The Wheel of Fate

"T-This is impossible, right? 

"I don't believe it! There is no way this news is true!" 

"Hahaha! What good news! Guys, let's go on a rampage! The Marines are at their weakest!" 

"That's great! Let's attack more cities! Let's get more money!" 

"I just hope that nothing big is happening..." 

As the news of Kizaru was heard by the entire sea through the newspaper, everyone had their own reactions. 

Those who just wanted to have a peaceful life felt worried and fearful, thinking that the Marines had become weaker and they might not be able to protect their safety from the cruelty of pirates. 

Those who were evil, especially pirates, were happy with the death of one of the admirals, thinking that they would have more freedom and be able to rob more people as the Marines had grown weaker with the loss of one of the admirals. 

Yes, many had their own reactions, but those were just small people who couldn't decide on the development and how this world's future would be. Instead, all they could do was just wait for the response of the strong and how they would tackle this situation where the limb of one of the strongest organizations in the world was torn apart. 

"Mamamamama!" 

One famous and powerful female pirate laughed happily as she read the news of the death of Kizaru. 

"It's a good thing! The Marines have become weaker now!"

"Mama, should we attack the Marines?" 

All of her children thought that it was their turn to attack the Marines, especially in the New World, which was the place where they dominated. 

"Mamamama... it's good that you are all excited, but it's almost time for the party!" 

If it was her usual self, she might not be able to make such a clear judgment, but during this rare moment, her head was clear, and she knew that even if Kizaru had passed away, the Marines hadn't become so weak that they could be taken down by her pirate group. 

So, at this moment, Big Mom or Charlotte Linlin decided not to do anything. 

Yet, within the New World, Big Mom wasn't the only one of the big pirates who were included within the group of the strongest known as Four Emperors. 

While Linlin might focus on her party, one of the members of the Four Emperors was full of excitement when Kizaru passed away. 

"Wororororo!" 

A large man who appeared similar to a monster laughed happily as he drank his alcohol. "Boys, it's time for the war! Let's attack the nearby Marines group! Let's destroy everything! Let's start the big war!" 

"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" 

Kizaru had passed away; it was impossible for them to stay silent; instead, they had to take this advantage to bring more chaos to the world! 

"As expected, Kaidou is going to move." 

"This isn't good. He will destroy the balance between us. We have to stop him." 

Yet, while some wished to destroy the Marines while they were at their weakest, a certain powerful pirate group only wished for the balance of the world until the legendary savior came to save the world. 

Yes, instead of relying on his own power, this powerful pirate relied on others as if he was just a helpless being who could do nothing except give his arm to a weak animal so a certain boy could change this world. 

In his mind, the time hadn't arrived, and he couldn't allow the world to be in chaos, yet at the same time, he was also in anger inwardly, thinking about this cowardly individual or group who hid themselves instead of proudly showing themselves what they did. 

"Also, try to search for information on the killer of Kizaru." 

It was impossible for him to let go of the killer of Kizaru, as he wouldn't forgive anyone who destroyed the balance of the world until the dawn came to this world. 

Still, while the two strongest pirate groups in the New World were ready to fight each other, the last strongest pirate group was still at ease, resting on their ship lazily, either talking or drinking wine, but that moment disappeared when many of the members suddenly shouted in panic. 

"Dad! It's big news!"

"Hmm? What's wrong? Why are you all so loud? 

"K-Kizaru passed away!" 

"...what?" 

The strongest man in the world looked at his group of children, who appeared to be in a panic, yet when he looked at the news of the death of Kizaru, he was also dumbfounded since, similar to the Marines, he never thought that it was possible for Kizaru to pass away. 

Kizaru was the fastest man in the world, so how could one kill such a person? 

After all, even he, the strongest man in the world, couldn't kill Kizaru if they really fought each other. 

"Dad, we should attack the Marines now! It's time for the ceremony for that bastard Kizaru! It's our chance!" 

"Yeah, it's a rare chance for us!" 

"Let's make a move, Dad!" 

Yet, one young man appeared hesitant since even if he hated the Marines, a certain important person in his life was a member of this organization. However, he was a pirate, and he also understood the feelings of his comrades, who knew that it was a rare chance for them to make a move on the Marines.

More importantly, if his father, who was also the leader of this pirate, made a move, then the Marines would be as good as gone. 

Facing the clamors and the excitement of the many, the largest man on the ship, who was also the father of everyone and the leader of this pirate group, never looked at the group of many. Instead, his eyes were on the young man, and he saw his worry, showing his favoritism with this young man instead of many and watching this young man's expression. 

"Gurararara!" 

The man laughed as he drank happily. "Let's just relax and enjoy the day. The weather is good. I want to get drunk today." 

"..." 

Everyone fell silent when they heard their father's decision, but they only shrugged their shoulders and sighed since he had made his decision and no one thought to fight this decision. 

As for the thought that this man was afraid of the Marines? 

No one thought so since their father was the strongest man in the world! 

Nevertheless, the young man with freckles sighed in relief and looked toward the sea in the distance, wondering whether his younger brother had started to sail. 

At the same time, in the corner of the ship, a certain man whose presence was simply so low had a solemn expression on his face as he read the news. 

'It won't be the user of the Yami Yami no Mi, right?' 

If there was someone who could defeat Kizaru, the man could only think that it would be the user of the Yami Yami no Mi, as this was the only Devil Fruit that allowed to stop the movement of the Pika Pika no Mi. 

However, as the man fell into a rage and hesitation, someone suddenly shouted excitedly, "Dad, look, I found a Devil Fruit!" 

"...." 

The man fell silent, dumbfounded, before he sighed in relief, yet a cruel smile appeared on his face as he knew that it was time for him to move. 

"Young Master!" 

In other countries, many people sighed in relief when they heard their leader's voice. 

"Are you okay, Young Master?" 

Everyone was worried about their young master as he went to the Saobody Archipelago, where Kizaru was killed. While their young master was powerful, they knew that their young master wasn't Kizaru's opponent, and for someone who could kill Kizaru... they were afraid something might happen to their young master. 

Fortunately, their young master was okay. 

"Fufufufu, I am okay, but the sea will be more chaotic now." 

While Doflamingo couldn't avenge Machvise, there was nothing he could do, especially when the person who killed his family might be the person who killed Kizaru. If it was in the past, he would chase this person till death, but now? 

Knowing the cruelty of the sea, Doflamingo knew his limit, and he knew that he shouldn't get involved in this problem and return to his country. 

On another sea, while everyone showed various reactions due to the death of Kizaru, a certain young man stood on the small ship, ready to start his adventure. 

"Luffy, stop!" 

"Don't become a pirate! What should we explain to your grandfather if you go out now?!" 

"You stupid boy! Come back!" 

Everyone shouted with all of their might, but the young man just smiled brightly and shouted with all of his might, "I AM GOING TO BECOME THE PIRATE KING!" 

The wheel of fate had started to move, and the story was about to begin. 

However, Masa and Carina fell into silence as they saw the outside of their ship. Everything was covered in a fog so thick that it was impossible to tell whether it was night or noon. 

Or, rather, the noon quickly turned into night as this fog covered everything. 

At this moment, Carina looked at Masa with tears on her face and asked sadly, knowing that they had encountered another trouble, "W-We're going to be okay, right, Masa?" 

"..." Masa.

By the way, it might not be related, but I have edited the ending of "Riser Phenex isn't a Villain." 

Thanks!
