In truth, after a hundred years, the conflict between Brogy and Dorry had long since faded. Their daily battles had become routine. Thus, the three of them spent the night eating and drinking together.
…
Meanwhile, in Alabasta’s capital at Baroque Works’ headquarters, a man with a cigar in his mouth read the message in his hand, letting out a strange laugh, “Guahahaha, I didn’t expect a Navy officer to dare lay hands on my people!”
“Mr. 1, find that reckless Navy officer and bring me his head!”
“Yes, Boss!” A bald, muscular man emerged from the shadows.
…
The next morning.
“Gentlemen, it’s time for me to leave,” Rokujin said, bidding farewell to Brogy and Dorry. After a night of talking, their relationship had grown much closer.
Brogy looked surprised, asking, “You’re leaving already? Where are you going?”
“To the capital of the Alabasta Kingdom!” Rokujin replied.
“What? You’re going there?”
“To get there, you’ll have to pass through the territory of the Island Eater. Your boat, and you might get eaten by it.”
“How about we clear the way for you?”
“Yes!” Brogy and Dorry both offered their help.
But Rokujin waved his hand, “No need, it’s just a small monster. I can handle it!”
He declined their help not only because he could handle it but also because it was part of a mission.

“Alright! I forgot that your strength is not weak, hahaha!” Brogy laughed. Coming to this place alone was proof enough of Rokujin’s strength.
Brogy and Dorry personally escorted Rokujin to the shore, watching as he sailed away in his small boat. Not long after setting out, the sea ahead suddenly surged as if a volcanic eruption was happening underwater.
“Rokujin! Be careful. The Island Eater is coming!” Brogy shouted in warning.
“Got it!” Rokujin nodded slightly, steering his boat and watching the sea ahead.
“Boom!” A gigantic creature emerged from the depths, resembling a goldfish with bulging eyes and red scales. It had an enormous mouth capable of swallowing islands whole. This was the Island Eater, a colossal goldfish that devoured islands. Even its droppings were as large as islands.

“So big! I wonder if its meat is tasty,” Rokujin mused, touching his nose as he drew his sword, Zhan Tian. His right hand was immediately covered in Armament Haki, turning the blade black and red. Even with Haki, Zhan Tian’s original color wasn’t fully concealed; it was a Supreme Grade sword with a distinct appearance. The Haki wrapped around the blade, with crimson sparks flickering along it, making Zhan Tian shine like a red star.
“One Sword Style: Open Heaven!” Rokujin lifted Zhan Tian and, with all his strength and Haki, slashed towards the Island Eater.
Instantly, a fearsome red sword aura cut through the sky, heading towards the Island Eater. The slash even split the clouds, turning them red as if the sky itself was wounded.
The sword aura struck the Island Eater, which opened its mouth and let out a pained roar, “Roar…” But the roar was abruptly cut off. The sword aura had sliced the Island Eater cleanly in half, including its mouth, silencing it instantly. The cut was so swift that the creature didn’t bleed immediately.
In mere moments, the Island Eater’s body was split in two, and blood began to gush out, turning the sea bright red. Even the clouds above reflected this crimson scene, possibly from the light of the blood-stained sea.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the mission. System reward: +50 energy points!]
Rokujin sheathed Zhan Tian, turning to bid farewell to Brogy and Dorry, “Gentlemen, I’ll be on my way now!”
“Take care!” They replied in unison, snapping out of their shock. The power of Rokujin’s slash was immense; they doubted they could withstand it.
Watching Rokujin’s departing figure, Dorry asked, “Brogy, just how strong is Rokujin?”
“Stronger than the two of us combined. Good thing he’s not from our village, or we’d never be the strongest warriors!” Brogy replied.
“True, hahaha!”
“Hahaha!” They laughed together.
…
Several days later, as Rokujin lay on his small boat, he felt the temperature around him drop. He sat up, took out a map, and looked around.
“This must be the Drum Kingdom’s region. Well, let’s head over first and see!” It would still take some time to reach the capital of Alabasta.
Moreover, Rokujin was waiting for Crocodile to send people to kill him, giving him a chance to take out more of Crocodile’s subordinates.
About three hours later, four islands appeared ahead, the Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter Islands of the Drum Kingdom. However, something seemed off about these islands. Smoke was rising from them as if there was a war going on. It was unusual.
Seeing this, Rokujin’s interest was piqued. “Let’s go check it out. Maybe there’s a mission waiting for me!” After all, Chopper was on Winter Island. Knowing the system, some tasks might alter the plot, earning more energy points and quickly enhancing his strength.
As he approached Winter Island, he noticed many people in uniform fleeing from it, heading towards a large ship. Judging by their attire, they appeared to be kingdom soldiers, among them a hideously dressed man in luxurious clothes.
“What’s going on here?” Rokujin frowned and moved closer. Upon closer inspection, he realized these were indeed soldiers, and the lavishly dressed man was Wapol. He had blue hair, wore a white fur coat, and looked truly ugly.
【Character: Wapol】【Position: Former Drum Kingdom Prince】【Fruit: Munch-Munch Fruit】【Level: C】【Skills: Fruit Development (C)】【Bounty: None】
Seeing the information on the system interface, Rokujin chuckled, “So it’s him!” He had forgotten some characters from One Piece and wasn’t very familiar with them.
Suddenly, the system notification sounded.
