The Great Movement

The world continued to turn, unaware that its future was being meticulously rewritten. While the marines scrambled to interpret the silence from Totto Land and the revolutionaries debated their next movements, Figarland Shamrock had already begun reshaping the global order.

From his aerial flagship, cloaked in the warped fabric of twisted time, Shamrock overlooked the map of the world. His crimson eyes scanned the regions, seeking out those who posed a threat or offered value.

"It's time to begin," he murmured.

With a single thought, he erased the time it would take to reach his first target, Marine Headquarters, New Marineford.

Target One: Fleet Admiral Akainu.

The fleet admiral had no time to react. The moment Shamrock appeared inside the inner sanctum of the admiral's wing, darkness surged forth, wrapping around Akainu and suppressing his Devil Fruit abilities completely. Hot magma got cooled by the everlasting darkness, his body trembled.

Before he could shout for any reinforcements, Shamrock's fingers glowed with the ethereal light of the Memory-Memory Fruit.

"Forget your loyalty to justice," he whispered. "You serve me now."

Akainu's pupils dilated. A moment later, he dropped to his knees, utterly devoted.

"Your will is my command, My Lord."

Target Two: Sabo, the Flame Emperor.

In a remote mountain base in Baltigo's ruins, Sabo trained alone. He never saw Shamrock coming.

In an instant, the time it would have taken to raise his staff was erased.

The shadows of Cerberus enveloped him. The Dark-Dark Fruit neutralized the Mera Mera no Mi. And then, Memory Invasion.

Sabo fought harder. He resisted, screamed, blood poured from his eyes as he tried to preserve Ace's will.

But Shamrock rewrote the fire into ash.

"You burned for me long ago, Sabo. You've always served ME."

The flames in his eyes changed color, from golden-red to hollow black.

Target Three: Boa Hancock.

Though her power came from beauty and pride, both were shackled when Shamrock appeared above Amazon Lily. Her sisters tried to fight. Their attempts feeble, their resistance futile.

Hancock's elegance crumbled before the weight of Darkness and Memory.

He didn't even speak. He simply erased the moments that would allow her to flee, bound her in darkness, and implanted the memory:

"You love only me. You are the weapon of my will."

She smiled adoringly, falling to her knees. The Empress of Love now worshipped the God of Dominion.

Across the World…

Others followed: Law, Crocodile, Buggy, Dragon, Morgan, etc

Anyone powerful, useful or influential enough with a Devil Fruit was found, suppressed, and reprogrammed.

Even the remnants of the Shichibukai were reduced to pawns.

Only a few, like Garp, remained beyond reach. Their strength didn't stem from a fruit, but from unyielding will and monstrous Haki.

Shamrock watched him from afar. The old man searched endlessly, hoping to find Luffy's trail.

Futile.

The boy he sought had already been cast into the flames.

"Let the old lion wander." Shamrock said coldly. "He'll die roaring at shadows."

As for Mihawk, the world's greatest swordsman did nothing. He trained in silence, kept to his island, and watched the world shift without raising his blade. Shamrock respected his solitude.

For now.

With most of the world's strongest Devil Fruit users enslaved, Shamrock returned to his throne. The CP-0 knelt, reporting the success of every mission.

The three-headed Cerberus behind him pulsed with power. Memory, Darkness, and Time, entwined into something divine.

"Soon," Shamrock muttered, eyes fixed on the Holy Land. "Imu will fall. The Gorosei will forget. And I will become the one true God of this world."
