"Noreparations are mostly plete..." El gathered the entire Fallen Angel Pirate Crew, g his hands and smiling as he spoke. “Let’s move forward with the pn. Linlin, you’ll lead Nef, Rock, Lillian, and the others on Atntis to Birka to search for that fruit.”

  “The Rumble-Rumble Fruit, a Logia type, right?” Linlin, Gerd, and the others nodded. El had previously mentioned obtaining ihat hi the Rumble-Rumble Fruit’s location on Birka.

  “Heh, if we secure it and train someone capable enough, we’d have an endless supply of ‘mobile energy,’” Ryan said eagerly, grinning. “I estimate it might even surpass the current power of Atntis.”

  “Even if we’re not sure it’s there, we ’t pass up the ce,” El said with a shrug and a smile. “Linlin, your team should head over to begin the search. The Rumble-Rumble Fruit is one of the most powerful Logia-type fruits.”

  Though they didn’t know for certain, they had to iigate thhly.

  “I’ll take Gerd, Moss, Barry, Uthan, and Ryan ao Water 7 to meet with Sally…”

  Yes, he inteo go to Water 7 to obtain the blueprints for the A on, Pluton. Even if they couldn’t build it ht, Ryan’s stific prowess, bined with his Munch-Munch abilities, could help decode advaeology from Pluton’s on systems. This would enhahe angel army’s capabilities and the defenses of Atntis.

  Of course, the Pluton blueprints were only a side objective. Their main goal was Impel Down, the world’s greatest uer prison. The Wover had iently provided the perfect source of souls—they wouldn’t o hunt far and wide but could harvest thousands of prisoner souls all in one pce. Additionally, they could secure multiple Devil Fruits along the way.

  “Uood!”

  …

  “Goodbye, Leo! Take care!”

  “To everyone in the Fallen Angel Pirate Crew—safe travels!”

  By noon, amidst heartfelt farewells from the Shandian tribe, Atntis had left the seas around Skypiea and was heading toward Birka, the distant sky isnd.

  Meanwhile, in the Mirror World…

  El, Moss, Ryan, Uthan, Gerd, and the others had traveled into the Mirror World via Barry’s powers. As they took in the endless red-checkered expanse lined with tless mirrors that appeared to stretfinitely, Gerd asked Barry, “ you firm our position?”

  “No worries,” Barry replied fidently, leading the way. “I’ve marked Sally’s mirror. No matter how far, I find it—it’ll just take some time.”

  “Heh, the Mirror World is amazing!” Ryan marveled, gazing around in awe. As he tapped on a mirror, a woman far away, currently applying makeup, gasped and fainted, seeing an unfamiliar face appear in her mirror. In the Mirror World, the crew could see the outside world through the mirrors, and those close enough to the mirrors could also see them back.

  “Definitely ve!” Uthan remarked, though it wasn’t his first time here. His Door-Door Fruit abilities were powerful, capable of opening portals and even accessing a pocket dimension, but they didn’t grant inter-isnd travel like Barry’s Mirror-Mirror Fruit. Perhaps if he awakened his powers to their rumored potential, he might achieve simir feats.

  The Mirror World was immense, filled with tless mirrors that dazzled and disoriehe group moved tinuously through the mirror corridors, and even Barry, with his Mirror-Mirror Fruit abilities, took nearly an hour to navigate.

  Finally, by the afternoon, they located the marked mirror in the Mirror World. Barry knocked on it, signaling their arrival.

  "Ah, El-sama, Gerd, everyone… you’ve finally arrived!" In a spacious, hidden underground room in Water 7, the shape-shifting witch Sally appeared, smiling as she approached El, who had already shrunk his form down to around three or four meters, along with Gerd, Moss, Barry, Ryan, and the others. Boldly, she hugged El.

  "Hey, Sally…” Gerd’s eyes twitched, a glint of irritation crossing her face.

  "e on, Gerd," Sally teased, unfazed. She gave Gerd a seductive look, lig her lips. "With Linlin gone, we could split El equally and do whatever we want."

  Gerd huffed but felt a hint of temptation. She and Linlin were close friends, and both shared feelings for El. Although they didn’t hide their iions, they were always on guard, unwilling to let the ain an advantage. Being the younger one, Linlin was more sensitive. Out of sideration for her, Gerd restrained herself when Linlin was around.

  Meanwhile, Moss, Barry, and the others discreetly took their seats, tactfully ign the exge. This rivate matter for their captain, after all.

  "Alright, Sally, let’s focus," El said, gently moving her aside as he settled into a seat. "Have you firmed the target?"

  "Yes, it's firmed," Sally replied, handing El a file. "Fish-men Tom—he’s only in his twenties but already a renowned shipwright on this isnd. He studied uhe famous shipwright Babakks, and after his teacher’s death, he stayed in Water 7 to establish Tom’s Workers. However, because he’s a fishman, he’s faced discrimination and exclusion from other shipbuilding panies here, making it difficult for his busio grow.”

  "Fish-men Tom?” Gerd raised an eyebrow. She turo El and said, “In that case, we could sider inviting him to join us. The Fallen Angel Pirates have no patience for prejudice. If he’s as talented as Sally says, he could help us build advanced warships.”

  “That’s an idea, but let’s not rush,” El replied, looking through Tom’s file. “Even with an invitation, he might not want to leave Water 7. Wheto Land pn goes into a, we’ll send Jien to invite him. But for now, it’s nent.”

  "By the way, I’ve found rumors about the a on, Pluton," Sally said, shifting to a serious tone. "Although I ’t firm it pletely, given Tom’s training under Water 7’s best shipwright, he’s a likely didate."

  "Pluton’s blueprints?" Ryan’s eyes glinted. "That thing supposedly destroy aire isnd with a single shot."

  As a skilled stist, Ryan was deeply intrigued by the potential of an a on with such destructive power.

  “Then we move tonight.”
