The New Emperor

"NOOOO!! MAMAA!!" Prometheus cried loudly while watching Big Mom drown in the sea, Zeus was the same and they both desperately tried to go down and save her. Unfortunately for them she was already deep in the sea, while Ashen stopped their way again.

"You're coming with me!" Ashen proceeded to put his sword back to its sheath, quickly grabbed Zeus and Prometheus, using his flames to create a dense Haki-coated flame box to trap them, and flew back to the island. In a few seconds, he was already back where his crew gathered, they were all exhausted and injured.

"Let go of me Ashen!! I'm going to save mama!" Prometheus cried loudly as he tried escape Ashen's grasp.

"It's useless, no one can save her…You two be good boys and do as you are told!" Ashen said as proceeded to land near his crew.

"Ashen…" Everyone got on their feet when he arrived.

"AGHH!! What are you doing to us!" Prometheus screamed.

"Shut up, from now on you'll do as I say" Ashen said, as he gripped Prometheus tightly, releasing his hot purple flames and burning him "My flames are the hottest, not even you can compare. Be a good boy and do as you're told…or I'll burn you the fuck up" Ashen said in a menacing tone, before he threw Zeus towards Enel.

"What's this?" Enel asked in confusion as he gazed at the thundercloud.

"That's one of the homies that Big Mom used, Zeus. He's a thundercloud able to use powerful lightning attacks, you would make a good combination" Ashen stated "Find a way to tame him"

"I'm going to save mama, you're not stopping me!" Zeus quickly flew away trying to escape, but not before Enel started fire multiple lightning bolts from his hand towards him "Stay put, you stupid thundercloud".

"Anyway…Calvin, have everyone retreat back. And while you're at it make sure to capture the defeated officers and bring them" Ashen gave orders as he watched the remaining Big Mom pirates fight despretely, the giants were easily wreaking havoc in their lines while the Ashen Pirates and their allies were slicing through them with ease. But Ashen didn't want to take any more casualties "retreat back to the hill, and no matter what happened do not let anyone go down"

"Right away…" Calvin proceeded to carry out the order and everyone retreated back, Big Mom pirates took the opportunity and tried to escape the island. They were still thousands of them left, as Big Mom brought her entire fleet and army for this war.

A few minutes later all of Ashen allies and subordinates along with Big Mom's top officers who got defeated were on one side of the island, while the rest was on the other half.

"Quickly, retreat back!!"

"Let's go back to our ships!"

"Damn it, how did this happen!"

The remaining of Big Mom pirates started running away from the battlefield back towards their ships.

"Are you going to let them escape?" Calvin asked while standing near Ashen.

"Of course not, they came her trying to kill us…They must pay for their sins" Ashen said in a deep tone of voice as he jumped down of the hill.

"You made the wrong choice following Big Mom to this battlefield and pointing your weapons at me…" Ashen uttered to himself as intense flames started surging from his body.

"May God forgive you, but I sure as hell won't"

*BOOOOM* With that, Ashen used his awakened ability to raise a massive sea of flames from the ground, turning half of the island into a literal hell, burning every last one of Big Mom Pirates.

"GYAAAH!!"

"SAAAVE ME!!"

"ARGHHH!! IT'S BURNING!! IT'S BURNING!!"

Loud screams were heard across the island, as everything turned to ashes and the thousands of people were burned alive.

"…"

Intense blueish-purple flames engulfed half of the islands where the battle against Big Mom took place.

…

…

…

Two weeks later,

After the battle against Big Mom, Ashen and the rest of the crew's injuries were treated by Gerd, the childhood friend of Hajrudin, a doctor and a future member of The New Giant Warriors.

Ashen took the chance to give her an invitation to join his crew, as he still needed a doctor. Even he knew that he was lucky enough to survive all these years without a doctor on the ship.

Right now, there was a big banquette held in Elbaf celebrating the victory.

Ashen read the newspaper title that said, "The New Emperor…Ashen Pirates defeated Big Mom Pirates and destroyed their entire fleet army in the New World near Elbaf, thus dubbing 'Demon of The Sea' Ashen as the new Emperor of Sea instead of Big Mom" Ashen cracked a smile reading the news.

"Kishishi! Are we finally recognized as one of the three strongest pirate crews in the world?" Moria commented, looking amused at Ashen's words "That old bitch really got what she deserves"

"The New Emperors are the following…"

['Demon of The Sea' Ashen, Dead or Alive 3.500.000.000 Berries]

[Kaido, Dead or Alive 4.150.100.000 Berries]

[Edward Newgate, Dead or Alive 5.022.000.000 Berries]

"That's a massive bounty boost, it shows that defeating an emperor is not a small feat" Calvin commented on Ashen's bounty "Though Whitebeard's bounty is still massive, fitting for the rival of the pirate king"

"There is more…" Ashen said as he flipped the pages and revealed the bounties of the rest of the crew. (With bounty posters and updated pictures)

[Calvin Helios, Dead or Alive 1.100.000.000 Berries]

[Enel, Dead or Alive 1.050.000.000 Berries]

[Gecko Moria, Dead or Alive 1.000.000.000 Berries]

[Urouge, Dead or Alive 600.000.000 Berries]

[Ian Inaki, Dead or Alive 550.000.000 Berries]

[Yamamoto D. Tora, Dead or Alive 500.000.000 Berries]

[Diana Rose, Dead or Alive 400.000.000 Berries]

[Amber, Dead or Alive 300.000.000 Berries]

[Franky, Dead or Alive 200.000.000 Berries]

[Ken, Dead or Alive 150.000.000 Berries]

"Yahahaha!...That's more than I thought" Enel commented on the new bounties, he was sitting cross legged near Ashen, before he took a bite from his apple "*Munch*-*Munch*…*Gulp*…So, are we taking over Big Mom territory?" he asked.

"Of course, she won't be needing those islands anymore. I'm also thinking about what I should do with her remaining children" Ashen calmly replied before he turned to Don Chinjao "Your bounty also increased old man, your head is worth 756.200.000 Berries"

"Yahoho! It's been a long time since it increased, I guess the Happo Navy will be on the radar from now on…I really made the right choice joining you" Chinjao responded with enthusiasm.

"We can finally retrieve our operation base in Hachinosu, Ashen while we are here why not make Elbaf your territory" Calvin said to Ashen, before he added "I think the giant have grown to respect you and your strength after defeating Big Mom, they might also be grateful as you got rid of their enemy. You can use this to make Elbaf your territory or more, recruit some giants to our cause"

"You are right, that's exactly what I'm thinking" Ashen responded, before he took a sip from his drink "I hope Urouge and Yamamoto reached Totto Land before anyone else, I don't want someone else to get his hands on Big Mom's Poneglyph" Ashen mentioned, he sent Urouge and Yamamoto a few days after the battle to bring back the Road Poneglyph from Big Mom's territory, although he has a copy for himself, he still didn't one someone else to get his hands on it.

"My era has just began....I'll show everyone what being a true pirate really means"
