10 Years in Progression

The surrounding forest exploded under the impact of the shocking storm, and countless wood chips and debris blended into the storm, which made the originally pure vortex of gas clouds even more dangerous.

All the pirates who could not escape from the forbidden realm in time were strangled to pieces, and even the Kairoseki cage that imprisoned the Gryphon was also blown apart.

In just the blink of an eye, this peaceful and serene island has become a purgatory on earth.

Pirates who were still alive either escaped underground. If lucky enough to be pushed into the sea by the winds.

The only two people standing on this land were Longinus and World as if they were the only two people left in the entire world.

"Marine brat, let me use this island as a sacrifice for you!" For his voice to overpower the gale, World even unknowingly used Haoshoku.

"It's better to keep this offering to yourself; after all, who in this world will remember you after you die?" Longinus' voice wasn't a big one, but it was incredibly stable, and it was sent through the storm to World's ears.

Hearing what Longinus said, World was silent for a moment before bursting out laughing, "I'm a pirate! Do you think I'd care about something like a sacrifice?"

"Enough boring nonsense has been said already, next, let me send you to hell!"

World roared and hurled the storm, spinning for an unknown length of time, at Longinus.

"You're the one who should be in hell, World!" Longinus strode into the storm, and suddenly, an incomparably powerful momentum erupted from the center of the vortex, tearing through the thunderclouds and storm.

It was his first step on the world stage and the complete burst of ambition that had been brewing for a decade!

...

"This guy ..." hiding in a dugout hole in the ground, Yasopp couldn't hide his shock, "Is that why he's called the World Destroyer?"

"Huh? What did you say? I can't hear you!" Lucky Roux shouted out, and even though they were close at hand, their voices were still muffled by the great storm, as if they were deaf.

"I say, the hole isn't deep enough, go on, dig down another fifty meters!" Seeing that the earth's surface dirt continued to be swept up into the air as if it were trying to uproot the ground, Yasopp leaned right up to Lucky Roux's ear and yelled.

"This guy World is worthy of being a great sea pirate who was once able to compete with Captain Roger, this kind of storm, so I want to try to feel it!" Shanks gripped his blade so tightly that he was shaking with excitement, but he was trying to split the through the storm with Gryphon.

Whereas Beckman didn't know what Shanks was thinking and quickly stopped him, "Shanks, don't be impulsive, even if you can crack World's attack, don't forget that there's another tricky guy watching, and if you run out of stamina, there's a good chance the others will be in danger!"

It has to be said that his best friend had already figured out shanks' character, and Beckman's words were a direct grip on his lifeblood.

After mentioning that this action might put his partner in danger, Shanks had no choice but to give up.

"Well, then I'll ... wait, Ah Gryphon!" Shanks suddenly slapped his cheeks and shouted in panic, "That gyphon is still out there, I have to go save it!"

Beckman's mouth twitched slightly, "Idiot, is now the time to worry about something like that? And it's too late for you to get out now, I guess, you can't even find the body!"

"Ahhhhh!" Shanks frantically scratched at his hair and let out four tendril baboon like screams, "I should have saved that gryphon first, I wanted a gryphon for a long time!"

"Shouldn't have come, Beckman, we shouldn't have come."

Seeing Shanks emitting the atmosphere of a defeated dog, Beckman helplessly covered his forehead with his hand. No choice, who was Shanks not interested in the alliance between World and BIG-MOM, specifically used Gryphon's news to tempt him, now this kind of result is considered his own self-inflicted.

Just then, a familiar sound suddenly came from the side of the underground wall.

"Damn, is that World guy crazy? How dare you try to kill us all together!"

"He wouldn't have survived long enough to have much restraint, of course."

"That marine is dead, and World won't let him have a chance to escape underground like we did!"

The underground wall was sharply penetrated, and the talking members of the Charlotte family snapped to see Shanks and Beckman across the room, both a little disoriented.

While Cracker and the others were secretly on guard, they heard Shanks roar, "Good old Katakuri, it's despicable to steal my idea!"

"Idiot!" The corners of Katakuri's mouth under his scarf twitched at Shanks' blood-curdling accusations.

"Even shameless, how dare you scold me!"

"If you're going to fight later up there, you don't want to, you don't want your crew to get caught up in the storm!"

"All right, cut it out," Beckman stepped forward to round things out, "World's dead, and I don't think there's any need for us to fight anymore."

"By sabotaging the operations of our BIG-MOM Pirates, are you going to pretend that nothing has happened?" Without waiting for Katakuri's answer, Cracker was the first to say.

"Haven't you had enough of the fight? That's just as well, I can't find a place to vent my anger yet!" Shanks said in a cold voice.

"Akagami, you ..." Katakuri was saying, and suddenly, his face changed.

BUZZ! BUZZ! BUZZ!

Whether it was the BIG-MOM Pirates or the Red Hair Pirates, those crew members who were a little weaker fainted one by one, foaming at the mouth.

"It's a clash of Haoshoku!" Shanks was naturally no stranger to the atmosphere.

"One of the vibes was completely suppressed, was it World, or Longinus?" Katakuri said quietly.

"It's interesting that a marine would have the qualifications of a king? I wonder, how would the World Government feel about that?" Cracker said gloomily.

"As far as I know, the Admiral of the Marine Headquarters, Sengoku the Buddha, is also the possessor of Haoshoku Haki, and to really think that an ethereal legend can make the World Government break its own arm would be to look down on them too much." Beckman said quietly.

"But, never heard of that marine having a Haoshoku, if it's the first time he's been activated to that extent, then he's a bit too fearsome!" Smoothie said with immense scruples.

"The storm seems to have stopped, and if you want to know the results, why don't you just go out and take a look?" Shanks said and turned to walk out of the cave.

"Let's get out too." Katakuri followed.

Outside;

Longinus has one arm through World's heart, but World is the one with his mouth wide open, laughing in an incredibly maniacal way :

"There's no mistaking the color of this Haoshoku, you're definitely not just ambitious for an admiral or a fleet admiral, you're coveting a higher position, am I right!"

"Haha ... cough cough!" World laughed as he coughed up blood, "That was so much fun, it's just a shame I can't see the day when the World Government goes down!"

PS1: Sengoku's life card records the fact that he has Haoshoku.

PS2: Don't ask me why Garp and Akainu's life card doesn't have a Haoshoku; I don't know.
