The Whitebeard Pirates, the white whale that had been sleeping in the four seas, have finally been fully awakened by the bloodshed and betrayal of their family.

When the ancestral giant tortoise, its form resembling a moving continent, turned around and sped towards the end of the Grand Line, the news itself was a bombshell enough to detonate the entire world.

Marine Headquarters, Marineford.

In the Marshal's office, Steelbone Kong slammed the urgent report in his hand onto the table, and the desk, made of the century-old Adam Tree, let out a mournful cry of unbearable weight.

"Has Whitebeard gone mad?! He's actually going to mobilize his entire crew, with Laugh Tale as his target?!"

"The intelligence has been confirmed."

"Warring States" said in a deep voice, his usually confident face now showing a serious expression.

"According to the G-1 branch's report, the Primordial Giant Tortoises are traveling at three times their normal speed, their course is unwavering, and... they seem to possess some kind of special nautical chart that can accurately locate the Final Island."

"What exactly is he trying to do?!"

Kong slammed his fist on the table and roared, "How long has it been since Roger's era? Does he also want to become the second Pirate King and turn this world upside down?!"

New World, Whole Cake Island.

"Mmm... Newgate? Laugh Dru?"

Charlotte Linlin stuffed the intelligence report along with the cream cake next to her into her mouth, her eyes gleaming with greed and calculation.

"Has that old man finally grown tired of his boring family games? Interesting! Very interesting! ONE PIECE... that must be the ultimate wedding cake made with the world's finest ingredients, right?"

The country of Wano, the island of ghosts.

"Hehehehe! Even Whitebeard can't sit still anymore?"

Kaido of the Beasts downed the huge wine bowl in his hand in one gulp and roared disdainfully.

"Go! Go find that so-called One Piece! Perfect, let me see if this thing that drove Roger crazy can really kill me!"

In an instant, the eyes of all the world's top powers were focused on this sea monster that was making all the fuss.

The Navy Headquarters, the Four Emperors, the Revolutionary Army... everyone held their breath, awaiting the upcoming ultimate clash between the kings of the old and new eras.

In the heart of this storm that swept the world, the five stars that stood at the pinnacle of world power in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise were finally shaken like never before by this news.

Between power.

The atmosphere was as heavy as ice that had stood for millennia.

“Marshall D. Teach… that remnant of the D clan actually stole the Fruit of Law.”

The blond Five Elders' voice was hoarse, and he clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh.

"What's more troublesome is that Whitebeard also went berserk because of this, and they actually headed towards Laugh Tale."

The Five Elders holding the sword had icy eyes, and the first generation of the Kitetsu in his hand emitted a slight hum.

"Whether it's Whitebeard or Teach, if they get ONE PIECE, the world order will be completely overturned, and everything we've built up over the past eight hundred years will be destroyed!"

For the first time, a complex expression of fear and greed simultaneously appeared on the faces of the five people.

They knew better than anyone else the terrifying, all-powerful truth that they had concealed with lies for eight hundred years possessed.

"We can't wait any longer."

The tallest of the five elders finally delivered the final verdict, his voice booming like a bell, filled with unquestionable authority.

"Since all the threats have converged on the same place, we can take them all down in one fell swoop."

He slowly stood up, his tall figure casting a huge shadow in the dimly lit room.

"Initiate the final plan."

"Send the shadow of 'God' to the final stage of Laugh Tale, to eliminate all threats from the D. clan, all ants trying to uncover the truth, and that so-called ONE PIECE..."

A cold, all-consuming madness flashed in his eyes.

"Completely purify!"

An unprecedented three-way battle centered around the world's final destination, Laugh Tale, is about to unfold, its grand and bloody curtain about to rise.

This era will eventually reach its most brilliant, yet most tragic, final chapter on this final island, a place filled with laughter and treasures.

Chapter 301 This dish is called [Dawn]

The ancestral giant tortoise's voyage was like an unstoppable arrow aimed at its destination.

Its massive size ignored the bizarre and terrifying weather of the latter half of the New World, weather conditions capable of annihilating any fleet.

Whether it's a hailstorm that can freeze steel instantly or a magnetic storm that can tear space apart, they all seem childish and laughable in the face of its absolute, godlike power.

Finally, after countless days and nights of sailing, a secluded and absolutely tranquil sea lay before them.

There wasn't a breath of wind here, and the sea was as calm as a giant mirror, reflecting the eternal and magnificent Milky Way in the sky, as if time itself had lost its meaning.

In the center of that silent sea, an island shrouded in a colorful, dreamlike mist floats silently.

Rafdru.

We've arrived at the legendary final island.

As the ancestral giant tortoise, with its form resembling a moving continent, slowly approached, everyone was stunned by the sight before them.

This place was not the treasure-filled, glittering place they had imagined.

On the contrary, the island is full of life and joy.

The trees on the island bloom with flowers of different colors depending on people's moods, and the streams flow not with water, but with a sweet liquid that smells faintly of fruit and is like honey.

The air was filled with an indescribable, intoxicating aroma that blended sunshine, grass, wine, and freedom. Just one breath was enough to wash away all fatigue and fill one's heart with the purest joy.

"This...this is...Laugh Tale?"

Gatz looked at the fairytale-like scene before him and felt his brain was a little overwhelmed.

"Gurarararar... Roger really found an amazing place."

As Newgate looked at this land filled with joy, his heart, which had grown somewhat cold from the betrayal, seemed to melt away in this warm atmosphere.

Just then, a laugh filled with arrogance and evil came from the center of the island, breaking the tranquility.

"Zehahaha! Whitebeard, you've finally arrived! But you're a step too late!"

Following the sound, everyone looked and saw Marshall D. Teach standing on a huge, barrel-shaped ancient ruin in a vast open space in the center of the island.

In his hand, he held the Fruit of Law, which radiated the light of order. An invisible force, powerful enough to distort reality, was constantly emanating from the fruit and flowing into the ruins beneath his feet.

In the center of those ruins, quietly stored away, were neither gold and silver treasures nor ancient weapons.

Rather, it is a barrel of exquisite wine, seemingly brewed with all the starlight and joy in the world, inexhaustible and radiating a dreamlike glow.

The wine flowed like a rainbow, each surge seemingly telling an ancient story of freedom and hope.

【Binks' Fine Wine】

This is ONE PIECE.

The real treasure left by Joy Boy.

That is not material wealth, but a purely conceptual ingredient, a crystallization of the joy, freedom and hope of an ancient kingdom for eight hundred years, and the core broth for brewing that pot of "soup of the times".

Teach is attempting to use the power of the Fruit of Law to forcibly distort the will of this barrel of fine wine, to seize the joy that belongs to the whole world for himself, and turn it into a tyrannical wine that belongs only to him, filled with domineering and conquering desires.

"Teach!"

Newgate stared at his son, the one who had betrayed him and murdered his family, and a raging fury, powerful enough to boil the ocean, erupted from his hawk-like eyes.

"Today, I'm going to personally clean house!"

"Hahaha! Dad, times have changed!"

Teach's body jolted violently, and an equally violent aura, filled with darkness and gravity, erupted from him.

He was unaware that he had somehow acquired the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit.

Moreover, his other hand was also surrounded by a pure white, spiderweb-like, cracked halo.

That's... the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit!

"Are you surprised, Dad?"

Teach grinned, revealing a set of uneven teeth.

"On the way here, I took care of that good-for-nothing Jozu, and I accepted his fruit without any hesitation."

"Now, I am the strongest! Whether it's the tremors or the darkness, whether it's the rules or ONE PIECE! Everything in this world will be mine!"

Teach's words were like the sharpest dagger, piercing the hearts of every member of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Jozu... he even...

"You...you deserve to die!"

Newgate could no longer contain his rage. His mountain-like figure vanished from his spot in an instant, and the next second, he appeared in front of Teach.

That fist, wreathed in white light and powerful enough to destroy the world, slammed down towards Teach's face!

"Ha ha ha ha! Well done!"

Teach also threw a punch to meet it, and the two completely different, yet equally powerful, forces of vibration collided violently in mid-air!

Boom!

The entire city of Laugh Tale trembled and groaned violently under the collision of these two forces, as if it would be torn in two at any moment.

The two new and old possessors of the power of vibration, two men who both bear the name D, engage in a fateful duel at the end of this world.

On this battlefield, which was capable of destroying the world, a figure silently fell from the back of the ancestral giant tortoise.

It's Rennes.

He did not participate in that earth-shattering battle, and his eyes showed no emotion whatsoever.

He simply walked calmly to the barrel of Binks's Wine that was being distorted by the power of the laws, reached out and gently touched the cold barrel wall.

A powerful will, filled with joy, freedom, and hope, flowed from his fingertips, as if telling him about an unfulfilled promise spanning eight hundred years.

"I heard you."

Renn murmured to himself, as if responding to an old friend he had never met.

"I will take charge of this banquet."

Almost the instant his words fell, an invisible, enormous shadow filled with an aura of death and nothingness appeared without warning above Laugh Tale, like a black net that was closing in, enveloping the entire island.

The World Government's ultimate weapon, the invisible Void Demon controlled by the will of Im, has descended.

It had no physical form, no sound, but the terrifying aura that could devour all laws and erase all existence caused Newgate and Teach, who were engaged in fierce combat, to involuntarily stop their actions and show an unprecedented solemnity on their faces.

The three forces have finally gathered on this final stage.

An ultimate, world-destroying battle is about to erupt.

However, in the heart of this chaotic battlefield, which was enough to make even the gods tremble, Raine appeared unusually calm.

He seemed to be in another dimension, and the earth-shattering energy storms and collisions of laws outside could not affect him in the slightest.

He was simply like a top chef about to begin a grand culinary ceremony, calmly and methodically carrying out his preparations.

"Old buddy, it's your turn to shine."

Raine's voice was soft, yet it was clearly transmitted to the consciousness of the Primordial Giant Turtle through the connection of the Meaning of Food.

The ancestral giant tortoise let out a long, ancient cry, and its body, which was like a moving continent, slowly approached Laugh Tale. Then, it carefully extended the increasingly mystical twin divine trees that grew on its back into the center of the island.

The tree's roots, like living tentacles, burrowed deep into the land of Laugh Tale, establishing a wondrous energy link with this island filled with joyful will.

Ryan stretched out his hands and gently pressed them against the edge of the enormous basin, which Newgate had carved out himself and which the crew jokingly called the world's largest soup pot.

"Use the Twin Divine Trees as a pot."

His voice was calm, yet it carried a powerful force that made his words law.

The enormous basin instantly shone brightly, and countless mysterious golden runes composed of laws appeared on its inner walls, as if a true divine cauldron was being awakened.

"Use the life energy of the ancestral giant tortoise as fire."

At the bottom of the basin, dozens of energy nodes, resembling blood vessels, were instantly ignited, and a warm and powerful golden flame, full of life and creation, rose from them, illuminating the entire giant cauldron.

After doing all this, Ryan walked up to the barrel of Binks's Wine.
