Chapter 508 508
Three months later, in Totto Land.
Ships from all over the world, various countries, and factions arrived by invitation to attend the new World Conference.
The Oro Jackson sailed in with the wind, landing steadily at the port of Boro Town.
"Hahahaha, what a magnificent sight! As expected of you, Caesar!"
Roger wasn't wearing his usual captain's attire today but a very formal suit.
His laughter remained as hearty as ever.
Looking down at Tottoland from above, the first thing that caught the eye was an enormous continent.
The former Wano Country had become a small part of this massive landmass.
Those familiar with certain areas would recognize that dozens of islands—such as Whole Cake Island, Donut Island, Candy Island, and Apple Island—formed this gigantic continent, over ten times larger than the Alabasta Kingdom!
"Mamamama, welcome, everyone, to Totto Land!"
Linlin, whose soul had been restored by Teach using the power of the Darkness Fruit, stood at the port with a bright smile, greeting the arrivals.
"Linlin! You're as beautiful as ever! That Caesar fellow is truly lucky, hahaha!"
Roger approached Linlin with over a dozen crew members.
Whoosh—
A sudden gust of wind swept through the area, causing everyone's clothes to flutter.
Behind Roger, Shanks grinned widely. "Dragon, you're early!"
The wind ceased as Dragon, his face weathered and looking at least twenty years older with hair mostly gray, appeared with the Revolutionary Army's two remaining top officials, Ivankov and Koala.
"You're even earlier."
Seeing Roger, Shanks, and the others, Dragon couldn't help but smile.
"It's different. The Revolutionary Army is too busy with disaster relief work. We pirates can't be of much help."
Rayleigh gave a bitter smile.
"Mr. Rayleigh, you're too kind. Without the help of experts like you and Captain Caesar, the losses this time would have been unimaginable."
Dragon paused, speaking with great solemnity: "Additionally, the Revolutionary Army no longer exists. The revolution has ended."
The smile vanished from Shanks' face, his mood suddenly turning heavy.
"This meeting will determine the course of this world. If Caesar..."
"Relax, Shanks. Caesar... he now stands far above us all!"
Dragon patted Shanks on the shoulder.
Then he smiled and looked toward Linlin: "Ms. Linlin, where is Captain Caesar?"
"Hehe, he went out early this morning, said he had some business to attend to."
Linlin smiled.
Suddenly, her expression shifted as she looked toward the distant horizon.
Roger, Dragon, Shanks, and the others all looked up as well.
"Well, he's back."
At this moment, everyone in Whole Cake Island stared open-mouthed at the sky.
High in the heavens, Caesar was walking through the air.
His right hand was raised high, supporting an island twenty kilometers long and wide, a massive dark mass that blotted out the sky like an overwhelming dark cloud!
"Hiss..."
Roger's eyes bulged as he drew a sharp breath.
"My goodness, what terrifying power this is!"
Shanks' gaze was complex.
"Truly awe-inspiring!"
As Caesar returned carrying an island, a huge crowd of onlookers surged out across Whole Cake Island.
"Fufufufu, where did the boss go to move an island from this time? I thought our Whole Cake Island was already big enough."
Doflamingo excitedly used his Thread-Thread Fruit ability, swiftly darting over.
"Who would complain about having too much territory, you idiot!"
A Yellow Sand Tornado came roaring over, landing at the edge of Borro Town.
In the sky, Kaido transformed into a giant dragon, carrying the cheering Ain on his back.
His massive dragon eyes reflected Caesar's figure.
"Wororororo, Caesar! I told you to stop moving islands! If you're willing, this entire world could be yours!"
Kaido's voice was extremely loud, making no attempt to conceal his meaning.
On the ground, the leaders of various countries who had been invited all changed expressions, their faces turning grim.
Linlin glanced at them and snorted lightly, paying them no mind.
Further back, Katakuri, dressed in heavy metal-style clothing, led the direct line of the Barbarossa Family, marching forward in a grand procession.
Beside him was Yamato, hands clasped behind her back, smiling cheerfully.
Yamato wore a sky-blue princess dress, walking as if dancing like a blue butterfly.
"Katakuri, why do you always keep such a stern face? Look, uncle has conquered more territory for you, hehe."
Katakuri's mouth twitched, a few black lines appearing on his forehead.
Not far behind them, Enel with his bruised and swollen face was giving Sanji a strange look.
"Hey, you there, have we met somewhere before?"
Sanji glanced at him briefly before turning away, spreading his hands slightly like a mother hen protecting her chicks, carefully shielding Pudding.
Pudding's abdomen was slightly rounded now, a happy smile on her face as she occasionally cast tender, loving glances at Sanji beside her.
"You..."
Enel's face flushed red with frustration at being ignored.
Suddenly, a vast shadow descended, engulfing Enel's body and causing him to freeze instantly.
He turned his head mechanically.
There stood Gin, cracking his knuckles with a grinding sound, and Loki, grinning ferociously.
"What... what do you want to do?"
...
High above the coast, Caesar laughed uproariously.
"Borororo, this is no ordinary island! Roger, doesn't it look familiar?"
As he spoke, Caesar carried the massive island as if walking on invisible steps in the sky, moving step by step toward the shore.
Amid the roaring sound of seawater, the enormous island was placed beside Boro Town.
Caesar's words made Roger pause in surprise.
When the island settled on the sea's surface, it revealed skyscrapers with a sci-fi aesthetic,
massive stone pillars adorned with ancient murals,
and various colossal sculptures.
At the center of the island, a hazy, shimmering light barrier enveloped the ground, forming an inverted dome.
"Laugh Tale!!"
Roger exclaimed in shock.
"What?"
Roger's shout instantly silenced the countless people present.
Pairs of fervent eyes couldn't help but turn toward the island.
Doflamingo and Crocodile moved closer to Caesar, their eyes fixed intently on everything on the island.
"Is this Laugh Tale? The location of the great treasure, One Piece?"
Leaders from nations around the world also gazed at Laugh Tale with burning eyes.
Although the legend of Laugh Tale became widely known due to Roger's influence, for centuries before Roger, rumors about this final island had already spread across the seas.
Those aware of its existence were mostly royal families of various kingdoms.
Legend had it that whoever found Laugh Tale and obtained what lay upon it could replace the World Government and become the new ruler of the world!
And now, this opportunity was laid bare before everyone!
