Chapter 195 The Will of the Pirate World
Chapter 195 The Will of the Pirate World
Time flows like a gentle stream, moving forward silently yet swiftly. Before we knew it, more than three years had passed in the world of One Piece.
In the fantastical and adventurous world of One Piece, it was March 1520. This year was destined to be extraordinary for the pirate world, as it was the day that Luffy, the boy chosen by fate, set sail.
……
Three years ago, a world-shaking war broke out in the world of One Piece, taking place in Serbia.
This battle was unprecedented in scale, with all participating parties being top forces in the pirate world.
The Whitebeard Pirates, once renowned throughout the seas, were a team that symbolized power and glory. Each of their crew members possessed extraordinary strength, roaming the high seas and inspiring awe in countless pirates.
The Red-Haired Pirates, renowned for the charisma and wisdom of their captain Shanks, shine like brilliant stars, illuminating a corner of the pirate world.
Then there's Rayleigh, the legendary figure who once assisted the Pirate King Roger. His strength is unfathomable, and his swordsmanship is unparalleled.
Hawkeye, the world's greatest swordsman, is a name that resounds throughout the land. Wherever his black blade goes, no one can stop him.
However, the outcome of this great battle was truly heartbreaking. The Whitebeard Pirates and the Red-Haired Pirates were severely weakened in the fighting, and all of them perished.
Rayleigh, Hawkeye, and other powerful figures also perished in this brutal war, their brilliance seemingly obscured by the shadow of war.
In this great battle, the Hunter's Guild emerged as a dark horse, achieving great success thanks to its excellent strategic planning and the valiant efforts of its members.
Their performance on the battlefield drew attention from the entire pirate world, and their status reached an unprecedented height.
Just when everyone thought that the Hunter Guild would dominate the pirate world with this victory, and might even defeat pirates, the Navy and the World Government, thus becoming the king.
An unprecedented upheaval suddenly occurred.
The will of the pirate world, this mysterious and powerful entity, appeared before everyone without warning.
Its voice, like a resounding bell, echoed in every corner of the pirate world, informing everyone of a shocking message: forces from other worlds would be attacking the pirate world.
This news was like a bolt from the blue, instantly causing a huge uproar in the world of One Piece.
Whether it was the mighty Navy, the World Government that controlled the world order, the Revolutionary Army with revolutionary ideals, or powerful figures like Kaido who stood at the top of the pirate world, they were all plunged into deep panic and shock.
They never imagined that the will of the pirate world would suddenly descend, let alone bring such news that could overturn the entire world.
However, not everyone was completely overwhelmed by fear. The ambitious Five Elders and Kaido, after a brief moment of shock, had a gleam of excitement and anticipation in their eyes.
In their hearts, this might be a rare opportunity. If the will of the pirate world is true, then they will have a legitimate excuse to counterattack other worlds, conquer them, and become kings.
They fantasize about standing at the top of the world, in control of everything.
However, the subsequent actions of the will of the pirate world dealt them a heavy blow, shattering their illusions and plunging them into a deep crisis.
The will of the One Piece world first announced a new realm level division, and then displayed a detailed combat power ranking.
These two lists appeared in the skies around the world in a breathtaking way, making them clearly visible to everyone.
[One Piece World Levels]
[Major General of the Headquarters]
[Lieutenant General of the Headquarters]
[Elite Lieutenant General]
[Bachelor of Generalship]
【General (Four Emperors)】
[King Level]
[God-level]
[Sub-god level]
……
[One Piece World Power Ranking]
[Im of Otsutsuki (Peak King-level, currently injured.)]
[Redfield (King-level beginner, currently aging.)]
[Steelbow Void (King-level beginner, currently aging.)]
[Minos (Peak Emperor-level, continuously getting stronger.)]
Cheng Xiaoyu, also known as the Shadow King (Peak Emperor Level, continuously growing stronger).
Kaido (the pinnacle of the Four Emperors.)
【…】
When this power ranking appeared on the high seas, the entire pirate world was in an uproar, with exclamations of surprise rising and falling.
First of all, Minos, Shadow King, Kaido, and other renowned powerhouses in the pirate world know each other and are well aware of each other's strength.
They originally thought they had reached the pinnacle of the world, but now on this list, they are only at the peak of the Emperor level.
This gave them a new understanding of their own strength and filled them with awe for this unknown ranking.
The other three on the list—Im Otsutsuki, Redfield, and Kong—have aroused strong curiosity and doubt among the crowd.
Redfield and Steelbone Kong, although many powerful people know some of the rumors about them, they have always kept themselves in the background and rarely show their strength to the world.
As for Im Otsutsuki, this name is completely unfamiliar to most people. It's unbelievable that he's listed as a peak King-level powerhouse, and that he's currently injured.
What kind of terrifying being could severely injure a peak King-level expert?
This question lingered in everyone's mind, sparking countless speculations.
Powerful figures like Sengoku, Garp, and Kaido, who stand at the pinnacle of power and strength in the pirate world, naturally know some of Ryder and Kong's past.
However, they knew nothing about Im Otsutsuki, and their hearts were filled with regret.
The Five Elders of the World Government, who usually follow Im, have never known Im's surname.
Now that the power rankings have been revealed, they finally know that Im's surname is Otsutsuki.
This discovery stirred up a huge wave in the hearts of the Five Elders. They realized that Lord Im, who had been hiding behind the scenes, was far more mysterious and powerful than they had imagined.
Besides the Five Elders and others, there was another group of people who were familiar with Im: Minos and Cheng Xiaoyu.
When they saw Im Otsutsuki's name on the power ranking, the two suddenly realized the truth, and many mysteries that had troubled them were solved.
It turns out that when Orochimaru and Kabuto left, they told them a shocking truth.
After some calculations, Orochi Kabuto discovered that the energy in the One Piece world is similar to the chakra in the Naruto world. The energy in the One Piece world can be transformed into chakra through a simple conversion.
Furthermore, Orochi Kabuto also deduced the reason why they crossed over from the ninja world to the pirate world.
It was precisely because the energy and chakra of the One Piece world were so similar that the white energy portal misjudged the situation, mistaking the One Piece world for the past ninja world, which led them to arrive in this strange world by mistake.
When Minos and Cheng Xiaoyu heard this, their faces were filled with disbelief.
After all, it's hard to accept that two seemingly unrelated worlds could have such a close connection.
But now, seeing Im Otsutsuki's name on the power rankings, they finally understood everything.
Based on their speculations, the truth might be this: On a remote plateau, the Otsutsuki clan sent people to various planets to plant sacred trees in order to absorb the planets' energy, in order to obtain more energy.
Kaguya Otsutsuki and Isshiki Otsutsuki were sent to the ninja world, while Im Otsutsuki, due to his low status and weak strength, could only come to the relatively weak pirate world alone.
Upon arriving in the world of One Piece, Im Otsutsuki found no one who could threaten him, and thus began his scheme.
He planted the Divine Tree, intending to eat the Chakra Fruit once it ripened and gain even greater power. However, his plot did not escape the eyes of the will of the pirate world.
The will of the pirate world knows that if Im's plan succeeds, it will bring annihilation to the entire world.
Therefore, it spared no expense in expending enormous energy to create Joy Boy, also known as Nika, the legendary sun god, and sent him to stop Im Otsutsuki.
Joy Boy shoulders a great mission and engages in an earth-shattering and awe-inspiring battle with Im Otsutsuki.
This battle lasted for days and nights, shaking the entire pirate world. Both sides unleashed their strongest techniques, and the resulting energy fluctuations caused towering waves to rise in the sea and massive cracks to appear on the land.
Ultimately, the great battle ended with Joy Boy's heroic sacrifice, while Im Otsutsuki was also seriously injured in the battle and on the verge of death, forced to fall into a deep sleep.
Seeing that it couldn't subdue Im Otsutsuki, the will of the pirate world, in order to stop his conspiracy and protect the pirate world, resolutely decided to consume all its energy and forcibly alter the Chakra Fruit God Tree.
Under the powerful influence of the will of the pirate world, the Chakra Fruit God Tree underwent a miraculous transformation, gradually evolving into a Devil Fruit God Tree for Devil Fruit users.
From then on, Devil Fruits began to grow and fall from this divine tree, becoming an important way for many powerful figures in the pirate world to pursue power.

P.S.: That makes perfect sense, right? (⌒▽⌒)
