The sea shimmered beneath the blazing sun as the Heaven's Embrace approached the infamous Sabaody Archipelago — a place where the world's dark secrets bubbled to the surface like the toxic waters beneath the mangrove trees. The air was thick with tension, ripe for the chaos we intended to unleash.
Arrival at Sabaody
The moment we docked, the usual bustle of the archipelago's slave markets and corrupt merchants swirled around us. Slaves cowered, hidden behind tattered clothes and hollow eyes, their spirits crushed under the weight of cruelty.
I cracked my knuckles with a sly grin. "Time to break some chains."
Nami, her usual nervousness replaced by a fierce resolve, whispered, "We can't let this continue."
Bell-mère stepped forward, her marine instincts sharpening as she scanned the scene. "Justice will be served today."
Raid on the Slave Auction
We burst into the auction house like a storm unleashed. The gathered crowds — pirates, traders, and the sick elites — froze in shock.
"FREE THEM ALL!" I shouted, my voice booming with authority.
The marines and auction guards scrambled to respond, but their efforts were futile against our overwhelming power.
Nami dashed forward, expertly cutting through ropes and chains, freeing slaves with tears in her eyes.
"Go, you're safe now!" she urged, guiding the frightened souls to the ship.
Confrontation with the Celestial Dragons
As we liberated the enslaved, two Celestial Dragons stepped forward, their arrogance palpable.
"You dare disrupt the order of the World Nobles?" one hissed, his voice dripping with contempt.
I cracked a smile. "Order? You mean your sick reign? Time to crash that."
With a flick of my wrist, I unleashed a devastating blast that sent the two nobles flying into the air, their robes tattered.
Before they could recover, I activated Sakai (Realm), a shadowy space folding around us. In an instant, we disappeared from the eyes of every spectator except for a few shocked marines.
Saint Shalria: A New Pawn
During the chaos, I captured one of the Celestial Dragons — Saint Shalria, notorious for her cruelty.
"Your new role is simple," I said coldly, binding her with haki-enhanced chains. "You'll serve me. Fail, and the world will see your true nature."
Her eyes filled with fear — the first genuine emotion she'd shown in years.
Destruction of Marijose
Fuelled by righteous fury, I flew above Marijose, the sky darkening under my presence.
With a single, precise strike, half the city was leveled, a message carved in stone and ash for the World Government.
"Tell Imu — Vegito is coming."
Return to the Crew
Back on deck, the atmosphere was electric.
Nami hugged Bell-mère, tears streaming. "Thank you… for everything."
Bell-mère smiled gently. "This is only the beginning."
Perona floated nearby, smirking. "You sure know how to make a scene, boss."
I laughed, a deep, booming sound that echoed across the sea.

Crew Reactions
Nami clapped her hands, eyes sparkling. "Our bounties keep climbing, but so does our reputation."
Bell-mère nodded firmly. "This is what justice looks like."
Perona winked, teasing, "Can't wait to see what the government tries next."
I leaned back, savoring the moment. "Let them come. We're just getting started."
Closing
With chains shattered and justice served, the Heaven's Embrace soared from Sabaody, the winds carrying the promise of freedom and revolution.
The world was watching — and they would soon learn that Vegito's crew was unstoppable.
