Third Person POV

Fish-Man Island.

...

...

Finally, the time had come. Fish-Man Island was about to take a historic step in its existence.
Every merman and mermaid, regardless of age, watched nervously, wondering when it would begin. The Den Den Mushi, spread throughout the island, transmitted the message:
"We are about to move! Everyone must remain calm as the island will travel through the sea and, at the same time, through the sky as soon as we emerge from the waters."

Then, suddenly, a tremor took over the island, making everyone look around in concern.
The island had begun to react to the power of the Fuwa Fuwa no Mi.
People exchanged apprehensive glances, fearing something might go wrong. Would the island collapse? The tremor continued for a few moments until it finally ceased.

While everyone was wondering if something had gone wrong, a fish-man pointed at the bubble with trembling hands, unable to believe what he was seeing.
"The island... it's..."
"It's moving!" Another person exclaimed beside him, shocked.

All the inhabitants of Fish-Man Island were fascinated to see the island actually moving. Even knowing in advance that this would happen, seeing it with their own eyes was different.
"Incredible..."

At Ryugu Palace, Neptune couldn't help but smile. He walked to one of the balconies, watching his castle move along with the island. His eyes were focused on the horizon, absorbing that historic moment.
"It's incredible, husband! If my mother were alive, she would surely be moved by this sight!" Shirahoshi, clinging to Luffy's neck, spoke with a smile, while the pirate crossed his arms, watching the island move with a calm yet satisfied expression.

Luffy could have accelerated the island's movement, but he chose to preserve this unique moment for the people of the sea—a people who had lived their entire lives submerged and were now finally getting a place on the surface. Not because of the World Government, but because of the pirate they had met two years ago.

And so, the Sky Island continued rising from the depths.
Through the streets, the residents celebrated, and no one remained inside their homes or in any enclosed space. Everyone watched the ocean floor as the sun's rays pierced through the bubble, reflecting intensely.

They were in continuous motion—getting closer and closer to the surface.
Gradually, the sunlight increased in intensity, illuminating everything around them.

"Yes, my daughter..." Neptune murmured, responding to Shirahoshi's earlier comment, while tears streamed down his face.
He was finally seeing his late wife's dream come true.
And at the same time, he mourned.

She was not there to witness it.
If she were alive, Otohime would have been the happiest woman in the world at that moment.

The sunlight intensified even more as they approached.
Then, the ocean's surface finally revealed itself before them.

At that moment, everyone swallowed hard.
The first part to emerge was Ryugu Palace.
Then, an explosion of water erupted, marking the arrival of the first part of the island on the surface.

Neptune, his children, the ministers, and all the other palace guards and staff were shocked by the vision unfolding before them.
"The sun... Finally, the sun!" Around them, tears streamed down their faces, overwhelmed by the sight of the sun.

Shirahoshi smiled as she clung to Luffy, her eyes shining with emotion. Soon, tears began to roll down her face as well.
"I..." She seemed hesitant for a moment, but then burst with joy, unable to contain her excitement as she combined that happiness with an important piece of news she had to share with Luffy.
"I'm pregnant!" She shouted excitedly.
