The sclerotia were destroyed, and the source of the " Tide of Decay " was completely eradicated. Although the " Thirsty Forest " will need a long time to recover, the gloom that shrouded Ambra Island has dissipated, and the unsettling anxiety and longing have vanished without a trace.
On their Straw Hat Pirates back to the edge of the island, the surrounding plants were no longer hostile or wailing, but exuded a gentle, grateful aura. Flowers bloomed toward them, vines parted to make way, and some fragrant fruits even fell from the branches and rolled to their feet, as if it were nature's gift.
"They... are thanking us!" Chopper exclaimed excitedly as he picked up a golden fruit that looked delicious.
Usopp puffed out his chest. "Looks like Usopp bravery (even though it was mostly Allen who did the work) has been recognized!"
Luffy started eating without any hesitation. "Mmm! Delicious! Even sweeter than before!"
Back in the rangers' village, the whole village was in an uproar. The Great Ranger led all the rangers in expressing their sincerest gratitude and highest respect to the Straw Hat Pirates. They held a grand feast, treating their benefactors to the island's freshest and sweetest fruits and carefully crafted honey.
At the banquet, the Great Ranger solemnly said to Allen, "Young strongman, you not only saved the Thirsty Forest, but also rescued the Mother Tree from near collapse, and saved our Ambra Island. The Mother Tree has conveyed its gratitude to me and wishes to present this gift to you."
He took out an old-fashioned wooden box, and inside were three Seed, each with a different shape and emitting a soft green light. One was like jade, containing a powerful life force; another was like crystal, with what seemed like a galaxy flowing inside; and the last one was simple and unadorned, yet it carried a sense of profound weightiness rooted in the earth.
"These are ' Life Source Seed ' condensed from the Mother Tree," the Great Forest Ranger explained. " The Jade Seed contains pure life energy, capable of bringing life to barren lands. The Crystal Seed can subtly influence the surrounding spacetime, accelerating or slowing plant growth. The Earth Seed can stabilize the ley lines and purify minor impurities. They may be of assistance on your journey."
Allen could sense the wondrous power contained within the three Seed. Although it would only have a limited impact on his own strength, it might play an unexpected role in certain situations. He didn't refuse and readily accepted them. "Thank you for the gift from the Mother Tree."
Nami received a large box of various rare plant essential oils, spices, and dried medicinal plants as a gift from the forest ranger, which was quite valuable and made her beam with joy.
Sanji obtained samples of many herbs and edible fungi he had never seen before, as well as a notebook documenting the unique herbal dishes of Ambra Island.
Chopper's medicine bank was greatly replenished, especially several plants that were remarkably effective against external injuries and toxins.
Robin copied portions of the forest ranger's records about the island's history, plant illustrations, and the meteorite that brought disaster.
Franky studied some plant fibers with special toughness and energy conductivity.
Brook, on the other hand, harvested several kinds of peculiar hollow reeds that could produce a pleasant sound in the wind.
Jinbe exchanged insights with the forest rangers about marine plants and the ecological balance of islands.
Ace and Luffy, on the other hand, simply enjoyed a gourmet feast.
After resting for two days on Ambra Island, the Log Pose full, pointing in a new direction.
As they set sail, the forest rangers and many of the island's intelligent plants came to the port to see them off. Flora's eyes were red, and she waved her hands vigorously. "You must come back to see us again! The Thirsty Forest will definitely be beautiful then!"
"Goodbye, you fruit-bearing trees!" Luffy shouted.
"Beautiful Flora, I'll miss you!" Sanji's eyes sparkled with hearts.
"Take care." Robin said goodbye with a smile.
"Let's go, this was a good haul." Ace smiled as he counted the fruit they had brought along the way.
Standing at the stern, Allen gazed at the vibrant, emerald-green island, feeling the faint resonance of the three Life Source Seed within him, and nodded slightly. Saving lives and gaining hope—this feeling was never bad.
The "Wanli Yangguang" (Thousand Sunny hoisted its sails and, amidst the rustling sounds of blessings from the forest rangers and plants (which were singing in their own way), sailed once again into the vast ocean.
Their logbook has been updated with a new and significant entry—the story of a rescued forest island.
