The giant island above the Holy Land Mary Geoise seemed to be breaking free from the shackles of darkness as it descended. The fires of Mary Geoise reflected on the island's surface.
A sharp wind howled, chilling everyone's hearts.
"What is that?!"
"Look at the sky! Why is the island falling from the sky?!"
"The island is falling!"
"We're doomed! We're all doomed!"
…
Despair spread like wildfire.
Everyone looked up at the giant island falling from the sky, wanting to escape and take shelter, but they didn't know where to run. The entire Holy Land Mary Geoise was within the island's falling range.
Kizaru, barely escaping the Six-Rod Light Prison, was in a sorry state. He was covered in burns, dragging his body along. He couldn't believe how powerful Ryuya was, and he couldn't believe that the ability called Six-Rod Light Prison could actually prevent his elementalization.
But when he looked at the island falling from the sky, his usual flippant attitude vanished. "Damn it, did that guy do this?!"
The floating island, having lost its charm power, began to fall from the sky, creating intense friction with the air. As its descent accelerated, the entire island transformed into a giant fireball.
He had to stop the island's descent!
Otherwise, his salary for this month would be docked!
For the sake of his salary, Kizaru took a deep breath, crossed his hands, and pinched his index finger and thumb together.
Kizaru's fingertips flashed with light, and countless dazzling light bullets shot towards the falling island.
Each light bullet exploded violently when it hit the island.
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"
The intense explosions caused the island to crumble, spewing out fragments of various sizes.
But these explosions were like a drop in the ocean compared to the entire floating island.
He couldn't do it alone!
Just then, a man wearing a military cap appeared beside Kizaru. "Meteor Volcano!"
It was Akainu!
Akainu's fists, in their magma form, unleashed countless giant magma fists towards the island in the sky!
However, with their current strength, it was still difficult to fight against such a massive island.
On the warship, Ryuya watched the scene unfold, thinking to himself: It's time for me to make a move!
As if to confirm Ryuya's thoughts,
From the deepest part of the Holy Land Mary Geoise, a place called Pangaea Castle.
A sharp slash of sword energy tore through the air.
This slash covered the sky and earth, stretching for a thousand meters!
Wherever the slash passed, a terrifying roar echoed, a terrifying sight!
The sharp, unparalleled slash of sword energy was aimed at the island above everyone's heads.
It suddenly split in two, then four, then eight, constantly changing.
In a blink of an eye, it split into thousands of slashes of sword energy, like a raging hurricane, engulfing the island!
Before this storm of sword energy, the island was like a piece of paper, constantly being shredded.
In a short time, the giant island in the sky had turned to dust, scattering with the wind.
Kizaru and Akainu on the Holy Land Mary Geoise were stunned by what they saw.
They couldn't believe that the island they had struggled so hard to destroy had turned to dust!
On the ship, Ryuya saw the scene unfold, a slight smile playing on his lips.
He extended his hand, stroking Hancock's hair, and said to her, "Looks like our gift didn't arrive today, but I promise you, one day, I'll give them a much bigger 'gift'."
Ryuya continued, "Now, let me take you back to Amazon Lily!"
As Ryuya finished speaking, the system's electronic voice echoed in his mind.
[Ding! Sign-in quest issued: Amazon Lily. Reward: Armament Haki peak! Time: Three days!]
"The Journey Home"
It had been a day since they left the Holy Land Mary Geoise.
The sky was clear, the sun shining brightly.
Combined with the warship's high maneuverability, it was the most relaxing journey Ryuya had ever had.
Leaning against the railing, letting the sea breeze blow against his cloak, Ryuya said, "Are you going to leave?"
Fisher Tiger, standing behind Ryuya, said, "I'm going to go back to Fish-Man Island to check on things."
"Be careful."
Fisher Tiger must have his own plans, so Ryuya didn't try to persuade him, but simply gave him a word of caution.
Fisher Tiger: "If you come to Fish-Man Island, you must come and find me!"
"Yeah."
Feeling the boldness in Fisher Tiger's tone, Ryuya smiled slightly beneath his cloak.
Watching Fisher Tiger jump into the sea and disappear, Ryuya returned to his room.
Night fell, the stars twinkled.
The warship had reached the Calm Belt.
The Calm Belt, so named because it lacks wind, is very dangerous for ships that rely on sails for power.
Not only that, but the Calm Belt is also home to numerous Sea Kings!
Sea Kings are generally judged by their size and length.
A thousand meters is considered average, and any Vice Admiral could defeat one with some time.
Three thousand meters is considered quite strong, requiring multiple Vice Admirals or even an Admiral to defeat!
Five thousand meters or larger are almost impossible to kill without special means.
Their size makes it difficult to penetrate their defenses.
Even Admirals find them troublesome!
Ryuya walked out of his room and saw Hancock standing alone on the deck, looking at the hazy night sky in the distance.
Ryuya walked over to her.
"Missing home?"
"Yeah." Hancock looked up at Ryuya and said, "Ry, Ryuya, don't you miss home?"
For some reason, as she called out Ryuya's name, Hancock felt her face flush.
Fortunately, it was night, otherwise, Hancock thought Ryuya would see her blush.
"I do, I don't."
"Why?"
"Because there's nothing worth missing."
Hancock felt her nose twitch when she heard Ryuya's words.
She raised her hand, gently pulling Ryuya, and said to him, "Ryuya, in the future, let me..."
Before Hancock could finish, a look of alertness flashed in Ryuya's eyes.
He activated the charm's power, pulling the warship into the sky!
The pitch-black sea suddenly churned, creating giant waves...
