Dawn mist lingered, the sky-citadel "Raft" hung above the cloud-sea like blocks lifted by invisible strings.
Leon stood in the central plaza, the purple counter on his right hand ticking: 68:15:27. Every second carried the faint sizzle of a 1% coordinate-seed burn—he could hear the pixel sound.Nami unrolled a giant blueprint inked with fluorescent lines: "Plan Orange Mothership Refit."
Core goal: transform the two-kilometre-wide aerial platform into a steerable, sail-able, battle-ready mobile fortress, and finish Phase One—"Power & Armament"—within the remaining sixty-nine hours.Phase One budget: 1.5 billion Berries (land deed paid), five hundred million left for contingencies.Leon opened the system interface and invested last night's "Skill Point +1" into a new branch:[Creative Domain Lv1 Unlocked: allows realisation of MC basic mechanical blocks (max 100×100×100)]First he spawned the "Redstone Energy Core"—a ten-metre crimson cube veined with glowing lines, pulsing like a heart. Its function: provide infinite redstone signal for the entire sky-citadel, a perpetual engine.Nami's eyes widened. "That... that's perpetual motion?"
Leon smiled. "No, that's perpetual blocks."Second step: install the "Ender Propulsion Array".
At each corner of the platform Leon placed an "Ender Propeller"—a purple glowing pillar that folds space when activated, pushing the citadel at thirty knots, silent and trace-less.Third step: armament.
He alloyed remaining "pseudo sea-prism stone" with bedrock to create "Sea-Spirit Cannons"—300 mm calibre, shells compressed sea-prism blocks that suppress Devil-Fruit users and pierce hulls structurally.Twelve turrets circle the platform edge, unified by redstone signal, auto-targeting 360 degrees.Fourth step: life & defence.
Leon generated "Glass-Greenhouse Blocks" for Nami's orange grove, ensuring fruit year-round at ten thousand metres; and "Bedrock Bulwarks"—transparent in peace, rising in war, able to stop large shells.When the first Sea-Spirit Cannon test-fired, the cloud-sea was torn into a vacuum trail; the shell raised a hundred-metre water column thirty kilometres away and snapped a passing pirate ship in half.Nami watched the distant sinking fire and murmured, "We're... really building a war machine."
Leon's expression was complex. "No, we're building a 'home'—one that lets us survive the seventy-second hour."Night fell; Phase One refit complete.
A golden system prompt appeared:[Achievement: Mobile Fortress Phase One]
[Coordinate-seed consumption -5 % (efficiency boost)]
[Remaining countdown: 68:00:00]The sky-citadel was officially renamed—"Orange Mothership".
A new flag rose on the main-mast: orange field, white pixel seagull, snapping in the wind.Leon stood atop the command tower, overlooking the cloud-sea below, voice low but steady:
"Sixty-eight hours—enough to sail to the Grand Line, and enough for the World Government to remember—where the Orange Flag flies, even the sky must give way."Count-down 68 hours—begins.
