The Navy Turns Against the Government, Aid Arrives from All Sides
East China Sea, Loguetown.
"Everyone, get moving and stay away from buildings!"
The earth began to tremble incessantly, and the waves outside grew ever higher. No matter how hard they tried to believe it, reality forced the navy to evacuate civilians towards the center of the island. However:
"Dad, why are those angels fighting with the navy uncles?"
"And is it true that the god said he would destroy the world?"
The little girl who once accidentally bumped her ice cream on Smoker stood beside the bustling crowd, pointing to the scene on the newly erected giant screen in the center of town, which resembled an apocalyptic judgment, and asked a question.
"Isn't God a symbol of love? Shouldn't angels protect children? Why—"
"Leave those matters to the uncles in the navy,"
The middle-aged man knelt down, picked up his woman, and stroked her golden hair.
"We must trust the navy!"
We can only believe...
"Three-Sword Style: Black Crow: Demon Hunter!!"
The swift blade of light sliced through a dozen angels covered in Haki golden knight plate armor, but the next second, dozens more Angel Puppet swarmed in, much to Zoro's annoyance.
"Tsk, that Roman guy~~"
He's reliable as an ally, but a formidable enemy, even if he's just a creation of his abilities. "White Vine!"
A sudden cloud of smoke from the side trapped more than a dozen Angel Puppet, and then:
Puff, puff, puff!
After the large Jitte, inlaid with Seastone, shattered Haki domineering aura on the surface of the puppets, the special effects of the Seastone instantly interfered with these creations, which were essentially 'White Knight', causing them to rapidly collapse and turn into falling white paper.
It must be said that although Smoker suffered three consecutive defeats after his reappearance two years later, his method of trapping enemies with smoke and then stabbing them with Seastone is truly effective at crushing weaker Devil Fruit users, and it works equally well against Devil Fruit creations.
"Isn't this 'White Hunter'? We should keep chasing him—"
Just as Zoro turned to look at Smoker, an Angel Puppet beside him suddenly slashed at him with its sword.
Clang!
Zoro didn't turn around or make any move! Because a figure wearing a pink officer's coat was already blocking his way.
"Thanks, girl with glasses~~"
"Hmph, my name is Tashigi!"
Tashigi, puffing out her cheeks in anger, gritted her teeth as she struggled to hold off the Angel Puppet.
"Isn't this the time for leisurely conversation?"
Bang!
Amidst the violent explosion, Zoro leaped forward! His target was none other than the bald, bespectacled old man in a bathrobe among the Five Elders, wielding the First Generation Kitetsu.
"You're a swordsman too, aren't you?"
Come and have a go with me—
Clang!
"Is this really a good idea, Lieutenant Vice Admiral Smoker...?"
The Navy and pirates teaming up is simply unimaginable! Although Tashigi has witnessed many mind-blowing events since traveling with the Straw Hat crew, this is still something else entirely —Holy Land Mary Geoise representing the highest power of the World Government, so close to the Marine Headquarters ...
"Ha, since the World Government wants to 'rebel,' then our Navy will certainly uphold justice!"
······
"Justice!!!"
On the other side, Akainu was much more 'carefree'. With his fists waving, huge Magma Fist kept shooting into the sky! Once they landed on the Angel Puppet, they immediately took advantage of the viscous and scorching properties of magma, quickly piercing through the surrounding Haki, and then igniting each angel into a torch.
It could be said that his Magma-Magma Fruit was the natural counter to these Angel Puppet, whose essence was still paper. As long as he burned through the outer layer of Haki, he could immediately destroy the opponent. He was like a volcanic eruption that killed hundreds or thousands of Angel Puppet, forcing the Five Elders to send two people to deal with him.
"Akainu, are you insane?!"
"You're all insane! How dare you let a woman destroy the world? Today, in the name of justice, I will wipe you out!"
"All Marines, listen up! Take down these thugs from the World Government!"
????
"I'm so angry..."
The two Five Elders were so angry they couldn't speak. "Rebellion! Rebellion!!"
Ordinary people are like cockroaches; they die, and a few years later, they're back in droves, spreading across the world. But the God of the Celestial Dragons, absolutely cannot be allowed to fail! This concerns the Celestial Dragons' eternal, transcendent status and their riches and glory, therefore:
"Quickly, eliminate these traitors!"
Black suits, armored guards, CP0 experts...
Even a group of Celestial Dragons wearing fishbowls on their heads grabbed guns and fired wildly. After all, even the most foolish person could see that the situation was dire. As descendants of the former Twenty Kings, their bloodlines were top-tier. Even if they were raised like pigs, they were still quite capable.
Of course, there were also cowards who ran away:
"Huff~ Huff~ Huff~~"
A Celestial Dragons, equally obese as a pig, frantically fled back to his 'hometown,' only collapsing to the ground, panting heavily, after reaching his familiar room. Just then:
"What's the matter, Saint Flucto?"
In the room, a tall man stood with his back to him, swirling a slender wine glass in his hand. The golden liquid inside swayed, reflecting the blood-red eyes of its owner.
"Who... who are you?"
The fat, pig-like Celestial Dragons was startled when the man appeared in his room, but:
"Whoever you are, go out and wipe out those traitors! I will reward you handsomely afterwards..."
"I own 20% of the world's wealth, I am the most famous star in the world, I am a king, but all I want is:"
The man turned around, his gray-green hair slicked back, topped with purple sunglasses. He wore a flashy pink shirt and pants, which, despite their flamboyant appearance, were accentuated by his imposing physique, giving him the air of a yakuza boss. Of course:
The mixture of despair and pleasure in his bloodshot eyes was even more terrifying.
"My former lover, Stella."
Now I have money, more money than I can spend! But I've lost you forever...
"Women? What kind of woman do you want? I'll give you one—"
Gild Tesoro smiled slightly at the Celestial Dragons fat pig who was still trying to 'buy' him. It was a cruel smile!
"Twenty years ago, you stole Stella from me right in front of me!"
?!
"Wait, can I return that female slave... no, no, the woman to—?"
The next second, this fat, pig-like Celestial Dragons's mind unusually raced for a moment. "Damn it, none of my female slaves can last three years—"
Thump!
The fat Celestial Dragons, held by the neck by Tesoro, watched in despair as the golden creature crawled over his body from the other's hand, managing only a faint sound. The only sound in the room was a maniacal laugh that sounded like weeping and wailing!
Hahahaha!!!
Squeak,
"BOSS,"
The door opened again, Tesoro snapped his fingers as he faced his three subordinates dressed in golden armor.
"Let's go! How can we miss such a grand stage?"
In the room behind him, all that remained was a 'pool' of eerie golden mud.
"Princess Vivi, please leave here!"
Bell and Chaka, wielding longswords, flanked Vivi. Although the Alabasta royal family had finally escaped the embarrassment of not even knowing what Haki was thanks to the Haki training manual given to them by Roman, however:
After all, it's only been two years, and not everyone is a genius like Roman, Luffy, or Zoro. Bell and Chaka's Haki is only at a beginner level—the kind where they're surrounded by Haki, but it's completely undetectable. Even with their Devil Fruit abilities, they can barely defend themselves...
Hahaha~~
Amidst a burst of Haki laughter, sandstorms swept across the sky, and the entire land withered and dried up, rapidly turning into a golden desert!
"They're right, Ms. Wednesday."
?!
"Crocodile Crocodile!"
A man clad in a mink coat, smoking a cigar, and wielding a massive Golden Hook in his right hand rapidly emerged from the swirling yellow sand. Crocodile, his lower body a swirling Sables, looked down at Vivi and her companions.
"This is not a battlefield for a weakling like you. Get out of here and go to the back!"
"What's your purpose in coming here? Are you still eyeing Ancient Weapon?"
Faced with Vivi's questioning, Crocodile turned to look at the Angel Legion swirling in the sky. Each angel was equivalent to a prominent figure on the high seas, indeed a force powerful enough to overturn the world. However:
"Ancient Weapon? I no longer care about them, because I want to surpass those things—"
"Here we go, Mr. 1!"
"Good,"
As Crocodile, riding the sandstorm, charged toward the Angel Legion, Daz Bones, the user of the 'Slicing-Slicing Fruit' whose arms transformed into blades, followed closely behind!
"Crocodile,"
Now that things have come to this, what kind of 'hero' are you still playing?
No, Crocodile only entered this battle because he wanted to, nothing more! But even the forces fighting alongside him...
"Well, if you also want to fight..."
?!
Vivi and her two friends turned around abruptly and saw a cute little girl standing behind them. She was wearing a pink hat, a blue sky and white cloud shirt, a paintbrush in one hand and a palette in the other, and her hair was tied in pigtails.
"Ms. Golden Week?"
"My name is Marianne, and I currently work as a painter at the Spider Bar, but..."
The little girl's paintbrush points to Imu in the sky.
"At this rate, our bar simply can't stay open."
No, no, no, even without Imu, your bar would be meaningless. —Located in the middle of a desolate desert, with more employees than customers in a year...
"So, if you want to fight, I'll help you."
?
"Ugh, why is everyone chasing after me?!"
Because of a bottle of wine Usopp turned the tide of the battle and successfully obtained what he had always dreamed of:
All eyes are on us!
"I don't want this kind of treatment at all!!"
Not only were CP0 experts hot on his heels, but even the Angel Legion in the sky noticed this 'culprit' and sent a large force to attack him, leaving the 'heroic Sea Warrior's in tears all the way!
Enjoy the treatment afforded to 1 billion men ahead of time—
"Charge, Jackal Legion!"
In the desert created by Crocodile, countless wolf-headed men, each over three meters tall and resembling Anubis, suddenly emerged, allowing everyone on the battlefield to clearly see the chilling light emanating from the blades of their hellish halberds, the sharp teeth in their roaring maws, and their bodies solidified by the yellow sand.
The wolf-headed warriors howled, their voices coalescing into a deafening, massive wave of sound. They stomped the earth, kicking up clouds of dust that swirled and tumbled through the air! Wielding their weapons, their mere presence exuded a menacing aura and terrifying power even from afar! Countless wolf-headed warriors formed a colossal, destructive wave, their thunderous roar carrying a suffocatingly powerful pressure as they surged towards Usopp!
??
Brush--
Then, bypassing Usopp, they charged towards the CP0 experts behind them.
"Stop them, Golden Eagle Warrior!"
At the same time, a legion of golden eagles with wings on their backs, wearing gleaming golden armor with eagle-shaped helmets, and wielding scepters formed of pure radiance, met the Angel Legion in the sky! Although they were not as strong as the Angel Legion, they managed to stop them even without regard for their own strength.
???
"You are..."
"It's Usopp. I'm Chaka." Chaka, now a wolf-headed human adorned in opulent gold, smiled gently, an expression incongruous with his usual appearance. "Our appearances have changed slightly."
Zoan, Dog-Dog Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Anubis form (fake).
No, no, no, this is far more than just a little bit.
It's like they're two completely different people! Usopp was speechless, looking at Bell, who had also transformed into a white-robed Golden Eagle Warrior in the sky.
Zoan, Bird-Bird Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Nut form (fake)
Is this your dream?
On the other side, facing Vivi, who was wearing a skull hat, a captain's coat, a musket at her waist, and Fire Pistol under her 'Dream Rainbow', Miss Golden Week pointed forward.
"Since it's a 'dream,' let's go and make a big splash."
P. S.: Alabasta is based on Egypt, but it suffered from being introduced too early; otherwise, Chaka and Bell's Devil Fruit definitely be Mythical Zoan. Anyway, Golden Week embodies the will of the 'painter'; under her brush, anything is possible.
