Chapter 275: Converging on Dressrosa
White-White Sea · Above the Clouds
Roy stood alone high in the sky, a continuous sea of clouds beneath his feet. His Justice coat flapped loudly in the roaring wind. The distant sun shone diagonally, plating his figure in a faint golden glow.
He looked down, his thoughts churning:
Nami was deeply studying the mysteries of meteorology in Weatheria. In the future, combined with the Devil Fruit he had prepared for her, her strength would definitely undergo a qualitative transformation.
Zoro and Kuina were in secluded training under Mihawk's guidance. Their swordsmanship could experience a breakthrough at any moment.
Luffy and Ace were currently following Gion to Hachinosu to crusade against Ochoku. They would surely turn the place upside down.
Just then, the Den Den Mushi in his coat suddenly rang: "Buru buru buru—Kacha!"
Roy took out the Den Den Mushi and answered calmly.
Law's cool voice came from the snail shell: "Big Brother Roy, that person you asked me to keep an eye on... has appeared."
Roy raised an eyebrow. "Location."
"Dressrosa."
Hearing this name, a sharp glint flashed through Roy's eyes, followed by a smile. "Interesting..."
As his voice fell, spatial ripples rippled out, and his figure abruptly vanished from the clouds.
...
Meanwhile, Amazon Lily · The Empress's Palace
In the isolated Amazon Lily, the morning mist had yet to disperse, but a heavy atmosphere filled the Empress's palace.
Shakky stood in front of the wide floor-to-ceiling windows, wearing a simple robe with her arms crossed. She stared gloomily at the distant sea, anger flickering in the depths of her eyes.
Rayleigh half-leaned on a soft couch, the white hair at his temples swaying slightly in the breeze. Over the past half year, although his injuries had recovered slightly, his movements remained arduous. Every breath he took carried a heavy pant.
Hancock sat on the throne, her slender fingers rhythmically tapping the armrest. Her ruby lips parted slightly, her voice as cold as frost:
"The palace doctors have done their best, but his spine was completely severed. Ordinary medical treatments are completely useless!"
"That bastard Roy... sooner or later, I will make him pay the price!!!"
The palace doors suddenly opened, and a short, thin, yet steady figure walked in.
It was none other than the former member of the Rocks Pirates and the Empress of Amazon Lily from three generations ago—Gloriosa (Elder Nyon). Her footsteps echoed on the marble floor, a trace of gravity on her face.
"I found a way," Gloriosa spoke in a low voice. "It might be able to completely cure Rayleigh's injuries."
Shakky spun around abruptly, her eyes as sharp as an eagle's. "What way?"
Gloriosa slowly spat out a few words: "The Heal-Heal Fruit."
As these words fell, the entire palace fell into a brief silence.
Then, Shakky's pupils shrank, her voice articulating every syllable: "The Heal-Heal Fruit... The legendary Devil Fruit capable of curing any injury, even regenerating severed limbs?"
Gloriosa nodded, her expression stern. "Yes."
"According to intelligence from the underground black market, a special ability user recently appeared in Dressrosa. It's said to be the daughter of the Tontatta Tribe's chief, possessing extremely rare healing powers."
"Dressrosa..."
Rayleigh slowly opened his eyes, his voice hoarse but still steady. "Isn't that the kingdom Doflamingo wanted to seize before? Ever since Doflamingo was captured and thrown into Impel Down by Roy, the kingdom is now ruled by the Riku Royal Family, living in harmony with the Tontatta Tribe."
Shakky's gaze turned cold. "No matter who is in power, as long as it can cure Rayleigh—we must go."
Hancock stood up, her cape billowing, carrying a fierce aura: "Let's go. Whoever stands in our way, I will personally destroy them."
...
New World · Onigashima
Kaido sat cross-legged on a pile of wine barrels, carrying a large jug of strong liquor in his hand. His face was as gloomy as dark clouds before a storm.
"GULP—!!!"
He swallowed the strong liquor in one gulp. It dripped down his beard, splashing onto the floor in a puddle of booze.
He stared blankly at the ceiling, a series of infuriating events continuously echoing in his mind:
"Ever since those two brats, Ace and Enel, burned down my weapons factory and snatched Caesar along the way..."
"The Beast Pirates' 'Artificial Devil Fruit' project has been completely halted!"
"I went through all that trouble to capture a bunch of scientists, and they all turned out to be trash! Their success rate isn't even one-tenth of Caesar's!!!"
Thinking of this, veins popped on Kaido's forehead. He violently smashed the wine jug onto the floor—
"BOOM!!!"
The thick floor was smashed into a deep crater, liquor splashing everywhere.
But that wasn't even the most annoying thing— "And then there's that damn brat Yamato..."
Kaido scratched his head while gritting his teeth. "I finally managed to beat that trash 'Kozuki Oden' fantasy out of her head..."
"Only for her to turn around and become obsessed with someone who pisses me off even more—ROY, YOU BASTARD!!!"
He took a deep breath of alcohol fumes and was just about to take another swig from a new jug.
"FATHER!!! LET'S FIGHT AGAIN!!!"
"BANG!!!"
The door to the wine cellar was kicked open violently. Yamato charged in carrying her kanabo, her whole body wrapped in bandages, yet her face bore a fervent battle intent.
"This time I'll definitely force you to take half a step back!!!"
Kaido's hand twitched, nearly crushing the wine jug. He roared, "I just broke three of your ribs yesterday, you bastard!!!"
Yamato grinned, revealing bloodstained teeth, but her eyes shone like fire: "Roy once said—'Pain and scars are the medals of the strong'!!!"
(Roy: When did I ever say something like that???)
Kaido was so angry he was momentarily speechless, only able to grit his teeth: "ROY!!! Sooner or later, I'm going to smash your head in with my club!!!"
Saying this, he grabbed his kanabo, his breathing turning into a violent gale: "FINE!! Today I'll put you in bed for a whole month!!!"
"THUNDER BAGUA (RAIMEI HAKKE)!!!"
"BANG!!!"
A massive sound of impact echoed through Onigashima. Yamato was blasted flying by a single swing, crashing through three walls before finally embedding herself into the rock wall of the training ground.
As the dust cleared, she still held up her hand, her breathing ragged but stubborn: "Tomorrow... we continue..."
Kaido's beard trembled with anger. "SO ANNOYING!!! This is more annoying than that kick that bastard Rocks gave me back in the day!!!"
Just then, King silently appeared at the door, his black wings vibrating slightly. "Big Brother, a letter arrived from Hanafuda."
Kaido abruptly looked up, his eyes lighting up. "Hanafuda?! Finally some news from him?! What did he say?!"
King handed over a thick envelope, his tone flat:
"He received news from the underground black market that the user of the Heal-Heal Fruit has appeared in Dressrosa. He plans to go there personally to take a look."
King continued, "In addition, he also sent back two Ancient Zoan Devil Fruits. They have already been handed over to the rearing unit for safekeeping."
Kaido froze for a moment before bursting into hearty laughter, so bold it made the roof of the wine cellar tremble. "As expected of my good brother!! Bringing exactly what we need!!!"
Kaido nodded in satisfaction. "That guy Hanafuda... He always calls himself a Shichibukai, but in reality, everything he does is for the Beast Pirates."
King said slowly, "He has always been for the Beast Pirates."
Kaido held up a wine jug and laughed at the sky. "BWAHAHAHA! I know! My brother obviously understands my heart!!!"
He bit off the mouth of the jug, looking toward the horizon with a ferocious smile:
"Getting the Heal-Heal Fruit, the Ancient Zoans... The Beast Pirates will soon be able to roar across the entire New World!!!"
