"If I'm not mistaken... this should be the last excrement of the old Island Whale before it died... cough cough, excrement. So the fruit here must be from the cargo hold it ate in the Sunken Ship before it died, and the seeds were excreted along with it. It has natural fertilizer, so of course it grows amazingly fast. As a result, the whole island is full of edible crops."
As for the nearby underwater towers, they are likely the spines of Island Whale that haven't completely decomposed. Furthermore, there's a chance that the bladders of Island Whale that die of old age will swell after death, becoming a structure similar to gum bubbles, so..."
Benk, who was throwing dirt at the monkey, suddenly froze, while the monkey, as if it had known all along, continued to playfully throw dirt...
Lucky Roo had just torn open a piece of the roasted meat and stuffed it into his mouth when he paused from chewing.
Amidst the awkward silence, the Red-Hair Pirates silently threw all the meat and fish they had just eaten into the sea, and buried the tableware on the ground...
In mid-air, space Distortion for a moment, and then Shanks and Beckman, soaking wet, fell from the sky.
It was obvious that Shanks activated the Fly-Fly Fruit's power, teleporting Beckman out instantly—that's how he went down earlier... according to the location Lucky Roo pointed out.
However...
Soaked all over?
Normally, Shanks teleports directly into a "bubble" without seawater and then teleports out again, so he shouldn't get wet, unless...
"The buildings down there in Yahala are truly amazing... They're incredibly complex, but every room is completely empty of furniture. Could they have moved out? Beckman and I also found some strange liquid down there; it has a rather pungent smell. I wonder if it's related to the disappearance of the Yahala people..."
After landing, Shanks excitedly told the others about his gains.
The Yahala and such were merely legendary underwater civilizations. With Sig's limited knowledge, he couldn't possibly deduce their existence, hence his inclination to disbelieve Sig!
Beckman then noticed the awkward expressions on everyone's faces, and... there was a subtle hint that they were avoiding Shanks and him!
Just then, Sig's voice sounded behind them, "That's normal. The spine of an elderly Island Whale that dies of old age will develop many cavities due to calcium deficiency. In addition, it already has intersegmental spaces, so it looks like a long, thin tower with many rooms..."
As for the liquid below, well... after all, the 'bubbles' are formed from the bladder of Island Whale after it dies.
Shanks initially showed some surprise upon seeing Sig, but because Sig was speaking, he didn't interrupt him immediately. However...
The more Sig spoke, the more frozen Shanks' expression became, while Beckman, standing to the side, turned pale.
That idiot Shanks just insisted on dragging Beckman down into the "puddles" to take a look!
Beckman finally understood why the crew members around them avoided them like the plague...
"I've left something in the sea!" Beckman said, and rushed into the ocean.
Sig watched Beckman's retreating figure and remarked, "So he really is Big Fool... He's aged so much in just a few years."
Ben Beckman is a late bloomer. In the Red-Hair Pirates, where everyone is young and the Captain is only 33, the vice- Captain Beckman is already 46 years old, which is two or three years older than King and Katakuri!
But...
Looking at Beckman's now completely white hair and weathered face, you'd think he was the same age as Big Mom and Kaido!
"Ah... Sig, you're finally back... Brothers, how about we have a grand reunion feast tonight?" Shanks tried to liven things up.
However, the response was lukewarm. Yasopp then suggested, "Boss, Beckman's eyesight hasn't been very good lately. Why don't you go into the sea and help him look for what he lost?"
"Huh? But I'm Devil Fruit user..."
On an unnamed floating island overseas, a brutal scene unfolded with a pirate crew. The Captain, who was unable to come into contact with seawater, was forced into the ocean by his ruthless crew.
The banquet was still going to be a banquet, but everyone clearly didn't intend to have one on this island—although they hadn't thought much of it before, and even felt it was a nice "vacation island," with Lucky Roo even finding the earthy fragrance unique, but... after Sig revealed the truth, it still felt strange!
Finally, after Rhyme Jones organized the group to pick the fruit, everyone left the island to prepare for a banquet on the ship.
Well, although it's... fruit that grew on top, since it's growing so well, it's nothing. Just consider it fertilizer—finding fruit while sailing is a gift from nature!
If it really is a floating island, according to the "rules," it cannot all be harvested. The ecosystem must be preserved, for the sake of people who happen to come here in the future. Perhaps it can save a ship full of people in distress.
But...
Now that Sig has revealed the secret and we know that this kind of island is destined not to exist for long, let's not hold back!
The evening banquet was therefore exceptionally lavish.
On the high seas, there are sea creatures and fish, so there is no shortage of meat and fish. On the contrary, vegetables and fruits are not so common. The pirates' banquets are always mainly based on grilled meat and fish, as well as alcohol, and it's not all because they like them!
A banquet with salads and juices is truly high-end and sophisticated...
After a lively banquet, Sig slept soundly for once, a rare occurrence.
Although Sig's sleep quality is usually quite good as the owner of the "Visionary Path," this was the only night he truly slept soundly. Whether in Impel Down, the research lab, or on Momousagi's battleship, his sleep quality was merely decent.
As he fell asleep, Sig didn't consciously restrain his consciousness in any way, and naturally drifted into a dream.
In a daze, Sig "dreamed" that he was drifting and sinking in the Sea of Collective Subconscious...
After a nap, the role-playing progress of "Dreamwalker," which was right behind "Shepherd" and "Priest of Light," also reached the "Completed" stage!
Sequence 4 of the Visionary Path, "Manipulator," Sequence One, all related to consciousness. However, it no longer merely guides or interferes; it begins to directly "manipulate" the Spirituality of other beings.
Upon Awakening, Sig already had a clear understanding of the Promotion Ceremony for Sequence 4 of the "White Tower Passage".
The Visionary's Promotion Ceremony to Demigod, in Sig's view, is currently the ritual most closely related to the one in the original work—a manipulation of collective emotions in a scene involving at least ten thousand people...
