Screen 1
Inside the palace of Ryugu Palace, the atmosphere shifted from battle to something deeper—history.
Nico Robin sat calmly across from King Neptune, listening as he revealed truths hidden for centuries.
Sonic stood nearby, quiet but focused.
---
Neptune spoke of a name from the past.
Joy Boy.
A figure tied to promises, to the island, and to something unfinished.
---
Robin's eyes sharpened slightly.
"…Another name connected to the Void Century."
Her tone stayed calm—but her interest clearly increased.
---
Then Neptune added something unexpected.
A mention of a mysterious being—
someone similar in nature, but unknown.
---
Sonic's attention shifted immediately.
"…Similar?"
---
He didn't react loudly—
but internally, that stood out.
Something like him?
Or connected to the same kind of power?
---
Robin glanced at Sonic briefly.
"…That may not be coincidence."
---
Then came the real revelation.
---
Shirahoshi—
wasn't just a princess.
She was the Ancient Weapon: Poseidon.
---
Silence.
---
Sonic didn't speak for a few seconds.
He thought back instantly:
the Sea Kings responding to her
the control she showed
the scale of that power
---
"…That explains it."
---
Not fear.
Not shock in the usual sense.
Just a clear connection forming.
---
Robin leaned forward slightly.
"…An Ancient Weapon that can command Sea Kings…"
Her mind was already analyzing the historical weight.
---
Sonic looked at Shirahoshi differently now.
Not just as someone fragile—
but as someone carrying something massive.
---
"…She's not dangerous by choice."
---
That was his conclusion.
The power wasn't the problem.
Control and intent were.
---
Then he thought about the earlier mention—
Joy Boy.
A similar being.
---
"…If something like that existed before…"
He didn't finish the sentence.
---
But the idea stayed:
History wasn't random.
And somehow—
he might be connected to something bigger than he thought.
Screen 2
Inside Ryugu Palace, the conversation shifted from history… to the future.
Jinbe explained the situation clearly.
The balance of power in the New World had changed.
And one name stood above most—
Charlotte Linlin.
---
Jinbe spoke calmly.
"…I must return to her."
Not loyalty—
but obligation.
---
Sonic looked at him for a moment.
He understood immediately.
"…You're tied to her system."
---
Jinbe nodded slightly.
---
Sonic didn't argue.
Just said quietly:
"…Then do what you need to."
A short pause.
"…But you're still with us."
---
Then things escalated—fast.
---
Over a Den Den Mushi, Monkey D. Luffy spoke directly to Big Mom.
No hesitation.
No fear.
"I'll beat you in the New World!"
---
Silence.
Then tension filled the room.
---
Sonic didn't react loudly—
but his eyes sharpened.
"…You just escalated everything."
---
He thought quickly:
Yonko level threat
territory control
unknown forces
---
Then he added something different.
"…I've got my own reason."
---
He looked forward, focused.
"…Three Chaos Emeralds are with Yonko crews."
---
His voice stayed calm.
"…I'll take them back."
---
Not emotional.
Not reckless.
Just a clear objective.
---
Now the direction is set:
Luffy → defeat Big Mom
Sonic → retrieve Chaos Emeralds
---
Same path.
Different goals.
---
But both lead to one place:
The New World
Screen 3
After everything settled on Fish-Man Island, the palace filled with a different kind of energy—
not tension…
but relief.
A celebration.
---
The crew shared one last moment with their allies.
Laughter.
Food.
Calm after chaos.
---
But it didn't last forever.
The time to leave came.
---
At the port, everyone gathered for farewell.
Shirahoshi stood there, still emotional—but stronger than before.
---
Sonic stepped forward quietly.
No big speech.
No dramatic moment.
He looked up at her.
"…You did good."
---
Shirahoshi smiled through her tears.
---
Sonic gave a small nod.
"…Bye."
---
Simple.
But genuine.
---
Then he turned and walked back toward the Thousand Sunny.
---
Behind him, Monkey D. Luffy shouted his goodbye loudly—
as expected.
---
The ship began to move.
Slowly leaving the island behind.
---
Sonic stood at the edge, looking forward now.
No hesitation.
---
Next destination:
The New World.
Be continued
