Two days later~
"Is this the Eternal Night Sea?"
Xia Chen stood atop the Flying Nimbus, gazing at the dark sea before him and murmuring softly. Then he looked up at the sky above the sea.
A huge, thick dark cloud was floating in the sky, its edge invisible.
This is the origin of the Eternal Night Sea: an enormous dark cloud blocked out the sunlight, shrouding the entire sea in darkness.
What's even more amazing is that this dark cloud doesn't drift with the wind; it stays in the same position.
Seeing this, Xia Chen couldn't help but smile slightly. He said softly:
"Doha is one of the strangest and most wonderful things in this world!"
Without hesitation, Xia Chen controlled his Flying Nimbus and charged directly into the sea.
His strength is his foundation, so the unknown does not instill fear in him!

One day ago~
Xia Chen then sent Rayleigh to the island where Luffy and the others were training. After informing them of Rayleigh's identity, everyone looked on in surprise.
When Xia Chen said he would find someone to teach them, they were Xia Chen about who he would choose.
I never expected they would even bring together such a famous powerhouse from the old era. As expected, Xia Chen's influence is truly immense!
Upon seeing that there were five people, Rayleigh instantly wondered if he had agreed too hastily.
With five people, this is quite a workload!
However, since he had already agreed to Xia Chen's request, Rayleigh naturally wouldn't say anything.
All I can say is that he deserved to earn that piece of gold!
Xia Chen had originally planned to call Hawk-Eyes over, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.
First of all, Hawk-Eyes is hard to persuade. Even though Xia Chen is stronger than him, it's no use. Hawkeye doesn't fall for that kind of thing!
Furthermore, Rayleigh's swordsmanship is also quite good; he would be more than capable of teaching Zoro.
In that case, there's no need to go through all that trouble. Rayleigh... is quite good too!
After spending another day there, Xia Chen went directly to the location of the Eternal Night Sea given to him by Big News Morgans.
Although Xia Chen has always believed in the wise saying, "Suffering first doesn't guarantee sweetness later, but sweetness first is truly sweet!"
But this time was a little different. He wasn't sure how long it would take him to find Dark Night Island, and if it took a long time, then that time would really be wasted.
That's why Xia Chen decided to come here to look for it first, and if he couldn't find it, Luffy back to look for it when he had time.
If it still can't be found... then don't blame him for dispersing all the dark clouds over the Eternal Night Sea!
He never considered himself a magnanimous person. Why could everyone else find something but he couldn't? Did they look down on him?
So it's understandable that he reacted impulsively and did something extreme out of embarrassment.

Rewinding to the present, Xia Chen is currently traveling at high speed through the Eternal Night Sea, surrounded by complete darkness.
An ordinary person in such an environment would be unable to see anything, but Xia Chen is not an ordinary person.
His Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils allows him to see clearly even in the dark, as if it were daytime, without any hindrance.
However, Xia Chen Xia Chen was a little annoyed. Although he had only recently entered the Eternal Night Sea, his speed was extremely fast.
According to information provided by Big News Morgans, he has now explored more than half of the Eternal Night Sea.
But so far, let alone an island, we haven't even seen a small mound.
Was his luck really that bad, with Dark Night Island just happening to be in the remaining sea area?
With this question in mind, Xia Chen's expression became quite interesting a few minutes later.
He... was simply not destined to find it? He searched the entire Eternal Night Sea but still couldn't find Dark Night Island.
That doesn't make sense!
Xia Chen stroked his chin, pondering with a puzzled expression.
After a long pause, Xia Chen shook his head, giving up on continuing the search.
He had already searched the entire area but found nothing, so he didn't think that searching again would reveal anything.
There's no need to do any more of this futile work. Let's wait until Luffy over and see what happens!
Let's see if this so-called Dark Night Island will give the World's Chosen any face!
With that in mind, Xia Chen turned his Flying Nimbus around and prepared to go back.
However, at that moment, Xia Chen seemed to sense something, and his figure, which was about to leave, stopped, and then looked down at the sea below.
He could feel a sudden fluctuation coming from there, and this fluctuation was getting stronger and stronger.
A few breaths later, the seawater below Xia Chen suddenly began to surge, splashing up huge waves and creating several enormous whirlpools.
"Huh? What's this?"
Xia Chen looked down curiously, a guess forming in his mind.
A few breaths later, countless black mists suddenly appeared on the sea, followed by the silhouette of a huge black shadow appearing before Xia Chen's eyes.
Xia Chen could see it clearly; it was... an island?
Seeing this, Xia Chen couldn't help but smile. He thought he must have found Dark Night Island.
He was already ready to leave, but then Dark Night Island suddenly appeared right in front of him.
No wonder Big News Morgans said many people come here hoping to find Dark Night Island but can't; it really does depend on luck!
It seems those who found this island were really lucky!
A little over a minute later, the commotion in the sea finally subsided, and the entire Dark Night Island was revealed to Xia Chen.
However, Xia Chen was lost in thought as he looked at the island, a hint of astonishment on his face.
This island... was vastly different from any island he had ever seen before.
Because... this island is entirely made of black mist!
The mountains, rivers, and trees were all composed of black mist, a darkness even deeper than the surrounding darkness!
An ordinary person might not be able to notice these differences, but Xia Chen has Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils and is looking down from a high altitude.
Therefore, you can see everything on the island very clearly!
But the problem is... this is different from the information Big News Morgans gave him!!
The Dark Night Island in Big News Morgans's materials differs significantly from the "island" he is currently viewing!
He's not even sure if this is an island now.
Big News Morgans's account of Dark Night Island only indicates that it is located in the Eternal Night Sea, so nothing can be seen there. However, it is certain that Dark Night Island does indeed have land.
It was no different from any other island, unlike this black fog-filled thing, which was so... eerie!
However, Xia Chen felt no fear whatsoever; on the contrary, he was quite interested in this situation.
Skill breeds daring!
With that in mind, Xia Chen prepared to go down and see if these islands made of black mist had any physical form.
However, just as Xia Chen was about to go down to check, another unexpected event occurred...
