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

Piloted by Stella, Ark Proverb rose steadily to the surface with the deep ocean currents.

"Depth three thousand meters... two thousand meters... one thousand meters..."

"About to rise!"

Stella's voice came through the radio.

Roy also came out of his meditation, and everyone's eyes were focused on the seawater above their heads, which was gradually turning white.

"Pop—!"

With a clear sound, the coating broke through the sea surface first, and then the entire golden-red giant ship suddenly leaped out of the sea, bringing up a spray of water.

"Wow! We're out!" Savi was the first to rush to the bow of the boat, opening his arms to welcome the long-awaited sunshine and sea breeze.

Enel and Pea excitedly ran over and imitated Savi by opening their arms.

Charon was also visiting the surface of the sea for the first time. He looked at the azure sky and white clouds with curiosity. The sight, so different from the deep sea, filled him with wonder.

"Is this...the surface of the sea?"

Roy stood at the bow of the ship, his long golden hair flying in the sea breeze.

Take a deep breath and feel the unique, wilder, and richer atmosphere of the New World seas.

"Welcome to the new world, everyone."

Barrett crossed his arms, a battle-ready grin spreading across his face. "Finally here? Let's see what worthy opponents we have!"

Hawkeye silently walked to the side of the ship, his sharp gaze sweeping across the vast sea, seemingly searching for a swordsman worthy of a fight.

However, the "welcome ceremony" of the new world was far faster and more intense than they had imagined.

Almost the instant the Ark Maxim was completely stable on the sea surface, the originally clear sky suddenly changed color!

Thick, dark clouds spread rapidly.

"Sudden weather change! Air pressure is dropping rapidly! Severe convective weather is forming! It's happening so fast..."

Before Stella could finish speaking, the three little Savis pointed to the sky.

"Boss... Boss... It's raining, it's raining heavily."

"Bang bang bang—!"

Almost the instant Savi finished shouting, raindrops the size of houses—or rather, clumps of water—slammed into the sea, splashing up several meters high.

"Is this the new world?!"

Hawkeye crouched down, his black sword swirling behind him, and unleashed a spinning slash that shattered the water droplets above his head.

Barrett was surrounded by wind blades, and with a wave of his hands, the scattered raindrops were blown away.

"Oh! Brother Mihawk and Brother Barrett are so awesome..."

Enel, Savi, and Pea were cheering around the two when, before they could finish speaking, the situation in the air changed.

"What the hell? Why are they playing ice hockey now?!"

Tesoro, having replenished the energy for the Ark Maxim, arrived on the deck only to see hailstones the size of houses falling.

"It's not over yet!"

Roy waved his hands, creating a protective shield in the air. His Observation Haki detected an increasingly chaotic energy gathering in the sky.

The hailstorm lasted for less than a minute before abruptly stopping.

But then, a flurry of snowflakes began to fall, and the sudden drop in temperature caused frost to form on the deck.

One moment it's torrential rain and hail, the next it's a blizzard.

This strange weather change caught everyone off guard except for Roy and Stella.

"Is this... the weather in the new world?"

Charon stared in disbelief at the deck instantly covered in ice and snow. The deep sea, though dangerous, was far from having such unpredictable weather.

After the blizzard, the dark clouds in the sky instantly dispersed, and the scorching sun poured down. The high temperature caused the ice and snow on the deck to melt rapidly, and a large amount of white mist rose up.

The metal hull emitted a "sizzling" sound as it was subjected to alternating hot and cold temperatures.

However, this brief period of clear weather lasted for less than thirty seconds.

"Boom—!"

A thick bolt of lightning struck the sea not far from the Ark's Proverb without warning, sending up a towering column of water.

The wind howled again, this time bringing scorching air and... a fist-sized ball of fire?!

"Fire...fire rain?!"

Pea stared wide-eyed at the small, burning fireballs falling from the sky.

Hail, blizzard, scorching sun, thunderstorms, fire rain... a variety of extreme weather events unfolded in just a few minutes, turning this sea area into a chaotic inferno.

The Ark Proverb was violently tossed about in the raging weather, enduring impacts from all directions.

Suddenly, the entire sea split open, and the Ark of Proverbs, which was sailing, began to descend rapidly.

"So this is the rule of the new world! It tells us in the most direct way that here—there are no rules, only strength!"

Only then can we conquer the sea and dominate the world!

Barrett and Hawkeye, who were standing nearby, nodded in deep agreement.

The ship was towed into the air by telekinesis, and after a day of flight, it finally escaped the chaotic sea.

Everyone took the opportunity to rest.

Charon stood by the ship, gazing at the sea gradually returning to its azure hue.

My heart is filled with emotion. As Grandpa Dan once said, the sea is vast and boundless, but it is also fraught with danger.

Seeing him today, I know what he said was true. That feeling of helplessness in the face of natural disasters only strengthened his resolve to follow Roy and become stronger.

"How are you feeling?"

"Very...shocking."

"On Fishman Island, I thought my strength was already quite good, but after witnessing your power, I realized that I am still far from it."

"Haha, recognizing your own shortcomings is the first step to becoming stronger. That's how the world is; only by being strong enough can you obtain or protect everything you cherish."

Roy pointed his finger at Charon's forehead, transmitting his understanding of domineering aura and physical techniques to him.

After Charon recovered, he smiled and said,

"Next, Barrett will train you to master the Six Powers of the Navy and Haki as quickly as possible. Don't neglect your Fish-Man Karate either."

The battles to come won't wait for you to grow stronger.

"Yes, boss!"

Just as Charon was still excited about the cultivation method he had obtained.

On the lookout tower, Savi, who was on guard duty, suddenly sounded the alarm.

"Boss! There's a pirate ship at three o'clock! It has a flag we've never seen before!"

Savi's shout immediately alerted everyone, and they all rushed to the ship's side to look.

A medium-sized ship, with a skull painted on its sails and crossed bone claws in the background, was sailing menacingly toward the Ark Proverbs.

"It's the 'Blood Claw' Pirates under the Golden Lion's command!"

Stella glanced at the enemy's flag and quickly flipped through the intelligence in her hand.

"Captain 'Bonebreaker' Buzz, with a bounty of 120 million Berries, is a notorious ruthless guy who reportedly enjoys crushing his opponents' bones one by one."

"One hundred and twenty million? We've only just entered the New World and we've already encountered this kind of scum?"

Tesoro raised an eyebrow, his tone tinged with disdain. Having experienced a battle with a Marine Admiral, their perspectives were no longer what they used to be.

Barrett grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth: "Perfect timing. I was really annoyed by the weather earlier, so this is a good way to stretch my muscles."
