One Piece: Legacy of the Pirate King

Chapter 29One Piece: Legacy of the Pirate King

Alabasta burned once more.

Only this time, it wasn't civil war or drought or the plotting of Warlords. It was something far more insidious—a battle between truth and oblivion.

The Remnant Armada had come to bury memory.

But Lian D. Luffy and his crew stood between them and the heart of history.

Above Alubarna – The Skies of War

Black-winged soldiers rained from the clouds like meteors. Their eyes glowed with violet glyphs, their swords were curved like crescent moons, and their skin bore strange patterns—not tattoos, but seals. Seals meant to erase the memories of their enemies with every strike.

At the front of them soared High General Caelia, the Void Emissary—cold, calm, and terrifyingly fast.

"We gave the world peace when we destroyed the truth," she said. "And now, you dig up corpses."

Lian stepped forward, the shard of Vivi's memory glowing in his hand.

"I'd rather live in a messy truth… than a beautiful lie."

The Battle Breaks Loose

Lucien took to the skies immediately, his feet igniting into spiral flame kicks, lighting enemy wings like fireworks.

"Your peace smells like moldy socks!" he yelled mid-flip, kicking two warriors into the sand.

Mimi's mech—now upgraded with sand-pressure hydraulics—launched a salvo of sticky mines, wrapping entire squadrons in quick-hardening foam.

Rin moved like a whisper, slicing through enemies without making a sound, her twin blades leaving trails of air so sharp they cracked steel.

Sera stayed near Lian and Vivi, weaving defensive glyphs, blocking time-erasure arrows as they rained from above.

Meanwhile – Vivi Awakens

The moment the glyph cocoon around her broke, her eyes opened—

And she screamed.

Not in pain.Not in fear.

But in remembrance.

"I saw it," she gasped. "The truth about the First D. The end of the Ancient Kingdom."

She turned to Lian, her voice trembling.

"It wasn't Joy Boy who caused the war. It was them. The ones with no name. The ones who built the Vaults… and the Mirrors."

She reached out and placed the golden shard into Lian's chest.

It didn't burn.

It merged.

And for a second—

Lian saw flashes:

A colossal war across moons.

A dying planet screaming through time.

Joy Boy kneeling beside a shattered throne.

The Straw Hat… on fire.

The Real Target Revealed

Caelia hissed in fury. "You let her awaken too soon."

She raised her hand—and for the first time, space itself bent around her.

"Initiate Obscura Wipe."

A glyph appeared above her. Reality twisted.

Vivi screamed. "She's trying to erase this moment—from every timeline!"

Lian growled, stepping in front of his crew.

"Chrono Drive: Inherit Flame – Full Guard Mode!!"

Orange glyphs erupted from his body like wild vines. They wrapped around Vivi, around Sera, around the ship, around his crew—anchoring them in now.

Time bent.

Reality cracked.

But they didn't disappear.

The wipe failed.

Caelia reeled back, stunned.

"You carry the Forbidden Spark…"

Lian's eyes glowed like firestones.

"Damn right I do."

He lunged forward.

His fist collided with her chest—

Chrono Drive: Will Breaker Punch!

It shattered the glyph on her armor.

Caelia's wings cracked, and she was sent flying into the sky, vanishing like smoke.

The Armada scattered.

Alabasta was safe—for now.

Aftermath

They stood on the palace rooftop, watching the dawn.

Vivi placed a hand on Lian's shoulder. "You didn't just save me. You saved the memory of everyone who came before."

She looked to the desert.

"They'll come again."

Lian smirked. "Let them."

Later That Night

Sera sat with the shard Lian had absorbed now hovering in front of them, translating slowly. Every line revealed more.

Rin watched the perimeter, blade casually resting on her shoulder.

Lucien grilled cactus meat skewers, while Mimi tested new glitter explosives on sand crabs.

Lian sat quietly, staring at the stars.

The flames beneath the sand hadn't just stirred old enemies.

They had awakened the buried will of the world.

And it was only beginning.

Preview: Chapter 30 – The World Breaker's Compass

On the trail of the next vault, the crew discovers a device built by Joy Boy himself—a compass that doesn't point north… but to the greatest lie ever told. But the one who guards it now is an old Straw Hat ally gone rogue.
