In it, the former titleholder stated plainly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I lost. The gap between our strengths is undeniable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that single declaration, the long-standing debate among swordsmen all across the Grand Line came to an end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vice Admiral \"Seiryū\" Tachibana Kyūjō—a Marine—had ascended to the peak of the blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as he stood at the summit of swordsmanship, all three forms of Haki within him continued to evolve, surging forward at a frightening and ever-stable pace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Navy wasted no time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment this news hit the papers, Marine Headquarters launched a massive propaganda campaign. Kyūjō's name echoed across the seas, winning admiration from the masses. New recruits flooded in, eager to serve under the Marine who had tamed the sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But not everyone was thrilled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many swordsmen couldn't stomach it. Some were outraged that a Marine—someone shackled to the system—had claimed such a sacred title.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so, they came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One after another, every ten days or so, swordsmen began showing up at G-11, the Marine base on Malt Island, demanding a duel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None of them were amateurs. Anyone capable of crossing the New World just to challenge Kyūjō was a master in their own right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even after a full year, not a single challenger could topple him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After twenty-plus consecutive victories over renowned swordsmen, no one could deny it anymore:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tachibana Kyūjō had earned the title of the World's Strongest Swordsman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>— — —\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One year later — Year 1509 of the Sea Calendar\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On one of his rare breaks from active duty, Kyūjō boarded the warship Blue Dragon and traveled through the Calm Belt and the Gates of Justice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within just a week, he arrived at Marineford—Marine Headquarters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>— — —\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the Fleet Admiral's Office\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyūjō pushed open the heavy door without knocking, as usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, a grizzled old man with a braided beard was hunched over his desk, drowning in endless paperwork.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So this is the price of being Fleet Admiral, huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyūjō couldn't help but sigh internally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're back. Close the door. And next time, knock first,\" Sengoku said flatly, not even looking up from his documents. His pen moved with relentless speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyūjō gave a nonchalant shrug and kicked the door shut behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, Uncle, why do you always look so swamped? I swear, your work efficiency is garbage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aren't there like... tons of advisors in the Navy to handle this stuff? You're the Fleet Admiral. Shouldn't you just focus on big-picture strategies or whatever?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sengoku gave a small smile and shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still too young…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he didn't keep all authority tightly in his own hands, the World Government would devour it piece by piece.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What is the essence of power?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Appointment rights, financial control, and personal charisma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first two are obvious. As for charisma—well, only a few figures in the Navy possessed true influence: the \"Hero\" Monkey D. Garp, Sengoku himself, and the Three Admirals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charisma isn't just about titles. It's forged through victory, strategy, and overwhelming strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as long as that aura remained intact, power stayed with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let go of it even a little—and it would slowly slip away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sengoku had no intention of explaining all that to Kyūjō. Some people simply weren't suited for bureaucracy. Explaining it would be a waste of breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>— — —\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About ten minutes later, Sengoku signed off on the last document and finally looked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, how are things in the New World? I heard Kaido went on another rampage last month. You and Akainu handled it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyūjō was busy rummaging through Sengoku's shelves when he found a bag of senbei crackers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Completely ignoring Sengoku's twitching eyebrow, he opened the bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crunch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mmm… grilled chicken flavor. Nice and crispy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Same as always. Honestly, I'm more surprised when Kaido doesn't go berserk for a few weeks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He chomped down another piece, speaking with his mouth half-full.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sengoku fought the urge to blow a gasket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is all Garp's fault…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After cursing Garp in his heart, he turned serious again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kyūjō, your base at G-11 and Akainu's base at G-10 are both key strongholds in the New World. These are crucial to the Navy's long-term strategy. You must not take that responsibility lightly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyūjō smiled, waving it off like it was no big deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, yeah, I got it. Relax, Uncle Sengoku. As long as I'm there, and Akainu too, the New World's under control.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, something on Sengoku's desk caught Kyūjō's eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A document.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One name jumped out:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Corazon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyūjō's expression instantly sharpened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Corazon\" was the codename for the Heart Executive of the Donquixote Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the current holder of that title was none other than Donquixote Rosinante—Sengoku's adopted son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosinante was the younger brother of Donquixote Doflamingo, the Heavenly Yaksha. The infamous underground broker. The kingpin of darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But how had he, of all people, become Sengoku's adopted son?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That... was a long story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Donquixote family had once been Celestial Dragons—Tenryūbito.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But their father, Donquixote Homing, made a shocking decision when Doflamingo was just eight years old: he gave up their godly status and chose to live as normal humans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What followed was misery. The family was scorned and hunted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, Doflamingo snapped. Two years after leaving Mariejois, he killed his father and brought the severed head back—only to be coldly rejected by the World Government.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosinante, however, walked a very different path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rescued by Admiral Sengoku as a child, he was adopted and raised in Marineford.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Years later, he became a Commander in the Navy. When he learned that his brother had turned into a monster of the underworld...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He volunteered to infiltrate the Donquixote Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He earned Doflamingo's trust. Climbed the ranks. Became \"Corazon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All to stop his brother from within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Kyūjō remembered one tragic detail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the year Rosinante was supposed to die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shot by Doflamingo after trying to steal the Ope Ope no Mi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>— — —\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Rosinante died... wouldn't Sengoku be devastated?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And what about the kid?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trafalgar D. Water Law.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the manga, Kyūjō had always liked two characters the most: Zoro and Law.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So why not bring Law to G-11?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raise him in the Navy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He already wielded a sword, didn't he?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A swordsman with the Ope Ope no Mi?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just thinking about it gave Kyūjō chills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to save Rosinante.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would it mess up the timeline?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who cares.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did Law have to join the Straw Hats anyway?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Becoming a Marine is just as valid a future!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What's that? Doflamingo would never allow it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he'd just beat the stuffing out of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyūjō's fists clenched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't wait to teach that smug bastard a lesson—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That there were powers in this world far beyond anything he could comprehend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Join my Patreon here:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>🔗 patreon.com\u002FFaaanzKun\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>✅ Enjoy 70+ chapters ahead of WebNovel\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>✅ Get 2 new chapters every day exclusively on Patreon\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>✅ Be the first to enjoy the new 3rd arc after One Piece before anyone else\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let's keep this adventure alive, together chapter by chapter! 💖\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —\u003C\u002Fp>",1283,"2026-06-06T13:14:24.000Z",1,"novelbin.me","f86adfbcbf5d5bf0557ffeb5caf0e398121c836f92a7216a1ff35bda0e46e23b","from-thunder-breathing-to-the-multiverse-chapter-107","from-thunder-breathing-to-the-multiverse-chapter-105",389,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffrom-thunder-breathing-to-the-multiverse-cover.jpg"]
