I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

This time, the scale of the event is vastly different from before.

This tree is so big that when the sea monsters pulled the ship away from Noah's Ark, it only caused a slight tremor in the seabed silt.

The swaying of Eve, the sun tree rooted in the seabed, was enough to cause the entire seabed to tremble violently.

Rumble.

Amidst the muffled sounds, waves churned in the deep sea, and a tremendous roar echoed from all directions along the water.

Amidst the astonished gazes of the Sea Kings and Neptune, the light of the Sun Tree Eve was gradually consumed by the pitch-black flames!

The deep sea suddenly darkened, returning to its original darkness.

No, it's not just light!

The entire tree seemed to be gradually shrinking as the dark flames spread.

Sig's existence is like a black hole that can devour everything, and under the immense suction force, Yang Tree Eve is gradually entering Sig's body.

In an instant, the entire Sun Tree Eve vanished without a trace, and the abyss was immediately swallowed by complete darkness.

Only the lights from the buildings standing tall on Fishman Island became the sole source of light in this deep sea.

A semi-transparent dialogue panel appeared beside him, and Sieg glanced at the newly sealed Yang Tree Eve.

This time, Sig chose to seal the right leg. He looked down and saw that his thigh was covered with new tree-like patterns, emitting a faint orange-yellow light.

Sun Tree Eve (right leg):

Shared Ability: Sun Tree ----- The sun in the deep sea, thousands of meters below the surface, can absorb sunlight, store and supply massive amounts of solar energy.

Energy Demand --- The massive tree requires a large supply of energy to sustain its life.

"Just as I imagined, the conditions have now been met."

Sig nodded secretly.

"Time waits for no one. The disappearance of the Sun Tree Eve will surely alarm the World Government."

"go!"

He shouted, bringing the completely stunned sea kings back to their senses. The surging telekinetic energy lifted Fishman Island and, together with Noah's Ark, continued to rise towards the surface of the New World.

.......................................

At the summit of the Red Earth lies the sacred land of Mary Geoise.

A tall, slender figure shrouded in a long robe walked through an empty corridor and entered a hall filled with blooming flowers.

This hall seems to be quite old; flowers bloom freely, and butterflies flutter among the petals.

Im gently reached out and touched the flower. Sunlight streamed in through the window, and the flower, which had only been half-open, opened completely at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even the butterflies seemed to be attracted, fluttering around for a while before landing on Im's fingertip.

At that moment, a rumbling vibration came from the floor beneath my feet.

The tremor seemed to be coming from deep underground, causing the windows between the flowers to shake slightly and make a sound.

Startled by the noise, the butterfly that had been resting on Im's fingertip fluttered its wings and flew away.

Im looked up at the butterfly that had flown away, and his previously good mood suddenly sank.

The Red Line is quite stable, and earthquakes are extremely rare, which reminded Im of some unpleasant things.

The last earthquake was two years ago during the Marineford War, caused by Higurashi's attack on the Red Line...

Im turned around, his face grim, about to leave, but his gaze suddenly stopped on a patch of open ground outside the window, and he stopped in his tracks.

Im's figure flashed and he appeared at the location of the giant tree outside the window.

That open space should have had a towering tree, but now the tree has vanished, leaving only a seemingly bottomless pit on the ground.

"Seal off the Holy Land! Investigate what's going on!" Im's voice carried a hint of anger.

The Five Elders had also arrived by this time, kneeling behind Im, their faces all equally ashen.

The disappearance of a colossal tree over 10,000 meters long is an unimaginable feat.

"Could it be that another ability user has secretly infiltrated the Holy Land?" The Five Elders with the mustache frowned.

"...Why did I say 'again'?"

Before long, several CP0 officers in white suits arrived. Under the orders of the Five Elders, they quickly leaped into the abyss.

They walked on moonlight, step by step descending into the seemingly endless abyss below.

After descending over a thousand meters, they discovered a horizontal opening, with traces of fire damage on the soil around its edges.

“I remember now,” one of the CP0 members said gravely.

"This is the hole that the black dragon that was lurking beneath the holy land dug. It seems to be feeding on the underground trunk and roots of the Sun Tree Eve."

"During the Impel Down war, the lurking black dragon appeared and left, leaving this place in ruins. Later, this cave entrance was sealed off and filled in."

At this point, the CP0 officers landed at the edge of the cave entrance to rest. They continued to look down, but could only see complete darkness.

This enormous crater seemed to have no end, with complete darkness below...

Moonwalk is a type of aerial combat technique that is quite physically demanding. It allows for short-term airtime but is not a means of long-term flight.

The fact that these CP0 members could descend thousands of meters already demonstrates their formidable strength, yet this abyss seems to have no end...

"Wait, there's a sound." One of the CP0 members paused, waved for the others to be quiet, and pressed his ear to the ground to listen carefully.

"That sound... seems to be ocean waves?"

"Wait... how could there be ocean waves at the bottom of this abyss?"

The CP0 members exchanged glances, and then their expressions changed drastically.

The Sun Tree Eve was a giant tree that stretched ten thousand meters down to the seabed, but now this giant tree seems to have completely disappeared. So, does this mean that seawater will be pouring up from the gap in the giant tree?

If that's really the case, then not only did the underground part of this Sun Tree Eve disappear, but the underwater part probably disappeared as well.

When CP0 reported this news to the Five Elders, these five elders who controlled the World Government were speechless for a long time.

Who stole the Sun Tree Eve? How did they do it? And why did they steal the tree?

The Five Elders couldn't come up with an answer immediately, but they knew what kind of impact the disappearance of the Sun Tree Eve would have.

"Immediately dispatch a survey vessel to dive and explore the waters around Fishman Island!" the Five Elders ordered.

Chapter 1249 I Have a Dream (4k)

The World Government was originally mobilizing a large force to try to wipe out many rebel forces, including Sig and the NEO Navy, but it has been delayed because of the Fishman Island incident.

The coating process takes time. The next day, after the World Government's survey ship completed the coating, it submerged through the Sabaody Archipelago and headed towards Fishman Island.

However, when they arrived at the underwater area where Fishman Island was located, they discovered a shocking scene.

Everything is gone.

When the deep sea lost the light source of Eve the Sun Tree, all that remained was darkness.

It took them a lot of effort to locate Fishman Island.

Fishman Island is completely gone, and the Sun Tree Eve has vanished entirely, leaving only a huge crater on the seabed.

On the other side, outside Fishman Island, the giant ship Noah, which had existed for over 800 years, had also disappeared.

"Not only is Yangshu Eve missing, but the entire Fishman Island has also disappeared?"

This scene astonished everyone present at CP0; something they were familiar with had vanished without a trace in a single day.

"It's not just that Yangshu Eve and Fishman Island are missing; there are millions of people on Fishman Island... How did they disappear?"

"No...and it's not just Fishman Island. Don't you think this deep sea is too quiet?" The CP0 members' expressions became even more serious.

"What happened to those colossal sea monsters that lived in the deep sea? Why have they disappeared as well?"

What they saw was beyond their comprehension. It was utterly absurd—completely outrageous.

Fishman Island, Noah's Ark, Eve the Sun Tree, and even the five million inhabitants of Fishman Island and the sea kings that lived around it, all disappeared.

"Has this place been robbed by pirates?"

"No, pirates looting? They looted everything so thoroughly, they practically scraped the ground clean. What kind of person could do something like this?"

"What do you mean by 'scraping the land'? This means they left nothing behind, not even the land, not even the people or the island, not even a single thread!"

When CP0 surfaced again and reported the news back to the World Government, the Five Elders remained silent for a long time. The mysterious disappearance of Fish-Man Island and Eve the Sun Tree had a significant impact.

"Will the Fishman Island route still be passable in the future?" the Five Old Star with the mustache hesitated.

Following standard procedure, the coated ships, guided by the sunlight of Eve the Sun Tree, arrive at Fish-Man Island, a depth of 10,000 meters, where they rest and repair themselves. On the island, ships potentially vulnerable to attacks by Sea Kings are repaired, and after being recoated, they surface to enter the New World.

Without the Sun Tree Eve and Fishman Island as a transit point, the danger level of the deep-sea route to Fishman Island will increase significantly.

CP0 was able to return successfully because they were familiar with the location of Fishman Island, but what about the other rookie pirates who were trying to enter the New World?

More likely, they are completely lost in the deep abyss.

"No...this may have exceeded our expectations, but perhaps it's not a bad thing." The Five Elders with Swords slowly shook their heads.

"The deep-sea routes into the New World are illegal. They are usually used by pirates to smuggle themselves into the New World."

"If this route no longer exists, then the New World and the first half of the Grand Line will be severed, making it difficult for newcomers from the first half to enter the New World, and making it difficult for pirates from the New World to return to the first half."

"Our World Government controls the Red Line shipping route and allows ships to navigate through the gap in the Red Line... This is not a bad thing."

After a thorough analysis, the Five Elders gradually calmed down.

"Nevertheless, the disappearance of Yangshu Eve is no small matter and must be thoroughly investigated to find out who is behind it..."

The World Government member states already have to pay enough Heavenly Gold, but this time the Five Elders encountered someone who was far more ruthless than they had ever been, which was enough to make even the Celestial Dragons admit they were experts.

..............................................................

The entrance sea area of ​​​​the new world.

A massive fleet is stationed in this sea area, its sails casting heavy shadows in the sunlight.

Most of these ships belonged to the Revolutionary Army, while a small number belonged to the NEO Navy. One particularly large ship was Sig's Doksan Island ship.

On the deck, Zefa, leaning on his cane, gazed at the heavy sails of the revolutionary fleet and couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion.

"Your revolutionary army has a lot of ships. Not only a lot, but the ships are also quite advanced. It seems that you have developed well in recent years."
