Gran Tesoro Secured, the Passage Between Worlds Opens

After a seemingly chaotic and destructive fight, which was actually a rigged match between the two sides, "Tesoro" collapsed to his knees with an expression of disbelief and his entire body charred black.

Well, even the original Tesoro was defeated by Vegapunk in just a few moves, let alone this artificially matured guy, especially since this is a fixed match.

The battle was fierce, with Vegapunk's lightning filling the sky and Tesoro's gold engulfing the earth. Ultimately, due to factors such as the clash of their abilities, Tesoro suffered a crushing defeat...

But in reality, that was just for show. It was to let the other viewers know that the person who dared to covet the Gran Tesoro was indeed a top-tier expert. Through this kind of deterrence, it also prevented some people from thinking that the Gran Tesoro had become an easy target after changing its master.

After Tesoro conceded defeat, the change of ownership of the Gran Tesoro became a matter of course, and with Baccarat's Devil Fruit ability, the Gran Tesoro would naturally not be in any trouble.

A large amount of Beli and gold, the various connections left behind by Tesoro, the intelligence agency belonging to this Gild Tesoro, and a large number of staff controlled by Tesoro...

It took Baccarat about three or four days to sort out the layout of the Gran Tesoro. Meanwhile, her Lucky-Lucky Fruit ability continued to slowly draw on the luck of all the guests in the Gran Tesoro.

After the Lucky-Lucky Fruit Awakening, Baccarat's speed of collecting luck undoubtedly increased dramatically in a very short period of time. Most of the guests in the Gran Tesoro were either rich or noble, so the luck they carried was naturally far beyond that of ordinary people.

Even if Baccarat only slowly extracts the nutrients proportionally, and only extracts half a day, her luck in collecting them is already dozens or even hundreds of times greater than before Awakening.

During this time, Vegapunk also used some blood and body materials provided by Baccarat to create items that indirectly utilized the power of the Lucky-Lucky Fruit.

Baccarat looked somewhat surprised when she saw the gloves Vegapunk was wearing:

"This is the Luck Glove you invented, Doctor? It can be used to store luck?"

"That's right, Baccarat, your Lucky-Lucky Fruit very effective, but in reality, you can't share your luck with others. Therefore, I can only rely on this method to bask in your good fortune!"

The so-called Luck Glove are basically no different from other Devil Fruit items, except that they are Paramecia Devil Fruit items specially made by Vegapunk.

Now, Vegapunk has become quite skilled at creating Paramecia Artificial Devil Fruit, thanks to his research on the successful experimental subject, Kozuki Hiyori. This time, he used the artificial Lucky-Lucky Fruit created by Baccarat and then used Devil Fruit item manufacturing technology to transform it into the Luck Glove.

Theoretically, this glove can be seen as an item that ate Devil Fruit artificial Lucky Fruit, similar to the abilities of Baccarat before its Devil Fruit Awakening, allowing it to absorb the luck of others through contact.

But most importantly, Baccarat's luck cannot be transferred, but the Luck Glove will grant the wearer the luck stored within it. In this respect, the glove is superior to Baccarat in some ways.

"Now, Baccarat, give me some of your luck. This glove's power is uncontrollable; it will drain the luck of anyone who comes into contact with it."

Objects have no self-awareness, so they cannot be controlled. Even Zoan Devil Fruit objects can still possess their own animal instincts. Paramecia Devil Fruit, even when fused with objects, are still inanimate objects. Therefore, the activation of their abilities is very rigid.

Fortunately, there is Baccarat herself, the Devil Fruit User. The Luck Glove obviously cannot drain Baccarat's luck, and can allow Baccarat to inject a portion of the luck she has collected into it.

Otherwise, Vegapunk would have no choice but to absorb the luck of others with tears in his eyes, while he himself would be fine. Those whose luck is drained... well, you can refer to Baccarat's unlucky subordinates.

Baccarat nodded. Through this period of absorption, her luck was now incredibly high. If she used it, it would almost grant her ordinary wish fulfillment. Even if she separated a portion of it, it would still be an extremely large amount of luck.

Having gained this bit of luck, Vegapunk did not hesitate to begin conducting some dangerous experiments, the most important of which was to establish a connection between the Ninja World and the Pirate World.

Despite Vegapunk's apparent inactivity, his various Shadow Clone have been busy on Dream Star with this crucial research project. Although he has gained some confidence, Vegapunk still cannot guarantee the complete safety of this extremely dangerous research.

When Vegapunk was transported to the Ninja World, he knew almost nothing; he was simply taken away by the power within his soul.

The return to the Pirate World relies on the energy of the Dragon Vein. Although Vegapunk provided the coordinates and did a lot of calculations, and it can be said that he has a very thorough understanding of the otherworld travel, he still cannot say that he fully understands everything.

Not to mention this time, Vegapunk's goal is to completely open the passage between the two worlds. Although he has made preparations in both worlds, the consequences of any mistakes would be unimaginable.

Even if the two worlds squeeze each other, it's not impossible for a terrifying mega-disaster to occur. At the very least, it could blow Vegapunk's Research Base to smithereens. Especially since there's no one in the Ninja World, there's no chance for him to rebuild the Research Base.

Therefore, the opportunity to open a passage between the two worlds is basically only once. If it fails this time, the next one will probably have to wait several years or even more than a decade, until Vegapunk's technology level makes another leap forward before it can be done again.

Fortunately, after absorbing Baccarat's luck, none of the things Vegapunk feared most happened.

As a pale purple light shone, an Uzumaki- shaped portal appeared between the two worlds, and a figure emerged from within the portal a moment later.

"Kaguya Otsutsuki!?"

Vegapunk was somewhat surprised, not expecting it to be this person. However, upon closer reflection, Vegapunk that he had planted Human Bomb on her, so it was quite normal for her to be the first to rush over after the interdimensional portal opened, given that she was the most anxious candidate.

When Vegapunk left, the two parallel Ninja World were already connected, so it was quite normal for Princess Kaguya Otsutsuki to appear.

Emerging from the spatial Uzumaki was a stunningly beautiful woman with a blonde, curvaceous figure. As soon as she stepped out of the Space Gate, she almost immediately threw herself at Vegapunk.

"Vegapunk, I miss you so much!"

This performance definitely indicates that the young Tsunade from Parallel World has become completely loyal to Vegapunk after being subjected to Hancock's Limited Tsukuyomi.

He gently patted Tsunade, signaling her to leave. Soon after, Orochimaru, Suikazan Fuguki, Pakura, Mei Terumi, Yakushi Nonō, and their group all came out at the same time.

"Is this the world where you, Dr. Vegapunk, were born? It feels so strange; there isn't even any Natural Energy outside!"

Orochimaru, who had already transformed into a sage, reached out and rummaged around, feeling that there was no energy in the air at all, and couldn't help but frown.

Vegapunk's research on the Sage had long been completed. Orochimaru even obtained some of the flesh and blood of the White Snake Sage from Ryūchi Cave, made it into Zoan Devil Fruit, and ate it, greatly improving his own aptitude.

Orochimaru's current level of Senjutsu training is no less than that of those Animal Sages. When he was in the Ninja World, he was constantly communicating with Natural Energy, and his lifespan could reach several thousand years.

But once he arrived in the Pirate World, he felt the omnipresent Natural Energy dissipate, and he even seemed to be under some kind of slight suppression.

Even in the air of the Pirate World, there is a certain amount of Sea Stone Factor. Most Devil Fruit User are already familiar with this slight suppression, and only Orochimaru, who comes from another world and is extremely sensitive, can sense it.

Orochimaru silently estimated that if he were in this world, his lifespan would be reduced by at least ten times compared to the Ninja World. He could have lived for thousands of years, but in this world he might only live for a few hundred years.

Of course, whether it's thousands of years or hundreds of years, it's a long time for Orochimaru. He doesn't really care about wasting a little bit of his lifespan right now; he can just change his body when the time comes.

On the contrary, the new world, new rules, new technology... for Orochimaru, a mad scientist with a curious personality, the Pirate World is a huge treasure.

Just look at Vegapunk. After traveling to the Ninja World, his technology tree advanced by several decades, and he even obtained Chakra, a black box technology. In some aspects, his progress was far beyond what normal technological development could achieve.

Similarly, when Orochimaru arrived in the Pirate World, he could easily improve his level by combining some of the unique technologies and Devil Fruit abilities of that Pirate World with his own.

"This world does not have Natural Energy, nor does it have ninjutsu or Chakra, but it does have unique abilities called Devil Fruit and a training system called Haki."

"The Haki cultivation system is simple and crude, and it has little effect on technological development, but the abilities of Devil Fruit are varied and bizarre. If used well, even an ordinary researcher can make amazing research."

Well, for example, a Devil Fruit User eats garbage and develops Memory Metal —that's a result of Devil Fruit ability that's just too overpowered...

Fortunately, this Devil Fruit User the Gluttony Fruit is now under Vegapunk's command and is working hard to develop his abilities for Vegapunk's sake.

"Interesting! After hearing what you said, Doctor, I'm even more interested now!"

Orochimaru licked his lips, a smile creeping onto his face.

Vegapunk frowned slightly, looking at Orochimaru was emanating a strange aura. It felt like some kind of soul transfer technique, but it was also different...

"You... you didn't fuse, did you?"

As if struck by a sudden thought, Vegapunk asked in surprise. Upon hearing Vegapunk's question, Orochimaru's face immediately broke into a smile:

"Not bad, the fusion of the two selves feels great. I am now far beyond my original abilities. Whether it is intelligence, Chakra, or my natural talent, I have made tremendous progress!"

With a bang, Vegapunk had to admit that Orochimaru was truly ruthless when it came to madness! Two Orochimaru from Parallel World Soul Fusion into one through the Reincarnation Technique —just what kind of monster was this?

As he thought about it, Vegapunk looked at Orochimaru with a somewhat burning gaze. This was truly an extremely rare experimental case!

Orochimaru ignored the gaze, while Tsunade gently nudged Vegapunk, revealing a slightly resentful expression.

Vegapunk chuckled and waved his hand. Then, the doors inside the base opened, and Vegapunk led them out.

"This is Wano Country in the Pirate World of One Piece. In terms of customs, it is very similar to your world. There are even ninjas in this world, but they don't have the ability to breathe water and fire like you."

"The Ninja World is peaceful now. Those ninjas who like adventure and battle can be sent here. The Pirate World is much more chaotic than your world."

"That's great! There are indeed many ninjas in the Ninja World who are not used to their current lives, and minor conflicts often occur. If it weren't for the Chakra Illusion Network suppressing them, the situation would probably be even worse. It would be best to have a new mission location!"

Pakura immediately spoke with a smile. What she said was true. Although there were various reasons for the Ninja World War, most ninjas also longed for peace.

However, there is indeed a small group of ninjas who are naturally accustomed to walking on tightropes, seeking thrills between life and death. In the peaceful Ninja World, with the suppression of the Chakra Illusion Network, these ninjas are so Tenten repressed that they are almost becoming perverts.

Yes, the Chakra Illusion Network is constantly improving and evolving, and now it even has some ability to monitor psychological emotions. The group of Vegapunk's subordinates in front of us are undoubtedly all privileged dogs, and after reviewing the data, they all have some understanding of this situation.

"Even without forcing them, if we just issue a mission, our Sea Ninja Village can probably mobilize several thousand ninjas. It's hard to say how many more they could get!"

Mei Terumi has also come to Vegapunk's side. She has now basically become the second-in-command of the Sea Ninja Village. In fact, because Suikazan Fuguki rarely gets involved, most of the power is still in her hands.

"If the entire Ninja World is willing to come here to carry out dangerous missions, we can probably gather ten or twenty thousand people. That should be enough, since the ninjas who have this idea are generally quite strong and mostly belong to the Jonin rank."

Finally, Tsunade added a sentence, which Vegapunk listened to with considerable satisfaction, nodding in approval.
