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

The navy, this massive war machine,

After experiencing the growing pains of high-level personnel changes and strategic shifts, it began to operate rapidly according to new instructions.

The conscription order was sent to all branches across the country as quickly as possible, and new patrol plans and clearing missions were quickly formulated.

Meanwhile, a fleet carrying the "Buster Call" Golden Den Den Mushi, led by Akainu and Aokiji,

They quietly departed Marineford and headed towards the distant Western Sea.

The New World, Beehive Island.

The core members of the Roy Pirates also gathered in the conference room to analyze the latest situation that had just been gathered through various channels.

Stella projected the intelligence onto the screen.

"The changes in the top leadership of the Navy Headquarters have been confirmed."

Steel Bone Kong resigned, and Warring States succeeded him as Marshal.

Akainu, Kizaru, and Aokiji have been officially promoted to Admirals.

At the same time, the World Government officially announced the establishment of the "Seven Warlords of the Sea" system.

"The Seven Warlords of the Sea?" Tesoro scoffed.

"Let pirates fight pirates? The World Government really has some ideas."

However, this is a good sign, indicating that the navy is indeed in dire straits and severely understaffed.

Crocodile exhaled a smoke ring, his eyes gleaming.

"The Seven Warlords of the Sea... that sounds like an identity that can be used. Legal plundering, immunity from capture, and the ability to mobilize some government resources."

Barrett, however, looked utterly disdainful.

"Only the weak need this kind of hypocritical protection. True strength comes from the fist!"

"The Seven Warlords system is indeed a signal, and also a poisoned bait used by the World Government to try to divide the pirate forces."

Roy tapped the table, setting the tone for the conversation.

"There's no need to envy, and even less need to care. Our path doesn't need to be draped in that cloak of hypocrisy."

Roy was preparing to continue analyzing specific coping strategies for the new world.

The other encrypted Den Den Mushi in my arms suddenly rang urgently.

Roy's eyes flickered slightly. He gestured to the others, took out a Den Den Mushi, and answered the call.

The face simulated by the Den Den Mushi was even more solemn than when they last met; it was none other than Monkey D. Dragon.

"Captain Roy, I'm sorry to bother you at this time."

The dragon's voice was deep and urgent; there were no pleasantries, only a direct cut to the chase.

"I imagine that with your intelligence network, you should already know about Ohara, right?"

"We just received word that there are unusual naval movements heading towards the West Sea. Combined with some rumors, we speculate that it may be related to the research at Ohara."

Roy answered cautiously, his gaze sweeping over his colleagues who had suddenly fallen silent in the conference room.

"It's not just 'about'."

The dragon's tone carried a suppressed sense of urgency.

"I just received news that the highest levels of the World Government have given orders to the Navy."

Launch a Buster Call against Ohara.

The executor is the newly appointed Admiral Akainu, with Aokiji accompanying him.

The fleet has already set sail, and time... is probably running out.

Despite being mentally prepared, the air in the meeting room suddenly froze.

The meaning of the three words "Buster Order" was clear to everyone present—it meant absolute destruction, leaving no survivors and erasing everything.

"And the reason? Is it still that same old excuse of 'studying taboo history'?"

Roy's voice remained steady.

"Yes, touching on the 'blank century'."

The dragon's voice carried a hint of suppressed anger, but even more so, urgency.

"Roy, I know this request is extremely unreasonable and will put you and your companions in grave danger."

It could even trigger a full-scale crackdown by world governments.

But... I implore you, could you possibly intervene, at least... rescue some people?

Some key researchers and their findings.

Long paused, his voice revealing an unusual weakness.

"The revolutionary army's strength in the West Sea is too weak, and I am currently unable to leave my post."

But we cannot stand by and watch those sparks of the pursuit of truth be completely extinguished!

That knowledge, those interpretations of history, reveal the flaws in our understanding of the world.

This could be crucial for establishing a new order in the future!

The only sound on the terrace was the sea breeze.

In the conference room, Tezzolo stopped typing on the calculator.

Crocodile's cigar smoke lingered in mid-air, and Hawkeye's fingers unconsciously caressed the hilt of his sword.

Barrett frowned.

Roy was silent for a moment, quickly weighing the options in his mind.

The Ohara incident is a landmark tragedy in the original work and a turning point in Robin's fate.

Intervening would undoubtedly be the beginning of a direct confrontation with the World Government, and would completely alter many future trajectories.

The risks are enormous, but... isn't change one of the goals he came to this world for?

Moreover,

Currently, only Kozuki Oden and his father from Wano Country, along with the scholars of Ohari, are able to decipher the Poneglyphs.

Roy was still interested in seeing the secret of the final island that Roger had kept hidden.

The meeting room was completely silent.

Roy was silent for those few seconds.

All eyes were on him, awaiting his decision.

Finally, Roy took a deep breath and slowly spoke into the Den Den Mushi:

"Dragon, I promise you."

A distinct sense of relief came from the other end of the phone.

"Thank you, Captain Roy. The Revolutionary Army will remember this kindness."

"You're welcome."

Roy's tone was calm.

"The truth that the scholars of Ohara are seeking is also something I want to know, but..."

He paused, his voice becoming serious:

"I can only do my best."

The Buster Call is no joke; the firepower of five vice admiral-class warships is enough to cover the entire island.

We might encounter a naval admiral, so there are no plans for a direct confrontation.

Our primary objective is to rescue people and gather data, then evacuate.

"I understand, that's enough."

The dragon's voice was filled with gratitude.

After hanging up the phone, Roy immediately looked at his colleagues in the conference room.

He didn't ask "What do you think?" because there was no need—

From the moment he made his decision, the Roy Pirates had already made their choice.

"Captain, are we heading to the Western Sea?"

Tesoro was the first to speak, his eyes flashing with golden arcs of electricity.

"Um."

Roy nodded.

"But not everyone will be mobilized. Hive Island has just been stabilized, and we can't leave no one in charge."

His gaze swept over the crowd, and he finally made his decision.

"This time it's just me, Tezzolo, and Barrett going."

I'll be responsible for controlling the large-scale situation and ensuring a safe retreat; Tezzolo will be responsible for high-speed maneuvering and providing support.

Barrett was responsible for both assault and cover.

Roy looked at Hawkeye:

"Mihawk, Beehive Island is now yours."

With you here, unless Whitebeard or Big Mom come in person, there won't be any major problems.

Hawkeye nodded calmly, without saying anything more.

"Crocodile, Kuma, Cyrus, Stella, you guys work with Hawkeye to stabilize the situation on the island."

Roy continued to make arrangements.

"If you encounter a problem that you can't solve, contact Kaido. He won't stand idly by."

"clear."

The crowd responded in unison.
