One Piece: Supreme Check-In System-Chapter 43: The Master Goes Out to Sea

The golden domes of Ryugu Palace faded slowly into the blue haze of the deep sea. The Voidreign ship, shimmering with reinforced pressure glass and coated in luminous sea-stone armor, began its final descent into the ocean depths — heading directly toward the New World.

At the ship's edge, Shirahoshi turned back for one last look at her home.

There they stood — King Neptune and her three brothers, waving with pride and tears in their eyes. Their figures grew smaller and blurrier until the shadows of the palace walls swallowed them.

A lump formed in Shirahoshi's throat.

"I'll miss you... Father... Fukaboshi... everyone..."

She gently touched the Mermaid Shell Transmuter hanging on her necklace, now glowing faintly, helping her keep her legs and human form steady on the ship.

Jessie, watching silently from a few steps away, noticed her expression.

He walked toward her, his voice calm. "You okay?"

Shirahoshi blinked, trying not to cry. "I... I'm happy. Truly. But it's my first time being this far from home... without them."

Jessie gave her a soft smile. "Homesickness is normal. You're not alone anymore, Shirahoshi. You have a new family now."

Then he turned toward the deck and raised his hand.

"Time for a banquet!" he declared. "Let's celebrate our new crew — and our journey to the New World!"

Suddenly, from Blackeye Panda's oversized backpack, a shimmering orb glowed. The system's light projected into the air, forming a floating label:

[System Prop: Unilimited Food]

Blackeye Panda waddled forward and placed the shimmering big gadget on the deck. The moment it touched the ground, it burst open — spilling out waves of floating trays, fruit baskets, roasted meats, bubbling soup cauldrons, sizzling seafood, freshly baked breads, cakes, and bottles of tropical juice and soda.

Shirahoshi's eyes widened in wonder, and the sorrow that had clung to her heart began to melt.

The air filled with the warmth of laughter, the clink of dishes, and the scent of freshly grilled takoyaki. She slowly walked toward the panda, who handed her a tray of her favorite sea-salt pudding and melon cake.

"Thank you, Mr. Panda," she giggled, sitting beside him.

"Grk-panda," the creature grunted happily, chugging a jug of juice larger than his own head.

As music played and the crew celebrated, something stirred in the distance... deep beneath the veil of darkness and pressure.

Far out in the vast, silent trench, a shadow passed.

Then another.

Massive forms — serpentine and regal, their eyes glowing faintly — began to emerge from hidden crevices, drawn by an ancient pull in the ocean current.

They were Sea Kings — titanic beings older than islands, wiser than time.

One of them, a long-bearded elder with curling horns and coral-covered scales, watched the passing ship with reverence.

"The Master of the Sea... has gone out once again," it said in a deep, rumbling voice.

Another Sea King, smaller but just as old, murmured, "What should we do, Elder?"

The elder looked down solemnly. "Nothing. We can do nothing. For once again, those aboard this ship... are full of monster, can able to destroy this world."

"This is the first time I've seen it," whispered a third Sea King, its eyes wide with ancient memory. "Not since a thousand years ago has a journey like this begun."

The rest of the Sea Kings, stirred by something deep in the ocean's soul, watched in silence.

Then, one by one... they faded back into the abyss, returning to slumber.

Back aboard the Voidreign, Shirahoshi looked up — sensing their presence.

She saw them, distant yet unmistakable: Sea Kings, their colossal bodies weaving through the shadows, watching in peace.

"I never thought... they'd come just to watch me leave," she whispered in awe.

Jessie joined her at the railing, eyes narrowing.

"They didn't come for just you," he said softly. "They came for something greater. You're part of it now."

And then... from the dark currents, came something even more majestic.

Whales.

Hundreds of them.

Majestic, silver-striped whales glided along the ocean current, swimming alongside the Voidreign's ship — like an escort of nature itself. Their echoing calls filled the ocean with soft music, harmonizing with the ship's hum.

Uta, overwhelmed by the beauty, stood on the edge of the deck and raised her arms.

"This moment... deserves a song!"

Her voice rang out — pure, echoing through the ship, vibrating through the water like a lullaby for the deep sea.

A melody of hope... a song for adventure... and a hymn to those who dare to chase the unknown.

The crew listened in silence, some swaying with the tune, others quietly taking in the scenery.

Three hours passed in this breathtaking journey — one filled with singing, food, laughter, and mystery.

Then, slowly... the light began to change.

The ocean around them turned darker... heavier. The current thickened. A faint line shimmered in the distance — the division point between the First Half of the Grand Line and the legendary, perilous seas beyond.

Ahead lay the world's greatest mystery...

The New World.

Jessie stood at the ship's helm, arms crossed, wind from the ship's forward motion billowing his coat behind him.

He glanced at his crew — Uta still humming beside Shirahoshi, Kuina sharpening her blade, Panda snoring under a fish bone pile, and Meruem staring silently into the void.

Then he looked forward.

"Next stop..." he whispered, a spark in his eye,

"The New World."
