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

Roy picked up Trafalgar Law's arrest warrant and looked at it.

The photo shows Luo looking the same as always, wearing a polka-dot hat, with tattoos on his fingers, and a bounty of 200 million Berries.

His gaze lingered on the photo for a second, then he put down the wanted poster and activated his Observation Haki.

The color of perception is like an invisible giant net, enveloping the entire Sabaody Archipelago.

He sensed several familiar yet unfamiliar presences—in a corner of the lawless zone, the young man wearing a spotted hat was leading his Heart Pirates on the street.

The aura emanating from Law was far stronger than when he trained on Beehive Island, and the fluctuations of the Op-Op Fruit's power were very stable, clearly indicating that he had not neglected it.

Roy withdrew his Observation Haki and used his Nen to condense an extremely thin line, extending it towards Roy's direction.

At this moment, in the 24th mangrove district of the Sabaody Archipelago, Trafalgar Law is strolling along a commercial street with the members of the Heart Pirates.

Bepo followed behind Law, carrying a large bag of snacks, his mouth stuffed full, his cheeks bulging like a real bear.

Pekin and Xia Qi walked on either side, each carrying supplies they had purchased, occasionally stopping to look at the unusual items displayed by roadside vendors.

Luo suddenly stopped in his tracks.

His crew also stopped, looking at their captain with suspicion.

"Captain, what's wrong?" Bepo asked in a muffled voice, still chewing on some squid strips.

"It's nothing."

Luo's expression remained unchanged, but his fingers unconsciously tightened.

A familiar voice echoed in his mind. He hadn't heard that voice for over two years, but the deep-seated familiarity made him recognize it instantly—it was Roy.

"Luo, come to Mangrove District Thirteen. Shakky's bar, you know where it is."

Luo handed the shopping bag to Pekin, his tone brief:

"Come with me, we're going to see someone."

The members of the Heart Pirates exchanged glances, but having followed Law for so many years, they had long since learned not to ask questions they shouldn't ask.

The three followed Luo through several streets and turned into a deep alley in the Mangrove District at No. 13. When they pushed open the wooden door and entered the bar, this was the scene that greeted them—

Behind the bar stood a woman smoking a cigarette, and in the corner sat a giant bear over two meters tall, holding a book and turning the pages.

The man sitting at the bar, wearing a long black trench coat and with a knife hanging at his waist, was raising his glass towards the door.

"You're here? Have a seat."

Pekin's pupils dilated first.

His gaze swept across Roy's face three or four times, and after confirming that he wasn't seeing things, his legs began to tremble.

Xia Qi whispered in his ear, "That person wouldn't happen to be—",

Pekin nudged him with his elbow, signaling him to shut up.

Bepo blinked, and the snack bag slipped from his arms, falling to the ground with a thud, scattering potato chips all over the floor.

He didn't notice at all, just stared at Roy for several seconds, then suddenly turned to Roy, his voice trembling:

"Captain, he—he—"

"Please sit down."

Luo pulled out a chair and sat down, while the rest of the crew were still in shock at meeting such an important figure.

"Don't be nervous."

Roy pushed another glass of rum in front of Roy, smiled and nodded to Roy's crew, and then looked Roy over seriously.

"You did a good job after you went to sea."

I heard you've taken down quite a few of Doflamingo's strongholds; he's probably furious.

Luo took the wine glass, his fingers finally relaxing a little:

"Have you been paying attention to me?"

"Nonsense, you're mine."

Roy spoke as if it were perfectly reasonable.

"Although you are now the captain of your own ship, you ultimately came from Beehive Island."

For every victory you achieve, the intelligence department will send me a report.

Luo was silent for a moment, then the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

The smile was faint, almost imperceptible, but those who knew him well knew it was a sign that Luo was in a better mood.

"You didn't just call me here to catch up, did you?"

"Of course not."

Roy put down his glass and tapped his fingers lightly twice on the bar.

"The Straw Hat Pirates will be arriving at Sabaody Archipelago soon."

You know Luffy, he gets into trouble wherever he goes.

It's impossible for a bunch of supernovas to get together without causing some trouble.

My request isn't much—just help Luffy out when it matters most.

Luo raised an eyebrow: "It's that simple?"

"It's that simple."

"Of course, it's your freedom to do whatever you want."

Luo picked up his glass, took a sip, then looked at Roy with his dark eyes and nodded seriously.

Bepo finally snapped out of his shock and stammered:

"Captain of the ship—is this really the Heavenly Emperor?"

"That's the one who defeated Big Mom—that's the one—"

"Sit down and eat."

Luo picked up the snack bag that had fallen on the ground and put it back in Bepo's hand.

Roy chuckled at the sight, stood up, and patted Roy on the shoulder.

"Alright, you've met your people, now go do whatever you need to do."

The Sabaody Archipelago will be very lively these days, don't miss the opportunity.

Luo stood up, hesitated for a moment, and then bowed slightly to Luo Yi.

This action stunned his crew—their captain, Trafalgar Law, who struck fear into the hearts of countless pirates in the North Blue, was actually bowing to someone.

Luo offered no explanation, turned and left the bar with his crew.

After stepping out of the bar, Pekin finally couldn't hold back any longer and grabbed Luo's sleeve.

"Captain! You know that guy? He's the boss of Beehive Island! The Heavenly Emperor! The most untouchable person in the entire New World—how do you know him?"

Xia Qi leaned closer, his face full of questions: "And he seemed quite polite to you? What exactly is your relationship?"

Luo didn't stop walking; he simply replied casually at the corner of the alley.

"He was my mentor."

After saying that, he fell silent. The Heart Pirates crew erupted in commotion behind him, with Peggy and Shaki bombarding him with questions about the details.

Bepo jogged after him, picking up the snacks he had dropped along the way, but Law remained silent.

In the bar, Xia Qi lit another cigarette, and her gaze towards Roy held a new layer of scrutiny.

"You even have people working for this year's Supernova. What exactly are you doing in Bush's scheme?"

"I really just came to see the show."

Roy shrugged.

"This year's supernovas are about to meet on this island. With several groups of people gathered on one island, something interesting is bound to happen."

Xia Qi snorted, clearly not believing a word she said. She exhaled a smoke ring, leaned back against the bar, and her tone suddenly became more serious:

"Roy, let me make this clear from the start. I can't control what big moves you make in other seas, but Sabaody Archipelago is where Rayleigh and I live."

If you blow up another street or burn down an auction house—”

No, it won't.

Roy picked up his glass, his gaze passing through the bar window to the bubbles floating down from a mangrove tree in the distance.

"I really won't this time. I'll just sit here and watch the show."

Xia Qi stared at him for several seconds, then sighed.

She has known Roy for over a decade, from a greenhorn who had just entered the Grand Line to a ruler who even the Five Elders find troublesome.

Every time he came to the Sabaody Archipelago, it meant that something big was about to happen on the island, the only difference being whether it was passive or active.

"Does Rayleigh know you're coming?" Shakky suddenly asked.

"have no idea."

Roy put down his glass.

"However, his Observation Haki should have already sensed me."

"Since just now, someone has been watching this area from the direction of Mangrove Tree No. 25."

Xia Qi shook her head helplessly, stubbed out her cigarette, and picked up the rag again to wipe the bar.

She decided to stop asking—it would be pointless anyway.
