Chapter 765: Post-War Eradication
The ending is similar to that in the original work, the Straw Hat Pirates' victory was a bit difficult, but Nami and Luffy's situation was not as difficult as in the original work.
Luffy's foundation was strengthened by Victor, and he fought with Lucci until the end without being exhausted. He defeated Lucci while standing.
The same goes for Nami, she is no longer a girl without any fighting power. With a certain fighting power and a very useful brain, and with the cooperation of the Queen's Stick, she perfectly defeated Kalifa, who knew the Six Styles.
Moreover, she also learned the technique of paper drawing during the battle, which was considered the beginning of her knowledge of Observation Haki. This was also due to the influence of Vic's help in awakening Bell-mère's Haki on her, allowing her to come into contact with Haki many years in advance, and now she has the shadow of awakening.
Anyway, the Straw Hat Pirates were finally picked up by the damaged Golden Merry, and the Judicial Island was blown to pieces by the Demon Slayer Order. Not a single enemy was killed, and the friendly forces suffered heavy losses! If the Straw Hat Pirates really suffered a loss, it must be the Snow in Zoro's hand!
This battle between the pirates and the various departments of Judicial Island seemed extremely fierce, and even the Demon Slayer Order was involved in the end, but there was no major change in the ending, so Rebecca, who was watching from the sky, did not take any action, and just quietly watched this battle about not abandoning or giving up!
To be honest, even Rebecca was moved by this kind of bond between companions, but she herself had experienced it, but that was a long time ago!
As time passed, they became stronger and stronger, and this kind of thing rarely happened. The last time was when Vic was the one who covered their retreat and intercepted the strong men of the Knights of God. Rebecca and the others didn't know what happened that time, and Vic never mentioned it. When she saw Vic again, Vic had changed into a flawless set of clothes!
After leaving the Encyclopedia, the Straw Hat Pirates hid in the Water City. Aokiji also hid in the Water City. As for the Encyclopedia, which had been almost destroyed by the Demon Slayer Order, that was no longer his concern.
The privilege of the Demon Slayer Order was given to Aokiji by the World Government, but he returned it to Spandam in the government department. No one can say anything about the result, and he saw everything he wanted to see and did everything he should do. It was simply perfect.
As for the questions above about the final outcome of the Straw Hat Pirates, Aokiji said that he didn't know. The Encyclopedia Island had been bombed like that, maybe the Straw Hat Pirates had been wiped out in the gunfire. In any case, Aokiji did not see the Straw Hat Pirates escape from the Encyclopedia Island!
As for how the Straw Hat Pirates reappeared afterwards, that has nothing to do with him. Pirates have always been good at escaping, and the Judicial Island was in such chaos that it was normal for some omissions. You wouldn't fire me, a navy admiral, for such a small matter, right?
……
The Straw Hat Pirates stayed in Water City naturally to wait for the ship. After the Golden Merry rescued them from Judicial Island, it had completely exhausted its last vitality. After returning to Water City, it was broken into two!
Luffy and the others said goodbye in tears. Franky cried even harder as he watched. Then he took over the Straw Hat Pirates' new ship on his own initiative. After all, they had already bought the best shipbuilding wood, the treasure tree Adam, with the money they had robbed from Usopp.
Franky's only wish is to build a good ship that can sail in any sea, just like the Golden Jackson built by his master Tom!
Franky didn't want to own the ship he built. His dream was to see someone he recognized conquer all the seas in the world on the ship he built!
Now the people recognized by Franky are the Straw Hat Pirates, so the decision to use the best materials to build a ship for the Straw Hat Pirates is not abrupt but very reasonable. It is like those top swordsmiths who want to give their own swords to those peerless swordsmen. This is a sense of recognition!
In order to build the ship he had designed long ago as quickly as possible, Franky asked his senior brother Iceberg to build it. The two of them worked hard and built the Sunny in just a few days.
In the original work, after the battle of Judicial Island ended, Aokiji informed Garp of Luffy's news, because Luffy made such a big fuss that time!
As one of the three major institutions of the World Government, the Judicial Island represents the face of the World Government. Luffy's behavior is equivalent to slapping the World Government in the face, so Garp must stand up. Only when he reveals the relationship between Luffy and himself, the World Government will not embarrass Luffy at this critical juncture.
The Five Elders have to give some face to the naval heroes, otherwise the Straw Hat Pirates without a ship would be trapped and killed on this island by the World Government.
If Aokiji had stepped forward instead, the Five Elders would definitely not give him face, and his treatment would probably be similar to that of Akainu, who later became the Navy Admiral.
So in the original work, Garp came to Water City openly and announced his grandfather-grandson relationship with the pirate Straw Hat Boy in front of so many people. Of course, there was also the relationship between Straw Hat Boy and the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Dragon.
Anyway, just tell the Five Elders to give me some face and let it go this time. If you really keep insisting on it, be careful that the revolutionary army will cause trouble for you. Let's just take a step back and leave it at that.
Anyway, in the original work, when the Straw Hat Pirates were living in Water City, except for the navy hero Garp, no other navy or world government people came to visit them. Did the Five Elders really not know that the Straw Hat Pirates were still alive, or did they turn a blind eye?
It is most likely the latter. Although many agents took the sea train from Water City back to Enforcement Island during the Battle of Enforcement Island, not all of them left. Luffy and his crew held such a big banquet, I am afraid that everyone is on the island without a doubt.
And with so many marines brought by Garp, who can say that there are definitely no agents planted by the World Government among them? After all, the Navy is the thug of the World Government, and there will definitely be regulatory measures, there is no doubt about this.
Therefore, the Five Elders must have received the news that the Straw Hat Pirates are still alive. As for not taking any action, it was simply a compromise made after weighing the pros and cons. Garp has been guarding Water and has not left!
However, for the sake of Garp's face and the threat from the Revolutionary Army, the Five Elders compromised this time. Later, when Luffy defeated the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Gekko Moriah, the Five Elders immediately issued an order to kill Kuma. If it weren't for the deep revolutionary friendship between Kuma and Dragon, the Straw Hat Pirates would have been wiped out at the Thriller Bark!
It may seem like the Straw Hat Pirates are on their own adventure, but behind the scenes there are many complicated interpersonal relationships and favors involved!
Without these connections, given the Straw Hat Pirates' trouble-making and head-turning nature, they would not have been able to even get out of the East China Sea and would have been captured by Smoker in Rogue Town.
Therefore, completely arbitrary adventure requires background or hard power. If you don’t have either, you will be harmed by your own arbitrary heart.
Just like Eustace Kidd in Supernova, when he was in the Sabaody Archipelago, if Pluto Rayleigh and the Straw Hat Pirates hadn't shared the firepower with him, Kizaru would have brought the Pacifists to kill him long ago. How could he let them take the opportunity to escape?
Then he arrived in the New World to challenge the Four Emperors Red-Haired Shanks. This was considered as acting at will or overestimating one's own abilities. As a result, he lost an arm without even seeing Red-Haired Shanks himself. This was still the kindness of the Red-Haired Pirates, otherwise the Kidd Pirates would have been destroyed that time.
Then came the Supernova Alliance. Kidd and his companions were badly betrayed by App. They all fell into Kaido's hands. The others chose to surrender, but Kidd remained unyielding, and then he was imprisoned in the quarry.
He was not rescued until the Straw Hat Pirates came to Wano Country. In the end, the three captains worked together to defeat two of the Four Emperors. This time, he was helped by the Straw Hat Pirates again, otherwise Kaido would have killed him once his patience ran out!
After leaving Wano Country, Kidd once again did whatever he wanted. He wanted to find the Four Emperors Red Hair to avenge his broken arm. After all, he had just teamed up with Law to kill one of the Four Emperors. He was confident in his strength again. But then he was knocked down by Red Hair's Divine Buff.
If his men had not promptly taken out the rubbing of the historical text of the signpost and begged for mercy, this would have been another ending of total annihilation. This is the end of people who have no backing, no connections, and no strength and do whatever they want. Even Vic, a time traveler who knows a lot of future events, had to rely on connections to become stronger when he first came to this world. This is very telling!
After the incident on Judicial Island, Aokiji also called Garp, but Garp did not bring Coby and Bellemere to Water City.
When Luffy went out to sea, the three of them had already discussed it in Windmill Village. Dragon was in charge of the East China Sea and Vic was in charge of the Grand Line, so Garp did not come to Water City to show off his connections this time.
The Five Elders, who have no scruples, naturally will not let the Straw Hat Pirates go. They sent a CP0 agent to Water City. With the current strength of the Straw Hat Pirates, a CP0 agent is enough to wipe out the entire Straw Hat Pirates!
