While Luffy headed towards the Grand Line, on this same day, an incredible incident was unfolding in a corner of Mary Geoise. Amidst their duties, the CP agents and the Holy Land guards were completely oblivious to what was about to transpire. A man tasked with monitoring the Vivre Cards of all living Tenryuubito noticed something unusual as he went about his work like any other day.

"Hmm? What's that smell? It seems like something's burning..." the man murmured as he traced the strange odor. Approaching a large wall that served as a monitor for all Tenryuubito families, used to locate them when necessary or when one was in danger, the agent noticed a paper on the Delacourt family board catching fire and disappearing each moment.

"This... can't be!" exclaimed the agent, recognizing the situation. He immediately reached for his Den Den Mushi to report the emergency to his superiors.

"Agent 003 here! Primary level urgency! The Vivre Card with the name Octavian Delacourt is burning, the user is dying, I repeat, a Tenryuubito is dying!" he shouted, and within two seconds, the room was flooded with other agents entering swiftly, so agile that even the small man had no time to react.

"That..." one of the shadows that appeared spoke ominously, looking at the paper being destroyed and disappearing before them.

"Where was Octavian Delacourt?" another voice said, with a serious tone.

"Here, in this report. He went out for a stroll and to acquire new possessions for his collection... The last time he was seen and contacted headquarters, he was entering the Reverse Mountain." Someone grabbed a registration notebook and began analyzing.

"He entered one of the Four Blues then... Immediately contact the Den Den Mushis on his ship. We need to know which one he was in and what happened. We must determine if it was a natural event or if he was a victim of assassination. Then we must act," said one of the shadows with a large sword on their back.

"Assassination? Would anyone have the courage to do that?" someone among the shadows asked.

"They shouldn't, but we must always consider that possibility. If it was the case, we must eliminate the threat that dared to touch the World Noble, but we must prevent this from being announced to the world. It wouldn't be good for any of us with news of someone killing a World Noble," asserted the shadowy voice with seriousness and continued speaking.

"I will personally report to the Gorōsei and await their orders regarding the situation; this must be brought to them immediately. The Marines will also be notified; if necessary, we will act according to their instructions..." spoke the voice in the shadow.

"Yes, sir!" the agents responded in unison. Thus, the group disappeared from the room, leaving Agent 003, who couldn't react to this movement, even though he knew Haki; he was powerless against those figures far beyond the forces they already considered elites.

As the sun rose on this day, the world witnessed the publication of a newspaper that would shake the foundations of maritime news once again. In bold letters, the name "Monkey D. Luffy" topped the front page again, sparking a wave of curiosity among eager readers.

"This pirate again?!"
"What's with these newspapers?! I want to see news about Yonkous!"
"This newcomer again?"
"Wait, look at the photo and the article..."
"This... This is big!"
"And to think that this pirate belongs to such a family?"
"This will shock the world..."
