Raftel

Below.

Ten thousand meters below the seabed.

"Hahaha~ We've finally arrived! The legendary Laugh Tale Raftel Tale!"

After being coated, the Thousand Sunny successfully entered the island that was wrapped in a membrane, just like Fish-Man Island.

Strangely, although they were in the deep sea, thousands of meters below the surface, it was dark as Luffy descended, but the light became bright once they entered the island.

"From today onwards, Luffy, you're officially the 'Pirate King'!"

In this situation, Zoro couldn't resist taking a big gulp of wine.

The past few years seem to have flown by in my eyes. Who could have imagined that the two people who set sail in a small wooden boat back then would actually arrive at the place where ONE PIECE is located?

"Hehehe~ I told you long ago, I'm the one who's going to become the Pirate King!"

Luffy pulled down his hat, revealing his big white teeth.

Now I've reached the pinnacle of piracy, haven't I? Once I'm there, I should be able to fulfill my promise to Shanks!

"Let's not waste time! Let's hurry up and find it! The legendary One Piece, left behind by the Pirate King Gol D. Roger, One Piece!"

Nami could no longer hear anything; her pupils had turned into the shape of gold coins, and she ran towards the center of the island, waving her arms.

"Wait a minute, Nami! This is the Laugh Tale! There might be some traps or mechanisms somewhere!"

Usopp shouted, but when she didn't respond, he could only hurry after her.

After exchanging glances, the group of people also chased after her.

"Why... is there no treasure at all...?"

After running and searching for a while, Nami bent over to rest, panting, her eyes filled with resentment.

"These are... Ancient Script."

At the very center of the island, Brulee touched the towering stone wall, which was covered with writing, as if it were telling the world something important.

A bright light seemed to shimmer between her three eyes as she deciphered the words.

"What are you guys doing here? Don't touch Raftel's treasure!"

Suddenly, an angry voice rang out. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Buggy surrounded by a group of pirates who were covering their faces and crying.

His expression was very serious, unlike any Buggy they had ever seen before.

"Huh? Red Nose, how did you get here!"

Luffy frowned. In his memory, Buggy was still the guy who caused trouble in the East Blue, got beaten up by Luffy, and then caused him trouble in Loguetown.

"My name is Buggy!"

"If that man really left a treasure here, then I, the great one, can only take it all!"

For some reason, Buggy became brave and shouted loudly even though he knew he was no match for him.

"As expected of Captain Buggy —he doesn't even put a pirate with Bounty of 3 billion in his eyes!"

"Captain Buggy is going to become the Pirate King Captain Buggy!"

The pirates behind him were already in tears, cheering for their captain.

They never imagined that someone as insignificant as themselves would one day be able to come to this Laugh Tale and witness the birth of a new "Pirate King"!

"Oh? Then let's fight! There's only one throne for the Pirate King!"

Zoro had already drawn his sword, and his gaze towards Buggy and the others exuded a subtle aura of dominance.

"How terrifying! In a moment of impulsiveness, I accidentally blurted out my innermost thoughts..."

Buggy then realized that he seemed to have done something wrong, and instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

"Boom!"

Caught off guard, a powerful and suffocating Conqueror's Haki suddenly swept across the entire island, and many of Buggy's subordinates behind him foamed at the mouth and collapsed to the ground.

"What... what happened?! Such powerful Conqueror's Haki!"

Zoro, Luffy, and the others all turned their gazes toward the source of the problem, where they saw Brulee swaying and nearly collapsing to her knees.

The stone pillar she had touched earlier began to shimmer as soon as she finished deciphering it, and then a tall white figure floated out from it.

"Hahaha~ Has eight hundred years passed? Then it's time for you to arrive, new Nika."

The white figure laughed incessantly, just like Luffy Gear Fifth.

"Who are you, sir? Is there treasure here?!"

Nami felt like she had seen a savior and rushed towards the white figure with renewed vigor.

"Treasure... So that's how it is! It was that guy named Roger who tricked you into coming here! Hahaha~ What a wicked fellow! It's right under your feet~"

He pointed to Nami's feet as he answered.

"Real?!"

Nami's eyes lit up, and she somehow got hold of a shovel and started digging frantically.

"Kid, you must be Nika? I've been waiting for you for so long! Let me enter your body! Only when we are combined will we be the real Joy Boy!"

"Only in that way can we win that world-shaking war that will save the people of the entire world!"

The white figure looked at Luffy, sensing the same power within him that was once shared by Luffy himself.

He opened his arms, and as he spoke, his figure seemed to become even more blurred.

"No way! I'm Monkey D. Luffy, not Joy Boy!"

Luffy immediately and decisively refused.

He doesn't want to be the next person or become anyone else.

The person he wants to be is the one he is now.

"Just as I thought, hahaha~"

The white-clad figure wasn't surprised; he already knew the answer, but he still wanted to ask.

"Then listen up, you guys alone aren't enough to defeat that bastard. We need to gather all the voices of resistance in the world."

"Also, we need to find Poseidon and Pluton, because Im... is a fusion of the Devil Fruit Tree's consciousness and Uranus!"

The white-clad figure rarely smiled while speaking; his face was serious.

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

Luffy didn't understand anything about Pluton and Poseidon.

"No way? The Uranus is an enemy!"

Only Franky was startled and broke out in a cold sweat.

He had once looked into Pluton, and even inanimate objects were terrifying, let alone living things!

"No wonder... so she is the true form of the Uranus. But what conditions must the Uranus need to launch an attack, or are there any restrictions?"

At this moment, Cifer and the others appeared behind everyone, looking at the figure in the sky and asking questions.

"Hmm... a formidable fellow has arrived?"

The white-clad figure paused for a moment.

Even in his own time, he had never felt such oppression when facing Im.

The last vestige of his soul was on the verge of collapse.

"Looks like I've fought her before!"

"Energy! If there isn't enough energy, we can only use the life essence, and if the Uranus is separated, the distance between him and his original body cannot be too far..."

Seemingly knowing he was about to disappear, he quickly revealed the most important information.

"But... if it were you guys, you might actually succeed! Good luck, hahaha~"

His gaze swept between Luffy and Cifer, and he laughed as he disappeared into the crowd.

"To be able to store a wisp of a soul in advance, is this also the power of technology?"

Uta exclaimed, "In these short days, what I've seen has completely overturned my worldview!"

"This... seems a little different..."

At this moment, Robin walked to another stone pillar and began to decipher the inscription on it.

Then, a beam of light appeared, followed by another powerful Conqueror's Haki.

When this Haki appeared, Buggy, who had been looking dejected, couldn't help but burst into tears:

"Captain Roger..."
