Both start in hell: but their talents are multiplied a hundredfold.

Support warships cut through the waves and moved forward.

Shen Jue stood at the forefront of the support warship with Chopper.

On the chaotic seas, even as pirates ravage various countries and rebels and ambitious individuals rise up, the people of Wano Country can be said to be living in dire straits.

The people of this country are ruled by the treacherous and despicable Kurozumi Orochi, the owner of the Snake-Snake Fruit, Mythical Zoan type, Yamata no Orochi form.

Twenty years ago, Kurozumi Orochi, together with Kaido, killed Kozuki Oden and completely seized Wano Country, which produced many famous Great Grade Swords and Supreme Grade Swords.

Kaido, being a pirate, didn't know how to govern a country, so he handed over the rule of Wano Country to Kurozumi Orochi, while he himself nominally served as the Protector King of the Country.

However, the arrogant, extravagant, and cowardly Kurozumi Orochi transformed the once prosperous and wealthy Wano Country into a wasteland where people were starving and suffering abuse.

This is also why Shen Jue went to Wano Country first, rather than Whole Cake Island under Big Mom's crew.

For Shen Jue, while overthrowing the World Government's rule was extremely important, rulers like Kurozumi Orochi, who were not human, deserved to be torn to pieces to vent his hatred.

In front of Shen Jue and the others was the natural barrier of Wano Country.

The waters near Wano Country are full of whirlpools, so Shen Jue wasn't worried that the warship wouldn't be able to pass through. However, in order to save time, he still adopted the most time-saving and labor-saving approach.

Wearing the new Navy Admiral's coat, Shen Jue lifted the entire support warship with one hand amidst the exclamations of many new Navy personnel, and sped towards Wano Country step by step.

The Phantom Breath Technique: Gravity Manipulation makes the support warships feel as light as a feather.

For Shen Jue, this ability was even enough to allow him to imitate Superman's bio-force field, providing ample justification for his various unreasonable performances.

For example, if Shen Jue were to lift a warship with one hand or support a collapsing building in the future, he could use a bio-force field, like DC Superman, to find enough patches and reasons to explain the unreasonable physical manifestations.

Shen Jue must land in Wano Country and find Kaido, the world's top mentor and strongest creature, before news of Drought Jack's death and disappearance reaches Onigashima.

After all, Shen Jue was also curious whether his Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Beast, Pure Origin Mystic True Monarch form, would awaken a second time if he took a Thunderous Eight Trigrams Strike with his head.

Thinking about it this way, Shen Jue was actually looking forward to meeting Kaido.

Shen Jue's younger brother, Luffy, and Sabo are still wandering the seas.

Wherever the two little ones went, as long as they mentioned their elder brother Shen Jue's name, they would be warmly received by the local people and powerful figures.

This also caused the two little ones' journey to progress very slowly.

As for Ace, after eating the Flame-Flame Fruit, which even dogs wouldn't eat, he officially became the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates.

He is currently traveling around the seas with his good brother, Blackbeard, son of Rocks.

Shen Jue gently tossed the support warship, and under the effect of the Phantom Breath Technique: Gravity Control, the support warship slowly landed on the shore like a floating dandelion.

There was no dock on the shore, only mudflats.

Dark red mud seeped into the boots of the new sailors as they disembarked, like stepping on a blood-soaked sponge.

Shen Jue set foot on the land of Wano Country.

The first thing you see is desolation.

Kaido's factories have severely polluted the land of Wano Country.

This has resulted in many villagers in Wano Country not being able to obtain enough food.

Hunger and poverty became the main themes of Wano Country.

Shen Jue strolled through the sky.

The Wano Country beneath his feet resembled a starved corpse, shriveled, grayish-white, and devoid of any vitality.

There were no crops in the fields.

The soil was turned up three feet deep. People ate all the grass roots, tree bark, and insects, and finally they started eating the soil.

Guanyin clay is white; if you eat it, you won't be able to digest it, and your stomach will grow bigger every day until you die from bloating.

A girl in a kimono squatted on the edge of a paddy field, a happy smile on her face, searching for possible food.

Her belly was swollen like a ball, and her arms were as thin as firewood.

Her younger brother lay beside her, covered with a tattered mat, already dead.

The girl was trembling all over, waiting for the boy to wake up.

"I'll find food, little brother," she said. "Sleep a little longer and then get up for breakfast."

Shen Jue remained in the sky, intently watching this scene.

He saw the village in the distance.

The village, now in ruins, still hints at its former prosperity.

But even so, the village is like a skeleton stripped bare.

The house was demolished and used as firewood; the thatch was pulled up and boiled.

In the center of the village, there was a pot with a few pieces of tree bark boiling inside, but there was no fire underneath.

There wasn't a single piece of firewood left in the entire village.

Dozens of people sat around the pot, not speaking, not moving, but laughing happily.

That's a side effect of eating the SMILE fruit; people can only laugh heartily.

In order to maintain the happiness and stability of Wano Country, Orochi mixed defective SMILE fruits with side effects into the food and distributed them to the people of Wano Country.

In that case, the people of Wano Country will continue to laugh happily.

Even when extremely hungry and in pain.

Behind the village was a row of new graves, knee-high, all of which were for children.

There were indeed remains in the grave; it was not an empty grave.

Shen Jue closed her eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, he was very angry.

"Kaido, Orochi."

"In just twenty years, you have turned a country into this."

"It's better to exterminate vicious pirates and foolish rulers."

If Wano Country were in any other ancient world, it would have long been a place where people exchanged children for food, and rebel armies and insurgents rose up everywhere.

But in the world of One Piece, a world of passion and cruelty, the powerless masses maintain the last shred of humanity, accepting the absolute exploitation of the strong.

In this world, power is the reason for being a king and a ruler.

Shen Jue already knew this, which is why he had been pursuing power from the very beginning.

In Shen Jue's view, only powerful justice is true justice.

Powerless slogans will only be ridiculed and mocked in this world.

In the original storyline of One Piece, without the appearance of the main characters, the cruelty of this world would be comparable to some of the most chaotic and disorderly periods in human history.

As Shen Jue continued walking, pondering the current state of the One Piece world.

On the distant mountain ridge, a dark shadow soared into the sky.

That thing treated the sky as a wall and smashed right through it.

A huge hole was torn in the clouds, and intense air pressure poured out of it!

Dragon.

A green dragon.

From beginning to end, the dragon's body, thousands of meters long, coiled in the sky, each of its blue scales larger than the deck of a warship, gleaming with a cold, iron-like light.

That's Kaido of the Beasts.

The owner of the Zoan type, Fish-Fish Fruit, Mythical Zoan type, Azure Dragon form.

The Azure Dragon Fruit, a unique Mythical Zoan fruit found nowhere else in this vast ocean, was one of the prizes of the Battle of God Valley. It is one of the most powerful fruits in this ocean.

But the azure dragon swayed and twisted in the sky.

Kaido was clearly drunk.

Shen Jue revealed a sinister smile, and he unleashed a terrifying aura!

Its imposing presence crushes the clouds, like a storm sweeping across the sky!

Shen Jue! He was furious!
