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

After leaving the training room, Roy went to several other places.

Cyrus is practicing swordsmanship with Hawkeye. Although he is completely suppressed, he is improving with each exchange.

Kuma is practicing using the Paw-Paw Fruit's abilities in combat, trying to evoke the concepts of "pain" and "fatigue."

Under Barrett's supervision, the five members of CP underwent hellish physical training, with each person pushing their limits.

Even Ginny is learning basic medical and physical skills under Vera's guidance, hoping not to become a burden.

Roy nodded in satisfaction as he watched all this.

After witnessing the vastness of the world, not everyone can maintain their ambition.

Some people will get discouraged, and some will give up.

But his companions chose to face the challenge head-on.

This is the team he wants.

On the evening of the fifth day, the outline of Rogge appeared on the horizon.

The port city, known as the "Town of Beginnings and Ends," is currently shrouded in a strange atmosphere.

Even though Roger's execution was still more than two weeks away, people from all over the world had already gathered in the town.

Pirates, journalists, businessmen, adventurers, and even agents of the World Government.

Everyone wants to witness the final moments of One Piece.

The Ark Proverb landed on a remote coastline outside the town, and the group entered the town in batches to avoid attracting too much attention.

Roy, along with Hawkeye, Barrett, and Tesoro, found an inconspicuous hotel to stay in.

The others were scattered throughout different areas of the town, maintaining contact while gathering intelligence.

After settling in, Roy went alone to the hotel rooftop and looked out over the town that was about to witness history.

As the sun sets, the streets of Rogge are bustling with people, their various languages ​​blending together to create a noisy background.

But in Roy's Observation Haki, countless undercurrents were hidden beneath this noise.

"At least thirty pirate crews are lurking in the town..."

"The CP has no fewer than fifty agents..."

"There are even more plainclothes naval officers, at least two hundred..."

"There's also a... strange aura."

Roy narrowed his eyes, sensing the faintly powerful auras.

Some of them look familiar—members of the Whitebeard Pirates; although there are only a few of them, they are all quite strong.

Some of them are unfamiliar—they must be observers from other forces.

"This execution has indeed attracted worldwide attention."

Footsteps sounded behind him. Hawkeye walked onto the roof, a bottle of wine in his hand.

"Want a drink?" he asked, handing it to me.

Roy took the bottle and took a sip.

Eagle Eye leaned against the railing, gazing into the distance.

"Given that man's personality, he would never silently accept his fate."

He'll definitely do something, something... something that will shake the world.

"I think so too."

"Are you really not going to save him?"

"I'm not going."

Roy shook his head.

"This is the path he chose himself."

And...don't you think a living Roger is less valuable than a dead Roger?

Hawkeye gave Roy a deep look and understood what he meant.

The living Roger was just a powerful pirate.

But Roger, who died, especially Roger, who died in such a shocking way,

It will become a symbol, a spark, and a key to ushering in a new era.

"You're more ruthless than I imagined," Hawkeye remarked.

"No, I'm just more realistic."

Roy looked up at the sky.

"In this world, ideals and passion are important, but it is even more important to see the situation clearly and make the most advantageous choice."

He drank the rest of the wine in one gulp and placed the bottle on the roof.

"I'm going out for a while, and I'll be back in about two days."

During this time, you and Barrett will be in charge of things on the ship.

"Where to?" Hawkeye asked.

Roy did not answer, but smiled slightly, and his figure turned into silver light and disappeared.

Eagle Eye looked at the empty rooftop, shook his head, and turned to go downstairs.

He knew Roy must have his own plans.

------

Impeldown, an underwater prison located deep in the Calm Belt, is where the World Government detains serious criminals.

This place is heavily guarded, with sea kings roaming the surrounding waters, naval fleets patrolling day and night, and the legendary Director Magellan overseeing the area.

But today, Impelton welcomed a special guest.

Thousands of meters above the prison, Roy sat cross-legged in the clouds, his body enveloped in a mental barrier that blocked all detection.

He was waiting.

According to the original story, after being captured, the Golden Lion will be sent to the sixth level of Impel Down, the Infinite Hell.

The person escorting them is most likely Garp—after all, Golden Lion was captured by Garp and Sengoku together, so it would be most appropriate for them to escort him.

Time passed second by second.

Roy's Observation Haki spread out like mercury, covering an area of ​​dozens of nautical miles in radius.

He "saw" what was happening inside Impelton—

The prison has six levels, each holding the most vicious criminals.

The prison guards' tight patrol routes;

Director Magellan is processing documents in his office;

Deputy Commissioner Hannibal is secretly eating something...

Everything is normal.

Until noon the next day, a warship appeared at the edge of perception.

Roy opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in his silver pupils.

coming.

It was a standard vice admiral-class warship, but the aura emanating from it far surpassed that of an ordinary vice admiral.

Garp, and... Aokiji?

Roy was somewhat surprised. In the original story, Garp was supposed to escort Shiki alone, so why was Aokiji involved?

But then I realized—

The Golden Lion's rampage at Marine Headquarters demonstrated terrifying strength, making it reasonable to add an extra layer of protection.

The warship slowly sailed toward the port of Impelton.

On the deck, the golden lion was bound like a dumpling with sea stone chains and was personally guarded by Garp.

Aokiji stood at the bow of the ship, yawning lazily, but his eyes were always alert to the surrounding sea.

"We've finally arrived..."

Karp sighed as he watched Impelton approach.

"That guy Shiki, once he's locked up here, he probably won't be able to escape."

Aokiji shrugged.

"Who knows? But with Director Domke and Senior Magellan, there shouldn't be any problems."

As the two were talking, the warship had already docked.

Magellan, who was still the deputy commissioner at the time, personally led a team to welcome the Golden Lion at the port—a serious criminal like the Golden Lion had to be treated with the highest level of protocol.

"Lieutenant General Garp, Admiral Candidate Aokiji, welcome to Impeldown."

Magellan said expressionlessly,

"Hand the prisoner over to me; I will imprison him in the sixth level of the Infinite Hell."

"Thank you for your help, Magellan."

Karp patted Magellan on the shoulder.

"This guy is dangerous, we need to keep a close eye on him."

"rest assured."

Magellan waved his hand, and the jailers behind him pushed in a specially made prison cart.

The golden lion was transferred into the prison van, and three more layers of sea stone chains were added.

Throughout the entire process, the Golden Lion remained silent, simply observing everything coldly.

The madness from before was gone from his eyes, replaced only by coldness and... a certain determination.

The prison van slowly drove through the gates of Impelton and disappeared into the dark passageway.

Garp and Aokiji didn't linger; after the handover was completed, they left on a warship.

They also had to rush back to Marineford to prepare for Roger's execution.

Roy, high in the sky, saw all of this.

He didn't move, just sat quietly until the warship disappeared from his sight and until night fell again.

Then, he stood up and stretched his somewhat stiff body.

A flash of silver light appeared in the sky, and Roy's figure disappeared from the clouds.

The next major event was the execution in Loguetown.

Golden Lion has been imprisoned, and Roy is eager to see how the story will unfold.

But what we're even more eager to see is what kind of era Roger's final words will ignite.

The Ark's Proverbs have arrived in Loguetown, and the crew is gathering intelligence and observing the situation.

He himself also needs to make full preparations for the upcoming big event.

A new era is about to sweep across the world.

The Roy Pirates are destined to stir up a storm in the waves.
