This marks the end of the narrative, having laid out the necessary groundwork and revelations.
There are no further plot points to establish or elaborate upon.
All that remains is the war between the Navy and pirates, the World Government and the Revolutionary Army, culminating in the final grand battle.
Unfortunately, there are still 160,000 characters remaining to reach the one million mark. At 2,000 characters per chapter, that would require 80 more chapters.
This goal is clearly unattainable.
With the limited time remaining, I cannot write that much. The war will be swift, as Karos's ability will allow him to dominate the battlefield.
With high-tier combatants brought together through teleportation, even several Four Emperors would be unable to resist.
Therefore, the final decisive battle will commence in the next few days.
It is estimated to take about ten days to half a month to conclude, perhaps by the middle of next month?
-----------
Given the swift conclusion, why the prolonged writing?
The primary reason is the extensive scope of the grand finale I wish to depict.
Many fanfiction endings, how should I put it, fall far short of expectations.
This isn't to say they are bad, as their ratings indicate.
Many fanfiction finales simply conclude after eliminating the enemy.
The world is handed over to the Revolutionary Army, or the protagonist's own faction, and it's wrapped up in two or three chapters. The nobility, officials, reforms, and kingdoms are all left unaddressed.
It's presented as an open-ended happy ending.
It seems no different from the World Government, merely a change in leadership.
Whether the system is abolished or not, whether the nobility remains, eliminating Imu and the World Government is considered a perfect ending.
It's quite absurd.
Therefore, the ending I aim to write is one that thoroughly purges every aspect of this world from beginning to end.
Sakaski's approach is precisely that.
After the grand battle, I will continue writing for a period to manage the world.
I strive to completely overturn and rebuild the entire world.
However, the content and process will be quite brutal, so those who are overly sentimental should refrain from reading.
(PS: Yes, I'm referring to those who say things like "babies are innocent," or "the protagonist knew Roger started the Great Age of Pirates but didn't stop him," or "the protagonist kills good people among pirates, showing no humanity.")
(I can't be bothered to curse you. Blaming the protagonist for all the sins Roger caused with a single phrase "didn't stop him"? Is Roger your father?)
(Everyone can see the performance of this book. While the rating is there, the number of readers is small. Dealing with two food deliveries daily and earning this little money, why should I indulge you? Truly...)

Additionally.
A warning is issued here.
The upcoming plot will feature much 'slashing.'
A great deal...
Regardless of which character you favor, they may die directly.
Both the Navy and pirates will be affected.
This is because Sakaski acts with absolute ruthlessness.
He leaves no room for maneuver.
As for the recurring questions about Garp, Luffy, the Celestial Dragons, and so on, please do not ask them again.
Having read this book this far, how could you possibly think Sakaski would spare them?
I don't understand.
Many people within the Navy will even die in the near future.
Either they fall in battle during the grand confrontation, or they are purged by Sakaski.
Let alone anything about Luffy, the Celestial Dragons, or specific pirates.
What will be the result of this final arc?
Slashing...
Slash after slash...
Slash, slash, slash...
It's possible that a character you like might suddenly be 'slashed.'
This is a preemptive warning.
