One Piece: Starting By Playing Gilgamesh Template. Chapter 57 57: The Entire Sea Will Be Swept Away

The battle at Retooth Island—

Shook the heavens and the earth.

Under the terrifying aftermath of that clash, the endless pirates, swordsn, and bounty hunters present on the island suffered devastating losses—less than one in ten survived…

However—

Those with sufficient strength… or sheer luck…

Managed to escape with their lives.

And these survivors—

Without holding anything back—

Spread the events of that day, along with the words of the Ancient King, in an extrely exaggerated manner.

In the first half of the Grand Line, near the port of Uz Island, inside a small tavern—

A rugged swordsman clad in samurai attire, his long blade resting on the table, downed the alcohol in his bowl in one gulp.

With a faint trace of drunkenness, he began boasting to the surrounding pirates.

"I'm telling you… you wouldn't believe it!"

"The highest combat power of Marine Headquarters! All three Admirals joined forces—and still got crushed by the Ancient King! They fled in utter disgrace!"

"What?! Even the three Admirals couldn't defeat him?!"

"If that's true… then doesn't that an the Ancient King's strength has truly surpassed the Four Emperors?!"

"No way… Marine Admirals are the pillars that suppress the seas. How could all three be deployed at once…?"

"The Ancient King… a being beyond the level of the Four Emperors… just who is he?!"

The mont those words fell—

The entire tavern erupted into chaos.

Gasps of shock rang out one after another.

So pirates even shot up from their seats.

Contracted pupils.

Trembling bodies.

Legs shaking uncontrollably.

Every reaction made it clear—

Just how deeply shaken they were.

Those were Admirals—

Existences that made them tremble in fear just by na alone!

And yet—

They had been defeated!

Defeated even when three of them had joined forces!

Such a level of power—

Was entirely beyond their imagination!

The swordsman's gaze swept across the tavern, taking in every reaction.

A satisfied smile crept onto his face.

Just as he expected—

These people couldn't even begin to comprehend what he had witnessed.

But that was only natural.

To most people—

Three Admirals working together was an unbeatable force.

And yet…

That wasn't even the most shocking part.

In his mind, the scene of that apocalyptic battle resurfaced once more—

Along with the fragnts of truth the Ancient King had revealed.

A tremor ran through his heart.

Taking a deep breath—

He gripped the long blade on the table and slamd it down hard.

Bang!

The sharp sound instantly silenced the entire tavern.

All eyes turned toward him once more—

Filled with confusion.

Seeing the crowd quiet down, the swordsman t their gazes and spoke again.

"You really think the retreat of three Admirals is the biggest news here?"

"No… compared to what the Ancient King revealed afterward… even the Admirals are nothing!"

The confusion deepened.

The pirates simply couldn't understand—

What could possibly be more shocking than three Admirals losing?

Could it be—

That the Revolutionary Army had won?

That the World Governnt was about to fall?

In the next mont—

The swordsman spoke again.

And his words—

Froze the entire tavern in place.

"The Ancient King… is not from this era! He is the king of the Uruk Empire from four thousand years ago!"

"Back then… humanity was not the ruler of the seas! We were barely surviving! endless races competed across the ocean, and the strongest among them… was the Divine Race!"

"The Divine Race possessed endless powerful beings, crushing humanity beneath their might!"

"The Ancient King himself was gravely injured in that war against them… and thus fell into a slumber that lasted four thousand years—only awakening recently!"

"And in that ancient era… there were endless experts! Many who stood on the sa level as the Ancient King—beings beyond the Four Emperors!"

"There were even supre existences… far surpassing the Ancient King himself!"

"It was an era infinitely more glorious than the current Age of Pirates!"

"And according to the Ancient King…"

"That apocalyptic war of the distant past…"

"Is about to begin again!"

"When that happens…"

"The entire sea… will be swept into it!"
