Above the Sky, a ship could be seen flying in a certain direction slowly.
The ship was dragon-headed with its mouth slightly open and looked menacing.
The ship was a crimson black with a Jolly Roger hanging from its main mast, Jolly Roger has a skull painted on it with the mouth of a dragon that seems to want to swallow this whole skull signifies that this ship is a Pirate Ship.
Inside the ship, there are six women left alone by the only man on board who goes to a place they do not know.
The six women were named, Rose, Ophis, Irene, Erza, Shirone, and Kuroka.
"You sure the place is fun, Rose?" asked the impatient Shirone waiting for them to get to that place and have some fun.
"That's what I heard from Marco, he said there was a fun place" said Rose, who had no idea what it was.
"When are we gonna get there?" ask Erza
"I don't know" Rose said
"Are you sure there's a place to buy the things I need?" ask Irene
"Yes, but Marco said we had to have Berries to pay for everything, so I made a lot" Rose said
"At least silver should have taken me" Kuroka lamented.
"Kue?" ask Ophis who finished all the cookies Silver gave her.
"Yes, you have to stop eating too much Ophis cake" Rose said.
"No" rejected Ophis.
"Oh, alright," Rose said helplessly.
As the group spoke, the ship finally began to descend.
The ship's lumbering troupe would finally get out of the kitchen and go to the deck of the ship and look down.
As the flying ship descended, the group could now finally see the place Rose was talking about.
The place is circular in shape, mostly covered by bubbles and only a small amount of green coming from the trees is visible from its outer boundary.
"Bubble?" shirone
"The bubble" said Irene
"Yes," said Kuroka
"It appeared!" erza
"Of course" Rose said
Ophis said nothing and only looked at the place as the ship flew down.
The place they saw was called the Sabaody Archipelago.
The Sabaody Archipelago is the last island in Heaven, close to the Red Line.
Though called islands, it is actually a large mangrove forest that grows from the middle of the sea with every tree in the forest serving as an "island" where people live.
Since it was only a group of trees and not an island like the one found on the Grand Line, it did not have the magnetic pull to affect the Log Pose.
Because the place is near the part of the Red Line bordering the first half of the Grand Line and the New World, this is a highly visited stop for all types of travelers to prepare themselves before entering the New World.
In addition to its unique environment and being a thriving business center, it is famous for the World Nobles who visit there and the thriving slave trade supported by them.
Not long after, the ship fell into the water as the water splashed onto someone standing on the ground right in front of the water higher than the seawater.
Rose then said from the ship, "Finally arrived!"
"Don't know?" said Rose
"There's someone there" Kuroka said
"Ohh! Nice work! Let's get him to guard the ship" Rose said
A person who was affected by the splash of water earlier was an old man with a relatively high height with a very strong and firm stature. Two of the most distinguishing features are round glasses and facial hair, which are set above its lower jaw. He also has a scar on his right eye, which he has had for years.
Wearing only t-shirts, shorts, and sandals are almost plain. She also seems to enjoy the cover of a large silver hooded robe, although the hood often comes down. Under these clothes, the old man's body was surprisingly stocky and extremely firm, a testament to his incredible strength.
The old man wiped the water splashed onto his glasses earlier and said, "What an unusual ship"
Rose and the others then jumped off the ship towards the old man standing up, Rose then said, "Old man, can you take care of our ship and guard for a while? We want to go have fun" while staring at the old man.
"Why? Can you tell me your name?" the old man said but he definitely knew about them because he saw them from the bounty paper but decided to just ask, he wanted to talk to them because they were all so beautiful.
"Why not, Rose's name"
"Ophis"
"Irene"
"Erza"
"Shirone"
"Kuroka"
Introducing group.
The curious Shirone frowned. He said, "Didn't he look like someone Roger kept talking about?" pointing at the old man.
"Yes, he seems like the one he's talking about," Irene said
The old man frowned hearing Roger's name, he asked: "Which Roger are you talking about?"
"The Pirate King is what Silver said. What's your name, old man?" ask Rose
The old man became curious, thinking, 'How could they know the Captain, he had to die when these girls were born or they had been born before several years before his death' looking at girls who look like them in their 20s or teens, especially Shirone who looks like they are 16-17 years old.
He then said, "His name is Rayleigh, Silvers Rayleigh," Rayleigh said.
"Ohh! This is it, Dark King Rayleigh" Shirone said
"Is he strong?" ask Erza who wasn't there when Silver and Roger told the group about her.
"Reyleigh, which one of you is stronger, you or Roger?" ask Rose
"The captain is much stronger" Rayleigh said
"You're not strong then. So, watch our ship for now, okay?" ask Rose
The group then started walking away but before they could even take 5 steps away, Rayleigh asked: "How do you know the captain?"
"Well, he was in the Empire with his wife, yes," said Rose and the group left behind a stunned Rayleigh.
Rayleigh could not believe what he heard and thought, 'Empire? Which empire? Is it a hidden empire? We have traveled the sea for many years and even reached Raftel and read the history of the world, but which Empire? And the captain's wife? Shouldn't Rouge be dead?' and many other things.
Rayleigh wanted to chase them and ask more things about what they meant by what they said to him but decided not to do it because when he secretly used his Observation Haki inward the group, he could hardly bear it, especially the two people named Rose. and Ophis. He had never felt such strength in his entire life.
He asked himself, 'Who are they?'
When the group finally disappeared from his sight, Rayleigh sat right where he stood and just waited for the group to return, while watching the ship and guarding it for some time.
