Thank you, everyone, for continuing to read my story!

As always, I do not own Overlord or One Piece. Thank you very much, and I hope you enjoy it!


The majestic Pangaea Castle, the grandest structure in the Holy Land Mary Geoise, was the location of the Five Elders. They were the highest authority within the World Government, their decrees unchallenged, and their true power shrouded in obscurity. To the world, they were the pinnacle of power. However, within the heart of this imposing institution, an even greater enigma lurked—a hidden ruler known solely to the Five Elders themselves.

Imu, the true sovereign of the World Government and the one who sits on the Empty Throne, is concealed from the eyes of all but a select few. Imu was a name seldom uttered, their existence veiled in secrecy. Imu was not bound by the constraints of the world or its rules. They were the shadowy hand that guided the destiny of nations, the puppeteer who manipulated the world's affairs.

At this moment, Imu was studying a massive tapestry that was spread across a table within their private chamber. The tapestry depicted a sprawling map of the world, with countless pins marking significant locations and events. Imu's gaze fixated on a specific area- East Blue.

Imu began to tap their fingers on the map, the rhythmic sound filling the room, growing louder and louder until it reached a crescendo. Then, as suddenly as it had begun, the tapping ceased, plunging the room into silence.

All of the sudden, Imu reached for the map and tore it into pieces. Pins that had marked the world's events cascaded to the ground as the map was shredded into fragments. Despite the destruction of the intricate map, Imu's expression remained tranquil and unyielding, displaying no signs of anger or frustration.

With that action, Imu left the room, leaving only the remnants of the shredded map and scattered pins on the chamber's floor.

Outside Pangaea Castle, the Holy Land Mary Geoise continued its tranquil existence, unaware of the true puppeteer pulling the strings of destiny. Imu's shadowy influence extended far and wide, and the world trembled in anticipation of the changes to come.


Rayleigh found himself in an unexpected situation. He had sensed a foreboding presence and ventured to its source, only to find an elderly man named Sebas Tian. Although the sense of danger had dissipated upon his arrival, Rayleigh remained vigilant. He was still unsure of Sebas's intentions or whether he was a potential threat. However, when he met Sebas, he felt a different sense. Sebas exuded an undeniable aura of power and strength, and while it was different from the sense of danger before, he could see that Sebas was no simple man.

After introducing himself with a warm smile, Sebas Tian remained silent, awaiting a response from Rayleigh. Rayleigh, hoping to gain information, began interacting with Sebas.

"Oh ho. It seems you're familiar with who I am," Rayleigh remarked with a wry smile. "My name must have traveled quite far. I suppose there's no need for introductions then. But may I ask why you've come here? I don't believe I've heard of you before"

Sebas Tian stroked his beard, a kind smile gracing his features. With a thoughtful gaze fixed behind Rayleigh, he answered, "Well, honesty is the best policy, they say. I couldn't help but be drawn here, especially after witnessing that remarkable display at Marineford. The young boy over there..." Sebas paused, looking up at the sky, "It pained me to see such innocence marred by the harsh realities of this world. I want to ensure his survival and contribute to the dawn of a new era."

Rayleigh nodded, acknowledging the sincerity of Sebas's words. "It warms my heart to see so many allies rally around Luffy. However, I am already committed to training him myself, and I would prefer to avoid any distractions at this crucial stage of his development. I'd appreciate it if you could leave and return once he's ready."

Sebas responded, "I understand your concern, and I admire your dedication to Luffy's training. However, my intention is not to teach, but to train alongside him. I wish to learn Haki as well."

Rayleigh blinked in astonishment at this unexpected request. After a brief pause, he asked, "You wish to learn Haki? From what I can sense, you are a formidable warrior with significant experience. I assumed you were already well-versed in Haki."

Sebas replied with a smile, "You think too highly of me. I am just an old man that is slightly more powerful than others. In fact, I have never used Haki, and am very interested in it. My abilities are based on something different called Ki. I want to understand this Haki you speak of. Also, I want to have the chance to meet and train with Luffy, hopefully joining his crew in the far future."

Rayleigh contemplated the request and began to respond, "I see your point, but I still can't trust you. Therefore, I must decli-"

Before Rayleigh could finish, a voice interrupted from behind him. "Hey, Rayleigh! What's taking you so long? Let's hurry up and train!"

Rayleigh turned to see Luffy, who had apparently grown impatient during his absence. He chided Luffy, "Luffy! I told you to rest by the tree, didn't I?"

Luffy replied, "I did, but you were gone for so long, I got worried! You took forever, Rayleigh!"

Noticing Sebas for the first time, Luffy's curiosity got the better of him. "Oh, who are you, old man?"

Sebas introduced himself politely, "Nice to meet you, Luffy. My name is Sebas Tian. A pleasure to make your acquaintance."

Luffy, with his trademark grin, responded, "Nice to meet you too! I'm Luffy! But I guess you already knew, huh? Hahaha! So, what's taking so long? Did something happen?"

Rayleigh was about to respond, but Sebas spoke up first, explaining, "I heard you were training to learn Haki, so I thought I might join in and train too."

Luffy, intrigued, asked Sebas, "Are you an enemy?"

Sebas shook his head with a smile. "Of course not."

Luffy's grin grew wider, and replied without hesitation, "If you're not an enemy, then it's fine! The more, the merrier! Let's go! Come on!"

Sebas smiled warmly at Luffy's response, inwardly impressed by the young man's trust and kindness.

With that, Luffy turned and motioned for both Rayleigh and Sebas to follow him. Rayleigh reached out to speak, but Luffy was already heading off, too far ahead to hear him clearly. Rayleigh sighed and decided to let it go.

Turning to Sebas, Rayleigh said, "I suppose I don't really have a choice in this manner anymore. There's no harm in you training alongside Luffy, but I must insist that you do not interfere. Luffy must be fully prepared for the challenges that lie ahead, and I want to ensure his training remains focused."

Sebas nodded in agreement and said, "I understand completely. I will not be a distraction and will respect your guidance. Thank you for allowing me to join."

Rayleigh couldn't help but chuckle, thinking, 'I guess there's no harm in it.' He looked up at the sky, reflecting, 'What a fortunate boy, attracting such remarkable people.'

With that settled, Rayleigh and Sebas followed Luffy. It was time to begin the training to prepare Luffy for the adventures that awaited him in the world. And with that, two months immediately passed.


Far from the secluded island of Rusukaina, where Luffy and Sebas were engaged in intensive training, the world was abuzz with the emergence of a mysterious new pirate crew. Speculations about their origin and their enigmatic leader ran rampant, fueling intrigue and rumors.

Some thought that they were just rookies trying to make their own pirate group. Others thought that they were strong pirates secretly hiding their strength for the past few years and were finally coming out due to recent events.

However, while opinions on the crew's background varied, everyone agreed on one thing—their captain was shrouded in mystery. The captain wore a peculiar mask shaped like a smiling devil, an eerie and unsettling visage. Speculation abounded regarding the reason for the mask's concealment: Was the captain's face famous or infamous? Was he being pursued by a relentless enemy? Or did he merely wish to hide his ugly appearance? The answer remained elusive.

What truly captured the world's attention, however, were the audacious actions of this new pirate crew in the past weeks. Seizing the opportunity created by the chaos in the Marines following Garp the Hero and Fleet Admiral Sengoku's resignations, the crew had boldly embarked on a series of high-profile actions.

Their debut made headlines when they launched a devastating assault on G-2, a prominent Marine Base located in the Grand Line. In a matter of minutes, the once-formidable structure had been reduced to rubble, with only two survivors left to tell the tale.

However, the most shocking and recent headline was the crew's audacious attack on the Lulusia Kingdom. They razed the royal castle to the ground, eliminating the entire royal family in the process. Normally, the fall of a kingdom would incite rebellion among the populace, but astonishingly, the citizens had seemingly pledged their support for the pirates, even going as far as to fly their flag in their towns!

Now, you might be wondering, what's the name of this new pirate crew? This mysterious pirate crew had been dubbed the "Nazarick Pirates," a name that sent ripples of curiosity and fear throughout the world. Comprised of a mere five members, their swift rise to infamy defied explanation.

Among the crew members, the three female members stood out, simply because of how normal and beautiful they looked. In fact, all three of them were wearing maid outfits! The first, Entoma, appeared as a young girl with mauve hair and twin chignons. She seemed unassuming, with no visible weapon to her name. However, no one doubted that if she was a part of this crew, she must play a role.

The second member, Narberal, was described as an elegant, snow-white-skinned beauty with a long black ponytail. She wielded a golden staff plated in silver as her weapon. Attracted by her appearance, many men and women around the world swooned at her beauty.

The third girl, Lupusregina, boasted brown skin and long, red hair tied in two braids. She carried a large scepter on her back. No one doubted that she would be able to swing that weapon with strength that can easily knock down men.

The fourth member deviated from conventional human appearance. It resembled a strange, blue insect bristling with sharp spikes and a tail lined with similar spikes. It also had four arms, which was astonishing to many. Its weapon of choice was a massive halberd. While being astonished at the weapon, many more were wondering of it's species and origin.

And finally, the captain, Ainz Ooal Gown, concealed his face behind the enigmatic mask. His attire consisted of a robe that obscured his body, along with gloves that veiled his hands. Despite lacking an overt weapon, there was no doubt that he possessed formidable power. Even in newspaper photographs, his strength and authority radiated unmistakably.

The world watched with a mixture of fear and anticipation as the Nazarick Pirates made their presence known. Since the Summit War of Marineford, the world had been thrust into a state of uncertainty. Some hoped for the crew's downfall like countless others before them, while others feared the changes that lay ahead.

With a combined bounty of 305,000,000 Belly, the Nazarick Pirates are one of the few crews that have gotten a bounty of over 1 Million Belly so quickly, easily becoming another Super Rookie. However, the Nazarick Pirates had only just begun their ascent, leaving the world to wonder what their future held.
