After this.
With the help of Makarov and Gildarts, the Red Line was completely destroyed. With the Red Line gone, the Four Seas were finally connected into one. Thus, the One Piece was formed.
Tenrou Island.
"Next is the problem of the seawater."
Mirajane spoke to Eden and the others, "I have accepted Imu's final request: to help solve the problem of this world's continuously rising sea levels, which could eventually submerge the entire surface."
"That's simple."
"Leave it to me, that will be enough..."
Eden thought for a moment before nodding.
"I can set up a giant magic circle on this planet to send all the seawater to the moon," Eden said, having a sudden idea.
"This way, when there are too many living beings on this planet, we can also choose to send emigrants to the moon."
Eden gave his own idea a thumbs-up.
"Send all the seawater from our planet to the moon?!"
"Is that something a human can really do?"
Lucy looked at Eden in shock and asked.
"I couldn't before, but I can now," Eden replied.
Indeed, the old Eden's magical power was still too weak...
But now, he was fully capable of it.
"It will take about a week to set up this formation completely."
"After we solve this planet's problem, we should head back to the Fairy Tail guild."
As Eden said this, a hint of longing flashed in his eyes.
"Indeed, it's time to go home!"
When Eden mentioned returning to Earth Land, to Ishgar, to the Kingdom of Fiore, to the Fairy Tail guild...
All the mages of the Fairy Tail guild present showed expressions of nostalgia. Everyone had been away for too long, and they were all starting to feel homesick.
"So, for this last week, let's all go and say our goodbyes," Eden said.
"We can't come back in the future?"
"What about Big Bro Kaido..."
"I still haven't become a man who can surpass Big Bro Kaido!"
"And Marine Headquarters..."
"I still haven't eliminated all the pirates in this world."
After Eden finished speaking...
Elfman, Erza, and the others who had deep bonds with this world, all frowned.
"You can come back."
"In fact, a two-way teleportation formation is all it will take," Eden said with a smile, giving a thumbs-up.
"You should have said so earlier!"
Everyone looked at the grinning Eden and roared in unison.
With Eden's guarantee, the mages of the Fairy Tail guild were finally at ease.
Over the next week.
Elfman returned to the Beasts Pirates where Kaido was.
"Master Kaido, I'm going back to Earth Land!"
Elfman and Kaido hugged each other tightly, crying loudly.
"Worororo..."
"This world is indeed too small for you, Elfman."
"You are heading to a bigger stage."
Kaido patted Elfman's shoulder forcefully, wiping away his tears as he spoke.
"But I'll be back soon!"
"I told you, I'll plant crops all over this world with you!"
"When that day is truly accomplished, Master Kaido, you must come with me to Earth Land! To a bigger stage..."
Elfman extended an invitation to Kaido and threw out his fist.
"It's a promise."
Seeing this, Kaido didn't hesitate and threw his own fist towards Elfman. Their basin-sized fists collided forcefully with a loud boom.
Shanks's Territory.
"Sorry!"
"I originally wanted to spare the lives of your father and brother, but they were absorbed by that Imu fellow," Gildarts said helplessly, sitting beside Shanks.
"Hahaha..."
"It's alright!"
"Even if you had spared them, I wouldn't have let them go."
Shanks's eyes were exceptionally firm. He would never allow those two beasts to run rampant on these seas.
"Shanks, if you get the chance, come to our world!"
"That world is much vaster than this one."
Gildarts said, pointing to his own face seriously, "Someone like me, in the vast, boundless world of Earth Land, wouldn't even last a single exchange against the real monsters."
"You saw it before. My left arm, left leg, and half my chest were all shattered."
"And the monster that beat me to near death did it with just one blow."
"We even fled to this world just to escape that guy's pursuit."
Gildarts's expression was incredibly serious.
"By your logic, if we really did cross over, wouldn't we just be waiting to die?!"
Shanks's eye twitched. He couldn't comprehend what kind of being could instantly defeat Gildarts.
After all, Gildarts was the man who had defeated their Celestial Dragon king, Imu, who had been invincible for eight hundred years.
"It's fine, our world is huge."
"That guy seems to have a bad sense of direction," Gildarts said with a chuckle after a moment of thought.
Indeed, the man who had set out to complete the 100 Years Quest on the northern continent of Guiltina, only to get lost and end up on a sacred mountain in Ishgar...
And upon encountering Acnologia on the mountain and mistaking him for one of the Five Dragon Gods, had the audacity to call Acnologia the one with a bad sense of direction.
"Newgate! We of Fairy Tail are leaving!"
"You're welcome to be a guest in the Kingdom of Fiore!"
Before leaving, Makarov naturally sought out 'Whitebeard' Edward Newgate.
Makarov and Newgate, two old men who respected each other, drank and talked grandly, extending mutual invitations.
"When the time comes, I'll drink every last drop of your prized liquor, you old geezer!"
"You'd better be prepared for it!" Edward Newgate said with a laugh, clapping Makarov on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, old geezer..." Makarov laughed heartily, seeming not to take Newgate's words to heart.
"Also, don't you die on me, old geezer..."
Then, Makarov's playful tone vanished. He looked at Newgate seriously and said earnestly.
"I know, I know!"
"You're just like my stupid sons, always worrying needlessly."
"I can easily live for another hundred years," Newgate said, waving his hand dismissively at Makarov. "Who do you think I am? I'm 'Whitebeard' Edward Newgate."
Marine Headquarters, Marineford.
"If you two leave now, the Navy's fighting strength will be severely insufficient," Fleet Admiral Sakazuki said in his office, personally trying to persuade Erza and Borsalino to stay.
There was no other choice. With the World Government suddenly gone, the Navy's finances were facing a severe challenge.
So much so that...
"What do you mean the Navy can't pay?!"
Yes, Freed, Bickslow, and Evergreen had planned to take down a few wanted criminals before leaving this world to pay back the one hundred million they owed Nami.
Then, the Thunder Legion discovered that the Navy was currently unable to cover such expenses.
"Sorry!"
"For the sake of global stability right now."
"Fleet Admiral Kong, former Fleet Admiral Sengoku, Admiral Zephyr, Head Instructor Garp, and Chief of Staff Tsuru have formed a temporary supreme council for the World Government."
"Until the World Government is completely reorganized, we really don't have any extra money to pay out."
The Marine soldier repeatedly apologized to the Thunder Legion.
On a side note, the reorganized World Government had transformed from its original autocratic structure into an organization where kings, presidents, and leaders from various countries around the world would deliberate and make decisions on major events through voting.
The Navy and the World Government were only responsible for maintaining safety on the seas and executing the missions decided by the collective vote of the kings, not for participating in any opinions.
In addition, there was another major event.
"The Revolutionary Army has been disbanded!"
Dragon shouldered his bag and left Baltigo. He looked up at the azure sky, unsure of what he should do.
Perhaps, for the Revolutionary Army, the saddest thing in the world was that before they had a chance to start the revolution, the World Government had already fallen.
They were too late to the revolution.
Someone else had already finished it.
"Buru Buru Buru..."
Just as Dragon was wondering what to do, the Den Den Mushi by his side suddenly rang. Garp's furious roar came through.
"You idiot son!"
"Get back to the Marines right now!"
"The Navy's fighting strength is severely insufficient!"
"Go and fill the vacant Admiral position for me!"
Garp gave Dragon no chance to speak. After he finished, he hung up the Den Den Mushi directly.
The Navy was currently conducting a worldwide draft, not asking about your origins or what you did before.
As long as you have strength, come to the Marines!
Even if you were once an Emperor of the Sea, as long as you intend to fight for justice, the Navy will grant you a pardon.
This showed just how desperate Fleet Admiral Sakazuki was for manpower after Kuzan left the Navy, and Erza and Borsalino followed suit.
"The Marines, huh?"
"Now that the revolution is successful, it seems like a good idea to continue the path in the Navy that I couldn't finish before."
As Dragon spoke, he transformed into a gust of wind and disappeared from the island.
Fleet Admiral's Office.
"Huuu..."
Sakazuki silently smoked his cigar. In the end, he couldn't convince Erza and Borsalino to stay.
Erza was returning to Fairy Tail, and Borsalino was tired of being a Marine and wanted to live freely.
"Um, Fleet Admiral."
"There are some people outside applying for the Admiral position..."
Just as Sakazuki was silently smoking, the door to his office was pushed open forcefully, and a nervous Brannew walked in.
"Admirals?!"
"Let them in."
Hearing this, Sakazuki's interest was piqued. He stubbed out his cigar directly on his desk, picked up a cup of tea, and prepared to wet his throat.
"Hello..."
"The three of us are here to apply."
Then, Sakazuki saw Dragon, Sabo, and Kuma stride into his office.
"Pfft..."
Sakazuki looked at the number one, number two, and former number two of the Revolutionary Army. The tea he had just sipped sprayed out of his mouth.
"Are you kidding me?!"
"Are you trying to take over?! You bastards!"
"If the three of you become Admirals, will this Navy listen to me in the future, or to you, Dragon?!" Sakazuki roared at the shameless trio of Dragon, Sabo, and Kuma.
"We can listen to both," Dragon said after some thought.
"Get out!"
Sakazuki picked up his teacup and threw it at Dragon.
In short, perhaps because Garp mediated, or perhaps because Sakazuki was truly out of options.
In the end, Dragon got his wish and became an Admiral...
As for Sabo and Kuma, they became the new Admiral candidates.
In addition, the commanders of the Revolutionary Army also successively became Vice Admirals at Marine Headquarters.
It was basically a re-employment program for the Revolutionary Army.
Sakazuki thought: "I'm the Fleet Admiral, right?! But my word in the Navy now carries less weight than Dragon's."
Fortunately, after becoming an Admiral, Dragon finally did more than just sweat while reading the newspaper and actually started working.
Ahem...
Near Amazon Lily.
"Luffy."
"I've already gathered my companions first, defeated the World Government, and I'm planning to leave," Eden said with a smile, sitting on a stone stool, speaking to Luffy who had finally learned all three types of Haki and developed Gear Fourth after nearly a year.
"Yeah!"
"After I become the Pirate King, I'll come to Earth Land to find you," Luffy said, nodding at Eden.
"I'll be waiting for you."
Eden said, extending his fist towards Luffy.
"Bam~"
With a soft sound...
Eden's and Luffy's fists gently bumped.
"Speaking of which, everything I can teach you, I've already taught you."
"From now on, you'll have to figure things out for yourselves," Rayleigh said with a smile, sitting to the side, watching the incredibly friendly scene between Eden and Luffy.
"You've finished teaching us?!"
After Rayleigh spoke, Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, Franky, and Brook were all stunned.
Compared to Luffy, who had mastered all three types of Haki, Zoro and the others had only just grasped Armament and Observation Haki...
And aside from the most basic applications of Haki, they hadn't improved much beyond that.
"Hahaha..."
"Leave the rest to me!"
After Rayleigh's words fell, with a burst of wild laughter, Garp, clad in his coat of justice, made a grand entrance. He looked at Rayleigh and jeered, "You old geezer, you're still trying to teach others like me?! Teaching and training are completely different. Don't think teaching is so simple."
"That, I won't deny," Rayleigh said with a nod. He was indeed not very good at teaching.
"Eh?!"
"Grandpa!"
When Luffy saw Garp, he tensed up as if having a stress reaction.
"Grandpa?!"
The rest of the Straw Hat crew also just learned that Marine Vice Admiral Garp was Luffy's grandfather.
"Next..."
"All you bastards, give me a hundred times the effort!" Garp said, walking towards the Straw Hat crew with a big laugh.
"Oh right, Brook."
Eden seemed to have thought of something and beckoned to Brook.
"Hmm?!"
Brook walked over to Eden and said with a smile, "Mr. Eden, what can I do for you?"
"There's a girl who wants to see you."
As Eden spoke, he opened his personal space and threw Gunko out.
Yes, because of the isolation of Eden's space, Gunko had successfully avoided Imu's 'Holy Cleansing'.
Ahem.
"You are?!"
"How is this possible?"
When Brook saw the still-young Gunko, his soul shone brightly, his face a mask of disbelief.
"Brook, I missed you so much!" Gunko said, throwing herself into Brook's arms, her voice filled with emotion.
"Eh?!"
"When did you meet this great beauty?!"
"Damn it, Brook, fess up right now," Sanji shouted, rushing in front of Brook and demanding furiously after seeing Gunko's stunning beauty.
"Hehe."
"It's about time."
"I should be going."
Eden said, disappearing from the island in a flash.
As for Hancock?
Eden sent her a letter.
"Damn it! I want to leave with Fairy Tail too!"
"Even if I abandon Amazon Lily, the citizens won't hate me, right?"
"Because I am just too beautiful."
Hancock bit her finger as she read the joint letter from the Fairy Tail guild, her heart in a state of turmoil.
On one side was Fairy Tail, on the other were her people.
It seemed she couldn't give up either side.
"I need to hurry up and train my successor!"
After much thought, this was Hancock's decision.
A week passed in a flash.
Loguetown.
Yes, Eden set the coordinates for the world-crossing portal in Loguetown.
When he returned to the world of Earth Land, he would establish a gate that could traverse the two worlds.
Speaking of which, the method for building the gate was taught to him by Precht.
Indeed, having an elder in the family is like having a treasure.
"This should be fine, right?! Old Precht!"
After drawing the dimensional travel magic circle according to Precht's instructions, Eden asked him.
"Of course."
After checking the magic circle drawn by Eden several times, Precht nodded with a smile.
But in a place Eden didn't notice, a dark light flickered in Precht's eyes. He thought to himself, "Kid, don't blame this old man! With your current power, returning to Earth Land is suicide."
"If you all die, Mavis would be very sad, wouldn't she?!"
"I must take responsibility for Mavis."
Precht said silently in his heart.
"Everyone, come quickly!"
After finishing his work, Eden called out to everyone who had returned to Tenrou Island.
As Eden's voice fell.
Borsalino, Kuzan, Gajeel, Cana, Levy, and Panther Lily returned from Marineford, as well as Erza who had just challenged Mihawk...
Laxus and the Thunder Legion returned from Skypiea, and Mirajane and Lisanna returned from Fish-Man Island...
Elfman returned from the Beasts Pirates, Gildarts said goodbye to Red-Haired Shanks, and Makarov said goodbye to Whitebeard.
Natsu, Lucy, Happy, Wendy, and Carla returned from the World Economic Journal.
Nami returned from Cocoyasi Village, and Issho and Aramaki, who had remained on the island.
Aside from Nico Robin, who was at the World Government processing historical work, intending to thoroughly study all the materials and announce them to the world before returning to Fairy Tail, the entire Fairy Tail guild had assembled.
"Back to Fairy Tail!"
When everyone had returned to Tenrou Island, they held hands, formed a circle on the magic circle, and shouted loudly.
"Voom!!"
With a loud roar!
Tenrou Island and all the Fairy Tail members on it instantly vanished from the world of One Piece.
"Boom!"
At the same time.
In Loguetown, a giant dimensional portal began to rise.
On the other side.
When Tenrou Island once again returned to the world of Earth Land.
"We're back!"
Feeling the immense magical power in the surroundings, Eden knew he had returned to the world of Earth Land that he had longed for...
Eden looked up at the familiar blue sky, felt the familiar fluctuations of magic in the air, turned around, and smiled, "Everyone, we successfully made it back!"
However, when Eden turned around, what he saw was an empty clearing.
"Eh?!"
Seeing this, Eden froze on the spot, his eyes filled with confusion.
"Where... did everyone go?"
Eden muttered to himself.
A certain world.
Long ago, a demon fox with nine tails brought calamity to the world. When the fox swung its tails, mountains crumbled and the earth split.
A ninja sealed it away at the cost of his own life. His name was... the Fourth Hokage.
"Run, it's the Nine-Tails!"
"Hurry and report to the Hokage!"
"Save people! Hurry up and save the people!"
The entire village was thrown into chaos by the Nine-Tails' rampage. Innumerable ninjas shed blood, and the sounds of fire, despair, and screams echoed in every villager's ears.
In a place no one noticed.
"Fairy Tail, this old man is back..."
With a brilliant flash of light, a short old man appeared on the chaotic street. His originally excited face fell when he saw the chaotic world before him. He muttered to himself, "No matter how you look at it, this isn't Earth Land, is it? Where the hell am I?"
"I'll save people first."
The old man didn't hesitate. He began to do what he could, extinguishing flames and rescuing villagers who were awaiting or facing certain death from the collapsed houses.
"No, this isn't enough."
"I have to take down that fox."
The old man, or more accurately, the Third Guild Master of Fairy Tail, Makarov, looked at the creature known as a Tailed Beast that was causing continuous chaos and decided to personally step in and suppress it.
"BOOM!"
Just as Makarov was preparing to make his move, a giant toad fell from the sky, pinning the Nine-Tails to the ground.
"Voom!"
Then, with a spatial fluctuation, the Nine-Tails, the toad, and the person riding on the toad all disappeared from the spot.
"Spatial magic, just like Eden's?"
Seeing this, Makarov halted his actions. He now had experience in traveling to other worlds. Before he understood the situation of this world, it was best not to reveal his own strength too quickly.
