The world I hear is completely different from yours.

Tian Qing once again raised his estimate of the number of experts. Perhaps even if all seven warlords of the sea gathered together, along with the three admirals of the navy, they could drive away such a monster? As for killing it, that was simply impossible.

The minotaur strode towards the town, the ground trembling with each step. As the sun set, it cast a colossal shadow that slowly enveloped the entire city.

The city seemed swallowed by darkness, shrouded in gloom. People fell silent, an invisible fear weighing on everyone's hearts. Even the usually lively reporters remained silent. In this still atmosphere, people could only hear their own heartbeats. Looking up, the colossal beast, as tall as a 200-story building, seemed like a mountain, pressing down heavily upon them.

Then the Navy's trump card was revealed.

A booming voice echoed from high above: "EVA Unit-01 reporting for duty!!"

Tian Qing looked completely bewildered: "......Eh?"

The bright and passionate voice shattered the darkness like lightning. A machine descended from the sky and kicked the monster hard, making it stagger. This Unit-01 actually had a similar size and strength to the monster.

Tian Qing was speechless: "Isn't Unit-01 officially set to be less than 100 meters tall? Why is Unit-01 in One Piece 500 meters tall? And why is EVA in One Piece?"

The darkness that had enveloped the city vanished instantly, and sunlight and hope filled everyone's hearts once more. Cheers erupted: "It's the World Government's elite EVA force! We're saved!!" A well-prepared reporter quickly explained to the camera: "Ladies and gentlemen, it's the EVA force. Judging by the model, it should be EVA Unit-01 piloted by ace pilot Luffy!!"

Tian Qing was utterly exasperated, a thousand curses running through his mind: "Pilot Luffy? Isn't he the pirate captain? Why didn't he become the Pirate King and instead pilot an EVA? What on earth did the previous transmigrator do? What's going on with this One Piece world?"

On the battlefield, two colossal structures, each 500 meters tall, clashed, while the people in the city were like grains of sand at the feet of an adult man, able to do nothing but pray for their side's victory.

PS: This is the first update. Just to clarify, my One Piece world is completely different from everyone else's. Readers who want to follow the original storyline with Luffy will probably be disappointed.

Chapter 5: A Glimpse into the Collapsed Pirate World *Battle

The Minotaur launched the first attack, raising its fist and charging towards Unit-01. Having just transitioned from a marine creature to a terrestrial one, it clearly didn't know how to use other attack methods and only knew how to raise its fist and punch wildly.

For other powerful humans, the Minotaur's attack method is perfectly acceptable. Its massive size gives it an absolute advantage in combat. Even without any combat skills, its powerful and pure strength is enough to crush everything. However, for EVA, who is of similar size, its current attack moves are as childish as a toddler who has just learned to walk.

This was especially true for a seasoned pilot like Luffy. The first unit deftly dodged the Minotaur's wild punches, sidestepped, slid to the Minotaur's left side, and then delivered a beautiful uppercut – a true display of martial arts prowess!

"Boom!!!" A heavy punch slammed into the Minotaur's left abdomen. At the same time, Luffy pressed a button, and more than a dozen lasers shot out from the weapon port installed on the EVA fist. This was a laser weapon made by the World Government's scientists, imitating Admiral Kizaru's Laser-Laser Fruit ability. It was impossible to penetrate the Minotaur's carapace from a distance, but at point-blank range, the lasers finally pierced through the carapace and penetrated into the Minotaur's interior, beginning to wreak havoc on its soft internal organs and muscles.

The minotaur was knocked off its balance by the heavy punch, staggering back a few steps before realizing the abnormality in its abdomen. The intense pain that followed caused it to convulse and become unable to move. This minotaur had far too little combat experience, and even its pain tolerance was exceptionally low. Such a small injury had rendered it unable to move and retaliate.

Seeing that he had succeeded with one move, Luffy became even more emboldened. Unit-01 charged forward and landed another hook punch on the Minotaur. Then, taking advantage of the Minotaur's momentary lapse in attention, he struck the Minotaur's injured left abdomen once more. This time, his fist was coated with venom provided by Magellan, the warden of Impel Down!

In the original work, Magellan used this venom to easily defeat Luffy, Ivankov, Raiden, and the entire Blackbeard Teach crew, demonstrating its immense destructive power against creatures without an antidote.

With a hissing sound, the venom rapidly corroded the minotaur's wounds, which even burst open, scattering the surrounding carapace like powder, revealing the blackened blood and muscle inside due to the poisoning. Wisps of white smoke occasionally rose up, making it look extremely pitiful.

Just as Unit-01 was gaining the upper hand and relentlessly beating the Minotaur, a sudden change occurred. Just as Unit-01 punched the Minotaur's wound again, the Minotaur not only did not dodge or block, but instead recklessly punched Unit-01 in return, trading injury for injury!

At this moment, the minotaur's eyes were bloodshot, his face was covered in bulging veins, and he had a crazed expression. It was the basic ability of the awakened Zoan Devil Fruit: Berserk!

After a series of blows and pains, the minotaur finally lost all its reason and went berserk.

However, this was meaningless to Luffy and Unit-01. The opponent, who originally knew a little about blocking and dodging, now just waved his hands wildly at the air without dodging or dodging, like a mental patient who had just escaped from Aoyama Hospital. How could he possibly compete with Luffy and Unit-01, who had rich combat experience?

Soon, after taking more attacks, the minotaur was covered in blood, with blood trickling from the corner of its mouth. It stood unsteadily, clearly severely injured.

Strike while the iron is hot, Unit-01 raised its left fist high, and Luffy's passionate and heroic voice rang out loudly:

"My fist is burning fiercely!" This time, the fist is covered with Admiral Akainu's molten lava!

"It's shouting for me to seize victory!" The raised, fiery fist slammed down like a meteorite!

"Earth-Shattering Fist!!!"

This time, the Minotaur was unable to stand up again.

Afterwards, cheers from the crowd resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

Although the battle was won, the destruction was devastating. The terrain for dozens of miles around was completely altered. The vast plain in front of the city was torn apart, with countless swathes of seawater flooding in, making the entire plain seem as if it were about to sink into the sea. Huge cracks were everywhere on the surface. Fortunately, the battle took place on the mainland; if it had been on an ordinary island, the island would probably have sunk long ago.

The destructive power displayed by this monster and EVA far surpasses that of all the powerful beings in the original work.

Tianqing watched the departing EVA, a strange glint in her eyes: "If my giant puppet could possess such power..."

PS: Second update, please recommend and favorite, thank you!

update notification

Greetings, dear readers. Here's the thing: I'm planning to adjust my daily update schedule from now on, since I don't have any drafts saved up and need to reserve some for a big burst of updates.

Yes, dear readers, you read that right, this story has passed the editor's scrutiny.

So the update plan is as follows: for older chapters, there will be three updates per day; for new chapters, there will generally be one update per day, with additional updates depending on the number of votes.

Also, with this hot weather, it's the perfect time to enjoy oysters. I recommend everyone try the garlic-roasted oysters – they're absolutely amazing! I ate almost 40 in one go, and the vendor ran out of stock.

I want to give a shout-out to Guangxi oysters. They're clearly priced at 10 yuan for 5, and they're all freshly caught at the port—definitely not like the overpriced oysters from Sanya.

Chapter Six: A Glimpse into the Collapsed One Piece World *Investigation

Approximately 13 years ago, countless Sea Kings emerged from the deep sea and began attacking humans in a frenzy. The earliest Sea Kings were only a few tens of meters long, which ordinary Devil Fruit users could handle. Later, Sea Kings that were over a hundred meters long began to cause heavy losses to most pirates, merchant caravans, and naval fleets. As a result, the World Government, pirates, and the Revolutionary Army all had to send their most powerful members to hunt them down in order to ensure the smooth flow of sea routes.

Then, about 10 years ago, sea king-like monsters with bodies hundreds of meters long began to appear, and all of these monsters had eaten Devil Fruits.

Sea Kings who eat Devil Fruits not only possess the immense power that comes with them, but they also overcome the weakness of Devil Fruit users who fear seawater. They are completely unafraid of Seastone weapons and can even see ships disguised with Seastone.

When these powerful sea king-like monsters appeared in the world's oceans, everything changed. Only admiral-level fighters could repel these monsters and ensure the passage of ships, but how many admiral-level fighters are there in the entire pirate world?

In just one month, over 90% of pirate ships, merchant fleets, and naval vessels in the entire One Piece world were sunk by Sea King-type monsters, countless pirates perished in the belly of the sea, and sea routes were basically all cut off. The Great Pirate Era ended with this unexpected outcome.

With the end of the Age of Exploration, the ocean has become a forbidden zone for humankind. Only a very few powerful generals can barely protect a small fleet sailing on the sea. Compared to land routes, sea routes no longer have any advantage.

Then something even more terrifying happened. Five years ago, the Sea Kings who possessed Devil Fruits began to set foot on land one after another, heading towards human cities.

To combat these colossal monsters, the World Government, pirates, and the Revolutionary Army—three normally irreconcilable forces—joined forces and developed a biological weapon called EVA. These EVAs possessed enormous bodies, approximately 500 meters tall, and comparable resilience, vitality, and combat prowess to Sea Kings. This allowed them to withstand the Sea Kings' attacks and barely maintain humanity's dominant position on land.

In the battle against the Sea Kings, humanity and humanoid beings worldwide suffered enormous losses, with the population drastically reduced. To boost morale and demonstrate the power of the World Government, approximately one year ago, the World Government began allowing the public to witness the battles between EVA and the monsters, promising to dispatch powerful individuals to protect the safety of spectators and mandating that journalists be present to broadcast the battles live to the world.

After a series of victories, the people seemed to see the dawn of victory and reaffirmed their belief that humanity would prevail.

However, Tian Qing doesn't think so.

First of all, there are not many Sea Kings that land. There are countless Sea Kings that are hundreds of meters long in the ocean. If they swarm on, how can the limited number of EVAs that humans currently have resist them? According to reports, the current EVA construction plan has only reached EVA Unit 8.

The most terrifying thing is that truly powerful sea kings have not yet appeared. The original work clearly records a type of super-giant sea king that is at least 5000 meters long and possesses the power to destroy the world. If such a sea king were to go berserk and attack humanity, then humanity would have absolutely no chance of winning.

If Tianqing could think of something like this, then naturally there would be wise individuals among the combined forces of the World Government, pirates, and the Revolutionary Army, who possess vast intelligence networks. Those who have access to the Poneglyphs have also provided a solution to this terrifying conjecture: a bounty poster.

Bounty: A reward is offered for the search of the missing mermaid princess Shirahoshi. Whoever delivers her to the World Government, the pirates, or the Revolutionary Army will have one request granted by each of the three parties, including becoming a Celestial Dragon, the Pirate King, or the leader of the Revolutionary Army.

Looking at the wanted posters plastered all over the streets, Tianqing knew very well the identity of the mermaid princess Shirahoshi. Recorded in the Poneglyphs, she was known as Poseidon, one of the three legendary Ancient Weapons, possessing the power to summon colossal sea kings. According to information from Fishman City, Princess Shirahoshi disappeared 13 years ago, precisely before the sea kings went berserk.

P.S. I saw a new anime today with a character named Eromanga Sensei. After thinking about it carefully, isn't that just a transliteration of the Japanese word for "erotic manga teacher"? No wonder they used a transliteration; if they used the real name, it would probably be censored immediately.

Just how much do the Japanese love orthopedics? Take the ancient Egyptian royal family as an example. In order to prevent their bloodline from flowing out, the ancient Egyptian royal family practiced consanguineous marriage. As a result, in the later period of the dynasty, almost all the emperors were plagued by hereditary diseases, and the infant mortality rate was extremely high.

Chapter Seven: A Fleeting Glimpse into the Collapsed One Piece World *Return

Closing the folder, Tian Qing stood up from the library chair and stretched. Through the intelligence gathering of the past few days, she now had a general understanding of the One Piece world. Although she still didn't know what the previous transmigrator had planned, Tian Qing decided not to investigate further.

Because she is still too weak right now, she might not even be able to handle those young pirates who are called Supernovas, let alone the various Admirals and Shichibukai. As for the Sea Kings and EVA, Ame is far beyond her reach.

After all, when Tianqing first arrived in the One Piece world, he obtained the Devil Fruit and the piece of paper left behind by the previous transmigrator. Such gains had already met Tianqing's expectations. Considering that he had already stayed in the One Piece world for more than 5 days, if he did not go back, it might arouse suspicion from some people. Therefore, Tianqing decided to return to the Naruto world immediately.

Before returning, however, Tianqing wanted to leave a new backdoor mark in this world so that she could come back to this world again in the future. The previous backdoor mark hidden in the wooden house on the mountainside had been crushed to pieces in the previous battle between EVA and the monster.

As Tian Qing walked out of the library, a waiter respectfully opened the carriage door for her, and the carriage then drove directly to a villa belonging to a Celestial Dragon in the city.

The Celestial Dragons, as the top nobles in the pirate world, are descendants of the 20 kings who established the World Government 800 years ago. They consider themselves "descendants of the creator" and use this as a basis for their arrogance and domineering behavior. Because they consider themselves great, they disdain breathing the same air as ordinary people and wear bubble headgear. They arbitrarily treat people of other races as slaves. Simply put, they do not regard others as human beings. The killing, torture, and humiliation of slaves are commonplace.

They enjoy all privileges, and according to regulations, if they are offended, the Navy Headquarters will send an admiral to support them with all its military power. They are a group of self-important guys who are known as the biggest trash.

Although the Celestial Dragons live collectively in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, they own vast amounts of wealth and real estate all over the world, and this city is no exception. In the center of the city, there is a villa belonging to a Celestial Dragon, where a group of soldiers and servants are stationed to protect the Celestial Dragons' property.

However, under Ameyo's illusion, the villa's current acknowledged owner is a Celestial Dragon: Saint Ameyo. Generally speaking, male Celestial Dragons add the character "Saint" to the end of their names, while female Celestial Dragons add the character "Homage" to show their greatness. However, Ameyo dislikes the character "Homage," so she gave herself a male Celestial Dragon name.

Tianqing wasn't worried about her being exposed as a Celestial Dragon; she was very confident about that.

First of all, as a port city, in this era of frequent attacks by Sea Kings, no Celestial Dragon dared to visit this city, and therefore no second Celestial Dragon came to expose the truth about the sky.

The villa's butler would continue to send reports to the original owner at the same time as before, indicating that everything was normal in the villa, without mentioning Tian Qing's existence at all.

Secondly, apart from the soldiers and butler in the villa, Tian Qing had no contact with anyone else.

Tianqing's illusion distorted the perceptions of the soldiers and butlers in the villa. In their eyes, Tianqing was Saint Tianqing, a Celestial Dragon who kept a low profile and concealed his identity. All other matters that required contact with others were handled by the butler. In the eyes of the rest of the city, Tianqing was just a newly appointed butler in the villa.

It was precisely because of her Celestial Dragon identity that Tianqing was able to obtain so much information in such a short time and figure out what had happened in this pirate world.

After Amemori left the world of One Piece, these people would only remember that Celestial Dragon Saint Amemori had spent some time researching information in the city before leaving; otherwise, they would remember nothing else.

Deep underground in the villa, Tian Qing built a small secret room and installed a new back door for time travel. Next time, she will use this place to return to the pirate world.

With a "whoosh," Tian Qing returned to her secret base in the Naruto world in the blink of an eye. As its energy was depleted, the Demon Egg shriveled up again and gradually disappeared, leaving only a red mark on the back of her hand.

Regardless, this pirate journey was not in vain. Tianqing looked at the fruit in her hand and the paper covered with writing, and nodded in satisfaction.

Tianqing wouldn't eat a Devil Fruit; she feared the side effects of seawater, which would make her too vulnerable to Water Release techniques. Even a Logia-type mist body would be easily countered, given the sheer number of spatial sealing barriers in the Naruto world. Therefore, Tianqing planned to use the Devil Fruit for another purpose.

Yes, perhaps what Devil Fruits fear isn't ordinary seawater, but rather the seawater in the One Piece world or certain substances in the seawater of the One Piece world. However, Tianqing doesn't intend to take that risk, since she will still come to this One Piece world in the future, and she doesn't want to use such a power with considerable side effects on her own body.

Previously in the world of One Piece, Tianqing had already used his listening ability to learn from the words on the paper that it described a method for inanimate objects to eat Devil Fruits. By using this method, the inanimate object that eats the Devil Fruit can become a unique Devil Fruit user without experiencing the side effect of being afraid of water.

Tian Qing excitedly looked up at the skeleton of the giant puppet in front of her. Now, she was confident that she could continue the construction of the giant puppet.

Interlude – Uchiha Haruno's Busy Day

My name is Uchiha Haruno, and I am a member of the elite Uchiha clan of Konoha. I am currently being ostracized by my fellow clansmen.

It's nothing really, except I have a Hyuga teammate who, although pretty, is incredibly stupid. She even blinded herself. As her teammate, of course I wanted to check on her and offer my condolences. But the adults in the clan didn't like it. They said things like the Uchiha and Hyuga are sworn enemies, and that people's hearts have changed. They dumped a bunch of low-level tasks on me and forbade me from leaving the camp.

So, as a skilled Chunin, my current tasks are to water and weed in the morning, plant trees and dig ditches in the afternoon, and get rid of pests in the evening. I'm constantly busy.

"Little Haruno, you seem to be very busy?"

"Hmm." I snorted. Didn't you see my mother was busy? Why do you keep coming here all the time?

This person is an elder of the clan, Uchiha Mokage. I don't know what's wrong with this old fox; he keeps coming to check on me all the time, for no reason at all. What's going on? Has he taken a fancy to me? Sorry, I'm not interested in old hags, but if you had half the looks of Hyuga Kagetsu, I might consider it.

"Ohara, why didn't you go see your Hyuga teammate today? Her name is Hyuga Kagetsu, right?"

"Yeah, I'm busy." I ignored him and focused on weeding. It's just that the clan won't let me go see the Fire Moon, isn't it?

"Actually, the clan elders all know that there is no real competition between the Uchiha and Hyuga clans—the Hyuga clan is hardly worthy of competing with the Uchiha clan. It's just that the Hokage stands behind the Hyuga clan, and it is the Hokage who needs the Uchiha and Hyuga clans to be at odds. That's why the Uchiha clan pretends to be at odds with the Hyuga clans. Otherwise, the Hokage and the Senju clan would probably have to intervene themselves. And right now, the Uchiha clan doesn't have any experts who can rival the Second Hokage."

"Hmm, hmm, hmm," I mumbled absentmindedly as I watered the plants, not paying any attention to what he was saying. What did he just say? That the Hokage is a master?

"Yes, the Hokage is a master," I replied casually, and continued watering the plants.

"Indeed, the Second Hokage was a master, but what if that master is gone? In terms of elite Jonin, the Uchiha clan's strength is no less than that of the Senju clan. So some people started paying large sums of money to hire more people for Kinkaku and Ginkaku..."

Uchiha Moying spoke very softly for the last few sentences, and I didn't hear them clearly at all, so I asked again, "What? The Hokage is gone? Wasn't he supposed to go to the Land of Lightning?"
