Chapter 363: After the War, God-making
Inazuma (Wano Country)
After the war of the G-1 branch ended, the various forces that were originally on the same front quickly dispersed. Without the threat of a common enemy, it was not easy to get the Four Emperors, the Revolutionary Army, and other guys with different ideas to live in harmony, especially after Yakumo Shiro directly withdrew and went to Fishman Island.
For the Revolutionary Army, the most urgent task is to stabilize the current achievements as soon as possible and transfer most of their energy to the newly established alliance - "Azur Lane".
After all, this can be said to be their greatest achievement so far, and it is also a rare achievement. Whether it is used as a fortress to formally confront the World Government or as a testing ground for future revolutionary work, it is the best choice.
As for Katakuri, thanks to the ability of Yakumo Haku, the Mochi-Mochi Fruit that he had mastered to the point of awakening was replaced with the "Tremor-Tremor Fruit". Although this led to a major change in his own fighting moves and style, and his previous efforts in developing the fruit came to nothing, the improvement of his strength limit was what he was more concerned about.
Because, now that Big Mom "entrusted" the Soul-Soul Fruit to Yakumo Shiro and Totland is leaderless, only an absolutely powerful force can protect the family he cherishes.
The power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit is obvious to all, not to mention that he had also undergone a similar experiment as that of Gekko Moria - integrating the bloodline factors of the Lunalia clan into himself, thus being able to master that unique and powerful talent!
The means of fruit replacement and the technology of bloodline factors, what Yakumo Shiro showed was far more terrifying than it seemed on the surface. As a beneficiary of it, Katakuri knew very well that if his mother was still an unreachable existence in his eyes before, then now, she has become an extremely clear goal!
The mission to succeed Totland has quietly arrived. Katakuri has no choice, and will not make any other choice, but to take that crucial step - to become the new leader of the family, and lead the family into a stronger, lasting and peaceful future!
Finally, there is the Red Hair Pirates, or Shanks. The interesting thing is that he was originally upset about Yakumo Shiro's unauthorized involvement in such a war that affected the entire ocean situation, but he was soon "drafted" by Uta to serve as a bodyguard.
After all, as the world's number one singer, openly opposing the world government will inevitably attract hostility and malice. If he wants to continue touring, he naturally needs a strong thug.
According to the other party's words -
"Instead of letting Shanks drink and fight every day, wandering the sea and causing trouble, why not fulfill your responsibility and protect my safety? That's much more valuable than any of the Four Emperors, right?"
Shanks still remembered Uta's unconcealed expression when he heard the other party's words, which was full of his usual playfulness and cunning.
This would not be difficult to say, after all, there is Beckman who can take on this task on his behalf. However, when he learned that the lost historical text of the signpost was just a "fake" written in advance by Robin, this "Four Emperors Captain" had to accept his "fate".
"Oh, this is probably karma, right? When the World Government destroyed Ohara, did they ever imagine that it would cost such a huge price?
And you, Yakumo Shiro, are probably the only one in this ocean who can outmaneuver those guys."
Shanks, who was temporarily staying in Inazuma, couldn't help but sigh like this, and this feeling became even stronger after Yakumo Shirak returned and "created" the entire Fishman Island "out of nothing"!
Shanks was naturally aware of the long-cherished wish of the fishmen, but he had never imagined that Yakumo Shiro would accomplish such a large-scale migration with such simple and crude means.
The entire Fishman Island was located in a water area near Jiuli. Initially, the Fishmen, who had just arrived on the surface, had some stereotypes about humans and were worried that their arrival would bring about even more severe disasters.
Fortunately, due to the long-term isolation of "Inazuma" and the education and reform activities promoted by Yakumo Haku since the reform, the attitude of the "humans" here towards the fish-men is at most curiosity and interest, so the situation worried by King Neptune and others did not occur.
Coming to the land and basking in the sunshine, the wish that existed only in dreams for thousands of years has finally come true. Not to mention that being in Inazuma is the greatest guarantee of one's own safety. It is no wonder that the various fish people are full of gratitude to Yakumo Shirai, and even the most radical elements have more or less calmed down and are ready to enjoy this rare sunshine.
To a certain extent, after the "joining" of the fishmen, the entire Inazuma seems to be no less powerful than Big-Mom's Ten Thousand Kingdoms. After all, "Totland" pursues the completeness of all races, regardless of quantity, while Inazuma includes all races and achieves "unification" in a sense. The difference in superiority and inferiority is naturally obvious at a glance.
"Although the World Government suffered a great loss this time, exposing previously unknown monsters to the public's attention and causing the banner representing justice and order to lose some credibility, we still know very little about Mary Geoise.
Regardless of the fact that the immortality of the Five Elders seemed to rely on their souls, ordinary means were simply ineffective. Just the destructive light that fell from the sky was already very troublesome.
If that is the legendary ancient weapon, the Heavenly King, then even the Pluto, when it cannot exert its full power, is just an antique.
So Shanks, when the threat is real and present before your eyes, the only result of sitting back and waiting for death is death - you don't want everything that Uta cherishes to disappear, do you?
Then don't stop me, just watch obediently. Whether it's the research on ancient weapons, the collection and discovery of devil fruits, or other means of accumulating power, in your words, it's just the necessary preparation to protect everything around you~"
On Fishman Island, at a banquet prepared by the Fishmen for the Red Hair Pirates, Shanks and Rayleigh were enjoying a glass of wine when he couldn't help but shift his gaze from the joyful crew to the behemoth on the distant island.
There, Inazuma's Rabbit Bowl and the hull of the Pluto battleship are standing quietly. In order to obtain the ancient technology inside, researchers led by Quinn and Judge are devoting all their energy to the research.
Admittedly, this project is much more difficult than the bloodline factor, but for guys like Quinn and Judge, the more powerful the weapon, the more it will attract their interest. After all, this ancient weapon, this behemoth in front of them, isn't it an opportunity to surpass Vegapunk and establish a reputation for themselves?
Neither Judge nor Quinn wanted to miss it...
"So, it's still not possible after all? Even if you two combine your talents?"
In the Rabbit Don Research Institute, Yakumo Shiro, who had finally pulled Judge and Quinn, who were in a state of frenzy, back from the hull of the Pluto, said this with a hint of disappointment. Beside him were five exquisite boxes, and five devil fruits twisted into strange patterns were lying there quietly. Only those who knew the truth knew what an amazing fortune that was!
"Fish-Fish Fruit·Mythical Beast·Capricorn Form (a knight of God who died before)"
Bird-Bird Fruit·Mythical Beast·Phoenix Form
Mama Fruit·Mythical Beast·Pegasus Form (Wang Zhi Pirates)
Fish-Fish Fruit, Mythical Beast, R'lyeh Form (Teach)
And, this, the Snake Snake Fruit, Mythical Beast, Quetzalcoatl Form (the first devil fruit of the Mammaya family obtained in the Holy Land)
"Please understand, Master Yakumo, that achieving your desired effect may not be easy. Although we have accumulated sufficient experience, the factors encompassed by the mythical beasts are too complex—animal forms, superhuman or natural abilities. With our current technology, the creation of mythical beast monster girls may take even longer!"
Hearing this, Yakumo Shiro nodded as expected. He felt a little disappointed but not surprised. Breaking through the bottleneck was not easy. It seemed that tapping into the bloodline talents of the Lunalia clan was already the limit for Judge and the others. In the field of bloodline factors, the research on mythical beasts, superhuman systems, and even natural systems would most likely rely on Vegapunk's wisdom.
"It's alright. This is a miracle of a human exercising the Creator's authority, not to mention recreating a mythical beast. Researching Pluto is your more important task right now. This incredible ancient technology..."
"A single, dilapidated Pluto, launched in a moment of urgency, was able to unleash such impressive power. It seems we are the more backward compared to the ancients eight hundred years ago!"
Taking his eyes off the devil fruit, Yakumo Haku said this. Indeed, since the end of the war, Rabbit Don's research institute has entered an unprecedented high-load operation state: batches of clone soldiers have awakened from the nutrient solution in the capsule cabin, and the "fate" (artificial devil fruit) that people regard as a miracle fruit that can change destiny has also entered a new round of production.
The Beasts Pirates' lost combat power is recovering at an unimaginable speed, and this progress is much faster than the Navy's world conscription.
However, compared with those ancient robots, this technology is nothing but a consumable tool.
"However, this situation likely won't last much longer. The technological power so desperately suppressed by the World Government will experience a true explosion of growth if a gap is created. With the efforts of those determined to explore, nothing is unknowable. Whether it's technology or history, they will inevitably see the light of day. It's just a matter of time."
Fear, if not overcome, will increasingly become an insurmountable chasm. Although the depths of the World Government are unfathomable, judging solely by the two points of erasing history and suppressing technological development, the rule of the so-called Creator Clan will inevitably come to an end. Because true winners never hide the defeat of the loser, but only use it as a stepping stone to a new realm.
Im, who had not realized this, eventually fell into the nest of complacency and stagnation, and was nothing more than the new dust crushed by the wheels of history.
He couldn't help but feel sad about the change of fate. Just as he was about to take back the box containing the devil fruit, Yakumo Haku's movements suddenly paused. The network of Inazuma's heart silently rippled in the calmness. A mysterious "fish" was crossing the upside-down waterfall, moving forward without hesitation!
"A strange aura... six of them... arriving at this time... Hmm? And that voice...? They seem to be some interesting people~"
"Whoosh whoosh-"
At the same time, off the coast of Inazuma, a submarine sailing upstream was cutting through the waves, hiding under the sea water, passing through the sentries along the way, and finally landed in the waters of Inazuma.
"This is Wano Country, or Inazuma, right?"
"Huh~ We finally arrived! I'm so hungry now!"
"Hmph, creating a new world starts from here?"
"You made me, the world's number one scientist, run so hard! You guys from the World Government, I'll take note of this!"
"Are we finally going to have a new partner? I'm really curious about what kind of person that guy is."
"Well, we've designed 365 different appearance plans, and we're currently considering the effects and potential impacts of each..."
