"Hm?"
"What's going on?"
"What?!"
At that very moment, the Marine forces stationed throughout the New World simultaneously received a flood of distress calls requesting urgent assistance.
All of them widened their eyes in utter shock.
"This is…"
Every one of them was filled with disbelief.
Impossible…
The Rocks Pirates had gone completely insane?
They were simultaneously launching attacks on so many nations!
And every single one of those nations was a member state of the World Government.
"Report!"
"Reporting in!"
"Yes, sir!"
With these cries, the entire base erupted into chaos as everyone scrambled into action.
---
Elsewhere...
"OH HAHAHAHAHA!!"
Rocks D. Xebec, the helmsman of chaos, let out a manic laugh. A savage grin twisted across his face as he growled, "These guys are all nuts—every single one of them. But that's good. As long as they've started moving… that's all that matters."
"Oi, you lot!"
"Start moving out! All of you!"
"This time…"
"Whatever treasure you plunder is yours to keep!"
"ROAR!!!"
Upon hearing this, the pirates went absolutely berserk. Their targets were iron-clad empires—nations rich with industrial power and wealth. Just how much treasure could they seize?
To the lunatics of the Rocks Pirates, it was enough to drive them mad with greed!
"MOMOMOMOM~!"
Linlin also burst into crazed laughter. "Kaido! Kaido! Looks like this is getting more and more interesting!"
"Hmph!"
Kaido let out a displeased grunt. He was irritated that Arthur had been assigned a solo mission, while he and Linlin were sent to attack the Kingdom of Adam.
Was this some kind of insult—saying his strength wasn't on par with Arthur's?
…Even if it was true, Kaido wasn't about to accept that quietly.
"Well then!"
With a twisted grin, Kaido growled menacingly, "I'll use your blood to show you the price of underestimating me, bastard!"
His crimson eyes flared with fury—like the gaze of a demon awakening from the depths of hell.

At the same time…
Rocks, Linlin, Edward, Shiki, Captain John, Ochoku, and Silver Axe—
The captain of the Rocks Pirates and his six elite officers.
All began moving at once.
Each led their own forces and struck out toward seven different countries—all member states of the World Government. Their targets included terrifying superpowers like the Kingdom of Adam and the Iron Empire.
And not just them…
Arthur too led a fleet toward another nation.
Splash... Splash...
Crash... Crash...
Their pirate ships cut through the sea.
Standing at the bow, Arthur narrowed his eyes and curved his lips into a grin. He murmured, "Crazy plan, huh? …Love it."
If there's going to be chaos—let everyone join in.
Let the entire New World erupt into full-blown anarchy.
Not just the main crew—the subsidiary crews of the Rocks Pirates were also going berserk. With a staggering force of 150,000 pirates, the entire armada surged into action.
No matter what the Marines did, they wouldn't be able to stop them in time. The only option was for the World Government itself to mobilize its troops—weakening the defenses on the Red Line.

"Bro Arthur!"
"Hm?"
Responding to the shout, Arthur turned back with a grin. "In this operation, every bit of treasure is yours to keep. How much you get depends on your own skills! No tribute to the Rocks Pirates required."
"ROOOAR!!"
"ROAR!!"
The frenzied pirates roared in approval. Over a dozen officers behind Arthur bared their teeth, utterly lost in the madness.
They couldn't beat Arthur—but that didn't mean they were happy to follow his orders either.
Now? It didn't matter.
As long as the money flowed, nothing else mattered.
This wasn't just Arthur's approach—everyone issued the same command.
Because—
They all knew one thing clearly: in order to get everyone to fight with everything they had in this chaotic operation, the price had to be right. Without that, these lunatics wouldn't give it their all.
If they were going to unleash madness—then let it be total madness.
"Besides…"
Arthur understood clearly—barring any surprises, what Rocks truly wanted was the eternal pose pointing to God Valley.
Across this vast sea, he had never once heard of any solid information about God Valley.
But…
That was where the Celestial Dragons held their gatherings.
It was highly likely the eternal pose was located on the Red Line. The outside world had virtually no access to it.
Not surprising at all.
"Using the name of the Rocks Pirates, this plunder... will be the last."
Arthur squinted, mulling it over in his mind.
This was something both he, Edward, and Shiki understood well:
The Rocks Pirates would disband.
What came after didn't matter.
What did matter—was using this opportunity to steal as much wealth as possible.
And what was more valuable than the wealth of a nation?
Any country that could qualify as a member of the World Government was guaranteed to possess immense treasure.

"Bro Arthur!"
"Bro Arthur!"
"We're almost there!"
"Hm."
As the shouts of the pirates reached his ears, Arthur nodded. In the distance loomed a country styled like a medieval castle. His lips split into a grin as he declared excitedly, "Get ready! How much gold and silver you can get—it's all up to you!"
"GAHAHAHA!!!"
"ROAR!!!"
"ROOAAAARRRR!!!"
The pirates erupted in a frenzy.
Mad Rocks.
Mad pirates.
Everyone…
Was plunging headfirst into this festival of chaos.
