The explosions continued in Onigashima as the battles intensified. Luffy was facing Kaido in his beast forms so far, while both flame users' explosions clashed against each other. Meanwhile, Yamato and Lucy were taking Big Mom to the rooftop of the island, where they would have a more open fight against the strongest woman in the world.
Intense flashes lit up the sky as red and purple flames exploded in the confrontation between Kaido's dragon form and Monkey D. Luffy's Ifrit.
Even the people of Wano, not only those living along the country's coast but also those further inland—in Kuri, Udon, Ringo, Hakumai, the Flower Capital, and even Kibi without the mountain in front—could see the sky glowing in the distance. Many put their hands together in prayer.
"Please, deliver us from the Beast Pirates!"
"Save Wano from the evil dragon!"
"Protect our loved ones!"
"May they return in glory!"
"May Wano be freed once and for all!"
These were the prayers of the citizens all over Wano, worried about their brothers, children, fathers, and mothers who might be caught in that infernal battle, while they hoped for the Straw Hats' victory without knowing exactly what was happening there. The explosions continued to echo across the island as Onigashima entered a brutal battle, despite the fact that the only fight visible to them was the clash of the Yonkou.
Meanwhile, not only the people of Wano were watching the fight from a distance. Outside Onigashima, below the waterfalls surrounding the country, a group of eight ships was sailing at sea level beneath Wano, hidden among the peaks surrounding the island, observing from afar with telescopes and Den Den Mushi recording the situation.
The symbol on the ships indicated that they belonged to the World Government. On board, several agents dressed in black suits kept their eyes on the explosions visible even from a distance.
"Reporting! The battle has begun! The Straw Hats are fighting Big Mom and Kaido's pirates in Onigashima!" said one agent, speaking through a Den Den Mushi.
"Understood," replied a cold, authoritative voice from the other end of the line, belonging to an elderly man. He continued, "I want all CP0 agents present to advance to Onigashima. I need detailed information on everything that's happening in real-time."
The masked CP0 agents on board the ships simply nodded in silence. They left the ships, swiftly advancing toward Wano's territory, soaring through the skies using Geppo.
"Report any new developments!" ordered the voice on the Den Den Mushi.
"Yes, sir! We will report any updates," the agent responded before ending the transmission.
Back in Mary Geoise, in the open hall of Pangaea Castle, the Five Elders were following the situation through the recently disconnected Den Den Mushi.
One of the Gorosei was observing a map with a pensive expression. There were more Den Den Mushi on the table, all monitoring the situation.
"The battle has been ongoing for only a few minutes, but it seems they've already gone to full-scale war," one of them remarked. The Den Den Mushi footage from the ship showed the scene above Wano. Although Onigashima itself wasn't visible, beyond the waterfall and the large peak of Wano, the explosions were a clear sign that the fight had begun.
"It seems the Straw Hats advanced through the sky quite efficiently. That cursed power of that Akuma no Mi…" one of them muttered, dissatisfied. After all, the Fuwa Fuwa no Mi was one of the fruits that had caused them the most trouble, especially when combined with the mind of Monkey D. Luffy, who knew how to use it skillfully despite the fruit belonging to one of his subordinates.
"Kaido didn't even bother to place ships in Wano's sea. That's allowing our agents to sail with ease and get a good view before the main force arrives," another Elder commented, looking at the nighttime image as black clouds seemed to begin gathering above Wano.
"What should we do now? Shall we begin?" another Elder asked.
"We should summon a meeting with all the kings of the world. I believe it's time to start… before the main spectacle," another one suggested.
"Yes." The third of them nodded. "We can already start discussing the most important topics, and soon they will witness the true power of the World Government."
Wasting no time, one of them picked up the golden Den Den Mushi. "I want you to summon all the kings for an emergency meeting!" he said.
"Yes-yes!" the voice on the other side immediately responded.
"We are about to witness the future of the World Government, but I still want to know what we should do about other matters... After all, we have some intruders in Mary Geoise, and two admirals are away... Kizaru cannot handle everything alone," Saint Marcus Mars said.
"We'll deploy the Holy Knights. The majority of them are stationed here," Saint Shepherd Ju Peter suggested, and the others nodded in agreement. After all, there were pests trying to bite them, and they were too concerned with the Yonkou battle to deal with them now. The order was immediately passed along through another Den Den Mushi.
The kings were surprised by another call during the Reverie, as they had been discussing some matters over the past few days, but nothing of significant importance. The discussions mainly revolved around economics and some Marine affairs, without any major revelations.
Garp stood at the entrance of the Queen of Goa's room in one of the castles, ensuring that nothing happened to her during her stay.
Everything seemed normal until they were summoned to the meeting by government officials, bringing an order from the Gorosei for an almost emergency gathering.
"A meeting so suddenly..." Makino said as she stepped out after dressing, putting on a crown and a robe, her curiosity evident as she looked at Garp.
"It seems so... something must be happening," Garp murmured with a narrowed gaze.
"And I was just about to sleep!" Dadan grumbled, also stepping out from the room next door.
"Stop complaining; we must obey the request," Woop Slap said as he approached.
"Hm? Queen Makino! It's good to see you here already; we can go together," Ban Dedessinée, another queen from East Blue, said as Makino smiled warmly.
"Of course, Queen Dedessinée. We can go together," Makino replied politely, and both made their way out with their guards, advisors, and the Marines, including Garp, accompanying them.
"Garp..." As they reached the meeting place, Garp saw his apprentice standing there. Coby appeared calm, but Garp noticed his hand clenching repeatedly.
"Coby..." Garp murmured, allowing the queens to pass first as he looked at his apprentice with a sigh, already understanding why he was so frustrated.
"This isn't right... Vice Admiral Garp... it shouldn't be like this..." Coby murmured, and Garp was taken aback as he saw Coby starting to cry.
"Sorry about this..." Garp darkened his expression, placing a hand on Coby's shoulder.
"We are supposed to represent justice, Vice Admiral Garp... Why are we just standing by and watching this?! This isn't why I joined the Marines!" Coby lifted his gaze, and with no one else around, the pink-haired boy revealed a face distorted with tears, clearly deeply affected.
Coby could hear the voices of Mary Geoise through his Haki. The loudest thoughts didn't come from the Tenryuubito showing off their collections of objects, but from the slaves — those inside the cells of the mansions and those beneath Mary Geoise, working tirelessly to keep the city functioning. They pushed levers with all their strength, like the one that had lifted them from the port below the Red Line.
Their pain echoed in Coby's mind, a trauma painfully similar to what he had experienced during the Marineford War. He hated being there, hearing the suffering of thousands of slaves as they screamed in pain and despair. Even when they weren't being abused or punished, an overwhelming emptiness consumed their minds, making Coby want to flee, to no longer hear it. He was filled with fear, anger, and confusion. His feelings for the Marines had always been pure — he wanted to be a hero. But now he found himself serving people like the Tenryuubito and the World Government, knowing that the Marines were merely their subordinates.
"I know what you mean, Coby... I want you to endure a little longer. We can talk about this later, but for now, there's nothing we can do against it. Maybe not yet. So I want you to go rest. I'll handle things alone, understood?" Garp said, his voice steady.
"Alright, Vice Admiral Garp..." he murmured, and Garp began to walk away, leaving Coby behind.
Garp reached Pangaea Castle a moment later, as the kings were continuously entering to attend the meeting.
He did not enter the hall. Inside, the kings were seated around a round table, with the Gorosei waiting for each one to take their place.
"Well, let's begin the meeting. I called you here to start the most important session of this Reverie. Most likely, there won't be another one," Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro announced, drawing the attention of all the rulers.
"What could be so important that we had to be summoned in the middle of the night?" one of the kings asked openly, clearly displeased.
"That will be explained shortly. For now, let's start with a few important topics," another Elder spoke, and the kings refrained from further questioning. After all, they all knew they were beneath these four men, believing that the fifth Elder had died, consumed by the comet after the events of Marineford. Unbeknownst to them, Saint Jaygarcia Saturn was still in the room, checking the Den Den Mushi and the images being received from the eight ships, preparing to inform the others before transmitting it to all the kings present at the meeting.
"I want all of you to look at the papers we've placed at each of your seats," Saint Topman Warcury instructed, and the kings picked up the sheets, pulling out the first blank page to reveal the second, which displayed the faces of seven individuals.
"This..." All the kings were taken aback.
"Why are we seeing the Seven Warlords of the Sea?" someone questioned.
"This will be the first topic. As you all know, after several incidents, such as those in Alabasta and Dressrosa—whose representatives, by the way, are not present here—we've decided to settle this matter once and for all. Therefore, I am announcing the government's decision to abolish the Shichibukai system. Not only that, but we will also be hunting down all former official members of the program," Saint Shepherd Ju Peter declared, catching everyone by surprise with such a sudden announcement during a late-night meeting.
Meanwhile, Saint Jaygarcia Saturn continued watching the images calmly until he noticed some men moving strangely toward the rear of one of the ships, with the camera still pointed at Wano.
"There's someone approaching on a small boat!" they reported in the video.
"Who is it? No matter, destroy the boat!" someone else ordered.
Immediately, cannonballs were fired from all the ships, but Saint Jaygarcia Saturn could no longer see what was happening.
"What?! He's still approaching!" the agents exclaimed.
"Sir!!" a Den Den Mushi on the table rang, catching the Gorosei's attention as they waited to hear the report.
"We are under attack! Someone is coming—" the agent didn't finish his sentence before the Den Den Mushi lost connection. Simultaneously, the video feed cut out as the transmitting Den Den Mushi went offline. Clearly, all the Den Den Mushi on the ships had been destroyed at once.
"Could it be that they've discovered us?" one of the Gorosei asked in surprise.
At the same time, amidst the sea of wreckage, the waters were littered with pieces of destroyed ships, while a small boat sailed calmly through the debris.
"Government pests... so be it... They've all been destroyed, and now I can finally head toward the battle as well... I've been waiting to fight you, Monkey D. Luffy..." the older voice spoke with a firm tone as the figure approached Wano.
He was an unexpected player in the middle of the war, but powerful enough to rival the strongest. His destination was the rooftop of Onigashima.
