Chapter 183: 183: Fall of the Celestial Order.
Mariejois.
The Holy Land of the world, home to the World Nobles—the so-called Celestial Dragons.
It is also the seat of the World Government's power, where the Five Elders reside, untouched for over 800 years.
The last time chaos ever reached this sanctified land was when Fisher Tiger briefly caused a stir. Since then, the Celestial Dragons have lived in a dreamlike delusion, oblivious to the crumbling world around them.
They believed their rule eternal.
But change has a way of coming when least expected.
Arakawa Zenkichi had arrived—dragging the defeated Five Elders behind him like broken dogs.
Their eyes were full of despair. Whether Zenkichi won or lost against Im mattered little; they knew they wouldn't be forgiven.
"Who are you?!" a pompous Celestial Dragon shouted from afar, pointing at Zenkichi with disdain. "How dare a lowly slave step foot in the Holy Land!"
The man scowled. Zenkichi wore no World Noble attire, nor the distinct uniforms of CP agents. Naturally, he was mistaken for a mere servant.
"Someone drag this rat out of here at once!"
In the Holy Land, slaves had restricted movement. Seeing one walk freely in an area forbidden to them enraged the nobles.
"Shut up."
Zenkichi didn't raise his voice. He simply pointed his finger—and a thin golden laser burst forth.
In an instant, the Celestial Dragon and the guards beside him vanished in an explosion of golden light particles.
Boom!
"Clean out Mariejois," he ordered coldly.
Hundreds of wooden clones materialized behind him. Without hesitation, they began storming through the city, capturing Celestial Dragons.
These so-called gods would be executed publicly—to win over the people.
As for the agents, guards, and slaves? They could be repurposed—like pirates, made into followers. Those who resisted could be brought under control by force.
With five clones still holding the Five Elders, Zenkichi moved deeper into Mariejois.
He entered the central throne room.
At the top, seated on the Empty Throne, was a woman with piercing, ringed eyes. Her cold gaze fell on Zenkichi.
This was Im—the true ruler of the world.
"Interesting," Zenkichi remarked, stepping into the chamber. "So, the ruler of the Celestial Dragons turns out to be a rather elegant woman."
He smirked.
Im's expression didn't change. Her voice came cold and smooth. "Mortal. Do you understand the price of defying a god?"
Zenkichi chuckled. "Did your brain get frozen in the last century?"
"You stand there, call yourself a god, and pull this 'divine judgment' act in front of me?"
He scoffed, raising an eyebrow.
"If you're a god, then what I need isn't reverence. What I need is a goddess who serves tea and fetches water."
He gazed at Im with clear mockery.
"Arrogant insect!"
Im's calm shattered. She raised her hand—an invisible force crashed down on Zenkichi.
His body tensed for a moment, but then his chakra flared.
He gritted his teeth slightly, and the invisible pressure vanished.
"…How?" Im's voice trembled. Her eyes widened in disbelief. "My power… why didn't it work?!"
Zenkichi cracked his knuckles and smirked. "That was your Devil Fruit ability, wasn't it?"
"I could feel my blood boiling for a moment. It was like I was about to burst... but I'm just too strong for that."
He took a step forward.
"Even if you're powerful, you're still just an ant to a disaster."
Im raised her hand again. "I'll show you what true power looks like."
She turned her gaze to the moon. Her body pulsed with strange magnetic energy.
"She's controlling the magnetic field?" Zenkichi muttered. "This ability... it's the Magnetic-Magnetic Fruit."
Outside, the moon shifted irregularly. The tides surged unnaturally, threatening to flood the world.
"Hahaha! You're finished now!" one of the Five Elders yelled from the floor.
"Even if we die, you'll go down with us!"
"You lot talk too much."
Zenkichi's eyes turned. The purple-red glow of the Rinnegan surged in his pupils. He locked eyes with Im.
In that instant, her soul was dragged into an illusion.
He reappeared in front of her, placing a hand on her head.
"Human Path: Memory Reading."
He dug deep into her soul and memories.
"So it's true... the Magnetic-Magnetic Fruit, developed to this extent. You've mastered the ability to manipulate the iron in human blood. Your control rivals Magneto himself."
"Using the planetary magnetic field to shift the moon and stir global tides... Even becoming a human-form ancient weapon—'King of Heaven'."
"You were once a great figure... but the centuries have eroded your spirit. Now, you're nothing more than a puppet—an umbrella for the Celestial Dragons."
He sighed.
Zenkichi stepped back and glanced at Im, now dazed and powerless before him.
"I'll spare your life. You'll serve tea and water from now on. Since you enjoy calling yourself a goddess, I'll let you be one—my personal maid goddess."
The irony made his smile widen.
After all, Im had once been the most revered woman in the world.
"No! This is impossible!"
The Five Elders stared in horror.
Their goddess, their secret weapon—the so-called King of Heaven—defeated with such ease?
"You can't be serious...!"
"You don't have to believe it," Zenkichi said casually, turning away. "Truth doesn't require your approval."

After purging Mariejois, Zenkichi returned to Marineford.
He stood atop the ruined plaza and made his announcement:
"The World Government has fallen!"
No one was surprised—not the pirates, not the navy. Everyone had already witnessed his power.
What was shocking was that the world had held on for this long.
"I hereby establish a new world government!"
"Both marines and pirates may join. Together, we'll rebuild the order."
Naturally, many from the navy objected.
But they were swiftly silenced—Zenkichi's Rinnegan crushed their resistance.
"Next, execute the Celestial Dragons publicly."
"Reveal the sins of the old World Government."
"Summon the kings of all nations to Mariejois. The world is about to change—forever."
Zenkichi spoke with unwavering confidence.
His vision would reshape everything.
