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

"Forget about Blackbeard or Whitebeard, let's go find One Piece!"

The pirates were buzzing with discussion, their eyes practically overflowing with greed.

The treasure that has driven pirates crazy for so many years is the ultimate temptation that has allowed the Great Pirate Era to continue to this day. Now, its existence and significance have been personally confirmed by the world's most authoritative scientists.

"That's right, Vegapunk."

The officer who remained licked his lips and turned to his companion beside him, "Has the admiral not returned yet? I can't wait any longer."

at the same time,

Vegapunk's broadcast traveled through the waves to reach the seas that were being turned upside down by the clash between the two Yonko.

The two fighters stopped simultaneously, each retreating a short distance to listen to the broadcast.

"The position of Pirate King, the final battle."

Shanks held Griffin's hand, his knuckles making a slight cracking sound.

Teach was also looking at him. "Hehehe, that's mine!"

The two emperors exchanged a glance.

Then, they collided again.

Île de la Paix.

If you were to ask which place on the high seas has the strangest atmosphere right now, it would probably be this place.

The headquarters of the Cross Guild.

The territory of the Four Emperors, including Baki.

The island was in an unbelievable frenzy, with thousands of pirates waving Buggy's posters and flags and shouting their captain's name at the top of their lungs.

"Captain Bucky!"

"We knew we hadn't made a mistake in following you!"

You always exceed our expectations!

"I never imagined that what you did was so great!"

"Your ambition is truly unfathomable!"

Surrounded by the crowd was a red-nosed man, none other than Chiyodo Kabaji.

Former apprentice crew member of the Roger Pirates.

The current Yonko (Four Emperors).

The apparent leader of the Cross Guild.

"what happened?"

Bucky looked around at his men with a blank expression. They had just been listening to Vegapunk's broadcast, so how did they suddenly become so excited?

I have absolutely no idea why his subordinates have started praising him again.

He was still basking in the joy of having inexplicably become one of the Four Emperors not long ago.

Even now, I still don't understand how I became one of the Four Emperors.

It seems that when his subordinates printed posters, they put his photo next to the Cross Guild's logo, and then everyone assumed he was the leader of the Cross Guild.

But without the Four Emperors, no pirate would be unhappy, right?

That's the highest honor for a pirate!

Even though I didn't do anything.

"Hehehehe, you guys are right!"

Bucky couldn't help but laugh, extending his hand to enjoy the flattery. "Let's go fight for it!"

Don't you think so...?

As he spoke, he turned to look at the two people beside him.

Hawkeye Mihawk, the world's greatest swordsman, the true fighting force of the Cross Guild, a man who can make most pirates cower in fear with just a glance.

Crocodile, a former Shichibukai, founder of Baroque Works, and the strategist and de facto operator of the Cross Guild.

The happier he laughed, the more terrifying the expressions on the faces of his two fathers became.

Bucky's smile suddenly became somewhat stiff.

The veins on the emperors' temples throbbed as their hands slowly reached for their weapons.

"I...I'm doomed." Bucky's lips twitched.

Naval Headquarters.

If the rest of the ocean was in an uproar because of Vegapunk's broadcast, then Marine Headquarters was in complete chaos.

The turmoil sweeping across the sea could not be avoided even here.

"What kind of nonsense is this! That bastard Vegapunk!"

"That shouldn't exist."

"What if we find the great treasure first?"

"Then who will help the people? Are you all idiots?!"

The naval high command was divided into several factions, arguing heatedly.

They had no idea what was happening on Egghead Island, and Akainu seemed poised to explode.

We can no longer contact Kizaru.

He didn't believe Kizaru had been killed.

While things were still swamped with problems there, news came that two of the Four Emperors were fighting in the waters near Egghead Island.

Blackbeard and red hair.

A full-scale war between two maritime emperors.

And what about the Navy Headquarters?

There's nothing the Navy Headquarters can do.

At this moment, he felt like a helpless husband, only able to watch helplessly.

Do nothing?

Then what is the purpose of the navy's existence?!

"It is now unstoppable. The fate of the world will be in the hands of whoever obtains it, in the hands of the one who obtains the One Piece."

This concludes the broadcast.

But no one can remain calm on the high seas.

The Four Emperors are gathering, and the strongest are taking center stage.

The old and new eras have converged here.

As war rages on and fates become intertwined, the epic tale of disaster continues to unfold in its final chapter.

The inherited will, the dreams of humanity, the waves of time... As long as the legend continues, the legend will never end!

Above Egghead Island, as the aftershocks of Emmett's Conqueror's Haki gradually dissipated, Luffy stood there, watching the voice of the giant robot fade away.

Emmett was happy.

After eight hundred years, it has finally waited for this moment.

I was asleep in the darkness before, and forgot too many things.

He forgot the faces of his former companions, forgot what he used to look like, and even forgot why he was waiting.

But when Joy Boy returned, when he had the chance to fight for the Straw Hat Boy again, when his mission came to an end.

"Luffy... go and become the Pirate King!"

Become the Pirate King?

Luffy grinned, "Of course!"

As the sound faded, the smoke and mist above Egghead Island were dispersed by an invisible force.

Sunlight poured down from the huge gap, illuminating the ravaged battlefield below.

The aftershocks of the Conqueror's Haki dissipated.

Luffy silently bid farewell to this familiar yet unfamiliar friend, then his gaze passed over Emmett's silent body and fell into the distance.

There, a figure was kneeling on the ground.

The dark mist surrounding Im managed to maintain its shape despite the direct impact of the Conqueror's Haki, but even so, it could not completely dissipate the residual power of that force.

The possessed body, controlled by Im's will, was trembling violently and uncontrollably, making it extremely difficult to maintain its form.

There is a price to pay for being in the lower realms.

Even possession is the same.

Therefore, Im spends most of his time among the flowers, overlooking the world from the Red Line.

Luffy looked at it and grinned.

"You bastard..."

Im's voice was squeezed out from between his teeth.

"I'll give you a ride."

Luffy flipped his right hand, and the black sword twirled in his palm.

As soon as he finished speaking, his sword-wielding motion came without the slightest warning.

A black slash flew from the blade, tearing through the air and sweeping outwards.

The slash struck the body that Im was possessing with unerring accuracy.

Black smoke exploded instantly.
