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

The group quickly went into the cabin of the White Dove.

Seeing Tezzolo blocking the doorway, Pea shoved him aside, even though everyone on the ship was like family.

But from beginning to end, Roy was closest to the pea.

Several people filed into the room. At this moment, the bed under Roy was floating in mid-air. Barrett stepped forward and pressed the bed down. Roy, who was lying on the bed, had a furrowed brow, his body was trembling slightly, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

An invisible wave swirled around him, and it was this wave that caused the strange phenomena in the outside world.

"Roy's mental state is very unstable right now."

Hawkeye said in a deep voice, drawing his long sword. He had to react immediately if there were any signs of things getting out of control, so as to prevent any accidents from happening to the weaker members of the group.

"Boss!"

"Wake up!"

Tesoro's voice entered Roy's mind, which seemed to guide Roy's consciousness, instantly breaking through the surrounding darkness and allowing him to sense the connection to his body.

Just then, Roy suddenly opened his eyes!

What eyes they were!

Deep within his jet-black pupils, swirled and shone with a sharp light, so intense that upon closer inspection, it seemed as if one could draw one's soul into them.

The initial confusion upon waking was quickly replaced by his surroundings. Seeing his companions appear beside him, he felt relieved, and the scattered spiritual energy instantly returned to his body.

The floating objects outside fell to the ground with a series of crackling sounds.

"Cough cough..."

Roy coughed lightly and struggled to sit up, a wave of pain making him frown.

"Don't move!"

"Your injuries haven't fully healed yet, lie down first."

Stella immediately stepped forward to support him, her tone tinged with reproach, but mostly with joy.

Pea quickly came over and placed her little hand directly on Roy's chest, and another ball of life energy flowed into Roy's body.

Roy lay down and looked at his companions, a warm feeling and a sense of guilt welling up inside him.

"I'm sorry to have worried everyone."

"This time... I was too impulsive and dragged everyone down with me."

Barrett grinned and patted his chest.

"Hmph, enough of this nonsense! We're comrades! Forget about dragging each other down! It's enough that we fought our way out alive together!"

"And, hehe, I actually made quite a bit of money this time!"

Barrett then raised his right hand.

Roy looked at the black and red lightning on Barrett's fist. Although it wasn't stable yet, it was definitely wrapped in Conqueror's Haki.

A genuine smile appeared on his pale face; this was undoubtedly one of the best pieces of news after this fierce battle.

"Well done, Barrett!"

Hawkeye nodded slightly in approval. Although he had not yet mastered the technique of Conqueror's Haki Entanglement, breaking through to the level of a Great Swordsman had opened up a whole new world for his swordsmanship, and his strength was now vastly different from before.

A hint of envy and determination flashed in Tesoro's eyes. He clenched his fist and secretly vowed to improve his strength.

Roy nodded, feeling gratified. Every life-or-death ordeal is a catalyst for growth.

"How long have I been unconscious?" Roy asked the crucial question.

"Five days," Hawkeye said succinctly.

"Five days..." Roy murmured. It seemed he had indeed overdrawn his energy this time, but he had also gained immense benefits. Not only had his mental strength increased significantly, but his development of his Devil Fruit ability had also made further progress.

The surge in mental power amplified the enhancement of Observation Haki to an alarming degree.

Roy has no idea how wide the range of his Observation Haki has become.

The time to predict the future has also increased to about one minute.

After waking up, Roy, nourished by the continuous life energy of the peas and carefully cared for by his companions,

His body was recovering at an astonishing rate; his already formidable physique, combined with the increased mental power that allowed him to control himself more precisely,

This allowed him to get out of bed and move around freely after just one day, instead of having to stay in bed for several more days.

According to Stella, the materials for the ship have been prepared and construction has begun. The new ship is expected to set sail in three months.

The Seven Waters City is now calm and peaceful.

Neither the World Government nor the Navy seems to be paying attention to this famous shipbuilding city, perhaps because the losses in the Battle of Sabaody have left them with no time to spare.

Or perhaps it was because Tom's studio was in a remote location that Roy and his group were able to rest and recuperate in peace.

The cabin of the White Dove was temporarily converted into a temporary conference room, where Roy, Barrett, Hawkeye, Tesorostella and others sat together, while Savi, Enel and Pea listened in from the side.

"Our current location is safe for the time being."

Stella reported on the intelligence she had gathered from the city.

"The Navy Headquarters' focus is currently on the reconstruction of the Sabaody Archipelago. Although the bounty for us has been increased, large-scale manhunt operations have not yet spread here."

"Hmph, they're smart to know what's good for them."

"Next time we meet, I'll definitely show them what I'm capable of!"

Barrett clenched his fist, his knuckles cracking, clearly dissatisfied with his humiliating escape after being beaten.

Tesoro remained silent. The battle at Sabaody made him realize his shortcomings, and the potential of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit was far from being fully realized.

He toyed with a gold coin in his hand, arcs of electricity dancing on his fingertips, sometimes coalescing, sometimes dispersing.

Hawkeye wiped his black sword "Night," his expression as calm as ever, but occasionally a hint of inquiry flickered in his eyes as he looked at Roy.

He could feel that after Roy woke up, the invisible pressure emanating from him was even stronger, especially his eyes, which were so deep that they seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.

Roy took in everyone's expressions and slowly began to speak:

"Although we narrowly escaped death this time, it made us realize the gap between us and the Navy's top combat forces, which is a good thing. Besides, we also gained quite a bit of benefit, didn't we?"

"And... we can't stay here any longer," Roy said, changing the subject.

"Although the Navy is currently preoccupied with Sabaody Archipelago, after these past few days, they should have begun searching for our whereabouts."

"Besides, since we plundered Adamwood in such a high-profile manner, the Navy should be able to guess our purpose, and it's only a matter of time before they find this place."

Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing Roy's analysis.

"So, what's our next step?"

In the end, Tesoro couldn't hold back any longer and asked the first question.

"Let's make some preparations first, then leave Water Seven and find out if there are any uninhabited islands nearby. We can go there to rest and wait for the ship to be built. This will also help us avoid the navy's search and prevent them from interfering with the ship's construction."

"This will also allow me to process the improvements I gained from this battle."

"Yes, Boss/Captain!" everyone responded in unison.

"Therefore, our primary task for the next period of time is to improve our strength and ensure that the 'Ark Maxim' can be successfully completed."

Roy concluded, "Once the new ship is launched, we'll head to the New World, where several great battles await us!"
