I, Uchiha Hikaru, have joined the chat group.

Chapter 340 "The Blue Witch", Bounty 40 billion!

After receiving the information from Ms. Tamayo.

Uchiha Hikaru returned to Amazon Lily first, spoke with Bulma, and then temporarily left the One Piece world to come to West Capital in the Dragon Ball world.

Here, Dr. Brief warmly welcomed her:

"It's Hikaru, it's been so long since I've seen you... Is this Ms. Tamayo's latest research result?"

"Hmm... This is a very good idea, and it coincides with my previous thoughts. If all these experimental data are accurate, then I think the 'S cell' can be identified very soon."

"yes……"

In contrast to Dr. Brief's excitement, Uchiha Hikaru was somewhat uneasy.

To be honest, she was a little worried about this.

And this concern has been around for a long time—

"S-cells" are involved in the secrets of Super Saiyans. If Dr. Gero knew all this, it's hard to say whether he would use these cells on himself, transforming himself into "Android 20" as in the original story, thereby breaking through the "Eight Thousand Spears" and "Kotoamatsukami" left behind by Uchiha Hikaru, and once again becoming that treacherous villainous boss.

Regarding this possibility...

Uchiha Hikaru made two preparations.

Firstly, after the research results are published, closely monitor Dr. Gro's movements and kill him the moment he shows signs of losing control.

Secondly...

"It's simple, I'll just become a Super Saiyan!"

Previously, Uchiha Hikaru had visited Kami and Mr. Popo, and obtained from the latter the spaceship Kami used when he came to Earth years ago.

Now, the spaceship has been in Dr. Brief's laboratory for more than half a year, and most of its functions have been restored. Theoretically, it can take off again and head to Namek.

The Namekian dragon Porunga's three wishes.

In addition, there are the research findings of Dr. Brief and Buma on the "S" cell.

In theory...

It is possible to artificially create a Super Saiyan.

—There might be more than one. Because Goku could theoretically be artificially created into a Super Saiyan, and it might be easier for him than for anyone else, since he was originally the first Super Saiyan of this era.

only……

Little Wukong is only a teenager. If this were done, it wouldn't just be a case of "pulling up seedlings to help them grow," it would probably uproot them...

"...In short, that's the situation."

"Perhaps I'm overthinking it, but in the future I foresee, Dr. Gro has indeed caused considerable damage to this world. I urge you, Doctor, to keep a close eye on his movements, and please inform me immediately if anything unusual happens."

Hikaru Uchiha gave Dr. Brief some instructions.

Later, she repeated the same words to Yu Xingji at the Red Silk Army base.

Having watched the entire Dragon Ball series, Yukichi knew all about these things and readily agreed after a brief thought.

The two follow-up moves were thus laid out.

Uchiha Hikaru breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Only then did I begin to listen to Dr. Gro's report on recent work progress, while also taking a moment to pay attention to what was happening in the chat group—

……

[Bulma @ Anonymous: Hikari, Hikari, look! Our bounty has gone up again!]

Bulma: [Wanted Poster.jpg]

[Anonymous: ...So what's the reason this time?]

Bulma: Maybe it's a black beard...

In the original One Piece timeline, Blackbeard broke into Impel Down to recruit crew members.

After defeating Warden Magellan and recruiting Shiryu of the Rain and others, he essentially broke ties with the World Government. His subsequent appearance at Marineford, where he snatched the Tremor-Tremor Fruit from Whitebeard in front of the three Admirals, further signified a formal break between the two sides.

But now...

Because of Hikaru Uchiha's intervention, Blackbeard did not successfully reach Impel Down.

Therefore, he was defeated as a "Shichibukai".

This gives the incident another perspective:

—The Dimensional Pirates ambush the current Shichibukai!

Although defeating a mere Shichibukai is nothing compared to defeating a Marine Admiral, plundering the "Heavenly Gold," and smashing the gates of Mary Geoise—even the Straw Hat crew has done that—this incident still caused quite a stir.

Hancock has already received an inquiry call from Navy Headquarters.

After all, the person disappeared in the Calm Zone, and as one of the very few countries built within the Calm Zone, Amazon Lily is the most likely to know the relevant information.

Of course, Hancock had no intention of betraying Uchiha Hikaru and his group. After giving a few perfunctory replies, she simply hung up the phone.

As for Uchiha Hikaru and the others...

The most direct impact of this incident on them was that it added an extra sum to their already high bounty.

just now.

Bulma, the "Blue Witch," has a bounty of 39 billion, which is less than 9400 million less than Shanks, who has the lowest bounty among the current Four Emperors.

The bounty for "Light Witch" Uchiha Hikari is 35 billion.

Next is the "Ice Queen" with 30 billion.

And there's also the 10 billion yen for "Inukihime"...

Hmm...that's right.

The last one refers to Yamato.

Although the World Government concealed the theft of the "Celestial Gold," preventing a corresponding boost to Yamato's reputation, the World Government still recognized her near-Emperor level strength and appointed her as a Yonko vice-captain in terms of bounty rewards.

Yamato was overjoyed for several days because of this.

[Nameless: I understand the logic, but... Yamato, don't you think the name "Inukihime" is a bit too awful?]

[Oni-hime: Hmm... It's okay, my name in the group is "Oni-hime," and I ate the Inu Inu no Mi (Dog-Inu Fruit), so the name is quite fitting. It's just that my bounty is 500 million less than Jack's, which is really baffling... Why is his bounty higher than mine?]

【nameless:……】

Fine.

Uchiha Hikaru originally planned to tag Namikaze Minato and give Yamato a more chuunibyou-esque nickname, but since the latter himself didn't think there was a problem, he gave up on that idea.

By the way...

Aside from the main crew members, Brand and the others also had bounties on their heads, though the bounty amounts were rather inconsistent.

For example, Naruto, as a key figure in the "Celestial Dragons Incident," was given a bounty of 100 million rupees despite being only seven years old; while Brand, who participated in the "Heavenly Gold Robbery Operation" and is now starting a revolution, only received 60 million rupees.

However, this is actually a good thing.

The later the World Government notices what Brand has done, the better.
