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

Just as Roy was pondering Doflamingo's situation, there was a knock on the office door.

"Come in."

The door opened, and Cyrus walked in.

The swordsman's face was now beaming with undisguised joy.

"Captain Roy!"

He walked up to Roy and bowed deeply.

"Scarlett and I want to go back to Dressrosa."

Roy raised an eyebrow.

"Back to Dressrosa?"

Cyrus nodded, a complex light flashing in his eyes.

"Let King Riku meet his granddaughter."

"Rebecca is already one year old, and His Majesty the King... has not yet seen her."

Roy was silent for two seconds, then smiled.

"That's how it should be."

He stood up, walked over to Cyrus, and patted him on the shoulder.

"Scarlett is the princess of Dressrosa, and Rebecca is King Riku's granddaughter."

"It's perfectly reasonable to let them meet."

A hint of gratitude flashed in Cyrus's eyes.

"Thank you, Captain Roy."

Roy waved his hand.

"No need for thanks, we're family, no need for formalities."

He paused, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

"Perfect timing, I'd also like to go to Dressrosa."

Cyrus was stunned.

"Is Captain Roy going too?"

Roy nodded, walked back to his desk, took a document from the drawer, and handed it to Cyrus.

"Take a look at this."

Cyrus took the document and began to read it.

After a moment, his expression turned serious.

"A large number of outsiders have appeared in Dressrosa... Doflamingo's subordinates from the Seven Warlords of the Sea..."

He looked up at Roy.

"Captain Roy, does Doflamingo intend to attack Dressrosa?"

Roy leaned back in his chair and said calmly,

"That's possible."

"That guy still can't get over Dressrosa."

"Now that they have the backing of the World Government and have become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, they are naturally even more unscrupulous."

"He sent people to infiltrate Dressrosa, either to gather intelligence or to make arrangements in secret, preparing to take action when the opportunity arises."

Cyrus's face was ashen, and the veins on his hand gripping the document bulged.

"That bastard!"

"Dresrossa is King Riku's country! It's our home!"

"If he dares to lay a hand on me, I'll fight him to the death!"

Roy raised his hand, signaling him to calm down.

"Don't rush."

"This is just speculation; we'll only know the specifics when we get there."

"and--"

A cold smile curled at the corner of his lips.

"The port of Dressrosa is flying the flag of the Roy Pirates."

"That's my flag."

"If Doflamingo dares to make a move, he will be declaring war on me."

"He just became a Shichibukai, and his foundation is not stable. He shouldn't be that stupid."

Cyrus took a deep breath, suppressing his anger.

"Captain Roy, what about us...?"

Roy stood up.

"Get ready, we're leaving tomorrow."

"Take Scarlett and Rebecca, along with a hundred genetic warriors."

"Let Doflamingo's men see who's protecting Dressrosa."

Cyrus nodded solemnly.

"yes!"

......

That afternoon, Roy convened a brief meeting of core members in the conference room.

"Tomorrow, I'm going to Dressrosa."

He got straight to the point.

"Cyrus and Scarlett were taking Rebecca to see King Riku when they happened to run into Doflamingo's men there."

"So, I'll go there myself."

Barrett immediately frowned.

"Roy, you're only taking a hundred men? That's too few. How about I go with you?"

Roy shook his head.

"Need not."

"Honeycomb Island needs you to take charge."

"Mr. Ryder, Mihawk, you both stay."

"Tezzolo, just come with me."

Barrett was about to say something when the Red Earl spoke first.

"Captain Roy, go ahead without worry. We'll take care of Beehive Island."

His voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable confidence.

Hawkeye nodded slightly.

"I will guard the perimeter."

Crocodile exhaled a smoke ring.

"I will continue to monitor the intelligence network, and I will notify you immediately of any unusual activity."

Roy nodded.

"Okay, it's settled then."

He looked at Tezzo.

"Tesoro, is the Ark Maxim ready?"

Tezzolo grinned.

"Everything is ready! We can leave anytime!"

Roy stood up.

"We'll set off first thing tomorrow morning."

......

The next morning, sunlight shone on the main port of Beehive Island.

The Ark Proverb rests quietly in its designated berth, its golden hull gleaming in the sunlight.

On the deck, a hundred genetically engineered soldiers stood in neat rows, each with a tall and straight posture, sharp eyes, and an aura of power far surpassing that of ordinary soldiers.

They are the elite of the elite, all of whom have undergone bloodline transplantation and rigorous training; each one is capable of taking on ten opponents.

Cyrus stood at the bow of the ship, holding little Rebecca in one arm and gripping the hilt of his sword tightly in the other.

His gaze was fixed on the distance, towards Dressrosa.

Scarlett stood beside him, also gazing in that direction, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

That was her hometown.

Her father was there.

There, you'll find the palace, streets, and squares where she grew up...

She hasn't been back for many years.

Rebecca waved her little hands and babbled in Cyrus's arms, completely unaware of the journey that was about to begin.

"Let's go."

Roy's voice came from behind.

He stepped onto the deck, his black trench coat fluttering in the sea breeze.

Behind him, Tesoro followed closely, his body crackling with faint golden arcs of electricity.

The Ark Proverb slowly rose into the air, its golden hull breaking through the clouds and speeding towards Dressrosa.

Behind them, the outline of Beehive Island gradually shrank and eventually disappeared into the sea of ​​clouds.

Ahead, a new storm awaits.

...........

Golden ark maxims drift through the clouds, while sunlight streams through the windows into the spacious cabin.

Rebecca, held in Scarlett's arms, stared wide-eyed at the ever-changing sea of ​​clouds outside the window, making cooing noises.

"This child is really not afraid at all." Tesoro leaned closer and reached out to tease her.

Rebecca stared at his grinning face for two seconds, and then—

"Wow!"

She slapped him across the face.

Although the baby's little hands didn't have much strength, the crisp sound still stunned everyone present.

Immediately, a burst of laughter erupted.

"Hahaha! Tesoro, you've been rejected!" Cyrus laughed so hard he almost fell over.

Scarlett covered her mouth and chuckled softly, her eyes full of tenderness.

Tesoro covered his face, looking aggrieved.

"What...what did I do to deserve this?"

Rebecca giggled, seemingly quite pleased with her "masterpiece".

Roy couldn't help but laugh too.

"This child has character."

"He'll definitely be amazing in the future."

Cyrus grinned.

"That's right! Don't you even know whose daughter she is!"

Tesoro rubbed his face and said sullenly,

"Fine, fine, your daughter is amazing, I admit defeat."
