The blue circuits of the seabed faded, leaving a dim forest and silent whale bones.
Leon gripped the "Uranus Core," feeling as if he held a black sun—warm, yet capable of scorching the world at any moment.The system voice no longer counted down; instead a calm female tone spoke:[New-World quest-chain loaded]
[Main objective:Write 'pixel rules' into the entire OnePiece world]
[Current progress:0.1 %]Nami patted his shoulder. "Since you chose to stay, change 'going home' to 'setting sail'—next stop, the Grand Line!"Shirahoshi led them through the depths of the Sea Forest to an ancient gateway cloaked in coral—the "Fish-Man Island·Water-Veil Elevator."
Inside the gate was a vacuum water-film that could lift them to the surface instantly while avoiding Marine surveillance.Before stepping in, Shirahoshi handed Leon a scale. "This is the 'Sea King Token.' When you need Laboon or my power, crush it—the whole ocean will answer."Leon embedded the scale into the surface of the Uranus Core; the core flared like a lit black star.The elevator activated; vacuum water-film wrapped the three, and the next instant—
They burst through the surface! Sunlight blazed, sea-wind salty; far away the Red Continent's cliffs towered like a crimson wall across the horizon.Nami unfurled a newly drawn chart, fingertip landing on a route outlined in pixel ink: "This is the 'source-code route' Laboon provided—visible and usable only to us."At the route's end stood the mark "Reverse Mountain·Pixel Gate"—a huge door-frame made of blue blocks, suspended above the mountain's entrance.Leon spawned a "Redstone Navigator," embedded it into the mothership's console; the screen immediately displayed an MC-style map showing hidden supply points, current nodes, and sub-coordinates of "Uranus fragments" along the entire source-code route."This is no longer sailing," Leon murmured, "it's a 'world-scale game map'—and we are the only GMs who can modify the rules."The mothership entered the Reverse Mountain mouth; sea-water surged straight upward like an inverted galaxy.
The pixel-gate slowly opened, glowing characters appearing inside the frame:"Welcome, Pixel Envoys. New-World Chain Loading..."The system voice updated:[Entered source-code route]
[Pixel rules writing begun:0.5 %]
[Next node:Little Garden·Pixel Fossils]Nami hoisted the Orange Flag to the main-mast top; the cloth unfurled in the wind like a burning orange sun.
She turned to Leon, smile brighter than sunlight: "New chart activated—our story truly begins now!"The mothership passed through the pixel-gate, rode the vertical current like a spaceship flying in reverse, charging toward a rewritten world.The New-World Chain—launched.
