A New World

The Holy Land, Mary Geoise.

Mary Geoise was now the headquarters of the New World Government.

Rono sat high on the supreme throne in the Hall of Power, with no need to hide himself as Imu once had.

Below him, Dragon, Belo Betty, Karasu, and the others were reporting on developments around the world.

On the whole, the New World Government's rule had nearly stabilized.

In just three months, a series of reforms had begun to show results.

The New World Government's prestige had reached its peak.

Over those three months, the New World Government had also crushed the rebellion organized by the former CP0 through CP9.

These lackeys had been so thoroughly brainwashed by the Celestial Dragons that, even with every last Celestial Dragon dead, they still dreamed of restoring their glory.

But a force on the scale of a Buster Call, led by Akainu, was enough.

It defeated every one of them, and even executed them on the spot.

With the Celestial Dragons' last lackeys dead, no force in the world could threaten the New World Government.

After all, the former Four Emperors, the Shichibukai, and the Great Pirates—

Along with the Marines, the Revolutionary Army, and others—

Nearly every major figure now served Rono.

To say the world had been united was no exaggeration.

I wonder when the GOD clan will come.

Even Rono did not know when the GOD clan Imu had spoken of would arrive.

The one thing he knew for certain was that he had at least two years.

It was now Year 1520 of the Sea Circle Calendar.

The reason was simple: judging by how the original story unfolded, the GOD clan had not discovered this place before Year 1522.

That gave him two years
