When Jovian arrived at the hall where Ace and Yamato's decisive battle had taken place, what he saw was Ace collapsed on the ground and Yamato panting heavily.
"Ace, I'm sorry!"
Yamato stood in front of Ace with her kanabo in hand and apologized to him.
"Looks like this battle is already over."
Jovian looked at Yamato and Ace, whose victory and defeat had been decided, and nodded lightly. His body floated into the air, and he arrived beside Ace and Yamato.
"That was too despicable…"
Ace lay on the ground, constantly gasping for breath, feeling that Jovian's actions were shameless.
"War isn't about pursuing right or wrong."
"What it really decides is victory and defeat."
"Ace, you're still too naive…"
Jovian floated above Ace's head, explaining to Ace the principles of this world.
"Ace, I originally thought you would have matured a lot after fighting Blackbeard. Unfortunately, it seems I was overthinking it."
"You haven't grown in the slightest. That really is disappointing."
"And the price of disappointing me is this. Ace, it looks like your good days are over."
"I'll have you locked up. But don't worry. Your dear friend Sabo has been locked up by me as well."
Jovian floated in the air and smiled at Ace.
"You bastard…"
Ace was furious, but right now he no longer had the strength to fight. This was already his limit.
"Arrest him."
Jovian gave the final order. After he spoke, his figure disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Sorry about this."
After receiving Jovian's order, Gion took out a pair of handcuffs and directly locked them onto Ace.
"Jovian, I'll get out…"
"I'll definitely get out…"
Ace kept shouting at Jovian, but Jovian paid him no mind at all.
Even if Ace could get out of Impel Down, what would it matter?
By the time Ace really got out of Impel Down, his and Yamato's child would already be running all over the place.
"Hahaha…"
Thinking of this, Jovian laughed disdainfully. He did not take Ace's words seriously at all.
At the same time…
Following the clues obtained by CP0, Sakazuki also found Silvers Rayleigh, the Dark King, who was hiding deep in the mountains while teaching King Luffy.
"I really didn't expect you to come all the way here, Rayleigh."
Sakazuki wore a white suit. Facing the Pirate King's vice captain, the man known as the Dark King, a title that shared its name with one of the three Ancient Weapons, Pluton, Sakazuki showed no carelessness whatsoever.
"I didn't expect that even after hiding all the way out here, you would still find me…"
"Is the World Government trying to wipe out old men like us too?"
Rayleigh held a metal flask in his hand. Facing the current Fleet Admiral of the Marines, Rayleigh seemed to have already made a decision in his heart. If he were still in his prime, then even against Sakazuki, he would have been confident that the outcome was uncertain. But fighting Sakazuki in his current condition, to be honest, he had no confidence. It was just like what the world's strongest man, Whitebeard, Edward Newgate, had said at Marineford. No one in this world could remain the strongest forever. A new era would rise, and the old era would slowly fade away. Whether it was him, Whitebeard, or Kaido, people who bore the titles of the strong would ultimately become nothing more than stepping stones for the new era.
"Glug, glug…"
Sakazuki's body suddenly began to burn. Scorching magma spread across his body, then across the forest and the lonely island. In the blink of an eye, the island transformed into a sea of magma. The entire island became Sakazuki's domain.
"Then let's fight."
Rayleigh drew an ordinary iron sword. He gripped the iron sword in both hands and entered an intense battle with Sakazuki.
"Boom!"
For a time, sand and stones flew everywhere, and Haki scattered in every direction.
That battle lasted for a full week.
In the end, the aged Rayleigh exhausted his stamina and was punched through the body by Sakazuki.
"Huff…"
"Huff…"
Sakazuki, who had defeated Rayleigh, was also covered in wounds. His body was full of scars. These scars were carved into his flesh and would accompany him for the rest of his life. Ever since Sakazuki had eaten the Magu Magu no Mi and gained the power of a Logia, he no longer remembered how long it had been since scars had appeared on his body.
"You really were vigorous despite your age."
"If you had been a few decades younger, the outcome might not have been certain. But war has never been fair, and the words 'what if' absolutely do not exist in this world."
After dealing with Rayleigh, Sakazuki spread his Observation Haki across the island. Not long afterward, he found his target, Monkey D. Luffy, the grandson of Monkey D. Garp.
"Originally, I would have killed you…"
"After all, an existence like you would greatly shake the World Government's rule."
"And you would shake the safety of the Four Blues even more."
"But now, it no longer matters."
Sakazuki looked at Luffy and shook his head. Originally, he had planned to kill Luffy directly. This child, who had inherited the blood of the Monkey family, had enormous influence over the peace of the seas. But now it no longer mattered, because there was no longer anyone in this world who possessed the power to shake the seas.
"The world is at peace…"
Sakazuki looked at the slowly rising sun. He sat on the island and let out a breath. His long-standing goal of bringing peace to the entire world was about to be realized. The pirates would soon be completely rounded up by him.
One week later, inside Impel Down…
Impel Down had originally only had six levels, but at Jovian's request, and with help from the fish-men craftsmen, a seventh and eighth level had been added.
The powerful prisoners who had originally been held on the sixth level were also given a more detailed classification. Those who were clearly stronger than the others were sent into even deeper prison levels.
Level Eight of the prison…
Bullet, who had lost an arm and an eye, with a massive scar across his abdomen, had Sea-Prism Stone chains wrapped around his body. A half-smoked cigarette hung from his mouth. After going around in circles for so many days, he had fucking returned to this damn dark room again. Only this time, he did not feel bored, because the person imprisoned across from him was the man known as the strongest creature on land, sea, and air.
"You just wait. I'm going to kill you…"
Bullet looked at Kaido in the prison across from him and shouted loudly.
"If you dare come over, I'll kill you."
Kaido's attitude was very calm. He was not afraid of Bullet's threat at all. He had not feared that idiot across from him even when Bullet was at his peak, let alone now.
"Mama, mama…"
"You idiots. You're all idiots beyond saving."
Charlotte Linlin angrily cursed Bullet and Kaido. In her eyes, everyone should be thinking of a way to get out of this place first, not fighting among themselves.
"Too noisy…"
Dracule Mihawk, the former world's greatest swordsman who had lost his right hand after the Summit War, flipped through a newspaper in his hand, seemingly reading news from the outside. Ever since these bastards had been locked up here, this place had never been quiet.
"Hahaha. Try to look on the bright side."
In the neighboring cell, Shanks, whose legs had both been cut off by Jovian, still maintained an optimistic attitude. Yes, the Red-Haired man whom everyone had thought had died during the Summit War had survived with great difficulty. With all his internal organs damaged and three of his four limbs gone, he had still stubbornly lived on. It had to be said that the strong fighters of the pirate world all had incredibly powerful vitality.
"Whew…"
In the next cell over was Ben Beckman, who had also been captured. Then there was the newly captured Dragon. Aside from them, there were also several top-tier fighters who had not been killed. They all clung stubbornly to life. And in the very center of Level Eight, in the position that symbolized the king of all evil, the person imprisoned was a man with blue hair and a red nose.
"What the hell did I do to deserve being locked up with this bunch of monsters?"
The red-nosed man looked at the monsters around him, whose bounties were casually three or four billion berries, and sank into deep thought.
"Buggy, try to look on the bright side."
Shanks seemed to notice something and smiled at Buggy.
"It's all your fault, Red Hair! It's because of you that I got locked up in this monster concentration camp. I want to get out!"
Buggy was furious, but there was nothing he could do.
Level Seven…
This place held the strongest people on the seas below the Emperors themselves. It was the prison level for the All-Star-level figures of Emperor crews, as well as most of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
"Fuffuffuffuffu…"
"I'm finally not in the same room as those monsters…"
Unlike Level Eight, where each person had their own room, most of the cells here were shared by two or three people.
Doflamingo had finally obtained freedom, freedom from the world of being bullied by the Emperors of the Sea. It was just that the people sharing his room were King the Conflagration and Katakuri, so it seemed the bullying had not come to an end after all.
Jack, Cracker, and Sabo shared one room.
Queen, Marco, and Ace shared one room.
Crocodile and Luffy shared one room.
As for the original Level Six, it had become the detention area for the many officers of the Emperor crews. People like Page One and Oven, officers with bounties of around three or four hundred million berries, were imprisoned in this area. This was to prevent these pirates from affecting the other prisoners.
Impel Down's original defenses were also strengthened under Jovian's instructions. On the Marine warships above Impel Down, at Jovian's request, ten Marine vice admirals would be stationed there permanently, ready to launch a Buster Call on Impel Down at any time.
The government also gave Warden Magellan the golden Den Den Mushi needed to launch a Buster Call.
Sakazuki, who had originally planned to move to the New World, returned to Paradise. He vigorously rebuilt the original Marineford, while the New World was handed over to Kuzan and the enormous Marine Justice Fortress in Wano Country.
With both the New World and Paradise being controlled at once, the number of pirates on these seas decreased continuously for a time.
The Holy Land of Mary Geoise…
Jovian drove away all the Celestial Dragons here. This place was left only for him and his adorable harem to create happiness together.
Time flew by.
When the population of the entire Holy Land surged and countless young women in Amazon Lily somehow became pregnant, time in the entire One Piece world seemed to freeze.
"I see…"
In the infinite universe, Jovian, who was constantly advancing toward a massive world, seemed to sense something. He paused for a moment, then stretched his hand toward the One Piece world where his avatar existed within the infinite universe.
Within the endless river of spacetime…
A giant pair of scissors cut toward the child named Momonosuke.
With a soft snip, Momonosuke became Kozuki Momoko.
"After all, I'm not some demon. I wouldn't target a little brat like you, right? So Momonosuke, just relax and live as a girl from now on."
In the unseen depths of reality, an endless will of the Great Dao pronounced judgment on Momonosuke. From now on, there would only be Kozuki Momoko in this world, not Kozuki Momonosuke.
Within the endless universe…
As Jovian continued invading these universes, his countless thoughts spread into countless worlds.
Among these many thoughts, not all of them awakened at the first possible moment. Some awakened relatively late.
The Kingdom of Fiore…
Inside a guild where many powerful mages gathered, a man known as a good-natured pushover suddenly opened his eyes.
"So I've been cleaning the Fairy Tail guild's toilets for almost twenty years?"
"What the hell is this…"
Jovian looked at the broom in his hand, the corner of his eye twitching. Then he threw the broom aside.
"From today on, I'll do whatever the hell I want."
Jovian loosened his body. His attitude was simple. From today on, no one could order him to do anything.
"I'll go take some jobs."
"And I might as well take the S-Class Mage exam while I'm at it."
After thinking for a moment, Jovian walked straight to the request board and took several job requests.
One hour later…
"Strange. Why didn't anyone clean the toilet today?"
A nameless mage who had just finished using the bathroom walked out and asked everyone in the hall.
"Hasn't cleaning the toilets always been the job of Jovian the Toilet Mage? Is he not here today?"
Someone asked in confusion.
"He's not. I couldn't find him in the toilet at all."
The mage who had walked out of the bathroom spoke in confusion.
"Stop looking. I saw Jovian take some jobs just now and leave."
Just as everyone was confused, Mirajane, who had been sitting at the bar and paying attention to the movements around her, spoke.
"Huh?"
After hearing Mirajane's words, everyone spoke in disbelief.
"That man who hasn't left the guild in twenty years actually took a job and left the guild? That's truly unbelievable…"
"As expected of a world of magic. Anything really can happen…"
Countless people muttered to themselves, sighing with emotion over the fact that Jovian had begun taking jobs.
"Don't mess with me. Whoever messes with me dies."
Unlike the previous Jovian, this Jovian seemed to have an outrageously violent temper. And just like the other Jovian, his eyes also shone with a dazzling red light.
