Within the walls of the Noble City in the Kingdom of Goa, the expressions on the faces of the people were still filled with shock from an event that occurred just an hour ago.
The smell of electrical sparks lingered in the air, causing the hair of those nearby to stand on end as they approached the spot where a noble had been electrocuted.
Dragon, Garp, and most members of the Revolutionary Army stood at a distance, wearing cloaks that concealed their figures. They observed the chaotic scene from afar.
The chaos had been forcefully contained by hunters, who quickly intervened and organized the cleanup operation. Everything happened so swiftly that any trace of the incident had already been wiped away.
No burned bodies or scorched grass were visible. Only the suffocating atmosphere remained, which even the hunters couldn't manage, their presence only making it worse.
"Since all the nobles are dead now, does this mean there's no chance for Sabo to be born into this world?" Garp asked as he looked at Dragon.
"Who said all the nobles are dead…? Most of them are, but I don't believe Sabo's parents were among those electrocuted to death," Dragon replied calmly.
"Even though they deserved death the most, Sabo does not. Either way, I've ensured that when he is reborn, it will be into a much purer society than the one he grew up in, in the manga."
"Just like Robin was given the chance to be reborn and thrive in a far more peaceful place than Ohara, where she was originally born in the manga."
As he said this, Dragon's eyes were on the scene unfolding in the manga.

Chapter's Events:
—————————
[East Blue; Atop an enormous bridge.]
("The flame of revolution.")
("That is the name by which we call you.")
("We have been searching for you for over ten years. You are, after all, the sole survivor of Ohara, the country that defied the world.")
At that moment, Robin recalled her conversation with the members of the mysterious Revolutionary Army.
"Please do not be afraid! We are your allies. If the government discovers you, we are here to protect you with all our might. Those are our Boss's orders."
"…Your 'Boss'?"
Robin was curious to know who their boss was.
"The supreme commander of the Revolutionary Army… Dragon."
(Luffy's father…) Robin was shocked, and then she laughed.
"Ahahaha… such a strange twist of fate."
The Revolutionary Army members were surprised by her odd reaction, but it didn't change their stance.
"If you would be so kind, the boss would like to meet you. I will show you the way."
"I'm afraid not… I have somewhere I need to go, you see."
"…Oh, and… I don't need your protection."
"I have my own companions," she said with a smile.
"You mean the Straw Hat Pirates, of course. Naturally, we are fully aware of all-" The man's words were interrupted by an urgent transmission.
"Enemy attack behind tower B2!!"
•———•———•———•———•
"Who would have thought that my Revolutionary Army would make contact with Nico Robin… Does this mean she'll receive proper training under me…?"
Dragon was shocked by the unexpected turn of events.
Nico Robin's character is highly sensitive and significant to the plot due to her tragic past.
As the author's daughter, she was untouchable. Linking her to his counterpart in the manga meant that Rob had chosen the perfect person to train his daughter, making her more prepared and ready to embark on the next phase of her adventures.
"The flame of revolution… This title fits Robin perfectly. The Ohara incident in the Enies Lobby arc still lingers in my mind," Garp said.
"It seems she hasn't yet received the news of what Luffy did next…"
Crocodile commented with a sharp expression.
"I wonder what shocking thing Luffy did…"
Garp was eager to know what Luffy had done to alert his crew to his next command as their captain.
"After all, his friends are all he has left after losing his two brothers. I bet he'll do whatever it takes to ensure their safety."
Garp hoped to see Sabo still alive, but that remained unconfirmed speculation.
"It looks like the situation here in Goa has settled. From now on, no noble will live here. Even the surviving nobles will obediently relinquish their titles, which means nothing. The noble children will gradually integrate with the commoners, and that imaginary boundary will disappear."
The members of the Revolutionary Army, who had come to assess the situation, turned and left.
As they departed, the tension in the air began to fade, and the situation stabilized.
From that day forward, no nobles would remain. The next step was to rid the world of the cancerous tumor that had gone dormant since Rob's intervention. He had been treating it since his arrival, preventing it from ravaging the world any further.
Eradicating it meant removing it completely.
The tumor was the Celestial Dragons, who had forced slaves to build massive bridges in different parts of the world for a mysterious purpose that was now becoming clearer to Rob.
One of those massive bridges was Tequila Wolf, which Rob had destroyed a few months ago by turning the slaves who had been constructing it into giants, allowing them to demolish it themselves.
...
•———•———•———•———•
"Why would they build a bridge like this…?!"
Inside the carriage, Robin asked the Revolutionary Army members who were taking her back to her post.
"Under the orders of the Tenryuubito. Whether there is a good reason or not, it doesn't change the fact that countless slaves have lost their lives here,"
explained one of the Revolutionary Army members calmly to Robin.
He then handed her the latest newspaper.
"This is for you."
Robin accepted the paper and opened it, shocked by its contents.
"Luffy…!! Thank goodness… He's all right…"
Relieved that he was safe, her mind was finally at ease. But then she noticed something else and smiled.
"Hmm? What is it? Is there something… interesting written in there?" the Revolutionary Army member asked, noticing her expression.
"Ahahahaha… Yes…" Robin laughed, indicating there was indeed something interesting in the newspaper.
•———•———•———•———•
The long bridge that the Celestial Dragons had considered one of the key areas for securing their valuable slaves' future in this doomed world had been destroyed just like that.
It had taken 700 years to build, and on that day, the Five Elders felt an unimaginable pain.
However, to hide the truth behind its construction, they suppressed their anger and never spoke of it again!
But the shocking thing was that Rob didn't stop at Tequila Wolf. He did the same with all the towering structures the World Government had ordered to be built in the past.
Vodka Wolf, Rum Wolf, Bourbon Wolf, and others—all were liberated, the slaves turned into giants and allowed to destroy everything, drowning the ruins in the sea!
Only the events at Tequila Wolf were broadcast to the world, but Rob ensured that nothing from the other towering structures was revealed, as the conditions there were far worse than at Tequila Wolf.
These actions made the highest leaders of the World Government feel that Rob's next step would be to bring down the Red Line on their heads.
But fortunately for them, Rob needed to finish the One Piece manga before attempting such a monumental feat.
In the vast throne room inside Pangaea Castle, the Five Elders looked at each other in regret over the efforts and resources lost in the high points they had failed to protect during their reign as the Gorosei.
"If only we hadn't been reminded of Tequila Wolf in the manga, we'd be much happier," Saturn said with a gloomy expression.
"What good would temporary forgetting do? The day will come when Rob grows old and dies. After that, we will immediately order the construction of a second Tequila Wolf, and the other bridges he destroyed," Ju Peter replied calmly.
"As if time would be on our side… The world will have already drowned by then," Nasjuro sighed in sorrow.
"We can only stack millions of people on the Red Line with us. Plus, Rob did something remarkable by turning a continent-like island such as Alabasta into a sky island. We can relocate many people there and have them work night and day for our benefit," Mars added with a sly expression.
They all, including Imu, believed that no matter how long Rob lived, he would eventually die because he was just a very strong human.
But what about them? They were immortal!
