Gyangu Island in West Blue:

"Oh, darn it! It all began with Straw Hat Luffy! Why is my manga counterpart being targeted by the Marines due to something Straw Hat Luffy did?" Capone Bege exclaimed in frustration as he read the manga.

"Boss, please try to calm down! This won't help..."

"Exactly! You know Luffy very well, aren't you? Remember how you cheered when he punched that wretched Celestial Dragon Charlos? Hahahaha! Why the sudden cursing now?"

"Boss, just observe how composed your future counterpart appears in the face of the Marine blockade. It's truly remarkable!"

"Naturally, he would remain composed; he fears the admiral, not these insignificant small fry, idiots!" Bege retorted passionately to his followers.

"One Piece" Events:

((Be cautious of the rookies valued at over 100 million beri!!))

"Are you... 'Gang' Bege!?"

"Where are your crewmates!? Surrender now!!"

Bege: "…"

"We won't allow you to reach the sea!!" Marine soldiers surrounded Capone 'Gang' Bege from all directions, forcing him to stand his ground.

"… It's your defeat…" remarked Capone Bege.

"I possess more 'Military Power'..."

"!!?"

At that moment, the Marine soldiers didn't grasp Capone Bege's intention, but they would understand it later.

…

"Oh... Pardon me... If you could spare a moment... I'd like to inquire about something..."

At this juncture, Admiral Kizaru appeared next to the pirate crew of Hawkins, instilling them with fear.

"Kizaru!!!"

"Captain Hawkins, please flee!!!"

Contrary to expectations, however, Hawkins didn't seem frightened in the slightest.

"Don't panic... Today... I shall not die...!!" he declared.

...

Yellow Stone Island, North Blue:

"Oh my God..."

Hawkins' elder sister placed her hand over her mouth in a clearly exaggerated shock on her face.

"What's the matter, Archa-san?" the pale-faced boy beside her, Hawkins, asked.

"Out of all the rising pirates, Admiral Kizaru chose you as the first among the Twelve Supernovas... What kind of divine misfortune is this?" Archa-san said with concern.

"Don't worry... My counterpart in the manga seems quite confident about not dying today."

"So, it doesn't matter whether my luck is bad or good," Little Hawkins said indifferently.

"But... but..."

"He said he won't just die..."

"What if you get captured and sent to Impel Down?"

"If it's really going to be like that, then my manga counterpart won't be sitting comfortably like this."

"Now, Archa-san, let's see what happens next. I'm quite excited."

For the first time in a long while, Hawkins' elder sister saw a different expression on his face instead of indifference.

There was an enthusiastic smile on his face!

"Enemy attack!!!"

"Prepare for assault!!! Ready the cannons!!!"

"Get the cavalry ready!" "Open the gates!!"

"Gunner squad, provide rear support!!" "Lower the drawbridge!!"

"Open the gun ports!! Initiate bombardment!!"

Inside a castle, numerous men were moving about to counter the opposing attack that was taking place on their castle.

That was everyone's assumption, until "the castle" took the shape of a human... It was Capone 'Gang' Bege!

"What!?" "There's something inside his body!!!"

Marine soldiers felt confusion as they witnessed small cannons suddenly emerging from within the man's body.

"Eh!? It got bigg-" The shots from the small cannons grew larger as soon as they left Bege's body. Then... Boom!

"Owaaaahh!!" Followed by the Marines being blown away.

"What!? He's not even doing anything!"

"What's happening!!?"

"Something's coming out of his stomach!!"

"Horses are emerging from his body!!!"

"What kind of power does that man possess!!?"

The Marine soldiers stood in astonishment at this incomprehensible situation... Their foe was harboring an army and weaponry within his body!

"I told you, my military power is greater...!!!" Bege declared after showcasing his abilities.

•———•———•———•———•———•

Returning to Gyangu Island:

"Hahahaha!!! It seems Boss has become serious!"

"Unbelievable! Boss's mastery of the Shiro Shiro no Mi has become impeccable!"

"Bahahaha! Who would dare provoke an army in a single man!!"

"These Marines were shocked, Shahahaha! Look at the astonished expressions on their faces!"

"I told you, my military power is greater! What a strong line, Boss!"

A wide smile appeared on Bege's face as he observed the drastic change in the battlefield...

"This battle has given me the chance to showcase my abilities. Straw Hat did the right thing by punching that Celestial Dragon!"

"Eeeehhhh?!!?" "Boss! But didn't you say the opposite just a few minutes ago?"

"Silence! I didn't say anything!"

"I'm mistaken, Boss. I'm sorry, please don't kill me - Argh!"

After reprimanding the reckless individual, Bege returned to enjoying the manga.

"This is wonderful. It seems the future prospects of the Castle Fruit are not limited to just smuggling weapons and contraband... It can transform a single man into a mobile army..."

"This is amazing!" Seeing how his manga counterpart effortlessly decimated the Marine soldiers provided her with a lot of inspiration.

...

Marineford:

In the main courtyard, within the rear buildings, and even in workplaces, whether on warships or in assembly areas, Marine soldiers were in a state of complete bewilderment.

"What's going on with the peculiar man, Capone 'Gang' Bege?"

"What kind of devil fruit is this unbelievable one?"

"Oh, the shock! I can't even fathom how he could summon a cavalry army from his body!"

"This man is like a fortified fortress!"

"He truly is a castle man!"

…

In the Fleet Admiral's office:

"What in the hell is this! What is Kizaru doing?"

"Even beginners could cause this much damage even with an admiral's arrival!?"

"He's a user of the Castle-Castle Fruit... He truly is the Castle Man... It would be foolish to compete with him in military power."

"Borsalino should move personally to crush him before he inflicts greater harm than this."
