Chaotic Dreamscape: A Declaration to the World
"Imu, hide in the back!"
Tsk, isn't this even more chaotic than the Great Pirate Era?
Splash~
Amidst the fluttering papers, Neo snorted in annoyance. Now he finally understood what Joy Boy meant by the sea being 'ravaged by war'; basically, his daily routine on each island consisted of:
Enemy, damn it!
Enemy, attack!
Unless the three of them are willing to be tied up and 'swung on a swing' at the port, their only option is to fight.
"Neo, try to hold back..."
"Rest assured,"
After a fierce battle where 'physics' convinced the other side, Neo looked at the hateful gazes on the ground and helplessly rubbed his temples.
"So, what heinous things have you done to deserve such hostility?"
·······
Faced with this question from the desert island boy he had already become familiar with, even the usually sunny and smiling Joy Boy couldn't help but look somber.
"Wouldn't it be too superficial if I said it was gold?"
?
With Joy Boy's explanation, Neo finally understood just how chaotic the 'world' was at this point in time.
The calendar of this world is based on the arrival of the Moon Person as 'Sea Circle Calendar 0'. Before that, although many countries had developed on the sea, due to the barrier of the sea, most countries still used their own messy calendars, and communication between races was very scarce.
But all of this changed with the arrival of the Moon Person.
The Moon Person initially established three settlements: Bika (their homeland later destroyed by Enel), Sky Island, and Jaya, representing the three factions of the Moon Civilization's 'Three Wings Council': Mechanics, Chip-Brains, and Cyborgs. However, despite their powerful civilization, however—
Just look at the bunch of lazy bums on Sky Island; they're not a race with a passion for battle.
Even so, the Moon Person, having established themselves in their three settlements, built a prosperous "Great Kingdom" on the high seas, thanks to their technology that was a millennium ahead of the rest of the world. This kingdom used its technology to trade vast amounts of gold with other nations, constructing the legendary "Golden City," Shandora. They were incredibly powerful for a time!
And so the seeds of disaster were sown...
"So, you are a member of the royal family of the Great Kingdom?"
Neo clapped his hands as Joy Boy nodded.
"Then what are you doing wandering around on this high seas? Why don't you hurry home, inherit the family fortune, and live a dull, boring, and uninteresting life of luxury?"
???
"Ahem, that was just a rant, so... you want to mediate the wars that rage around the world?"
Simply put, the kingdoms of this world coveted the technology, gold, and wealth of the Great Kingdom. Then, upon discovering that the Great Kingdom wasn't some omnipotent 'god,' but rather 'humans' like themselves, subject to birth, aging, sickness, and death, their burgeoning ambition could no longer be contained!
In Neo's previous life, a highly advanced civilization that had developed to the point of using automated robots would have utterly crushed a group of less advanced civilizations sailing the seas in sampans! There would have been no concept of 'combat' whatsoever. But in this world:
"Devil Fruits and Haki?"
As the saying goes, you have technology, I have superhuman skills!
Once Armament Haki is activated, it's possible to dismantle a Gundam with bare hands or withstand missiles with one's bare body in no time; Observation Haki can also compete with high-tech reconnaissance; not to mention Conqueror's Haki, which is so overpowered that "one glare from him and you're knocked down."
Meanwhile, those shameless rule-based Devil Fruits are absolute weapons of mass destruction for the Moon Person who lack Haki, and the Logia Devil Fruit users are causing the technology-savvy Moon Person a real headache. So in the end:
One side boasts advanced technology, with an endless army of robots; the other side possesses extraordinary individual strength, capable of single-handedly breaking through enemy lines and conquering thousands of miles.
It's a draw!
"The war has lasted for decades, and both sides have learned a lot from each other... the art of killing."
Guns and navigation technology appeared in the hands of other kingdoms, and crude mechanical prosthetics and human modification were installed on the bodies of fearless individuals; meanwhile, the Moon Person began to try to study the principles of Devil Fruits, and the mapping of Life Factors... that is, gene sequences, officially began.
One side fought to eliminate the invaders, the other to defend their homeland; neither believed they were in the wrong, and war raged across the world. Even Neo, the 'dignified time traveler,' couldn't find fault with it. As for Joy Boy...
"Therefore, I want to travel the entire ocean, and I want to understand the whole world with my own eyes."
On one side are the older generation scolding them as "insatiable monkeys," and on the other side are those blindly shouting "Get off our planet!"
"I believe that fighting only stems from a lack of understanding between each other. As long as we are willing to communicate, we can become friends!"
Sunlight shone on the face of the boy who clenched his fist and swore an oath, giving him a layer of sanctity, and also infecting a certain 'dignified transmigrator' who had once been living a life of idleness and complacency.
"We are all human beings, and we too were once evolved beings of this world, only we were the pioneers who set foot on the moon more than three thousand years ago. Now, returning home, we have no intention of colonization or enslavement, but rather we are willing to work together to build a world where all races can develop peacefully..."
Isn't this the doctor's 'Golden Dream'?
I never imagined that Joy Boy, you not only have such a great appearance, but also a heart full of ambition and a 'hero' script in hand.
Fine, let me lend you a hand.
"Come on, Joy Boy, I have a quote that really captures your dream. You can use it as a slogan for future promotions!"
"Let's call it 'I Have a Dream'!"
"This is····"
Roman shook his head and sighed as he regained his senses.
"I had another dream... Ugh, what a hassle."
Roman had absolutely no interest in Neo's past. After all, he was about to be forced into marriage, so why bother with the messy affairs of his predecessors? Speaking of which, he wondered what Nami and Luffy were up to these days.
"Neo Lord God,"
Opening the door, Roman saw a group of men in black suits bowing respectfully. He didn't bother with their forms of address and simply extended his hand:
"Where's the newspaper I asked for?"
"Here I am, sir."
As the man in the black suit on the other side respectfully presented the ironed newspaper on a jade plate, Roman picked up the newspaper and casually asked a question.
"This isn't a 'special version' that only I'm watching, is it?"
"... You jest, sir."
This is not impossible; the so-called 'information cocoon' has been the same from ancient times to the present.
"Why not eat meat porridge?" "Why not eat cake?" "Ten taels of silver for an egg!" These famous sayings by Chinese and foreign rulers are not unfounded, just like the "personal newspaper" of Yuan Shikai.
Given Roman's current status... or rather, situation, it's not impossible for these guys to set up their own newspaper to run their own 'secret publication'. However:
"It seems to be true."
Because Roman requested the World Economic News, Morgans's "shocking" newspaper, the headline was naturally sensational. "The Birth of the King of the Pirates, the Flames of Discontent?"
Let me see~
Time flies. In the blink of an eye, 25 years have passed since the last King of the Pirates, Gol D. Roger, was executed by the Navy...
The newspaper began by commemorating Roger's great achievements, and then moved on to the main subject of this report: Luffy!
Who is Monkey D. Luffy? The grandson of Marine Hero Garp, and the son of the Revolutionary Army leader Dragon—he possesses the blood of one of the world's strongest warriors! Now, he has surpassed his father, claiming the title of King of the Pirates at the tender age of 20! Truly an unprecedented hero on the high seas...
Only Morgans, who could beat up a CP0 assassin with his bare hands and whose newspaper headquarters was a mobile hot air balloon, would dare to write such a thing.
'But when we interviewed the newly crowned King of the Pirates in Whole Cake Island, he was clearly very unhappy! Perhaps it was because a wedding stole his thunder? Or perhaps for some other reason? In any case, he left with this statement:'
The banquet can't go on!
?
"Luffy is still the same as ever."
Roman rubbed his temples, his head throbbing, but he had no choice but to face the reality.
Imu, you liar! You promised foolproof memory modification, but you've only modified nothing!
The Wano Country,
"The banquet can't go on?"
Ace put down the newspaper in his hand and shook his head indulgently.
"My younger brother, Marco, gather everyone here. Also, Yamato and the samurai of Wano Country, I have something to say to them."
Whole Cake Island
"The banquet can't go on?"
"Could it be that we haven't treated you well? If you're missing any ingredients, we'll just go and steal... cough cough, buy them back."
Amidst the dejection of a group of Charlotte family's younger children, their older siblings, who were in a meeting, sat in a circle, their faces serious.
"Then, this time it will be my turn..."
"Wait, Katakuri- san."
Smoothie, now the second-in-command of the Charlotte Family, interrupted Katakuri.
"This is a debt of gratitude from the entire Charlotte Family; how can you be the only one to repay it? Besides—"
"You don't think that if we fail, there will still be a place for the Charlotte Family in this world, do you?"
Zou,
"The banquet can't go on?"
"Meow, meow, meow, As expected of Captain Roger, we fully support him!"
Duke Inuarashi looked thoughtfully at the newspaper in his hand, watching the Master Nekomamushi laughing so hard he was rolling on the ground.
"If the target is... that person—" "What? You're scared, you old dog!"
Faced with the sudden change in the Master Nekomamushi, Duke Inuarashi simply shook his head calmly.
"No, this time I agree with you."
Dressrosa,
"Oh no, the banquet can't go on? This is..."
Seeing Rebecca's furrowed brow, Kyros, dressed in a gladiator outfit, patted his daughter's head.
"Think about it, under what circumstances would Captain Luffy not hold a banquet?"
Fish-Man Island
"Father, please look,"
After looking at the headline of the newspaper handed to him by the eldest prince Hoshigaki, Neptune remained silent for a long time.
"Go, prepare the army. Whether it's the wedding of the Celestial Dragons God and the Marine Admiral, or the Straw Hat crew's debt of gratitude..."
We will all have to face this!
Water 7
"A banquet... could it be..."
The Iceburg, dressed in a suit, thought for a few seconds and then instructed the company's 'vice manager', who was also his apprentice: Barry.
"Bringing our newest warships along is a great opportunity for free publicity, with so many countries involved."
If... it really happens, it can also be used as a fighting force!
Alabasta,
"Princess Vivi,"
The sound overhead made the cloaked figure riding a land duck in the desert below tremble and forced him to stop.
"Bell ~"
"It's no use for me to be cute or charming, Your Highness."
The white giant eagle that landed on the ground transformed into a desert warrior draped in a white robe, none other than Chaka member of the Nefertari Kingdom's guard.
"After the king saw the newspaper, he knew you were definitely going to run away, so—"
"This time, please allow us to accompany you!"
As the dust billowed, Chaka, transformed into his jackal form, caught up and knelt down on one knee.
"The banquet can't go on?" X7
At the Barto Club; the Handsome Pirates, the Eight Treasures Navy, the XXX Gym Fighting Club, the Tontatta Tribe Legion, the Giant Soldier Pirates, and the Yontama Maria Grand Fleet, simultaneously, the captains' questioning voices rang out. Then:
"Men, change course!"
"The time has come for our 'King of the Pirates' to gather his crew!"
