Chapter 0 | Prolog
The final battle of the void! The Great Sage Equal to the Heaven!
-------------------------------------------------------------
The world is full of rules, the world is full of order, the order created by those in the name of Justice that they have always been proud of. All those who oppose justice are called evil, somehow they manage to convince everyone that they are the absolute form of justice, but certainly, the order they have created for this world, will change the entire future of this world forever.
Across the vast ocean, being forced to accept a new order that people have called justice would certainly destabilize the balance of the world. Where the weak, the common people began to worship and consider those who established this new order as gods they should worship, in fact, they did not know what they really wanted behind the shadow of the name of justice.
They can easily win the hearts of the inhabitants and people of all over the world with the frills of justice, especially those who cannot protect themselves, by presenting themselves that they are the only noble in their heart. They began to distribute their wealth, their food and even protection to the people in distress, which in fact, was very effective in winning the hearts of the people.
As their power and power grew in the name of justice, the higher authorities of justice, the only one who originated the name of justice, began to build and form an organization aimed at protecting those who could not protect themselves, in order to spread justice which that person considered to be one of the powers in it, the organization eventually became known as the World Government.
However, there are some figures who know very well the true will and intentions of the World Government higher-ups, let alone their supreme leaders. Of course, they will not remain silent when they see that this new organization aims to change the world completely, justice is a frills they have created to cover up their corruption, and they know for sure, if their plan succeeds, then the justice they bring will turn into a catastrophe, which will have an effect on all beings and all people.
Therefore, two famous figures of the era met to discuss this problem, which was considered a big problem that they had to follow up on immediately. One of the figures was seen wearing a golden armor, with a crown on top of his head that had two sacred Phoenix feathers protruding from his crown. The figure is also seen carrying a golden staff, with carvings of dragons and the phoenix on both sides of the ends and gold ring ties at both ends too. And with the golden writing located in the middle of the staff, it was written in a complicated language and could not be understood by ordinary people.
Meanwhile, the other figure is a giant-sized man who always looks smiling, his eyes are sharp, and the most striking thing is, the figure is seen wearing a straw hat on his head. The two figures are believed to be the pinnacle of the world, one of the most coveted targets by the world's governments, which is considered an obstacle to the grand plan they want to realize.
"In the end this will happen too, huh? They have no idea what lies behind the name of justice. Behind it all, they are very rotten. None of them know about it, except us." The giant figure wearing the straw hat then began to speak, his voice sounded thunderous and shrouded in an aura that was so very powerful, it was even able to create flashes of red lightning around his body.
"It's too true, it's really true. They are so stupid, when a stranger gives them a milk that is obviously about to expire, thinking that they are like a god who comes when they are miserable, without checking when and whether the milk has expired. It is the foolishness that they always pass on to their descendants." The figure in the golden armor then chimed in at the words of the giant figure in the straw hat with a cynical and irritated voice, it can be seen that he is very sick of the stupidity that the small people always pass on to their descendants, thinking that they cannot change at all from every mistake they make.
"Even though they're stupid, but we're also the ones who will stand up for them, right?" The giant figure in the straw hat could only sigh deeply while closing both of his eyes, the red lightning bolts around him slowly began to subside and disappear, along with the aura of his power that began to disappear.
Hearing the words of the figure in the straw hat, the figure in the golden armor could only sigh. He was seen starting to bow his head, staring at the staff he was carrying, the staff seemed to start emitting a golden light, and made a mysterious writing that only he could understand, which was in the middle of the golden staff that was lit.

"The Victorious Fighting Buddha, let's end this together." In the end, the giant figure in the straw hat reached out to the figure in golden armor, saying and inviting him to end all of this together, for the future of this world.
For a few moments, the figure in armor was just silent while staring at the golden staff he was carrying, before finally, he began to raise his head to stare at the giant figure in the straw hat. Fighting to the end, for the future of this world, it had been a long time since he had last raised his staff to challenge any enemy who intended to fight him, but this time, it was certain that he would raise his staff again.
Just as the sunlight began to hit his body, the figure in armor could finally be seen, which turned out to be a monkey with golden fur, both eyes seemed to emit a burning golden flame. He is a magical monkey who is known as the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, the Buddha Victorious in Strife and also the King of the Monkey, one of the beings of the void century who possesses immortality and unstoppable power.
"Alright. Until the end." While sighing deeply, in the end the Monkey King agreed to the offer from the figure in the straw hat by reaching out his hand to shake hands.
Witnessed by various creatures, people and also all the soldiers he had led, the promise to end this disaster along with the figure in the straw hat was officially tied. No matter what obstacles would come his way, the Monkey King was not afraid to stand up for his own people as well as the people of this world. Therefore, he must not be defeated before the mongrels of justice can be crushed evenly, until that second he will not stop.
Slowly, the Monkey King began to close his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, he was already standing in front of an innumerable army. Among the troops, there were five figures that he had known before, they were the Five Elders of the world government who directly served the supreme leaders of the world government. But even though he realized that he was outnumbered, he was alone and in front of him there might be thousands of people, all of whom had immense power, he was not at all afraid.
"A safe and peaceful world, as it used to be. The order in which the weak are oppressed, and the strong are worshipped, has existed since ancient times. But it is better than the lies that you keep behind the shadow of justice. Those who do not know will continue to suffer more, and you will benefit. I don't know what you guys want, rule the world? Create a new world where power is in your hands? I don't care about that. All I care about is, you bastards I won't let you act arbitrarily against my people or the people in this world!" The Monkey King exclaimed while raising his golden staff upwards, right up to the sky where he saw a silhouette covered by a floating shadow, his voice filled with anger and fiery enthusiasm, would not allow any of the mongrels of justice to make all his people and also the people of this world to obey.
Hearing the words from the Monkey King, the figure that had been floating in the sky, shrouded in darkness began to show it's reaction, which, only two parts of it's eyes could be seen. It could be seen that there was a flash of hatred, anger and cruelty that flashed through it's eyes, which instantly made all the forces of justice start pointing every single one of their weapons at the Monkey King. But still none of them intended to attack, even the five elders did not fight at all, they just stood silent while staring at the magical monkey, they already knew very well the power and what he could do.
"You, who are there! I will make sure that you are the last one I will kill, so that you can see every second when I kill and destroy every one of the mongrels you bring in the name of justice with your own eyes. Those who are before me, beside me, and behind me, come at me! All of you!" The Monkey King exclaimed again, his voice was now filled with a desire to kill and a burning sense of enthusiasm, as a flash of golden lightning began to strike in the sky.
When the Monkey King began to step closer to the forces of justice, intending to kill and destroy every single one of them, he had no idea what they had actually planned for him. Which, the supreme leader of the world government, who had been just silent and hovering in the sky, began to raise it's right hand, which instantly made black flames mixed with golden light instantly appear from it's right palm. And a second later, the black flame mixed with the golden light dimmed, revealing a circular golden headband with its two blunt ends meeting in the middle, similar to a frowning brow. The headband is also seen being enveloped by a golden light. With that, too, the future of the world has changed...

Ctyarr!! Blztt!!
Lightning struck very violently, the ocean turned very violent, the waves seemed to be raging and could drown everything on it. It was as if the world was feeling that something was wrong, about to happen.
Under the flag of the world government, a warship was sailing across the raging ocean, their warship was seen being shaken by the fierce waves, as if the sea itself was about to sink their ship and all of them.
"Strange, what the hell is this? It is as if the sea is about to drown us all. I've been sailing for so many years, I've never seen such a fierce sea.... Is it possible, because of that fruit?"
At the helm of the ship, there was a man wearing a black suit, who was the leader of this warship, feeling very surprised by the incident that he had just felt. For a long time, he had sailed the seas in the name of justice, but only this time, he felt such a violent, incessantly raging sea, that it seemed to sink the ship completely.
He then glanced to the side, right at a chest made of wood containing fruit that the world government somehow wanted so much. But then, he was surprised by one of his subordinates who came in and told him a news that he had not expected at all.
"Hey! Check it out here! The Red Hair Pirates are following us!"
Suddenly, the captain of the world government warship was instantly shocked after hearing the information, he quickly moved to the deck of the ship, saw that behind the fierce waves of the ocean, there was a ship under the flag of the Red Hair pirates who were raining down on their ship with cannon fire.
"What?! Why are they following us?! What do they want?! We don't carry any treasure at all except two... Do they lose their minds at wanting a fruit that only gives rubber power and a fruit that can only make a person turning into monkey?! What's the good thing about that?!"
Meanwhile on the Red Hair pirate ship, the captain of the Red Hair pirate was standing right at the end of the ship's deck, holding a straw hat that he wore over his head. The black robe he wore on his shoulders fluttered in the wind and also the rainwater that fell very heavily.
"Boss! Do we really want that fruit?!" One of his crew members, Lucky Roux asked while holding onto a piece of meat that was now drenched by the torrential rainwater, questioning whether the boss really wanted the devil fruit on the World Government warship in front of their eyes right now.
"They're all units of the Cipher Pol, it's really troublesome." Now it has been replaced by the vice-captain, Benn Beckman, who said that it would be a little troublesome to take over the devil fruit from the World Government warship, because all of them were from the Cipher Pol unit.
Benn then lowered the binoculars he had just used to keep an eye on the World Government warship that was not far in front of them all, and turned his gaze to the captain, who was now seen preparing to hold his sword in his left hand.
"Who cares?! Let's go!" The captain of the Red Hair Pirates, Akagami no Shanks excitedly exclaimed, no matter what happened, he would get the devil fruit in various ways, because he knew what the world government was keeping secret about that devil fruit.
