In the heart of the Naval Headquarters, a tense and anger-filled atmosphere loomed. Fleet Admiral Sengoku sat behind his antique desk, surrounded by papers and reports from all over the world. Chaos was growing in the command hall, with tables surrounded by generals and military advisors who were presenting reports about conflicts, battles, and challenges facing the navy.
But this time, there was a new threat added to the list of issues troubling Sengoku. News was flooding in like a torrent, and each new report heightened the sense of anxiety. Fragmented reports from various oceans spoke of the appearance of a mysterious and influential building that was causing unprecedented confusion and chaos.
Sengoku quickly reviewed documents and reports about this building, while the frantic tones of the officers tried to catch his attention. He didn't have enough time to absorb all the details, but he realized that there was something bigger than the usual conflicts with pirates. All the reports were linked together to present a vague and intertwined picture.
The new building, as described by those who had seen it, was somehow associated with suspicious activities and a mysterious figure who was constructing and developing these establishments. The building was known for its ability to attract crowds and have a significant impact on the surrounding areas, but more troubling was the evidence suggesting it posed a major threat to naval authority.
Sengoku felt the weight of this news, realizing that this building wasn't just a passing phenomenon but part of a larger scheme that could threaten world stability. All the evidence pointed to this building being connected to an unknown figure with the ability to exert enormous influence by controlling the course of events, which greatly worried the Fleet Admiral.
Amidst the growing turmoil, he picked up the Den Den Mushi from his desk and began dialing the buttons for an urgent call. The distinctive sound of the device pierced the room's silence, and when the call was connected, Sengoku said in a firm and tense voice, "Commander Royagan, I need a detailed and comprehensive report on this mysterious building. The information we have so far is insufficient, and it seems there are matters beyond our understanding. You must act quickly to uncover more secrets. We need to know who is behind this and understand the true dimensions of this threat."
Commander Royagan responded in a determined voice, "Understood, sir. I will gather all the available information and do my utmost to uncover everything related to this building. I will arrange an immediate investigation."
When the call ended, Sengoku looked again at the scattered papers and reports before him and began trying to organize his thoughts. He felt the weight of responsibility on his shoulders, knowing that every wrong step could lead to disaster. He would have to be precise in handling this matter and ensure that all necessary actions were taken in time.
During these tense moments, Sengoku began preparing contingency plans and thinking strategically about how to deal with this threat. There was no room for error, and he had to make sure everything was under control before the situation escalated further.

The island of Ohara was now bustling with life and noise like never before. After the first chapter of the manga was released, the quiet island transformed into a hub of chaos. People gathered in the streets, their eyes eagerly searching for anyone they believed knew something about the mysterious magician who brought them those enchanting comics. Children ran with excitement, and adults spoke with unusual enthusiasm, laughter mixed with shouts, and questions flew from every corner. Everyone wanted more, wanted to know what happens in the next chapter of the manga, and desired to uncover the hidden secrets of the adventure that had only just begun.
Kai was walking among them with quick steps, trying not to draw attention. But he couldn't evade them for long. Someone shouted, "It's him! The magician!" and from there, the real chaos began. Everyone rushed toward him, their eyes full of anticipation and curiosity, bombarding him with frantic questions: "What happens next?", "Is there a new adventure?", "Who is the real hero?", "Are you the owner of these mysterious stores?"
Kai tried hard to avoid them, but he found himself trapped, the voices around him rising like relentless waves crashing against him. He felt like he was in an inescapable whirlpool; the more he tried to escape, the more they closed in around him.
However, after a long chase, Kai skillfully and deftly managed to slip into a narrow alley unnoticed. He stood there to catch his breath, his heart pounding as if it wanted to leap out of his chest, but his mind remained alert. He knew he had to leave the island, or he would never have a moment of peace again.
Kai decided to leave Ohara and continue his journey. He quickly headed toward the coast, avoiding main roads, and began thinking about his next destination. He needed to find a new place, a place where news of his adventures had not yet reached.
He spread his enormous wings and took flight across the vast sky. The ocean horizon stretched out before him, filled with small islands he had yet to visit. With each flap of his wings, he felt his adventure expanding, drawing him closer to realizing his vision.
Kai reached a small island near Ohara. The sea was calm, and the beaches were pristine white. There weren't many inhabitants, making it an ideal place to open a new store. Kai stood there, imagining his next store, just as he had done before. A giant Tree of Knowledge appeared before him, then its branches stretched out and grew again to take the shape of a magnificent building, dazzling in its colors and details.
As the mist thickened around him, Kai envisioned the details of the store in his mind, using his power to rebuild it as he wanted. The system cooperated with him, just as before, replicating everything with meticulous precision. The building slowly rose, then the doors and windows appeared, along with the decorations that adorned it. It was an exact replica of the store in Ohara, but with some improvements Kai had imagined.
Within minutes, the new store was complete. The locals, who had been watching from a distance, approached slowly, their amazement still visible on their faces. Some of them whispered to others, wondering about this stranger who had come to their island and brought with him this mysterious building.
Kai didn't stop there. As soon as he finished building the store, he took off again toward another nearby island. He knew he had to take advantage of this opportunity to open as many stores as possible before the news spread and chaos began again.
In every island he landed on, he repeated the same process. He would create a new store, then leave quickly before attracting attention. He was like a phantom passing by like lightning, sowing the seeds of his adventure everywhere he went.
By the end of the day, Kai stood on the edge of one of the islands, looking out to the distant horizon where the colors of the sea blended with the sky. Now, he had six stores, five in the West Blue and one in the East Blue. He had exerted tremendous effort to reach this number in a short time, but one thought dominated his mind: how could he return to Loguetown quickly?
He was fully aware that crossing the vast distances between the seas to reach there would be a daunting and exhausting challenge. He wondered how he could overcome this geographical barrier. How could he move quickly from place to place without wasting time and energy? The idea of teleportation began to occur to him, a thought that might seem fantastical and impossible, but it wasn't far from the logic of this world where the unknown lurked around every corner.
Kai began thinking deeply, trying to find answers to his complex questions. "If I could teleport from one place to another, everything would change. I could manage my stores easily, return to Loguetown, or anywhere else whenever I wanted. But how could this be achieved? Is there a scientific or magical way to implement this idea?"
While he was immersed in his thoughts, Kai pulled up the system screen, which appeared suddenly as usual. He didn't expect to find a direct solution to his dilemma, but it seemed the system was reading his thoughts with uncanny precision. Words appeared on the screen as if they were written specifically to guide him:
"[Physically, a human cannot teleport from one place to another. But nothing is impossible in this world. Even your arrival here, owner, was nothing more than an act of madness.]"
Kai decided to take advantage of the opportunity to learn more. He began asking the system about how to implement the idea of teleportation. While he was speaking, he noticed that the system was responding with intelligence beyond expectations. The system was evolving noticeably; it was no longer just a tool but had become more like a sentient being that understood Kai's needs and thoughts.
System: "[Your idea can be realized by employing the capabilities of the Art Store, which can include movable spaces, relying on magical arts and advanced drawing techniques. The arts here are not just drawings but gateways between worlds and places.]"
Kai smiled, impressed by the creativity of the idea proposed by the system. "So, if I could draw a magical gate, I could move between locations easily?" Kai asked eagerly.
System: "[Yes, but that requires a deep understanding of magical arts and intense focus on place and time. A small mistake could lead to you being transported to an undesired location or different time.]"
Kai pondered the system's words carefully. The idea seemed complex and fraught with risks, but it was also tempting. "If I could master this art, I would be able to move freely."
But suddenly, when the system screen disappeared, Kai began thinking about something else. "How did the system know that I wasn't from this world? How did it know I was transported here in a strange way?" These questions began to cascade in his mind without stopping.
It was clear that the system had become more than just a tool. It was connected to Kai in an inexplicable way, as if there was a relationship growing more complicated between them with each passing day. More concerning was that the system.
