"It's Rob-dono!"
Kin'emon's eyes widened when he saw Rob walking towards them with a smile on his face and his hands in his pockets.
Oden turned around and saw Rob as well, and at that moment, a bigger smile appeared on his face.
The Nine Red Scabbards stood up to greet the benefactor who saved them from disasters that could have plunged the country into chaos.
The same went for Oden, although he had already thanked Rob on several occasions when they met on Roger's ship.... but he knew that gratitude alone was not enough, no matter how many times he expressed his thanks.
"Welcome to Wano, Rob-dono!"
The voices of the Nine Red Scabbards caught the attention of the residents of Kuri and the inhabitants of different provinces who had arrived here this morning...
They all felt amazed and shocked to see the man behind the art store in person.
...
"Have you made up your mind?" Rob asked, sitting across from Oden.
"I spoke with my father, and he is willing to relinquish the position of Shogun to me at any time, so you can say that."
"Wano will be completely open soon," Oden replied.
"That's good... but you know that to fully open Wano, you'll have to destroy the current Wano... Are you prepared for that?"
Upon hearing that, a strange glimmer appeared in Oden's eyes, and the eyes of the Nine Red Scabbards widened as they listened in silence.
"Do you know?" Oden asked in astonishment.
"Of course? What do you think? I've sent two legendary hunters to guard Pluton for a year and a half after everything... Opening Wano means releasing that terrifying ship once again and destroying the current Wano."
"Why don't you listen to my proposal?"
The more Oden heard, the more enlightened he felt. In the end, he nodded his head to hear Rob's proposal.
"Keep the current Wano as it is, don't worry about the rugged terrain and the difficulty of reaching here. I will create a "Sky Port" from two points here, making it easy to enter and exit Wano through instant transportation... In return, the real Wano will wait for the sunrise a little longer..."
"A little longer... do you mean when One Piece manga ends?" Oden asked curiously.
"Almost... at least when One Piece manga enters its final saga... that will be after the arc about your island directly," Rob answered.
"There's an arc about Wano? As expected... let me guess, I'll be a dead character in that arc, right?"
"...," Rob looked curiously at Oden, who expected an astonishing truth in the manga.
"Don't look at me like that, hahaha! There's something on the final island that reveals the truth that my son Momo is the awaited person who will open Wano, not me."
...
"Were CP0 after Kanjuro's Brush Fruit?"
"Yes, luckily on that day, Issho-dono and Mihawk-dono were here, so we eventually drove them away; otherwise, they would have succeeded in capturing Kanjuro..."
Upon hearing Kin'emon's words, Oden nodded from the side, glad that none of his subordinates, or rather his younger brothers, were harmed while he was at sea.
"They must be planning something; I will find out for sure."
Rob had a mysterious idea about why the World Government wanted the Brush Fruit... After the failure of their own manga, "Heir of the World," suddenly they wanted to enter the world of anime, right?
It was somewhat clear...
...
"Isn't this..."
"How cruel..."
"These Celestial Dragons..."
Suddenly, both Rob and the group heard angry comments from the readers.

"One Piece" Events:
—————————
"Here they come....!!"
One of the people in the crowd thought upon seeing a dog wearing an air bubble walking towards the corpse of the fallen slave pirate whose collar had just exploded.
"Is that a Tenryuu...?" Seeing the dog wearing the bubble, Luffy thought it was the Celestial Dragon mentioned by Hatchan earlier.
"You guys, too - Get on your knees, and don't meet any of their eyes whatever you do!!"
"Don't touch the pet dog, either - the Tenryuubito are right behind it!" Hatchan warned repeatedly.
The pet dog approached the corpse and urinated on it.
"Oh, my... How simply vulgar, 'Saruu'."
"It's them....." Luffy saw a strange woman wearing a spacesuit walking towards the corpse and kicking it, while people knelt right and left.
"Oh, he is certainly useless now..." said the female Celestial Dragon in annoyance as she kicked the dead slave pirate.
"So you meet your end amidst the crying of families and grown men..."
Only the sound of the kick, the splattering of blood, and the heavy breathing of the crowd could be heard.
Seeing this, Luffy's anger towards the Celestial Dragons began to accumulate. "He can't even move anymore...!"
"A mere human such as yourself..."
Seeing this, Hatchan pressed on Luffy's shoulder to stop him from doing anything crazy.
The female Celestial Dragon took out her golden pistol and emptied it into the dead pirate in advance. "Frankly, it sickens me."
"Why, tha-" Luffy was about to shout and jump towards the female Celestial Dragon, but Hatchan closed his mouth and held him back.
"Wait!!! Please!!!"
...
"I think I should like a giant for our next slave," the female Celestial Dragon said arrogantly.
"I think you should start with a merely human child," replied her father beside her.
"But I do so detest the weak..."
...
..
"...I feel sick after seeing that..."
"You think he could survive? Though the marines carried him off..." said Luffy.
"He's a pirate... Even if he survives, it'll be in a cell." Hatchan knew that the poor pirate's fate had already been sealed.
"That pirate... I'm sure he should've been able to beat up an old man and a girl like that!!!" That confused Luffy.
"But if you wound a Tenryuubito... then you'll just find yourself the target of a marine army led by an Admiral from HQ..." said Pappag.
"WHA...?! AN ADMIRAL?!! LIKE AOKIJI?!" Luffy and Chopper were shocked.
"It could be him, could be Akainu or Kizaru... Any of them could be the one to target you."
"After all, the HQ is right on our doorstep here," Pappag added.
"But what makes them so special as all that?!" Chopper asked an important question.
What makes the Celestial Dragons so important to such an extent... Perhaps even the author doesn't know.
"Because they have the blood of the creators in their veins..." said Pappag.
And he added; "Eight hundred years ago, a group of twenty kings... Formed a mighty organization known as the World Government."
"The Tenryuubito are their descendants. And over those many years, they have certainly come to abuse their incredible influence..."

Marigoa:
Inside the art store:
Most of the Celestial Dragons looked at the scene in the manga with confusion.
"Why is Luffy angry at this female Celestial Dragon...?" wondered a droopy-nosed Celestial Dragon, whose mucus was difficult to retrieve to his nostril.
"She's mistreating her disobedient slave only, did she do something wrong?" another Celestial Dragon found the whole situation extremely perplexing.
They had been doing the same things as this female Celestial Dragon since they opened their eyes in this world, but seeing the reaction of their favorite protagonist, who was angry after witnessing one of their customs, made the narrow-minded Celestial Dragons feel that something was amiss.
"This cannot continue, from which holy family does this girl come from that angered my beloved Luffy?!"
A female Celestial Dragon, who loves Luffy, wore an expression to search for this woman's family to cause her some trouble, regardless of her age.
"...Troublesome."
At the same time, the Supreme Commander of the God Knights gazed at the scene that the Celestial Dragons had created with a cold expression.
He despised these feeble minds.
