Zhonghua Martial Arts: No Good Men

"A grand adventure!! Hehehe~~"

"Heh, I'm also quite interested in this country full of samurai~~"

"Hmph, you actually said Ace is already... I don't want to take you guys out for fun!!"

Looking at the two 'allies' who seemed to be on a sightseeing trip, and the sulky little girl in front of him, Trafalgar Law felt a sharp pain in his chest. Indeed, teammates are lifelong enemies...

"That's it, they're now in your hands."

That's all nonsense!

"The White Knight are in charge, so what about you?"

Guided by Roman's white doves, Trafalgar Law, having discovered Roman's arrival, grabbed Roman as he turned to leave. No wonder he'd rushed over so quickly; it was so that he could:

Being a nanny?!

"I heard there's a well-organized resistance group called 'Bad People' here, and I'm going to make contact with them."

Now that he had a clear destination, Roman was going to check out who those "Bad People" were first—he couldn't possibly run into Yuan Tiangang, could he?

"Don't worry, you just need to make sure Luffy doesn't get knocked down by a single blow."

Although Roman believed that Luffy, now Advanced Armament Haki, Future Sight, and Conqueror's Haki Entwine, wouldn't be easily Luffy by a single "Thunder Bagua" attack and end up in jail, it was still Roman's style to have a backup plan. While Law's Op-Op Fruit wouldn't affect top-tier fighters Kaido, it would be more than enough to allow Luffy and his Luffy to escape.

"And you don't need to worry about Luffy and Zoro causing trouble, because in my plan they were originally just bait..."

!

Is it really okay to use your own captain as bait?

However, considering Luffy's temper, Trafalgar Law figured he'd probably do the same thing if he were in Roman's position. Since he couldn't stop Luffy from causing trouble, he might as well use them as open targets to draw enemy fire...

"Very good, I understand."

"That's right, that's how Law and Luffy should be used!"

Seeing the two 'highly educated' pirates exchanging knowing smiles, Usopp secretly wiped away a cold sweat. "Scholars really are all wicked..." Meanwhile Luffy and Zoro, already dressed in traditional Wano Country attire, couldn't wait to step outside and experience the exotic locales.

"Then that's Luffy, Zoro, Trafalgar Law, Tama will be the bait."

?!

The Tengu Swordsmith nearby were stunned. Were these people from the outer sea using some kind of 'secret code'...?

After the 'bait' team left, Roman calmly assigned tasks to Sanji and the others.

"Next is Udon, located east of our location in Kuri. Sanji will use his Raid Suit to infiltrate, while Jinbe will go upstream along the river to find the place where the skilled fighters are imprisoned and mark it down..."

Sanji and Jinbe are both very reliable when they act alone, and Roman is very reassured to entrust this mission to them.

If it were Luffy and Zoro... they'd probably start fighting halfway through or just disappear from sight.

"The rest of you, prepare for battle. After Luffy causes a huge disturbance, we'll decide whether to Luffy him or attack Udon directly..."

After assigning tasks to everyone, Roman found a sofa and sat down. Then:

Close your eyes,

Call out--

A white dove flew at a speed that even a falcon couldn't match, its sharp eyes sweeping across the land below, doubly polluted by factory chimneys and sewage pipes, until more and more peach blossoms appeared before its eyes, and a large cluster of buildings came into view:

The houses were neatly arranged, and there were fertile fields, beautiful ponds, mulberry trees, and bamboo groves. The paths crisscrossed, and the sounds of chickens and dogs could be heard everywhere.

What a paradise!

Zhonghua Town

White doves alighted on the massive stone archway, its numerous gaps and cracks, along with the varying shades of red, all telling tales of past battles. But beyond this weathered archway lay a peaceful and prosperous town, its people dressed in flowing robes and high-tied hats, reminiscent of the grandeur of the Tang Dynasty...

"Tsk, although... but, this is just too incongruous..."

Just as the white dove perched on the archway was cooing to itself, a huge shadow enveloped it. Five black fingers, shaped like eagle claws, silently descended. The solid stone archway was as utterly defenseless as tofu in its hands. After the five fingers passed by, several smooth, deep scratch marks were immediately left behind!

But:

"Hey, hey, hey, a surprise attack or something..."

Facing the white dove hovering in front of him, the tall attacker in black clothes and pants spread his arms, instantly transforming them into huge wings that suddenly opened! Without saying a word, he charged towards the white dove again, his wings covered in Armament Haki like two rows of sharp, Great Grade Swords attacking from both sides at the same time!

"Eagle Transformation Thirteen Styles - Flesh and Blood Fly!"

"Hey, hey, hey, you've wandered onto the wrong set, haven't you? And—"

Brush,

In an instant, the white dove swelled into a fluttering sheet of white paper, then transformed into Roman's figure. He swayed like a willow catkin, dodging the opponent's sharp claws, and simultaneously thrust his hands forward, landing them on the opponent's shoulders! A surging, domineering Haki penetrated through the iron feathers that had materialized from the opponent's body, seeping into his shoulder blades.

Bang!

The enormous black bird crashed down beneath the signboard, pinning Roman down from behind and preventing him from even exclaiming.

"Isn't this the 'Bird-Bird Fruit - Eagle Form'? What 'Thirteen Forms of Eagle Transformation'...?"

Do you also want to challenge the Turkic warrior?

Call out--

Just as Roman pinned his opponent to the ground, an arrow shot towards Roman from afar. The arrow blazed with fire, engulfing everything in its path in flames. Its trajectory was like that of a fiery phoenix taking flight, following the path of the arrow itself. One could even hear the long, drawn-out whistling sound of a phoenix's cry echoing through the air—

Because the arrows traveled far faster than the speed of sound, the attackers' voices only came after the arrows had already completely engulfed Roman.

"Phoenix Dances in the Nine Heavens!"

That's right, the arrows just now weren't a single one, but nine in a row! Amidst the thunderous explosions, like heavy artillery bombarding the ground, the girl who had leaped over sneered as she looked at the large black bird lying on the ground in the gaps left by the arrow explosions she had deliberately created.

"Haha~~ That 'Sky-Soaring Falcon to the sky' lying on the ground is really outrageous—"

"Careful!!"

?

"Hey, are you sure you didn't wander onto the wrong film set?"

A hand landed on the archer girl's shoulder, and a powerful, domineering Haki crushed her nerves and muscles, leaving her frozen in place.

"Advanced Flowing Cherry Haki, no! It should be Armament Haki Unleashed..."

Good, finally I hear words that don't sound so out of place.

Faced with the girl's exclamation, Roman nodded to himself. If she suddenly said, "Such powerful internal energy," he really wouldn't know how to react.

"You must be the 'Bad People,' right? Let me guess~~"

Roman's gaze fell on the burly man in front of him who had stood up and reverted to human form, his face covered by a black veil. "Since your nickname is 'Sky-Soaring Falcon,' then you must be 'Tian Fu Xing' among the Thirty-Six Heavenly Spirits? As for you—"

Looking at the girl who was immobilized by his Haki, Roman tilted his head and thought for a moment.

"You can't possibly be 'Tian Ying Xing', can you?"

"Hey, what do you mean 'it's impossible'! Are you underestimating me? Let me go if you dare, or I'll shoot you full of holes—"

Tsk, the weapon wasn't big, but the tone was quite arrogant.

With your skills, it's hard to say who would riddle whom with bullets between us.

"Let me make this clear first. I am not your enemy; I am here to negotiate."

"I have something to discuss with your leader. Please inform him. What do you think?"

As Roman spoke, three more figures silently appeared around the plaque: a general wielding a golden spear and clad in gleaming silver armor; a scholar with a jade pendant at his waist and a folding fan gently waving; and a martial arts master, unarmed and dressed in simple cloth robes...

If it weren't for the fact that their art style was clearly biased towards this world, Roman would have suspected that the Straw Hat crew had traveled to some other world.

"... You're not Devil Fruit user from the Beasts Pirates?"

Fortunately, the conversation turned out to be quite normal.

"Of course not, it's Kaido are enemies, so—"

"Then please return, sir. We will not participate in the war in Wano Country."

?!

"Don't you care even if this place is completely destroyed?"

Faced with the spear-wielding general's flat refusal, Roman frowned and asked in return. He knew that when masters clashed, the collapse of heaven and earth was commonplace. Destroying a country like Wano Country wasn't impossible, for example:

Kaido used his ability to lift Onigashima up and throw it towards Wano Country, pulling off Meteorite Falls from the Sky.

"Wano Country? What does it have to do with us?"

The general, clad in golden spear and silver armor, wore a cold expression, while the others were far less indifferent.

"Wait! You guys from out to sea—"

The girl, who was being held captive by Roman with one hand, panicked.

"If you want to fight, go to Onigashima. We're here..."

"Enough, Melody!"

The general, wielding a golden spear and wearing silver armor, clearly held a much higher position; a single rebuke silenced the archer girl. At the same time, he raised his spear, aiming it at Roman.

"If you have nothing else to say, release our men and get them out of Zhonghua Town, otherwise—"

The three newly appeared people, along with the large black-masked man from before, leaned forward slightly to surround Roman. Armament Haki began to cover their fingers, folding fans, and fists, clearly indicating that they were all experts at the level of Yonko crew executives!

"Hey, I have a 'hostage' in my hands."

Despite Roman's villainous remarks, the general with the golden spear and silver armor showed no change in expression.

"If one's skills are inferior, one naturally concedes defeat. It seems that the selection of the next generation of 'Tian Ying Xing' needs to begin."

"They talk a tough game, but in reality—"

Before he could finish speaking, the ground where Roman stood suddenly exploded, and at the same time, a longsword thrust upwards! The pitch-black longsword, also covered in Haki, was silent, like a phantom or a streak of light. Roman, as the target, could clearly sense that if the Haki on the longsword were to erupt in an instant, it would be enough to blast a fortress into a million holes.

Yes, as expected of a force that can stand firm even under Kaido's nose, everyone here has some skills, and:

"Xiao Qia has succeeded, kill him!!"

Taking advantage of the moment Roman was caught off guard and released the archer girl 'Melody', everyone present swarmed forward! Unlike the other 'experts' on the high seas who lined up to deliver their heads, Roman rolled his eyes.

I never imagined I'd one day enjoy the kind of BOSS treatment where you say, "No need to follow the rules with this evil cult, brothers, charge in together!"...

"Heavenly Frost Fist!"

?

"Wind God Leg!"

?!

Facing the seemingly single punch that had actually been delivered dozens of times in an instant, with countless afterimages of fists overlapping, the cloth-robed martial artist roared and attacked Roman.

At the same time, a series of cannonball-like icy fists shot out from the opponent's fists, dense as a sudden rain, fast as a meteor, carrying a booming sound like a thousand troops moving and ten thousand horses galloping, overwhelming Roman.

On the other side, the scholar using the 'Wind God Leg' moved like a fish, attacking simultaneously with the icy fist that was hurtling towards Roman. As his clothes fluttered, his folding fan snapped open, revealing a familiar line of poetry in black characters on a white background:

My hair just covered my forehead, and I played with flowers in front of the gate.

The boy rode a bamboo horse, circling the bed and playing with green plums...

You, a dashing scholar, inscribed "Changgan Xing" on a fan—don't you consider yourself a scumbag? I'm utterly speechless...

"Heavenly Frost Fist, Wind God Leg, but what about the Three Points Return to Origin Qi?!"

As Roman dodged and was too exhausted to even complain, a cold voice rang out:

"Here,"

Call out--

Looking up, a golden light enveloped Roman!

P. S.: This isn't a case of dual transmigrating; these are all native to the One Piece world. They're actually using abilities from the One Piece world, just under different names. I've already hinted at this in many places before, so I won't go into detail again...

Most of the plot after that is original, though the Straw Hat crew will always be the main characters. And I will also create original content within the framework of the book; don't worry, I won't suddenly have a brain fart and act like a pretentious intellectual.
