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

Tesoro and Crocodile, both Logia-type Devil Fruit users, benefited from their enhanced physical abilities.

The range of the fruit's power is greater, and the duration of manipulation is longer.

The bear trains to utilize the Paw-Paw Fruit under 50 times the force of gravity.

He discovered a new use for the "pressure bomb".

The pressure from the gravitational field is compressed into the fleshy bubble, and when released, it produces an effect similar to a heavy pressure impact.

Cyrus's swordsmanship became even more refined under four times the gravity.

He abandoned all fancy techniques and focused on the essence of "cutting".

Three months later, his sword intent had gained a more resolute quality, capable of severing all things, and ordinary swordsmen dared not even look him in the eye.

Young executives such as Savi, Enel, Pea, Charon, Yamato, and Lucci grow rapidly under their respective extreme gravity conditions.

In three months, everyone's abilities have made a qualitative leap.

But what's most surprising is a peculiar phenomenon that has appeared on Roy and Hawkeye.

Three months later, Roy discovered that the faint, illusory flame in his chest had suddenly surged!

He tried to control the flames and discovered that he could fine-tune his own state by adjusting the size of the flames.

The larger the area covered by the flames, the stronger the defense, but the speed will decrease accordingly;

When the flames contract, the speed increases dramatically, while the defense decreases slightly.

"Is this... the 'Divine Fire' characteristic of the Lunaria race?" Roy guessed.

Among the crowd, only Hawkeye, when he swung his sword under 60 times the gravity, had a wisp of pale golden illusory flame ignite on his chest.

Roy and Hawkeye both perfectly inherited the fire characteristics of the Lunaria race, which made others somewhat envious, but not jealous.

Because everyone has found their own path, their abilities have greatly improved.

Especially the younger members like Savi, Enel, Yamato, and Pea.

They now all possess the ability to stand on their own.

Placed in the first half of the Grand Line, they would all be powerful enough to become a formidable force.

Roy once asked Dr. Gracia why only he and Hawkeye perfectly inherited the fire properties of the Lunaria race.

But even after a long period of research, the doctor couldn't give Roy a definitive answer.

After receiving this explanation, Roy stopped worrying about it.

After all, the crew's skills have made a qualitative leap, and that's the most important thing.

After a three-month observation period, the overall combat strength of Beehive Island has changed dramatically.

Three months later, at dawn, at the port of Beehive Island.

Kaido, King, and Queen are preparing to return to Wano Country.

"Hehehe! Roy, you've made quite a bit of progress these past three months!"

Kaido patted Roy on the shoulder with a force so great it could shatter an ordinary person's shoulder.

"My strength has increased by at least 30%! Jhin and Quinn have also improved considerably!"

"Likewise," Roy smiled. "Our alliance will only grow stronger."

"That's right!"

Kaido laughed heartily, but then looked at Yamato standing behind Roy and his expression darkened.

"Yamato, come back with me."

This time, Kaido's tone was no longer commanding, but carried a complex emotion.

A hint of... perhaps expectation, mingled with a firm stance?

Yamato gripped Ken's hand tightly and shook his head.

"I've said it before, I won't go back. My path is here."

Kaido stared at her for a few seconds, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes, but mostly helplessness.

Kaido's aura suddenly changed, and he slightly shifted his feet!

boom--!!!

Kaido appeared in front of Yamato in an instant and threw a punch!

Yamato clearly understood Kaido's temperament and was prepared, lifting up Ken to block him in front of her chest.

clang--!!!

The deafening clang of metal striking metal sent Yamato flying back more than ten meters, his feet carving two deep furrows in the ground.

"Then let me see just how much skill you've acquired in these past three months!"

Kaido growled and pounced again.

"Just what I wanted!"

A fighting spirit ignited in Yamato's eyes, ice armor condensed on his body, and he charged forward.

The father and daughter engaged in a fierce battle at the port.

Kaido did not use his Azure Dragon form, but only his physical skills and Haki in his human form;

Yamato is also going all out, combining the abilities of the Mythical Zoan species with optimized bloodlines, making his combat power not to be underestimated.

The roar was incessant, and the ground in the port kept cracking.

The expressions of the onlookers varied.

Jhin and Quinn remained expressionless, seemingly accustomed to such scenes.

The Roy Pirates' officers were somewhat worried, but Roy raised his hand to signal them not to interfere.

Ten minutes later.

boom--! ! !

Yamato was struck in the abdomen by Kaido's powerful punch, her ice armor shattered, she coughed up blood and flew backward, crashing into a pile of cargo boxes.

Kaido stood still, with several wounds on his chest from the ice blades, but they were healing at a visible speed.

"My skills have improved, but it's not enough."

Kaido looked at Yamato, who was struggling to her feet, and said in a low voice,

"If you want to go your own way, I won't stop you."

But remember, wherever you go, you'll have my blood flowing through your veins! You're a member of the Beasts Pirates!

Yamato wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and stared stubbornly at Kaido.

Kaido stopped looking at her and turned to Roy.

"Roy, I'm going back."

"Back in Wano Country, I need to deal with the mess caused by Kurozumi Orochi and Kozuki Oden."

Kaido paused, then continued,

"Furthermore, I will have my crew continue to perform bloodline transplants."

"Jack and his buddies will bring new test subjects next time for a perfect transplant."

"No problem." Roy nodded. "Hive Island is always open to you."

"Okay! It's settled then!"

Kaido took one last look at Yamato before turning and boarding the ship.

Jhin and Quinn nodded to Roy and followed.

The Beasts Pirates' fleet slowly sailed away from the port.

Yamato watched the departing ship with a complex expression, which ultimately turned into a resolute one.

"I will become stronger, strong enough to live according to my own will," she murmured to herself.

Roy walked over to her and patted her on the shoulder:

"You're already on your way."

After Kaido left, Beehive Island returned to peace, but the undercurrents of the New World never ceased to surge.

During this time,

New talents are emerging on the high seas, and countless ambitious individuals are making their mark in the great pirate era.

According to the Navy's latest bounty posters and intelligence reports, several names have caught Roy's attention—

"The Evil King" Avalo Pizarro, with a bounty of 230 million Berries.

This person is ruthless and brutal, and has destroyed several member states of the World Government. Wherever he goes, towns are turned into ruins.

"Crescent Moon Hunter" Katrin Demi, with a bounty of 190 million Berries, is a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user, specifically the Mythical Zoan type, Nine-Tailed Fox form.

Known as the most vicious female pirate besides Charlotte Linlin, she is skilled in disguise and seduction, moves mysteriously, and has committed many major crimes.

"Giant Battleship" San Juan Wolf, user of the Inflate-Inflate Fruit, has a bounty of 150 million Berries.

It can swell from the size of a normal person to a hundred-meter giant, possessing immense strength, but its intelligence seems to be low. It was used and then abandoned by several pirate crews.

And then there's Doflamingo, who returned to the sea.

This former Celestial Dragon, a user of the String-String Fruit, experienced defeats in the Sabaody Archipelago and the New World.

After lying low for several years, he has now made a comeback and announced that he has accepted the World Government's invitation to become one of the "Seven Warlords of the Sea".

He used the secrets of the Celestial Dragons and his network of connections in the underworld to quickly build up a vast power base.

They control a portion of the New World's black market trade in arms and Devil Fruits.
