Above the orbit of a planet that was almost entirely emerald green.
Borsalino, draped in a blue Coat of Justice, appeared in an instant amid a burst of golden light.
The moment he sensed the presence of an atmosphere, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Being unable to speak the whole way here had been torturous.
"Phew—"
"Finally made it. That was quite exhausting."
This was Jupiter, Sea Star's neighbor.
He had come here once before, but had been called back shortly after arriving.
This time, however, he had brought a bag of Flying Thunder God Kunai with him.
Thinking that he could return to Sea Star for a rest as soon as the teleportation passage was established, Borsalino did not hesitate further.
He transformed into a brilliant golden flash again and flew into the planet like a meteor.
"Eh? It's nighttime?"
Borsalino realized that the area he was in was deep in the night.
Since this world had no moon, it was even darker than usual.
He had no choice but to make his eyes glow and illuminate the way himself. At the same time, he saw a vast jungle below.
That was hardly surprising. Jupiter was covered in trees and vegetation.
"Eh?"
Just as Borsalino was considering whether to find a nearby clearing, plant the kunai, and contact Sea Star, or spend more time traveling to the other side of the planet—
His spread-out Observation Haki sensed the presence of living creatures in the distance, and there were quite a lot of them.
That alone was nothing unusual.
The last time Borsalino came here, he had discovered that Jupiter possessed many strange plant lifeforms.
However, they seemed to possess intelligence no greater than that of wild beasts, acting entirely on instinct, much like those on the Boin Archipelago
