One Year: Mastering the Voice of All Things

Remember: say 06 Хīashυ6ом to avoid losing it

Time flies, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye. Since the Four Emperors Big was killed by God a year ago, the entire New World, except for the Four Emperors and certain regions, has been in turmoil.

The country made its full appearance on the sea that year, and the former territory of Big began to be gradually subdued. During this period, the fame of Bai Doudou and others was reported almost every day.

On the contrary, news from God is extremely rare!

After a year of peace, the New World has maintained a balance, except that the Four Emperors have changed.

However, God's success acted like a stimulant, injecting it into ambitious pirates all over the world, resulting in the birth of pirates in almost every corner of the globe.

Because God's deeds told them that the Four Emperors were not invincible!

As a result, the Navy faced exceptionally high pressure that year.

Among these countless pirates, a few new pirate crews have begun to show their potential.

For example, the Straw Hat Pirates, the Hawkins Pirates, the Kid Pirates, and so on. Now, almost all the news about the Grand Line is about these newly formed pirate crews.

Of course, these pirate crews are hardly noticeable in the New World because they are too weak, even in the Grand Line.

Aside from these, the most peculiar is the Whitebeard Pirates.

Since the Alabasta Incident a year ago, the Whitebeard Pirates have rarely appeared, as if they have suddenly disappeared, with only some unimportant news circulating about them.

These seemingly insignificant pieces of news were enough to scare away some greedy individuals: the World's Strongest Man was still alive.

However, during the Alabasta Incident, both the Big Pirates and the Beasts Pirates invaded Whitebeard's territory. Although they were stopped by the Red-Haired Pirates, many of their rich islands were still taken away.

The Beasts Pirates were relatively safe; they didn't vomit up what they ate, and no one dared to snatch food from their mouths. However, the destruction of the Big Pirates plunged all these islands into chaos, with various forces vying for control.

God, who succeeded Big, didn't have much time to manage the islands, and most importantly, the Whitebeard Pirates showed no intention of taking them back. So, these islands are now either occupied by other forces or are in the midst of a struggle for control.

In the New World, deep within the Calm Belt, lies a vast island, where the roars of beasts echo, the cries of many extinct creatures resounding everywhere.

The island is surrounded by dense jungle, and at its very center, all is peaceful. Many people, drenched in sweat, can be seen practicing their meditation.

Outsiders would be astonished to see this, as these people are clearly important members of the Whitebeard Pirates, such as Diamond Jozu and Vista the Flower Sword.

Smoke billowed from his body, Jozu had a scar across his face, and his aura was completely different from a year ago.

Vista nearby, was in the same situation. Clearly, the reason the Whitebeard Pirates disappeared during that year was because they were training.

Wiping the sweat from his face, Jozu couldn't help but gaze into the depths of the island.

"Is Pops alright?"

Very worried, Jozu clenched his fists. In the past year, his Pops had personally taught them cultivation, and they had absorbed it like sponges.

Most importantly, Pops's health was deteriorating, and everyone knew that Pops wouldn't be able to hold on much longer. So he poured his heart and soul into guiding them, hoping that they wouldn't be left behind by this era.

Every time Jozu and the others saw Whitebeard's tired face, their hearts ached with a mixture of helplessness and anger.

In the Alabasta Incident, they lost too many comrades. Only five or six squadron captains from the entire main ship survived; the rest were all dead.

Although he managed to gather the captains of his pirate crews together that year, pain is pain, and it's not something that can be easily forgotten.

"It'll be alright!"

Vista sheathed his swords, his chest gradually calming down, but the worry in his eyes remained.

Meanwhile, deep within the island.

With his upper body bare, Ace sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed, as if sensing something.

Not far away, the Whitebeard man stared without blinking. Although his face was full of fatigue, his eyes were full of spirit and satisfaction.

"Rustle"

The sound of the wind blowing, the cheerful rustling of the leaves, the tender rustling of the grass, the air, the earth, the stones, the soil—all of nature seemed to come alive, slowly beginning to envelop Ace.

"Keep blowing! Keep blowing!"

"Swaying, swaying."

"So comfortable."

Pure and genuine sounds resonated within Ace's mind; this was a unique and entirely new world, filled with wonder.

Slowly, Ace's aura disappeared; more accurately, it merged into nature, as if he had become a part of the earth.

With his eyes tightly closed, he raised his right hand, and a flame slowly burned, filling the air with warmth. The next moment, it suddenly became violent, and ripples began to spread across the atmosphere centered on Ace.

This flame seemed to have come to life and emotions, which was unbelievable.

Slowly opening his eyes, the flames vanished, Ace stood up.

"Pops!"

Turning to look at his Pops, Ace's eyes revealed worry.

"How?"

Sitting on the rock, Whitebeard looked at Ace with some anticipation.

"I have already mastered the Voice of All Things; all I can do now is deepen my perception."

Standing before Whitebeard, Ace felt no joy at having mastered the Voice of All Things.

"Kurara truly lives up to his reputation as my son, Whitebeard; he has already mastered the Voice of All Things in just one year."

Whitebeard laughed heartily, filled with joy compared to Ace himself.

After laughing, Whitebeard's expression turned serious. "Ace, I told you before not to rely too much on Devil Fruit, do you remember?"

"I remember, my Pops said that although Devil Fruit are very powerful, they have many weaknesses, such as the sea, Seastone, Haki, and the mutual restraint Devil Fruit."

"What about the Three-Color Haki?"

"I'm not quite sure, Pops, you only have Observation Haki."

"You already know about Observation Haki, and there are many people in this world who possess Observation Haki. However, Observation Haki can also Awakening a second time, and those who can Awakening a second time are even rarer than Conqueror's Haki."

"Future Sight, Emotion Perception, Voice of All Things." Ace recalled Whitebeard's teachings from a year ago.

"That's right. Currently, there are only these three extensions of the second Awakening of Observation Haki. There may be others, but I haven't seen them yet."

Future Sight on the high seas; fighting such a person would only put you on the defensive. As for Emotion Perception, I know of one person, but he's already dead.

"Who is it?" Ace curiously. Future Sight is easy to understand, but Emotion Perception is a bit special, since this ability doesn't seem very strong.

"She is Queen Otohime of Fish-Man Island, and the reason I protect Fish-Man Island is because of her!"

"Queen Otohime?" Ace was somewhat confused, clearly not recognizing her.

"These things are no longer important. In my view, Emotion Perception is far more terrifying than Future Sight and the Voice of All Things."

She once said that all living beings have emotions and desires, and the ultimate Emotion Perception is the ability to control the emotions of life. This means that if she wanted to, she could manipulate any living being, and this power would be enough to destroy the world.

With a solemn expression, Whitebeard suddenly sighed, "What a pity. He gave her the power to destroy the world, but also deprived her of everything a normal person should have."
