Laugh Tale

When Vegapunk's research report circulated among his small team and the Revolutionary Army's high command, everyone's attention had completely shifted away from Imu's Black Dragon.

First and foremost, the first thing to do is to find the culprit who extracted the Earth's core energy. At the same time, Vegapunk has also created a large Pocket Dimension. The Revolutionary Army, along with Vegapunk's Umbrella Corporation, robot armies, and the controlled kings, have all begun to modify the space.

The so-called space transformation work involves constantly relocating soil, water, plants, and animals into the space. Fortunately, Vegapunk has already created several nuclear fusion energy spheres, which are placed directly in the sky to serve as the sun.

With the primary space and energy source secured, the construction of the giant ecological park, though fraught with difficulties, was able to proceed with difficulty.

"Based on the location we've determined, the energy of the entire planet's core is being extracted here!"

"But for some reason, we haven't found anything here no matter what!"

Stussy said to Vegapunk with a serious expression that they had already piloted their spaceship to the deepest part of the New World. Although they had determined their location, they still hadn't found anything suspicious here.

"There is a spatial interlayer here... We must be entering it the wrong way. If we come from the sea in a certain way, we can enter this spatial interlayer directly."

"But if you try other directions or other methods, there's simply no way to enter this space!"

Vegapunk carefully examined the sea below, then casually said to Stussy, before tapping the air lightly with his hand.

With a series of sounds like shattering glass, a black Space Gate appeared in the void. After a moment, the space stabilized, and on the other side was the "space that Vegapunk had described as impossible to enter."

Stussy gave Vegapunk a strange look, offering no comment on his perverse sense of humor. Meanwhile, Hancock, who was standing next to Vegapunk, had already entered the space.

Subsequently, everyone entered the space one after another and appeared in the sky above the space.

Surprisingly, the entire interior space appears vast and boundless, completely indistinguishable from the outside world. The originally dark Space Gate disappears without a trace after entering, replaced by an ordinary blue sea and sky.

The only difference is that a square island has appeared on the sea. The island doesn't look very big, with a radius of only a few hundred to a thousand kilometers.

Nearby on the island, there was a pirate ship that looked quite high-tech. Stussy recognized it at a glance; it was a creation of Vegapunk.

"It seems that entering this space requires special means, but leaving doesn't require doing anything. The entire space is completely guarded against from the outside but not from the inside!"

Vegapunk surveyed the space and then concluded that this was a remarkable use of space.

To enter this island from the outside, one either needs to sail in from the sea using a special method, or simply break through space to enter. Conversely, to leave, one only needs to sail towards the outer perimeter.

"This ship... I remember it was a gift for the Straw Hat Pirates! Is this Laugh Tale?"

Stussy examined the small boat carefully and finally confirmed his guess, then couldn't help but speak in surprise.

"That's possible."

Vegapunk made a noncommittal remark, but in reality, he had already made up his mind that this was Laugh Tale. This square island, under the scanning of his Observation Haki and Electromagnetic Force, had revealed its true nature—it was an enormous Poneglyph!

Mountains and valleys are the text of this Poneglyph; soil and plants are the proof of the passage of time on this Poneglyph.

At this moment, Vegapunk couldn't help but recall Dark King Rayleigh's words: the so-called Laugh Tale is itself a massive Poneglyph!

It is a Poneglyphs that only those with the ability to Voice of All Things can decipher.

The group arrived on the island and almost immediately spotted the Straw Hat Pirates.

Vegapunk's consciousness also connected with Shakurokfal, and in an instant, the Straw Hat Pirates' experiences during this period appeared in his mind.

Compared to the original story, the Straw Hat Pirates' voyage this time was undoubtedly much smoother. After all, along Luffy way, all sorts of bosses have been almost completely wiped out by Vegapunk.

Enel on Skypiea, Gecko Moria in the Florian Triangle, Doflamingo in Dressrosa, Charlotte Linlin, and Kaido of the Beasts have all been eliminated by Vegapunk.

After the World Government was forced to confine itself to Mary Geoise, the Navy continued to pursue pirates, but turned a blind eye to pirate crews like the Straw Hat Pirates who had not committed any evil deeds.

Even the underwater Ryugu Castle was missed because the Straw Hat Pirates arrived almost a year early, so they didn't make it in time for the coup. In the end, it was Vegapunk who solved the Fish-Man Island problem.

Of course, given the Straw Hat Pirates' ability to cause trouble, the journey was bound to be anything but peaceful. However, the problems they caused were mostly easily resolved by the enhanced Straw Hat Crew, making the entire voyage a thrilling but ultimately safe one.

In fact, although Vegapunk used Kaido and Charlotte Linlin as experimental materials, he did not take away their Red Poneglyph. Even Nico Robin only looked at the rubbings of the Red Poneglyphs and then lost interest in them.

So in the end, these Poneglyphs remained in Wano Country and Cake Island, and because Kaido and Charlotte Linlin had already been captured, these two Poneglyphs coordinates were no longer valued.

After all, neither Kozuki Hiyori nor Charlotte Katakuri had much interest in becoming the Pirate King; the Poneglyphs were just ordinary collectibles for them.

Therefore, although the Straw Hat Pirates did expend some effort, they obtained the information about the two coordinate Poneglyphs in a far less thrilling way than in the original story.

Then, thanks to Luffy and his crew's incredible luck, they obtained the remaining coordinate Poneglyphs. Using the ship Vegapunk left them, they calculated the exact location of the coordinates and headed directly to Laugh Tale.

However, as the Final Island, Laugh Tale is not an easy place to reach. The Straw Hat Pirates lost their way several times in this area before finally finding the island under Luffy's almost evolved ability to Voice of All Things.

Therefore, the Straw Hat Pirates have only just arrived at Laugh Tale, and their arrival on the island was not much earlier than Vegapunk's.

On Laugh Tale Island, Luffy lay on a raised rock with his arms outstretched, his eyes glazed over, muttering something to himself.

"Seriously, what's wrong with Luffy? He's become like this ever since he came here!"

The one who spoke was a pretty girl with blue hair. At this moment, she looked helplessly at the captain who was currently unconscious.

"It must be because he received some information! After all, our captain was already talking nonsense on the way to Laugh Tale."

The one who spoke was a ninja with a Fish-Man -like face, wearing Akatsuki cloak, who was none other than Kisame, who joined the Straw Hat Pirates midway through the journey.

"I don't care what's wrong with this foolish captain, I just want to ask, where is this so-called Grand Treasure?! This godforsaken place probably can't even find a coin's worth of treasure, can it?"

Also dressed in Akatsuki cloak and a gloomy Kakuzu, Kakuzu spoke up, saying that he had searched the entire Laugh Tale but had not found any treasures here.

Although Kakuzu knew that Laugh Tale was definitely not just a place to hide treasure, as the most famous place in the world to possess the Grand Treasure, it should at least have some gold and silver treasures!

And the result? It was just a Taiseki covered with some soil and plants. Is this the legendary Laugh Tale?

"Alright, Kakuzu, stop with that money-grubbing attitude! Money doesn't really do you any good anyway!"

With a cigarette dangling from his mouth, Sanji said with a hint of helplessness, "After Kakuzu modified, Kakuzu's senses have become extremely numb, so he has no hobbies or interests."

He doesn't smoke, doesn't drink, doesn't like women, doesn't like good food, and has no interest in entertainment. You could say that no matter how much money Kakuzu earns, it won't benefit him at all, because he no longer has the capacity to enjoy life.

All I can say is that making money is this guy's hobby; he enjoys the act of making money, not the money itself.

"What do you know? You'll understand when you get to my age: only money will never betray you..."

"Really? But I'm probably not younger than you, yet I still don't believe that money guarantees happiness... even though I don't have any money. Yohohohohoho!"

Brook, who is just a skeleton, said with a grin that as another form of Immortal Body, this guy is no younger than Kakuzu.

Kakuzu twitched his lips, too lazy to pay attention to this lecherous skeleton who didn't even have a bird and still liked underwear. In his mind, the Straw Hat Pirates were full of Monsters, with hardly any normal people.

Of course, in other people's eyes, this Tentacle Monster who likes to steal other people's hearts and likes to save money even though he doesn't spend any, is actually one of the Monsters.

In the entire pirate crew right now, only Princess Vivi, Crocodile, and Kisame can be considered to be at the bottom line of normal people. The others are more or less a bit eccentric.

"By the way, have you seen that guy with the Green Algae Head?"

Sanji seemed to remember something, and looked at the others, saying:

"That guy seems to have disappeared as soon as he got ashore, right?"

"I didn't see it!"

"Nothing was found!"

"Huh? Zoro disappeared?!"

With a soft sigh, Princess Vivi reached out and stroked Chopper's fluffy head, saying with a touch of helplessness:

"Zoro must be lost again, right? Chopper, when are you going to develop a cure for being directionally challenged?"

"Huh?! So being bad at directions is a kind of illness?!"

Chopper asked in surprise, Usopp replied with a grin:

"Of course! And it's a terminal illness!"

"What?! Zoro has a terminal illness?! What do we do?! What do we do?! Is he going to die?"

Kisame and Kakuzu twitched their lips. No matter how long they stayed on this ship, they could never get used to this style of art!

In the Ninja World, a character like Naruto Uzumaki is already considered the most reckless and brainless. However, if you put Naruto Uzumaki into one of the pirate crews in the Pirate World, he would be a model of a cautious and meticulous person.

If it weren't for the fact that the people in the Pirate World are both incredibly resilient and always possess some kind of unbelievable good luck, these guys would probably have died 800 times over by now.

With a loud thud, Usopp and Chopper covered their heads with tears streaming down their faces, where a red bump the size of a coconut quickly swelled up.

"You two, shut up and stop spouting nonsense!"

A man with a cigar in his mouth and the air of a mafia boss punched the two men and said coldly.

After hearing the man's threat, Usopp and Chopper were so frightened that tears streamed down their faces. They covered their mouths and nodded frantically. Even though Crocodile, the Shichibukai who had always seemed so cold, was now their comrade, they were still quite afraid of him.

Just as the Straw Hat Pirates were fooling around, a Green Algae Head in the distance looked at Vegapunk and his group in astonishment, his face full of shock.

"Who are you? How did you end up in Laugh Tale too!?"

Zoro wouldn't be surprised to encounter other people on any other island, but this is Laugh Tale, the Final Island, where it's almost impossible to suddenly meet outsiders.

Zoro encountered Vegapunk and his crew. Although he wasn't as face-blind as Luffy, he wasn't very good at recognizing people either. In addition, Vegapunk and his crew weren't particularly famous, so he didn't recognize Vegapunk either.

Seeing Zoro looking wary, holding two swords and with another sword in his mouth, Vegapunk waved his hand, and with a whoosh, three swords flew to Vegapunk's front and stuck in the ground. Along with them came a Green Algae Head with a sword hilt in his mouth.

"What kind of ability is this? Why is my knife out of control?"

Zoro, who was dragged over by his own three swords, looked completely bewildered, while Vegapunk stared at him with curiosity.

"Your ability is quite strange! You can talk while holding a knife handle in your mouth!"

"You bastard, are you mocking me?"

Zoro frantically tried to pull out his weapons, but under Vegapunk's Magnetic Field, the three weapons seemed to have merged with the earth, and no matter how he pulled, they were useless.
