The Red Line, resembling a ravine, stretches across the entire ocean and is named for its red soil covering its surface.

On this continent exists a world-class power: the World Government, the government that is now openly recognized on the high seas.

Steep, rugged, and desolate—this is a true reflection of this continent.

And the Holy Land of Mary Geoise stands here, meaning that on this continent, any order given could stir up waves in the calm sea.

Most importantly, there exists a type of human being here who is deeply hated and despised by the world, and people wish they could skin them alive and tear them to pieces: the World Nobles, the Celestial Dragons.

The Celestial Dragons are descendants of the zero kings who established the World Government 800 years ago. For this reason, they consider themselves "descendants of the Creator." They are an arrogant and domineering group who consider themselves great and are known as the biggest scourge of the sea.

However, there is no doubt that this group of brutal, enslaving, and cold-blooded people can sometimes directly interfere with the decisions of the World Government.

Moreover, these inhuman beings disdain breathing the same air as ordinary people, and thus wear bubble hoods year-round. Most importantly, they arbitrarily treat people of other races as slaves, and if offended, the Marine Headquarters will dispatch Admiral to protect them. In this way, the entire world, at certain times, serves this group.

Male dragons usually add the word "saint" to their names, while female dragons add the word "palace" to their names, because in this way they can show their greatness.

Pavilions and towers, shrouded in mist, and through the dark moonlight, luxurious architectural complexes stood faintly visible on this red continent.

However, Mary Geoise, which had been untouched by any threat and had not seen any riots for centuries, was suddenly engulfed by a small flame under the cold moonlight. The flame grew from weak to strong, and in an instant, it spread across the entire region.

Alarms flashed everywhere, people came and went, and the air was thick with smoke. The raging flames illuminated the entire Mary Geoise.

"Oh no! Fire! The slaves have rioted!"

The firelight was blinding, and on the haphazardly crisscrossing streets, countless law enforcement officers, armed with weapons, chased after one after another of these people—ragged, emaciated, with empty yet hopeful eyes.

"I'm free soon!" Giants broke free of his restraints, soaring like a giant eagle, and roared.

"Those damned Celestial Dragons, I'll kill them all once I escape!"

"Haha, I'm free!"

"Run! Get out of here!"

Various races, like refugees, rushed forward, like a surging tide of people, engulfing all around them.

Among the rioting refugees, three thin figures of about Sixteen or seventeen years old were cautiously fleeing. Behind them, a Fish-Man with a headscarf, thick curly hair, a wide mouth, a full beard, and a few stubble stubbles on his upper lip was setting fires to rescue everyone.

The urgent "Brubru" of the Den Den Mushi) lit up the entire Marineford Fleet Admiral's Office. Rear Admiral the generals above the rank of Major General, except for one, were present.

"A riot has broken out in Mary Geoise. A Fish-Man has released all the slaves, and the Five Elders have ordered the navy to suppress it."

With a bang, the desk in front of him shattered. He was about to step down as Fleet Admiral, but unexpectedly, such a big change happened.

Sengoku was particularly frustrated, as his position as Fleet Admiral, which was a sure thing, had to be postponed again.

"Report!" At that moment, a communications soldier, pale-faced, rushed in anxiously.

"What happened again?" Kong's face was grim.

"Fleet Admiral, the World's Strongest Man Whitebeard, has appeared on the Sabaody Archipelago with his pirate crew."

"What?!" They jumped up, Sora, Sengoku, and the others staring wide-eyed as if they wanted to devour someone.

"Borsalino, immediately contact Garp and tell him to head to Sabaody Archipelago. Also, Zephyr, take half of the Navy's forces with you. Be extremely vigilant."

My mind is in chaos; I have a vague feeling that this matter is not simple.

"Brubrub! This place is empty!"

"Kong, why are so many pirate crews appearing in the seas surrounding the Red Line at the same time?" A serious, calm voice came from the other end of the phone.

"What?" Sora nearly dropped the Den Den Den Mushi.

"Lord Five Elders, the Whitebeard Pirates have appeared on the Sabaody Archipelago, and now a riot has broken out in Mary Geoise. I think this matter is not simple."

"Report!" Another marine rushed in.

Holding the Den Den Mushi, Sora's face was as gloomy as rain.

"Reporting to the Fleet Admiral, the Beasts Pirates, Red-Haired Pirates, Big Pirates, Necromancer Pirates, Bone Pirates, and others from the New World have all appeared simultaneously around the Red Line, with Mary Geoise at its center."

Swallowing hard, the marine, pale-faced, quickly relayed the news he had just received.

"What's going on? What happened?" he cursed, his anger surging.

"This is definitely premeditated!" Crane frowned and said from below, "But who has the ability to do this?"

Suddenly, He Mei raised an eyebrow, suppressing her inner speculation. "Could it be?"

"Send the navy to Mary Geoise immediately," the voice on the Den Den Mushi said after a moment of silence.

"Lord Five Elders, if the Navy can't spare the troops for Mary Geoise, isn't there still the Army?"

"The Army is tied up; there are not only pirates here, but also the Revolutionary Army."

"What"

The entire office was filled with a tense atmosphere; it was a conspiracy, absolutely a conspiracy.

"Sengoku, take Sakazuki, Kuzan, and Ye Chen to support the Holy Land."

"Oh, Fleet Admiral Kong, Vice Admiral Ye Chen is not in Marineford."

"Tell him to get back here!"

Meanwhile, in Mary Geoise, home of the Five Elders, at the center of world power, in a spacious office, five figures, some standing and some sitting, all wore somber expressions.

"What do you think of this matter?" an elderly man holding a cane asked calmly.

"It's nothing more than a test," an old man said dismissively, holding his longsword.

"How unexpected! I never thought I'd run into those treacherous pirates so suddenly," a bald old man said sarcastically.

"Listen, the New World has recently been calling for the Four Emperors' positions. Could it be because of this?"

"This is just one of them. The most important thing is that those ambitious guys want to see our trump cards, or the Celestial Dragons's trump cards."

"This world has many fools, but it also has many smart people. After this incident, it seems we need to purge our undercover agents and informants."

"I'm not worried about these pirates at all. What I'm most worried about is the Revolutionary Army that has recently overthrown several kingdoms. Compared to the disorganized pirates, this force is the most terrifying."

"You're right. As long as we remain unmoved, it won't be long before those pirates start fighting each other. This will save us some trouble."

"In that case, order the Army and navy to only defend and not attack! As for those slaves, let them run away; there are plenty of slaves in this world."

"That's the only way. Unless absolutely necessary, the Celestial Dragons must continue as they appear on the surface."

"Hmph, in this world, there will always be only one voice, and that is us!"

""

That's why the prison break, which was originally considered impossible, succeeded. The clever can find clues to the reason, while the foolish can only think that the Fish-Man was too powerful and really broke through Mary Geoise like a savior.

Little did they know, that night, the entire world nearly plunged into utter destruction.

And this was also the first time, by a twist of fate, that many people learned of the hidden power of the World Government —a power that was unfathomable.

Similarly, on that night, beneath the Red Line, the sea was dyed red, countless pirate crews were destroyed, and only a dozen or so powerful pirate crews survived.

At that moment, the already disorganized pirate force dropped to a whole new level.

A powerful force, unknowingly, overthrew nearly a dozen kingdoms. Their goal was to overthrow the World Government and establish a peaceful order. They were known as the Revolutionary Army.
