The Alliance of Chaos

News of the Purple Demon's first bounty had spread like wildfire throughout the world. The revelation that Azrael D. Franz, the enigmatic and powerful figure, had formed an alliance with the notorious pirate captain Shiki sent shockwaves through the seas. It was a union that defied expectations and defied the order of the world.

In the New World, whispers of the alliance reached the ears of the Yonko—Whitebeard, Big Mom, Shanks, Blackbeard, and Kaido. Each of them reacted differently to the news, their minds racing with thoughts of the possibilities and challenges this new alliance presented.

Whitebeard, the benevolent force of the sea, sat in his captain's quarters contemplating the news. A somber expression crossed his weathered face as he pondered the implications. He recognized the threat that the Purple Demon and Shiki's combined might posed, not only to the world but also to the delicate balance of power in the pirate realm. It was a situation that demanded his attention and action.

Big Mom, known for her insatiable hunger and ruthless pursuit of power, cackled with delight. To her, this alliance was nothing short of an invitation for chaos and chaos was her domain. She relished the thought of a battle against Franz, a worthy adversary who had managed to captivate her interest.

Shanks, the legendary captain with his scarred face and easy smile, took a more measured approach. He recognized the potential danger of this alliance but also acknowledged the opportunity it presented. Shanks was curious to see how the Purple Demon and Shiki would fare against the world, and he had his own reasons to keep a close eye on the unfolding events.

Blackbeard, the cunning and power-hungry pirate, seethed with jealousy and rage. He had always coveted the position of the most feared and dominant figure in the seas, and now the Purple Demon threatened to steal that title. Blackbeard's mind raced with thoughts of confrontation and the glory that would come with defeating Franz and Shiki.

Kaido, the indomitable beast, stood atop Onigashima, his eyes gleaming with excitement. To him, this alliance was an opportunity for a grand battle, a chance to test his own strength against two of the most formidable opponents the world had ever seen. The thought of consuming their power fueled his every step.

Meanwhile, in Impel Down, the notorious underwater prison, the news of the alliance reached the ears of the inmates. Among them was Bullet, the madman of Roger's pirate crew and one of the most powerful combatants the world had ever known. Bullet's eyes widened with both surprise and anticipation. He had heard tales of the Purple Demon's strength and had always yearned for a chance to face him in battle. The news of the alliance only fueled his desire for an epic clash.

In the depths of Impel Down, the tension among the prisoners grew palpable. Whispers of the Purple Demon and Shiki's alliance echoed through the corridors, and the inmates knew that the world was about to be consumed by chaos. Some feared the consequences, while others reveled in the opportunity for liberation and revenge.

And amidst it all, Doflamingo, the former Warlord and master manipulator, grinned wickedly. He saw in this alliance a chance to further his own ambitions and sow the seeds of discord. Doflamingo yearned for a battle with Franz, to test his own strength against the enigmatic figure that had captured the world's attention.

Amidst the chaos and anticipation that surrounded the alliance of Franz and Shiki, the World Government swiftly issued new bounty posters, showcasing the incredible threat that these two individuals posed. The posters, adorned with striking portraits, were circulated across the seas, further fueling the frenzy.

Azrael D. Franz, known as the Purple Demon, stared back at the world with piercing purple eyes that seemed to hold a hint of otherworldly power. His devilish grin displayed a confidence that sent shivers down the spines of those who gazed upon his image. The bold letters across the top of the poster declared his name, and beneath it, the impressive figure of his bounty: 2,500,000,000 berries.

Next to Franz's portrait, the fearsome visage of Shiki the Golden Lion commanded attention. With his wild mane of golden hair and his imposing presence, he exuded an aura of dominance. The bounty beneath his image declared him a formidable force to be reckoned with: 2,000,000,000 berries. It was a testament to his strength and the World Government's recognition of the threat he posed.

Shiki's POV

As Shiki gazed upon his own bounty poster, a mixture of pride and amusement washed over him. The number displayed beneath his fierce countenance, 3,000,000,000 berries, was a testament to his reputation as a fearsome pirate and his unrivaled prowess on the seas. He couldn't help but chuckle at the audacity of the World Government, thinking that such a price tag could ever truly capture his worth.

With a smirk playing on his lips, Shiki marveled at the attention their alliance had garnered. The world was trembling in anticipation, and he relished in the chaos they had unleashed. It was a perfect storm, with Franz's indomitable strength and his own tactical brilliance converging to challenge the established order. The bounties on their heads only added fuel to the fire, attracting those hungry for a taste of glory or the thrill of a battle against legends.

Garp's POV

Garp, having received the news of the astronomical bounties placed on Franz and Shiki, couldn't help but shake his head in disbelief. The figures were beyond anything he had ever encountered during his long and storied career in the Marines. It was a testament to the immense threat that Franz and Shiki represented, and the potential chaos that their actions could unleash upon the world.

Deep down, Garp couldn't help but feel a certain sense of pride. He had played a crucial role in shaping the destiny of Franz, training him to harness his incredible power and guiding him on the path to become the Purple Demon. But alongside the pride, a tinge of concern gnawed at Garp's heart. He knew firsthand the destructive power that these two individuals possessed, and he worried about the consequences of their actions on innocent lives.

Garp's mind raced as he considered the magnitude of the task before them. To bring down the likes of Franz and Shiki would require unwavering determination and an unparalleled display of strength. The bounties, while shocking to most, were a mere reflection of the true power lurking within these two formidable figures. Garp knew that the Marines would need to muster all their resources and call upon their greatest warriors to stand a chance against the Purple Demon and the Golden Lion.

However, Garp also recognized the opportunity hidden within the chaos. This was a chance for the Marines to prove their worth, to demonstrate their unwavering commitment to justice in the face of overwhelming odds. It was a chance for him to repay the debt he owed to Franz, and to test the limits of his own strength against a worthy adversary.

With a determined glint in his eyes, Garp vowed to do whatever it took to protect the innocent and restore order to the seas. The battle that loomed ahead would be fierce, but he was ready to face it head-on, alongside his comrades in the Marine forces. The clash of legends was imminent, and Garp was prepared to etch his name into the annals of history once more.

The bounties of Franz and Shiki stood as a stark reminder to all who saw them that these two figures were not to be underestimated. The numbers alone were enough to send shockwaves through the seas, making it clear that the World Government considered them among the most dangerous and elusive individuals in existence.

As the bounty posters spread far and wide, they became symbols of both admiration and fear. Pirates and adventurers alike marveled at the astronomical figures, while the world's leaders, including the Yonko and other powerful figures, pondered the implications of this unprecedented alliance. The bounties served as a constant reminder that the clash between Franz, Shiki, and the forces of the world was inevitable, and the outcome would shape the future of the seas.

The world braced itself for the arrival of chaos, eagerly awaiting the clash of titans and the unraveling of mysteries that would follow. The bounties of Franz and Shiki were not just numbers; they were invitations to a grand spectacle of power, where legends would be made and the course of history forever altered.
