One Piece: Starting with Breathing Techniques

When Kilo woke up, it was already the morning of the next day.

Nearly a day's sleep has revitalized his once-powerful body.

He felt as if the activity of all the cells in his body had returned to its peak.

"Is this what it feels like to have a good night's sleep?"

"No wonder I was so weak when I was a beast of burden in my past life; it's probably related to my daily late-night work overtime."

Feeling the continuous surge of power coursing through his body, Kiro stretched contentedly, stepped out of his room, and onto the deck.

At this moment, the Revolutionary Army's flagship has returned to the dock on White Earth Island.

Squinting to adjust to the bright morning light, Kilo suddenly frowned and looked into the distance. He saw countless revolutionary soldiers busily carrying boxes of supplies onto the fleet at the dock.

The revolutionary army stronghold not far away also became somewhat deserted.

"Mr. Kiro, you're awake!"

Kiro turned around and saw a young revolutionary soldier looking at him with excitement.

Those clear, bright eyes were filled with admiration and longing, just like someone meeting their idol.

Kiro smiled in response. "So... what happened the day I fell asleep?"

……

"Mr. Kiro, that's about it!"

"I have to go; I need to help with the transfer of supplies!"

The young soldier excitedly put away the autograph in his hand, saluted Kilo, and was about to turn and leave when he suddenly remembered something and handed Kilo a neatly folded stack of newspapers from his arms.

"Oh, right, there are newspapers here too, with Fleet Admiral Sengoku's speeches in them!"

After saying that, the young soldier saluted again and left excitedly with the autograph.

After carefully reading everything in the newspaper, Kilo sighed deeply, feeling somewhat sentimental.

Although he hadn't cared much about his bounty before, now...

Five billion Berries, plus ten Devil Fruits—this reward is simply too outrageous!

Regardless of its value of 5 billion Berries, the Devil Fruit itself is priceless and a treasure that people would fight over in the outside world.

And if someone were to subdue Kiro, they could even obtain a full ten Devil Fruits!

The unprecedentedly high bounty is enough to show the attitude of the world government, which probably really hates itself to the core.

All of this was because he killed those six ugly and filthy Celestial Dragons.

However, Kiro doesn't regret it. If he had to choose again, he would still do the same thing.

As for the navy's pursuit?

Just kidding. With his current strength, unless the three admirals of the Navy go all out, or Garp goes all out, probably no one in the entire Navy can subdue him.

After all, there is still some time before the story begins, and the three admirals of the Navy have not yet grown to their original strength, nor have they fully developed their Devil Fruit abilities.

After more than a decade, when the three generals had grown up, it would be difficult for Kilo to take on two opponents at once.

However, given Kilo's current rate of development, he'll probably be able to storm into Pangu City and aim for the Void Throne in a decade or so.

As for the Navy's claim that he fought two opponents single-handedly, which they consider rumors, Kilo dismissed them with disdain.

The Navy did this simply to maintain its dignity as a representative of justice in front of the whole world.

If it were truly revealed that Kiro's strength had reached that level, people's already precarious reliance on the Navy would likely decrease even further.

After sorting through the information in the newspaper and having a brief moment of thought, Kiro suddenly took to the air.

A gust of wind swept behind him as he flew straight toward the location he sensed.

According to the young soldier's report, the Revolutionary Army is now preparing to relocate its base, moving its headquarters to an island in the New World.

It seemed to be an island that Kilo had never heard of, only that it was large enough and located on the edge of some kingdom's territory.

New outpost...

As Kiro soared through the air, a sudden flash of inspiration struck him, and a bold idea popped into his head.

Considering Capone Bege's Castle-Castle Fruit, and the highest level of attention from the World Government...

The revolutionary army might have a better option!

……

Every revolutionary soldier who saw Kilo along the way showed an admiration and excitement far exceeding what they had shown before.

After a day and a half of public discussion, Kilo's actions have spread throughout the world.

Whether in the Great Kingdom, the New World Paradise, or the Four Seas, a new young legend is told—a young hero who dares to challenge the authority of the World Government and drag the arrogant world nobles down with him.

Although the world government has banned discussions about Kilo, this has not dampened the enthusiasm of the people.

Because Kiro did not choose to disguise himself during the battle, his current appearance is now known to the whole world, and every pirate on the Grand Line will recognize this young legend.

A moment later, Kilo slowly landed in the office, with a dragon in a good mood on the other side of the table.

"You're awake? You must know about the relocation, right?"

Kilo nodded. "Of course, that's why I came here."

"But could you tell me about your choice?"

Long nodded and pointed to a circled address on the world map beside him.

"Os Island, located on the edge of the administrative jurisdiction of the Kingdom of Providence, is a sparsely populated resource island."

"Using our agents who have infiltrated the Kingdom of Providence, I have a way to hide Os Island from the World Government's sight."

"However, the World Government has already begun to take action, starting with a thorough search of every location on the Grand Line from the entrance to Reverse Mountain, as if they will not give up until they catch us."

"Whether Os Island can completely evade the search... I can't guarantee it, but White Earth Island definitely can't escape the search now."

"At the pace of the World Government, we probably only have about two weeks left."

Long rubbed his temples, a look of fatigue appearing on his face after two busy days of work.

He discussed this issue with the cadres for a long time.

However, given the World Government's current attitude, it would be difficult to rule out any location that could accommodate so many Revolutionary Army members as a suspect.

"Wait, maybe I have an idea!"

Hearing Kiro say that, the dragon's eyes lit up. "Are you sure?"

He wasn't entirely convinced that Kiro could provide a definitive safe location, especially considering that the Revolutionary Army's high command had been discussing this for so long without reaching a conclusion.

But since he met Kiro, the latter has performed countless miracles, so anything is possible.

Meeting the dragon's gaze, Kilo smiled and circled a sea area on the map.

"Sky Island!"

"By riding the Sky Current at specific times, you can reach the Sky Island by boat."

"It's located at an altitude of 10,000 meters, so the World Government can't track it down. Plus, the island has plenty of resources, more than enough to support the Revolutionary Army's logistics."

"We can have Lindbergh modify the shellfish technology there for our revolutionary army, using wind-blown shells to solve our transportation problems!"

Upon hearing this, Long was also taken aback.

"Sky Island?"

"Isn't that just a legend?"

Kilo smiled and shook his head.

"To be precise, no."

"Since the World Government isn't acting that quickly, why don't you gather a few people and we go investigate on-site!"

Long pondered, seriously considering the feasibility of the proposal.

Kiro's words kept replaying in his mind—

Difficult to track, advanced technology, abundant resources...

The tempting offers gradually brightened the dragon's eyes, and he unconsciously began to rub the scars on his fingers.

After considering the World Government's search speed, Dragon hesitated for a moment before nodding.

"Once the meeting is over, let's set off immediately!"
