The Seeds of a New Empire

God Valley — 3 Days Later
The once-glorious island lay in ruins. The God Valley Incident was over. The world would come to call it a historic event… but the truth? Only a few knew what really happened. One of those few was now sitting alone atop a shattered cliff, staring at the ocean.
Max D. Revenant.
His cloak fluttered behind him. His sword—still crackling faintly with dark-blue energy—rested beside him, stuck into the ground. His black eyes shimmered with data streams from the System.

Somewhere in the Grand Line — World Government Emergency Summit
A rare event: all Celestial Dragons, the Five Elders, and high-ranking Navy leaders were gathered inside the cold, gold-walled chamber beneath Mary Geoise. It smelled of incense and fear.
On a high throne sat Imu, cloaked in shadow. Below, the Five Elders knelt. Their faces were tight with rage and worry.
"This 'Max' is unlike anything we've faced," spat the elder with the curved sword. "He defies not just our laws—but fate itself."
"He saved Xebec. Altered history," the one with the birthmark whispered. "Even the True Records are shifting. The Void Century's echoes are trembling."
Imu finally raised a hand. The room went silent.
"Send Cipher Pol Zero. Send the Seraphim. Send the full might of the Navy if needed," Imu said in a voice that echoed like whispers in a crypt. "Max D. Revenant must die before the world follows him."
---
Back on God Valley — Building the Circle
Max stared down at the jungle path, where a small group approached him.
First came Rocks D. Xebec, still bandaged, but alive. His presence was thunderous as always, but there was something different—he wasn't trying to intimidate Max anymore. He was curious.
Behind him were a few others from the Rocks Pirates who had survived the chaos:
Whitebeard (Edward Newgate), his naginata slung across his back.
Charlotte Linlin (Big Mom), her laughter a little more guarded than usual.
Kaido, young and reckless, looking at Max like he was something unreal.
Shiki the Golden Lion, hovering slightly above ground with his power.
"You're still here," Whitebeard said, crossing his arms. "Thought you'd disappear like a ghost."
"I don't run," Max said calmly. "I build."
"You talk like a king," Kaido sneered.
"I am," Max said. "You all fight for chaos. Power. Glory. But none of you ever built something that lasted. Let me show you how."
Rocks narrowed his eyes. "You want us to follow you?"
"No," Max replied. "I want allies. For now."
---
The Vision: The Supreme Kingdom
Max pulled a scroll from his coat—handwritten by the System. As he unrolled it, an intricate map revealed itself. It had sea currents, territories, and navy routes, marked in red. But three islands were highlighted in gold:
1. Karasu Island — a lawless haven of assassins and exiled royals.
2. Morda — an industrial powerhouse near the Calm Belt.
3. Rhodesia — a forgotten kingdom that once rivaled Alabasta in culture and wealth.
"These three islands will be mine. Together, they will form the base of the Supreme Kingdom," Max said. "From there, we expand. I don't just want to rule the sea—I want to create a new World Order."
Big Mom burst into laughter. "You want to be the King of Everything?"
"No," Max said softly. "I want to be the one who replaces the World Government… permanently."
---
Strategy Session Begins
The pirates gathered around the scroll. Surprisingly, they listened.
"Karasu's controlled by warlords," Shiki muttered. "They'll fight to the last."
"We don't fight them," Max replied. "We recruit them. They hate the World Government more than they hate each other."
"Morda's protected by Sea Kings," Whitebeard said. "Even I avoid it."
"I'll tame the beasts," Max said. "Or kill them."
"Rhodesia has nothing but ruins," Kaido added.
"It has legacy. And an artifact buried in its temple," Max said. "The System tells me… it's Older than the Void Century."
They fell silent.
"Let me take Karasu first. Alone," Max said. "If I win, you'll see I'm not just talk."
Rocks tilted his head. "What if you die?"
"Then the world keeps rotting," Max said, smiling faintly. "But I won't."
---
Training Before Departure
That night, under the shattered sky of God Valley, Max trained alone.
He activated a new System skill:
> New Passive Skill: King's Presence (Rank C)
– Increases leadership aura and intimidates enemies within a 50-meter radius.
– Boosts morale of allies by 25%.
New Technique: Dominion Slash
– A sword strike that bends gravitational pressure and can split the sea temporarily.
He slashed the air, and the cliff below cracked open, water rising in slow motion before crashing down again. The power… was growing.
---
Elsewhere: A Young Gol D. Roger
On a ship sailing away from God Valley, a young Roger sat cross-legged, thinking. He hadn't joined the battle—but he had watched.
"Rayleigh," Roger said, "who the hell was that guy? The one who stood over Garp and Xebec both?"
Rayleigh leaned on the railing, smoking. "I don't know. But he's not from this world."
Roger grinned. "Then maybe… he's the one who can flip it."
---
Final Scene — Max's Departure
Max stood on a black vessel built from the wreckage of the God Valley battlefield. Behind him were shadows—men and women who had decided to follow him.
He raised his sword.
"Next stop: Karasu. Let the age of kings… begin."
And as the sails caught wind and the sea shimmered with dawn light, the world shifted once more.
A new age was coming.
And Max D. Revenant was its storm. Three Weeks Later — The Grand Line
The wind howled like a beast as Max's ship sliced through the Grand Line toward its first target: Karasu Island. A place forgotten by kings and untouched by Marines. Known only by whispers and the bloody stories of those who barely escaped.
Karasu meant raven—fitting for an island shrouded in black mountains, steep cliffs, and eternal twilight. No sunlight pierced the mist that blanketed the jagged coast. And yet, this was the land Max D. Revenant had chosen to begin his empire.
The deck of his ship was silent. His crew—assembled from the remnants of God Valley—watched him. Most were killers, rebels, or survivors. All of them were dangerous. But none dared challenge him.
---
System Notification:
> Main Quest: Found the Supreme Kingdom – Stage 1: Karasu
– Objective: Overthrow the Seven Claw Lords ruling the island
– Objective: Gain the loyalty of at least one Claw Lord
– Objective: Establish Revenant Citadel within 10 days
New Skill Unlocked: "Shadowwalk (B)"
– Allows stealth movement through shadows within a 25-meter radius
– Duration: 3 minutes | Cooldown: 10 minutes
Max's eyes flickered with dark-blue system light as he stood at the bow. "Karasu's full of killers, warlords, and mercenaries. They respect strength—but they follow fear."
He turned to his second-in-command, a one-eyed swordswoman named Sela, whom he'd rescued from a slave pit on God Valley.
"Ready the drop teams. We enter by night. Quietly. We cut out their eyes before they know we're even here."
---
Karasu Island – Nightfall
The ship docked silently in a natural harbor known only through stolen maps. Black cliffs surrounded them. No torches lit the path—Karasu thrived in darkness.
The first scent that hit them was blood.
The streets of the outer town, Iron Hollow, were carved into the mountainside like ancient tombs. Steel bridges hung over bottomless pits. Above, black birds circled endlessly. The people moved like ghosts—scarred, pale, watching every stranger.
Max stepped onto the stone platform, his cloak fluttering. The moment he did, several masked figures surrounded him with blades.
"You lost, outsider," one of them said, his voice hollow. "Karasu doesn't want kings."
Max didn't answer.
He raised one hand.
> Skill Activated: Shadowwalk
– Shadow travel initiated…
He vanished from view.
Within three seconds, every masked man dropped to the ground. Silent, unconscious—alive only because Max wanted them to carry a message.
He stepped out of the shadows behind their leader. "Tell your masters: the King has arrived."
---
The Seven Claw Lords
In a massive obsidian fortress deep in the mountains, the Seven Claw Lords gathered. They were the hidden rulers of Karasu Island—each one controlling a district, each one a killer without mercy.
Claw One: Riven Voss – Master of poisons and whispers.
Claw Two: Goro the Grinder – A giant who crushed enemies with bare hands.
Claw Three: Sister Elmira – A nun who tortured with divine precision.
Claw Four: Tyr the Bleeding Blade – Fastest swordsman in the Underworld.
Claw Five: Azan the Smoke – Assassin who never speaks.
Claw Six: Vulture Cain – A sniper who never misses.
Claw Seven: Luka of the Bells – A child genius who commands machines.
They argued, shouted, and finally agreed on one thing: Max D. Revenant must die.
---
Assassination Attempt – The Red Fog
On the fourth night after arrival, Max was meditating alone in a canyon when the fog turned red.
> Danger Detected. Assassins Approaching: 9 targets
System Suggestion: Engage or Evade?
Max stood. "Engage."
Nine assassins emerged from the mist, blades drawn, their bodies modified with dark implants—products of Luka's machines.
"Cut him to pieces," one whispered.
Max closed his eyes. His aura exploded outward.
> Skill Activated: King's Presence (C)
– Enemy morale decreased by 60%
– Allied fear immunity granted
The assassins froze. One dropped his blade involuntarily.
Max moved like lightning. Using Dominion Slash, he shattered the canyon wall and buried four of them in a landslide. Another three fell to his Revenant Stride, a dash that cut through space itself.
The final two fled. Max let them go.
Fear was the best messenger.
---
Riven Voss's Betrayal
The next morning, Max walked directly into the fortress gates. Alone.
Claw One, Riven Voss, was waiting.
"I have no love for the other six," Riven said, his voice like acid. "I'll give you their positions. Let me live. Let me serve."
Max didn't hesitate. "Done."
> Quest Update:
– Gained Loyalty: Riven Voss
– New Subtask Unlocked: Eliminate Three Claw Lords by Day 10
---
Day 6 — The War Begins
With Riven's help, Max launched precision strikes:
Goro the Grinder fell to a collapsed ceiling rigged by Riven's alchemy.
Sister Elmira was lured into her own confessional booth and trapped inside a Haki-infused prison of silence.
Vulture Cain was ambushed in his sniper nest by Max using Shadowwalk.
Each time, Max didn't fight for glory. He fought with cold precision. With strategy.
The people began to whisper his name in the alleys.
> Revenant... The Ghost King... The King Who Doesn't Blink...
---
The Revenant Citadel
On Day 9, Max stood atop the central fortress—rebuilt, reforged, and renamed:
The Revenant Citadel.
Flags were raised: Black with silver flames. His symbol—a crown made of broken chains.
He addressed the people of Karasu:
"I do not ask for loyalty. I earn it. I do not promise peace. I promise purpose. No more hiding in the shadows. From this day, Karasu stands—not as an island of knives, but as the first kingdom of the storm to come."
The crowd roared.
Max raised his sword.
> SYSTEM ALERT:
– Revenant Citadel Established
– Karasu Island Conquered
– Next Target: Morda, the Iron Crucible
---
Meanwhile – Mary Geoise
Imu read the report with narrow eyes.
"The ghost king has taken his first island," one Elder Star muttered. "This is not just rebellion. This is war."
Imu said only one word.
"Deploy... the Seraphim."
---
Final Scene — Max's Private Chamber
In the quiet of his new throne room, Max stood before a table covered in maps, blueprints, and fragments of ancient texts.
Among them, a stone tablet recovered from Karasu's deepest catacomb. On it, an inscription in a dead language… and a symbol Max had seen once in his system's memory:
> The Will of D.
Max smiled.
"Let's rewrite the world." Two Weeks Later – Aboard the Revenant Flagship, Black Gale
The wind shrieked like a dragon as Black Gale cut across the Grand Line, its newly raised black-and-silver banners fluttering proudly. Karasu Island had been claimed. The Claw Lords were scattered or sworn. Max D. Revenant now turned his gaze to the next piece of the Supreme Kingdom puzzle:
Morda — The Iron Crucible.
Morda was infamous. Not for warlords, not for pirates. But for machines. It was once the beating heart of an ancient industrial empire—now reduced to molten forges, broken factories, and a forgotten people ruled by steel-fisted overlords.
Max stood on the deck, studying the black clouds on the horizon.
> System Objective – Stage 2: Morda Conquest – Capture the Three Great Forges of Morda
– Defeat Overseer Drax and the Gear Guard
– Unlock the Titan Core Reactor
– Integrate Lost Tech into the Supreme Kingdom
Sela, his second-in-command, approached. "The sea around Morda is boiling. Even the Calm Belt looks tame next to it."
Max nodded. "They don't want visitors. Good thing I'm not a guest."
---
Morda – Outer Wall: The Furnace Coast
As they approached the island, Max's crew saw what few had lived to describe: towers of smoke, gears taller than ships, and rivers of molten metal cutting through the rocky valleys. The outer shores were lined with rusted sea mines and turrets operated by the Gear Guard, Morda's infamous automated defense force.
But Max didn't order a direct assault. Instead, he used intelligence.
> Skill Activated: Shadowwalk (B)
> Location: Sector 7 Gate Control Override – Infiltration Success.
Within hours, Morda's eastern defense grid collapsed. The Gate of Steel opened, and the Black Gale slid silently into port.
---
The Enslaved Workers of Morda
Max and Sela moved through the industrial slums, where smoke choked the sky and the people coughed blood. Children worked in smelters. Adults wore chains etched with serial numbers.
"They gave up their names a generation ago," Sela said softly.
"No more," Max said.
He raised his voice on a slag platform.
"People of Morda! You burn for kings who don't even remember your faces. You bleed for machines that no longer serve men. You are not tools. You are the flame of rebellion—and I will give you the match."
---
Overseer Drax – The Iron Tyrant
Deep beneath Forge Cathedral, the primary smelting complex, Overseer Drax sat on a throne of wires and pistons. Once human, now nearly 90% machine, he was a monster of industry with a mechanical spine and voice that echoed like an anvil strike.
He received word of Max's invasion—and laughed.
"The boy king thinks he can take the Crucible? Let him come. We will turn him into gears."
Drax activated the Gear Guard Prime—twelve massive mechs powered by ancient batteries from the Void Century. They'd once fought Sea Kings. Now, they were ready to fight Max.
---
Max's Assault – The Three Great Forges
Max split his forces into three teams:
1. Team Sela: Tasked with capturing Forge Black, the smallest but most strategic.
2. Team Riven Voss: Sent to infiltrate Forge Gray, poisoning the coolant systems and collapsing internal fuel lines.
3. Max alone: Headed directly for Forge Redheart—the heart of Drax's empire and home to the Titan Core Reactor.
---
The Battle of Redheart
Redheart was a cathedral of heat—lava tubes, iron pipes, and a ceiling lost in black smoke. Inside waited Gear Guard Prime and Overseer Drax himself.
"You're just another tyrant," Max said calmly.
"No. I am evolution," Drax replied, his voice distorted by machinery. "And you will be scrapped."
> Skill Activated: Dominion Slash
> Max's blade tore through a metal titan, sending sparks and limbs flying.
But Drax activated a gravity field that crushed the air around Max. Steam hissed. The reactor began to overload.
> System Override Detected
> – Passive Awakening: Supreme Will (B)
– Negates suppression fields for 30 seconds
– User immune to forced mechanical bindings
Max's aura exploded—raw haki merged with System energy. His eyes glowed silver-blue. In one motion, he threw his blade like a lightning bolt—it pierced Drax's heart core.
"Evolution means knowing when to stop being human," Drax whispered.
Max leaned in.
"No. It means remembering why we started."
With a final pulse of Haki, he crushed Drax's core. The Titan Reactor behind him roared.
---
Titan Core Claimed
The system chimed.
> Titan Core Reactor Integrated
– Energy output: 700x standard
– New Feature Unlocked: Revenant Arsenal
– New Blueprint Added: "Supreme Kingdom Tech Hub"
Achievement Unlocked:
Titan Slayer
---
Morda Rises
With Drax gone and the Forges secured, the people rallied. Max tore the chains from the workers himself. The factories were reprogrammed—not for weapons of war, but for construction, energy, and defense.
He raised the flag of the Revenant Citadel over Morda's tallest tower.
"You are no longer slaves," he declared. "You are the engineers of destiny. The Second Pillar of the Supreme Kingdom stands!"
---
Meanwhile – Navy HQ, New Marineford
Fleet Admiral Kong slammed his fist on the table.
"Karasu was a warning. But Morda? He's using Void Century tech. He's uniting islands. He's not a pirate… he's a revolution."
Admiral Sengoku stepped forward. "We should send Garp."
"No," said one of the Five Elders appearing via Den Den Mushi. "Send Vice Admiral Kizaru. And activate Seraphim-0. Revenant must not reach Rhodesia."
---
Final Scene – Max in His Workshop
Max stood in Morda's former reactor chamber, now transformed into a strategy room lit by humming energy.
On the wall were three island names, two now crossed out:
Karasu – Conquered
Morda – Claimed
Rhodesia – Next
In his hands, he held a device recovered from Drax's vault—a Void Drive Core, technology older than the World Government itself.
And on a stone beside it, an ancient symbol:
> "All Kings Fall… Unless They Rise Again in Flame."
Max smiled.
"Then let the fire rise." One Month Later – Onboard the Black Gale II
The Revenant Empire had begun to ripple through the seas.
Karasu stood strong with new walls and black flags. Morda's forges now powered Max's warfleet. The world had started to whisper — Revenant is no pirate. He is a shadow king.
Now, the next storm was coming.
Rhodesia.
An island of desert and wind. No crops. No mines. No warlords. A forgotten land… but beneath its sands were rumors—of ancient libraries, Void Century vaults, and an artifact even the Celestial Dragons feared.
Max stood at the helm, his eyes scanning the golden horizon. The wind was dry and hot.
> System Alert – Next Target Identified: Rhodesia, Island of Memory
– Objective: Unlock the Archive of Dust
– Objective: Survive the Trial of Truth
– Objective: Uncover the Legacy of the Ancient Kingdom
Warning: Rhodesia is guarded by World Government operatives. High risk of Seraphim deployment.
---
Flashback – The Five Elders' Chamber, Mary Geoise
"He's headed to Rhodesia," one of the Elders rasped. "We thought no one even remembered that name."
Imu's voice cut through the silence.
"If he finds what's hidden there… everything falls apart. Send Kizaru. Send Seraphim-0. Wipe the sand clean."
---
Rhodesia – Arrival
Rhodesia had no ports. Just wind-blasted canyons and dunes the size of mountains.
Max landed with a small elite team—Sela, Riven Voss, and a new recruit: Argento, a Mordan tech engineer with a mysterious past and a robotic arm powered by Titan energy.
The sand stung like razors. The sky shimmered. But Max's system locked onto an anomaly buried beneath the central dunes.
> Detected: Vault of the Ancients – 2,100 meters below surface.
But they weren't alone.
---
The Attack – Seraphim-0
Before they reached the ruins, a beam of light exploded in front of them. Max barely deflected it with King's Presence (C).
From the heat haze stepped a tall figure in yellow, humming a tune: Kizaru.
"Yo~ Revenant, right? The Government says you're digging too deep."
Behind him landed Seraphim-0—a monstrous hybrid between a Lunarian, a Pacifista, and a Warlord clone… with the DNA and combat abilities of all the Seven Warlords combined.
Max narrowed his eyes. "You're too early. The war hasn't started yet."
Kizaru smirked. "That's what the last guy said."
---
Battle Under the Sun
Kizaru moved first—light-speed kicks, impossible to dodge. But Max had evolved.
> New Skill: Revenant Reflection (A)
– Predicts enemy movement using high-speed combat analysis
– Allows temporary foresight for 3 seconds
– Cooldown: 1 minute
Max parried Kizaru's kick with a thunderous clash that cracked the nearby dune. Sand melted from the heat.
Meanwhile, Sela and Riven battled Seraphim-0, who split into multiple drone forms, each wielding a different Warlord's fighting style—Mihawk's swordplay, Kuma's Paw-Paw pressure, Hancock's petrification… But Argento deployed Titan Protocol, unleashing nanites into the sand.
"Hold it still!" he shouted.
Max locked eyes with Kizaru. "You're fast. But I don't need to catch you. I just need to distract you."
He held up a small device.
BOOM! — A buried Titan battery detonated beneath Seraphim-0, sending it crashing into a sinkhole.
Max launched toward Kizaru.
Their haki collided in a flash of blue and gold.
---
The Trial of Truth
After six hours of battle and retreat, the team reached an ancient obsidian door, half-buried in sand.
> System Quest: Trial of Truth
– Objective: Answer the Three Lies of the World Government
– Failure results in memory erasure
Max stepped forward. The door opened with a whisper.
Inside lay The Archive of Dust—a hidden library filled with glass tubes, scrolls, and memory cubes glowing softly.
A voice echoed from the chamber:
"State the Three Lies of the World."
Max took a breath.
1. "The Ancient Kingdom was not evil. It was the first global alliance."
2. "The Void Century was not lost. It was stolen—erased by the Twenty Kings."
3. "The Will of D… is not rebellion. It is inheritance."
Silence. Then, the walls lit up. A stone rose from the center, carved with an emblem:
> The True Flag of the Ancient Kingdom
– A broken crown, surrounded by stars.
> Artifact Gained: Flame of Memory Core
– Allows vision into ancient events
– Can awaken ancient technology
Skill Gained: Inherited Will (Passive)
– Greatly increases charisma among oppressed peoples
– Allows unity across enemy factions
---
The Rhodesia Uprising
With the truth awakened, Max broadcast the data across Den Den Mushi frequencies. All across the world, people watched forbidden records of the Ancient Kingdom rise from the sand.
Enraged, inspired, liberated—Rhodesia rose in revolt.
Max lit the new Revenant Banner atop the tallest dune, beneath the blood-red moon.
"Today, we do not just remember the truth. We resurrect it."
---
Final Scene – Mary Geoise Panic Room
A Celestial Dragon trembled. "He's revealing history."
The Elders were silent.
Then Imu stood.
"Bring me Saturn. And awaken the Weapon beneath Egghead. If Revenant seeks truth—then let him meet the Mother Flame."
---
Two Weeks After the Rhodesia Broadcast
The world was no longer silent.
All across the seas, the people whispered the words "Ancient Kingdom," "Flame of Memory," and "Revenant." Pirates, civilians, even revolutionaries started aligning themselves—not with the World Government… but with a man who had never flown their flag.
In the shadows of Mary Geoise, the Elders' patience had shattered.
> "Max D. Revenant is no longer a threat to manage—he's an extinction-level event."
"Send everything. Vegapunk's legacy ends now. So does his."
---
Egghead Island – The Smart Future
Once a beacon of hope, Egghead Island had become heavily fortified. What was once open to visitors was now cloaked in plasma shields, Seastone cannons, and a satellite ring built to destroy incoming vessels. Beneath it lay the Mother Flame Core—a prototype ancient weapon once stored by Vegapunk, now in control of the Five Elders.
But Max needed to enter. Not just for the weapon… but for the truth.
> System Alert: Mother Flame Core Identified
– Risk Level: SSS
– Suggested Strategy: Infiltration and Core Seizure
– Bonus Objective: Recover Vegapunk's Final Memory Node
---
Aboard the Black Gale II – Strategy Room
Max studied a floating hologram of Egghead Island. Riven Voss pointed to the outer defenses.
"They're using Lunarian solar nodes. No way through without melting."
Argento frowned. "Unless we use Rhodesian sandstone dust. It blocks radiation. I can engineer a drone cloak to punch through their ring."
Max nodded. "Do it. We'll strike from the clouds."
Sela added, "And if Saturn is there?"
Max's eyes narrowed. "Then I show a god what real fire is."
---
Nightfall – The Drop
With Argento's drone cloak deployed, Max, Sela, and Riven jumped from a glider drone over the Egghead cloud dome. Like phantoms, they dropped onto a platform near the observation tower.
But they weren't alone.
Vice Admiral Doberman and a full Cipher Pol 0 squad waited with Seraphim-7, a flying Lunarian-Pacifista hybrid designed from Shiki the Golden Lion's DNA.
> Enemy Detected: Seraphim-7 "Shiki Type" – Flight, gravity manipulation, sword expertise
– Danger Level: A+
Max drew his blade. "I'll handle the sky lion. Sela, get to the lower core. Riven, find Vegapunk's terminal."
---
Sky Duel: Revenant vs. Seraphim-7
The sky cracked with light and metal as Max engaged Seraphim-7. It soared through the air using floating rocks, blades of gravity swirling around it like a hurricane.
Max leapt from chunk to chunk, pushing his Revenant Slash to its limit, coating each strike in King's Haki and Titan Core energy.
Seraphim-7 fired a focused gravity blast—Max dodged midair, kicked off a flying boulder, and landed a decisive upward slash—
> Skill Unlocked: Revenant Skybreak (A)
– Aerial haki-boosted sword strike
– Can slice through enhanced Pacifista alloys
"BREAK!"
With a roar, Seraphim-7 split in half and crashed into the sea dome below.
Max looked down at the chaos below—alarms were blaring. Saturn had arrived.
---
Level 5 – The Core
Sela and Argento made it to the Mother Flame Core Chamber, but it wasn't dormant—it was alive. Veins of glowing red energy pulsed along the walls, and at the center hovered a flame—not fire, but memory.
> System Warning: Core Fragment Contains Memory Data
> Accessing…
Suddenly, visions flooded the room: a boy with silver hair, ancient ships flying through space, the fall of the Great Kingdom, and the first activation of the Mother Flame, wiping out an entire sky island.
Sela gasped. "This isn't a weapon… it's history itself."
Just then, Saturn appeared—transformed into his monstrous Zoan form. His eyes glowed black.
"You see too much."
---
Final Memory Node – Vegapunk's Truth
Riven reached the final lab room, where a broken Den Den Mushi projector sat atop a pedestal. It sparked once… and Vegapunk's voice echoed.
"If you're hearing this, the world's balance is gone. The Mother Flame isn't what they think—it's not destruction. It's recorded pain. It burns not by fuel… but by the suffering of lost generations."
Max entered just as the room began to collapse. "Then we're not destroying it. We're freeing it."
---
The Escape – Egghead Implodes
Max and team activated a modified Titan core to overload the defenses, then used Argento's gravity-pulse tech to create a flight corridor through the sky.
Saturn tried to stop them—stretching claws, darkness, and venom—but Max unleashed his trump card:
> Skill Activated: Soulbrand (S)
– Coat blade with condensed willpower
– Can cut through divine Zoan aura
– Reflects memory-based energy attacks
Max slashed through Saturn's arm, forcing him back.
"I'm not your pawn, monster."
They escaped in a streak of fire as Egghead's upper dome collapsed in on itself, taking the reactor offline.
---
World Broadcast – The Truth Goes Live
Using data stored in Vegapunk's node, Max broadcast a message to the world. It included:
A visual history of the Ancient Kingdom
Vegapunk's warning about the Mother Flame
The truth of the Void Century: The D. were defenders. The Celestials were usurpers.
People across the seas wept, cheered, and rose.
---
Final Scene – Max on the Bridge
Egghead burned behind him. The sea glowed with the reflection of a new future.
"We've taken the skies," he said. "We've taken the truth. Now there's one thing left—the throne."
Behind him, a stone tablet appeared in hologram:
> Next Target: The Holy Land – Mary Geoise
Objective: Begin the Fall of the World Government.
--- Three Days After the Fall of Egghead
The world was on fire—but not from chaos. From awakening.
Islands once loyal to the World Government were now tearing down Marine bases. Banners with the emblem of the Ancient Kingdom—a broken crown and twelve stars—rose in every blue.
Pirates began aligning behind Revenant not as a pirate king, but as a liberator. Civilians wept over Vegapunk's recordings. Even kingdoms that had paid the Celestial Dragon Tribute for centuries hesitated.
And in the shadows of the Red Line…
The Celestial Dragons screamed.
> "Burn every record. Kill every Den Den Mushi. Seal the sky!"
But it was too late.
Because Max D. Revenant had declared it.
The Age of Truth had begun.
---
Revenant Empire War Table — Karasu Fortress
The high command gathered. Around the table stood:
Max D. Revenant, now wearing a black battle cloak with silver feathers.
Sela, his right hand, voice of the oppressed.
Riven Voss, tactician and Cipher Pol defector.
Argento, Mordan tech-smith, now developing "memory engines."
Blackflame Rooks, a fiery fishman general recruited from Rhodesia's rebellion.
Max opened the meeting with a single sentence:
"The throne must fall."
Sela added, "We have unity. We have will. But we need a way up the Red Line."
---
System Activated – War Plan: Heavenfall Protocol
> Objective: Invade Mary Geoise
Stages:
– Storm Enies Lobby
– Activate Reverse Gate
– Use the Mother Flame Pulse to melt Red Wall segment
Bonus Objective: Free Prisoners from Level 6 of Impel Down
Final Goal: Reach the Empty Throne Room, Mary Geoise
---
Stage One: Enies Lobby
Max launched a three-front assault on Enies Lobby, the judicial stronghold at the foot of the Red Line. Still under repair since Luffy's era, its defenses were weak—but it held the Reverse Gate, a forgotten mechanism once used to elevate ships over the Red Line.
Using Titan steam gliders and explosive sandstone rounds, the Revenant Armada breached the island's defense lines.
Vice Admiral Onigumo tried to resist with six sword arms, but Max cut through them with his new skill:
> Skill Unlocked: Blade of Kingdoms (S)
– Increases damage against government-aligned enemies
– Adds seismic force to each slash
– Can break barriers and seastone locks
Enies Lobby fell in one day.
Max climbed its tower, raised his sword high, and shouted to the sky:
"This gate no longer leads to judgment. It leads to freedom!"
---
Stage Two: Impel Down Break-In
Before ascending the Red Line, Max turned to a greater mission—freeing the forgotten heroes from Level 6.
With Enies Lobby secure, he used a disguised sea route through Bluehell Trench to breach Impel Down's submerged underbelly.
Hannyabal, now warden, attempted to hold the line, but Riven released a wave of nanite-based memory disrupters—scrambling surveillance and logia suppression systems.
> Level 6 Cells Unsealed.
From the darkness emerged monsters and martyrs.
Among them:
Silver Haze Walden, a former Revolutionary general with seaquake powers.
Yurei the Red Mist, a rogue ex-Cipher Pol assassin with the ability to manipulate blood vapor.
And one terrifying name: Dread Admiral Kael, a Marine hero turned traitor, cast into Level 6 for refusing to execute a sky island.
Max stood before them. "You were buried to protect their lies. Fight with me. And rewrite the truth."
Every hand rose.

Meanwhile – Mary Geoise
The Five Elders sat cloaked in ritual, surrounding the Empty Throne. But now, Imu stood in front of it.
He placed one hand on the blade embedded in the throne's base—a relic from the Void Century.
"Revenant has awakened the Will of D. We must answer with fire."
He activated a key: Heaven's Grief—an orbital weapon once built by the Ancient Kingdom, now repurposed by the Celestials. Hidden in the sky above the Red Line.
> "If he brings war to the throne, we bring judgment from the stars."
---
Stage Three: Red Wall Breakthrough
At Enies Lobby's Reverse Gate, Max and Argento activated the Mother Flame Pulse.
The Red Line glowed as ancient circuits within the stone flared to life—designed once to allow sky roads, now turned into weapons.
The wall shook. The sea roared.
And a scar opened in the Red Line—large enough for a single armada to ascend.
But above them, a red light appeared in the clouds.
Heaven's Grief was awakening.
Sela gasped. "They're going to wipe the entire ridge. That's not a weapon—it's the world's reset button!"
Max looked up at the storm and smiled.
"Then we storm heaven before the thunder falls."
---
Final Scene – Revenant Armada Ascends
The fleet rose through the Reverse Gate, the Red Line parting before them like thunderclouds.
From above, golden light rained down. The first pulse of Heaven's Grief began charging.
Max pointed his blade at the summit of Mary Geoise.
"Tell the world… the Revenant is coming."
--- Location: Above the Red Line — Sky of Mary Geoise
The Revenant Armada had done the impossible. For the first time in 800 years, a force had risen above the Red Line not as tribute-payers to the Celestial Dragons—but as invaders.
The sky over Mary Geoise split with roaring clouds and violet lightning. Ancient defense towers awakened. Above, in orbit, the Heaven's Grief satellite—a colossal relic from the Void Century—began its final charge. The World Government's last weapon. The so-called Judgment of the Gods.
But none of this stopped the man standing on the prow of the lead ship.
Max D. Revenant stood at the front of the flagship Black Gale II, his sword pulsing with Titan Flame, his cloak embroidered with the sigil of the Broken Crown. His voice echoed louder than the thunder:
> "Let every kingdom, every island, every soul hear this:
I am Max D. Revenant.
I am not your pirate. I am not your king.
I am your reckoning."
---
Phase I – Operation Phoenix Begins
The Revenant Armada split into three fronts:
The Skybreak Front: Led by Revenant himself, tasked with entering the Empty Throne Chamber.
The Forge Front: Led by Argento and Riven, targeting Heaven's Grief's control tower on Summit Plateau.
The Sea of Flame Front: Led by Silver Haze Walden and Blackflame Rooks, charged with overwhelming the Seraphim and marine reinforcements.
The Five Elders descended from the Temple of Pangea, each in full Zoan Awakened form—monstrous, divine beasts that radiated black flame and immortality.
And above it all, watching from the Throne Room itself, cloaked in shifting shadows—
Imu.
---
Scene: The First Clash — Revenant vs. Saturn
The moment Max touched the soil of Mary Geoise, Saturn descended like a meteor, his awakened form a fusion of demonic ox and molten stone.
"Child of D… You should have died before you were born."
Max's eyes narrowed. "You should have stayed buried in the lie."
The battlefield shattered as the two collided. Max's blade, glowing with Soulbrand, met Saturn's claws in a seismic explosion that leveled an entire garden once reserved for Celestial feasts.
> Skill Activated: Revenant Cross — Titan Flame Variant
– Flame-lined X-slash imbued with King's Haki
– Can cleave through divine-scale regeneration
"REND!"
The strike sent Saturn reeling, bleeding black smoke. For the first time in centuries, an Elder bled.
---
Scene: Control Tower Assault — Argento vs. Saint Cipher
Meanwhile, Argento, disguised in shifting light armor, infiltrated the Memory Core Control Tower that controlled Heaven's Grief.
There she met Saint Cipher Aegis-0, a cyber-enhanced clone of an old CP0 legend. The clone moved at light-speed, wielding memory blades that erased thoughts on contact.
Argento activated her invention: the Mother Flame Disruptor Core, a replica designed using stolen Vegapunk schematics.
> "You stole the fire of truth. I'll make sure it burns you back."
After a harrowing duel through a collapsing spire of glass, Argento overloaded the control grid, causing Heaven's Grief's aim to wobble mid-charge.
Above them, the sky weapon shook violently.
> Heaven's Grief: Alignment ERROR. Primary Pulse Delayed.
---
Scene: The Final Path — Revenant Enters Pangea Castle
With Saturn defeated, Max cut a flaming path toward the Great Golden Gate of Pangea Castle.
He was met by the remaining Elders—each a beast from forgotten myths: a horned lion, a two-headed wolf, a serpent with wings.
But Max had come prepared.
He opened a small locket from his neck: Vegapunk's last memory crystal. When it shattered, the sky lit up and ghostly projections of the Ancient Kingdom's warriors appeared—encoded shadows of the past.
> "You built a world of lies," Max said. "I brought back the truth."
With the past on his side, and the will of those forgotten, Max unleashed a new skill:
> Ultimate Skill Unlocked: Kingdom's Fall (SS)
– Sword technique that fuses the Will of D, Titan Flame, and inherited memory
– Strikes down divine enemies by severing their memory-based immortality
In a flash of light, Max cleaved through the Elders' monstrous forms one by one—not killing them, but undoing their false existence. They crumbled into dust as echoes of the Void Century reclaimed them.
---
Scene: The Empty Throne
At last, Max entered the Throne Room.
The Empty Throne, towering and ancient, sat at the center. Around it, twelve swords once stuck into the base had been removed. And standing before it, cloaked in shadow…
Imu.
Their face was youthful, genderless, immortal—ageless eyes that had seen the rise and fall of the world. In one hand, Imu held the Thirteenth Sword, forged from the bones of the first king of the Great Kingdom.
> "You speak of freedom, Revenant," Imu whispered. "But you seek dominion."
> "No," Max said, lifting his blade. "I seek what you fear most—balance."
Then Imu struck.
---
Scene: Imu vs. Max — Battle of Wills
Their duel shattered the throne chamber. Imu wielded Chronoblade, a sword that could cut moments from the future, skipping seconds and sealing fates. But Max fought with the power of the present—the will of the people.
Strike after strike, memory after memory, Imu faded—not wounded by steel, but eroded by resistance.
At the final moment, as Heaven's Grief tried to fire again, Argento's disruptor core pulsed from the tower—
And Max leapt.
> "This world belongs to no god, no throne.
It belongs to those who remember."
His final slash severed Imu's blade—and pierced the throne behind them.
The impact shattered the throne. A shockwave of truth and fire engulfed Mary Geoise. Heaven's Grief exploded in the sky like a second sun.
---
Final Scene: The World Changes
The next morning, the Red Line split in two. Mary Geoise lay in ruins. The Celestial Dragons had fled.
Max D. Revenant stood atop the broken Empty Throne, raising no crown.
> "I will not sit.
I will not rule.
I will make sure no one does again."
And across the seas, every kingdom felt the ripple. A new age had begun.
--- Location: The Abyssal Sea, beneath the Grand Line
The world had changed. The Revenant Armada had taken the seat of power in Mary Geoise. The Celestial Dragons had scattered. The Five Elders were no more. And yet, the world trembled, not from the fall of the World Government, but from the knowledge of what lay hidden beneath the seas.
After the final battle at Mary Geoise, Max D. Revenant and his allies had celebrated their victory. However, as days passed, something gnawed at him. The Celestial Dragons were not the only ones pulling the strings for centuries. The true power, the final remnants of the ancient government's will, were rumored to be buried deep beneath the surface of the seas—inside an unknown city beneath the Grand Line, in a place called the Abyssal Depths.
---
Scene: The Revenant Fleet Prepares
Max stood on the deck of the flagship Black Gale II, staring at the horizon. The ocean had never felt more ominous. A sense of dread crept up his spine. The sky was clear, but the waters were as dark as the night.
He felt a presence behind him. Argento, his strategist, approached with her characteristic calm.
"We've picked up readings from the New World," Argento said, her voice steady as always. "There are anomalies beneath the sea. Hidden structures, but not natural ones. They've been active ever since you destroyed Heaven's Grief."
Max's eyes narrowed. "It's not over, is it?"
"No, Captain," she replied. "And I think you know that."
The memory of the final battle against Imu and the destruction of the Empty Throne weighed heavily on Max. The world was free—but something remained. Something deep in the shadows, beneath the very waters they sailed upon.
---
Scene: The Abyssal City — Journey to the Depths
Max, along with his closest allies, set sail towards the Abyssal Depths, a location whispered about in ancient texts but never confirmed by any surviving witnesses. Some said it was the final refuge of the Void Century's true rulers. Others spoke of a city where the real puppeteers had orchestrated the world's history from the shadows.
As they sailed deeper into the Grand Line, the weather turned strange. The sea grew unnaturally still. The waves barely moved. The horizon was swallowed by thick fog, and the air became oppressive.
At the edge of the sea, a deep chasm appeared—an entrance to the depths. The Black Gale II hovered just above the abyss, and Max's heart pounded. This was no normal sea.
> System Insight: Depths Unveiled
– Connection to an ancient city identified: City of the Forgotten Gods
– Ancients' Guardians detected: dormant, but dangerous
"Prepare the fleet for submergence," Max ordered, his voice firm. "Argento, Riven, you know the plan."
---
Scene: The City of the Forgotten Gods
Max and his crew descended into the chasm, the Black Gale II and several other ships slowly sinking into the depths. The ocean swallowed them whole, and the pressure from the deep sea increased as the ship dove lower.
A sudden glimmer of light pierced the darkness. Max's eyes widened as they saw it—an enormous underwater city, its architecture ancient and majestic, though half-sunken and covered in coral. Massive stone pillars rose from the sea floor, carved with intricate markings. Statues of forgotten deities lined the streets, their eyes glowing faintly with eerie, forgotten power.
It was here that the true rulers of the Void Century had once reigned.
Max stepped onto the sea floor, feeling the weight of the ocean pressing in on him. Despite the immense pressure, his Haki shielded him, allowing him to move freely. The rest of his crew followed closely behind, each of them on edge.
> System Alert: Activation of Ancient Defense Mechanisms
– Traps detected
– Potential enemies: Unknown
---
Scene: The Guardians Awaken
As Max and his crew explored the city, strange mechanical creatures began to stir. Ancient Guardians, once dormant for millennia, powered up with a hum that reverberated through the stone streets. These Automaton Sentinels, resembling monstrous sea creatures with clockwork bodies, were the last line of defense for the city.
Riven Voss, wielding his Shadow Striker, moved in quickly, taking down the first sentinel with a precise blow to its core. The metal monster collapsed into a heap, but more began to emerge from the depths of the city, their eyes glowing with eerie blue light.
> System Update: Evolutionary Algorithm Detected
– Sentinels adapt to enemy tactics.
– New strategy required.
"Don't let them overwhelm us!" Max shouted. "Sela, Walden—take the flanks! Riven, Argento, focus on the central control!"
The battle raged as Max and his crew fought off wave after wave of the Ancient Sentinels. Each enemy was stronger and more adaptive than the last, but the Revenant Generals were more than a match for them.
As the fight continued, Max's eyes remained focused on the central temple at the heart of the city. He could feel something—someone—waiting for him.
---
Scene: The Heart of the City — The Awakening of the True Power
Max led his team toward the temple, the air growing colder with every step. The city seemed alive now, its very architecture shifting, as if responding to their presence.
When they entered the temple, a massive stone door sealed shut behind them, trapping them inside. At the center of the room, atop a pedestal, lay an ancient, unearthly artifact: a stone tablet covered in the same markings found throughout the city.
> System Insight: Artifact: Key to the Void Century's Final Secret
– Unlocks the True Will of the Void Kings
– Imprint of the Elders' Memory: the final command of the Celestial Lineage
Max approached the pedestal, his heart racing. As he touched the stone, an intense surge of energy flooded his mind. His vision blurred, and suddenly, he was no longer standing in the temple.
He was transported through time.
> Vision Unlocked: The Rise of the Void Kings
– The first generation of Celestial Dragons did not rule through birthright but through conquest.
– The Void Kings were not gods, but tyrants who conquered the seas using ancient technology, manipulating the very fabric of time itself.
Max's mind raced as he saw the truth: The Void Century was not about the rise of the Celestial Dragons—it was about the fall of the first civilization. The true rulers, the Void Kings, had never been defeated. Instead, they had vanished beneath the sea, their power hidden away in the deep, their memory erased from the world.
The artifact in his hand was the key to their return—the key to unlocking their power.
---
Scene: The Final Revelation
Max pulled his hand back from the tablet as the ground shook. The Abyssal Depths began to quake as the dormant power of the Void Kings began to stir.
A voice echoed in Max's mind.
> "You… You are not their heir. You are their undoing."
The voice belonged to no one. It was the voice of the forgotten rulers, and it chilled him to his core.
Max's eyes flared with determination.
"No. I'm not here to inherit their will," Max growled. "I'm here to end it."
---
Scene: The Final Battle
The temple walls began to crack as the ground beneath them erupted. From the depths of the Abyss, ancient titans, beasts, and mechanical horrors rose, their eyes glowing with hatred.
Max drew his blade.
The final battle had begun.
The Revenant Armada fought against the awakened titans, but it was clear that Max would have to fight the greatest battle of his life alone. The artifact had awakened something inside him—a power that could rival even the forgotten kings.
---
Location: The Heart of the Abyssal City — The Temple of the Void Kings
Max stood in the heart of the ancient Temple of the Void Kings, his heart pounding in his chest. The artifact—the Stone Tablet of the Forgotten Kings—still glowed faintly in his hands, and its power surged through his veins like fire. But he wasn't sure how much longer he could control it.
The quaking continued beneath their feet, the very foundations of the Abyssal City trembling as ancient titans—creatures born from the depths of time itself—began to rise. The walls of the temple cracked and shattered, and the statues of long-forgotten gods began to twist, their eyes now glowing with a malevolent light.
A low rumble echoed through the air. The Titans of the Abyss were awakening. These were not mere machines or simple sea creatures—they were living relics, each one a god-like being forged in the deepest parts of the ocean during the Void Century. Their power was far beyond anything Max had encountered before.
---
Scene: The First Titan — The Colossus of the Depths
A massive shadow fell over the temple. Max turned, his eyes narrowing as a Titan emerged from the deepest part of the Abyss. It was a colossal, serpentine creature, its body made of an alien material—an amalgamation of stone, metal, and dark energy. Its scales were like jagged black rocks, and its eyes burned with an ancient, unstoppable fury.
Its roar was deafening as it lunged toward Max, its body coiling around the temple like a serpent.
Max gritted his teeth. His instincts flared, and the Titan Flame surged through his body. His sword—Soulbrand—glowed with the King's Haki, crackling with immense energy.
> Skill Activated: Revenant's Inferno Slash
– A slash of overwhelming fire and willpower, amplified by Haki
– Designed to cut through divine and natural barriers
Max swung his sword in a wide arc, sending a wave of flame toward the serpent-like titan. The flames engulfed the beast, and for a moment, it screamed, its roars drowned out by the crackling inferno.
But the beast was far from finished. Its body recoiled, and it began to regenerate, its wounds healing as quickly as they were inflicted. The ancient magic of the Abyssal Depths was not so easily defeated.
Max's eyes widened as he realized the true power of these titans. They were immortal—created by the Void Kings themselves to survive for eternity, to defend the deepest secrets of the ocean.
---
Scene: The Revenant Armada's Stand
"Hold your ground!" Max shouted to his crew as more titans began to rise from the ocean floor. These ancient creatures were not simply physical titans; they were the embodiment of the forgotten past—the power of the Void Kings. And Max knew that if they weren't stopped, the entire world would be plunged into darkness once again.
Argento, standing beside him, quickly formulated a plan.
"Riven, Sela, take the left flank!" she ordered. "Walden, you're with me. We need to disable their regeneration."
The battle was now fully underway. Sela and Riven moved swiftly, cutting through the lesser titans with precision. Their blades were a blur as they cleaved through the stone-and-metal bodies, but every strike was met with regeneration—each titan growing stronger as they fought.
Meanwhile, Walden and Argento focused on disabling the titans' core systems. Walden fired explosive Blackflame shots, igniting the very bones of the titans, while Argento used her Mother Flame Disruptor Core, a weapon designed specifically to interrupt energy regeneration.
But the titans were not their only enemies.
---
Scene: The Hidden Enemy — The Watchers of the Void
As the titans clashed with the Revenant crew, the shadows of the Abyssal City began to shift. Strange figures appeared in the corners of the room, cloaked in tattered black robes and shimmering with an ethereal energy. They were the Watchers of the Void, spectral entities that had guarded the secrets of the Abyss for millennia.
These beings were not of flesh and bone, but of pure willpower—embodiments of the Void Kings' ancient consciousness. Their eyes were hollow, glowing with the knowledge of the universe, and they radiated an aura of absolute power.
Max clenched his fists, his body tensing as he realized what they were.
"They're not just guarding the city… they're guarding the truth," Max muttered to himself. "The truth that I must end."
The Watchers moved with eerie precision, attacking the crew with blasts of Void energy that could disintegrate matter on contact. Each strike they made was a direct assault on the very fabric of reality, warping the space around them.
Max charged forward, his sword glowing brighter than ever as he clashed with one of the Watchers.
> Skill Activated: Revenant's Will — Void Splitter
– A technique combining Soulbrand and Void Flame
– The strike not only cuts through the Watcher's defenses but severs their connection to the Void Realm
The blow landed with a thunderous crack, severing the Watcher's existence from the realm. The entity screamed in agony before disintegrating into nothingness.
But there were more—many more.
---
Scene: Max's Revelation — The True Power of the Void Kings
As Max fought, he felt a surge of memories flooding his mind, memories that weren't his own. The Stone Tablet in his hand began to hum with power, and the words of the Void Kings echoed in his mind:
> "You are not the heir to our throne.
You are the inheritor of our end."
Max's grip tightened on Soulbrand. The battle was not just against the titans or the Watchers. It was a fight against the very legacy of the Void Kings—a fight to undo the cycle of destruction they had set in motion.
A figure appeared in the distance—the leader of the Watchers, a towering figure with a crown of black flame and eyes that burned with the remnants of ancient knowledge. It was the last of the Void Kings, risen from the depths.
"You are not meant to be here, Revenant," the Void King boomed, its voice echoing like a thousand thunderclaps.
Max took a step forward, his voice steady and resolute.
"No. You are not meant to rule anymore."
---
Scene: The Final Clash — Revenant vs. the Void King
The Void King raised its hand, summoning a massive void storm, a hurricane of pure, destructive energy. It crackled with the remnants of the Void Century, the power of the kings who had once ruled the seas.
Max's eyes burned with determination. He could feel the will of the people behind him—the will of those who had fought for freedom, for a world where no one would ever wield such power again.
He raised Soulbrand, the blade now glowing with all the power of the Revenant Flame, the King's Haki, and the Void Flame. The sword surged with energy as Max channeled every ounce of his strength into one final strike.
> Skill Activated: Revenant's Judgment — Ultimate Void Requiem
– The final, world-shattering strike
– Designed to sever the connection between the Void Kings and the present reality
Max charged forward, his sword flashing through the storm. The Void King attempted to block, but it was too late. With a single, devastating strike, Max cut through the Void King's barrier and pierced its chest, severing the connection between the king and the power it had once commanded.
The Void King screamed in agony, its body disintegrating into pure energy as the last of the Abyssal Titans collapsed, its power fading into nothingness.
---
Scene: The Aftermath — A New Dawn
The temple shook violently as the Void King and its titans crumbled to nothing. The Abyssal Depths began to collapse around them, the ancient city breaking apart as the remnants of the Void Kings' power were undone.
Max stood over the ruins, his breath heavy, his body exhausted. The battle was over. The world was no longer under the shadow of the Void Kings.
Argento approached, her eyes filled with respect and relief. "It's done. The last of the Void Kings is gone."
Max nodded, his expression solemn. "It was never about ruling. It was about ending the endless cycle of destruction."
He turned his eyes to the horizon as the first rays of dawn pierced through the dark waters, casting light upon the ruins of the Abyssal City. Location: The Ruins of the Abyssal City — Dawn Breaking
The sky above the Abyssal Depths was once a storm of darkness, filled with the violent churn of the world's buried secrets. But now, it was beginning to clear. The shattered remnants of the ancient city, once hidden deep beneath the Grand Line, crumbled into the abyss below. The titans had fallen. The Void Kings' reign of terror was over.
Max D. Revenant stood at the precipice of the ruins, his breath steady, his body worn from the battle. The power that had once ruled the seas—the ancient Void Kings, the titans, and the Watchers—was now nothing but dust.
Argento, Riven, and the rest of the crew of the Revenant Armada approached, their faces etched with exhaustion and triumph. The air felt different now, free from the weight of the dark forces that had bound the world for centuries.
Argento placed a hand on Max's shoulder, her expression unreadable but filled with a sense of finality. "It's over, Captain. The Abyss has fallen. The Void Kings are no more."
Max's gaze softened. He looked toward the surface, where the world awaited his return. "No," he said softly, "it's only just begun."
---
Scene: The Return to the Surface — A New Era
The Revenant Armada resurfaced, emerging from the depths of the Abyssal City. The ships crested the surface of the ocean, breaking through the water's surface with a roar, as if the seas themselves had been released from a long, suffocating grip.
Max stood on the deck of his flagship, the Black Gale II, as the first rays of sunlight illuminated the vast ocean. The world had changed. The long, shadowed reign of the World Government, the Celestial Dragons, and the Void Kings was over. The oceans were no longer bound by an ancient and unseen power.
But with that freedom came uncertainty. The Revenant Armada sailed toward the Sabaody Archipelago, the meeting point where the world's factions were about to converge—pirates, marines, revolutionaries, and kings—all would have their say in the world that was about to rise from the ashes of the old regime.
---
Scene: Sabaody Archipelago — The World's Eye
The Sabaody Archipelago had always been a place of chaos. It was a hub where the most dangerous pirates, bounty hunters, and revolutionaries converged, a place where the World Government kept a tight hold over the world's affairs. Now, the archipelago felt like a turning point—like the tipping of a great scale.
Max stood on the deck, watching as the Revenant Armada approached the archipelago, their fleet dwarfed by the monumental forces gathering on the islands. On one side, the World Government still maintained its oppressive fleet and fortified positions. On the other, the revolutionaries and pirates prepared for a new world—one without the iron grip of the Celestial Dragons.
Max's crew was no longer just a ragtag group of misfits—they were the new leaders of this world. They had toppled the greatest empires, defeated the Void Kings, and now, it was time for them to unite the scattered factions and forge a future without tyranny.
As they docked at the archipelago, the crews disembarked, gathering on the island. Max, alongside Argento, Riven, Sela, and the rest of his generals, faced the array of representatives waiting for them. Among them were Monkey D. Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionaries, and several of the most notorious pirates from the Grand Line, including Red-Haired Shanks and Blackbeard—each of them eager to shape the new world in their own image.
---
Scene: The Great Gathering — A New World's Dawn
Max's footsteps echoed in the open space as he made his way toward the gathering of leaders. Dragon, his face stern and battle-hardened, was the first to step forward, his eyes sharp but respectful.
"Max D. Revenant," Dragon greeted, his voice steady. "You've done the impossible. The world is finally free of the Void Kings and their puppets."
Max nodded solemnly. "This world can finally breathe again. But it won't be easy. Freedom is not given—it's earned."
Dragon's lips curled slightly into a smile. "We agree on that, then. The revolution will not end with the fall of the World Government. It will continue until every kingdom is free to govern itself."
Max turned his gaze to Shanks, who had been watching silently from a distance. The pirate captain was known for his diplomacy and influence, but there was a fire in his eyes that spoke of a future he intended to shape.
"You've freed us all," Shanks said with a smile. "But what now? What's your plan for this new world?"
Max's eyes flashed. "We build it from the ground up. Every kingdom, every faction, every pirate crew—we will form an alliance, a council, to ensure no single power rules the seas again. We will distribute power evenly among the people, and ensure that no one, not even a king, can enslave the world again."
Riven stepped forward, adding, "We will create a new structure, a council of leaders. No more World Government. No more absolute power. Each kingdom and faction will have a say in the future."
Max paused, his eyes scanning the group. "But we cannot act alone. We need everyone here, and we need to unite the scattered islands. No more divisions. Only a united world can keep the peace."
---
Scene: The First Move — Gathering Allies
The leaders of the pirate factions, revolutionaries, and kingdoms agreed to Max's plan, though not without hesitation. For centuries, the world had been divided, and the wounds of past betrayals ran deep. But there was no turning back. The old powers were gone. Now, it was time for the people to decide their own fate.
Max and his crew traveled to various islands, speaking with leaders, forging alliances, and laying the foundation for the Council of Freedom—an organization that would govern the world through democracy and equality. Shanks lent his influence to broker peace with former enemies, while Dragon rallied the revolutionaries to help dismantle the remnants of the old regime.
Everywhere they went, people cheered. The long nightmare of the World Government's tyranny had finally ended. Max was no longer just a symbol of rebellion—he was the architect of the new world.
---
Scene: The Battle for the Future — Struggle and Betrayal
But even in this new age of freedom, there were those who resisted. Some old enemies refused to let go of their power, and new threats began to emerge. Blackbeard, ever the opportunist, began rallying rogue pirates to his cause, aiming to seize the power vacuum left by the fall of the World Government.
Max knew this would be the next test. The world had been freed, but peace was not guaranteed. The struggle for power had only shifted, not ended.
In the shadows, a new alliance began to form—an alliance of pirates and factions that would seek to challenge Max's vision. And among them were remnants of the Celestial Dragons—hidden away, preparing for their final move.
Max and his generals would need to act swiftly. The new world would be built, not in a single day, but over time—and it would require constant vigilance.
---
Scene: The Voice of the People — A New Era Begins
Max stood before the gathered masses in Marie Geoise, the former seat of the Celestial Dragons. The world was watching. The people of the islands, the kingdoms, and the seas had all gathered to hear the voice of the man who had changed everything.
Max raised his hand, and the crowd fell silent.
"The era of tyranny is over," he said, his voice carrying across the gathered masses. "From today forward, we are no longer subjects—we are citizens of a new world. The Council of Freedom will govern the seas. We will stand together, not as kings and subjects, but as equals. No power will ever rule over us again. Together, we will build a new world."
The crowd erupted in cheers, the roar of the people echoing across the seas.
Max D. Revenant had fulfilled his destiny. The World Government was gone. The Void Kings had been vanquished. And the seas would never be the same.
