Eve of Battle

The place that used to be called Reverse Mountain, where the towering mountain that once connected the four seas and the Grand Line has completely disappeared, has been replaced by a huge strait.

The New World and the Paradise were now completely connected, and the previously chaotic ocean currents instantly calmed down.

"The ocean currents have been completely altered, and even the magnetic field is gradually changing."

Onboard the Sirius, floating above the strait, Black exclaimed in surprise, "In that case, the Calm Belt will soon disappear."

"Now it seems that the composition of this mountain range is quite unique."

"So, I made a really good decision, right?"

Still retaining his Giant God form, standing atop the artificially separated Red Line, Sirius smiled and said, "From today onwards, this sea will truly be connected like never before, right?"

"You changed the world, Captain!"

Black shouted.

This is just the beginning!

Sirius shrank in size, then leaped forward, landing lightly on the deck of the Sirius. He stretched leisurely, "Let's go, let's prepare for the final battle!"

He turned to look at some people on the deck, "Teacher Kaido, Golden Lion- senpai, shall I take you back first?"

"Hehehehe, since war is coming, then we should indeed mobilize all available forces!" Teacher Kaido laughed heartily. "Then let's send me back to join King and the others!"

"I'll go ask that old hag Big Mom if she's interested in this war!"

Kid and Ace said in unison, "We'll join too!"

Their crewmates are still with the Beasts Pirates; it's time to go and join them.

"Then I'll go with Ace too!"

The Straw Hat Kid shouted loudly as well.

He has already made up his mind to participate in the upcoming battle.

Sirius is already the Pirate King, but we can't miss the final excitement!

"No problem."

Sirius nodded, then looked at the Golden Lion.

"I don't need to, there's nothing I need to prepare."

Senior Golden Lion waved his hand.

His men are all worthless scoundrels; there's absolutely no need for them to go back.

"And,"

He shook his hand, and the floating Sky Island beside him swayed in sync. "You probably need my help now, kid, right?"

Sirius chuckled softly. "That's true."

"I'm with you all," the Red-Haired said. "Next, we're preparing for the final battle, right?"

"Then Shanks, why don't you come with us to find Dragon?"

"There are one last few preparations to be made," Sirius.

The Sirius began its return to the New World, dropping off Teacher Kaido and the others on the island where the Beasts Pirates lived. There was still time; they could conduct their final lesson.

After sending them there, Sirius didn't immediately go to meet up with Dragon; he decided to go find some Devil Fruit.

The Devil Fruit Tree growing on Laugh Tale not only produces more Devil Fruit, but also has some very strange functions.

One of its functions is to guide the direction of Devil Fruit abilities, whether those abilities are currently attached to the fruit or to a person.

In that case, wouldn't it be a waste not to collect more useful Devil Fruit before the official start of the war?

The Sirius is now incredibly fast, and even traveling around the world doesn't take much time.

Excluding those that had already been eaten, Sirius actually recovered quite a few Devil Fruit.

With so many Devil Fruits hanging on the Devil Fruit Tree now, just as Teacher Kaido said, building an army of Devil Fruit User is no longer a difficult task at all.

Then Sirius went to the Revolutionary Army's base, Isle of White Soil.

As the Sirius slowly descended from the sky, the entire Isle of White Soil erupted in cheers.

"It's Black Wolf! The Pirate King is here! Hahaha!"

"The Sirius Pirates! Welcome to the world-changing people!"

"Thank you, thank you for letting the world know everything!"

The people on the island cheered and shouted.

A gust of wind rose from below and finally condensed into the shape of Dragon on the deck of the Sirius. He immediately gave Sirius a warm hug.

"Sirius, I've been waiting for you for so long! I've been holding back this hug for so long!"

"A hug isn't enough."

Sirius laughed and said, "You missed the banquet at Laugh Tale, so you should make it up to me with one."

"Hahaha, as many as you want!"

Dragon laughed heartily, turning to look at the island floating nearby, his eyes brimming with barely suppressed excitement. "That's... Laugh Tale?"

"Would you like to go take a look?"

"Is that alright? Hearing your story over the phone and witnessing it firsthand are two completely different experiences!"

"Don't talk nonsense, of course you can."

"Then I'll trouble you to lead the way."

Dragon laughed and said, "Before that, I'll introduce you to two people."

"Oh?"

The Sirius landed on the sea off the island, and the people on board disembarked.

Dragon appeared before Sirius with two other people.

One was a tall, slender, and stunningly beautiful woman with flowing black hair.

One was a middle-aged man wearing a white lab coat, thick glasses, and a strange smile on his face.

Sirius recognized one of them, but also guessed the identity of the other.

"Oh, Nico Robin, the Child of the Devil, and then the other one is Dr. Vegapunk, right?"

"Mr. Sirius, I've been wanting to meet you for a long time!"

Robin was somewhat excited.

This man solved a mystery that Void Century and fulfilled Ohara's long-cherished wish!

"I understand, I've heard about what happened in Ohara."

Sirius nodded slightly. "The stone that records all the secrets is on Laugh Tale. You can go see it now."

Robin was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes. "Thank you so much!!"

Although all the secrets have been revealed, she still wants to see it for herself.

After Sirius, Robin hurriedly left; she couldn't wait any longer.

And then--

Sirius looked at the genius scientist who was grinning strangely.

The man was now standing in front of Black, looking around.

"Oh, oh, oh, so this is the Black the old men were talking about? Hahaha, Dr. Tsukimi has really created something amazing!"

"You're mistaken, Dr. Vegapunk."

Black calmly replied, "I am nothing, I am Black of the Sirius Pirate Ship."

"Hahaha, interesting, interesting, interesting! Let's chat sometime later. You really are a remarkable scientist!"

Vegapunk laughed loudly, then looked at Sirius, "So, Black Wolf, what favor do you want me to do for you?"

Sirius grinned. "It's nothing special."
