Holy Land Mary Geoise was in chaos.
The high and mighty CP0, the Five Elders, and even the Celestial Dragons had long lost their usual arrogance and haughtiness as the world's top elites.
Ju Peter smashed a valuable antique in the conference room to pieces, "What's going on!? Wasn't it said that guy chose another planet? Why did he come here!?"
Mars was dripping with cold sweat, "Could it be that the outcome is already decided? He defeated Lott and came here to plunder?"
Saturn recalled Boros's identity and gritted his teeth, "Possibly. After all, that guy's main occupation is also a pirate, starting out through plunder, though he previously operated in the East Galaxy."
"If that's the case, then there's still room for maneuver."
Warcury said gravely:
"Pirates are greedy creatures, whether they're from here or from space. In that case, we can buy him off with benefits."
"What pirates want is nothing more than two things: wealth and beautiful women. Immediately select the most valuable items from this year's Heavenly Tribute paid by the kingdoms... No! Load up all the Heavenly Tribute! Send it to Boros!"
Mars shouted, his face pale.
Although the Ark capable of space travel was already built, it hadn't been tested yet, so the risk was too great.
And unless absolutely necessary, neither the Five Elders nor Imu wanted to leave this planet. This was their base, after all.
Leaving meant starting everything from scratch.
Originally, Shanks's death was undoubtedly a great thing for their World Government.
But the one who did it was Boros, making it a completely different matter!
At that moment, the exclusive Den Den Mushi used by the Five Elders to contact Imu rang again.
Imu on the other end, though trying their best to sound calm, still had an uncontrollable tremor in their voice, "Boros... hasn't left Elbaf."
The Five Elders' expressions changed again.
'Hasn't left Elbaf?'
They thought Boros came here simply to plunder resources.
If that were truly his goal, he shouldn't stay in Elbaf.
After all, there weren't many treasures there.
If Boros wanted to go, he should go to Gran Tesoro or a Four Emperor's territory.
There was more money there.
"Co-could it be..."
Soon, the Five Elders thought of a possibility, their faces paler than before. The cold sweat continuously welling up from under their skin completely soaked their expensive black suits.
If Boros stayed in one place, the biggest possibility was that he was waiting for someone!
And who was he waiting for?
The entire universe knew, right!?
…
The scene shifts to Punk Hazard.
In the center of a hundred-meter-wide, seven-to-eight-meter-deep crater smashed into the island's ground, lay a strange spherical machine.
On the left side of the crater were Momonosuke and his loyal retainers who had traveled from twenty years ago.
On the right side were the Straw Hat Pirates who had just arrived on the island.
Both sides noticed the other side's presence.
But neither had the mind to greet the other.
Everyone's attention was focused on the unknown sphere below.
Finally, the hatch slowly opened.
What the people on both sides saw next-
Was a face equivalent to the word 'devil' for them.
Lott bent over and stepped out of the spaceship.
Then pulled out Miku, who seemed a bit weak.
"I want to take a bath!"
Miku puffed her cheeks and looked at Lott.
The spaceship was so small it had nothing. Although her nose had gotten used to it and couldn't smell anything, Miku was sure she must stink terribly now.
Although her personality was somewhat introverted, she absolutely wouldn't allow herself to be smelly.
"Alright, alright~"
Lott comforted her as if pacifying a child.
"By the way, which planet did that guy Boros pick this time... Huh?"
Lott looked around curiously.
Unlike the last trip to the Planet Teigu, Lott hadn't contacted Boros during the journey this time.
He directly blocked him after Boros sent the location.
To avoid him bothering him daily like a simp.
"Huh?"
Just as Lott turned his head, trying to guess which planet this was based on the scenery-
He saw the first face-
And immediately thought, 'Okay, I know now.'
'Hmm... Barely acceptable, though there's trash everywhere here too.'
Lott rubbed his chin and evaluated.
Previously, Lott's evaluation of the Planet Teigu was 'rotten from the inside out'.
Actually, this phrase fit the Planet Pirate quite well too.
The World Government was a piece of shit, and although there were kind-hearted people within the Marine, they were ultimately just the World Government's dogs.
Pirates went without saying.
They were a collection of bullies.
People like Rayleigh and Luffy always spouted phrases like 'pirates are symbols of freedom', but it's better to take such words with a grain of salt.
Bullshit symbols of freedom, did you earn the things you eat and use by working?
Damn it, you stole them all.
When it came down to it, the pirates of the Planet Pirate and the Imperial Army of the Planet Teigu were birds of a feather.
At most, it was a difference of fifty steps and a hundred steps.
But Lott himself wasn't a good guy either, so he wouldn't morally condemn others.
"Lott-kun, is this planet not good?"
Noticing the subtle change in Lott's expression, Miku tugged on Lott's sleeve and asked worriedly.
"No, the scenery is quite nice."
Lott replied with a smile.
Lott wasn't lying… although, like the Planet Teigu, it was filled with scum, the Planet Pirate's scenery was truly undeniable.
In Lott's impression, only planets like the Planet Pokémon or the Planet Isekai could barely surpass it.
"Great!"
Miku expectantly clasped her hands, the corners of her lips curling up uncontrollably.
Lott held Miku's hand and walked out of the crater.
Thud!
When the two stepped onto the land of Punk Hazard.
Usopp, the cowardly duo member of the Straw Hat Pirates, was the first to fall on his rear, snot and tears flowing as he trembled:
"It's him, it's him... S-Saiyan, wh-why is he here? W-wasn't it said they chose to fight on Bulat's planet?!"
The 'Bulat' Usopp mentioned was the member of the Revolutionary Army on the Planet Teigu.
But the Straw Hat Pirates only knew of this person and weren't familiar with [Night Raid].
Luffy's second brother, Sabo, had interacted with him multiple times, though.
After all, they were both 'Revolutionary Armies'.
But if Lott had to choose, he felt the Revolutionary Army from the Planet Teigu was more reliable.
After all, their leader actually took action when needed, unlike the one here who only knew how to sweat in the rear.
Damn, even when a brother's woman was captured by the enemy to be used as a breeding tool, he was still sitting there sweating.
Putting himself in their shoes, if Genos's woman was kidnapped and he just sat there doing nothing, even Lott would think he was a beast.
Wait, no, Lott felt Genos probably didn't like women.
"Huh? The Summit War hasn't started yet? Where is this?"
Seeing that Nami still had short hair and Zoro's eyes were still intact, Lott deduced the Planet Pirate's timeline hadn't progressed much.
Robin, the most mature-minded of the Straw Hats, took several deep breaths and barely calmed down enough to explain:
"Th-the Summit War? If you... you mean the battle between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Marines over Ace, they didn't fight?"
"Oh?"
Lott looked at this busty mature woman with some surprise.
Mainly because he usually didn't spend much time in the chat group and didn't know about this.
"Whatever, not important. Where are the fun places on this planet? Hmm... I remember Sabaody Archipelago was nice."
Lott recalled the dreamlike scenery of Sabaody Archipelago from his previous life.
Although this island ruled by Celestial Dragons was corrupt to the extreme in reality, with slave trading, abduction of young girls, Celestial Dragons running amok-
But the variety of entertainment was truly extensive!
"Um..."
Nami raised her hand like a socially anxious elementary student, "S-Sabaody Archipelago doesn't exist anymore."
"Ah!?"
Lott's face darkened.
"Eek-"
Although Lott didn't release any killing intent or anything, Nami still shrank behind Robin like a startled fawn.
"Sp-spare me, let me go... I, I... sob sob..."
By the end, Nami was directly crying.
"Lott, you scared her into crying."
Miku held Lott's sleeve with her left hand and pointed at Nami with her right.
"Am I that scary?"
Lott raised an eyebrow.
Nod nod!
Although the Straw Hat crew members were also terrified, upon hearing Lott's words, they nodded vigorously in their hearts.
