.
A few days passed peacefully.
Currently—
The Marine ship carrying Garp and Ramon was sailing back toward Marineford.
The weather was bright.
Large waves crashed gently against the sides of the ship while Marines moved around handling their duties.
Meanwhile—
At the center of the ship—
BOOM!!
BOOM!!
BOOM!!
Ramon and Garp were both training by punching massive Sea Stone blocks repeatedly without using Armament Haki.
Every punch created loud shockwaves across the deck.
The Sea Stone itself had already become heavily dented from their constant training.
Nearby Marines could only stare with sweat on their faces.
Suddenly—
A News Coo descended from the sky.
Several Marines immediately bought newspapers from it.
But the moment they opened the newspaper—
Their eyes widened in shock.
“WHAT?!”
“No way!”
“Seriously?!”
Hearing the commotion—
Garp stopped punching the Sea Stone block and looked toward them.
“What happened?”
“Why are all of you yelling?”
Nearby—
Bogard quietly took one newspaper and started reading it.
After a few seconds—
He slowly walked toward Garp and Ramon.
“Mr.
Garp.”
“Ramon.”
“Our clash against Roger Pirates and Whitebeard Pirates has already reached the newspapers.”
Garp picked his nose lazily.
“Oh?”
“What nonsense are they writing now?”
Meanwhile—
Ramon immediately became interested.
“Mr.
Bogard, let me see.”
Bogard nodded and handed the newspaper to him.
Ramon took it and immediately looked at the giant headline printed on the front page.
His eyes narrowed slightly.
The headline read:
“Marine Hero Vice Admiral Garp And His Nine-Year-Old Grandson Clash Against Roger And Whitebeard Pirates on an Island and broke their allience!”
For a moment—
Silence.
Then suddenly—
Ramon burst into laughter.
“KUHAHAHAHAHAHA!!”
“Who’s the idiot that wrote this garbage?!”
Nearby Marines awkwardly looked away.
Bogard calmly replied,
“There’s nothing we can do about it.”
“This is how the World Government controls information.”
Ramon clicked his tongue slightly before continuing to read the article.
Meanwhile—
Bogard started summarizing the contents calmly.
“They wrote that you fought Silvers Rayleigh for several hours until he retreated.”
“They also wrote that you fought Kozuki Oden for three entire days on equal footing.”
Hearing that—
Ramon laughed again.
“At least that part isn’t completely false.”
Then his expression became calmer.
“But Rayleigh didn’t run because he feared me.”
“He simply didn’t want to waste more time fighting me.”
Ramon’s eyes narrowed slightly as he remembered the battle.
‘If Rayleigh truly wanted… he could’ve killed me within minutes.’
‘He was holding back most of the time.’
Then—
CRACK!!
The newspaper crumpled inside Ramon’s hand from the force of his grip.
His expression became serious.
“These newspapers are garbage.”
“I’m still weak.”
After saying that—
He threw the newspaper aside carelessly and started walking back toward the Sea Stone block again.
Then—
BOOM!!
Another punch landed on the block.
BOOM!!
BOOM!!
BOOM!!
He continued punching it repeatedly with monstrous force.
Meanwhile—
Bogard silently watched Ramon training again.
Then he muttered quietly to himself,
“…Yeah.”
“And he calls himself weak after fighting monsters at Admiral level.”
Bogard narrowed his eyes slightly while watching Ramon train relentlessly.
‘That kid…’
‘He’s going to shake the entire world someday.’
Somewhere else in the New World—
On Whole Cake Island—
A massive tea party was currently taking place.
Gigantic tables filled with sweets, cakes, chocolates, and candies stretched across the area endlessly.
Countless members of the Big Mom Pirates were attending the celebration nervously while music played loudly in the background.
At the center—
Sat none other than Big Mom herself.
“MAMAMAMAMAMA!!”
“Where’s my cake?!”
The moment her voice echoed—
Everyone nearby trembled in fear.
Suddenly—
Charlotte Perospero hurried forward nervously.
“Mama!”
“The cake is almost here!”
“Please wait just a few more minutes!”
Big Mom narrowed her terrifying eyes slightly.
“FAST.”
“Tell them to hurry up, Perospero.”
“If my tea party gets ruined…”
A monstrous aura slowly leaked from her body.
“…I’ll kill them all.”
Cold sweat instantly covered Perospero’s forehead.
“Yes, Mama!”
Without wasting another second—
He immediately ran toward the mirror transportation route to contact the chefs and ships.
Meanwhile—
From the distance—
Another figure slowly approached.
It was Charlotte Katakuri.
He was holding a newspaper in his hand while his expression remained unusually serious.
Big Mom noticed him immediately.
“Oh?”
“Katakuri.”
“Why do you look so tense?”
Katakuri stopped in front of her and spoke calmly, “Mama.”
“There’s a new kid in the Marines who might interest you.”
Big Mom raised an eyebrow.
“Oh?”
“What’s so special about him?”
Katakuri slowly handed her the newspaper.
“According to our information…”
“That kid possesses a physique comparable to yours.”
Big Mom’s smile slowly faded.
Katakuri continued,
“Not only that…”
“He also possesses monstrous vitality and recovery abilities similar to Kaido.”
“And it’s confirmed he’s currently not a Devil Fruit user.”
For the first time—
Big Mom looked genuinely surprised.
“What?”
Katakuri nodded.
“Yes, Mama.”
Then he continued,
“According to this newspaper…”
“He fought Silvers Rayleigh for several hours.”
“Then fought Kozuki Oden continuously for three days.”
Hearing that—
Big Mom slowly stopped reading the newspaper.
Then suddenly—
A huge grin spread across her face.
“MAMAMAMAMAMAMA!!”
“What an interesting brat!”
A dangerous light appeared inside her eyes.
“Katakuri.”
“If he refuses…”
“I’ll kill his family and drag him here myself.”
The moment Katakuri heard that—
His expression instantly changed slightly.
“Mama.”
“That won’t be easy.”
Big Mom looked toward him.
“What do you mean?”
Katakuri calmly answered,
“He’s the grandson of Garp.”
“And the son of Monkey D.
Dragon.”
Silence.
For a brief moment—
Even Big Mom stopped laughing.
“…What?”
Katakuri nodded calmly.
“Yes, Mama.”
“We can’t casually touch his family.”
“The Marines would go crazy.”
“And Dragon would never stay silent either.”
Big Mom remained silent for a few seconds.
Then—
Suddenly—
She started laughing again loudly.
“MAMAMAMAMAMAMA!!”
“Interesting!”
“Very interesting!”
Then her eyes narrowed greedily.
“Keep watching him.”
“If that brat ever leaves Marineford and enters the New World…”
“Inform me immediately.”
Katakuri nodded.
“Yes, Mama.”
Then he turned around and slowly walked away.
Meanwhile—
Big Mom leaned back on her chair while laughing loudly to herself.
“MAMAMAMAMAMA!!”
‘Just wait…’
‘If I can bring that kid into the Charlotte Family…’
‘Then the strongest bloodline in the world will finally be born.’
Her eyes gleamed with greed and madness.
‘The blood of Garp’s family…’
‘Combined with my family…’
‘That child would become the ultimate monster.’
“MAMAMAMAMAMAMA!!”
Her laughter echoed across the entire tea party island while nearby pirates trembled nervously.
On another side of the sea—
Aboard the ship of the Roger Pirates—
Loud laughter echoed across the deck.
“AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!”
At the center of the ship—
Gol D.
Roger was sitting carefreely while drinking alcohol directly from a large bottle.
His face was slightly red from drinking.
In his hand—
A newspaper fluttered because of the sea wind.
Roger laughed loudly again before looking toward Silvers Rayleigh.
“Rayleigh!”
“You couldn’t even beat a nine-year-old brat properly!”
“And in the end you even ran away from him!”
“HAHAHAHAHAHA!!”
The entire crew burst into laughter.
Meanwhile—
Rayleigh’s eyebrow twitched in irritation.
“Roger.”
“That kid isn’t someone you should underestimate.”
His expression became serious.
“Below Admiral level…”
“He’s practically invincible.”
Hearing that—
Roger slowly stopped laughing for a moment.
Then—
A grin slowly appeared on his face again.
“Yeah…”
“I can see that.”
He took another large gulp from the bottle.
“That brat has terrifying potential.”
“The greatest potential I’ve ever seen in my life.”
Then Roger leaned back while laughing again.
“AHAHAHAHAHA!!”
But suddenly—
BAM!!
A fist landed directly on Roger’s head.
“Ow!!”
Roger immediately looked back pitifully.
Behind him stood Crocus with an irritated expression.
“Enough, Roger.”
“Stop drinking so much.”
“Your health is already bad enough.”
Roger instantly started complaining.
“Come on, Crocus!”
“Just one more bottle!”
“No.”
“Please?”
“No means no.”
Roger immediately looked depressed.
“You’re too cruel…”
Meanwhile—
The surrounding crew members started laughing loudly at Roger getting scolded again.
Elsewhere on the ship—
Kozuki Oden was sitting beside his wife Kozuki Toki.
Toki was holding their children while looking slightly shocked.
“You really fought that child for three whole days?”
Oden nodded seriously.
“Yeah.”
“That kid is a complete monster.”
He remembered the battle and laughed loudly.
“Even after fighting nonstop for three days…”
“I was completely exhausted.”
“But that brat…”
Oden’s eyes narrowed slightly.
“I don’t think he was even close to his limit.”
Toki looked surprised.
“What?”
Oden continued,
“His stamina is ridiculous.”
“His defense is monstrous.”
“And his vitality…”
Oden shook his head slightly.
“I’ve honestly never seen anything like it before.”
Then he grinned.
“And the scary part is…”
“He’s only nine years old.”
Nearby—
Young Shanks and Buggy were also reading the newspaper.
Buggy shivered slightly.
“That demon again…”
Shanks laughed a little.
“Still scared?”
Buggy immediately yelled,
“OF COURSE I’M SCARED!!”
“That monster kept standing up again and again after getting cut by Vice Captain!”
Meanwhile—
Far away on another ship—
The Whitebeard Pirates were also reading the same newspaper.
At the center—
Whitebeard laughed loudly while holding the newspaper.
“GURARARARARARA!!”
“That brat really made a huge name for himself!”
Nearby crew members also started discussing loudly.
“These newspapers exaggerate too much.”
“Still…”
“That Marine kid really is terrifying.”
“Fighting Commander-level monsters at nine years old…”
“That’s insane.”
Meanwhile—
Marco silently looked toward the sea while remembering Ramon’s earlier words.
‘The future won’t remain the same if you stay weak.’
Marco narrowed his eyes slightly.
Then—
Far away across the endless sea—
The name of Ramon had already begun spreading rapidly throughout the world.
At Marineford—
Inside one of the Marine training camps—
Two young Marines were currently sitting while reading newspapers.
The atmosphere around the training ground was noisy as Marines trained everywhere.
But suddenly—
One of the young Marines lowered the newspaper slightly and looked toward the blond young man beside him.
“Scary… right?”
“Did you read this news, Sakasuki?”
“That kid is a complete monster.”
Hearing that— New chapters come out on g.com first.
The young Sakazuki, who was still known mostly by his real name rather than his future title, slowly looked at the newspaper again.
The headline about Ramon’s clash against Roger Pirates and Whitebeard Pirates reflected in his eyes.
For a few moments—
He stayed silent.
Then—
He slowly clenched his fist.
“I need to become stronger.”
His voice was calm but heavy.
“Strong enough to crush every pirate in this world.”
A dangerous determination flashed inside his eyes.
Beside him—
Borsalino glanced at Sakazuki lazily.
He had already become used to this personality.
“Oohh…”
“Scary~”
“But that kid really is terrifying.”
“He’s only nine years old and already fighting monsters like Silvers Rayleigh and Kozuki Oden…”
Borsalino scratched his cheek slightly.
“That kind of talent is abnormal~”
Meanwhile—
Elsewhere in Marineford—
Inside the Fleet Admiral office—
The atmosphere was heavy.
Present inside the office were:
Sengoku
Zephyr
Tsuru
Kong
Several newspapers were spread across the table.
All of them contained the same topic—
Ramon.
Silence filled the room for several moments.
Then—
Zephyr finally spoke.
“We underestimated that kid.”
His expression was serious.
“He has technically remained a trainee since he was five years old because we couldn’t officially make someone that young a true Marine.”
Zephyr crossed his arms.
“But now…”
“He’s already become this strong.”
His eyes narrowed slightly.
“Are you all still planning to keep him as a trainee?”
Hearing that—
Tsuru nodded calmly.
“I agree.”
“He’s already earned enough prestige.”
“And his strength is already more than enough.”
She glanced toward the newspapers.
“The only real issue was his age.”
“But after fighting Rayleigh and Oden…”
“I don’t think anyone can question his qualifications anymore.”
Sengoku sighed heavily while rubbing his forehead.
“Fine.”
“Then what rank are we even supposed to give him?”
The room became silent again.
Everyone started thinking.
After a few seconds—
Tsuru spoke again.
“What about Captain?”
“We could give him his own ship.”
The moment she said that—
Sengoku instantly stood up.
“I agree.”
Everyone inside the room looked toward him strangely.
Even Kong raised an eyebrow slightly.
“Sengoku.”
“You agreed awfully quickly.”
“What happened?”
Before Sengoku could answer—
Zephyr suddenly burst into laughter.
“HAHAHAHAHA!!”
“It’s nothing, Fleet Admiral.”
“It’s just that Sengoku doesn’t want Ramon staying in Marineford anymore.”
Tsuru immediately understood and covered her mouth slightly.
Even Kong looked amused.
Zephyr continued laughing.
“The previous goat Sengoku raised got eaten by Ramon.”
“So Sengoku has been desperately trying to make sure Ramon leaves Marineford as often as possible before another goat disappears.”
The room instantly became quieter.
Then—
A small chuckle escaped from Kong.
Even Tsuru smiled slightly.
Meanwhile—
Sengoku’s face darkened completely.
Veins bulged on his forehead.
But after a few moments—
He forcefully calmed himself down again.
“…That brat.”
Zephyr laughed even harder.
Finally—
Kong slowly stood up.
“Alright.”
“Then it’s decided.”
He looked toward Tsuru.
“Prepare the official promotion documents.”
“From today onward…”
“Ramon will officially become a Marine Captain.”
Kong’s eyes sharpened slightly.
“Let the pirates of the world know…”
“The Marines now possess a monster capable of fighting monsters.”
Soon—
Another piece of news spread throughout the seas.
The World Government officially announced Ramon’s promotion.
From this day onward—
Ramon was no longer a Marine trainee.
He had officially become a Marine Captain.
Meanwhile—
On the Marine ship sailing across the New World—
Garp and Ramon were also reading the newspaper.
The moment Garp saw the announcement—
He burst into loud laughter.
“BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!”
“Ramon!”
“Looks like you’re officially a Marine Captain now!”
He laughed while slapping his knee repeatedly.
“Good!”
“Looks like the Marines finally realized they can’t keep you as a trainee forever after what you did!”
Nearby Marines also looked at Ramon with admiration and awe.
A nine-year-old Marine Captain.
That alone sounded unbelievable.
Not only that—
This Captain had fought monsters like Silvers Rayleigh and Kozuki Oden head-on.
Meanwhile—
Bogard slowly walked toward Ramon.
“Congratulations, Ramon.”
“For your promotion.”
Hearing that—
Ramon simply nodded calmly.
“Thanks.”
That was all.
There wasn’t much excitement on his face.
To him—
Rank meant very little.
Only strength truly mattered.
‘Captain… Vice Admiral… Admiral…’
‘None of it matters if you’re weak.’
Without saying another word—
Ramon turned around and walked back toward the massive Sea Stone block placed on the deck.
Then—
BOOM!!
His fist slammed into the block again.
BOOM!!
BOOM!!
BOOM!!
Shockwaves spread across the ship repeatedly.
The heavily dented Sea Stone block shook violently with every punch.
Nearby Marines swallowed nervously while watching.
Sweat rolled down some of their faces.
Even after becoming famous across the world…
Even after receiving promotion…
Even after fighting legends…
Ramon still trained like a madman every single day.
Meanwhile—
Garp looked at Ramon training again and started laughing proudly.
“BWAHAHAHAHA!!”
“That’s my grandson!”
Bogard silently watched Ramon for a few moments before narrowing his eyes slightly.
‘At this rate…’
‘It won’t take long before the world starts fearing his name even more than they already do.’
