After Doflamingo's fall, the victory ripples across the seas. Seven powerful pirate crews, inspired by the chaos of Dressrosa, gather before Luffy and Ben. They kneel — not out of fear, but gratitude.
They raise their cups of sake and pledge themselves to the Straw Hat Grand Fleet.
When the captains speak, they include Ben in their vow:
> "We sail for the Straw Hat and the Second Star!"
Ben folds his arms, tone steady.
> "I'm not your leader. I just fight beside the guy who is."
Luffy grins wide.
> "Then we'll lead together!"
Ben sighs, half-smiling.
> "Fine — but don't expect me to remember all your names."
Deep down, though, he respects them — not as subordinates, but as comrades. The Grand Fleet isn't just Luffy's legacy now. It's proof of how much they've changed the seas together.

Screen 2 — Justice and Respect
Admiral Fujitora stands in the wreckage of Dressrosa, his blade grounded in the earth. He saw Ben's battle — saw him risk his life to shield civilians from falling debris and collapse an entire wall to protect innocents.
When the smoke clears, he murmurs quietly:
> "If more men with power used it the way you do, this world might not need Marines at all."
Ben looks at him, serious but calm.
> "If more Marines were like you, it wouldn't need people like me."
From that moment, respect turns into understanding. Fujitora refuses to file a full report about Ben's involvement, saying only:
> "Justice takes many forms — some wear uniforms, some wear green."
Behind closed doors, Fujitora privately calls him "a warrior of true balance."

Screen 3 — The Price of Victory
Dressrosa stands free. The citizens weep and cheer as sunlight floods the city for the first time in years.
Fujitora kneels before the people — a Marine Admiral bowing to apologize for the government's failure.
But even as the crowd celebrates, Fujitora warns the Straw Hats:
> "You've torn down a Warlord… but in doing so, you've declared war on the system itself."
The world now knows of the Straw Hat–Heart Alliance, and Ben Tennyson's name echoes alongside theirs — hero to some, weapon to others.

Screen 4 — Kaido's Wrath
In a storm-wracked fortress above the clouds, Kaido receives the news.
His SMILE factories — destroyed.
Doflamingo — defeated.
Caesar — captured.
The names on the report read: Monkey D. Luffy. Trafalgar Law. Ben Tennyson.
Kaido crushes the paper in his hand and roars, splitting the sky.
> "That alien brat cost me an army!"
From that day, Ben becomes one of the few beings Kaido personally swears to kill, branding him "the green demon who broke the chain of beasts."

Screen 5 — Akainu's Fury
At Marine Headquarters, Fleet Admiral Akainu's office shakes as molten fists slam into steel.
> "That alien freak humiliated the Marines — and now one of my own is defending him?!"
He declares Ben Tennyson an Omega-Class Threat, placing him on the same level as Monkey D. Dragon and Monkey D. Luffy.
But Fujitora doesn't flinch.
> "If justice means following hate," he says, sheathing his blade,
"then I'll walk my own path."
Akainu glares through the smoke, fury rising.
Fujitora walks away.
Outside, the wind carries a single quiet laugh —
Ben's.
> "Guess I'm officially the most wanted guy who's not even from this planet."
Luffy smirks.
> "Welcome to the New World, partner."
