【One Piece】Dawn in the Darkness

Chapter 458 Graffiti on Marineford

A murmur arose in the navy as they listened to their conversation in fear, filled with dread about what was to come. They didn't understand what they meant, nor what would happen next.

But no matter what happens, they are unable to put up any resistance. So far, any navy soldiers and officers who are foolish enough to try to attack them have been completely defeated, and they haven't even been able to get close to the young pirates.

"Have fun, kids. Whatever you do, remember one thing you must do!" Rayleigh unleashed his Conqueror's Haki to its fullest extent, and the surrounding Marines instantly collapsed.

Luffy burst into laughter, and his brothers grinned and shouted back, "Understood!"

Coby and Helmeppo stood together, dumbfounded, watching them rampage through the Marine Headquarters building, their confusion mirroring the fallen soldiers around them. Helmeppo reacted first, pulling Coby behind a building. It was highly suspicious that they were the only ones standing safely in the plaza, and...

Helmeppo and Coby stared in shock at the reporters who suddenly poured in from outside. Rayleigh, Jinbe, and Marco did not knock down the reporters; they merely prevented them from entering the headquarters building. However, the reporters continued to pat the Marines lying on the ground, and the higher-ups were about to scream.

About an hour later, Mr. Luffy and his brothers, who had entered the Marine Headquarters building, reappeared at the bottom of the main building. Under the bright lights, their huge smiles were clearly visible on their faces.

Koby watched them grin as they picked up the paint they had brought in at the beginning, and then... Koby watched in horror as they threw the paint on the wall and then covered the marks with red, blue, yellow, and black paint spray.

A sudden silence enveloped Marineford. Even the reporters who had been noisily taking pictures fell silent for a minute before the frantic sound of camera shutters rang out again. Marco the Phoenix and Rayleigh the Dark Lord simply smiled and watched with satisfaction as the four brothers did everything they were doing.

Over the next few days, the four brothers happily painted the wall, leaving graffiti.

“When he sees that, he’ll definitely turn Marineford upside down!” Bellemere stared in horror at the things his brothers had left behind.

Koby covered his face in anguish as he looked at the two graffiti depicting Admiral Akainu and Admiral Aokiji, along with the middle finger next to them. He completely agreed with his friend; he could easily imagine the fury they would feel when they saw the humiliating graffiti. Admiral Aokiji might not, but Admiral Akainu definitely would. He would definitely destroy this place.

Coby had completely realized that this was a revenge attack by the pirates. He felt a chill run down his spine. The higher-ups would definitely scream. He could already foresee the darkness that Marineford would be shrouded in next.

Reporters documented their every step, captured every moment of their graffiti, and identified every culprit behind the laughter and smiles.

The brothers finally completed their mission, looking at the graffiti-covered wall with bright smiles of satisfaction. At this moment, Harta and Sachi, who had been inside the Navy Headquarters building, also came out, their eyes gleaming with evil light and their faces wearing unusually satisfied smiles.

"Hahaha, your drawings are absolutely spot on!" Sachi and Harta grinned as they looked at the graffiti about the generals on the wall. "This will definitely be a surprise for those two generals!"

Lucci and Ace grinned mischievously. "That's not all."

"What else did you do?" Harta asked excitedly, looking at them.

“The real surprise is in their office.” Sabo’s eyes gleamed with mischief.

Luffy smiled brightly. "I hope they'll like my doodle!"

"They'll love it!" Ace grinned as the group reached the harbor, completely ignoring the reporters taking pictures around them.

Koby watched numbly as the warships slowly sailed away from the harbor. They left as easily as they had come, without any obstruction, and they had no way to stop them.

Koby turned his gaze back to the headquarters building. The message they had drawn was larger than any other, and they were careful not to let any other graffiti cover it up, which puzzled everyone. It was dominant, and the most important message was clearly left out. Although Koby had no idea what it meant, he knew that this was obviously the main purpose of their actions.

“3D (crossed out) 2Y?” Bellumeber muttered to himself, staring at the wall.

Coby looked up at the symbol, pondering what it might mean. Perhaps it was a message, but whatever it was, it must be important to Mr. Luffy, after all, they had ventured to Marineford.

Coby noticed that the reporters had already left in a hurry, probably to write another story about the crazy Straw Hat Luffy and his friends. Coby grinned.

The surrounding navy personnel began to wake up one after another, all staring in shock at the graffiti on the headquarters building. They shouted angrily, some officers running to notify the higher-ups, while others yelled for the walls to be cleaned up. But Koby thought it didn't matter, since the damage had already been done and was irreversible.

Luffy, I will work just as hard as you, and I will soon become someone who can stand on equal footing with you. Just you wait and see!

……

"Hahaha, I can't believe we actually did it!" Ace grinned as he climbed aboard the Moby Dick, grinning at his brothers.

“Dealing with the Navy is always so interesting, isn’t it?” Lucci grinned, climbing up from behind Ace. “This time, it’s sure to impress them.”

“We’ve successfully created chaos!” Sabo laughed triumphantly.

"They'll definitely get the message too." Luffy grinned. They had successfully created chaos, and his crew would soon understand the message he was conveying.

“This is absolutely the best prank ever!” Harta shouted excitedly.

“That’s right, Marco’s prank can only be ranked second!” Sachi grinned.

“Shut up, Sachi.” Marco had a lazy smile on his face, but it was clear that he was also pleased with the prank by the Navy Headquarters.

Rayleigh had a smile on his face the whole time, or rather, the smile never left his face from the moment Lucci suggested they go to Marineford to do graffiti.

Jinbe grinned as he looked at the four brothers; their madness far exceeded his expectations.

"Gurarara, having fun?" The white-bearded man smiled and raised a bowl of wine to his sons.

"This is absolutely fantastic!" Ace exclaimed excitedly.

"Gurarara, the Sengoku clan has gone mad!" Whitebeard grinned and exchanged a glance with Rayleigh.

Rayleigh laughed and took some wine from the barrel next to Whitebeard to drink.

Just then, a flock of newspaper-delivering seagulls flew overhead. One of them swooped down at Vista's shout, took the newspaper, glanced at it, and a look of shock appeared on Vista's face. Then he rushed to his father and shouted, "Dad, you have to see this!"

Lucci frowned. What they had done not long ago shouldn't have made Vista look like that, since they knew it from the beginning.

Rayleigh saw the newspaper before him, his eyes widened, a look of shock crossed his face, and he muttered a curse under his breath.
