Three days had passed since Muret accepted to come with Lepus and Brisa.
Muret had already finished her preparations and say goodbye to all her friends or relatives.
And Lepus had already decided where their next destination would be.
This noon, they have departed and left Notice.
On the way, Muret asked Lepus.
"Where are we going?"
Hearing Muret asking where they were going, Lepus only answered briefly.
".... East Blue."
Hearing Lepus's answer, Muret was quite confused and surprised.
"East Blue...? East Blue!?"
"Yeah."
"That's... How do we get there?"
It would not be strange for Muret to ask this. Because right now they were in North Blue, while East Blue was on the other side behind the great wall Red Line, so Muret was quite wondering how they would get there.
Looking at the confused and wondering Muret, Lepus only answered briefly with a smile.
"Hehaha... You'll find out later. Don't worry."
"Hmm... Fine."

After walking for a while and away from the city, they stopped.
"Why stop?"
"It's far enough from the crowds. We're going to the trees over there."
"What for?"
"To East Blue, of course."
"Hah?"
"Just follow...."
They then arrived in the middle of the shady trees.
"Let's begin...."
Lepus then waved his hand to open the gap.
"Wh-What's this!?"
"I call it the gap.... I'll explain later. Muret, Brisa, take my hand. We're going in."
""Un.""
They entered the gap and then Lepus closed it.
Not long after, Lepus opened the gap again.
"We're here. Let's get out."
After they came out of the gap, what they saw was that they were on a cliff near the sea.
Muret then asked.
"Here's... East Blue?"
"That's right. In Cocoyasi Village, Conomi Islands more exact."
Muret certainly doesn't know even though Lepus says where this is. But Muret was more curious about how they got here.
"How could that be?"
"I already said that I ate the Kara Kara no Mi fruit, right? And I can make my body go hollow like it's just an illusion right?"
"Yes."
"Actually, the fruit's true ability is not that. The true ability is being able to manipulate boundaries!"
"Boundaries?"
"Right.... Almost everything has a boundary. And I can manipulate it. For example, I made my body hollow just like an illusion, but actually I only manipulated the Reality-Fantasy Boundary. And what I just did, I was able to tear the space and opened the space which I call the gap by manipulating Space-Time Boundary. And with that gap it is also possible to move from far away places by manipulating the Near-Far Boundary. That's why we can move from North Blue to East Blue in no time. Besides that, I can also manipulate other boundaries such as Light-Dark, Hot-Cold, Light-Heavy, Fast-Slow, and so on."
"That's!? That's terrifying!"
Lepus just smiled seeing Muret's dumbfounded reaction.
"We'd better not use our ability in front of anyone other than ourselves, got it?"
""Un.""
Muret and Brisa nodded.
Then Lepus walked while still holding Brisa and Muret's hands.
After walking for a while, they came to a place that seemed to be an orchard. Orange orchard to be more precise, with a house not far from there.
