Having traversed countless realms, can you possibly be as clever as me?

Sitting under the parasol, Tsugumi was enjoying the farce with amusement, but Robin, sitting opposite him, suddenly spoke up.

"Lord Tsugumi, I have made up my mind. This is my wish."

Robin looked intently at the deity disguised as his messenger and solemnly said...

"I want to resurrect those who died with resentment in their hearts!"

Tsugumi turned to look at Robin, and said with great interest...

"This is quite unexpected. I thought your wish would be for the whole world to know the truth of history."

"Just like you said, history...maybe it's not that important." Robin smiled with relief and said softly.

"I've been chasing the truth of history for so long, just to make amends for the people who died on Ohara. But just like you said, even if you tell everyone about that turbulent history, nothing will really change."

"The general public will forget about this history before breakfast is served the next day, or they will just treat it as a story to tell over tea. People live in the present, not the past. History may be a reference, but it is not the answer to everything."

Whether it was because she had been taking Robin around to see the so-called truth of history during this time, Tsugumi had in any case fulfilled her wish.

The truth that the scholars of Ohara were once so determined to find has been deciphered, and the truth of history has been memorized by Robin.

But then what? Nothing more. Her life didn't change drastically because of it, and perhaps that's why she let it go.

Then she wanted to make a somewhat selfish and cliché wish.

To resurrect those who do not wish to die.

"Of course, easily!" Tsugumi looked at Robin, tilting her head and smiling.

“But are you sure it’s everyone? That’s complicated. I suggest focusing on the next forty years.”

It's not that we can't revive those from even further back, it's just too troublesome, almost like reconstructing the world.

Robin readily agreed; forty years was enough to cover everyone she cared about.

"But can we wait a moment? I hope to come out and fulfill your wish when the performance reaches its climax."

"What exactly is your purpose in doing all this?" Robin looked at Tsurugi with curiosity, but the latter only smiled and remained silent.

Robin stopped asking; the purpose and reasons were indeed unimportant.

For someone who can easily decide the fate of the world, making themselves happy is the best excuse.

Suddenly, the sunlight in the sky emitted a burst of intense light, and then the dazzling light converged on the top of the Alabasta Palace.

In an instant, everyone in Alabasta stopped what they were doing and looked in the direction where the light was converging.

There, emerging from the golden sunlight accompanied by a clear birdsong, was Saint Vivi.

Gone is the fragility of a princess, and gone is the sharp decisiveness she displayed when she possessed Queen Lily. Now, Vivi possesses the gentleness of a saint and the sharpness of a leader.

Kosha and Kobra stood beside her, along with the bishops of the Axis Church and high priests from all over the sea.

Vivi took a deep breath, looked at her people, spread her arms, and shouted from beneath her white cloak fluttering behind her.

"People of Alabasta, people chosen by Lady Aqua and Lady Tsugumi!"

"Do you see the flames of revolution raging? I see them, no, I am witnessing them with you all now!"

"The radiance of the two gods has bestowed upon me their great power, and this power, which we have acquired together, is also the power to prevent this sea from shedding blood again!"

"People, join me in ending the brutal rule of the World Government and the Celestial Dragons!"

"To put an end to that century filled with betrayal!"

"To answer the question of these eight hundred years of betrayal!"

"Now is the time to start the war!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The people below erupted in a frenzied and joyous cheer, singing for war, for death, for destruction.

Looking at Vivi giving her speech, Tsugumi stroked her chin and clicked her tongue in approval.

“Writing the manuscript on my arm is still too conspicuous.”

P.S.: So far, Im has been a much better boss than the two final bosses next door—but why do I feel more and more that he's likely to become cannon fodder the more he seems like a good boss? (pondering)

687. World War begins!

In the very beginning, Vivi was just a princess who wanted to save her country.

But now, the path she has embarked on will be a path of death filled with bloodshed and slaughter.

The Navy and the World Government are enemies! Or rather, as long as they don't stop supporting the Celestial Dragons and Im, they are enemies who must be eliminated.

What made Vivi make such a drastic change was Queen Lily's 'memory'.

Of course, this wasn't some kind of possession; it was just a collection of memories that Tsurugi made up out of boredom, which Vivi then read in its entirety.

She witnessed firsthand the war between the Twenty Nations and the Great Kingdom, then saw Im's betrayal, the ugly power grab among the Twenty Nations, and the endless destruction.

Sixteen streaks of aurora fell from the sky.

But the light brought not good, but the beginning of destruction. In an instant, it destroyed an island, a country, and killed millions of people.

Then, the sea rose by one meter because of this bombardment.

Countless towns were submerged, countless farmlands were destroyed, and countless children were displaced.

But it wasn't over yet; there were still two hundred more bombardments to come.

Uranus, the "King of the Heavens," launched two hundred relentless attacks day and night, nearly dragging the world to the brink of destruction.

Sea levels rose by a full 200 meters, submerging 90% of the world's countries.

Life vanishes like seaweed in the waves, the world is destroyed, and then rebuilt by the descendants of the Twenty Nations.

This is why the Celestial Dragons call themselves descendants of the Creator, because this Third World was indeed rebuilt by them from the apocalypse of destruction.

But as for why the world will be destroyed, that's none of your business.

We must never let this happen again. Vivi cannot accept the image of Alabasta being submerged by the sea!

Therefore, rise up, resist, and kill!

With the blessing of the sea goddess (Aqua: Achoo!), and the grace of the god of conflict, let us overthrow the rule of the mastermind behind it all!

Having made up her mind, Weiwei took this step.

With Morgans' help, the declaration of war quickly spread throughout the entire sea.

From the four corners of the world to the new world, almost everywhere newsbirds could reach, they knew about this event.

The Navy is about to execute the Pirate King's son, and on that very day, the Alabasta Holy War Army, which once killed an Admiral, will also attack Marineford.

It's not about doing anything for the Pirate King, but about taking revenge on the Navy, the World Government, and the Celestial Dragons!

The sea was in an uproar, then filled with excitement. Regardless of whether the Alabasta Jihad Army succeeded or not, or to what extent it could achieve, the sea would be transformed by this!

After all, this is the first, or rather, the first time in history, that a formal declaration of war has been made against the world government.

Hahaha, let's fight! Let's fight! I want to see rivers of blood!

Upon learning of this news, Sengoku remained silent for a long time before finally making a call to the Five Elders via Den Den Mushi.

Sengoku's original plan was more than enough to deal with Whitebeard, but if the Alabasta Holy War Army, whose strength was difficult to measure, were added, things would be very different.

This is precisely the necessary step to restore the Navy's reputation. Only Ace's death can curb the trend of searching for the One Piece on the high seas and restore the Navy's deterrent power.

Sengoku had prepared himself for the Five Elders to reprimand him, but to his surprise, they completely supported his actions.

Furthermore, the Five Elders pledged to provide the Navy with all possible support.

CP0, acting as the shield of the Celestial Dragons, will arrive on the battlefield to fight alongside them. If that's not enough, there will be the Knights of God. If that's still not enough, the Five Elders will personally join the fight.

The final promise left Sengoku questioning his very existence. You guys? The Five Elders? What could five old men possibly fight?

Regardless, such unreserved and wholehearted support truly moved the entire Warring States period.

After all, he has always been only qualified to be a punching bag in front of the Five Elders. They say the Navy is nothing more than the face of the World Government, and the Navy is just the dogs of the Celestial Dragons.

Now that he has such strong support from the Five Elders, what more can be said?

loyalty!

Sengoku, however, was so focused on getting this done that he completely failed to notice the increasingly strange looks he was receiving from his colleagues...

In short, time passed by so quickly.

The execution of Ace, the Marineford War begins!

......

While the world's attention was focused on this Marineford War—

Nobody noticed, or rather, before anyone had even realized it.

Another Yonko has fallen.

Her name is Charlotte Linlin, known in the martial arts world as BIG MOM. She occupies an entire sea area of ​​the Kingdom of Totto Land and is the only true 'Queen' among the Four Emperors!

After all, compared to Whitebeard and Shanks, who were both homeless, and Kaido's crew, which was purely bandit-like, Big Mom was the only pirate emperor who truly fulfilled the duties of a 'king'.

968 >>

While Totto Land is a country where you have to pay taxes with your 'lifespan'—which sounds terrifying—it's practically heaven compared to other places at sea!

After all, you only need to pay taxes equivalent to more than ten years of your lifespan to live peacefully to sixty years old, hardly need to work, have no worries about food and clothing, and even live in a place where there is food.

Aside from the high risk of diabetes, the world truly deserves to compete for the title of the happiest country in the world.

And this is also the reason why BIG MOM was defeated so quickly.

The one who defeated this veteran pirate emperor was none other than the invincible Clown King Buggy!!!

Moreover, Buggy had never even met Big Mom, nor had he ever been to Totto Land. He didn't even know what Aqua had done for him until the Big Mom Pirates and the Beast Alliance came knocking on his door!

The whole thing started thanks to someone Bucky had saved on Thriller Bark.

Her name is Lola, the captain of the Rolling Pirates, and the former Chocolate Minister of Cocoa Island. She ran away from home because she refused the arranged marriage offered by her mother.
