The Might of Pluton! Before the War Begins

In the latter part of the New World, on a stretch of sea where there were no islands nearby, a large, black ship silently sailed to this location.

"Let's do it here,"

Ian leaned forward, his hands bracing against the ship's railing. "To find a more desolate stretch of sea than this, we'll have to venture to the very end of the New World."

The seas of the New World are actually quite empty, as there are only scattered islands, and most of the area is just empty sea.

But who knows just how ferocious Pluton's power truly is? Legend has it that it possesses the strength to destroy the world.

The great battle eight hundred years ago, the clash of two Ancient Weapon, even deformed the earth's crust, causing global sea levels to rise by two hundred meters.

What terrifying power this is!

Even a single shot fired into an empty sea could potentially affect islands far in the distance.

Therefore, it's important to choose a sufficiently spacious location.

"I have already ordered the blockade of all the nearby islands."

Behind Ian, Tesoro spoke, "Unless it's truly a force capable of destroying the entire world, I don't think the government will receive any news about what happens here."

It's actually very simple; you just need to block the Den Den Mushi's communication.

Even though the World Government had placed spies on the surrounding islands, they had neither the opportunity nor the time to send messages back.

Ian nodded slightly.

As expected of my right-hand man, he always considers everything perfectly.

"Then what are you waiting for!"

Teacher Kai excitedly shouted, "Let's fire!"

"Let us quickly witness the power of these legendary Ancient Weapon!"

And who wouldn't look forward to it?

What exactly is the force that can destroy the world?

"Then let's all get ready; the commotion is bound to be significant."

Without turning his head, Ian said, "Bullet, get ready."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

A wild laugh came from behind, and the large, black ship began to shake violently at that moment.

A colossal half-giant rose up on the deck, his head a massive cannon barrel, his body covered with countless cannon muzzles.

The power of the Combine-Combine Fruit has allowed this legendary Ancient Weapon to merge with Bullet.

He can completely control this monstrous warship all by himself!

"Ready to go at any time!"

"So,"

Ian raised his right hand and casually pointed towards the sea ahead.

"Let's try the regular cannon first."

"Yes!"

The colossal giant then raised his right hand, and his five enormous fingers became five heavy cannons.

The next instant, the cannon barrel on the index finger lit up with light.

Laugh!!

A burst of light suddenly erupted, momentarily even obscuring the sun's brilliance.

A dazzling beam of light shot out in an instant, landing on the sea surface far away the next moment.

Boom!!!

Almost instantly, a huge sphere of light rose from the distant sea, like the sun falling into the ocean.

The endless light made everyone unconsciously squint, and the whole world lost its color.

"Ho ho!"

Ian chuckled softly.

This distance, this scale.

The fireball from the explosion alone was on the order of tens of kilometers in length.

The actual extent of the damage was many times greater than that figure.

It's no exaggeration to say that just this one shot would severely damage an island of Dressrosa's scale. Not only would the explosion be devastating, but the resulting blast wave would be enough to wash the entire island's surface clean.

This is just an ordinary cannon mounted on Pluton.

"Is this Ancient Weapon?"

Red-Haired Shanks clicked his tongue. "I understand now why Captain Roger and the others chose to give up back then."

The Ancient Weapon in the World Government's possession should have similar firepower to Pluton.

Without being able to replenish Pluton's energy, there was naturally no chance of defeating the World Government, so Captain Roger and his crew could only entrust everything to the future.

After all, Captain Roger was already terminally ill at that time and did not have time to wait for the energy to be completed.

"That's really outrageous!"

Luo gasped. "There are even stronger cannons, right?"

Ian tilted his head back, gazing at the massive cannon barrel above. "Of course."

Call!!

The raging wind finally came crashing down on us.

Fortunately, everyone who appeared on this deck at this moment was exceptionally strong; otherwise, they would have been blown away.

The violent wind was accompanied by a deafening roar, a truly earth-shattering sound.

Ian couldn't resist picking his ear with his little finger.

His ears were ringing from all the work.

The surging waves came crashing down long afterward, some tens or even hundreds of meters high, nearly shoving the massive ship into the sea.

Hawk Eyes, standing not far behind Ian, drew his sword and slashed horizontally with a backhand motion. The emerald green slash cleaved the surging wave into a sky full of spray.

"Try the main gun, and remember to fire it at a distance, otherwise we might get caught in the blast."

A cool mist hit him in the face, and Ian smiled, a look of relief on his face.

"Got it! Let's go!!"

Bullet was even more eager Ian.

At that moment, the power plant inside Pluton began to tremble violently, and the small flame floating in the liquid began to contract and expand continuously.

Endless energy flows into the weapon system through specially designed pipes, and then condenses into light in the cannon barrel.

Incredibly brilliant light burst forth from the massive cannon barrel above Ian's head.

Then, in the next moment, as if a divine punishment had descended, a pillar of light pierced the sky.

Far, far away, on the still turbulent sea, another terrifying explosion erupted.

The world seemed to freeze the moment the light fell.

Then, a burst of light exploded.

Ian saw a pillar of light that stretched to the heavens and the earth, as if a celestial path had descended from the distant sea, completely connecting the ocean and the sky.

It was as if it wanted to devour them all.

"What is this?!"

Black Maria paled and her body trembled uncontrollably.

Such power is simply incomprehensible.

Despite the vast distance, the scale of the explosion felt as if it were right before our eyes!

The sea was boiling, the sky was trembling, the gale swept everything away, and the thunderous sound silenced the entire world.

Wave after wave of giant waves crashed against them, and Hawk Eyes unleashed slash after slash, shattering the waves. But even so, the large ship was pushed backward relentlessly.

No one spoke, because everyone knew that no matter how loudly they shouted, the sound wouldn't get through; the explosion had drowned everything out.

"Hahaha! Not bad at all!"

But Ian was laughing loudly, even though no one could hear him.

No one knew better than him just how much damage this shelling had caused.

The fireball from the explosion had a diameter of over 100 kilometers.

The Shockwave blasted a huge hole in the ocean, deforming the seabed beneath.

The clouds within a radius of hundreds of kilometers were cleared away instantly.

A truly earth-shattering and destructive force.

That shot would sink even a massive island like Wano Country.

Small island nations like Dressrosa would be wiped out in an instant.

This is Ancient Weapon. It truly lives up to its name as an Ancient Weapon Ancient Weapon!

It possessed power that completely surpassed anything humans could display, a power that even Ian himself at this moment could not match.

No wonder the clash of these two Ancient Weapon sent shivers down the spines of the entire world.

Judging solely from Pluton, they certainly possess this power.

Indeed, in the face of Ancient Weapon, the number of people was completely irrelevant.

The difference in destructive power is on a dimensional level; even all the countries in the world combined probably couldn't withstand a single shot from Pluton.

Dragon's pupils were also trembling violently.

He was incredibly grateful that the Revolutionary Army and the Beasts Pirates had chosen to cooperate.

Only Ancient Weapon can fight Ancient Weapon. Without Ian, how can we defeat the World Government and defeat Im, who has lived for eight hundred years?

"Ooh lol lol lol!!"

The earth-shattering roar finally subsided, and Teacher Kai's maniacal laughter immediately reached Ian's ears. "Such power! Such power! This is the power to conquer everything! All my years of searching have been worthwhile!!"

Ian smiled.

Teacher Kai, don't forget, I'm the one who found Pluton.

Aunt Linlin was completely shocked.

Faced with such power, what does the individual strength we once took pride in amount to?

Let alone Pluton ' main cannon, even the ordinary heavy cannons they just tested were simply beyond their ability to withstand.

The suggestion that Cracker had made earlier resurfaced in Aunt Linlin's mind at that moment.

If this ship were turned into Homie...

However, Aunt Linlin immediately gave up on the idea.

Even if we could actually capture Pluton, it would be meaningless.

Ian is an idiot who's way too strong.

He might not be able to defeat Pluton head-on, but killing her would be very easy.

"Such power!"

Tesoro was more excited than everyone else, and even couldn't help but shout, "Just fire a shot at Mary Geoise, and that will end everything!"

This is exactly what he's been hoping for!

Those worthless Celestial Dragons will be reduced to ashes in an instant.

They vanished without a trace in a physical sense, leaving no trace of them in this world!

Stella! The time for revenge has come!

Isn't this exactly what we've been hoping for?

Ian said with a smile.

The deliberate suppression of information was precisely what they were waiting for—to deliver this fatal blow to the World Government!

Although this decision made Yamato, Teacher Kai, and Battle Mania like Bullet very unhappy, it didn't matter. After dealing with the World Government, there was still the Navy to let them vent their frustrations.

"Tesoro, have the surrounding islands prepare for disaster."

Ian said, "Such an explosion would inevitably cause enormous damage to the surrounding seas."

Fortunately, the distance was far enough; otherwise, these surging waves would have been a true catastrophe for those islands.

"We were already prepared, Lord Ian,"

Tesoro smiled and said, "Disaster prevention measures and post-disaster supplies are all ready."

Ian nodded in satisfaction.

Although his strength is probably not as great as the Gild Tesoro in the original work, in terms of work ability, this Tesoro is in no way inferior to that Tesoro.

"Then let's turn back."

Ian said, "After replenishing our supplies, we should head towards New Mary Geoise."

Pluton's firepower has been proven, so there's no need to wait any longer.

Let's go straight into this final battle.

"Yay!"

Yamato immediately cheered.

I've been waiting for this for so long!

"Is it finally about to begin?"

Teacher Kai's lips curled into a smile, "I've been waiting impatiently for ages!"

"Hahahaha! Let me blast those scum to ashes with one shot!"

Bullet was more excited than anyone else.

After all, he was the one who actually controlled Pluton.

The destruction caused by Pluton is the same destruction he caused; he and Pluton combined to create eighty-one parts.

"Then let's get started!"

Even the Red-Haired couldn't help but get a little excited.

In fact, he knew about his own background.

Roger had told him long ago that he was the child of Celestial Dragons who was found in God Valley.

The Celestial Dragons have contacted him over the years, claiming he is a descendant of Figarland and hoping he will acknowledge his ancestry.

However, Red-Haired himself has no sense of identity as Celestial Dragons.

Blood ties have never been the most important bond in this world; the will to pass on traditions is.

Red-Haired never considered himself a descendant of the Figarland family; he only saw himself as Captain Roger's successor.

And now, the moment Captain Roger has been waiting for is finally about to arrive.

Although he failed Captain Roger's expectations, there was still Ian, at least there was still Ian.

The moment to change the world is now!

Pluton began his rapid return journey towards Wano Country.

After replenishing supplies, the war officially began.

However, while replenishing supplies, Ian also decided to replenish his forces.

He will only take the truly elite troops to that battlefield.

Therefore, people who do not participate in the war can also gain a sense of participation in this way.

Almost simultaneously, New Mary Geoise.

The town, which had only been built a few years ago, was now quiet and deserted.

It seemed that all life had vanished from the city.

The city, which is located high in the clouds, is now shrouded in a heavy shadow.

Because there was a huge object floating silently in the sky.

It was a peculiar creation shaped like Straw Hat.

It is as large as a city.

And at this moment, in the central hub of this behemoth.

Im sat high on his throne, looking down at the kneeling figures below. "We should thank them for their contributions. Without their sacrifice, Uranus wouldn't have been able to be reactivated so easily."

"Next, let's go pick up the marines, and then we can give Ian a surprise."

It was quite a coincidence, to be honest.

One more chapter owed. It's almost the end, but I'm in terrible shape and can't write anymore. I'll start making up for it tomorrow...
