Epilogue

Somewhere in the new world.

A young boy, eleven or twelve in age, was running through the street heading back home.

He was lost in thought as he rapidly ran, the only thought in his head was to call his mom to see the big event happening.

So much, that he didn't see when he almost ran into someone.

"Ah! I'm sorry, uncle,"

There were many people I the way so he kept apologizing as he agilely moved about.

"Tch! Young boys are so rude these days… we all are excited today but this is too much," An old man from the side complained, but the smile on his face and the gentle look in his eyes pointed that he didn't mean what he said.

The old man directed his gaze to the sky.

A huge shadowy form was flying in the sky, and soon it would pass directly above them.

"The flying ship of the god emperor… I have had the honor to see it three times now, I can die without regrets!" He had a satisfied smile on his face.

God emperor? Flying ship?

The young boy kept running until he met his mother halfway and he excitedly pointed at the sky.

"Mom! Mom! Look, look, it's the flying ship!" He happily held her hand and she gently smiled at him and rubbed his head.

"Little rascal, don't run recklessly like that anymore, you could hurt someone." She gently chided him and looked at the sky afterwards in admiration.

The clouds above parted as the flying ship they were looking forward to seeing became visible.

It had such a massive size, it was almost twice the size of their island, and this was an island in the new world, so that says something.

Its figurehead was that of a dragon head. And anyone who saw this flying island ship, knew immediately who it belonged to.

It was the ship of god-emperor Ian. The man who ended the greatest war of the world five years ago. The man who saved the whole world, along with his allies.

He was the one responsible for the world being as peaceful as it is now.

The moment he had won the war, changes started to happen.

The world government was not voided, and instead, it was made to function much better than before. There was no corruptness anymore, as everyone that had a position of power was under a contract of the gods.

Thus, the marines were responsible for keeping justice and order throughout the whole world. The man at the top of it all being Dragon himself.

The red line swiftly after the battle was destroyed naturally after the entity had died. The people who had been transformed into diavoloi lost their memories, and their abilities. And only those who had awakened the devil fruit kept their abilities. But a lot of them joined the side of the marines.

The concept of only pirates being bad was abolished, and those of them only seeking adventure were called adventurers now.

But… even if there was peace, crimes were still only natural.

The gods couldn't control the whole world, and thus there were many criminal groups, and sometimes adventurers took those jobs to dispose of them.

The celestial nobles became prisoners with the worst of them being executed., and any noble known to abuse his powers was sentenced to the same thing.

Overall the whole world had entered a period of rapid growth.

All thanks to Ian and his crew.

**********

Atop the flying ship.

Its size was massive, but there was a castle built right in the middle known as the palace of the crew.

On the third floor of the castle.

Books could be seen everywhere your eye would look. And on the left side, there was someone on a ladder getting a book.

[Keeper of knowledge: Nico Robin]

She was still as beautiful as she was, her long lustrous hair cascading down her back. Her voluptuous form remained as enchanting as a star.

She had become addicted to this library.

The reason being that every record of history, every story that was written, and basically, every book that exists was there.

This was only possible due to finding the ancient kingdom's records, plus adding the books already available in the world.

"Found it!" She softly muttered as she hummed.

The book title read: Joy boy's song.

This was a favourite of hers, and she read it routinely.

She took it and went to sit on a comfortable sofa in her room inside the library. That's right, her room was inside.

It was only two hours later that she was satisfied and laid the book down gently, before stepping outside the library.

"Did he bring them all yet?" She used her Haki and located everyone.

Bert and Akemi were in the place kitchen, meanwhile, her crewmates that were present on the ship were heading to the dining room. Various other people that had relocated into the ship, including the sky people, the minks, were helping around the kitchen, and it was apparent something big was happening.

Not all crewmates were atop the ship.

There was her and Elene, Akemi and Bert, Libell, and lastly Reiju.

Meanwhile, the rest were all doing something.

Ian also stayed on the ship, but he was always busy doing various things around the whole world. From disposing of criminals to blessing various fields for agricultural needs.

Don was also visiting regularly, but he had told them that he belonged on the sea. Since fishmen's island was no longer under the sea, he was only talking about swimming by himself around his brethren.

Nowadays many were following him for tips as his disciples.

Stella was on the straw-hats ship accompanying Zoro who had challenged Mihawk and won.

Meanwhile, Kuzan had become an adventurer and only took on quests to dispose of criminals. Among the criminals, he had earned the title of the White Devil.

But today was special.

Soon just as she had stepped on the deck, which was full of greenery and looked no different from how regular earth would look, various people started to appear and leading them was Ian.

Sengoku, Garp, Dragon, Mihawk, Zoro, Luffy, Shanks, Dragon, Kaido, Rayleigh, Shakky and so on including the rest of the crew had appeared.

Elene soon came up towards them and the crew enjoyed their reunion as they hugged and congratulated Elene, Robin and Ian.

Soon the others also started to congratulate them.

That's right. Elene, Robin and Ian were going to get married.

Ian had a big smile on his face.

"You brat, you have two girls, yet only now did you consider marrying? I was expecting you to knock up one by now…?" Garp slapped his back heavily as he laughed.

Ian was a bit embarrassed but he laughed with him.

"Give me a break old man, there is just too much to do. But I have to give them what they deserve. After all, we would soon be leaving…" Ian responded.

The rest were alert as soon as they heard that.

Once Ian had beat the entity he had further evolved himself by using it and then had reached the very top of this world, and the laws opened to accept him into the universe.

Deep inside he had always been the adventuring type, as such, there was no way he would stop at this point as such he had been quite busy these five years trying to finish everything up so that he and his cremates who were willing to join, could leave.

Well even though he had told this a lot of times they still didn't want Ian to leave, but what can they do?

They could only send him proudly and happily after his big wedding that will last a whole month starting this day.

"Then… We need to make sure you party till you can't stand anymore before you go, Ahahaha" Whitebeard broke the silence with his heavy laughter.

And Ian smiled before turning to look at the sky.

"Let's do it!!"

*****************************

And it's over!

Finally, I can lay at ease after finishing this story. congrats to everyone, and me, We did it.

I would like to thank you all for sticking through this story and me, and even though I know it isn't anything great I really enjoyed writing it. But Time and health came first so around the end of this story, the quality may have dropped, and it might seem like I rushed at the end. I did.

I was barely able to concentrate on writing due to current happenings, which is why I took a leave and decided to only release when I finished it, I did as promised, but I admit it could have been better, regardless, I hope you feel satisfied with this much, as I did the best I could currently.

Once again, I would like to thank all readers, and especially the patrons. You were a big motivation to me, and you helped me build confidence as a first time writer. I hope you'll continue to support me if and when I write a new story. At that time, I promise to do my best to write a much better story!

Farewell everyone.
