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

Kizaru's laser.

The thought flashed through Roy's mind.

The next second, countless laser beams erupted from the launch port, so densely packed that they resembled a rain of light, shooting towards Roy and his two companions in a deluge.

Roy raised his right hand, and a psychic barrier silently unfolded.

The lightning bolts, powerful enough to pierce steel, struck the psychic barrier, creating ripples that spread outwards, but ultimately none of them managed to penetrate it.

The sound of the laser hitting the barrier was like hail hitting a tin roof, dense and piercing.

During this process, Roy noticed a detail.

The laser's attacks were almost entirely focused on himself and Kaido.

Especially for himself, at least half of the beams of light were aimed at him.

As for Jhin, he had very few lasers around him. Occasionally, one or two would accidentally drift by, but they would only glide past the hem of his clothes.

Jhin had clearly noticed this as well. He turned his head slightly to look at Roy, his eyes behind his sunglasses asking a question.

Roy already had a guess in his mind.

The creators of Hades were not ordinary humans.

If this warship is indeed a legacy left by the moon people,

Its remaining defense mechanisms likely have some kind of recognition function for the descendants of the moon people—the Lunarians.

Ember's wings, Ember's white hair, and Ember's brown skin are all symbols of the Lunaria race.

This warship will not attack the descendants of its creator.

Having figured this out, Roy withdrew his hand that was about to push the door open again.

"Let's not go in yet."

Roy's tone returned to its usual casualness.

"The ship's defense system is still operational; forcibly breaking down the door could trigger something."

The most urgent task now is to get Pluto to Beehive Island so that Master Tom can study him at his leisure.

He has the blueprints; he's better at dealing with this kind of ancient technology than we are.

Although Kaido was eager to see what the inside of the ship's cabin looked like right now, he also knew that Roy was right.

He didn't want this ancient weapon, which he had finally acquired, to be ruined in his hands.

"Okay! So how do we get it out?"

Roy smiled and waved his hand casually.

"You guys be careful."

Kaido and King exchanged a glance and stood quietly on the deck.

Roy stood in the center of the deck, arms outstretched, palms facing up.

His psychic power surged out like a tsunami.

This time, the psychic power output was unleashed without any reservation, going all out.

The entire underground dock emitted a low hum under the pressure of psychic energy, and the fluorescent minerals overhead flickered on and off.

The water surface trembled violently, and countless tiny water droplets were shaken up from the surface and suspended in mid-air.

The massive Hades warship was completely enveloped by telekinesis.

The seawater on the ship's hull was completely expelled under the pressure of telekinesis, reducing the weight of the entire warship.

The unimaginable total weight of tens of thousands of tons of metal, wood, and weapons was all placed on Roy's telekinetic power.

Roy took a deep breath and slowly pressed his hands down.

The Pluto warship trembled slowly, the sea surface parted, and the entire Pluto warship, carrying Roy and the other two, sank again.

Kaido tilted his head back, looking at the water that was blocked above him. He remained silent for several seconds, then let out a low sigh from deep in his throat.

"Roy, your ability—is ridiculously convenient."

When he said this, there was a rare hint of envy in his tone.

It's not that I envy anything else, I just envy Roy for being able to go into the water so easily.

As a Devil Fruit user who can't swim, Kaido's biggest fear in life is falling into the sea.

Roy is not only unafraid of seawater, but he can also use his telekinesis to push seawater away, allowing him to move freely on the seabed.

This ability is simply heaven-defying for pirates.

Roy had no time to pay attention to Kaido's lament. He steered the Pluton battleship away from the cave below.

Only when their Observation Haki detected the encirclement wall of Wano Country ahead did they control the warship to ascend.

"superior!"

Roy gave a low shout and pushed his hands upwards sharply.

The Pluto warship began to slowly rise towards the surface of the sea above.

Just then, the Den Den Mushi in Roy's arms suddenly rang.

The rapid "beep beep beep" sound was particularly jarring in the empty underground space.

Roy maintained his telekinetic output with one hand while taking out a Den Den Mushi from his pocket with the other.

As soon as the Den Den Mushi was connected, Barrett's gruff voice boomed out.

"Roy! Something's happened!"

"explain."

"Something big has happened in the New World!"

The fleets of Shiki and Big Mom moved simultaneously, both heading towards Wano Country!

The news somehow leaked out, and now the entire ocean knows you've found Pluto.

Even the intelligence network surrounding Beehive Island has received reports of unusual activity from the Navy!

Roy's brow furrowed slightly, but quickly relaxed.

He knew all along that the news would be leaked.

From the moment the search for Kozuki Sukiyaki began in earnest, the news could no longer be kept secret.

There's no doubt that the World Government has spies within the Beasts Pirates.

He just didn't expect the Five Elders to act so quickly, leaking the news to Golden Lion and Big Mom.

This is to let them fight each other, and then come out and take advantage of the situation when they've fought each other to a large extent.

"Barrett, listen carefully. Have the Red Earl take Savile, Charon, Pea, Balliew, and the others to guard Beehive Island."

The island holds too many secrets; it needs someone to guard it.

"The rest..."

Roy's tone was completely flat, as if he were assigning a perfectly ordinary daily task.

"Take Mihawk, Tesoro, Crocodile, Kuma, Cyrus, Moria, and Lucci, and set off together."

The Ark Proverb is heading towards the Land of Harmony at top speed.

I'm currently retrieving Pluto; you know the location of Wano Country.

Contact me via Den Den Mushi once you get nearby.

Barrett was silent for a second.

"Understood."

Then he hung up the phone.

Beehive Island, Royal Palace.

Barrett put down the Den Den Mushi and turned to face the core executives who had already assembled in the main hall.

Tesoro hovered in mid-air, his body crackling with lightning more intensely than usual.

Hawkeye leaned against the pillar, Black Blade Night was already behind him, and a faint fighting spirit flickered in his hawk-like eyes.

Crocodile, a cigar dangling from his lips, stood next to Hawkeye, his expression calm, but his fingers were constantly stroking the tip of the golden hook.

Besides them, there were Cyrus, Moria, Yamato, Burgess, Van Augur, Kazami...

Everyone is ready for battle.

Barrett looked around and his gaze settled on the Red Earl.

Redfield, you stay.

The laboratories, treasure troves, training camps, and trade network hubs on Beehive Island all need to be guarded.

Aside from me and Roy, you're the strongest on the island.

"It's up to you now."

The Red Earl leaned against the shadows beside the throne, his blood-red eyes gleaming with a cold light in the darkness.

He didn't speak, but simply nodded slightly.

Barrett then turned to the four men: Kuma, Cyrus, Moria, and Lucci.

"You shall also set off."

The others who weren't called on immediately protested and clamored to follow suit.
