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

The two were enveloped in psychic power and slowly rose from the sky above Shimotsuki Village.

At first, Guina kept her eyes tightly closed, her fingers gripping the hem of her clothes so tightly that her knuckles turned white.

She wasn't unfamiliar with heights, but the feeling of having nothing beneath her feet and being lifted upwards by an unseen force was unlike anything she'd ever experienced.

It's completely different from standing on a mountaintop and looking down.

Roy glanced down at her, a slight smile playing on his lips, and deliberately slowed his ascent.

"Open your eyes and take a look; it would be a shame not to."

Guina bit her lip and hesitated for several seconds before finally opening her eyelids a crack.

Then she could no longer close it.

The pale moonlight dyed the entire sea a deep black.

The village of Shuangyue beneath our feet grew smaller and smaller, the wooden houses and stone paths becoming squares on a chessboard, and the bamboo forest turning into a small tuft of emerald green down.

The island is dotted with lights.

"So beautiful..."

Guina murmured that he had never seen the island he lived on from this perspective before.

Roy didn't respond, letting her watch for a while longer.

When Shimotsuki Village has completely become a small dot on the coastline,

He then raised his hand to adjust the angle of the telekinetic field, allowing the two to fly smoothly towards the direction of Windmill Village.

"Now that you're not nervous anymore, let's get down to business."

Roy's voice remained clear in the sea breeze, carrying a calmness that made people involuntarily take it seriously.

"You're coming to Beehive Island with me soon, so there are some things I need to tell you beforehand."

Don't arrive at the destination completely clueless and know absolutely nothing.

Kuina immediately looked away and nodded solemnly.

The shock and amazement from before vanished in an instant, replaced by a seriousness that Roy was already very familiar with, his back ramrod straight, as if he were listening to his master's lecture in a temple.

"Tell me first, how much do you know about the new world?"

Kuina thought for a moment, then shook her head somewhat shyly.

"All I know is that it's dangerous there."

My father never talked to me about the New World. He only said that he went there once and never wanted to talk about it again after he came back.

"normal.

People of your father's generation who came from Wano Country generally don't have a very good impression of the New World.

Roy crossed his arms, his tone calm yet carrying an undeniable authority.

"But since you're going to Beehive Island, you need to understand one thing first—the new world can't be summed up in the word 'dangerous'."

Roy pointed down to the calm surface of the East China Sea.

"The sea you see now is called the East China Sea, which is the weakest of the four seas."

Pirates' average bounty is less than a third of that of the Grand Line, and even the largest Sea Kings are only a few dozen meters long. The climate there is as stable as a bathtub.

Guina glanced down following his finger but didn't say anything.

"Next is the first half of the Grand Line, which we usually call 'Paradise'."

The climate there started to become erratic, the magnetic field was so chaotic that ordinary compasses were unusable, and pirate bounties began to skyrocket.

But ultimately, the first half was still somewhat orderly—

The Navy can control them, the Seven Warlords can keep them in check, and once the World Government's flag is raised, most pirates will still avoid them.

"But the new world is different."

Roy's tone remained unchanged, but Guina could sense that the weight in those sentences was gradually increasing.

"The climate of the new world is unreasonable."

Ten minutes ago the sun was blazing, and ten minutes later hailstones could fall that could smash through the deck.

Neptune is larger than a warship, and the undercurrents on the sea surface can drag a medium-sized sailboat to the bottom of the sea in ten seconds.

The magnetic field was completely out of control; the three pointers were pointing in three different directions simultaneously. Choosing the wrong path meant total annihilation.

"But these are not the most dangerous things."

Guina instinctively held her breath.

"They are people from the new world."

Roy looked into her eyes and said, word by word,

"In the first half of the Grand Line, the Seven Warlords of the Sea are the ceiling."

But in the New World, the Seven Warlords of the Sea are only capable of protecting themselves.

The admirals and emperors of the sea, those are the true rulers of the new world.

Every emperor possesses world-destroying power, and any one of their core subordinates could easily be a big shot in the amusement park.

"And Beehive Island."

Roy paused for a moment, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"It is the lair of one of the five great emperors."

Kuina's pupils contracted slightly.

She had thought Roy was powerful, and she had thought Beehive Island was vast, but she never imagined that the place she was going to would actually be the core of the most powerful force on this vast ocean.

"Scared?" Roy tilted his head, a faint smile in his eyes.

"I'm not afraid."

Guina answered almost without hesitation, and the light in her eyes shone even brighter than before.

"That suits me perfectly."

Roy looked at the burning fighting spirit in her eyes and nodded in satisfaction.

"Okay. Then I'll continue to tell you about the configuration of Beehive Island."

He raised his hand and made a gesture in front of him, using his mental power to draw an invisible map in the air.

"The defense system of Beehive Island itself is managed by Baal."

He is a user of the Island-Island Fruit, which allows him to transform the entire Beehive Island into his own body.

He would spot anyone who stepped on the ground without permission immediately.

Meanwhile, the island is also home to tens of thousands of genetically enhanced elite soldiers, equipped with the most advanced weaponry on the high seas.

"Core cadres—"

Roy started counting on his fingers, and with each finger that fell, Guina felt her heart skip a beat.

"Barrett, first mate of Beehive Island."

Nicknamed "Devil's Heir", a Zoan-type Mythical Zoan-type user who has awakened the White Tiger Fruit.

In the new world, the number of people who can go toe-to-toe with him can be counted on one hand.

"The Red Earl, Baron Ryderfield."

The previous generation's maritime tycoon, a super strongman who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Roger and Whitebeard all by himself.

They are now one of the core combat forces of Beehive Island.

Tesoro, user of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, is the Finance Minister of Beehive Island.

His lightning can turn a town into scorched earth in an instant. He's in charge of overseeing the entire operation for this special training session.

Crocodile, Moria, Kuma—each one is a powerful figure renowned throughout the seas.

You might never have heard of these people in the East Blue, but in the New World, any one of them would be enough to give the Marine Headquarters a major headache.

Guina silently memorized these names one by one, her fingers tapping unconsciously on her knees as if taking notes.

Roy glanced at her serious expression, smiled, and softened his tone slightly.

"But they're not the ones you need to worry about right now."

"You will be my teacher from now on—"

"Hawkeye, Dracule Mihawk. The current world's greatest swordsman."

Guina suddenly raised her head, her eyes almost overflowing with light.

"Hawkeye—I've heard that name before!"

Her voice trembled slightly with excitement.

"My father said that he is now the one who stands at the pinnacle of all swordsmen."

His swordsmanship is already on another level.

"Yes. He's your head coach."

Roy nodded, then delivered another blow.

"But don't think that learning swordsmanship from him will be easy."

That sword—Black Blade Night—is hailed as the world's strongest black blade. Its training methods, like the man himself, are utterly ruthless.

"I'm not afraid."

Guina's answer was still the same two words, but this time, as she said them, the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up.

"Besides swordsmanship, your physical training will be overseen by Savi."

Roy continued,

"He is one of the core cadres of Beehive Island, possessing an awakened physique with the bloodline of the giant ape."

He will hone your physical abilities in the most primitive way—the basic application of Navy Six Styles, Fishman Karate, and Armament Haki are all within his training scope.

Let me tell you in advance, his training intensity is no less than Hawkeye's.

Kuina nodded vigorously.
