After a week.
Location: West Blue, Ohara.
Event: First day of the new One Piece manga update.
Summit War Saga: Sabaody Archipelago Arc.
...
Inside the research room in the Tree of Knowledge, the sacred place for archaeologists here, the noise suddenly stopped as the eldest professor entered, struggling to catch his breath.
"It's coming..."
"I think so too..."
The young archaeologists whispered familiar words to each other because they already knew what was coming.
It was all too familiar to them.
They had been living the same day every month for four years, so naturally, they would know what was coming immediately after the elder Professor Clover, who was struggling to breathe due to his advanced age, took a rest.
"Stop what you're all doing! Everyone! Come here!" Professor Clover shouted happily.
"All of you! Put everything in your hands aside!" Professor Clover continued shouting loudly so that everyone could hear him, even those who were currently in the bathroom.
"What's happening, Professor? Is it here? Update da"
"Stop, Roche! Don't steal my lines... Yes, it's manga update day..." The severe expression on Clover's face changed to a smiling one. It seemed that these men were so accustomed to this day that everything about it had become familiar to them.
"It's finally here!"
As soon as Clover's voice fell, happy cheers echoed inside the Tree of Knowledge, and groups of archaeologists eagerly headed towards the nearby art store.
They had to hurry because it would soon be crowded with people.
"Is it that arc about the Sabaody Archipelago, right, Professor?" Former Celestial Dragon and current famous archaeologist, Donquixote Homing, looked at Clover with a gentle smile and asked.
He was very interested in this arc because he had lived in the Sabaody Archipelago for a long time... It was like a home to him, where he lived when he was young.
"Hahaha! It seems you're somewhat interested in the new arc, Homing... Oh, I suppose as a former Celestial Dragon, the Sabaody Archipelago was a favorite place for you to relax, wasn't it?" Professor Clover laughed and then asked.
"Yes, you're right. The Sabaody Archipelago is a wonderful place. Being a former Celestial Dragon, I lived there for some time. I wonder what Rob-san will reveal about this place in his new volume."
After that, both Professor Clover and Homing followed the excited crowd of archaeologists, all heading toward the art store.
Professor Clover refused to open his volume until he met up with his friends Brook, Vegapunk, and Saul.
...
Far away in the New World, precisely on the Giants Island of Elbaf:
"It seems we've appeared in the manga again, Oimo."
One of the giants looked at the first page of the manga he saw when he opened it and exclaimed in surprise to his companion beside him.
"Yes, I see that we're finally leaving Water 7, Kashii."
"Oh... We appeared on the cover. I thought we were part of the chapter's events, Oimo."
"No, as you can see from the chapter's title above the poster we appeared in, 'On the road again'... This chapter's title refers to us and the Straw Hats at the same time, Kashii."
Dorry, Brogy, Hajrudin, Stansen, and Gerd all looked at Oimo and Kashii, who seemed disappointed because they weren't part of the chapter's events, but only on the cover.
"Gyagagagaga! Why do you look disappointed, guys? In One Piece, even appearing on the cover is a sign of fame!" Dorry laughed loudly before speaking.
"Kababababa! Dorry is right. Look at us, we haven't appeared in the manga for a long time!" This time it was Brogy who laughed.
"...It seems you're returning to Elbaf in the manga..."
"In the future, the Straw Hat Pirates will definitely reach Elbaf, and that will be our true appearance, with a specific purpose."
This time, the elder of the giant village, Jarul, spoke.
...
Not far from them, Katakuri and Perospero were reading the manga with a few giant children who managed to win their favor, especially after announcing that they belonged to the unknown organization that brings them manga volumes.
Naturally, both Dorry and Brogy have known the Big Mom's children for a long time, but they received orders from Rob not to interfere in their affairs until they show hostile intentions.
And that's what the two giants happily accepted.
Rob promised them to open an art store here today, after all.
...
Returning to Ohara:
Rob, who had just released the new volume, was inside his private office in the art store.
He was reviewing the first chapter of the new arc, which directly connected to the previous "Strong World" arc, which was supposed to be FLR instead of the original "Thriller Bark."
"I don't think it could be any better than this..."
Rob murmured to himself as he saw the scene he had added spontaneously.
In the opening scene of the arc, Luffy and his Nakama had changed their clothes from the ones they wore in the Golden Lion's hideout to new outfits resembling the ones they wore in Thriller Bark.
He did this to avoid confusing the readers, as it would appear as if the arcs were truly linked to each other.
"That's good, the final touch here is excellent," Rob said while re-reading the first chapter.
"One Piece" Events:
"Luffy, Are you sure?"
After changing out of her revealing outfit from their previous journey in Merveille, Nami approached Luffy and asked a question she hadn't mustered the courage to ask during their previous ordeal.
The question was about Ace.
"Hm?" Luffy turned to Nami, remembering something. "Ah... about Ace's paper?"
"It's fine, don't worry," said Luffy.
"Luffy-san, I don't mind taking an alternate route! So far, there's no need to worry about how long Laboon has been waiting. 'Live on'! 'Let's meet'! That's what's important!" Brook said while playing his violin.
"Uwooh~~~! Let's go meet that huge whale!" Franky exclaimed with excitement.
"Luffy, we don't mind taking a detour," shouted Usopp and Chopper.
They were planning to return to the East Blue to save their hometown, so why not postpone their journey for a little while to rescue their captain's brother who was in trouble somewhere in the Grand Line?
"No, it's really fine!"
"Besides, even if he were in trouble, there'd be no use worrying about it every time. Moreover, Ace hates being looked down upon as if he were weak," Luffy continued.
"If I go, I won't be able to do anything. The next time we meet, we'll be enemy pirates."
"For Ace, that's his adventure."
Zoro and Robin smiled upon hearing these mature and responsible words from their captain, knowing that he was pushing himself not to worry.
...
In a certain place on the seas of the New World:
"Heh~ Luffy has become more mature after dealing with a pirate of the caliber of Shiki," Roger smiled after hearing what Luffy said about Ace's condition.
"Everyone has their own adventures, facing their own difficulties with their own strength... I like that. Luffy values Ace a lot... to the point that he realizes Ace would be angry if he went to rescue him," Roger added while drinking Sake.
"But without Luffy's intervention... will he be saved, our child?" Rouge replied with concern.
"Well, we don't know if Luffy will intervene or not, but we do know that Whitebeard will definitely intervene."
"I suppose Ace will be the centerpiece of all this... what they call 'the summit war'..."
...
"... Did you say Bullet is here?"
"More specifically, the Ship of the Hunters Guild is here. Bullet, as a legendary hunter, is the captain of the ship."
"Why are you telling me this? Let him come aboard the Oro Jackson. Today we shall have a feast! Wahahahaha!"
Roger laughed after saying that.
"That's a logical reason to have a feast. You defeated me, Captain."
