After departing from the battlefield sea and returning to the Sky Sovereign Grand Fleet’s main base, and after all the prisoners had been securely dealt with, the victory banquet began.

It was a celebration that lasted for three full days and three sleepless nights.

After the Summit War, though Ace was rescued and the objective was met. The Whitebeard Pirates were steeped in grief, a true victory celebration was impossible.

Even after Rowen used his Revive-Revive and Door-Door abilities to bring Whitebeard’s soul back from the underworld... Whitebeard was still gone.

His soul’s silent message, understood only by Rowen, was more tragic than joyful.

In such circumstances, a celebratory feast was out of the question.

But this time was different.

This time, it was a complete and utter victory for the Sky Sovereign Grand Fleet.

All three of the Navy’s active-duty Admirals of this generation—one dead, two captured.

A massive naval force of over fifty warships had been annihilated.

Two of the Four Emperors, Big Mom and Kaido of the Beasts, had been killed, and the main forces of their pirate crews had been almost completely crushed.

All that remained was to finish cleaning up their territories and dealing with the few commanders left guarding Onigashima and Whole Cake Island.

Compared to that cleanup, a feast was far more important.

A pirate’s victory—demanded to be released through a grand celebration!

During the banquet, Luffy’s Nika-exclusive "imagination" power was used as the ultimate party trick.

His ability to seemingly create things from thin air, combined with his goofy personality, pushed the atmosphere of the celebration to its absolute peak.

Endless food and fine wine were continuously served.

The 800 pirate musicians, led by Brook, filled the air with their music, making the atmosphere incredibly lively.

Amidst the joyous laughter, this grand victory feast finally drew to a close.

Night fell.

All the pirates, their faces filled with happy smiles, fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, sunlight streamed into a luxurious room.

"Nngh..."

Rowen slowly opened his eyes, feeling a pair of delicate arms playfully wrapped around his neck.

The first thing he saw was Nami’s beautiful, sleeping face.

And on this specially made, super-sized bed, Nami was not alone.

Vivi, Robin, Kaya, and Hancock were also sound asleep.

A series of breathtakingly beautiful sights greeted Rowen’s eyes, and he couldn’t help but smile.

To wake up to such a scene... Rowen was naturally in an excellent mood. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

After becoming an Emperor, Rowen had inherited all of Whitebeard’s former territories and accumulated wealth.

Unlike Kaido, who was just an apprentice, and the not-yet-fully-matured Big Mom, Whitebeard had been a great pirate on par with Roger even back in the era of Rocks.

In the God Valley Incident, Whitebeard had dared to say directly to Rocks, "When was I ever your subordinate, Rocks?"—a true super-powerhouse.

At that time, Whitebeard had already mastered the Tremor-Tremor Fruit to its peak and learned Haōshoku Coating; he was one of the pinnacle powerhouses of that era.

He only boarded Rocks’s ship for his own purposes. His relationship with Rocks had been more like that of a collaborator.

After Rocks’s death, Whitebeard had immediately begun to build his own era, and he had been able to stand on equal footing with even a prime Gol D. Roger.

Then, after Roger’s death, he naturally became an Emperor.

Among the old generation of Four Emperors, Whitebeard was the most senior, the strongest at his peak, and the one who had ruled the seas the longest.

Correspondingly, his territory was vast, with 43 allied pirate crews, able to mobilize a massive pirate fleet of over 50,000 troops for the Summit War.

Though these crews nominally followed Whitebeard out of admiration, in reality, many were first defeated by Marco and the others, then joined, and were only later won over by Whitebeard’s charisma, acknowledging him as ’Pops’.

Having been a legendary pirate crew for decades, ruling the New World like an emperor for many years—the Whitebeard Pirates’ treasure was an astonishing sum.

Combined with the massive amount of Gold Rowen brought down from Skypiea, Rowen was now undoubtedly one of the richest in the world.

Rowen had also constructed a luxurious castle.

It was partly for his own enjoyment, but also as a symbol of his authority

A luxurious residence directly demonstrated an Emperor’s wealth, further inspiring his subordinates.

Pirates, after all, loved treasure. And this world, ultimately, was a material one.

And this castle, built under Franky’s leadership, was a mobile fortress. If they needed to change their base, the entire castle could be moved.

For anyone else, moving such a colossal structure would be a logistical and financial nightmare.

But in Rowen’s hands, he could simply use Kamui to store it in the Door-Door Fruit’s alternate dimension, then summon it at the new location.

It was incredibly convenient.

And Hancock, being able to preliminarily master Haōshoku Coating before this war—also stemmed from this.
