East Blue!
Blue sky, white clouds, fair wind and beautiful sun!
On a vast expanse of sea, a huge ship, whose bow was decorated with a giant fish head, and whose hull was divided into three layers.
This ship was very different from other ships; its shape resembled a house floating on the sea.
At the same time, the words "Baratie" were written on the side of the hull.
Baratie was the best gourmet restaurant in the East Blue, and also a relief station for shipwrecked sailors.
But these past two days, the restaurant had been very chaotic because a 'waiter' who made people grit their teeth had arrived!
"Bastard!! Don't eat the customers' food!"
"Ah ah ah! My freshly made spicy Sea Kings leg!"
Several chefs were angrily watching a guy who was innocently eating a large piece of Sea Kings leg meat, which he had bitten off.
This new odd-job worker was infuriating; all the dishes he was supposed to serve ended up in his own stomach, not even a crumb left.
"You... were you starved to death in your last life?!"
The curly-browed, blond young man was also exasperated, wishing he could beat this Straw Hat to death.
The meal he had just prepared was also directly gulped down in one go, which was absolutely outrageous!
"Burp."
Straw Hat patted his stomach and grinned expectantly: "You're Sanji, right? Your cooking is too delicious. Come be my companion!"
"You're dreaming!!"
Sanji, suppressing the urge to hit him, exhaled a puff of smoke. He couldn't do anything about this guy and could only turn around to continue cooking.
If it weren't for Straw Hat being skinny, and besides his idiotic gluttony, having a decent personality, and upholding the idea of not bullying children, he would have kicked this bastard to death long ago!
"I'm so hungry, I want meat..."
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Straw Hat Luffy continued to clamor, completely oblivious to his duties as a waiter, and very self-righteously!
Having just secretly eaten enough meat for a dozen people, Luffy claimed he was only a third full, and his little expression was full of grievance.
"With this guy around, the restaurant will go out of business sooner or later..."
Sanji's veins bulged as he listened, and the spatula in his hand was crushed a bit.
"I'm so hungry, I want meat!!"
A certain Straw Hat was still jumping around in the kitchen, and the chefs had murderous looks on their faces.
"I officially inform you, you're fired, get out!"
With a sharp gaze towards Luffy, Sanji, unable to bear it any longer, kicked him!
"Bang!!"
Luffy shot out of the kitchen like a cannonball, flying directly towards a corner of the living room outside the kitchen!
"..."
The three-sword green-haired man, the long-nosed youth, and the orange-haired beautiful girl watched Luffy crash to the ground, none of them moving to help him, some even wanting to kick him a couple of times.
"Here we go again, can't Luffy ever be quiet?"
Zoro, Usopp, and Nami were utterly speechless.
Kicked over a dozen times a day, and after several days, he still hadn't learned his lesson.
If this continued, they wouldn't be able to leave here for years.
"It's been days, are we just going to stay here?"
Usopp hung his head, involuntarily glancing at the sky outside, and said in a heavy tone: "It'll be dark in a few hours, and the terrifying Demon King will descend again, but my strength hasn't recovered yet. How can I save this world?"
"You're too bored, there's no such thing as a Demon King!"
Nami rolled her eyes, beautiful and annoyed, while her peripheral vision occasionally scanned the Going Merry outside. Her face showed nothing, but her heart was full of schemes.
"The Moon, ah, if that's heaven, I'll fight my way up there sooner or later!"
Looking at the newspaper headline, Zoro, who was determined to make his name resound throughout heaven, grinned, his eyes filled with fervent determination.
"I really am..."
Looking at the long-nosed liar, the overconfident green-haired man, and the brain-dead rubber man, Nami felt increasingly hopeless about her future.
"Heaven? Belle-Mere, will you be there?"
With a heavy heart, Nami looked at the newspaper headline and fell into thought, her beautiful eyes revealing sadness.
In the two-dimensional world, the speed of information dissemination surpasses internet speed, surpasses light speed!
Not to mention major events that affect the entire globe, even shocking everyone in the Blue Sea.
Newspaper Headline: Is there anyone on the Moon? Hell or Heaven?
The Moon in the Pirate World is big and round, and in recent days, many people have seen exploding mushroom clouds on the Moon at night, astonishing too many people!
It was as if someone was bombing the Moon; every night, there would be explosions for several hours.
Many people worried that if this continued, the Moon might actually completely explode.
And the most incredible thing was that the night before last, on the night of the full moon... an incredibly magnificent humanoid phantom rose from the Moon, like a supreme deity displaying his might!
The humanoid phantom covered an extremely vast area, as if the immense Moon itself was tiny before its figure. The only thing clearly visible were those peerless, domineering eyes.
Like the gaze of a god, it made everyone dare not meet its gaze.
Fearing that the phantom might, without warning, punch towards the Blue Sea, causing the world to collapse!
Once such an unimaginable event occurred, the world erupted that very night!
The next day, the entire globe was stunned!
The Four Seas trembled!
The Grand Line trembled!
Mary Geoise trembled!
All Marines, pirates, the Revolutionary Army, various kingdoms, the World Government, etc., were all alarmed, all shaken by the magnificent figure rising from the Moon!
Is there really someone on the Moon? Were these days' explosions man-made?
Too many people affirmed this, sparking unprecedented discussions, but none of that mattered anymore!
The most important thing was, whose was that incredibly magnificent phantom, whose were those awe-inspiring, domineering eyes?
Was the phantom a god or a demon?
Was the Moon hell or heaven?
And at this moment!
On the Moon,
What appeared to be barren land was actually permeated with a chilling aura.
A majestic, domineering, luxurious throne floated in mid-air, upon which sat an extraordinarily handsome man.
His opulent black robe was adorned with moon markings, mysterious and noble!
From afar, the man exuded a god-like majesty, with a background of a starry river outlined by countless stars, making him appear incomparably grand!
And below, countless small robots, densely packed, all wore solemn, stern expressions.
In front of the robots stood over a dozen strange-shaped, uniquely featured creatures.
"After waiting so long, we can finally begin!"
The man on the throne spoke in a deep, magnetic voice that echoed across the moon.
His profound eyes calmly gazed at the projection before him. Upon closer inspection, the projection displayed a scene not far from the Baratie... a dilapidated ship was speeding, with a small boat drifting behind it, all very clear.
"Anas, go and invite that person over!"
"As you command, My Lord Shaiya!"
