Last Island

"That's the power of the Uranus!"

Page One exclaimed in amazement, "That's incredible! It's completely different from before!"

"Without a doubt, Uranus is now a genuine Ancient Weapon."

Sirius was also pleased.

After Shinobu's final push to ripen the creature, the Uranus finally crossed the last two years and entered a period of complete maturity.

Then, just as everyone expected, strength, physique, size, ability—every aspect underwent a leap in evolution.

He is now a true Ancient Weapon!

Its power was astonishing.

"In that case, only Aquaman remains."

On the Sirius, still floating in the sky, the Red-Haired said earnestly, "Sirius, you must know about Aquaman's affairs, right?"

Sirius nodded slightly.

Isn't that obvious?

Princess Shirahoshi and Yamato are still good friends, Yamato still wants to fulfill the promise she made to the mermaid Mermaid Princess and Fish-Man Island in place of Joy Boy.

"Aquaman's power should not have been fully Awakening yet,"

The Red-Haired said, "In that case, there's no way to retrieve Pluton from the seabed—"

Although the Uranus has matured, the other two Ancient Weapon still seem to have some problems.

"Don't worry about Pluton," Sirius waved his hand.

Red-Haired was somewhat surprised. What did he mean by "Pluton needn't be worried"?

While Aquaman can control all Sea King, in a direct confrontation, wouldn't Pluton, with his invincible firepower, be far more powerful?

So, Sirius actually had a backup plan?

"Alright, then, Sirius," the Red-Haired readily agreed. Since Sirius said to ignore Pluton, he really meant it. "Pluton, what are you planning to do?"

"We can't go to Fish-Man Island right now; it's too obvious a target."

Sirius said, "Send Dragon to him; he should have many Fish-Man under his command. Tell Neptune that what they have been waiting for has arrived."

"As for whether Aquaman will join the war, let's leave that to fate."

The Fish-Man and mermaids of Fish-Man Island have been waiting for Joy Boy to fulfill his promise from years ago.

Whoever Joy Boy of this era may be, Sirius believes that the time to fulfill the promise is approaching.

The Fish-Man have the right to know, and whether or not they are prepared to do something is their own business.

To be honest, Sirius didn't expect Shirahoshi, who was only fourteen years old, to go to the battlefield.

The Red-Haired nodded.

That's for sure; after all, you can't force others to join a war, right?

"Shanks, you should continue teaching Uranus about Haki. He should be just one step away from mastering it."

In terms of learning Haki, Uranus was even more talented than he was back then, as were Yamato.

"And what about you?" The Red-Haired rolled his eyes.

He could only offer verbal instruction; Uranus was now far beyond his ability to contend with.

"I'm going to the Last Island," Sirius said.

"The Last Island?"

Red-Haired stunned for a moment, then he Satori, "Oh, you mean, Water Star Island?"

"Um."

Sirius nodded.

"You haven't been there yet, have you? You really should go, after all, Mary is at the end of the Grand Line!"

The Final Island people talk about is of course Laugh Tale, where the Greatest Treasure is buried, but the geographically significant final island is called Water Star Island.

That is the end of the Grand Line, the end of the New World. Beyond that, there are no more islands, until the Red Line is nothing but the surging waves.

That was also one of the very few places in the New World that the Sirius Pirates had not yet landed.

After all, they left Blue Sea directly after the Battle of Beehive Island four years ago, and hadn't even had time to explore the seas further back.

Since there's still some time before the sentencing, let's take this opportunity to make up for it.

And so, Sirius and his companions left Wano Country. Golden Lion also took his leave, as he was also returning to gather his strength. They agreed to meet again at Marineford during the public execution.

Four years later, the Sirius Pirates have resumed their journey in the New World.

This time, I don't have to worry about hiding my identity.

Not to mention that Sirius and Yamato can directly change their appearance through Seimei Kikan, the armor worn by the others also has the ability of optical invisibility. Although it is of little use to Observation Haki masters, it is more than enough to hide their identities.

And so, Sirius and his friends spent several days exploring the last seas of the New World.

The number of people in this area of the sea is decreasing.

The further into the New World, the worse the weather and ocean currents become, and the fewer people are able to roam these waters.

The last few islands are almost deserted, just rows of Desert Island.

Then there's that last island.

"So this is... Water Star Island?"

The Sirius slowly descended, below which lay an island that remained motionless amidst raging winds, torrential rain, and towering waves.

Luo looked down and thought, "It's another desolate island with nothing."

"This is the end of the New World."

Sirius said this.

Sirius eventually landed on the surface of the island.

This time there's no need to hide my identity, since there's no trace of anything on the island; it's a genuine Desert Island.

The exposed rocks and overgrown weeds gave off a sense of decay, devoid of any sign of life.

"Only one step left to circle the world!"

Yamato was very happy.

All that's left is that one island, which Roger intended to be the Final Island of Laugh Tale.

"Captain! There's something here!"

Bepo's voice suddenly came from not far away.

Sirius walked over.

Bepo stood in front of a cliff in the center of the island.

The cliff face is very smooth, as if it has been polished by hand, and there are words carved on it.

It's not Ancient Text; it's the script commonly used on the high seas today.

"The red stones guide the way; collect all four markers, and the door to the destination will open."

Sirius read the words aloud.

"So, the legend of the four road signs originated from here?" Yamato, somewhat surprised. "So, these were also left behind by Joy Boy and his group?"

It can only be them.

They really put a lot of thought into it.

When Sirius turned his back, all he saw was a raging torrent of waves.

Beyond this point lies only a chaotic sea, and beyond that, the Reverse Mountain.

For eight hundred years, countless people have searched this sea area, trying to find the location of Laugh Tale, but they have always come up empty-handed.

"We're almost there!"

Yamato stepped forward and stood beside Sirius, placing his hand in Sirius's.

Sirius held Yamato's hand and nodded gently.

"Certainly."
