Luke examined the terrain of the uninhabited island. This island is going to be destroyed into bits within a week with his training plan. It would only be a pity that Nami can't record this island onto her map.
"Listen up. This training is a bit special. As I mentioned earlier, it will be a battle royale against me."
"And by me, I mean my representative magical treasure. He is named Frankenstein."
Frankenstein, the golden man bowed his head with elegance. Although he was a golden man, his body doesn't luster any brilliance of a gold. He was like a dull looking gold.
Luffy and the fanatics had full of stars in their eyes. They kept circling around Frankenstein while examining his body as if the latter was a fine piece limited edition robot.
They witnessed how this golden man created by Luke just now.
"Alright. You need to view this training seriously. You won't be facing just a normal puppet." Luke broke the commotion as he assumed a mischievous face.
The Strawhats felt a chill when they saw this expression of Luke.
"Frankenstein has an independent train of thought and I designed him as brutal and merciless type of fighter."
"Here's the mechanics of this training. You all and Frankenstein will be battling on this Island everyday."
"Now here's the fun part." Luke smirked with menace.
"Frankenstein will choose a random single target for a day. Meaning, he will only parry or defend any outside attacks while focusing on defeating his target."
"If he successfully beat up the target which could be said as 'brutally battered', then the training for the day will stop by default. The battle will resume the next day with a new target, pretty simple. We will be staying on this island for a week before we resume our sail so each of you will have a day to be Frankenstein's target."
The trainees, Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, Luffy, Johnny, Yosaku and Robin changed their expression when they heard the mechanics.
Seven trainees for seven days.
"Do your best to defend the target. The target who can last longer will receive a magical treasure from me first. Also, raising the white flag is not an option in this training. Plus, Nami will struck the said target each hour or so by thunder to make this training more fun. So, not will you only watch your own back, but also upwards too."
"The training starts at noon until the sun sets or the said target is done. That's all and good luck."
Luke flew towards Merry to rest followed by Frankenstein, leaving the Strawhats on the island while utterly speechless.
"I'm all fired up!" Luffy shouted a battle cry.
"Oy Luffy. Don't act so rash later. I feel a dangerous vibe from that Frankenstein guy. We need to at least form a plan to corner him." Zoro said with a serious tone.
"G-Guys... Did Luke m-mentioned 'brutally battered'?" Usopp seem to break his serious facade as he asked with shaking voice.
Sanji took a puff from his cigarette as he said, "Luke is doing his best to improve our combat capability. Man up and let's do our best to defeat that golden man. Who knows? Maybe if all of us can destroy that man, Luke will reward us each magical treasure at the same time."
He saw Luke's complexion was a bit pale so he didn't say any more complaint.
"Let's do it!" Yosaku and Johnny chanted.
"I wonder which of us will end up dead later." Robin rubbed her chin as she thought out loud.
"Oy Robin, don't declare such ominous things!" Usopp felt shivers down his spine.
...
While the Strawhats are busying themselves, the news of Emperor Luffy finally spread throughout the world.
Some bold pirate groups declared themselves as part of the Strawhat's alliance. They even wore strawhats just like Luffy's. It became a trend and also caused a great commotion towards the common people.
Even though the marines are prepared, they still can't neutralize the commotion of the news.
The sea is starting to get busy and various pirate group wanted to find this so called young Emperor with various intentions. Some wanted a test, some wanted an alliance and some just wanted Luffy's head for his bounty.
...
At Red-Haired Pirates, Shanks wanted to seek for Kaidou. He knew the latter didn't accept Linlin's demise.
Now that a new Emperor was hailed, this monster will surely seek for the said Emperor which is Luffy.
He didn't know how Luffy ended up became an Emperor. All he know is that this is a great trouble for Luffy.
Someone in the World Government must be targeting Luffy for sure.
...
On a random wide island in the New World...
Whitebeard gathered all of his alliance overnight. After some headcount, he finally noticed the missing individual.
15th division commander Fossa.
Whitebeard's gathering also caught the attention of nearby pirate group. They wanted to know what was going on.
More than 1,500 crew members gathered. There are also more than 10,000 sub-members coming from the various alliance all over the New World.
Whitebeard was going all out just to face his former crew or son.
"Pops! Here they are! That fucking bastard!" A random Whitebeard crew shouted. He knew the Jolly Roger of Blackbeard Pirates so he immediately went to report.
Whitebeard was still sitting on his chair with relaxed expression. After hearing the report of his subordinate, he narrowed his eyes at the distance.
Sure enough, a massive pirate ship created by Wapol was heading to the island.
Blackbeard's ship looked like a massive raft made by metal. It was still like in the original story, but like a hundred times more bigger than Going Merry.
Whitebeard's Moby dick is ten times smaller than Blackbeard's ship which named Blades of Xebec.
Blackbeard was grinning from ear to ear while staring back at Whitebeard.
Behind him are his ten crew which he labled as The Titanic Ten.
Other than Blackbeard and his crew, there are three other people in the ship. They were responsible for the maintenance and cleanliness of the ship. Those three were Ms. Golden Week, Mr. 3 and Ms. Valentines.
"ZEHAHAHA!! I see some familiar faces here! Good to see you guys present in our family reunion!" Blackbeard announced with a wide grin on his face.
The Whitebeard crew had a scowl on their faces when they heard Blackbeard. Not only Blackbeard killed two of the important crew of Whitebeard Pirates, but he also acted as if nothing happened.
Meanwhile on the bystander area, various pirate group are starting to gather.
Other pirate groups made way for the infamous Seven Deadly Sins Pirates' massive ship that looked like a noah's arc from fishman island. However, there was a obvious house atop his ship.
"What a lively crowd. Whitebeard is throwing a welcoming party to his long lost crew?" Meliodas marveled the crowded island.
"I don't think so. Look! They are clearly waging a war with that man." A talking pig chided.
"Really? It's kinda one sided to me. What is this Whitebeard's thinking?" Meliodas commented.
"No. The numbers are equal." Merlin smiled.
"Huh?" The rest of the Seven Deadly Sins stared at Merlin.
RUMBLE!!
It didn't take long for them to know what Merlin meant when a massive submarine emerged from the sea.
Whitebeard narrowed his eyes at the emerging submarine at the side of Blackbeard's ship.
Then, bunch of savage looking men exited the submarine.
"L-Look! That's Avalo Pizarro!"
"That's man is Vasco Shot!"
"That's..."
The bystanders pointed at the people they recognized.
"These people are those who escaped from Impel Down more than a month ago!"
The last person who exited the submarine caused a huge commotion.
"D-Douglas Bullet!"
Douglas Bullet calmly stared at the scene while a hint of grin appeared on his mouth.
"ZEHAHAHA! Did you like my preparation, Pops?! This is the party I'm talking about!" Blackbeard laughed out loud.
Whitebeard ignored Blackbeard as he squinted his eyes at Douglas Bullet. He was surprised to see this person.
"That man is still alive? He even sided with Teach..." Marco frowned.
...
"Hm? That woman... is not simple." Merlin squinted her eyes at one of Blackbeard's crew.
"Who? Is she a beauty?" Meliodas glanced at the woman before he lost interest. Although the woman was a beauty, she's not the one he's looking for.
The said woman locked her eyes with Merlin while smiling then she stared back at the Whitebeard Pirates. Even with kilometers away, the woman still detected Merlin's gaze.
"Interesting... I wonder what's her name." Merlin smiled with expectation. As a wizard, she could feel an enormous magic pulse of that woman that can threaten even her.
...
Marine HQ...
"Send Admiral All Might and Admiral Kizaru there! I want all of them to be captured dead or alive!" Sengoku shouted at the marine.
Sengoku just received a report that the escaped prisoners from Impel down are all present at New World while waging war against Whitebeard Pirates.
This is an alarming news and also an opportunity to capture those pirates at once.
"Y-Yes!" The marine scampered away to relay the news.
Sengoku felt a headache coming. He felt something was wrong in this world.
After the disappearance of Big Mom, the New World is starting to get unstable.
In addition, many new powerful pirate group suddenly appeared. This is pretty unusual as if an uprising is going on.
He took a paper which listed a few powerful pirates that appeared recently.
Tailed Beasts Pirates, Captain : Madara.
Oracion Seis Pirates, Captain : Midnight.
Ten Commandments Pirates, Captain : Zeldris.
Demon Incarnate Pirates, Captain : Shigaraki.
Tartaros Pirates, Captain : Mard Geer.
Fortunately for the Marines, these new pirate group that recently emerged are settling on the New World.
What Sengoku didn't know is that, his headache has only been started. A great upset will rise soon after the downfall of one of the Vice Admiral of the marines.
