In the year 1510 of the Sea Calendar, the special medicine developed by Michael completely eradicated Amber lead disease from the world.
Not long after, the now-grown siblings Trafalgar Law and Trafalgar Lami officially joined the SWORD Special Forces, receiving training under the guidance of Hawkeye and Enel.
...
That same year, the World Government, in collaboration with the Celestial Dragons, dispatched a highly skilled covert team to infiltrate the Four Seas with the mission to assassinate the ever-active "Revolutionary Flame" Ginny and the "Hand of Liberation" Kuma.
The Celestial Dragons had an additional demand for the team—capture Ginny alive.
They intended to make the so-called "Revolutionary Flame" a "shared wife" among the Celestial Dragons, humiliating the audacious woman who dared challenge their rule.
Though the request was unreasonable, given that Mary Geoise had already lost all its slaves, the World Government reluctantly agreed.
On an island in the East Blue, the team successfully encountered Ginny.
After suffering over half their forces dead or wounded, they were on the verge of capturing her using Seastone weapons when...
The "Hand of Liberation" descended.
Rumors say the entire island trembled with the roar of an honest man—
"What the hell are you doing to someone else's wife, you bastards?!"
The elite squad met their end—annihilated in the East Blue.
...
Tom, Iceberg, and Franky completed the construction of the first sea train.
Water Seven's economy began to recover, and pirates aiming for the New World increasingly turned their attention here...
A good ship made all the difference.
However, due to its proximity to Enies Lobby and the fearsome reputations of "Ship Cutter" T-Bone and "Rust Tide" Shu, even pirates coming to Water Seven for ships had to obediently pay and wait their turn...
This made Water Seven's shipbuilding companies increasingly wealthy.
Investments and construction for the remaining three sea trains also accelerated.
...
Sea Calendar 1511, Minion Island.
Through Michael's entrapment tactics, former Marine captain and now-pirate Barrels was captured by the Marines after delivering the Op-Op Fruit and sent to Impel Down.
His son, X Drake, sought refuge and fled to the Seraphim Ship.
Michael brought him back to the Marines, where he, along with Trafalgar Law and Trafalgar Lami, officially enlisted as new recruits.
Trafalgar Law consumed the Op-Op Fruit.
...
That same year, Who's Who of CP9, one of its strongest agents, claimed to rival the prodigy Rob Lucci.
As part of his duties, he was assigned to escort the Gum-Gum Fruit.
However, they were intercepted by one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, "Red Hair" Shanks.
Unable to withstand Shanks' overwhelming power, the Gum-Gum Fruit was taken.
Later, due to his mission failure, Who's Who was thrown into Impel Down.
After seizing the Gum-Gum Fruit, Shanks had his crew rest on a deserted island in the North Blue before heading alone to the Cross Guild in the Grand Line.
After that, the legendary Gum-Gum Fruit disappeared without a trace.
A week later, while Luffy was running wild at Marineford, he found a strange fruit and ate it without hesitation.
...
As the empress of Amazon Lily and a Marine captain, Boa Hancock gradually rose to prominence on the high seas, capturing numerous pirates with bounties exceeding tens of millions of berries.
Among them, the highest bounty she claimed was a staggering 96 million berries.
Due to her beauty, she was hailed as the 'World's Most Beautiful Woman'.
However, dark forces within the Cross Guild also issued a bounty for Boa Hancock—three hundred million berries, with the condition that she be captured alive.
Yet, this bounty was revoked within three days of its announcement.
The reason?
"The issuer died suddenly, and it was discovered there weren't enough funds to pay the bounty."
Following this incident, the World Government began frequently approaching Boa Hancock, offering substantial rewards in an attempt to recruit her into the 'Regional Justice Faction'.
Following Michael's advice, Boa Hancock played along, accepted all the gifts, but never actually complied with their demands.
...
In the latter half of 1511, Sanji took advantage of Sengoku, Garp, and the other old-timers' inattention and sneaked off to a restaurant on Sabaody Archipelago, becoming a kitchen apprentice…
He had passed all the pre-cooking assessments, only to fail at the final dish presentation.
"Every step was correct, so why is the result so wrong?"
This was the final verdict from food critic Mordon Ramsay, who, considering Sanji was still a child, forcibly swallowed a long string of curses.
Despite this brutal critique, Sanji refused to give up on his dream…
Only to be dragged back to Marineford by Garp, who grabbed him by the scruff of his neck.
...
That same year, five-year-old Vivi snuck out of Alabasta's royal palace for an "adventure" and ended up hiding in the back of a Marine transport turtle's carriage, hitching a ride to the golden city deep in the desert.
After the Marines left, Vivi slipped into the city from another entrance.
But before long, she was spotted by the tamed 'Lord of the Skies' Nora, who mistook her for an intruder…
Fortunately, Crocodile happened to be visiting the golden city that day, sent by Vegapunk to collect high-purity gold for new scientific equipment.
At the critical moment, Crocodile used her Logia powers to save the unlucky child with her golden hook.
This was Vivi's first meeting with her aunt.
Not long after, Vivi told Cobra that she wanted to become a Marine like her aunt when she grew up.
Furious, Cobra sent dozens of angry letters to Crocodile, accusing her of trying to lure his daughter—the princess of Alabasta—away!
But none of the letters received a reply, leaving Cobra to stew in his own frustration.
...
The sisters Monet and Sugar were rescued by Michael while drifting through the Grand Line and later sent to a Revolutionary Army orphanage in the Four Blues.
After it was discovered that both sisters were Devil Fruit Users, they were personally taken under the wing of the "Revolutionary Flame" and the "Hand of Liberation."
...
In 1512, Bonney, the daughter of the "Revolutionary Flame" Ginny and the "Hand of Liberation" Kuma, was born.
Ace, Sabo, and Luffy, along with Ichiji, Niji, Sanji, and Yonji, stood on the rooftop of Marineford, drinking a bowl of sake to symbolize their sworn brotherhood.
Then, Rouge dragged each of them home by the ear.
...
The Sun Pirates encountered Koala and returned her to her hometown.
Although ambushed, due to their fish-man heritage and ties to the Ryugu Kingdom, Admiral "Kizaru" Borsalino had no choice but to send them to Impel Down.
However, the World Government, eager to reestablish cooperation with the Ryugu Kingdom, immediately sent the Sun Pirates back to Fish-Man Island.
Even Borsalino, with his usual indifferent attitude, was so furious that he couldn't eat for three days.
