Chapter 10 — The Path to the Red Line
The dawn was painted in blood and gold as the Revenant fleet set sail.
The Supreme King's banner flew high — black and silver, defiant against the sky.
The sea was calm, but Max felt the weight of destiny in every wave.
---
The March of Empires
Across the Grand Line, word spread like wildfire: Max D. Revenant was coming for the Red Line.
Kingdoms quaked. Pirates sharpened their blades. The Navy's strongest marshaled their forces.
Even the Revolutionaries paused, watching the storm that was about to break.
---
The Final War Council
In the fortress war room, Kairo's finger traced a path across the map.
"The Red Line is a fortress — and Mariejois is the heart of their power," he said.
Max nodded. "We do not attack like conquerors. We attack like liberators."
Robin stepped forward, her ancient texts in hand. "There are secret passages beneath Mariejois — relics of the kingdom that once ruled there."
Max's eyes burned. "Then we will use their secrets to bring them down."
---
The Power of the System
As they prepared, Max's system pulsed with new power:
[Quest: The Fall of the Gods — Infiltrate Mariejois and confront Imu directly.]
[Skill Upgrade: Celestial Conqueror Haki — Your Haki now burns with the will of the ancient kingdom. All allies gain immunity to fear.]
Max felt the power flow through him — not just strength, but purpose.
---
Allies of the Dawn
The Revenant fleet was no longer alone.
From Wano, the samurai of the Kozuki clan sailed under the banner of dawn.
From the seas of Fishman Island, King Neptune's warriors rose from the depths.
Even from the shadows, a silent promise: the Revolutionaries would strike when the time was right.
---
A Farewell
The night before they reached the Red Line, Max stood on the deck, staring at the stars.
Lira joined him, her gaze soft in the moonlight. "Do you ever wonder if this is madness?" she asked.
Max smiled faintly. "Of course. But it is a beautiful madness."
She leaned her head on his shoulder. "Then let us be mad together."
---
The Red Line
At dawn, the Revenant fleet reached the base of the Red Line.
The cliffs loomed above them, a monument to the World Government's arrogance.
Max raised his hand, his Haki crackling like a living storm. "This ends today."
---
Infiltration
Robin led the first team — Lira at her side, silent and deadly.
Through secret passages older than the Celestial Dragons themselves, they moved like shadows.
They emerged in the heart of Mariejois, where the grandeur of the World Nobles hid rot and fear.
---
The Final Confrontation
Max led the second wave — warriors of the Revenant Empire, their spirits shining.
The Celestial Dragons cowered in their golden halls, their power useless against the Supreme King's Haki.
Max's voice was calm. "Your time is over."
---
Imu's Throne
At the heart of Mariejois, the Five Elders waited — and behind them, the true ruler of the world.
Imu stepped forward, her presence cold and ancient.
"You dare to challenge the gods?" she asked, her voice echoing like the void.
Max met her gaze. "I dare to end them."
---
Clash of Titans
Imu raised a hand — and the shadows themselves seemed to bend to her will.
Max's Haki flared in response, a tide of will that shattered the air.
The clash was like the end of the world.
---
The Will of D Awakens
As their power collided, the ancient texts Robin had found began to glow.
Symbols of a kingdom long lost — the kingdom of the D.
Max's system chimed:
[Legacy Unlocked: Supreme King's Mantle — Your Haki now carries the Will of D, binding you to the ancient promise of freedom.]
Max's eyes blazed. "I am the heir of the lost kingdom — and your end."
---
The Fall of the Five Elders
Kairo and the Revenant warriors clashed with the Five Elders, each battle a storm.
Steel met fury, but the Five Elders faltered beneath the Revenant's unbreakable will.
One by one, they fell — and the halls of Mariejois echoed with the end of an age.
---
Imu's True Power
But Imu did not yield.
The air twisted around her, shadows forming wings of darkness.
"You think you understand power?" she whispered. "You know nothing."
She struck, and the Revenant warriors fell back — but Max stood unbroken.
---
The Supreme King's Fury
Max's Conqueror's Haki burned brighter than ever.
"You rule through fear," he said. "But I lead with hope."
He raised his sword — and the clash of their wills shook the heavens.
---
The End of an Era
In that final moment, Max saw the truth of the world — the endless cycle of kings and tyrants.
And he chose to break it.
His Haki surged — not just to destroy, but to create.
The shadows of Imu's power shattered, light flooding the throne room.
---
A New Dawn
When the clash ended, Imu lay defeated, her shadowy wings broken.
The Revenant warriors gathered around Max, their faces shining with awe.
"It's over," Lira whispered.
Max shook his head. "No. It has only just begun."
---
The World Rejoices
As news of Imu's fall spread, the seas erupted in celebration.
In Alabasta, the people danced in the streets.
In Dressrosa, they sang songs of freedom.
Even the Revolutionaries raised their banners high — the age of gods was over.
---
The Supreme King's Promise
On the steps of Mariejois, Max spoke to the world.
His voice was steady, his Haki a promise in the air.
"We are no longer slaves to fate. We will build a new world — together."
The people's cheers rose like a tide, washing away the last remnants of the old order.
---
The Final Revelation
Robin approached Max, her eyes bright. "The texts speak of more — the final treasure, the Dawn itself."
Max's smile was calm. "Then that is our next journey."
---
A World Reborn
As the Revenant fleet sailed from Mariejois, the seas felt different — freer, wilder.
The Yonko watched with wary respect. The Revolutionaries planned their next move.
And the Supreme King's legend grew.
---
The Dawn of the Supreme King
At the prow of his ship, Max looked to the horizon.
Lira stood beside him, her hand in his.
"What do you see?" she asked softly.
He smiled. "I see a world worth fighting for."
And with that, the Revenant fleet sailed on — not just to conquer, but to create.
The world was theirs to shape.

End of Chapter 10.
