The framework of the new system has been established, but to turn the blueprint into reality, reliable people are needed to execute and safeguard it. Under the leadership of the Dragon and through extensive consultations at the World Representative Congress, several young people who made outstanding contributions in the final battle and possess unique abilities were given key responsibilities and became the core pillars of the new world.
1. Allen - " Guardian of Spacetime and Space" and Commander-in-Chief of the Civilization Barrier Army
Allen's Power of Zhulong is closely linked to time and space. Coupled with his calm, rational personality and profound understanding of historical lessons, he is the best candidate for a special position—the commander-in-chief of the Civilization Barrier Army.
This army is not an offensive force in the traditional sense; its core mission is defense and protection.
• Guard the Sanctuary of the Primordial Light: Ensure that the liberated Primordial Light is no longer coveted or abused by any force, and that its location (formerly Chamber of the False Throne, now upgraded to the " Dawn Monument ") becomes a top-level restricted area.
• Monitor spacetime anomalies: Utilize the Power of Zhulong and the sensors of Pluton ( Freedom Ark ) to monitor spacetime stability worldwide and prevent events like the " Eternal Mist " or " Children of the Abyss " from recurring.
• Responding to extreme threats: As a strategic emergency response force, it is specifically designed to deal with supernatural or high-tech threats that may threaten the foundations of the world and that conventional armies cannot handle (such as uncontrolled Ancient Weapon relics, unusual natural disasters, etc.).
• Checks and Balances: The Civilization Barrier Army is independent of the regular military system and is directly responsible to the " Civilization Guardians Committee " and the World Representative Congress. Its existence itself is a check on other power institutions, preventing the world from sliding into dictatorship again.
Allen's office is located in a high tower near the Dawn Monument, overlooking the Holy Land ( New Dawn Plaza ). He spends most of his time recuperating and resting, while silently sensing the spacetime fabric of the world through the Power of Zhulong. Occasionally, he appears at meetings of the Civilization Guardians Committee, offering calm and insightful suggestions. The soldiers under his command are elites selected from various races, with unwavering will and a deep understanding of "guarding" rather than "conquering."
2. Ace - " The Flame of World Purification " and Commander of the Ministry of Science and Technology
Ace, forged in the World Purification Furnace, possesses the dual characteristics of "purification" and "creation." Coupled with his straightforward, passionate, and responsible personality, he was entrusted with an important task—the Commander-in-Chief of the Ministry of Science and Technology.
This department integrates some resources from the former World Government Science Unit (SSG), Vegapunk's legacy (managed with the assistance of former personnel such as Sentomaru who are willing to cooperate), and technological forces from Sky Island, Wano Country, and other regions. Its mission is:
• Guiding Technology for Good: Ensuring that powerful science and technology are used for people's livelihood development, environmental protection, and energy exploration, rather than creating weapons of mass destruction. Ace's " Flame of World Purification " concept became the core principle of the department—purifying the technology tree distorted by Imu.
• Handling Dangerous Legacy: Safely seal or modify dangerous weapons such as " Seraphim " and PX robots, and research their controllable peaceful uses (such as disaster relief and deep space exploration).
• Energy and Exploration: Leading research into the application of the pure energy released by the " Primordial Light," as well as peaceful exploration of outer space.
• Technology ethics oversight: Establish a rigorous ethics review committee to prevent new, inhumane technological research.
Ace was passionate about the position. He was no longer a lone Fire Fist, but led a group of top scientists and engineers. He frequently traveled to laboratories and factories around the world, personally testing the durability of new materials with his flames, or using the Flame of World Purification to help purify contaminated experimental environments. His straightforward personality also helped break down barriers between scientists, promoting exchange and cooperation between different schools of technology.
3. Sabo - " The Lamp of Omniscience " and Minister of the Intelligence Coordination Headquarters
Sabo possesses powerful Omniscient Domain capabilities (further developed after the war), an exceptional strategic mind, and years of experience leading the Revolutionary Army, making him the perfect candidate for intelligence work—the Minister of the Intelligence Coordination Headquarters.
This department is no longer the former Cipher Pol; its functions have undergone a fundamental transformation.
• Information Transparency and Counter-Espionage: Primarily responsible for collecting and analyzing information that may threaten global security (such as remnants of old powers or large-scale criminal organizations), but emphasizing the screening and sharing of information (within the bounds of secrecy) to serve public safety, not the ruling class. Also responsible for counter-espionage work.
• Historical Truth Uncovering and Publicizing: Assist Robin's Historical Research Institute in continuing to uncover and publish the Void Century of history covered up by Imu, allowing the world to understand the truth.
• Crisis Early Warning and Assessment: Utilizing Omniscient Domain and a vast intelligence network, conduct early warning and assessment of potential crises (economic, social, and environmental) worldwide, providing decision-making basis for the General Assembly and the Executive Council.
• Coordinate local security: While not directly commanding local police forces, this role is responsible for coordinating major cross-regional cases and sharing criminal intelligence.
Sabo's office is located in the administrative center of New Dawn Plaza, where he deals with a massive flow of information every day. His Omniscient Domain allows him to quickly grasp key information and make accurate judgments. He is committed to building an open, efficient, and overseen intelligence system to ensure that it becomes a "light" protecting freedom, rather than an "eye" spying on privacy.
4. Luffy - " The Seagull of Freedom " and the Eternal Adventurer
As for Luffy? The World Representative Congress even wanted to award him an honorary title like "Guardian of Freedom," but he refused without hesitation.
"I don't want to be a president or a minister! It sounds like such a hassle!" He picked his nose, looking disgusted. "Meat! Feasts! Adventures! And being with my friends! That's what I want!"
No one tried to force him. Everyone understood that Luffy's very existence was the most vivid embodiment of the "freedom" spirit of the new era. He and the Straw Hat Pirates (perhaps they should be called the Straw Hat Adventurers?) will continue their voyage, exploring unknown islands and secret realms of space, helping those in need, and fighting true villains (if they encounter them). Their adventure stories will continue to spread throughout the world through the World Economy News Paper, inspiring countless people to bravely pursue their dreams.
He is like a seagull forever yearning for the sea and the sky; his course is unrestrained, and his laughter is the best blessing for the New World. And when the "freedom" he believes in is threatened, that straw Straw Hat and the power it represents will surely stand up again.
And so, Allen, Ace, and Sabo, in their respective positions, acted as three solid anchors, protecting the nascent and fragile free world from the dimensions of military, technology, and intelligence. Luffy, meanwhile, continued to embody the purest form of freedom in the vast world. In their different ways, they collectively anchored a hopeful future.
