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

"Captain Roy."

Roy turned his head, and Granny New stood in front of him, her wrinkled face still showing a hint of wariness as if she were looking at a "human trafficker who abducts underage girls".

But her tone was much gentler than before.

"What's your opinion on the Nine Snake Island matter?" Roy asked.

Grandma New sighed and turned to look at Hancock.

From the moment she walked in, the little girl's eyes never left Roy—

Anyone could see the adoration and joy in their eyes.

"Can I say no?"

Grandma Niu's tone carried a hint of helplessness.

"You've seen that girl's temper too."

"If we really don't let her go, she could tear down the palace on Amazon Lily."

Hancock blushed and lowered her head.

"Captain Roy."

Grandma Niu's eyes turned serious.

"Hancock can go with you to Beehive Island, and her two sisters can come along too."

But you must grant me two conditions.

"you say."

"First, Hancock must return to Amazon Lily and assume the responsibilities of Empress. Amazon Lily needs her."

"no problem."

"Second—" Granny New stared at Roy, "If you dare to have any wicked thoughts about them before they come of age, I will risk my old life to take you down with me."

Roy was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter:

"Don't worry. I'm not interested in kids."

Grandma Niu snorted, but her tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed.

She looked at Hancock, at this girl who had been captured by the Celestial Dragons since childhood, suffered endless torment, was finally rescued by Roy, and now had to devote her heart to the same man. A complex emotion flashed in her eyes.

"Hancock".

Grandma Niu's voice was hoarse.

"Once we arrive at Beehive Island, we should cultivate diligently."

Don't embarrass yourself by inheriting the title of Empress.

Hancock looked up, trying to appear solemn, but her trembling voice betrayed her excitement:

"I know, Mother-in-law!"

Her gaze passed over Granny New and landed on Roy, her eyes overflowing with adoration.

We can go to Beehive Island now, and we can go with Lord Roy.

Early morning, a port in the Sabaody Archipelago.

The Ark Proverb docked at the harbor, the hatch opened, and people boarded the ship one after another.

The three Hancock sisters followed Roy, while the two Kuja warriors followed Granny New as they prepared to return to Kuja Island.

Wolfgang, a fur warrior; Longhand, a craftsman; a dwarf girl...

All of the dozen or so freed slaves chose to follow Roy to Beehive Island.

On the other side of the port, Shanks led the Red-Haired Pirates aboard the Red Fox.

Two ships were moored side by side in the harbor, their sails fluttering in the sea breeze.

Shanks stood at the bow of the ship, the brim of his straw hat fluttering slightly in the sea breeze.

He looked at Roy on the Ark's Proverbs and grinned: "Roy!"

Roy turned his head.

"The next time we meet will be in the new world!"

Shanks patted the Griffin at his waist.

"By then, I won't be left behind by you anymore!"

Roy smiled. "I'll be waiting."

Shanks then looked at Rayleigh and Shakky standing next to Roy, took off his straw hat, and bowed respectfully.

Rayleigh waved his hand without saying a word.

But those eyes, hidden behind the glasses, were full of satisfaction.

Bathed in the morning sun, the two ships simultaneously raised their sails and set sail.

The hull of the Ark of Proverbs shimmered in the sunlight, transforming into a golden trail as it sailed into the depths of the sea.

The Red Fosse, on the other hand, was slowly descending in another direction, towards Fishman Island.

The Sabaody Archipelago gradually receded into the distance, swallowed by the morning mist.

At the entrance of the bamboo bar, Rayleigh and Shakky stood side by side, watching the two ships disappear into the distance.

"They're all gone." Xia Qi said, a cigarette dangling from her lips, her voice a little hoarse.

"yes."

Rayleigh adjusted his glasses, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"The ship of the new era has set sail."

…………………………………………………………………………………

The Ark Proverb flew steadily above the clouds, its golden hull breaking through the sea of ​​clouds, and the sunlight shone warmly on the deck.

But the world below has already erupted in chaos.

World Economic News Agency, headquarters building.

Morgans stood in front of the printing press, looking at the first newspaper that had just come out of the press.

The headline was printed in bold, large font in the most prominent position in the newspaper, accompanied by a photograph.

Under the night sky of the Sabaody Archipelago, the Golden City Auction House collapsed in flames, thick smoke billowing into the sky.

The Heavenly Emperor slaughters Sabaody Archipelago! Celestial Dragons perish! Even the Four Admirals of the Navy cannot stop him!

Morgans twirled the quill pen in his hand, a satisfied smile playing on his lips.

He stayed up all night to finish this headline.

From the moment he received the tip from the Navy informant, he knew this would be another "big news".

He turned to the second page of the newspaper, which was entirely filled with detailed reports on the entire incident—

The auction incident, the death of a Celestial Dragon (a message released by the Navy), Roy and Shanks fighting against four Admiral-level fighters, and the theft of the Celestial Gold.

He checked every detail repeatedly to ensure that no crucial information was missed.

"President!"

An editor burst through the door, his face beaming with excitement. "The first edition is completely printed! Should we reprint it?"

Morgans put down the newspaper and flapped his wings slightly.

"Print another one million copies."

Within an hour, I want this newspaper to appear in every corner of the Grand Line, the four seas, and the New World.

The editor gasped.

One million copies—this nearly pushed their printing capacity to its limit.

But Morgans’ tone left no room for argument.

Having worked in the news industry for decades, he understands the significance of this headline better than anyone else.

If a Celestial Dragon dies, the Navy can no longer cover it up, the World Government will be furious, and the Five Elders will issue the highest-level global arrest warrant.

But what Morgans wanted was never permission from the world government; what he wanted was the truth.

Only by revealing the truth to the public can he, as the president of the World Economic News Agency, have lived up to his mission.

Meanwhile, in Mary Geoise, at Pangaea.

The force with which Satan slammed the newspaper onto the table shook the entire conference room.

"Morgans...that jerk!!!"

His face was ashen.

The newspaper was crumpled under his fist, but the headline was still clearly visible.

Piet Saint's expression was equally grim:

"How dare Morgans expose all these things?"

The deaths of the Celestial Dragons—these things were written clearly in the newspapers!

Is the information blackout in Sabaody Archipelago just for show?!

"What's the point of blaming Morgans?"

"That guy has never been afraid of the World Government."

Sacred Vochuli spoke coldly.

"The question now is, what should we do?"

A brief silence fell over the meeting room.

Although the Five Elders wield the highest power in the world, they have been repeatedly thwarted by Roy.

From the Pure Gold Incident to the Celestial Gold Robbery, from the destruction of the Knights of God to the death of the Celestial Dragons—

That man was like an unbreakable rock, always getting stuck in the World Government's throat, impossible to swallow or spit out.

Satan took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

"First, Roy's bounty has been increased to 4.5 billion Berries."

A global bounty of 100 million Berries has been issued for Roy's whereabouts.

Pittor frowned: "A bounty of 4.5 billion?"

This is a bounty comparable to that of the Whitebeard.

"He already is."

Satan Saint said coldly,

"Second, the Navy is ordered to thoroughly investigate the truth behind the Celestial Dragons' deaths."

We must give an explanation regarding the Warring States period.

third--"

He paused, his voice very low.

"Contact all member states to strengthen the protection of the celestial gold."

If Roy can steal a ship full of heavenly gold this time, he can steal a second ship next time.

The world government's financial foundation cannot be destroyed in his hands alone.

The five people fell silent.

The oppressive silence in the meeting room was the only indication of the Five Elders' attitude towards Roy.

They couldn't do anything about Roy.

All we can do is wait, wait for a real opportunity to suppress the Heavenly Emperor.
