บท 43: Chapter 43: Alan Victor
The purge within the Beast Pirates had been swift and ruthless. Wali, one of Kaido's most trusted officers, spearheaded the effort to root out corruption, exposing those who had secretly aligned with the Mafia. The punishments were immediate—those found guilty were either cast out or executed as a warning to others. The message was unmistakable: loyalty to Kaido was non-negotiable, and any betrayal, especially alliances with the other power, would not be tolerated.
While the Beast Pirates cleansed their ranks,
In the drakness side of the sea Alan Victor. Known for his unrelenting strength and unshakable will, Alan had risen from humble beginnings on Giant Sparrow Island. Abandoned by his parents, he was taken in by an old, retired karate master, who raised him and imparted the ancient martial arts to him. Under the master's tutelage, Alan became skilled in karate, channeling his discipline and honing his combat prowess.
In his teenage years, their peaceful town was targeted by a criminal gang demanding protection fees. Alan, still young but fiercely capable, stood up to them. In a fierce battle, he singlehandedly defeated the gang leader, earning the admiration of the townspeople and sparking the beginning of his reputation as a powerful fighter.
Inspired by his master's stories of Karate Island—a legendary place where martial artists gathered to prove their skills—Alan set sail for the island. There, he rapidly rose through the ranks, eventually becoming the champion of karate. His victories made him famous throughout the South Blue. However, success brought enemies. Envious nobles and pirates, fearful of his growing influence, sought to eliminate him through schemes and betrayal.
Yet, Alan's loyal allies, friends he had gained through his journey, struck first. They eradicated the conspirators before they could act, securing Alan's position but also drawing the attention of the Navy. Branded a criminal for his role in the killings, Alan was forced into hiding. But in the shadows, he found a new opportunity. A powerful, secretive nation approached him with an offer he couldn't refuse: become their supplier of rare resources from the New World in exchange for their protection and backing.
Seizing the chance, Alan sailed to the Grand Line. His strength and influence, combined with the resources of the kingdom backing him, allowed him to establish a vast empire in the underworld. Alan quickly became the master of resource supply in the South Sea, controlling the flow of rare materials and wealth that kept the criminal networks thriving. His reputation grew not just as a formidable fighter, but as a powerful figure with influence stretching across the world's darkest corners.
Alan Victor was no longer just a karate master; he was a king in the shadows, feared and respected. With his empire secure, his ambitions reached even further. The world was his to claim, and he knew that in the chaotic seas, power was the ultimate currency.

One day, as Alan lounged in his luxurious estate, a visitor from a powerful kingdom arrived. The man was dressed in regal attire, his every move measured, his words chosen with precision. He approached Alan with a proposal that could change the balance of power in the world.
"The king has decided to extend his hand to you, Alan Victor," the representative said, bowing low in respect. "Our kingdom wishes to help you rise to become an Emperor of the Sea."
Alan leaned forward, his interest piqued. The Emperors of the Sea—those few individuals who stood at the very pinnacle of power, capable of toppling nations and reshaping the world. They weren't just pirates or criminals; they were institutions. They held sway over entire regions, commanded vast armies, and influenced politics on a global scale. Each one was a force of nature.
"You want to support me in becoming an Emperor?" Alan asked, his tone calm but his eyes sharp.
"Yes," the representative continued. "The king is prepared to supply you with an army, resources, and the backing of several high-ranking officials within the World Government. With our combined strength, you can challenge the Emperors and claim your place among them."
Alan sat back, mulling over the proposition. He knew the enormity of what was being offered. This wasn't just an opportunity to survive in the New World—it was a chance to rise above it.
Later that evening, after the envoy had departed, Alan's most trusted crewmate approached him. There was concern in his eyes, and his voice carried a note of caution.
"Are you sure about this, Alan?" he asked quietly. "You know this is setting you up to be a scapegoat. Even if you win, the victory won't truly be yours. And if you lose... you could end up dead. Or worse, captured."
Alan's expression darkened, but he remained calm. "I'm not naive," he replied. "I know the kingdom sees me as a tool, nothing more. The moment I lose my value, they'll betray me—no question about it."
His gaze sharpened, and suddenly the air in the room thickened. A suffocating pressure filled the space as Alan unleashed his Conqueror's Haki. The atmosphere became heavy, and the raw power emanating from him was unmistakable. His crew could feel it—the weight of a king's spirit, the power possessed only by those born to rule.
"But that's exactly why I have to take this chance," Alan said, his voice low and commanding. "This power I awakened when I fought Redfield Patrick, it needs to be tested against the strongest. The Emperors aren't just enemies—they're the ultimate challenge. If I can survive this, if I can defeat them, I'll become an Emperor of the Sea."
He stood up, his tall frame casting a long shadow over his crewmate. His eyes gleamed with ambition. "You are my most trusted brother. Will you stand with me in this fight?"
Without a moment's hesitation, his crewmate nodded. "You don't even have to ask. Whatever path you choose, I'm with you. If anyone tries to take you down, they'll have to go through me first."
A smirk spread across Alan's face, his eyes blazing with the fire of his ambition. "Good. With you and our brothers by my side, I know we'll come out on top. This is our time to take everything."
The air of tension in the room faded, but the sense of purpose only grew stronger. Alan knew the road ahead would be fraught with danger, but with his crew behind him and the support of the kingdom, the opportunity to seize the title of Emperor of the Sea was finally within reach. And he was ready.
