One Piece: Starting with the Reanimation of Madara

Madara Uchiha suddenly realized something was off about Lin Xuan and looked at him directly, asking, "Do you know something?"

“That’s right, I do know some interesting things. Don’t worry, keep reading, you’ll find out soon!” Lin Xuan said with a smile.

Madara Uchiha snorted, clearly displeased that Lin Xuan was deliberately keeping them in suspense, but he didn't press the matter further.

Before anyone could react, suddenly—

"Boom!"

The red earth suddenly began to shake violently, and many people lost their footing and fell to the ground.

"Crack! Click!"

The sudden turn of events startled many people in the crowd, who stared pale-faced at the cracking ground.

At that moment, an even more shocking scene unfolded!

"Oh!"

Suddenly, the rock walls of the red earth continent stretching to the horizon shattered, and several enormous vines burst forth from them, coiling towards Hades above.

The vines moved at an astonishing speed, and in the blink of an eye, they had already entangled the Hades warship!

Immediately afterwards, the enormous Hades warship rapidly rose from the sea surface and was soon bound by several huge vines, suspended high in the air.

"Damn it, you dare!"

At that moment, Locke's furious roar echoed from the warship.

"Click! Click! Click!"

A series of crisp, clear sounds rang out, and the vines emitted a bluish-green light, beginning to shrink continuously. The ancient weapon Hades was gradually transforming!

finally--

"Boom!"

A deafeningly loud bang rang out!

The Hades warship was crushed flat by the vines and then suddenly exploded.

In mid-air, countless figures darted out, members of the Beasts Pirates, Big Mom Pirates, and Flying Pirates!

"What?! The Ancient Weapon Pluton has been destroyed!"

"Can anyone tell me what's going on?"

"How terrifying! What exactly are those vines?"

……

Everyone present stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief, completely stunned by what they were witnessing.

Legend has it that the ancient weapon Hades not only possesses extremely terrifying destructive power, but its surface is also incredibly hard, and very few weapons can leave any marks on it!

However, this murder weapon was actually shredded by several giant vines!

Is this some kind of dream?!

"President Lin Xuan, what exactly is 217?" The white-bearded man couldn't help but swallow hard, his face filled with shock.

Lin Xuan smiled, but instead of answering him directly, he asked, "Before that, let me ask you a question: Do you know how Devil Fruits come about?"

Upon hearing this question, Whitebeard paused for a moment, then said with some confusion, "During the voyage, there's a chance that a tree with a Devil Fruit might appear on some small islands!"

"So, what will happen to that tree when you pick the Devil Fruit?" Lin Xuan asked again.

“Once the Devil Fruit is picked, the tree will wither quickly, and even most of the trees on the entire island will wither soon!” Whitebeard continued.

At this point, he became even more puzzled and couldn't help but ask again, "President Lin, what does this have to do with these vines in front of us?"

Lin Xuan's lips curled slightly. He didn't keep them in suspense any longer and explained, "It's extremely important. What you've encountered before were just the offspring trees of Devil Fruits, but these vines appearing before you now are the mother trees of Devil Fruits!"

Chapter 390 Hades Shattered! Lox's Unusual Changes

The mother tree of Devil Fruits?

Hashirama Senju and the others were all stunned.

They have been in this world for quite some time now, and they have a basic understanding of many things about it.

However, this was the first time they had heard Lin Xuan say something like that.

Not to mention them, even Whitebeard and Shanks had never heard of them before.

"President Lin, what exactly is going on?" the white-bearded man asked.

At this moment, Lin Xuan looked at Roger, who had been silent all along, and said, "Roger, you should know what's going on, right?"

"You really can't hide anything from me!" Roger said with a hint of helplessness.

"That's right. When I was still alive, I was secretly exploring the secrets of this world. Later, by studying historical texts from various places, I did discover some shocking truths!"

Shanks nodded. He had noticed it back then too; the captain seemed to be exploring something, but he hadn't told them in detail what he was investigating.

Roger thought for a moment and began to say, "All the Devil Fruits in this world are actually born from a tree. When the fruit matures, it will automatically detach and fly to various parts of the world, and then randomly parasitize other plants."

"The trees that people see growing Devil Fruits are actually just ordinary trees parasitized by Devil Fruits. The tree that truly gave birth to a Devil Fruit is the Devil Mother Tree!"

Then, he looked at the vines emerging from the Red Earth and said, "Back then, I only knew of the existence of the Demon Mother Tree, and I never found out its whereabouts until I died!"

Everyone present was surprised upon hearing this.

Lin Xuan nodded. He had just received a message from Xiao Nan that Nico Robin and the others had discovered important information about the Demon Mother Tree.

Besides what Roger said, he also learned that the Demon Mother Tree had always been in the hands of the World Government, and its true form was in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise!

No, it should be said that the Holy Land Mary Geoise was built on top of the Demon Mother Tree, whose true form has always been hidden beneath the entire Red Line!

That's right, the Demon Mother Tree is enormous, and the entire Red Earth continent that divides this world in two is its hiding place!

Nico Robin and her team even deduced that the giant vine on the sky island was very likely a branch of the Demon Mother Tree.

Even Lin Xuan was surprised to see such information.

At the same time, Lin Xuan also deduced many things.

Why did the twenty Celestial Dragons, who were the founders of the World Government, choose to establish the Holy Land of Mary Geoise here? Why did Im and his comrades fight to the death to protect Mary Geoise when they attacked it?

That's because the core of the Demon Mother Tree is right here!

Was the establishment of a world government simply for the purpose of ruling the world?

No, Lin Xuan thought the World Government was most likely established to protect the Demon Mother Tree.

He even suspected that the Demon Mother Tree possessed its own independent consciousness, and that the true identities of the twenty Celestial Dragon progenitors were merely the guardians of the Demon Mother Tree!

It was with this conjecture that he deliberately refrained from attacking when Hades launched his attack, wanting to see the Demon Mother Tree's reaction.

It seems that he guessed everything correctly!

"Boom!"

At this moment, the ancient weapon Hades finally exploded completely.

As for the people who were originally on the warship, they had already fled in panic.

On the sea, a huge dragon soared into the sky, which was none other than Kaido in disguise. Beside him, Charlotte Linlin rode on Prometheus and also took to the air.

Needless to say, the Golden Lion is skilled in flying.

The members of the three major pirate crews scattered and fled, but even so, many people still couldn't escape in time and were blown up along with Pluton!

At this moment, Rocks' face was so gloomy it was almost dripping with water.

Unexpectedly, what he considered an absolutely perfect plan turned out to be like this, and all those years of planning ultimately came to nothing!

What he didn't expect was that what ruined all his plans was actually a few vines!

Lox was furious as he looked at the destroyed warship. He roared angrily, "Die!"

Immediately, he began to launch a frenzied attack on the giant vines.

"Boom!"

A dazzling light emanated from his hands, like a sun. This was his Devil Fruit ability; an extremely hot ball of light burst forth from his hands and blasted towards the giant vine!

However, the ball of light disappeared immediately upon landing on the vine, without causing any damage to it.

At this moment, Lox's body trembled, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

He then stood frozen in place, motionless, looking as if he had lost his soul.

"Captain Rocks, what's wrong?" Charlotte Linlin called out hurriedly.

However, Rocks never responded.

At this moment, Kaido, Shiki, and the others' expressions changed drastically.

Something's wrong. Something seems to have happened to Captain Kross!

Meanwhile, in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise...

Im reappeared before everyone, holding the Heavenly King, but he looked somewhat different.
