One Piece: With Ryujin Jakka

Arabasta's capital had become a battlefield.

Rebel forces surged from the streets, armed with swords and guns, charging towards the palace.

The sheer number of people raised a cloud of dust, obscuring the city in a swirling sandstorm.

Cobra clenched his fists, standing on a high vantage point, surveying the scene. His heart felt as though it were breaking.

"Your Majesty, the army is assembled! Awaiting your orders!" Pell reported, standing before Cobra.

Cobra remained silent.

Pell repeated, his voice slightly louder, "Your Majesty, the army is assembled! Awaiting your orders!"

Cobra's hands slowly unclenched.

"Pell, by order of the King, I appoint you commander of this war! The entire army is under your command!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Pell responded immediately. He then ordered via amplified Den Den Mushi, "Gunners, prepare to fire!"

The cannons below the city walls began loading and firing. The cannonballs arced through the air, exploding on impact.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The explosions echoed relentlessly. Cobra closed his eyes, tears streaming down his face.

He never imagined he would one day order his cannons to fire upon his own people, even if they were rebels.

Amidst the deafening barrage, Koza, leading the rebel charge, pushed forward relentlessly.

Wearing goggles to shield his eyes from the dust, his face was grim.

He thought, Cobra is no longer the king I once knew! He had to fight for revolution, to reclaim the rain.

He raised his arm, shouting, "Charge!!! Dethrone Cobra! Take Alubarna!"

With Koza's impassioned leadership, the rebels' morale soared.

The distance between the royal army and the rebels rapidly shrank.

Contact was imminent.

Suddenly, the two armies clashed. The sounds of gunfire, cannon fire, and clashing steel filled the air.

"It's the Arabasta Royal Guard's unit!"

"They're incredibly strong!"

"Our advance is stalled!"

"Leader, what do we do?!"

The appearance of this elite unit instantly shifted the balance of the war. The Tsumegeri Guard's consisted of four men:

A powerfully built man wielding a massive cleaver.

A relatively slender man wielding a double-bladed axe.

A thin man wielding a long sword.

A stout man wielding a short-handled battle-axe.

Their exceptional combat skills were immediately apparent. Standing at the palace gates, they proved virtually invincible. The rebels couldn't break through their defenses.

Koza felt a surge of despair. He hadn't expected Arabasta's elite guard to be so formidable.

Even with their superior numbers, victory seemed unlikely.

As Koza desperately searched for a solution, a voice echoed from the distance.

"All for Arabasta!"

Koza turned to see a tall, powerfully built man, dressed like a Shaolin monk, with snake tattoos on his chest and the kanji "壱" (ichi) tattooed on his shaved head.

Koza didn't recognize the man, but with so many rebels, this wasn't unusual. He saw the man charging alone towards the elite unit and shouted, "Stand down! Ordinary soldiers are no match for them!"

But the man, seemingly ignoring him, charged forward. The Tsumegeri Guard smirked, confident in their superiority. Their smiles quickly faded.

The man's feet transformed into razor-sharp blades, propelling him forward with incredible speed. His hands and fingers also sharpened, and he lunged at the four guards.

Multiple sword flashes erupted. The man muttered, "Dust-Cutting Swift Blade!"

The Tsumegeri Guard felt a searing pain, their chests pierced by deep wounds. Blood spurted, staining the ground crimson. Darkness claimed their vision.

Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Four bodies collapsed.

Koza stared in stunned silence.

"Who… who are you?"

"Someone who wants to liberate Arabasta. Leader, we believe under your guidance, Arabasta will flourish!"

"But…"

"You can do this!" the man said earnestly. "If you can't, then no one can."

Koza felt the weight of responsibility settle upon his shoulders. He nodded resolutely. "If I can, I will lead Arabasta to a brighter future!"

He raised his arm high, addressing the rebels, "Seize the palace swiftly! We reclaim our rain!"

"Charge!! Show Cobra what we're capable of!"

"Make him regret ignoring our suffering and using the Dance Powder!"

"Dethrone him!"
