One Piece: The user of the Nen-Nen Fruit, who overturned the sea.

Day three.

Judiciary Island, Grand Courtroom.

Inside the magnificent stone building, there was a solemn and oppressive atmosphere.

On the high bench, three judges, dressed in black robes, looked down expressionlessly.

Both sides were filled with officials from world governments, naval officers, and reporters from major media outlets.

In the dock in the center of the hall, the fishman Tom was chained by heavy sea stone shackles.

The generous shipbuilder looked somewhat haggard, but his eyes remained resolute.

"The defendant, Tom, was the former head of the Water Seven shipyard."

The presiding judge's cold voice echoed in the hall.

He is currently charged with multiple offenses:

First, to build the pirate ship "Oro Jackson" for Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King;

Second, he built ships for many pirates, including Roy "Tendou" with a bounty of over one billion Berries;

Third, he is suspected of participating in the research and preservation of the design drawings for the ancient weapon "Pluto";

Fourth, refusing to cooperate with the World Government and obstructing official business…

Each charge was clearly listed, and each one was sufficient to warrant a severe sentence.

Quiet murmurs arose from the audience.

Journalists frantically documented the proceedings, and the camera-transmitting snails faithfully broadcast images of the trial around the world—exactly the effect the world government desired.

This is a warning to anyone who dares to cooperate with pirates.

"Defendant, what is your defense against these charges?" the judge asked.

Tom raised his head and said in a loud voice:

"I built ships for Roger because I was just a shipbuilder."

"As for Captain Roy... he paid for it, I built the ship, it's business!"

"Are there also ancient weapon design drawings?"

I've already said I don't have such a thing at all; it's all nonsense!

Tom angrily brandished the chain in his hand.

The judges remained unmoved by this scene.

"The defendant's defense cannot overturn the conclusive evidence."

The presiding judge struck the gavel.

"The verdict is now announced: Defendant Tom is found guilty and sentenced to—"

Before he could finish speaking, a sudden change occurred.

All the camera Den Den Mushi screens in the hall suddenly flickered violently, then turned into static.

Reporters in the gallery gasped in surprise, and viewers around the world watched the suddenly interrupted live broadcast with bewilderment.

"What's going on?!"

"The signal is lost!"

"Is it a technical malfunction?"

In the very instant the chaos first appeared—

boom!!!

A deafening explosion came from the direction of Maejima, shaking the entire Enies Lobby.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" The alarm blared.

The courtroom doors were flung open, and a naval captain rushed in, his face deathly pale.

"Report! Maejima is under attack! Intruders... Intruders confirmed, it's the 'Roy Pirates'!"

"What?!"

The three judges suddenly stood up, and the audience erupted in chaos.

Roy Pirates!

That super rookie with a bounty of over a billion!

They actually dared to attack Enies Lobby?!

"Immediately enter Level 1 combat readiness status!"

The presiding judge roared,

"Contact Marine Headquarters for backup! We cannot let these pirates escape!"

But at that moment, the ceiling of the courtroom suddenly exploded!

Amidst the flying debris, three figures descended from the sky, landing steadily in the center of the courtroom.

A young captain dressed in black, a great swordsman wielding a black blade, and a demonic descendant exuding a terrifying aura.

"I apologize for interrupting your trial."

Roy's calm voice echoed throughout the room, his gaze sweeping across the room before finally settling on Tom.

"Master Tom, I've come to pick you up."

------

Judicial Island, Maejima Island.

Five young figures wreaked havoc in the port area.

"Storm Kick: Chaos!"

Savi's legs blurred into afterimages as dozens of slashes flew towards the naval position, blasting the artillery array to pieces.

Two years of training greatly improved his mastery of the Six Styles, especially the combination of Tempest Kick and Shave, which allowed him to move like a ghost on the battlefield.

"Thunder Cloud Ten Thousand Thunders!"

Enel hovered in mid-air, arms outstretched, as countless bolts of lightning struck down from the dark clouds above his head.

He is not a user of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, but with his development, the Cloud-Cloud Fruit can now simulate power close to that of a Logia-type Devil Fruit.

Lightning struck like rain, scorching the marines who were trying to assemble.

"Plant Mania!"

Pea pressed her hands to the ground, and green light spread out. Various plants surged wildly from the cracks in the harbor floor.

— Resilient vines entangled the marines' ankles, carnivorous plants opened their massive mouths to devour them, and thorny brambles blocked the way.

The entire foreshore island was transformed into a primeval jungle within minutes.

"Fishman Karate - Five Thousand Tiles Straight Fist!"

Charon unleashed a punch, and the terrifying shockwave sank a naval warship that was attempting to leave port for reinforcements.

Seawater flooded in, causing chaos at the port.

"Sound of an arrow!"

Yamato wielded his spiked club "A-Jen," delivering a basic yet powerful strike that sent the charging naval officer flying, sword and all.

Although she is the youngest, her Oni physique combined with Kaido's tutelage has made her strength comparable to that of ordinary naval officers.

Following Roy's instructions, the five young men created the largest possible chaos to draw the attention of the defenders.

Their tactics were clearly successful.

"Report! The garrison on the front island has suffered over 30% casualties! Requesting reinforcements!"

"The enemy is a member of the Roy Pirates! Their strength far exceeds expectations!"

"Communication systems are under interference! Unable to contact the main island or the Tower of Justice!"

The former island commander—a rear admiral—looked at the mess before him with a grim expression.

He originally thought they were just a few arrogant new pirates, but he didn't expect to suffer a great loss as soon as they fought.

These young people are not only individually strong, but also work together seamlessly.

Enel's aerial dominance, Pea's overall field control, and Savage, Charon, and Yamato's close-range breakthroughs constitute a perfect tactical system.

"Don't panic! Organize a counterattack!"

The major general roared,

"They only have five men! Overwhelm them with sheer numbers!"

But just then, a golden bolt of lightning ripped through the sky.

Tezzolo appeared atop the port lighthouse, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

"Hey, it's not good to bully the weak with numbers!"

He raised his hand, arcs of electricity dancing on his fingertips.

"Electromagnetic pulse - full-band interference!"

Invisible electromagnetic waves spread out from him.

Instantly, all electronic devices on the island—communicators, monitoring Den Den Mushi, and automatic defense systems—failed.

Even the mechanical watches worn by the marines stopped turning.

"Now, it's truly time to 'disconnect'~"

Tesoro vanished in a flash of lightning, only to reappear in front of the Rear Admiral a moment later.

"You—" The major general's pupils constricted sharply, and he drew his sword to strike.

But the blade stopped an inch from Tesoro's throat—not out of mercy.

Instead, he was paralyzed all over and unable to move.

"A rear admiral? His strength is passable."

Tesoro gently patted the major general on the shoulder, and a high-voltage current was injected.

The major general's eyes rolled back, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

"The commander has fallen!"

"Retreat! Retreat!"

The morale of the garrison on the island completely collapsed.
