Chapter 23 - chapter 23 Sabaody Archipelago arc.

Screen 1 – Arrival at the Mangroves

The Thousand Sunny drifts into the dazzling, bubble-covered Sabaody Archipelago.

Ben scans the area with the Omnitrix and frowns.

> Ben: "This island hides something. Stay sharp."

Behind the beauty lies the dark heart of the slave trade and Marine corruption.

---

Screen 2 – The Supernovas Gather

Eleven pirates with bounties over 100 million berries converge on Sabaody — the Worst Generation.

Luffy, Zoro, and now Ben Tennyson, stand among them.

> Ben: "Guess I'm part of the headline now."

Law, Kid, Bonney, Apoo, and the others turn heads as tensions rise between rookies.

---

Screen 3 – The Celestial Dragons

The crew learns the rule everyone fears:

> "Touch a Celestial Dragon and an Admiral will come."

Ben watches the nobles strut through the market.

Ben: "I really hate these guys already."

---

Screen 4 – Luffy's Punch

When a Dragon shoots Hatchan, Luffy snaps.

His fist crashes into the noble's face — a single punch that silences the world.

The Marines immediately call an Admiral.

---

Screen 5 – Pacifista Battle

Three Pacifistas corner the Straw Hats.

Ben activates the Ultimatrix Overdrive, towering sixty feet tall as Humungousaur.

He battles all three, leveling groves and vaporizing metal giants, winning through sheer power and tactics.

---

Screen 6 – Kizaru vs Ultimate Humungousaur

Light flares across the island as Admiral Kizaru arrives.

Ben fires volleys of biokinetic missiles, but Kizaru turns into light, dodges everything, and retaliates at photon speed.

Every beam and kick hits faster than Ben can react.

> Kizaru: "You're powerful… but slow, my friend. Light doesn't wait."

After a brief but brutal exchange, Kizaru's focused laser pierces Ben's shoulder.

A finishing light-kick sends him crashing through the mangroves.

Ben collapses, Omnitrix flashing red.

✅ Winner: Kizaru (High Difficulty)

Ben lies unconscious. The Straw Hats are left reeling.

---

Screen 7 – The Admiral's Fury

Kizaru wipes out pirate crews in moments.

Dozens of Pacifistas flood the battlefield.

The Straw Hats fight desperately; Luffy rages, but their defeat is inevitable.

Ben remains down, his armor cracked, unable to transform.

---

Screen 8 – Kuma's Arrival

The real Bartholomew Kuma appears.

Without malice, he uses his Paw-Paw Fruit to repel each Straw Hat into the sky — sending them to distant lands.

Ben vanishes in a flash of green light along with the others.

> Kuma: "We will never meet again… Farewell."

Silence falls over the broken island.

The Straw Hat Pirates — and Ben Tennyson — are scattered across the world.
