Raid on Onigashima

The Raid on Onigashima was a battle that took place on the island of Onigashima in Wano Country during that year's Fire Festival. The invading forces were led by the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance, with the objective of defeating the Beasts Pirates, led by Kaidou of the Four Emperors and his allies, including Shogun Kurozumi Orochi and recent ally, fellow Emperor Big Mom.

They succeeded in their goal after many epic battles and with their victory Wano was finally free from 20 years of tyranny and ruined Kaidou's New Onigashima Project thanks to one of the alliance's main leaders, Monkey D. Luffy.

The Beginning of the Great Battle
The Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance had successfully infiltrated Onigashima despite a few hiccups and even though they snuck in using disguises, it was not long until a full all-out battle with the Beasts Pirates had begun. After Kurozumi Kanjuro was exposed as the spy, Kiku asked him if there was any real companionship from their time together; Kanjuro took what she said as a complement to his acting skills, showing he had no remorse in betraying the Scabbards. This hurt Kiku even more as she fights Kanjuro. The rest of the Scabbards join in and knock him out. After 20 years of waiting the loyal retainers of Kozuki Oden attacked Kaidou of the Four Emperors with all their strength to avenge their master's death and help make his dream of opening Wano's borders a reality.

All the samurai present on the Live Floor were awestruck by Straw Hat Pirates as they showed off their extreme battle prowess by defeated several Beasts Pirates with relative ease. Then as the Straw Hats stood united against their foes, the captain of this motley crew Monkey D. Luffy confidently proclaimed that he would be the one to defeat Kaidou. The All-Star Queen starting infecting members of the alliance with his latest artificial virus Ice Oni and gave the antidote to Scratchmen Apoo for safe keeping. However, Apoo was swiftly defeated by the Straw Hats' combatant Roronoa Zoro who then retrieved antidote and gave it to the Straw Hats' doctor Tony Tony Chopper so it could be mass produced and distributed to everyone.Three of the enormous Numbers Jaki, Goki and Juki who were attacking the alliance members on the Live Stage with their monstrous physical strength were all defeated by the the Straw Hats' shipwright Franky, the tag team of Luffy and Zoro, and X Drake respectively. Since his former comrades tried to kill him, Drake decided to lend his aid to the alliance despite some of the members being suspicious of him. The Number Nangi along with several Beast Pirates engaged in battle with an elite squadron of Minks and were ultimately defeated thanks to their opponents' Sulong forms.

Kaidou's fellow Emperor Big Mom was reunited with her son Charlotte Perospero, who is also an officer of the Big Mom Pirates. She stated to her first-born offspring that joining forces with Kaidou was her idea, so Perospero reluctantly accepted her decision. Just as Perospero was about to use one of his candy arrows to kill Marco, the former 1st Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates who was held captive by his mother, he was attacked by the minks Carrot and Wanda and Marco was freed. After which Perospero promptly defeated the two female warriors, while Big Mom rendezvoused with Kaidou.

Yamato, the son of Kaidou who wished to see the end his father's regime over Wano, met Luffy got him to listen to him. Upon getting Luffy's attention Yamato revealed that he is both a great admirer of Oden and and a good friend of the late Portgas D. Ace. After hearing what Yamato had to say Luffy removed the exploding collars from Yamato's wrists that preventing him from leaving the island. The Scabbards fought valiantly on the roof of the Skull Dome, but the samurai ultimately fell before Kaidou's superior might, so, their leader Kin'emon begged Luffy to carry the weight of 20 years of Wano's suffering and defeat Kaidou in their stead, which the Luffy agreed to without hesitation. To the surprise of both Kaidou and Big Mom, Luffy's attack actually did sufficient harm to the Governor-General of the Beasts Pirates and to their anger Luffy once again declared he would be the next Pirate King.

Yamato began helping the alliance by defeating the Number Hatcha and helping Shinobu and Oden's son Kozuki Momonosuke escaping enemy forces. After they found a place to hide and rest for a while Yamato gave Momonosuke his father Oden's journal witch documented his travels with the Whitebeard and Roger Pirates, told him and Shinobu his backstory and how he desires to join the Straw Hat Pirates. Despite being infected by Ice Oni, the former yakuza boss Hyogoro defeated all the members of the Orochi Oniwabanshu and the Mimawarigumi, being cured shortly afterwards by Chopper. Queen's callous sacrifice of their lives and Chopper's benevolence in saving them from Ice Oni caused many of the Waiters and Pleasures of the Beasts Pirates to switch sides, giving the alliance some much-needed support.

Though they landed a few hits and caused some significant damage, Luffy, Zoro, Trafalgar Law, Eustass Kid and Killer realized that Kaidou and Big Mom were too powerful together and their only chance at winning was if they could separate the two, so they disarmed Big Mom of her special Homies and threw her off the roof. Napoleon and Prometheus manage to save Big Mom from falling into the sea, and she returned to the Skull Dome to hunt down her enemies for revenge. Big Mom then created a new special Homie named Hera to replace Zeus because she was tired of his constant failures lately.

Fighting the Tobiroppo
Kanjuro recovered shortly after his previous fight then tormented his former comrades by using his paint powers to create a fake Kozuki Oden, resulting in the death of Ashura Doji, but then Kanjuro was critically injured by Kin'emon. After hearing a certain village, she became fond of was destroyed, a rampaging Big Mom severally wounded two of the Tobiroppo Page One and Ulti, the former being defeated, but Ulti got back up and attacked the Straw Hats' navigator and sniper, Nami, and Usopp and their young companion Tama; however, Nami knocked out Ulti after Zeus permanently fused with her Sorcery Clima-Tact, giving her the extra power that she needed to defeat Ulti. Thanks to the efforts of Nami, Usopp, Speed, Gazelleman, and Daifugo, all the Gifters who ate Tama's special dangos became the child's obedient servants and, on her order, attacked their ex-crewmembers. This act played a key role in turning the tide of the battle in the alliance's favor.The Tobiroppo member and highly skilled former CP9 agent Who's-Who, despite all his strength and ferocity, was ultimately defeated by Jinbe an extremely powerful fish-man, a former Warlord of the Sea and the Straw Hats' new helmsman. The Tobiroppo Sasaki proved to be a worthy adversary for Franky and even managed to heavily damage the durable mech-suit General Franky, but in the end, Franky emerged victorious when he fired a Franky Radical Beam at Sasaki's major weak spot: his large belly.

The Tobiroppo Black Maria underestimated the Straw Hats' archaeologist Nico Robin and it cost her dearly. Robin saw through all of Black Maria's tricks and penetrated her defenses. After using new fighting techniques, she learned from her friends in the Revolutionary Army, Robin eventually wore Black Maria down and finished her opponent off with Grand Jacuzzi Clutch. Brook the Straw Hats' musician did his share by defeating the Number Kunyun, along with the Gifters, Sarahebi, Nure-Onna, and Tenjo-Sagari, and then helped keep CP0 from capturing Robin.

Knowing he could not do anything to help as a child, Momonosuke asked Shinobu to use her power to turn him into an adult. This allowed him to transform into a giant pink dragon so he could fly Luffy back to the battlefield after he was temporally indisposed and then use his new power to create flame clouds to begin the important, long and arduous task of putting an end to Kaidou's sinister plot by preventing Onigashima from landing on the Flower Capital and instead change its course to have it safely land near the city as he moved the flying island with all of his might.

Taking on the All-Stars
Finding difficulty in fighting two All-Stars at once, Marco decided it was about time to let the next generation of pirates take the stage, so he let two Straw Hats take his place while went to protect his other allies. Just when it seemed all hope was lost for Inuarashi and Nekomamushi as they were about to be killed by Jack in his mammoth hybrid form and Perospero with his candy axe respectively, the clouds cleared up due to a Haoshoku clash between Kaidou and Luffy, and the full moon allowed them to transform into their Sulong forms once more, allowing them to simultaneously defeat the All-Star and the Charlotte Family's eldest son. With these victories Inuarashi did a great justice to the Minks that Jack hurt in Mokomo Dukedomand Nekomamushi avenged the death of Pedro on Whole Cake Island caused by Perospero's interference.

Killer dueled Basil Hawkins as revenge for his earlier betrayal, but Hawkins used his Straw Dolls to transfer all damage to Killer's captain Kid which greatly hindered him in his and Law's battle with Big Mom. However, Hawkins made a grave miscalculation, since Kid's left arm was a metal prosthetic it was unfaceted by Hawkins' power, so Killer wound up slicing off his left arm and defeating him.

Queen is a brilliant scientist and a highly capable cybernetically-enhanced warrior with a powerful brachiosaurus Devil Fruit, but he met his match in Sanji the son of a former colleague of his. Wishing to prove himself to be a superior scientist to Sanji's hated father Queen attempted to get the Straw Hats' cook to use his raid suit so he could compare Germa 66's technology with his own. Unfortunately for Queen Sanji destroyed his raid suit after he awakened the same genetic modifications as his super-powered siblings by wearing it multiple times. Throughout their fight Queen irritated Sanji by constantly reminding him of his heritage. Sanji was shocked and even more infuriated when Queen revealed that his cybernetics could mimic the abilities of the raid suits of him and his brothers who he despised so much. After Queen was revealed to be the one to have struck O-Some while he was invisible, Sanji became so enraged that the demented scientist made him doubt himself earlier and decided he had enough of Queen's cruelty and disrespectful behavior. By combining his massively increased strength and speed, new exoskeleton, and Busoshoku Haki, Sanji created a powerful new technique called Ifrit Jambe, and he was able to overwhelm the All-Star and send him flying off Onigashima.

The strongest All-Star and Kaidou's right-hand man King, proved to be a formidable opponent for Zoro due to his fire-controlling abilities, and the immense toughness and vitality provided by his lunarian heritage, plus his Pteranodon Devil Fruit, serrated sword, razor sharp spiked gloves and boots. However, Zoro hung in there and discovered a weakness he could exploit; when the flames on King go down his speed increases exponentially but his durability drastically decreases. With this knowledge Zoro was able to severally injure King and thanks to the properties of the legendary Haki-powered sword Enma and his recently discovered Haoshoku Haki, Zoro was finally able to defeat King with his newly developed King of Hell Three Sword Style and cut off his right wing in the process, causing the All-Star to fall off Onigashima. Meanwhile, the Number Fuga who switched sides because of Yamato's influence helped Yamato incapacitate fellow Number Rokki in order to get to the armory. The reason behind this was because before passing out, Kanjuro painted a fiery creature called Kazenbo that was sent to detonate all the explosives in the Skull Dome's basement. However, this plot was foiled thanks to the interference of Yamato who froze the bombs which reduced the damage enough that Onigashima remained intact.

The Number Zanki was quickly defeated by CP0 when the government agents encountered Drake and Apoo who recovered from his fight from Zoro and defected from the Beast Pirates as he desired to take down whoever won the war. Even though Drake dealt serious damage to a CPO agent he was eventually incapacitated by a Shigan, while Apoo who realized he was no match against the might of two CPO agents and retreated along with the Number Inbi who defected along with the Longarm. Izou, the former 16th Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, and Maha, an elite agent of CP0, engaged in a duel which ended in a double knockout, causing the former's death and causing CP0 to fail at capturing Robin.

The Final Clash with the Emperors
Raizo won his duel against fellow ninja veteran Fukurokuju through his remarkable endurance. Despite being exhausted by the fight, he recruited the help of Jinbe and mustered enough strength to flood Onigashima with water through the power of his scroll-based ability, which prevented the deaths of their allies by extinguishing the fires caused by Kurozumi Orochi, Kazenbo, and King. While he was briefly trapped under a pile of rubble, Orochi was beyond shocked when he learned that the geisha "Komurasaki" he was enamored with for long was in reality his enemy Oden's daughter, Kozuki Hiyori. In a final attempt to take his revenge, Orochi attacked Hiyori, but was stopped by the timely arrival of Denjiro, who sliced off Orochi's last remaining head.

After several lengthy and difficult battles, against all odds, what was thought to be impossible happened; two of the Four Emperors, Kaidou and Big Mom, were defeated by three infamous pirate captains of the Worst Generation, all of whom achieved Devil Fruit awakening. Kid and Law pushed themselves beyond their limits during their battle with the queen of Totto Land. Still, they found a way to exploit the weakness of her Soru Soru no Mi and attacked the ruthless and destructive Big Mom with every ounce of power they had left to send her crashing into the ground with tremendous force.

Luffy chipped away at Kaidou's legendary durability after he became an advanced user of all three forms of Haki and using his newly awakened Devil Fruit powers in creative and unpredictable ways. Despite all of Kaidou's powerful, unrelenting attacks, Luffy was finally able to land a mighty punch with his giant fist, causing Kaidou to fall so hard the collision made a massive crater leading into an underground chamber filled with magma, where both Kaidou and Big Mom's unconscious bodies ended up. This event caused a volcanic eruption where Onigashima once stood, signifying both their defeat and the official end of their era as rulers of the sea.

The following is a list of status updates provided by CP0 with the help of the Mary network.

Aftermath


In the end, the raid was a total victory with Kurozumi Orochi being dethroned and deceased, meanwhile the Beasts Pirates lost all their power in Wano Country because of their leader Kaidou being defeated at the hands Monkey D. Luffy. This caused many of the Beasts Pirates to flee or be imprisoned in Udon and some of them had defected to the alliance's side during the battle either because of Chopper saving them from the biological weapon Ice Oni or because they were tamed by Tama. Also, CP0 agent Guernica also retreated via Geppo so he could report to the World Government everything that happened during the battle. Kaidou's precious New Onigashima Project that he had been working on for decades was now totally in shambles and Onigashima itself had landed near the Flower Capital instead of on top of the city as Kaidou intended thanks to the power of Dr. Vegapunk's Artificial Devil Fruit and Kaidou's once mighty fortress, the Skull Dome was now in ruins. After giving it much thought the rightful heir of Wano, Kozuki Momonosuke decided to postpone opening Wano's borders for the time being. With all enemy forces vanquished, Momonosuke became the new shogun and announced to his subjects that Kaidou and Orochi will no longer terrorize them. After hearing this the people of Wano rejoiced at their regained freedom.

Days later, the children of Wano receive new school teachers who told them the true heroic tales of Kozuki Oden, shrines were planned to be built so that Oden could finally be laid to rest, along with the members of the alliance that gave their lives for the rebellion, including Shimotsuki Yasuie, Ashura Doji and Izou, and everyone in Wano also soon learned of Komurasaki and Kyoshiro's true identities as Kozuki Hiyori and Denjiro. As Luffy asked Momonosuke to not give his name to the people of Wano, due to his humility, everyone in the country came to know him as the warrior Joy Boy and heard about the tale of how he defeated Kaidou with the citizens compering his heroism to Shimotsuki Ryuma and became forever grateful for ending his reign of terror.



Naturally, news of Kaidou and Big Mom's defeat soon spread across the seas; it was then before the banquet to celebrate the alliance's victory that Scratchmen Apoo arrived and showed those present the newspaper, which named the new Emperors of the Sea as well as an update on everyone's new bounties. It was announced to the whole world that "Straw Hat" Luffy and Buggy the "Star Clown" had replaced Big Mom and Kaidou as Emperors. Additionally, Luffy, Trafalgar Law and Eustass Kid had been assigned bounties of 3,000,000,000 each. To the dismay of the Five Elders, Luffy also got a new picture in his wanted poster showing the whole world his awakened form, and the Marines did not receive the order to remove the initial D in his name.
