One Piece: World Conquest Begins with Creating a Little Empress

"A being powerful enough to gain acceptance from other major races through their own strength..."

Rouge continued to explain Char's plan to Otohime.

"oh?!"

Upon hearing this, Princess Otohime's eyes lit up slightly.

"You already have someone in mind, right?!"

Otohime's Observation Haki allows her to perceive parts of Rouge's thoughts, so Otohime clearly knows that when Rouge brought this up with her, Rouge already had her own ideas.

"Yes……"

"The person I have in mind is..."

Rouge smiled and prepared to reveal the person's name.

"That's right! It is I!"

In response, Neptune, a former Grand Knight of the Deep Sea, straightened his back, looking as if he was ready to accept Rouge's praise.

"It is your Chief Sergeant Jinpei of the Ryugu Palace Guard."

Just when Neptune was ready...

Then Rouge smiled slightly and said Jinbe's name.

"what?!"

As soon as Rouge finished speaking, Neptune froze on the spot.

"Forehead……"

For a moment, even the air seemed to feel embarrassed for Neptune.

“Your Majesty Neptune, how can you, as the ruler of a nation, go out and become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?! You must think of your people for a moment, am I right?!”

Upon seeing this, Rouge's eyes twitched slightly, and she thought to herself that Neptune was indeed shameless. Then, she put on a kind smile and tried to save face for Neptune.

"exactly!"

Upon hearing this, Neptune immediately followed up on Rouge's words, saying, "Although my strength and title certainly qualify me for the title of Shichibukai, I am still the king of Fish-Man Island. The island has over five hundred streets and millions of fish-men. Their food, drink, and daily needs are all on my shoulders! Even if I became one of the Shichibukai, I would still be unable to complete the work required by the government, and all your good intentions would be wasted."

"You're right!"

Rouge simply smiled after hearing Neptune's words.

Well, Neptune, whatever makes you happy...

"Jinbe? His strength is certainly enough to make him a hero of the Fish-Man race!"

On the other hand, Queen Otohime subtly steered the conversation away from the topic. She had to save face for her husband, right?

"I think so too……"

“In fact, my husband, Figarand Xia Yasheng, sent me here to handle these two matters. The first is to arrange a marriage between him and the mermaid princess Shirahoshi, the legendary ancient weapon known as the ‘Sea King’ Poseidon, who is also called a god!”

"As for the second matter, it is to appoint Jinbe, a fishman with a reputation for chivalry on Fishman Island, as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, making him a symbol of the Fishman race's power and glory, and letting the land-based races know that the Fishman race also has powerful warriors..."

Rouge then relayed what Char had told her to everyone present.

"Oh? Your husband even knows Jinbe's name?"

After hearing Rouge's words, Otohime was clearly taken aback, and she became somewhat curious about the husband Rouge mentioned, Xia Yasheng.

"Ha ha……"

“My husband, Xia Yasheng, knows everything…”

Rouge looked at Otohime, smiled slightly, and then continued, "Speaking of which, he asked me to remind you of something! I'm not sure if I should say it, since it involves quite a few issues and is a legacy of history."

"Go ahead and speak! We're family, after all, there's nothing we can't say..."

Otohime smiled and looked at Rouge, speaking frankly.

"OK then!"

After receiving Otohime's consent, Rouge nodded slightly.

"About Noah's Ark..."

Rouge smiled at Otohime, a strange light gleaming in her eyes.

"Noah's Ark?!"

Upon hearing this, Princess Otohime's smile vanished.

The Ark is the ship of promise made eight hundred years ago by Joy Boy and the mermaid princess at the time, who was also Poseidon, the ancient weapon known as the "Sea King" and a god!

As agreed, Joy Boy will use the Ark as a ship to carry the people of Fishman Island to the mainland...

However, Joy Boy ultimately broke his promise, for which he even wrote a self-criticism to condemn himself and apologize to the people of Fishman Island…

"The Ark is no longer needed! Destroy it!"

"Joey Boy is not coming back, and even if he did, it would be too late..."

"Next, our World Government will use the Devil Fruit's power to send the entire Fish-Man Island to the surface! In other words, the Ark is now superfluous."

Rouge smiled at Otohime and spoke softly.

Upon hearing this, Princess Otohime gently shook her head, a glint of intelligence in her eyes.

In fact, the Ark served other purposes besides transporting the Fish-Men to the surface! Yes, the Ark was never intended to carry the Fish-Men; if they wanted to reach the land, they simply swam. The Ark was a vessel used to carry races that could not survive in water…

If, if...

If this world is destined to be submerged by the sea!

Then perhaps the Ark will become the only, and last, sanctuary for the surface races!

The races on the surface will travel aboard the ark to find the 'Endless Continent' that connects all things.

"Are you worried about the 'world' being submerged by the sea?!"

Rouge looked at Otohime and smiled slightly.

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, Princess Otohime was clearly taken aback.

Otohime seemed surprised that Rouge even knew about something like this...

This matter is a top secret, known only to a select few from the oldest nations that had made an agreement with Joy Boy, including certain extremely special groups in places like Wano Country, Fish-Man Island, and Alabasta.

"There's no need to worry about the 'world' being submerged by the sea!"

"Char's artificial islands and the technology for sea trains are already very mature."

"Moreover! The ark that can truly connect to the infinite continent! Char is already building it..."

Rouge looked at Otohime and gave her a mysterious smile.

"what?!"

Otohime looked dazed; she didn't know what Rouge was talking about.

at the same time……

Daughter Island, the Amazonian Lily Kingdom.

Because this area is in the Calm Belt, no fleet other than the World Government or the Kuja Pirates will come here!

This created an environment for Char that would never be disturbed by anyone.

"Ding-dong! Ding-dong! Ding-dong..."

In this undisturbed environment, one pacifist after another busied themselves under Char's constant orders, seemingly building a giant ship...

Meanwhile, countless steel, sea stone, platinum and lead ore, and chemical products made from oil extracted from Alabasta were continuously transported by World Government warships to the islands near Amazon Lily Kingdom (the place where Luffy and Rayleigh trained in the original story).

As for why people couldn't understand whether this thing could be called a ship, it was because, compared to a normal ship, the thing that Xia built, which was comparable to an island, had several huge wings on it. These wings looked like the parts that birds use to fly in the sky.

If Enel were still alive on Skypiea at this moment, upon seeing this enormous thing, he would surely shout, "Isn't this my Ark Maxim?! You also want to search for the legendary Endless Continent?!"

Yes, Char is building a giant spaceship that can take everyone into the sky and to the moon!

Of course, the reason Char wanted to build the ark was not because he discovered that the sea level in the One Piece world was rising every year, but because he had already started his plan long before he discovered this.

In fact...

Even before Char arrived in this world, he had already been planning the Ark.

As we all know…

The Skypiea arc of the manga ONE PIECE serves as the outline for the entire manga!

Enel, who replaced Gan Fall, the original god of Skypiea, represents Im and the Celestial Dragons, while Gan Fall represents the Lunaria clan, the original inhabitants of the Holy Land Mary Geoise.

The Golden Land corresponds to the One Piece.

The great liar Wenbra Rolando is the counterpart to the untrustworthy Joy Boy.

That's why, after Luffy defeated Enel, he said that the Golden City truly exists...

This also corresponds to the fact that ONE PIECE is a real entity.

Enel's Ark Maxim also corresponds to the Ark of Fishman Island.
