One Piece

Xia Mi: Woohoo, my Small World is finished. @Kuina, here I come.

Kuina: Sure, Sister Xia Mi, I've approved it on my end.

The group members had tried before, but they couldn't bring people along when traveling between worlds. After Richard obtained an independent Small World, he tried using it to bring other living beings across worlds.

He successfully brought several Magic Beasts to Xia Mi's world.

After Xia Mi found out, she kept pestering him for his Kamui Eye. Naturally, Richard refused. However, he did upload the method for constructing a Small World to the group.

Furthermore, Richard had shared all the knowledge he obtained from the Ninja World with the Slug Sage, and the Slug Sage uploaded everything to the group.

The Scummy Dragon King had spent this period studying while attempting to upgrade her Nibelungen into a portable Small World. Judging by the results, she had succeeded.

Xia Mi had long been itching to get out, so she naturally couldn't wait to roam other worlds.

Previously, she had been afraid that after she left, Nidhogg or other Hybrids would raid her home and kill her idiot brother. That was why she had only dared to remain in the Dragon World. But now that she could bring her foolish brother and little Erii along, what was there to fear?

As it happened, Kuina had trained at home for so many years that she was nearly a Great Swordsman.

Recently, she felt that her swordsmanship had been progressing very slowly, so she went to seek advice from her old man.

Shimotsuki Koshiro looked at the graceful young girl before him, the corners of his mouth twitching. He had never seen anyone become a Great Swordsman through secluded training alone. Of course her progress was slow.

Without going out to experience life-and-death battles or crossing swords with other swordsmen, how could her swordsmanship mature?

He knew his daughter had secrets. She had been practicing all sorts of strange things for a long time, and she thought she could hide them from him. Did she really think Observation Haki was for show?

So he could only tell the girl that she needed to go out and gain experience.

Although Kuina was not yet seventeen, it was a little early for her to go out and train. But for the sake of her swordsmanship, no matter how reluctant he was, he had to let go.

With Kuina's current strength, let alone East Blue, she would not be able to find an opponent even in the first half of the Grand Line. He was only afraid that she lacked experience and would be caught off guard by those bizarre Devil Fruits.

For a moment, the old father did not know whether he should let Kuina go to sea or not.

Thus, Xia Mi and Kuina hit it off immediately and agreed to roam the world together.

Richard had grown restless from staying still for too long and also wanted to go traveling with them. Especially in the Pirate World, where there was little danger, he could let his main body go have fun.

Well, although Richard usually looked calm and cautious to the extreme, he actually had a restless heart as well and wanted to venture out. It was just that his strength did not allow it.

If he had the strength of a Paragon High-God, he would have long since gone to roam the Divine Planes.

Thus, he quickly spoke in the group.

Richard: Count me in.

Lin Feng: Oh, oh, oh, are we forming a team? I'm coming too.

Ye Zhen: @Richard, didn't you say you were coming to my world?

He was poor, and the plot of Mysterious Recovery had already begun. He could not run around recklessly, or his home might be gone when he returned.

Richard: Next time, definitely.

He had originally wanted to roam the Mysterious Recovery world as well, but Yang Jian's final state was rather strange. He existed simultaneously across countless timelines in the past and future.

His mind was not especially clear either. What if he mistook Richard for some kind of Ghost and beat him up? Wouldn't that be a pointless beating?

Although the Mysterious Recovery world did not seem particularly strong, its mechanics were truly outrageous. He did not know whether he could withstand them.

After considering it, he decided to put it off for now. He would go after becoming stronger in the future.

Wan Wan: I want to go too, but I can't leave here. Cihang Jingzhai has entered the stage, and Master won't let me leave at a time like this.

Clearly, the plot of Twin Dragons of Tang World had begun long ago, and Yang Guang had already died.

Lin Feng: You can't beat Zhu Yuyan?

Wan Wan: Watch how you talk. That's my master.

Slug Sage: I hate the sea. Forget it, I won't be going this time.

Sister Bao: I wanna come play too, but that dumbass Zhang Chulan probably won't allow it.

Thus, only Xia Mi, Richard, and Lin Feng were confirmed to be going to the One Piece world.

East Blue, Shimotsuki Village, Isshin Dojo.

Kuina waited expectantly for the arrival of the group members. This was their first offline meeting, and she felt both excited and nervous.

Xia Mi arrived first. She had flawless features, a radiant complexion, crystalline fair skin, and a slender, graceful figure. Her clear, lustrous eyes were framed by long lashes, her cheeks carried a slight baby fat, and small canine teeth showed at the corners of her mouth. Her high ponytail swayed behind her, while her fluffy bangs resembled drifting clouds. Her entire presence was as brilliant as summer flowers, gentle and refined like jade.

As soon as she arrived, she released Fenrir and Erii as well.

Not long afterward, Richard crossed over too. This was his main body, with black hair and black eyes, a rare sight even in the Coiling Dragon World. His Life Divine Clone remained behind to guard his home. With his main body's strength, he could easily sweep through the One Piece world, so he was not afraid of trouble.

Finally, Lin Feng appeared in ancient robes. He was rather handsome as well. No wonder he had managed to win over Wang Yuyan and Mu Wanqing.

Kuina looked at the five people who had appeared. Her gaze first settled on Erii and Lin Feng.

Because both of them carried weapons, they looked like experts in swordsmanship.

Kuina was eager to make a move. She wanted to exchange blows with everyone.

None of the arrivals were ordinary people, and they all sensed another gaze watching this place.

"Alright, Kuina, no need to rush. There'll always be chances to spar in the future. For now, take us to visit your father. Since we're taking you out on an adventure, we have to get your parent's permission first," Richard said as he looked at the eager Kuina.

The others smiled and nodded as well.

Xia Mi even took Kuina's hand and said, "Follow your big sister from now on. I'll look after you."

Although she looked younger than Kuina, it did not feel out of place at all. She simply had far too much worldly swagger.

Thus, the whole group went to meet Shimotsuki Koshiro.

He was also a heavyweight figure in the Pirate World, the old mentor of East Blue's beginner village. Anyone who transmigrated into the One Piece world and started in East Blue would basically come here at least once.

At this moment, Shimotsuki Koshiro was dumbfounded. Kuina had said some friends would come to visit, and that they would go to sea together afterward, but she had not said there would be so many friends. He had thought there would be one or two at most.

Besides, Kuina had grown up under his nose since childhood. Where could she have met so many friends?

At that moment, he thought of Devil Fruits. Other than miraculous Devil Fruits, there was no other explanation.

More importantly, none of these young people were ordinary. Even Lin Feng, the weakest among them, did not seem much weaker than Kuina.

Erii and Fenrir both felt even stronger than him.

As for Xia Mi and Richard, he could not sense anything from them at all. They seemed like ordinary people. But could they really be ordinary people?

Although it was not very obvious, these people seemed to regard Richard and Xia Mi as their leaders.

With a lineup like this, were they planning to fight the Celestial Dragons or challenge the Four Emperors?

After some friendly discussion, Koushiro agreed to let Kuina join them.

"I don't agree. I want to go to sea too." Just as the group was preparing to leave, Zoro, Kuina's lifelong rival, jumped out.

"Idiot Zoro, you're too weak. Train for another two years," Kuina mocked.

"Bastard, who are you calling an idiot? Let's duel, asshole!" Zoro roared furiously.

"No. You've never beaten me," Kuina refused.

She had not been stingy either. She had taught Zoro all the martial arts manuals and secret techniques obtained from the group. However, Kuina received occasional guidance from the group members, so her progress was naturally faster than Zoro's.

Furthermore, she was two or three years older than Zoro. By now, the gap in their strength had already widened considerably.

"I'm going to sea first. Come find me after you set sail," Kuina said.
