Chapter 3 - chapter 3

The air in Alabasta trembled, disturbed by something unnatural, as if the very earth had been disturbed from an ancient slumber. It began subtly, a tremor that crawled beneath the surface of the desert sands, undetected by those who lived in the vibrant cities of the kingdom. But soon, it became more than just a whisper—it was a roar, a deep and unyielding force shaking the world beneath its weight. The ground cracked and splintered as something far older than the kingdom itself began to stir from its grave beneath the sun-bleached dunes.

The first sign that something extraordinary was happening came when a thick, black mist began to rise from the cracks in the earth. It spread rapidly, consuming the horizon like an advancing tide. It was no ordinary mist; its presence was suffocating, its energy felt not just physically but deep in the bones of every living creature. This was the awakening of something ancient, something that had been sealed away for centuries, its existence hidden in the shadows of history.

From deep within the sands of Alabasta, a massive structure began to rise—slowly, methodically, and with an eerie grace. Its appearance was like that of an ancient beast emerging from the ground, its gargantuan form towering over the landscape. As the colossal ship came into view, it became clear what it was: Pluton, the legendary warship thought to be a mere myth, a weapon of unimaginable power capable of wiping entire islands off the map with a single strike. Its obsidian-black surface gleamed under the desert sun, reflecting an aura of death that seemed to emanate from its very core.

At the helm of this ancient titan stood Jazz, the reincarnated soul of Rocks D. Xebec, a man whose name had been lost to the annals of history but whose ambition and rage had never truly been extinguished. He gazed out across the vast, barren expanse of Alabasta as the ship's towering form rose higher, piercing the sky. His golden eyes gleamed with a mixture of pride and fury as the immense power of Pluton settled under his command. This was no longer just a weapon—it was the symbol of his return, the harbinger of the destruction he would bring to the world that had betrayed him.

Jazz's hand gripped the Den Den Mushi tightly, his fingers closing around the device with the cold, unyielding determination that had always been his hallmark. He activated the transmission, and his voice rang out, amplified by the ship's internal systems, echoing across the world.

"The time of your lies is over," Jazz's voice boomed, carrying a weight of centuries, as if the very air quivered in response. "You call yourselves gods, but you are nothing more than parasites clinging to the world. I, Jazz, will burn your empire to the ground and make this world my own. The Pluton has awoken, and with it, so has your reckoning."

The words struck like a thunderclap, reverberating across the globe. Every major city, every isolated island, every quiet village, and every denizen with access to the Den Den Mushi heard his declaration. The world was left in stunned silence. The name Jazz, the figure who had claimed to be the reincarnated Rocks D. Xebec, was now spoken with both fear and reverence. His rise was no longer a distant myth, a story told in hushed whispers. The truth had been revealed: the nightmare of the past had returned, and it was more powerful than ever.

Far away, in the heart of Mariejois, the Five Elders exchanged tense glances as the transmission reached their ears. Their faces were grim as they sat in the cold, pristine chambers of the Holy Land. They had long known of the ancient weapon known as Pluton, but its reemergence, coupled with the resurgence of the man who had once sought to conquer the seas, filled them with a dread they could not suppress.

"We cannot allow this." The words came from Gorosei, the leader of the Five Elders, his voice like gravel in the air. "This is no mere pirate. This is the return of the very force we once fought against—the force we almost lost the world to."

But it was not just the World Government that felt the weight of Jazz's declaration. Marineford, the grand fortress of the Marines, buzzed with activity. Admiral Akainu, a man whose rage was as fiery as the magma that coursed through his veins, stood before a map of the world, his fists clenched in fury. "This man has no right to threaten the balance we've fought for!" he barked, slamming his fist onto the table. His hatred for pirates was absolute, but the threat posed by Jazz—the man who had once stood alongside the greatest pirates in history—was something far more terrifying. He was not simply a pirate; he was a symbol of rebellion, an embodiment of chaos itself.

Meanwhile, on the island of Sabaody Archipelago, the chaos was palpable. The Supernovas, the rising generation of pirates, looked up at the sky as if the world itself had just cracked open. Some whispered of the rise of a new pirate king, while others feared that the storm was too great to survive. The presence of Pluton alone would be enough to shake the foundations of the Grand Line, but Jazz's words were even more chilling. To some, it was a call to action, a declaration that the old guard was finally being overthrown. To others, it was the sound of their own doom.

But for Jazz, none of this mattered. He was no longer a fugitive, no longer a man fleeing from the past. He stood tall, resolute on the deck of his warship, his eyes set on the horizon. There was no turning back now. His plan had been set into motion, and no one—**not the Marines, not the World Government, not even his former comrades—**would be able to stop him.

He had been betrayed once before, but that had only made him stronger. Now, he would be the one to dictate the terms of the world. He would tear down the Celestial Dragons, those false gods who had ruled from the shadows for far too long. He would use the power of Pluton to carve a new order, one where no empire could rise above the others.

Jazz turned toward the towering figure of the warship's command center, where the crew of the Rocks Pirates stood by his side. Their loyalty was unshakable, tempered by the knowledge that this was their last chance to see their captain rise again. The remnants of the Rocks Pirates, those who had survived the betrayal at God's Valley, were now united under his banner once more.

"Prepare yourselves," Jazz spoke, his voice unwavering. "The world is about to change."

The blazing desert sun dipped slowly behind the horizon, casting an orange glow over the expansive sands of Alabasta, where Pluton loomed like a behemoth rising from the bowels of the earth itself. The ancient warship's colossal frame crested above the dusty landscape, a monument to power so immense it felt as if the very foundations of the world trembled beneath its presence. The black, polished hull of Pluton gleamed with a menacing gleam, reflecting the setting sun in sharp, jagged lines, and casting shadows that seemed to stretch across the entire desert like dark fingers reaching toward the heavens. The ship, once thought to be a mere myth, was now alive—an entity unto itself. It thrummed with energy, a silent force waiting to be unleashed, an unyielding harbinger of destruction.

As the last vestiges of daylight vanished and the stars began to emerge in the clear desert sky, Jazz stood at the helm, his hands gripping the wheel of the legendary warship with a fierce, unrelenting force. His golden eyes glinted with an intensity that reflected both the brilliance of the setting sun and the inferno of his long-held rage. Beneath the surface of his calm demeanor, his mind churned with a multitude of thoughts—plans, schemes, and an unshakable resolve that had only deepened since his return.

It had been a long road to this point, one paved with pain, betrayal, and an insatiable thirst for vengeance. But now, standing before the ship he had resurrected from the very bowels of the earth, Jazz knew that the time had come. Pluton was no longer just a weapon—it was the symbol of his return, the manifestation of his ambition and his fury. And as the captain of the Rocks Pirates, he would not waste this opportunity. He would burn the world to its very core and reshape it in his image.

His eyes narrowed, and he inhaled deeply, savoring the crisp desert air. The wind howled around him, carrying the scent of the sands and the taste of destiny. He could feel the weight of history upon his shoulders, the weight of all that had come before him and all that would follow in his wake. The world was on the brink of change, and Jazz was at the center of it.

Behind him, his loyal crew began to stir. The members of the Rocks Pirates, those who had once been betrayed by the very hands they had trusted, now stood united once more under his banner. They had all experienced their own personal tragedies, their own battles for survival, and now, they were bound by a singular cause: to bring an end to the reign of the World Government and its corrupt, insidious rulers—the Celestial Dragons.

Among them stood Niva, the brilliant scientist who had been instrumental in resurrecting Pluton from the depths of the earth. Her dark eyes glinted with a mixture of admiration and uncertainty as she observed Jazz. She had once doubted his motives, questioning whether he was truly the man he claimed to be, but now, as she watched him stand before the resurrected warship, she understood. He was not just a man of ambition—he was a force of nature, a being of incredible willpower whose path was determined by his own sense of justice.

Her voice, soft but laden with concern, broke the silence. "Are you sure this is the right course, Captain?" she asked, her gaze flickering between Jazz and the massive warship. Pluton, she knew, was a weapon of unimaginable power—capable of reducing entire islands to dust with a single strike. She could not deny its potential, nor the strategic advantage it gave them, but there was a deeper, more unsettling question that lingered in the back of her mind. Would Jazz's thirst for revenge consume him completely, leaving no room for the man he once was?

Jazz's gaze turned toward her, his expression unreadable as he absorbed her question. There was a quiet intensity in his eyes, a flicker of something that told Niva all she needed to know. His resolve was unshakable, his mind made up. In that moment, she realized that he was no longer the man she had once known—the man who had been a mere pirate captain, surrounded by a crew of rebels. Now, he was a king in waiting, a man who would stop at nothing to achieve his vision.

He took a slow breath, then spoke, his voice calm but imbued with the weight of centuries. "We no longer have the luxury of doubt, Niva. The time for hesitation is long gone. We must move forward. There is no turning back now."

Niva opened her mouth to respond, but the words caught in her throat. There was no arguing with him—not now. She knew better than anyone that Jazz had always been a man who followed his own path, and if he had decided that this was the only way forward, there was nothing she could do to change his mind. She nodded silently, the gravity of the situation pressing down on her like a heavy stone. There would be no turning back from this, and she could only pray that Jazz knew what he was doing.

With a sharp exhale, Jazz turned back toward the horizon, his golden eyes locking onto the distant outline of Mariejois, the holy city that stood as the beating heart of the World Government. The city was a fortress, an impenetrable stronghold that had withstood centuries of challenges, both from within and without. But Jazz knew that the time had come to tear it down. It was no longer enough to challenge the World Government—he would break its heart and burn its foundation to the ground.

His hand clenched the wheel tighter, his knuckles white with the intensity of his grip. His thoughts flickered to the Five Elders, the shadowy figures who held the reins of the world's power. They were the ones who had masterminded the systematic subjugation of the seas, the ones who had kept the Celestial Dragons in power. They were the ones who had betrayed him all those years ago, casting him aside as if he were nothing more than a pawn in their grand game. Now, they would learn what it meant to cross him. They would learn the true meaning of revenge.

As he considered the steps ahead, a quiet, yet unsettling question crept into his mind: Would the people of the world rise with him? Or would they cower in fear, as they always had under the oppressive rule of the World Government? He had no doubt that many would join him, drawn by the promise of a world free from the tyranny that had dominated for centuries. But there would be those who stood in opposition, those who would fight tooth and nail to preserve the old order. The Celestial Dragons and their allies would not go quietly into the night.

The First Target: Mariejois

With Pluton under his command, Jazz's next move was clear: Mariejois, the sacred city of the Celestial Dragons, where the very air was thick with the weight of centuries of corruption. Jazz had studied the city for years, learning everything he could about its defenses, its vulnerabilities, and its people. Mariejois was not just a fortress; it was a symbol of everything that was wrong with the world. The World Government had crafted the city to be their perfect sanctuary—a place of absolute power, untouched by the struggles of the common man.

But that sense of invulnerability was about to come crashing down.

Jazz gathered his most trusted officers, those who had stood by his side through the years of war and betrayal. Silverblade, his first mate, stood at the table with a map spread out before him. His eyes scanned the terrain of Mariejois, studying the intricate details of the fortress's defenses.

"The city is well-defended," Silverblade said, his voice steady and analytical. "But we have something they don't. We have the element of surprise, and more importantly, we have Pluton. The question is, how do we strike at their heart without losing momentum?"

Jazz's gaze remained fixed on the map, his fingers tracing the lines of the city's defenses. "We'll strike at their foundation. We don't need to destroy the entire city—not yet. What we need is to cripple their power. Take out their communication systems, their command structures, and their elite forces. Once they're on the back foot, we'll move in for the kill."

Shira, the deadly swordswoman whose name was feared across the seas, nodded in agreement, her hand resting on the hilt of her blade. "The Celestial Dragons may believe themselves untouchable, but they've forgotten one thing—they're only as strong as the men who serve them. And once we break their will, they'll fall just like anyone else."

Jazz's lips curled into a grim smile. "Exactly. This isn't just about an attack; it's about breaking their spirit. Once we shatter their belief in their own invincibility, the rest will fall in line."

The strategy was set. The countdown to Mariejois had begun.

A World Shattered

As the Leviathan sailed toward its destination, the air aboard the ship was thick with anticipation. The Rocks Pirates knew that their moment had come. This would not be an easy battle—it would be a fight for the soul of the world itself. The outcome of this battle would determine whether the World Government would remain a dominating force or whether it would crumble beneath the weight of the revolution.

For Jazz, the journey to Mariejois was more than just a battle—it was the culmination of a lifetime of suffering, loss, and betrayal. The flames of his past had forged him into a weapon, and now, those flames would burn brighter than ever before. He had returned to change the world—and nothing, not even the might of the World Government, would stand in his way.

The sea stretched endlessly before them, a vast, uncharted expanse that separated the Leviathan from its target: Mariejois. With every passing wave, the distance between the Rocks Pirates and the heart of the World Government seemed to narrow. The crew's resolve had solidified as they drew nearer, the anticipation of battle thick in the air. The ship's massive sails flapped violently in the wind, each gust carrying the scent of coming destruction.

The crew moved with a purpose, their every action infused with an intensity that only the most dangerous pirates in the world could understand. But it was their captain, Jazz, who commanded the scene—his presence loomed like a dark cloud on the horizon, casting a shadow over the ship that made even the bravest men pause. He was no longer just a pirate captain—he was a force of nature, a harbinger of upheaval whose name would soon be whispered in fear across the seas.

Jazz stood at the ship's helm, the wind whipping his long hair as he gazed out at the horizon, his golden eyes alight with fury and determination. Pluton loomed behind him, its menacing form casting an enormous shadow over the entire ship. The sight of it sent a chill down the spines of even the hardiest members of the crew. This was no ordinary ship; it was a weapon of unimaginable power, and it was under their command.

"The time has come," Jazz muttered, more to himself than to anyone else. His fingers drummed against the ship's wheel, his mind working with a cold, calculated precision. There was no room for mistakes. He had planned this moment down to the smallest detail, but even he knew that the world they were about to shake might fight back with every ounce of its might.

Behind him, Silverblade, the ever-loyal first mate, approached. His calm expression and razor-sharp focus were a stark contrast to the chaos that swirled within Jazz's mind. The seasoned swordsman knew that his captain had a single-minded determination, but even he couldn't ignore the looming enormity of their mission.

"Captain," Silverblade said, his voice steady but carrying a sense of anticipation. "What's our first move once we land?"

Jazz turned to face his first mate, his golden eyes flashing with a mixture of cold fury and dark amusement. "We move fast. The first blow needs to be a psychological one. I want them to feel the walls closing in around them before they even see us."

Silverblade nodded, his expression hardening. He knew exactly what Jazz meant. Mariejois was the heart of the World Government's power—a sacred city, home to the Celestial Dragons and the most powerful political figures in the world. The city was a fortress, and its defenses were formidable. But it was also a symbol of everything Jazz despised: corruption, arrogance, and a system built on oppression.

They were going to tear it all down.

---

The City of Gods

Mariejois sat upon a vast, impossibly tall mountain, its spires reaching for the heavens like the hands of gods demanding worship. The city was a testament to the grandeur and excesses of the Celestial Dragons, whose rule had spanned centuries. The streets were paved with gold, the buildings decorated with jewels, and the air itself seemed to shimmer with the weight of ancient wealth.

Yet for all its beauty, the city reeked of arrogance. The Celestial Dragons had always believed themselves untouchable, shielded from the world by the strength of their armies and the loyalty of the World Government. They had lived for so long in their ivory tower that they had forgotten the common man. They had forgotten the power of those they trampled beneath their feet.

But they were about to learn.

---

The Approach

As the Leviathan drew closer to Mariejois, Jazz stood at the bow of the ship, his gaze fixed on the city far in the distance. The Pluton was positioned behind him, ready for battle. The massive warship's immense size made it impossible for anyone to ignore. It was a symbol of destruction, and Jazz was going to make sure the World Government knew exactly what it represented.

The crew worked swiftly, readying themselves for the assault. Shira, the deadly swordswoman, sharpened her blade, her face cold and detached as always. Niva, the scientist, continued making adjustments to the ship's systems, her eyes darting from one screen to another as she double-checked the technology that powered Pluton. Big Mom and Kaido, two of Jazz's most trusted and feared officers, stood on the deck, their monstrous forms exuding an air of terrifying strength.

"We're about to make history," Jazz said, his voice low but filled with an unshakable confidence.

The crew responded in kind, a chorus of murmurs, nods, and excited grins. Their captain had led them to this point, and they knew that this battle would change the world.

---

Infiltrating the Bastion

The battle began in the dead of night, under the cover of darkness. Jazz's plan was simple yet devastating: create a diversion strong enough to draw the World Government's forces away from the city's heart and then strike at their weakest point. The Rocks Pirates were experts in chaos, and chaos was exactly what they would bring to Mariejois.

The Leviathan approached the city under the cover of night, moving silently through the sea like a ghost. The winds howled as they neared the shores of Mariejois, and the massive warship slowly turned toward the cliffs that led up to the gates of the city.

In the distance, the first signs of the World Government's forces began to stir. The city's patrols were already on high alert, and the Marines stationed throughout the area were mobilizing. But Jazz's crew was ready.

As the Leviathan drew closer, Pluton's immense cannon turrets began to glow with a deadly light, the energy coursing through its ancient systems. A series of explosions erupted in the distance, creating a massive cloud of smoke that obscured their movements. Jazz grinned, his fingers tightening around the wheel. This was the moment they had been waiting for.

"Move out!" Jazz roared, his voice carrying over the ship.

In an instant, the Rocks Pirates sprang into action. Shira and Silverblade led the charge, darting across the ship's deck and leaping into the shadows of the city. Big Mom and Kaido, their monstrous forms a terrifying sight, followed behind, crushing anything in their path.

Jazz was at the front, his eyes gleaming with the fury of a storm. The time for words was over. It was time to bring down the walls of this godforsaken city.

---

The Siege

The initial strike was swift, precise, and brutal. The World Government's forces scrambled to respond to the onslaught, but they were too slow. Pluton's cannons unleashed a barrage of destruction, tearing apart the defensive walls that had once been considered impenetrable. The shockwaves reverberated across the city, shaking its very foundation.

Shira cleaved through the Marines with ruthless efficiency, her blade cutting through the air with deadly precision. Silverblade was at her side, his own swords flashing as he carved a path of destruction through the ranks of the World Government soldiers. The streets of Mariejois ran red with the blood of those who had once believed they were untouchable.

Inside the city, the Celestial Dragons were thrown into chaos. They had spent so long in their ivory tower, surrounded by layers of protection and self-imposed divinity, that they were now utterly unprepared for the force that had come to tear down their world. They screamed in terror as Jazz and his crew closed in on them. The Five Elders, the shadowy figures who controlled the world from behind the scenes, were nowhere to be found. They had underestimated the power of the revolution.

---

The Heart of the Beast

Jazz, moving with terrifying purpose, made his way toward the heart of the city, where the Celestial Dragons resided. The city's once-pristine streets were now littered with the wreckage of its defenses, the remnants of those who had dared to stand in the way of his revolution.

He entered the main hall of the Celestial Dragons' palace, his eyes sweeping over the opulent surroundings. The walls were adorned with golden statues and intricate tapestries, a testament to the arrogance of those who had ruled the world for centuries. But none of it mattered now. It was all going to burn.

As Jazz entered the throne room, the Celestial Dragons cowered before him, their faces twisted in fear. "Please, spare us!" one of them cried, his voice shaking with panic. "We are gods! We control the world! You can't defeat us!"

Jazz's lips curled into a cold smile. "You were gods—until I came along."

With a single motion, he raised his hand, and the ground beneath them shook. The battle was far from over, but the first victory had been won. The World Government's fortress had been breached, and the world would never be the same again.

---

The Revolution Unleashed

As the city burned around him, Jazz stood tall, a figure of wrath and destiny. The revolution had begun. And there would be no turning back. The World Government would fall. The Celestial Dragons would fall. And the world would be reborn in the flames of his vengeance. The cries of the Celestial Dragons echoed through the halls of their once-glorious palace, but Jazz paid them no heed. His golden eyes flickered with cold fury as he watched their feeble attempts to escape the inevitable. The city around them was in flames, the streets drenched in the blood of their soldiers. The very foundation of Mariejois—a bastion that had stood for centuries as the pinnacle of the World Government's power—was crumbling beneath the onslaught of the Rocks Pirates.

Jazz's heart hammered with the rhythm of war, each beat a reminder of everything he had suffered, everything he had lost, and everything he intended to take. The years of betrayal, the years of burning hatred, had led him to this moment. This was not just a battle for power; it was a war to rewrite the very history of the world.

"You're gods, right?" Jazz's voice was low, cutting through the chaos like a knife. He turned his eyes toward the trembling figures of the Celestial Dragons, their faces twisted in fear, their clothes stained with the sweat and terror of men who had lived too long in their gilded cage. "Then it's time for you to face your punishment, your reckoning."

One of the Celestial Dragons, a man whose pudgy face and garish attire spoke of a life lived in luxury, stumbled backward. His trembling hand clutched at the ornate scepter that marked his title. "We are the rulers of this world! You cannot defeat us!" His voice cracked, panic seeping through every syllable. "The Marines will come! The Five Elders—"

"The Marines are already here," Jazz interrupted, his voice now carrying a dark, almost predatory edge. "And they're already dead."

The Celestial Dragon's eyes widened in disbelief as a sudden explosion rocked the palace. The very walls trembled with the force of Pluton's devastating barrage, the shockwaves reverberating through the stone foundation of the palace. The magnificent structure, which had been designed to withstand the tests of time and war, was no match for the wrath of Pluton.

The Rocks Pirates had already penetrated the deepest layers of Mariejois. They had breached the outermost defenses within minutes of landing, tearing apart the World Government's soldiers, crushing anything in their path. But the true heart of their attack had been aimed at the Celestial Dragons, those so-called "gods" who ruled with an iron fist and whose arrogance had blinded them to the coming storm.

Jazz's lips curled into a cruel smile. "Your time is over." His voice was a quiet promise, but it held the weight of a hundred years of vengeance.

Before the Celestial Dragon could respond, Shira appeared behind Jazz, her sword gleaming with deadly intent. She had already cut through the bulk of the palace's elite guards with ruthless precision. Her eyes, cold and calculating, flickered toward Jazz. She knew what came next—this was the culmination of their plan. The end of an era.

Jazz raised his hand, and Shira's blade flashed forward. In one swift motion, she severed the head of the trembling Celestial Dragon standing before them. His body fell to the ground with a sickening thud, and his scepter rolled from his limp fingers, clattering to the cold marble floor. The others looked on in horror, frozen in disbelief as their world unraveled around them.

"Do you see now?" Jazz's voice rang out again, louder, more commanding this time. "You are nothing. You were never gods. You were just parasites, feeding off the lives of others."

The remaining Celestial Dragons shrieked in terror, but it was too late. Pluton's bombardment continued, the sound of its cannons filling the air with the promise of more destruction. The once-pristine halls of their palace were now a labyrinth of rubble, fire, and blood. The walls that had separated the elite from the common people had been shattered, and there was nowhere left to run.

In the distance, the battle raged on outside the palace gates. Silverblade and Big Mom led the charge, tearing through the remaining forces of the World Government with an unstoppable ferocity. But Jazz was focused solely on the endgame. This city, this symbol of oppression, would fall. And with it, the entire world would be forced to reckon with his fury.

---

A New Dawn

As the final Celestial Dragon fell to the ground, his body crumpling like a ragdoll beneath the weight of his own decadence, Jazz stood motionless for a long moment. He didn't revel in the kill, nor did he allow himself any satisfaction. This was not about personal glory. It was about rewriting history.

Behind him, the world of Mariejois burned. The palace that had once stood as a fortress, impenetrable and unshakable, was now nothing more than a pile of ruins. Pluton's cannons had reduced much of the city to ash, and the earth itself seemed to quake beneath the force of the destruction. It was an unsettling sight, but to Jazz, it was the beginning of something far greater.

"It's done, Captain," Niva's voice broke through the haze of smoke that now filled the throne room. She had joined them, her eyes dark with the weight of what had just transpired. It wasn't just a victory—it was the beginning of a revolution, one that would change the face of the world forever.

Jazz's gaze shifted toward her, his expression unreadable. "Is it?"

The scientist, still uneasy despite the overwhelming success, raised an eyebrow. "We've destroyed their foundation, killed their leaders, and crippled their defenses." She paused. "The rest of the world will see what we've done. There will be no hiding it. The revolution is here."

Jazz nodded slowly, a grim smile curling at the corners of his lips. "This is just the beginning. They'll know our names soon enough. They'll know who did this. Who tore down the gods and rebuilt the world in our image."

The World Watches

Across the seas, the world was already beginning to take notice. The World Government had relied on the myth of invincibility for so long that they had allowed themselves to grow complacent. Now, that myth had been shattered, and there would be no recovery. News of the Rocks Pirates' attack on Mariejois spread like wildfire. From the New World to the Grand Line, from East Blue to South Blue, people everywhere began to realize that a new power had risen, one that would not be bound by the oppressive systems of old.

Even as the Celestial Dragons' blood stained the floors of their palace, other factions and powers across the seas were watching, waiting for the ripples of this monumental event to reach their shores. The Marines, the Revolutionary Army, and the scattered pirate crews that had once feared the might of the World Government all began to stir.

Jazz knew that they would come for him. But he was ready. He had spent years preparing for this moment. His strength, his resolve, and the strength of his crew would carry them through the coming storms.

The world was already changing. And Jazz was its new king.

---

The Future Rewritten

As the sun began to rise over the wreckage of Mariejois, a new dawn broke for the world. The Celestial Dragons were no more. The Five Elders had been struck down. The fortress that had held the World Government at its peak of power lay in ruins.

Jazz stood atop the rubble, looking out over the land he had conquered. His hand rested on the hilt of his sword, his mind already turning toward the future. The battle was far from over. There were still those who would rise to challenge him. But they would be fools to underestimate him.

This was his world now.

And he would reshape it in his image. The sound of waves crashing against the rocks was almost soothing, but the storm that had erupted in the wake of the destruction of Mariejois was far from over. Jazz stood alone at the bow of the Leviathan, his eyes fixed on the horizon, which had already begun to shimmer with the first light of dawn. The battle had been won, but the war was just beginning. The world was a powder keg, ready to explode, and he was the match.

The news of his assault on the World Government's heart had spread like wildfire. Every corner of the world was now aware of the Rocks Pirates, the force that had torn down the gods of the sea. Mariejois, the pinnacle of human power, was no more. In its place stood only ruin, a warning to those who dared to sit atop the world and call themselves rulers.

Jazz's heart beat with a grim rhythm, the pulse of a man who had crossed a line from which there was no return. He could feel the weight of his decisions pressing down on him. There was no turning back from this. He had already started to rewrite the world, but the hardest part—controlling the ashes and rebuilding in his image—was still to come.

The Leviathan's crew had scattered across the ship, each member taking time to reflect on what had just occurred. Some celebrated, others kept to themselves, their faces grim with the knowledge that the storm they had unleashed would not soon abate.

Jazz's eyes narrowed as he stared at the horizon. He was not blind to the implications of his actions. The World Government would not lie down and accept defeat. They would strike back, and they would do so with everything they had. But Jazz had anticipated this. His rise had not been without planning. The pieces were in motion, and he knew the enemy would come—but he was prepared.

He turned as a shadow fell across his path. Silverblade, his ever-loyal first mate, approached, his usual calm demeanor unwavering despite the monumental events that had just transpired.

"Captain," Silverblade began, his voice steady, "We've received reports from our scouts. The world is in chaos. The Marine forces are regrouping, but they're fragmented. The Revolutionary Army is moving faster than expected. They've already begun to capitalize on the void we've left behind."

Jazz glanced at Silverblade, his expression unreadable. "I expected nothing less."

Silverblade continued, his tone more urgent now. "We've also received word that the Five Elders are still alive. They've retreated to their secret strongholds. The Marines are planning to rally around them, but they're scattered, vulnerable."

Jazz nodded slowly, his mind calculating. "They'll try to rebuild, but they're on the backfoot. They'll strike at anyone who gets too close, but they won't have the power to fight back in full force. We've shaken their foundation, but it's still standing. For now."

Silverblade's gaze darkened. "What do we do next?"

Jazz's golden eyes burned with a cold fire. "Next? We take the fight to them."

---

The Revolutionary Surge

As the Leviathan sailed through the Grand Line, news continued to spread of the Rocks Pirates' assault on Mariejois. The once-feared fortress of the Celestial Dragons was now nothing more than a charred husk, and the world had taken notice. From the farthest reaches of the East Blue to the dangerous waters of the New World, every kingdom, every pirate crew, and every faction had heard the name Jazz.

The Revolutionary Army, always seeking to dismantle the power of the World Government, had been quick to react. Monkey D. Dragon, the enigmatic leader of the revolutionaries, saw the destruction of Mariejois as both a challenge and an opportunity. The Celestial Dragons had been the cornerstone of the World Government's rule, and their fall signaled a shift in the balance of power.

Dragon was not one to act rashly, but even he knew that the time had come for the revolutionaries to take action. His spies had reported on the devastation wrought by Jazz and the Rocks Pirates, and he knew that this new, unpredictable force would be both an ally and a threat. The World Government was reeling, but its retaliation would come swiftly, and the revolutionaries had to be ready.

"Dragon," one of his officers said as they gathered in a hidden cave, deep within the forests of the East Blue, "We've intercepted communications from the Five Elders. They're already making preparations for counterattacks. The Marines have been dispatched across the seas to restore order, but the Rocks Pirates are still a threat. Jazz has no intentions of stopping."

Dragon's expression remained impassive, but his eyes gleamed with a quiet resolve. "I know. This is the beginning of a new era. The World Government will retaliate, but they are weakened. We must act before they can regroup. Their leaders may still be alive, but they are vulnerable. Now is our chance to strike."

He turned to his officers. "We move quickly. We will capitalize on the chaos. The revolution is now."

The Call to Arms

As Jazz continued his journey, the tides of war began to shift. His actions had not gone unnoticed by the most powerful figures of the world. The Five Elders, though scattered, were working feverishly to reclaim control, their messages sent through secret channels to loyal officers in the Marines, pirates, and even corrupt nations. The World Government would not go down without a fight. But they had made a fatal mistake—underestimating the power of a man who had already risen from the ashes once before.

Jazz understood the game he was playing. He had not only fought to destroy the power of the World Government; he was fighting for dominance in a world that was now in turmoil. And in this new world, he would not allow anyone—whether it be the Revolutionary Army, the Marines, or any other faction—to challenge his authority.

"We need to solidify our control," Jazz said, his voice cutting through the chatter of his crew. "If the Five Elders are still alive, they'll regroup. They'll have support from their loyal forces, but they'll also have enemies. We need to be in a position to dictate the next move."

Silverblade, ever the strategist, nodded in agreement. "And we will. We've already made powerful enemies, but we've also made powerful allies. The sea is full of chaos now. We need to take advantage of that."

Jazz's eyes narrowed, and he turned to face the horizon once more. "The revolution will continue, whether we're in charge or not. The power struggle will define this world. But I will not let the World Government rise again. And I will not let the Revolutionary Army claim victory before me. The world will bend to my will, or it will burn."

The Gathering Storm

With Mariejois now in ruins, Jazz and the Rocks Pirates sailed onward, their presence a looming threat to the remaining forces of the World Government. They knew that the final phase of their conquest was fast approaching. Every move they made, every alliance they formed, and every battle they fought would determine the future of the world.

The Five Elders, now retreating into the shadows, were gathering their forces to launch a counteroffensive. The Marines were spreading out, reinforcing key locations to stave off the inevitable uprising. Even as the Rocks Pirates made their mark on the world, they knew that every step would be contested. And so, they prepared for war.

As Jazz looked toward the future, he understood that the stakes had never been higher. The world was in chaos, and the lines between allies and enemies were growing increasingly blurred. The question was no longer if he could achieve his goal—it was whether he could hold onto it once he had it.

This was his war now.

And he would stop at nothing to claim the world as his own.

The cold winds of the New World whipped through the sails of the Leviathan, carrying with them the scent of salt and the promise of conflict. The Rocks Pirates sailed onward, but the air was thick with tension. What had once been a force of terror—swift and unstoppable—now found itself navigating an uncertain world. The battle for control was not over. In fact, it was just beginning.

Jazz stood on the deck, his hand gripping the railing tightly as he stared out at the horizon, watching the vast sea stretch endlessly before him. The oceans had always been a place of chaos, but now, it seemed even the sea itself had turned against him. The winds carried whispers of the World Government's retaliation, the Revolutionary Army's movements, and even the rumors of rising pirate factions. Everyone had seen the fall of Mariejois, but now they were waiting to see who would step forward to seize the power left in the vacuum.

His eyes narrowed, a flicker of unease passing through his golden gaze. The tides of history were shifting in unpredictable ways. He had burned Mariejois to the ground, shattered the false gods who ruled the seas. Yet, there was no sense of finality, no assurance that his reign would endure. Jazz knew that power was fragile, easily lost to those who underestimated the chaos they had unleashed.

"Captain, we've received word from the front lines," Silverblade's voice broke through his thoughts, calm and steady as always. The first mate stood at attention, his usual implacable expression hiding the worry beneath. He had known Jazz long enough to understand the weight of the task ahead. "The World Government is in disarray, but they are not finished. The Five Elders are making their move. We've intercepted reports that they've activated the Marine Admirals. They're rallying their forces at a secret location, preparing to strike back."

Jazz turned to face his first mate, his expression cold, almost calculating. "I knew they wouldn't lie down and die without a fight."

"They won't," Silverblade continued, his eyes narrowing, "But the Revolutionary Army is also on the move. The World Government's weakness is their opportunity. They've begun seizing power in key territories. They're gaining ground—faster than anticipated. If we don't act quickly, they could win over the common people who are now in an uproar. You've seen how the Revolutionary Army operates—they capitalize on chaos and instability. The people will flock to their banner if we don't move first."**

Jazz's lips curled into a slight smile, a dangerous glint flickering in his golden eyes. "Then we'll give them something to fear. The Revolutionary Army is no different from the World Government in the end. They want to reshape the world according to their ideals. I'm not interested in ideals—I'm interested in power. And I will take that power from their hands, just as I've taken it from the Celestial Dragons."

Silverblade nodded grimly. "Understood."

The Black Flag

The Rocks Pirates had no intention of being a passing storm. They were the heralds of something far greater. Jazz, with his newfound strength and ruthlessness, understood the nature of power better than anyone else. In this new world, there were no rules—only those strong enough to enforce their will. And Jazz's will was clear: to rule.

The ship cut through the waters with brutal force, a symbol of defiance to those who dared to stand in his way. As they neared the New World, the crew prepared for what lay ahead. Jazz knew the time for subtlety was over. It was time for the world to know who held the true reins of power.

"We will set a course for the Revolutionary Army's territories," Jazz declared to his crew, his voice carrying an undeniable authority. "The World Government is weak, but they're not finished. We'll crush their last stronghold, and in the chaos, we'll take everything for ourselves. We'll show the world the true meaning of power."

The crew stood at attention, the same fire that had driven them through the chaos of Mariejois now burning bright. Big Mom, ever hungry for dominance, grinned as she cracked her knuckles. Silverblade nodded silently, his focus unwavering. Even the more cautious members of the crew—like Shira—could not ignore the intensity of Jazz's words. This was the moment they had been waiting for, and there was no turning back.

The Revolutionary's Gambit

Elsewhere, far to the north, the Revolutionary Army was already making their move. Monkey D. Dragon, always a man of calculated restraint, understood the importance of timing. The fall of Mariejois had been a blow to the World Government, but it had also opened a door to a world that was now up for grabs. The revolutionaries were not foolish—they knew that in the ashes of the old world, new powers would rise. And one of those powers was Jazz.

Dragon had watched the chaos unfold, and he knew that the Rocks Pirates would not be content with the wreckage. Jazz was no ordinary pirate, no mere destroyer. He was a force, a man with the ambition and cunning to claim the title of king. Dragon understood the risks of allying with someone like him. But the alternative was allowing Jazz to carve a path of destruction and chaos that would consume everything in its wake.

"He'll be our greatest threat or our greatest ally," Dragon murmured as he looked at the maps spread before him. His eyes were fixed on the territories the Revolutionary Army controlled, knowing that their next move had to be decisive. "We cannot let the Rocks Pirates gain any more ground. If they defeat the World Government, they'll set their sights on the revolution itself. But we also cannot stand idly by and let them become a threat we cannot control."

He turned to his trusted officer, Koala. "Prepare a strike force. We must act before Jazz makes his move. We need to gather as many resources as we can and strike quickly. The World Government is weak now, but it will come back, and when it does, we must be ready."

Koala nodded. "Understood, Commander. We'll move out immediately."

A Collision Course

As the Rocks Pirates sailed deeper into the New World, they grew closer to the territories controlled by the Revolutionary Army. Jazz was keenly aware of the storm that was brewing. The tension between his forces and those of the Revolutionary Army was palpable. Both factions were maneuvering for control, but neither side was fully prepared for the coming confrontation. Jazz had no illusions about the nature of revolutionaries—while they were opponents of the World Government, they were still pawns in the larger game of power.

And Jazz was the player who intended to claim the throne.

His mind raced with strategies. The Revolutionary Army was strong, but it was not unified. It was filled with idealists, men and women who believed in freedom, but who lacked the singular focus that Jazz had developed. He had seen the world's true nature: only those with unyielding strength could shape the world in their image. The revolutionaries, with their ideals of freedom, were doomed to fail because they failed to understand this simple truth.

Jazz had no time for idealism. His revolution would be built on blood and iron, and he would ensure that no one—not the World Government, not the Revolutionary Army, and not any other faction—could stop him.

The First Strike

The Rocks Pirates arrived at the first of the Revolutionary Army's strongholds. The island was a place of untamed jungles and jagged cliffs, a haven for revolutionaries seeking to strike back at the World Government. But it was also vulnerable, hidden beneath the cloak of secrecy.

"This is where it begins," Jazz whispered to himself, his gaze fixed on the shoreline ahead. The stage was set. The Revolutionary Army had no idea that the Rocks Pirates were approaching, and Jazz intended to keep it that way.

With a series of swift maneuvers, the Leviathan dropped anchor off the coast. The crew, battle-ready and eager for the coming fight, moved quickly into position. Jazz's plan was simple: strike fast, strike hard, and leave no survivors. The sun hung low on the horizon, casting a golden hue over the jagged cliffs of the island. Jazz stood at the bow of the Leviathan, his gaze piercing through the veil of morning mist that enveloped the land ahead. The island was a strategic stronghold of the Revolutionary Army, a bastion of resistance against the World Government's tyranny. But in his mind, it was nothing more than an obstacle. One that he would erase to pave the way for his ultimate conquest of the world.

The wind ruffled his hair, and he could hear the distant roar of waves crashing against the shore, as though the ocean itself was preparing for the violence that was about to unfold. Jazz's hand tightened around the hilt of his sword, the weight of his responsibility settling in his chest. This was no longer just about revenge—it was about rewriting the very fabric of the world. The Revolutionary Army might have once seemed like a natural ally against the World Government, but to Jazz, they were simply another faction standing in the way of his vision.

As the Leviathan approached the island, the crew gathered, each one knowing that a brutal confrontation was imminent. Silverblade, his first mate, was already at his side, his eyes scanning the coastline, calculating the distance and the number of potential threats.

"Captain," Silverblade spoke, his voice low but carrying the weight of authority, "We've confirmed the location of the Revolutionary base. It's heavily guarded, but we can break through their defenses. The key will be striking fast and overwhelming them before they can organize a proper response."

Jazz's golden eyes gleamed with cold resolve. "We'll hit them where they least expect it. If they're focused on defending against the World Government, they won't be prepared for us."

Silverblade nodded. "Understood. The crew is ready."

Jazz turned toward the deck, his voice carrying across the ship as he addressed his crew. "Prepare for battle. We strike at dawn. We take no prisoners. The Revolutionary Army wants to change the world with their ideals, but they fail to see the truth. Only those who can seize power by force will ever shape the future. Today, we begin the next phase of our conquest. The world will bend to my will, or it will burn."

A roar of approval rippled through the crew. Big Mom, her massive form looming at the edge of the ship, cracked her knuckles with a smile, her hunger for chaos reflected in her eyes. The rest of the crew, from the fiercest warriors to the more calculating strategists, were ready to follow Jazz into the coming battle.

As the ship anchored in the bay, the crew swiftly disembarked, forming ranks and preparing for the assault. The island was quiet, the only sounds those of nature. The Revolutionary Army would not expect the Rocks Pirates to strike so swiftly, so suddenly. But that was the advantage of Jazz's unpredictability.

The Revolutionary Response

At the heart of the island, deep within the dense jungle, the main base of the Revolutionary Army lay hidden. The revolutionaries had long used the island as a safe haven, a place where they could regroup and plan their next moves against the World Government. The Five Elders were still reeling from the destruction of Mariejois, and the revolutionaries had seized upon this opportunity, expanding their influence in regions that had long been under the control of the World Government.

But now, there was a new threat.

"Captain Dragon," one of Dragon's officers spoke urgently as they watched the horizon from the edge of the base. "We've spotted a large fleet approaching. It's not the World Government—it's the Rocks Pirates!"

Dragon's face remained calm, his usual stoic expression unchanging. He had seen many battles, had weathered many storms, but this was different. Jazz, the reincarnation of the feared Rocks D. Xebec, had not only destroyed Mariejois, but he was now marching across the world, leaving destruction in his wake. The Rocks Pirates were a force unlike any Dragon had ever encountered—ruthless, cunning, and relentless.

"Prepare the defenses," Dragon ordered, his voice steady. "We will not be caught off guard. This is the moment we've been preparing for. If we fall here, everything we've fought for will be lost. The world will fall into the hands of Jazz and his pirates. We will not allow that to happen."

The officers rushed to their posts, coordinating the defense of the base. The revolutionaries were well-trained, but even they could feel the gravity of the situation. The Rocks Pirates had already proven their might with the destruction of Mariejois, and now they were coming for the heart of the revolution.

The Clash

The jungle was dense, its thick canopy of trees offering little visibility to the advancing Rocks Pirates. But Jazz did not need the element of surprise. He thrived in chaos. As the pirates marched forward, they tore through the underbrush, their footsteps thunderous as they approached the revolutionary base.

"Get ready," Jazz commanded, his voice low and commanding. "We make our mark here. Let's make them remember who controls the seas."

The sound of battle rang out as the two forces collided. The Revolutionary Army, though fierce and determined, was no match for the brutal strength and ferocity of the Rocks Pirates. Big Mom tore through the enemy ranks, her overwhelming power devastating anyone who stood in her way. Silverblade, swift and deadly, cut down revolutionaries with ruthless precision. The chaos of battle erupted in the jungle as the pirates advanced, unstoppable and overwhelming.

In the heart of the conflict, Jazz led the charge. His golden eyes gleamed with an unyielding determination as he cut through the revolutionary forces. He moved like a force of nature, his strikes landing with the power of a thunderstorm. His blade cleaved through his enemies, each movement deliberate, each strike a symbol of the power he sought to wield.

At the base of the island, Dragon watched the chaos unfold from a distance, his mind racing. This was a battle unlike any he had fought before. The Rocks Pirates were not just pirates—they were a new kind of force, one that could reshape the very foundations of the world. He could not allow Jazz to win, but the odds were stacked against him.

"We must take him down," Dragon muttered, his eyes burning with intensity. "The world cannot be allowed to fall into his hands."

He turned to his most trusted officers. "We fight for the future. For freedom. This battle will define the world. Let us make sure we are the ones who define it."

---

The Turning Point

As the battle raged on, the Rocks Pirates began to overpower the Revolutionary Army. The revolutionaries fought valiantly, but their efforts were in vain. Jazz's forces were simply too strong, too brutal, and too well-organized. The jungle, once a place of refuge for the revolutionaries, had become their tomb.

In the midst of the carnage, Jazz locked eyes with Dragon for the first time. The two men stood across the battlefield, each representing the polar opposite of the other's vision for the world. Dragon, the idealist, the man who believed in freedom above all else, and Jazz, the ruthless conqueror who sought to bend the world to his will.

For a moment, the world seemed to pause. The roar of battle faded into the background as the two men stared at each other, their fates intertwined.

"You're too late," Jazz sneered, his voice cutting through the tension. "The world is mine. It always has been. And now, it's only a matter of time before you and your revolution are crushed beneath my boot."

Dragon's eyes burned with determination. "Not if I can help it, Jazz. The world will never be ruled by someone like you."

With a fierce battle cry, Dragon surged forward, his forces rallying behind him. But Jazz, ever the strategist, was already one step ahead. The jungle was ablaze with the flames of war. The ground beneath the feet of the Rocks Pirates was slick with the blood of the fallen, both revolutionary and pirate alike. The towering trees that had once stood as silent sentinels now lay shattered, their branches twisted and broken by the ferocity of the battle. The air itself was thick with the scent of gunpowder, sweat, and iron, and it seemed as though the very earth trembled beneath the crushing weight of the conflict.

Jazz stood at the forefront of his crew, a looming figure amidst the chaos. His eyes, cold and unyielding, were fixed on the battlefield before him. The Revolutionary Army had put up a valiant fight, but they were nothing more than an obstacle now—an obstacle that would soon be erased, like so many before them. His grip tightened on his sword, the steel gleaming in the fading light of the jungle.

"Keep pushing forward!" Jazz roared, his voice cutting through the noise like a thunderclap. His crew, battle-hardened and ruthless, responded with a resounding cheer. They were the embodiment of his will, and their loyalty was unwavering. Together, they were unstoppable.

At his side, Silverblade moved with lethal precision, his katana dancing through the air as he cut down revolutionary soldiers with ease. Big Mom, towering over the battlefield, crushed anything in her path with the sheer force of her monstrous strength. Each pirate was a weapon, a tool of destruction honed by Jazz's vision of domination.

Yet, amidst the mayhem, Jazz's mind was focused solely on one thing: the final confrontation with Dragon.

A Man of Ideals

Deep within the heart of the battlefield, Dragon stood, his body bloodied but unbroken. His eyes burned with the fire of revolution, but there was no denying the weight of the situation. He had seen many battles, fought many wars, but this—this was different. This was a war for the soul of the world.

He had known the cost of his ideals. He had known the sacrifices, the bloodshed, and the countless lives lost in the name of freedom. But he had never faced an enemy like Jazz. The man before him was not a typical pirate. He was a force of nature, a conqueror who had already shattered the foundations of the world. His ambition was as boundless as the sea itself, and he would stop at nothing to see his vision realized.

"So, this is what it's come to," Dragon muttered under his breath, his gaze fixed on the advancing Rocks Pirates. "The world is on the brink of destruction, and the only ones who will survive are those strong enough to seize power. But I cannot let someone like him claim the throne."

With a heavy heart, Dragon turned to his officers. "Prepare the final line of defense. We will not allow the Rocks Pirates to take this island. We fight for the future of the world. We fight for freedom."

The officers nodded, each one filled with the same unwavering determination that had driven them to take up arms against the World Government in the first place. They had seen the injustices of the world, and they had pledged to change it. But standing before them now was a man who sought to impose his own vision of order on a world that was already crumbling.

"We won't back down," Dragon declared, his voice steady. "No matter the cost."

The Clash of Titans

The two forces, the Rocks Pirates and the Revolutionary Army, had converged at the heart of the island. The jungle had been cleared, the trees felled by the overwhelming power of the pirates. The air was thick with the sound of clashing steel, the cries of battle ringing through the air as the two sides fought for supremacy.

Jazz and Dragon finally came face-to-face, standing on the blood-soaked ground, their eyes locking in a battle of wills. The world seemed to hold its breath as the two men stared each other down.

"So, you're the one they call Dragon," Jazz said, his voice dripping with disdain. "The so-called leader of the revolutionaries. A man who believes in freedom, in changing the world with ideals. How quaint. But let me tell you something, Dragon—ideals are meaningless. The world isn't shaped by dreams or hopes. It's shaped by power. And right now, I have the power to reshape everything."

Dragon's expression remained calm, but his eyes narrowed. "You're wrong, Jazz. Power without purpose is nothing. What you seek is nothing more than a tyranny of your own making. The world cannot be ruled by fear and force alone."

Jazz's lips curled into a cruel smile. "I don't need your ideals. I'll take the world, piece by piece, until it belongs to me. And then, everyone will bow to my will."

Without warning, Jazz lunged forward, his sword cutting through the air with deadly precision. Dragon, with his lightning-fast reflexes, barely managed to dodge the blow, his body twisting to the side as Jazz's blade sliced through the air where he had stood only moments before.

"You're fast, Dragon, I'll give you that," Jazz said, his voice cold. "But it won't be enough."

Dragon's eyes flickered with determination. "I don't need speed to defeat you, Jazz. I fight for something greater."

He raised his hand, his Revolutionary Army soldiers rallying behind him. With a single command, they surged forward, surrounding the Rocks Pirates in a desperate bid to overwhelm them. But Jazz, with a savage grin, raised his sword high, rallying his own crew.

"Let's show them what true power looks like!" he roared.

The battle erupted into chaos once more. The clash between the two forces was deafening, the ground trembling beneath the sheer power of their strikes. Jazz cut through the ranks of the Revolutionary Army like a hot knife through butter, his movements fluid and unstoppable. Big Mom, with her monstrous strength, tore through enemy lines, sending revolutionaries flying with each devastating punch. Silverblade moved like a shadow, his katana slashing through anyone who dared to oppose him.

But despite the overwhelming power of the Rocks Pirates, Dragon and his revolutionaries fought on. The fight was far from over.

---

The Turning Point

As the battle raged on, Jazz found himself locked in a fierce duel with Dragon. The two men clashed again and again, their swords meeting with a thunderous crash. Each strike from Jazz was filled with the power of a thousand storms, his rage and ambition fueling his every move. But Dragon fought with the strength of conviction, each parry and counterstrike reflecting his unshakable belief in the cause he fought for.

For a moment, it seemed as though neither side would yield. The battle was at a stalemate, and both Jazz and Dragon knew that the outcome of this clash would decide the fate of the world.

But then, in a moment of sheer brilliance, Jazz saw his opening. With a sudden, brutal twist, he disarmed Dragon, sending the leader of the Revolutionary Army to the ground.

"It's over, Dragon," Jazz said, his voice cold as he raised his blade. "You lost. The world belongs to me now."

But as Jazz raised his sword, ready to deliver the final blow, he hesitated. For just a moment, he saw something in Dragon's eyes—a flicker of defiance, a spark of something that was not yet extinguished.

And in that moment, Jazz realized that the fight was not over. The battle for the world's future was only just beginning.
