Boom...!

Boom...!

Amid torrential rain across the Grand Line, dark clouds above the Red Line sky were slowly torn apart. The source of this vibration finally revealed its true nature to the world. A shadow loomed over everything. 

When the cause of the vibrations across the entire Red Line was exposed, the world collectively gasped. 

"That...that's?!"

"No way, right?!"

"Has that thing always been there above Mariejois?!"

"The sky..."

"Yes! It's an island....?! Did Sky Island fall?!"

"But that island is too big...!!!"

Countless people were shocked. Amidst the heavy rain, projecting phone bugs revealed a colossal structure piercing the Red Line sky, blocking out the sun. The 'huge island,' almost the size of Mariejois, was falling from the sky!!!

There was no doubt. If such a huge island fell, the whole Grand Line would feel its impact.

At Naval Headquarters:

"What...is that?!"

Garp's face was extremely serious. He exchanged a troubled look with Sengoku. The enormous island falling mysteriously from above Mariejois was too huge to comprehend. Garp had no doubts. If that island fell, the resulting wave would instantly engulf the Naval Headquarters. The tsunami would be ten times, no, a hundred times greater than anything they had faced before.

"Hey hey hey, Sengoku-san...now's not the time to be shocked." 

Marine Admiral Aokiji understood the gravity of the situation. He rose, his expression shifting from the shock of Mariejois' destruction to profound concern. With the remnants of his Bankai sword, Aokiji realized his Frozen Fruit ability could be used again. But he couldn't be sure he could withstand a tsunami a hundred times larger, enough to save Naval Headquarters.

"Old man...Dad, what is that?!"

The captains under Whitebeard looked at him in amazement. Ignoring the shock of Mariejois being destroyed by that man, Whitebeard's face was extremely solemn. He tightly gripped his childish sword. 

Im was dead. Yet, this was something no one had imagined. Hidden above Mariejois, Im's time and space Devil Fruit-like abilities were a deep concern. Though the self-proclaimed god was dead, he left a massive problem for the world.

Instantly, recalling Roger's words, Whitebeard's expression shifted. His eyes fixed on the island falling above Mariejois. That island... could it be?

Whitebeard's heart sank. Roger's legacy explained why countless pirates almost turned the New World upside down but never reached the legendary One Piece treasure. Raftel! 

At this moment, Whitebeard's heart raced. 

Meanwhile, outside Marineford, the Red Hair Pirates were equally shocked.

"... Shanks!"

"Hit me quickly!"

"Am I dreaming?! No, it hurts!"

Yasopp murmured, "What is that island?! Could those beams of light from the sky be related to it?"

Red-haired Shanks was silent, but Benn Beckman responded:

"I don't know what happened to the island, but one thing is certain: once the island falls, every pirate group within its proximity is in danger, unless that man can destroy it. Someone will definitely react soon."

"React to what?" Yasopp looked puzzled.

Benn Beckman lit a cigar and replied: "Just like you thought. Such a huge island... do you think it might hold the wealth left by the guy named Im?"

The world government has scrapped so many things. Mariejois, who originally disappeared, had already dispelled everyone's thoughts, but now...

"What?! But aren't they afraid of that monster?"

Yasopp snapped back to his senses, his expression changed. His eyes fixed on the man who immediately stood on Mariejois. The man had killed Red Hair Pirates Cadet Crew Rocks up. Yasopp originally wanted to wait until the Summit War was over before confronting that man. But now, after witnessing how the whole Mariejois was destroyed by him alone, Yasopp is only grateful for that man!

Yes, as a member of the Four Emperors Red Hair Pirates and a cadre, Yasopp is only grateful for Bai Ye! Initially, they listened to the advice of Deputy Captain Beckman. They, the Red Hair Pirates, chose to withdraw during the confrontation with that man. Otherwise, the Red Hair Pirates might have perished on a battlefield where even Kaido is dead!

Beckman's voice sounded again. The Red Hair Pirates deputy captain, Beckman, stared at the figure of the man on the projection, and said slowly, "Afraid, of course, they will be afraid of that monster, but," Beckman's tone sank, "before, no force dared to face the monster that subverted the world government alone. Nowadays, in the face of huge interests and the wealth of the entire world that might be piled up around the tired lion, do you think those guys who can give up their lives for ambition without hesitation will give up?"

"What?!"

The expressions of the other Red Hair Pirates officers suddenly changed. Beckman said solemnly, "The answer is of course not. This is the real pirate. There are not a few guys who seem stupid, but in the face of sufficient interests, there will be countless guys crazy about it." 

"Don't forget, because Shanks' former captain, 'One Piece' Roger, said 'put everything in one piece' before his death, which ignited the whole world and created the entire era of great sailing."

After Beckman finished speaking, everyone in the Red Hair Pirates started trembling with fear. "What's more, that man has now gone through several battles in front of the whole world. Facing the tired lion, some guys who were afraid to make a move before are probably ready now. Moreover, there is no better opportunity than this to get rid of that man. After all, no one wants to worry about the second 'God' all day long."

Beckman's last deep voice fell. Gurgling. The faces of the entire Red Hair Pirates changed wildly. They realized that their vice-captain Beckman's analysis was correct.

In other words, although the man single-handedly destroyed Mariejois under the world's attention, now, with the emergence of the huge island that is suspected to be a collection of wealth collected by Im in the whole world, I'm afraid that man will face it next time! It's the New World pirates who can't contain their greed because of profit!

It even includes various kingdoms and underground dark forces. After all, facing everything on that giant island that might have been captured, it is possible to replace Im and create a second world government. This is your chance to become the 'God' of the world! The highest power, the status that no one can match, the endless wealth. Plus the best time to get rid of that man. Any one of these things is enough to make people act. Now it's all coming together.

Compared with the illusory One Piece, the temptation between the two is already obvious! The whole world... I'm afraid it's going to be crazy about it!

At the same time, with the state of that man after successive wars that the whole world is witnessing now, according to the analysis of Deputy Captain Beckman, I'm afraid it will be "the enemy of the whole world"! Because all ambitious guys want to be Im! Similarly, they are unwilling to see another monster that can threaten the 'God' continue to exist!
