Alone and Infinite

Hani suddenly pulled out his camera and frantically pressed the shutter button, aiming it at the surrounding scenery and the moon.

The clicking sound continued until the film was finished, at which point he reluctantly put down the camera.

He took a deep breath, nodded, and said, "Xia, let's go back!"

"Going back like this? Without going to see any other places?"

"No!" Hani shook his head firmly. Although he wanted to continue to see this beautiful place, he wanted to report the situation here back to headquarters as soon as possible.

"Time is of the essence. The sooner we inform headquarters, the greater our chances of success will be."

As soon as they returned to the ground, Hani couldn't wait to find a quiet room. Although he meant that Li Xia could also listen in, Li Xia waved his hand, indicating that he would report back himself.

The door had barely closed when Hani's excited voice came through the crack:

"Yes! Yes! It's true! It's all true! The legendary Sky Island really exists! I took pictures."

That white ocean, those amazing creatures.

"And the moon is real!"

Li Xia's lips curved slightly as she turned and left.

Before long, the Den Den Mushi in his arms rang with a soft "blur blur".

Li Xia picked up the receiver, and the Den Den Mushi, which had previously resembled a snail, suddenly displayed a human-like expression, looking quite similar to Sabo.

"Xia! The Commander-in-Chief and the other army commanders have fully agreed to your proposal. We have decided to immediately transfer our forces to Jaya Island and head to the Sky Island."

The Commander-in-Chief has decided to personally deal with Enel, even if he can't be killed, he'll be driven away—

"No, you just need to do me a favor."

Li Xia decisively rejected Sabo's suggestion. He had put in so much effort for Enel, and if Dragon stole the kill, wouldn't all his efforts have been in vain?

"Leave Enel to me!"

The groundwork's laid; let's speed up the plot now!

Chapter 349 Li Xia VS Straw Hat Pirates

The Den Den Mushi (snap stick) incredibly realistically mimicked Sabo's expression.

Its eyes were wide open, and a single, materialized drop of 'sweat' even rolled down its cheeks.

"Xia, according to the information you provided, the enemy has a Logia-type Rumble-Rumble Fruit!"

Even without ever fighting anyone on the ground, after so many years of developing his Devil Fruit ability, his strength is definitely not weak.

"I know."

Perhaps it was because Li Xia's voice was unusually calm that Sabo on the other side also calmed down.

He was silent for a moment, then slowly said:

"Okay, what kind of help do you need?"

"Make me something, something really big—"

Li Xia tried her best to explain what she needed in simple and easy-to-understand language:

"I'll have Hani bring the blueprints to you then. Can you finish it in just a few days?"

Sabo thought for a moment and said doubtfully, "It's possible. With the help of the Devil Fruit, it won't be difficult to accomplish what you want."

But does this really work?

"Of course there is. That's settled then. Just let me know when you find the place."

Li Xia did not send all the high-ranking officers of the Revolutionary Army to Jaya Island, both to avoid suspicion and to prevent himself from being exposed.

Let's be open and honest, let them find their own place, and if they need help flying up there, they can contact us; if not, that's fine too.

The greatest use of the revolutionary army is not in the present, but in the future.

Li Xia had just seen Hani off and thought she could finally relax a bit when she received another message.

The Straw Hat Pirates are approaching Jaya Island, which means the Skypiea arc is about to begin.

The study in the manor's small building has now been converted into an office by Li Xia.

Black Charcoal sat in the children's armchair, pretending to be an expert without saying a word.

According to Aowu, the kitten is completely immersed in the art of cosplay and has taken a ton of videos and photos.

It's said he's planning to go to Tieba (a Chinese online forum) to have some fun and pretend to be an expert.

It only photographed Li Xia.

It's worth mentioning that Aowu also went to the Naruto forum and showed off quite a bit, posting a picture of Li Xia.

"Boss, does the Straw Hat crew have a way to take them down?"

"Awoo looked at Luffy, who was smiling unusually happily on the wanted poster, and asked curiously."

Li Xia shook his head: "Difficult!"

He paused, then added, "It's very difficult!"

Li Xia posted all the wanted posters for the Straw Hat crew on the wanted board in front of him and said:

"First of all, the Straw Hat crew itself is not weak. For example, Straw Hat Luffy is now at the level of a Rear Admiral to a Vice Admiral."

Zoro and Sanji are not much worse than him.

It gets stronger as time goes on. If we look at the timeline two years from now, even a top-tier third-order apostle might not be able to defeat it.

Furthermore, in this world, all members of the Straw Hat crew possess a passive ability called "Strong Luck," which is somewhat similar to my own talent.

The greater the life-or-death crisis, the higher the luck stat, and Usopp and Luffy's incredible luck even increases their strength.

As the absolute protagonists of the One Piece world, the Straw Hat Pirates have attracted the attention of countless Apostles.

Everyone knows that killing them will definitely yield good stuff, like a treasure chest of destiny.

Those who lacked the strength to detect the attributes gave up immediately, while those who dared to continue were apostles who were quite confident in their abilities.

The methods used by the Lone Ranger are mostly assassination and poisoning.

However, thanks to the Straw Hat crew's strange luck, they always manage to evade danger through various unbelievable 'coincidences'.

Guilds are no exception; countless guilds have tried to ambush and kill the Straw Hat Pirates.

Has anyone succeeded? Yes!

In the instant of their success, the guild's team was simultaneously branded as a blood feud by a long list of entities, including the Navy, the Revolutionary Army, Shanks' crew, Alabasta, Amazon Lily, Fish-Man Island, Skypiea, and almost the entire world.

Enraged, Garp and Shanks did nothing but relentlessly pursue the enemy, while Dragon and Sabo also went mad.

Even the sea kings in the ocean began to rebel under Shirahoshi's control; in other words, the entire world descended into chaos.

At the height of the chaos, even Im, who sat firmly on the great throne of Mary Geoise, had to send his own forces to help suppress the rebellion, hoping that the world would soon return to peace.

The guild that used the light orange disposable item to temporarily block the Straw Hat crew's lucky escape didn't even last two days.

From then on, no one dared to mess with the Straw Hat Pirates anymore.

Li Xia had never even considered killing the Straw Hat Pirates. The main character involved in this matter, which involved almost all the forces, was the landmine.

It's far less appealing than profiting from various powerful forces as we do now.

"Right!"

Aowu nodded thoughtfully:

"The world of One Piece is different from the world of Naruto. There are very few equipment and skills. The main products are Devil Fruits and various techniques."

"Killing is definitely not an option."

Looking at Luffy's unusually happy smile on the wanted poster, a brilliant idea gradually came to Li Xia's mind.

"Perhaps we can give it a try!"

"Oh~~~"

Luffy craned his neck, gazing at the peaceful and harmonious Jaya Island, his face bearing his signature expression of amazement:

"This looks really good! It's got guts! It's got guts!"

His eyes lit up, and he slammed his fist into his palm:

"It has a windmill village feel to it!"

Nami, dressed in a T-shirt and shorts, looked around, equally surprised.

"It seems quite peaceful here. The navy here must be pretty good."

At this point, the Straw Hat crew was basically formed. Apart from the shipwright Franky, the musician Brook, and the helmsman Jinbe who would appear much later in the story, everyone else had already joined the crew.

"Let's go explore the town first; maybe we can find a clue that the pointer keeps pointing to the sky!"

Nami tossed her hair, a gesture that instantly turned Sanji's eyes into hearts.

"I want to eat!"

"Where are the knives stored? I need to have my knife serviced."

"Bookstore! Chopper wants to go to the bookstore!"

The noisy, bustling group of Straw Hats, who resembled a tour group, entered the town and were quickly infected by the vibrant atmosphere and the smiling faces of the residents.

He couldn't help but smile.

"Take your money, it's all gone once you've spent it!"

After confirming that it was indeed safe here, Nami, who was in charge of the money, carefully took out a stack of Berries and distributed them to the other companions.

"Only 20,000 Berries? That's way too little, Nami!"

Luffy was counting the money in his hand, preparing to ask for a little more, when suddenly he paused, his expression turning serious.

The pedestrians in the distance had all disappeared at some point, or rather, they had hidden outside, watching this place with curiosity and anticipation.

Meanwhile, hundreds of marines had already surrounded the Straw Hat crew from the street, silently and orderly approaching them step by step with guns raised.

"The navy?"

Zoro grinned and slowly placed his hands on the hilts of his sword at his waist.

A dark figure rushed in from the outside. Luffy's eyes narrowed and he shouted:

"careful!"

Sanji had already spun half a circle using one leg as a pivot, and his whip kick arrived in an instant with a whistling sound.

"Oh!"

Kuroko's hind leg collided with Sanji's whip kick, and his navy coat billowed in the wind as he ran at high speed.

After a brief stalemate, Hei Tan was sent flying backward due to his size, and a faint shockwave spread out from the point of impact.

The black cat stretched its body in mid-air and landed gracefully on the ground.

"Oh!!! Kitten!!!"

"Black Cat Navy!"

Luffy and Chopper's eyes lit up.

"Hey Luffy, this is the Navy!"

Zoro had already drawn his sword, but in the end, the sword in his mouth remained sheathed; he had become serious.

The kick that the kitten exchanged with Sanji just now already demonstrated its strength.

The Black Cat Navy in front of us is definitely not weak!

"I know!"

Reminded by Zoro, Luffy finally snapped out of his daze. Looking at the Marines around him and Kuroko, who was wearing a Marine coat, he once again flashed his signature smile:

"Everyone, get ready to run!"
