One Piece - I Am A Different Luffy!

Chapter 498 – The four Yonko of the New World.



[Chapter Size: 1800 Words.]

Third Person POV

Fish-Man Island.

A week had passed since the first newspapers had been published, and today, once again, a new newspaper emerged in the world.

It was a distant but shocking image, showing the entirety of that place, stating that this was the once-closed Wano, now surrounded by dozens of islands, forming a gigantic archipelago.

Everything was concentrating in just one place, becoming the largest landmass in all the seas, perhaps only surpassed by the Red Line—those immense rocky formations that divided the world.

This was certainly shocking the entire world, especially with reports that Alabasta was there, along with the Fish-Man Island itself, Wano at its center, Dressrosa, and other kingdoms surrounding them, as well as some ships as large as cities, like Tesoro’s ship floating in the sea.

Organizations and pirate groups watched carefully as the Straw Hats had become the most powerful group in the world, and seeing their entire territory united, with the power to move islands across the world, made them even more dangerous.

Who could handle them now?

How could anyone attack them there, when all their allies were just a step away from helping them?

On a ship in Paradise, Makino was looking at the newspaper as they sailed once more toward East Blue.

In the end, they had left Mary Geoise without any trouble, as the World Government no longer seemed to care about them—even after the threats—and everyone had begun to leave the Holy City along with the other kings.

“Luffy seems pretty busy…” Makino commented, looking at the newspaper in her hand before turning to the side. “Don’t you think?” she asked.

Garp had his arms crossed as he looked at the newspaper in the Queen of Goa’s hands. “Luffy…” he sighed. “He’s turning the whole world upside down…”

“He seems to be getting really strong!” Makino said with a smile.

“Really strong?! He’s a declared enemy of the entire world! Can you even imagine what it’s like when the whole world has its eyes on that brat?!” Woop Slap exclaimed.

“Garp, you let him walk a path of no return!” the elderly man continued, speaking among the queen’s advisors.

“I didn’t raise him! In fact, the one who raised him is on this ship! You’re all to blame for Luffy being so rebellious!” Garp shouted at Curly Dadan, who immediately shrank in fear, as if Garp were about to hit her and the former mountain bandits.

“Don’t kill us! We couldn’t control that boy! How did you think we could possibly control that group of little monsters?!” Dadan exclaimed in her defense.

“Anyway… it looks like things are getting intense…” Garp ignored Dadan this time and picked up yesterday’s newspaper.

There had been an attempt by the World Government to eliminate the Shichibukai, sending a group of Seraphim to hunt each one down. However, it seemed to have failed. The abolition of the Shichibukai program appeared to have caused another effect—leading to the formation of a large group uniting against the government, gaining their own space on the seas and filling the void left among the Yonko. The strangest part was the pirate they had placed as their leader—a pirate from East Blue.

“This guy has sailed with Luffy a few times before…” Garp muttered.

Meanwhile, in the New World…

Blackbeard was looking at the newspaper, laughing. He certainly saw Luffy as a great threat, but now he had something on his ship.

After all, they had secured a Poneglyph, having stolen it from Big Mom’s now-unprotected island. They were taking it to their base, where they could safeguard it.

“Zehahahaha!! At least we’ll slow them down with one of the four clues. Even if they’re more powerful, we just need to find a way to get the other red Poneglyphs.”

“But, Captain, one of them is in Wano, isn’t it? Won’t that be a problem for us? After all, it has become the central base for a bunch of islands…” one of his crew members cautiously pointed out.

“Yes, and that’s definitely a problem we’ll have to solve,” Blackbeard commented, analyzing the situation.

“Well… maybe, if we capture Ace… we can use him for an exchange. After all, my former crewmates are cornered on that island after we forced them to stay there. And also, that ex-Shichibukai is heading there… isn’t that right?” he asked one of his men, who nodded in confirmation.

“Yes. That former member of the Shichibukai program managed to survive the government’s attacks and is heading toward the last remaining territories of Whitebeard. From what our spies have heard, he wants to prove his worth by taming Whitebeard’s crew, claiming to be his son and insisting that they should all follow him,” Van Augur said.

“Then we need to act faster. After all, if we capture Ace, we can negotiate with Monkey D. Luffy for him to give us the information on the Poneglyph,” Blackbeard said with a cunning smile.

“And what about the new Yonko, Captain? I didn’t expect that guy to become a Yonko like you. Shanks and Straw Hat… if we can even call him that,” Jesus Burgess commented.

“Him…” Blackbeard murmured upon hearing Jesus Burgess refer to the fact that Luffy had given his hat to his sister in a public act during the conference of kings. But also about the unexpected Yonko beside him, whom no one had anticipated—leading powerful people in an organization that had emerged at this very moment.

They were also a force to be reckoned with.

“It doesn’t matter. They will fall too. Nothing will stop us from becoming what is the true title that even Roger didn’t reach, so we’ll surprise them, along with the old man: On my way to becoming the King of the Pirates!”

“Zehahahaha!” Blackbeard started laughing as his ship continued sailing, advancing toward their base. Behind them, immense destruction still covered Big Mom’s former territory, with smoke and debris visible in the distance.

Meanwhile, at another point in the New World, Shanks was looking at the newspaper after taking a sip from his mug.

“Luffy really built a powerful base… That’s truly incredible… And to think that they took down every enemy they faced…” Lucky Roux murmured while biting into a piece of meat.

“Yeah… And that bastard gave my hat to Lucy,” Shanks spoke again before breaking into a smile.

“Looks like we’ll be seeing him soon… from the looks of it,” Benn Beckman commented, smoking his cigarette, and the others nodded in agreement.

“Yes… The race for the One Piece begins now, more than ever. The world has changed… and it seems that Luffy is surpassing us and leading this new era…” Shanks said.

“I’m looking forward to meeting him soon… and also Uta. And my son,” Yasopp, Usopp’s father, added with a smile.

“Yes… Soon, we will meet again,” Shanks murmured, thinking about all the people he wanted to see once more: Luffy, Lucy, Uta… and even meeting Luffy’s son. Or rather… wouldn’t that be my grandson? he thought to himself.

“You seem sentimental.” A cold voice interrupted his thoughts from the Den Den Mushi near them, just as they had been talking before the newspaper arrived.

“You too…” Shanks put the newspaper aside, recognizing the arrogant tone of Dracule Mihawk, before continuing with a grin. “But you sound depressed. Hahahahahaha!!” Shanks burst out laughing, slapping his thigh as he took another sip before speaking into the communicator again.

“What happened, Mihawk? I just heard that the government tried to kill you but failed. However… you ended up becoming Buggy’s subordinate?”

Shanks laughed once more.

“That was a mistake.” Mihawk’s voice came from the other side of the Den Den Mushi, filled with irritation.

“Shanks, please, help me!” Buggy’s tearful voice came through the Den Den Mushi.

It was clear that Mihawk was holding Buggy’s head with one hand.

“Ho, Buggy! I heard you became a great pirate. I never doubted your abilities! Hahahaha!” Shanks couldn’t stop laughing.

“Save me, Shanks! For the sake of our friendship!” Buggy kept shouting desperately. “Ah, forget it. You still owe me a treasure map, you bastard!” Buggy quickly changed his tone, now sounding irritated.

As the two argued through the Den Den Mushi, elsewhere in that same sea, Ace was alongside his crewmates, carefully observing the newspapers.

“It looks like… Izo managed to avenge Oden along with the Straw Hats!! The old man would be so happy…” Vista couldn’t help but comment, using his only arm to wipe away tears.

Beside him were Marco, Jozu, Blamenco, Namur, and other members—the surviving former Whitebeard Pirates—all eagerly looking at the newspaper in Ace’s hands, reading about the latest news from the New World.

They were in Sphinx, the homeland where Whitebeard was born.

“Really… Straw Hat is impressive. Your brother is incredible, Ace! He not only defeated two Yonko but also the World Government over a week ago. Now, he’s shocking the world once again, becoming—unsurprisingly—a Yonko of the sea… just like Pops. But at the same time, he’s creating a unique barrier of territories. That’s amazing! Not even the World Government or the Marines will be able to do anything against him now,” Diamond Jozu commented, analyzing the united islands in the photo.

“That means he’ll come to help us… right, Marco?” Blamenco asked as he looked at the Phoenix Fruit user.

“Let’s hope so…” Marco remained silent for a moment, as if sensing something on the horizon.

“Luffy, get here soon, you idiot! We’ll be waiting!” Ace grinned excitedly, proud to see his brother achieving so much and proving to the entire world that he was making his dream come true.

“Vista said he would help us as soon as he finished his fight. That’s good,” Marco added, letting out a small smile.

He wasn’t trying to be proud. After all, this was Pops’ territory, and he would put his pride aside to protect what remained of Whitebeard’s memories.

Besides, Monkey D. Luffy was valuable to them—he had helped save their father at Marineford during the war more than a year ago.

Meanwhile, a ship continued advancing through the sea, approaching that island. On board, a short, elderly woman stood next to a giant man over six meters tall—wielding a massive naginata as his weapon.

They were preparing to reach the place.

The whole world seemed to be in turmoil at that moment.

Beyond the revelation of the great natural fortress that Monkey D. Luffy was building around Wano, an even more shocking announcement had been made the day before:

The new Yonko had been officially declared:

Shanks, the Red-Haired

Marshall D. Teach, Blackbeard

Monkey D. Luffy, the former Straw Hat, now known as the Captain of the Dawn Pirates

And finally, Buggy, leader of the Cross Guild—a powerful organization formed through an alliance between Mihawk, Crocodile, and Buggy himself.

Thus, the new generation of Yonko had emerged in the world.
