Chapter 131: The Supernova Paradox: The 10 Who Shake The World
The news spread like wildfire across the Grand Line, crackling through the air like a lightning storm that wouldn't stop. The Grand Line, known for its chaos and unpredictability, had never seen anything like this before. The Black Flame Pirates, a crew once whispered about in dark corners of the underworld, had just done the impossible. They had defeated Crocodile, the infamous former Warlord of the Sea, and completely obliterated the Buster Call that had been sent to wipe them off the map. The world was still in shock as the very Marines who had unleashed the fury of the Buster Call were now left gasping for air in disbelief. The Black Flame Pirates had turned the tide, the flames of their revenge burning brighter than ever before. Crocodile's demise sent shockwaves through the seas, the very notion that anyone could defeat a Warlord of the Sea—let alone survive a Buster Call—was an unthinkable outcome. But the Black Flame Pirates had done it. And now, they were more than just legends—they were a terrifying reality.
But as if to prove that their power knew no bounds, just days after obliterating the Buster Call and Crocodile, the Black Flame Pirates set sail for Dead Ink Island, the forsaken land of nightmares. The very name of the island sent chills down the spine of even the most hardened pirates. It was a place where death lingered in every corner, and few ever came back alive. Yet, it was here that the Black Flame Pirates would strike again, leaving the world even more stunned than before. Lieutenant Violet and Lieutenant Corbin, two of the Black Seraph Pirates' deadliest lieutenants, were cut down on the very shores of that forsaken island. The news of their deaths spread like wildfire, each word sending tremors through the seas. How could it be? The Black Flame Pirates had taken down two of the Black Seraph Pirates' most formidable lieutenants—two pirates who had once been the symbol of power and control over their territory.
The very air in the Grand Line seemed to freeze as the news sank in. To defeat Crocodile was one thing. But to walk into the heart of Black Seraph Pirate territory and slay Violet and Cobra with such cold, calculated ease? It was a move that stunned even the most seasoned veterans of the Grand Line. Pirates who had once laughed at the Black Flame Pirates now muttered in fear. The Grand Line, once an ocean where only the boldest dared to dream, had now become the playground for the most dangerous crew to ever set sail. Dead Ink Island would forever be marked as the place where two "powerful pirates" fell, and the name "Black Flame Pirates" would forever echo in the nightmares of all who heard it.
And so, as the tides of the Grand Line surged with the whispers of this latest triumph, every pirate and Marine alike knew that the Black Flame Pirates were no longer a mere threat—they were a storm, a tidal wave that had only just begun to rage. What would they do next? No one knew. But one thing was for certain: their names would be etched into the very fabric of history. And no one—no one—would forget the terror they had unleashed.
The news continued to reverberate through the Grand Line, and it was as if the very waves themselves were speaking of the Black Flame Pirates' unprecedented feats.
.....
Somewhere on the edge of the Grand Line, in a small, fog-covered port town that few dared to visit, the air was thick with unease. The sea roared against the jagged rocks, and the creaking of old wooden planks was the only sound that broke the silence. The townspeople gathered at the local tavern, whispering among themselves, eyes darting to the window as if expecting something to come crashing through. It had taken them hours to truly process what had happened—what the world now knew—but it was undeniable: the Black Flame Pirates had struck a blow no one could ignore.
An old fisherman, hunched over with years of salt and wind etched into his face, gripped his mug tightly, his knuckles turning white. "This isn't like any other pirate crew," he muttered to no one in particular. "They've destroyed the Navy's Buster Call... who does that?" His voice trembled. "The Navy's supposed to be invincible, but those pirates— they took them down without blinking. What happens now? Who's going to stop them from coming here next?"
A young woman, her face pale, wiped a tear from her cheek. "I thought the Navy would always protect us... but now they've been defeated. What if we're next? What if we're just... nothing to them?" A small boy, trying to sound brave, piped up, "The Navy will come back! They always do. They'll stop them for sure." But his voice faltered. The others fell silent, and a heavy quiet settled over the room. It was as if, for the first time, the realization hit them—nothing in the Grand Line was safe. Not anymore.
....
On a sun-baked island, where pirates gathered to trade rumors and tales of glory, one grizzled old sea dog shook his head in disbelief, muttering to no one in particular. "Did you hear? Chaos, that demon, killed five Vice Admirals all by himself!" The man's voice quivered, his hands trembling as he clenched his mug tighter. "A monster... I tell ya, no one's ever done anything like that. "Chaos is a real threat, I'm telling you."
Nearby, a younger pirate leaned in closer, his eyes wide with shock. "But wait," he whispered, "you're telling me they did that... then immediately went to Dead Ink Island and wiped out Violet and Cobra—two lieutenants of the Black Seraph Pirates? That's insane! The Black Seraphs, those monsters? And they just walked in and killed them like it was nothing? If they weren't a true supernova crew before, they sure as hell are now!"
The older pirate nodded solemnly, his voice dropping lower. "With Chaos and that psychopath by his side... yeah, they've made their mark. And with those two, they're solidified as one of the Supernova crews now. Ten of 'em out there on the Grand Line."
At that, a burly pirate at the next table overheard and laughed. "Ten Supernovas, huh? Chaos and his lot don't scare me. But I'll be damned if they don't make things interesting around here. They'll have the whole world gunning for 'em soon enough."
Another pirate, a young woman with fiery red hair, raised an eyebrow. "Not just the world... you're gonna see pirates like the Supernovas come out of the woodwork, hunting 'em down. And when they clash, it's gonna be a hell of a spectacle."
The older pirate nodded again, taking a slow sip of his drink. "Yeah, they're gonna be in the spotlight now. You'll see it. With those two in the mix, there ain't no stopping 'em."
.....
Not far off, at another tavern on a distant island, a weathered fisherman leaned over the bar, a bottle of rum in his hand, and muttered to the bartender. "Can you believe it? The Black Flame Pirates, after all this... they've done it now. No one, not even the Black Seraphs, are gonna let this slide. Mark my words, those lieutenants weren't just any crewmates. That's a family they've crossed, a dangerous one. And you know what that means? The whole crew's gonna come for them. The Bounty Hunters will be crawling out of the woodwork, too. Pirates and Marines alike... they'll be lining up to take a piece of 'em. Those bounty numbers? They're gonna skyrocket. You're gonna see pirates like the Supernovas coming after 'em—they're not gonna let this stand."
....
As the news of the Black Flame Pirates' recent victories spread across the Grand Line, a wave of fear and disbelief washed over the seas. The defeat of Crocodile, the destruction of the Buster Call, and the brutal killing of Cobra and Violet, two of the Black Seraph Pirates' most trusted lieutenants, sent shockwaves through the entire world. Pirates, Marines, and civilians alike found themselves stunned, some paralyzed with fear, others desperate to make sense of the chaos unfolding before them.
As reports continued to circulate through different medium, many found themselves in a state of shock. Some couldn't believe it. Others feared for their lives, wondering if they'd be next in the Black Flame Pirates' path. It was clear to all that something had changed. This wasn't just another pirate crew—it was a force that could level fleets, topple governments, and leave destruction in their wake.
Yet, amidst the panic, there was something more chilling. Many eyes, cold and sinister, were now focused on the Black Flame Pirates. They weren't just being watched by the usual suspects—bounty hunters, rival crews, and the Marines. No, these eyes were colder, darker, and filled with intent. Some sought to eliminate the Black Flame Pirates, others to profit from their destruction, but one thing was certain: the crew had become a symbol of danger, and there was no escaping it.
But let's start with one of the more interesting pieces of misinformation that had been floating around. It was once stated that Chaos, the notorious Supernova, held the second-highest bounty in the Grand Line—300 million berries. That was nowhere near the truth. Not in this hellish, unpredictable stretch of the Grand Line.
....
Narrator's Voice:
Originally, there were just eight Supernovas—powerful pirates who had risen from the depths of the Grand Line, carving out their names through bloody conquests and daring feats. These legends of the sea weren't just infamous—they were symbols of rebellion, of a new age of pirates ready to challenge the old world's order. Each one was feared, each one had a bounty that sent shivers down the spines of even the bravest Marines and bounty hunters.
But the tides of power in the Grand Line were about to change.
With the Black Flame Pirates, led by Chaos, the seas were shaken. No longer was Chaos just a name whispered in fear—he was a force. His ruthlessness had earned him the title of the most dangerous pirate to ever walk the seas. Stories of his blood-soaked victories were legendary, his rage as fiery as the flames he left behind. Entire fleets were dismantled, islands were left in ruin. Chaos had become an unstoppable force, a hurricane of destruction.
And then, alongside him, there was the Psychopath, a deranged soul, drenched in madness. A lover of blood and carnage, the Psychopath reveled in the chaos of battle. He wasn't just a crew member—he was a force unto himself. His madness was unpredictable, and his thirst for violence knew no bounds. Blood was his obsession, and his very presence sent a chill down the spine of even the bravest. Chaos may have been the ruthless leader, but the Psychopath's thirst for chaos added a terrifying wildcard to their crew.
Narrator's Voice:
And so, with the addition of Chaos and the Psychopath, of the Black Flame Pirates—the sea now had ten Supernovas. But what did that truly mean for the Grand Line? The stakes were higher than ever before.
With ten Supernovas out at sea, the very fabric of the pirate world was shaking. Old rivalries would spark into wars, old alliances would crumble into betrayal. These Supernovas weren't just fighting for treasure or fame anymore—they were fighting for control. For dominance. The power balance had shifted.
These ten Supernovas were also not merely outlaws; they were symbols of the upheaval, the storm that was coming for the old world order. And thus, a name was born. The Fractured Scourge—a force that would become a name feared across the seas.
Who would be the one to survive the relentless storm of ambition and violence? Who would go on to carve their name in the New World, and who would fall, their ambitions crushed by the weight of the seas?
The game was now wide open.
The tides were turning, and as ten Supernovas sailed the Grand Line, their journeys would ignite a series of wars, betrayals, and brutal alliances that would leave the seas more dangerous than ever. Pirates and bounty hunters alike would scramble to either stand with them or take them down, as each of these Supernovas was a walking storm of power.
With every clash of blades, every blood-soaked battle, the stakes grew higher. Who would live to see the New World, and who would be devoured by the chaos they had unleashed?
...
The Vraxian Reach- North East of the Grandline.
Out in the vast, endless expanse of the Grand Line, where few dared to venture and even fewer returned, something moved across the ocean. Not a ship. Not a sea monster. But a towering entity, running.
The creature stood like an ancient guardian of the forest, its skeletal frame adorned with ghostly white armor, entwined with glowing emerald energy that pulsed like the lifeblood of the earth itself. Ethereal vines coiled around its antlers, as if nature itself sought to reclaim the beast, yet it remained untouched—an enigma of both decay and vitality. Its hollow eyes, illuminated by an eerie green light, gazed into the unseen, exuding a presence both majestic and ominous. Every step it took seemed to ripple through the air, leaving behind a silent whisper of an existence beyond mortal comprehension.
It ran across the water with unnatural grace, its hooves never truly sinking, but instead gliding with an eerie smoothness, as if the sea itself dared not drag it down. It did not chase. It did not flee. It simply ran, side by side with the colossal tortoise that carved its path through the waves, as if the two had always been destined to move together.
Perched atop the tortoise, sitting with an air of lazy dominance, was a 9-foot figure whose mere presence commanded the space around him. Cloaked in a fur-lined mantle draped over a single-strap harness, he leaned back casually, his sharp violet eyes gleaming from beneath his hood, reflecting an intelligence and cold calculation that betrayed his easy posture. His spiked indigo hair swept back like deep-sea fins, and his deep blue, nearly black skin shimmered under the sun, blending with the shadows like the ocean depths he called home. His sharpened fangs glinted slightly as he exhaled, and his webbed hands, tipped with razor-sharp claws, rested on the tortoise's shell—every movement deliberate and slow, like a predator savoring the moment before striking. Strapped to his back was a blackened trident, a silent promise of the devastation he could unleash at a moment's notice.
Above him, the sky darkened momentarily as an enormous hawk, wings spanning wide enough to cast a long shadow, dove through the air like a silent executioner. A seagull, barely registering the threat, flapped frantically as the hawk snatched a fluttering newspaper from its beak with deadly precision. With a powerful flap, the hawk descended, talons clicking against the tortoise's shell as it gracefully placed the paper in the man's waiting hand. He unfolded it slowly, his face impassive as his eyes scanned the headline, detailing the latest exploits of the Black Flame Pirates.
He clicked his tongue softly, folding the paper with a dismissive motion.
"Not bad," he murmured, his voice low and tinged with quiet disdain. "However, dont ever think you're on the same level as me." "If you ever cross paths with me... well, it will be your downfall Chaos."
The ocean beneath him churned, as if stirred by something lurking deep below. From the abyss, dark, hulking shadows slipped in and out of sight, their outlines barely visible beneath the waves—massive forms, unseen horrors that followed in his wake. And even deeper, a swarm of shadows stirred, like a silent army waiting beneath the depths.
The tortoise continued its steady path, the spectral beast still running beside it, untouched by the waves, as if it belonged neither to land nor sea, but to something far beyond mortal comprehension.
