Judgment Descends Upon the Naruto World Chapter 214 214-50: Butterfly Effect! NEO-Marines Early Star

"Wait—comndation?!"

Nami stared in disbelief. "Are you serious right now?!"

Rear Admiral Hina let out a helpless laugh and nodded.

"Yeah. I'm just as baffled as you are…"

"Instead of punishing Chiyu-sama, Marine HQ and the World Governnt are publicly praising him. Not only did they reinstate his vice admiral rank, but they also sent him a ton of resources—money, supplies, weapons, ammo… everything."

Nami scratched her head. "So... what's the deal?"

Franky snorted. "Like hell I'm buying the World Governnt being all generous and noble."

Barbara, who'd taken the Den-Den Mushi call, chid in:

"You're right not to trust them."

"Yes, Chiyu-sama's been reinstated and officially praised—but here's the twist…"

"The World Governnt is now claiming that taking down Crocodile and Gecko Moria was their plan all along—that they ordered Chiyu-sama to do it."

Everyone's expression darkened instantly.

Nami exploded. "That's so shaless!"

"They spent all that ti trying to stop Chiyu-sama, and now they're turning around and stealing credit?!"

"No wonder they're praising him—it's just a big PR spin!"

Franky actually looked amused.

"Ha! Now that's the World Governnt I know. Shaless as ever—SUPER thick-skinned!"

Everyone else, though, was livid.

Chiyu stayed calm and asked Barbara, "Anything else they said?"

"Yeah. They admitted the Warlord system has problems, but claid they 'realized' it and imdiately sent you, Chiyu-sama, to clean it up. Now they're planning to recruit two new Warlords to fill the gaps…"

"Still recruiting?!"

Nami's voice rose. "Every Warlord so far has turned out rotten—and they still won't scrap the system?!"

Chiyu nodded slightly. "From their perspective, it's not ti to abolish it yet."

Hina frowned. "And when will it be?"

"No idea," Chiyu replied. "Whenever they think they're ready."

"Ready for what?"

Chiyu didn't answer.

But the crew could guess: they were waiting until they had enough power to wipe out all opposition.

Of course, Chiyu already knew more.

Weapons like the Pacifistas—created from Bartholow Kuma—and the Seraphim, modeled after the Warlords themselves, were part of the World Governnt's secret experints.

…

Aboard the Uchiha, the crew had just left the Florian Triangle. The Red Line lood ahead—they were nearly halfway through the Grand Line.

But compared to what lay beyond—the New World—this first half was considered the easy part.

In the first half, the seas were chaotic but disconnected—each island ruled itself, more or less.

The New World, though…

It was ruled by monsters—the Four Emperors:

Whitebeard, Edward Newgate

Kaido of the Beasts

Red-Haired Shanks

Big Mom, Charlotte Linlin

They weren't just pirates—they were institutions, titans who controlled the entire sea. Going into the New World ant facing them head-on. And the outco? Usually fatal.

Before reaching the Red Line, though, the crew made a stop at Sabaody Archipelago—the final checkpoint before heading up.

It looked flashy and modern on the surface, but beneath that glitz… hid sothing rotten.

The ugliest part of the One Piece world—

The Celestial Dragons.

At the sa ti, the World Governnt's announcent—declaring Crocodile and Moria stripped of their Warlord titles and announcing two new replacents—sent shockwaves around the globe.

Of course, not everyone bought the official story.

Most already knew the truth: Crocodile and Moria were out of control and got taken down by Uchiha Chiyu. The World Governnt just didn't want to lose face.

Still, being a Warlord—while not every pirate's dream—was tempting. The Navy's protection, the power, the recognition…

Suddenly, lots of big nas were throwing their hats in the ring.

But getting chosen wasn't easy.

The original Seven Warlords were:

Dracule Mihawk

Boa Hancock

Donquixote Doflamingo

Bartholow Kuma

Jinbe

Gecko Moria

Crocodile

Now Moria and Crocodile were dead. Blackbeard (Marshall D. Teach) was still with Whitebeard. Ace had only just joined the crew. Buggy? Already dead—Chiyu made sure of that.

Which ant…

Two new candidates erged.

First: Trafalgar Law.

Captain of the Heart Pirates, user of the Ope Ope no Mi, and known as the Surgeon of Death. His goal? Kill his old boss—current Warlord Donquixote Doflamingo.

To prove his "intent," he handed over one hundred pirate hearts.

Marine HQ was stunned.

After all, the Warlords were ant to scare pirates straight—and Law's move played perfectly into that.

Plus, the Ope Ope no Mi was considered one of the most valuable Devil Fruits in existence—worth over five billion berries.

With credentials like that, Law was a perfect fit. So the Governnt approved him.

Second: Edward Weevil.

Nicknad Whitebeard Jr., this guy claid to be the biological son of Edward Newgate himself. He had the looks—and more terrifyingly, he had the strength.

His brain? Not so sharp.

Every move he made was directed by his mother, Buckingham Stussy—a scheming woman who knew exactly how to exploit the current situation.

Together, they rode Whitebeard's reputation, annihilated pirate crews, and impressed the World Governnt enough to earn the Warlord title.

But none of this was part of the original tiline.

In the canon story, Weevil doesn't beco a Warlord until after the Paramount War. Law joins after that too.

But thanks to Chiyu's arrival, the tiline had shifted—drastically. Marineford was still four years away, and already the pieces were moving out of order.

One butterfly flapped its wings—and the ripple beca a storm, reshaping the pirate world.

So changes, even Chiyu couldn't have predicted.

…

Elsewhere…

News of Edward Weevil's promotion hit a Marine training base.

A man with a giant Sea-Prism Stone chanical arm—the "Crusher"—clenched his fist.

RUMBLE!

BOOM!

Power exploded around him as he roared in fury.

"Admiral Zephyr, please—calm down!"

"GET OUT OF MY WAY!"

Zephyr had lost it.

Once a high-ranking admiral, he'd seen his family slaughtered by pirates. The Navy and World Governnt he served didn't feel like justice anymore.

In his 40s, he tried to resign, but they talked him into staying—just not as an admiral. Instead, he beca a Marine instructor, building the next generation from the ground up.

His students?

The current three admirals—Aokiji, Akainu, and Kizaru.

Plus countless vice admirals—Doberman, Onigumo, Momonga—and even Smoker and Hina.

Zephyr was the foundation of the Navy's new era.

Then one day, on a training voyage, pirates attacked. Nearly all his cadets died. He lost his right arm.

Now, with a Seastone prosthetic and a heart full of hate, he carried on… until today.

Until this mont—

When the man who caused his pain…

beca a Warlord.

Edward Weevil.

It was too much.

"The Navy? The World Governnt? Justice?"

"It's all bullshit!"

Zephyr laughed like a madman, tears falling.

He was exhausted. Broken. Asthmatic.

"Admiral Zephyr, please… your health—"

Ain and Binz, the only survivors of the massacre, tried to calm him.

But the Black Arm Zephyr rose, tall and towering like steel.

He looked to the sea with burning eyes.

"I'm done with the Navy."

Gasps all around.

"But not just that," he said. "I'm going to burn this rotten world to the ground."

"You…"

"Will you follow ?!"

Ain, Binz, and the others exchanged a look. Then they stood tall.

"We'll follow you to the end, Sensei!"

"Good," Zephyr said. "From now on, we're not the World Governnt's dogs anymore…"

"We are the NEO-Marines!"

And just like that, another ripple ford in the tiline—

All because Chiyu had entered the story.
