Comic Book Heresy, Tarot Cards Fail

While Luffy, Zoro, and Hawkeye Barton formed the God of War Trial Team, Sanji, Usopp, Coby, Tashigi, and Franky also entered the "Evil God Cinema".

In reality, only Tashigi was interested in this novel concept of "Subconscious Film".

Others are simply following the crowd.

Loki is very good at marketing.

Every visitor can experience "Dream Journey" once for free in the "Immersion Pod".

In the Subconscious Film world, you can savor endless delicacies, possess unparalleled fame, become Marine Admiral, and refurbish the world's greatest ships...

Fifteen minutes of real time passed.

The group emerged from the Immersion Pod with expressions of astonishment.

Subconscious Film.

The Straw Hat Pirates had never experienced anything like this before.

You can see it, you can hear it, you can smell it, you can touch it...

Everything in the virtual world seems so real.

"The first time is free, but subsequent times will incur a charge."

A waiter explained with a smile.

"How much?"

Sanji felt this thing was pretty worth it.

In the virtual movie world, he found the legendary ALL BULE, Heaven of ingredients.

The abundance of rare ingredients honed and improved his culinary skills.

Those experiences can all be brought back to the real world!

Sanji had a feeling that it wouldn't take too long...

In a maximum of three days, he will be able to reach a completely new level of culinary skill.

Skill approaches the Tao!

He can nourish his companions' bodies and enhance their abilities by cooking.

Just a little bit more...

Upon hearing this, Loki, the controller of the Evil God Cinema, smiled.

A sinister smile spread across his face, "Each person will receive ten million Beli per day."

As soon as the price was announced, Usopp bit his tongue.

"It hurts, it hurts!"

He covered his mouth and mumbled in a dreamlike voice, "That's too much! Why don't you just rob a bank!"

Loki sneered, "Robbing a bank is nowhere near as lucrative as this! I don't want to hear the word 'money' from your mouth again; it's an insult to art!"

The Straw Hat Pirates, their faces full of black lines, the Roar in unison, "You were the one who brought up the money first!"

"There must be other ways to get back into the Immersion Pod, right?"

Sanji lit a cigarette, puffed out smoke, and remained calm.

He has already discovered the blind spot.

The main purpose of this cinema may not be to make a profit.

"I enjoy dealing with intelligent people."

Loki gave Sanji an approving look.

Finally, I've seen a sane person in this world.

After negotiations, Loki achieved his goal.

The Straw Hat Pirates act in his movies, and after each film is completed, they get to use the Immersion Pod for free for a year (one day in reality).

After sending Sanji and the others into the Immersion Pod, Loki chuckled sinisterly.

He pulled out his latest script, which he had created in a burst of inspiration.

"The Useless Student and the All-Powerful Cat Who Travels Through Time".

"Screaming will do you no good."

"But to my ears, it is the most beautiful music."

In the water bar next to the Thriller Park and Evil God Cinema.

Wang Yan, who was watching the Straw Hat Pirates's interactions with Loki, couldn't help but chuckle.

"Compared to other professions, artists are indeed more likely to receive information waves from other worlds..."

There's nothing new under the sun.

Loki's inspiration actually came from something that happened in one of the Infinite Planes.

On a certain day, month, year, minute, and second, his brainwave frequency resonated with a certain region of Hearts in another world, and those fragmented images naturally flashed before his eyes.

The saying "inspiration flows like a spring, passion pours like a torrent" refers to this seemingly ordinary thing when broken down.

Different creators will produce different works after receiving the information waves.

In any case, the overall story outline is always similar.

Why did Jiraiya start spreading his "pirate strategy" before entering the Pirate World?

Aside from lending his Reward Points to other Reincarnator, most of his spending goes towards redeeming entertainment.

Under these circumstances, Jiraiya's readership is arguably the highest in the Main God Space.

He had once seen the story of the Pirate World in a manga called "Blackbeard's Dream".

That comic book is told primarily from the perspective of Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach.

In the story, Red-Haired Shanks was scratched on the face by Blackbeard with his bare hands, and through side descriptions, he was described as being easily defeated by a group of lowly mountain bandits with bounties of only one million Beli in the weakest East Blue, and even lost an arm...

Therefore, before Jiraiya arrived in the Pirate World, he stubbornly believed that among the Four Emperors, Red Hair was the weakest.

After Zuo Aotian Uchiha arrived in this world, he was frustrated for a long time after discovering that the person who had beaten him to the ground and forcibly taken him to his ship was Red-Haired Shanks.

After experiencing numerous events, the Reincarnator also came to understand many truths.

For example: Red-Haired Shanks actually pretty awesome, Garp isn't a weakling who tries to curry favor, the Revolutionary Army is all over the world, and their influence is spreading like wildfire...

Just as Wang Yan was letting his thoughts wander, a magnetic and mysterious male voice rang in his ears.

"I... can't see through your fate."

Wang Yan turned his gaze and saw a tall, slender young man.

This person has flowing blond hair, a distinctive Six Paths- lined eyebrow on his forehead, armor on his left arm, and a black cross tattooed on his Adam's apple.

Black trousers paired with an open white ruffled top exude an air of European aristocracy.

"Basil Hawkins, from the North Blue, captain of the Hawkins Pirates."

Wang Yan looked at the young man with eyebrows resembling QR codes with a half-smile, and said in a leisurely tone, "What brings you here, great pirate with a bounty of 249 million Beli?"

Hawkins remained silent.

His eyes shone brightly as he stared intently at Wang Yan.

Quite a while.

Tarot Cards appeared around him.

The 56 Minor Arcana cards spun rapidly, seemingly trying to deduce Wang Yan's past.

A moment later, the cards slowly turned into powder and disappeared into the world.

"TAROT's Power of Destiny is absolute."

Basil Hawkins seemed to be naturally sullen; even when his emotions were running high, he remained expressionless on the surface.

He clapped his hands.

Before his eyes, strands of "straw" that looked like they were made of pulled gold wire coalesced into 22 Grand Arcana cards.

These cards surrounded Wang Yan and spun rapidly.

A turbulent storm stirred, ruffling Wang Yan's dark, tousled hair.

"A pointless action."

Wang Yan picked up the honey kiwi juice in his hand and took a small sip.

Click!

A slight cracking sound was heard.

Hawkins' pupils instantly contracted to dangerous pinpoints, and his breathing noticeably quickened.

Irreversible cracks and damage have appeared on the Tarot Cards representing the "Wheel of Fortune".

Click! Click! Click!

The sound of shattering continued.

Grim Reaper, The World, The Sun, Judgment...

The Tower, the Devil, the Hermit, the Pope, the Fool...

The 22 Major Arcana cards were instantly reduced to dust and vanished without a trace.
