Post-Apocalyptic America: Synthetic 3D Female Protagonist.

Based on the timeline, Ace should have already made a name for himself on the Grand Line by this time, but it would still be some time before he defeated the Seven Warlords of the Sea and became famous throughout the world.

In other words, he has not yet become Whitebeard's son.

Meanwhile, Blackbeard Teach, who would later shake the world, was still loyally acting as his son at this time. It wasn't until two years later, in 1521, that he accidentally encountered the Dark-Dark Fruit, killed his companion, and defected to the sea.

All the major events of the future have yet to truly begin.

Just as Su Hui was pondering his future plans, a familiar yet cold voice suddenly rang in his mind.

It's Merlin.

[Master, the energy of the spatial passage is more stable than expected. Your estimated stay in this realm is approximately 120 days.]

I will remind you again before the deadline.

120 days.

Four months.

There was more time than expected.

Su Hui's eyes deepened, and the previously vague plan in his mind instantly became clear.

Looking at the Yamato in front of him, who was recounting the story of Kozuki Oden with indignation, two choices flashed through his mind.

Firstly, once his strength is restored, he will secretly take Yamato, who yearns for freedom, and sneak out to sea, heading straight for Dressrosa to find "Heavenly Demon" Doflamingo.

With his own strength, he defeated Doflamingo and used the "Seed of Loyalty" to control him. After that, he could use Doflamingo's Celestial Dragon status to make connections with the World Government. At the same time, he could use "JOKER's" identity and his vast underground network to quietly lay out plans in the New World.

The advantage of doing this is freedom, without being restricted by anyone.

However, the downsides are equally obvious. In the vast new world, without a permanent compass, setting sail for Dressrosa is no easy task.

Sailing into the New World was an extremely time-consuming and perilous undertaking.

Secondly, there is a more direct and riskier option.

Su Hui's gaze seemed to pierce through the walls of the room, looking towards the highest point of Ghost Island, at the top of that giant skull.

They went directly to the island's owner, Kaido of the Beasts.

Try to form some kind of alliance with that "world's strongest creature," or... make a deal.

The benefits of leveraging the immense power of the Beasts Pirates, one of the Four Emperors, are obvious. The Beasts Pirates' influence is unparalleled; even Doflamingo is merely a high-ranking partner under Kaido.

The downside, of course, is that you have to face Kaido's terrifying strength, which can be described as monstrous.

This choice carries enormous risk, but the rewards are equally astonishing.

The thought of facing Kaido's terrifying, calamity-like strength made Su Hui's blood boil uncontrollably.

A palpable fighting spirit flashed across his deep eyes.

"Ok?"

Yamato, who had been chattering on and on, suddenly stopped talking.

She keenly caught the fleeting change in Su Hui's aura.

The man, who had seemed weak and confused just moments before, now had eyes that were like unsheathed blades, making her instinctively feel a pang of fear.

The excitement and anger on her face vanished instantly, replaced by a seriousness and solemnity stemming from her fighting spirit.

Her golden eyes were fixed on Su Hui.

Su Hui concealed his aura and looked at her sudden change in appearance, asking with great interest.

"what happened?"

"You... ah, I still don't know your name. You can call me Yamato."

Yamato scratched his head, his expression somewhat uncertain, but his eyes were unusually serious.

"Judging from that feeling just now, you seem to be quite a strong person as well."

Just a moment ago, she felt a terrifying aura emanating from Su Hui that sent chills down her spine.

That's not the look of a weakling.

"Su Hui."

Upon hearing this, Su Hui smiled.

"I am a swordsman too."

He looked into Yamato's eyes, which were lighting up again, and threw out an irresistible lure.

"Perhaps I can grant your wish. How about I take you out to sea with me after I recover from my injuries?"

"Let's go see the world together."

"Really?!"

Yamato's eyes widened instantly, a huge surge of joy welling up inside her, making her almost jump for joy.

However, her excited shouts had not yet come out.

"Yamato-neechan—! Are you in there?!"

A clear, slightly coquettish girl's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

Su Hui's eyes narrowed; he had already sensed the presence of the newcomer.

"Oh no! Oh no!"

Yamato's expression changed, and he panicked. "It's Runti! Why is she here!"

She paced anxiously in circles, her mind blank as she looked at Su Hui, who had nowhere to hide in the room.

In a moment of desperation,

Her gaze fell on a wooden shelf in the corner.

There was a hideous-looking demon mask there.

This is the mask that Yamato wore to imitate her idol, Kozuki Oden, when Kaido forced her to be declared his "son".

Without thinking twice, Yamato rushed forward, grabbed the mask, and slammed it onto Su Hui's face.

"Don't make a sound!"

At the same time that the mask covered Su Hui's face.

"Squeak-"

The shoji door to the room was suddenly pulled open a crack.

A head with long, sea-blue hair, two horns on its head, and a pink face mask peeked in.

Those two big, round eyes, so distinctive and adorable, blinked and looked at the two people in the room, letting out a surprised look.

"Alas?"

"Why are there other people in your room, Yamato-neechan?"

129. Teaching a lesson to the little devil

A striking glimpse of long, sea-blue hair peeked through the gap created by the shoji door being pulled open.

The girl had a pair of very distinctive, round eyes that were blinking curiously. A pink mask covered the lower half of her face, revealing only a small tip of her nose. The pair of bright red demon horns on her head were quite similar to those of Yamato, but made her look even more charming.

The newcomer was none other than Ulti, one of the "Flying Six" of the Beasts Pirates.

"Alas?"

Runti's gaze swept around the room before finally settling on Su Hui, who was wearing the Prajna Oni Mask, and she let out a soft exclamation filled with surprise and doubt.

"Why are there other people in your room, Yamato-neechan?"

Her voice was clear and crisp, with a touch of childlike naiveté, but the scrutiny in her eyes was undisguised.

"he……"

Yamato's heart leaped into his throat, his brain raced, and he instinctively began to offer a perfunctory reply.

"He...he's also a guest of our pirate crew! Yes, a guest! He just came to sit for a while."

"guest?"

Runti tilted her head, her big, round eyes filled with doubt.

She scrutinized Su Hui, lingering particularly on the hideous ghost mask on his face for a long time.

"Why is the guest wearing your mask, Yamato-neechan?"

"Well..."

Yamato was speechless for a moment, and a fine layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. He could only forcefully change the subject.

"You still haven't told me why you came to see me! Is there something you need?"

When it came to serious matters, Runti's attention was indeed drawn.

"Ah, right!"

She slapped her forehead, her expression becoming more serious.

"Old Man Kaido is looking for you, Yamato."

"He's looking for me?"

Upon hearing the name Kaido, Yamato's panic vanished instantly, replaced by an expression that mixed with disgust and annoyance.

She glanced at Su Hui and quickly gave instructions in a low voice.

"Stay here and don't come out or make a sound."

After saying that, she grabbed Runti's arm and practically dragged her out of the room.

"Let's go, let's talk as we walk."

"Hey? What are you doing, Yamato-neechan!"

"Nie still hasn't told me what my dad wants to see me about?"

Runti stumbled as she was pulled, complaining under her breath, but was still dragged out of the room.

Just before the shoji doors closed, she glanced back one last time, still worried.

Those round eyes, which had originally seemed somewhat innocent, now became unusually sharp, their gaze scraping across Su Hui's mask like a knife.

The room fell silent again.

Su Hui sat quietly in place, seemingly waiting for something.

really,

However, a few minutes later.

"Squeak..."

The huge paper door was silently slid open a crack.

Runti's figure reappeared; she had left Yamato behind and returned.

She entered the room, closed the door behind her, turned around, crossed her arms, causing her full breasts to tremble, and looked down at Su Hui with a condescending attitude, her round eyes scrutinizing him from head to toe without any politeness.

Runti's figure contrasted sharply with her slightly childish face, and the vertical stripes of her white striped shirt made her chest appear even more prominent and magnificent.

Her lower body was clad in a light-colored lace mini-skirt that accentuated her slender waist and long, fair legs. Her skin was dazzlingly white, and the long cloak behind her added a touch of majesty and authority.

At this moment,

Her face no longer held any trace of her previous naivety; instead, it displayed the arrogance and domineering nature unique to a little devil.

"Hey, you bastard."

"I don't recall having anyone like you in the pirate crew."

She strode around Su Huihui, who was sitting cross-legged, her long legs moving slowly and deliberately, her red high heels making a soft clattering sound on the floor.

Her gaze was full of scrutiny and provocation, as if she were examining an interesting toy.

"who are you?"

"Yamato-neechan would never bring a man back to her room casually."
