Plans and the East Blue

Early morning, inside the Castle Keep of the Flower Capital.

Vegapunk, with a rosy complexion and radiant appearance, was introducing the women from the Ninja World to Kozuki Hiyori.

After last night's massive battle between everyone in both worlds, introducing the story today is actually a bit easier.

Kozuki Hiyori herself is not a difficult or unreasonable person. Most people in the Pirate World, regardless of whether they are righteous or evil, have relatively simple personalities. Moreover, everyone had been honest with each other yesterday and had gotten to know each other well, so it was easy for her to accept Tsunade and the others.

After all, it could be considered a win-win situation for the ninjas from the Ninja World to come to Wano Country. Wano Country is rich in resources, but due to the oppression of the Beasts Pirates in the past, the samurai class has almost been broken down. When faced with dangers such as thieves or mutated animals, those villages have almost no resistance.

Having these ninjas temporarily fill the mid-level combat position will indeed make things much easier for Wano Country.

Not to mention that even now, there are still some arrogant pirate crews who want to come to Wano Country to plunder. Although most of them were eliminated at the Great Waterfall, a small number of them still managed to get into Wano Country.

These pirates, who were able to survive in the New World and even cross the natural barriers surrounding Wano Country, were not particularly strong, but they were certainly not weak either.

Sending Kozuki Hiyori and the Nine Red Scabbards into action might seem like using a cannon to kill a mosquito, but besides them, there aren't many other people available in Wano Country.

With the help of a large number of ninjas, there's no need to worry about pirates with bounties below 300 million anymore.

"Okay, honey, are you done talking to them?"

Hancock yawned, her perfect body seemingly glowing with a jade-like light, and embraced Vegapunk in front of her.

"Why all this rambling, honey? You don't need to build a ninja village here."

Feeling the softness behind him, Vegapunk leaned back slightly and rolled his eyes:

"Alright! This is the first time we've connected. I don't think we'll have so many trivial matters in the future. Besides, our plan is almost ready to proceed. Now that so many ninjas have arrived, they'll be great help to our plan."

"The plan can proceed?! We can now target the World Government?"

Hancock's expression was somewhat excited. Not only her, but all the women in the room from the Pirate World had a change in expression. Even the beauties like Baccarat, Kozuki Toki, Nami, Carina, who were still drowsy due to their physical condition, instantly became much more awake.

Seeing so many beautiful women of different appearances and scantily clad attire looking at him at the same time, Vegapunk was slightly unable to control himself. He took a breath and then spoke:

"Now that the two spaces are connected, we can extend the Chakra Illusion Network directly through the Space Tunnel..."

"Originally, the people in the Pirate World did not have Chakra, but this can be completely assimilated by the Chakra Seed created by the people in the Pirate World Ninja World. I believe that not many people would refuse such a magical power Chakra."

Vegapunk is a true local tyrant in the Ninja World, able to mobilize the power of the entire Ninja World.

Creating Chakra Seed also requires a certain level of skill; it generally requires Chakra at the Jonin level to do so.

After Vegapunk's advance, both Ninja World could probably gather around 100,000 Jonin, totaling 200,000 Jonin- level ninjas. At a rate of 200,000 Chakra Seed produced daily, it wouldn't take too long to assimilate the entire Pirate World.

Especially in the Pirate World, even the physical and mental potential of ordinary people surpasses that of the Ninja World; almost everyone has the potential to Jonin.

It can be said that once this assimilation begins, it will increase exponentially in the shortest possible time. In a month or two at most, the Chakra Illusion Network of the Pirate World can be spread out.

"With the Genjutsu Network, many things become much easier. We don't even need to get involved; we can incite those Affiliated Nation to attack the World Government!"

"Of course, before that, the clones we've prepared can also be used!"

The clones Vegapunk refers to are clones of kings or nobles in the Pirate World. Long ago, Vegapunk extracted enough DNA from those kings and nobles who had little power through mechanical insects and the like.

Dream Star then carried out the cloning directly. This task didn't even require Vegapunk's intervention; he simply gave the order, and the Quantum Brain automatically collected DNA to create clones and began freezing them.

Having been in the Pirate World for almost a year, the clones have long been created. The only problem is that replacing them one by one would be too troublesome and time-consuming. However, with so many ninja subordinates now, completing this task is much easier.

"Should we directly use clones to replace the kings of those Affiliated Nation and then secretly launch a counterattack against the World Government? No, it should be a warm-up period first... It will probably be synchronized with the expansion of the Chakra Illusion Space!"

Nico Robin sat up with a yawn, ignoring the glimpse of her cleavage revealed as the sheets fell back down. After stretching, she looked intently at Vegapunk and began to analyze.

"Yes, that's the plan."

Vegapunk nodded and looked at Nico Robin:

"Robin, is there anything else you'd like to add?"

Robin smiled and nodded, stood up, nestled beside Vegapunk, and said:

"In that case, how about finding a partner? Like the Revolutionary Army or something!"

"First, we'll strengthen the Revolutionary Army with Chakra, then provide them with some powerful weapons. This way, the chaos in both the Affiliated Nation and the World Government will help our plan proceed."

"The chaos in the Affiliated Nation can replace those kings sooner, and the Revolutionary Army may not be a match for the World Government, but at least it can test their cards."

Revolutionary Army? Vegapunk stroked his chin. Back when he first left the Pirate World, he was truly open to all comers, whether it was the Four Emperors, the World Government, or the Revolutionary Army. He had interacted with almost everyone.

Of course, most of the communication with the Revolutionary Army was actually conducted by Nico Robin. In the original work, the Revolutionary Army regarded Nico Robin as a mentor or guide, so the relationship between the two sides was actually quite good.

The reason Robin brought the Revolutionary Army into the fray this time might sound like they were just scapegoats and fodder for criticism, but in reality, the relationship between the Revolutionary Army and the World Government was already irreconcilable, so attracting criticism was irrelevant.

On the contrary, if they could obtain a supernatural system like Chakra, the entire Revolutionary Army's strength would increase by one level, and they would have a better chance of confronting the Navy head-on. In this case, the Revolutionary Army would definitely be more than happy.

"That makes some sense. Then I'll leave the Revolutionary Army aspect to you, Robin."

"Hmm... Tsunade, go and select 1,000 ninjas who can condense Chakra Seed and have them follow Robin's orders."

The minimum level for condensing Chakra Seed is Jonin. Ninjas on the edge of this level can condense about 3 to 5 Chakra Seed a day. Of course, for some ninjas with abnormal Chakra seeds a day.

However, in the current Ninja World, apart from Vegapunk's direct subordinates, there are probably no monster ninjas of this caliber. The strongest ninja can only condense a thousand or so Chakra Seed at most in a day.

Subordinates like Tsunade and Orochimaru certainly wouldn't be idly gathering Chakra Seed for fun, so the number of ninjas mobilized was calculated based on the maximum limit.

The thousands of ninjas provide at least 3,000 Chakra per day. Although the Revolutionary Army is spread Four Seas, the number of true hardcore members is not large. Most of them are subordinates developed in various Affiliated Nation.

The true elites who would travel to various countries to commit crimes and instigate revolutions probably number no more than 50,000.

It would take about ten days for 1,000 ninjas to strengthen all the Revolutionary Army elites. The remaining soldiers from various countries who had automatically started their revolutions could be strengthened by these Revolutionary Army elites themselves by condensing Chakra Seed.

After all, if the scope of the Revolutionary Army is broadened, then when these guys start a rebellion in every country, those who join can be called the Revolutionary Army. If you calculate it that way, the number of members of the Revolutionary Army would probably be in the millions!

Without such a great threat, the World Government and Affiliated Nation would not be so wary and fearful of them, and the Revolutionary Army leader would not be known as the world's most vicious criminal.

However, with such a large number of people, it's unrealistic to expect thousands of ninjas to gather Chakra Seed to strengthen them Tenten.

Moreover, those peripheral Revolutionary Army are mostly locals from their respective countries, and it's unlikely that they would run off with the real Revolutionary Army. So, apart from stabilizing their own countries, they are unlikely to participate in revolutionary activities.

Once the elite members of the Revolutionary Army possess Chakra, the Revolutionary Army can decide for itself whether or not to provide Chakra Seed to its peripheral members.

"Thank you very much, boss."

Nico Robin smiled and gave Vegapunk a light kiss on the cheek.

She knew perfectly well that the main reason Vegapunk was taking the Revolutionary Army's affairs so seriously was because of her.

Otherwise, the Revolutionary Army's existence would be dispensable; for tasks like intelligence gathering, the uprisings in the Affiliated Nation would likely force the World Government to reveal its true intentions.

For Vegapunk, the only thing he lacks right now is the World Government's intelligence and trump cards. In terms of conventional combat power, the World Government is absolutely outmatched.

Moreover... Vegapunk had already sent out the people who could truly discover the World Government's trump cards long ago.

Just as Nico Robin and Tsunade arrived at the Revolutionary Army Headquarters on Baltigo with thousands of ninjas, a certain leader of the Revolutionary Army had already left and secretly headed to the East Blue.

Two or three months have passed since Luffy and Vegapunk parted ways, and in that time, the entire East Blue has been turned upside down by this Straw Hat.

After Vegapunk attacked the World Government, the Four Seas were swept away. Even the Navy originally stationed in the Four Seas received support from headquarters, which almost raised their strength to a whole level.

In this situation, even the so-called overlord of the East Blue Krieg, had long since become food for the fish in the sea. Apart from a certain clown with lucky-colored Haki, the pirate crews that Luffy encountered in the East Blue were all wiped out before he even saw a shadow of them.

There are only a handful of pirate crews in the entire East Blue. Under these circumstances, Luffy, a pirate who suddenly set sail, naturally stands out. Not to mention, Luffy's strength is far beyond what ordinary pirates can match.

In this situation, after being defeated several times, the Navy chasing Luffy received more and more warships with increasing strength, and eventually even the Marine Vice Admiral in charge of the East Blue was dispatched.

However, Luffy himself had already accumulated a lot of experience through Vegapunk's training, and after actual combat, his strength improved by leaps and bounds, and he quickly found several crew members.

Vegapunk left behind Training Pod on Luffy's ship specifically for physical training and Genjutsu pod for Awakening and cultivating Haki.

Therefore, the crewmates that Luffy gathered also benefited from this, making rapid progress in a short period of time and defeating countless Marines.

In the last two days, Luffy and his crew finally arrived at Loguetown, the last town in the East Blue leading to the entrance to the Grand Line, which is also the Loguetown where the journey begins and ends.

"Is this Loguetown just ahead? We've finally arrived at the end of the East Blue!"

Carrying three swords and sporting Green Algae Head, Zoro looked at the town ahead with a serious expression and slowly began to speak.

"Do you think we were lost at sea for a month? If it weren't for you, you idiot, recklessly maneuvering the ship and changing the autopilot route, we would have been here long ago!"

The blond, curly-browed cook and the Long Nose sniper both looked utterly devastated and shouted loudly.

Perhaps because they were shouting too loudly, a long head stretched out and spoke:

"Sanji, I'm hungry. Did you make anything to eat?"

"And you, you damned captain!"

Sanji grabbed the head that was being thrust in front of him and shook it angrily:

"You glutton have already eaten all the food! How dare you say you're hungry in front of me!"

"If you hadn't almost eaten all the supplies on our ship, we wouldn't have had to scrimp and save for so many days!"

In the end Luffy was so dizzy from being shaken that he lay limp on the deck like a marshmallow. As for the Green Algae Head swordsman, knowing he was in the wrong, he didn't try to be cool at this critical moment and silently hid back in the cabin.
