The Child of Destiny

Sabaody Archipelago

As the flames on Island One died out, the Sabaody Archipelago was plunged into darkness.

Even so, the choking smell of smoke lingered for a long time.

In the darkness, countless Marines and World Government intelligence agents moved through the Sabaody Archipelago, searching for traces of the Sky Pirate Crew. Yet the Sky Pirate Crew seemed to have vanished into thin air. The agents searched every corner of the archipelago but found nothing.

Shakky's Rip-off Bar, alternate space.

As dish after dish was prepared, everyone feasted heartily.

"No matter how many times I see it, it's such a convenient ability..."

It was Shakky's first time entering the Door-Door Fruit's alternate space.

She looked around. Outside was still her bar, but it existed in another space. Even Observation Haki would have a hard time detecting this place unless someone came very close.

"What a tense and exciting three days..."

Freya lay somewhat wearily on the sofa in the alternate space.

At Ye Mu's instruction, everyone had kept their nerves taut for the past three days to guard against all sorts of unimaginable situations.

Fortunately, they had been fairly lucky over those three days, and nothing happened.

"Looking at it this way, the World Government doesn't seem all that scary. You were worrying too much, Ye Mu. We could have simply used the Door-Door Fruit to leave together back then."

Ye Mu, who was tearing into a chunk of pork leg, shook his head firmly.

"Mmph... gulp... Don't let your guard down. You can never be too careful around the World Government. Honestly, compared to them, I think those monsters in the New World are much cuter!"

Hearing this, Rayleigh burst into laughter.

"If the monsters of the New World heard you say that, they'd probably come looking for trouble."
