God Creation Plan

The earth-shattering battle is etched in everyone's minds, and the names of the three will resound throughout the world. They are the world's top powerhouses and the world's most outstanding swordsmen.

The images that captured their battles will not be forgotten with the passage of time; instead, they will become the goal pursued by all swordsmen.

Whether it's Redfield, Kozuki Oden, or Genryuusai Shigekuni, all swordsmen will remember their names.

"What a wonderful battle!" Back in the hall, Teach exclaimed as he looked at Oden.

"Haha, that was a truly enjoyable time! I hope to visit Wano Country sometime." Oden laughed heartily as he looked at Genryuusai Shigekuni and Redfield.

Although they had been in contact before because of Teach and the witnesses, they only knew each other by name and didn't really know each other.

Friendships are forged in battle. In this fight, both Genryuusai Shigekuni and Redfield gained Oden's approval. Before, they only knew that Oden was strong, but they only knew how strong they were after the battle.

Teach was very satisfied with the opening ceremony, and the effect exceeded his expectations. Through this opening ceremony, the authority of the kendo tournament was established.

In this way, if a kendo tournament is held again in the future, it will definitely not be worse than it is now.

Of course, this is just an idea. Holding the event is another matter, and it certainly cannot be held again in the short term. After all, this competition is for the title of "World's Greatest Swordsman". If a second edition is held in just a few years, then this title will be too worthless.

Moreover, there is no more suitable location than the Combat Pyramid.

The kendo tournament is in full swing, with tens of thousands of swordsmen participating. Even with the numerous arenas in the Combat Pyramid, it cannot be concluded in a short time.

The first round is to select the top 1,024 swordsmen, which is one in several tens of swordsmen who will advance.

With most spots already reserved by Swordmaster and Great Swordmaster, the competition among swordsmen has become even fiercer.

There are quite a few people who have won all ten battles, far exceeding the number of remaining spots, so the battle must continue and another elimination round will be held.

In the course of battle, some injuries are inevitable, and serious injuries may even affect one's ability to perform.

The ten battles are naturally spread out, possibly one or two per day, since the Night Pirates need to schedule their matches.

Although arrangements were made well in advance, the battle may be delayed due to the severity of the injury, and time will be needed for recovery.

Of course, one game per day is a key performance indicator.

There are those who try to kill, though fewer in number, but the death of a participant will still affect the planning of the kendo tournament.

Such a massive project kept those in charge of the Combat Pyramid extremely busy. Apart from some members of the Night Pirates, most of these people were sent from the Christie Kingdom.

The Night Pirates' primary mission remains maintaining order on the Combat Pyramid, Pagila Island.

The first round of selection for the Combat Pyramid took a full two weeks.

Aside from the swordsman's matches, the battles between Swordmaster Swordmaster, and between Swordmaster and Great Swordmaster, are the main focus of everyone's attention.

Those who are powerful and evenly matched can fight for a whole day and night.

The battle between Great Swordmaster not yet taken place, and the Night Pirates will not allow them to appear anytime soon.

In that time, every battle will be closely watched, unlike now where many battles unfold at once. Instead, they will be played one match at a time.

Back then, it was possible to have a battle every day.

Many people can only watch one battle at a time; there's no way around it, given the sheer number of participants.

The entire Combat Pyramid was packed with so many people that almost every arena was full.

Each battle is broadcast live via a dedicated Transponder Snail, which can be switched freely between.

Each battle is recorded and stored in a special section of the Transponder Snail), which can be viewed for a fee.

The collaboration between the Night Pirates and the World Economic News naturally brought them a fortune. Swordsmen from all over the world would certainly pay for it, watching other swordsmen's battles and gaining experience from them.

Most services at the pyramids are free for participants, which represents a huge expense.

However, compared to what the Night Pirates earned, not to mention the large quantities of food and other necessities they produced, which were then transported from various islands to Pagila Island.

The main supplier is still the Christie Kingdom, because with the power of a kingdom and its extremely high production efficiency, meeting the needs of millions of people is a simple matter.

Teach stopped paying attention to the various battles, and so did the other emperors. They would only take a look when the strongest warriors were fighting at the very end.

Teach constantly uses his Observation Haki; he needs to be in control of the situation, prevent any potential accidents, and nip them in the bud.

Unbeknownst to many, a strange creature is spreading throughout the Night Pirates, becoming a symbol of the Night Pirates.

This is a creature created by "Dark Emperor" Teach.

Its physical characteristics include three dragon heads, two tails, a pair of huge bat wings on its back, no forelimbs but only two hind legs, and its entire body is covered with scales.

Although no one knows what kind of creature it is, there are statues of "it" in the ports of every island in the territory of the Night Pirates, or in important locations such as the arenas of the thirty-six islands and inside the Combat Pyramid.

In addition, its presence is gradually spreading through plush toys, pictures, or sculptures, becoming increasingly conspicuous in the Night Sea Domain.

Although it attracted the attention of others, no one paid much attention to it; many people were simply curious about this kind of creature.

The three dragon heads on the bow of the Night Pirates' flagship, the "Queen Anne's Revenge," are exactly the same.

Teach's clothes were also printed with "its" body and images, and other members of the Night Pirates followed and imitated it to varying degrees, as did the residents of the Night Sea Domain.

What is fashion? This is fashion. Teach's every move attracts the attention of countless people. When "it" appeared, it became a sensation throughout the entire Night Sea Domain in a short period of time.

There were both covert efforts and subtle influences. Taking advantage of the kendo tournament, this new creature caught the eyes of countless people and spread outward from the Night Sea Domain to other seas of the New World, to "Paradise," to the four seas, to the entire world.

Perhaps they didn't pay attention, but it left an impression, and even aroused some curiosity.

What is its name?

However, besides Teach, there were two other people in the Night Pirates who knew about this plan: Mostima and Rediat. The others were unaware of what Teach, the "Dark Emperor," of the Night Pirates was planning.

It's hard to imagine.

This plan is also known as the "God Creation Plan".

This god is not a real god, Teach doesn't believe in gods either, let alone the Celestial Dragons who claim to be descendants of gods.

However, Teach believed that the world was conscious, that everything breathed, and that this world was no exception.

Perhaps it's a rule, perhaps it's instinct, perhaps it's a kind of order; though unseen, it certainly exists.

The incident stemmed from a handwritten note.

The vast majority of the books in Ohara are in the hands of the Night Pirates. The remaining small portion is useless. Books related to the Void Century and archaeology and history are still in Ohara, but they are of no use to the Night Pirates.

The library at Ohara is beyond imagination. Although it has only existed for four hundred years, the collection contains far more books than just those from the last four hundred years.

Ohara has been collecting books, even miscellaneous notes, and all sorts of knowledge, covering eight hundred years of history, excluding the Void Century and even earlier.

The world's history spans thousands of years, and Ohara encompasses that history.

With so much knowledge, it naturally needed someone to organize it. Even the scholars of Ohara only did a rough sorting and classification. Some knowledge that was useless to them was not meticulously organized.

Knowledge is a precious treasure; manuscripts, secret manuals, and even treasure maps and other hidden items can be found in Ohara's library.

These are all very important to the Night Pirates; perhaps, the world's most powerful Devil Fruit are hidden somewhere there.

In this world, many powerful abilities have disappeared into the long river of history, many of them hidden away. Only a small fraction of them appear on the sea.

Teach sent a large number of scholars to organize and search for some useful information.

Naturally, they unearthed many valuable items, including a very old notebook that caught Teach's attention and became the origin of the "God Creation Plan."

According to specialized research, this notebook is nearly a thousand years old, dating back to a century before the birth of the Great Kingdom "God's Country".

Compared to the 800-year history of the World Government, this long history is astonishing; it is unexpected that it has been preserved so well, with little loss.

Most of the other older books are now just fragments.

This notebook was written by someone who called himself a "God Creator".

"As the world develops, the number of Devil Fruit is also increasing. Devil Fruit are constantly being created, and the emergence of new things may lead to the creation of related Devil Fruit."

Devil Fruit have existed since ancient times, but very few people have thought about their origin.

This opening section is both a reflection on the origins of Devil Fruit and a summary.

"So, how did Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit come about? These fantastical, mythical creatures don't exist in this world, so why do Mythical Zoan exist? They're not just concepts; are they merely products of fantasy?"

"If I imagine a creature, will it come into being?"

"If I succeed, then I will be the one who can create a mythical species."

"On this day, after proposing this hypothesis, I immediately put it into action. With great excitement, I was determined to create a mythical species."

"Angels, demons, dragons, titans, what creature should I create? It can be beast-like, it can be human-like, I like birds, so I'll use them as a model."

"It requires immense power and extraordinary abilities."

"I started planning, studied painting and sculpture, poured all my passion into it, and spent a year creating it. I painted a clear picture and sculpted a statue of it."

"This is a thunderbird, possessing extremely high speed and golden feathers."

"However, I realized that simply doing this wouldn't be enough to create Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit. Myths are myths because they are passed down and known to people. Legendary creatures don't exist, but many people know about them."

"Is it enough to just let a lot of people know about it?"

"No, it's not that simple."

"Mythology is ancient, it is primitive; it is ancient belief, ancient totem, deity, faith—yes, faith, it must be related to faith."

"Next, I will travel around the world to find ancient, pristine islands, those islands that have never been in contact with the outside world and have indigenous inhabitants."

"Observe, record."

"After ten years, I finally found it. On a primitive island, a group of natives worshipped their god, a lion with a goat's body and a snake's tail. I named it Chimera."

"On the ancient altar, there is a fruit, Devil Fruit. It is their sacred object, a token of the gods. I guess it is Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit, Chimera Mode."

"If it's true, then my guess was correct, but to confirm it, I have to eat it."

"After some planning, I managed to deceive most of the natives, but I also angered them. This altar has always been guarded."

"I fired several shots, wounding a few natives guarding the altar, and successfully seized the Devil Fruit. These natives have now surrounded me; I've staked everything on this."

"I succeeded. I transformed into Chimera form and felt immense power. These natives knelt down as if they had seen a god."

"I asked these natives how long they've been worshipping the Chimera. Although I don't know what they were saying, I could roughly tell it's been about three hundred years."

"Three hundred years? How could I possibly wait that long? Faith is definitely related to the number of people. If there were more people, could the time be shortened?"

"I already had an idea, and now that I have the power, things will naturally be much easier."

"I subjugated a large group of natives, built a statue of the Thunderbird, an altar, and guided these natives to worship the Thunderbird."

"In the blink of an eye, thirty years have passed, and the altar remains unchanged. I have never given up. The lives of the natives have improved considerably, and their numbers have increased. I am constantly trying to find ways to recruit the natives."

"I realized that their faith was not pure, and they were mostly afraid of me, but there was no other way but to use quantity instead of quality."

"Twenty years have passed, and I am on the verge of despair. My body has aged, and I am now eighty-seven years old. How much longer can I live?"

"This has become my obsession. I watch the altar every day. Am I destined to be a failure in this life?"

"Behind the altar, I planted a tree, and my heart gradually calmed down. It seems I have truly failed; I can already feel life slipping away."

"My lifespan is running out. I glanced at the altar as usual, but I discovered that a golden Devil Fruit had appeared on the tree I planted."

"I succeeded! I really created Devil Fruit!"

"I hid the Devil Fruit under the tree, and tucked my diary into a fold of a book, which also contained a map of the island."

"I know this can't be known by anyone. If it falls into the wrong hands, it would be a terrible thing. But this is the culmination of my life's work, and I don't want it to disappear."

"So, let it be. In my final days, I left the island where I had spent more than half my life, and placed this book containing my diary in a corner of a library, hoping that someone would find it."

"I won't mention my name; if you'd like, please call me the God Creator."

It was because of this that Teach conceived the idea of creating a Devil Fruit and put it into action.

And this creature was created by him. If it were to truly come into being, its abilities would naturally be as he was familiar with. After all, the Thunderbird had not yet been born, so how could he know that the Thunderbird could use lightning?

His abilities can be perfectly combined with his Dark-Dark Fruit, unleashing even greater power.

He doesn't need to hide. There are people throughout the Night Sea Domain, and even the whole world, who wouldn't take as long as this "God Creator," and he can't afford to wait.

Therefore, this kendo tournament also concealed such a purpose; no one could have imagined that Teach would have the idea of creating Devil Fruit.

It is believed that this creature from the past will eventually manifest in the world in the form of Devil Fruit.

And its name is— Ghidorah! (To be continued)
