The world still echoed with the remnants of the battle in Wano, the defeat of two Emperors, and the rise of new powers. But a new storm was brewing, one that threatened to eclipse even the fall of Kaido and Big Mom.
A swarm of messenger birds, controlled by the cunning Morgans, scattered across the skies, dropping copies of the World Economy News newspaper on every island, every ship, and every corner of the known world. The headlines, printed in bold and large letters, were impossible to ignore:
[THE WORLD UNDER THE YOKE OF A TYRANT! IMU, THE TRUE RULER OF THE WORLD, REVEALED AFTER CENTURIES OF DARKNESS]
On Drum Island, a shiver ran down Dr. Kureha's spine as she read the newspaper and took a few sips of alcohol. Not from the cold, but from the revelation of such an ancient and dark secret. "Imu?", she murmured, her voice hoarse from the years "So this is his name...?"
A young pirate, with a scar on his cheek and a defiant look, punched the newspaper in a tavern in Sabaody Archipelago. "Damn bastards! They've been lying to us all this time!" His cry echoed in the air, finding an echo in the hearts of those who had suffered under the yoke of the World Government.
[THE GOD VALLEY CONSPIRACY UNCOVERED! IMU, THE ARCHITECT OF HASHIRAMA'S FALL, HERO OR VILLAIN?]
In a library in Jaya, a young historian let out a gasp. Her hands trembled as she turned the pages of the newspaper, devouring every word. The story of God Valley, an event erased from the history books, was finally coming to light. But who was this Hashirama Senju? A hero who sacrificed himself for the good of the world, or a villain who deserved his fate? Uncertainty gnawed at her, but she also felt a spark of excitement. The truth, at last, was coming out.
In a dark corner of Mock Town, an old pirate stroked his beard, lost in his memories. "Hashirama... that name brings back memories of a different time, a time of chaos..." His eyes filled with tears as he remembered a man who had defied the world and paid the price.
[THE NAVY STAINED WITH BLOOD! HASHIRAMA MURDERS VICE ADMIRAL TOKIKAKE, JUSTICE OR REVENGE?]
In New Marineford, the news dropped like a bomb. The marines, who had always believed in the justice of their cause, were forced to question everything they knew. A young recruit, his face pale and eyes filled with tears, wondered if he had chosen the wrong path. Was the Navy really the force for good he believed it to be, or was it simply a tool of a corrupt government?
In a secret hideout, members of the Revolutionary Army looked at each other with a mixture of amazement and hope. The news of Hashirama's return and his attack on the Navy was a ray of light in the darkness. Could this man be the ally they needed to overthrow the World Government?
[NEW MARINEFORD DEVOURED BY NATURE!]
On Goat Island, people looked in horror at the images of New Marineford, now a lush forest. Hashirama's power was terrifying, but also fascinating. What kind of man could control nature in such a way?
On Long Ring Long Land Island, the elders gathered in council. "Hashirama... that name carries the weight of history," said one of them, his voice deep and full of wisdom. "We must prepare for what may come. This man may be our salvation, or our doom."
[HASHIRAMA HAS RETURNED! THE WORLD PREPARES FOR THE UNEXPECTED]
In the Kingdom of Dressrosa, Princess Rebecca bit her lip, worried about the future of her kingdom. What would Hashirama's return mean for Dressrosa? Would he be an ally or an enemy? Uncertainty filled her with anxiety, but also with a strange excitement.
The whole world held its breath, waiting for Hashirama's next move. Uncertainty and curiosity mingled in the air, creating an atmosphere of tension and anticipation.
