Chapter 4: Unveiling the Legends
Whooosh! Franz landed on the peak of the Gold Island's mountain, his hair billowing in the wind. Excitement coursed through his veins as he spread his spiritual sense, scanning the island for any signs of treasure. But to his surprise, his spiritual sense expanded beyond his expectations. It delved beneath the surface, revealing an extensive underground cave system that reached 500 meters down.
"Eureka! Let's dig and dive, baby!" Franz exclaimed with a mischievous grin. He summoned his wind-drilling tornadoes and effortlessly carved a path into the depths of the island. As he descended into the cave's chilly embrace, he couldn't help but feel the thrill of the unknown.
Finally, he reached the deepest part of the cave, where a chamber awaited him. The chamber, adorned in gold and brimming with various treasures, dazzled his eyes. Swords, guns, books, maps, and stacks of gleaming gold coins lay before him, tempting his every desire.
"What the fuck? I'm so rich! Damm!" Franz blurted out, unable to contain his excitement. He eagerly examined each treasure, pondering their potential uses. But amidst the abundance, his attention was drawn to a particular book, its cover adorned with an ancient jewel of a dark hue. As he opened it, his eyes widened with astonishment.
Written at the bottom of the page were the words, "Ancient shall be fallen, chaos and war shall reign, but the will of 'D' will always remain." The author? The Great Gold Pirate Woonan D.
Stunned, Franz couldn't help but contemplate the significance of the Great Gold Pirate's name. Legends spoke of his incredible power and unparalleled skill, rumored to possess one-third of the world's gold. The title he held was no small matter. Strength was the key to back up such a claim.
Eager to learn more, Franz flipped to the next page, absorbing the words that lay before him. The book recounted the origins of the world, describing it as the embodiment of water, pure and giving life. Water's essence became the primary law, birthing the concept of WILL—a concept that mirrored the freedom and relentless pursuit of goals, flowing like a never-ending river.
But the tale took an unexpected turn as it introduced alien gods from other worlds seeking to claim this primary law. Realizing its resilience, they planted a seed of knowledge within the Shandorians, native beings of the world. This seed gave birth to secondary laws, such as fire, wind, earth, light, and darkness, acting as catalysts to balance the elemental laws.
Centuries passed, civilizations rose, and races were born. However, the alien gods grew dissatisfied with the world's progress, as the primary law's concept only grew stronger with time. To weaken it, they introduced fear and greed, leading to the creation of Devil Fruits—a corrupt power that caused chaos in those who consumed them.
The world, pure at its core, fought back, creating a counter-concept to protect its essence. Devil Fruit users became weak and powerless in the presence of pure water, a testament to the world's innate purity.
Furious at this setback, the alien gods poured their remaining power into the souls of all living beings, corrupting them with concepts like greed, lust, pride, wrath, gluttony, envy, and sloth. Wars erupted, and chaos ensued.
In response, a divine clan, the Devas, blessed with physical and spiritual strength, strong wills, and a concept known as the "D," rose to defend the world from evil intentions. They collected and studied Devil Fruits, seeking to understand their weaknesses and protect their realm. Thus, the Ancient Kingdom of Atlantis was born, a beacon of hope against impending darkness.
The alien gods, now reborn as "IM," sought to control the world and weaken its primary laws. They formed the World Government, spreading corrupt concepts through the Marines, pirates, nobles, and ordinary people. With each passing day, the world's primary laws weakened, teetering on the edge of instability.
However, the legendary Pirate King, Gol D. Roger, realized the impending imbalance and sacrificed himself to strengthen the concept of the WILL. His execution became a catalyst, spreading the seeds of hope to future generations bearing the "D."
Overwhelmed by the revelations, Franz's mind whirled with newfound purpose. He stood up, clenched his fist, and spoke with unwavering determination, "I swear, as a Devas and a bearer of the 'D,' I will save this world and defeat you, 'IM.' Just you wait and see!"
And so, armed with newfound knowledge and an unyielding resolve, Franz embarked on a journey that would shape the fate of the world. The legends of the past fueled his determination as he set sail, ready to face the challenges ahead and claim his place in history.
