One Piece: The Defender of Justice

Headquarters, Marineford

Inside the Science Base

This is an experimental base that Vegapunk frequently visits. Because of the presence of the Marines, safety is relatively guaranteed.

"Has the research been completed?" Atlas looked at the nearly one-to-one replica of the huge straw hat in the field, amazed.

The technological level of this thing is definitely far above this world. The fact that Vegapunk was able to develop it in such a short period of time is worthy of the title of the world's number one scientist.

Vegapunk shook his head with some dissatisfaction. "The technology on this spaceship is already a bit outdated. I have made slight changes to some places."

"..."

Atlas's expression remained unchanged. "Is interstellar travel possible?"

Now the Marines' presence has spread all over the sea, and pirates from all over the world are gradually withdrawing from the stage of history under the Marines' cleanup plan. It can be said that the original internal conflicts have been almost eliminated. The shortcomings of the Marines' huge organization have already appeared at this time, and the new government has become slightly dissatisfied with the status quo of one dominant power. It is foreseeable that there will be friction between the two in the near future.

And there is this spaceship.

The Marines' journey will be across the stars and the sea. After all, the space pirates in the historical texts do exist.

"No problem at all!" Vegapunk's tone was extremely determined. "It can still be mass-produced."

Atlas stared at Vegapunk, who had a serious face. The corners of his mouth curved, gradually expanding into laughter that echoed in the laboratory.

"Very good!"

Above the Red Line

The strong wind howled, and the robes on Atlas's body were like iron sheets, motionless.

"It's time to end this." He squinted his eyes and looked at the endless vastness below, with scarlet light flowing out of the corners of his eyes.

Earlier, he had boasted to the Marine executives that he would bring the four seas back together, merge the islands into continents, and change the broken geopolitics.

Now, it's time to cash in.

With a thought, mountains and seas changed, and rivers flowed backward. It was like an invisible hand of God was playing with time.

Rumble!!

The Red Line that runs through the entire planet rose from the ground. The red stones collapsed and reshaped, and a red circular continent high in the sky suddenly appeared, only half of it visible in the clouds.

"Wh-what happened? This sudden shaking feeling?!"

"The Red Line... The Red Line is gone?!"

This exaggerated movement naturally attracted the attention of countless people, including some kings of the countries that joined the new government.

"Is this the power of Canos Atlas? He is indeed worthy of being called a god!"

Cobra's eyes were distant, with the Red Line that spanned almost half the world reflected in his eyes, as if he had expected this day to come.

"That guy...really didn't lie?!"

"This is no longer something human beings can do!"

The other kings, harboring different intentions, were naturally uneasy and even frightened. Fortunately, although they were a little dissatisfied with the Marines, their focus on personal ambitions and rivalries kept them from taking any drastic actions.

"I said... Arise from the Holy Land! The four seas will be united!" The Shendu's unique demonic voice echoed throughout the world, penetrating everyone's ears. Before they could react...

Rumble!

The vibration sounded again, and the whole world seemed to tremble nonstop. The always turbulent sea suddenly stopped, and countless islands gathered from all directions. The world... was changing!

Countless people looked at the islands in horror as they moved like meteors across the sky, leaving white trails on the sea. Fortunately, there seemed to be an invisible barrier protecting them. Otherwise, the pressure of high speed might have crushed the weaker ones.

Soon, two continents composed of islands appeared on both sides of the Red Earth Holy Land. The Calm Belt disappeared, and the Sea Kings vanished. Just when the people were in shock, the majestic and mighty voice spread again.

"Today, the mainland is divided into east and west, and the Holy Land resides in the Nine Heavens. I am the Holy Lord! The Soviet Federal Government is established, the countries are reduced to provincial administrative units, and the Revolutionary Army is appointed as an inspection team!"

When the words were spoken, the world fell silent. Seeing such great power, even the most stubborn leaders felt defeated and dared not speak out. They could only hide their full calculations.

———

A few months later, the work of the federal government proceeded in an orderly manner, with Marines stationed in various places on the mainland to suppress dissenting voices. Legal work was also being constantly improved. After all, this was not a simple merger of countries, but a collision between different civilizations. Even though Atlas's deterrence prevented large-scale rebellion, friction and gaps were inevitable. Perhaps under the erosion of time, two different civilizations would be born. All in all, everything was developing in a good direction.

The Holy Land of Red Earth

Atlas sat on the edge of the continent, with his adjutants Ain and Viola on either side. "It's time for Marine to take on the universe." Atlas had a smile on his lips, and his eyes seemed to reflect the sea of stars.

"Has Fleet Admiral Akainu set a date?" Ain tilted her head and looked at Atlas with bright eyes.

"Well, I don't handle the specific affairs of the Marines anymore." After he organized the world, he gave the position of Fleet Admiral to Akainu. The older generation of Marine Admirals were enjoying early retirement, and the new generation of Marines were thriving. However, they still lacked experience against strong enemies. This journey to the stars was a good opportunity. The strong men in the stars were much stronger than those here.

"The future of this world must be left to the next generation." Atlas stood up, moved lightly, and walked towards the central palace. Ain and Viola, who stayed in place, looked at each other, faint sparks of rivalry in their eyes, snorted coldly, and then trotted to follow Atlas's footsteps.

"Brother Atlas, wait for me!" they called out in unison.
