----------

Although Joy Boy didn't have D in his name, his beliefs matched perfectly with what the D family believed in.

As time passed, more and more people from the D family gathered around Joy Boy, and his status grew.

Joy Boy knew it would be hard to fully defeat the gods by just using the D family. To beat them, they needed help from thousands of people all over the world.

So the idea of freedom began to spread slowly around the world as Joy Boy traveled.

The non-human races who were most badly treated as slaves by the gods, like giants and fishmen, were deeply moved by Joy Boy's ideas. They joined the fight against the gods' rule.

Because of this, the power that Joy Boy wished to get became known as the freedom fighter "Nika."

With more fighters joining the rebel group, and Devil Fruits showing up more often in the world, they were no longer rare. The gods' hold on the world grew weaker day by day.

The shipbuilders from Water Seven also joined Joy Boy's team after gaining freedom. They built a super battleship to defeat the gods.

That was the first time people saw one of the three ancient weapons - Pluton.

To try to win, the gods also made a super weapon, which was the Ancient Weapon - Uranus.

The fight between these two super weapons almost destroyed the world.

To save lives, Joy Boy, who had become the leader of the D family, asked for help from the Ryugu Kingdom under the sea. By chance, the mermaid princess at that time was Poseidon, who appeared only once every few hundred years and could call many Sea Kings.

So Joy Boy and the mermaid princess made a deal. He would help stop people from treating fishmen badly after they won the war, just like he did for giants, so they could live on land as equals.

In the end, the team with two Ancient Weapons and the D family beat the gods.

And the D clan, who were the first to stand up against the gods and led everyone to victory, were later called the natural enemies of the gods.

After beating the gods, more kingdoms began to appear around the world.

The D family set up a great kingdom in Laugh Tale, and built Noah's Ark to keep their promise to the mermaid princess.

Everything seemed to be going well.

However, among the God Clan that was wiped out, no one knew that a very clever and sneaky person had secretly survived.

After the gods' rule was ended, that person sneaked into the Great Kingdom, and slowly became famous in it. More and more people thought of "Im" as just another person.

World peace lasted less than five years.

The huge ark "Noah" built by everyone working together was also nearly finished.

And then something bad happened.

For five years, Im had been secretly building up power and followers. He got eternal life through an immortality operation, giving him the only way to control Uranus at that time.

With the power to control the battle, Im began to show his plan.

Somehow, the idea that Laugh Tale would become the last kingdom of gods spread around the world. Maybe it was just a rumor at first, but as the great kingdom got big enough to rule the whole world, people started to believe it.

Fear, jealousy, and envy came with rumors that slowly got into people's hearts, especially the scary power that giants had.

And with Im's secret work in the Great Kingdom, things in the Great Kingdom began to change without anyone noticing.

With doubt spreading, Nika's power of the Drum of Liberation didn't work anymore. With the planet around the "sun" being affected by Im, a strange star, the great kingdom began to split from within.

Taking this chance, Im contacted 20 royal families including Alabasta and Dressrosa to form a team to attack the Great Kingdom together.

A huge war broke out that affected the whole world.

The Great Kingdom had troubles both inside and outside. Even with Poseidon and Pluton together, without the help of the Drum of Liberation, the war was almost one-sided.

Knowing that everything couldn't be changed, Joy Boy used ancient letters that not everyone could understand. With help from Wano Country, he created a historical text, telling the story of the Great Kingdom.

The information about the Ancient Weapons, where they were, the truth of real history, and more were all written down. He also wrote a special sorry letter to the Fishmen using the stone tablet.

The Great Kingdom finally began to fall, and the Alliance got the upper hand.

Many places connected to the Great Kingdom were destroyed by the alliance.

After the great war, Wano Country had to cut ties with the world and became closed off. Giants also left from Elbaf for several years because they had become a problem themselves.

At the end of the war, only Alabasta knew that because of Im, the Alliance of Twenty Nations had been formed.

By this time, the other nineteen royal families had been tricked by Im's idea of calling themselves gods, and they all wanted to set up the Celestial Dragons system.

After winning the war, the Alliance tried to create a fake history to hide the truth, but because Alabasta was against this, the making of fake history was limited. This created what's called the "Blank Century" in history.

Eventually Alabasta pulled out, and Im became the real supreme ruler of the Celestial Dragons after taking control of Uranus.

However, Im had learned from those who used to be gods and from Joy Boy.

Although he was still a dictator, he made some rules on the surface and set up the World Government Summit and Five Elders systems, so that the status of Celestial Dragons as gods wouldn't be affected.

He set up a certain system to create a fake democracy to keep the World Government in power.

This system lasted for hundreds of years, until it was revealed by the truth of history in the way written on the current stone.

That is, the story of the D family, and the hundred-year truth that scholars had been trying to uncover.
