Chapter 6 - DGYT: Chapter 6

North Blue.

Above the wreckage of the towering flames at sea.

"You... you will definitely regret this! Old man, you have no idea what you've gotten yourself into! Daring to defy the world will have consequences you can never imagine!"

"It seems these are your last words. Say them, then pay for your crimes."

On the deck of his lone vessel, Ignis Glow raised his hand, Ryūjin Jakka in his grip, looking down at the man whose eyes widened in death's grip.

"Wa-wait!"

The World Government man's terrified voice barely left his lips.

Swish!

An arc of light flashed.

A head soared high above the sea.

Warm blood sprayed into the ocean.

The head, sinking into the sea, wore an expression of terror and trembling.

Until death, he had clearly warned the old man of the consequences of defying them, even tempting him with power.

But, how dare this old man? How… how dare he?!

Mad… madman!

This was the man's final thought before his consciousness plunged into darkness.

That there were actually madmen in this world who dared to defy the World Government!

"This won't be the end…"

Ignis Glow sheathed Ryūjin Jakka, his gaze sweeping across the orange-red flames consuming the sea.

His gaze then settled on the destroyed town, and he murmured:

"This is only the beginning."

Coldness flickered in Ignis Glow's eyes.

From the survivor he'd spared, Ignis Glow had pieced together the full story of what happened in the North Blue.

Insufficient Heavenly Tribute payment.

As Ignis Glow knew, it was a complete fabrication.

The true purpose behind destroying the town where he'd lived for over thirty years, was that it was the season for the World Government's annual Heavenly Tribute collection.

But since the dawn of the Great Age of Piracy, the North Blue had been a constant battleground of warring kingdoms, rife with mafia families and rampant pirates, firmly holding the title of the most chaotic sea.

Adding to this, some North Blue kingdoms possessed considerable military might.

Such as the former Donquixote Family, and the Germa 66 family, who once ruled the North Blue with their powerful mercenary forces.

This directly or indirectly caused the World Government's influence in the North Blue to plummet.

So, someone, to force the kingdoms and powers of the North Blue into submission, to make them understand who the true and only 'master' of the world was, orchestrated the destruction of the town during the Heavenly Tribute collection.

They deliberately chose a location near a Navy branch.

Their aim was to demonstrate to all North Blue forces that, whenever the World Government willed it, even killing innocent civilians in front of a Navy branch, the World Government would face absolutely no consequences!

With the World Government's overwhelming military might, they needed to abide by no rules!

Because the World Government…!!

Was the world's 'creator,' the architect of its rules!

Furthermore, during the destruction of the town next to Ignis Glow's branch, he learned that, this wouldn't be the first, nor the last.

According to the plan, the World Government's overwhelming power had to be established in the North Blue.

Especially with the impending confrontation between the Navy and the Whitebeard Pirates, the World Government wouldn't tolerate any dissent.

Therefore, the architect of this plan ruthlessly aimed to destroy dozens of North Blue towns!

The public excuse would be insufficient Heavenly Tribute payments!

Naturally, at this moment, with the three-ship fleet reduced to ash and wreckage, sunk near the G-64 Navy branch, the plan's continuation was thwarted.

Or rather, the person behind the plan, had specially requisitioned the World Government's most advanced warships from the Grand Line.

The goal was to intimidate the many forces of the North Blue.

But even the mastermind behind the plan, never anticipated,

that in this 'perfect' plan to intimidate the North Blue, a madman would dare to intervene.

Completely disregarding the immense pressure exerted by the World Government.

And, this 'madman' with a single strike!

Annihilated the World Government's fleet of three state-of-the-art warships!

Simultaneously, with the Summit War imminent, the world's attention was focused on the war between Marineford and the Whitebeard Pirates.

This indirectly led to another event!

After the World Government's Heavenly Tribute collection fleet in the North Blue was destroyed, when the Navy and World Government discovered a fleet had lost contact, two days had already passed!

And at that time, the entire North Blue, was about to face an event that would shake the North Blue and the Grand Line!

The Interrupted Meeting at Navy Headquarters, Sengoku: North Blue, Something Big Has Happened!

Two days later.

Seagulls soared across the clear sky.

Marineford.

Navy Headquarters.

A meeting concerning the Navy's and the world's future was underway.

Around the large oval table in the conference room, sixteen Navy Headquarters Vice Admirals, two Navy Admirals, along with the current Fleet Admiral Sengoku, Chief of Staff Tsuru, and others, all the Navy's high-ranking officers were gathered.

This serious atmosphere, if an ordinary person were present...
