Starting with the Uchiha clan, they began cultivating demonic arts.

Chapter 340 The Great Kingdom

After Dragon's Devil Fruit ability was restricted, there's not much to say about the subsequent battles.

Dragon's fighting style is similar to that of the three Marine Admirals. At most, he might be slightly better than them in terms of the three types of Haki. Even so, his Devil Fruit ability accounts for half of his strength.

After his Devil Fruit powers were restricted, and faced with the siege of so many powerful individuals, this guy quickly met his demise in the northwest.

Although Dragon had prepared a Den Den Mushi before his death and issued a message of silence to all high-ranking officials—if he could return victorious and successfully make the rescue, he would naturally lift the silence on the Revolutionary Army's high-ranking officials—if he did not return, the Revolutionary Army should already know what was going on.

However, Dragon's plan can only be described as doing his best and leaving the rest to fate. Even if the higher-ups remained silent, the ordinary revolutionaries had nowhere to hide. With Belo Betty, who had the closest connection with the lower-level revolutionaries, most of the lower-level revolutionaries were eventually exposed.

Most of the lower-ranking revolutionaries don't actually have the same foresight as the higher-ups. So, aside from a few who genuinely have a grudge against the World Government, the vast majority of the lower-ranking revolutionaries are ultimately just disbanded.

Given the environment of the One Piece world, once the Revolutionary Army is disbanded, it is almost impossible for them to regroup. Without the lower-level Revolutionary Army, and with only a few high-ranking members hiding in the shadows, it is virtually impossible for them to raise such a large army again.

The main reason is that the current situation is completely different from before. As the World Government gradually flattens other countries, people in the land under the World Government's rule, although there is little possibility of advancement, will basically not starve. This technological reform and the benefits brought by the death of the upper-class Celestial Dragons can at least maintain this situation for several decades.

As for what will happen decades from now, Uchiha Touyu has not even considered it. Maybe by then the pirate world will have already entered the space age!

With the comical moon-landing technology of the One Piece world (in the cover story, a little robot uses a balloon to land on the moon), plus the spaceship technology passed down from the Dragon Ball world, who knows, the One Piece planet might one day usher in a great era of space travel and hunt the entire universe.

With the disappearance of the Revolutionary Army and the addition of Belo Betty, a user of the Encouragement Fruit, the collapse of other countries in the One Piece world accelerated rapidly, like a snowball rolling downhill. Ultimately, the speed at which the army conquered these countries depended almost entirely on the speed of its advance.

In about six months, the World Government had occupied most of the islands in the One Piece world, and there were no longer any countries in the world, only the World Government.

In addition, Uchiha Tou's Pure Land of Elysium has also made a fortune in just six months, not only expanding globally but also absorbing nearly 100 million souls.

In other words, Uchiha Touyu has now reached a bottleneck, and he dares not continue to forge the Netherworld White Bone Banner, which is already showing signs of backlash. Otherwise, the hundreds of millions of souls could allow him to soar to the heavens, and even if he entered the realm of immortals, he could advance several steps further.

After connecting most of the countries in the One Piece world through the Elysium, Uchiha Touyu in the One Piece world had nothing left to do. Just as he was preparing to indulge in debauchery, Lilith came knocking on his door.

"My lord, my lord! Look what we've found!"

The "evil" Vegapunk, his face beaming with delight, rushed to Uchiha Tou's side, waving the report in his hand.

"What is this? Why do you seem even more excited than when you discovered aliens on the moon last time?"

Uchiha Touyu said, somewhat bewildered, that there were remnants of a prehistoric civilization on the moon. He remembered that in the cover story, there was even a space pirate crew from outer space. So, after receiving news from Uchiha Touyu, Lilith actually captured quite a few aliens.

However, the alien technology... well, it's only slightly better than that of the pirate planet. The reason they can fly in space is simply because the space environment of the pirate world is somewhat special—if hydrogen balloons can land on the moon, how could the environment not be special?

Traveling to other planets via alien spaceships is not impossible, but it would take seven or eight years! By the way, the universe in the One Piece world has an atmosphere, which is why the technology of alien spaceships is not very advanced.

The main reason is that scientists originally didn't focus their attention on the universe and the stars, but rather on the strange weather of the ocean and pirate planets, which is why no one developed spaceships.

"What are aliens? They can't solve anything. The real problems on our planet right now can't be solved by interstellar migration using spaceships; it's barely faster than ants moving a mountain!"

Lilith shook her head, and said excitedly:

"But if this succeeds, the habitable area of ​​the entire pirate planet will likely expand dozens of times!"

"Oh?"

Uchiha Tou became interested. Expanding the living area dozens of times meant that the population of the One Piece world could also expand dozens of times! What does that mean? It means that the One Piece world would have a population of one or two hundred billion!

Such a large population also represents an astronomical number of souls, which is equivalent to Uchiha Touyu's harvest of leeks, which has also increased dozens of times. It would be strange if he wasn't interested!

With a quick thought, Uchiha Touyu remembered the method Lilith had mentioned that could expand the planet's habitation area by dozens of times:

"You're not going to tell me you've found a way to lower sea levels on this planet, are you?!"

"Huh!? How did you know?"

Lilith paused for a moment and asked, of course Uchiha Touyu wouldn't tell her that he saw it in the manga—originally, the huge kingdom in the pirate world was land below sea level. The war 800 years ago caused the sea level to rise by 200 meters, so the islands where everyone lives now were actually at least small hills 800 years ago.

Naturally, a hillside at an altitude of 200 meters or more would be considered quite good if it covered an area that is only a fraction of the land area. Therefore, if the sea level dropped by 200 meters, the living space for humans would indeed increase several dozen times.

Well, Oda's explanation has been speculated on by many people on the forum before, but there are many flaws - ancient history only disappeared for 100 years, it doesn't mean that all the history before 800 years ago is gone. Logically speaking, such a big geographical change should have been mentioned in history books from 900 years ago!

Regardless of how many bugs there are, the world we live in now is indeed a world that has been submerged by seawater. After the seawater recedes, there will indeed be a lot of land that can be used for survival. If it were Earth, the seabed would have been turned into a salt flat long ago! How could it possibly recover in less than seventy or eighty years?

Fortunately, the world of One Piece doesn't care about these things. Although seawater can't quench thirst and most plants can't be irrigated with seawater, land that has been soaked by seawater can recover to normal within a few months once the seawater recedes.

This "common sense" was something Nico Robin once introduced to Uchiha Tou, which gave him a real eye-opener at the time. Now that he thinks about it, it was probably just a patch added for the sake of plot development!

Otherwise, even if the giant kingdom reappears and the land is connected when One Piece ends, what's the point? Land that can't be cultivated is worse than the ocean! At least you can grow some seaweed and farm some seafood!

"Just as I expected, have you perhaps discovered some method to lower sea levels?"

Uchiha Tou asked in confusion, but Lilith immediately shook her head vigorously:

"How is that possible? Destruction is easy, construction is hard. With our planet's current industrial level, even if we had that kind of technology, it would be difficult to meet the world's needs for lowering sea levels!"

"Unless we drain that excess seawater... that would be even more troublesome. Who knows what kind of problems would occur if the planet lost so much mass?"

Although Uchiha Tou felt that, given the almost comical rules of the One Piece world, even if a large amount of seawater quality was lost, nothing would necessarily happen and everyone would be fine, he couldn't afford to gamble on such an important matter.

"If you haven't achieved any results, then why are you telling me all this?"

"Well, it's not that we didn't achieve anything! We just discovered some clues that could cause the sea level to drop."

"Oh?"

Uchiha Tou crossed his arms and rested his chin on them, striking a pose reminiscent of Commander Ikari's classic pose:

"Then tell me, what exactly did you find?"

However, in private, Uchiha Tou knew very well that Vegapunk had already begun secretly researching the lost history of the 100 years. If anything, he should have made some discoveries long ago. He had remained silent before, probably because he was hesitant about whether or not to give him this information.

As for now, his monopolistic rule is almost fully formed, and Vegapunk has no choice but to rely on himself.

Of course, this was probably partly due to Robin's influence; otherwise, Vegapunk might have kept this so-called secret for life, just like he did with the original World Government.

Well, if he had dared to report to the original World Government, he would probably be dead by now.

"Well... basically, the main body found something in the literature. Here's the report."

Lilith pushed the report to Uchiha Touyu, who only glanced at it before feeling a headache coming on—he had memorized a huge amount of messy data, formulas, and explanations while exchanging technology between different worlds, so he still suffered from headaches whenever he saw such things.

"Alright, alright, take this thing back. Just tell me the results! I don't want to see any more research reports!"

"Well... the conclusion is that we have to find Laugh Tale to control the global drop in sea levels!"

Lilith shrugged and began to speak.

"It's an answer that's exactly what I expected... But how did you arrive at this conclusion through your research?" Uchiha Tou had already anticipated this, so the answer was not surprising at all.

"That's a result that the entity derived from past literature. It calculated the possibility of a drop in global sea level, then compared it with all the literature and determined that Laugh Tale was the most likely place."

"So, if we want to lower sea levels, we still need to find the great treasure!"

Uchiha Touyu sighed:

"Luckily, I was prepared and didn't kill Luffy, otherwise I'd be completely lost right now!"

If we're talking about finding the One Piece, then of course we have to rely on Luffy. Anyway, with Uchiha Tou's current strength, he's practically capable of destroying pirate planets, yet he still hasn't found a single hair on Laugh Tale. It's clear he's not cut out to be the Pirate King.

Perhaps the Nika Fruit is the key to finding Laugh Tale. If Luffy had extracted the Nika Fruit, he would have found Laugh Tale by now. But this is just speculation. Uchiha Touyu chose to play it safe and didn't extract Luffy's fruit.

However, Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji had already been developed into vampire servants by Uchiha Touu a long time ago. Although Uchiha Touu later digested the power of the vampire fruit, the separated familiars did not lose this vampire power. In fact, they made up for the defect of not being able to see sunlight and became more perfect and powerful.

It can be said that Luffy and his two companions benefited quite a bit. During this time, Uchiha Touya didn't make the three of them do anything, just let them wander around the New World. However, he didn't send anyone to help them find Laugh Tale—because he couldn't find anyone to translate the Red Poneglyphs. So the three of them were basically wandering around the New World like headless flies.

Due to the sea conditions in the New World, even though the Four Emperors' pirate crews have already been defeated, there are still many pirates running rampant. As a result, many pirate crews that have emerged recently have been defeated by the Straw Hat Pirates, which has helped stabilize the New World.

In addition, Uchiha Touyu also passed on the Human Immortal Martial Arts and the Visualization Technique to the Straw Hat Pirates. Their talent was already very high, and now they have almost the strength of the top leaders of the Four Emperors' crews.

With this strength, if Uchiha Touyu further enhances them with his Double-Edged Sword and translates the Red Poneglyphs for them, it wouldn't be too difficult for the Straw Hat Pirates to find Laugh Tale.

Lilith didn't know why she needed to find Laugh Tale or what the Straw Hat Pirates were for. Anyway, she had given the information to Uchiha Touyu, and how to find Laugh Tale was up to Uchiha Touyu himself.

Licking her tongue, Lilith put down the report, snuggled into Uchiha Tou's arms, and said with a grin:

"By the way, I brought you such great news, is there any reward?"

Uchiha Touyu looked at Lilith, whose face was flushed, and grabbed her enormous, wicked...

"You want payment so soon? You little glutton!"
