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

Crack!

Several thick bolts of golden lightning, like wildly dancing golden snakes, struck the CP agents at a speed too fast for the naked eye to perceive.

They didn't even have time to scream before collapsing to the ground, charred black in the dazzling lightning, convulsing and losing consciousness.

This sudden turn of events left everyone stunned.

Spandam's face froze instantly upon seeing Tezoro's appearance, especially his signature green hair and lightning abilities.

It turned into extreme fear; his eyes almost popped out of their sockets, and cold sweat instantly soaked his back.

"Thunder...lightning...you...you're 'Thor' Tesoro?! A member of the Roy Pirates?!"

Spandam's voice trembled as the horrific memory of his nightmare at Enies Lobby flooded back.

That black-clad swordsman (Roy) is the deepest shadow in his heart!

He hesitated almost without hesitation, and disregarded any notions of mission or merit.

He turned abruptly and fled for his life towards the seaside pier at the fastest speed he had ever traveled.

He ran while hysterically shouting at the remaining CP agents.

"Stop them! Stop them!"

However, the remaining CP agents, witnessing the tragic state of their comrades and hearing the name of the "Roy Pirates,"

Already terrified out of their wits, they dared not linger and scattered along with Spandam.

I only regret that my parents didn't give me two more legs.

Roy watched Spandam scramble away, shook his head, and smiled at Tezzolo.

"It seems that the incident at Enies Lobby really gave him psychological trauma."

Tesoro curled his lip: "A piece of trash."

With the crisis temporarily averted, Saul breathed a sigh of relief and quickly put Robin down from his palm (or beside him).

Little Robin immediately ran crying to Olvia, who was also freed and covered in wounds.

"Mother!"

"Robin! My child!"

The mother and daughter embraced tightly.

Olvia stroked her daughter's head and face, looking into her innocent yet resolute eyes that belied her age.

Hearing her declaration of "becoming a scholar," my heart was filled with complex emotions—

Guilt, pride, heartache, and deep anxiety about the future.

As Roy watched the mother and daughter finally reunite after going through so much hardship, an indescribable sense of absurdity and alienation rose in his heart.

In the world of One Piece, scenes like this, which seem deeply touching, of parents and children reuniting are not uncommon.

Ironically, many parents (such as Roger, Dragon, Yasopp, and even Olvia in the present moment, to some extent)

For the sake of their so-called "dreams," "missions," and "truth," they can abandon their young children and not return home for years, even putting themselves in danger.

The children (such as Ace, Luffy, Robin, and Usopp), despite the near absence of familial love, regard these parents who abandoned them as role models and idols, and follow in their footsteps.

This distorted "inheritance" and "bond" allows those from another world...

Roy, whose values ​​differed from Roy's, found it somewhat difficult to understand and accept.

Shouldn't family love be about mutual companionship and protection?

Is sacrificing the warmth of one's own family for a grander goal truly something to be admired?

However, now is not the time to think about these things. Roy put his thoughts aside and stepped forward.

"Ms. Olvia, Robin, I'm sorry to interrupt you."

"But the time for catching up will probably have to wait until we are safe."

The naval Buster Call fleet has arrived, and bombardment could begin at any moment.

We must head to the west coast immediately and leave on my ship.

Olvia hugged Robin tightly and looked at Roy.

"Thank you... Mr. Roy, and everyone else. Without you..."

"I'll express my gratitude later."

Roy interrupted her, looking at Saul and the other young scholars who had joined them.

And Barrett, who had just arrived (he casually took care of two slow-moving CP minions).

"Everyone, follow me, full speed ahead! Destination: West Coast!"

No one dared to delay any longer, and led by Roy, they raced toward the direction where the Ark Proverb was moored.

behind,

The chaos and cries of Ohara Island faded into the distance, but the unease and sense of destruction in the air grew stronger.

The group quickly traversed the gradually thinning woods.

The outline of the west coast and the strangely shaped dark gold spaceship (Ark Maxim) were already faintly visible.

However, from the central area of ​​Ohara behind them, the sounds that came were no longer chaotic voices, but rather...

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The deafening roar of the artillery fire, like the death knell of the Grim Reaper, suddenly ripped through the sky, shattering the last glimmer of hope!

The crowd stopped in their tracks and turned around in shock.

In the center of Ohara Island, in the direction of the Tree of Knowledge, which symbolizes five thousand years of wisdom and knowledge, a blazing inferno and thick smoke had been engulfed!

One after another, bright orange flashes of light erupted, accompanied by deafening roars and the muffled thuds of collapsing buildings. Even from a distance,

You can also feel the ground trembling slightly beneath your feet.

The Naval Headquarters' "Buster Call" began without warning!

"Doctor! Everyone!"

Several young scholars instantly burst into tears, knelt down in the direction of the Tree of Omniscience, and let out heart-wrenching cries.

They knew what kind of destruction those teachers and colleagues who chose to stay were enduring at that moment.

Robin held his mother Olvia's hand tightly, his face pale, tears streaming silently down his cheeks.

Sauro's huge fists clenched so tightly they cracked, his teeth were clenched so hard, and his eyes were filled with grief, anger, and helplessness.

Olvia held her daughter in her arms, closed her eyes, and her body trembled slightly.

Even Barrett, who was used to seeing death, curled his lip and muttered as he looked at the towering flames and smoke.

"Tsk, the World Government... really shows no mercy."

Tesoro's nonchalant expression vanished, replaced by a cold gaze.

A flicker of emotion crossed Roy's mind, but he felt an overwhelming sense of urgency.

The artillery fire has begun to spread to other areas of the island and will soon reach this area.

"There's no time to be sad!"

Roy shouted sharply, his voice carrying a powerful, mentally intimidating force that snapped everyone out of their grief.

"The shelling is spreading! If you don't want to perish with the Tree of Omniscience, get on the ship now! Let's go!"

He charged towards the Ark's Proverbs first.

Tezzolo and Barrett immediately followed, while warily scanning their surroundings.

Sauro gritted his teeth, grabbed two young scholars who were slumped on the ground, one in each hand, and strode after them.

Olvia, suppressing her grief, pulled Robin along and ran forward.

however,

Just when they were less than a hundred meters from the shallows where the Ark Proverb was anchored,

Roy's Observation Haki suddenly detected a powerful, cold, and familiar aura.

It's blocking the only way to the spaceship!

He suddenly stopped and raised his hand to signal everyone to stop.
