One Piece: Hashirama Template

"Zehahaha... As expected of Link, you move fast!"

Looking at today's news, Teach let out his unique laugh.

In his heart, he was filled with even more anticipation for the upcoming public execution.

He wished time would jump forward half a month.

If his grand gamble succeeded, he would possess the power to stand at the pinnacle of the world.

With the strength to intimidate all, he could fearlessly reveal the secret of the Dark-Dark Fruit, attract ambitious and powerful individuals, and quickly form a force that feared neither the Four Emperors' pirate crews, the Marine Headquarters, nor even the World Government—a hegemonic power to compete for the throne of the Pirate King!

"This Impaler planned everything just to enter Impel Down's Infinite Hell. Whose Devil Fruit does he intend to take?"

Laffitte spun the cane sword in his hand and analyzed, "In the last twenty-two years, the only legendary pirates captured and sent to Impel Down were Golden Lion and the Red Count. Of them, only Golden Lion was a Devil Fruit user, and he soon became the first pirate in history to successfully escape from Impel Down."

"Besides those two legendary pirates, the most famous is the 'Demon Heir' Douglas Bullet. To deal with him, the World Government launched a Buster Call, dispatching then-Admiral 'Sengoku the Buddha', the 'Hero of the Marines', and the current three Admirals to subjugate the great pirate. He seems to be the user of the Paramecia-type Clank-Clank Fruit."

"Could it be that the Devil Fruit he wants to take is the Paramecia-type Clank-Clank Fruit?"

Hearing this, Teach's smile froze slightly.

Evidently, Laffitte's words reminded him of those three Devil Fruits.

The Logia-type Sand-Sand Fruit, the Paramecia-type Door-Door Fruit, and the Logia-type Rumble-Rumble Fruit were all top-tier Devil Fruits, with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit being hailed as the strongest Logia.

Teach was also very tempted by that Devil Fruit.

Having thoroughly studied the Encyclopedia of Devil Fruits, Teach understood the abilities of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit very well.

Instantaneous movement that ignores all obstacles, ultra-wide-range electric waves, electrotherapy for healing and developing potential, and all-destroying electric heat—these four abilities could be combined to form even more powerful and unbeatable powers.

With his monstrous physique, Teach was very confident that if he obtained the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, his combat power would immediately be on par with the three Marine Admirals.

Instantaneous movement that ignores all obstacles, combined with his Dark Water that required physical contact to seal Devil Fruit abilities—what a terrifying combination that would be.

He would become the strongest Logia user in history.

Unfortunately, Teach's fantasy was shattered.

He could only watch as Link snatched the Rumble-Rumble Fruit from his grasp, not daring to show the slightest bit of dissatisfaction.

With those three Devil Fruits as examples, Teach knew without a doubt that the Devil Fruit Link was going to Impel Down to retrieve was definitely another top-tier one.

But even knowing this, there was nothing Teach could do.

So he could only console himself with a loud laugh, "Zehahaha... It doesn't matter! As long as my plan succeeds, he will no longer be a threat to me!"

"Let's go, my men! Set sail for Mary Geoise!"

At the same time, the Warlords of the Sea located in both the first and second halves of the Grand Line also began to make their way to the Holy Land, Mary Geoise.

The fastest among them was naturally the completely modified Bartholomew Kuma, now designated PX-0.

The butterfly effect had appeared again!

Hatchan had been killed by Link, Gecko Moria's ten years of accumulation were wiped out, Brook had gotten his shadow back, and the Straw Hat Pirates had spent a lot of time modifying the Going Merry.

Therefore, after leaving Water 7, they did not encounter Brook or the Thriller Bark in the Florian Triangle, and Zoro did not obtain the black blade, Shusui.

After leaving the Florian Triangle, without Nami, they also did not encounter the Golden Lion.

That old lion was probably preparing his plan for the destruction of the East Blue.

If Ace hadn't been arrested ahead of schedule, the Golden Lion might have already started his move.

As it was, he was likely observing the high possibility of the Summit War breaking out, waiting to see the choice and outcome of his former crewmate and rival, Newgate.

Without encountering the Golden Lion, Luffy's protagonist aura lost one of its most brilliant characteristics.

That characteristic... was being the "Theater King"!

In Link's original world, there was a very famous meme about One Piece.

That was... no matter how awesome you are, let's see you face him in a movie!

A Supernova could topple a legendary pirate. A man who was knocked out by a single blow from Kaido could defeat Douglas Bullet, whose strength was only less than Kaido's by the lack of Conqueror's Haki Infusion.

In games, he even defeated one of the legendary pirates, the Red Count, with the power of his words.

These exaggerated achievements led many readers to joke that even if the Pirate King were resurrected, he would lose to Luffy if he appeared in a movie.

Because of this, Luffy earned the title of "Theater King"!

Because Hatchan was killed, the Straw Hat Pirates did not meet Camie on their way to the Sabaody Archipelago, so naturally, the incident of a Celestial Dragon being punched never happened.

But after arriving at the Sabaody Archipelago, Rayleigh took the initiative to find them.

This was right around the time the news of Ace's capture spread throughout the world.

Seeing his sworn brother captured, Luffy was frantically jumping up and down, asking Rayleigh where the Marines would imprison Ace.

After learning he would be held in Impel Down, Luffy was immediately desperate to go there.

Rayleigh felt quite helpless in the face of Luffy's passion and could only explain Impel Down's location and level of danger.

But Luffy's next plea left Rayleigh stunned.

"Rayleigh, can you help me? You were the vice-captain of the Pirate King, right? Ace's father is Roger. Weren't you and Ace's father companions? Please help me, I'm begging you!"

Roger... had a descendant?!

Luffy's words shocked Rayleigh, shocked Shakky, and shocked the Straw Hat Pirates even more.

Thus, Rayleigh and Shakky began to take action.

In the original story, when Ace's identity was revealed, the Summit War was about to begin, and Rayleigh had no time to prepare.

Now, Rayleigh would not stand by and watch his captain's only bloodline be killed.

Link was completely unaware of all this.

However, he had sent a Wood Clone to see if the incident with the Celestial Dragon would happen, preparing to sever the connection between Luffy and Hancock.

Hancock and Amazon Lily were both part of Link's plan.

He would not let Luffy have the world's most beautiful woman.

Time passed quickly, and soon only three days remained until Ace's public execution.

On this day, Link, who had set out from the Alabasta Kingdom, finally arrived at the Holy Land, Mary Geoise.

Of course, he was alone.

Carina and the other girls had gone to carry out the missions he had assigned them.
