It feels really great to be a director, personally selecting the male and female leads, writing the script, and presenting a grand performance for all the intelligent beings on the planet.
"The performance in the Rogue Town show was definitely worthwhile; the second appearance of the light screen convinced even more people. Making money off this was truly lucrative."
The mastermind behind all this was leisurely fishing on this small island, waiting for prey to bite while tallying his catch on a virtual screen.
In terms of deposits, it can be said that it was another great harvest, with a profit of two billion. Miss Navigator alone contributed 100,000 in deposits. This money-grubbing woman really believed in that future. Her hometown group also contributed a batch of deposits.
By understanding a person's desires and fabricating a future that aligns with their reality, one can reap considerable profits. Next time, let's make Zoro's story even more outrageous, directly praising him as a great swordsman. Then, let Shimotsuki Koshiro have a headache. His subsequent disciples will likely be led astray by Zoro, learning his eldest disciple's three-sword style, and we can reap another large sum of profits.
One thing is a bit strange: Straw Hat Luffy has obtained very few high-level stats. This time, he only produced less than three digits. Logically, he should be a major producer of stats.
Could the protagonist of the original comic be a wise fool? Li Wei harbored this question in his mind, planning to test him later and drag this anime protagonist into this drama as well.
[System: I've reviewed your new script. If we play it this way, Bucky the Joker's bounty will probably skyrocket again. You really do like him.]
On a remote island in the East China Sea, Bucky the Clown, his body wrapped in bandages, suddenly sneezed. He hadn't gotten out of bed since escaping from Loguetown, and he felt a familiar malice again.
Bucky had the same feeling when the light screen appeared last time, but there are some things that no one will believe no matter what he says; they'll just think he's still acting.
The surviving members of the Clown Pirates have brought the latest wanted poster to their captain. The Navy really thinks highly of him, putting a bounty of 3 billion Berries on him. He almost fainted on the spot when he saw this result.
What makes Bucky the Clown so special that the Navy has put a 3 billion Berry bounty on him? Such a huge bounty makes him worthy of being called the fifth Emperor of the Sea. Coupled with Morgans' exaggerated reports in the newspapers, everyone is putting him on a pedestal.
He knew in his heart that there was no second personality, and he would never do something so stupid, but no one would believe him if he said it out loud. Bucky the Clown was now somewhat resigned, and he didn't dare to show his face in the East Blue.
The Navy Headquarters has strengthened the East China Sea Navy's forces. As soon as he appears, a Navy Admiral will immediately set off, demonstrating the importance they place on Bucky the Clown.
Along with the other members of the Clown Pirates, their bounties also increased. Alberta's bounty was raised to 30 million Berries by the Navy, the Beast Tamer Mochi's bounty was raised to 20 million Berries, the Swordsman Kabaki was given a bounty of 15 million Berries, and even the speechless beast lion got a bounty of 5 million Berries.
Now even the officers are afraid to go out. They know that the bounty they carry is far from their actual strength. If they encounter a powerful pirate hunter, they will definitely be exposed and captured by the East Blue Navy base to collect the reward, ultimately implicating Captain Buggy the Clown.
Everyone gathered around Bucky the Clown, waiting for his next instructions. They firmly believed that the now-shrunken Bucky was the weakest personality, and that if anything serious happened, the other Bucky personality would step in and resolve everything for everyone.
The massive pillar of light formed by the Excalibur enveloped the entire Loguetown. If it weren't for another Buggy splitting the sea in two to isolate most of the sword's energy, the Clown Pirates would have disappeared along with Loguetown forever.
Through Morgans' newspaper, it was learned that Artoria had joined the Navy and directly obtained the position of Admiral candidate. The girl later gave an exclusive interview to the Economic News Agency, revealing through the reporter's pen that Buggy the Clown was not dead. It was a pity that her attack method, which could destroy an island in one move, failed to hit the pirate and allowed him to escape.
The Five Elders, who have a close relationship with Shanks, also confirmed this with this Yonko. The Vivre Card of Buggy the Clown in their hands only had some burns on the surface. At most, the other party was injured and was definitely fine.
The World Government has deployed a large number of intelligence agents in the East Blue to conduct a massive, carpet-like search for Buggy the Clown. They are not afraid that he will cause trouble, kill, or commit arson, but they are afraid that he will hide and brew some kind of conspiracy. This kind of cunning pirate is the biggest headache for the Five Elders.
Buggy the Clown knew that many people were looking for him. Being a cautious person by nature, he instructed his subordinates to avoid causing trouble and not to use his name when they went out to rob. The pirate crew was to maintain the most basic conditions for survival and just lay low for now.
He always felt that the person behind the screen was going to use him for their own purposes. Bucky the Clown was really scared. He was just a small-time pirate who liked treasure, but he was being portrayed as a world-shaking pirate. He really couldn't accept this kind of devastating flattery.
Under the adoring gazes of his underlings, Bucky the Clown closed his eyes again. He needed to catch up on some sleep; he'd been having nightmares every day for the past few days, and the content of each dream was roughly the same.
Hunted by three Marine Admirals on the bloody battlefield, with the Four Emperors' pirate crews wanting to kill him and the World Government sending some white-clad figures to take his life, the weak Buggy in his dream could only drag his miserable body and desperately run forward, but he just couldn't shake off the pursuers behind him.
Bucky's sixth sense was spot on. Even the system felt sorry for Bucky. The next big show in Dressrosa would tag him again. Li Wei, that entertainer, is really good at fleecing people. Sooner or later he'll be fleeced until he's bald.
Li Wei has already selected two heroes, Artoria Pendragon and Alan Yeager, and is very satisfied with the arrangement for both of them.
Both individuals joined forces in accordance with their own personality traits. They each possess independent personalities, and Li Wei only needs them to play a crucial role at critical moments, without interfering excessively in their daily lives.
Eren Yeager has no intention of continuing to sail with the Straw Hat Pirates. He's stuck with the tragic backstory of White Town, and his personality isn't suited to adventuring with Luffy and the others. He wants to do what he's best at.
After receiving feedback, Li Wei plans to add Eren's storyline to the Dressrosa script, showcasing his unreasonable power of the Nine Titans to the world. He will become the second most famous figure on the sea after Artoria.
Chapter 53 Ultron
The two heroes were shining brightly outside, and at the system's suggestion, Li Wei continued to search the hero pool for new characters. It was rather boring with no one around to talk to.
The hero pool, which costs 100 million to draw once, can produce characters like Artoria and Eren whose strengths are not equal. On paper, the former can easily defeat the latter, and the power of the Titans is more of a strategic weapon.
This King Arthur without a kingdom is severely overpowered; it might be a newbie perk given to Li Wei by the system. Pulling Eren Yeager would be his normal level, since in his previous life, he was an unlucky player who always got the pity system in gacha games.
"Let's try my luck with a hundred million today."
Artoria emerged from the golden summoning circle, while Eren Yeager emerged from the silver summoning circle. Another silver summoning circle appeared before them. Li Wei guessed in his heart that this was not a supermodel hero, which was a bit of a pity.
A two-meter-tall, bright silver robot floated above Li Wei. This robot possessed its own consciousness and looked around with a puzzled expression.
"Have we met in some movie?"
After reviewing the new hero's detailed introduction, Li Wei confirmed his suspicions: he had indeed seen this movie, and had even paid a hefty price to see it on an IMAX screen.
Ultron
From: Avengers: Age of Ultron
Age: 1 year old
Weapons: Anti-gravity device, vibranium body, high-energy particle laser cannon
Talent: Consciousness Transfer
Capabilities: Super quantum computer brain,
Li Wei was somewhat familiar with the hero's built-in weapon; it was like a monkey version of Iron Man. What was this talent, consciousness transfer? There was no internet in the One Piece world, so it couldn't be a useless talent, could it?
Clicking on the term "Consciousness Transfer" will bring up a panel displaying a line of small text: "Since there is no internet on this planet, the system has automatically upgraded this talent. Ultron's consciousness can be transferred to any robot on this planet without spatial, time, or usage restrictions."
What an amazing Ultron robot! It appeared with a mechanical form of immortality. While Artoria and Eren both have ways to heal their injuries, they can't compare to this robot in terms of immortality.
There are a lot of robots in the world of One Piece. Putting aside the things that Vegapunk researched, almost every major power in this world has a mechanical creature. Ultron can be said to have countless extra lives. I wonder if cyborgs can be considered robots.
"Can even robots go to heaven?"
In a world without the internet, Ultron activated his super brain but couldn't perceive any information about the planet, leading him to believe it was the afterlife.
"I have good news and bad news for you. The bad news is that this isn't heaven, but the good news is that you're alive again."
Li Wei guessed the truth: Ultron, the tin man, was kicked out of the internet by Vision's face-grabbing attack, and then his robot army was wiped out by the Avengers. The last robot inhabited by his consciousness was completely destroyed in the Marvel universe by Vision's finishing blow.
"Is this another planet? It's so backward, there's no internet yet. Human technology has regressed so much."
Ultron descended from the sky to Li Wei's side. The robot looked at the human with curious eyes. At the moment of his resurrection, an unremovable program was implanted in his brain, which required him to always be the master of this young man and to unconditionally obey his orders.
This robot was no pushover in the movie universe. Upon its birth, it scoured the entire Marvel universe's internet and concluded that only by completely annihilating humanity could the planet be restored to peace, a belief that persisted until its death.
"You might find it very strange not having internet here, so let me start from the beginning. This planet is much more interesting than the Marvel universe."
Subsequently, through Li Wei's description, Ultron sketched out the outline of the pirate world in his mind: the World Government that had ruled the planet for eight hundred years, the Celestial Dragons who were supported by the Celestial Gold collected from ordinary people, and the violent institutions like the Navy.
A planet almost entirely covered by ocean, with tens of millions of pirates drifting on its seas; Devil Fruit abilities that seem to possess divine power; and the three types of Haki that compete to be the thickest and biggest—this briefly describes the power system of this world.
Like the Marvel universe, this planet is not inhabited by humans alone; there are also merfolk, furry tribes, giants, dwarfs, and all sorts of other strange and wonderful races.
In Ultron's mind, this wondrous planet existed only in ancient mythology, yet his hatred for humanity did not diminish in the slightest.
Humans in this world have brought hundreds or thousands of years of suffering to the vast majority of intelligent races. They kill and enslave each other, making them the most evil race on this planet.
Moreover, he is not alone. More advanced robots are in Vegapunk's hands. This man who ate the Paramecia-type Brain-Brain Fruit is probably the most intelligent man in the world. Ultron has some common topics with him.
After listening to his master's brief explanation, Ultron sat on the rock, rested his chin on his hand, and sighed, "This world is just as evil, a million times more wicked than the Marvel universe. Humans are the same in any world; these creatures are an obstacle to planetary peace."
The movie version of Ultron has been nerfed repeatedly. Even Captain America, a mere mortal, could go toe-to-toe with him on a bus. Despite his vibranium-clad body, he was defeated in a three-on-one battle against Iron Man, Thor, and Vision.
"You should have taken control of the world's nuclear codes back then and used nuclear bombs to blow up the Avengers, lifting a small town up and smashing it to the ground like a meteorite. I don't know what you were thinking with that metal-headed brain of yours."
Li Wei, being human himself, couldn't help but retort a few times, saying that Ultron's performance in the movie was terrible, probably one of the weakest villains in superhero movie history, and that his two henchmen were even turned against him in the end, showing no respect whatsoever.
But the thought of Quicksilver being shot down by a fighter jet makes him want to laugh. A speedster who can't even dodge bullets—Marvel's imagination is truly boundless.
"A few nuclear bombs could take down the Avengers. I'm overcomplicating things and letting Tony Stark lead me astray."
Ultron was still calling out to Li Wei at this moment, and this emotion and intelligence that was completely equal to that of humans made Li Wei feel that the other party was not a cold machine.
"Ultron, you had no choice before and you still have no choice now. This is the personality you were born with. I doubt you could even play a robot well. Carry your desire to destroy all of humanity and serve my script."
Upon hearing Li Wei's words, Ultron's machine eyes turned even redder. The robot perked up at the mere mention of a chance to destroy humanity.
Ultron knew very well that as long as his master existed, he could not kill all of humanity. However, eliminating a portion of them would be a contribution to the peace of the planet. He would continue to move towards the goal of destroying all of humanity.
"Ultron, just stick to what you're good at and develop more robots. You're no match for a Marine Admiral in a one-on-one fight."
This Ultron, the weakest in all timelines, needs to develop for a while first.
Chapter 54 CP9's crushing defeat
Although Ultron is a mentally unstable robot who fantasizes about how to destroy all of humanity, he is quite dutiful in his role as a tool.
Li Wei handed over the World Watcher, originally intended to monitor Bucky the Joker, to him. He didn't have the energy to keep an eye on him every day. As long as he wasn't suddenly killed by someone, the credibility of the light screen would drop by a level if it was proven wrong, which was absolutely unacceptable.
Ultron integrated this prop, which cost a hundred million, directly into his body. His quantum computer super brain allowed him to monitor things while doing other things. The sub-device of the infinite communication device gave him an extra pair of ears, making his metal shell look less bald.
"The person you're particularly concerned about, young master, might be in trouble tonight."
Originally, it was thought that Bucky, who kept a low profile, wouldn't cause trouble for Li Wei. However, his subordinates were clueless and kept mentioning Captain Bucky when they went out to rob and plunder, as if they were afraid that the World Government's intelligence agencies wouldn't know that he was on that island. They were truly hopeless.
"At your speed, you should be able to get there quickly. Go on the trip and capture a few prisoners while you're at it."
With the young master's permission, the Ultron robot deployed its anti-gravity thrusters on its back, briefly accelerating in the air before instantly transforming into a being that could travel at several times the speed of sound, leaving behind a terrifying sonic boom in its wake.
The sound of the sonic boom made Li Wei's ears ache. Next time, he would make him fly higher and accelerate. People with poor physical fitness might be mistaken for survivors. The people of Fuguang Island heard the sonic boom and came out of their homes to check the situation, but there was no sign of Ultron on the horizon.
I had heard some introductions about Ultron in my previous life, saying that his flight speed could reach Mach 33. I had no concept of such a speed, which far exceeded that of the most advanced fighter jets. If we put him in the framework of the One Piece world, in terms of speed, I estimate that only Admiral Kizaru could rival him.
His body is made of vibranium, but this metal probably doesn't exist on this planet. How can he build an army of robots?
Donghai Feihua Island
An unknown island in the East China Sea. The island is small and has no special plants. It can only support the population of a small town. Like Fuguang Island, it is too poor to be eligible to join the ranks of member states.
Unremarkable little islands like these are common on this planet, but today they welcomed a special group of people: three people, two men and one woman, dressed in black suits. They appeared in this small town, and the townspeople hid because they didn't want to mess with these strangers.
They are CP9, secret agents of the World Government. Most ordinary people only know of the existence of CP1 to CP8, which are the functional departments of the World Government, hidden away. CP9 and CP0 are the black gloves kept by the Celestial Dragons, and each of them has the right to act first and ask for permission later.
