...

Inside the brightly lit castle, a long, grand table stretched across the hall, surrounded by smaller tables of various sizes.

Noir sat at the head of the main table, a triumphant gleam in his eyes as he raised his glass. "From this day forward, we live only for ourselves! Cheers!"

Noir's crew, Ace's crew, and the people rescued from Mary Geoise raised their glasses in unison, their voices echoing with joy. "Cheers!"

They emptied their glasses in one hearty gulp, then turned their attention to the feast laid out before them.

In the kitchen, children and women bustled about, bringing dish after dish to the tables, assisted by a group of clumsy zombies whose antics elicited exasperated sighs from the chefs.

At the tables, the guests laughed and chatted, sharing stories and enjoying each other's company.

Ace's crewmembers amused themselves by teasing the zombies, roaring with laughter as the undead servants accidentally dropped food on their heads.

The people rescued from Mary Geoise enthusiastically shared their meals, urging the busy kitchen staff to join them at the table.

Enel and Wyper, as usual, were locked in a heated competition, this time over a platter of giant sea king meat. They rolled up their sleeves, ready to settle the dispute with a brawl.

Kaku, Jabra, and Blueno watched the commotion with amusement, clapping and cheering from the sidelines.

Lucci, ever the stoic, gracefully ate his steak, casting disdainful glances at the boisterous crowd.

His peace was shattered when Wyper, in a fit of excitement, flung a plate of salad, splattering it across Lucci's face.

The former CP9 agents groaned. Here we go again...

Even Lucci, covered in food, lost his composure. He transformed into his leopard form, roaring as he leaped into the fray, exchanging blows with the two gluttons.

Meanwhile, a group of girls, including Conis and Kalifa, their eyes sparkling with excitement, gathered around Robin, whispering and giggling amongst themselves.

Amidst the cheerful chaos, Noir and Ace stood side by side, arms crossed, glasses clinking as they chatted.

Certain topics always seemed to dominate men's conversations.

Noir, a thoughtful look on his face, asked, "So, there's a Marine girl named Isuka who's been chasing after you?"

Ace waved his hand dismissively, a hint of annoyance in his voice. "Chasing is the right word. She can't beat us, but she's persistent."

Ace turned to see Noir looking at him with a mischievous glint in his eyes.

Ace, exasperated, ignored him. Noir, assuming an air of wisdom, leaned closer and whispered, "So... do you like her?"

Ace's face flushed, and he jumped onto the table. "Of course not! I'm a free-spirited pirate!"

Noir, channeling his inner strategist, offered some sage advice. "Love knows no boundaries. As a man, you have to be brave, seize the opportunity, and don't leave any regrets..."

Ace gave him a skeptical look. "So, you're saying you're brave, huh..."

Noir nodded confidently, only for Ace to point towards Robin, who was sitting nearby, a playful smirk on his face.
