In the first half of the Grand Line, on a certain floating island dedicated to meteorological research, Nami was staying. She had just finished taking a bath. Several months had passed since she was separated from the Straw Hat Pirates and sent away from the Sabaody Archipelago by Kuma. Over these months, Nami's temperament had become noticeably more mature, and her figure had become more alluring.
However, just as Nami stepped out of the bath, a woman with two horns on her head suddenly appeared inside the house. It was Ulti, one of the Tobiroppo of the Beast Pirates.
"Who are you?!" Nami cried out, her expression changing in shock. As a pirate, she possessed sharp intuition, and her instincts screamed that the person before her was dangerous. The Clima-Tact was not nearby, and without it, Nami had little combat power.
"Hmph! Weakling, surrender!" Ulti was clearly displeased. The woman in front of her was the one Elior had specifically ordered to be brought back. That alone made Ulti furious. She wondered why Nami, who she felt wasn't even that beautiful, would attract his attention. Despite Nami's fierce resistance, she was finally knocked unconscious by Ulti's punch. When the elderly researchers on Weather Island went to find their meteorological prodigy, they discovered she had vanished, and her residence had been completely trashed.
In the Kamabakka Kingdom, Sanji finally saw a ship appearing on the horizon after enduring months of torment. Just as he thought he could finally escape, a figure suddenly appeared: Law. Using the Op-Op Fruit, Law teleported and stabbed Sanji, cutting his body cleanly in half. Sanji felt no pain as Law activated his ROOM.
"ROOM,"
Law muttered coldly. Less than a minute later, Sanji's body was dismembered into dozens of pieces. Law held Sanji's still-beating heart in his hand, his expression indifferent.
"Follow your orders, and don't become that man's enemy in your next life." With that, Law crushed the heart completely. Sanji's eyes widened in terror, and three seconds later, his life ended. Cavendish and Law emerged victorious over the island's residents and Ivankov.
On another gloomy island, Zoro was training relentlessly, battling baboons that mimicked his movements. The death of Mihawk at the hands of Elior had been a devastating blow, and Zoro was struggling to regain his resolve. Today, an uninvited guest arrived: Shiryu. Wielding Raiu and the power of the Wither-Wither Fruit granted by Elior, Shiryu exuded a lethal aura.
Zoro bit down on his third sword, a dark aura erupting from his body.
"Someone from the Elior Pirates!" he growled. The battle began, but the gap in strength was painfully clear. Shiryu's swordsmanship, merged with his rotting fruit powers, was incomparably lethal.
Half an hour later, Zoro lay on the ground, critically wounded.
"By the captain's order, I'll leave you a whole body. Don't worry, your companions will soon join you." Shiryu pierced Zoro's heart, ending his life on the spot. He then reclaimed the legendary blade Shusui. Nearby, he discovered Perona. Instead of killing her, he decided to capture her as a gift for Elior.
Elsewhere, the remaining Straw Hat Pirates: Usopp, Chopper, Brook, and Franky: were eliminated one after another. The annihilation was nearly complete. As for Luffy, he was still with Rayleigh. That very day, Bullet and Crocodile arrived at their location, ready to end the era of the Straw Hats once and for all.
