Uchiha Puppet Master, Starting from One Piece.

This is like a mirage.

Complete hypnosis, dominating all who witness the initial moment of liberation, with no way to break free.

As soon as Uchiha Hakuha withdrew the power of Kyoka Suigetsu, Unohana Retsu took a deep breath, and the curiosity in her eyes completely turned into shock and amazement.

She had seen all sorts of Zanpakuto, but she had never seen one with such an overpowered, perfect, and unsolvable ability.

This is not an attack; this is domination of the illusionary world.

"This...this is..."

Retsu Unohana's voice trembled slightly, still gentle, yet unable to conceal the turmoil in her heart: "Is it complete hypnosis? Altering the five senses, overwriting reality, immersing everyone in their most desired, most feared, or most profound illusion..."

Bai Yu gently sheathed his Zanpakuto, his movements graceful and captivating.

"That's right, a mirage."

He said calmly, "Once you have witnessed the moment of Shikai, your five senses will be forever under my control. Whether it is sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch, or your perception of time, space, pain, and death, you can rewrite them at will."

Chapter 151 Shampoo Land

"Before the illusion of a reflection in a mirror or the moon in the water, there is neither reality nor falsehood."

The moment the words left his mouth, the illusion before everyone's eyes shattered like glass.

Camelot vanished, Ohara was restored, Dessert Mountain collapsed, and the bloody battlefield and the warm treatment room disappeared together.

The sea is still the sea, the sky is still the sky, and the giant black ship continues to sail steadily on the blue waves.

It was as if none of that had ever happened.

Artoria gripped the holy sword at her waist, her golden eyes filled with solemnity.

As a queen, her will was as firm as steel. Ordinary illusions were useless against her, but just now, she didn't notice anything unusual at all. Everything was too real.

This power is more terrifying than destroying an island.

Robin gently pressed his hand to his chest; his heart was still beating slightly.

She almost became so engrossed in the dream of reuniting with her mother that she never wanted to wake up. If Bai Yu hadn't taken the initiative to dispel the illusion, she might have remained forever immersed in that false happiness.

Kanna stared blankly for a long time before pouting pitifully, "Waaah... Bai Yu lied, the dessert is gone..."

Unohana Retsu chuckled softly, her smile filled with admiration.

"This is amazing, Shiraha-kun. I have never seen such a perfect illusion-type Zanpakuto. This is not a power on the level of combat. I have no way to deal with this ability. Even my Observation Haki is suppressed by your ability."

"The World Government, the Navy, CP0, even the Five Elders... once they witness the Shikai of this sword, they will be completely under your control."

Bai Yu gazed at the vast horizon where the sea met the sky, a faint smile curving his lips.

With illusions and fleeting beauty in his hands, the entire ocean will become his playground.

The Navy's pursuit? CP0's encirclement? The Five Elders' wrath? The Celestial Dragons' fear?

In the face of complete hypnosis, all enemies are nothing more than flowers in a mirror or the moon's reflection in water.

After sailing for an unknown period of time, the outline of a continuous stretch of islands finally appeared on the distant horizon.

Unlike ordinary islands, countless huge, translucent bubbles with iridescent rainbow hues were rising continuously from that land, like stars falling from the sky, refracting dreamlike colors under the sunlight.

Some bubbles are as tiny as dust, drifting in the wind; others are enormous, enveloping trees, buildings, and even entire blocks, slowly rising into the air and decorating the entire sea area like a fairy tale world.

"This is... the Sabaody Archipelago?"

Robin spoke softly, a hint of amazement in her eyes. Apart from Skypiea, she had never seen such a peculiar and dreamlike sight.

"Bubbles...it's all bubbles!"

Kanna jumped up from the bow of the boat in an instant, her small body almost leaping over the railing, her eyes shining like two dazzling gems.

"So beautiful! Kanna wants to touch it! Kanna wants to sit on the big bubble!"

Artoria also slightly raised her eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in her golden pupils.

Camelot's royal city is majestic and magnificent, but it has never seen such a landscape where nature and fantasy intertwine. Everything before one's eyes is enough to make even the most demanding king marvel.

Unohana Retsu walked slowly to Shiraha's side, gazing at the sea filled with bubbles, and said gently with a smile, "What an incredible island. The power of nature can create such a beautiful scene. Compared to the unchanging cherry blossoms of Seireitei, this place is much more interesting."

Bai Yu nodded, his gaze calmly sweeping across the entire Sabaody Archipelago.

He knew all too well that this seemingly dreamlike bubble island was a necessary passage between the first half of the Grand Line and the New World, and also a sinful paradise teeming with filth and darkness.

On the surface, it's a romantic bubble floating in the air, but behind the scenes, it's a lawless land where human trafficking, slave trading, pirate battles, and nobles lord it over.

"This is the Sabaody Archipelago, which consists of 79 of the world's largest mangrove trees. All the bubbles are formed from the resin secreted by the roots of the mangroves."

Bai Yu spoke calmly, explaining the true nature of the island to everyone.

"Beauty is just a shell; beneath it lies darkness tacitly approved by the world government."

As soon as he finished speaking, the ship slowly entered the bay harbor of the Sabaody Archipelago.

Inside the port, all kinds of ships were densely packed together, including pirate ships and merchant ships, crisscrossing each other. Crowds of people in all kinds of clothing surged about, and the noise, shouts, laughter and cursing mingled together, creating the most vibrant scene of a maritime city.

Countless bubbles rose from the sea, drifting over the heads of the crowd. Some burst at the slightest touch, turning into a cool, damp mist that drew laughter from passersby.

The streets at the foot of Chambord are paved with special stone, and the buildings on both sides are of varying heights. A large number of bubbles constantly emerge from the ground, corners of walls and roofs, floating in the air. Some are caught and played with by pedestrians, while others wrap flowers, desserts and goods, becoming natural decorations and containers.

The air was filled with the salty smell of the sea, the sweet aroma of desserts, and the fresh scent of trees, mixed with a faint hint of bustling activity.

Kanna was completely excited. She broke free from Bai Yu's hand and skipped and jumped, chasing after the bubbles that floated by.

With a small grasp, the transparent bubble landed in her palm. With a gentle touch, it popped into tiny water droplets, which she played with happily.

"Baiyu, look! The bubbles can fly! And they even glow!"

"Robin, Robin! This bubble is huge! Bigger than Kanna's!"

"Sister Artoria! Shall we ride on the giant bubble?"

Kanna's cheerful voice rang out in the street, blending seamlessly with the dreamlike scenery around her.

Robin smiled slightly, reached out and gently caught a bubble that floated in front of her. Watching it refract seven colors on her fingertips, she felt wonderful.

Artoria followed behind Kanna, carefully protecting her to prevent her from being bumped by the crowd.

The former King of Britain had shed all his sharpness, leaving only gentle protection. Looking at Kanna's joyful appearance, a soft warmth appeared in his eyes.

Retsu Unohana and Shiraha strolled along the street, taking in their surroundings.

She looked at the bubble props, specialty desserts, and bizarre One Piece merchandise sold on the street, and at the various passersby, her eyes filled with a sense of novelty.

For her, who had lived for so long, this unfamiliar world full of life was far more comforting than battles and killings.

"Baiyu-kun, look at those trees wrapped in bubbles, they're amazing."

Retsu Unohana said softly, "If we use this resin to make medical devices, it might have a good effect."

Bai Yu shook his head: "These bubbles will burst as soon as they leave the Sabaody Archipelago; they're only suitable for Sabaody."

"Is that so? What a pity."

Chapter 153 Celestial Dragons

After entering Sabaody Archipelago, Bai Yu and his companions continued to advance into the forests with other numbers. Vendors on both sides had already set up long stalls, and the colorful goods dazzled the eyes in the sunlight. In addition to the salty smell of the sea, the air was filled with the aroma of baked goods, the sweetness of fruits, and the unique fresh scent of resin bubbles.

Robin walked in the middle of the group, his eyes scanning the shops and stalls on both sides with some curiosity.

The goods here are full of unique features of the Grand Line, such as bandanas printed with certain pirate flag patterns, backpacks made of sea monster fur, glowing corals that can emit seven-colored light, and various strangely shaped navigation tools and logbooks.

Robin casually picked up a seashell ornament engraved with sea king patterns, a hint of interest flashing in her eyes. To be honest, after encountering the World Government agents who threatened to use the Buster Call in Water 7, she hadn't been in the mood for shopping.

Now things are different. Artoria and Hana easily defeated the Buster Call, not to mention they now have companions by their side who they can trust to travel with them.

"Buy it if you like it."

Bai Yu glanced at her, his tone indulgent: "Here, there's no need to worry too much. We're very strong right now."

Robin paused for a moment, then nodded gently and put the small seashell ornament into his pocket.

She shouldn't have questioned Bai Yu's words; she was so foolish as to almost turn herself in...

Artoria followed silently behind Kanna, keeping a close eye on the crowded people around them.

The Sabaody Archipelago is a bustling place with people of all kinds: pirates, merchants, adventurers, marines, and even mysterious figures shrouded in cloaks and moving about mysteriously.

Despite being a queen, she never let her guard down. But when she saw Kanna chasing after Bubbles, her eyes crinkling with laughter, her gaze softened involuntarily.

Occasionally, a reckless pirate would brush past her, but she would simply sidestep him without making a sound, gracefully and powerfully separating him without causing any commotion.

Kanna was completely immersed in this world of bubbles. She would rush towards the giant bubbles that floated in front of her, and then squat by the roadside, looking at the colorful cotton candy wrapped in bubbles in the vendor's hands, her eyes sparkling.

The vendor was a kind-looking uncle. Seeing how cute she was, he offered her a string of pink cotton candy. Kanna took it and immediately started munching on it, her cheeks puffed out like a satisfied little squirrel.

"Baiyu! It's delicious! You should try a bite!"

She held up the cotton candy to Bai Yu, who helplessly lowered her head, took a small bite, and felt the sweet taste melt on her tongue, with a hint of the refreshing foam resin. This was Chambord's special cotton candy, with a unique flavor.

Retsu Unohana strolled leisurely through the small shops along the street. She showed no interest in the various weapons, but instead paid special attention to the unique plants, herbs, and novel daily necessities of Sabaody.

She walked into a shop selling Chambord specialties and looked closely at the tropical flowers and plants on the shelves that were sealed and preserved with bubble resin.

"Bai Yujun, this plant has a strong vitality. If it is used to make a healing ointment, it should have a good soothing effect."

She picked up a small pot of light blue-leaved grass and looked back at Bai Yu: "It's a pity that they will wither quickly once they leave the environment of Shambaud. We can only grind them as soon as possible."

Bai Yu walked to her side and glanced at the goods on the shelf: "Everything in Sabaody depends on the Yarchiman mangrove. It seems beautiful, but it is very fragile."

Retsu Unohana smiled gently: "Indeed, it's like a mirage, beautiful, but not necessarily real."

These words made Bai Yu's lips curl into a slight smile.

He felt that he was not a real person because he came from another world, and his soul came from another universe.
