I, Uchiha Hikaru, have joined the chat group.

Chapter 283 Oda knows nothing about One Piece

[Oni-hime: Huh? Really?]

The happiest person to see Bulma's news was Yamato.

She's been incredibly bored since returning to the One Piece world. Aside from eating and sleeping, she spends about half her time chatting and joking around in the group chat, and the other half going out to fight Ulti and the others with her spiked club.

Since Kaido and the Three Disasters are not on the island recently, no one on Onigashima can control her, so Yamato is behaving quite recklessly.

If she hadn't been so lacking in common sense and navigation skills, she probably would have tried to build her own boat and go out to sea alone.

So at this time.

Yamato excitedly pulled Bulma aside and asked her all sorts of questions.

Bulma also gave her a very serious explanation.

[Anonymous: ...So, this ship can actually fly like a spaceship?]

[Bulma: It's not that exaggerated. Although I did reference the engine technology of Kami's spaceship and made some modifications, due to the limitations of the spaceship's materials, it can only currently travel stably within the atmosphere. Any higher, and there's a possibility of an accident.]

[Yotsuya Miko: "Traffic accident," does that refer to hitting an asteroid...?]

[Yotsuya Miko: I just searched online, and it seems the atmosphere is at least 2000 kilometers thick, and there's no definite upper limit... Can Bulma's spaceship really reach that altitude?]

[Iron-Headed Kid: Um, how far is 2000 kilometers?]

[Anonymous: Well... the distance from Tokyo to Kyoto is about 300 kilometers. You can do the math.]

[Iron-Headed Kid: ?!]

Once again, Tanjiro, Minato Namikaze, and others from a world with relatively backward technology were shocked by Dragon Ball technology.

Even Hisahito Itadori and Miko, who have a broader perspective, were somewhat speechless.

[Tiger of the West and Middle: If Bulma were in my and Miko's world, she could probably monopolize the Nobel Prize for the next 30 years...]

[Anonymous: I feel that it would be better to establish a "Buma Award".]

After a few jokes...

The conversation in the chat group finally turned to the topic of establishing a pirate crew.

As the "first mate" of the "Dimensional Pirates," Hikaru Uchiha only needs to sit in her room and drink cola, but "Captain" Bulma has many more things to consider.

From the insignia of a pirate crew.

From crew configuration to room arrangements.

Then, the travel route after arriving in the world of One Piece.

All of these require advance planning.

In this regard, Uchiha Hikaru and the others couldn't offer much help either, since their understanding of the pirate world mainly came from the still-unfinished One Piece manga. The only local living there, Yamato, was an older otaku who had never left Onigashima since birth.

[Bulma: Hmm... So where should we go first? How about we check out that "sea restaurant"? I'm quite interested in that blond chef.]

[Anonymous: I don't think it'll work.]

[Anonymous: Because the "Barrack O" is in the East Blue, while Yamato is in the New World, there's a long distance between them. Why not go to the Sabaody Archipelago first? That's where we might encounter the Marines or Celestial Dragons.]

Bulma: Is that so...? Then it seems I'll have to figure out how to get a map of the One Piece world first.

[Tiger of the West: [One Piece World Map.jpg]]

Bulma: ?!

[Tiger of the West: This is a world map I just found online, compiled by someone based on the One Piece manga. While it might not be entirely accurate compared to the real-world One Piece world, it should be fine as a reference.]

Bulma: Thank you so much!

In the wooden room of Genji Heavy Industries.

Uchiha Hikaru pulled his attention away from the group chat, raised his arm and stretched.

She had been thinking about whether she should go to Eiichiro Oda in this world and ask him for a map of the One Piece world.

Since Hisahito Itadori posted one directly, it saved her some trouble—to be honest, she was a little skeptical about the feasibility of this approach. After all, even the original author of *One Piece* might have some differences between the world he envisioned and the actual pirate world, not to mention that the current timeline of the Dragon Clan world is still 2009, and whether the storylines related to Wano Country and Yamato have even been conceived is still unknown.

On the contrary, the world of sorcery is already in 2018.

Although it sounds a bit far-fetched, the One Piece readers over there could probably actually tell Eiichiro Oda, "He knows absolutely nothing about One Piece..."

……

Bulma began seriously preparing for her journey to the pirate world.

These tasks are expected to take several days.

Therefore, Uchiha Hikaru was not in a hurry to meet up with her. Instead, he sorted out the blood samples from the dragon kings and sent one to Dr. Gero and Orochimaru respectively. Then he stayed at Genji Heavy Industries, playing the latest game with Erii and enjoying a few days of leisure.

In this atmosphere.

Time flew by and it was already the second week.

Angers finally arrived in Japan, much to the anticipation of the Snake-Headed Eight Families.

He came alone.

To show respect, Uesugi Koshi personally led a group to the airport to pick him up.

"...Although I had heard about the change of head of the Snake Clan, I never expected that you, old man, would actually reappear after so many years."

"Likewise. After all, you old bastard have been fighting on the front lines of the dragon-slaying cause all along, so how could I fall behind?"

Angers and Uesugi exchanged a few sarcastic remarks before walking together toward the car.

In this process.

Angers noticed Uchiha Hikaru and the others who were following beside him.

"Who are these people?"

"These two are my son, Genjiro, and my daughter, Erii."

Speaking of his two children, Uesugi Koshi beamed with pride: "As for the remaining one... she is the daughter of a late old friend of mine, Kurosawa Aise."

When his "name" was mentioned, Uchiha Hikaru nodded as a greeting.

That's right.

The identity that Uchiha Hikari is currently using is not "White King," but another identity she once used in this world—"Kurosawa Ayase." As Kurosawa Ayase, she is a half-blood who is somewhat distantly related to the Snake-Headed Eight Families, and also has the characteristic of being "frail and sickly."

but……

"I have long admired Principal Angers. I have heard that you are quite accomplished in swordsmanship and have even received the full mastery of the 'Niten Ichi-ryu' school. I also have some experience in swordsmanship. May I ask you for some guidance?" Uchiha Hikaru said calmly.

"Um?"

Angers paused slightly.

He actually knew a little about the existence of Genjiro and Erii.

After all, the former is the young master of the Snake-Headed Eight Families and has made quite a few public appearances over the years, while the latter, although he has been kept in the Genji Heavy Industries, with the intelligence network of the Secret Party, even if they do not know the specific information, they know to some extent that the Snake-Headed Eight Families has such a mysterious person who lives in seclusion and is used as a weapon.

only……

The appearance of Uchiha Hikaru surprised Angers.

After all, Norma's intelligence report didn't mention such a person.

present.

Angers smiled and said with an air of elegance, "So you're Miss Kurosawa. With such a beautiful and lovely appearance, you're also a kendo enthusiast?"

"certainly."

Uchiha Hikaru smiled slightly: "Don't let my appearance fool you, I am actually a master of the 'Niten Ichi-ryu' style, with all my teachings."

This is the truth.

Back when she first arrived in the Dragon Clan world, Uchiha Hikaru had already studied the swordsmanship of this world. With the Sharingan, any school of swordsmanship was no different from 1+1=2 in front of her; she only needed to see it once to learn it, and if that didn't work, she could see it twice.

The Niten Ichi-ryu school gradually declined after its founding by Miyamoto Musashi, but it still has a lineage today. Therefore, her "Menkyo Kaiden" certificate is not fake, but rather something she painstakingly obtained over half an hour.

Angers was unaware of these details.

However, he was actually a very easygoing person and especially enjoyed interacting with young people. After confirming that Uchiha Hikaru wasn't joking, he readily agreed.

"Heh, I didn't expect there to be such an interesting person among the younger generation of the Snake Clan. Since Miss Fuyo has extended such a warm invitation, then I shall gladly accept."

"it is good."

According to the original plan, the Snake Clan intended to spend a day or two hosting a banquet to welcome Angers before discussing serious matters.

However, Uchiha Hikaru's intervention caused them to change their plans at the last minute. After returning to a spacious Japanese manor and enjoying a lunch, Uesugi Kotsu brought up the matter of a "swordsmanship contest".

then.

The group followed the old steward of the manor to the training ground located next to the bamboo forest at the back.

"arrive."

"This is the training ground commonly used by the Snake Clan. Chisei and I usually spar here. The swords on the rack are all crafted by renowned domestic artisans and are of top-notch quality. They should meet your needs."

Uesugi made polite remarks.

During this process, Uchiha Hikaru vaguely sensed a hint of mischief in the old patriarch's gaze as he looked at Angers.

It's just like……

Don't you just want to stir up trouble?

Also.

Uesugi had personally experienced her swordsmanship. Even disregarding the advantage of being known as the "White King," her swordsmanship was exceptionally refined. Although Angers possessed decent swordsmanship, the possibility of him defeating her was zero. Even considering the factor of "time zero," the result would be the same.

Thinking about this, Uesugi Kotsushi even felt a little amused, and couldn't wait to see his old friend make a fool of himself.

Angers naturally noticed his expression as well, and frowned slightly in confusion: "What's with that blissful expression? Are you hiding something from me?"
