Location: Grand Line's End – Beyond Lodestar Island
"It's not at the end of the world…
It's the reason the world has an end."
— Gol D. Roger
🌊 Arrival at the Edge
The Oro Jackson sliced through the final current.
Lodestar Island had long passed behind them, and before them stood a wall of storm and silence—a cyclone of time, sea, and silence. The Log Pose no longer spun. It had shattered.
Only the Mythblade glowed.
Toni stood on the figurehead, sensing it through his Observation Haki.
Beyond the storm, something called—not with sound, but with joy.
Roger grinned.
"Laugh Tale. We're here."
🌀 Crossing the Temporal Barrier
Suddenly, the skies parted—not with lightning, but with laughter.
An ancient force rolled back the storm like a curtain.
The ship glided into calm waters… where the sea sparkled golden under a radiant sun.
In the distance was an island shaped like a spiral clamshell—its peaks wrapped like a smile.
Laugh Tale.
The Final Island. The resting place of the world's forbidden truth.

🧱 The Great Vault of Truth
At the island's core was a stone vault embedded into the earth, with four Great Poneglyphs arranged like pillars.
Roger walked among them, laughing louder with every step.
"So this is what they tried to erase…"
Images burst from the stones—of Joy Boy, the war against the 20 Kingdoms, the betrayal, the Sea King's prophecy… and the treasure not of gold, but laughter.
"He left behind a joke."
"A story so powerful, it could never be told with anger… only with joy."
Toni stepped forward as the Mythblade embedded itself into the center of the vault.
It unlocked the final memory.
🧠 Vision – Joy Boy's Last Message
Joy Boy appeared—not as a warrior, but a smiling wanderer with wind in his hair and a hat in his hand.
"If you're reading this… you've made it."
"This world isn't broken—it's paused."
"When the next one comes… the one who can hear the sea cry and laugh with the sky—let him finish what I started."
"Let him remember."
He turned… and waved.
Then faded into sunlight.
😂 Roger's Laughter – The Moment He Becomes King
Roger fell to his knees—laughing. Harder than he ever had.
Tears streamed down his face.
"A war over this?"
"This is the most beautiful joke I've ever seen!"
"Joy Boy… you magnificent idiot."
Rayleigh chuckled.
Toni smiled—but felt a weight tighten in his chest. A grief. A truth.
Roger stood, placing a hand on Toni's shoulder.
"The world will call me King for finding this island."
"But you, Toni…"
"You're the one the next age will remember."

🏴☠️ The Pact Before the End
Roger stood before his crew that night—no crown, no throne.
"We'll disband. This treasure, this truth… must wait."
"But the one who inherits this blade… he will carry Joy Boy's will."
He turned to Toni.
"You saved me from a king's fate, Toni."
"Now go… and become the myth they never saw coming."
Toni nodded.
The wind carried laughter across the sea.
