Post-War 1: Tama’s Full Course

Sweetopia; Jades Manor

"AUGUSTIIIIN! AUGUSTIIIIIN!" O-Tama screamed in extreme panic, running around the mansion in nothing but her birthday suit. "Pea-chan hath broken the treaty of peace! She hast robbed O-Tama of her garb during her bathing!!"

Augustus STAMPED Tama's face with his palm, utterly halting her movement while sealing his eyes. "Your robe was filthy and it was falling apart, so I asked Pea's servants to wash and sew it."

"Don't run around like a newborn, you silly dango!" Pea yelled, chasing after her. "Come with me to the dressing room, Tama. I want to fit you in some new clothes."

"O-Tama needs only her robes! She is a disciplined ninja who asks for little!"

"O-Tama," Augustus put his vest over her, the child looking up at the explorer's charming smile, "now that the war is over, I wanna take you on a real adventure. I wanna take you to all tons of amazing places. But you're gonna need the right clothing to survive those places. After all, didn't you love all the amazing foods we ate on the way here? Don't you wanna eat more?"

"Hai, August'n!" Tama's eyes lit up. "O-Tama's eyes water with wonder!"

"Then you should treat clothing just the same. Go with Pea and try all the outfits that suit you."

"HAAAAAAIII!" Tama flew out of the vest and back up the hall, Pea pursuing. "No, Tama, it's this way!"

"Ah, to be a kid not tainted by war." Augustus smiled. …He picked up on the familiar scent of Nel, the cavewoman behind her. "You should change your clothes, too."

"Nel's loins are bathed in Augsus' scent~" Nel brushed herself against him.

Within the next 20 minutes, Pea snapped photos of Tama in all sorts of outfits: the feudal Japanese girl dressed like a hipster in baggy clothes, backwards cap, and sunglasses flashing "peace" signs. She dressed in a sakura petal swimsuit, flippers, and a scuba mask. She dressed in a glittering green gown with high-heels and flowers at the toes. She dressed in cloud pattern pajamas with slippers. She dressed in a male's business suit, frowning like a professional man. She then wore a heavy pink coat and hat with only her eyes peeping through.

Augustus waited on the mansion balcony as Pea and Tama walked out. She wore a light-green sweater with an orange skirt, along with her own orange sandals. "August'n! Is O-Tama ready for yon grander world?!"

"I would say you are! You look totally modern, O-Tam—AAAA!" An enormous hand GRABBED Augustus like a toy, squeezing his breath out.

"I FOUND him, kids!" yelled Sasha, climbing off the mansion's side and dangling Augustus above the Kiddie Corn crowd.

"There he is! GIMME HIM!" Glonno jumped up, but Sasha kept him just out of reach.

"I wanna pway with Augus!" Jonny built a tower, but Sasha stood to her tippy-toes and raised her arm as high as possible.

"You want Augustus, kids?! Well, gooooo aaaaaaand GET 'IM!" Sasha flicked Augustus across the valley. "YAAAAAAHHH!" The kids zoomed after him as if racing for a grand prize.

"AAAAAHHH!" Augustus cried as the horde of multi-racial children gave him his umpteenth pummeling. "Dammit, Sasha! That's SERIOUSLY not fair!"

"Knnn hee hee hee hee!" Sasha snickered mischievously, squatting over the little group. "You know the 'Big Sibling Rule,' if the little ones can't do it, the big kids have to help!"

Boom! Boom! Boom! The ground began shaking, Sasha looking forward with a panicked expression. The Kiddie Corn saw the incoming monster, crying and fleeing off Augustus. "W-What the… A KREMLING?!" Sasha exclaimed.

"Ahhh, right on time!" Augustus smirked, standing up. "Brats: meet my secret crewmate. Kullin Lumsy!"

Stewie, Rallo, and Maggie were riding the shoulders of a massive, big-bellied Kremling with an innocent smile. "Hewwo, Cabain! Is all the scary fighting over?"

"AAAAAAAAHHHH!" Tama's scream made Lumsy flinch. "What great titan doth stomp our way?!" The ninja ran up and began bashing his toes with her staff. "Back! Stay back, foul beast!"

"Waaaahh!" Lumsy backed away as though the tiny ninja were a terrifying monster, curling up in fear. "I-Is wittle human mad at K. Lumsy?"

"No, Tama, it's okay!" Augustus restrained her. "This is Klumsy, one of my crewmen. He was too afraid to fight the war, so we let him stay home. I asked the babies to bring him to meet you all. Lumsy, this is Tama, one of my new friends."

"New… fwiend?" Lumsy looked at her shyly.

"Ooooohhhh! August'n dost befriend such enormous reptile?" The ninja bowed and said, "O-Tama offers her sincere apologies for harming comrade."

"Wad is she saying?"

"She's saying she likes you and wants to be friends." August replied. "Pick her up and give her a view."

"Oh…okay." Klumsy nervously held his hand down. With a wide gape, Tama jumped onto the hand. Klumsy stood to full height and raised his hand while rotating.

"WOOOOOOOW!" Her voice echoed across the whole valley. "O-Tama feels as if she hast grown bigger than the world! 'Tis different from riding plane!"

"Kid really don't get out much." Sasha remarked. "Which reminds me… Augustus… when're you gonna take her back to Historia? Wasn't she, like… illegally kidnapped or something?"

"She also ate a Devil Fruit," Rallo replied, "so they'll either deem her a witch and kill her, or she'll poison their entire ecosystem."

"Well, we went to all the trouble of bringing her to help me," August said, "so I think we owe her an adventure. YO TAMA, get down here!"

"Hai!" Tama jumped her way down Lumsy's body and rejoined her captain.

Augustus withdrew a paper from his vest pocket and held it down to her. It had a list of eight items: Hors d'oeuvre, Soup, Fish, Meat, Main, Salad, Dessert, and Drink. "Ohhhh…" Tama's young eyes lit with wonder… before she proclaimed, "O-Tama canst not read!"

"Among many exciting occupations in our universe, there are Gourmet Hunters. Some hunters only focus on specific foods, like how I once focused on candy, but I long decided to open my tastebuds to the grander menu. A Gourmet Hunter's ambition in life is to complete their own Full Course Menu of ingredients and foods they can acquire with their own power. Even the Big Mom Pirates live by this law: one can only attain a Commander or General position by completing a Full Course. In the process, naturally, their own strength or skills will develop. That's why it's ideal to hunt ingredients in dangerous areas."

"Yeah, but that ain't the best part." Sasha replied. "When we bring the ingredients back, our talented chefs and scientists study their components, then ask our specialized 'foodbenders' to recreate them. It ain't the same as stealing from the source, but with that system, our officers can enjoy the entire Full Course every month. This also keeps our officers from suffering hunger pangs like me or most others."

"'Foodbenders'?" Stewie repeated. "How ridiculous."

"They're actually normal benders who train to mold the respective chi inside food. Here, have a look at mine." Sasha held up a giant list.

Hors d'oeuvre: Mashed Sweikah Potato, Hyrule

Soup: Gold Stew Falls, Aquaria

Dessert: Chocolate Mountain with Snow Cream, Glacia

Drink: Bubblaine Sparkle Water, Mushroom

"As you can see, it's far from complete."

"Mine is no different." Augustus read from his list.

Hors d'oeuvre: Galactic Corn, Florae Galaxy

Fish: Great Marlin, Earth

Dessert: Sea-salt Ice Cream Cake, Aquaria

Drink: Everbubble Fizz, Earth

"Of course, when it came to Big Mom, her only Full Course were the Eight Wonders. The rest of us had more refined tastes."

"Like me!" Pea showed them her list.

Hors d'oeuvre: War Pea Taco, Flora

Soup: Cream of Quicksand Chicken, Secco

Fish: Great Fairy Fish, Hyrule

Meat: Stone Mammoth, Kateenia

Main: Ivory Castle Tomtoro Burger, Avalar

Salad: Great Deku Tree Cabbage, Hyrule

Dessert: Nopon Saliva Pudding, Mira

Drink: Moon's Tear, Lunaria

"Then it's settled." August clapped. "We're serving Tama Pea's Full Course Menu."

"Gladly!" Pea nodded. "Shall I call up the chefs to see if we still have the ingredients?"

"Nope! We're doing this the right way: we're going to fly to all these places and collect the ingredients ourselves. So Tama, you ready for an adventure?"

"HAAAIIIII!"

Flora; War Woods

The trees in this wood took the form of all sorts of guns, continuously shooting peas at bullet speed. "About 50 will do!" Pea yelled, ducking. "They're the most ripe when they shoot out of the gun!"

"Got it!" Augustus twirled a taco shell with dressing in hand. He expertly held it around to catch the peas until enough of them filled the taco. "Have a sample, Tama~" He got down to be safe from the gunfire, alongside his companion.

Tama sank her teeth in the taco. "Mmmmm! O-Tama feels her mouth pounding with the drums of war!"

Augustus took a bite. Indeed, he could feel parts of his mouth thumping with the rhythm of gunfire, igniting his mouth and getting it excited for the rest of the course. "Aye, I can't even wait to travel to the next one! But we'd better fix up another one!" He quickly caught another taco's worth of peas. Augustus would quickly make his way to Stewie and throw it in his portable Chrono Chamber, a microwave-like device designed to Stop objects from aging.

Secco; Quicksand Creamland

In a farm-like region of Secco, the crew would watch curiously, safe on a fenced ledge, as chickens swam around a vast lake of quicksand that smelled like soup. "The chickens here constantly lay eggs inside this creamy sand." Pea explained. "Some of them hatch, some of them get boiled and become part of the soup."

"Klumsy, scoop us up a big bowl!" Augustus ordered.

"Aye-aye, Cabain!" Lumsy carefully bent down and dipped a giant bowl into the quicksand. He brought it up and placed it beside his friends. "Here, Dama." He held a hand down for the ninja to climb on, holding her level with the soup.

She carefully crouched and stuck her mouth in. Again, her eyes watered as her mouth enjoyed another magical sensation. It tasted like the yolk of a dozen eggs, all cracking and melting on her tongue. "August'n, dost O-Tama's mouth appear odd?" She stuck out her tongue, coated in yolk like gold.

"Nope! It's a perfectly natural color!" replied Pea.

"Uh, sure…" Stewie replied.

Hyrule, Spirit Island

Tama sat in Augustus's lap as both held a large fishing rod. The sky was partly cloudy and the seas were peaceful. They had been patient for 20 minutes until they felt a bite on the rod. "Looks like you've finally caught a Fairy Fish." Stewie reported, using an underwater telescope. A sparkling pink fish was viciously tugging the hook. "Only time will tell if the big one will take the bait."

They wrestled with the Fairy Fish for another 40 minutes, maintaining constant focus, not letting the fish get too close or too far. Of course, Augustus handled most of this work while Tama felt herself grow sleepy under the gentle sea breeze. It was pure silence and calm, their muscles growing ever more relaxed. Even Augustus nearly succumbed to this feeling while wrestling with the fish.

"WAAAAH HA HA HA!"

An ear-splitting screech jolted their senses—a huge pink fish with three strands of flowing magenta hair ate the Fairy Fish and was now wrestling with the fishing hook. "La…la la…la la la…la la la…" The fish hummed a pleasant tune as it zoomed around the sea, trying to win against its opponents. Tama and Augustus worked together, pulling on the rod, and Stewie applied his Hulk strength to help them. The fish was splashing the surface of the water, still incredibly stubborn. It took about an extra 10 minutes until one terrific pull was able to bring the Great Fairy up on their shore! "Uh hu hu hu hu…" the fairy chuckled.

"Damn, her face is creepy." Rallo remarked.

"I just hope it's good tasting." Stewie said, using his shrink ray to minimize the fish. "I'd rather save it for the meal instead of waiting to catch another one."

"O-Tama agrees. It is rare enough to see such pure fish in pure water!"

"And since we're on Hyrule," August replied, "we might as well collect that Deku Cabbage."

Korok Forest

"Snoooore…shoooo…snoooore…shoooo…"

The wooden mustache of the giant tree fluttered from his echoing snores. "So, Pea, how do we get cabbage from him?"

"You have to wound him so his Koroks place a Cabbage Patch on him. The patch will get soaked with his bleeding sap. Then it'll taste delicious!"

"Fair enough. Maggie, fill him with lead."

"Mw-mw." The baby gunner blasted a spot on the bark with a machinegun.

"AAAAAAAAHHH!" The Deku Tree cried as that spot leaked sap. Some Koroks quickly climbed up to stick the Cabbage Patch in question. "Ahh…phew. I swear, when I find the Korok who dropped the information regarding my luscious sap, I'm going to whip them a new one."

"!" A small Korok with a little leaf face toddled away.

Kateenia; Beast Valley

Beast Valley was a vast grassland of the most tremendous animals on Kateenia… except they were about as big as any Earth animal. However, the Stone Mammoth was twice the size of an elephant, completely invincible in its natural stone armor. Augustus charged it from the right, throwing Haki punches at its armored leg. Though he barely left a dent, the mammoth tried to turn toward and swat him away with its trunk. However, Nel dashed up from behind and clambered up its back leg with cavegirl agility, clinging onto the belly where its armor was softest. She kicked repeatedly until the armor broke off.

Augustus then ran underneath and tossed his spinning Gobstopper up at the stomach, twisting and ripping it as the mammoth cried in pain. Nel kept kicking the beast's soft belly until it fell, shaking the valley. "There!" Pea beamed. "Now all we have to do is cut off a piece of its outer layer. It'll self-heal after some time and the little guy can go free!"

"O-Tama thanks thee for thine sustenance." Tama patted the edge of the gaping trunk. "Please get better soon."

Avalar; Ivory Castle

The pirates explored an island of ruins near the Ni no Kuni continent. They crossed a very long bridge suspended above a vast canyon, leading to a castle built atop a central pillar. The Ivory Castle had lost much of its sheen over the ages, yet still possessed an air of elegance. "So, this is what your ship was modeled after." Augustus said.

"Mm-hm! This place was just so beautiful, and I never imagined a burger tasting so good from such a small creature."

Within the vast, empty, winding halls of the castle wandered only a single creature: a Tomtoro. It was a small, pudgy rabbit-like creature with confused eyes and a magic staff. Upon spotting the invaders, it ran. Nel used her great speed to chase, catching up to the Tomtoro, but it cast a spell to instantly knock her out with a punch-like force. Because it slowed down, Rallo blasted soundwaves to hurt its ears, then Augustus threw his Gobstopper to KO it completely. "I guess it's much easier to have a team with you." Pea figured. "It took me ages to catch that the first time."

Mira; the Bionis

"Woooooowww!" As the crew entered Mira's atmosphere, Tama found herself gaping at the sight of two titans of continental size, completely stiff as they appeared to have been locked in a battle.

"Those are the Bionis and Mechonis." Augustus explained. "Legend says they used to be living entities that killed each other at the same time. All kinds of life developed on their bodies. Of course, they ain't the only Titans in this world. (And no, they ain't like the Mutant Titans.)"

"We should come up with a different term for them." Rallo said.

They landed along a cliffside of the Bionis, and K. Lumsy's imposing form frightened the local wildlife as they traversed the land. Riding the head of the Kremling, Tama had the most amazing view of the alien world. From this angle, it was difficult to tell they were walking on an enormous humanoid entity, though the sight of the Mechonis' eye glaring from the distance was worrying.

"Hah, look! There's a Nopon right now!" Augustus pointed at a round, furry, impish creature collecting water from a river. It had four arms, two of which were small, and two others that could be mistaken for long ears.

The orange Nopon dipped a bowl into the river using its longer arms, taking a drink. "Ahh, Riki does enjoy a refreshing drink to re-salivate his tongue."

"GOT 'IM!" Augustus jumped and grabbed the squirming Nopon, squeezing his mouth to make saliva drip into a cup Stewie was holding. The saliva was of a white, gooey texture. "And once we mix that in chocolate, it'll taste like a dream!" Pea beamed.

"'EY! What're you doin' with Riki?!" The group looked over, seeing two young men wielding mechanical swords. The buffer one had red hair while the skinnier one had blonde hair.

"Shulk, I think it's more of them bloody pirates!" the buff one said.

"Brilliant. We have to pay them back for kidnapping the Entia!" Shulk's sword grew a blue laser as they charged.

"Damn, I knew I shoulda bought a new sword." Augustus said. He used Haki to grab the beam of Shulk's sword, but found himself forced back by the boy's strength. Augustus tossed his spinning Gobstopper, but the sword's beam turned green as it projected a shield around Shulk. Stewie became a Hulk and threw rapid-punches at Reyn, the swordsman enduring as he stabbed at Stewie's gut. "Ugh, you guys ain't worth our time! Everyone aboard the Klumsy!"

K. Lumsy scooped his friends up in hand and bolted up the cliffside. Shulk and Reyn tried to chase after, but the distance was steadily widening. "AND DON'T EVER COME BACK!" Reyn yelled.

"Honestly," Riki said, "if visitors wanted Riki's saliva, they just needed to ask."

Lunaria

One of Pea's masks was of a Lunarian, and this allowed them to sail through the Lunar Field and reach the planet. "'Tis a planet bathed in eternal night?" Tama asked, already in awe as she freely jumped the surface of the low-gravity planet. "How canst people be aware of time or establish slumber hours?"

"They choose the sleeping hours, I guess." Augustus shrugged.

They journeyed up a humongous, volcano-shaped fountain with multiple rivers flowing down. A single, small moon hovered 50 feet above the center of the watery crater. Lumsy backstroked along the water with a glass balancing on his belly. Augustus dove to the very bottom of the lake and swam straight up, shooting out like a dolphin. The low gravity allowed him to fly up to the hanging moon and punch it, causing it to cry a large tear. The tear splashed into the glass and filled it completely, glowing mystically.

Sweetopia

"Bon appétit… mi niño~" Augustus spoke charmingly as all eight items were splayed on the table.

The joy on O-Tama's features warmed their hearts. She felt the War Peas gunning the inside of her cheeks. The Cream of Quicksand Chicken turned her tongue into a silky, shiny gold, but the glittery meat of the Great Fairy made her tongue shine like a rare treasure. The soft meat of the Stone Mammoth was relaxing on her jaws, so rich and juicy despite its origin, but it couldn't compare to the meat of the Tomtoro. As ignorant as she was to alien foods, even Tama could taste the pure rarity of the Tomtoro Burger, a taste that few may get to know. With such an overwhelming taste, it was time to ease her buds: the Deku Tree Salad's sap filled her tongue, cleansing it of its exhaust. To reward herself, the chocolate pudding with Nopon saliva at the core made her tongue happy again, proud of itself for enduring such a meal. And so, the Moon's Tear totally purified her mouth like toothpaste, as if it was never filled, yet her heavy stomach could say differently.

"Ahhhhh…" Augustus carried the heavy, peaceful child to a bed, lying her down. "August'n… O-Tama… thanks thee… O-Tama hast never known such beauties could exist… in food… or yonder universe…"

Augustus got to his knees and patted her head. "There are a lot of things people disagree on… but everyone should agree food is amazing. Even the same meals you eat every day could put a smile on your face."

"This entire adventure contradicts that statement." Stewie said.

"August'n… wouldst it be impossible to send a letter to Ojīsan?"

"Your grandpa? Do you wanna go home?"

"No. O-Tama wishes to tell Ojīsan… that she is okay. That O-Tama hast never been happier. She knows he will be upset… but O-Tama wishes to remain with August'n. There are too many things O-Tama dost not know… and wishes to see."

"Hm hm hm…If that's really what you wish. Even if I wanted to send you back home, your mind is too adapt to the outside universe. You'll evolve into a 'modern' girl before long. …And if that happens, no one will suspect you're a Historian who's illegally traveling with us."

"Good thing we paid Slag to kidnap her." Stewie said.

"But hey, maybe all those foods can complete your own Full Course, Cap'n." Rallo said.

"Actually, we're not allowed to share the same items." Pea replied.

"Aye. That's why, some day, I'm going to complete my own Full Course." Augustus said confidently. "And I hope you'll all get to taste it. Still, this has me wondering… That 'Gourmerry' thing… I wonder what kind of meal she would eat?"

Earth; Adabat Island

A blissful twilight covered the seaside village of Adabat. The Jackson Family and Asahina Family were served seafood at the outdoor restaurant, Flying Fish Wing. Melody and her mother sat across from Yuta, his father Cojero, his older sister Aoi, and their mom Norami. "We barely managed to escape town in time before that giant hand ripped it out of the ground." Norami said with a horrified expression. "Just the sight of those atrocious fingernails was so… terrible."

"Yeah, Jataro doesn't clip much." Yuta remarked.

"And we've been hiding in my hometown ever since." Cojero said. "Sigh, it's been an awful two years. Wondering if our son was even alive… Oh, I'm sorry."

"Don't worry." Eva replied, sipping some pineapple juice. "Between Kade and Danny… the fact is, my own losses are miniscule compared to a worse outcome. At least… that's what I try to tell myself. Even though it never feels true. But right now, Melody's my last shred of hope in this world."

"You don't need to worry, Mom." Melody smiled. "I won't let anything happen to us."

"And you can always call us if you need anything." Aoi assured. "I owe you everything for bringing my little Yuta back home!" She squeezed her brother in a hug, pressing her chest to him.

"A-Aoi, please! Not so tight!…"

"Pardon me for asking," Cojero said, "but… will you continue serving the KND, Melody?"

Melody glanced away, thinking for a bit. "Part of me wants to quit… but another part of me wants to stay. To make sure as few people get hurt as possible. Besides, with other operatives quitting… it makes me worried. …But I would like Yuta to join our sector."

"R…Really?"

"Yeah. You've proven to be a very reliable teammate. Even if you are annoying. And it… feels nice having another waterbender to work in unison with… again."

Yuta frowned at that last word. "…Then… it'll be an honor to continue serving you." He managed a smile. "And I promise, for Eric's sake… I'll keep my distance." He nervously glanced to a roof.

Eric appeared to be watching the dinner through a sniper rifle. Beside him, Klubba the Kremling was patting his spiked club against his palm, ready to knock some heads in, in case they get flirty.

"Anyhow, it was wonderful to see you again, Eva." Cojero said. "And I'm glad that our son could be such a great help to you."

"Come to think of it, you never actually met Manaphy back then, did you?" Eva asked.

"Eva!" The merman prince himself splashed onto the pier. "That fish was delish! Mana want more!"

"Sure, Manaphy! There's plenty more!" Cojero beamed.

"Awesome-awesome! PHYYYY!" On an impulse, he used Heart Swap between Eva and Yuta.

When the light wore down, they stared at their selves in panic: "AAAAAHH! Manaphy, you need to stop doing that!" Eva yelled in Yuta's body.

"Wuuuhh… this feels so trippy." Yuta felt Eva's chest and stared at his wavy, watery hands. "Is this what being a Logia feels like? I can't even…whoa!" He tried to stand, but splashed onto the deck.

"Hey, you spilled out of my clothes!" Eva yelled. "Put them on, quick!"

"I thought they changed automatically!"

"That's it, Manaphy, no seconds for you!" Melody yelled.

Eric and Klubba continued to watch as Yuta struggled to reform Eva's body. The nerd pretended to "smoke" a candycane, not letting his focus through the scope falter.

London, England

Behold the sweetfish river running through my beloved hometown.

You who seek the Golden Land, follow its path downstream in search of the key.

As you travel down it, you will see a village.

In that village, look for the shore the two will tell you of.

There sleeps the key to the Golden Land.

"I'm telling you, there are no sweetfish rivers in London!" Goombella yelled. The Story Pirates were walking along a sidewalk over the River Thames, about to pass the great bridge with twin towers.

"Maybe she's not talking about literal sweetfish." Nagisa figured, staring at the riddle on a paper. "Maybe there's a hidden meaning."

"Man, this is stupid!" Killua complained. "Why can't she just tell us where her damn hideout is?"

"No one asked you to come along." Morgiana said. "You just reunited with Gon, now you're ditching him for us?"

"Gon pissed me off. He said that a man in a question-mark suit told him not to come out until we 'rescued all the Hyrulean prisoners.' Take a guess who that was…"

"Maybe there's a clue on the towers of that bridge…hm?" Goombella cocked a brow. As they were about to pass the bridge's gate, she noticed a rather large graffiti drawing on the base of a tower under the bridge. "Who would go to that much trouble to leave graffiti down there?"

"Hm?" Nagisa curiously looked that direction. …He squinted his eyes. "Is that… a design of a fish?"

Figuring that was their best clue, Nagisa, Goombella, and Killua rode the latter's hoverboard across the river, studying the fish design up close. The fish appeared to be smiling and presenting a present to some children. It was a very sweet thing for a fish to do. "Look at the fish's body." Killua pointed. "It almost looks like… a map. It starts from a shore somewhere and heads out to sea."

"Let's get a picture." Goombella suggested, Nagisa snapping one on his phone. "Now, look up any shores that have that design."

They returned to Morgiana to explain their findings, showing her the map as Nagisa looked up similar designs. "Aha…this shore is south of Tokyo. And the map leads into the Izu archipelago!"

"Then why couldn't Index have started us there?! Unless she meant to say Nagisa's hometown."

"Either way, I think this is a sign we're on the right track. Let's start from that shore and follow the path. We're going to celebrate with Index!"

So, here’s a little info regarding the gameplay aspect of this story: that Party Town area from the ending would appear on Hyrule’s map after the player reloads the game. The player could freely explore the party with any character and talk to the Pirate Commanders to receive Bonus Missions. By completing those missions, we unlock these Bonus Stories. The Wikia will provide more info on these missions, but for now, enjoy the Post-War~
