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

Looking down from the moon, the blue planet floats silently in the darkness.

The outlines of the Grand Line and the Red Line are clearly visible.

But Roy noticed a detail—the current world map was different from the one in the lunar hologram.

The Grand Line is not natural.

That winding flight path, those unpredictable weather conditions, those strange magnetic fields... they were all man-made.

After the lunar people occupied Qinghai, they used their advanced technology to transform the world's terrain, forming the present-day red earth continent and the Grand Line.

The great kingdom—that's what they founded.

Lunaria – the guardian.

Eight hundred years ago, someone betrayed the great kingdom, seized control of the Heavenly King, and erased all history.

Im—that is, the traitor, or his descendant.

The three ancient weapons—

Uranus was created by humans on the moon; it is a space-based weapon with the greatest power.

Pluto may have been a warship later built by the moon people to rule the seas.

Aquaman is born that way, not artificially created. His most unique characteristic is perhaps the power of the ocean itself, which he uses to counterbalance Uranus.

To seize the world, we must first break the control of the Heavenly King held by Im.

And Jin is the key.

As the Ark broke through the atmosphere, the familiar blue sea reappeared in sight.

The crowd cheered.

"I'm home!"

"Honeycomb Island! Here I come!"

"I want barbecue! Enough for ten people!"

Roy stood at the bow of the ship, watching the approaching Beehive Island, a smile playing on his lips.

Next, it will be a period of quiet development.

The time to truly change the world will come when Luffy sets sail.

...............

The Ark Proverb didn't stop at the main port, but instead sailed directly into the research base's hidden port.

Roy didn't want too many people to know what he had brought back this time.

Mechanical legions, Uranus intelligence, alien technology—if these things got out, the World Government would go crazy.

The port had long been cleared out, with only Stella, Kalifa, and a few others waiting there.

Kaido was there too.

This guy said he was going to drink on Beehive Island for a few days, but he ended up drinking for a month and still hasn't left.

I don't know if he really wanted to drink, or if he was waiting for Roy to bring back something good from the moon.

When the Ark Proverb landed, Kaido was dozing off in his chair.

Hearing the noise, he opened one eye and saw the golden ship falling from the sky, followed by three silver-gray spaceships he had never seen before.

Kaido strode over and looked Roy up and down: "So, how was it? Having fun on the moon?"

"Not bad," Roy smiled. "Quite a haul."

Kaido's eyes lit up: "There must be something good in there! Let me see!"

Roy didn't rush to take anything out; he first had the scientists move the data disks and equipment into the lab.

He briefly explained the details of the trip to the moon to Kaido.

When the mechanical army was mentioned, Kaido slammed his fist on the table: "Twenty thousand robots with the combat strength of a Marine captain?! Really?!"

Roy took a mechanical warrior out of his storage bag and threw it on the ground.

That thing was over three meters tall, with a silver-white paint job, and the blue core on its chest was still glowing.

Although it was in a dormant state, the sense of oppression was real.

Kaido circled around twice, tapped the outer shell, and touched the core, marveling at it.

"Good stuff... really good stuff..."

When the truth about Lunalia was being discussed, Jhin stepped forward.

He was silent for a moment, then spoke in a very low voice.

"My people... were created by the moon people."

He described in detail the murals he saw in the stone hall.

Gene editing, flame core implantation, bone strengthening... it covered everything.

Kaido remained silent for a long time after hearing this.

Then he stood up, walked up to Ember, and slapped him on the shoulder.

"Whether you are born that way or you were created, you are my partner."

King raised his head and looked at Kaido.

Kaido grinned: "What? Touched? Don't give me that!"

Jin didn't speak, but the flames stabilized.

When the topic of Uranus came up, Kaido's eyes widened like saucers.

"Ancient weapons were man-made?! And they could even be shot down from the moon?!"

Roy nodded: "One shot wiped out an island. Even the seawater evaporated."

Kaido gasped.

He had heard of Pluton when he was with the Rocks Pirates; that thing was terrifying enough—it could blast a mountain apart with a single shot. But compared to Uranus, Pluton was just a toy.

"No wonder the World Government has been able to rule for eight hundred years..." Kaido muttered. "With something like this in their hands, who would dare to rebel?"

When the topic of space pirates came up, Kaido was completely speechless.

"Aliens already? This world is fucking huge..."

Roy tossed him the captured energy gun and shield generator.

Kaido took it and examined it repeatedly, growing increasingly alarmed with each glance.

"This thing... is even more advanced than what the World Government developed?"

"Many of Vegapunk's technologies were unearthed from lunar ruins. The World Government keeps them hidden and doesn't share them."

Kaido snorted, "Those guys, they were definitely up to no good."

After Roy finished speaking, Stella and the others were completely dumbfounded.

"You...you went to the moon and brought back something that could overturn the world?" Stella's voice trembled.

Kalifa adjusted her glasses, trying to remain calm: "If these technologies were used for the construction of Hive Island..."

Ginny floated in mid-air, the ghost beside her floating along with her: "I knew the captain was the best!"

Roy smiled and said, "Alright, don't get excited. We've brought the technology back, but it will take time to digest it."

He turned to look at Dr. Gracia.

The doctor, already clutching the data hard drive, eyes gleaming, muttered to himself, "Energy shield technology... Mech warrior maintenance and manufacturing manual... Lunaria modification data... My God... This is enough for me to study for a lifetime!"

"Doctor, the first batch of research projects—"

"I know, I know!"

Dr. Gracia interrupted him.

"Energy shield priority, immediately deploy to the Hive Island defense system."

Master the maintenance and mass production of the mechanical warriors as soon as possible.

Lunaria's modification technology optimizes bloodline transplantation.

Energy technology enhances the performance of Ark Proverb.

Upgrade existing weapon systems.

Roy paused, then added:

"And the technologies of the Star Pirates—miniaturized energy shields, light-speed engines, space jumps... Although most of them are incomplete, the basic framework is still there, and we'll restore as much as we can."

Roy nodded in satisfaction.

In the days that followed, Beehive Island entered a period of rapid but low-key development.

With the energy shield in place, scientists led by Dr. Gracia mastered the technology in just two months.

Three months later, the research base on Beehive Island was covered with a semi-transparent energy shield.

Roy tested it himself—he punched the shield with all his might, and the shield wobbled but didn't break.

"It can withstand an attack from a general-level enemy for a short period of time."

"That's enough."
