The sea stretched endlessly before them, an eerie calm settling over the ship. The events of the past battle still weighed heavily on their minds, but for now, the Straw Hats had earned a brief moment of peace.
Sanji sat near the ship's railing, staring at his hands. He clenched them, feeling the lingering effects of the darkness that had nearly consumed him. He remembered everything—the sensation of losing control, the whispers of Imu echoing in his mind, promising power, purpose… submission.
"Tch." He exhaled sharply, lighting a cigarette to steady himself.
Zoro, leaning against the mast with his arms crossed, eyed him. "You alright, curly brows?"
Sanji let out a puff of smoke. "Hmph. Like you care."
Zoro sighed. "If you had actually lost, I'd be down one rival. That'd be boring."
Sanji smirked despite himself. "Idiot."
Nami and Robin, sitting near the map table, were discussing their next course. Gandalf and Legolas stood nearby, gazing toward the horizon.
"We're sailing deeper into unknown waters," Nami murmured, tapping her pen against the parchment. "This region shouldn't even exist."
Robin traced a finger over the ancient markings on a stone tablet they had retrieved earlier. "These symbols… they mention something called 'The Lost Light.'"
Legolas narrowed his eyes. "The Lost Light? That name is familiar."
Gandalf nodded. "Indeed. Legends speak of a forgotten power—something even Sauron feared."
Usopp, who had been listening quietly, shivered. "Oh great, another creepy legend. Can't we go five minutes without uncovering something terrifying?"
Franky flexed. "If it's dangerous, then we'll just blast it to pieces!"
Brook chuckled. "If it's a lost light, maybe I can borrow it! Yohohoho!"
Chopper tilted his head. "But what if it's a good thing? Maybe we should find it before the bad guys do!"
Luffy grinned, stretching his arms behind his head. "Then it's decided! We're going after the Lost Light!"

A Mysterious Island Approaches
As if the sea had heard their decision, the fog ahead began to clear, revealing an island unlike anything they had seen before.
It wasn't just any island.
It floated—suspended in the sky by shimmering waterfalls that cascaded into the ocean below. The landmass pulsed with a strange, golden glow, its towering spires made of translucent crystal.
Robin gasped. "This place… It's supposed to be a myth."
Gandalf's grip tightened around his staff. "A myth often holds more truth than one dares to believe."
Luffy, eyes sparkling with excitement, was already climbing onto the figurehead. "That's gotta be where the Lost Light is! Let's go!"
Franky adjusted his sunglasses. "How are we supposed to get up there?"
Legolas smirked. "Leave that to me." He pulled an arrow from his quiver, whispering an ancient elvish incantation. As he let it fly, the arrow split the sky, igniting a burst of wind magic that formed a pathway of light leading up to the floating island.
Luffy's jaw dropped. "WHOA! SO COOL!"
Zoro sheathed his swords. "Alright. Let's see what this place is hiding."

The City of Echoes
Upon setting foot on the floating island, the Straw Hats found themselves in a ghost town—a city made of crystal, echoing with whispers from the past.
Each step they took left ripples in the air, as if disturbing something unseen.
Sanji exhaled, keeping a wary eye on their surroundings. "I don't like this place."
Robin ran her fingers along an ancient inscription. "This civilization was once powerful… but it vanished."
Brook shivered. "Vanished? As in… ghosts?"
Suddenly, a low hum filled the air. The crystals around them glowed as a voice echoed through the city.
"You have come seeking the Lost Light… but do you understand its price?"
Luffy blinked. "Uh… what price?"
The glow intensified, and before them appeared a shimmering figure—an ancient king, clad in flowing robes of golden mist.
"The Lost Light is not a weapon. It is a truth. And not all truths should be known."
---
Secrets of the Void Century
Robin's heart pounded. "Truth? What do you mean?"
The king's eyes darkened. "It is the last remnant of an age long erased. The light holds the memories of the war between the Old Gods and the Tyrant of the Void."
Imu.
The name wasn't spoken, but they all felt it.
Gandalf's expression was grave. "Then this power… it is connected to the Void Century."
The king nodded. "It is the key to the greatest lie in history."
Luffy's fist clenched. "Then we HAVE to find it!"
The king studied them, his expression unreadable. "You must prove yourselves. To claim the Lost Light, you must face the Echo of the Fallen."
The moment he spoke those words, the ground trembled.
A deep, guttural roar shook the city.
From the shadows, a colossal figure emerged—a warrior made of shattered crystal, its hollow eyes burning with an ancient rage.
"You seek the truth?" it growled. "Then let it be tested in battle!"
Luffy grinned, cracking his knuckles. "Now THIS is more like it!"
Zoro drew his swords, smirking. "Finally, some action."
Sanji stomped his foot, flames igniting around him. "Let's see what this thing is made of."
The Echo of the Fallen let out another deafening roar, charging toward them as the battle for the Lost Light began.
