Fifteen Minutes Ago, Marine Headquarters – Fleet Admiral's Office
The emergency alarm blared—news had arrived that a Celestial Dragon visiting the Sabaody Archipelago had been punched by none other than Straw Hat Luffy!
"Garp! It's your grandson again!"
"Hahaha! That brat sure takes after me!"
Garp burst into laughter, though everyone in Marineford knew that deep down, he was using it to mask his frustration over Ace's impending execution. After all, Garp had never hidden his disdain for the Celestial Dragons, openly calling them scum without fear of repercussions.
Sengoku roared, but then sighed in frustration. "Too many incidents in such a short time!"
"The Whitebeard Pirates are on the move, Impel Down is in chaos, and now this! Another Celestial Dragon was attacked!"
Massaging his temples, Sengoku felt an oncoming headache.
"Sengoku, looks like it's my turn" Kizaru said as he stood up.
Akainu glanced at him and spoke sternly, "Borsalino, make sure you handle this properly."
And so, just like in the original events, Kizaru departed for Sabaody. Meanwhile, Sentomaru set off as well, leading a squad of Pacifistas—the World Government's latest superweapons, a nightmare for any pirate. Even today's Supernovas would struggle against them.
Yet, Kizaru had no idea that what awaited him at Sabaody was far worse than just a group of rookies.
Fifteen Minutes Later – Sabaody Archipelago
The three biggest Supernova — Luffy, Kid, and Law — stepped out of the auction house, facing a blockade of Marines.
Before leaving, Luffy had instructed Zoro and the others to escape from the rear.
Meanwhile, Elior had extended an invitation to Law—an offer to join him.
Law's initial response was rejection, but Elior wasn't in a rush.
Outside, the battle between the Supernovas and the Marines was about to erupt. The overwhelmed Marines struggled against the combined might of the infamous rookies.
Elsewhere on the archipelago, other Supernovas—Hawkins, Apoo, Urouge, and Bonney—were filled with unease.
"Straw Hat Luffy actually punched a Celestial Dragon?"
They all had the same thought: Damn it, this idiot just doomed us all!
Everyone understood the consequences of attacking a Celestial Dragon. The repercussions would ripple across Sabaody, dragging even unrelated parties into the mess. And worse—this was Sabaody Archipelago, right next to Marine Headquarters!
At most, they had an hour before an admiral arrived.
Inside the Auction House
Robin and the others were about to slip away in the chaos when they noticed Elior's group had captured the injured Celestial Dragon.
"What are they doing?" Robin frowned.
"Are they planning to kill him?" Nami asked, a trace of fear in her voice.
"No idea" Zoro muttered.
Unlike Luffy, who was willing to eat and drink with anyone as long as they didn't harm his friends, Zoro had a strong sense of danger. And Elior and his crew? They reeked of danger.
"Captain, what's the plan?" Crocodile asked.
Bullet and Shiryu stood nearby, watching Elior expectantly. Though none of them feared the Celestial Dragons, touching one meant inviting endless trouble.
"Let's put on a show the world won't forget."
His eyes gleamed with madness.
"Let's show them our existence… and make the World Government, the Marines, and the Celestial Dragons tremble in fear."
A terrifying idea had taken root in Elior's mind—he was going to publicly execute a Celestial Dragon.
Before the Marines could publicly execute Ace, Elior would stage his own execution — of a Celestial Dragon.
And Sabaody Archipelago was the perfect place for such a spectacle. News agencies swarmed the islands, ensuring that whatever happened here would spread across the world like wildfire.
This idea was pure insanity.
Perhaps only Elior would dare to even consider it.
"Public execution?" Shiryu raised an eyebrow.
Seeing Elior's wicked grin, both Bullet and Shiryu smirked.
"A terrifying plan," Shiryu chuckled. "But I like it."
Barrett laughed. "Elior, our partnership is starting to get interesting."
"It was always interesting," Elior replied nonchalantly.
Crocodile, watching from the sidelines, sighed.
Elior was an absolute lunatic.
Ten Minutes Later – Sentomaru's Arrival
Sentomaru and his Pacifistas arrived, unleashing devastation upon the island.
Panic spread as pirates fled in terror, many unaware of what these mechanical monstrosities were. But to those who did know, seeing multiple "Tyrant Kuma" lookalikes walking toward them was horrifying.
"Don't let a single pirate escape!" Sentomaru ordered as the Pacifistas began their assault.
"Shit! That's… that's a Shichibukai!" Law's eyes widened as he saw the Pacifistas.
Something was off about these Kumas.
Unlike the real one, they fired laser beams—devastating blasts that tore through buildings like paper.
One Pacifista raised its arm, preparing to attack Law—when suddenly, an enormous icicle shot from behind him, shattering the machine instantly.
"One strike. That's all it took"
Law turned, still in shock.
A voice spoke behind him.
"Trafalgar Law… I must say, I admire you."
Law, however, was still in shock over the sight of "Kuma" being obliterated before his eyes.
