"All pirates searching for the treasure One Piece must brave the second half of the Grand Line. These wild and dangerous seas are known as the New World."


"Gold Roger and his crew were the only men to chart these waters and learn all the secrets they held."


"For the rest of the pirates in the world, this has proven to be the end of the road. A graveyard of dreams."


"Now, Y/n L/n, a young man who ate the Ox Ox Fruit Model: Water Buffalo, set sail into the New World with his faithful crew."


'I'm gonna become the King of the Pirates!'



The bubble surrounding the Bellowy Diamond shimmered gently with shifting hues of blue and silver, catching the faint bioluminescent trails of nearby sea life. Near the portside railing, Rindo leaned forward, her arms draped over the ship's edge as she stared out toward the submerged ruins where the rest of the crew had gone.


Her cheeks were puffed slightly in a soft pout, the kind only she could maintain while still somehow looking adorable. Behind her, Fuyuto leaned against the central mast with his arms crossed, a faint smirk tugging at his lips as he observed her sulking cook. He knew that expression too well.


"What's wrong?" he asked, already knowing the answer but feigning curiosity just to hear her say it. Rindo didn't even turn around. "You know what's wrong," she grumbled. "They get to go exploring this ancient city filled with secrets, and I'm stuck up here babysitting the ship like some background character in a novel," she complained.


Hearing this, Fuyuto chuckled before stepping beside her and glancing in the same direction. "Well, I'm sure if anything major happens, Y/n or Inoko will come running back to report it to you. Or scream it through the coating," he said, but Rindo pouted even more.


"That's exactly the problem!" Rindo huffed, spinning around dramatically. "They'll only return when the fun is over, and all the mystery is solved! I want to solve it too!" she protested, stomping once with her boot like a child denied candy.


Fuyuto laughed openly this time. "You really hate being left out, huh?" he teased, then tilted his head. "Well, maybe this will cheer you up. Look over there," he said. Rindo blinked, turning her gaze as Fuyuto pointed toward the glassy curvature of the bubble a few meters away.


A strange, rainbow-coloured fish drifted by. Its body shimmered like oil on water, constantly shifting colours from violet to gold to deep sea green. "Whoa..." Rindo's pout eased as she pressed her face to the bubble, eyes tracking the fish's mesmerising movements. "That one's new..." she said.


"Not just that one," Fuyuto added, pointing toward the deeper reef. "There's a whole school of them over there. Different species, all with weird appearances. I think this area's hiding more than just ruins," added Fuyuto.


Seeing this, Rindo's eyes lit up like fireworks. "That settles it!" she declared, stepping back. "If I can't explore, I'll fish! When the others get back, I'll have something cool to show, too!" she said, pumping her fists.
