[Chapter Size: 1900 Words.]

Third Person POV

New Word.

...

...

A finally stopped after Luffy, while the Haki still spread beyond the Pangea Castle, making everyone feel the pressure emanating from it. All eyes fell upon him—even the Tenryuubito looked on with a hint of fear. Even they remained silent, only watching with cautious expressions.

"They are enraged... What really happened..." a Holy Knight murmured.

"We're not sure... We lost communication with the forces at sea, and even though we managed to reestablish it now, no one is responding to any communicator. It seems our attack has failed..." another knight responded.

"Eight Vivre Cards were destroyed... They killed everyone except for two... We've lost more than half of the twenty Holy Knights in just two years, not to mention that among the seven strongest, four are dead, and we have no idea what happened to two others..." the first one spoke with such anger that he released his Haki, though it was still overshadowed by the Haki of the Gorosei.

"How did those inferior beings manage to do this? Why did we allow things to reach this point? We held back, avoiding too much exposure, and in the end, it backfired... Our leaders should have used us to eliminate that threat back in East Blue," a third lamented.

"There's no point in complaining now..." the first one spoke again, while the others nodded. In the end, they would have to see what the Elders would do with this information.

The Conqueror's Haki continued to erupt inside Pangea Castle. The kings were suffocating, practically begging for it to stop with their desperate gazes.

Outside, Garp and the other security personnel, as well as the royal guards who were not part of the World Government, observed the situation cautiously, trying to understand what was happening. They were still not fully aware of what had transpired in that room that night.

Finally, the Gorosei decided to cease their release of Haki, seeing that the kings were on the verge of collapse. They understood the danger of unintentionally killing them just from the sheer pressure of such power.

"Let’s calm down," one of them murmured, while the others withdrew their forces.

"What happened cannot be changed anymore, but we cannot lose our minds with rage. We must think carefully about our next steps... After all, many resources were invested in this operation, and it failed."

"Let’s adjourn this meeting for now," another Gorosei said.

After that, everything returned to normal. Their eyes turned to the kings, who were still terrified.

"I know this has been a difficult night for you, as we deprived you of sleep for this meeting. For now, return to rest. We will officially announce what will be done next."

"Escort the kings and queens to their chambers," one of the Gorosei ordered through a Den Den Mushi before turning his attention back to the rest of the council.

Agents opened the doors, escorting those who composed the World Government out of the room. The kings and queens left the place still visibly shaken by what they had witnessed. Many cast wary glances at the Gorosei, unable to forget the scene they had just seen.

When the last king left the room, the Gorosei were finally alone.

"That was, at the very least, frustrating..." one of them commented.

"I don’t recall anything like this happening in the seven hundred years of the World Government," another murmured.

"We must ensure that Morgans does not publish any news about what happened."

"What will we do now? We need to control the damage... Besides, one of the survivors is arriving at this very moment."

They exchanged serious looks before raising their eyes to the sky.

Someone was approaching.

His posture was somewhat careless, yet he advanced quickly towards one of the locations in Mary Geoise.

At that moment, the Den Den Mushi rang.

"We want to hear from you later. For now, just rest. We have another problem to deal with," one of them suddenly said. None of the others disagreed, despite wanting to hear about the battle.

But something was noticed at that moment.

The Holy Knight who had survived the fight nodded as he made his way to one of the houses. Many greeted him, but he spoke to no one. He simply walked in silence, entering through a window.

"So, you failed," a white-haired man murmured, sitting and gazing at the balcony as he watched his son arrive.

"Yes, father. We were all destroyed."

"And the Gorosei? They didn't want to hear you at this moment?" he asked, his gaze resembling Shanks' when he was extremely angry.

"No..." the wounded man replied.

"What a shame..." his father sighed, disappointed. "In any case, do as they say. I don't know what Imu-sama will do next, but he will not remain silent," the man said in a serious tone, while his son, Shamrock Figarland, simply nodded, frustrated and ashamed for having lost the battle.

Meanwhile, the Gorosei no longer cared about him. One of them looked at the other.

"Now we have to deal with our little hidden rat. He’s heading for the Empty Throne."

"We’ll deal with Shamrock later. First, we need to take care of this intruder..."

And so, they ended the meeting and left, advancing toward the indicated location.

At the same time, Sabo stood before the Empty Throne after infiltrating. A new battle began inside Mary Geoise, with the revolutionaries emerging amidst the widespread chaos.

Meanwhile, back in the New World, the Straw Hats began organizing everything in Onigashima post-battle, checking the dead and the destroyed ships, trying to save those who still had hope of survival. The people of Wano watched in silence as Luffy attempted to control the situation and make contact with others around the New World.

He discovered that destruction had occurred in several kingdoms due to his fight against Bullet. The impact was so great that it even affected the North Blue and the West Blue.

"Too much chaos in various areas of the New World and some of the Blues..." Mr. 3 commented through the Den Den Mushi as he gathered information about how Luffy’s battle had affected everyone's movements.

"I see... I didn't imagine my explosion would be so destructive," Luffy replied. "But considering that it managed to destroy even Bullet's body, I shouldn’t be surprised by this," he confirmed while looking at the reports of the destruction caused by the battle against the former member of Gol D. Roger’s powerful crew. After all, Bullet had absorbed the entire region of Gize to become powerful enough, forcing Luffy to use his Moa Moa no Mi at an even stronger level than he usually would.

"Anyway, keep me informed about everything that’s happening," he said into the Den Den Mushi.

They needed to organize the kingdoms that were in danger and move them to Wano as quickly as possible, but first, he had to handle a few things—one of which was preparing Wano itself for what was to come.

Now, his goal was to gather all the kingdoms and territories, concentrating them into a large archipelago in this region, making Wano the central point. Besides finally helping to open the country, they could also send resources more easily. After all, Wano still needed a lot of support to recover, as the destruction caused by Kaido over the years was still fresh, and it would take years before the country could become self-sufficient again.

"It will be done, Captain," Mr. 3, who was working in the Straw Hats' intelligence division, said.

"I also want to know something. How is the Navy moving? Has there been any dissatisfaction among the Marines regarding Mary Geoise?" Luffy asked.

"Yes, I intercepted some Marine communication channels. Many Marines are dissatisfied with the issue of the slaves beneath the Sacred City of the World Government. Some have even resigned, as this was not what they joined the Navy for."

Luffy heard this and knew it was bound to happen—it was an inevitable situation.

"Then, it's time to initiate the 'Sword' plan," Luffy said at the end.

He knew that the Marines would create a parallel organization, and more than ever, he wanted to do it first.

His eyes turned to his sister, who was still wearing the Straw Hat, looking a bit dazed after hearing everything.

She would be the key to leading the "Sword," because even though she was a pirate, her sense of justice remained strong and unwavering. There was no one better suited for this role.

Even though Coby also had a lot of potential, there was no better candidate for the future of the Marines than Lucy. She had the ability to unite all forces. After all, she was the chosen one by Nika's fruit.

Luffy knew there was a possibility that the fruit had been meant for him. After all, he had been right next to his sister when she ate it, on the day Shanks visited their village. But at the same time, it didn’t quite make sense. His personality wasn’t like Joy Boy’s or his sister’s. He wasn’t as pure.

After all, he had once threatened to destroy part of the world with a massive attack, just to protect his people. Something Joy Boy would never have done.

Uta, hearing all of this, approached cautiously, looking at her husband. Clearly, she hated death and war, though she had become more tolerant over time due to becoming a pirate. Still, she looked at Luffy with concern—and even a hint of disappointment.

"You didn’t really plan to destroy part of the world, did you?" she murmured, while many looked at him. Even his sister showed concern.

"Unfortunately, that’s how things work, Uta," Luffy replied.

"Even though I knew things would end the way they did, with the World Government retreating, the price would still be too high for them. Still, I would do anything to protect my family and my people. Whether it’s cruel or not."

He spoke sincerely, and many swallowed hard upon hearing his words. However, some members of his crew reflected on it and, in the end, agreed with their captain.

"Luffy isn’t evil," Lucy finally said.

"He did this for all of us. And I will always love him as my brother, no matter what happens. Even if I have to fight him one day if he becomes a threat, I will stop him."

In the end, she tightened the hat on her head, looking at him with a smile.

Luffy met her gaze, not offended by her words.

"Maybe you’re right, sister," he replied.

His eyes returned to his crew.

"Either way, let’s deal with everything that has happened now. Gather everyone—we’re going to start executing the next part of the plan. After all, things haven’t settled down yet, and we must protect our people, who are scattered across the seas and may be in danger right now."

He knew there were countries he needed to bring to the New World urgently. Everyone nodded at his order.

But first, he had to deal with Wano.

And so, Luffy jumped off the Black Pearl, moving forward to speak with Oden’s daughter, while part of the new Red Scabbards stood still, watching his approach.
