Scene 1: A Minor Unexpected Incident at the Opening Ceremony
Under the bright sunshine and with the resounding boom of cannons (specially made environmentally friendly colored smoke cannons by the Science Department ), the " Wings of Freedom " celebration officially began! Long, as the representative, delivered a brief but powerful opening speech. Everything seemed to be going smoothly.
Until the flag-raising ceremony.
A brand-new flag, depicting hands of various races supporting the sun, was slowly raised to the accompaniment of solemn music. Everyone stood at attention.
Suddenly, a gust of evil wind blew by (later identified as a child from a Sky Island who had lost control while playing with Jet Wind Dial ) --
The flag slapped right onto Garp's face, who was dozing off nearby!
"Ugh!!" Garp frantically tried to pull the flag down, but slipped and rolled off the viewing platform like a dumpling wrapped in the flag, knocking over the barrel of Giants mead brought by the Giants representative!
Golden, fragrant mead cascaded out like a waterfall, spilling everywhere. Garp struggled out of the flag, soaking wet and reeking of the strong aroma of the mead. He wiped his face, looked at the empty barrel, and burst into laughter. "Hahaha! Good wine! It's a shame it spilled!"
A hush fell over the entire room, then erupted in deafening laughter. The Live Broadcast Den Den Mushi quickly switched the camera. Sabo, backstage, covered his face. "I knew it..."
Scene Two: The "War" in the Food Section
The food court was the most crowded area. Sanji and his team of chefs were extremely busy.
Luffy did indeed try to break in, but was firmly blocked by a human wall formed by a group of the Revolutionary Army soldiers. "Mr. Luffy! Calm down! It's not open yet!"
Luffy (stretching his neck): "Meat! I just want to take a look! And smell it!"
Sanji roared, "Idiot captain! Get back on patrol! Or you won't get any dinner tonight!"
At this point, the Chaos Slime (temporarily borrowed by Ace to serve as a "multi-purpose kitchen utensil") displayed its incredible power, sometimes transforming into a giant frying pan to fry a hundred steaks at once, sometimes into countless plates to precisely catch the food, and sometimes into a mixer to whip cream at high speed, with astonishing efficiency. Although it would occasionally sneakily transform into a fork to poke a piece of meat for itself to taste (and then be kicked away by Sanji ), its overall performance was excellent.
Scene 3: The "Integration" of Cultural Performances
During the cultural performance segment, various ethnic groups showcased their unique characteristics.
The Merfolk ' dances are exquisite, the Sky Island's Cloud Dial symphony is ethereal and melodious, Wano Country's sword dance is magnificent...
Then it was the Straw Hat Pirates's turn for a "grand chorus + improvisation".
The first half of " Binks' Sake " is fairly well-organized, but it completely goes astray starting from the interlude:
Luffy started bouncing around with his rubber body as a dance, knocking over the backdrop;
Usopp launched the " Festival Firework Star " (which he had stolen beforehand), and the fireworks exploded in the sky, forming his triumphant smiley face.
Zoro, while drinking, unconsciously began to swing his sword, the sword energy cutting several slits in the stage floor;
Sanji spun around as he brought out the dishes, but there were too many female spectators, so he turned into a circle-eyed man and started handing out heart-shaped meals, causing chaos.
Chopper was so scared that he ran around the whole place in a panic;
Robin conjured up many hands to clap, but the hands got tangled up because there were too many of them.
Franky drove onto the stage in a miniature General Franky, his chest spitting fire that nearly set the curtain ablaze;
Brook sang so passionately that her Soul Departure seemed to leave her body and drift away...
The audience not only didn't mind, but laughed uproariously, feeling that this was the true meaning of "freedom." Sabo had already given up hope backstage.
Scene 4: The "Surprise" in the Science and Technology Exhibition Area
The technology exhibition area, where Ace was stationed, attracted many curious glances.
The PX-0 pancake robot has become a star, with long queues of people waiting to join it.
The " Sea Cloud Energy Cycle Model," jointly developed by the Fish-Man, Sky Island, Wano Country, is operating stably and has received high praise.
Until Ace personally demonstrated the "eco-friendly fireworks"...
He carefully controlled the energy output of the Flame of World Purification, and a beautiful white flame rose into the sky, exploding into a dazzling star pattern—success!
The audience applauded!
Ace breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a bit smug, and decided to go for something even more extravagant.
For the second shot, he put in a little more force...
Flames shot into the air and exploded—unexpectedly forming a huge, clear profile of Luffy picking his nose! (Perhaps residual energy from Luffy's earlier mischief influenced the shape of the flames?)
The whole audience burst into laughter!
Luffy cheered from below, "Wow! It's me! Ace! Put one more!"
Ace's face darkened, and he quickly called it a day. The next day's headline read, " Fire Fist Commander Publicly Expresses 'Love' for His Brother with Fireworks?"
Scene 5: Closing Fireworks and the Real " Wings of Freedom "
As night fell, it was time for the final fireworks display.
All the lights went out, and people eagerly awaited their arrival.
Allen took a deep breath to ensure absolute stability of spacetime.
Ace personally controlled the launch pad.
Whoosh--Bang!
The first firework shot into the sky and exploded into the shape of a world map.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh--Bang bang bang!
More fireworks soared into the sky, transforming into cultural symbols of various ethnic groups, beautiful flowers, and adorable animals...
Finally, all the fireworks shot into the night sky at once!
Under Allen's meticulous protection of spacetime stability, Ace's precise energy control, and under everyone's watchful eyes—
Countless points of light converged and combined in the air, eventually forming a pair of enormous, radiant wings that were slowly flapping!
It is the symbol of the celebration—the " Wings of Freedom "!
At that moment, the entire New Dawn Plaza fell silent; everyone was awestruck by this magnificent and hopeful scene.
Immediately, thunderous applause and cheers resounded through the sky!
Luffy's eyes lit up, and his mouth was agape.
Sabo finally showed a tired but relieved smile.
Ace wiped his sweat, relieved that nothing else went wrong.
Allen stood in the shadows, looking at the wings of light and hope in the sky, a slight smile playing on his lips.
After the fireworks ended, people lingered, reluctant to leave, immersed in an atmosphere of joy and hope. Despite the many mishaps and laugh-out-loud moments throughout the day, New World celebrated its birthday in a lively and genuine way.
The celebration has come to a successful close (in every sense of the word). Life, however, will continue its vibrant and unpredictable daily routine.
