

"Roger..."

Roy muttered to himself,

"What exactly did you see in Laugh Tale?"

"The Will of D, the Void Century, Ancient Weapons..."

I will uncover these secrets one by one.

The era you ushered in will be written by me in its new chapters.

-

The Ark's Maxims, on the deck.

The crew members on the ship who had mastered the "internal forging" technique were training within Roy's gravity field.

Inside the training room, Crocodile was sparring with Cyrus.

"Sand Blade Modified!"

Crocodile's right hand transformed into quicksand, but it solidified and hardened the instant it was swung out, covered with jet-black Armament Haki.

This move combines the shape-changing properties of the Sand-Sand Fruit with Armament Haki entangling the user, and is the result of his hard training over the past few days.

Kyros raised his sword to parry, the blade also radiating Armament Haki.

The two blades clashed, sparks flew.

"Not smooth enough, Old Sha!"

Cyrus said in a deep voice, and with a backhand thrust, he aimed his sword at Crocodile's ribs.

The sword's blade exudes an aura of dominance that appears and disappears, pulsating rhythmically as if it were breathing.

Crocodile's pupils constricted, and he quickly transformed into his elemental form to avoid a fatal blow.

But the sword still managed to leave a bloody gash on his waist.

"Tsk..." He covered his wound, and the sand automatically filled the damaged area.

This technique of using fruit abilities to stop bleeding instantly is also newly learned.

"Take a five-minute break."

"good!"

Cyrus took the towel his wife handed him, grinned,

"The captain's ability is truly amazing. Not only can he directly impart cultivation methods, but he can also accelerate the cultivation speed."

Crocodile didn't answer, but he felt his strength rapidly increasing over the past few days.

The idea of ​​leaving after three months was fading from my mind.

In a corner not far away, the five members of CP were undergoing their "special training".

Lu Qi lay on the ground, trembling all over.

I tried to do a standard push-up, but under the pressure of gravity, even just getting up was incredibly difficult.

Sweat seeped into the ground, leaving dark water stains.

"Too weak."

Barrett walked over and lightly kicked Lucci's arm with his toe.

"With such poor basic physique, it's no wonder he can only rely on the Six Techniques to cheat."

Lu Qi gritted his teeth, a hint of humiliation flashing in his eyes, but even more so, a stubborn refusal to admit defeat.

He took a deep breath, mustered all his strength, his arm muscles bulged with veins, and finally pushed his body off the ground by an inch—

Then it slammed back to the ground.

"Cough..." Lu Qi coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Kaku's situation is slightly better.

He was practicing kicking, but every time he lifted his leg, it felt like kicking a lead weight.

The slash from the Tempest Kick deformed and dissipated in the gravity field, unable to unleash even half its power.

"You're using the wrong method."

Hawkeye appeared behind him without him even noticing.

"Gravity changes air density and body inertia, so you need to recalculate the angle and force."

Kaku was taken aback, then suddenly realized.

He began to adjust his posture, no longer pursuing speed, but focusing on the complete power trajectory of each kick.

Kalifa, Bruno, and Gabra were doing basic physical training.

Squats, frog jumps, shuttle runs—these movements that are usually easy become torture under extreme gravity.

But no one complained.

Roy's mental suggestions had been deeply implanted in their consciousness.

To become stronger and stop being manipulated, one must endure pain.

More importantly, they have witnessed the daily life of the Roy Pirates firsthand these past few days.

These people are not bloodthirsty lunatics, but a team with goals, discipline, and mutual support.

Although Barrett was rough, he gave his all when instructing others.

Hawkeye is a man of few words, but his advice is always to the point; Vera is a skilled healer, and her treatments are gentle and meticulous.

Even Tezzolo, who always has a smile on his face, is frighteningly serious during training.

This atmosphere is completely different from the cold, cruel, and suspicious environment of the CP organization.

Daily life on the ship was spent in this rigorous training.

The daytime is dedicated to gravity training, skill refinement, and sparring.

Evenings are for knowledge learning, tactical discussions, and injury recovery.

Roy will adjust the training content according to each person's progress.

Crocodile focuses on training the combination of Haki and Devil Fruit abilities;

Kuma began to learn how to use the Paw-Paw Fruit for combat, not just for healing;

Cyrus studied even more advanced swordsmanship;

The five-member CP group started with the most basic physical enhancement.

As time went by, the changes became visible to the naked eye.

That afternoon, just after training had ended, the Den Den Mushi in the communications room suddenly rang.

Blu-ray Blu-ray Blu-ray... Blu-ray Blu-ray Blu-ray...

Roy wiped the sweat from his brow and headed toward the communications room.

Stella had already answered the phone and handed him the receiver.

"Moshi moshi, Kaido," Roy said casually.

The Den Den Mushi transformed into Kaido's likeness, perfectly capturing his single horn and ferocious expression.

"Hehehehe...Roy, kid!"

Kaido's loud laughter was so loud that it made people's eardrums tingle, even through the Den Den Mushi.

"Your 'scientists' are a bunch of freaks!"

The strength of the first batch of 'bloodline factor' test subjects is increasing rapidly!

"oh--!"

Roy's eyes lit up. "Racial traits?"

"Seventy percent."

Kaido's voice was filled with satisfaction.

"This is the highest of them."

When Quinn saw the data, his eyes practically popped out of his head, hehehehehe!

"That's good! I'll contact the doctor now."

Roy was overjoyed.

"By the way, what's the situation like in Wano Country?"

When this was mentioned, Kaido's voice turned cold.

"That idiot Kozuki Oden is still dancing."

He appears in the Flower Capital every day on time, strips naked, and dances his ridiculous dance.

The people, initially shocked, have now become numb.

"Where's the giant snake?"

"That guy is getting more and more outrageous."

Kaido snorted coldly.

"He really thinks he's a general."

"That's fine, let him keep causing trouble. When Oden's 'three-year agreement' expires, let's see what he has to say then."

Roy pondered for a moment,

"What about the New World?"

News of Roger's arrest should have spread by now, right?

"The news has spread!"

Kaido's voice became excited.

"The whole new world is in complete chaos now!"

The old man with the white beard remained calm and stayed put on his own turf.

But the other pirate crews have gone mad—Golden Lion's Flying Pirates are annexing the surrounding islands;

Big Mom is expanding the territories of the world;

Even some minor characters with bounties of two or three hundred million dare to jump out and grab territory!

Chaos has already emerged.
