Simultaneous Transmigration: Why is it all One Piece world?

"By using the Ryuo (flowing cherry blossom) technique to destroy the structure from the inside, we can avoid triggering an explosion instantly."

Hyogoro glanced at him.

"Does my benefactor understand the art of cherry blossom cultivation?"

"I understand a little, but not completely."

Hyogoro nodded and looked back at the shackles.

He took a deep breath, grasped Yamato's wrists with both hands, and closed his eyes.

Cherry blossoms.

That's a higher level of Armament Haki; it's not about covering the surface, but about making the power flow and penetrate into the interior of the object.

A faint black light emanated from Hyogoro's hands.

one second.

two seconds.

three seconds.

Click.

A soft sound.

On Yamato's wrist, a small crack appeared in the shackles that had bound her for more than a decade.

Hyōgor's expression changed.

"not good--!"

He yanked hard, pulling the shackles off Yamato's hands, and then threw them into the air with all his might.

The shackles flew into the sky.

A sense of crisis washed over them, and everyone simultaneously dropped to the ground.

boom--!

A violent explosion erupted in mid-air, flames shooting skyward, and the shockwave swept across, knocking everyone to the ground. Nock rolled twice on the ground, his ears ringing.

After the explosion subsided, he looked up.

Damn it, Kaido is really ruthless! No wonder Yamato wanted to slay her father, taking Oden, who had fought Kaido, as an example.

Yamato stood amidst the ruins, his hands raised high, looking at his wrists.

Pure white, clean.

There's nothing left.

There were no shackles, no restraints, only two shallow marks from the straps.

She looked down at her hands for a very long time.

Then tears welled up.

"I...I'm free..."

She was crying and laughing, then suddenly turned around abruptly.

Before Nok could react, a lithe figure pounced on him.

"Thank you!!!"

Shockwave!

Another sudden and massive shockwave!

Nok's face was buried in something soft, the girl's unique fragrance lingering around his nose. He struggled to speak, but found his voice muffled.

"Waaah... Waaah..."

Ace and his crew watched this scene with varying expressions.

Ace pursed his lips.

The crew members glanced sideways and sneered.

Hyogoro stroked his beard, smiling without saying a word.

While enjoying this unexpected "benefit," Nock silently complained in his mind.

See? See?

That girl really is brainless.

but......

He felt the texture again.

cough cough.

Foolish as it may be, it's got a lot of substance.

When Yamato finally released him, Nock took a deep breath and stood up nonchalantly.

"Alright, alright, stop crying. You'll have plenty of opportunities to cry later."

Yamato wiped away his tears, blew a snot bubble, and nodded vigorously.

"Um!"

...

On the boat, a gentle sea breeze was blowing.

Heigoro looked at the three young men in front of him and immediately knelt down.

"Thank you all for your help. I thought I was going to die in that horrible place, the quarry."

Ace waved his hand, pulled Hyogoro up, and grinned.

"You helped Yamato gain his freedom, and we rescued you; we're even!"

Heigoro was infected by his smile, shook his head, and smiled too.

It was impossible to resolve this amicably, but Hyogoro didn't press the matter further and said:

"I will forever remember your kindness, and I will go through fire and water for you if you ever need anything!"

He turned to look at Yamato, then at Nok, his gaze sweeping over the mountain of "trophies" before finally settling on the second-generation Kitetsu at Nok's waist, his eyes narrowing slightly.

That knife...

He didn't say anything, but just gave Nock a deep look.

Ace suddenly raised his hands and announced loudly.

"Alright! To celebrate the arrival of our new member—"

"Oh, the banquet is starting!"

Nock rolled his eyes in exasperation.

"I haven't said I'd join yet."

But nobody paid him any attention.

The crew has already started unloading the liquor.

"Let's start the banquet!"

......

A campfire was lit on the ship, and the aroma of roasted meat wafted through the air. One after another, wine jars were opened, and Ace, holding a wine jar, tilted his head back and gulped down the liquor. His crew members formed a circle, singing and dancing. After being given a few drinks, Hyogoro also began to relax and recounted his glorious past as a yakuza boss in the Flower Capital.

It was Yamato's first time attending such a "normal people's banquet," and she was incredibly excited. She carried a wine jar around, clinking glasses with everyone she met. After each drink, she would giggle like an idiot, and after another drink, she would start dancing—a dance that was completely unstructured but inexplicably joyful.

Yohohohoyohohoho

Yohohohoyohohoho

...

And speaking of banquets, this song is indeed indispensable.

Although the Spade Pirates don't have any official musicians, that doesn't stop the drunken pirates from loudly singing off-key songs.

Yohohohoyohohoho

Yohohohoyohohoho

Bring Binks's liquor to your side.

Like the sea breeze, riding the waves at will.

On the other side of the sea

Even the sunset is noisy

Birds' songs

Draw a circle in the air

Goodbye, hometown of harbor silk

...

Nok sat by the campfire, slowly sipping his drink and watching the group of people making a ruckus. Before he knew it, he was caught up in the fun and started humming along softly.

"Hey! Nock!" Ace ran over and plopped down next to him, reeking of alcohol. "Why aren't you drinking? Are you raising a Sea King?"

Nock looked at the wine jar in his hand, then at Ace's flushed face.

"I'm drinking."

"Not enough!" Ace snatched the wine jar from his mouth and poured it into his mouth. "Come on, drink up! We're happy today!"

Nock was forced to drink a large mouthful, which made him cough violently.

Ace laughed heartily and patted him on the back.

"That's more like it!"

Nock wiped his mouth and looked at the carefree guy in front of him.

Tsk, what a bastard!

I can't hold my liquor!

But whatever!

Raise the wine jar and invite the moon to drink heartily.

Let's drink and be merry today!

drink!

Sing!

Jump!

...

Let's sing a song, the song of departure.

The golden waves and silver waves also turned into splashing water.

We left only because of the ocean.

Bring Binks's liquor to your side.

We pirates cleave the waves

Home is on the boat, nestled against the waves.

Skull and skull flag flutter in the wind

A fierce wind howled under the boundless sky.

Waves danced and drums resounded.

Being terrified will lead to your demise.

There is always tomorrow's sunrise.

Yohohohoyohohoho

Yohohohoyohohoho

...

I don't know how much time passed.

Nock was awakened by the sunlight.

He opened his eyes and found himself lying on the deck, his head throbbing as if it were splitting open, and his mouth reeking of alcohol.

Damn, I really drank too much.

He struggled to sit up, only to find something soft pressing down on him.

I looked down.

Yamato.

She curled up beside herself like a puppy, breathing shallowly, a trace of drool still clinging to the corner of her mouth, her hair falling down, obscuring half her face, gleaming softly in the morning light.

Well, okay, it's a dog that's at least 2.6 meters tall.

Nock was silent for two seconds.

When did this girl get here?

He tried to move, but Yamato snuggled closer to him, muttering something as if he were talking in his sleep.

"Mi...Tian...no, Nezha...I'm going to slay a dragon...Ace...and...Nok...um...the wine's all gone...good friend, it's delicious..."

Nock: "..."

What are you babbling about? Be careful, that cunning guy might smell you and break your horn before he behaves himself.

He sighed helplessly and carefully moved her off him.

They finally escaped.

He stood up, stretched his stiff neck, picked up the second-generation Kitetsu that was placed beside him, and walked to the bow of the ship.

A sea breeze blew in my face, carrying a salty, damp scent. The sun had just risen above the horizon, turning the entire sea into a golden-red hue.

Nock took a deep breath and drew his sword.

Practice your sword!

One cut, two cuts, three cuts.

There were no fancy moves, just the most basic Armament Haki wrapping and slashing, but each strike made the surrounding air tremble slightly.

The second-generation Kitetsu felt light yet heavy in his hands, a strange resonance, as if the sword was responding to his will.

The Onikiri series of swords are said to curse their wielder.

But Nock didn't care.

Whether it's a demonic sword or not depends on who's using it.

He practiced for an hour until the sun was fully up.

There was a noise behind me.

"Hmm..."

Yamato woke up.

She sat up, rubbed her eyes, and looked around blankly. When she saw Knok standing at the bow of the ship, she blinked, got up, and walked over.

"Nock, what are you doing?"

"Practicing swordsmanship."

"oh."

She stood there watching for a while, then suddenly yawned and tears welled up in her eyes.

"I drank too much last night, and my head hurts so much."

Nock glanced at her.

"Serves you right."

Yamato chuckled foolishly, not angry at all.

At that moment, Ace's roar came from inside the cabin.

"We're here! The City of Flowers is just ahead!"

Nock sheathed his sword and looked ahead.

As the coastline drew closer, the outline of Wano Country gradually became clear in the morning light.

...

Ship docked.

Hyogoro stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the familiar land, his eyes slightly red.

"I'm back... I'm finally back..."

Ace patted him on the shoulder.

"Grandpa, would you like to come out to sea with us?"

Hyogoro paused for a moment, then shook his head with a smile.

"No, no, I'm too old for that kind of thing."

He looked at the Flower City in the distance, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

"Moreover, Wano Country needs people right now. The people are still being oppressed by Orochi. This old man can do something here."

Nok glanced at him, but didn't bother to explain that he had already sidelined the Serpent.

Ace nodded, not insisting.

"Take care."

Hyogoro looked at Nok and Yamato and bowed deeply.

"My benefactors, until we meet again."

Yamato quickly waved his hand, and Nock nodded.

"Take care of yourself."

Hyogoro jumped off the ship and walked step by step toward the Flower Capital.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly turned around and looked at the three young men on the boat.

Laughed.

Then he turned around and walked away with large, small steps.

......

Not long after, the ship sailed back out to sea.

Ace stood at the bow of the ship, raising his hands high.

"My little ones, let's set sail!"

The crew cheered.

When Yamato left Wano Country for the first time, she lay on the ship's railing with her eyes wide open, looking at the land that was getting farther and farther away, and then at the boundless sea in front of her. Her whole body seemed to be glowing.

"The ocean...this is the ocean!"

Nock leaned against the mast, watching this scene, and smiled softly.
