One Piece: Invincible Starting From The Fruit Of Words

"Lucifer is not someone who will bow down to others, and he won't agree to join us.

"We misjudged him before. Lucifer is incredibly strong—Snag is no match for him at all."

In truth, Katakuri wanted to admit that even he was no match for Lucifer. Among the entirety of the Big Mom Pirates, only Big Mom herself could possibly stand against him.

If they wanted to recruit Lucifer, Big Mom would have to handle it personally.

But Katakuri couldn't say such things aloud—it was pointless to reason with Big Mom.

"Unfortunately, Mom, we won't be able to recruit Lucifer," Katakuri sighed.

"Unable to recruit?"

"That's not necessarily true! Mama-mama-mama~! Send that kid an invitation to the tea party. Invite him to Totto Land."

A dangerous glint flashed in Big Mom's eyes.

It was clear Katakuri's words hadn't dissuaded her. Big Mom's obsession ran deep; when she wanted something, she would do whatever it took to obtain it.

"Send the word, Katakuri—start preparing for this year's tea party."

"Mama-mama-mama!"

Big Mom's laughter echoed through the palace, sharp and eerie.

"Yes, Mom."

Katakuri's expression remained calm as he respectfully left the palace after receiving his orders.

New World: A Frozen Island

Inside an icy mountain cave, the Red Hair Pirates were gathered around a roaring bonfire, enjoying a banquet.

"This Lucifer is something else. He really stole the spotlight this time—even from us!"

"That's right! I haven't seen a rookie this daring in years—invading Mariejois all on his own!"

"After this stunt, his bounty will definitely skyrocket."

"Over a billion for sure. Maybe even two billion!"

"At this rate, only our captain and first mate will have higher bounties than him!"

The pirates laughed and discussed Lucifer enthusiastically.

Nearby, Shanks sat silently, staring at a newspaper with a serious expression.

"What's wrong? Weren't you excited about this newcomer? You look worried," Beckman said, placing a glass of wine next to Shanks while exhaling a puff of smoke.

Shanks shook his head. "I do admire his strength. His potential is exceptional. But he's too dangerous... I have a bad feeling."

Initially, Shanks had high hopes for Lucifer, impressed by his rare talents and courage. The young pirate reminded him of himself—a powerful, ambitious rookie.

But Lucifer's reckless actions troubled Shanks deeply.

Single-handedly flattening Mariejois sounded bold, but pulling it off was outright insane.

Lucifer's behavior reminded Shanks of a name from the past: Rocks D. Xebec.

"If Lucifer really is like Rocks, it won't just be the Marines or the pirates at risk—it'll be the entire world."

Shanks couldn't shake his unease. Lucifer's actions, combined with his recent exploits, made it clear: Lucifer wasn't a successor to Roger's will. He was more akin to Rocks.

Lucifer's madness would one day threaten the world itself.

"Alright, enough about him. Don't we have our own business to handle?" Beckman interrupted, releasing another smoke ring.

"Huh? What business?" Shanks looked confused.

"You don't think it's over just because we've taken down our rivals, do you? What about the territory? Where's ours?"

Shanks laughed heartily. "Territory doesn't matter! As pirates, freedom is what's most important."

The Red Hair Pirates burst into cheers, their lively laughter filling the mountain cave. Outside, heavy snow blanketed the landscape, but the pirates' enthusiasm remained undiminished.

New World: Dressrosa

Doflamingo held the latest newspaper in trembling hands. Sweat trickled down his forehead as he read about Lucifer's latest feat.

"Damn him! Even the World Government can't stop him?"

Lucifer had single-handedly invaded Mariejois, injured both Aokiji and Kizaru, and left even the Five Elders helpless.

His strength was leagues beyond Doflamingo's. Even with the full force of the Donquixote Family, they had no chance against Lucifer.

"Joker, what now? That bastard Lucifer's entered the New World," Torrebol said nervously, his voice shaky.

After witnessing Lucifer's power, even Torrebol and Pica had abandoned any thought of revenge. Their only hope now was that Lucifer wouldn't come after them.

"Don't panic! It's not over yet!" Doflamingo roared.

"What about Kaido? Have we heard from him?"

"If we can get Kaido's help, we'll have a chance against Lucifer."

"No response," Torrebol admitted, shaking his head. "And the other pirates we contacted have all backed out."

Doflamingo clenched his fists, fury contorting his face. "Damn cowards! Useless opportunists!"

"Keep trying. If we can secure Kaido's support, nothing else matters."

"Understood, Young Master."

Doflamingo's hopes rested on Kaido, the only ally who could rival Lucifer.

But unknown to him, Kaido had no intention of aiding Doflamingo. Without the artificial Devil Fruits that Doflamingo had once provided, Kaido had little reason to care about him.

New World: Open Sea

The Nether sailed smoothly under the bright sun and gentle breeze.

"Captain, the latest bounty posters are out," Enel announced, descending from the mast in a flash of lightning.

Lucifer, lounging on a beach chair, opened his eyes as Enel handed him the poster.

"Lucifer the Devil. Wanted for crimes beyond measure: Dead or Alive. Bounty: 2.548 billion berries."

Lucifer chuckled. "Adding over 2 billion in one go... looks like the Marines and the World Government have finally lost their minds."

Enel, Cavendish, and Baby 5 all rolled their eyes.

"Lost their minds? You leveled Mariejois. What did you expect?"

For 800 years, no one had dared to do what Lucifer had done.

In the New World, some pirates were already calling him the "Fifth Emperor." Lucifer, the Devil, had entered the New World and taken his place alongside Whitebeard, Kaido, Big Mom, and Shanks.

Lucifer had claimed his throne in a way no one ever had.

"What about your bounties? Haven't they gone up too?" Lucifer asked, glancing at his crewmates.

Though Lucifer had acted alone in the Mariejois raid, his crew would undoubtedly feel the ripple effects.
