"One Piece" Events:

—————————

"I'll have those women stuffed, and I'll turn those men into slaves with nothing but skin and bones!"

While the Celestial Dragon Rosward was thinking aloud about how he would deal with Luffy and his companions, he didn't notice someone falling directly on his head.

"GYAAAAAAHH!!!" Usopp thought that the pain of the fall was inevitable, so he screamed, but fortunately, he felt nothing but something broken under his butt.

"Father!!!" Princess Sharlia couldn't believe what she was seeing - first her elder brother, and now even her esteemed father being abused by the Strawhat Pirates!

"Ow ow ow…"

"Geh!! Sorry, Mister!" Usopp didn't know the identity of the person he just fell onto, but he knew he had caused a great deal of damage and sincerely apologized. It was an accident, after all, and not intentional.

But in the eyes of the spectators, it didn't matter whether it was intentional or not.

"E... Even Saint Rosward!!!"

"These pirates just dug themselves even deeper!!! They're all insane!!!"

…

"Luffy, where's Caimie!?" asked Usopp.

"Over there!! As soon as we get that bomb off her neck, we're getting out of here. Battleships and an admiral are coming."

Luffy pointed to Caimie, who was in the middle of the stage, before speaking with impatience.

"EEHHH!!?" Usopp felt terror upon hearing that an admiral was coming.

"The Marines are already here, Strawhat." At that moment, a new voice spoke.

"Who are you…? And what's with the bear?" Luffy turned around to see a young man wearing a yellow jacket with black sleeves and tattoos on his hands, along with a spotted hat. However, what caught Luffy's attention the most was the bear behind the man.

"The Marines have been here since the auction started."

"They've surrounded the auction house." Trafalgar Law continued to speak.

"EHH? Really!?" exclaimed Luffy.

"After all, they have a Headquarters right here on this Archipelago."

As Law said, it became evident that there were marines soldiers surrounding the auction house.

"I don't know who they wanted to catch… but I'm sure they never dreamed that someone would actually attack a Tenryuubito."

"You're… Trafalgar Law…!! Luffy, this man is a pirate," said Robin after recognizing Law.

"Fufu… You've shown me something interesting, Strawhats." laughed Trafalgar Law.

"The bear, too?" Luffy was still curious about what was going on with the bear, sitting like a human.

North Blue, Flevance Island:

Trafalgar Law that will be born in this world might be vastly different from the original Law from the manga. The Butterfly Effect has been set into motion, not only affecting Law but also altering the destinies and even the birth times of most characters who appear in the original manga but have not yet been born or are born in this manga era.

This phenomenon occurred due to the direct intervention of Rob and his extraordinary ability to steal the lineage of others and make it his own, guided by the eye of the mangaka who can perceive and correct plot lines. Nevertheless, it is still referred to as The Butterfly Effect, whether the intervention is direct or indirect.

What Rob didn't anticipate was that Chris and Mary would recognize Trafalgar Law as their son the first moment he appeared.

If it weren't for Rob's presence in this world, Law would have already been born by this time, but with Rob's interference, which burdened Chris with significant responsibilities, such as being the president of the Republic, the timing of Law's birth was slightly delayed.

At this moment, the couple was discussing an important topic.

"What do you think happened for our son to choose to become a pirate?" Mary asked her husband anxiously.

"I don't really know, but I'm sure of one thing," Chris replied succinctly.

"What is it?"

"It definitely has to do with Lead Amber... you see, Rob doesn't exist in the manga except as a ghost protecting his daughter Robin from heaven... this means that there is no cure for Amber Lead's disease... then you can expect the worst," Chris explained calmly.

"That's right... I almost forgot about this matter. Law looks completely healthy and devoid of any signs of Amber Lead, so... what might have happened in his past... I really want to know."

Mary no longer cares about the plot or defeating the celestial dragons; all she is interested in is learning more about Trafalgar Law's background.

Even though his fate in real life will certainly be different from what it would have been in the manga, both father and mother still wish to see it.

Little did they know that when the right time comes and they see with their own eyes what they currently desire, they will regret this wish. They will want to rewind time to this point so as not to wish for it, just to avoid seeing it, but no regrets will do them good at that time. Nonetheless, they are fortunate that this is still in the distant future.

"And what's up with the bear?" Just like Luffy was curious, Mary feels the same.

"Hahaha, how would I know?" laughed Chris.

...

Marigoa:

"Very brave... daring to hit a celestial dragon... the last person to have done such a crazy thing was Rocks D. Xebec."

"But the celestial dragon remained vindictive towards him until it caused his death... even someone like Xebec died after provoking a celestial dragon."

"So what do you expect will happen after this? Do not forget that in the world of manga, there is neither Rob nor his organization of hunters..."

"For sure, he will suffer... all his crew will suffer. I don't think they will die, but the consequences of hitting a celestial dragon are something that can already be imagined."

At this moment, the five elders were discussing the current situation in the manga. They never expected to see a celestial dragon being attacked, and even after being declared descendants of the creators of the world, they are still being challenged, first intentionally by Luffy, and then unintentionally by Usopp.

But even so, this did not greatly affect their current mood. Everything became predictable as the events of the manga progressed and accelerated.

Beating a celestial dragon, although unacceptable, is much better than killing one.

"Who do you think the Admirals will send to carry out the punishment?"

At this moment, the voice of the most mysterious woman in this world spoke up.

"I assume Sengoku will send the fastest among them when he hears about the situation, so I bet it will be Borsalino." Saint Nasjuro calmly answered his Lord's question.

"That monkey who ate the light fruit and got the last ranking among the three in the training classes because of his lack of hard work... well, that would be enough to drive them to despair~ I want to see that, fufufu ~" Imu laughed slowly as she continued to turn the pages of the manga.

When she took a look at the old man with glasses who had reappeared and what he had done, she couldn't help but reassess the situation.

According to Garp, this man was a living legend, like Whitebeard. So it is possible that one Borsalino is not enough.

...

Ohara:

"Yohohohoho!!!"

"I have finally arrived at the event venue! Without me, Brook, every reader will feel that something important is missing..."

Brook unabashedly praised himself, but it didn't bother Vegapunk and the others; after all, Brook had some truth in his words.

After all, who's the one who will ask the female celestial dragon to see her underwear and make the whole world burst into laughter? Of course, Brook!

"This celestial dragon wants to kill Caimie!"

"Hey, Brook, do something!"

"Caimie hasn't done anything wrong; she's a cute and innocent mermaid!" Homing was very sad. Every time a celestial dragon does something bad, his identity as one of them comes back to haunt him.

"It seems that both Usopp and Robin and Zoro are already prepared, so there's no need to worry," Clover said with a smile.

"Oh, what happened? Why did she suddenly fall to the ground?"

"What's this tearing up the auction logo? It's old Rayleigh again, and that giant!"

"Hahahaha! Incredible! He sold himself at the human auction for real money!"

"Strong people have some strange fetishes already..."
