One Piece: Alucard the Immortal

Even in death, Roger wore a wide smile. In this life, he had no regrets, except... his wife and child.

"Oh!!!"

"Waaah!!!"

"I'm going to sea! Right now!"

"To search for the Pirate King's legendary treasure!!!"

Suddenly, the entire plaza, with over a hundred thousand people, erupted in a frenzy. And in front of Den Den Mushi broadcasts worldwide, how many cheering people were there? Tens of thousands? Hundreds of thousands? Or perhaps... millions?

At once, the winds shifted, and torrential rain poured down. Was it responding to Roger's words?

In the New World, in the garden of Cheese Town, Big Mom Pirates territory, Alucard's shoulders twitched slightly. While both Kaido and Charlotte Linlin remained silent, Alucard began to laugh loudly. "Ahaha... hahaha... hahahahahahahaha!!!"

Alucard's booming laughter filled the Cheese Town garden, while in the plaza, Shanks clutched his straw hat, kneeling on the ground, tears streaming endlessly from his eyes. Not far away, Buggy buried his face in his hands, weeping uncontrollably.

And from various directions around the execution platform:

A young man with spiky blonde hair and a cloak made of countless pink feathers, wearing sunglasses, revealed a sinister smile.

On the other side, a man with slicked-back black hair, his cigar extinguished by the heavy rain.

Standing on a high platform, a swordsman with eyes as sharp as a hawk's.

And very close to the execution platform, a burly, towering man with a grotesque grin, his eyes filled with longing and fanaticism.

In a tavern on the Sabaody Archipelago, at the end of the first half of the Grand Line and the entrance to the New World, the Pirate King's first mate wept with tears in his eyes, yet a smile on his lips.

Below the execution platform, at Marine Headquarters, outside Cheese Island, and even in Mariejois, top-ranking Marines and government officials sighed ceaselessly, knowing that the world was about to undergo a massive change.

And...

In the Cheese Town garden in the New World, Alucard's laughter still hadn't ceased, alongside the two silent "Three Monsters."

After a long while, Alucard's laughter gradually died down. He spoke in a hoarse voice, "See? How much trouble will these ignorant new pirates bring to the Marines? What will the world become?"

Charlotte Linlin was also startled by Roger's dying words. After a long pause, she said, "Utterly unexpected... Roger, that man, completely changed the world's landscape in the end."

"Soon, hordes of pirates will enter this New World to challenge me, won't they? They're all just playing pirate make-believe," Kaido said, then stood up and walked away. Immediately, a Big Mom Pirates crewmate asked him, "Kaido-sama, where are you going?"

"I'm going to the first half of the Grand Line to properly teach those little brats who are playing pirate make-believe a lesson!" Kaido walked out without looking back, and other Kaido Pirates crewmates quickly scrambled to follow.

"Hehehe... The new era has just begun, and that mad dog is already impatient, is he?" Alucard chuckled, looking down.

Charlotte Linlin glanced at the completely chaotic Loguetown plaza in the video feed and said, "Did you foresee this?"

"That's completely irrelevant." Alucard also stood up and headed towards the exit. "Soon, countless ignorant pirates will flood into the New World. We need to teach them a good lesson and show them the harsh reality here."

After Kaido and Alucard had both left, Perospero approached Charlotte Linlin, looking up as he asked, "Mama, what should we do now?"

Charlotte Linlin laughed heartily. "Mamamamama! Don't rush. The Marines are the ones with the headache now. This isn't something that can be rushed. Let's use the great upheaval Roger created to expand our territory! Mamama!"

"What about Alucard and Kaido?" Perospero asked again.

"Now is not the time to fight them. But in the future, only I will reach the summit."

"Yes."

...

The tide of the new era had arrived.

Countless pirates began pouring into the Grand Line.

Gold Roger's final words before his death stirred the hearts of many who harbored demons within, all surging towards the sea. Even ordinary people were affected.

In just a few short hours, how many new pirates had emerged worldwide? Tens of thousands? Hundreds of thousands? Or even millions? No one knew.

The Whitebeard Pirates, currently at the pinnacle of piracy, had yet to make a move. Whitebeard didn't seize the opportunity of Roger's death to cause a stir, but it was a fact that, for a short time, no one could stop him.

Meanwhile, the "Three Monsters"—Alucard, Kaido, and Charlotte Linlin—gradually began to take action.

Kaido headed to the first half of the Grand Line, deciding on a whim to first teach those rookies who dared to challenge his status a lesson.

As a lone wolf, Alucard was undoubtedly a target with a bounty on his head. As long as he stayed put, he was sure to face endless challenges. It was precisely for this reason that an idea sparked in the minds of many pirates worldwide.

"Let's target those great pirates. If we can take their heads, we can become famous overnight."

"Who's the most suitable?"

"Whitebeard, as the absolute strongest after Roger's death, is impossible, of course. Kaido and Charlotte Linlin have many subordinates, so getting close to them isn't easy. The most suitable are definitely the lone wolves, Patrick Redfield and Alucard."

"Although Alucard has a record of fighting Whitebeard to a draw, I think that was just luck. Patrick Redfield even has a record of defeating Fleet Admiral Kong. I think Alucard is more suitable."

"Exactly! To achieve fame in one fell swoop, Alucard is the most suitable stepping stone!"

Regardless, the influence of the Three Monsters rapidly expanded, gradually pushing them towards the era's peak.
