One Piece: Lord of Disaster.

Chapter 359 Sweet Romance! Hades Appears!

Katakuri felt that Roa had been acting very strangely these past few days.

That kid was practically inseparable from those two women from the original Kuja Pirates every single moment.

Everyone knows that Roya is a lecherous brat.

Robin and Hancock from the original Kuja Pirates were indeed stunningly beautiful women, especially Hancock.

However, they have been in Luo Ya's hands for quite some time now. Even if Luo Ya is not a fickle person, it is unlikely that he is still so obsessed with them to this day.
Like now, he wanted to invite his best buddies to a donut party after a long time, but this guy still brought those two women along.

They were arm in arm, so affectionate they were practically inseparable.

"Today's perfume... is very special."

Roya ignored the mountain of donuts piled up in front of him, instead burying his head deeply in Hancock's elegant neck.

His warm breath fell on her delicate skin, and he inhaled her fragrance as if savoring a fine vintage wine.

“Chosen especially for you,”

Robin, sitting on the other side, sipped her black tea, a slight smile playing on her lips. "These past few days we've been changing our makeup and fragrance every day. Hancock was initially very reluctant, and it took me a lot of persuasion."

"I want you to talk more."

Hancock's ears turned red, and she awkwardly turned her head away.

Despite having already had various intimate encounters with Roya, at this moment, the most beautiful woman in the world acted like a young girl experiencing love for the first time.

When Luo Ya's fingertips lightly brushed against her collarbone, she suddenly grabbed his collar and glared at him fiercely, "Since...since I've gone to such lengths for you, you'd better give me your heart soon!"

"Haven't I already captured my heart long ago?"

Luo Ya chuckled and tilted his head back, placing a soft, feather-like kiss on her slightly parted lips.

Looking at her suddenly flushed cheeks, he mischievously rubbed his nose against her burning earlobe. "But this way of saying one thing and meaning another is what fascinates me even more."

"...Insolent scoundrel!"

Hancock turned her face away in embarrassment and annoyance, but let his hand linger on her waist.

The white camellia in her hair trembled gently with her movements, just like the throbbing emotions in her heart at that moment.

Robin said that there was no point in pretending.

What they need to do is forget everything from before and truly fall in love with Roya.

This monster has never experienced love since childhood. If he could truly be taught what love is, then this born demon might undergo some change.

Therefore, Hancock tried very hard to show her true self in front of Roja.

The real Hancock, besides being a powerful pirate, is also a pure-hearted woman.

Although Luo Ya had done all sorts of intimate things with her countless times, her heart was still pure.

Robin grabbed Roya's hand, her eyelids fluttering slightly, a suggestive glint in her moist eyes. "Won't you try my side, Roya?"

Roya chuckled, then took her wrist and pulled her into his arms, giving her a light kiss. "Mmm, so much sweeter than Katakuri's donuts!"

The three of them breathed together, their breaths rising and mingling with the sweet aroma of the dessert.

Only Katakuri, sitting across the table, had a long face, stuffing donuts into his mouth while speaking in a completely flat tone, "Roya, what are you doing? Are you looking down on the donuts I carefully prepared?"

"There's nothing I can do, my good brother,"

Amidst his busy schedule, Luo Ya looked up with a smile and said, "I'm already savoring something even sweeter and more delicious."

Katakuri's mouth was stuffed full, but he still tried his best to maintain a blank expression. "So the dessert I carefully prepared is not as good as your mushy lovey-dovey stuff?"

"I think you don't understand at all, my friend,"

Luo Ya said with a smile, "The sweetness released by love is something that no dessert can match."

"love?"

Katakuri's lips twitched slightly. "Is this yet another new method of torture?"

"What are you talking about? It's a real relationship."

Luo Ya said with a serious expression, "I really can't reason with a bachelor like you who's over forty. The pure love between young boys and girls is a treasure of this world."

"What utter nonsense are you spouting!"

Katakuri couldn't help but roll his eyes. "You, who were playing battle royale on Beehive Island when you were just a few years old, taking pleasure in torturing people, are you talking about love here? Does the word 'pure' have even the slightest connection to you?"

"One yard owned by a yard."

Roya argued, "Besides, I was only a few years old then, just a child. God forgives children when they make mistakes!"

"That God is truly merciful,"

Katakuri scoffed, "I've forgiven you since you were a child."

"Wait, Roya, Battle Royale, what's that?"

Seeing that Roya was already fully engaged in conversation with Katakuri, Robin couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Although he kept saying he was fascinated by them, his every move was indeed full of ambiguity.

But she knew very well that it was still a long way off before Roya could truly fall in love with them.

Through these past few days of truly close contact, she has come to understand that Roya lacks empathy for humans.

Simply put, in his eyes, humans are not even the same species as him.

Or, to put it another way, everything in this world was insignificant to him.

However, Roya is not truly devoid of emotions.

At least Katakuri, who was standing right in front of him, was a friend he truly acknowledged.

Although this guy seems to be in the way right now.

"That one,"

Roya was instantly lost in memories because of Robin's question. "That happened when I was six years old!"

"I found four pirate crews on Beehive Island, and then announced to all the pirates on the island that they had become the prey. Then, all the pirates on Beehive Island began a grand hunting expedition."

"I will never forget the way those guys ran away crying and desperately resisting. Thinking about it now, I really miss it."

Luo Ya sighed, "But we can't go back. Humans are such greedy creatures. When we were kids, we could have found happiness so easily."

"But once you grow up, even if you destroy a country, you can never get that kind of happiness again. Childhood is gone forever."

"Hahahaha!"

Katakuri couldn't help but laugh out loud, shaking his head as he laughed, "You—you haven't changed at all in all these years."

"Just to become stronger?"

Hancock instinctively gripped Roya's hand tightly.

He told them that human suffering could make Roya stronger.

"okokokok."

Roya nodded repeatedly, complaining, "My ability is troublesome, isn't it? Only human suffering can make me evolve! I have no choice."

"but,"

As if he had thought of something, he grinned and added, "On the other hand, there was also the reason that we were bored at the time."

"Are you bored?"

Robin did feel a sense of powerlessness at that moment.

Can this guy really change things?
But the next moment, Robin reaffirmed her belief.

There's no other way!

"From now on, we will always be by your side,"

Robin leaned gently on Roya's shoulder and whispered, "I won't let you get bored anymore."

"Oh?"

Katakuri, who was munching on a donut, raised an eyebrow. "Finally, I understand. Hey, Roja, these two women aren't hoping to change you with some kind of love, are they?"

"When you love someone, you will try your best to become a better person. They want me to become a better person."

Luo Ya smiled and said, "Isn't it a very simple principle?"

"Hahahahaha!"

Katakuri burst into laughter, doubled over with mirth. "Such a thing actually happened?"

These two women are really hilarious!

How can someone like Roya, who is born a bad seed, be changed?

Even death probably cannot erase the malice etched deep in his soul!

Robin and Hancock didn't react to Katakuri's mockery.

That's all they can do.

"Seriously, as a good brother, can't you wish me well for once, Katakuri!"

Luo Ya said irritably, "Just enjoy your donuts and don't bother my sweet romance!"

"I don't care about love or not."

Katakuri scoffed, "Are you going to eat the donut or not?"

"You guy-"

Luo Ya sighed helplessly, "I really can't do anything with you."

As he spoke, he picked up a donut and stuffed it into his mouth, not forgetting to mumble to Robin and the other man, "You two should try it too. This guy only has decent taste when it comes to donuts."

"Then I'll have to try it."

As Robin said this, he also picked up a donut.

Indeed, Katakuri is a very special person to Roa.

This born monster also has normal human emotions!
He simply doesn't respect others and doesn't treat everyone else in the world as part of the same species, which is why he's so cold and ruthless!

His innate strength distorted his worldview!

Robin thought to herself, perhaps Roya was actually a very pitiful person?
While the group was quietly enjoying their donuts.

Dylan rushed in, pushing the door open. "Boss! We've arrived in Wano Country!"

"Oh?"

The colossal city of natural disaster and the equally colossal Uranus floated silently above Wano Country.

Roya stood on the edge of the sea of ​​clouds surrounding the city of natural disaster, quietly looking down at the country below.

It's been many years since I've returned to Wano Country. Come to think of it, how many years has it been since I conquered this country with Kaido? Well, it seems like it was only five or six years ago.

"So, Roya,"

The golden lion asked with great interest, "How do you plan to retrieve Hades?"

The high-ranking members of the pirate alliance gathered around Roya.

They did not go to war.

It was the high-ranking naval officers, who had transformed into ghouls, who led the attack; Roya thought that would be more interesting.

"Mommy, Mommy, Hades is buried underground in Wano Country,"

Charlotte Linlin grinned, "Should we just blow this island apart?"

Robin, standing to Roja's right, visibly tensed up.

There's no need to go to that extent. With Roja's current power, wouldn't it be an easy thing for him to open Wano Country to the world?
But she didn't say that.

She wanted to give Roya her wholehearted love, so she couldn't do anything that would make Roya unhappy.

"Break through?"

Roya chuckled softly, his Observation Haki sweeping across the area slightly, and almost instantly, "Oh! Found it! In that case, there's an even faster way, but I wonder if you, Brother Kaido, are willing to give it up?"

"Humph,"

Kaido sneered, "What is this country now? Do whatever you want with it!"

"That's no problem."

Roya raised his hand and gently pressed it into the air. "Wano Country, I hope you're not too fragile."

At first, there was no sound at all.

On the streets of the Flower City, a few scattered pedestrians still hurried along.

Thick smoke continues to billow into the sky from factories outside the city.

In the mines of Udon, laborers are still working hard to extract ore.

But the next moment, the entire Wano Country began to shake violently.

"earthquake?"

People across the country screamed in terror almost simultaneously.

But the real disaster was only just beginning.

This is the city of flowers.

The ground in the center of the city suddenly arched upwards, forming a mountain range. The bluestone pavement cracked inch by inch, and the houses were torn apart as if they were made of paper.

The mountain existed for only a moment. The next instant, the mountain shattered, and a crimson pillar of fire shot into the sky, turning the dim sky blood red.

That was not an ordinary volcanic eruption.

The entire earth was erupting upwards.

Lava erupted from the ground like a fountain, shooting thousands of meters into the air before falling back down like raindrops.

The volcano suddenly expanded in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, most of the Flower Capital was turned into a fountain of lava, and everything within its range was directly swallowed up.

However, this does not mean that people outside the crater are safe.

"Run away!"

A scream erupted instantly.

Where can we escape to?
Lava fell like a torrential rain, instantly smashing houses to pieces and melting those who were touched by it.

The entire Flower Capital was destroyed in an instant.

As volcanic ash billowed into the sky, lava rain began to spread towards the surrounding area.

But this wasn't even the main damage.

earthquake.

At the moment of the volcanic eruption, Wano Country was struck by an unprecedented super earthquake.

The earth shattered, and the mountains collapsed.

The land of Wano Country, which was surrounded by the Inland Sea, had been directly broken into pieces and began to sink.

"Ah, I forgot that Wano Country's current territory is actually a floating island that was built later!"

On the city of natural disaster, Roya looked as if he had just woken up from a dream.

The original territory of Wano Country was submerged long ago due to the formation of the Inland Sea. The current territory was formed later based on the large mountain in the center of the country. It is located halfway up the mountain and is very vulnerable.

Now there are both volcanoes and earthquakes, which have directly caused the land to collapse.

"Hahaha! You really are something else! This country is completely finished now!"

The golden lion laughed heartily.

Robin and Hancock both turned their heads away, avoiding looking at the country below that was already in a state of destruction.

A country can be destroyed simply by lifting a finger.

Roya—as expected, it's virtually impossible to save the world by fighting against him.

"Oh?"

Just then, Roya's eyes suddenly lit up, "They're here!"

Just as the country was on the verge of destruction, the eruption column at the very center of the volcano suddenly became even more violent.

A colossal, pitch-black object was suddenly propelled high into the sky by lava.

Hades has appeared in the world!
