Celeste, her mind racing, plotted her escape. The walls of her prison seemed insurmountable, the guards ever vigilant. But she refused to give up hope. She studied her surroundings, searching for weaknesses, planning her every move. She knew that freedom was out there, waiting for her, and she wouldn't rest until she found it.
Meanwhile, Elara, Anya, and Lyra, hiding in the bustling port of Sabaody, found themselves caught in a sudden clash. A group of pirates, known as the Red Skull pirates, attacked them, their blades flashing, their voices roaring with a primal fury.
Elara, her time-bending powers at the ready, countered the pirates' attacks. She manipulated time, creating pockets of dilation and acceleration, dodging their attacks and striking back with a speed that defied comprehension.
Anya, her Conqueror's Haki surging through her veins, unleashed a wave of energy, a wave of power that swept through the pirates, knocking them off their feet, sending them reeling backward in a flurry of confusion.
Lyra, her eyes burning with a fierce determination, joined the fight. She wielded her newfound Conqueror's Haki with a skill that surprised even herself, her attacks landing with a force that could shatter the very fabric of reality.
The Red Skull pirates, overwhelmed by the trio's power, retreated in disarray. They had never encountered such a formidable force, such a deadly combination of skills and power.
But the battle was short-lived. The pirates' attack was a mere prelude to a far greater danger. News of the trio's exploits had reached the ears of the World Government, and they had responded with a swift and decisive action: bounties.
Elara, with her time-bending powers and her blade Aethelred, was now worth 200 million berries. Anya, with her Conqueror's Haki and her Cartomancy fruit, was worth 90 million berries. Their names were now etched in the annals of the World Government's most wanted criminals.
Elara, Anya, and Lyra, their hearts pounding with a mixture of fear and excitement, realized that their lives had changed forever. They were no longer just adventurers, they were now fugitives, hunted by the most powerful force in the world.
