The Shocking News...The World is in Chaos!!

[Land of Giants, Elbaf -- New World],

A battle between three pirate crews erupted in Elbaf's port. The Giants had some kind of celebration this day and they were holding a banquet in the other side of the island, so no one was present at the Port or near it at this time.

The pirate crews that were fighting are, the Kid Pirates lead by Eustass 'Captain' Kid and Emma Pirates lead by 'Dia' Emma Helios against the Ghost Pirates lead by Ghost The Black Swordsman.

While Kid and Emma were fighting Ghost or better known with his original name as Katakuri, Killer and Kuro were fighting Phantom or better known as Cracker. While Heat, Wire, Gin and Desire were fighting the rest of Katakuri's crew.

"Biscuit Soldier!" Cracker proceeded shape several large soldiers out of biscuits and had them attack Kuro and Killer.

"Scoop Death!" Kuro used an attack that utilizes his Stealth Foot to the fullest, moving at a speed higher than Soru, allowing him to sweep a large area and kill anything his claws connect with. But unlike his previous version, Kuro has the control to attack the targets he chose instead of attacking friends and foes.

He initiated his attack by swaying back and forth sideways in a fluid manner before he struck multiple Biscuit Soldiers at the same time with his Haki coated claws, though the damage he dealt wasn't enough.

"Jin Sonic!!" Killer rushed towards the damaged biscuit soldiers and sliced them vertically through their faces and torso while performing a somersault, destroying them.

Near them, Kid, Emma and Katakuri's fight was at its peak with all sides suffering from serious injuries throughout the fight. There was no telling who's going to win.

"Power Mochi!" Using his awakened powers, Katakuri summoned tendrils of mochi from the ground and looped them into the shape of donuts before he shaped the donut-shaped mochi into giant Armament Haki-enhanced arms.

"Enough already, you bastard!" Kid shouted in anger as he jumped towards Katakuri. The latter tried to use the mochi arms to punch down Kid, but Emma interfered.

"Don't forget about me…Za Warudo!!..." Emma said as a large transparent time sphere appeared, ingulfing all the three of them "…Infinity!" The time bubble slowed down the time of everything inside of it, though Katakuri wasn't affected since his Haki was too strong, but his Mochi arms were slowed down, giving Kid the chance to strike him.

"I'll make you a magnet!...Assign!" Kid assigned Katakuri, magnetizing him and making all the objects around the port including his weapon and his crew's weapons to be drawn into him and immobilized him "Whoa-whoa! That's not it yet!"

Kid greatly increased Katakuri's level of attraction, causing him to draw countless pieces of metal from large distances towards him, until he was buried underneath them. Although Katakuri can see the future but being under attack from two persons at the same time managed to get through his ability, especially Emma who can increase her speed using her Time fruit.

"Time Warp!" Using her awakened power, Emma thrusted her sword into the air creating a rift in the fabric of time, allowing her to stab Katakuri who was buried underneath the metal rubbles.

After receiving that attack, Katakuri quickly emitted Haki from his body and freed himself. After that he dashed at Kid and slashed his chest with his Haki coated massive sword.

*Splash* Kid coughed blood as his chest was cut open before Emma quickly used her ability to speed up time of everything including herself and attacked Katakuri at a blinding speed. The latter was keeping up with her using his future vision but not before Emma unleashed an attack at a large area.

"Time Bomb!" She proceeded to pick up a rock and imbued it with time-altering energy, causing it to undergo rapid aging or acceleration before she threw at Katakuri. The rock became highly volatile and exploded with the force of temporal energy, causing devastating damage.

The attack sent Katakuri flying back and made him vulnerable to attacks. Kid took the chance and created a giant harpoon gun out of metal pieces around his right arm, from which he rapidly fired metal spears at Katakuri akin to a Gatling gun.

"Punk Pistols!"

*BAM*-*BAM* Katakuri sent a barrage of attack with his Haki-Coated mochi arms and effectively destroyed Kid's spears before he landed on the ground again and attacked Kid.

Emma used her ability to create a rift in the fabric of time, allowing Kid to teleport instantaneously on top of Katakuri before he used his awakened power to assign a magnetic polarity to Katakuri.

"…S!" Kid then was teleported by Emma again towards a large building nearby and assigned it as well "…N!" Immediately after that the two targets assigned started to get drawn towards each other with immense force until Katakuri was sticking into the building.

At that particular moment Katakuri was disrupted and he wasn't completely calm so he couldn't see the future.

He tried to use his awakened powers to transform the ground around him into mochi to capture Kid and Emma, but the latter use her time bubble to slow time and thus slowing down mochi wave.

"I'll send you to hell!!" Kid took the chance to strike Katakuri utilizing a large amount of metal to construct an enormous railgun, which he then used to fire an electromagnetic projectile at him.

"Damned Punk!!"

*KA-BOOOM* The attack caused an enormous damage to Katakuri as he collapsed on the ground barely keeping his conscious. Emma then tried to finish him off, however a golden hook stab her from the back.

"What the--*SPLASH*--?!!" Everyone looked shocked at the person who did it.

It was none other than Crocodile.

"…Huff…Huff…Took you long enough…" Katakuri said while lying face down on the ground and with a hole in his stomach, he was struggling to breath.

"I thought you said you got this?" Crocodile calmly replied while smoking a large cigar as he lifted Emma's body with his hook that was thrusted on her back.

"You fucker…" Kid looked at Crocodile in hostility, he was in a deplorable condition and fighting him right after fighting Katakuri was too much.

"COUGH-COUGH…" Emma threw a mouthful of blood before she lost her conscious. Crocodile immediately used his sand to trap Kid and the rest.

"Wait! Please don't hurt our captain, we'll give you our Road Poneglyph!" Emma and Kid's crew both surrendered to Crocodile in fear of their captains' lives.

Crocodile took the Poneglyphs rubbings from them, but they were not satisfied with only that, they considered the two of them dangerous and on top of that Katakuri had a grudge on Ashen, so killing his Vice-Captain's daughter was a must.

Unfortunately for them, just as they were going to do that, dozens of giants lead by Dorry and Brogy showed up.

"Gabababababa! I heard someone had the audacity to attack our home!..." Brogy said while carrying a gigantic axe in his hand.

"Gyagyagyagya! Not only that but a friend of ours got hurt!" Dorry added while carrying a gigantic sword.

"Shit, we're in trouble…" Crocodile calmly said while blowing smoke from his mouth. He quickly picked up Katakuri before Dorry and Brogy coated their weapons with Haki and used a combination attack.

Although learning Haki is extremely hard for giant compared to regular sized people mainly because of their size, but with the help of Ashen who trained them rigorously Dorry and Brogy managed to do it.

"Hakoku Sovereignty!!" x2.

Crocodile tried to use his sand as a shield to reduce the impact, but the attack was too strong, and he was sent crashing into one of the ships in the port.

Without looking back, Cracker and rest immediately retreated as well along with Crocodile and the defeated Katakuri.

Although it could be considered a victory for Kid and Emma, but the price was heavy.

…

A week later,

[The bombshell news of the defeat of the Emperors Straw Hat Luffy and Blackbeard Teach just a few weeks after the defeat of Kaido…]

[…and the Navy's annihilation, the death of two Marine Admirals, the kidnapping of Vegapunk and the death of one of the Five Elders, the highest authority in the world by the Ashen Pirates turned the world upside down…]

[…The news spread very rapidly around the world and the captains involved in these incidents were issued astonishing bounties by the Government!!]

[Surpassing the King of Pirates Gold Roger as the highest bounty in the history!...'Demon of The Sea' Ashen, Dead or Alive 6,500,000,000 Berries.]

[Golden Lion Shiki, Dead or Alive 5,000,000,000 Berries]

['Surgeon of Death' Trafalgar Law, Dead or Alive 3,500,000,000 Berries]

The new Emperors now are…

['Demon of The Sea' Ashen]

['Golden Lion' Shiki]

['Red-Haired' Shanks]

['The Bombastic Clown' Buggy]

As for Kid and Emma, their bounties increased as well by a Billion each after defeating Katakuri, so now their bounties sit at 2,5 Billion each…

The situation in Mary Geoise was chaotic upon hearing the news of the death of Saturn.

"We never approved of spreading the news about Saint Saturn!" One of the Four Elders, the bald one with long moustache Saint Topman Warcury exclaimed in anger while holding a newspaper in his hand.

The four of them were in a state of panic.

"And isn't this bounty a little over the top, even Roger and Whitebeard didn't have this kind of bounties? We're only increasing his reputation and infamy with this" The blonde one questioned, Saint Shepherd Ju Peter.

"There is no meaning to it anymore, we'll pay anything for his head to be brought on the table!" Said the one with the long beard, Saint Marcus Mars.

"It's the first time in history that one of The Elders dies by the hands of a criminal!"

"This is a major blow to us. We can't tolerate the existence of this man anymore, if even the Navy and the Admirals are no match to him then we have no choice…" Saint Warcury said.

"…we'll have to mobilize them. We'll strike him with everything we have" Saint Marcus added.

"Let us not forget the alliance between those two, Red-Haired and that Clown. It is the first time we witness all the four emperors forming alliances together…"

"At least Straw Hat is gone"

"…"

"We are living in dark times"

…

Somewhere in the New World,

A Red-Haired figure was reading the news, his facial expressions had a mix of sadness, anger and shock.

"Luffy…" Shanks muttered to himself while clenching his fists until his hand started bleeding, Shanks was still having a hard time trying to believe that Luffy was killed and by none other than the Demon Ashen himself.

All the Red-Hair Pirates were very sad when they received the news of Luffy's death since they knew him when he was just an innocent child.

"What about Usopp? Did he also--…" Yasopp asked Shanks, he was hopping his son was okay.

"No, there is no mention of his death. He must be held as hostage" Shanks responded. Yasopp sighed in relief when he heard Shanks words.

"Shanks, are you alright?" Beckman asked him, he was worried about his captain's mental well-being. He knew Shanks cared a lot about Luffy.

"I'll be alright once my blade cut that person's head off his body"

…

Navy HQ,

Garp was open mouthed and in complete shock upon reading the news.

"L-…LUFFYYY!!" Garp dropped the newspaper on the ground, not believing what he just saw.

"…"

"Garp-san are you okay?!"

"Luffy…you bastard, I told you to become a strong navy soldier instead…*SOB*-*SOB*…" Garp said to himself while crying, he wished Luffy became a navy soldier. Maybe that way he could have protected him and prevented something like this from happening.

"…I won't forgive that bastard as long as I live!"

…

Fleet Admiral Sakazuki's office,

"Those incompetent bastards!! How dare they let this happen?!" Fleet Admiral Sakazuki was extremely furious at the news.

"Sakazuki-san shouldn't we at least have some respect for the dead?!"

"Screw them! Dead or not, it because of them that we're in this crisis...they dare to call themselves Marine Admirals yet they got humiliated and killed like that..."

"...They couldn't even take down one of Ashen's officers, now the higher ups will be on my neck for this. If i was still around, shit like this wouldn't have happened!"

...

In one of the revolutionary army hideouts,

Both Dragon and Sabo couldn't believe the news they received. Sabo's reaction was worse than when he found out that his brother Ace died in the Summit War, because this time he had his memories, and he could have done something to stop it.

Dragon had his regrets of never meeting his son before his death, but he was more composed than Sabo who passed out from the shock.

…

After the fall of Straw Hat Luffy and Blackbeard, the New World went drastic changes with the Four Emperors now allying themselves together and the with the Navy's influence in the New World decreasing.

Upon losing Two Admirals, the Navy promoted a candidate to the Admiral position, Vice-Admiral Tokikake or Shaton, while one seat stayed empty.

The Pirate World is now split into two factions, each one lead by two of the Four Emperors…

Ashen and Shiki VS Shanks and Buggy.

Any pirate who enters the New World now have only two choices, either join one of the two alliances or die.

At first it seemed that there will be a war where the winner would claim the One Piece, but Ashen was one step ahead and already went after the last Poneglyph without wasting any time…

…And a few days from now a new Pirate King will be crowned, and the biggest war in the pirate history will happen.
