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

The man froze, then turned around abruptly.

A pale-faced man wearing a top hat was smiling at him.

"Friend, is the fishing net torn?"

Lafayette's voice was gentle and kind.

But the man's back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.

"Yes...yes..."

He chuckled dryly, "With a little repair, it can still be used..."

Raphael nodded. "Very good, very good."

"but--"

He leaned close to the man's ear and lowered his voice.

"When did the white-bearded man learn to mend fishing nets?"

The man's face turned deathly pale instantly.

He suddenly reached into his robes, trying to pull out his weapon.

But the next second—

"Bang—!"

A gunshot rang out, and his body froze instantly, blood slowly flowing from his chest.

"Hurry up, Lafayette."

A lazy voice came from the alley entrance.

Van Augur, carrying a long spear, slowly walked in.

......

Meanwhile, in the Beehive Island commercial district.

In a tavern, several men dressed as merchants sat in a corner, talking in hushed tones.

"How's it going? Any discoveries?"

"No. That Roy just stays in the palace all day and never comes out."

"Where are the patrols?"

"The patrol team is quite diligent, but there's nothing particularly special about them."

"Keep watching. It's Mother's order; we must find a clue to the pure gold."

Just then—

The tavern door was pushed open.

Count Red walked in slowly.

He was dressed in a deep red aristocratic suit, holding an exquisite cane, exuding elegance and composure.

Those red eyes swept lightly over everyone in the tavern.

Then he smiled.

That smile was gentle and elegant.

"Gentlemen, what are you talking about?"

He walked up to the group of merchants and sat down by himself.

The merchants exchanged glances, a hint of wariness flashing in their eyes.

"Sir, we don't think we know you?"

One of them forced a smile.

Count Red nodded. "I really don't recognize him."

"but--"

He paused, his red eyes fixed on the person who had spoken.

"When did Charlotte's family spies learn to do business?"

The man's face turned deathly pale instantly.

He suddenly stood up, ready to make a move.

But the Red Earl simply raised his cane and tapped it on his chest.

"Go to sleep."

The man's eyes rolled back, and he immediately fainted.

The others tried to escape, but found they couldn't move their bodies at all.

Count Red picked up the wine glass on the table and took a small sip.

"take it easy."

"I'd just like to invite you to have a cup of tea."

......

Over three days, a silent purge was launched on Beehive Island.

Crocodile's intelligence network precisely identified every suspicious target.

The Red Earl's mind-reading ability leaves no room for imposters to hide.

Roy's telekinetic domain covered the entire island, and no anomaly could escape his perception.

Lafayette, Van Auger, and Burgess began to distinguish themselves during the operation.

Lafayette's hypnotic techniques made the spies reveal all their secrets in their sleep.

Van Augur's sniper rifle blocked all escape routes.

Burgess's terrifying power made any resistance seem laughable.

Three days later—

Main Island Plaza.

Rows of people, bound hand and foot, knelt on the ground.

There were fishermen, merchants, tourists, and homeless people...

There were even a few guys wearing navy uniforms.

Crocodile walked up to Roy and handed him a list.

"Captain, cleanup complete."

"A total of eighty-seven people."

"Over there by the white-bearded man, seventeen."

"Over with Big Mom, there are twenty-three."

"Eleven over on the Golden Lion's side."

"Nine from the navy."

"Seven from the World Government side."

"Twenty in the underworld."

Roy took the list, glanced at it, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"Eighty-seven..."

"There are quite a lot."

He walked up to the spies and looked down at them.

Some of the spies had their heads down and were trembling.

Some held their heads high, their faces full of defiance.

Some eyes were filled with fear, while others were filled with anger.

Roy's gaze swept across their faces.

A smile gradually appeared on his face, calm and gentle.

But to those spies, it was like the smile of a devil.

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone."

Roy spoke slowly,

"We've stayed on Beehive Island for so many days, and they haven't treated us well."

"Today, I'm seeing you all off on your journey."

He raised his hand and waved it gently.

An invisible force of thought instantly enveloped the spies.

Under everyone's gaze, these spies from other forces all clutched their necks and floated up. With a series of cracking sounds, most of the spies twisted their necks and instantly lost their lives.

Looking at the remaining spies that Roy had specially given to each faction,

Roy flicked his finger,

Those people were all sent flying out at once, like cannonballs, heading towards the edge of the island!

Some fell into the sea, some landed on the beach, and some hung in the trees...

Screams rose and fell.

But Roy didn't even glance at them, and turned to walk towards the palace.

"Tell your master—"

"If you want to steal pure gold, then come on."

"But next time, I won't be so polite."

His voice clearly reached everyone's ears.

The spies scrambled to their feet and fled to their respective ships.

Soon, small boats began to flee in panic from the waters surrounding Beehive Island.

The news quickly spread across the sea—

During the cleanup of spies on Beehive Island, more than eighty people were killed without exception.

Emperor Luo Yi of the Heavenly Dao made a harsh statement—

If you want to steal pure gold, go ahead.

......

The Whitebeard Pirates, Moby Dick.

Marco looked at the report in his hand and couldn't help but laugh.

"That guy is ruthless."

"Eighty-seven spies, one for each faction, kill the rest."

Diamond Jozu looked at the trembling pirate who had returned with the news.

"Is there one messenger left?"

"What does he mean?"

Marco's smile faded as he looked towards the distant Beehive Island.

"It means—"

"He's not afraid."

"Let us do whatever we want."

......

Big Mom Pirates, Queen Mom Singing Ship.

Katakuri looked at the scout who had fled back in a sorry state, his face grim.

"waste."

He said coldly.

Smoothie frowned. "Katakuri-nii-san, what's Roy doing...?"

Katakuri was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke.

"He's protesting."

Tell us, he's not afraid.

"Let us come on."

......

Flying Pirates, Floating Island.

Shiki the Golden Lion looked at the spies who were soaking wet and burst into laughter.

"Hehehehe!!!"

"Interesting! So interesting!"

"That kid Roy's got even more guts than I thought!"

He laughed loudly, his eyes flashing with a mad light.

"Once pure gold appears, I'll personally confront him!"

......

Beehive Island, the main island palace.

Roy stood by the window, watching the small boats fleeing in panic in the distance, a faint smile playing on his lips.

Just then, footsteps sounded behind me.

Dr. Gracia strode in, carrying an exquisite wooden box.

"Captain, it's ready!"

He opened the wooden box.

A dazzling golden light instantly illuminated the entire room!

That light was warm and dazzling, as if it contained endless vitality!

Roy looked at the fist-sized "pure gold" and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

"very good."

He closed the wooden box and looked out the window into the distance.

Whitebeard, Big Mom, Golden Lion...

Navy, Knights of God, the underworld...

Come on, everyone.

The more the better.

The show is about to begin.

A meaningful smile appeared on his lips.

"The real hunt—"

"This is just the beginning."
