In the end, Sakazuki was unable to pursue the remaining pirates.
The pirates ultimately failed to break the Dark Bird Alliance's blockade and restore the New World to its original state.
The Navy ultimately failed to gain the morale it hoped for, as Big Mom was eventually killed by Aramaki, and Whitebeard was killed by Gawain.
This is the result...
Even though the navy worked hard for two whole days and nights, they were still just doing all the work for the Dark Bird Ship.
As for the other vice-presidents and powerful figures?
They're not monsters or Four Emperors, so what good are they?!
In short, this was a war that... neither side was entirely satisfied with.
Gawain and the crew of the Dark Bird Ship should have been satisfied, after all, they had achieved enough results.
But let's not forget that the Propaganda Alliance is, after all, a newly formed group. This group, which is about to enter the world of war, is experiencing its first large-scale loss of teammates!
Speaking of soldiers, the soldiers of the Dark Bird Ship actually understand that feeling very well. Almost all of them have taken turns being stationed at the Reverse Mountain, and they have tasted the bitterness of their teammates dying far too many times.
Currently, those who are unable to extricate themselves from their suffering are more likely to be the mid- to high-ranking officers of the Dark Bird Ship.
Just like how Gecko Moria's death brought tears to Perona's eyes.
For the past three days, every meal Gawain has eaten has been imbued with sorrow.
Although the food was still delicious, the feeling of being unable to stop crying while eating it was truly unpleasant.
But Gawain had no choice, because Sanji's sister had died.
That was Sanji's Sanji older sister, and the only elder he thought loved him...
Gawain didn't try to persuade Sanji; someone like Gawain understands that saying all too well.
Do not advise others to do good if you have not experienced their suffering.
If it were Hancock or Gion who died instead...
Sigh, even if Gawain is incredibly strong, he probably can't help but feel nostalgic and saddened in the middle of the night, and might even shed tears for it...
In short, for three days after the battle, the Dark Bird Ship was enveloped in a deep atmosphere of sorrow.
Doctors like Law, Chopper, Crocus, and Kureha were too exhausted to even grieve.
Chopper didn't even cry anymore, because for two whole days after the war started, Chopper cried while undergoing surgery.
Now...
He had almost cried all his tears...
The memorial ceremony was held two days ago, Gawain erected a huge monument to commemorate the battle and to inscribe the names of everyone who died in it.
This gesture served as a small consolation to the soldiers who were in pain.
At the same time, the Dark Bird Ship even took away 80 percent of the circulating alcohol in Mary Geoise. The unlimited supply of alcohol finally brought back some vitality to this ship that had only recently set sail.
And Gawain...
At this moment, he sat upright on the mast of the Dark Bird Ship, gazing forlornly at the sky.
Apart from Aramaki, everyone else was recovering from their injuries, with Hancock and Gion being so badly injured that they couldn't even get out of bed.
Aramaki was in good condition, so he led a team to cooperate with the Navy to retrieve Garp from the seabed.
It is said that they have made progress and will likely be able to pull Garp out of the silt 20,000 meters below the seabed soon.
Garp is probably too deeply involved. Pirates are all incredibly strong, and each of them weighs at least a ton.
It's easy to understand that their muscle density is already beyond what ordinary people can imagine, not to mention their height is almost 2.5 meters or more!
With such height, coupled with extraordinary muscle and bone density, it's not hard to understand why he's so heavy.
Garp is actually quite light, weighing only a little over a ton.
Characters like Whitebeard, Big Mom, and Kaido.
Their combined weight jumped to around twenty tons, which was truly terrifying.
At this moment, Gawain sat on the mast, silently watching the salvage operation.
As he watched, a figure humbly climbed up the mast.
The dead panda, also known as the Spandam General, cautiously crawled to Gawain's vicinity, then knelt there and shuffled closer to Gawain.
Upon arriving near Gawain, Spandam, with a grim face, cautiously spoke to Gawain.
"My lord, I have almost completed the task you previously assigned me."
The metal you need has been laid along the currently developed Sea Train railway.
So, you can now try to see what the little guy and Lord Franky have accomplished!
After he finished speaking, Spandam waited humbly.
After nodding, Gawain gently patted Spandam on the shoulder.
"Really? Very quick, well done."
Gawain offered a lukewarm compliment, then stood up and followed Spandam in the direction Spandam was heading.
Jump, fall in the wind, and land.
Bang.
After crashing to the ground, Gawain shook his ankle, still somewhat unaccustomed to the impact.
This time, it seems I've acquired Whitebeard's talent, and even the talent of Whitebeard at his peak.
Then...
My physical condition has been further improved.
Whitebeard did not have much physical talent when he was young, and he was completely incomparable to Kaido, who had the body of a demon.
However, it must be admitted that Whitebeard's talent in developing his own body far surpasses that of Kaido.
Kaido Devil Fruit is by no means weak; its Mythical Zoan is even rarer than the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.
Even when Whitebeard was over seventy years old, Kaido, who possessed even stronger initial physical talents, was still no match for Whitebeard!
What?
You're saying Kaido is still young?
Have you ever seen a young person who is nearly sixty years old?
Do they really not value old age at all?
Whitebeard is truly old, but Kaido has long been at his peak!
Why can't I still beat them?
It's nothing more than a matter of intelligence!
Kaido isn't particularly intelligent, and even with the strongest physical talent, he can't properly develop it.
This is evident from his daughter. There's a reason why his daughter is so stupid; genetics plays a significant role!
In less than a year, Gawain developed Kaido's talent to Gawain that surpassed even Kaido's physical abilities.
Tsk tsk, Teacher Kaido is ultimately all about hitting the bullseye...
And the Whitebeard.
After acquiring the talent of Peak White, Gawain's physical development speed increased rapidly. In just three days, Gawain's physique improved significantly.
This has made it difficult for him to walk, and he occasionally breaks things.
Despite feeling uneasy about the overwhelming power, Gawain arrived at Franky's workshop, where he finally saw the enormous chair made of Pure Gold and decorated with endless patterns!
Seeing that Gawain had arrived, Franky breathed a sigh of relief, then went to Gawain's side and whispered.
"Giao!"
Sir, hehe!
I have successfully connected the Sea Train and the Dark Bird Ship!
I have constructed thousands of almost invisible metal threads on the hull of the Dark Bird Ship, which can float with the ocean currents. These metal threads perfectly match the metallic material inherent in the Dark Bird Ship itself, allowing you to use the Rumble-Rumble Fruit to manipulate it perfectly.
From now on, you can sit in this seat specially designed for signaling and extend the steering force to the wire through the metal connection between the seat and the hull.
By simply placing the metal wire along the nearest Sea Train track, your influence will immediately permeate the entire Sea Train track!
Considering that the tracks of the Sea Train stretch across the entire Grand Line.
So, let's calculate based on an ideal scenario.
Once you successfully connect to the Sea Train, you will instantly possess a skeleton built from all the Sea Train tracks!
In this way, your perception will spread across almost the entire ocean, following the tracks of the Sea Train!
At this point, Franky waved excitedly at the Golden Throne.
"My lord, hehe, come and give it a try!"
What I'm saying sounds nice, but it's all theoretical. How far the perception can actually spread depends on your manipulation and the combination of materials between different orbits.
If I want to continue to revise and upgrade the materials, I need you to use them yourself and provide feedback.
Come, Gawain!
"Then, for the sake of the whole world, sit on that golden throne!"
At this point, Franky, who was known for his eccentric and silly personality, surprisingly bowed like a gentleman.
Watching Franky's actions, Gawain took a deep breath and then nodded heavily.
"You did a great job, Franky."
After offering a simple compliment, Gawain, his heart pounding with excitement, approached the Golden Throne.
Even now, the Five Elders regret that they underestimated Gawain's speed of growth and failed to pay close attention to Gawain desire for Devil Fruit!
Originally, the Five Elders planned to give Gawain a Mythical Zoan, an important part of the Celestial Dragon' heritage, once he reached a certain level of strength, so that Gawain could eventually become powerful.
As a result, not long after Gawain set sail, the impatient Gawain ate a Rumble-Rumble Fruit!
This is the thing the Five Elders regret the most.
Gawain doesn't even know he likes Devil Fruit. If he had said so earlier, we would have given him the Mythical Zoan right before we set sail!
However, the Five Elders would never have imagined this.
The moment Gawain decided to eat the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, a truly magnificent plan was already brewing in his mind!
Rumble-Rumble Fruit is pure electricity, so... Gawain wanted to fill the whole world with electricity, just like electricity in later generations!
At this very moment, when the Sea Train had finally spread to nearly half of the Grand Line.
Gawain's plan can finally be put into action!
Once he sits on the Golden Throne, Gawain will have the ability to spread his electricity throughout the world via the tracks of the Sea Train!
By then.
The next moment, Gawain strolled forward and then sat directly on the Golden Throne.
A moment later, the entire Dark Bird Ship trembled, and the hairs on everyone's body stood on end for a split second!
Mihawk raised his head in confusion, glancing blankly in Gawain's direction.
For some reason, my Observation Haki is malfunctioning!
He felt as if Gawain was everywhere at that moment!
Even his own Observation Haki kept reminding him of this.
Watch out for the Dark Bird Ship!
The feedback that Observation Haki gave him regarding the Dark Bird Ship was...
He didn't see the Dark Bird Ship as a ship; he felt that the Dark Bird Ship had come to life!
Meanwhile, on the seabed.
Countless metal wires were twisted together and then tightly locked onto the Sea Train tracks near Sabaody Island.
The next instant.
Sizzle!
A blue light suddenly appeared, and the entire Xuan Dark Bird Ship instantly turned pure blue!
Immediately afterwards, Inazuma flashed across the Sea Train!
Everyone who was near the Sea Train at that moment felt their hair stand on end!
The next instant.
Gawain suddenly closed his eyes.
His body, which sat regally on the Golden Throne, was lifeless, as if he were a corpse!
But at the same time...
The first figure to appear on the Dark Bird Ship was Gawain.
Next, Sabaody Station, Water 7 Station, Impel Down Station, Alabasta Station!
All the way to the farthest stations, Reverse Mountain and Dressrosa, at each station, a figure of Gawain, formed from Inazuma, appeared!
In the next instant, boundless Observation Haki spread rapidly across the entire Grand Line, centered on each Gawain!
At this moment, countless creatures in the Grand Line looked around in confusion!
"I want to experience more!"
They vaguely heard a voice.
"That's not enough! My Observation Haki can expand further; I want to sense even more!!!"
More and more creatures heard that voice, and they also felt the impulse that Gawain was feeling Gawain at that moment!
Just like he said, he wants to experience more!!!
But just as he was desperately expanding his sensory range, Gawain's body, which was like a corpse, suddenly trembled twice.
The next moment, countless thoughts flooded into Gawain's mind!
"Who are you!"
"What do you!"
"I can feel your efforts, and I want to help you!"
"Shut up! Only the king can command us!"
"Are you Roger? You've reappeared!"
"I miss you so much, I thought you were dead!"
"Roger, you're finally back! It's been so long!"
"Is this Roger, the one Dad talked about? I've finally met you! Now I can talk to people like Dad does. I have so much to tell you, because I've been holding it in for so long. As a pine tree, sob, no one talks to me, nobody pays attention to me, even if I shout until my throat is hoarse, they still ignore me. I really shouted until my throat was hoarse!!!"
"You're back!"
I can feel you, keep going!
"Keep going, life! We'll wish you well!"
"Damn, Gawain, you can Voice of All Things! I'm so envious!"
"It's Gawain!"
"It's the Rumble-Rumble Fruit! Destroy the nearby railway!"
"No, there's Gawain standing on the tracks, watching us!"
"Use bombs, or we'll all be living under his nose!"
"It's no use, the rails are actually covered in Armament Haki!"
"Damn it, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit can actually be used like this!"
"I'm going to kill someone!"
"He deserves to die!"
"Kill him, and I'll be the man my sister-in-law loves most!"
"Kill!"
"The neighbor's going to kill someone, and you ask who I am? I'm just a snail in the yard."
"So many people have died. My master was a lieutenant who didn't earn much money. He's dead, meow, so sad."
"How could God die? My God is gone! No one feeds me anymore, no one plays frisbee with me, no one pets my head, and no one cuddles me to sleep with! Waaaaaah!!!"
Whose voice is that?
"Child, has a child appeared who can talk to me?"
If so, please listen to me and express yourself to me as much as possible.
Don't worry that I will bring you danger. As long as you are not discovered by Imu and her Celestial Dragon, you will be safe, child.
"I am Eve."
