Grand Line, Unknown Island.

"Captain, the signal was cut off…" 

Van Augur's voice trembled, and his eyes gleamed with excitement. "It must be fate guiding us to the truth!"

"Jihahahaha!"

"I'm not the only one with ambition!"

Teach's wicked grin spread across his face as a terrifying aura erupted from him, causing all the creatures on the island to shiver and prostrate themselves on the ground.

Florian Triangle Sea, Heart Pirates' Occupied Stronghold.

"Such boring politics!"

Law leaned back on the sofa, crossing his legs. His famed blade "Kikoku" rested by his side, leaning against his chest, as he sneered with disdain.

"Law… the world is about to change!" 

The large white bear, Bepo, chewed nervously on his claws (or were they paws?), trembling as he spoke. "You're a Shichibukai now, and a lot of people are going to come after you."

The content of the recent broadcast had delivered an incredibly heavy blow to the government's authority— there was no doubt about it!

As a result, the Shichibukai, seen as government lackeys, would become prime targets for the enraged pirates.

"What are you afraid of?"

Law let out a cold snort with a confident smile spreading across his face.

"We'll deal with whatever comes our way!"

"The current me is not the same as before!"

"If they dare to come… hehe!"

Hearing his sinister remark, the pirates in the hall behind him trembled in fear, pretending to be deaf and dumb. 

They were all pirates who had come to challenge the new Shichibukai, "Surgeon of Death" Trafalgar Law, hoping to take advantage of his unsettled position and make a name for themselves.

But Law had shown them unimaginable power, taking their hearts.

As a result, every pirate who had come to challenge him, without exception, had become a slave on the terrifying three-masted ship.

With an army of pirates whose hearts he controlled, Law was now a force to be reckoned with!

Century City, Garden in the Sky.

"Because the world is filled with too many unbearable sights, I chose to destroy my own eyes."

Fujitora sighed deeply, turning off the Den Den Mushi. "Tesoro San, the seas are about to experience unprecedented turmoil. I hope you won't underestimate the situation."

"Our financial resources are Vice Admiral Soryu's only reliable support."

"Heh, to be precise, it's *my* financial resources!"

Tesoro, still dressed in his flamboyant pink suit, swirled a wine glass in his hand, smiling slightly. "But it doesn't matter."

"Now that the situation is out of control, do you still intend to stop me, Fujitora Sama?"

Fujitora fell silent at these words.

After a moment, he said, "Very well."

"But, please don't act in Century City. I must ensure a glimmer of hope for the children on this island."

He had initially tried to prevent Tesoro's revenge, knowing it would provoke government retaliation and lead to countless innocent deaths.

But now, even if Tesoro refrained from seeking revenge, it wouldn't make much difference.

It might be better to strike amid the chaos and seize the initiative!

"Naturally!"

Tesoro smiled at Fujitora's response, his cold gaze shifting to the screen projected by the surveillance Den Den Mushi.

On the screen, in a luxurious and elegant hall, a Celestial Dragon, dressed in ornate white robes and with a fishbowl on his head, was eagerly leaning over a glass roulette wheel, clutching a betting ticket.

…

Rowen felt so frustrated he almost coughed up blood.

Reflecting on the years of his meticulous planning, how he had crushed the pirates from their peak, even slaying BIG MOM, thus setting the course of the era…

The year 1518 had been heralded as the "Marine Year," a testament to the greatness of his achievements!

And then…

It turned into this.

First, the Three Emperors united to resist Marine's invasion of the New World, rekindling the pirates' confidence. Then came Orrick's rebellion, striking a blow to the government's authority.

In the original story, it was Luffy who ignited the era. But now, even though the Straw Hat kid was still playing in the first half of the Grand Line, an obscure figure like Orrick had managed to achieve the same impact.

This year is truly cursed!!

It felt as if some force called "Fate" was secretly aiding the pirates in their rise.

At this moment, Rowen could only be grateful that he had adhered to the strategy of "amassing resources and biding time," ensuring his power base was deeply entrenched.

Otherwise, if he had charged ahead recklessly like the pirates, he would have been crushed to dust by this overwhelming tide, with no hope of recovery!

So!

"Starfall Great Explosion!"

In an instant, Rowen twisted and swung his thunder halberd. Just as Lirisk exhaled in relief, his eyes suddenly stung, and his entire vision was consumed by blinding lightning.

Danger!

In his mind, alarms rang out, and without a second thought, Lirisk dropped to the ground, muscles in his arms and legs bulging.

Soru!

His mastery of Life Return surpassed even Rowen's, and combined with the terrifying power boost from Zoan Awakening, he escaped the explosion's range in an instant.

Boom... KABOOM!!

Wild thunder raged, crackling through the air as it unleashed its fury. The devastating explosion echoed in the supreme inner district of Pangu City, reducing large swathes of buildings to rubble, obliterated in the thunder's wrath.

As he gazed upon the shattered Holy Land, a tear slipped from the corner of Vic's eye.

"Sigh!"

When did Mary Geoise come to this?

Perhaps...

It all started that night when Fisher Tiger scaled the Red Line with his bare hands, freeing the slaves?

Tiger, Roger, Orrick... and even Rowen.

So many variables exist.

"Can this era ever return to the path it once followed?"

Blink!

Neither Rowen nor Lirisk paid attention to Vic's lament. Rowen took a step forward with the thunder halberd in hand, and vanished from sight.

At the same time, countless phantoms flickered in the void, leaving behind afterimages wrapped in thunderous storms, making the thunder dragon crescent-sided halberd gleam with blinding brilliance!

Thunderbolt Fury: Final Scene!

BANG!!!

The dark green scale armor, harder than steel, was covered with a thick layer of Armament Haki. The powerful Haki's tremor caused high-frequency vibrations in the air, exuding an overwhelming aura.

Yet despite this, Lirisk was instantly drenched in blood, and was sent flying by a single strike.

Whoosh...

Blood sprayed into the sky in an arc as the dark green lizard-man was launched like a cannonball, crashing into a pristine white building.

The massive stone dome shattered and collapsed, burying him beneath the debris.

"Is that all you've got, Lirisk?"

Clack!

Rowen slowly descended from the air, stepping on the shattered stone steps as he made his way toward the ruined building.

The crisp sound of his shoes striking the floor echoed like the death knell from Hell, pounding in everyone's hearts.

"You've indeed grown a lot, but I've grown even more!"

"Don't forget, in our previous battle, I wasn't even fighting at full strength!"

BOOM!

Purple-black lightning burst forth in the void, a shockwave of near-physical force surged outward, sending debris flying in all directions, leaving a clear space around Rowen.

Having single-handedly slain BIG MOM, Rowen was undoubtedly among the world's elite.

Even if he was slightly inferior to monsters like Kaido and Whitebeard in certain aspects, he was still an opponent Lirisk could never hope to match.

BANG!

With those words, the pile of rubble suddenly exploded!

A massive green iguana, over ten meters long, reared its head and front claws, standing tall among the ruins, letting out a soul-piercing roar.

THUD!

Its front claws hit the ground as its cold, emotionless reptilian eyes locked onto Rowen. The lizard spoke in a chilling voice, "So what?"

Adding to his previous statement, the meaning was clear:

I may not be your equal, but so what?

"Heh!"

"Very well!"

BOOM!

Thunder roared, shaking the heavens and lighting up the vast sky.

As soon as the words left his mouth, Rowen appeared atop the green iguana's head, pressing down with one hand on its scales.

Human Artillery!

BANG!!
