Simultaneous Transmigration: Why is it all One Piece world?

"That's all the information we got from Quinn."

In the mysterious space, swordsman Nok, who had spent his spare time memorizing and sharing all of Quinn's information, spoke to the future Nok whose eyes were growing brighter.

Although Quinn was a madman, his research was indeed unique. Of course, the most valuable information was the scraps of Vegapunk's research, which even surprised Nok in the future.

Nock seemed very excited: "I was already a rising star in the research institute, and now with these achievements, I am more than qualified to become a senior researcher. In fact, to protect my safety from assassination, the institute has even arranged a pretty good Devil Fruit for me!"

"Guess what it is?"

Navy Knock seemed somewhat surprised.

"Let's guess! We'll guess it's a Logia-type Devil Fruit—the Cloud-Cloud Fruit!"

"Answer... Huh? You got it right! How did you know?"

"You idiot, we can share memories!"

"Eh~!!!"

Future Knok's eyes widened, filled with clarity.

"I think you've gone crazy from studying too much."

"Seriously, you really shouldn't touch studying; it'll make you stupid!"

"How could this happen..." Future Nok looked utterly devastated, squatting down and drawing circles on the spot.

"Alright, that's settled then. Let's look forward to the arrival of the Devil Fruit powers."

That's what the Nocs said.

The sea was magnificent and turbulent after that, but it became a little boring after a while.

So, amidst the swordsman Noc's boring voyage of diligently practicing his sword, teasing Ace when necessary, and disciplining Yamato when nothing else, let's shift our focus and look at the development trajectories of other Nocs.

...

Fishman Island.

In the deep sea, two figures crossed paths like torpedoes.

boom--!

The seawater exploded, and the shockwave spread in all directions, startling schools of fish in the distance into a frenzy. Deep cracks were left on the coral reef, and silt surged up, almost obscuring the view.

Nock was thrown backward, tumbling several times in the water before regaining his balance.

Beside him, traces of blood seeped into the seawater, but his eyes shone with an astonishing light.

"Again!"

With a powerful push of his legs, he charged toward the tall figure once more.

Jinbe looked at the boy rushing towards him, a complex expression flashing in his eyes.

More than half a year ago, this kid was just a physically fit merman hoodlum, but now...

He raised his hand and thrust out a palm strike.

Fishman Karate: Samewa Straight Fist!

The seawater was compressed, forming a shock wave that was visible to the naked eye.

Nock did not dodge.

He threw the same punch—the same Shark's Straight Punch!

The two forces collided in mid-air, causing the seawater to explode and forming a huge cavity.

Nock was knocked back again, but this time, he only retreated five meters.

Jinbe stood still, motionless.

But the way he looked at Nok was completely different now.

"Good lad." He spoke, his voice resonating deep in the seawater, "That punch had seven-tenths of my strength in it."

Nock wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and grinned.

"Only seven points?"

"Don't be ungrateful." Jinbe rarely showed a smile. "How long have you been training? Half a year?"

He swam over and looked Knok up and down.

Over the past six months, he has watched this young man grow stronger step by step. From the most basic stance training to sense the ocean, to throwing his first push palm, and now to the Shark's True Fist, every step he has taken has been solid and incredibly fast!

Sixteen years old.

Only sixteen years old!

Jinbe recalled that when he was sixteen, he was still fighting for territory in Fishman Town, and he hadn't even gotten to the basics of karate.

This kind of genius is definitely the future leader of Fishman Island!

"Jinbe, come again!" Nok struck a pose once more.

Jinbe shook his head.

"That's enough. If you keep hitting me, you won't be able to lift your arm tomorrow."

He turned and swam toward the top of the coral reef.

Nock followed behind, shaking his numb arm.

It is indeed a bit sour.

Beside him, Ah Long watched this scene quietly, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

Six months ago, Nok was only a little bit stronger than him. Back then, it was Nok who thought the kid was interesting and introduced him to Jinbe.

What now?

He watched the scene of Nok sparring with Jinbe, that Shark's straight punch, that impact, that momentum.

They have already far surpassed themselves.

Ah Long clenched his fist, a mix of emotions swirling within him. Envy? Jealousy? Or... relief?

He seemed to still have some recollection of what Nock looked like a few years ago in Fishman Street: thin and silent.

But now, he has even become Jinbe's personally recognized successor.

"Ah Long, what are you standing there for? Let's go."

Nock turned around and called to him.

Ah Long snapped out of his daze, twitched the corner of his mouth, and followed.

Forget it.

Envy is useless.

They relied on themselves.

......

The three left the training area, walked through the bustling streets of Fishman Island, and arrived at a lively area.

Coral Hill.

This is one of the most bustling commercial streets on Fishman Island, lined with shops on both sides, and the colorful coral buildings shimmer under the lights.

What's most special is that this area is created using a special coating technology, providing a land area for people who need to move around on land.

Of course, the mermaids who haven't yet grown legs mainly move using a special kind of bubble that can envelop their bodies, allowing them to "swim" on land.

The three of them entered a bar called "Exhilarating".

Pushing open the door, a scent mingled with the aroma of alcohol and the sea wafted out. The bar was quite crowded, with both fish-men and humans.

"Welcome...?"

A young woman's voice rang out, then stopped.

Nock looked up and saw a girl standing behind the counter.

She has short black hair that covers her right cheek, cold blue eyes, and a voluptuous figure that doesn't look like she's fourteen at all. The front half of her tail is dark blue, and the back half is white. She also has a dorsal fin on her lower back, and her tail fin is crescent-shaped.

A classic little mermaid beauty.

Shirley.

Ah Long's half-sister was abandoned by her father at the age of 3 and went to Fishman Street, where she grew up with Evil Dragon.

"Brother, Jinbe, and..." Shirley's gaze fell on Nok, a strange light flashing in her eyes, "Nok."

Nock nodded.

"A glass of juice, please."

"What kind of minor drinks juice and alcohol!" Ah Long slapped him on the back.

Before Nock could say anything, Shirley was the first to object.

"Brother, Nok is still developing, unlike you! Go away, you can drink it yourself, don't set a bad example for Nok!"

Jinbe watched the two bickering with a smile, then walked to the bar and sat down.

"Shirley, the usual."

Upon hearing Jinbe's words, Shirley stopped scolding Arlong, poured Jinbe a glass of wine, and Nok a glass of specialty juice.

Nock looked at the girl in front of him, smiled, and said, "Thank you."

Shirley returned the smile.

"And there's mine too, Shirley!"

After glancing at Ah Long and letting out a cold snort, Xia Li handed him the drink.

Then, Shirley's gaze drifted toward Nock.

This boy... is different from how he was three months ago.

Three months ago, when Nok first came to the store, she only glanced at him casually, but at that moment, her divination ability suddenly activated. This was her innate talent, allowing her to see fragments of the future.

And what did she see?

Nok stood in the true sunlight, surrounded by countless fishmen. He was no longer the naive young man he once was, but a domineering... overlord? leader? She couldn't tell.

But she knew that Nok's widely circulated and ridiculed statement—that he would bring the fishmen to the surface and let them live with dignity—was no exaggeration!

it is true.

Shirley looked away and began mixing drinks.

However, the current Nokia...

She secretly glanced at it again.

Even though he's two years older than me, the boyish air he still has contrasts sharply with his future domineering presence...

On the contrary, it's kind of cute, how so?

She smiled slightly, without letting anyone see it.

......

As the group drank and chatted, a commotion suddenly broke out outside.

Jinbe put down his wine glass and frowned.

"What's going on outside?"

A beautiful older woman, a mermaid waitress who was much older than Xia Li, peeked over and then turned around to say something.

"It seems that Queen Otohime is again pushing for a petition to relocate to the mainland in the plaza. However..." she paused, "...it seems that not many people agree."

The three exchanged a glance.

Jinbe stood up.

"Let's go take a look."

Aaron and Nock followed.

Shirley's eyes flickered, and she casually tossed the tray to the mermaid waiter who had spoken earlier, then excused herself and followed him.
