"My uncle's name is Rokkusu D. Jebeku.
After thirty-six years, I have returned from hell.
Children of the new era—prepare to taste despair!"
Thirty-six years ago, the Overlord of the Seas, Rokkusu, laughed madly above the Hidden Navy Headquarters.
That laughter was like thunder—deep, deafening, echoing across the skies.
Its reverberations coiled through the air, shaking the hearts of everyone who heard it.
Within that laughter lingered a madness that seemed capable of tearing the world apart.
Every person who felt it could not help but tremble.
"Damn it! Damn it! What in the world is going on?! One legend wasn't enough—now even this monster…"
Commander Kong, the Supreme Leader of the Allied Shinobi Forces, roared in disbelief and fury.
"It's really him… Rokkusu—the Overlord of the Sea from thirty-six years ago. How terrifying…"
Admiral Kizaru muttered, his usual mocking tone failing to hide the unease twisting his lips.
But while speaking of Rokkusu, his eyes were fixed on Sugisawa Yuuto.
Because he knew—whether it was Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King, or Rokkusu, the Overlord of the Sea—
their sudden return was no coincidence.
In this world, there was only one man capable of such an impossible thing.
"Ahhh… even the dead who've lain in their graves for decades have been resurrected. Just how terrifying is this Fairy Tail?"
Admiral Aokiji sighed, shaking his head, a trace of helpless awe in his eyes.
"Rokkusu!!!"
"It's really him—Rokkusu!!!"
"I remember that name!"
"Heh-heh-heh… that red-haired devil!"
"Rokkusu D. Jebeku—the Overlord of the Seas thirty-six years ago!"
"He once ruled the entire New World single-handedly!"
A collective gasp erupted across the battlefield.
At that moment—
when the true identity of Rokkusu, the Overlord of the Seas, was revealed—
the buried fear deep within every veteran shinobi over forty resurfaced.
Unconscious horror twisted their faces.
Meanwhile, the younger soldiers—those in their twenties or thirties—stared in bewilderment,
unable to understand why this single name made their elders tremble like frightened children.
"Rokkusu D. Jebeku—the demon who made Lord Garp a hero," whispered Gion, the alternate admiral known as Momousagi, her voice barely audible.
"How can someone dead for thirty-six years reappear? This defies all reason!"
"First it was Roger, the Pirate King—now Rokkusu? What's happening?"
"Could this all be the work of the Four Emperors' leader, Sugisawa Yuuto?"
"Yes! That's the only explanation!"
"To call back the spirits of the dead into the living world… is that man even human?"
The whispers spread like wildfire across the battlefield.
Sabaody Islands – Live Broadcast Plaza
Gasps and shouts rippled through the crowds.
"Rokkusu?"
"The Overlord of the Seas?"
"The one from thirty-six years ago?"
"I've never even heard that name!"
The younger onlookers shook their heads in confusion,
while the elders—those who had lived through that dark era—went pale.
"Ah—ahhh!"
"Rokkusu… it can't be…!"
As the Overlord's name echoed through the plaza,
long-buried memories awoke like ghosts rising from the depths.
"I know that name!"
"Yes—there's no mistake! Rokkusu, the Overlord of the Seas from thirty-six years ago!"
"That man was the most terrifying being of his time—no one could rival him!"
"The seas he ruled marked the darkest age in history!"
"And then, one day, he vanished… and all records of him were erased!"
"If it hadn't been mentioned now, I might've forgotten he ever existed!"
The crowd erupted again, those who had once heard his name shouting in panic.
"So it really is him… the Overlord of the Seas. To be honest, I only remember fragments, but still…"
murmured Capone Bege, captain of the Flame Tank Pirates, his face pale with disbelief.
"Ah-bah-bah-bah! Now it all makes sense!"
laughed Haiming Skulachman Apudao, the eccentric shipwright of the seas.
"I never imagined such a heavyweight would be resurrected! This war's getting more chaotic by the minute!"
said Urouge, the monk from the Sky Islands, eyes wide in shock.
"If it's truly the Overlord of the Seas, then it's no wonder he could command the Four Emperors and even the Golden Lion in their youth,"
muttered Killer Kira under his breath.
"So it's confirmed then… the one behind all these unnatural events is Sugisawa Yuuto, leader of Fairy Tail.
Just how terrifying is that man?"
gritted Rear Admiral Drake, his voice low and heavy.
"To share an era with someone like him…"
He exhaled sharply, his face grim.
"It's our misfortune to be alive in his time."
