And it poses a great threat to the World Government?
Why else would they go to such lengths to conceal its existence?
And what was in that box Who's-Who was escorting back then?
Only then could he have been thrown directly into Impel Down after failing his mission!
In order to survive, he didn't hesitate to seek refuge with Kaido.
From the Navy, he transitioned into a pirate.
There are truly too many mysteries in this...
...
The Red-Haired Pirates!
In that moment, their presence was distinct from that of many other prominent figures on the sea...
Almost everyone among the Red-Haired Pirate Crew was taken aback!
Or more accurately, the senior members among the Red-Haired Pirate King's crew. The comrades who gathered in the initial group were all astonished.
They exchanged glances, a trace of surprise flickering in their eyes.
It's just that others may not know what was in the box Who's-Who was escorting, but they knew very well!
Because Who's-Who's mission failed precisely because he encountered their Red-Haired Pirates!
And they snatched the box from his grasp...
As for what was inside?
It was... the Rubber Fruit!
Indeed, it was the Devil Fruit that Luffy accidentally consumed in Windmill Village, the Paramecia-type Gum-Gum Fruit!
The Red-Haired Pirate Crew was on an escort mission when they encountered Who's-Who, a member of the World Government's CP9.
Seeing him, they presumed there was some incredible treasure inside, so they forcefully seized him!
However, upon opening it, they found it to be an ordinary Devil Fruit.
This left everyone somewhat disappointed... Yet, Devil Fruits were highly valuable in the market, so they decided to take it out later, after enjoying some wine in Windmill Village.
Little did they expect Luffy to be so mischievous, inadvertently consuming it while no one was looking.
The Rubber Fruit wasn't among the most sought-after Devil Fruits, so even though Luffy had eaten it, Shanks didn't make much fuss.
They swiftly put the incident behind them... Yet, it now appeared that the Rubber Fruit wasn't as mundane as it seemed.
After all, why would the World Government dispatch CP9 members for a mere Rubber Fruit escort?
And the failed escort nearly resulted in death...
Everyone present was sharp-minded, whether it was Shanks, Beckman, or Jesus Burgess.
They immediately sensed something amiss; perhaps the Rubber Fruit held greater significance than they had assumed!
Could it be linked to the legendary warrior, the Sun God Nika?
The World Government's stance on the matter only strengthened their suspicion.
Just as Beckman was about to speak, Shanks intervened.
"There's no need to delve further into this. Let it rest in everyone's hearts!"
"What secrets lie within? Let's wait patiently. I believe the live broadcast will reveal the answers!"
Many crew members understood silently, nodding as they turned their attention back to the sky where the live broadcast continued...
"Who's-Who, eager to learn about the Sun God Nika, mentioned the history of Fishmen being slaves in his speech."
"This completely enraged Jinbei. Though usually appearing as a gentle soul, Jinbei held deep pride in his race."
"But insult him and his kind, and he won't hold back!"
[Evidently, Who's-Who had overestimated his own strength and underestimated Jinbe's...]
[Jinbe unleashed a powerful attack, rendering Who's-Who unconscious and incapacitated.]
[Thus, his appearance served solely to reveal the existence of the sun god, Nika, to the world.]
[The scene then shifted to another location...]
[Luffy lay defeated, while Kaido prepared to decimate the rebel army at the banquet.]
[In that critical moment, his son Yamato took a stand...]
[He vehemently confronted his father, declaring himself the inheritor of the warrior's will!]
["I will represent all the samurai of Wano and defeat Kaido!"]
[Enraged, Kaido disregarded their familial ties and engaged Yamato in battle!]
[His fury caused mountains to crumble, the sky to darken, and the fearsome power of the Four Emperors surged forth!]
[However, Kaido's advance was momentarily halted...]
[Meanwhile, at the heart of the banquet, Sanji, Zoro, Marco, and others clashed with the Beast Pirates' formidable Three Calamities.]
[The aftermath of their battle threatened to obliterate the entire banquet hall, plunging the scene into chaos.]
[Yet, none faltered, and the fighting persisted...]
[Once more, the scene shifted, this time to where Luffy lay...]
[After being knocked unconscious by Kaido and sinking to the ocean floor, Luffy was rescued by Law's allies.]
[Now, in the depths of a submarine, after consuming copious amounts of food, Luffy...]
[Rises once more, fully restored and ready to stand tall!]
