North Blue, Flevance Island:

The morning sun cast its golden rays upon the once vibrant white city, now transformed into a serene green oasis.

The air was filled with a palpable sense of joy and relief as the residents of this beautiful city, freed from the clutches of their tragic fate, all embarked on a common journey. Their destination: the legendary art store!

Weekends in Flevance were not about work but about indulging in the pleasures of manga and One Piece.

Inside the bustling main hall of the art store's tavern, Trafalgar D. Chris, the president of the country, sat alongside his pregnant wife, Marry.

They reveled in the anticipation of diving into the first moments of the new arc.

"It seems Luffy and his Nakama are about to embark on a thrilling adventure in the archipelago--- Look, Marry, is that a circular rainbow?" Chris exclaimed, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

A sense of childlike wonder overcame the country's president as he witnessed something he never thought possible—a perfect, round rainbow.

Marry chuckled gently at her husband's infectious enthusiasm. "Hehehe! Look at you, the great leader acting like a child," she teased affectionately.

"I can't help but envy Luffy for his incredible adventures. He has experienced so much and enjoyed himself despite the countless challenges he's faced along the way," Chris mused.

"If only I could pay the price and live through those same experiences, surrounded by amazing friends like his," he added wistfully.

"But my dear, you must become as strong as him first. I won't allow you to exhaust yourself with dangerous training in such treacherous seas..."

"Look at this- Are those serpent currents? It's truly daunting to sail in such waters," Marry cautioned, concerned for her husband's safety.

"One Piece" Events:

—————————

[Several days later]

"We made it."

A massive shadow loomed over the Sunny-Go ship at that very moment.

"We finally made it... this far!!!"

Luffy exclaimed, his jubilation radiating from every fiber of his being.

"It's been so long... The emotions are overwhelming," Nami whispered, her voice filled with deep sentiment.

"That day... It was pouring rain," Sanji reminisced, recalling the fateful day when they had first caught a glimpse of the same view.

"We've come such a long way since then," Zoro reflected, his voice tinged with a mixture of pride and nostalgia.

"I... It took me 50 years... Yohohoho," Brook confessed, his voice carrying a profound sense of longing as he beheld this sight once again after half a century.

"Shishishishishi!! Anyway, we're halfway there!! The twin capes, where we met Laboon, lie on the other side of this sea, connected to this colossal wall!" Luffy laughed heartily before continuing, "I'm grateful that we've made it this far without losing anyone!"

"I can't even see the top...!! This thing is enormous!!!" Chopper gasped, his mouth agape at the sheer magnitude of the Red Line, separating the seas.

"The Red Line!!!"

The crew stood in awe before the formidable presence of the Red Line, its grandeur and mystery captivating their senses. Each member felt a surge of emotions welling up inside them, their journeys and struggles converging at this monumental point.

"I feel like crying... so much has happened!!"

Usopp exclaimed, his voice quivering with a mix of nostalgia and overwhelming sentimentality.

"As far as I can remember, I crossed over Reverse Mountain from the South Blue, but that was over 30 years ago..."

Franky shared a glimpse of his personal history, connecting his past to the present moment.

"Five years ago, I arrived in this sea... from the West Blue..."

Robin added, her words echoing a similar sentiment, highlighting the profound impact of their adventures.

"When I come to this place once again after another turn around the world... at that time... I will be... The Pirate King!!!"

Luffy proclaimed with unwavering determination, his voice resounding with the weight of his dreams.

•———•———•———•———•———•

The significance of their arrival at the Red Line was not lost on Trafalgar D. Chris and his wife, Marry, who continued to immerse themselves in the pages of the manga.

They found themselves sharing the same emotions as the crew, their smiles mirroring the genuine joy that radiated from the characters.

"I think it's a great feeling... I feel the same way after traveling with them all the way here," Chris remarked, his voice filled with admiration and resonance.

Marry nodded in agreement, her eyes gleaming with understanding.

"Indeed, my dear, I feel the same way. They have endured so much and grown immensely throughout their journey."

"They will be able to go to the New World as soon as they pass through this singular barrier."

"Will they be able to pass through it easily... I highly doubt that."

"Yes, as Sengoku said, they are close to the Marine Headquarters."

"After the Enies Lobby incident, it is impossible for them to be allowed to leave peacefully."

"Oh, new characters have appeared... a mermaid!? A starfish!?"

"That means they are close to the Fish-Man Island."

The couple exchanged discussions while continuing to read the manga and witnessing the fast-paced events that seemed to be heading toward another exciting adventure.

...

Fish-Man Island:

Inside the art store, the scene continued to unfold, captivating the attention of the readers.

"I remember this scene too... in the manga, my future self said it happened 30 years ago... but for my present self, it happened just 10 years ago," Little Franky remarked, his eyes wide with a mix of curiosity and nostalgia.

Iceburg, ever the voice of reason, interjected, questioning the validity of Franky's memories. "Do you truly remember, Franky? You were just a toddler in your first or second year back then."

"Tahahaha! One of Franky's notable traits is his strong memory, so I trust his judgment," their teacher Tom chimed in, his laughter warm and comforting.

Tom's words brought a sense of clarity to the conversation.

"But what truly matters now is the flood of memories this moment evokes... they have reached this point—the Red Line... beneath it lies our kingdom, Fish-Man Island," Tom stated, his voice laced with joy.

"They have overcome numerous hardships and obstacles to arrive here," Tom continued, his eyes glistening with admiration for Luffy and his Nakama.

"They had finally arrived at the Red Line once again after enduring countless challenges and hardships along the way. The journey had tested their limits and pushed them to their breaking point, but their unwavering determination had carried them through."
