One Piece: Supreme Check-In System-Chapter 84: A Kingdom’s Feast, A Pirate’s Calling
Chapter 84 - A Kingdom’s Feast, A Pirate’s Calling
The sun hung low in the sky over the Voidreign Kingdom, casting a warm, golden hue upon its white-stone streets and shining seas. Laughter echoed through every alley, and the smell of fresh bread, grilled meats, and sweet fruit hung thick in the air.
News had spread like wildfire.
The world-shaking headline, "IMMORTAL GOD KNIGHTS VS VOIDREIGN PIRATES ELITES!", now plastered every tavern wall and bustling market square.
Children darted through the streets waving hand-drawn flags of the Voidreign Pirates, while merchants offered free drinks and fruit baskets in honor of their kingdom's protectors. Music filled the skies — violins, flutes, and war drums, pounding out songs of freedom and defiance.
In the middle of a crowded square, an old man holding a cane cackled.
"As expected of our King's crew!" he declared, raising a mug of frothing ale.
"We're not scared of the World Government anymore! They can't stop us while our heroes are strong and standing tall!"
The crowd around him cheered.
The kingdom was alive.
-----
At the kingdom's eastern shore, the sound of waves was soon met by the thud of boots on wood.
A single, sleek vessel glided into harbor — the battered but unbroken ship that bore Meruem, Vash the Stampede, Black Eye Panda, and Uta back to land.
Standing there, with his arms crossed and a playful smile, was Jessie. He wore a cowboy hat, and his hair moved with the windy sea air.
"Well, well," he teased. "Look who finally made it back. How was the fight? Having fun out there?"
Vash, his blonde hair still tousled and battle-worn, scowled.
"Fun?" he grumbled, pushing his red coat back over his shoulder. "You call fighting an army that regenerates like damn electricity fun? I swear, every time I blasted one arm down, another popped up."
Jessie laughed heartily.
"Still, you're standing."
Uta let out an exhausted sigh, brushing a hand through her sweat-dampened hair.
"I'm heading home," she muttered, already turning toward the city.
"I need a bath. My skin's practically made of salt right now."
"Get some rest, songbird," Jessie called after her.
As Uta walked away, the big, lazy-eyed panda named Black Eye Panda waddled over to Jessie. Without asking, the giant panda climbed onto her shoulder and started munching on a fresh piece of bamboo, chewing noisily.
Jessie smiled, reaching up to pat his massive head.
"Looks like you enjoyed yourself, huh, Black Eye?"
The panda gave a slow, satisfied nod, crunching his snack noisily.
Behind them, Meruem stepped onto the shore. His cold, calculating gaze swept across the horizon. His words came low, almost a hiss.
"I never thought anyone could escape my Eternal Torture technique," he muttered darkly.
Jessie only chuckled, shaking her head.
"Well, guess there's always a surprise waiting in this world. Now come on — it's time for a feast."
-----
Four hours later, Celestial Garden Castle shone like a star at dusk.
Lanterns bobbed in the wind, illuminating a sprawling banquet hall filled with tables heavy with every food imaginable: honey-glazed meats, fresh ocean catch, towering cakes, and barrels upon barrels of sweet mead.
The highlight was the Props Unlimited Food - a miraculous device gifted by system before, capable of producing endless meals for all. It overflowed with steaming platters, never empty, no matter how many times plates were filled.
Civilians gathered by the thousands. Young and old, warriors and farmers, pirates and orphans — all sat side by side, laughing, eating, and raising their cups in toast.
"To the Voidreign Pirates!" someone shouted.
"To our King!" another voice boomed.
Fireworks lit up the evening sky, painting the heavens in shades of crimson, gold, and emerald.
Jessie, seated at the high table, glanced down at the joyful sea of faces. It filled her chest with warmth.
This — this was why they fought.
Freedom. Family. Home.
Even Meruem cracked a faint, almost imperceptible smirk as he nursed a goblet of rare Abyssal wine.
Vash threw his head back in laughter, already three drinks in, while Black Eye Panda gnawed happily on his twentieth bamboo stick.
----
As dawn broke, streaks of soft pink and orange rippled through the clouds. The scent of rain hung faintly in the air, and the last of the celebration fires smoldered.
In the palace gardens, beneath an ancient Verdant Blossom Tree, a round table had been set.
Seated around it were the core of the crew:
Meruem, cold and contemplative.
Vash, nursing a mild hangover but grinning.
Black Eye Panda, still chewing methodically.
Uta, now clean and refreshed.
And Kuina, silent and sharp-eyed as ever.
Jessie leaned forward, both hands planted on the table's polished surface.
The mood was different now. No longer festive — but resolute.
"It's time," Jessie began, her voice firm.
"Our work here is done. The kingdom is safe for now."
He turned to the group.
"I'll be leaving the government duties to Kaelor Brimstone, Lady Myrra Stoneveil, and Velmire Minister. The Supreme Void Knights will handle protecting the land and keeping order."

Around the table, the crew exchanged glances.
Vash let out a long breath and grinned.
"Finally," he said with a chuckle, throwing his arms behind his head.
"I was starting to get rusty stuck in one place this long."
Jessie said, "We haven't been here that long. I think it's only been 7 days since we arrived."
Uta nodded quietly, a faint smile playing at her lips.
"I'm ready," she said simply.
Meruem gave a sharp nod.
Even Black Eye Panda made a deep, satisfied rumbling noise and raised a paw in approval.
Jessie looked out toward the open ocean visible just beyond the castle walls.
"The sea's calling me," he murmured.
The Voidreign Pirates would sail once more.
