Chapter 315: The End of the Old Plan!

Accompanied by a deafening, earth-shattering roar.

The central mountain of Punk Hazard, completely severed by Law's peerless strike, began to undergo violent displacement and large-scale landslides under the influence of gravity.

Thick alloy walls and expensive precision instruments, along with the massive storage tank containing the toxic SAD raw materials, were all completely shattered in the blinding blue-white sword light.

A massive amount of toxic waste liquid and shattered steel poured out like a bursting dam, crashing into the bottomless rift.

Since the towering mountain had been sliced open, the howling winds from outside the island finally found an outlet, rushing madly through that massive rift.

The powerful natural wind, like the invisible hands of a scavenger, completely blew away the lethal poisonous fog that had tightly enveloped the island.

As the haze dissipated, the long-awaited brilliant sunlight happened to shine on Law's face as he gasped for breath.

Standing in the distance, Smoker and Tashigi stared blankly at the scene, their hearts filled with a complex mix of emotions that they couldn't calm for a long time.

Smoker exhaled a puff of murky smoke.

The monsters of the new era are truly going to overturn this long-silent sea.

Luffy and Tatsuya followed the ruins along the edge of the rift, like two agile birds, jumping down lightly and landing steadily.

Luffy looked at the scattered wreckage and the neatly sliced mountain, his mouth agape.

He heartlessly gave Law a thumbs up and let out a hearty laugh:

"Wahahaha! Tra-guy, that strike just now was super cool!"

"That momentum is almost on par with Zoro's!"

Standing not far away, Zoro heard his Captain's evaluation; a satisfied curve tugged at the corner of his mouth, and he let out a tsundere-ish cold snort.

Then, he nimbly sheathed the Wado Ichimonji.

Law took a few deep breaths of fresh air to calm his heaving chest.

He leaned his nodachi on the ground and looked at Luffy and Tatsuya, his eyes flashing with sharp light:

"The SAD manufacturing plant has been completely destroyed."

"Although your way of doing things is far too crude, regardless, the first step of my plan has been completed without any major mishaps."

"Next, as long as we take Caesar, our only bargaining chip, to negotiate with Doflamingo and force him to abdicate..."

"Ah, about that gas-playing bastard."

Tatsuya's expression was indifferent as he bluntly interrupted Law's grand blueprint: "He's already dead."

The air froze at that moment.

The confident expression on Law's face instantly froze.

"D... Dead?!"

"Are you kidding me?! If he's dead, then what do we use to blackmail Doflamingo into giving up his privileges as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?!"

Seeing Law's near-breakdown, Luffy naturally pressed down on the Straw Hat atop his head.

He grinned, revealing a natural, brilliant smile; his clear eyes reflected the simple logic unique to pirates:

"Blackmail?"

"Forget about those roundabout, troublesome things!"

"Since that Doflamingo guy has done so many bad things, why don't we just charge into his lair and beat the crap out of him!"

Facing this group of pure combatants who were completely unreasonable and only thought about direct confrontation, Law closed his eyes in despair and buried his face in his hands.

He finally truly realized just what a terrifying ship of thieves he had boarded.

...

Meanwhile, far away in Dressrosa in the New World.

Deep within this island full of passion and false prosperity, inside the luxurious hall of the royal palace.

The absolute king of the Underworld—the "Heavenly Yaksha," Doflamingo, was sitting on a wide sofa.

He swirled a red wine glass in his hand while discussing upcoming arms deals with his Top Executives.

Suddenly, the Vivre Card in his coat used to confirm the life and death of his subordinates let out a violent burning sound without warning.

Doflamingo frowned slightly and suddenly reached into his coat.

He saw that the two Vivre Cards representing Vergo and Monet had now completely lost their luster of life, their edges charred and curled.

And what made his soul tremble and flare with rage even more was the Vivre Card representing his core cash cow—Caesar Clown.

That card didn't even go through a process of struggling; it had actually burned to ashes and completely dissipated into the air!

The veins on Doflamingo's forehead writhed madly like bulging earthworms, and his eyes beneath the sunglasses were instantly bloodshot.

"Caesar is dead... My SAD raw materials... My SMILE Artificial Fruit Factory..."

Doflamingo suddenly crushed the goblet in his hand, letting the crimson wine mix with blood and drip through his fingers.

He threw back his head like a frenzied beast and let out a shrill roar filled with endless killing intent:

"Straw Hat boy!! Trafalgar Law!! I..."

"...swear I will skin you two reckless brats alive!!!"

Having lost Caesar, his only trump card, Doflamingo knew better than anyone how severe the consequences would be.

What he was about to face was the world-shattering, ruthless wrath of the Four Emperors' "of the Beasts" Kaido, the so-called strongest creature in the sea, land, and air, who was entrenched in Wano Country.

...

By the cold and dilapidated coast of Punk Hazard.

The sea breeze whistled as Sanji and Nami led the giant children on a long trek, successfully reuniting with Luffy and the others.

Draped in a tattered Justice coat, Smoker, representing the Marines of the G-5 Branch, officially took over the escort and subsequent treatment of these victimized children.

Facing the Straw Hat crew, this Vice Admiral, who had always viewed pirates as mortal enemies, exhaled a heavy puff of white smoke.

To repay the favor of saving his subordinates and revealing the truth...

Smoker, for the first time ever, reached a tacit "temporary blindness" with the Straw Hat crew, acting as if he hadn't seen this group of swaggering pirates.

Tashigi clutched her bandaged, injured shoulder, her cheeks slightly flushed.

She walked up to Zoro with somewhat awkward steps, her eyes darting around, but she finally mustered the courage to bite her lip and thank him:

"Even though you are evil pirates."

"But... for what happened in the corridor just now, and for saving Vice Admiral Smoker, thank you!"

Zoro crossed his arms and irritably scratched his short green hair.

He didn't dare look at Tashigi's familiar face and waved his hand impatiently, turning to leave:

"So annoying. Since you've said thanks, hurry up and take these troublesome brats back to your Marine base and stop bothering me."

With the sea breeze blowing, the Straw Hat crew officially bid farewell to the Marines and boarded the "thousand sunny" anchored in the harbor.

As they were about to set sail, the Wano Country samurai Kin'emon walked solemnly up to Luffy and fell to his knees with a thud.

He formally kowtowed to Luffy, expressing his deepest gratitude.

Then, he asked Luffy to borrow a small lifeboat with a sail.

As a proud samurai who valued honor more than life, since he had not yet found Momonosuke...

He absolutely could not shamelessly stay on the ship, nor did he want to involve these benefactors in the dangerous, murky waters of Wano Country.

Luffy looked at Kin'emon's determined eyes and didn't force him to stay.

He simply smiled and agreed to his request, generously giving him enough food and fresh water.

After thanking him again, Kin'emon jumped onto the small boat alone, raised the sail, and vanished by himself into the unpredictable thick mist of the New World.

After experiencing a series of intense battles, everyone finally returned to the absolutely safe Sunny.

Once his tense nerves relaxed, Luffy's stomach immediately let out a thunderous protest.

He immediately lay on the deck without any sense of decorum, flailing his limbs and clamoring for a grand celebratory banquet.

Sanji exhaled a smoke ring helplessly, rolled up his sleeves, and headed toward his beloved kitchen, ready to show off his skills and treat everyone well.

As the attentive Navigator, Nami habitually walked toward the orange grove at the stern and the storage room on the lower deck to carefully check if the ship's food supplies had been damaged by poison gas or the battle while everyone was away from the island.

However, not long after she entered the dim storage room...

"Ahhh!!!"

Suddenly, a high-pitched scream filled with panic from Nami came from deep within the storage room!

"Everyone, come quickly! Something strange has snuck in!"

Hearing the Navigator's distorted cry for help, everyone on deck changed their expressions.

"What's wrong?!"

Luffy, Zoro, Tatsuya, and the others reacted with lightning speed, instantly turning into afterimages and rushing into the lower-level storage room in a panic.

Everyone looked toward the corner, following Nami's trembling finger.

There, in the wooden fruit basket originally used to store ordinary cantaloupes and apples, right in the center of a pile of common fruit, sat a piece of fruit covered in eerie spiral patterns and possessing a strange-colored skin!

Chopper, who had run in behind the others on his short legs, stared with wide eyes the moment he saw the appearance of that fruit.

He held out a furry hoof, pointed at the fruit, and shouted:

"This... these eerie patterns! There's no mistake! This is a Devil Fruit!"

"Why is there a Devil Fruit out of nowhere on our ship?!"
