One Piece World Recap!

During the Sabaody Archipelago incident, Shen Jue, then Admiral Xuanxie, led more than one-third of the original Navy personnel, including Admiral Kizaru and Admiral Aokiji, to leave the Navy.

Under Shen Jue's leadership, the group established a new navy at the entrance to the new world, and Shen Jue became the new navy admiral.

The new Navy launched simultaneous attacks on two of the Four Emperors of the Sea: the Big Mom Pirates and the Beasts Pirates.

The two great pirate crews were utterly destroyed, and the new Navy took over more than half of the New World.

Now, Shen Jue, accompanied only by Hina and Shirahoshi, has come to Elbaf, the giant kingdom known as the strongest country in the world!

Shen Jue stood at the bow of the ship, his hands hanging naturally at his sides, his gaze sweeping across the vast blue waves and landing on the increasingly clear giant island.

He slowly exhaled, as if making a very casual decision, a flash of black and red light appearing in the depths of his pupils.

The next moment, Shen Jue released a trace of Conqueror's Haki that was insignificant to him.

Without any warning of a violent storm, the entire sea surface suddenly seemed to be pressed down by an invisible giant hand, and abruptly caved in!

Centered on this ship, the seawater within a radius of several kilometers suddenly dropped several meters, forming a huge circular depression!

The waves rolled outwards, scattering and surging as if fleeing for their lives!

Immediately afterwards, the sky changed color.

The clear blue sky above Elbaf was suddenly split open with dozens of dark cracks!

The clouds rolled to both sides, revealing a crack that stretched across the sky, as if even the heavens themselves could not bear the force of this attack!

Deep within the crack, dark red lightning flickered silently, casting the entire sea area in alternating light and shadow.

In the distance, flocks of seabirds plunged into the sea, while nearby, schools of fish floated to the surface, belly up.

Bai Xing's face turned pale, and her legs went weak. If she hadn't been holding onto the ship's railing, she would have collapsed.

She had never felt such a terrifying aura before, a feeling that as if the whole world was about to collapse and even her breath was about to be crushed, filling her blue eyes with fear.

Hina bit her lip, and the cigarette between her fingers was blown out by the wind.

Her legs trembled slightly, but she still managed to stand still. However, the look in her eyes as she gazed at Shen Jue's back revealed an indescribable complex emotion.

"Brother Shen Jue, Rina thinks it's a little too much." Her voice carried a hint of doubt.

Shen Jue said calmly, "Since we're going to Elbaf, we should at least give them a heads-up."

"I've tried my best to be gentle."

He paused, then continued, "Giants worship warriors. Rather than explaining to them one by one after we land on the island, it's better to let them know who we are first."

Bai Xing asked timidly in a low voice, "Lord Shen Jue, is this really necessary?"

"Don't worry." Shen Jue turned around and smiled at her, and the terrifying aura that had permeated the world subsided by most of its intensity in that instant.

"It won't hurt anyone, it's just to give those old guys a heads-up."

Elbaf Island.

The massive tree trunk trembled, and the wild beasts in the forest lay prostrate on the ground; even the birds dared not flap their wings.

In the mortal realm, several tall figures stood up simultaneously.

The two giant warriors who were fighting in the arena froze in mid-air, and were then forced to kneel on one knee by the pressure that descended from the sky.

Their pupils contracted sharply, and veins bulged on their foreheads, yet they couldn't even lift their heads.

"That aura! Who is this person?!"

"An external enemy? It's not murderous intent, but it's far more terrifying than any murderous intent!"

"The sky has cracked open!"

Several powerful giant warriors simultaneously looked towards the sea.

They could feel that aura washing over the entire island like a tide, carrying a confident composure and making no attempt to conceal its presence.

"This level of Conqueror's Haki." An old giant with white hair and beard slowly rose, leaning on his battle axe, his eyes filled with shock.

"I have lived for over a hundred years, and I have only experienced this through those two people."

He didn't say the name, but everyone present knew who he was talking about.

Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King.

And one of the Four Emperors, Shanks the Red-Haired.

At this moment, the owner of this aura was even more powerful and unfathomable than them.

On a rocky platform on the east coast of Elbaf.

A rough stone table, several barrels of strong liquor brewed by the giants, and two old men sitting facing each other.

One of them wore round-framed glasses, had long, loose silver hair, and a vertical scar above his right eye.

He was dressed in a simple floral shirt and shorts, with slippers on his feet. If it weren't for his furrowed brow, he would have looked no different from an ordinary elderly person on vacation.

It was none other than Rayleigh, the King of the Underworld.

Sitting opposite him was a robust, white-haired but vigorous old man.

His attire was equally casual; he was shirtless, his muscles were like cast iron, and there were several old scars on his chest. He was holding a huge wine glass in his hand.

Jabba, the former right-hand man of the Pirate King and the first pirate to attend university.

"Something formidable has arrived," Jabba squinted, gazing towards the sea.

Rayleigh didn't answer immediately. He put down his wine glass, his gaze piercing through the layers of rocks and trees, as if he could see the approaching ship and the figure of the young man on its bow.

He suddenly smiled, a smile tinged with helplessness and a sigh.

"This aura..."

Jabba turned his head: "You know him?"

"Who else could it be but that man?" Rayleigh sighed, leaned back in his chair, and crossed his legs.

"I've already hidden here, are you really going to send a naval admiral to attack me?"

He shook his head, then corrected himself, "Oh no, I should say the new admiral."

Upon hearing this, Jabba nearly spat out his drink: "The new Fleet Admiral? That brat who turned the New World upside down?"

"You can't call him a brat." Rayleigh picked up his glass, took a sip, and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

"It is said that Kaido and Charlotte Linlin are two monsters."

"They couldn't even last a minute against that tyrant."

Jabba was silent for a moment, then grinned: "Are you scared?"

"Afraid?" Rayleigh laughed heartily.

"certainly."

"That's an absolute monster, possibly far surpassing any other powerful being on this vast ocean!"

"Aside from that being, I don't know who else can be Shen Jue's opponent."

He raised his glass to a woman walking out from under the shade of a tree not far away: "Xia Qi, it seems our vacation is coming to an end."

Xia Qi remained as nonchalant as ever, a thin cigarette dangling from her lips, her hands in her hot pants pockets.

She exhaled a puff of smoke, a half-smile playing on her lips: "Oh? That admiral who drove you out of Sabaody Archipelago has chased you all the way to Elbaf?"

"Don't put it so harshly. What do you mean by 'kicked out'?" Rayleigh snorted. "I just wanted to come out for a walk on my own."

"Really?" Shakky drawled, sitting down beside him. "So what do we do now? Should we go greet them?"

Rayleigh swirled the wine in his glass, pondered for a moment, and then suddenly revealed a sly smile.

"No rush."

"Since they've made such a big show of it, we old folks have to see what they're up to."

Jabba laughed and raised his glass: "You're right! Come on, let's have another round!"

The three old friends clinked glasses again, pretending not to know that Shen Jue had come to the island.

However, they all knew the truth in their hearts.

The new Fleet Admiral who swept through the New World after the massacre of the Celestial Dragons in the Sabaody Archipelago definitely didn't come to Elbaf, the island of giants, for a relaxing vacation!
