Invisible threads intertwined to form a complex web of events, unknown destinies, and undiscovered fates, embodied in a place called the Sorbet Kingdom in the South Blue.
Such threads were already entwined in every island in this world but to varying degrees.
The Sorbet Kingdom was the largest and most prominent in the South Blue.
In the East Blue, there was Dawn Island.
In the North Blue, there was Flevance.
In the first half of the Grand Line, the Alabasta Kingdom which had transformed into a new Sky Island.
And in the second half of the Grand Line, there was a small point at the end of the world. Only the Pirate King Roger and his crew had reached it in the last 800 years, Laugh Tale.
But in the midst of this world, above the Red Line in the Holy Land, the largest complex network of threads in the entire world was forming...
A few threads of it were woven and extended to a distant place in the far west. Interestingly, this place in the West Blue was a focal point for many threads across the Pirate World.
All these interwoven threads converged into a wealth of information that formed the essence of the world in the hands of a man.
"So, this is how it is. I believe I'm starting to understand the essence of the matter and the truth of what happened to me."
In his personal room inside the art store in Ohara, Rob, who had returned from the New World, read Chapter 1100 of the One Piece manga that was suddenly released.
The system shop was the only link he had left from the real world. In the end, it turned out to be truly important, the only thing that could be real in this illusory world.
"The true story of Kuma is very impactful. It's challenging to anticipate its essence beyond some superficial aspects."
"Was I too naive? I created a completely different world from the original. Bonney shouldn't exist at this time. So who is this 'Bonney' accompanying Kuma?"
"What happened to Ginny? Where did she disappear before she was supposed to vanish?"
Rob took a deep breath. At this moment, he was in a strange state between enlightenment and confusion.
But he 'was spared' from noticing the threads of fate that connected him to another world above all existence.
Rob took out the feather with which everything began. With this feather, he started drawing One Piece manga. It could be said that everything truly began with it.
"Should I continue or stop?"
As these thoughts crossed his mind, he felt a choking sensation, as if death was just a step away. The threads connecting him to 'the world above all existence' started tearing one after another. The same happened to the threads whose end was between his fingers, they trembled and tore.
At this moment, Rob felt he could end everything with just the thought of stopping everything. But the instinct to survive warned him like a seventh-morning alarm to not stop immediately and regain control of the situation.
"I'll continue."
After regaining his determination, the feeling of choking subsided, and the torn threads reconnected as if nothing had happened. Everything returned to normal.
"So, are you asking me to fill the gaps myself, or will I die when I can't continue?"
Now Rob finally knew how he would die if he truly stopped drawing manga and ceased to adhere to the conditions he set in the poll before coming here.
Everything was already set from the beginning. He had linked his fate to the existence he called the 'Divine Network' at that time. Even if he was immortal, stopping what had been set up would cancel the link, and he would cease to exist. With him, the world itself and everything in it would cease to exist!
(Author's note: This is what happens when a story is dropped. The world dies, along with the protagonist and everyone else in that world.)
So, Rob finally understood a little secret about his transition to this world.
Everything he did in this world so far, every step, every breath, every emotion he created, every bond he formed, every event he influenced, was not a lie in the literal sense of the word, but truly real. At the same time, it all depended on him.
Since he obtained the power of the 'Mangaka' and controlled a few threads of the world, he became almost a god with complete power in this world! Unfortunately, he was the weakest and most pitiful god among the gods.
Rob finally realized that this world was shaped based on his consciousness. Characters like Bonney appeared in existence because he believed they already existed, no more and no less.
Initially, he was afraid of this realization, but after feeling the threat looming, he decided to finally accept and live with it.
...
Outside, the world was going on as it pleased.
The world was enjoying One Piece manga and the new volume.
Here in Ohara, readers were laughing heartily at the predicament of the three, Luffy, Buggy, and the well-known Mister 3.

Chapter 529's Events:
—————————
[Level 2, The floor of demon beasts.]
"Bara Bara Cannon!!" exclaimed Buggy.
"Gomu Gomu Pistol!!!" Luffy, too.
"Candle Lock!!!" And Mister 3 too.
At this moment, Buggy, Luffy, and Mister 3 were fighting the monsters that were chasing them intensely.
"These damn monsters!! They just keep coming!!" exclaimed Buggy.
"Uwah!! That giant centipede just exploded!!" Luffy's eyes widened.
"That thing's made up of smaller puzzle scorpions!! They're super poisonous!!"
"Now that I think about it, I heard that the boss of the beasts in Level 2 is supposed to look like a lion… Are these guys it!!?" asked Buggy.
"No!! Those are manticores, man-eating lions with human faces!" clarified Mister 3.
"If they catch you, they'll even eat your bones!!"
[Level 2 guards. Manticore.]
"The key…!!" "Give us the key…!!"
"Eh!?" Buggy and Luffy were shocked to hear them speak like humans.
"Don't listen to them. They have human parts, so they can imitate human speech!!" clarified Mister 3 once again.
"They remember what the prisoners say, but they have no idea what the words mean!!"
"That's creepy!!" Buggy was shocked.
"Fun doshi! Fun doshi!" "Strawberry panties!" chanted the Manticores who were chasing them.
"Where did they learn those stupid words!!?" exclaimed Buggy.
"Beef steal!"
"Eh?" Luffy responded instinctively upon hearing the word 'Beef'!
"Don't respond!!" Buggy slapped Luffy.
•———•———•———•———•———•
"Hahahaha!"
"Hahahaha! That's funny."
"Adding Mister 3 made things even more amusing!"
"Hahaha! I look forward to more joining of funny and familiar faces!"
"It'll be fun in the upcoming chapters! Hahaha! Looking forward to it!"
"Hahaha! These Manticores are really funny animals! I wonder where the government gets them!"
"They are carnivorous beasts, man, otherwise how would they qualify to be demonic beasts on the second floor of Impel Down?"
"Are you foolish!? I don't want to meet such a monster! I don't have Luffy's strength after all!"
"But you're right! Hahaha! It's funny how they can remember words; they're like parrots in that regard."
"What's up with Mister 3? Hahaha! The moment he heard that Luffy wanted to go to the third floor, he escaped immediately!"
"That's because he wanted to go to the first floor... why does he have to go down?"
"He and Buggy are the same... but unfortunately, since they met Luffy, they will be dragged down to the lower floors one way or another!"
"Hahaha! That's the most amusing thing for me!"
The readers in Ohara were thoroughly enjoying the current scenario, the humorous progression of events, which deviated a little from the seemingly hopeless and sad situation concerning Ace.
