Marineford – Marshal's Office
“Marshal Carlos, I’m curious as to why you’ve called me here.”
Kizaru, looking laid-back as usual, spread his hands with a helpless expression.
“I've received word that the Five Elders are on their way. I believe it concerns you.”
“The commander of the Revolutionary Army’s Western Army, Crow, has the same Devil Fruit abilities as me. And with their numbers, it’s only natural th...

Yasopp raised his sniper rifle but hesitated, unable to pull the trigger.
“Damn it! There’s no way to hit him!”
“There wasn’t even a physical clash, yet the sheer force of their Haki created such a terrifying scene. It’s hard to believe humans can wield such power…”
Known as a sniper genius for his perfect shots, Yasopp found himself doubting for the first time.
Beckman exhaled a puff of smoke, speaking calmly:
"It’s not surprising. From Kaido...

In the Champions League final, a red card had been shown, and while the referee faced immense pressure, he stood firm and sent Ajar off.
The decision was final, regardless of the controversy surrounding it—Chelsea now had to play with one fewer player.
Conte, initially furious, realized he needed to keep his composure as the team’s coach.
"Should we change tactics?" asked Chelsea’s assistant coach, Holland, carefully.
Ajar had been crucial in defending on the win...

Cardiff, the capital of Wales, part of the United Kingdom.
The city has a population of nearly 500,000 and covers an area of 190 square kilometers, about the size of three and a half Tongliao cities.
On the day of the Champions League final, almost every resident heard the roar from the city center—echoing up to the sky!
"What’s going on?"
"It’s probably the Champions League final today."
"It’s a shame we couldn’t get tickets. The square is full, too."<...

Lucky Roux’s massive body leaped from the deck, spinning violently through the air before crashing down.
Despite his enormous size, his movements were surprisingly swift.
Encased in Armament Haki, the enormous figure seemed like an unstoppable iron ball, ready to crush everything in its path!
At the same time, a fierce wind howled from the left.
Benn Beckman was already on deck, side by side with his monkey companion.

New World, Somewhere in the Sea
A pirate ship sailed swiftly across the ocean, with six Marine warships trailing behind. Yet, not a single Marine was visible on their decks.
The pirates aboard the ship were drinking, feasting, and celebrating with a lively banquet.
“How’s this, huh? Being a pirate is way more fun than being a Marine, don’t you think?” Kaido grinned, downing a large gulp of wine and wiping his mouth.
“You’ve got some ner...

Catalonia, City of Barcelona
In a luxurious mansion nestled in an affluent area of Barcelona, several people sat quietly in the spacious living room, their eyes fixed on the large screen. No one said a word, and the only sound in the room came from the lively and energetic commentary blaring through the speakers, filling the otherwise silent space.
"Real Madrid on the attack!" the commentator exclaimed.
"Casemiro passes to Modric! Modric has the ball, and...

In the changing room of Cardiff's Millennium Stadium, the Real Madrid stars were preparing individually for the big game.
After warming up, most of them were sitting shirtless in their seats.
Marcelo, with his signature afro, was wearing headphones, dancing to the beat of the music he was listening to.
Benzema, a devout Muslim, had laid out a small prayer mat and was kneeling to pray.
Toni Kroos was by the mirror, doing what he did best—slicking back his hair wit...

As soon as Kaido's words were spoken, the entire area fell into a stunned silence.
The onlookers, including the likes of Vasco Shot and the Avalo Pizarro, exchanged glances, swallowing nervously. Kaido’s proposal had left them shaken.
This wasn't just about a billion or even ten billion.
He had mentioned 100 billion Berries!
Even a wealthy nation would need years to amass such a fortune, and he had limited the challenge to just one month.

"In that case, I’ll have to show you some real skills!"
As he looked up at the massive shadow that covered the sky, Carlos was brimming with excitement.
With a thought, his body rapidly expanded and transformed into a thousand-meter-long green dragon.
He unleashed a torrent of scorching flames, which blasted through the giant’s arm.
At this stage of the battle, both co...

Humans have many fascinating characteristics. For example, there's the law of diminishing marginal utility, or how the dopamine threshold keeps rising.
Last week, after winning the Premier League title, the entire Chelsea team partied hard. They rented out a nightclub for a celebration, and everyone stayed on a high for two or three days before things finally calmed down.
During this time, Su Luo got into some trouble due to juggling too much at once.

The sudden arrival of the dragon caused a stir across Beehive Island.
Whether it was sailors unloading cargo at the docks or drunkards stumbling out of taverns, all eyes turned to the sky, filled with unease and tension.

In reality, the FA Cup final should have featured Arsenal.
In the original timeline, Manchester City and Arsenal were evenly matched in the FA Cup semi-finals. The game was fiercely contested, with both teams giving it their all. Aguero managed to break through Arsenal’s defense and score, but Chamberlain soon assisted Monreal to equalize.
The match remained tied until extra time, when Arsenal eventually triumphed over Manchester City to reach the final against Chelsea.

Josephine was still living in Su Luo's mansion. At least, according to her, she had a reason.
“I need to keep an eye on you. I don’t care about myself, but the club has been overworking you. If anything seems off, I can send you for a check-up right away.”
“It’s definitely not because I’m accepting your absurd excuses,” she added with a pout.

Fujitora could more or less guess what Carlos was thinking.
Recruiting soldiers was likely in preparation for the next phase of the Marine's operations in the New World.
Before, this might not have been an issue.
But now, things had changed.
Not long ago, Carlos had doubled the soldier's salaries and introduced several welfare policies.
Carlos waved his hand dismissively. "You don’t need to worry about finances. As Marine Marshal, that’s my responsibility."

There were 7 days left until the FA Cup final and 14 days until the Champions League final. The timing was perfect—one game each week. It gave the players enough time to maintain their form without being too fatigued before their biggest matches.
Chelsea had already navigated through the most grueling part of the season, which saw them competing on four fronts. Despite injuries to key players, Su Luo practical...

Kaido's other abilities were as expected, but what surprised Carlos was that Kaido had pushed the Fish-Fish Fruit's development to the ultimate level. Could it be that what Big Mom originally gave Kaido was just an ordinary Zoan-type Fish-Fish Fruit?

Vegapunk's concerns were valid. What Carlos was proposing was essentially poaching—taking Vegapunk away from the World Government. The Five Elders poured tens of billions of beli into Vegapunk's research every year, so it was unlikely they would agree easily.
But Carlos had a plan. He smiled as he pulled out a special Den Den Mushi used to communicate directly with the Five Elders. After a moment, Saint Saturn's deep voice came through.
