Qin King, Ying Zheng!
Asura of the Blood Eyes, Uchiha Madara!
These two names spread across the world in an instant, echoing throughout every corner of the Grand Line. People were shocked by the sudden emergence of these top-tier experts and admired their courage, having the audacity and strength to confront the Marines head-on.
The World Government has stood for hundreds of years, accumulating unfathomable foundations. The Marines are its vanguard, the strongest military force in the world.
And now, there appeared peerless experts who not only showed no fear toward the Celestial Dragons (Tenryuubito), but even raised their swords directly at the Marines!
People were not only shocked but also incredibly curious:
What kind of men are they?
And what kind of future awaits the newly risen Qin's Nation?
Faced with the colossal powers of the Marines and the World Government, how could such a small faction possibly resist the inevitable clash?
…
In the New World, aboard the Moby Dick, Whitebeard flipped through the two wanted posters, his eyes deep and solemn as he sighed.
"I really want to see for myself what kind of men they are!"
He had first heard of Madara's name in the newspapers, but now, from the wanted posters, he saw the man's face for the first time.
Cold. Proud. Dominating. Disdainful.
These traits instantly weighed heavily on Whitebeard's heart.
This was a man who massacred Celestial Dragons, caused massive upheaval, fought two Admirals back-to-back, and defeated them in a single strike. He even faced the Fleet Admiral and the Marine Hero Vice-Admiral Garp and survived.
Even across the vast sea, Whitebeard could feel the pressure of this man's power.
And faintly, Whitebeard had a premonition, He would soon meet these two men face-to-face.
"Come soon, while I'm still not too old... while I can still swing my blade!"
…
Mariejois, the World Government,
"Sengoku, I need you to explain the cause and course of this incident. The impact is far too great. You should understand this, Sengoku." An elderly man in sunglasses spoke in a cold voice to Sengoku's projected image.
When the Five Elders (Gorōsei) first heard of the incident at the Sabaody Archipelago, they were initially shocked, then fell into silence. After hundreds of years, someone had once again dared to raise a blade against the Celestial Dragons.
As descendants of the original twenty kings, the Celestial Dragons had always stood at the pinnacle of society, protected and revered by the world. To ordinary people, each one of them was like a god-king.
But now, such an event had occurred. A clear signal that their authority was weakening. It was a very bad sign, both for the World Government and for the Five Elders.
"I understand," Sengoku replied solemnly. "That's why I'm here to seek your instructions on how to proceed."
"There's no need to ask," Another elder replied.
This one sat cross-legged with a long sword resting on his knees, his gaze sharp and cold.
"On this matter, all five of us are in complete agreement with you. Suppress this trend immediately and swiftly, no matter the cost!"
At Marine Headquarters, Sengoku's expression grew even more serious as he heard their response.
"Understood."
The projection cut off.
"Qin's Nation… is it the resurgence of those old remnants?"
"No, it doesn't seem to be. Their behavior, speech, names, and abilities don't align with what we know of the D. clan."
"According to Kizaru's report, it seems… they may have come from another world!"
"That's troublesome. Could the legendary 'other world' truly exist?"
"It's very possible. Otherwise, how do you explain their unique warships and the sudden appearance of such powerful individuals?"
The five elders spoke one after another. In front of them, the table was piled high with thick documents detailing everything known about Qin Yi. After carefully reviewing it all, the Five Elders came to a unanimous conclusion: Qin Yi and Qin's Nation are extraordinarily dangerous.
"Let Sengoku make the first move; if he can eliminate them, all the better. If not, then the situation will become dire."
"We mustn't act rashly. Let's wait and see."
A low, solemn voice echoed, and then silence followed.
…
At the same time, the message reached Amazon Lily, known to the outside world as the Land of Women.
"Such a man... such a man... there's actually such a man in this world! Truly... I am completely captivated by him!"
A mesmerizing voice rang out. A tall woman with long legs, fair skin, and a face beautiful enough to enchant thousands of men was holding two bounty posters, murmuring to herself.
"Qin's Nation… No, I must go see him. A man like this, I have to see with my own eyes!"
The woman stood up, having made a decision. But that decision startled the women around her.
"Hancock, don't be impulsive. Remember, you're now a Shichibukai, you're aligned with the Marines. Making contact with them on your own will do neither us nor you any good. At that point, the Marines will treat us as enemies, and everyone on this island will face disaster." Elder Nyon said gravely.
But Boa Hancock's expression was firm.
"No, I must go! They are my saviors. To just sit here and do nothing would be far too rude! I want to thank them in person!"
With that, Hancock ignored everyone's attempts to stop her and strode boldly toward the island's shore. The Gorgon Sisters exchanged glances, then quickly followed her out. Elder Nyon, anxious and flustered, trailed behind but couldn't catch up.
"You're going to ruin everything! Don't act so rashly!"
Three days later, in the first half of the Grand Line, a suffocatingly tense atmosphere could be felt hanging over the sea. That tension carried an immense, chilling killing intent that made countless pirate crews shudder in fear.
Even though the sea looked calm and the sunlight was pleasant, there was a strange, cold aura in the air that made one's skin crawl.
The Young Pirates, a rookie pirate crew that had just entered the Grand Line, were currently sailing in the waters near Mock Town.
"Captain Young, up ahead is Mock Town. That little town has tons of pirates with bounties in the tens of millions, some even over 100 million. We'll need to be very careful once we arrive."
A crewmember warned the man standing at the bow of the ship, Captain Young.
"You're right. That town really is dangerous."
"Mock Town is a place where vicious pirates gather in the Grand Line. Here, bloodshed and violence happen all the time, even the Marines don't want to mess with it."
Wearing a captain's hat, Young nodded solemnly.
He took the town seriously. His own bounty was only 30 million. Back in the South Blue, that might have meant something, but here, he was just another face in the crowd.
One careless mistake could mean death for him and his entire crew.
"Once we reach Mock Town, remember: be extremely careful. Don't go around saying the wrong thing and offending the wrong people."
"Watch more, speak less!"
Young reminded them once again.
Before long, the pirate ship sailed forward, drawing closer to Mock Town.
Just as they were about to reach the legendary town, the eyes of Young and the others on board suddenly widened in shock.
"What is that?!"
