"The world of One Piece?" Black Tower asked with a hint of curiosity, indicating that Skywalker had also obtained some previously unknown information.

"This world is still some distance away from us, but its overall nature is consistent with previous predictions. It is a world dominated by the water element, with its environment and rules revolving around the ocean. What's particularly special is the abundance of wood element rule fragments, which is likely directly related to its own power system."

Zheng Tianxing pondered silently, the huge prophetic mural he had known before his transmigration appearing in his mind.

"The Second World—"

"Breathe in the void, the forest god sends demons, and the sun god continues to spread the flames of war."

"The people of the half-moon had a dream, the people of the moon had a dream."

"Humans ascended to godhood after killing the sun."

"The sea god was enraged and wreaked havoc; they could never see each other again."

If we correlate the wood-attribute rule fragments with the demons sent by the forest god, which are essentially Devil Fruits, then perhaps we can find an explanation for why Devil Fruit users in the One Piece world are rejected by the sea.

In this world, the water-based rules represented by the sea god are absolutely dominant, and heterogeneous rules are naturally rejected.

However, how exactly does the Forest God produce Devil Fruits? This technology is quite valuable to learn from, and perhaps our own future World Tree can also benefit from it.

Black Tower continued, "Judging from the energy level reaction, it is at the same level as the Dangan World, but its overall potential seems to be higher. The world consciousness that manages this world has not yet awakened and is currently in a dormant state, merely wandering and devouring in the universe based on instinct."

Tianxing looked at the area densely packed with fragments of rules, a question arising in his mind: "Since it has already accumulated a large number of water-attribute rule fragments, why is it still being attracted here?"

Black Tower glanced at it and casually replied, "It's probably just the instinct of a hoarding rat. It sensed the presence of more resources and followed the flow of rules to find its way here."

"So how should we deal with this world? Is there still a possibility of intervention this time?"

After a moment's thought, Black Tower made his assessment: "The other side's world consciousness is still dormant, which is both an opportunity and a risk. Given our current size, it's not suitable for high-intensity intervention, but we still have a way to infiltrate."

"Since it follows the fragments of rules, we only need to disguise ourselves at the rule level, making ourselves appear as similar fragments, and then enter accordingly. However, this method will impose certain limitations on our actions."

Tianxing was somewhat surprised: "You can do it like that? Are there any limitations?"

Black Tower seemed to find the plan quite interesting, a smile playing on his lips as he continued to explain, "It's attracted by the water attribute rules, so we'll disguise ourselves as water attribute energy bodies and let it actively incorporate us into its world during the absorption process. Once inside, the restrictions shouldn't be too great; as long as we don't cause any world-destroying commotion, there shouldn't be any major problems."

"The same principle applies when leaving. I can provide cover for you from outside the world. As long as He seems to be feeding normally, He should be able to escape smoothly. You can take some resources with you, but not too many. Ideally, they should have some water attribute."

Tianxing quickly grasped this logic in his mind. Essentially, it was about sneaking in through a certain route and then taking the opportunity to leave with the spoils.

However, his thinking has shifted to a more practical direction.

The fish-men are in a bad situation in the pirate world; all they crave is a peaceful life on land. Since that's the case, moving to another land might not be so bad, after all, land in another world is still land.

From a practical standpoint, Melon Town is facing a crisis and urgently needs combat power. The fish-men of the One Piece world possess exceptional physical abilities, particularly in naval combat, and can cooperate with fishermen, making them likely to be welcomed. More importantly, their appearance differs significantly from the fish-men monsters of DanMachi, allowing for normal communication and preventing them from being perceived as a threat; rather, they are positioned closer to demi-humans.

The world of DanMachi is already inhabited by many demi-humans, and the town of Melon has long been home to cat-people and other races due to the development of fishing. Therefore, the acceptance of other races is quite high. Introducing fish-people into this environment would not only avoid rejection but would also allow for rapid integration and a significant boost to aquatic-related production capabilities.

If the town of Mellen is to be expanded into a city in the future, introducing such a group of ethnic groups with clear advantages in advance can not only alleviate the current pressure, but also lay the groundwork for future development.

Looks like it's time to pull off another big heist.

The video is still playing; the white-haired man is still fighting, and laughter can be faintly heard.

How long until we can make contact with this world again?

"Based on the current situation, it will probably take more than a month."

Tianxing stared at the fighting figures on the screen, and said thoughtfully, "Then let's go to this new world after Alphia and the others finish their investigation."

Before leaving, Tianxing handed the grimoire he had brought back from Orario to Heita: "Here, take this. It might be helpful for your research on the Grace system."

Black Tower took it, casually flipped through a few pages, his eyes flickered slightly, and a faint smile appeared on his lips—it seemed he had discovered something interesting.

-----------------

On the other side, somewhere near Lake Lolog.

The place where countless outer monsters had perished had long been jokingly referred to as the training ground by the crowd. With the help of others, Chun took turns using various weapons she had crafted herself—swords, axes, halberds, and spears—to engage in fair one-on-one duels with Blue Crab.

After felling another blue crab, Chun straightened up and said thoughtfully, "The center of gravity of this battle axe is indeed as Uncle Grace said; it does feel a bit awkward in actual combat. It's clear that just forging weapons isn't enough; you miss out on a lot without actually fighting them. Coming here this time was definitely the right decision!"

"Now you understand what I'm talking about, right, Tsubaki?" Grace shouted from the side.

"Okay! Uncle Grace, give me some time, I'll get this axe in top condition today!"

When they first returned to the training grounds a while ago, the group spent several days clearing out the monsters that had re-emerged around Lake Lolog. The reason they were able to clear the area so much faster than last time was twofold: firstly, the main combat members of the Prometheus Familia had leveled up one after another, significantly increasing their stats; and secondly, Tsubaki's arrival had conveniently solved the weapon maintenance issue.

Chun was already a Level 2, and after joining the fight, she quickly proved herself to be a reliable combatant. She usually served as a mid-range fighter, hovering on the edge of battle. When encountering unfamiliar monsters, she would proactively switch weapons and try them out, saying she wanted to feel the texture of the flesh and test how well her weapon worked. During lulls in combat, she wasn't idle either; she would readily help adjust anyone's weapon if it malfunctioned, saving a lot of trouble.

The clearing of the outer perimeter progressed more smoothly than expected, and the group took the opportunity to turn their attention to the deeper areas. After several ventures into the heart of Lolog Lake, luring out lone murlocs and killing them, they gradually gained a basic understanding of these monsters.

In terms of individual combat strength, they are not particularly remarkable, only slightly troublesome because they can use weapons; their overall level is only slightly stronger than the Blue Crab. The real problem lies in their teamwork.

After this rest and regrouping, everyone's equipment and condition are now ready. The next step is to lure out the murloc leader and wipe him out in one fell swoop.
