Chapter 169 - To Alabasta
The next day, after their hurried departure from Drum, two ships sailed side-by-side.
The previous night, inspired by the cherry blossoms blooming in the winter night, they had declared, “This calls for a celebration!” Bottles clinked, songs were sung, and even Zoro and Sanji who were usually at odds, shared drinks. The feast celebrated Chopper's joining, and he, experiencing his first such revelry, enjoyed himself immensely.

“Is there another one?” Having dealt with Loly and Menoly, Enkidu turned her attention to Grimmjow.
“Chains of Heaven!” With a wave of her hand, golden chains erupted from the floor, snaking towards Grimmjow.
Grimmjow’s expression hardened, but he didn't retreat. He drew his Zanpakutō, severing the approaching chains. However, the chains were too numerous, too fast. Despite his use of Sonído to evade them, his arm...

Chapter 143 - Tournament Of Calamity
The holographic timer above the Grand Mound Arena flickered, showcasing the relentless passage of time within 'Lightning Veil'. Then, with a final flash, it reached zero.
SIX HOURS: 00:00:00
And as if triggered by that dreadful finality, beams of light shot down from the heavens above, hitting each of the nine platforms. Those teams that had successfully captured five Liu Fuuyi materialized. They flickered briefly as they adj...

A heavy silence descended upon the Golden Luan Palace after Jiajing’s pronouncement.
Junior Grand Secretary Xu Jie, however, was in turmoil. Was the Emperor mocking his son, or offering him an opportunity?
If Hongzhou was Wanli’s fiefdom, he would have a legitimate reason to command troops, to reclaim his territory.

The deeper he went, the colder it became. An unsettling chill permeated the water, but it only fueled his determination. He would not fail Sly Ringtail!
