The Strongest Lunarian in One Piece

Half a month later.

Time quietly passed, ushering in the year 1473 of the Sea Circle Calendar.

As the Fallen Angel Pirates launched widespread attacks, the New World underwent drastic changes.

Marine fortresses and outposts were systematically eradicated; those unable to evacuate in time were completely wiped out. During this period, the Fallen Angel fleet clashed multiple times with forces led by Admiral Kong and other Marine admirals.

However, the tide of events was unstoppable.

From the moment El gave the order, the Marines' withdrawal from the New World became inevitable. Despite the efforts of Kong and his forces, their resistance was futile, and nothing could alter the course of events.

Within less than a month, only G-1 Fortress—serving as the Holy Land Mary Geoise's key stronghold at the entrance of the New World—remained under Marine control.

Every other Marine base was abandoned as they retreated to the front half of the Grand Line, consolidating their forces around the G-1 area.

The seas trembled, and the world was in an uproar.

The New World had now become a "paradise" for pirates, sparking a wave of celebration among them.

Yet most of these low-level pirates didn't realize that this was not their celebration—it was the "banquet of the Fallen Angel Pirates."

…

Totland Kingdom, Sky Fortress Atlantis, Dreamland Base

Sally, the Shapeshifting Witch, reported,

"El-sama, we've occupied over a dozen islands previously held by the Marines, including major fortresses like G-11. The Marines have retreated to the entrance of the New World at G-1 Fortress, and there are no signs of them preparing a counterattack."

She continued,

"Additionally, Punk Hazard—the World Government's naval science base—has been captured by Hajrudin and the Ace brothers. However, the naval science team evacuated in advance, destroying or taking all experimental data and even blowing up the facilities."

Pausing, Sally added with a sigh,

"The giants, especially Little Oars, were enraged when they saw the remains of giant warriors and frozen corpses on Punk Hazard. Oars even discovered his parents' remains. In his fury, he turned all captured Marines into paste on the spot and hasn't calmed down since."

El nodded empathetically.

"It's understandable. Losing his parents is no small matter. The fact that Little Oars hasn't completely lost control shows remarkable restraint."

Without hesitation, El instructed Sally,

"Tell him not to worry. Every CP agent and Marine involved in his parents' capture will be dealt with. None will escape justice."

Little Oars was not an ordinary subordinate.

As one of the "Eight Vajra" and a founding member of the Fallen Angel Pirates, he had been with El since the beginning. Their shared history—both orphaned by the World Government—fostered a deep bond of trust and loyalty.

"Understood. I'll see to it that none escape."

Sally's expression hardened, determined to carry out the task. The Fallen Angel Pirates had long perfected the art of eliminating their enemies, whether it was a Marine admiral or a CP agent from years past.

El nodded.

"What about the Shichibukai and the Rocks Pirates? Any movement from them?"

"John, Wang Zhi, and Silver Axe have fled to the first half of the Grand Line, fearing retribution from the Rocks Pirates," Sally replied with a chuckle.

"Chinjao has returned to the West Blue, reportedly training harder than ever out of shame. Naguri and Byrnndi World are adventuring as usual, while the Red Count, Redfield, remains solitary and nomadic."

El sighed.

"Redfield is as aloof as ever. Even as his boss and mentor, I can't change that."

Redfield's ability to hear others' thoughts and his upbringing among corrupt nobles made him detest human interaction, cementing his reclusive nature.

Sally then shifted the conversation.

"As for the Rocks Pirates, they've relocated to Hive Island and are aggressively recruiting while taking over the territories the Marines abandoned. Although John, Wang Zhi, and Silver Axe have left, Whitebeard and Golden Lion remain loyal."

Liliane stepped forward and asked,

"El-sama, with the Rocks Pirates weakened and the Marines gone, should we take this opportunity to eliminate them?"

El shook his head with a calm smile.

"No need. As long as they don't overreach, we can let them share the spoils. They'll distract the World Government and create trouble for them."

He added with a sharp edge to his tone,

"But if they cross the line, we'll remind them who rules the New World."

Sally chuckled, understanding his strategy. Suddenly, she remembered something.

"By the way, we've received news that the Marines have set their sights on Kaido. They seem intent on recruiting him into their ranks, even offering to grant the Vodka Kingdom a seat at the World Summit."

El's interest piqued.

"So they've noticed him already?"

Five years ago, El had secretly visited the Vodka Kingdom and taken the four- or five-year-old Kaido under his wing. Over the years, through covert guidance and training, Kaido had become fiercely loyal to him.

Now, at just under ten years old, Kaido was already the Vodka Kingdom's strongest warrior, with potential unmatched by most.

Sally grinned mischievously.

"For someone so young, Kaido is already a physical prodigy, though not on the level of you or Linlin. With proper training, he's bound to become a top-tier fighter in the future."

She added, "The Marines have no idea he's been under your influence all this time. He might even infiltrate their ranks and rise to Admiral—or higher—someday!"

El smiled knowingly.

"Indeed. A pawn inside their system could prove very useful. Let's see how this plays out."
