"Incredible! How on earth did you come up with this method, Nii-san?!"
In outer space, after recovering from her shock, Carina couldn't help but hug El tightly while asking excitedly.
Nami's eyes also shone brightly as she spoke excitedly. "There are so many meteorites outside the planet. This is simply an inexhaustible resource."
"Not to mention combat uses—if we separate the stone and iron, we'll have an unlimited supply of iron."
"And with the stone, we can expand the small floating islands into medium-sized ones, and the medium-sized ones into large floating islands, or even larger!"
"We don't need to seize territory rich in resources; we can simply build our own resource-rich territory!"
Nami was truly worthy of being a future top-tier navigator in terms of talent; her geographical knowledge far surpassed Carina's and Robin's.
Hearing her words, El's eyes also gleamed. He truly hadn't expected that. He had come to outer space to seize control of meteorites for two main reasons.
First, to add numerous space-based attacks to their arsenal. When fighting major powers, he wouldn't need to use his own territory as a weapon. He could be like Fujitora, pulling down numerous meteorites to rain upon his enemies.
Although he had to do it manually—unlike Fujitora, who used his Observation Haki and gravity power—El could combine his own Observation Haki with the Float-Float Fruit ability to directly pull meteorites down from space.
Doing it himself had its advantages: once he took control of meteorites, they wouldn't drift away or continue orbiting but would remain in place, awaiting his call.
If he controlled all the meteorites in the planet's orbit, even if Fujitora tried to pull one down, El could interrupt the maneuver with a single thought.
The more space-based weapons he accumulated, the greater El's confidence would grow. Even without expanding his fleet, he would fear no threat from any major power.
Nami's words gave El another spark of inspiration. She was right—these meteorites were composed of stone and iron. While others might find them difficult to exploit, for El with his Float-Float Fruit ability, it was trivial.
Simply separate them, and he could maximize their utility. Thinking this, El couldn't help but pat Nami's head. "As expected of the future world's number one navigator. Nami, your idea is truly brilliant."
"Indeed, Nami, your idea is really brilliant."
Carina also gave Nami two thumbs up, unable to help but admire this little friend who had always been holding onto her and Nii-san's coattails.
"Hehehe…"
After receiving praise from El and Carina, Nami narrowed her beautiful eyes, showing a happy and proud smile.
El returned to the cabin and headed to the kitchen to replenish his stamina. Not long after, he ventured out again to seize control of more meteorites.
After depleting his stamina, he returned to the cabin and ate the feast carefully prepared by the five girls.
While eating their meal, even though his worldview had been refreshed, El couldn't help but complain internally.
It's truly outrageous that you can still create fire for cooking in outer space!
It wasn't until four in the morning that El and the five girls returned from outer space to the main island aboard the Pegasus.
After just over three hours of sleep, El and the five girls awoke. As usual, after drinking their nutritional supplements, they completed their arduous training.
Then, the six islands broke away from the White-White Sea and began to enter the New World.
While moving, El used his Devil Fruit ability to tear parts of the White-White Sea and envelop the six floating islands.
As the six floating islands ventured deeper into the New World, they passed over several islands.
The inhabitants of those islands, as well as informants for major powers across the world, all learned that El and the five girls—who had shocked the world—had officially entered the strongest sea: the New World.
"Nii-san, the New World has been carved up by the Three Emperors, as well as other major pirate groups and affiliate nations. Which sea area should we choose for our base camp?"
On the Pegasus, Carina held a map of the New World purchased on Sabaody Archipelago—sold exclusively to newcomers who had cleared the seven sea routes.
"Don't worry, I've already chosen a location."
El took out an Eternal Pose and handed it to Carina.
"Our base camp will be established near here."
"'The Kingdom of Dressrosa, the Land of Love, Passion, and Toys'?"
Reading the words inscribed on the Eternal Pose, Carina voiced them aloud.
"The Kingdom of Dressrosa—a kingdom in the New World still not occupied by pirates. Wouldn't it be one of the affiliate nations protected by the Navy and Mary Geoise?" Nami asked, puzzled.
"The Kingdom of Dressrosa is indeed one of the 170 affiliate nations under the protection of the Navy and Mary Geoise."
Robin stood up and said with a slightly strange expression, "However, the one protecting this nation isn't the Navy, but a 'legitimate' pirate."
"So that's it—it's one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?" Carina was slightly taken aback.
"Seven Warlords of the Sea? Like Lord Moria? Then who is it?" Perona couldn't help but ask curiously.
"He is… the 'Heavenly Yaksha,' Donquixote Doflamingo."
