Uchiha Puppet Master, Starting from One Piece.

Connor looked up at the enormous wall that stretched to its limit, her neck almost snapping from looking up.

"However, it seems there are many buildings this tall where we live too."

Unohana Retsu appeared behind Kanna at some point, gently placing a hand on Kanna's shoulder to prevent her from falling off the railing.

She looked up at the giant wall, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"No wonder no one can easily enter this country."

Her voice was soft, but every word was as clear as if it had been carved with a knife.

"Such natural barriers are more effective than any army."

Robin pulled out a book from somewhere and flipped through the pages quickly, saying as she turned the pages, "The outskirts of Wano Country have no coastline; the entire country is surrounded by a ring of rocky cliffs, which are said to be over several thousand meters high."

"The only way for outsiders to enter Wano Country is to climb up."

"Climb up?"

Rangiku looked at the almost vertical cliff and her lips twitched.

"Are you kidding me? How do you climb this thing?"

"Regarding this, I read a story that there is a special kind of carp that lives in the sea near Wano Country. Every year, they regularly swim upstream from under the waterfall to the top of it."

"If you catch these carp, you can climb the waterfall."

"carp?"

Rangiku looked at Robin, thinking she had misheard.

"carp."

Robin closed the book and looked at Rangiku.

"But I'm not sure if this is true, after all, the records in the book are not necessarily reliable."

Chapter 197 Login

Rangiku was silent for a second, then smiled.

"Whether it's reliable or not, we should give it a try."

Bai Yu then turned around and looked at everyone on the deck.

"Everyone get ready! We're going to climb the waterfall!"

The Dawn continued its journey.

The giant wall drew closer and closer, so close that the people on the ship could clearly see every crack in the rock face, every protruding rock, and every cluster of plants growing tenaciously in the crevices.

Then they heard the sound of water.

At first, it was just a distant, faint sound, like the rustling of wind through the treetops. But as it drew closer, the sound grew louder, clearer, and more intense.

In the end, the sound turned into a deafening roar, like countless giant beasts roaring at the same time, like the sky cracking open, like the earth trembling.

Bai Yu saw the waterfall.

That's not an ordinary waterfall.

It was a huge, topless curtain of water cascading down from thousands of meters in the air, stretching across the entire field of vision.

Water cascades down from the top of the cliff with a destructive, irrational force, crashing into the sea and creating a cloud of mist.

The mist filled the entire sea surface, like a white veil hanging down from the sky.

Sunlight shines through the mist, refracting countless rainbows. Arcs of light intertwine, overlap, and separate in the mist, like a huge, flowing, and never-repeating painting.

The Dawn entered the mist zone.

Visibility dropped sharply, and almost nothing could be seen ahead, only a vast expanse of white.

The mist soaked everyone's clothes, leaving a layer of cold water droplets on their skin.

Kanna excitedly opened her mouth, trying to catch the water.

"Stop drinking!"

Rangiku lifted Kanna down from the railing and wiped the water droplets from her face with her sleeve.

"That's not a good thing!"

Bai Yu's eyes searched through the mist.

Then he saw the carp.

It was a gigantic carp, over ten meters long, covered in golden scales. It leaped out of the water from the bottom of the waterfall, its body tracing a perfect arc in mid-air before plunging headfirst into the waterfall's current, swimming upstream at an incredible speed.

Then came the second, the third, the fourth...

More and more carp leaped out of the water and swam upstream against the flow of the waterfall. Their bodies twisted violently in the water, and each swing could move them several meters upward.

Bai Yu's eyes lit up.

These are them!

"Everyone, hold on tight! We have to catch those carp!"

"what?!"

Rangiku's eyes widened.

"We're going to catch carp?!"

"It's not an arrest!"

Bai Yu corrected him.

"We'll have them carry us up!"

Artoria was the first to react. She rushed to the bow of the ship, her golden hair fluttering in the wind, her eyes fixed on a giant carp that was passing by the ship.

"The power of the Holy Sword cannot be used here."

"But if it's just about catching one fish—"

She took a deep breath, crouched slightly, and then leaped up.

Her body traced a golden arc in mid-air, landing precisely on the carp's back. The carp sensed something on its back and lashed out with its tail, trying to shake her off, but Artoria's hands gripped the fins like iron clamps, remaining completely still.

"hurry up!"

She turned around and called out.

"The boat must be attached to the carp!"

Bai Yu immediately understood what she meant.

"rope!"

he shouted.

"Tie the boat to the carp!"

Robin and Violet acted simultaneously. Violet's ability allowed her to see through the mist, pinpointing the location of each carp. Robin, on the other hand, used her power to extend a rope from the boat and precisely loop it around the largest carp.

Kanna broke free from Rangiku's embrace and ran to the ship's side, her little face full of excitement.

"I want to go! I want to go!"

Don't go!

Unohana Retsu grabbed her by the collar and lifted her up.

"It's safer for you to stay on the ship."

Kanna puffed out her cheeks, but still obediently let Retsu Unohana hold her.

The Dawnbreaker's ropes were firmly tied to the body of a giant carp.

The carp seemed to sense the weight behind it. Its body suddenly sank, but then it unleashed an even stronger force, its tail slapping violently against the water's surface, propelling the Dawnbreaker upwards against the waterfall.

The bow of the Dawn rose, and the entire ship climbed upwards at an almost vertical angle.

Seawater poured down from both sides of the ship, creating a tremendous roar.

Rangiku stood on the deck, one hand holding the mast, the other tightly gripping her Zanpakuto.

"This is absolutely insane!"

She shouted, her voice filled with a wild excitement.

Bai Yu stood at the bow of the boat, gripping the gunwale tightly, letting the icy water lash his face and body.

The ship rocked violently under the impact of the water flow, each swaying seeming to test the ship's limits.

But the power of the carp far exceeds imagination.

Each swing of its wings carried immense power, propelling the Dawn upwards.

The waterfall cascaded down from above, crashing onto the boat and onto everyone, its waters icy cold, but no one felt the chill during this frantic climb.

Excitement.

Only that kind of thrill that pushes you to your limits and makes your heart race.

The carp suddenly accelerated.

It seemed to have seen or sensed something; its tail slapped violently against the water, and its body surged upwards at an astonishing speed.

The Dawn was pulled upwards wildly, and water mist surged in from all sides, enveloping everything in a white chaos.

I could see nothing, hear nothing, only the roar of the water and the beating of my heart.

Then, suddenly—

Everything disappeared.

The mist dissipated.

The roar subsided.

The Dawn burst forth from the waterfall as if emerging from a long tunnel, entering a completely new world.

Bai Yu opened his eyes.
