Sea Circle Calendar — September 1520
The gears of fate turned slowly. Even the flutter of a butterfly's wings could spark immense change.
In the two years since Sugisawa Yuuto arrived in this world, the course of history had already been deflected far from its original path. Events like Alabasta, Sky Island, and Thriller Bark had been resolved ahead of schedule. The Straw Hat Crew's navigators and archaeologists had all been secured by Yuuto in advance.
Yet, as the children of destiny, the Straw Hat Pirates, led by Straw Hat Luffy, still caused chaos across the seas.
The crew had reached the Sabaody Archipelago as a new Supernova—without Nami, their original navigator. There was a simple reason: they had found a "magic" navigator who could rival Nami herself.
Half a year ago, when the Straw Hats struggled without a navigator, Lebby, a Fairy Tail warlock summoned into this world, appeared before them. After some initial conversation, they discovered that their goals aligned: the Grand Line.
Lebby temporarily joined the crew and, using her own skills, quickly mastered navigation. She became the Straw Hats' navigator and soon gained a reputation across the pirate world.
Shortly after, Yuuto had appeared in East Blue with lightning speed. Yet, in the end, he chose not to intervene, letting events unfold.
Soon, Lebby and the Straw Hats entered the Grand Line for the first time, encountering Erza and her comrades. Lebby, however, chose to stay with the Straw Hats, honoring her sense of responsibility.
With her presence, the Straw Hat Crew became a sort of branch unit of Fairy Tail, receiving many commissions during the first half of the voyage. These missions, combined with their exploits, made the crew this year's brightest Supernova.
And now, today…
The Straw Hat Crew had reached the Sabaody Archipelago, guided by fate. Here, they met the mermaid Camie, triggering a new version of the Celestial Dragons event. With some Celestial Dragons already being beaten, Charles Rose rushing through the streets, naturally, other Dragons soon followed.
Sabaody Islands
Flames and gunpowder lit the streets. After a year, the island had once again become a battlefield, plunged into chaos.
At Mangrove No. 24, the streets were torn apart by fierce fighting. Four Supernova pirates with bounties over 100 million—Drake, Manap, Urouge, and Hawkins—lay wounded on the ground.
"Moses… Moses…"
Admiral Kizaru frowned, visibly irritated.
"Old man, hurry to Red Tree No. 12! The Straw Hat Crew is escaping!" urged Captain Senmomaru of the Marine Science Corps.
Not long after, Kizaru descended on Red Tree No. 12. The Straw Hats were already in grave danger.
"Zoro! Dangerous! Zoro is in trouble!" Captain Luffy shouted, panic in his voice.
Nearby, Usopp and Brook tried desperately to save him. But without Haki, their attacks couldn't even graze Kizaru's clothes. Logia powers rendered them ineffective.
Just as Kizaru's light-speed kick was about to strike, a figure appeared to block him.
It was the legendary Pluton Rayleigh, who had recently made the Straw Hats' acquaintance during the auction.
Even with Rayleigh blocking, the Straw Hats' situation remained dire. They still faced Senmomaru and other pacifist Marines. Exhausted, their chances of victory were nearly zero.
"Everyone, we can't win against them! Just find a way to escape!" Luffy commanded. The crew split into three groups and fled desperately.
But escape was futile. Zoro, seriously wounded, was locked onto by a pacifist and faced imminent death.
"Wait, px1!"
A gentle voice rang behind Usopp and the others. The real Shichibukai, Tyrant Bartholomew Kuma, had finally arrived.
"If you want to travel… where do you think you're going?" Kuma asked softly, removing his gloves.
No time to hesitate. No time to act. With a single strike of Kuma's palm, Zoro vanished—the first Straw Hat to leave the battlefield.
"Zoro!!!" Luffy's scream pierced the sky.
Before the crew could recover, Kuma's powers struck again. His Paramecia Meatball Fruit abilities fired in succession. Brook, who had accepted the Straw Hats' invitation at Gemini Cape, vanished first, followed by Usopp, then Sanji, then Franky…
Even Chopper, despite three Rumble Balls, was easily knocked out.
Only Captain Luffy and navigator Lebby remained on the battlefield.
"Stop! Stop! Stop! I said stop!" Luffy's voice cracked as he watched his friends disappear one by one. He switched to Second Gear, desperate to protect Lebby.
But against absolute power, rage alone could do nothing.
"Bye now."
The Shichibukai raised his massive hand, swinging it down toward Lebby.
Suddenly, the ground split apart. Towering trees erupted between Kuma and Lebby.
"Lion Star — Shock!"
A brilliant lion-shaped light illuminated the sky. The pacifists struck with precision.
"Brother of Ace, here I come!"
A girl wielding a mace fell from the sky.
"That's enough for now!"
Her sword gleamed, and Elsa Haki, the Fairy Queen, targeted Admiral Kizaru with unerring precision.
