Back on Gyangu Island, the atmosphere remained festive as news spread about Capone Bege, the Boss of the Capone gang, discovering his appearance in the manga.

"Who is this old man..."

"Ray... Rayleigh!? The Pirate King Vice-Captain?!"

"What is someone like him doing at a human auction? Could he be sold as a slave? What a joke!"

"How disgusting... If I had been born a Fish-Man, my fate would have been just as bad as theirs, but fortunately..."

"Is he going to confront the Celestial Dragon? He actually hit him... it's unbelievable!"

"What's wrong with this crazy crew? Unbelievable!"

"They've already faced off with Admiral Aokiji in the past, don't they know that being chased by an admiral means the end for them?"

"Thank goodness I don't have the recklessness of Straw Hat Luffy. Otherwise, I'd be imprisoned in the notorious Central Prison with my father by now!"

"This power...? Is this what they call Haki? Why don't I possess it too... sigh~ my life would have been easier against those damn hunters if I had it."

All the while, Capone Bege was completely absorbed in the events of the manga. The more he read, the more his excitement and tension skyrocketed.

"Boss! Look! You've appeared again, and this time it seems like you're trying to escape, confronting an admiral's face..."

"So what? Who the hell would want to face an admiral in Paradise?"

...

"One Piece" Events:

—————————

[Sabaody Archipelago, Lawless Zone]

"This is awful!! This town is in trouble!! The entire archipelago is in danger!!!"

The pirates placed their hands on their heads and shouted with terrified expressions drawn on their faces.

"Strawhat Luffy attacked a Tenryuubito!!! They were at an auction house on Grove 1!!!"

"He did what!!?"

"Kidd and Law were there, too!!"

...

On the side of the Fire Tank Pirates, Capone Bege was extremely tense at this moment: "How's the coating of the ship going!?" he asked.

"Completed yesterday!!"

"We're launching for Fish-Man Island immediately!!"

"We can't handle an admiral coming down...!!!" Bege immediately declared that he wouldn't stay here and wait for the end.

"Sir!!"

...

On the other hand, the captain of the Jewelry Bonney crew was annoyed after hearing the news:

"...!! That freaking moron! His captain is an idiot, too!!!" By saying that, Bonney was referring to Zoro.

"If I see them in the New World, I'll kick their asses!!!" she exclaimed.

•———•———•———•———•———•

In the Sorbet Kingdom:

"Hahahaha! Our little princess is merciless! You really want to kick their asses!"

"Will we really see that happen someday?"

"Maybe... but the one who will be kicked in the ass is our little princess-"

As soon as he said that, Ivanov felt a suffocating pressure from Kuma's gaze, so he quickly withdrew his words.

"N-fufufufu~ I'm just kidding ~ Bonney is so strong! She can really kick anyone's ass just by turning him into a child or an old man."

Kuma glanced at his child who was excited about her reappearance and said:

"It seems that your counterpart in the manga is ready to try to escape from the Admiral's clutches, otherwise, how will she confidently say that she will go to the New World."

"Dad~ is the New World really as scary as they say about it?"

"What's scary about it is its strange weather, and the Pirates are already out of time... let's see, if you mean the New World in the manga, it must be really scary... but not anymore for our real-world counterpart."

"A New World with almost no pirates, undoubtedly, this is a positive change, one of my dreams to achieve was the reason that prompted me to form the Revolutionary Army... but it was achieved by Rob, and I'm happy for that."

This time Dragon spoke with a smile.

...

•———•———•———•———•———•

After hearing the explosive news, even the most fearless monk felt their madness shrink.

"What a troublesome crew...!!" said Urouge, referring, of course, to the Straw Hat crew.

Now, he was completely sure of it.

...

After feeling the intense shock from the news of the upcoming war, another piece of news startled X Drake and his crew, making them eager to escape from there as quickly as possible.

"Everyone, work on preparing the ship for sail!" Drake commanded.

"Yes, sir!! Right away, Captain Drake!!"

"Now... Who's going to come...!?" Drake wondered about the admiral who would be coming.

Minion Island:

Inside the Pirate Barrels Pub:

"So far, only two admirals have appeared out of the three whose names have been mentioned, right?"

"The first to appear was Admiral Aokiji, immediately followed by Akainu, but that was when they were still vice admirals during the famous Ohara incident..."

"Aokiji then appeared, as the first real Admiral in the story, in Long Ring Long Land…"

"The admiral named Kizaru remains... He's the only one who hasn't shown up yet... so I'm assuming he's the one who's coming this time."

Having said all that, Barrels drank his wine from the large wooden pestle in his hand at once.

His pirates looked at him in amazement, even his son Dory was in shock.

"Captain, did you take drugs? How can you analyze it so cleverly?"

"This is amazing, captain!"

"But captain... isn't that what the person called Odachi said in his tweet a little while ago -?"

Before the man finished his speech, Barrels threw a wooden cup at his face.

"Shut the fuck up!"

"Well, my son... your counterpart in the manga is in trouble this time... since you were in the Navy and defected to the ranks of Pirates, the next Admiral must tear you apart for treason..."

"... That is if you really betrayed them."

Hearing that, Drake fell into a meditative silence for a moment.

…

Tens of thousands of meters above sea level, the festive atmosphere on the sky island of Birka was no different from that in the blue sea.

"Fufufu~ what a mess..."

"It's all because of Straw Hat Luffy... Due to his thick plot armor, he'll come out of it unscathed... but what about us?"

"Well, I'll pray for our innocent souls. After all, this is the admiral we're talking about..."

"Anyway, whatever the outcome, I will be satisfied if the Straw Hat Pirates suffer as much as we will~"

Urouge was well aware that the protagonist of the story cannot lose badly; fate must find a way out for him from somewhere.

...

•———•———•———•———•———•

"The situation's how it is...!! They're not going to just round up everyone they see, right?"

"They'll be after Strawhat Luffy."

The On Air Pirate crew gathered under the leadership of their captain, Scratchmen Apoo, who had just spoken.

After all, even he didn't want to be chased by an admiral, despite saying, "I kinda want to see what an admiral is like."

As always, the curious cat got killed, and Apoo would later discover this.

"Apoo, what are you saying!? Let's get out of here!!" Hearing that, his crew members broke out in a cold sweat. If their captain truly acted on what was going through his mind, they would undoubtedly be buried here.

...

Not far from Apoo's crew, the Hawkins crew was in the same situation, but with a captain as calm as still water.

"Captain Hawkins!!!" shouted the crew members. It was evident that they had heard what happened, and they urged their captain to make the decision to escape.

"Calm down... Today isn't my day to die," Hawkins replied.

His crew members wanted to cry, but there were no tears...

They all had the same thought: "It's not your day to die, but hell, what about us!? You have all our lives within you, don't you...? We are the ones who will die for you, damn it!"

Of course, they didn't dare to say that out loud.

Long Ring Long Land Island:

Inside the art store:

Tonjit looked at the members of his tribe, who were having fun reading the manga, and then turned his head to look at the strange men with long arms.

"Strange... didn't they notice that the kid with the man is Scratchmen Apoo?"

Tonjit muttered under his breath before returning to delve into the events of the new volume.

…

"Yoho! My son is really not afraid of the Admiral!"

"Why would I be afraid of him, Oyaji? Isn't my counterpart in the manga a Supernova like Luffy and the others?"

Apoo was still an 8-year-old child, so his ideas were that simple.

"Don't get cocky, Apoo, even if you are talented, without a doubt today will be the day when your manga counterpart will get his first setback."

At least his father had some insight.

…

Yellow Stone Island:

"…"

"What? Is there something on my face?" The blond boy with a pale face asked the young girl who was looking at him with narrowed eyes.

"Your counterpart in the manga is interesting... he hasn't even been afraid of the Admiral, right, hehe~" His sister named Archa laughed sarcastically.

"If he said that he will not die today, it means that he will not die... so why fear -"

Before Little Hawkins could finish his words, he was drowned out by a crowd of newly appeared fanatical fans.

"You really are Basil Hawkins at this childhood age!"

"I want an autograph!"

"And me too, please give me an autograph!"

"Are you his sister?"

"Beautiful little sister~ can you ask your little brother for an autograph for me?"

All day long, the brother and sister kept running from fanatical fans one after another.

These fans had one thing in common... they all admired the mighty pirates.
