Las Noches Side Story (1)

More than a month has passed since the upheaval caused by the transition between the old and new eras.

The world-famous Little Ul once again disappeared from public view, sailing freely on the seas and suppressing the villains of the world.

In just over a month, the New World Government was established, and the entire ocean began to calm down.

"Cifer ~ I want to hold a concert ~"

On the deck, Uta was half-squatting next to a beach chair, holding Cifer's arm and shaking it, trying to get him to use his influence to put on a bigger show.

"Go ahead and open it if you want. Didn't you do a good job last time? Even though you almost destroyed half the world."

Cifer lifted his sunglasses, his dark green eyes meeting hers as she blushed, and began to tease her.

"What? That's because I hadn't met you guys before!"

Uta pouted in dissatisfaction, but her tone suddenly became much more dejected.

"Don't be afraid, Little Uta! Cifer is just being stubborn! In a moment, we'll use our status as executives of Las Noches to have someone prepare the grandest concert ever for you!"

"If he dares to object, Captain Bonney's fists are not to be trifled with!"

Bonney stood on the bow of the ship, spouting arrogant words in the body of a little kid.

"Bonney is so cool~"

As a fellow loli, Joni's eyes shone with golden adoration, and she had long regarded the other as her idol.

"Stop bragging. You're just taking advantage of the fact that Cifer doesn't like bullying kids."

Standing on the lookout tower, Lucci mercilessly exposed his lie, adding a disdainful look to the side.

"You damned Lucci, do you want to fight?!"

"Come on, come on!"

The two men, on the verge of exchanging blows, shouted at each other and charged toward one another.

"Those two brats are making so much noise, can't they let the God get a good night's sleep?"

As Enel's massive fists slammed down on their sides, the two men slept peacefully with large bumps on their heads.

"Just kidding. If you want to, go ahead and joke, but we'll have to wait until we finish some things first."

Cifer scratched his head, got up, and stretched.

"What is it this time that you want the God to help you with?"

As Cifer walked toward him, Enel lay down on the deck and yawned.

"It's nothing. Now that the pirates don't dare to show their faces anymore, our journey should continue. What do you say?"

"That's all? Aren't we on a trip together?"

Cifer's words left Enel somewhat confused.

Although they are suppressing the world, they have not given up freedom for it.

"What? Didn't you want to go up and see the whole place? The Infinite Land you once longed for!"

Cifer raised a finger and pointed it towards the azure sky.

He was also very curious about what the Infinite Land of this world was like, and whether it was really necessary to breathe in space.

"Yay! Hahaha! I almost forgot about the God if you hadn't mentioned them!"

Has Enel forgotten?

He hadn't forgotten, but the yearning for the Infinite Land in his heart was no longer there.

But since Cifer has brought it up now, I naturally have to go and see what that place, which I had longed for for so many years, is really like.

"Infinite Land... does that really exist?!"

Even Xiong's usually calm face showed a rare look of surprise.

He mentioned that place in the stories he once told Bonney, but he always thought it was just a fiction.

"Whether it really exists or not, we'll find out once we see it for ourselves!"

Nolan flicked his finger, and the Little Ul began to take off, slowly flying towards the vast sky.

"So high and so far away! We can hardly see the sea anymore!"

Joni and Bonney lay on the bow of the boat, looking down at the receding sea, reaching out to touch the clouds, their eyes sparkling.

"Yay~ Hahaha~ We've only just begun! Don't get scared, kids!"

Even though it was daytime, the moon's outline seemed to grow larger and larger in their eyes, and the surrounding environment began to darken slowly.

Enel gazed at the place of his past dreams, which seemed so close yet so near, and his throat bobbed, his eyes filled with anticipation.

"Captain Cifer, look! It's so beautiful!"

While most people's attention was drawn to the ever-approaching moon, a casual glance at Nolan below left them mesmerized.

She hurriedly pulled Cifer's hand to the side of the ship and pointed down at the blue planet.

"I never imagined I'd have the chance to see the whole world with my own eyes like this!"

Robin also came to their side carrying Chopper, their eyes filled with the colors of the planet, shining like jewels.

"Yay! Hahaha! As expected of a world saved by the God, it's really great!"

Enel, who dedicated his life to being a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur), was overjoyed but still continued to utter his God pronouncements.

The rest of their companions also began to lie on the edge of the ship, marveling at the beauty of the world.

"Enel, it seems you have quite a few enemies on your Infinite Land?"

At this moment, the Little Ul was about to reach the lunar surface when it suddenly spoke, drawing everyone's attention back.

The surface of the moon is not as flat as it appears from a distance; instead, it is filled with deep craters.

With their powerful Observation Haki, they could also sense signs of life several kilometers away.

"Ignore them for now and see what these are."

Enel was the first to leap off the ship, landing in a deep pit where he pulled out several small bodies.

It has a beard and looks like some kind of anthropomorphic animal, similar to Chopper, but it seems to have stopped breathing.

"Huh? Is it a wounded patient?"

Chopper quickly picked up his little backpack and went to their side, only to find that they seemed a little different from what he had imagined.

"It looks like a robot... Could it be out of power?"

Xiong Wei squatted down. Having almost been transformed into a weapon himself, he keenly noticed some similarities between the little creatures in front of him and himself.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Enel.

"Divine Judgment!"

The latter's fingers unleashed a burst of dazzling lightning, which struck the group directly.

"He's alive!"

Then, just as expected, they all stood up one by one.

"I am deeply grateful for your immense kindness!"

After looking around at the Western Zhou Dynasty, their gazes locked onto Enel, and they all stepped forward and bowed deeply to him.

"Yay~ Hahahaha~ Are you inhabitants of the Infinite Land? This place will be the territory of the God from now on, so it's only natural that the God would bless their people!"

Enel put his hands on his hips and burst into genuine laughter.
