Chapter 1255: The Era Must Accelerate! (10k) (End)

The kings of the sea are just like this. They rarely see commoners. The so-called rule is merely ruling the nobles, nobles ruling the lesser nobles, and only the lesser nobles directly contacting the commoners.

But now the problem is that the king doesn’t see anything wrong. He can still rule the people, but the grassroots level has long been controlled by the Sage.

Because the controlled local resources directly connect to those lesser nobles, they have long been loyal, from small to large, layer by layer, making the king lose his power.

As long as it continues this way, those kings and their descendants will always be kings, and no one will cause trouble.

As for the smart ones who know about this, pressured by the Sage’s authority, they can only endure. Although they hope the Straw Hat Gang could win, their numbers are entirely insufficient compared to the vast sea regions.

“Let me tell you, hope… can also be ruled!”

With hands clasped, just before the white meteor comes, suddenly thrust forward.

“Great Red!!!”

Black light bursts completely, like a pitch-black swallowing mouth, engulfing the tiny meteor entirely and bombarding it straight toward the Red Earth Continent.

That day, the earth shakes and mountains sway. The Red Earth Continent, which many believe should exist and seem to never disappear…

From the position of Mary Geoise a massive gap was blasted out, a huge opening covering the entire Grand Line.

Though not entirely, the opened gap is already causing the Grand Line’s climate to leak toward the Four Seas, the Calm Belt around it also begins to disperse gradually.

And the remaining foundation of the Red Earth Continent formed a large island in the Central Sea Region, but because of this, the intersection of the Four Seas became here, another prosperous commercial island.

Even if they are all stones, with strong commercial backing, they’ve still created numerous buildings and business activities.

At the corner of this Red Earth Island, there is also a large courtyard where a black-haired woman with glasses holds a book, and after a while, she turns her head toward several tombstones in the yard, her eyes complex.

…

A few years later, O’hara Royal Palace.

“The Red Earth Continent has been collapsing all along, and Vegapunk predicts it will disintegrate completely in about a hundred years. At the same time, with land mass filling those ‘voids’ in the sea, the sea level will likely drop, exposing the submerged places one by one.”

A mature blonde with large waves reports to a white-haired man: “In fact, there are signs now. People aren’t interested in the One Piece anymore, those going to sea are searching for treasures from sunken kingdoms. Treasure hunting pirates have become a very popular mainstream industry.”

Over the years, Lily has remained unchanged, as if time is frozen before her.

“Then just continue, it’s also a good thing. Development, sometimes you can’t achieve it all at once, a hundred years is a hundred years, such matters will naturally be solved by future generations.” The Sage said.

The Red Earth Continent, he can solve it, but if he blows it all away at once, it wouldn’t be ‘dissolving’. The incarnation of the ‘Karma Fire Serpent’ is now dissolving it bit by bit. Forcing damage would instead raise the sea level further.

Dissolving it can instead lower the sea level.

The sea is just so magical.

“Ah la, come have some snacks.”

Marika still carries in the tray, gently placing snacks for everyone.

Marika is increasingly plump and mature, sometimes the Sage sees her, inexplicably thinking of the word ‘sweetness’.

However, her appearance hasn’t aged, apart from the long adult period of this world, she also has her own controllable factors.

Bam!

A lively, pink-haired girl kicks open the door and bursts in, plops down on the sofa, and grabs a spoon to dig into the strawberry shortcake in front of her.

“I smelled the aroma from the door!”

“Go wash your hands, Letty.” Marika smiles sweetly looking over.

Renedia’s movement stiffens, she sheepishly puts down the spoon and runs off to wash her hands.

Twelve-year-old Renedia also remains unchanged.

This is the privilege of becoming a storm.

As they age, they can freely adjust whether they need to change their physique according to age.

But none of them are willing, even Letty, is too lazy to grow up, always staying twelve. Likewise, her mind stays at this stage.

The Sage chuckled, his fingers brushing a wisp of golden mist.

“Sage…”

Lily also saw it, saying: “Is the Golden Mist appearing so frequently now?”

The Sage smiled gently, “It’s an anchor point. The Mother of the Sea is urging, how is Kuzan handling it now?”

Lily thought for a moment and said: “Not bad, he’s very methodical, not like when he was an Admiral before. Kizaru… Borsalino is also sharing the burden, and they are cooperating with Moriah and others to fully support the existing world.”

The Golden Mist appeared suddenly when he unified the sea. At that time, the Sage understood where the lost memories were.

The world also has parallels.

Here, there’s a landlord who unified the entire sea; over there, there’s a successful naval mutiny warlord.

Naturally, there’s also a normal world where none of that exists, where everything follows the original trajectory without a landlord or warlord.
