Ron's eyes radiated confidence, and his tone became exceptionally calm.
"Nami, come with me to meet Big Mom. As for the arrangement and fusion of the Door-Door Fruit, we'll handle it together."
Upon hearing Ron's words, Nami nodded lightly.
After all, she was now Ron's mount and had to follow him wherever he went.
Although she felt somewhat surprised and puzzled by Big Mom's sudden appearance, she knew well that Ron was always thoughtful and strategic.
Thus, no matter the situation, Nami chose to trust Ron without hesitation.
She adjusted her posture slightly, then transformed into a pink Divine Dragon, carrying Ron as they flew toward the Eternal Kingdom beneath the sky island's cloud layer.
Along the way, The wind whistled past their ears, and Nami's reverence for Ron grew stronger, especially since even a Yonko like Big Mom had come to seek an audience with him.
...
Beneath the sky island, in the Eternal Kingdom.
The floating islands resembled massive aerial fortresses, layered and arranged in tiers above the sea of clouds.
The ship of the Yonko Big Mom was anchored below the lowest floating island.
The crew on board looked up at the scene before them, their eyes filled with awe and disbelief.
"MAMAMAMAMA... What in the world is going on here?" Big Mom stood at the bow, hands on her hips, her gaze sweeping across the dozens of floating islands before her, her face etched with shock and confusion.
Her laughter carried a hint of incredulity, "Why didn't I see so many islands here before? Did these islands fall from the sky?"
Beside her, Katakuri stood with his arms crossed, his expression grave as he observed the scene.
His eyes scanned the islands connected by chains, his mind roiling with astonishment.
Not only were these islands floating in the air, but they were also cleverly divided into seven layers, each connected by thick chains, resembling a colossal aerial labyrinth.
Even more shocking was the absence of sea between these islands.
If one wanted to traverse them, would they have to fly?
"How... were these islands moved here?" Katakuri murmured under his breath, his tone laced with awe and bewilderment.
A name flashed through his mind—Shiki!
That legendary pirate possessed the ability to manipulate islands.
Could it be him?
Perospero stood beside Katakuri, lightly tapping the deck with his candy cane, producing soft clack sounds.
His eyes were equally filled with shock, his tone carrying a hint of disbelief.
"When I saw the news about the Eternal Kingdom in the newspaper earlier, I thought it was just an exaggeration."
"Never expected... to see with my own eyes that Ron actually pulled off something this big right under the Marine's nose!"
Other members of the Big Mom Pirates also began discussing among themselves, each face etched with shock and confusion.
They had never witnessed such a spectacular sight before, nor could they comprehend how these islands had been moved here.
Someone whispered speculatively, "Could Ron truly possess the power to move mountains and seas? Or... is there an even greater force backing him?"
Just as the crowd buzzed with discussion, Katakuri's gaze suddenly fixed on a point in mid-air.
There, a man sat cross-legged, suspended in the air, his expression lazy as if completely indifferent to everything before him.
In his hand, he held a golden staff, and faint arcs of lightning flickered around him—it was the god of Skypiea, Enel.
"Enel, is it?" Katakuri raised an eyebrow, a trace of displeasure in his tone.
"Are you going to make us wait here indefinitely? Is this how the Eternal Kingdom treats its guests?"
Enel dug at his ear, glanced at Katakuri with an indifferent expression, and replied lazily.
"Just wait here. Vice Captain Ron is on his way—what's the rush?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Den Den Mushi in his embrace suddenly rang.
Enel's expression instantly turned respectful.
He hurriedly answered the call, a flattering smile spreading across his face as he spoke in an ingratiating tone.
"Yes, yes, Vice Captain Ron! I understand, I understand! Don't worry, I'll definitely complete the task perfectly!"
After hanging up, Enel's expression returned to its previous laziness.
He looked down at the Big Mom Pirates, a hint of impatience in his voice.
"Wait a moment."
With that, his body instantly transformed into a flash of lightning and vanished from mid-air.
The Big Mom Pirates exchanged bewildered glances, their hearts filled with doubt and dissatisfaction.
However, they also knew that this was Ron's territory, and acting recklessly would only put them at a disadvantage.
Besides, they had come here for a transaction, not for a fight.
After about two or three minutes, Enel's figure reappeared in mid-air.
This time, he was holding a massive door.
The door was pitch black, its surface covered in intricate runes, as if imbued with some mysterious power.
Enel placed the door directly at the edge of the island, then turned to the Big Mom Pirates, his tone carrying a hint of command.
"Vice Captain Ron said anchored your ship below. Climb the iron chains, pass through this door, and you'll be able to meet him."
Upon hearing this, the faces of the Big Mom Pirates showed clear displeasure.
Perospero sneered with a mocking tone in his voice.
"Making us climb chains? Ron sure has a high opinion of himself!"
A cold glint flashed in Katakuri's eyes, but he said nothing.
Instead, he turned to Big Mom and asked quietly, "Mom, what should we do?"
A smile still lingered on Big Mom's face, but a trace of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes.
"MAMAMAMAMA... Since that kid Ron is so sincere, let's go up and take a look. I want to see what tricks he's trying to pull!"
After saying this, Big Mom was the first to leap onto the iron chain.
However, instead of climbing, she summoned Zeus and flew up while sitting on it.
Katakuri and Perospero followed closely behind, and the other members quickly followed suit.
Although they were dissatisfied with Ron's arrangements, they dared not disobey Big Mom's orders.
As the group passed through the massive gate, the scene before them once again left them stunned.
The world beyond the gate seemed like an entirely new realm.
On the floating islands, lush forests thrived, birds sang, and flowers bloomed.
"Is... is this the Eternal Kingdom?" Perospero murmured softly, his tone tinged with awe.
Katakuri's eyes were also filled with astonishment, but he quickly regained his composure and whispered.
"Be careful. Everything here is far from ordinary."
Just then, Ron's figure appeared in their line of sight.
He sat leisurely at a table, sipping tea, his gaze calm as he observed the members of the Big Mom Pirates.
A faint smile laced his tone as he said, "Welcome to the Eternal Kingdom, Big Mom Pirates."
