West Blue, Ohara:

In Rob's personal section of the art store, Sora gently cradled the baby, who was staring at her with big eyes. Her wide smile indicated her pride.

"As expected from the counterpart of my beloved child~ He can see what Luffy means at a glance…"

"Pfft~ Do you think Sanji could survive in that hellish place for two years?! Just thinking about it makes me pity Sanji…" Toki suppressed her laughter before saying that.

Thinking about it, Sora remembered that Sanji was still in Kamabakka Kingdom, the island of the okama.

Sora hugged her child as if protecting him from a terrifying future, "Don't worry, my little one, I won't let such a horrible future befall you."

"Hahaha!" Seeing this scene, Toki laughed, unable to hold it in any longer.

Sanji was truly the most pitiable of the crew members so far.

The war he fought was no less significant than the Marineford War that Luffy had endured.

…

"What are you thinking, Nami?"

Bell-mère, watching Nami's reaction to Luffy's scene, was confused, as it was impossible for Nami not to grasp the situation.

"It seems she's more concerned about Luffy's condition than the message he's trying to convey," Otohime spoke, pointing to the watery look in Nami's eyes, which reflected her emotional state.

"That's right, Nami is the most familiar with Luffy's nature among the crew." Rob smiled, saying this.

When the author spoke personally, Bell-mère finally understood the heart of the matter.

"It's only natural that she's still worried about him; after all, he's the pillar of the crew. Without him, they wouldn't be able to reunite."

Bella nodded before shifting her gaze to the reactions of the scattered crew members.

…

Fish-Man Island:

"I see… Oh my God, what is that terrifying monster!!!"

Franky was horrified when he saw his deformed counterpart reading the newspaper as if nothing had happened. His reaction was similar to the old man and the young man in the background, who screamed as if they had seen a ghost.

"He actually survived such an explosion… No wonder, he's a cyborg after all," Tom sighed in relief after seeing Franky still alive. But his current appearance made him feel sad because Franky's transformation from a regular human into a cyborg was because of him in the first place.

"Isn't he in a critical state? It's impossible for him to have the strength to react to the newspaper's events… strange." Kokoro said, looking puzzled.

"The power of friendship must be what's keeping him going at this moment."

…

"The Five Elders show their hostility clearly towards our race…"

Fisher Tiger scoffed after seeing the stance of the Five Elders, the highest authority in the World Government, displaying an arrogant and disdainful attitude toward the Fishmen after Jimbei rebelled against them.

"I believe the reason my counterpart accepted being a tool in the hands of these tyrants is solely for the greater good of the Fishmen race… Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to agree."

Jimbei spoke, sharing his belief, as no one would know his counterpart better than himself.

"Then… could the next two years in the manga's timeline be the hardest for our race in many years… isn't that right?" Fisher Tiger sighed after giving this grim prediction.

"After all, Whitebeard, who used to protect Fish-Man Island, is dead, and Jimbei, whose title as a Shichibukai once shielded Fish-Man Island, is no longer one…" Fisher Tiger sighed after saying this ominous forecast.

Hearing this, the young fishmen surrounding them, such as Hatchan, Arlong, and other Fishman street kids, trembled.

"Maybe… but that doesn't mean my counterpart will just sit idly by in the face of such tough times. He'll definitely do something to resolve the situation," replied Jimbei.

[The Everstormy New World]

"My apologies, could you say that one more time? I didn't quite hear."

The magician Basil Hawkins said this, but his attention was focused on the cards in front of him rather than his opponents.

"The name's Brownbeard!! The one and only pirate Brownbeard, with a bounty of over 80 Million Beri!!! You'd better remember that name!! And this is my territory!!!" The pirate known as Brownbeard responded violently.

"I see. Such a ridiculous name, I thought I must have misheard. Let me tell you two things. Firstly, I detest jokes," Hawkins said.

"Jokes!?" Brownbeard was shocked, unable to understand why this man found his great name absurd… If his name was ridiculous, did that mean Whitebeard's name was ridiculous too!?

"And secondly… Today, I see the mark of death upon you." Hawkins drew his weapon, and a wave of killing intent filled the air.

…

[All those proud men who have set foot even once into the New World…]

Ahead lay an island struck by purple lightning without end, leaving the men aboard the pirate ship gaping in shock.

"Are you serious? The log pose is actually pointing to that island…?!!!"

"Don't be ridiculous!!! How are we supposed to land there?!!" Urouge snorted harshly, wanting to tear apart the navigator in frustration.

"It's covered in lightning…!!!" Urouge's crew was amazed… Is this what the New World really means!?

[… Refer to the first half of the Grand Line by the same name.]

"High priest!! Somebody is coming this way!!"

"Who is it…?!"

["That ocean," they say, "was a paradise…"]

An eerie old woman wearing a cloak appeared on the ship that approached Urouge's vessel and said, "Care to buy an umbrella?"

"An umbrella?!!" Did they really need umbrellas to land on this lightning island?

•———•———•———•———•

…

On the Yellow Stone Island in North Blue:

"Pfft! Haha! What's up with that huge guy? Does he think he's Whitebeard's successor?"

Seeing Brownbeard mocking Basil Hawkins with a mere 80 million Beri bounty, Archa-san couldn't suppress her laughter.

Her brother Hawkins still maintained his indifferent expression, "When the lion is absent, the monkey thinks he's king of the jungle… Well, it looks like this Brownbeard will die at the hands of my counterpart."

"The New World… It looks terrifying. What kind of island is this, covered in lightning? What kind of climate is this? It's impossible for humans to live there."

Hawkins' sister covered her mouth in shock as the scene shifted to another Supernova, Urouge.

"This world is full of endless mysteries, and this manga will bring them all to light so that everyone in this world can venture to all corners of the world without hesitation," Hawkins said.

"But I won't be satisfied with just that… I will explore the world and discover all of this for myself, whether it's an island shrouded in lightning or one engulfed in fire… no matter what, I'll step onto them myself. I will surpass my counterpart in the future."

Hawkins' eyes gleamed with a challenging look.

"Then why don't we make a promise? When the day comes for your journey to begin, take me with you…"

…

Sky Island Birka:

Urouge stared at the bright purple light that seemed to shine from the manga page, the source being the lightning enveloping the next island his counterpart was supposed to venture to.

"For the love of God.… what is this strange place?" Just as his manga counterpart was confused, Urouge was equally perplexed.

"What's confusing about it? It's just a harsh climate with some continuous lightning. Isn't your island even stranger? An island floating above the clouds…"

The God of Birka stared at Urouge before sarcastically speaking.

"…" Hearing that, Urouge was left speechless, but he maintained a grim smile on his face.
