Chapter 129

Soul Palace.

The thrones in the front row connected, blooming with light, and the entire palace was shaking.

"Quite a commotion."

Magic Chu Yang said, stroking his chin.

One side of the palace wall disappeared, turning into a dreamlike nebula.

"What kind of thing is this again?"

Naruto Chu Yang leaned in curiously, just about to walk inside, when he was grabbed by Pirate Chu Yang.

"We haven't even figured out the situation; aren't you afraid something will go wrong?"

Pirate Chu Yang said irritably.

"Send a Shadow Clone in to take a look."

Magic Chu Yang suggested.

Naruto Chu Yang nodded, then summoned a Shadow Clone, letting him go inside to check the internal situation of the nebula.

After a while, the Shadow Clone returned, saying with a look of surprise: "Inside is the Naruto world!"

Everyone was shocked! "What do you mean? You opened up the plane?" Demon Slayer Chu Yang asked in surprise.

"I'll go in and take a look."

Naruto Chu Yang intended to go in himself.

"I'll go with you!"

Demon Slayer Chu Yang immediately followed; he also wanted to see what other worlds looked like.

The two walked into the nebula together, and a few seconds later, they returned one after the other.

Demon Slayer Chu Yang said with a strange expression: "The other side isn't the Naruto world; it's the Demon Slayer world."

Naruto Chu Yang looked surprised, "It is the Naruto world; did you go in? I didn't see you!"

Magic Chu Yang suddenly realized, "You returned to your respective worlds; this nebula is the passage for us to go back and forth, which means we can now enter and exit the Soul Palace freely!"

The Chu Yangs from other worlds only then reacted.

Marvel Chu Yang continued: "Does this also mean we can update and synchronize our cultivation results anytime, anywhere?"

"I'm afraid it's more than that!" Naruto Chu Yang suddenly pulled a kunai from his bosom, excited: "This is what I just brought back from the Naruto world!"

Magic Chu Yang widened his eyes, "Objects can pass through worlds freely? Then we can share the specialties of our worlds in the future."

"Compared to world specialties, there are even more important things..." Bleach Chu Yang pointed to the Hogyoku floating above everyone's heads, "This thing can finally be taken away!"

Last time, when the Zanpakuto awakened, the Hogyoku suddenly appeared, absorbed a massive amount of energy, and became complete, but it still couldn't be absorbed, nor could it be brought out of the Soul Palace.

As time went on, everyone treated it as a mascot and stopped paying attention to it.

But now, the Hogyoku could finally exert its proper value.

"Just right, I had some ideas when I was sorting out my abilities a while ago; if I can borrow the power of the Hogyoku, it should be achievable."

Hearing this, everyone looked curiously at Magic Chu Yang.

"I roughly divide our existing abilities into three aspects: Essence, Qi, and Spirit."

"Abilities that can amplify the body, such as Breath of Source, Lightning Release Armor, Sage Mode, Nine Yang Divine Art, etc., are Essence."

"Abilities of the technique type, such as ninjutsu, cursed techniques, Kido, magic, etc., are Qi."

"And there is the spiritual power dominated by Haki."

"With the Hogyoku as the core, all abilities that amplify the body can be fused into one."

"I call that state the Original Body of Martial Essence."

"Original Body of Martial Essence?"

"Is the basic core still the Breath of Source?"

Pirate Chu Yang asked curiously.

"That's right. The reason for using the Breath of Source as the foundation is not only because this skill was realized by ourselves, but it also has the highest compatibility."

"More importantly, the Breath of Source is growable; there is no so-called upper limit."

Magic Chu Yang explained: "With the help of the Hogyoku, the growth potential of the Breath of Source will become even stronger."

The others immediately understood Magic Chu Yang's idea.

The Hogyoku can protect the host when they are near death, allowing the host to evolve.

But this evolution is limited, with personal potential as the upper limit.

This restriction can basically be ignored for Chu Yang, because for every additional clone, his talent and potential increase.

Another ability of the Hogyoku is to materialize the wishes the host craves in their heart.

Aizen's desire was to break the limits of the Shinigami, which is why the Hogyoku helped him realize this wish, allowing him to obtain the power to break the limits of the Shinigami.

It satisfies what Aizen craves.

It is not that the Hogyoku itself has the ability to break the limits of the Shinigami.

If Chu Yang hopes the Hogyoku will help him fuse the ability "Original Body of Martial Essence," it will achieve this result.

But whether it is Aizen or Chu Yang, the prerequisite for the Hogyoku to realize their thoughts is the possibility of realizing this wish.

Ignoring the conditions and process and directly transforming the result—that is the true power of the Hogyoku.

Naruto Chu Yang said to Magic Chu Yang: "Following your line of thought, the Hogyoku can also fuse technique-type abilities to create a brand-new technique that meets our requirements."

Magic Chu Yang hesitated for a moment and explained: "Theoretically speaking, that is indeed the case, but I am not sure if the Hogyoku can realize multiple wishes at the same time?"

"Aizen only let the Hogyoku help him break the limits of the Hollow and the Shinigami; he didn't ask for more." Naruto Chu Yang sighed, "In other words, if we let the Hogyoku fuse the abilities of Essence, Qi, and Spirit at the same time, its effect might be greatly reduced, or it might even collapse?"

Magic Chu Yang nodded.

Marvel Chu Yang continued: "This conjecture is very likely to be true, but it doesn't matter; Aizen still has an incomplete one in his hands, and if it really comes to it, we can also make one ourselves."

Pirate Chu Yang said: "The Original Body of Martial Essence is the most important; we can wait on the other aspects."

Everyone nodded one after another.

After obtaining everyone's unanimous agreement, Magic Chu Yang reached out and grasped the Hogyoku, attempting to fuse with it, and this time, the fusion process was very smooth.

Subsequently, he attempted to create the Original Body of Martial Essence according to what he had in mind.

Everyone focused their gazes on him, nervous and excited.

Time passed second by second.

When Magic Chu Yang opened his eyes again, a pale golden energy appeared on the surface of his body, somewhat like the Tailed Beast Cloak of the Sage of Six Paths mode, and somewhat like the Indestructible Golden Body.

"Let me feel it!"

Naruto Chu Yang couldn't bear it at all and directly pressed his hand on Magic Chu Yang, starting to synchronize.

A moment later, similar changes appeared on his body too!

"What powerful strength! It's even stronger than the state we had after stacking buffs in the past!"

Naruto Chu Yang's eyes revealed a look of joy.

"True fusion is not as simple as one plus one equals two."

Marvel Chu Yang laughed.

Immediately, he couldn't help but synchronize the ability as well.

The remaining Chu Yangs synchronized one after another, feeling this brand-new power! When Demon Slayer Chu Yang intended to use this power, faint phantoms of the sun and moon appeared behind him, and as he waved his arms, shallow starlight sprinkled down.

"Holy crap, brothers, there are even special effects!"

Demon Slayer Chu Yang was like a child who had received a new toy, constantly showing off in front of the others.

"There is still a lot in this state worth us digging into." Bleach Chu Yang said with satisfaction.

With the Original Body of Martial Essence added to the Shikai 【Fengdu】, Bleach Chu Yang was fully confident in defeating Aizen in his normal state.

Even if Aizen fused with the Hogyoku, Bleach Chu Yang was confident in ensuring his own safety.

The Arrancar had been slow to attack, which had made him restless for a long time, worried that some change would occur that deviated from the plot, but now that was no longer necessary.

Sure enough, strength is the hard truth.

Everyone discussed future plans for a while longer, only to suddenly realize that the mist this time had been slow to arrive.

Magic Chu Yang reminded: "From now on, there may never be mist to take us in and out of the Soul Palace again; instead, we will need to leave on our own."

Thus, Magic Chu Yang walked into the nebula first, and the others followed suit, until the Soul Palace was empty.

When Pirate Chu Yang returned to the Holy Land, people were already holding a grand banquet.

Those different races gathered by Tiger were sitting at the same table with humans, drinking happily.

From now on.

The barriers between races would cease to exist!

Chu Yang walked silently to Tiger's side, sat down, and picked up a glass of rum to drink.

"Where did you go just now?"

Tiger, who was in high spirits, saw Chu Yang return and pulled his arm, wanting to tell everyone.

"Don't be like that; let's just drink quietly."

Chu Yang pulled Tiger directly back to his seat; the other party couldn't resist his powerful strength at all.

"As the hero who overthrew the rule of the Celestial Dragons, do you really not want to say a few words?"

Tiger couldn't understand Chu Yang's thoughts at this moment.

Or perhaps, he was too happy and felt that doing so could release his current emotions.

"Say what? Everyone eat well and drink well?"

"Or, do you want to see them worship me, just like they did to the Celestial Dragons of the past?"

"The old era has passed, Tiger."

Chu Yang's teasing joke made Tiger fall into silence.

"Yang, in my heart, you are a true hero."

Tiger said sincerely.

Chu Yang shook his head with a smile.

A moment later, Dragon and Rayleigh suddenly walked over.

They seemed to know Chu Yang's thoughts and did not make a loud noise, but sat quietly beside Chu Yang.

The four of them surrounded the campfire.

"I never thought that the day Roger spoke of would come so quickly; this completely does not conform to our initial expectations."

Rayleigh's eyes were unfocused, as if he were seeing the past through the campfire.

Chu Yang replied: "Fate changes every moment; there is nothing strange about it."

Rayleigh nodded, agreeing with Chu Yang's statement, then smiled: "If you want to know where Laugh Tale is, I can tell you directly."

Chu Yang, however, refused directly, smiling: "I have no interest in the One Piece; leave it to those fellows in the future who like to explore! Otherwise, this ocean would lose a lot of fun."

Dragon and Tiger also echoed Chu Yang's thoughts one after another.

"The wealth of the Celestial Dragons is enough for us to rebuild this world; as for the One Piece, the One Piece that no one finds is the most valuable One Piece."

"Hahahaha!"

Several people laughed heartily.

"The problem of pirates still needs to be dealt with; we cannot let the ocean continue to be chaotic and threaten the lives of civilians."

"The Navy must exist, and the World Government must also exist, but it must change into a different form."

As a crew member of the Pirate King, Rayleigh chose to remain silent when Chu Yang mentioned pirates.

Although they had always touted pirates as a symbol of freedom, it was precisely the pirates who harmed civilians the most.

No matter how much criticism the Navy received, most of them were still doing their duty and protecting people's safety.

Most pirates are evil, and most navy personnel are righteous; this is the original tone of the world.

The many problems of the Navy, in the final analysis, stemmed from the Celestial Dragons; the Navy's biggest mistake was becoming the lackeys of the Celestial Dragons.

Chu Yang said: "Now the Navy is short-handed and cannot manage the pirates of the whole world; this is caused by us, and it must be handled by us." Dragon said with a firm expression: "Of course, this is the focus of the Revolutionary Army's next work."

Rayleigh was silent for a moment and then spoke: "Pirates cannot be finished off; people's pursuit of desire and their yearning for the ocean will give birth to batch after batch of new pirates."

"Liking adventure is understandable, but it doesn't mean pirates can plunder wantonly." Chu Yang shook his head: "If killing a batch of pirates is not enough, then kill more, keep killing until they have some fear when sailing on the ocean, and know how to respect the lives and wealth of others."

Chu Yang's words were filled with a sense of blood and slaughter, and the incoming killing intent made Rayleigh tremble with fear.

Tiger hurriedly came out to smooth things over, smiling and explaining: "There are also many good guys among pirates who are not bad in the eyes of the public; why don't we think of a more moderate way?"

Dragon nodded: "I agree; among the Revolutionary Army, there are also many comrades who came from pirate backgrounds; they are not evil."

Vegapunk popped out from somewhere, holding a wine glass and swaying, "Otherwise, make piracy a profession and issue corresponding permits; pirates who have attacked civilians will not be able to obtain a permit."

"Pirates without permits can be captured and executed."

"Allow pirates to compete for ownerless treasures, but they cannot own territory and can only make the ocean their home; pirates with permits can stay in cities for a short time."

Vegapunk rattled off a whole bunch; Chu Yang felt it was a bit similar to the Hunters in Hunter x Hunter...

Chu Yang frowned: "There are too many loopholes to exploit; your plan might not be feasible."

Vegapunk chuckled, "New things are always full of loopholes; just fix them slowly. Anyway, the Celestial Dragons are already gone, the world is free, and humans have plenty of time to correct mistakes."

"It's not like we have to kill them all in one go and make this world devoid of fun; how terrible would that be?"

Chu Yang finally nodded in agreement and instructed Vegapunk: "Since it's the method you proposed, you will be the one to fix the subsequent errors and omissions."

Vegapunk wiped his sweat awkwardly, "I still have a lot of research waiting to be done; can we change to someone else..."

Chu Yang sneered: "Just like you said, we have plenty of time."

Vegapunk wailed in his heart; how could someone as smart as him seem to have done something stupid? "We'll talk about the permits later; for now, don't let a single pirate who should be killed go, especially those who took advantage of the chaos to slaughter civilians."

"The World Government and the Navy Headquarters should be restarted as soon as possible; select the five kings with the best reputations from the countries of the world to serve as representatives of the World Government and be responsible for future decision-making."

"I personally recommend King Cobra of Alabasta as one of the representatives."

Chu Yang set the prototype for the future World Government in one breath.

"I recommend Kozuki Hiyori, the Shogun of Wano, to be a representative."

Dragon followed closely and said.

"I... can I recommend King Neptune of Fish-Man Island?" Tiger said somewhat embarrassedly.

Chu Yang smiled and said, "Since they are representatives of the World Government, of course, there must be representatives from races other than humans; for the remaining two seats, it's best to choose other races as well."

Rayleigh laughed loudly, "Calculating it this way, are five spots a bit too few?"

Vegapunk shook his head: "As a decision-making layer, the more people there are, the lower the efficiency will become; the time spent arguing at the conference table would be enough to decide many things."

By the end of the conversation, everyone decided that the remaining two seats would be decided by vote.

"Dragon will be responsible for the Navy for the time being; the person who knows the Navy's situation best right now is Sengoku; you should have a good talk with him, and if he is willing, let him serve as the new Fleet Admiral."

"As for the position of Admiral, regardless of whether Old Man Garp agrees or not, you should just make him sit in it first."

The sky brightened unconsciously.

The Revolutionary Army was still in the joy of victory when they were dispatched by Dragon to clear out the pirates causing trouble all over the world.

To ensure efficiency, Chu Yang sent a Shadow Clone to follow every departing team.

Shadow Clones struggle to deal with the top powerhouses of the pirate world because they disappear as soon as they receive a fatal attack, and the fault tolerance rate is too low.

But dealing with most pirates is like chopping melons and vegetables; these weaklings cannot break through Chu Yang's defenses.

The next day.

Garp and Sengoku met with Dragon in the Fleet Admiral's office.

The death of Imu and the annihilation of the Celestial Dragons were known first by the Navy Headquarters, even earlier than the News Coos, because they were closest to the Holy Land.

Sengoku, covered in bandages, asked in his first sentence what the Revolutionary Army planned to do in the future? Would they take over the power in the hands of the Celestial Dragons and become the new Celestial Dragons themselves? Would they let that hero who defeated Imu become the new god? Sengoku used the greatest malice to speculate on the Revolutionary Army's subsequent actions, because human nature is like this—it cannot withstand the slightest test.

The story of the dragon-slaying boy eventually becoming a dragon is not uncommon.

Dragon calmly stated the content they had discussed last night.

Sengoku was stunned after hearing it.

Garp laughed loudly, "They are not as unbearable as you imagine; they don't look down on the position of King of the World at all."

"You've been given a way out, so just get down quickly and be your Fleet Admiral properly."

Sengoku's old face flushed, and he roared: "Shut up! You clearly wanted to ask these questions too! Now you're pushing it all onto me, you old bastard!"

Garp picked his nose and turned his head to the side, pretending not to hear.

Sengoku sighed and began to speak in the tone of a Fleet Admiral: "Headquarters will try its best to cooperate with you in clearing out pirates, but in terms of manpower, we might disappoint you."

Dragon shook his head: "No need to worry; the Revolutionary Army has enough manpower to clear out pirates; you just need to be responsible for handling the aftermath."

"I also have to trouble you to take people to Impel Down and Enies Lobby."

Sengoku instantly understood Dragon's meaning; he wanted the Navy to deal with those remnants loyal to the Celestial Dragons and show their stance to the whole world.

"No problem, I will lead the team myself!"

Sengoku nodded.

"Haha, old thing, you should just rest! Who are you showing those bandages to? I'll lead the team!"

Garp stood up and took on this task; he had been injured earlier than Sengoku, so naturally, he recovered faster than Sengoku.

"I've refused to be an Admiral for half my life, never thought I'd end up being one now..."

…………

"The Holy Land has been breached?!"

"The Celestial Dragons have been annihilated?!"

"The true master of the Empty Throne, the King of the World, Imu?!"

"The Revolutionary Army is seeking the truth of the Void Century..."

The hand holding the newspaper was trembling wildly; Cobra woke up to find that the whole world had been turned upside down.

"I was still resisting the World Government yesterday; never thought it would end so quickly..."

Cobra's gaze was dull, feeling as if he were dreaming.

From the time he decided to officially break with the Celestial Dragons until now, not even half a month had passed.

"Your Majesty, while you were sleeping, news came from the World Government asking you to go to the Holy Land to attend a meeting."

The butler Igaram reminded him from the side.

Cobra was stunned, "The Celestial Dragons are finished, where is there still a World Government?"

Igaram scratched his head, "It should be a new one..."

Cobra came back to his senses and said in surprise: "The Revolutionary Army has become the World Government? They want to replace them?"

Igaram shook his head hurriedly, "Things are not as you think; you had better communicate with them personally."

Cobra was silent for a long time, then suddenly said: "Bring me my Den Den Mushi."

At the same time.

The whole world knew the news of the annihilation of the Celestial Dragons.

Most people's reactions were the same as Cobra's, having a feeling of being in a dream, unable to believe this was a fact.

There were also some people who intended to take advantage of the chaos to compete for hegemony over the world and were secretly accumulating strength.

However, what would greet them would be the cruel suppression of the Revolutionary Army and the heavy punches from Chu Yang's Shadow Clones.

The Celestial Dragons had not played any positive role in the operation of the world, so after they were annihilated, the whole world did not fall into a state of stagnation for even a second.

It was as if such a group of people had never existed.

The truth of the Void Century, as the Revolutionary Army continued to dig, would be completely revealed to the world one day in the future.

Kingdoms all over the world had received invitations from the new World Government, preparing to attend the first World Council without Celestial Dragons.

On the other side, similar things were happening on Fish-Man Island, but it was Tiger who, as a representative, spoke personally with King Neptune.

Princess Otohime was listening quietly to their conversation from the side, her expression excited.

The dream of so many years now had hope of being realized; the residents of Fish-Man Island could finally go to the real land and touch the real sunlight.

Over the past two years, through Princess Otohime's promotion, the Fish-Men and Merfolk were no longer as hostile to humans as they once were, but there were still some people who were unwilling to go to the land.

The shadow left on Fish-Man Island by humans was not so easy to erase.

Princess Otohime told Tiger about the current situation on Fish-Man Island; after understanding it, the latter smiled and comforted her: "Actually, there is no need for too many people to leave at the beginning, as long as there are people willing to go to the land and willing to pass back what they have seen and heard outside."

"I believe the residents of Fish-Man Island will definitely fall in love with the new era and the new world."

"Real experience is more moving than flowery rhetoric."

King Neptune and Princess Otohime looked at each other, their eyes full of joy, and they agreed with Tiger's statement very much.

"By the way, is there a soldier named Hody Jones in the Royal Guard?"

Tiger asked suddenly.

Neptune was slightly surprised, not understanding why Tiger wanted to mention him, but he still nodded: "That's right, Hody is a very excellent soldier, just like Jinbe."

Tiger shook his head: "He is not the same as Jinbe; this guy is a dangerous character, and I want to take him away."

Neptune was shocked and hurriedly asked: "Why?"

Tiger explained: "He has been in close contact with Vander Decken recently, and his target seems to be Princess Shirahoshi; they know that Princess Shirahoshi has the power to summon Sea Kings."

Neptune, having received the answer, was not relieved but even more shocked, "Tiger, how did you know about this?"

Tiger looked up at the sky and did not answer.

Princess Otohime thought of something and said softly: "Was it the one who defeated the Celestial Dragons who told you?"

Tiger nodded.

Princess Otohime's gaze was firm, "Although there is no substantial evidence, I am willing to believe that hero."

A smile appeared on Tiger's face, "Besides this matter, the World Government also needs Fish-Man Island's help to clear out pirates like Vander Decken."

King Neptune smiled: "Of course, as a king representative, this is my duty."

When Tiger left, he took away the bewildered Hody Jones.

During the time Tiger and Neptune were talking, Jinbe also led a team to clear out Vander Decken.

A few more days passed.

King Neptune and Princess Otohime led a large number of Fish-Man Island residents to the land.

"The last two representatives have been selected; they are Sky Island and the Land of Giants, Elbaf."

Dragon came to the laboratory personally to report the results to Chu Yang.

Chu Yang was a bit surprised and asked: "Sky Island? Elbaf? These two places should rarely have contact with the outside world; why were they chosen?"

Dragon sighed, "It's precisely because they have less involvement with the outside world that they are suitable; other countries, because of the representative matter, have conducted a large number of private transactions, formed cliques, and divided spheres of influence; it was simply chaotic during the meeting."

"If this continues, there will be no results, which is what I don't want to see, so I took the liberty..."

Chu Yang patted him on the shoulder and agreed: "You did very well; it was I who was too idealistic and didn't consider this point; where in the world is there absolute fairness?"

"This is also good; at least the three dimensions of sea, land, and sky are all involved."

Dragon breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as you agree; we have already made contact with Sky Island, and the ruler there calls himself... God; the means of rule are very cruel, which is a bit troublesome."

Chu Yang frowned: "Isn't it Gan Fall?"

"Who is Gan Fall? Never heard of him." Dragon shook his head: "In short, the conditions proposed by the other party are very harsh; observing his behavior and attitude, he has considerable ambition and might cause some trouble in the future."

Chu Yang sneered: "Deal with him directly! Since there is oppression, then it is within the scope of the Revolutionary Army's duties!"

Dragon hesitated: "We have just taken over the power of the Celestial Dragons, and everyone outside is saying that we want to replace them; if we are so tough now, will it cause criticism?"

Chu Yang felt Dragon's thoughts were a bit funny and said bluntly: "We have always been just the Revolutionary Army, not the rulers of the world; we are not now, and we won't be in the future. What does the Revolutionary Army need to worry about when liberating oppressed people?"

"If this newly established World Government becomes an object of oppressing the people in the future, they will likewise be targets that need to be cleared!"

"The Revolutionary Army is not the dragon-slaying boy, but the sword in the boy's hand!"

"The sword hanging over the heads of all tyrants!"
