World Order

Two years have passed since that great war that nearly rewrote the course of the world, and the major powers have completed a new round of reshuffling.

Among them, the three strongest forces are the Dreamland Kingdom under the rule of Nightmare, the World Government under the leadership of the Five Elders, and the Revolutionary Army led by the revolutionary Dragon. These three forces can be said to have divided up the entire sea.

The Dreamland Kingdom is a colossal entity that appeared in the eyes of the world after Nightmare integrated a series of powerful forces, including the original Phantom Sword Grand Fleet, the original Big Mom Grand Fleet, the original Marine Science Unit, Wano Country, Elbaf, Impel Down Great Prison, Fish-Man Island, and the Donquixote Family.

Although it is only located in the New World in the latter half of the Grand Line, its strength is so great that it can be said to occupy half of the world, and it has even been given a series of terrifying titles such as "Destruction Continent" and "Crimson Dreamscape".

The World Government," second only to the Dreamland Kingdom, goes without saying. They were originally the rulers of this world, and their 800 years of profound foundation are unimaginable to ordinary people. Even after suffering a huge upheaval, they have gradually recovered during the past two years of recuperation.

The Marine Headquarters was rebuilt on the ruins of the past. Although it no longer possessed the power to suppress the Grand Line, it was still a force to be reckoned with, ruling over the first half of the Grand Line.

As for the Revolutionary Army, although it is still somewhat inferior to the two behemoths mentioned earlier, it is thriving under the leadership of the Revolutionary Army leader, especially since the world order completely collapsed two years ago. More and more people have chosen to join the revolutionary wave, making the Revolutionary Army stronger and stronger, and the footprints of "comrades" have spread Four Seas.

According to the most authoritative World Economic News, the Dreamland Kingdom already occupies 40% of the world's share, the World Government occupies 35%, the Revolutionary Army occupies 15%, and the rest are just small fry.

In short, since the day known as "Doomsday" two years ago, the world has been in a strange balance. Although the major powers are constantly clashing and wars of all sizes have never stopped, a world war similar to that of two years ago has not occurred again. Under the undercurrents, it seems that they are waiting for the day when the volcano will finally erupt.

Ruskaina, an uninhabited island in the northwest of Maiden Island.

"Wow, it's been two years already!" The man holding the Straw Hat brushed the snow off the brim and exclaimed with emotion.

"Luffy, do you really have to leave?" Hancock pleaded.

"Yes, I have reasons that I have to leave..."

"Are you going to find your companions, and... to take revenge on that man?"

"Hmm... I've been waiting for this day for far too long!"

"But... but you have no idea how powerful that man has become. Even the World Government has to bow its proud head before him. He can be said to be the most powerful and influential man in this world. If you go to the New World now, you might not even get to see him before you are defeated!"

"I understand..." Hancock paused for a moment, then forced a smile and said, "Luffy, I have prepared a ship for you, and it is piled with your favorite food. I believe you will be able to fulfill your wish."

"By the way, Rayleigh set off for the New World half a year ago. A few days ago, news came that he found your crewmates in the New World, but..." Hancock looked worried, unsure how to tell Luffy what to say next.

"What? Zoro, Sanji, and the others aren't dead? Hancock, you're so kind! Thank you for telling me this!" Luffy extremely excited. He jumped onto Hancock and hugged her tightly before letting go of her.

"Ah! No, no, no... It's nothing, just be careful." Hancock gasped as she collapsed to the ground, having completely forgotten what she had wanted to say earlier.

After hearing news of his crewmates, Luffy finally broke free from his past gloom and confidently embarked on his journey. "Nightmare, this time I will stand before you squarely and defeat you completely!"

Sabaody Archipelago.

Slurp, slurp, slurp.

"Mmm, delicious! Boss, ten more bowls, please!" Luffy had already piled the bowls and plates high on the table, and his round belly seemed like a bottomless pit, which shocked the surrounding diners, who suspected that he was the Devil Fruit User of the Rice Bucket Fruit.

"Guest... guest, please wait a moment. I've already told the chef to expedite the preparation. It'll be ready soon, very soon!" The boss wiped away his sweat and retreated. It was truly unbelievable; the chef's cooking couldn't even keep up with this monster's eating speed.

"Okay~_~, then you'd better hurry up!" Luffy said weakly, drawing out his words.

"Hey, do you guys remember those Supernovas that wreaked havoc on our Sabaody Archipelago two years ago?"

"How could I forget? Those were all formidable characters with bounties exceeding 100 million in the first half of the Grand Line! Why bring them up all of a sudden?"

"A bounty of over 100 million? Supernovas?" Luffy, who hadn't experienced the Sabaody incident as his original trajectory had, listened curiously to the conversation around him.

"They had already made quite a name for themselves in the New World, even overshadowing many great pirates. Unfortunately, their ambitions were too great, which ultimately led to their demise."

"Ambition? What did they do?"

"Heh heh, Captain Eustass Kid, Scratchmen Apoo, and gangster Capone Bege, Pirate Alliance composed of three Supernovas, actually dare to overestimate themselves and want to challenge the king of the Dreamland Kingdom, Nightmare."

"Are they crazy? Putting aside the fact that Nightmare is the World's Strongest Man, every one of his subordinates is a terrifyingly powerful figure with earth-shattering strength. I think these so-called Supernovas wouldn't even be able to get close to Nightmare!"

"You were right. After wiping out several small, roving forces, they finally attracted the attention of Lord Crocodile, the Desolate Knight under Nightmare. After a fierce battle, the pirate crews of the three Supernovas were all wiped out, with only the three captains escaping. It was truly a tragic scene!"

"Nightmare is a powerful figure who single-handedly destroyed an era. Those who dare to challenge him are probably either crazy or idiots, hahaha!"

Luffy: "..."

"Forget it, now that I know about Zoro and the others, I won't bother with these ordinary people." Luffy thought listlessly, having lost even his appetite. "Boss, the bill."

"Coming, coming!" The owner was eager for the monster to leave, otherwise they wouldn't have enough chefs for their restaurant. "Sir, will you be paying in cash or by card?"

"Swipe... swipe card?"
