One Piece: Ascending the Divine Path

In a sea area of ​​the New World, several huge pirate ships sailed through the waves.

Inside the cabin of the large ship in the center, in a luxurious room.

Wang Zhi sat with his legs crossed on the soft sofa. Two scantily clad and beautiful women leaned against him. One gently stroked his chest, while the other brought him a glass of red wine.

Wang Zhi looked to be over sixty years old, with his long hair cascading down his back and turning completely white.

She wasn't obese, but there were several layers of fat piled up on her neck.

He had a long face, a large mouth, and scarlet lips that revealed sharp teeth when he opened and closed his mouth. Combined with his white shirt and black cloak, he had a somewhat vampire-like appearance.

"Has Kaido already left Wano Country?"

As he spoke, Wang Zhi's long, even somewhat sharp tongue darted out of his mouth, looking rather eerie.

"Yes, Captain."

A man stood two meters in front of Wang Zhi and respectfully reported to him, "The latest eyewitness report is that they are already near Barak Island."

"Hmph, this brat who's gotten himself all swayed by a few compliments about being the strongest creature, has he misunderstood something because I haven't made a move in a while?"

Wang Zhi licked his scarlet lips, his tone carrying a hint of contempt from a seasoned veteran, "Fine, this time I'll teach them a lesson they don't have the right to dictate what they want to do on this ocean!"

"Yes! Captain, you are invincible! Kaido is nothing but a chicken and a dog!"

The new world is still too big. Even though there are many monsters living there, they are not adjacent to each other, so conflicts do not happen often.

Therefore, everyone is full of self-confidence.

In another sea area, five huge naval warships cut through the waves.

The naval guerrilla force is rapidly heading towards the target area.

Ship number one is the office of Admiral Zephyr.

"Both Kaido and Wang Zhi have already set out."

Zefa stood in front of a huge sea chart. "A meeting between the two of them is inevitable. They will most likely still fail to reach an agreement, and war is almost a certainty."

He raised his right hand and lightly traced his fingers on the nautical chart, marking each of the two islands along the way. "The trouble is that the Bauhinia Kingdom and the Augusta Kingdom are both in that sea area."

"If they end the war in one go, that would be fine, but if it develops into a protracted war, then those two republics would be in danger."

Ultimately, while Kaido is powerful, Wang Zhi is a legendary pirate who has stood the test of time in the New World for decades.

The two of them have hardly ever fought each other, and now no one can predict how the battle will unfold after it begins.

There is actually a tacit understanding between the great pirates and the government: the great pirates do not attack the member states, and the Navy generally does not cause trouble for these rulers of the New World.

But once Wang Zhi and Kaido get into a heated fight, will they care about anything else?

"Where are we in Gion?"

Zefa turned around.

"Vice Admiral Momousagi has led the fleet from Base G-14."

Standing behind Zephyr, Vice Admiral Simon replied, "They should arrive at that area before us."

"Where's Knight? Is he in time?"

"There shouldn't be any problem; he's only about a day behind us in the flight."

Zefa nodded slightly.

In this way, the Navy can engage in combat with either side of the warring parties in terms of high-level combat power.

Later, in Wano Country, on Onigashima, on a night when the bright moon hangs high in the sky.

In the attic of a certain building.

Clang.

The explosive handcuffs fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

"The day has finally come!"

Yamato excitedly twisted her wrists, her pretty face full of eager anticipation.

"Are you ready?"

Knight floated beside Yamato.

This time, he did not possess anyone's body; he was now in the form of a radiant being enveloped in light.

He injected a portion of his consciousness into Yamato's body, but he did not take control of her body.

Knight merely used this awareness to activate his projection ability, creating illusions and illusory voices to communicate with Yamato.

"Everything was ready long ago!"

Yamato grinned. "Now, no one can stop me!"

"Then let's set off, Yamato."

Knight's figure vanished. "Let's get the Devil Fruit first."

"Leave it to me!"

Yamato leaped directly out of the window and landed on the roof of a building outside. The next instant, she used her legs to propel herself up like a flea, skimming over a hundred meters before gently landing on the roof of another building in the distance.

Soon, Yamato landed directly on a windowsill of the main building.

He turned and entered the room, which was empty. After all, many of his powerful officers had been taken away by Kaido.

Yamato thus calmly invaded the interior of the main building.

Having been constantly running away from Oni Island since he was eight years old, Yamato was already extremely familiar with the island and all the buildings on it. He ran around in the narrow corridor and soon entered the stairwell and went downstairs.

They did encounter patrolling pirates along the way, but before they could even get a clear look at Yamato's face, they were all knocked unconscious by Yamato's Conqueror's Haki.

Yamato continued downhill until he came to a heavy iron gate.

However, here we come to the first enemy that Yamato cannot defeat with Conqueror's Haki.

"Gurgle!!"

A colossal, astonishing giant, wielding a massive spiked club, blocked Yamato's path, emitting strange, inexplicable cries.

This is a green giant with a pair of horns on its head and the character "陆" (land) written on its forehead.

"Six Demons!"

Yamato reached for the spiked club behind his back.

Knight took over Yamato's perspective to observe this behemoth.

The Barbarians are the failed products of ancient giant experiments.

Based on the principle of recycling and reusing waste, the government sold these monsters to the Beast Pirates. It's unclear what they were thinking, considering that these guys are stronger than ordinary giants.

"Gurgle!!"

The tyrant codenamed Six Demons roared at Yamato, meaning she should get lost.

but.

"Don't get in my way!"

Yamato sprang into the air, his hands already drawing his spiked club, black arcs of electricity crackling across its shaft.

"Thunderous Eight Trigrams!"

The iron rod, which was quite small compared to the six demons, slammed down hard on their heads.

The tyrant, who was as big as a small mountain, had his skull dented by the blow, and his massive body was sent flying, crashing headfirst into the iron gate behind him.

Even such a sturdy iron gate could not withstand the pressure and collapsed with a crash, sending the giant flying inside.

"With such a commotion, it should have been discovered by now."

Knight reappeared beside Yamato like a ghost.

"It's okay!"

Yamato chuckled, "Nobody can stop me!"

Indeed, although he hasn't mastered the Overlord's Binding Technique yet, with Kaido's bloodline and Mythical Zoan abilities, Yamato, who is twenty years old this year, is definitely at the level of a Shichibukai.

Laughing, Yamato rushed into the storage room.

This spacious room used to be filled with a large number of weapons, but now it is much emptier.

Having already stolen a Devil Fruit once, Yamato easily found his way to a small room on the side of the storage room, where five boxes were placed.

"Five?"

Knight nodded slightly.

Devil Fruits are quite precious, and Kaido already has a considerable stockpile.

"Hey, Kaido's going to be furious now!"

Yamato grinned and opened all the boxes, stuffing all five small fruits into his sleeves.

"Well then, it's time to go!"

Without any hesitation, Yamato, yearning for freedom, took off running, rushing out of the storage room like a gust of wind and heading up the stairs.

Then, as I rushed out of the stairwell and headed towards the main building's entrance, the person blocking my way reappeared.

"Yamato?"

Still looking sleepy, Jack, carrying two kukri knives, stared in disbelief. "You made that noise? You went to the storeroom?"

Behind him were many pirates, as well as the large-sized beauty Black Maria, who was almost as tall as Jack.

That's why they say women are so meticulous.

Black Maria immediately noticed the crucial detail, and her face paled instantly. "What happened? Where are her handcuffs?"

Handcuffs?

Jack quickly looked down, and sure enough, the handcuffs on Yamato's wrists were gone!

"Yamato!"

Jack's voice suddenly turned grim, "Whatever you want to do, you're not going anywhere right now!"

We need to report this to Boss Kaido immediately!

"I am free!"

Yamato didn't stop for a moment, continuing to launch herself forward. During this process, white hair grew from her body. "No one can stop me!"

Zoan type, Inu Inu no Mi (Dog-Dog Fruit), Mythical Zoan type, Great Mouth God form!

"Stop him!"

Jack roared.

Jack, now in beastman form like a centaur, brandished his twin swords and charged at Yamato.

Behind him was Black Maria, Spider-Man, wielding a giant club.

"Divine speed!"

Yamato stomped the ground with his right foot.

The next instant, she had vanished completely.

"What?"

Jack stared in astonishment.

"White Snake Drive!"

The black iron bar had already smashed into Jack's face.

"Wow!"

Jack only had time to let out a scream before his body was smashed and sent flying, crashing into a group of pirates.

Black Maria paled, but she didn't even have time to scream.

"Sound of an arrow!"

Just as she knocked Jack away, before she even landed, Yamato swung his iron rod at her with all his might.

A sharp vacuum wave, like a spear, pierced Black Maria's waist and abdomen in an instant.

vomit!

Black Maria spat out a mouthful of blood; her stomach was almost pierced through, and she flew farther than Jack.

"Young Master Yamato!"

With the two leaders knocked away, the remaining minions could only scream and become speed bumps, as Dahe's charge sent them flying everywhere.

"Wuhu!"

Yamato cheered and rushed out of the main building's main entrance, leaping into the air like a cannonball and speeding forward, stepping on the rooftops of buildings.

Then, finally, she rushed to the port of Ghost Island, where the sea was right in front of her.

But she didn't stop; she kept moving forward!

She landed on the sea, and the surface beneath her feet instantly froze, turning into a foothold that propelled her forward.

Finally, she broke free of Ghost Island and left the small island that had confined her for more than a decade.

"I'm free!!"

Yamato laughed loudly as he launched himself into the air, waving his hands excitedly in mid-air.

"Let's go."

Knight spoke slowly.

His projection ability activated instantly, and his figure appeared beside Yamato. At the same time, an invisible platform caught Yamato and carried her directly towards the outside of Wano Country.
