Ron stretched and yawned, his bones cracking all over.
"After floating in the sky for six whole months, it's time to get moving."
Upon hearing his words, Kuina Robin and the others exchanged glances and smiled.
"Let's go, let's enter the Grand Line."
………………
The day after the floating vessel was spotted near Drum Island on the Grand Line, Marine Headquarters received the news.
"So you've finally reappeared, Traveler Ron..."
Marshal Sengoku's eyes flashed with a cold light as he put down the Den Den Mushi.
He now fully regards Ron as a huge threat that must be dealt with as soon as possible.
He immediately issued an order, instructing Kizaru to take Vice Admirals Onigumo and Doberman aboard a warship and immediately proceed to Drum Island, which was known as the land of medicine.
Warships and numbers are of no use against Ron, the traveler who possesses the Float-Float Fruit ability.
After Kizaru left, Sengoku thought about it again and, just in case, sent a message to Bartholomew Kuma, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
"If you can help Kizaru capture Traveler Roon, that matter can be postponed for another six months."
After a moment of silence, Bartholomew Kuma on the other end of the Den Den Mushi agreed.
Thus, the team sent to capture Traveler Ron became a Marine Headquarters Admiral, two Marine Headquarters Vice Admirals, and a Shichibukai!
When this news spread.
After learning that the traveler Ron, who caused the North Blue incident that shook the seas and then disappeared from everyone's sight for six months, and the floating ship carrying the "Sky Calamity Brigade" had appeared on the Grand Line, and that the Navy had sent such a large force to capture them.
The Grand Line immediately became lively and bustling!
The news dominated the newspapers.
"That traveler Ron disappeared for six months... and finally reappeared!! We've been waiting for you for so long."
"So you've already arrived at the Grand Line, huh, that traveler Ron..."
"Compared to his news, those newly emerging pirate stars are really not qualified at all."
"I wonder what big news that person will create this time. Oh no, I think I'm getting a little excited!"
"looking forward to!"
"A Marine Admiral, two Vice Admirals, and a Shichibukai... My God, are they going to take on the Four Emperors?"
"Ah~ It's over on Drum Island... It's so far from the Sabaody Archipelago, otherwise I would like to go and see it too."
"You? If you go, the aftershocks of the battle alone will kill you. You'd better stay here and wait for the newspaper."
"Um...that makes sense."
"Besides Ron the Traveler, the other members of the Sky Calamity Brigade don't seem to have any combat achievements. I wonder how strong that Steel Witch is... can she hold them off?"
"Probably...it won't work."
"We'll see."
……
Pirates, bounty hunters, reporters, and government intelligence personnel all rushed towards Drum Island.
The reporters, in particular, moved incredibly fast.
After all, it concerns Ron the Traveler, who has the potential to become the fifth emperor of the sea, so the hype is incredibly high.
Moreover, this time the team is led by Admiral Kizaru.
If only we could see Admiral Kizaru face off against Ron, the traveler who disappeared six months ago.
Seeing the other members of the Sky Calamity Brigade demonstrate their abilities and strength.
Either one would be incredibly big news!
If you can't report things in a timely manner, do you even deserve to be a journalist?
132, On Drum Island, a slash that occurred without warning.
At this moment, snow is falling on Cigu Island in the sea.
As Ron led the group onto the island, the system notification sounded in his ears, a sound he hadn't heard in a long time.
[Beep! The system has detected that the host's location, Drum Island, meets the check-in requirements. Checking in will earn you a reward. Would you like to check in?]
"Sign in."
Successfully checked in and received the check-in reward: Health Points +10
Received daily login reward: Healing spell level increased by 2.
Ron checked the attributes of the healing spell, which had become level 2. There was no major difference, except that the number of uses had increased from once a day to twice a day.
"Such heavy snow."
Robin wrapped his white coat tighter around himself.
"
"Yes, it's not even winter yet, so why is it snowing so heavily here?"
Guina patted the snowflakes off her head.
“It’s mainly related to the island’s geography,” Connie said, putting on her hat.
"I can barely see anything ahead. I hope this heavy snow will stop soon."
Ron snapped out of his daze and smiled, "That's easy."
He snapped his fingers, and it was as if a ripple spread from his body.
In the blink of an eye, it enveloped the entire Drum Island, and countless snowflakes suddenly hovered in the air, no longer falling!
The entire island was enveloped in snowflakes!
"How is this going?"
Chopper, who was picking up firewood outside a wooden house, looked up, looking completely bewildered.
"king!"
Dalton, the Zoan-type Ox-Ox Fruit user, strode into the palace.
"what happened?"
Wapol, the current king of the Drum Kingdom castle and a user of the Gluttony Fruit, said somewhat impatiently.
"The blizzard outside suddenly stopped."
"Isn't that a good thing?"
Wapol leaned back on his throne, eyes closed, enjoying being fed by the woman beside him.
"No... the snow outside looks a bit strange."
"strangeness?"
Wapol opened his eyes. "What's so strange about snow?"
"Your Majesty, you'll see when you go out and take a look."
Wahlbo thought for a moment, then stood up and followed Dalton out of the castle perched atop Drum Hill.
Wapol's eyes widened slightly as he looked at the snow and wind that hovered in the air without falling.
"What's going on?!?"
……
Drum Island, where snowflakes float in the air.
In a mountain forest.
Ron and his group walked through the snow.
Robin glanced at the snowflakes hovering in the air, then looked at Ron beside her, who was wearing a black coat, had short black hair, and a black sword at his waist, and asked, "Won't using your ability like this drain your stamina?"
"For me, making an object float is relatively easy, but controlling it requires more physical effort as the object grows larger and heavier."
Ron replied with a smile.
"I see."
Robin nodded slightly.
After walking for a while, the group came into view of a group of huge carnivorous rabbits named Labang.
One of them lunged at the group and tried to bite them.
The group acted as if they hadn't seen it at all, completely ignoring it and continuing to walk forward.
A nearby villager witnessed this and couldn't help but shout a warning.
"Small……"
