Nature's Curse
"Hey, you smiling bastard, you knew all along, didn't you!"
Coming to his senses, Sanji subconsciously raised his voice, Huayue's smile remained unchanged as he looked down at the multitude of people fighting below, a hint of indifference flashing in his eyes.
"This is the choice of the Celestial Dragons, and the fate that everyone must face. From the moment the gears started turning, they were destined to never stop."
"Those who endure exploitation and willingly accept their fate will eventually bear the bitter fruit of their own actions, watching helplessly as their homeland disappears into the deep sea..."
"So, is it to fight with everything, burning blood and bones to fight for the last bit of soil for survival, or to hand over the last Pure Land to others and be buried in the Blue Sea?"
"The power to choose should be fairly given to everyone; this is precisely the reason to show them kindness."
At this point, the phantom in the sky transformed, and a huge three-dimensional projection appeared beside Vegapunk.
"Since the beginning of the Void Century, sea levels around the world have been slowly rising at a rate of once every three years..."
"Until thirty-six years ago, when the God Valley unexpectedly disappeared in a non-governmental member state of the West Blue, the rate of sea level rise stopped..."
"Based on the latest findings from current sea level reconnaissance equipment, I can conclude that the culprit behind the rising sea levels that will eventually submerge the entire world is none other than the Celestial Dragons, who claim to be descendants of the Creator!"
Upon hearing this, people from over two hundred countries who witnessed this dramatic change were utterly astonished.
"What do you mean? The World Nobles, those Celestial Dragons, are going to completely destroy the world? How is that possible..."
"What's impossible! Those bastards are wicked and despicable, a bunch of complete scoundrels, they've already destroyed my world!"
"Could it be... that the recently destroyed Lulusia Kingdom has something to do with the rising sea levels?"
"How could Seaquake of that magnitude cause sea levels to rise when even the land was evaporated?"
Inside Marineford, Jaigollucia Satan Saint frowned, and even his grip on his cane tightened.
"You know too much, Vegapunk. If you had known this would happen, you shouldn't have cared about the production of the Mother Flame. You should have killed him the moment he entered Mariejois!"
Subconsciously glancing around, I saw that the other Five Elders and the Seraphim were all entangled in battle, Pacifista were unable to cross the ocean to reach the New World.
"He deliberately chose this moment to create a time difference; his cunning also seemed to have increased a bit..."
"In that case, Narona Igusan, immediately use the Uranus to obliterate Egghead!"
The pirates were completely taken aback by the undisguised intentions, and even the marines responsible for the encirclement were filled with unease.
Above the sky, a cold light flashed in Narona Igu's eyes as he sat Summit Buddha's head, making no move.
Seeing Vegapunk in the sky still presenting his evidence point by point, Jaigolusia Satan Saint was furious.
"Why aren't you taking action yet, Nerona Igus!"
"They're just a bunch of ants who know the cruel reality. Even if they know everything, what can they do?"
"A new era will eventually blossom in Mu's hands. All that is needed is to utterly destroy everything that stands in his way. The Creator who ascends the throne has no need to listen to the opinions of ants..."
In an instant, Jaigolusia Satan felt a chill in his heart. Was he going to be separated from the world at such a critical moment?
"Simply destroying the islands won't cause sea levels to rise, but the Celestial Dragons ' Ancient Weapon, Uranus, was doomed the moment it touched the sea..."
"This is also why Devil Fruit are cursed; it all stems from the will of nature!"
"The Seastone factor transformed by the Mother Flame will fill the hollowed-out ocean interior with a large amount of marine factor, catalyzing the world's aversion to Devil Fruit..."
"Lands that provide life for humans and other species will, with the materialization of the Seastone factor, increase the volume of the ocean and submerge the entire world!"
At this moment, Narona Igusheng, the Summit Buddha, suddenly realized the truth.
"So that's how it is. The will of this world, the reason why Ancient Weapon were used to destroy the possibility of evolution, the vortex of fate that was predetermined in the dark. How boring."
Meanwhile, on the execution platform, two executioners, under the cover of a group of naval personnel, quietly climbed up.
The last member pulled his hat brim down, pressing down his ridiculous "3" hairstyle, with strands of wax flowing down his face.
"Straw Hat Kid... I'm risking my life this time, you absolutely have to succeed!"
The Three Admirals and Fleet Admiral Sengoku, who were entangled in a battle with Whitebeard, naturally failed to notice the subtle changes on the execution platform.
To be precise, everyone's attention was subtly focused on the projection in the sky.
"Next, regarding the ' Void Century,' the alliance that initially consisted of twenty kingdoms, fought against that Great Kingdom..."
Vegapunk laid bare his assumptions, and from that moment on, many of the Marines involved in the battle were stunned and pointed the finger at themselves.
"Wait, what is Vegapunk saying? Those twenty kingdoms were originally us?"
"How is that possible? How could there have been a more technologically advanced country hundreds of years ago than we are now!"
"Hey, do you guys really believe what this traitor is saying?"
The scene was chaotic, but the pirates within the Four Emperors Alliance were too distracted to pay attention, as the five enormous figures constantly unleashing Conqueror's Haki blocked everyone's path.
"Furthermore, the real name of the Pirate King Gol D. Roger was not Gol, but Gol D. Roger..."
"The so-called D is the truth that the World Government wants to hide. The will to resist continues to burn in this world, and the Clan of D still exists!"
Mariejois, Pangaea Castle.
On the Throne of Emptiness, Narona Imu, hidden in the shadows, had icy eyes, his crimson pupils oozing blood.
"Too slow, Mother's child..."
In the Marineford, Narona Igus, the Summit Buddha, has an indifferent expression.
"Can't hold back anymore? Impatient, willful, and self-centered guy..."
"Alright, we've already revealed most of what the ant-like scientists know. Let's start with Egghead and gradually get to the point."
An eerily familiar sense of unease gripped everyone's hearts. In Egghead's research lab, the sky's reaction was detected immediately.
"Wait... what do we do? The main body, the Ancient Weapon are attacking! How can our defenses possibly hold them off!"
"Calm down, Edison. Although I'd love to keep this for research, it seems I have no choice but to use it sooner rather than later..."
"Also, let's deploy this on the battlefield and give the Five Elders a little surprise."
Looking around, amidst the junkyard of abandoned research facilities, an ancient robot covered in moss quietly opened its eyes on a transmitter pointing towards Marineford.
