How Do You Have One Too?
The Whole Cake Island's Ocean.
On the shore of one of the outermost islands of the archipelago that makes up the Whole Cake Island, Ian and his friends are having a barbecue.
The World Government's fleet should be on its way; all we need to do is wait for them here.
The residents of the Whole Cake Island have been urgently evacuated and sent to other islands in the nearby sea.
Fortunately, there aren't many people living in this area, so the work isn't particularly difficult.
Returning to this familiar place, Aunt Linlin and her children had complex expressions and feelings.
This place once belonged to them, but now not a trace of them can be found.
"I really can't wait to see what kind of expression Im will make when he's suddenly hit by Pluton's cannon fire!"
Luo held a large meat skewer in one hand, eating the meat while grinning as he spoke.
"Let's forget about it."
Ian said, "I'd rather he didn't even have time to show any expression before being obliterated into nothingness by a single shot."
Im's abilities are quite troublesome; if we let him unleash his full power, some unexpected situations might occur.
Therefore, all he needs to do is be killed by a single shot before he knows anything.
Unbeknownst to them, Ian unexpectedly reached an agreement with Im.
"Let's not be so lax,"
Dragon walked over. "Even if we're prepared to catch someone off guard, we should be able to gain the upper hand, but don't forget,"
"The World Government also possesses an Ancient Weapon, an Ancient Weapon capable of suppressing Pluton!"
"There's no need to worry,"
Ian calmly stated, "If the Ancient Weapon in the World Government's possession were still usable, they should have been used six years ago."
"Has Pluton exhausted his energy? Does that mean Sky King still has plenty of energy?"
"Why did the World Government allow Dr. Vegapunk to create the Holy Mother's Flame? It can't just be because they want to support the doctor's dream of making cheap energy available to everyone in the world, can it?"
"That's right,"
Teacher Kai laughed, "The World Government acted in such a hurry because they couldn't replenish their energy and were afraid we would find the Last Island and obtain Joy Boy's legacy."
Dragon nodded slightly, agreeing with Ian and Kaido's assessment.
Indeed, if the World Government still possessed the Ancient Weapon, they would have used them long ago. How could they have allowed the Beasts Pirates to go to such an extent?
"Now all we have to do is wait."
Ian chuckled softly.
Without the Holy Mother's Flame, how could the World Government activate Sky King?
At this moment, Pluton is located in the seabed outside the island, and due to its fully enclosed nature, it can be used as a submarine.
The moment the World Government's fleet gets close, they can be instantly annihilated.
And the World Government is indeed approaching at a rapid pace.
In the skies of some New World, a colossal spaceship, resembling an island, is rapidly moving forward.
We are very close to the waters of the Whole Cake Island.
And inside this aircraft.
The newly rebuilt CP0 leader made a phone call.
Stussy was far away on Hachinosu Island, received the call immediately.
"Stussy, have you arrived near Whole Cake Island? To avoid being discovered by the Beasts Pirates, we can't show ourselves directly in the Whole Cake Island waters."
"Certainly!"
Stussy forcefully suppressed the excitement in his voice and simply replied seriously, "My ship is a hundred nautical miles due west of the Whole Cake Island. You can come and pick me up directly."
"So, how are we supposed to meet up? I didn't bring my Vivre Card with me. Since we can't be near any island for security reasons, how are we supposed to find you in this vast ocean?"
"Stay nearby, don't move around."
The person on the other end of the phone said, "You'll know we're here as soon as we show up."
"Ah?"
Before Stussy could even ask any further questions, the leader on the other end had already hung up the phone.
What does it mean to know they've arrived just by seeing them?
Did they assemble an unusually large fleet?
But how could a fleet of this size have sailed all the way to this place without being discovered?
The Beasts Pirates' control over the New World is no joke.
I don't understand.
Let Ian figure out this headache-inducing problem.
Without any hesitation, Stussy made a call to Ian.
After the barbecue party ended, Ian, who was watching an outdoor movie on the beach, immediately answered the phone.
Tesoro immediately turned off the projected Den Den Mushi, and everyone fell silent, staring intently at Ian.
Ian picked up the Den Den Mushi, his face filled with anticipation. "So, they've arrived already?"
"Is that so, Lord Ian?"
Stussy said directly, "I just received a message asking me to meet up with them. I told them I'm waiting for them 100 nautical miles to the west of the Whole Cake Island Sea."
"But when I asked how to meet up with them, they said, 'I'll know they've arrived when they show up.'"
"Ah?"
Ian looked confused. What did that mean?
What is the World Government stirring up now?
We can't really bring the Sky King here, can we?
"Who cares?"
Not understanding what this meant, Ian said nonchalantly, "Let's go and meet them!"
We've already come this far; there's no way we can back down now.
Whatever the World Government has prepared, all we have to do now is go and confront them, and then completely annihilate them!
Then, Law activated his power, instantly transporting everyone to Pluton, who was located beneath the surface of the sea.
Pluton originally lacked the ability to dive, began to move rapidly beneath the surface of the sea, pulled along by the Sea King.
Before long, they arrived at the sea area agreed upon by Stussy and the World Government.
Pluton lay silently beneath the surface of the sea, awaiting the arrival of the World Government.
"It's finally here!"
Teacher Kai's voice was full of anticipation. "I've been waiting for this battle for decades!"
From the moment his homeland's King sold him to the navy, he had longed for such a war!
To completely overturn the world's order and use absolute force to shape the world into his form!
Although the plan has deviated somewhat, and the world will not become like his, but rather like his disciple's, it's still roughly the same.
"Yes, we've finally waited for this moment!"
Dragon's tone was also full of sighs.
Many, many years have passed since the determination to confront the World Government was made.
But to be honest, neither the initial Self-Defense Army nor the later Revolutionary Army actually achieved much success.
In the end, we still have to rely on Ian.
The Red-Haired's eyes were also full of anticipation.
The moment that Captain Roger and everyone else had been waiting for was now about to be witnessed by him.
"Wait! Ian!"
However, at this moment, Ace and Sabo squeezed in front of Ian, the two boys' faces showing obvious panic.
"Should we open fire on the World Government the moment they appear?"
Ace asked somewhat anxiously.
"Certainly."
Ian roughly guessed what they wanted to say, but he still didn't hesitate at all.
"But the old man might be there too!"
Ace's expression was complicated.
Dragon's expression changed instantly as well.
It's not a matter of "maybe," it's a certainty that it will be there.
As a naval hero and a true top-tier force under the World Government, how could his father possibly be absent when the World Government mobilized its full strength to subdue the Beasts Pirates?
but.
"Since this was the old man's own decision."
Dragon didn't want to put Ian in a difficult position, so he spoke up himself, "Then he'll just have to bear the consequences himself."
"Mr. Dragon?"
Ace and Sabo both gave him a surprised look, especially Ace.
"We are now betting the entire world against the World Government!"
Dragon said earnestly, "If we're not careful, the whole world will be doomed forever."
Ian's lips twitched slightly upon hearing this.
Actually, it wasn't as exaggerated as Dragon said.
The World Government has ruled the world for eight hundred years, and for eight hundred years, hasn't the world been doing just fine?
No matter how perverse and reckless the Celestial Dragons are, only a minority are truly persecuted by them.
Most people in this world will never have any connection with the Celestial Dragons from birth to death.
Generally speaking, unless you're extremely unlucky and born in a non- Affiliated Nation or encounter Celestial Dragons carrying out a massacre, living a peaceful life isn't too difficult.
Dragon's statement is indeed somewhat alarmist.
But he was exaggerating from his own perspective, which Ian was naturally happy to hear.
As expected, Ace and Sabo fell silent immediately after hearing what Dragon said.
They were well aware, of course, that if they weren't careful in this situation, they would end up in hell.
The boys instantly became dejected.
Even if they wanted to save the old man, they couldn't possibly ask the whole world to give in to their demands.
"I see."
Ace let out a soft sigh.
Sanji walked over and patted him on the shoulder.
Now that things have come to this, all we can do is silently wish him well and that he will be safe and sound.
Um?
It was at this moment that Ian suddenly raised his head.
"They're here!"
From behind, Enel suddenly spoke up as well.
Here, his and Ian's Observation Haki coverage is the widest.
"But,"
Ian blinked in astonishment, his gaze seemingly piercing through Pluton's cabin to reach the distant sky. "How could this be?"
How did the people from the World Government come down from the sky?
Could it be...?
Meanwhile, in the sky above this sea area.
The colossal Uranus has already reigned here.
Inside one of the rooms containing this Ancient Weapon, high-ranking CP0 officials are observing the situation on the sea below through a special imaging device.
"Hmm? It should be around here, but where is the ship that Stussy mentioned?"
The higher-ups at CP0 were somewhat puzzled.
From such a high vantage point in the sky, they could clearly see any ship, no matter where it was, as long as it was in the vicinity of this sea area.
However, they couldn't find the ship that Stussy had mentioned she was on.
"Could it be that something happened to that woman, Stussy?"
The CP0s found it hard to understand, and instinctively pulled out their phones, preparing to contact Stussy again.
Meanwhile, it was the gathering place for the navy.
"Um?"
Because he is blind, Fujitora, who relies on Observation Haki to perceive his surroundings most of the time, frowned deeply.
"This is..."
He sensed it.
On the seabed, quite a distance below.
It possesses a peculiar aura.
And when he focused his Observation Haki on the past.
His expression changed drastically in the next instant.
"This is bad!!"
The blind man stood up and cried out in panic.
At the same time.
"In the sky?"
Almost simultaneously, everyone let out an incredulous exclamation.
"It's a huge thing, like an island!"
Ian's expression was grave. "If the World Government hadn't found the Float-Float Fruit that Golden Lion once possessed, then..."
"The Sky King?"
Hancock's voice was deep.
Ian nodded slightly. "It's likely that the World Government resurrected Sky King through some means."
Damn it!
"Bullet!"
Without hesitation, Ian immediately shouted at the top of his lungs, "Fire! Enel, go and show him the way!"
Whether or not they are Sky King, there is no time to hesitate now.
There is only one thing that can be done.
That's to give them a good thrashing!
"Hahaha! Then leave it to me!"
Bullet had become one with the ship, his wild laughter echoing from every corner of the cabin.
To be honest, it was a bit disgusting, like it went into his stomach.
Enel instantly transformed into Inazuma and vanished into the metal wall.
Then, in the depths of the sea, the massive cannons rose, and Pluton's ship began to tremble slightly.
A dazzling light shone from the massive muzzle of the main cannon.
The next instant, light burst forth.
The seawater along the way was instantly evaporated, creating a passage in a moment, without hindering the radiance of the light in the slightest.
Then a dazzling beam of light shot from the seabed into the sky, heading directly towards the colossal creature hidden above the white clouds in the distance.
This was absolutely a deadly sneak attack.
but.
"I can't worry about that anymore!"
Fujitora landed heavily on his right foot.
At this point, there is simply no time to report to higher authorities.
Let's put everyone on alert.
Press-Press Fruit power activated!
The enormous object, which had been floating steadily in the sky, suddenly trembled violently at that moment.
Sensing this sudden change, almost instinctively, Observation Haki began scanning the large ship, trying to find out what had happened.
Then.
"What?"
At the heart of the Ancient Weapon, Im, seated on his throne, suddenly contracted his pupils.
That's it!!
"What a joke! Pluton!"
Without him doing anything, a light also shone beneath the massive Uranus.
A purple beam of light shot out in an instant.
Boom!!
The next second, the two beams of light collided with a deafening roar.
The white and purple light clusters suddenly expanded, clashing against each other, and in the blink of an eye, they had expanded to a size of one or two hundred kilometers.
The sea below caved in immediately, and the enormous sphere of light spread out, evaporating and obliterating the seawater, even reaching the seabed thousands of meters deep.
The terrifying force of the explosion deformed the seabed.
Compared to this, the surging waves and howling winds are nothing.
This is a scene that resembles the end of the world.
Meanwhile, the two leaders within Pluton and Sky King had almost the same idea.
"You have one too?"
