章 5: A Lively Future
In the heart of Whitebeard's territory, Marco approached his captain, holding up a newspaper with a wide grin on his face. "Hey pops, look at these headlines! Kizaru got a serious beatdown from someone in a short exchange. Unbelievable! Kizaru is one of the top admirals known for his lightning-fast speed and agility."
Whitebeard, his eyes filled with intrigue, chuckled deeply. "Gurarahhh, interesting! It seems like the future is going to be even livelier!"
Marco couldn't help but show admiration. "Well, he deserves my respect, but even a move like this can't surpass your record, pops. You're still the strongest man in the world! Bwahahaha!"
Whitebeard's laughter echoed across the territory. "Gurarahhh, I don't think so, Marco! The world is changing, and there will always be someone destined to surpass me. But I won't back down easily, not at all! Bwahahahhaa!"
Meanwhile, in Shanks' territory, they were enjoying a grand feast with the presence of Dracule Mihawk.
Mihawk, casually reading the newspaper, spoke up. "Did you read the headlines? Someone defeated Kizaru in a short exchange."
Shanks, grinning mischievously, looked up at the sky. "Yeah, and I have a feeling we'll meet him soon."
Mihawk nodded in agreement. "Ohh, I guess you're right. Even the Marines can't measure the true strength of this mysterious fighter."
Across the seas, Kaido, Big Mom, Doflamingo, and other supernovas eagerly anticipated the actions of this enigmatic figure.
Meanwhile, back at the Gold Island, Franz concluded his silent meditation. Opening his eyes, he murmured to himself, "Looks like my trip here wasn't in vain. My increase in strength has exceeded my expectations. But I still lack the experience and combat skills to face 'IM,' the final boss of this world—a seasoned and veteran warrior for thousands of years. How can I possibly win against them?"
Realizing the need to hone his abilities, Franz decided to lower his own strength when facing opponents to gain more fighting experience. He understood that he also needed to build his own force, a group that would support him in his quest to fight the world boss. Even the minions of the boss, the five elders of Marijois, were powerful and shrouded in mystery.
Franz made a mental note to locate and recruit individuals carrying the will of 'D.' His list included familiar names:
1. Monkey D. Luffy
2. Monkey D. Dragon
3. Monkey D. Garp
4. Trafalgar D. Waterlaw
5. Portgas D. Ace
Aware that the great war, or Ace's execution, was only eleven months away, Franz knew he had to assemble his group before that pivotal event. Determined not to alter the course of the plot, he silently gathered his forces. Alongside the list of 'D' bearers, he compiled a list of people he wanted to recruit:
1. Rayleigh
2. Fujitora
3. Buggy
4. Enel
5. Perona
6. Nojiko
7. Gion
8. Sabo
9. Coby
10. Gin
11. Jesus Burgess
12. Van Augur
With his plans set, Franz decided it was time to leave and seek out old man Rayleigh.
As Franz embarked on his journey to find Rayleigh, his thoughts turned towards the formidable swordsmen he had encountered and admired in the world of One Piece. He couldn't help but feel a strong desire to recreate a guild, a brotherhood of non-Devil Fruit users who excelled in the art of the sword.
He recalled the likes of Dracule Mihawk, the renowned "Hawk-Eye," and his awe-inspiring swordsmanship. Mihawk, who possessed the title of the world's greatest swordsman, had left an indelible impression on Franz. It was Mihawk's strength and unwavering dedication to the way of the sword that inspired Franz to gather like-minded individuals.
Franz envisioned a guild where the members would train together, spar, and exchange knowledge, pushing each other to new heights. He yearned to invite warriors such as Shanks, the legendary Yonko who possessed remarkable swordsmanship skills. Franz believed that Shanks, with his undeniable charisma and unmatched prowess, would be a worthy addition to the guild.
Another name that sprang to mind was Roronoa Zoro, the swordsman and loyal crewmate of Monkey D. Luffy. Zoro's unwavering determination and relentless pursuit of becoming the world's greatest swordsman had earned him Franz's respect. Franz imagined Zoro as an invaluable member of the guild, inspiring and guiding fellow swordsmen with his unwavering resolve.
But the guild would not be limited to renowned figures alone. Franz also saw potential in others, such as Tashigi, a marine officer with a burning desire to improve her swordsmanship skills. He believed that her dedication and willingness to learn would make her an excellent addition to the guild.
The idea of a Swordsmen's Guild sparked a fire within Franz. He saw it as an opportunity to unite the world's most skilled non-Devil Fruit users, pooling their expertise and striving for new levels of mastery. Franz knew that the guild would not only strengthen his own abilities but also serve as a beacon of inspiration for aspiring swordsmen across the seas.
With determination in his heart, Franz vowed to make his dream a reality. As he continued his journey towards Rayleigh, he would seek out these formidable swordsmen, inviting them to join his guild and embarking on a new chapter in their lives.
And so, Franz's quest expanded, not only to gather those carrying the will of 'D' but also to assemble a fellowship of swordsmen, bound by their love for the blade and their shared ambition to reach unprecedented heights. The Swordsmen's Guild would soon take shape, forging a new legend in the world of One Piece.
