Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

The world government continues to exercise restraint towards the Straw Hat crew.

Because there is no way to eliminate all of these people for the time being, they have grown up and are gradually becoming a threat to the world government.

This group's positioning is similar to that of the Roger Pirates, except that they didn't expect that Roger's crew would actually collect all the Poneglyph icons and find the final island.

"Don't joke around, this place isn't up to you to call the shots now."

Luffy pointed behind him, "They are all my crewmates. Do you want me to abandon them? Don't even think about it."

"Straw Hat, I'm counting on you. The world deserves to know the truth."

"Vegapunk, who was forcibly taken away by Franky, shouted loudly."

With a snap, Vegapunk's voice rang out again.

"But everyone, there's no need to worry."

In the video, Vegapunk shrugs and continues in a playful, lighthearted tone, "As a human being, living in this world, I should leave something behind. That's what I thought when I was young."

Now, as an old man, I feel that this idea doesn't seem wrong, especially since I'm a scientist, haha.

After making a simple joke, Vegapunk's expression slowly turned serious.

"Okay, enough with the jokes."

In the video, Vegapunk takes a deep breath and says, "Next, I'd like to introduce you to the world we live in and the history of this ocean."

This video will now be relayed from naval bases around the world and broadcast globally. Basically, it can be played wherever there's a Den Den Mushi (snail phone) available; if not, please listen to the broadcast.

"This is the most important gift I have left to the world."

The five elders' expressions changed at the same instant.

"Vegapunk!"

Vochuli let out a roar, and for the first time, genuine terror appeared on his usually calm face. "What the hell do you want to do?!"

"Turn it off!"

Garin shouted, "Contact Naval Headquarters immediately and cut off all broadcast signals!"

Nassou's voice became grave. "It's too late. There are too many relay stations, and the signal has already spread globally. Since Vegapunk has said so, even his death can't stop it?"

Mazsan: "The more important thing now is... how much does he actually know about the contents of that video?"

Piet Saint remained silent, his eyes fixed on the enormous phantom hovering in the air, a murderous intent surging within them.

Vegapunk, you're digging your own grave!

No, you're digging a grave for the whole world!

The fact that Vegapunk is still alive is no longer important; we must find the source of the sound.

However, the Straw Hat crew had already stuck to them, and there was no way for them to get away for the time being.

After all, they are executives who have experienced several wars between the Four Emperors, and they also possess the talent of Conqueror's Haki, making them rare and powerful figures on the sea.

The only useful member of the Navy is Kizaru, but unfortunately, Kizaru is currently being held back by Kuzan.

It's not fair to say that Kizaru was slacking off. If he really had the ability to kill Kuzan, he wouldn't just be an admiral.

"Straw Hat Boy!"

Volchuli Saint roared in fury, "Don't be so smug! What Vegapunk did will drag the entire world into chaos! Do you know what that means?"

What does it mean?

Luffy didn't seem to care. "It means that what you've been hiding is finally going to be revealed to everyone."

He grinned, "Isn't this great?"

In the holographic image, Vegapunk's voice continues.

"I have committed two sins."

"Therefore, I could be arrested, or even beheaded. I will set up a program so that this video will automatically play when it detects that my cardiopulmonary function has stopped."

"However, there is one thing I hope you can understand."

"Whoever judges me, I do not want to label them as evil. I do not readily judge a person's good or evil, because I do not know enough to draw a conclusion about them."

Vegapunk paused in the scene, seemingly considering his words.

"What I'm about to say is somewhat unbelievable. Many people might even find it laughable. But I think everyone has the right to know."

His voice trailed off.

"Let me start with the conclusion."

Vegapunk stared directly into the camera, as if looking directly into the eyes of everyone in the world.

"This world will sink into the sea!"

Franky almost threw the little old man's true form off his back.

"Are you kidding me?!"

Franky's sunglasses were askew on his nose, and he froze. "Doctor, are you kidding me?"

Bonnie's voice trembled slightly, "Is this true?"

Anyone who hears such a statement would immediately find it absurd.

Why did the world sink?

Vegapunk nodded and sighed. "Let's continue listening."

No wonder his friends, those archaeologists, wanted to explore the history of this world.

There's a reason for that.

Otherwise, who would have known that the world would sink?

"For me now, what I'm about to say hasn't happened yet. But if the sensors I've built and my calculations are correct, then shortly after I finish recording this video, the whole world will suffer from an unusual earthquake disaster."

"The earthquake will cause sea levels to rise by about one meter in various places, and some islands will become uninhabitable. Beaches all over the world will be unable to escape the fate of disappearing."

In the video, Vegapunk pauses for a moment, then says, "If the aforementioned disasters do not occur, then you don't need to listen to what I'm about to say."

But if the facts are as I have said, then I hope you will listen to me carefully.

This earthquake cannot be simply classified as a natural disaster!

As his voice faded, the whole world fell silent.

In a corner of the Grand Line, there is a windmill village.

Makino stood at the bar entrance, the rag she was holding falling to the ground.

"The world sank into the sea?"

Her lips moved slightly. "Is Luffy there?"

But the patrons in the bar all came out, and the noisy chatter spread through the street.

Someone laughed, "This must be some kind of terrible joke."

Some people shook their heads, saying, "That old man must be crazy. How could the world sink into the sea?"

But... that's Vegapunk.

Everyone in the world knows that man's name.

Mysterious, yet familiar.

East China Sea, Cocoa West Village.

Nokiko stood in the orange grove, holding pruning shears in her hand.

Behind her, orange trees swayed gently in the wind, and the air was filled with a familiar fragrance.

“Belmel”.

She whispered a name, "Did you hear that? This world seems to be more complicated than we imagined."

A bitter smile tugged at the corners of her lips: "But Nami must be there right now. With that Straw Hat guy around, she's bound to run into all sorts of weird stuff."

The Grand Line, Baratie, the sea restaurant.

"Hey, hey, hey, you're not kidding, are you?"

The frying pan in Paddy's hand clattered to the ground, splattering oil that burned his feet, but he was completely unaware.

"The world is sinking?"

Carne's face turned pale. "Then what about our restaurant?"

"Fool!"

Zeff slammed his cane on the floor with a loud thud. "What's it to you? It's not like the world is about to end. You should be concerned about making sure your guests don't go hungry!"

The chefs were in a flurry of activity.

Zeff's expression gradually changed. He had a premonition that Sanji, that bastard, had gotten himself into some serious trouble again.

but.....

"The world sank into the sea? Roger, what did you see when you arrived in Laugh Tale?" he murmured to himself.

At first, many people in various regions who heard the broadcast thought it was a joke.

The idea that the ocean could be silenced is impossible.

However, some people have also recalled that there have indeed been many more unusual earthquake disasters recently.

His expression immediately changed.

"No matter how bad I am, I still yearn for peace, but this is my first sin."

"I dream of achieving eternal energy, and I am single-mindedly focused on making this world stride towards the future."

"But I got too close to the sun."

Luffy forced Vochuli Saint back with a punch, then turned to look at the image in the sky, a knowing glint in his eyes.

“That energy must be the power that activated Uranus.” He grinned. “That’s really impressive. No wonder the World Government suddenly had power after Impel Down.”

It turns out it was Vegapunk who created it, so it's not surprising.
