Sabaody Archipelago.

Located near Marine Headquarters, this archipelago was composed of multiple massive trees—the world’s largest mangroves, the ’Yarukiman Mangrove’.

Because the massive roots were constantly exposed above water, they secreted a special natural resin that formed resilient bubbles from the ground.

These bubbles were incredibly durable, capable of withstanding the immense pressures of the deep sea.

This place—was also a mandatory stop on the journey through the Grand Line.

Pirates entering the Grand Line had to choose one of seven magnetic routes to follow. And here, at Sabaody Archipelago, those seven routes converged.

Beyond Sabaody lay the second half of the Grand Line—the sea ruled by the Four Emperors—the New World!

Thus, this place was also known as the ’Starting Point of the New World’.

Pirates wishing to enter the New World couldn’t choose the ’safe’ route—sailing over the Red Line continent, the domain of the World Government.

They could only depart from Sabaody Archipelago, using the natural resin from the Yarukiman Mangroves to coat their ships, then dive into the deep sea, pass through the underwater Fish-Man Island, and finally emerge in the New World.

Because the seven Grand Line routes all required roughly the same amount of time for a Log Pose to set and travel, the strongest pirate crews from each route all tended to arrive at Sabaody Archipelago around the same time—

—Therefore, this place was also a grand gathering point for all the powerful pirates who had completed their journey through the first half of the Grand Line!

And any rookie pirate, first arriving here after entering the Grand Line, with a bounty exceeding 100 million Beri, was dubbed—a Supernova!

Currently, Sabaody Archipelago was host to nine such Supernovas. This was one of the most chaotic times of the year for the archipelago.

However, being close to Marine HQ and a favored playground for the Celestial Dragons, the Marines’ presence here was substantial. Even Supernovas with bounties over 100 million wouldn’t recklessly cause trouble...

Any pirate capable of completing the first half of the Grand Line wasn’t a fool—antagonizing the Celestial Dragons and Marine HQ here meant they likely wouldn’t even reach the New World, their journey ending in a watery grave.

Thus, the island’s residents were usually not overly concerned by the annual gathering of Supernovas.

But that was usually...

This time was completely different!

"I SEE IT! IT’S SABAODY ARCHIPELAGO!" Nami exclaimed, a bright smile on her face as she looked at the unique island chain in the distance.

"If we pass through here, we’ll reach the New World!" Luffy declared, adjusting his straw hat, a grin befitting his ’Disposition’ spreading across his face.

"The Four Emperors... are there," Sanji murmured, exhaling a puff of smoke.

"Kaido... Big Mom..." Zoro added, a feral grin on his face as he named their upcoming targets.

Topple two Emperors from their thrones—

Zoro’s hand rested on the hilts of his three swords, his eyes flashing with the crimson-black light of Conqueror’s Haki.

Zoro’s three swords had now been replaced with Wado Ichimonji, the black blade Shusui, and Sandai Kitetsu, significantly increasing his strength.

Though Shusui wasn’t a black blade he forged himself, it was still a top-tier sword among the 21 Great Grade Swords—

—A Good blade allowed a swordsman of Zoro’s caliber to maximize their combat potential—especially with his Asura Aura, which could channel a portion of Conqueror’s Haki’s power, a black blade allowed him to unleash even greater destructive force.

"Rowen, I want to go shopping... can I?" Perona blinked her large, doll-like eyes, looking cutely at Rowen and Nami.

During their voyage from the Florian Triangle to Sabaody, Perona had completely integrated into the crew.

On the Merry, Perona had seen past news reports, finally understanding just how scary the crew she had joined.

And she learned what kind of super-powerhouse Sky Sovereign Rowen—truly was!

Two of the three Marine HQ Admirals were defeated by him...

The man who unprecedentedly breached and completely wiped Enies Lobby from the map...

The Super Buster Call, led by Admiral Akainu was completely annihilated by him...

As a former commander of a Warlord’s crew, though Perona spent most of her time in the Florian Triangle and wasn’t up-to-date on world events, she still knew what the World Government, Marine HQ Admirals—and the Buster Call represented!

Even the Four Emperors of the New World had no such terrifying battle record. Calling Rowen the one with the most impressive battle record in the world was no exaggeration.

A new Emperor of the Sea... The World’s Strongest Devil Fruit User... The World’s Most Dangerous Man...

These titles perfectly encapsulated Rowen’s power and influence!

Initially, after learning all this, Perona was actually quite frightened. After all, even the World Government and Marine HQ called him the World’s Most Dangerous Man—

—And having not spent much time with him, though he had granted Moria a new life, he had also destroyed their crew.

As a young woman in her early twenties, fear was a natural instinct...

But as she spent more time with them, Perona realized this crew was nothing like a scary Emperor’s crew—every member was like family.

The ship was filled with constant joy and laughter, often making even Perona laugh uncontrollably.

That man with a bounty over a billion, Monkey D. Luffy, often got beaten up with bumps on his head by Sanji and Nami for stealing food and his general recklessness, even being locked in a cage sometimes.

And this billion-Beri man would just meekly apologize, bruised and swollen...

And the new Emperor himself, Rowen—had no airs at all—often joining in the crew’s antics.

This helped Perona relax and begin to integrate.

Most importantly—

CHOPPER WAS TOO CUTE!

Especially his fur—So fluffy, And he could talk!

Perona, who already loved animal zombies, often wanted to cuddle Chopper. And Chopper—to help Perona better integrate into the crew, could only let Perona torment him.

Perona, due to her Hollow-Hollow Fruit and being raised by Moria on the gloomy Thriller Bark, had a very... unique aesthetic—often dressing Chopper up in ways that made him want to cry...

When Chopper couldn’t take it anymore, he would cry to Rowen, and Perona would obediently stop... for a while...

And Nami and Vivi also loved playing dress-up with Perona.

Dressing up a beautiful thing to make it even more beautiful and cute—was a natural instinct for every girl.

Perona was often grabbed by Nami and Vivi and dressed up in various cute outfits. Though Perona always protested verbally, she actually enjoyed it immensely.

<><><><><><><><>

"Honestly, you should buy more cute clothes for yourself! You’re so cute, Perona," Nami said, pulling Perona into a hug and playfully ruffling her smooth pink hair, laughing happily. freёwebnovel-com

Marine HQ itself was also within the range of Rowen’s enhanced Observation Haki. Many powerful presences were gathered there—Clearly, Marine HQ was already preparing for war with the Whitebeard Pirates.

Marine Headquarters!

CRACKLE!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
