One Piece: The user of the Nen-Nen Fruit, who overturned the sea.

The members of the Roy Pirates exchanged smiles and relaxed.

Barrett plopped down by the campfire without any hesitation and started gnawing on a large piece of roasted meat.

Hawkeye found a relatively quiet spot to sit down and began wiping his black sword, Night.

Tesoro curiously observed the Roger Pirates' crew members, noting the various sky island seashells they used, while Stella and Savi helped arrange the food.

Enel sat somewhat reservedly next to Roy, looking at the group of pirates with a mixture of curiosity and awe.

Soon, members of the two pirate crews were sitting together, and the sounds of clinking glasses, laughter, and conversation once again echoed under the Golden Bell.

Roger, carrying a large barrel of liquor, walked up to Roy, handed him a wooden cup, and generously filled it to the brim.

"Kid, come have a drink. You managed to get close to mastering Conqueror's Haki in the middle of a fight."

"I've been sailing for so many years, and I've hardly seen any!"

"I must also thank Captain Roger for his guidance."

Roy tilted his head back and downed the drink in one gulp, feeling the burning sensation in his throat, and let out a pleasant sigh of relief.

Rayleigh also came over with a wine glass, sat down next to Roy, and looked at him with admiration in his eyes.

"Not only is your Conqueror's Haki active, but the combination of your swordsmanship, Devil Fruit ability, and Haki is also very innovative. It seems that you have not wasted these past few years."

"Mr. Rayleigh, on the high seas, you'll die if you don't strive to become stronger, and I've also found a group of reliable partners."

Roy smiled, his gaze sweeping over his companions, his tone filled with pride.

Jabba, Sambell, and others also joined in drinking contests with Barrett and the others, creating a lively and harmonious atmosphere.

Bucky, pulling Shanks along, sneaks closer to Pea, filled with curiosity about this Pea who resembles Roy and possesses amazing abilities.

"Hey Shanks, did you see that? This guy's got a lot of weird stuff hidden in his pocket."

Pea didn't mind, and took out a handful of seeds from the storage bag, which ripened a large amount of food.

Replenish supplies to keep the banquet running fast.

This scene once again brought cheers from the Roger Pirates.

The two sides exchanged their experiences in battle and talked about their observations on the high seas.

The members of the Roy Pirates also benefited greatly from the valuable experience and legendary stories they heard from these seniors.

Enel carefully ate the fruits unique to Sky Island, listening to the conversations of the powerful figures around him, feeling as if he were in a dream world.

He glanced at Roy beside him, his heart filled with gratitude and admiration. It was this man who had given him strength and led him to see a wider world.

The atmosphere of the banquet grew increasingly lively, and the moonlight shone on the ancient ruins, illuminating the laughing faces around the campfire.

Pirates from two different eras forged a unique friendship on this sky island through a thrilling sparring match.

Roger, his face flushed from drinking, stood up, raised his enormous glass, and shouted to everyone:

"To meet! To fight! To this vast ocean—cheers!"

"Cheers!!!" Everyone raised their glasses, and cheers resounded through the sky.

After several rounds of drinks, the atmosphere became increasingly lively.

Roger, with his arm around Roy's shoulder, looked at him with unusually bright eyes, a hint of drunkenness in his voice.

"Roy, what are your plans next? How about joining us for a cruise? There are so many interesting places to explore on this ocean!"

Reilly smiled and looked over, seemingly pleased with the proposal.

Roy was almost moved by Roger's sincerity.

She truly lives up to her reputation as a succubus of the sea, pursued by both Shiki and Garp, radiating an astonishingly infectious charm.

Traveling with Roger's pirate crew would undoubtedly be an excellent opportunity to quickly improve one's strength and see the vast world.

But looking at his companions—

Barrett, with his wild eyes and thirst for more challenges,

Hawkeye, who seeks the ultimate in swordsmanship and needs to clash with more powerful opponents,

Tesoro and Enel have just gained their abilities and are eager to familiarize themselves with and develop them, while Stella, Savi, and Pea need more experience.

"Thank you for your kindness, Captain Roger, but we still have our own path to walk. My companions need more training to find our own adventure."

"One day, we will meet you all again at the top of this ocean!"

Then, we'll have a real, all-out battle!

These words, spoken with conviction, brought a brief silence to the noisy banquet.

The members of Roger's Pirates looked at the blond boy before them, whose eyes burned with intensity and whose aura was awe-inspiring.

It was as if I were seeing Roger from many years ago, equally spirited and determined to conquer this sea.

"Hahaha!! Well said!!"

"You've got ambition! I've been waiting for that day! Let's see what kind of mess you bunch of kids can make of this ocean!"

Roger was not upset by the rejection; instead, he burst into an even more unrestrained laugh.

Rayleigh patted Roy's back hard, adjusted his glasses, and smiled with immense relief and anticipation.

"Looks like we old guys can really start looking forward to the future. Roy, take your friends and go explore!"

Upon hearing Roy's words, Barrett's fighting spirit intensified, and he took a large bite of his flesh.

Hawkeye paused slightly as he wiped the black knife, a barely perceptible smile curving his lips.

Tesoro and the others were also deeply moved, thrilled by the captain's courage and his trust in his crew.

Enel clenched his fists tightly, his little face full of determination, and he secretly vowed to become stronger as soon as possible so as not to hold everyone back!

"For the new era!!" Roger raised his glass again.

"For the new era!!!" Everyone raised their glasses in response once again, this time with a louder voice, filled with anticipation and passion for the future!

The banquet lasted all night, until the sky began to lighten.

After Roy regained consciousness, he shook his dizzy head, having been force-fed all night.

Even with Roy's current physical condition, he's having trouble with it.

Looking around, he took a glass of water from Stella, tilted his head back and drank it down. He noticed that the Roger Pirates were still there, but a few people were missing.

"Where are Stella, Roger, and Rayleigh?"

"They went deeper into the ruins half an hour ago, as if they were looking for something."

Roy looked in the direction Stella was pointing and understood.

Roger and his crew must have gone to find the Poneglyph that contains information about Poseidon.

Thoughts raced through his mind, fragments of memories surfacing about Roger's terminal illness and impending death.

According to the original timeline, after the Roger Pirates completed their voyage and disbanded, Roger would surrender to the Navy and usher in the Great Pirate Era in Loguetown.

Roy stroked his chin, a complex emotion in his eyes. Should he tell Roger? His time was running out.

Even if he did explain, he couldn't account for the source of his information, as it was far too shocking.

Roy's mind was a mess. "Oh well, let's just take it one step at a time."

He put down his water glass and got up to walk deeper into the ruins.
