Chapter 846 Decision Made! Two Years Until the Next Crew Meeting!
_________________
Grand Line' Sea:
Seabirds soared in abundance over this section of the sea, a sign that the coast was near and that the nearest island couldn't be too far away.
The Moby Dick sailed proudly across the first half of the Grand Line… unrestricted by any obstacles.
"Gurarara! This cover is quite interesting!"
The cover of Chapter 597 is reflected in Whitebeard's eyes.
This cover image depicted two individuals and two flags—Roger and Whitebeard, with their respective emblems.
Both men were shown at their peak, their current selves captured in the manga… just as they were now.
"If we can't find that ungrateful scoundrel, Teach, it might not be a bad idea to head to the South Blue and visit Roger…"
"Gurararara! I haven't had a good battle in so long… I'm even feeling a bit rusty."Newgate laughed after saying that, making his crew excited. They were all eager to fight again, especially if the opponents were Roger's pirates!
The Pirate King's Crew!

Chapter's Events:
—
"[3D 2Y]? You're right… There is a tattoo like that on his shoulder…" Perona said after she pointed it out to Luffy's shoulder on the manga page.
Zoro was gazing at the vivre card that indicated the crew's meeting location, "My crew and I agreed to meet at a certain spot after three days…"
"Of course, you know how that turned out…" he added.
"So the '3D' represents those 'three days'?" Perona understood immediately, then continued, "But it's been crossed out, and then it says '2Y'…"
"In other words…" Zoro said.
"Two years…!" Perona interrupted.
"We're to meet not in three days, but in two years…!! All the rest was just a decoy to throw the world off from the real message… a message meant for us alone." ?
"… And this is Luffy's decision." Zoro paused momentarily and continued, "There's no point rushing things; we're not ready to take on the New World yet…!!!"
"So we hold steady and build our strength. Once we're ready, we meet again!!!"
Zoro, Chopper, Brook, Robin, Franky, Nami, Sanji, and Usopp all shouted at the same time:
"In two years!!! At the Sabaody Archipelago!!!"
•———•———•
"Looks like Zoro was the last one to get the message, Hahaha!"
"At least he understood it in the end!"
"So, Luffy's bold move wasn't in vain after all."
"So, Luffy and his crew gave themselves a two-year break from the sea, huh? It seems they'll come back much stronger."
"But their enemies will get stronger, too… The sea is the best place to grow, especially the New World…"
"With Zoro training under Mihawk personally, his power will definitely take a massive leap!"
"Luffy's training with Rayleigh too! Not everyone gets luck like that…"
"Poor Sanji, though, training with those genderless monsters! What terrible luck!"
"Hahaha! That's what makes One Piece so entertaining! Sanji's suffering!"
"Man, he almost turned into an Okama!"
"He actually did, but somehow snapped out of it!"
"Hahaha! His deep love for women, as vast as the sea, brought him back to his senses quickly."
"But it looks like Zoro also lost all his pride and dignity when he bowed to Mihawk! At least Sanji didn't bow to Ivankov!"
The Whitebeard Pirates enjoyed their discussion about the chapter, Zoro fans and Sanji fans can't miss the chance to join in on this heated discussion at this moment!
...
Whole Cake Island:
"Mama Mama! The New World isn't a place you can enter with such weak strength! It's good that they realized that early on…"
Charlotte Linlin felt that the Straw Hats were lucky to have faced the setback caused by Kizaru back at the Sabaody Archipelago.
"Also, they're fortunate that Bartholomew Kuma sent them to the right places to refine their abilities and specialties," Katakuri nodded and added.
"How did Kuma know those locations and pick exactly the right place for each member of Luffy's crew? That's a question we really need an answer to—Perorin~" Perospero licked his lips and asked curiously.
"That's not hard to figure out; why not ask your father? He'll certainly answer us~ Fufu~" Linlin smiled as she sensed a unique presence arriving.
This presence always made her tremble with joy every time she felt his arrival.
"Our father?"
Linlin's children were confused, but when they saw who had arrived, the confusion vanished.
It looked like Whole Cake Island would be shaken once again today.
Perospero and Katakuri quietly withdrew from the room, contemplating the implications.
"Mama Mama! Welcome back, my dear~" Linlin ran to greet Rob warmly.
Seeing her, Rob smiled gently. Though she was a villainous Yonko in the manga, she was now his woman. Even if just a consort, he wouldn't treat her unfairly, and he'd visit from time to time.
After all, her situation wasn't as bad as it appeared in the manga.

[A few days ago, upon the Calm Belt]
"Jimbei… Thank you so much for everything!!" Luffy shouted gratefully, looking at Jimbei, who stood on a giant whale.
"No need for that… I'm the one who should thank you…!!" replied Jimbei.
He then added:
"Back in Impel Down, I asked you to take me to certain death… Yet, here I am, alive, however shamefully. I'm sure a day will come when I can lend you my strength once again."
"At any rate…" he continued.
"Two years from now… let's meet again, on Fish-Man Island!!" Jimbei looked deeply at Luffy and ended with a smile.
"I'll look forward to the day when you and your crew come calling!!"
"YEAH!!!" Luffy replied with a smile, knowing that day would come.
•———•———•
Fish-Man Island:
Here in the Deep Sea Kingdom, fishmen, mermaids, and even the few humans here all felt the same thrill as they watched this scene in the manga.
Among them, Jimbei himself felt it, too.
"Surely in two years, they'll come to Fish-Man Island after reuniting," Jimbei said with a smile.
"Looks like your fated encounter with Luffy is over, and now it's time to help Fish-Man Island face the pirate crisis, right?" Fisher Tiger smiled.
"Yes, the pirate crisis looms like an executioner's sword after the death of Whitebeard, the island's former protector."
Jimbei could feel his counterpart's eagerness to reach Fish-Man Island quickly.
"But I'm more excited for the day they arrive here… I was thrilled before, thinking they'd reach Fish-Man Island without trouble… but who would have guessed all that would happen? From the Sabaody Archipelago crisis to the Impel Down escape and the Marineford War… it was completely unexpected."
"The crew's fun adventures were disrupted… Now, to continue with the same passion, they need to become stronger… much stronger than they are now."
Fisher Tiger sighed, watching Luffy's heartfelt smile directed at Jimbei.
Luffy was the only human who truly softened Fisher Tiger's heart toward humans. To Fisher Tiger, someone like Luffy made him hold onto hope for humanity.
"Two years, huh?"
"Then we'll wait…"
"Two years in the manga… That doesn't mean the manga will stop for two years after this volume, right?" Jimbei asked, suddenly worried.
That thought hadn't crossed their minds!
"No, that's impossible! If that happened, it would be absolute torture for us, the readers."
"Oh! Did you forget the last hiatus? It lasted a whole year! Man, I don't want to suffer like that again!"
"What's the point of my life without One Piece manga? I'd rather fall into a coma for two years if that really happened!"
