"And you, Shanks..."
Im looked at Shanks' face and sighed:
"When you chose to return to Mary Geoise, to rejoin your family, and to join the ranks of God's Blade, I was glad you made the right choice."
I have even prepared a place for you in the Knights of God. Once you join, it will be the moment you regain your great identity as a Celestial Dragon.
But you chose to leave....."
Im's voice turned angry:
"Even so, I still respect your choice. If the child wants to play outside, then let him play. But look at what you did today."
They actually dared to bring people to attack me!
“Im, these words have no effect on me. I have found the meaning of my existence.”
Shanks seemed to see the captain's smile before his execution again—a smile of satisfaction and anticipation.
Roger was his closest person, even more like a father than his unreliable father.
Therefore, his wish was naturally to get rid of Im!
Im then looked at the last person:
"Garp? I didn't expect even you to choose betrayal."
Garp's face was grim, and his fists were clenched tightly.
“Im… don’t get me wrong. In these thirty-eight years, I have never submitted to you for a single day. The only reason I have endured this is because of those ordinary soldiers who are about to be silenced.”
"But why aren't you worried now?"
Im seemed to have heard a very funny joke, and his peculiar voice emitted an extremely unpleasant laugh:
"Or do you think you can defeat me with your laughable strength?"
The five elders who had been silent behind him slowly stepped forward, their bodies radiating an increasingly terrifying aura.
"I don't even need to lift a finger; my henchmen alone could easily kill you all here!"
Behind Im, a six-pointed star began to twinkle and form once more.
As the light flashed, eight figures slowly emerged within the six-pointed star formation.
Knights of God!
Eight figures slowly walked behind Im and knelt respectfully on the ground without making a sound.
"Figando Green!"
The elderly man leading the group, with his starfish-like hairstyle, immediately crawled forward a little:
"Lord Im, your servant awaits your holy instructions at any time."
"From now on, you will only have one son, Shamrock. As for the other one, your Figarando family can deal with him yourselves!"
"Yes, sir. I only had one son to begin with, but he stubbornly came back, and I thought he might be of some help to you, so I reluctantly accepted him..."
Figarando Green raised his head, glared maliciously at Shanks, and slowly stood up, joining Shamrock in supporting the longsword at his waist.
"Now it seems that trash can only remain trash!"
"Hey, that guy who couldn't even withstand a single move from Rocks in God Valley."
Rayleigh pushed up his glasses, which reflected a cold glint. He smiled, but his voice was unusually indifferent. Shanks was found by Roger and grew up on the ship. He was practically like Roger's own child.
"In my opinion, a piece of trash who only dares to swing his sword at civilians and his wife is not even as good as trash!"
Figarando's face suddenly darkened, but without Im's orders, he dared not do anything.
“Wright-Sherlock—”
Im was clearly not interested in Figarando's past; he only wanted to see Li Xia's bewildered and panicked expression, and to see his regret in the face of this overwhelming power.
"If this is what you rely on, then what about now?"
Li Xia seemed not to hear Im's voice. He raised his head, his gaze passing over Im and over Mary Geoise, where a thick, enormous cloud was slowly approaching in the distance.
A smile appeared on his face.
"Wright D. Shah!"
Li Xia withdrew his gaze, looking at Im's wide-eyed shock, and slowly walked forward. This step seemed to send a signal, and the Five Elders, the Knights of God, and the people behind Li Xia tensed up at the same time.
"Da da da"
Footsteps sounded, and Green finally stopped waiting. His figure vanished instantly, but a flash of dark red light appeared in Rayleigh's eyes before he too disappeared.
"Clang!"
The two longswords met, and Rayleigh, a smile on his face, stared at Grin:
"Although I hate to admit it, this kid is the commander-in-chief this time. As his deputy, I can't let you interfere with the commander-in-chief so easily!"
Shamlock's gaze sharpened, and he drew his sword and charged toward his father's position, but Shanks was just as fast.
The moment their identical faces met, they understood each other's resolve.
"Kill them!"
Im finally lost all patience. He turned and left, letting his servants sway and transform into terrifying monsters.
The whole world was shocked by this horrific scene and plunged into unspeakable fear.
But Li Xia did not stop walking; he continued to move forward step by step, as if the monster in front of him did not exist.
A high-pitched dragon's roar resounded across the sky overhead:
"The Revolutionary Army is here!"

Oh my god, I fell asleep while writing this chapter. I was writing in a daze, and when I woke up with a start, there were actually a thousand or two extra words!
Chapter 33 War! Mary Geoise at the Eye of the Storm
Im stopped, turned around, and looked up at the sky not far away, his eyes filled with surprise and confusion.
Rayleigh, Figarando Grin, Shanks, and Shamrock, who were just clashing swords, simultaneously sheathed their weapons and retreated.
Everyone turned their gaze to the sky, watching the enormous creature drifting in.
The shadow cast by the floating island moved rapidly, gradually enveloping most of Mary Geoise.
The high winds from the heavens billowed the enormous sails that covered the sky islands. The edges of the sky islands were filled with countless Revolutionary Army soldiers, who held weapons in their hands. These soldiers, who were made up of slaves, farmers, refugees from kingdoms destroyed by the World Government, and ordinary people oppressed by the Celestial Dragons, were filled with anger and hatred, and they turned into a wave that could overturn the world.
Now, this seemingly calm sea, which had been brewing for a long time, has finally arrived in Mary Geoise.
Monkey D. Dragon stood with his arms crossed, and beside him stood the commanders of the four major legions from the east, west, south, and north, their huge banners fluttering in the cold wind.
Sabo held his 'Supreme Water Pipe' in his hand, his face, scarred from burns, radiating fighting spirit beneath his top hat.
"Revolutionary Army! Attack!!"
The world was stunned by what it saw: countless figures leaped down from the sky island, instantly filling the entire sky.
At the Navy Headquarters, all the naval officers turned pale with shock. They never expected that the Revolutionary Army would go all in. Sky Island belonged to the Revolutionary Army, everything.
What was even more unexpected was that they actually managed to move the entire floating island to the skies above Mary Geoise.
The navy, which had been taking its time and intending to stall for time, suddenly became frantic and rushed towards the Sabaody Archipelago.
Who wins or loses this battle is not important, but who is absent is very important!
"summer!"
Dragon, Sabo, and Aokiji descended from mid-air, merely nodding in greeting, yet they already knew that the decisive battle was about to begin.
"This is truly beyond my expectations..."
Im, who was about to leave, turned around, stared at Li Xia and the people behind him, and sneered:
"Perhaps I should award you a medal!"
Im pointed at each of them one by one, his cold smile growing ever stronger.
"Monkey D. Garp, Monkey D. Dragon, Revolutionary Army Chief of Staff Sabo, former Marine Admiral Aokiji, former Roger Pirates Vice-Captain Rayleigh, Pirate King's left-hand man Jabba, Yonko Shanks... and you, Light D. Shay!"
The shadowy figure laughed, a piercing laugh that echoed across the world via live stream:
"If it weren't for you, how would I have known that so many people were plotting to overthrow the World Government? You ungrateful scum!"
"If it weren't for me, the vast majority of people in this world would be dead long ago. It was my mercy that protected you all, and it was I who established the World Government!"
"Stop patting yourself on the back, Im."
Rayleigh also scoffed:
"We've been to Laugh Rud and witnessed the truth of history. Without you, the world would only be a better place, Im!"
People all over the world who were watching the projector held their breath, afraid of missing a single word.
Laugh Rudd—the legendary treasure Onepice.
Roger's dying words ushered in the Great Pirate Era, and everyone dreamed of reaching Laugh Tale, but no one ever knew what the One Piece was.
This is the first time someone has revealed exactly what Laughrud is.
The truth of history!
What about the others? They wished they could rush up to Rayleigh, pry open his mouth, and ask Laugh Rudd what he had to say!
"Lafrud?"
Im's laughter grew increasingly sinister; he no longer wanted to continue this charade and just wanted to get rid of these annoying flies as soon as possible.
"In short, I have to thank you for bringing together these criminals who intend to overthrow the world government, making it easier for me to eliminate them."
Perhaps you can call some people over; after I wipe them all out, I'll reward you with a reward you can never dream of."
"Da da da..."
As soon as Im finished speaking, clear footsteps came from the other end of the street. Fujitora's wooden clogs stomped on the floor, and his cane sword tapped against the bricks.
"If we're still lacking accomplices... I could also be a criminal 'intending to overthrow the world government'."
Fujitora opened his blind eyes, a smile on his face:
"Xia, you should have called me sooner."
The Five Elders were trembling with rage as they looked at Aokiji, Li Xia, and Fujitora before them, their faces extremely grim.
Satan raised his cane, pointed it at the three of them, and then pulled out a Den Den Mushi (electric phone) and angrily cursed:
"Navy! Look at the admirals you've chosen! Or have you already betrayed the World Government?!"
The conference room of the admiral's flagship was silent.
The entire high command of the Navy stared blankly at the screen, except for Akainu, whose Den Den Mushi was mimicking Satan's face, frantically questioning the Navy's stance.
Akainu's face was obscured by the brim of his hat, making it impossible to see his expression. Only the flickering light and swirling smoke from his cigar revealed that this admiral was definitely not as calm as he appeared.
It's no wonder that the entire upper echelons of the navy fell silent.
Two of the current three generals were away, and the outgoing general was also away. What's worse, it was broadcast live worldwide.
Anyone who sees this will feel that the Navy's stance has shifted towards the Revolutionary Army.
"marshal!"
A major general, drenched in sweat, rushed in, instantly drawing everyone's attention. He didn't care about anything else, and shouted loudly:
"Urgent telegrams have been sent from various bases. Marines are already gathering and preparing to storm the World Government's aerial tax collection agencies stationed in various countries. Even many junior officers are involved."
They're about to lose control! They're requesting instructions or support from headquarters!
The entire conference room erupted in commotion, but before they could react, the door was pushed open forcefully again.
Another major general shouted in equal panic:
"Marshal, urgent dispatch from the Sabaody Archipelago! A large number of pirate groups have appeared outside the Sabaody Archipelago, and pirates from all over the world are turning their course and heading towards the Sabaody Archipelago!"
Pirates that have been observed include:
