Chapter 2 - The First Strike

**"Missiles rained down from the sky like a relentless deluge as three formidable warriors emerged from the shadows: Grand Admiral Kizaru, Flame Emperor Sabo, and Roronoa Zoro, esteemed members of the Celestial Knights, the most powerful empire in the universe. Their Grand Emperor, Theoudour, was preoccupied with planetary conquests, while his brother, Vice Emperor Kaline, the second-strongest warrior, had bestowed immense powers upon his favored individuals, elevating them to positions of authority as admirals, emperors, and high-ranking officials.

As the missiles descended, buildings crumbled like paper, and Kizaru stepped forward, unleashing a blast of light energy from his "Sacred Jewel" technique, obliterating the incoming projectiles. However, more missiles followed, wreaking havoc on the city of Alendor. Armored alien warriors emerged from their ship, charging forward with ruthless abandon, slaughtering innocent civilians.

In response, Grand Admiral Kizaru's personal army arrived, while Sabo and Zoro's forces remained in outer space, awaiting further orders. Seven Star Destroyers materialized, and Kizaru bellowed: "You will retreat immediately, or face severe consequences. This planet is under the protection of the Celestial Knights."

The alien commander, representing the Xanadarian Empire, stepped forward, his voice unwavering: "Grand Admiral, according to the Dominion Accounts Portal, we found no indication that this planet, Earth, is under your dominion. Therefore, we will not back down today, even if it means war."

Kizaru's expression turned stern: "War? You dare to threaten us? Have you forgotten the Treaty of Friendship and Unwavering Restraint Agreement you signed with us? Article 6 explicitly states that no war shall be waged over territorial disputes or other issues between our empires unless they threaten the integrity and sustainability of either empire. What do you have to say now, Commander?"

The alien commander's response was calculated: "If you choose to act against us despite our legitimate concerns, given the lack of information on your portal, you would be the first to breach the agreement. Article 25 clearly stipulates that both empires shall share information on conquests to prevent conflicts arising from misunderstandings. Your failure to do so gives us the right to violate the treaty in order to protect ourselves from potential aggression by the Celestial Knights. We will not back down. Step aside and let us complete our mission."
