One Piece: The user of the Nen-Nen Fruit, who overturned the sea.

Once the door closed,

Savi immediately slumped into the animal-skin chair.

"call--!"

"Finally, I can breathe a sigh of relief. Those guys looked at us like they wanted to devour us."

I thought we were going to have a fight!

"Tch~ Just a bunch of small fry." Tesoro curled his lip in disdain, tiny arcs of electricity dancing between his fingers, clearly dissatisfied with not being able to make a move earlier.

Pea carefully placed his peculiar plant on the table by the window.

Roy walked to the window and looked at the gloomy sky outside and the pirates who were peeking out from afar but dared not approach.

Hawkeye walked to another window, his gaze sweeping towards the interior of Wano Country.

"Roy, the swordsman of this country..."

"Go ahead! You'd better disguise yourself; the warriors of this country aren't very welcoming to outsiders."

"But, Kaido..."

"Don't worry, I'm still here! There won't be any problems."

"Okay. I'll go find someone to borrow some clothes."

Hawkeye greeted everyone and turned to leave the room.

"How long will it take for Kaido to return?"

Watching Hawkeye leave, Barrett cracked his knuckles and asked,

His fight with Jack just now wasn't even a warm-up for him.

"It can take as little as three to five days, or as long as ten days to half a month."

Roy walked to the table in the center of the room and sat down. Stella, as if on cue, took out the information booklet and a simple map of Wano Country obtained from the market island and spread them out.

"It depends on his location when he receives the message and how urgent his current task is."

However, given his personality, if he hears that someone has broken into his stronghold and attacked his crew, he will definitely rush back as quickly as possible.

"So we're just going to wait here like this?"

Savi leaned closer, his eyes darting around on the map.

"Of course not."

Roy's finger traced across the map, passing through areas such as Kuri, Hakumai, and Nozomi, before finally landing on Rei.

"I still have some things to do before Kaido returns."

Roy looked at Tesoro.

"Tezzolo, come out with me."

"What about me? What about me?"

Savi was eager to try, and the others looked on with the same anticipation.

"You......." Roy tapped Savi's head and turned to look at the crowd.

"You will continue training with Barrett."

"Barrett, keep an eye on them, don't let them cause trouble, but who dares to lay a hand on you..."

"Then let's take them down!"

Barrett grinned and clenched his fist.

"Mm." Roy nodded to him.

As night deepened, the noise on Ghost Island reached its peak and then gradually subsided, leaving only a few scattered hiccups and snores.

Roy and Tesoro opened the window and quietly left the wing.

"Boss, where do we go first?" Tesoro, who had transformed into lightning in mid-air, looked at Roy.

"Empress Ling"

Roy activated his Observation Haki to confirm the location.

"Linghou? Isn't that the cemetery in Wano Country?" Tesoro asked, puzzled.

"Hmm, there might be something I want there."

Roy remembered that in the original story, after Moria was defeated by Kaido, he dug up many corpses in Wano Country to create a zombie army.

Among them, the dragon-slaying samurai Shimotsuki Ryoma and his sword "Shusui" were likely obtained here.

Although Roy's sword is now a Great Grade Sword, how could he possibly let go of such a famous sword?

Moreover, "Autumn Water" is a black sword that has already been tempered.

Like two ghosts in the night, the two skimmed over the edge of Onigashima, flew across the Inland Sea, and sped toward the northern part of Wano Country, a region shrouded in ice, snow, and legend.

The two moved very fast and soon arrived at Linghou territory.

Looking out, everything is covered in silver, with the rolling mountains covered by thick ice and snow, and only a few dilapidated villages with smoke rising from their chimneys.

Deep within the mountains, a vast cemetery stands, with countless tombstones, stone pagodas, and mounds of knives, appearing particularly solemn and desolate under the moonlight and snow.

The two landed on the outskirts of the cemetery.

The chill here was even more intense. The entire cemetery was deathly silent, save for the mournful sound of the wind blowing through the forest of tombstones.

"What a deserted place."

Tesoro rubbed his hands together, the electric arcs at his fingertips dispelling some of the chill.

"Why isn't there even a guard here?"

"Who knows? Maybe it's because of the Kurozumi family. Wano Country isn't as peaceful as it used to be."

"With resistance and oppression everywhere, who would have the time to look after a cemetery?"

Roy stepped into the cemetery, activating his Observation Haki to its fullest extent, like a meticulously crafted map, avoiding subtle aura traps and lingering sword intent.

The two walked through the forest of steles and finally arrived at the very center of the cemetery, which was also the lowest-lying area.

Here stands an exceptionally tall tombstone, in front of which is a simple, long, black samurai sword.

Even under the cover of ice and snow, the blade still faintly exuded a chilling aura and a sharp edge, and the surrounding snowflakes could not get within three feet of the blade.

Roy stepped forward, grasped the scabbard, and drew the 'Autumn Water'.

"Boss, what's going on...?"

"The Black Blade Shusui, the sword of Shimotsuki Ryoma, who was hailed as the 'strongest samurai in Wano Country' 400 years ago."

Slowly drawing the sword from its sheath, the jet-black blade gleamed eerily in the moonlight, its weight even greater than that of the 'Red Rock'.

With a flick of his wrist, jet-black Armament Haki wrapped around his wrist.

"It's indeed a fine knife," Roy praised.

Carefully feeling the smooth flow of Armament Haki across the blade, this truly black sword...

It does not require users to temper it with Haki; it already possesses extremely strong Haki conduction and slashing power.

Tesoro leaned closer curiously for a look: "So this is the legendary Autumn Water... It certainly looks extraordinary. But boss, you already have a sword, this one..."

"Who would ever have too many famous swords?" Roy smiled slightly, tucking the Autumn Water sword into his waistband.

After putting away his autumn water, Roy did not leave immediately. Instead, he looked at a wooden house not far away.

Roy remembered that there should be a fox that had eaten a mythical beast guarding this place, but his Observation Haki did not detect any living beings in the vicinity.

"It seems there's still plenty of time; perhaps... the fox hasn't eaten the fruit yet."

"Then the fruit might be nearby."

He gestured for Tesoro to follow him, and the two walked towards the cabin.

Roy and Tesoro arrived at the cabin.

The cabin looked more rudimentary than it appeared from a distance, with cracks appearing in many places on the wooden planks of the walls.

Pushing open the door, a smell of mustiness and dust hit me.

The room was empty, and the floor was covered with a thick layer of dust, showing no signs of recent human or animal activity.

Roy's gaze carefully swept over every corner of the room.

The perception of color is even more subtle and detailed, not missing any energy fluctuations or structural anomalies.

"There seems to be nothing here."

Tesoro used his electromagnetic senses to probe the area but found nothing unusual.

Roy didn't say anything, but walked to the west wall of the room and tapped it lightly with his fingers.

*Knock knock!*

When a piece of wood near the corner of the wall was struck, the sound was slightly different—it was a little "solid" than the surrounding wood, and the echo was slightly delayed.

"Here," Roy pointed to the wooden plank.

Tezzolo leaned closer and examined the wooden plank more closely.

The wood panel was almost the same color as the surrounding area, and the seams were perfectly fitted. If Roy hadn't pointed it out, there would have been no discernible difference.

"Is there space?"

Tezzolo tried using electromagnetic force to sense the inside of the wooden plank, and indeed discovered that the wall behind the plank was not solid.

Instead, it was a very small cavity, inside which there appeared to be an ingenious mortise and tenon structure.
