Sing the World
Sabaody Archipelago – Live Broadcast Plaza.
Crowds packed the plaza, eyes fixed on the enormous screen overhead.
The live broadcast showed a sight that froze everyone in disbelief—
the Four Emperors' leader, Sugisawa Yuuto, mercilessly overwhelming Admiral Akainu in a one-sided battle.
Reporters, spectators, and curious onlookers alike stood stunned, their words catching in their throats. Even those trying to report the event had forgotten their microphones.
"Unbelievable… absolutely terrifying!" someone gasped.
"The Fairy Tail Guild Master, Sugisawa Yuuto—just how powerful is he?!"
"Admiral Sakazuki represents the very peak of Marine Headquarters' power!"
"Sure, an Admiral isn't quite at a Four Emperor's level, but the gap shouldn't be this massive!"
Another shouted, "Just earlier, Sakazuki defeated Whitebeard himself!"
"Right! And now that same Admiral who crushed Whitebeard is getting destroyed by Sugisawa Yuuto!"
Mouths hung open. Eyes were wide and dry from staring too long without blinking.
"No, no! That's not the whole story!" one analyst cried, pushing up his glasses.
"Strictly speaking, Whitebeard wasn't taken down by Akainu alone!"
"That's true. First came that treacherous sneak attack from Squard the Vortex Spider, and then—"
"Yes, Akainu delivered the fatal blow, but the combined attacks from countless Marines played a huge part!"
"And most importantly, Whitebeard was already far too old—he was riddled with injuries!"
"In comparison," another added, "Sugisawa Yuuto is in his absolute prime! He even defeated Kaido of the Beasts!"
"In this era, Whitebeard's title as 'the world's strongest man' was merely symbolic. The real strongest—
—is Fairy Tail's Sugisawa Yuuto!"
The plaza buzzed with heated debate and wild theories.
But one reporter suddenly snapped back to reality, his voice trembling.
"No, now's not the time to analyze! If this keeps up, Admiral Sakazuki might actually be beaten to death!"
"This is the fight Akainu picked himself," another said coldly. "If he dies, that's on him.
Still… things have gone too far. The other Marine powerhouses won't sit by and watch."
As if answering that thought—
BOOM!
On the battlefield, Fleet Admiral Sengoku's furious shout echoed, shaking the ground.
Sugisawa Yuuto halted his assault mid-strike, his expression calm as he lowered his hand.
The spectators in Sabaody Plaza collectively exhaled, releasing the breath they didn't realize they'd been holding.
"Looks like the Fairy Tail Master isn't completely reckless," someone sneered.
"Even he knows when to stop—he's in Marine territory, after all. Guess he doesn't want to go too far."
"No! Wait—something's not right!" a reporter cried out, his eyes widening as he leaned toward the screen.
"He didn't stop because of Sengoku… look! Over there!"
Gasps rippled through the plaza.
"Who… who are those people?!"
A deathly silence fell over Sabaody. For several long seconds, not a single person spoke.
Then—
"Straw Hat!!!"
"That's Straw Hat Luffy!!!"
"The Straw Hat Pirates just appeared on the battlefield!"
"How did he even get there? Did he just—teleport?!"
Among the gathered rookies—the Supernovas—shock spread like wildfire.
"That's not just the Straw Hat," murmured Urouge, the Mad Monk. "Look at that man beside him…
That's Pluton Rayleigh—the legendary Dark King himself! A pirate from the previous era!"
"And there's Crocodile! The former Warlord who was beaten by Fairy Tail—
I thought he was thrown into Impel Down!" exclaimed Capone Bege, captain of the Fire Tank Pirates.
"Jinbei too," Urouge added, brows furrowing. "When did the Sea Knight appear on the battlefield?"
"And Blackbeard…" muttered Drake, his voice low and grim. "Where's he been all this time? And who are those people with him?"
Trafalgar Law crossed his arms, eyes sharp. "There's no mistaking it.
Those new arrivals—Luffy, Rayleigh, the others—they all came from outside the battlefield."
"Which means…" Kid clenched his fists tightly. "Fairy Tail's behind it. Sugisawa Yuuto did this!"
But the chaos wasn't limited to the plaza's screen.
Even in Sabaody itself, strange energy began to pulse.
People who had fallen moments ago were suddenly standing again, confused but unharmed.
"I get it now," said Shakky softly, watching the display. "Marineford… Sabaody… even the fallen…
They've all been pulled into this. It's magic—Sugisawa Yuuto's magic."
Her tone carried neither fear nor surprise, only quiet understanding.
She knew Yuuto well enough to trust in both his power and his purpose.
For a long moment, silence blanketed Sabaody Plaza. Then—
WOOOAAHHHH!!!
The crowd exploded into uproarious noise.
"Straw Hat! It's really Straw Hat Luffy!"
"No—it's not just him! That old man—look! That's—"
"Pluton Rayleigh! The Dark King himself, the right hand of the Pirate King!"
"Rayleigh's here to rescue Roger's son? If so, he's too late!"
"And that young man next to him—that's Sabo, the Revolutionary Army's Chief of Staff!"
"The other three with him—they're the division commanders of the Revolutionary Army! I've seen their faces in the papers!"
"Crocodile, Jinbei, Blackbeard… they're all there!"
"Wait, wait! Why are the people around Blackbeard wearing Impel Down prison uniforms?!"
"This isn't normal—how the hell did they all appear out of nowhere?!"
The reporters and onlookers shouted over one another, panic and awe mixing in their voices.
And the question that burned in every mind—
wasn't just being asked here.
At that same moment—
—on the battlefield itself, the Straw Hat crew, Blackbeard's gang, the Revolutionary Army, and countless Marines all stared wide-eyed at the scene before them.
Every soldier, every pirate, every viewer across the world wanted to know the same thing.
Just what had Sugisawa Yuuto done to bring them all here?
