“And what we need to do is be the first.”
“Burn away all the unreasonable things in this world.”
“A new world, a new government.”
“Even after hundreds of years, as the first founders of the new government, we will be remembered by people.”
“You will become role models in textbooks.”
“Every newborn will study history after entering school.”
“Open the book, and the photo that meets your eyes.”
“Hmm…”
“The World Federal Government’s strongest fighter, Barrette….”
“The World Federal Government’s strongest fighter, Enel….”
“How is it?”
Barrette’s lips curled:
“That’s truly excellent.”
Enel smiled:
“Indeed.”
“And you, Uncle?”
Sakazuki looked at the equipment screen with a distant gaze, then suddenly chuckled:
“Dictator… Tyrant…”
It doesn’t matter…

Twin Capes, at the Lighthouse.
Inside the stomach of the whale Laboon.
Crocus lay on a sun lounger, reading a newspaper.
Rustle—
His expression froze:
“Hmm?”
After reading it several times, he sighed:
“Another old friend has passed away…”
“Roger ah…”
Crocus felt a sense of shared mortality with these friends who were passing away.
The world had changed too quickly; Roger probably hadn’t expected it either.
Just a few years after disbanding, almost all members were wiped out.
Even Mr. Tom, who built ships, wasn’t spared… Truly…
“Only Shanks and Buggy are left…”
Boom! Boom!
A violent shaking.
Crocus slowly got up:
“It’s starting again… Laboon.”
He went to prepare the tranquilizers…

Grand Line.
An island known as ‘White Land Island’, Baltigo.
Yellow sand swirled incessantly on the island, a harsh environment with few inhabitants.
Even within the Revolutionary Army, very few people knew this.
This was the true headquarters of the Revolutionary Army.
Fish-Man Karate master, Hack.
Also a close friend of the current Seven Warlord, Jinbe.
Outside the base, he was training future revolutionary soldiers.
A group of children trained under Hack’s guidance:
“Lower your center of gravity more.”
“If you don’t have talent and strength, there’s no point in being here, understand!”
“What you will do in the future affects the direction of the world, you absolutely cannot slack off even a bit.”
“Do you understand!!!”
The group of training children, drenched in sweat, shouted:
“Understand!!!”
Sabo, who hadn’t lost his memory, was obviously much more diligent than in the original story, training with double the effort.
Beside him was Koala, whom the Sun Pirates had escorted back to her homeland…
She had appeared here at some point and joined the Revolutionary Army.
Inside the main hall of the secret base.
All sorts of documents covered the walls, and people were constantly meeting and discussing the situation.
After several years of development, the Revolutionary Army’s influence had grown to an incredible level in secret.
Coupled with the developed intelligence network.
Dragon ceaselessly surveyed the overall situation.
Analyzing from a global perspective where to develop next and which talents to recruit.
However, their actions were becoming increasingly conspicuous.
Even the government, despite its sluggishness and arrogance, had begun to target and crack down on the Revolutionary Army recently.
Dragon, however, did not retaliate in any way, merely accumulating strength silently.
At this moment.
An intelligence officer, who had dodged Hack, ran in with a look of shock:
“A major incident!!!”
Everyone in the hall, including Dragon, stopped and looked at him.
The intelligence officer glanced at Hack outside, then lowered his voice:
“Princess Otohime of Fish-Man Island! Assassinated!!!”
Everyone in the hall was shocked:
“What!”
“Who did it!”
“Pirates?”
“How could this happen!”
The developed Revolutionary Army had already gathered a lot of intelligence.
Princess Otohime, who had dedicated several years to working for peace between Fish-Man Island and humans,
was also considered the best cooperation partner in everyone’s minds. Dragon had also praised her actions.
But before they could even advance to the Grand Line, such a thing had happened…
Dragon, after his initial shock, recovered:
“What a pity…”
The intelligence officer looked at Dragon and asked:
“Should we tell Master Hack about this?”
“After all… she is the princess of the Fish-Man race.”
Dragon nodded slowly:
“Tell him, it can’t be hidden.”
“Sigh…”
The intelligence officer said with some seriousness:
“Yes!!!”
A moment later… outside the door.
Hack’s shocked and pained roar could be heard:
“What!!!!!!!!!!”
“How is this possible!”
“This is fake, right!!!”
“Where is Jinbe! Damn it!!!”
Bang—
The door was violently pushed open.
Hack, his eyes red and tears streaming down his face, rushed in:
“Where is the Den Den Mushi!!!!”
He wanted to ask Jinbe! Why did the princess die! What was he doing!!!!

Marine Headquarters, Marineford.
In the Fleet Admiral’s office.
Fleet Admiral Sengoku sat leisurely on the sofa, sipping tea.
As he was about to retire, power was gradually being transferred to Garp, who was getting accustomed to it.
Garp, on the other hand, sat at his desk with a headache, reviewing documents. It had been days…
He simply couldn’t finish reviewing them!!!!
Crack—
He put down his brush and rubbed his temples:
“Now I understand why you always rubbed your temples before.”
“It’s truly… a headache.”
Fleet Admiral Sengoku chuckled:
“It will be like this every day from now on, get used to it quickly.”
“Hahahaha.”
Garp sighed softly:
“I know.”
Rustle—
The door was pulled open, and Sakazuki walked in.
Seeing Garp rubbing his temples, he smiled:
“Fleet Admiral Garp.”
“What is the mission?”
Garp gave a wry smile and gestured for Sakazuki to sit down.
Sengoku, sitting on the sofa, patted the empty seat next to him.
Sakazuki walked over and sat down:
“Fleet Admiral, you are retiring soon, aren’t you?”
Sengoku grinned:
“Still twenty years to go.”
“Hahahaha.”
Garp took out a piece of paper and said:
“This is a mission from the World Government.”
“It’s about the Revolutionary Army.”
Sakazuki looked puzzled:
“Revolutionary Army?”
Garp nodded:
“Yes.”
“A new force on the seas, developing in secret.”
“According to the intelligence investigated by the World Government, many countries have been infiltrated by them.”
“Some have become too powerful to control.”
“This time, CP has investigated a high-ranking executive of the Revolutionary Army.”
“We plan to send someone to apprehend them, and absolutely must not let them escape.”
“Just in case, we still need you to take action.”
“Even if they are killed, we need the body; they must not escape.”
Sakazuki nodded:
“I see…”
“Do you have the information? I’ll depart immediately.”
Garp nodded:
“Yes.”
He took out a stack of papers and handed them over.
Sakazuki stood up, took them, and flipped through them:
“Ivankov, huh…”
