The Descent of Noah

A small, colorful island about 20 kilometers in diameter, covered with a large number of Rainbow Eucalyptus.

Because their bark has a variety of colors such as yellow, green, orange, and even purple, it gives the visual impression of a rainbow.

When dense clusters of Rainbow Eucalyptus gather together, and a gentle sea breeze blows, their branches and leaves sway, creating a scene resembling a constantly changing, multicolored oil painting.

Its presence makes the entire environment's art style more abstract.

On the shore of this peculiar island, a gigantic 'blue whale' was moored; it was actually a large three-masted sailing ship.

Since the Whitebeard Pirates left the Wano Country waters, they have come to this island, which belongs to their own territory, to rest for a few days.

The crew members either climbed up and down wooden planks to carry barrels of wine, grain boxes and other supplies, or Earth Flow and threes, chatting and laughing with the local residents, drinking and eating meat, creating a harmonious and joyful scene.

'Whitebeard' sat on an oversized deck chair placed on the deck, seemingly basking lazily in the warm sunshine.

On both sides of the deck, some people were sitting or standing. Marco, Jozu, and other captains were all there, but many of them had white bandages wrapped around their bodies and injuries on their faces.

It's clear that even when they joined forces, they didn't gain any advantage against Kaido.

However, the atmosphere inside was completely out of place with the bright weather and the colorful island; everyone looked preoccupied.

They clearly sensed that the sea was undergoing incredible changes, and that the entire world was developing in a strange direction.

Big Mom and Kaido have actually sided with the World Government? Can you believe it?

Such a joke would have been a huge joke in the past, but now that the truth has been slapped in everyone's faces, they only feel like they've become the bewildered joke.

Why is that?

Why!

This is precisely the problem that Edward Newgate couldn't understand. Not only Charlotte Linlin, but also Shiki the Golden Lion and Byndi Wald seemed to have given in.

How could that be? He knew Shiki very well what kind of man he was. He was a bastard who would never serve as anyone's subordinate after leaving the Rocks Pirates.

But what about those Flying Warships?

There were so many things he wanted to know, but no one gave him an explanation. However, he was deeply impressed by what Charlotte Linlin had said to him.

"Wouldn't I find out sooner or later?"

Edward Newgate, who was resting with his eyes closed, sighed inwardly, but no matter what, the most important thing was to protect his 'sons'!

Throughout it all, he had no ambition to become king or conquer, nor did he have much desire for wealth. All he wanted was to build a family at sea and, incidentally, protect his impoverished homeland.

It was a non- Affiliated Nation that couldn't join the World Government because it was too poor to pay the "Heavenly Tribute." It gradually degenerated into a "Lawless Island" where One Piece and human traffickers ran rampant. In the end, the country was destroyed, leaving only a few villages.

Because he was concerned about that place, ever since he went to sea to become One Piece, he had been anonymously sending 'dirty money' and 'supplies' there, and also having the 'children' in charge of the transport clean up the scoundrels who were causing trouble on the island.

Marco and the other captains had all been there before, but once they became famous and gained worldwide attention, they replaced them with the new 'sons' who joined the crew.

The purpose was to avoid attracting the attention of the World Government and other great One Piece, so as not to harm their now peaceful and tranquil homeland.

For "Whitebeard," his son and his hometown were everything; they were things he cherished immensely!

[Splash splash...

Suddenly, the weather changed dramatically. A strong wind swept in from the sea, making the clothes and hair of everyone on board flutter loudly, and huge waves pounded fiercely against the Moby Dick.

Fortunately, the sails had been lowered, but when the wind Ueshima, it caused many people to gasp in surprise. Many colorful hats were blown away, and the women quickly covered their skirts that were being blown up.

"Um?"

Edward Newgate suddenly opened his eyes, stood up from his chair, and gazed in a certain direction in the azure sky, which caught the attention of Marco, Jozu, and the others.

"Pops?"

Marco asked, puzzled.

Edward Newgate grabbed Murakumogiri turning serious, and ordered, "Something big is coming! Tell everyone to come back!"

"OK!"

Marco turned to deal with it without hesitation, while the other captains on deck became alert.

Although they couldn't sense any presence within the range of their Observation Haki, their trust in 'Pops' was absolute.

"Such a powerful and Haki!"

But these people couldn't see that the 'Whitebeard' man's face, which was turned away from them, had become cold and stern, because he sensed an extraordinary aura that he had never heard of or even imagined before.

Even Rocks D. Xebec, Gol D. Roger, and himself in the present day did not possess such domineering aura.

"What's wrong with Pops?"

We're back!

The crew members who had landed on the island returned one after another, but at this moment, neither Edward Newgate nor the captains such as Jozu, Thatch, Vista paid any attention to them. Instead, they stood there, staring up at the distant sky.

This caused the crew members, who had just returned to the deck, to instinctively follow everyone's gaze.

The next moment.

A fairly distinct dark shadow appeared in the field of vision and slowly flew towards us. After a moment, the shadow became clearer and larger.

"Boat?"

"It looks like a white ship, but it doesn't have sails. It's a bit like those floating Sky Island that the Flying Pirate Fleet."

Lacquer, who was wielding a meteor hammer, his eyes narrowed.

But as the white spaceship drew closer to the ground, all the crew members' expressions changed drastically, for they saw the emblem of the 'Soaring Dragon Hoof' on the ship's hull.

"That's Celestial Dragons's ship!"

The hearts of everyone present sank to the bottom. Although they claimed to be the strongest One Piece crew in the World's Strongest, it was impossible for them not to be wary of the Celestial Dragons.

Because if you touch the Celestial Dragons, it's tantamount to declaring war on the World Government, and not just a small skirmish, but a full-scale war.

In the past, they wouldn't have been too worried. After all, besides them, there was the Big Mom Pirates in this 'New World,' and before that, there was the Flying Pirate Fleet. Even if the Navy mobilized all its forces, it wouldn't be able to do anything.

But now, only my family is left!

"They must have just been passing by."

Fossa, carrying a large sword on his shoulder, chuckled with a hint of humor, but his face immediately fell, because even he himself thought it was impossible.

"Is the World Government going to attack us?"

'Flower Sword' Vista shared his thoughts.

Marco asked doubtfully, "If that's the case, why do you want the Draco to come?"

If they were truly coming to wage war against them, then logically, there should have been dozens of Marine warship present.

But when the White Ship was less than a kilometer away, all sounds vanished instantly. No one spoke anymore, and even breathing became cautious.

Even the men, women, and children on Rainbow Island behind them were dumbfounded, and no birds or beasts on the entire island dared to make the slightest sound.

A deathly silence fell, as if even the sea had been frightened into stillness.

The terrifying hull of Noah, spanning a full twenty-one square kilometers, was fully revealed before everyone. It blocked out the sky and the sun, casting endless shadows upon the vast sea.

It's huge, way too big.

And the sheer number of Large-caliber Cannon, hundreds upon hundreds, even thousands, was awe-inspiring; dozens of warships couldn't match such a formidable force.

Is this the answer?

Edward Newgate stared blankly at the behemoth, thinking to himself.

I must clarify something here: I didn't expect there to be so many people who don't read comics, but some people, please, could you at least use a better tone? And you're a trainee, coming to the book review section and the latest chapter to hurl insults? Have you no shame?

First, the concepts of the Yellow Springs, Hell, King Enma are existing settings in the manga, not my own creations. I simply expanded upon these settings.

Secondly, the claim that I'm stronger than Imu is ridiculous. Enma is the King Enma of Hell, having lived for countless ages. How could Imu, with only a thousand years of experience, possibly be stronger? If I were to actually set it up that way, it would be a truly suffocating plot device!

Stop hyping Imu to the point of madness. Saying that the existence of King Enma affected Imu's prestige is just Oda's doing.

Third, I will definitely include Saint Seiya in this book. My book is a crossover anime/manga world based on One Piece fanfiction, so how could I not include a classic Japanese manga like Saint Seiya? It's just that its power levels are too high, so it will be placed later. What's there to be surprised about?

Fourth, the concept of the Sixth Sense isn't a universal combat power level; it's merely a reference point regarding the 'heart' aspect. Haki originates from the heart—this is a fundamental concept. Furthermore, since I'm writing fanfiction based on a Japanese manga, I naturally need to refer to the manga's system. Is there a problem with that?

Fifth, the claim that my setting Imu as a weakling of the Sixth Sense is a forced weakening is wrong. I've said it before: Imu is only the strongest in the One Piece world, not the strongest in the entire universe.

Whether it's Imu, the World Government, Garp, or Akainu— these top combatants will all continue to break through their limits and increase their combat power in later storylines.

Just because they can't beat them now doesn't mean they won't be able to beat them in the future.
