[Chapter Size: 2200 Words.]
Third Person POV
New Word.
…
…
The ships quickly approached sea level below Wano as the fleet crashed against the water. Soon, the other ships followed behind, all aligning in front of the enemy. One after another, the 105 ships kept crashing against the sea, positioning themselves directly in front of the enemy fleet, just behind Black Pearl.
“What are those things?” Usopp murmured, a little frightened, sensing with his Haki the things inside the government ships.
“So, they finally decided to use them… It’s the first time I’ve seen this,” Luffy said to himself, observing the Seraphim. And it wasn’t just a few… there were other things as well.
“This…” But his eyes widened as he saw someone there.
“Shanks?!” Lucy exclaimed, stepping closer to Luffy at the front upon noticing the red-haired man.
However, something was wrong. He wasn’t wearing the pirate attire that Luffy remembered, but rather the uniform of a Holy Knight. Moreover, Luffy immediately narrowed his eyes as he noticed another shocking detail: he had no scar and possessed both arms.
“This… isn’t Shanks,” he murmured, still stunned by what he was seeing.
He didn’t know this man, but his appearance was identical to Shanks, and at the same time… he wasn’t a clone, at least not from what Luffy could sense.
He leaped, landing on the prow of the ship as he stared at the challenger. His ship was the first to approach the enemy, with Bepo carrying him to 30 meters away from the first government ship. Meanwhile, the entire fleet surrounded them head-on—600 ships against 105.
At that moment, everyone could see the massive number of Pacifistas—at least 1,500 of them. This made many cautious, but no one backed down, for their commander was there, on the front lines.
“You’re a Tenryuubito, aren’t you?” Luffy asked openly, staring at the red-haired man for a few seconds before posing the question. He looked at him with interest—he certainly had Shanks’ strength.
“Huh? How insolent…” The man laughed with disdain. “I have no reason to answer a question from an inferior being who’s about to die.”
“Interesting. Fine, no need to answer, after all… you’re the one who’s going to die soon,” Luffy declared.
“How dare this bastard speak to us like that?” one of the nine Tenryuubito and Holy Knights behind the red-haired man spoke angrily.
Luffy ignored the provocation, while the man identical to Shanks glared at him with a certain hatred. It seemed he didn’t like Luffy’s words very much.
“Either way, the World Government is watching us, aren’t they?” Luffy asked, then continued.
“Let me guess…? The Reverie is still happening… so they’re broadcasting this to the kings, right? You want to show them that you can destroy us…” He mocked, flashing a wide grin.
“Yes,” the man resembling Shanks answered calmly.
Meanwhile, in Mary Geoise, after the chaos caused by the explosion, things had calmed down. People were cleaning up all the debris, especially the shards of glass from the windows that had shattered throughout the city—just like in every other place in the New World.
All the kings were in position as the transmission resumed, now showing Monkey D. Luffy standing at the prow of his ship, with his fleet right behind him. The Holy Knights were staring at Luffy’s ship in front of the Den Den Mushi, with the person filming right there. Luffy noticed that Den Den Mushi at that moment and looked directly at it.
“I hope I have a good audience right now… kings, queens, and the Gorosei.” He grinned.
Some of the kings swallowed hard upon seeing him. They certainly feared Luffy and the audacity he displayed, even in the face of the World Government’s high council. Now that he had defeated Kaidou, he had solidified his position on the seas.
“They don’t seem very injured or tired…” One of the Gorosei muttered, frowning as he observed the Straw Hats.
“Move the Den Den Mushi to the front of the ship. I want to speak with the pirate,” one of the Gorosei ordered through another transmitter.
“Yes, sir,” the other side quickly responded.
On the broadcast screen, government agents could be seen running to the front of everyone, positioning the Den Den Mushi at the front of the other ship.
“Monkey D. Luffy…” The voice of the Gorosei echoed through the transmission.
Luffy raised an eyebrow and crossed his arms, looking directly at the image.
“You must be Saint Shepherd Ju Peter,” Luffy said.
That guy… his voice seemed to be ahead of all the others. After all, it was him who had given the order regarding Lulusia, which would take place in the future.
“I’m surprised you know me,” the Gorosei’s voice sounded again. “In any case, I am officially declaring, at this moment, the end of your activities as a pirate and those of your entire crew. You are an immense threat to the seas and cannot be allowed to continue living.”
“Well… I thought we had an agreement. So that means you’re breaking it, right?” Luffy laughed, while the kings only listened in silence.
The only exception was Makino, who looked extremely worried, as well as Kaya and the governor of Cocoyasi Kingdom.
The other kings watched everything with curiosity, fear, and even anger. For some, it was a difficult situation, but others felt a hidden satisfaction—finally, they could get rid of these pirates roaming the seas.
“You know we can retaliate for this, right?” Luffy asked calmly, looking at the Den Den Mushi.
“We are well aware of that, Monkey D. Luffy. However, we have already prepared for this situation,” the Gorosei responded.
“I’d like to see that…” Luffy smiled. Then, without hesitation, he gave an order. “Bepo, destroy Mary Geoise.”
Everyone’s eyes widened upon hearing this.
Bepo, who had now put his wig back on—something Luffy had prepared for this occasion—nodded. Quickly, he raised his hand, and in the next moment, a fiery light began to appear in the sky, summoning a meteor.
At the same time, the red-haired Tenryuubito charged directly to kill Bepo, unsheathing his sword and dashing towards him on the Black Pearl.
However, Luffy appeared in front of him, blocking both of his swords. With a swift movement, he clashed his blade against the enemy’s sword, generating an explosion of Haki that spread in all directions.
“Damn… you must have the same strength as Shanks,” Luffy murmured, a thrilled grin forming on his face.
The man before him looked both surprised and frustrated. The Conqueror’s Haki, combined with the clash of three blades, quickly affected everyone around. Even those of higher rank had to brace themselves.
Meanwhile, Bepo had already set his meteor on course for Mary Geoise. In the distance, an intense glow began to spread as the enormous burning stone advanced across the sky toward the horizon. Three meteors were heading straight for Mary Geoise.
The Tenryuubito who was fighting grew frustrated and quickly backed away. But then, he simply smirked. At that moment, his shadow on the deck of the ship suddenly began to distort. From within it, someone emerged and charged directly at Luffy, catching everyone by surprise.
All those around widened their eyes, having no time to react upon seeing an assassin suddenly appear. However, Luffy just smiled.
In the next instant, he dropped one of his swords, grabbed his pistol, and aimed it at the assassin’s head. The man was suddenly paralyzed in midair, unable to comprehend what had just happened.
He only managed to see the gun pointed at him before Luffy pulled the trigger.
The gunshot echoed across the deck, and the lifeless body of the assassin fell heavily onto the ship.
The red-haired Tenryuubito, frustrated, retreated to his ship upon realizing his plan had failed.
“Like I said… you can’t trust the World Government,” Luffy mocked. “These guys always have dirty schemes on every side, like worms.” He declared for all to hear, as everyone present, including the kings, listened. The Gorosei, clearly, did not like those words at all.
Regardless, before the meteors could fall, Luffy turned his gaze back to the Den Den Mushi transmitting the Gorosei and smiled.
“I know you must already have a plan to protect yourselves from this. After all, you wouldn’t be so confident if you didn’t have a way to defend against our attack.”
At that moment, a frozen heart appeared in Luffy’s hand.
“You do know we have some of your beloved Holy Knights’ hearts, right?” Luffy taunted.
After all, Lami had collected some of their hearts during the war. Though they hadn’t been killed—since there had been no reason to do so yet—he had kept them. And now, they could use them.
The Gorosei and the elders tensed at the sight.
Four of the seven most powerful Tenryuubito from the Holy Knights were, at that moment, in the hands of Monkey D. Luffy.
“You bastard…!” The Shanks lookalike tried to speak but couldn’t even finish his sentence.
In the next moment, Luffy simply burned the heart with amethyst flames, completely paralyzing its owner.
A Tenryuubito within the group let out a scream that echoed through the air. He collapsed to the ground, writhing in agony, until his body finally perished, his heart consumed by the flames.
Silence took over.
Even the kings and queens swallowed hard, while the Gorosei maintained a dark and cold expression.
They had known this was a possibility, but seeing it happen firsthand was something else entirely. Once again, Luffy was showing the world that he could kill the so-called gods of this world with terrifying ease.
In the sky, the meteors drew ever closer to Mary Geoise, illuminating the horizon. The only thing the Gorosei felt now was hatred toward Luffy.
Meanwhile, Luffy picked up another heart.
“Well… let’s get rid of them all at once,” he said calmly.
“You bastard!” The Tenryuubito, the plasma user who had appeared in Marineford, saw his heart in Luffy’s hands and realized he was about to die just like his comrade.
Immediately, he radiated with intense energy, charging at full speed toward Luffy.
“Lami.”
Luffy spoke the name with simple ease, even as the plasma user dashed toward him.
The attack came in a devastating kick, similar to Kizaru’s, but much more aggressive, without the Admiral’s characteristic phrase.
At the moment Luffy was about to be struck by the Haki-imbued plasma kick—he vanished.
In the place where he had stood, only the heart remained. The Tenryuubito didn’t even have time to react before seeing his own attack crush his heart, destroying it completely.
He stared at it, stunned, before simply feeling his own body fade away.
In the next moment, everyone watched as the Holy Knight fell to his knees before collapsing, dead.
“Look… we have another Holy Knight down. And one who, ironically, committed suicide,” Luffy said calmly as he walked back to the prow, glancing at the body on the ground.
Lami had swapped his position at the last moment, leaving only the heart behind. Even the Tenryuubito, who had once been arrogant, were now in shock.
Now, two of their comrades—two of the most powerful—had fallen. The original group of nine had been reduced to seven, and of the seven strongest, four had come here, with two already dead.
The scene was eerily reminiscent of Marineford, making all the kings swallow hard.
“That… bastard… He did this…” the Gorosei muttered, nearly unleashing their Haki in fury.
All the kings and queens watched the scene, suffocated by terror.
But Luffy wouldn’t even give them the satisfaction of striking back.
“Well, either way, let’s end this,” Luffy declared.
He looked once more directly into the transmission camera.
“Unfortunately for you, people of Mary Geoise, you won’t be able to see any more of the fight. We’ll leave the surprise for the end… when the transmission returns.”
The Gorosei narrowed their eyes, wondering what he meant by that.
“Do it,” Luffy ordered.
At that moment, Enel, positioned at the highest point of the Black Pearl, held a strange machine. He began discharging electricity into it.
In the next instant, a surge of energy spread in all directions, quickly striking every Den Den Mushi, knocking them out instantly.
But this wasn’t Enel’s usual technique. It was a machine developed by Dr. Vegapunk, based on a project Luffy had requested back in Dressrosa. It had been swiftly executed by Franky and allied scientists.
The Gorosei and the elders watched helplessly as the transmission was abruptly cut off.
Silence filled the room. Then, in an explosion of pure rage, the table shattered beneath the fist of one of the Gorosei.
“That bastard…!” was all they could say.
Now, they were completely blind to what would happen next.
This machine didn’t just cut off the Den Den Mushi transmissions—it also blocked any information the Pacifistas would have relayed through their connection to Mary Geoise.
