### **Chapter: Revelations and Resurrections**

For a terrifying moment, Blackbeard thought his end had come—escape impossible.

Then, the colossal figure of Oars suddenly **stopped mid-pursuit**. A voice echoed from the phone embedded in the giant's ear:

**"Oars. Return."**

Without hesitation, the titan turned back.

Teach—drenched in sweat—stood frozen on the riverbank. *"Alive...?"* Though he couldn't fathom why the monster had abandoned the chase, he wasn't about to question his luck. *"Never facing that thing again without the Gura Gura no Mi!"*

His Justice Phone rang.

**"Did you find anything?"**

**"ZEHAHAHA! Intel the World Government will *kill* for!"** Teach's grin turned manic.

*Oars is alive.

Mastered Armament Haki.

And Alabasta controls him.*

...…

Ezekiel didn't know Blackbeard had been Oars' target—nor would he have cared.

Hiding a 67-meter titan was impossible anyway. Alabasta's strength lay not in secrecy, but in **force**. If the World Government wanted to test Oars' might, Ezekiel would **welcome** the confrontation.

The recall order? Simple. One day of chasing was enough.

...…

**Alabasta Palace Depths**

The *clack* of wooden sandals on stone made Ezekiel glance up. Fujitora opened his eyes.

**Boom.**

The door swung open.

A man in pristine white-and-blue patterned kimono bowed deeply, his topknot swaying. **"My deepest gratitude... Your Imperial Majesty."**

**Ryuma.**

The legendary **Dragon-Slaying Swordsman**, resurrected in a **prime young body**—perks of cloning tech. Even in the virtual world, his skills had rivaled Fujitora's. Once, he'd been **the world's greatest bladesman**.

**"How do you feel?"** Ezekiel asked.

**"Well. Though I regret gifting my sword to that other swordsman."** Ryuma sighed. *"I should return to Wano for a new blade."*

Ezekiel's lips twitched. **"I have one in mind. A sword... intimately tied to Wano."**

Ryuma's eyes flicked to the **royal saber Okurien** beside Ezekiel—then widened when the king added:

**"Dare you claim it?"**

The swordsman's smirk was answer enough.

...…

**Desert Night**

Blackbeard exhaled white vapor into the freezing air, **fuming**. The World Government had **dismissed** his report!

*"They called me a LIAR! Said Vegapunk's research 'proves' giants can't use Haki! BASTARDS!"*

His Justice Phone call ended with an ultimatum: **"Bring us a 100-million-berry pirate's head if you want credibility."**

Teach's face twisted. **"You'll REGRET this! You've no idea what's coming!"**

.....

**5 Days Later**

Warden Magellan clutched his stomach, face green. **"Damn diarrhea—"**

**BLARING ALARMS** cut him off.

In his 20-year tenure, only **five breaches** had triggered this alarm. **Shiki the Golden Lion** had been the sole success.

Pulling up his pants, he stormed out—to find guards panicking.

**"Warden! An intruder—!"**

Magellan sighed. **"How many this time?"**

The guard trembled. **"...One."**
