Dreamland Kingdom

Three months have passed in the blink of an eye, World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament is about to begin, with the Dreamland Kingdom becoming the center of the vortex.

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm saying, is it really okay for us to just swagger around on enemy territory like this? What if a bunch of pirates suddenly rush out and tear us to pieces the next minute?" Usopp asked, shrinking back and looking around nervously.

"Idiot, with that shifty look of yours, it's obvious you have something wrong with your mind. Can't you just walk normally for once?" Zoro said speechlessly.

"I know it's wrong to do this, but I just can't control myself. Why don't you knock me out and carry me away, Zoro?" Usopp felt his legs trembling; there were enemies all around him.

"Get lost!" Zoro said irritably. "By the way, Luffy..."

However, before he could finish speaking, he saw Luffy's eyes sparkle as he ran forward. "Wow! It's a robot, that's so cool!"

"That idiot! Wasn't he all bitter and vengeful before he came? How long has it been..." Zoro felt utterly exhausted. It was truly unfortunate to have such a captain.

"Forget it, Zoro, you know Luffy's personality. If he could resist seeing something so novel, he wouldn't be Luffy. Actually, even I'm having trouble telling if we're in the real world or in a dream world." Nami looked at the towering buildings and bustling traffic around her and wondered if she had traveled to the future.

"Indeed, I've heard from others that the islands that Nightmare used to create this continent five years ago were all barren lands back then. I never expected that in just five years, they would have developed into this!"

Zoro felt a little heavy-hearted. The outside world called this place "the Destruction Continent" and "the blood-red dream," considering it synonymous with barbarity and slaughter. Yet, the faces around him seemed to radiate a faint glow of happiness, and even displayed a proud sense of superiority when facing them, the outsiders. He could hardly believe his eyes.

"I say, let's follow Luffy first. If he causes trouble here, we're really doomed!" Seeing that Zoro and Nami seemed to be immersed in the science fiction atmosphere around them, Usopp couldn't help but urge them on.

"Yes, you're right!" Zoro and Nami exchanged a glance and nodded in agreement. They never doubted Luffy's ability to cause trouble.

In other places, it wouldn't matter; I could just Luffy once. But this is Nightmare's stronghold. It's no exaggeration to say that it's full of powerful people. Even a strong person like Rayleigh would never dare to cause trouble here.

"Ah!!!"

A sharp scream shattered the peaceful scene on the street, making Zoro and the others' hearts leap into their throats. Could it really be Luffy?

With that in mind, the three of them quickly ran in the direction where Luffy had been.

"Hehehe, I didn't expect to get a Devil Fruit so easily. It seems that this so-called Crimson Dream is nothing special after all!"

As the three were speeding along, they suddenly heard a piercing laugh that sounded like a duck's quack. Looking up, they saw a disgusting-looking long-tongued monster floating in mid-air, laughing triumphantly.

"We saw this person in Rayleigh's dream last time. I think his name was Wet-Haired Caribou. He's Logia Swamp-Swamp Devil Fruit User and one of the Supernovas who just entered the New World this year," Zoro quickly recalled.

"Judging from the discussions around us, it seems he stole the Devil Fruit that appeared at the auction. Is this guy crazy? He actually caused trouble on Nightmare's territory!" Nami said in disbelief. How did such an idiot become Supernovas?!

"Phew, thank goodness it's not Luffy. Wait, we'd better hide. What if this guy recognizes us and we get mistaken for accomplices?" Usopp said "cautiously."

"Intruders detected, intruders detected..." Suddenly, four anthropomorphic mechanical creatures appeared on the street, their mouths emitting electronic synthesized voices from time to time.

Like a pillar stabilizing the sea, their arrival suddenly silenced the bustling street, and everyone's face showed an expression of extreme excitement.

Zoro and his two companions also looked grave, whispering, "Is this the city's defense force? Let this idiot test the city's true strength for us."

"Huh? What are these stupid machines for? Never mind, attack them first, Mud Machine Gun!" A cruel smile appeared on Caribou's face, as if he could already see these robots being dismembered.

Bang bang bang!

The mud clods, as sharp as bullets, hit the robot and were instantly deflected without even a dent. This made Caribou's eyes widen, and he felt a chill run down his spine.

"Violent robbery, vandalism, and assault on police officers—three crimes combined—the final charge is death. Execution now!" Crimson light flashed in the eyes of the four robots, and they all raised their right hands, terrifying energy fluctuations beginning to gather.

"Rotating Energy Sword!"

Before Caribou could even react, he was blasted into pieces by the high-speed energy sword. The next moment, countless pieces of mud reassembled, but the reborn Caribou still looked shocked. Luckily, he was Logia Devil Fruit User, otherwise he would have really been blown to bits!

The thought of being Logia Devil Fruit User gave Caribou a surge of confidence, and he arrogantly declared, "Hehehe, I'm a Logia Swamp-Swamp Devil Fruit User, not someone like you piece of junk can handle. Now, it's Caribou's turn to wreak havoc!"

To everyone's surprise, the crimson light in the four robots' eyes did not dissipate, and the mechanical voice sounded again, "The target is Logia Devil Fruit User. Conventional attack methods are useless. Change the battle plan. Super missile, launch!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the chests of the four robots opened, and two missiles flew out from each of them, quickly heading towards Caribou was still laughing triumphantly in mid-air.

"Hehehe, I thought it would be some earth-shattering attack, but it's just cannonballs!" Caribou remained unfazed by the robots' next attack. "Now you'll understand the power of Logia-type Fruit, Mud Forbidden Land!"

Caribou transformed into a swamp, sweeping in like a tidal wave, threatening to completely engulf the city.

Faced with that awe-inspiring swamp, the eight missiles seemed insignificant, like a few tiny insects plunging into the ocean.

Boom!

The violent release of energy quickly tore apart the swamp in the sky.

"How many times do I have to tell you before you understand that this kind of attack is detrimental to nature... Ah!"

Suddenly, Caribou let out a heart-wrenching scream, his voice filled with pain and despair.

"Why are there sea towers..."
