At the end of the Grand Line lay Laugh Tale.
There was nothing here but an endless golden grassland. At its center stood a massive red rock, engraved with indistinct Ancient Script. The sea breeze blew gently, carrying the scent of freedom, and the sky was as blue as a flawless jewel.
The Thousand Sunny slowly docked at the shore.
Luffy was the first to leap onto the gunwale. Wearing his straw hat, his eyes sparkling, he shouted excitedly, "We're here! Laugh Tale! ONE PIECE is right here!"
Zoro leaned against the gunwale, three swords at his waist and a faint smile curling his lips. Sanji lit a cigarette and gazed at the distant golden grassland, his eyes gentle. Nami clutched an orange, her eyes reddening with excitement. Robin gently traced the Ancient Script on the rock, her eyes full of anticipation. Franky spread his arms and shouted, "Super!" Brook played his violin, its melodious notes drifting across the grassland. Chopper bounded over the grass, as happy as a child. Jinbe stood at the stern, looking at this legendary land with a gratified smile.
Having set out from the East Blue, endured countless dangers, and defeated countless powerful enemies, they had finally reached the end of the Grand Line.
News that Luffy had become the Pirate King spread throughout the world.
Countless people cheered, and countless people thrilled at the news.
But by then, Hua Country's iron cavalry had already swept across the entire world.
Every pirate crew had either been crushed or surrendered to Hua Country.
The Great Pirate Era had come to a definitive end.
Countless kingdoms pledged allegiance to Hua Country, willing to accept its rule.
Atop the Red Line, on the former ruins of Mary Geoise, a brand-new city rose.
New Chang'an City.
