Haredas, still reeling from the shock of having the legendary Rumble Rumble Fruit in his hands, watched Jack depart his workshop with a sense of awe and respect. The fruit was heavy in his hands, a symbol of the immense power and trust Jack had placed in him. After a long moment, he turned to look at Enel. His grandson's eyes were wide, still transfixed on the legendary fruit.
"I want to eat it, grandpa," Enel declared, his eyes glimmering with a desire that belied his youthful innocence.
Haredas' gaze softened as he knelt down, meeting his grandson's curious eyes. He shook his head, his voice steady, "Enel, it's not a fruit to be desired lightly. Its power is beyond what you can comprehend right now."
Enel was silent, his eyes still focused on the fruit with a stubborn glint. However, he didn't argue, only giving his grandfather a nod, albeit a reluctant one.
Haredas took a deep breath, his eyes drawn back to the Rumble Rumble Fruit. He knew the dangerous potential that lay dormant within the fruit. Left alone, it could fall into the wrong hands, and the consequences would be catastrophic. His gaze flickered to his grandson, and then back to the fruit. Taking a final, decisive breath, Haredas took a bite.
A surge of energy flowed through him, an overwhelming surge of power that left him gasping for breath. His vision blurred for a moment before coming back into sharp focus. The world around him felt... different. As though he could sense the very atmosphere, the very weather, at his fingertips. He looked down at his hands, the realization of his newfound power sinking in.
But with great power comes great responsibility, and Haredas knew he had a duty to uphold. Tearing his gaze from his hands, he turned to his workbench, a newfound determination filling him. There lay his tools, his sketches, and the raw materials he'd gathered over years. It was time to put them to use, to fulfill his part of the promise he had unknowingly entered with Jack.
Days turned into weeks as Haredas worked diligently, harnessing his new power to manipulate the weather to aid in his work. He created dials of various shapes and sizes, each one infused with a specific function. Heat Dial, Breath Dial, Vision Dial, Jet Dial, each meticulously crafted and tested to perfection. Each dial bore the mark of Haredas's hard work and years of experience.
A week later, after a party, Jack stored his family back into the Pocket Space and descended from the Sky Island with an octopus balloon. Ponis, the new addition to his family, was also with them in the mansion. Only Aria and Robin were with him, tightly secured to his body, while the rest of the family were in the Pocket Space, isolated island.
As the Bead Rider was slowly gliding in the air, Jack looked at the endless blue and thought of his next plans. Mantra he learned in Sky Island told him there were forces he didn't consider before. According to Crocus's journal, Haki not only allowed a person to perceive people's attack but also helped with increasing strength and defense. He then remembered Garp and Chinjao's battle. At the time, he felt a strange energy in their fists and head, but he couldn't make sense of it. But now, he knew it was Haki.
Aria, his five-year-old daughter, clung to his arm, watching the world below with wide, curious eyes. "Daddy, what's Haki?" she asked, her voice a soft whisper in the wind.
Jack glanced at his daughter, his eyes softening to a calm blue. "Haki, Princess, is a powerful energy that some people can use to make themselves stronger, faster, and more perceptive," he explained.
Aria nodded, taking in his words. "Can you teach me, Daddy?" she asked, her eyes shining with determination.
Jack couldn't help but smile at her enthusiasm. "I will, Princess, once I master it myself," he promised, his heart swelling with pride for his brave little girl.
Robin, the two-year-old surrogate daughter, stared at the others with wide eyes. "Haki!" she exclaimed excitedly, mimicking Aria's enthusiasm. "Haki, Daddy!"
Jack smirked, amused by Robin's excitement. "You too, Robin. I'll teach you both when the time is right," he assured her, his voice gentle yet firm.
Aria's eyes sparkled with excitement, but then her gaze turned serious. "Daddy, do you think we'll encounter more people with Haki on our journey?"
Jack considered her question for a moment, his eyes narrowing slightly. "It's possible, Princess. But that's why we must become stronger, to protect ourselves and our family."
Aria nodded in understanding. "I want to be strong like you, Daddy," she declared, her voice filled with determination.
Jack's eyes turned a stormy deep blue as he thought of the battles to come. He knew the world was vast and full of dangers, but he would face them head-on to protect his family.
Suddenly, Ponis appeared beside them, her face a mix of awe and wonder. "Jack, the world below is so different from the Sky Island," she said, her voice tinged with amazement.
Jack nodded, his gaze returning to the world below. "It is, Ponis. And there's so much more to see and explore. I'm glad you decided to join our family."
Ponis smiled warmly. "I am too, Jack. Thank you for giving me this opportunity."
As they continued to glide through the sky, Jack thought of the battles he had fought on Sky Island, not for any noble cause, but for the thrill of the fight and to put some sense into Gan Fall and the priests. He knew that there would be many more challenges ahead, but with his ever-growing family by his side, he felt ready to face them all.
As the Bead Rider slowly descended, Jack saw a small island in the distance. "We'll land there to rest for a while."
