Chapter 4: The Island That Shouldn’t Exist
The search for the Surgeon’s Treasure leads Kaen D. Reiji and Soran D. Kurohira to a place that should not exist.
An island hidden from history.
An island where ancient ruins stand beside buildings from impossible eras.
As Reiji and the Hollow Pirates explore its mysteries, they are ambushed by those who call the island home. For the first time, Reiji reveals the true power of the Mera Mera no Mi, combining fire and Shambles into a devastating fighting style that leaves his enemies unable to keep up.
On the opposite side of the island, Soran and the Kurohira Pirates arrive and face a similar attack. Unlike Reiji, Soran ends the battle without harming a single opponent, demonstrating the precision and control of the true Ope Ope no Mi.
But the island holds a greater mystery.
Separated by miles yet following the same trail, both Reiji and Soran discover identical stone markers bearing a symbol neither expected to find:
The Heart Pirates emblem.
And beneath it, a message left behind long ago.
A message that changes everything.
“If you’re reading this…
You found the wrong treasure.”
