[The Two Emperors were defeated~~~]
[At the same time, in a certain ruin on the battlefield, X Drake and Basil Hawkins lay on the ground~~~]
[X Drake appeared severely injured, while Basil Hawkins seemed to be... gone.]
Capone Bege: "Hawkins should be dead, right?"
Killer: "That kind of man, to actually threaten me with Kid's life, he deserves to die by my blade! He ran away!"
Basil Hawkins: "Oh..."
X Drake: "Looking at the situation, I should still be able to save him..."
Urouge: "Hahahaha!!!"
[Underground, within the Imperial Palace...]
[...Rob Lucci is looking at a Historical Poneglyph~~~]
["Are you interested in these? Nico Robin..."]
[Suddenly, a voice came from the stairs behind them.]
[Rob Lucci turned his head. "How do you know my name, Mr. Celestial Dog?"]
[The two glared at each other for a while, then Kaku removed the mask from his face~~~]
[Revealing his true identity...]
[Full Moon Slash!!!—]
Kouzuki Oden: "What!! Father!!" The moment he saw his biological father, Kouzuki Oden was completely stunned~~~
Kouzuki Oden: "Father..."
Kouzuki Oden: "Father... Are you dead???"
Kouzuki Sukiyaki: "Yes! I was imprisoned by Orochi's deception. After finally escaping, you were already dead... Sigh..."
Orochi Kurozumi: "You old dog, so you're still alive! Good... Even if you didn't die, you'll die soon!!!"
Orochi Kurozumi had already made up his mind. As soon as this viewing system ended, he would immediately lead people to kill Kouzuki Sukiyaki!!!
Kaido: "Hahaha! This viewing system is great! It also helped us catch a remnant of the Kouzuki clan...!"
Kouzuki Oden: "Kaido, you bastard!!!!!"
Kaido: "What am I afraid of? You trash, obediently wait in Marine Headquarters for the news of your dead father!"
[At this time, Luffy looked at Kouzuki Sukiyaki and said, "Mr. Sukiyaki, Pluton, one of the three ancient weapons, is in this country!"]
["Ah!?!"]
[Hearing this, an expression of shock appeared on Kouzuki Sukiyaki's face!!!]
[But he couldn't tell how Luffy knew this matter...]
[Then Rob Lucci continued, "You don't need to look at me with that surprised expression. This information was obtained by me from a Historical Poneglyph. On a Historical Poneglyph in the Alabasta Kingdom, this matter was recorded by reporters..."]
[When Kouzuki Sukiyaki learned that Rob Lucci's information came from a Historical Poneglyph, he was instantly stunned~~~]
[He nodded. "Yes, Pluton... is indeed in this country!!!" ]
[Boom!!—]
When Kouzuki Sukiyaki confirmed Rob Lucci's words, the chat room instantly exploded!
Kaido: "The ancient weapon Pluton is in Wano Country???"
This news was like a huge pie falling directly onto Kaido's head from the sky~~~ It was like you were sleeping one day, and suddenly someone called you and said, "Hey, Zhang San, your house has gold buried underneath it, and the news has reported it!!"
Charlotte Linlin: "Nani???"
Why is that guy actually guarding such a good treasure!!!
Crocodile: "Damn it... Robin!!! I knew you were deceiving me back then!!!"
Nico Robin: "..."
Jinbe: "Fleet Admiral, should we immediately return to Wano Country and search for Pluton?"
Kaido: "No way!!! If Pluton is here, why bother stirring up trouble in the Summit War?! Go back, go back, go back... Hahahaha!!!"
Kaido was currently leading several pirate ships near the Red Line in the New World. He had originally planned to stir up trouble in the Summit War, but yesterday he met Shanks, the Red-Hair Pirate Crew, and was "convinced,"
so he gave up the idea of going to Marine Headquarters. He originally planned to find a random place to let off steam, but unexpectedly encountered the viewing system's broadcast~~~ Now that he knew the whereabouts of Pluton, Kaido impatiently wanted to jump and fly back to Wano Country!!
Shanks: "Kaido, I'll go back with you! Go sit over there!"
Kaido: "Get lost! I don't welcome you!!"
Shanks: "Captain Roger, the matter of Pluton is of great importance. If it falls into the hands of someone like Kaido, it would be troublesome!! We, the Red-Hair Pirates, are still unable to obtain Pluton!!!"
Gol D. Roger: "Alright, little Shanks. I trust your judgment!"
Jaygarcia Saturn: "Kaido, leaving something like Pluton in your hands will only bring endless trouble to yourself and the World Government! We will take custody of Pluton!"
Kaido: "Mother! Do you think I'm a fool? With this thing in hand, whoever has it holds the truth!! And you want to take custody? Take custody of your mother! Idiot."
Shiki: "Gyahahahahaha!"
Sengoku: "Kaido, you're looking for death!"
[Rob Lucci and Kouzuki Sukiyaki were about to go down, but found Trafalgar Law had arrived.]
[Then, under Kouzuki Sukiyaki's lead, they passed through a secret passage and came to the deep sea.]
[Here... there was a red Poneglyph, the Historical Poneglyph.]
[Kouzuki Sukiyaki introduced: "This secret passage is known only to Kaido and Orochi! But... because of the drought, Momonosuke brought other Fish-Man Pirates here to drink water, and they discovered this Historical Poneglyph~~~"]
[Kaido: "Oh~? Now I know it...!!! Hahahaha!!"]
Orochi Kurozumi: "This old man actually knows so much!"
[This is a highland in a cave at the foot of Mount Fuji. From here, one can continue downwards...]
[...It is said that the ancient weapon Pluton sleeps there!!]
[But I have never seen it, nor can I take it out!!]
[To take out Pluton, one must first completely eliminate the wall that surrounds the entire island! In other words, 'opening the country' means destroying this country's defenses and releasing Pluton!!!]
[Kouzuki Sukiyaki explained.]
[Afterward, the pirates spent a few joyful days in Wano Country, then set sail again~~~]
[The Thousand Sunny sailed away from Wano Country~~~]
[On the deck, Luffy held a newspaper!!!]
[The newspaper showed the latest Four Emperors' bounties!]
[Red-Haired Shanks!!!]
[Blackbeard Teach!]
[Straw Hat Luffy!!!]
[Clown Buggy!!!]
[The screen in this white frame slowly faded...]
[Image disappeared!!]
Gol D. Roger: "Little Buggy!!!"
[...hahahahaha!]
Kuroka: "Nani??? Buggy also became a Yonko???"
Edward Newgate: "Ah... that... when that guy who dared to challenge the Red-Hair Pirates also became a Yonko~~~?"
Moonlight Moria: "This is too ridiculous!!! That guy actually became a Yonko?! Is this bounty list a joke???"
Crocodile: "Although I also find it ridiculous, the other three in this bounty list have no problem at all, meaning the bounty list is real."
Donquixote Doflamingo: "Hmmmm... Looks like something incredible has definitely happened in the future~~~"
Wang Zhi: "Red-Hair, Buggy!! Truly worthy of being the twin stars of Roger's Pirate Crew back then... In the future, two years later, they actually carved out half the world!!!"
Gol D. Roger: "Haha! Little Buggy, Little Shanks, you guys are really putting on a show for me, huh?!"
Silvers Rayleigh: "It certainly makes our Roger Pirates look good~~~"
At this time~~~ The red-framed screen slowly brightened... The image appeared!!
[On the swirling sea, Zunesha suddenly appeared, walking forward~~~]
[The Thousand Sunny and the Jackal Pirates ship arrived in Wano Country's waters. Behind the two ships, Zunesha also followed...]
["Captain Luffy, over there, if we go up that waterfall, we'll enter Wano Country's territory!!!"] Usopp reported nervously to Luffy.
[Luffy glanced at the waterfall. The water was clear, clearly a river, not the sea~~~]
[One could clearly see with the naked eye that there were many light-colored large carp swimming up the waterfall!!!]
["Joyboy..."]
[...As early as 800 years ago, this country's outside was already blocked by a tall encircling wall, and then rainwater continuously accumulated, submerging the areas where the residents originally lived. This waterfall was formed precisely because the river overflowed."]
[At this moment, Zunesha's voice reached Luffy's mind~~~]
["A tall encircling wall?"]
[Hearing this, Luffy looked at the tall, towering cliff ahead with some surprise!!! At first glance, he thought it was a cliff~~~]
[He never expected it to be a man-made encircling wall...]
["It seems that 800 years ago, there must have been a Devil Fruit user here who could manipulate stone. Otherwise, these encircling walls could not have formed so naturally and perfectly..."]
[Luffy thought to himself.]
[Then, he asked Zunesha, "Zunesha, do you know the whereabouts of Pluton? I saw information on a Historical Poneglyph that said Pluton is in Wano Country."]
[Zunesha replied to Luffy, "Yes, as early as 800 years ago, Pluton was placed in Wano Country. And it was precisely to seal Pluton that an encircling wall was built around Wano Country."]
[Luffy frowned slightly: "Your meaning is... Wano Country is sealed because... it's sealing Pluton??"]
["Yes, Joyboy..."]
[...Zunesha replied...]
["Since that's the case, then let me open Wano Country's encircling walls!"]
[Luffy instantly entered Nika Form~~~]
[The reason he came to Wano Country was partly because he knew Kaido had a Historical Poneglyph, and another reason was that he wanted to find Pluton here!!!]
[Luffy did not want such a terrifying weapon to exist in the world~~~]
[Therefore, when he was in Water 7, he knew that Franky possessed the blueprints for Pluton.]
[He also had no intention of being greedy. Instead, he told Franky and Iceburg to destroy the blueprints for Pluton!!!]
[However...]
[...when such a thing truly existed in the world, then Luffy had no choice but to control it himself...]
[Just as he brought Shirahoshi out from Fish-Man Island, it wasn't that he coveted Shirahoshi's Poseidon power, but that he didn't want Shirahoshi's Poseidon power to fall into new hands!!!]
[The same logic applies...]
[...Luffy having to control Pluton is the same principle!!!]
[Luffy can guarantee that he won't use the powers of Poseidon and Pluton to do evil things, but he can't guarantee that others won't do evil with them!!!]
[Therefore...]
[...ancient weapons must be contained, controlled, and protected...]
["Joyboy... are you going to open Wano Country?"]
[Feeling Luffy's emotional fluctuations, Zunesha immediately asked.]
["Yes! The reason this country has to be closed is because of Pluton!!!"]
["'Its sin is its treasure,' that's a very simple truth!!!"]
["As long as I take Pluton away, and take it away with great fanfare, letting the World Government know about it, then even if Wano Country's walls disappear, no one will covet it anymore!"]
[Luffy explained with a smile~~~]
Zephyr: "What he said makes a lot of sense..."
Monkey D. Dragon: "'Its sin is its treasure'... This world is truly that realistic!"
Franky: "No mistake! Back then, why did the World Government send CP9 agents to Water 7? Wasn't it because they suspected Iceburg was hiding the blueprints for Pluton??? But later..."
[...when I dramatically destroyed the blueprints for Pluton, over two years passed, and Water 7 was no longer troubled by CP9!!!]
Gol D. Roger: "Red Luffy's way of doing things is very good!!! Instead of believing others can use Pluton for good, it's better to believe yourself!!! I dare say, if something like Pluton fell into the hands of the World Government, then the Buster Call would be Pluton's stage from now on!!!"
Edward Newgate: "Gurarararara...!!! You're right! With that thing around, what country would dare not listen to the World Government? They'll just hit you with a cannon shot right away!!!"
Shiki: "One cannon shot, island destroyed! If this thing fell into our pirate hands, it could also make the World Government obediently listen to us! Gyahahahahaha...!!!!"
Portgas D. Ace: "It's obvious that as the owner of Pluton, Luffy is the most suitable!!!"
Kaido: "Heh heh... Now, I am the most suitable, gyahahahaha!"
Kouzuki Oden: "Don't you dream wildly!!! Even if Pluton falls into your hands, you won't be able to use it!!! Only Joyboy can operate Pluton!!!"
["Its sin is its treasure..."]
[Zunesha savored Luffy's words. After a moment, it said, "Joyboy... You're right..."]
["Alright, Zunesha, now I'm going to break these walls!!!"]
["Since the ancient Wano Country's sea level is normal, then the accumulated rainwater will be an enormous amount!!!"]
["Once I break open this wall, the river water will form a huge impact!"]
["Zunesha, you retreat to a safe distance now!!!"]
["Franky, have the Thousand Sunny submerge underwater!"]
[Luffy leaped into the sky. Buggy's upper half followed him, grabbing Luffy in mid-air~~~]
[However, Zunesha replied: "No... Joyboy, this matter... please leave it to me..."]
["Please command me! Let me open Wano Country..."]
["Nani??? You?!?" Luffy said strangely.]
["Yes, Joyboy, please command me..." Zunesha replied.]
[Luffy mused for a moment, then said, "Alright, then I command you, open Wano Country!"]
["Yes!"]
[Zunesha responded. It first used its trunk to pull the Thousand Sunny behind it, then raised its colossal trunk and directly placed it on the upper end of the waterfall, plunging it in a section...]
[The next moment, Zunesha's trunk violently pulled...]
[Boom!!!]
[The waterfall burst!!!—]
