The ruins grew colder. A presence had been here. Something ancient. Something watching.
Gandalf stood still, his silver eyes fixed on the mist. His grip on his staff tightened.
"We are not alone," he murmured.
The Straw Hats tensed. Even Luffy, usually carefree, felt a strange pressure. A gaze. A heavy, unseen force pressing down on them.
Then, in the distance, a bell rang.
Dong.
Dong.
Dong.
The sound vibrated through the ruins, an eerie chime that sent chills through even Zoro's spine. It wasn't an ordinary bell. It was a call. A warning.
And then, the sky turned red.
A deep crimson glow spread across the clouds twisting like fire in the heavens. For a brief moment, everyone saw it.
A colossal red eye, glaring from the sky itself.
It wasn't Sauron's.
It was something worse.
Robin's voice trembled. "That's… not possible."
Gandalf exhaled slowly. "Imu has seen us."
The Straw Hats froze.
"Hold up." Sanji flicked his cigarette. "You're saying that… Imu, the one who rules the World Government in secret, is watching us right now?"
Gandalf turned to him. "Not watching. Hunting."
A gust of black wind tore through the ruins. The carvings on the walls shifted, glowing with an unholy red light. The whispers from before grew louder, turning into agonized screams.
Robin clutched her head. "Something is forcing the past to awaken."
Gandalf turned sharply to Luffy. "You must listen. Imu is tied to this world. To Middle-earth."
Luffy blinked. "Huh? What do you mean?"
Gandalf's gaze was grim. "Imu… is the last survivor of the War of the Rings."
A silence fell over the crew.
Usopp was the first to break it. "Wait, wait, wait. So you're saying Imu isn't just some ancient king? They're from Middle-earth?"
"Not just from it," Gandalf said. "Imu was one of the first to serve Sauron. A warrior who sought immortality. When Sauron fell, Imu vanished… but the World Government rose in their place."
Zoro clenched his fists. "So that means the Void Century… was a cover-up for a war that destroyed Middle-earth?"
Gandalf nodded. "Yes. And now, the past is waking up."
Dong.
Dong.
The bell rang again.
And this time the mist parted.
A figure stepped forward.
Tall. Draped in black armour. A helmet with a twisted crown. A sword that shimmered with a sickly, ghostly glow.
Robin's breath caught. "That's… that's impossible."
Gandalf gritted his teeth. "No. It is exactly as I feared."
Luffy's fists ignited with Haki, his eyes burning with excitement. "Oi, old man, who is this guy?"
Gandalf's voice was like steel.
"One of the Dark Lord's greatest servants. A wraith of old. A king who should have never returned."
The figure raised its sword, its hollow voice whispering through the air.
"The Ring… must return to Mordor."
Gandalf lifted his staff, eyes sharp. "The Witch-King rides again."
