After I finished showing Z the truth of it and tying it all in as his life and answers were revealed, I showed him why Edward Weevil really became one of the seven warlords of the sea. It was because he claimed falsely to be Whitebeard's son and that discredited the Whitebeard pirate's current leader Marco as Weevil was trying to take control of them.
If he succeeded then the world government would have a real foothold into the New World's pirate setup and allow for more chaos. I showed him what I suspected and what I felt to be true each time I looked at the red line and that was that the devil fruit tree, from which all Devil fruit's came from, was on or connected to the red line and Im needed the chaos in the world to feed the devil fruit tree as he was trying to get a certain devil fruit.
I could only guess at which one but if I was right, it meant absolute power and control from it's user. I let him mull all that I've given him over and showed him why and what we've done on all our adventures, minus the training and our full strength.
Other than marines and vile assholes, we've not harmed a single person. Well, I left out Luffy's utter destruction of the resort as I'm still not sure how many survived or died in that. I showed him my view of this world and the view of this mode suffering and only wanting freedom as any adventurer is automatically labeled a pirate if they fight back from those who would murder and enslave them.
That is why Luffy wants to be the pirate king so bad. To truly be free of those who would do that to him and his friends. With that, I gave him a nanite pill and after ten minutes, Chopper fed him a senzu bean.
Soon enough he woke up and looked around at us wearily. A ship hit us and I left the room tapping Luffy's arm. "If he attacks beat him up and toss him to his ship. Be careful of that arm though."
I went outside and saw my daughter and Robin ties up in green plants and I acted, ripping them off of them as I gained the same ability and unlocking my first real power, plant manipulation. A girl hit me from behind and I shrank, losing twelve years of my body's life as I became a preteen.
I turned and looked at the girl who did it coldly before growing as my ability copied it. I smacked a ho and she reverted along with the plant user. Then I tied them up with vines and freed the crew.
Z came out and told us that it was enough. He looked at me coldly and nodded. "Thank you, Portgas D. Ace, for showing me my path forwards."
I shrugged. "Whatever hero Z."
He stilled and smiled at that before I returned the two kids back to their original ages and did the same to Nami who was just hit. He shook his head at those two and they left.
I chuckled and sat down while telling them what I did. I held up a light ball and showed them the truth of this world and Mariejois as well as told them what I suspected would be our final battle to decide the fate of this world and all pirates in it. Luffy shrugged it off and told Sanji to make lunch.
Still smiling, we continued on our way to Punk Hazard. A week later I got a news coo paper that said Z had been killed after blowing a hole in the red line with the dyno rocks and his people had killed many world nobles while freeing most of the slaves on Mariejois.
The five elders had acted to defend the red line and while it wasn't a big hole, it did reveal the roots of something spreading throughout the red line. Z had taken down ten vice admirals and killed Kizaru as well as injured two of the five elders in a wonton suicide barrage of dynamo rocks that shook the red line.
His apprentices had managed to flee and save the slaves but many of the Neo marines had been killed in the process. Aokiji had been sighted there as well but he hadn't acted except to ensure the slaves successfully got away.
Garp had officially quit the navy while Sengoku stayed. His two apprentices, Colby and Helmeppo were still in the navy and rising fast. As none of the current four admirals had been present, it hadn't been a complete disaster and since they couldn't fix the hole, the spot became off limits to the public and cordoned off by all by the highest authorities.
I spent the next two weeks training Shyarly up to full admiral standards and made her a proper sword with all my materials and skill. I then spent a lot of time training Luffy master his fourth gear and showing him what I made of the fifth gear.
The power of it alone outclassed all before it to a terrifying degree but it took an extremely powerful body to withstand the strain of using it so I worked him to the bone and not even letting him rest even when he was asleep as his body was made of rubber.
I fed him senzu beans every hour for years while pressuring him physically until he was able to mimic my version of the fifth gear with his own. It combines all previous gears together. Blood, bone, muscles and finally organs as the special additive. It was a true nightmare Luffy as he modified it to suit himself.
His own devil fruit had awakened when he succeeded even if there was a three minute time limit for how long he could hold it. I hadn't neglected my training either as I finally broke through two the mid sword master and my haki broke through once more and was able to seriously harm those with weak wills while I estimated I could clash with even Whitebeard evenly just before his death.
It still didn't equal what I estimated his and Roger's prime to be but then I already knew I wasn't yet Garp's equal in haki yet either and even he wasn't as strong as Roger in haki. I took some time out from training everyone as my own symbiote had made it down to fishman island again and warned the fishmen of the dangers of overusing the training room.
I spent that time with Olivia, Robin and Shyarly relaxing and watching Chopper give Olivia rides as well as sharing cotton candy with her. It was a sweet and fun time while we sailed. Soon enough it was over as we arrived at Punk Hazard.
Luffy, Robin, Zoro and I all wanted to go together and so did Olivia so I agreed to watch and take care of her while we explored the island. Sanji packed us lunches and we headed over on the Going Merry.
The fire and ice island was where Aokiji and Akainu had it out before. When we headed out, I nodded to Sunny and it agreed to watch over the crew carefully and protect them. I put Olivia on my shoulder and hoped onto the water of the ocean, freezing it all the way to the mainland, putting out the fire.
I then melted a path for Merry to go through and we traveled fairly quickly. When we got to the land, it was too hot for Olivia so I froze it all, turning Punk Hazard into a fully ice island and freezing both volcanoes on the island in the process.
That pissed off a dragon that came flying at us and I left it to Luffy and Zoro to fight. They killed it quickly and I skinned it before putting away the meat and telling them I'd have Sanji cook it later. I heated up most of the island, melting the ice on both sides and by consequence, making a path for the marines to get through easily.
Luffy didn't mind as he was busy playing with the bottom half of a samurai. We walked passed the destroyed cities and wreckage until we found a centaur and eventually more.
It was rather funny the way they tried to fight us. I used Laws room ability and connected the bottom halves of each to create a four armed two headed man as well as an eight legged centaur giraffe. It was all very comical as I told Luffy and the rest. "They probably had that used on them before to become like they were. That means Trafalgar Law, the current warlord is here somewhere on the island."
We continued and I froze the river dividing the island in half before skating with Olivia and Robin all the way across. When we got to the other side we found Brownbeard, another pirate who had a bounty of a hundred million.
He had a giant crocodile for his lower centaur body. I grew annoyed with his arrogant attitude and froze his mouth shut while taking all the weapons of the weird centaur group. Luffy made Brownbeard give us a ride and beat him into agreeing.
It wasn't hard to find the samurai's torso and disarm it before putting him back together. In the meantime Sunny had foiled a kidnapping attempt on the crew and they questioned the henchmen.
Using a bit of observation haki, I found the entrance to the facility and the marines there being stopped by Trafalgar Law. Smoker saw us arrive and tried attacking us but I switched his soul with Tashigi's and confused the shit out of both of them.
Law looked impressed and told Luffy he wanted to make a pirate alliance with us and he'd chuckled and ignored the marines who were seriously freaking out as Luffy agreed. I shrugged and told Law. "Pay attention."
I looked at the base and smiled. "Room!"
Then entire island was encompassed one my room as I smiled. "Shambles."
I switched the centaur pirates with everyone not in a Hazard suit. Vergo, a head in pieces, Momonosuke, Caesar Clown, Monet and a bunch of children appeared in their place. I slapped my special sea stone chains on the fruit users and while Vergo tried to resist with his haki, I took Law's heart back and gave it to him before taking his and Ceaser's hearts.
I gave each of the kids a nanite pill and they removed the issues of whatever Caesar had done to them. I crushed Vergo's heart, killing him and tossing it to Smoker's feet. "I do not abide child torture or experimentation. Scum who do receive no pity from me."
Law grabbed Caesar and I waved Luffy to take the crew and leave. He saw how serious I was and that I handed off Olivia to Robin so they left with Law in a hurry. I told Smoker as I switched him back. "Take these kids back to their parents. Whatever Caesar gave them will be flushed out of their systems in an hour or so. Take this as my only warning Smoker, if I find the navy doing the same to kids, they'll disappear like this island is about to. Now go, you won't want to be here a few moments from now."
He ordered a retreat as the island started shaking. I used room once more and sent the centaurs to the Merry with the crew and got all of them off. The marines took everyone into custody except Monet and Caesar as they were both on Merry .
I floated up into the air with the float-float fruit powers and sent the island up, past me and higher before using a black hole on it and adding the heat heat fruit that turned it into a giant ball of magma. I then raised a hand and sent it rocketing into space as a condensed ball of magma. Smiley, the experimental smog and all the workers that hadn't made it out were destroyed utterly while I held my bag of fruit.
I grabbed Monet and killed her right then and there, dropping her body into the sea below as her fruit appeared in my bag along side the axolotl zoan fruit. I floated over to the ship and dropped on board before pulling out a navy ship and tossing the centaurs on it.
Luffy tilted his head. "You've gotten stronger Ace!"
I nodded and smiled. "Yes."
I turned to Smoker's ship of kids and Smoker returned my look and told his men to set sail for G-5. I sailed the Merry back to the Sunny and docked her in the dry dock while Luffy played puzzle maker with the Samurai's head pieces.
The scared dragon boy watched crying out for the poor samurai. Zoro has went to cut the smaller dragon as well but I stopped him. "It's a kid Zoro. Maybe we can raise it to pull the ship like Kame did."
Luffy's eyes lit up. "So cool! Yes, let's get it to pull the ship!"
The little Chinese dragon hit us both before saying. "I'm a person! Not a pet!"
I rubbed my head before smiling as my own dragon form had been unlocked. I grabbed the lizard and told him to focus and imagine his old form. Sure enough he shifted back into a kid and the samurai with a mixed up face called out. "Momonosuke!"
I fixed his face and put it back on his body all while Robin and Law watched in amusement. Caesar tried talking but Robin stopped him telling him he'd draw my ire if he did so. Olivia began playing with Momonosuke while the samurai, Kin'emon, told us his sad story and what Kaido had done.
I saw Luffy lose his smile and patted him on the shoulder. "We'll face Kaido after we deal with Big Mom and her pirates who you declared war on."
Law looked at us weirdly and I smirked. "Regretting your pirate alliance so soon? You can always back out now."
He shook his head. "So long as it ends in Doflamingo's death I don't care what I signed up for or with whom."
I shrugged. "Yeah, that's not happening. It'll be just beginning with his death, not ending. Now let's head to the next island."
Luffy cheered. "Yes! To Dressrose!"
Nami hit him upside the head. "It's Dressrosa! Idiot! And you want to pick a fight with another warlord as well as another Yonko?!!"
I chuckled. "Nami, the fight is already picked."
I got a few lumps of my own and some extra as she vented for my destroying an island and making it disappear. I rubbed my lumpy head and grumbled before eating a senzu bean and heading inside while grabbing Sanji.
I gave him the dragon meat to feed us all with before giving Usopp the dragon skin to make armor with. It would be useful against fire attacks and blunt or sharp attacks up to a great degree. When I finished dispersing the loot it was now time to hear Law's story which I slept through and sat atop the crowd nest sleeping.
When we arrived at Dressrosa, the crew dispersed into the crowds and Robin took Olivia to see the toy people. I found the bridge to Greenbit, the island Law wanted to trade Caesar to Doflamingo on. I headed over and found the dwarf village with no issue. I found the princess and cut my hand, asking her to heal it in exchange for the Axolotl devil fruit and me leaving them alone in hiding.
She agreed and did so. I gained her ability and set the devil fruit in front of her before using my plant powers to hide their village better. I called Law and the ship over with Caesar and waited with him while he forced Caesar to call Doflamingo and threatened Caesar's life in exchange for money.
Doflamingo brought the money but it was just a string clone. Luffy and it fought but it was a useless victory. I released Caesar and he attacked me with his poison gas gas fruit. Snorting, I crushed his skull and tossed him overboard.
Law looked defeated asking why I did that but I just shrugged. "I don't allow child abusers mercy and he was useless. We know where Doflamingo is and Luffy's ready to kick his ass. Let's quite the crap tactics and get it done."
I hopped onto the island again and headed to Dressrosa with Luffy and Law sighed before following. Franky and Chopper stayed on the ship so it would be fine as either of them could kick Doflamingo's ass. He was only at a peak vice admiral level after all and they were all admiral levels.
Even if Doflamingo had a strong devil fruit they'd still win easily as there were two of them. I went to the arena where the prize they were giving away was the light-light fruit. Chuckling, Luffy joined up and I sat back with Law to watch the fights.
Sabo didn't show up but Luffy did win the fruit so it was cool. Burgess, Blackbeard's right hand man, challenged him after he won and they destroyed the arena until Burgess was beaten badly.
After that the crew went wild and created havoc as Usopp scared Sugar and she passed out, freeing all the toy people and turning them back into regular people. My symbiote went behind the crew, killing all their targets along the way and collecting their fruits.
I wasn't sympathetic in the least for child abusers and slavers. They had their chances to change and failed to do so. I myself faced off with Pica while Luffy fought Doflamingo. It was less of a fight really and more of a slaughter. After I gained the stone-stone fruit ability, I straight up killed Pica without hesitation.
When all was said and done, Doflamingo was dead and the kingdom was free to do whatever they wished. Luffy claimed it as our territory and Law went his separate ways as he'd called his crew to pick him up. He gave Luffy his snail number and told him to call him whenever we were ready to take on Kaido and the beast pirates.
The biggest surprise was Luffy accepting Bartolomeo, his fan and his crew as apart of the Strawhat fleet. We gained quite a bit in pirates that had been turned into toys before but were now free. I gave them all navy ships to use and they changed them to fit the straw hat symbol and fleet while the real navy came to collect the dead Doflamingo and his very dead crew.
I'd left a note on what Doflamingo was actually doing with Kaido and Caesar as well as his underworld boss name, Joker, on his corpse. I sent my symbiote to drum island to drop off the snow snow fruit for the residents and dispersed the Devil fruit's amongst our family and friends.
Garp has retired to Goa so there was no need to worry about them there but the rest including the Baratie were still undergoing their training and the fruit's would help a great deal in their power levels.
Nami's sister, Nojiko, ended up eating the the stone-stone fruit. I'd given all that air them the pill I'd developed to remove the water weakness as well so it was fine especially for Vivi who had been naturally weak against water. Now all she had to fear was fire and sea stone.
We left Dressrosa in rather a hurry because admiral Fujitora decided to throw all the destroyed buildings from our fight at us. I blocked them and gained his ability, but Luffy insisted on not hurting the blind old man so I showed him a true glimpse of the world and who he was serving.
I gave him all the stuff I'd shown Z and he screamed, dropping the buildings into the ocean as Franky hit the Coup de Burst and sent us rocketing away from the island and the navy. Smiling, I had an idea and sent my elves to all the islands we'd been to including MarineFord and showed them all the memories of the celestial dragons and the five elders.
They all even learned of Im and since all the royals had to swear not to take the empty throne on Mariejois, it creates quite the stir. I even had an elf send a memory ball to the news coo printer and spread the truth throughout the new world.
Twelve days later we ran into the walking elephant Zou. Luffy decided to climb it and I agreed he should but I had to send Robin and Olivia with him as well. I was the only one that stayed with the ship this time and once I was sure they were on top of the elephant, I used Law's room ability to remove all the weapons in Zou's body and used the heal heal fruit to heal his injuries before flying with the float float fruit ability to his mouth tossing in a giant sack of senzu beans while mentally telling it to each them.
Sure enough he was returned to his peak condition before I put my hand on it's head and sent a massive stream of life force into the poor elephant, removing centuries of wrinkles and bringing it to it's prime.
From Zou's mind, I saw it all. The massive war during the void century and his banishment because he served the great kingdom that ruled the world back then. The twenty kingdoms that made up the original world government had won but not the way they envisioned it.
The ruler of the great kingdom used their greed against them and sacrificed his people, those with the D in their name. He'd become a puppeteer for the world government and personally banished Zou to forever look for a home that was spelled with what I saw to be a Fidelius charm.
Once I reasoned it out I understood that Im was a world traveler and possibly a reincarnated one at that. He'd definitely been to the Harry Potter universe at least. I patted the elephant as I understood how Raftel was hidden now. The coordinates were like a hand written spell that once known, allowed the owner to see the island in question and a skilled navigator could get there with that knowledge.
I returned to the ship and went to sleep while my elves cleaned the ship. When they finished, they left me the newspaper and returned. I woke up a while later as the crew returned without Sanji as he was taken by Capone Bege to whole cake island where Big Moms base was.
Luffy was rightly angry so we gave chase with some extra Mink guests. I read the newspaper and saw everyone's bounty had gone up again except mine and Kame's. Chopper's has doubled to a hundred Berrys. Luffy's was six hundred million now.
All those below a hundred million went up to two hundred million while Zoro, Sanji and Nami's had gone up to three hundred million apiece. Robin's had went up to five hundred million while Shyarly and Olivia now had bounties of a hundred million apiece.
Olivia was given the title Devils Daughter Portgas D. Olivia. I patted her head in comfort while the bigger news was the truth of Mariejois that was spread all over the world, sending the world into chaos and turmoil as citizens rebelled and joined the Revolutionary army by the dozens of islands.
Only Alabasta and Drum remained untouched by the news as their kings lived with them and weren't apart of that cruelty. The navy tried to retract the news but it was already too late. The Revolutionary army was building.
I fanned the flames giving the news coos the scoop on how Big Mom was raised to be a weapon of the world government and her full backstory. It was a sensational hit as that had bit them in the ass hard. I also spread the news about Z's passed and the government's manipulations.
Soon enough the navy would see practically all their forces quit and no new recruits to take their place either. But none of that mattered to me at the moment, what did was the soon to be looming battle with the Big Mom pirates and the beast pirates after that.
We arrived on whole cake island a week later we met up with Jimbei who told us about his past as a member of the Big Mom pirates so that he could protect Fishman Island after Whitebeard's death. He'd just quit as we were in route to declare war on Big Mom.
I handed him Olivia and told him he'd be staying on the ship to protect her during the battle while we went out and fought. When we arrived at whole cake island, I didn't hesitate to reveal our presence as Luffy rocketed away to fight Big Mom.
I used Soru to find my own opponent, Katakuri. He was surprised but not backing down either. In the span of minutes our whole crew minus Jimbei squared off with the lieutenants of the Big Mam pirates. They all had a difficult and interesting time except for Luffy as his fight was beyond difficult even for him. He'd been forced into his fifth gear to fight with Big Mom evenly and after I killed Katakuri, ending the strongest of the sweet commanders, I headed back to the ship while reminding Luffy of his senzu beans.
When the others came to the ship, I stepped out for a minute, killing all their opponents. Finally it was just Luffy and Big Mom while all the island's inhabitants fled because their fight was actually sinking the island. Even the Germa kingdom that had used Sanji as a bargaining chip was fleeing now.
I made sure to save Sanji's sister and the only one worth a damn in his family along the way, bringing her back to the ship. Sanji finally joined us without Pudding, his bride to be. As the Island sank, Big Mom lost barely to a mentally exhausted Luffy.
I caught him while Big Mom landed in the sea and drowned. I took what I needed from her mind anyways and stole the Rio Poneglyph from her ship, bringing it to Robin and the red. We set sail for Wano, the samurai kingdom while Luffy recovered and we got the second set of coordinates for the location of Raftel.
The first had been on Zou and now with big Mom's, we had two. If and when we beat Kaido, we'll have three and the last was located on Sphinx island where Marco and Sabo were currently at.
My sack of fruits had grown heavy with devil fruits lately so I sent what I could to our allies and the fleet now under Luffy's command. The marines were right behind us picking off the Big Mom pirates as we left so I wasn't surprised that the next time the news coo came by, Luffy's bounty had risen and he was declared the new Yonko with a bounty of one point five billion Berry.
The crews bounty had shot up as well with the lowest being Chopper and Olivia's at five hundred million berry. My own had went up to one point three billion while it was a mix mash of seven and eight hundred million berry bounties for each crew member.
Jimbei had officially joined our crew as well now so I was busy tort- ahem, training him into an admiral class individual before he rejoined his crew and lead a secondary fleet for us. We all spent a great deal of time honing our skills and powers inside the training room over the next two days as we headed to Wano.
With Sanji back we were now calling on all the fleets to join up including Law as he had agreed. They would deal with X-Drake, Hawkins and Apoo. The three rookies from our generation while we dealt with the beast pirates.
I would take on Jack, Sanji would fight Queen and Zoro would fight King. That left Luffy to fight Kaido and Nami to fight Orochi. The rest would fight the Flying Six which Drake was apart of so Jimbei would fight him.
We entered Wano's boarders without challenge as Kaido was waiting for us with open arms. He relished a good fight and that's what we'd give him before his eventual death.
The disasters were waiting as well. We faced off on the beach and in the air while Olivia stayed on the boat asleep on Merry and well protected. I faced off against Jack and didn't hesitate to beat him down quickly like a bitch and cut off his head after carving him up good.
I sat on his mammoth body and watched the others fight. My devil fruit sack was filling ever so slowly as many of the beast man pirates had devil fruits. Unfortunately for them though, most of their fruits weren't real but artificial so there was no awakening.
The fake fruits didn't appear like the real ones did after death though so it was still slow going. When Nami finished off Orochi, deep frying the bastard, I sent a small needle through his skull and acquired the snake snake fruit, model Orochi.
Next Zoro finished off King, actually killing him and giving us the pterodactyl ancient zoan fruit. Then came Sanji killing Queen and giving us the ancient zoan fruit model Brachiosaurus.
That left Luffy fighting Kaido non stop in the air. Kaido wasn't taking Luffy seriously even when he went all out in his fifth gear which was a giant ape like form equal to Kaido in size utilizing all his abilities including haki.
I sighed as I slipped into Kaido's mind and found the location of the rio poneglyph. I slipped away and took it while leaving his shop and army in tact. When Kaido got serious, he beat Luffy down and created a crater where Luffy landed.
He'd passed out so I picked him up and tossed him to Zoro. "Take him back to the ship. He's not ready for this level of fight yet it seems."
Zoro asked if I had him and nodded. "I don't know who will win, but none of you are his match yet. Go back and I'll fight this beast."
They all fled after finishing their fights and I turned to Kaido who was looking at me in interest. "So you're the brat who helped Whitebeard in the war."
I nodded. "Let's take this elsewhere. I don't wish to destroy Wano and leave it as your tomb. Follow me."
I floated up and flew away with the light light fruit while Kaido followed. We landed on a small island a great deal away from Wano. When I turned to him, he snorted. "You'd better be worth the wait."
I smiled. "In a hurry to die are we?"
He snorted but attacked instead. I drew my swords and blocked his attack before sliding back. He snorted in disappointment and I put away my swords before holding up my hand. "Just a moment. I can't fight you with all this weight on."
I turned my watch down to zero and smiled as my body was released from the massive tension. Grinning, I traded punches with the world's strongest beast. For an entire weak we fought as storms and tsunamis blew away around us. The island was already sunk and he'd resorted to his dragon form which I joined him in to his surprise.
We clashed repeatedly creating giant weather phenomenon that effected half the beginning of the new world. Shanks and his crew had shown up to watch in the distance as did the marines and several large pirate groups including my own crew.
The marines didn't act yet as they feared I would attack them instead of Kaido and not even all four admirals watching now would be enough if Kaido and I attacked for ruining our fight. On the eighth day I shifted from a dragon into a man, bleeding and wounded everywhere while nearly exhausted.
Kaido asked. "Is that all then?"
I shook my head. "It's time I showed you something interesting."
I used Luffy's gear five then combined it with the lightning and fire fruit abilities. "Great Kong, Storm Ape, gear sixth!"
I took in the elements and shrank further into what appeared to be a modified super Saiyan hybrid or 4 form if you will. Grinning, I drew my blades and we clashed once more and this time I did horrible bloody damage to the giant blue eastern dragon as I wounded him deeply now.
Our fight only got fiercer for another two days before we both lost our ability to hold our forms and I made a platform of stone for us to fight on with magma and stone as well as ice as I'd frozen the sea in my last attack.
We were both panting and bloody but I wasn't nearly done. What surprised me though is that my swords had shattered in the last attack. I tossed them aside and pulled out my real blades warning Kaido. "This is your end beast emperor. Taste my final move-"
I crossed my swords as they covered in haki and smiled. "Say goodbye. Two sword style, the great divide."
I heard yelling from Shanks and all the really powerful people as they broke the ice to flee because they sensed what I was about to do. I ran and spun, before stopping beside Kaido and sheathing my swords. "Goodbye Kaido, beast emperor. May you find this fight worth your life."
I turned as the great pirate emperor Kaido divide into fourths along with the sea behind him and the sky above. I ate a senzu bean and felt myself break through physically into a mysterious realm of enlightenment. My own skin and blood became tougher as my old bodies unlocked and fused together into one.
My inner realm holding all my magical beasts and friends opened up to me. Smiling, I allowed Newt and the rest into my inner galaxies with their families and vice versa. They'd have to go to the inner realm to be released into this world but that was up to them.
My Basilisks, dragons and all sorts of other creatures had grown in size and numbers. I had enough Acromantulas to create an eight legged freaks type planet and enough magical plants to start my own universal enterprise. I set that aside for now as Shanks's crew had left while the Navy was rounding up whom they could.
I flew over to our ship and Luffy hit me on the head. "Ace, he was my opponent!"
I chuckled. "Don't worry, I intend to train you to beat even me Luffy. Then you can face Shanks and become the pirate king."
He smiled and laughed while I told him. "I got the Rio Poneglyph from Kaido. The last one is with Marco on Sphinx island. With it we'll have the location of Raftel but before we make you the next pirate king Luffy, you'll have to face Shanks and win yourself so follow me into the training room.
For the entire two weeks it took to get to Sphinx island, I trained him relentlessly and brutally in the time room. On the last 'day' inside, I came out banged up and bloody as he'd finally broken his own limits and became a beast of a pirate on the level of Whitebeard and Roger.
We'd fought for weeks afterwards and while my own swordsmanship had reached the absolute peak of sword king, I hadn't used them for the last fight so we'd trashed each other as he too came out covered in blood and tired of senzu beans.
He called for actual food and Sanji fed us while the others asked how it went. I lit a joint and sat back saying. "He's ready. I doubt even Whitebeard in his prime could stand toe to toe with him now and come out better than we look."
Zoro hummed before asking for a duel between me and him to gain more strength and a better understanding. I told him I'd do so tomorrow as today I want to relax and enjoy some time with my girls. We made land a bit later and Marco greeted us before giving us a copy of his Rio Glyph as thanks for the help during the war.
He knew he couldn't win anyways and it was better this way. I left the two other Poneglyphs I'd taken from Big Mom with him and his crew before we left and headed to where Marco directed us Shank's was. The next day I trained with Zoro and pushed him passed his limits repeatedly until he broke through to Sword King.
I continued to push and push him higher for then next seven days in the time room until like before we came out bloody and cut up. He'd reached the peak of Sword King and would need time and an exhausting near death experience to break through on his own.
Sanji and the rest were comfortable with their own strength for now except Robin and Shyarly. Those two I used my life force to perform the eternal youth operation on and it would've killed a normal person but not me.
I'd trained them together until Shyarly was a peak Sword Queen and Robin had reached my bodies physical endurance. She asked me and I obliged before removing her devil fruit with my awakened room room and heal heal fruit.
With that she took the devil fruit and sealed it away in her ring. I decided to do the same to the others I'd gathered as well. Over time I slowly took away the devil fruits of all the crew except Chopper as he needed it. The rest had agreed and didn't want them any more.
I did the same for the fleet as well after taking the training room and gravity watches from us and Fishman island to train them all up to admiral level. I did the same to each of our allies with my symbiote while we traveled across the Yonko's territories to Shanks's.
Marco had given me their Rio Poneglyph in secret to hide and I'd done so. It was now under Laboon's lake on the reverse mountain and the others were spread throughout the grand line thanks to my elves.
When we arrived on the paradise island Baltigo, Shanks was there waiting with his crew. Luffy smiled and shook his hand. "Shanks! I'm ready. Let's fight and after this I'll find one piece and become the pirate king!"
Shanks smiled and they both left together to a nearby island for their fight. I stayed on the beach with Olivia and watched the waves while she made sand castles. The rest went to watch the fight and damned if it didn't draw the Navy's attention.
It wasn't a war though and they weren't prepared to fight against us or Shanks's crew. What did surprise me though is that Sabo showed up asking for the Rio Poneglyphs. I sighed and told him I spread them throughout the world but gave him their locations anyways and telling him to put them back when he was done.
He wasn't happy to know he'd have to go to the East blue for the first one. Marco had denied him the ability to look at it as he'd told him if he wanted to become pirate king he'd have to beat him first.
I listened to Luffy and Shanks's fight until they all came back happy. I grabbed Olivia and went aboard the ship seeing Luffy's condition and told him. "Sabo is after one piece as well. We'll need to leave quickly if we are to beat him to it and I imagine Blackbeard is on his way here to find the location of the Rio Poneglyphs as well."
Luffy said goodby and I tossed Shanks a bag of senzu beans and told him how to regrow his arm if he cut the stump then ate the bean. He did so and told us he'd hold off Blackbeard while we headed to Raftel.
We left and headed into the roughest seas yet while the Marines gave chase. Zoro cut down half the fleet while we headed to Raftel. It was a two month journey that had us topping on small islands for air off the ship and constant indoors. Sea kings were a constant threat and several times the ship was nearly destroyed by them until we saw it. The island at the end, Raftel.
The moment we made land, Luffy shot off like a rocket and we all followed in excitement. I carried Olivia while running just behind Luffy as we entered an old kingdom like city which looked deserted.
It wasn't until we entered the palace that we saw mountains of gold and jewels that had Nami vibrating in excitement. There amongst them was a Poneglyph that Robin read aloud. "We the descendants of D. carry the flame of desire for vengeance on the one who betrayed us. He inslaved our people and forced us to go to war against the world. In the end we were defeated and like trash, abandoned. He, Im, first son of our priest, Shoaho, used his witchcraft to bend us to his will and as he abandoned us to ruin, we swore vengeance upon our name. The hundred clans of D. will never rest as our blood boils and forces us to act to our desires and so when Im betrayed us and became the secret leader of the twenty kingdom great alliance, we swore on our dying breaths that the land of Desire and the great Kingdom of Helios would have our vengeance in those that carry our will. May they bring great misery to our enemy. -Monkey D. Ternak"
I stilled and told Luffy. "He was probably your ancestor Luffy."
Puffy tilted his head and I sighed. "This Im fellow is still alive as well. My information puts him as the current leader of the world government and the five elders the fleet admiral answers to, answer directly to him."
I used this information properly and sent a copy to the news coo as well as all but the information on the ancient weapons. I went outside and dig through my memories before using my realm and making a ship for my symbiote as it went to meet up with Dragon the revolutionary.
The ship in question was the ancient weapon ship Pluton and I made ten of them. They were nearly as big as an island. When I made port at the Okama kingdom, I sent word to their king to bring the ten ancient weapons to Dragon.
After that my symbiote went to the moon and took the army of robots before leaving them repaired on the ship with the lightning-lightning fruit and a note for the Okama king on what they were and how to use them.
Finally, I sent it to Fishman island and told them to gather Noah and hook it to their island and the sea kings before having them pull it up into the new world. With the end of all the fun bits done, I made a literal shit tone of Dyna stones and planted them throughout the red lines above and below sea level. The only place that would be left standing would be the reverse mountain after the first one blew.
The shockwave was immense and the island of whisky peak was sunk. The first red line was destroyed completely except the reverse mountain of course. It revealed a massive root system that threaded the world it seemed.
I acted quickly and blew the second red line but not quick enough it seems as the dyna stones near mariejois were removed before they could blow. The rest of the red line fell though, revealing another massive root system and Fishman island barely got out in time as the rocks came crumbling down.
Soon the world knew for certain something was wrong and while we took the gold, a massive war was breaking out all over the world. I called for Kame as we left Raftel and went towards Elbaf, the land of the giants. We made it in under a day as Kame was just that big and fast now.
There we explored and had fun for a while until I bought the eternal poses for all new world islands. We spent the next month visiting them all before landing back were the red line was supposed to be. The war had become evident now and we could no longer ignore it.
I cleared a path through the giant sandbar that once was the red line and Zoro and I cut the roots of the vines in our way. I sent my symbiote to demolish the ones near reverse mountain and East blue as well.
We passed the revolutionaries and the war ships that were using to destroy the vines and bombard the last bit of the red line were Mariejois sat on top of. The marines were no longer fighting them but helping them instead now. When we reached the other side of the red line, I heard a sigh as the five elders came down to face the revolutionaries and the admirals.
They were backed up by Im who floated down and glared my way. I snorted and flipped him the bird as Kame met us on the other side and we continued our journey. The five elders and I'm were out numbered sure, but not out gunned.
He used his magic and control over peoples minds to make them fight each other until I snorted and cast a mind net over the groups, freeing them from his spells. The five elders were overwhelmed when Garp, Sengoku, Shanks and Dragon appeared, adding to those they were already fighting and they ended up dying screaming for Im to help them.
All the while he and I were in a sort of mental combat. As it turns out he's a god as well and a strong one at that. His father is Poseidon and his mother is Lilith, first daughter of the Ascended Godking, God.
