Why would a Saint Seiya become a pirate?

After interacting with his best friend Bucky on camera during the live stream, he walked towards Blackbeard.

"Teach, no, Blackbeard, are you sure you still want to fight?"

As Shanks finished speaking, the scene fell silent instantly, as if even the air itself had frozen.

Hawkeye silently sheathed his sword, glanced at Zephyr in his golden armor, and then turned and left in silence.

Well, the person he was waiting for didn't come.

"Hehehe, I have obtained what I wanted. Now is not the time to fight you."

"Let's go, boys."

As Blackbeard spoke, he transformed into a black curtain, enveloping his crew, and vanished as a shadow.

On the high platform, "Ponyo," who was watching the melon, wiped her mouth.

Seeing that the matter was over, he glanced reluctantly at the big bear beside him and silently followed Fanny away.

……

Former Navy Admiral Zephyr, along with the Saint Seiya and the Red-Haired Pirates, suddenly appeared on the battlefield, bringing the war to a complete end.

Trafalgar Law, who rescued Luffy, took advantage of the Navy's surprise to let Luffy and Jinbe board his ship to escape Marineford.

Although Aokiji, Kizaru, and Akainu are still unwilling to let Luffy go easily.

However, under Zephyr's intimidation, they did not dare to attack the Heart Pirates' submarine.

Shanks also took the opportunity to tell everyone his purpose in coming to the battlefield.

He walked up to Marco and the others and patted Marco on the shoulder.

"Marco, stop fighting. You've already done your best, and Whitebeard and Ace don't want to see you continue fighting like this."

Marco looked at Shanks, his face ashen, barely suppressing the tears welling in his eyes, and nodded.

Ze Law is watching the naval personnel he has trained.

"My fellow naval officers, this war is over."

"I hope you can also stop attacking, give me some face, and let this tragedy come to an end."

The marines looked at Zeff and Shanks, and although they were somewhat reluctant, they all put down their weapons.

Navy is navy, pirates are pirates.

Everyone goes back to their own homes, each looking for his own mother.

Shanks was entrusted with the affairs of Whitebeard and Ace after their deaths.

They were all great pirates and deserve the respect they were given.

Although the navy personnel were somewhat dissatisfied, they did not voice any objections.

And so, thanks to the efforts of Zeff and Shanks, the long-running Marineford War finally came to a complete end.

Upon hearing the news of the war's end, people all over the world couldn't help but cheer loudly.

They were relieved that the war was over and saddened by those who lost their lives in it.

However, the Navy's victory may not bring only peace. With the disappearance of the Whitebeard threat, the New World will also lose its balance.

During his lifetime, Whitebeard maintained order in the New World through his immense strength and prestige.

Now that he's gone, those pirates who covet his position will surely be eager to make their move.

The new world will inevitably descend into an even more intense conflict.

Furthermore, Whitebeard's words before his death confirmed that ONE PIECE truly exists!

This news was like a bombshell, causing a huge uproar in the pirate world.

Pirates from all over the world are preparing to set sail in search of the great treasure he spoke of.

They hope to find ONE PIECE and become the new Pirate King.

On the other hand, Trafalgar Law successfully rescued Luffy and Jinbe.

However, Luffy's situation is not optimistic. In addition to his physical injuries, the emotional blow he has suffered is even more incalculable.

The pain of losing Ace was like a sharp knife, piercing his heart deeply.

Although Luo's treatment saved his life, he still showed no signs of waking up.

To evade capture by the Navy, Hancock and the others decided to send Luffy to Amazon Lily, the island of women, for recuperation.

Daughter Island is a place inhabited only by women. It has a beautiful and secluded environment and is a good place for recuperation.

But because of this, Law's pirate crew had to stay on Amazon Lily with Luffy.

However, there is one rule on Daughter Island: men are not allowed to enter.

This has put everyone in a difficult position.

Although Grandma New insisted on not allowing men to enter Daughter Island, she came up with a compromise.

That is to have Law's pirate crew anchor their ship at the bay of Amazon Lily.

This way, Luffy can be taken care of without violating the rules of Amazon Lily.

And so, Law's pirate crew anchored their ship at the shore of Amazon Lily.

Hancock sends someone to visit Luffy every day, bringing him medicine and food.

Jinbe woke up quickly.

That day, Luffy, who had just woken up from a series of nightmares, frantically searched for Ace everywhere, as if he had not yet recovered from the shock of losing Ace.

His eyes were filled with confusion and pain, and he kept shouting.

"Ace, Ace, where are you?"

At that moment, a man appeared in front of him and punched Luffy in the face.

……

Chapter 97 Luffy and the Pegasus Soul, the crew's worries!

"Who are you? Why are you hitting me?"

Luffy was somewhat stunned by the sudden punch.

He covered his face while glaring angrily at the stranger in front of him, his eyes filled with confusion and grievance.

"You've been brought down by such a small setback? How shameful!"

The man responded bluntly, his eyes filled with disappointment.

"What do you know? Ace is dead!"

Luffy's voice instantly rose several octaves, his emotions so intense he almost jumped up, and tears welled up in his eyes again.

The pain of losing Ace was like a sharp knife, piercing his heart once again.

"Everyone dies, but Saints won't lose the courage to throw a punch because of that!"

As the man spoke, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and then he punched Luffy in the face again.

This punch seemed to carry some kind of magical power, and Luffy's mind was suddenly flooded with even more terrifying memories.

He saw his dearest friends, teachers, and lovers, who were as insignificant as ants before those gods, at their mercy.

However, the version of myself in my memory stood up again and again, raising my fist without hesitation.

Fall down, get up, throw a punch, and repeat this over and over again, without getting tired.

Finally, Luffy spotted a familiar figure: Fanny.

He actually got up from the ground!

With all his might, he punched the man who claimed to be the supreme god in the face, sending him flying!

……

Meanwhile, after the Marineford War between the Navy and the pirates ended, Garp, who was on vacation, returned to Windmill Village.

This quiet little village witnessed Luffy and Ace's growth and holds countless beautiful memories for them.

When the villagers learned of Kapu's return, they flocked to the streets to warmly welcome him.

Everyone's faces were filled with joyful smiles, as if the shadow of war had never shrouded this place.

Just as the atmosphere was joyful and peaceful, Dadan, who had come down from the mountain to the windmill village, suddenly appeared in front of Kapu.

Her face was terribly grim, and her eyes burned with fury.

Dadan couldn't understand why Garp didn't help Ace in his time of need. Like an enraged lioness, she rushed forward and beat Garp without saying a word.

"Garp, you bastard! Why didn't you save Ace? Why?"

Dadan cried and questioned him, tears streaming down her face and dripping onto the ground.

It seemed to be telling of endless grief and anger.

Garp silently endured Dadan's punches, neither retaliating nor offering any explanation.

His eyes were filled with pain and self-blame, as if he had been torn to pieces.

He knew that he could never heal Dadan's wounds or bring Ace back to life.

After Makino's kind persuasion, Dadan finally stopped.

She wiped away her tears and said, choking back sobs.

"Garp, I hate you!"

"But from now on, I am willing to fully support Luffy in becoming a pirate. I want him to realize his dream and let Ace's spirit rest in peace!"

"Um, I'm still alive..."

Just then, a man with a face full of freckles appeared in front of everyone.

"what?!"

"Ghost!!!"
