Chapter 242 – You’re Welcome

  Jayr POV - Blue Star, Grand Line, New World - 21 GAP

  After discussing with Whitebeard about what is going to happen in the near future, receiving his promise in ensuring that he and his men will keep ihe situation in the areas under his trol and a good chuck of the New World by making sure that the pirates will behave, and removing a growing cer before it could fester, I leave behind the Whitebeard Pirates' main ship, the Moby Dick, and soar through the air while carrying Koby using my Telekinesis to head toward my st destination.

  I already see it in the distance, a small, unnamed isnd with a calm tropical climate, full of vegetation and lively but harmless animals, basically, it looks like a small piece of paradise, the perfect pce to rest and rex without any worry.

  Some distance away from the isnd, I also noticed the presence of a big three-mast Galleon with a dragon-like figurehead anchored there, funnily enough, the vessel carried a bunch of palm trees on board, simir to how the Going Merry and the Thousand Sunny carried Nami's tangerirees, that is clearly the ship of my st target, the Red Force, the ship used by the Red Hair Pirates.

  The Red Hair Pirates are aremely infamous and powerful pirate crew ruling in the New World, captained by their chief, Red-Haired Shanks, one of the Four Emperors and a former apprentice of the Roger Pirates.

  The Red Hair Pirates are quite famous as they are the first pirate crew to appear in the manga and the sed to appear in the anime, o the Alvida Pirates.

  They are the main influences on the journeys of both the main protagonist Monkey D. Luffy as he was inspired by Shanks to bee a pirate, and of Usopp, as he wants to bee a brave warrior of the sea just like his father Yasopp.

  After taking a quick look at the ship, I focus my attention on the beach of the isnd where I already see many figures rexing and having fun seemingly without a care about what is happening in the world, but among the many people present, I only reize 4 of them.

  One is a man who has a round body shape, wearing goggles over his eyes, and he is merrily eating a raeat as he jokes around with his panion with a happy smile pstered on his fabsp;

  He wears a green t-shirt with white vertical stripes on it, paired with a matg bandanna on his head, short beige pants with a dark green sash around his waist, and green shoes with fur around the ankles, and he has a yellow coat draped over his shoulders like a cape, with a fur-lined colr and red epaulets with bck stripes on them.

  He is Lucky Roux, one of the Senior Officers, a batant, and the cook of the Red Hair Pirates, despite the fact that not much about him is known, every time he appeared, he was always very close to Shanks, hinting about the trust that Shanks has of his capabilities, and from what I sense, rightly so as from what I sense Lucky Roux is slightly strohan Katagiri, and the most trusted officers of Kaidou, I'd say that he feels more or less at the same level of Marco.

  [colpse]Then I focus on another very familiar individual as his appearance is very simir to his son, Usopp, however, he does not share the same long nose and has blond hair styled in dreadlocks, the former being a hereditary trait of Usopp's mother, as well as her darker shade of hair, moreover, he is muuscur pared to his son.

  He has his name written on his upper right arm while he is dressed in a dark A-shirt, short pants, standard boots, and a rge belt with a bag attached to it, there is also a little neckce around his neck, moreover, he retains his trademark star-patterned cape, and he has his rifle attached to his back via a band.

  He is of course, Yasopp, known as "Chaser", the father of "God" Usopp, one of the Senior Officers and the sniper of the Red Hair Pirates, who just like Lucky Roux hides quite a bit of strength behind his casual and even goofy attitude, his Kenbunshoku Haki (Observation Haki) is especially exceptional in be and mastery, after all, I sehat I entered within his range quite some time ago, hell, his range is even wider than that of Enel, and he used his Devil Fruit to enha to ridiculous proportions.

  [colpse]After those two, my gaze moves to the sed stro person on that isnd, Benn Be, the first mate of the Red Hair Pirates, and damn, he is a strong one, in fact, from what I sense, he is very close to the ceiling of this world's power scale, with the likes of the Admirals, Mihawks, Dragon and any other top fighters.

  Be is a tall man, standing at a height of 2,06 meters, his hair is long, grey, and slicked-back, he also has a rge, X-shaped scar on his left temple.

  His outfit has ged very little pared to what I remember of his first appearan the anime, he now wears a bck, v-neck shirt with three-quarter sleeves along with loose gray pants with numerous pockets oucked inside his buckled boots.

  Like most of the other Red Hair Pirates, he wears a sash around his waist, to which he attaches his trusty rifle in a pistol-like fashion, the only thing added to his attire is his spiral-patterned cloak.

  Spoiler

  [colpse]Of course, in the end, I focus oro and most important person on that isnd, "Red-Haired" Shanks, only known as just "Red Hair", is the chief of the Red Hair Pirates and one of the Four Emperors that rule over the New World, in fact, he is the you of the Four Emperor, even if at the moment, the number is actually two as I have already dealt with Big Mom and Kaidou.

  Shanks is a tall, muscur man with a tan plexion, among the inal lineup of the Four Emperors, he stood out as the smallest, most normal-sized human by far, as the others being inhumanly proportio degrees.

  True to his epithet, Shanks has distinctly red middle-length, wavy hair, which seen from over here looks like a deep crimson.

  Worthy of note is that his current hairstyle is different from the one I remember seeing in the anime in his first appearance, as Shanks' first-seen hairstyle was a straight, middle-parted o loosely down to nape length, with shorter, at eye level, curtained bangs in the front, but now, he has slightly longer hair, wavier, and more slicked back than before, except for some few strands he lets fall down the sides of his face, pushed farther sideward than said prior bangs.

  On his face resides a sedary trademark, a triple set of parallel, linear scars that pass vertically, at an angle over his left, untouched, eye, revealed to have been given to him by Bckbeard some unknown time before the start of the series, in fact, it is very likely that he even received those scars before he actually became an Emperor as he already had them when Luffy was a very young child.

  As did his hair, Shanks' face also went through a few ges, initially, it appeared more youthful, with a soft jawliapering down to a small, pointy , his features were simirly milder than ter depis and, save for his small nose, alser, most so his pin bck eyes, topped by thin brows.

  But now his appearances show him more markedly tenanced, with the square of his jaw, the sharper, narrower pair of eyes, and the chiseled, more promily bridged nose lending him a manlier appearance, more sistently stays his facial hair, however, as he has always kept it in a ly thin e of beard and mustache stubble, f the beginnings of a circle beard.

  Clothes-wise, Shanks used to wear a certain straw hat obtained from Gol D. Roger, his former captain, that was synonymous with his image until he passed it on to Luffy.

  Otherwise, Shanks' outfit always includes a sweeping long, sleeveless, high-colred cape of bck color beh a simple, white shirt half-buttoned up, exposing the middle of his chest and upper abs.

  Additionally, Shanks is wearing a pair of pants with a green-yellow, indisible floral pattern revealing plenty of leg hair, and his shirt is left out of his sash, which is shown holding his saber at his right side.

  Finally, his footwear sists of simple brown sandals, their soles gray studded.

  Additionally, Shanks' left arm is missing from below the deltoid, as a result of him saving Luffy from a Sea King wheure Straw Hat captain was just a child, something I'm pretty sure he did deliberately as it is impossible for someone of the level of Shanks to actually be harmed by such a puny low-level Sea King as the ohat lived in the East Blue he shores of Foosha Vilge, in fact, from what I sense, he could have easily used his Busoshoku Haki (Armament Haki) to let the Sea King chew his arm for hours without receiving any kind of harm, probably the only reason he did so was to teaething to Luffy.

  Or maybe he was so drunk that when he realized what happeo his arm the only thing in his mind was something of the like, "Ow shit! I was more drunk than I thought, luckily it is my left one... Well, better make up a cool-sounding excuse. I bet my arm on the new geion, yeah! that sounds akino will like it too... nothing helps more iing id than heroically saving a lovable kid's life.''

  Spoiler

  [colpse]The man is currently sitting on the sand of the beach watg the sea with a tent smile and of course a bottle of rum in his hand as his crew parties and rexes around him.

  He is indeed one of the most mysterious and at the same time, important background characters of this world, ever sihe beginning of the series, Shanks has been always relevant and someresent or mentiohroughout Luffy's whole adventure, usually being shown apanying Luffy's ever-growiation as a pirate.

  Sailing with the infamer Pirates since he was an infant, Shanks would begin his pirate career on their ship as an apprentice alongside Buggy, before f his own crew following Roger's death.

  Ten years ago, while operating in the East Blue, Shanks inspired the young vilge boy, Monkey D. Luffy to go on his own pirate jourhus being responsible for the boy being the notorious outw he is today.

  He also actally provided Luffy with the Gomu Gomu no Mi to eat, and even sacrificed his left arm to save the boy from beien by the Lord of the Coast out at sea. Most notably, he also owhe straw hat that once beloo Gol D. Roger himself and has bee Luffy's signature accessory, having gifted it to the boy as part of a promise for them to meet again someday, he is indeed quite important to the story of this world, or at the very least it is so in the inal version of it.

  Soon Koby and I nd on the beach right in front of Shanks and casually greet him, "Hello there." which makes all the people present stop what they were doing and focus on us, especially Yasopp, Lucky Roux, Ben Beckmam, who look at us with a very gaze as they weren't able to feel us approag as I have been hiding our presence from their senses.

  But different from them, Shanks appears still rexed as he looks at me and greets back with a grin on his face, "Hello! Hello! To what do I own the pleasure of this visit?" but despite his calm and rexed appearance, I still notice a hint of wariness in his demeanor as his hand is nontly resting on the hilt of his sword ready to hold and draw it in an instant notice.

  I keep my gaze locked on Shanks as I start with introdug ourselves, "My name is Pucci Jayr, wandering doctor, and this young man beside me is Koby, my student and an uping Marine who wishes to bee an Admiral one day and protect the people from everything that bring them harm..." as I introduce him, Koby lightly bows while saying, "o meet you..."

  Meanwhile, I tinue as I move on to the part where I expin to them our reasons for ing here, "... As for the reason behind our presence here... well, to make a long story short, we are here to inform you about a moal event that in the near future is going to ge this world forever, hopefully for the better, and to request your help in making sure that everything flows in the smoothest ossible with as little casualties as possible, especially among the i civilians..."

  After saying that, I start to go into details as I expin to them everything they o know, about the Marinas and their alliah the Ryugu Kingdom, about the Revolutionary Army joining forces with them, about the Void tury, about the Blue Star Union and its objectives, about the deal with the Marine, about the fate of the Big Mom and the Beast Pirates, and of course, about my ret meeting with Whitebeard.

  Needless to say most of the crew of the Red Hair Pirates preseed with shod disbelief to what I just revealed, in fact, the only ohat didn't show any ge on their facial expression were Shanks and Ben Be, especially when I talked about the Void tury as from their reas it seems as they already knew most of what I was telling them.

  But even that ged when I unleashed my presend Spiral o and gave them a glimpse of my capabilities, before telling them about the what kind of force is behind those immi and iable ges, I told them about Poseidon, his in, his goals, and more thahing, the kind of power aation that he unleash.

  In the end, Shanks also agrees to my request to ehat no i civilian will be harmed by pirates and other evildoers trying to take advantage of the chaotic period that will follow the fall of the Wover and the rise of the Blue Star Union, and with that, I gift them a few barrels of my homemade mead before telep back to Fish-man Isnd and enjoy the rest of the remaining time I have left in this Universe rexing with my family and friends.

  Jayr POV - Blue Star, Grand Line, Fish-man Isnd - 21 GAP

  I'm together with my family, friends, and the Royal Family of the Ryugu Kingdom as we watch from the pace the festivities happening all over Fish-man Isnd as the jubint people 't help but show their happiness and joy while tears fall from their eyes.

  It finally happehe Wover fell, and for the first time ever, Fish-man Isnd was illuminated by the light of the sun as Poseidon used his Divine o to make the isnd surface as soon as he learned of his Marina's victory and the Revolutionary Army firmly got the situation under trol.

  After waiting for a few long, tense weeks for their allies to prepare everything, the atta the Wover finally began starting with all the principal facilities of the Wover and major allied kingdoms at the hands of the Revolutionary Army, but since Poseidon wao make sure that nothing ued happened, he also dispatched the Marina Captains and the Marina Soldier all over the world to help the people of the Revolutionary Army in ensuring that their targets were brought down or under trol as soon as possible.

  At the same time, all his Marina Generals under Poseidon's and finally began their swift, devasting atta the Wover, by attag the Holy Land Mary Geoise, which isn't only the capital of the Wover where its top brass resides and govern, the God's Knights have jurisdi, and where the Celestial Dragons reside, but it is also the pce that hosts the Levely, a cil of royalty from various Wover-affiliated nations that is in session every four years, basically, it be said that it is the core of the Wover as whole.

  Thanks to the informatiht by Dragon and the rest of the Revolutionary Army, plus what we all have learned from the Void tury, all of them had clear targets and objectives.

  Sea Horse Baian had to deal with all the military forces within the Holy Land Mary Geoise, especially, he had to focus on the God's Knights.

  Scyl Io had to eliminate all the members of the Cipher Police withiy, free the sves, and help with the evacuations of the civilians and sves using the Sea Kings to transport them to safety, while Limnade Ca?a made sure to use his exceptional talents in Mind Reading to search the minds of everyone, especially the Celestial Dragon, and ruthlessly elimihose among them who aren't worthy of even being called a human being.

  Chrysaor Krishna had one of the most simple and direct jobs, he just had to get rid of the Five Elders, Saint Jaygarcia Saturn, Saint Marcus Mars, Saint Topman Warcury, Saihanbaron V. Nusjuro, Saint Shepherd Ju Peter, well, it was indeed simple, if one ighe fact that all five of them were Mythical Zoype Devil Fruit User, all of which awakened, but surprisingly they were also all Magic User with a powerful form of immortality, which made them quite the tricky oppos, luckily the differen power between Krishna, who is the sed stro Marina General, and them was way too wide, so he was able to emerge victorious, but the resulting fight did devastate the whole Holy Land Mary Geoise.

  Then there was Siren Sorrento, the stro Marina General, he obviously had the toughest job, he had to fight against the mysterious Imu, and what a surprise, Imu was in fact, a tall, geous white-haired woman, at least she appeared so until she seriously started to fight and transformed into a giant eldrich monster.

  From what Sorrento told us, Imu was quite tricky to deal with, not only she hysically very powerful with many strange abilities and powers, but she also had a very strong form of immortality, to the point that she could regee her body from nothing, and even her soul as long as a small piece of it remained intact, and a part of her soul be found in the Devil Fruit Tree that was hidden somewhere, which made it quite tricky to actually kill her.

  Moreover, she was also a very powerful Magic User, and I'm talking about Ehit's level of power, which means she was able to cause destru at a pary level.

  Luckily, Sorrento was more than capable of dealing with her, moreover, he had Poseidon's guide and Divine Prote with him which had a quite deadly effeu as the weakhat all the Devil Fruits share basically inated from her, but not only was her magiable to directly affect Sorrento and his Scale, but every time she touched the Scale she became quite a lot weaker and even allowed Poseidon to locate her the piece of her soul found in the Devil Fruit Tree which was located somewhere within the Red Line.

  Knowing this allowed Sorrento to unleash a full-power Dead End Climax whipletely obliterated Imu's body and with it also a good chuck of the Red Line, in addition to the Devil Fruit Tree hidden underground and the pieu's soul.

  Then Poseidon with his ic Awareness, noticed that very small trau's soul could be found within the Devil Fruits and used his Divine o to gather all the remaining fragments of Imu's soul within the Devil Fruits before they could absorb the life force of the Devil Fruit User to revive her once again and sealed them withihena's Urn.

  After that, Dragon made his move and quickly gathered all the kingdoms that were already on his side, and with the Marine on his side, he established the Blue Star Union and started to work hard to fix every damage and wrongdoing that the Wover did cause throughout all these years.

  Meanwhile, Sorrentht back to Poseidon a piece of the Devil Fruit Tree and intrigued by it, Poseidon chose to transpnt it into his realm and grow it with his Divine o, bidding it to him and erasing all trau from it.

  The result of such a was that the Devil Fruits immediately lost all their i weako water aones, allowing the users to maintain their powers and be able to swim without any problem, but that isn't the only ge, as now, together with the Devil Fruit, another kind of fruit began to grow on the former Devil Fruit Tree, a fruit that Poseidon called Sea Fruits, which allowed those who ate it to evolve their Haki into o, something that we firmed when Koby ate one.

  After the celebrations for the ges that are happening all over the world are over, it is time for us to leave this universe aurn to our home, and so, it is time to say goodbye to our friends.

  Standing in front of me on the shores of Fish-man Isnd there are Koby, Gad, Saphir, Rubis, Emeraude, the Ryugu Royal Family with Jinbe and the Royal Guards, the Marina Generals, Captain, and Soldiers as I say my goodbyes once more while Saori, Seika, Eri, Tio, Alvida, Galen, Kharna, Python, Bidi, Nikita, Zandeer, and Robin, who decided to e with us and learn about the histories of the tless world we will visit, wait for me on the deck of the Athena's God Bidoof.

  Looking at Koby who timidly looks at me with eyes that tell me that he wants to say something but finds himself uo, I immediately realize what is going and then I suddenly remember a se from a movie I saw with the kids, Moana and say, "What I believe you're trying to say is "Thank you."..." making Koby mutter, "Thank you... but..."

  A grin forms on my face as I use my Spiral o to produce a piece of familiar upbeat musid start to sing my own version of a song found in that movie, "?Okay, okay, I see what's happening here. You're face to face with greatness, and it's strange. You don't even know how you feel. It's adorable. Well, it's o see that humans never ge.?"

  While singing the introdu, I watch the fused expression on Koby's and the other's faces as I remove my shirt and take a pose as I tinue, "?Open your eyes, let's begin. Yes, it's really me, it's Jayr. Breathe it in. I know it's a lot. The hair, the bod. When you're staring at a true god.?"

  Then I start to move around him as I tinue, "?What I say except, "You're wele". For the training, the guide, the life. Hey, it's okay, it's okay. You're wele. I'm just an ordinary godly guy.?"

  I start to produce images of the time he spent together with us as I sing, more specifically of the time we traiogether "?Hey! What has two thumbs and shoots you up in the sky when you were training yeah high? This guy! When trained you against the cold, who froze you starting from down below? You're lookin' at him, yo! Oh, also I ssoed a shark. You're wele. To chase after you when you swam. Also, I harhe breeze. You're wele. To form a tornado and turn you firm like trees. So what I say except you're wele. For the mountains, I pulled from the sea. There's o pray, it's okay. You're wele. Ha, I guess it's just my way of being me. You're wele. You're wele.?"

  As he watches the ses appearing around us, tears start to form and fall from Koby's eyes, then the se ges and now show also tidbits of the things I experienced "?Well, e to think of it. Kid, holy I could go on and on I could expin every supernatural phenomenon. The tide, the grass, the ground. Oh, that was Jayr just messing around. I found a baddy. I kicked his nuts. Tortured his soul till' he regrets his acts. What's the lesson? What is the take-away? Don't mess with Jayr when he's on a break-away. And the tattoos here on my skin. Is the result of the things I did. Look where I've been. I make everything happen. Look at that mean mini-Gunmen just tickety-tappin'?"

  At this point, I tap Koby on the back using my Divinity to bless him while also instilling in his mind how to train is newly formed o, at the same time, I tact everyone ohena's God Bidoof ahem to enter inside while telling Bidi to start the process for the Perceptual Teleportation as I sing the st verses, "?Well, anyway let me say, "You're wele". For the wonderful journey you know. Hey, it's okay, it's okay, you're wele. Well, e to think of it, I gotta go. Hey, it's your day to say, "You're wele". 'Cause yoing to make me proud. I'm going away, away, you're wele. 'Cause Jayr do anything but stop.You're wele. You're wele. And thank you!?"

  As soon as the song finishes, I jump on top of the Athena's God Bidoof's ded infuse my Spiral o into it and quickly a golden swirling portal appears in front of the ship, which, under Bidi's trol, flies through it and start the journey back to our home universe.
