One Piece: The Salted Fish Fruit

They raced headlong toward their destination, the coast, sweeping across the Beast Mountain Range without posing any obstacle to Mabi. This was a completely different life from when they had been hiding and running away.

“Brother Kyle!” Mabi looked at the place where Brother Kyle had been placed before. The barrier was now broken, and she saw him squatting there roasting a sheep-like creature, with broken bones scattered all around him.

"Mabi! You little brat, you're finally back! How dare you leave me here and make me wait for two days!" Seeing Mabi rushing towards him, he roared angrily and raised the hammer beside him to strike.

"Haha! Weren't you worried about Brother Kyle getting hurt? With my abilities, I can easily get through in there." Mabi raised her sword and caught the other's axe and hammer, laughing.

"Haha! You little brat, aren't you saying I'm a burden?" Kyle laughed as he withdrew his axe and hammer, the faint light fading as it returned to its wooden form.

"Haha! Now is not the time to worry about this, Brother Kyle. We need to go back and inform everyone to prepare. We're about to return to the main world." Mabi explained, seeing the other party's desire to stop fighting.

"The main world? What's that?" Seeing Mabi's eager figure, she abandoned her food and followed him, asking.

"You can think of it as being able to leave this island and no longer being trapped here."

"Really? I've heard you say that there's a vast and boundless world outside, a place where people can truly live." Kyle asked with amusement. All the creatures living on this island had gone out to sea to find other places where life could gather, but they all failed and returned.

"Yes! With your strength, you are capable of finding a suitable place to live in this world."

···

"Nami! Mia! Angelia!" As dusk approached, Mabi finally returned to the shore gathering place and sensed the presence of the three whispering in the wild, so she jumped over directly.

"Ah! Mabi, you bastard, why did you come at this time!" Mabi's leap from the sky caused a series of screams.

Chapter 53 Return to the Grand Line

"Hi! It's been so long, everyone! I missed you all so much!" Maggie, with a bruised and swollen face, hugged her companions tightly. She was afraid she might never be able to return to that world. However, behind her were three angry women and Robin, who was covering her mouth and chuckling, as if something terrible had happened.

"Mabi! It itches!"

"Mabi, why are you dressed like a beggar?"

"You bastard! What are you doing?!"

"You pervert! Don't touch me!"

···

"Haha! Mabi has only been here for three days, how can that be a long time! Mabi, come and have a banquet! Have a banquet!" Luffy, who was hugging him from behind, laughed loudly while holding the bone and meat in his hand. The people gathered around saw that it was just dinner time.

“It’s not too late to start later. I’ll sort out the problems on this island first! We’ll have a banquet together when I get back,” Mabi replied, taking advantage of the current spatial chaos to break through.

"Jack, come with me for a bit. I need you to fly me into the air." Before they could reply, Maggie picked up Jack, who was squatting with Chopper, and leaped into the air.

"Great! We'll have a banquet together when you come back!" Knowing what Maggie was up to, the others naturally didn't take it seriously.

"Sanji! We're setting sail, hurry up and grill some meat so Maggie can put it away!"

"no problem!"

"Is Luffy also one of your crew members?" asked the two elderly men standing next to Luffy.

"Yeah! You didn't know?" Luffy tilted his head curiously, wondering if they had already met before.

"My memories have been erased again!" Zoro shook his head as he saw the scene. He had to start over every time.

···

"Big Brother Mabi! Do we keep going up?" Jack asked Mabi, who was sitting cross-legged on him.

"Yes! Keep going up, and stop when I tell you to."

"No problem!" The clouds beneath Jack's feet rapidly appeared, and he stepped onto them, soaring into the sky.

Mabi, holding the long sword at her waist, regulated her breathing as she stood up and looked at the shattered environment in the center of the island in the distance. Countless wild beasts were rushing out from inside to avoid being devoured and were surging towards the shore. It wouldn't be long before they attacked the shore.

"We're here! Jack, get down! Wait for me down here!" After a long while, Mabi felt a strange fluctuation in front of her, blocking and interfering with Jack's return. It was the barrier of this world that affected the senses here, making people unconsciously return, which made it seem like there were no boundaries.

"Okay! Be careful, Mabi." Knowing that what was below was not something he could participate in, Jack floated away into the distance after Mabi jumped up.

Mabi rapidly stomped through the air to stabilize her mind, raising her long sword high with countless spatial forces attached to it; victory or defeat hinged on this moment.

"Slash! Sky-Splitting!" Countless spatial abilities surged forth, instantly filling the void before them with countless tiny cracks. As Mabi's longsword continued to cut, the cracks widened and collapsed, forming a continuously expanding black hole that spread outwards! The ocean below became turbulent amidst violent fluctuations. In the distance, a white line could be seen appearing around the ocean, which was the boundary of this world manifested under Mabi's influence.

Mabi sensed the endless physical world behind the black hole, which was the feeling that the two worlds were about to connect. As long as the power from the other side continued to flow over, they could be connected and merged into one world. The rest would be left to them to repair themselves.

"Crack! Crack!" As if endless shattering sounds rang out, the cracked void was directly shattered by a powerful force that spread and devoured the surroundings, and countless shattered fragments were assimilated and dissipated by that force.

"Tap! Tap!" Mabi continued to retreat, dodging the shattered spatial fragments. She looked up at the night sky that appeared at the opening, where twinkling stars shone. It was the scenery of the Grand Line. It seemed that she had succeeded and could go back. The strength she had gained in that space was now enough to survive in this world.

"Damn it! I was too overconfident!" Mabi was furious. Her body went limp and she fell downwards, forgetting that this place was much more solid than that small space. She had just extracted too much spatial energy from her arm and now she couldn't keep up.

“Big Brother Mabi! I’ve come to get you!” Jack ran up and caught Mabi as she fell.

"Jack, thanks!"

"It's nothing!"

“Let’s go. Something terrible might happen to the link between the two worlds. We need to stay with our friends.” Maggie called to Jack as they ran toward the island.

···

"What's wrong with Nami?" Mia asked, noticing Nami's furrowed brows.

"The air's getting humid! The weather's about to change!" Nami said, looking up at the dark, boundless sky, wondering if Maggie had managed to resolve the situation after rushing out.

"Elder, it's bad! The waves! The waves are coming!" The clansmen patrolling the perimeter shouted frantically.

"What waves?" Everyone stood up and asked, seeing his emotional state.

"No need to ask, get out of the way quickly! We'll definitely be swept away by such a huge wave!" Nami shouted, looking at the growing dark shadow in the distance.

"Haha! This huge wave is going to be ours!" The elders at the back looked up and laughed as they saw the waves crashing in from afar. Compared to the attacks of those wild beasts, these waves were nothing to them.

"Fellow tribesmen, we will no longer be trapped here. From now on, we can live in the outside world. Let's show our strength to our friends. Nami and Usopp, watch closely."

"No problem!" Only Usopp and Nami were interested in using these abilities; the others had their own training methods.

"You long-haired tribe! You'd better just stay behind us. This kind of environment is not something you barbarians who only know how to fight at close range can handle."

"Haha! Haha! You guys better hide in the back!"

A group of people raised their weapons and laughed loudly. Although they had already put aside their past grievances, they still didn't hesitate to strike when they had the chance to attack each other.

"You bunch of bastards! Who made us deal with those beasts that attacked you these past few days?" The orc, who was being mocked, retorted just as fiercely. They were helpless in the face of such a large-scale natural disaster. They could attack to save their lives, but they couldn't defend themselves in the short term.

"Haha! We'll need you to deal with them!"

"Stop fooling around! Get ready!" The furious roar stopped the crowd from their commotion.

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" The crowd, which had been making a ruckus, dispersed in an instant.

"Fortified walls and connected cities!"

"Glacier World!"

···

Countless rocks and earthen walls were summoned by their weapons. Huge stone walls and ice walls connected together to form a sky that blotted out the sun, completely covering the nearby living area. The surging waves crashed against them, causing bursts of roars!

"Wow! That's so cool! Nami, Usopp, you guys have to cast these spells for me too!" Luffy shouted, his eyes shining as he stared at the newly formed sky.

"Idiot! This is for fighting, not for performing," Nami retorted, knocking Luffy down with a punch.

Looking at this solid fortress, the special metal here allows him to achieve effects that he can do without eating a Devil Fruit, which is perfect for him.

Chapter 54 Collective Production Storage Space

The next morning.

"Mabi! Help me put the herbs away!"

"Roger that!"

"Mabi! I want to pretend to be meat!"

"no problem!"

"Mabi! You decide what to do with these ingredients!"

"Mabi! These ores will be of some help!"

“Mabi…” Mabi was left behind, busy packing up all the supplies that had been prepared.

···

"I'm so tired!" Mabi slumped on the deck, looking at the beautiful scenery above. She had been called to load cargo all morning and now she didn't want to move a single finger.

"Mabi! Sanji, I want to eat meat!" Luffy's voice shouted from the observation deck.

"No! You're already hungry after only two hours away!" Mabi snapped. Most of the time was spent packing food. After the tsunami, a group of people took advantage of the weakened state of the wild animals to harvest them, slaughter them, and then transport them to Mabi's side, where they were packed into her pockets. Now, there was enough food in her pockets for a ship's crew for several years.

"Haha! Maggie, don't mind me, I found this meat to be delicious and more filling than the previous ones!" Luffy jumped down from above and laughed, stretching out his arm and rushing into the kitchen, causing a commotion and Sanji's roar.

"Damn it! It's not even lunchtime yet, get out of here!"

"Don't do that, Sanji! Maple still has plenty of food, enough for me to eat my fill." Luffy laughed as he pulled out a pile of food, then dragged Chopper, Jack, and George to squat in a corner and start eating.

"Damn it! You'll eat all of these sooner or later!" Sanji shouted angrily as he brought out four drinks. After cursing, he pounced on the few people lying on the chairs and fawned over them.

"Ladies, this is a hydrating drink I specially prepared for you, to make your skin radiant and moisturized."

"You pervert, hurry up and replenish my food, the fridge is almost empty again!" he shouted as he saw Mabi lying on the deck.

“Received!” Mabi groaned weakly.

"Why don't I just make a storage space for each of you? That way you can carry whatever you want with you."

"Really!" Nami, who was lying on the recliner, turned over and poked her head out in surprise. Maggie's personal space was so convenient that everyone would want to have one, but this kind of Devil Fruit is not something you can get just by wanting it.

“Yes! It was made by fusing a piece of space fragment with a portion of bone.” Maby sat up and explained. This was also a new breakthrough for Nielko, which was to use a part of the human body to create a storage space for use.

"Bones! Mami, are you going to tear us apart?" Upon hearing this, Chopper froze, not even noticing Luffy snatching the food from his hand.

"No, no! Bones are the best, but nails are okay too," Maggie hurriedly replied. Although bones were the best, no one except someone like Brooke could afford to give others bones to play with.

"That scared me to death! I really thought I needed my own bones! Mami, make me a chart for the sea." Nami patted her ample bosom in response.

“McBee, I need to decorate some books.” Robin straightened up and smiled, as if to say, “You can do what I want.”
