Harry doesn't want to be a wizard, he wants to be a superhero

Chapter 236 Conflict with the Celestial Dragons, an Admiral Descends from the Sky!
The Sabaody Archipelago, also known as the Soap Bubble Islands, is located in front of the Red Line in the middle of the Grand Line, and is the end of the first half of the Grand Line's paradise.

Because this island is entirely composed of the world's largest mangrove tree, the Yarlung Tsangpo, and its roots can condense natural oils to form bubbles, the island's scenery appears exceptionally beautiful against the backdrop of colorful bubbles.

But at this moment, the Sabaody Archipelago before Harry and his friends had lost all its beautiful atmosphere.

Looking into the distance, both the sea and the sky were stained red with a thick mass of blood.

The entire Sabaody Archipelago seemed to be shrouded in a blood-red filter, hidden in a deep blood mist, and even the bubbles flying in the sky were only a strange red.

Covering her mouth, Nami stared in horror at the bloated corpses floating on the sea surface and the numerous marines retrieving them. She asked in a horrified voice:
"What exactly happened here?"

Even though Nico Robin had seen many grand scenes and had been wanted by the Navy since childhood, the scene before her still made her uncomfortable:
"The current situation is likely caused by a battle between the Navy and the undead. The undead are constantly attacking the Sabaody Archipelago, trying to spread the undead scourge, but they have been stopped by the Navy. The continuous fighting over the past month has resulted in the current scene."

Chopper trembled, saying fearfully, "This is terrifying. Are we really going to that island?"

Zoro also looked ahead with a heavy gaze and said in a deep voice:

"Hey Chopper, Luffy's brother is still on that island, let's go with him!"

Perhaps sensing the heavy atmosphere, Nami suddenly slapped Zoro on the head, and under his angry glare, pretended to be relaxed, saying:

"Why are you so nervous? We have Harry with us. He can solve all our problems!"

Nami's friends were somewhat skeptical of what she said.

Even though Usopp became a lender and mastered amazing magic, he had never seen Harry use it and still doubted Harry's abilities.

In his mind, Harry should have the strength of an ordinary Shichibukai, but was he really a match for a Yonko?
There are always some records about the Four Emperors in the news, so Usopp has some understanding of the level of powerhouses that the Four Emperors are.

They are real monsters, capable of destroying an island with a single blow!
So he asked Harry with some concern:
"Harry, are you really sure? Don't be reckless. We'll be with you and go together!"

The longer Harry spent with the Straw Hat Pirates, the more affection he developed for them.

They are a group of pure people, purer and kinder than most people in the world.

Harry smiled at everyone and assured them:

"Don't worry, with me here, we're guaranteed to win!"

Although the Straw Hat crew is essentially an adventure party rather than pirates who burn, kill, and plunder, they are still wanted by the Navy, so they need to choose specific ports to land at.

Sabaody Archipelago 1-29 is home to numerous shady businesses, including human auctions, and is a lawless zone with no law enforcement. Therefore, the group landed at Port 10.

Upon landing at the port, everyone immediately sensed the difference in atmosphere.

Even in these lawless areas, there are now a few naval soldiers on guard, but they are not maintaining order; instead, they coexist with the navy.

Their only goal is to completely eliminate all undead creatures in their sights!
Just as we stepped out of the port, a battle broke out ahead.

Several marines, a Mink, and a fierce woman are besieging a undead giant.

That undead giant was a full ten meters tall and possessed considerable strength, far surpassing the sea monsters that Harry and his friends had encountered before.

At this moment, he continuously swung his badly damaged giant axe, which was covered with a lot of flesh and blood, and attacked the enemies in front of him.

Noticing the power generated by the giant's attack, the Straw Hat crew's expressions changed slightly.

As expected of the Sabaody Archipelago, which is now the focus of the world, even a random undead you encounter has such terrifying power.

This giant's power is no less than Sanji's current strength!
The giant's enemies were also quite powerful. Among them, a fierce woman with pink hair dodged the giant's attack and then suddenly punched the giant's body.

The next moment, something magical happened.

The giant's body visibly shrank by one meter, and its decaying appearance also seemed to make it look much younger!
Harry muttered to himself, "Could this be the power of a Devil Fruit? To think that a random Devil Fruit I encountered could be related to time!"

Seeing the excitement, Luffy naturally wouldn't miss it.

He grinned to his gums, letting out his signature loud laugh:
"Hey, hey, hey, this is so much fun! Let me join in! Rubber-rubber—rocket launcher!"

Luffy's well-intentioned help didn't earn the gratitude of the group fighting the undead. Instead, they looked at Luffy with suspicion, and the pink-haired, burly woman even angrily cursed:
"Damn Straw Hat Boy, you want to get involved too? Let me tell you, even if you do, you won't get a single energy stone of the reward!"

"Energy Stone?" Harry noticed the name keenly and couldn't help but ponder it.

Moments later, with Luffy joining the fight, the undead were quickly defeated.

Just as the undead was defeated and rapidly regenerating, the others simultaneously struck, smashing the undead giant's head and finding a fist-sized crystal inside.

Then, under Luffy's puzzled gaze, everyone began to scramble for it. In the end, the pink-clad, burly woman snatched the energy stone and crushed it violently.

After that, her body was enveloped in black energy.

To Harry's surprise, after washing his hands of this ominous energy, the fierce woman's physical and spiritual strength both improved slightly.

However, this was not without its downsides. Sometime during the night, a trace of black energy appeared in her soul and became completely entangled in its depths.

Harry's gaze sharpened slightly; it was a mark resembling that of a dimensional daemons!

Harry now understood what had just happened.

After people in this world kill the undead, they will find energy crystals inside the undead's skull.

After people discovered that crushing energy crystals could enhance their physical abilities, they began to focus all their efforts on killing the undead.

But more battles lead to more infections, creating more undead, thus perpetuating the cycle.

Even if one survives by sheer luck in the battle against the undead and continuously strengthens their physique by crushing energy stones, it is not necessarily a good thing.

During the process of strengthening their physique, people's souls are constantly corrupted. All that's needed is for the evil god to descend, effortlessly activating the corruption within their souls and harvesting these cultivated souls. The demon god invading the One Piece world is a cunning individual comparable to Mephisto!
By asking others, the Straw Hat crew immediately learned the specific function of the energy stone.

Despite knowing that these energy stones obtained from the skulls of the dead were extremely strange, her eyes immediately lit up with a golden light upon learning that a single high-quality energy stone could be exchanged for millions of Berries. She quickly dismissed any potential danger and excitedly exclaimed:

"Hahaha, a single energy stone is worth millions of Berries! It seems this Sea of ​​the Dead is a treasure trove prepared just for me!"

"Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, let's hurry up and hunt some ghosts! One-fifth of the ghosts we hunt will be yours to strengthen your bodies, and the rest I'll exchange for Berries to use as crew funds. That's settled!"

Noticing that Nami also had the idea of ​​hunting for energy stones, Harry felt somewhat helpless and told the Straw Hat crew about his guess.

Nico Robin frowned, looking somewhat worried:

"But now almost all the powerful beings are using energy stones to strengthen themselves. They have all been corrupted by the power of the demon god. Is there any hope for this world?"

Harry reassured him, "Don't worry, as long as the Daedalus hasn't descended, your world is still safe. Let's go to Sabaody Archipelago to get enough information so I can find the root cause of the Daedalus invasion and end this whole thing!"

……

Compared to the outer beaches, the interior of the Sabaody Archipelago maintains a certain order, and apart from the pervasive smell of blood in the air, nothing seems different from usual.

Luffy and his crew spotted some Sabaody products at a roadside shop and immediately wanted to buy them; the bubble bicycles completely captivated them.

However, it was obvious that Nami was unwilling to spend money, and in the end, Harry used Transfiguration to permanently transform some of the gold, which satisfied everyone present.

The group rode bubble bicycles toward the distant market. Nico Robin, having spent many years in the dark side of the world, knew where to quickly gather current information.

Without a doubt, black market intelligence dealers are the best choice, bar none!

Upon arriving at the market, the group split into two. Luffy, Chopper, and the others, who enjoyed the excitement, went to explore the area, while Nami, Harry, and the others, who were more composed, went to find the black market merchants to gather information.

After leaving the black market merchant, Harry had a complete understanding of the current situation in the pirate world.

The New World has now become a world of the dead. Apart from Whitebeard, the other three emperors of the sea have escaped to the paradise of the New World through Fish-Man Island.

To avoid direct conflict with the navy, they were currently anchored on several islands not far from the Sabaody Archipelago, where they were also annihilating the undead who had escaped from the New World.

They also didn't want this world to become a paradise for the dead, since they also needed to live in this world.

At the same time, killing undead and obtaining energy stones can take them a step further to their peak strength, so why not?

According to information from black market dealers, the Whitebeard Pirates are now heading towards Paradise.

The Fish-Man Kingdom has now completely abandoned Fish-Man Island. In a few days, the Whitebeard Pirates will arrive at the Sabaody Archipelago, and the decisive battle that will determine the fate of the world will begin!

Upon hearing the news that there might only be seven days left in the One Piece world, everyone except Harry felt much worse.

They decided to return immediately to find Luffy and see if they could temporarily join the Navy to contribute to the final battle.

After all, Luffy's grandfather is the pirate hero Garp. In a time when the world's survival is in danger, the lines between pirates and the navy are blurred to the extreme. Garp definitely has a way to get them to join the navy and learn more information.

The group rode bubble cars and quickly found Luffy and his crew on the street, but their current situation looked rather bad.

They appeared to be in conflict with some people wearing transparent glass domes.

Because Nami is in this world, Harry pays some attention to it and naturally knows the identities of these people.

The Celestial Dragons are descendants of the 20 kings who established the World Government 800 years ago, and they consider themselves great nobles!
They lived in luxury, abused their power, and committed various heinous and domineering acts in places like the Sabaody Archipelago, such as abducting women and arbitrarily killing civilians.

Because of these things, they were also targets that Harry needed to eliminate before leaving.

Perhaps before reforming the wizarding world, we can use the pirate world as a testing ground to carry out a reform without worrying about future troubles!

……

A few minutes earlier, Luffy and his crew were taking a walk when the Roswald family, the Celestial Dragons, suddenly stopped beside them.

Among them, Charlia Palace stared at Chopper, her eyes lighting up as she said:

"Haha, what a strange new pet! It looks weird and can even talk! Dad, I want to buy it as my new toy!"

She giggled, her eyes filled with contempt and arrogance, and reached out to grab Chopper's ear, her face showing an impatient expression.

As a Celestial Dragon, she has always been able to take whatever she wants, so this guy in the hat in front of her certainly wouldn't dare refuse to sell her this pet!
Saint Roswald nodded and smiled:
"My dear daughter, don't worry, it's just a deer, a few tens of thousands of Berries will suffice."

Roswald Saint, too lazy to count the money, took out hundreds of thousands of Berries and threw them directly at Luffy's face, then ordered his slaves:
"Fool, why aren't you putting a slave collar on that reindeer and handing it over to my precious daughter?"

The 2.6-meter-tall slave immediately stepped forward, ready to grab Chopper.

Luffy was initially confused after being hit in the face with money, but he finally realized that the people in front of him were bad guys who wanted to harm his crewmates!
He was naturally unhappy and immediately punched the slave, who was nearly a meter taller than him, sending him flying. He roared at Saint Rozward:
"You damn bastard, what are you trying to do to Chopper? Chopper is not for sale!"

With Luffy backing him up, Chopper suddenly felt much more confident and roared at Roswald Saint:
"Damn it, I'm a member of the Straw Hat Pirates too, not a pet!"

Saint Roswald was furious that these lowly pirates dared to defy him.
"You bunch of lowly, ignorant fools, how dare you disobey the orders of the Celestial Dragons!"

Do you know what you're doing? The Navy will tear you to pieces and hang your heads up for all to see!
"If you know what's good for you, hand over that monster right now and kowtow to me in apology. Maybe I'll be in a good mood and spare your lives!"

Upon hearing Roswald's words, Luffy's face darkened with anger. He clenched his fists and shouted:
"You old geezer, you're not allowed to talk about Chopper like that! He's our partner, not some monster, and definitely not your toy! I don't care who you are, if you dare bully my partner, I'll beat you to a pulp!"

After saying that, Luffy assumed a fighting stance, ready to attack Roswald Saint at any moment.

But just before he was about to launch his attack, a dazzling flash of light struck, instantly sending him flying!
A series of flashes of light rushed in from a distance, gradually coalescing into the shape of a person near the Celestial Dragon.

A man over two meters tall, dressed in a yellow fitted suit, and in his fifties emerged from the light, looking lazily in the direction Luffy had been knocked away:
"Oh dear, this is really troublesome~ How dare they attack a Celestial Dragon! That's a serious crime indeed~"
