So, in the following period, Bai Sui resumed the same operations he had done in the Ninja World of Land of Kang, staying peacefully at the outpost in the East Blue, recording the Inner Landscape while studying the Treasure Tool Karasuki.
I only learned about the current situation in the One Piece world from occasional conversations, such as how most of the original Affiliated Nation had turned against them, not only joining the Revolutionary Army but also sending a significant number of their own troops to support them.
The pirates, on the other hand, are now divided into two factions. One group, which hadn't done too many bad things to begin with, either wants to join the Revolutionary Army, or plans to return to their hometowns and change professions. At the very least, they've stopped their current pirate activities and are waiting to see what happens.
Another group of pirates, those wicked individuals, perhaps sensing the crisis, are engaging in this final act of madness. However, after Sengoku and other high-ranking Navy officers agreed to join the Revolutionary Army, the Revolutionary Army, replenished with manpower, can basically guarantee the safety of various countries.
Furthermore, some personnel were borrowed from the outpost specifically to help the Revolutionary Army protect the residents and eliminate invading pirates; they would not participate in any other work.
Although the outpost did not send troops to attack Mary Geoise with them, the navy and the Revolutionary Army already had enough manpower. After all, to truly take action against Mary Geoise, it is not enough to rely on the navy or the forces of the Affiliated Nation. In the end, it will still come down to the victory of the top combat forces.
I heard that the battle was quite fierce. Of the ten Live Broadcast Den Den Mushi that the Revolutionary Army had prepared, eight were damaged in the fighting, and only the two furthest away survived.
Although Dragon and his crew had anticipated that the Celestial Dragons would have some trump cards before the battle began, they hadn't expected them to be able to field twelve Logia Devil Fruit users all at once. However, considering that the Celestial Dragons had ruled the world for eight hundred years, this was to be expected.
However, Dragon and his crew had anticipated this, so even with twelve Logia Devil Fruit users, they couldn't hold off the Revolutionary Army for long. They were overwhelmed by the Revolutionary Army's superior numbers. During this process, many Celestial Dragons realized that what the Five Elders had said was true, but unfortunately, they couldn't escape.
These Celestial Dragons weren't killed outright; instead, they were all captured and imprisoned by the Revolutionary Army, to be publicly tried after the battle. As for whether any of the Celestial Dragons attempted to resist or commit suicide, there were absolutely none. Such Celestial Dragons had already escaped following the advice of the Five Elders.
Although a large portion of these escaped Celestial Dragons traveled slowly in pursuit of comfort, making them easy targets for the Revolutionary Army or other individuals or forces that hated the Celestial Dragons, the ocean is vast, and there will always be a few who slip through the net. That, however, is something the new government will have to consider after its establishment.
What truly caused the Revolutionary Army enormous obstacles and losses was a being referred to as Lord Imu by the Five Elders, and the various weapons developed by the scientist Vegapunk.
In particular, a weapon recently developed by Vegapunk that is extremely similar to a nuclear bomb was detonated after even Imu was defeated by the combined attack of top fighters such as Dragon, Garp, Sengoku, Kizaru, and Whitebeard. The bomb that had been planted under the island in advance was detonated.
The detonation of several specially made bombs instantly vaporized the entire Mary Geoise from the map. Although Dragon and his forces managed to protect themselves and a small number of their subordinates thanks to their superior strength, the violent explosions had a far greater impact, and coupled with the subsequent tsunami, the Revolutionary Army suffered heavy losses.
However, this explosion also sent a signal to the world: the rule of the Celestial Dragons had truly ceased to exist from this moment on. They had vanished from the world, just like Mary Geoise was destroyed in the explosion.
The explosion had a significant impact, even causing displacement and tearing of the surrounding seabed, and triggering a series of natural disasters. Unfortunately, it did not allow Bai Sui to discover the whereabouts of the God Tree.
After destroying the Celestial Dragons ' regime, the Revolutionary Army did not immediately establish a new government. Instead, they dispersed their forces to hunt down pirates at sea, and for a time, the whole world was at peace.
Afterwards, the Revolutionary Army's leadership held a six-month-long conference with countries around the world to plan and arrange the future of the entire world. When the leaders of various countries learned that there was a wider world beyond their planet, and that other civilizations had even made contact with them, some trivial matters were suppressed to a certain extent, because they saw greater benefits.
So, in the year following the destruction of Mary Geoise, a new World Government was established, and on the day of its establishment, a public trial was held for all the Celestial Dragons and pirates, and all the sinners received their due punishment according to their crimes.
Oh, by the way, in the new World Government, the highest form of punishment isn't the death penalty. Instead, it's using the power of Devil Fruit to make the victim personally experience all the crimes they've committed. Whether they die after experiencing it depends on the circumstances, because at that time, ordinary people often actively sought the death penalty.
Sixteen or seventeen years passed quietly. With the experience of recording the Ninja World and a deeper understanding of Rhythm Bai Sui, the surface of the entire pirate world was finally recorded by Bai Sui.
In fact, Bai Sui found the God Tree through the Rhythm in the Inner Landscape in the twelfth year. However, at that time, Bai Sui's research on the Seastone had reached a key point, so he did not rush to take action. As a result, this key point was stuck for several years. Bai Sui had just succeeded after recording the entire surface world.
Although Bai Sui had successfully recorded the Rhythm of the Seastone and could create Seastone out of thin air by consuming Dharma Power, Bai Sui felt that this was not safe.
After all, the hardness of Seastone is only relative to ordinary people. For beings like them who have reached the Otsutsuki level, it is extremely fragile. Therefore, Bai Sui has been trying to extract the Rhythm of Seastone and integrate it into the world he has recorded in his Inner Landscape.
Now that he has successfully achieved this goal, Bai Sui feels it's time to deal with Ōtsutsuki Meishiki. After all, through Bai Sui's experimentation, he can now turn any place he has marked into a magic-free zone, where all Devil Fruit abilities will be rendered ineffective. This is Bai Sui's reliance in dealing with Ōtsutsuki Meishiki.
Bai Sui once tried to envelop himself in this anti-magic Rhythm, but he felt no discomfort. He could use Chakra, Haki, or qi freely. He wondered if this was because it was only for authority.
Yes, up to this point, Bai Sui still hasn't used any Devil Fruit. After all, he doesn't lack such power right now. Even if he really wanted to use one, wouldn't it be better to wait until he defeats Ōtsutsuki Meishiki and then simply choose the one he wants from the Power Treasury?
Moreover, through his research over the years, Bai Sui has discovered some things: why did the God of Otsutsuki insist on abandoning his physical body and achieving spiritual transcendence? What exactly influenced the God of Otsutsuki's transcendence of the physical body?
Based on his research, Bai Sui now has reason to suspect that this power is the culprit. After all, judging from its previous actions, this power was bestowed by this world. So, does the physical body that is combined with it already bear the imprint of this world, and thus become a part of this world's property?
If you want to take someone else's property and leave, how can they easily agree? Unless you are powerful enough that they can't stop you, but judging from the actions of the God of Otsutsuki, he is clearly not that powerful, since his physical body is still here.
It was precisely because of this discovery that, although Bai Sui was learning and imitating the Rhythm produced by the operation of these powers, he always restrained himself from acquiring those powers.
Without alerting anyone, Bai Sui first filled the area around the God Tree with a large amount of anti-magic Rhythm, turning it into a forbidden zone of authority. Then, with a teleportation, Bai Sui appeared next to the God Tree and quickly placed his right hand on top of it, preparing to directly compete with his opponent in terms of his most powerful mental strength.
Perhaps it was because he had been a tree for so long, but Ōtsutsuki Meishiki's reaction was extremely slow. It wasn't until Bai Sui had probed the core of the God Tree with his divine sense that the other party reacted.
To Bai Sui now, Ōtsutsuki Meishiki's spiritual power seemed so loose, almost dissipating at the slightest touch, and utterly unable to hinder the progress of Bai Sui's divine sense.
Perhaps sensing that he could not defeat Bai Sui on a spiritual level, Ōtsutsuki Meishiki immediately dispelled the Seastone around the roots of the God Tree, exposing himself completely to the seawater.
However, due to Bai Sui's prior arrangements, Ōtsutsuki Meishiki was unable to use his authority after escaping the suppression of the Seastone. Thus, he lost his last chance to act and was completely destroyed by Bai Sui.
Poor Ōtsutsuki Meishiki, for the past few hundred years he has been learning and using authority, and even his subconscious resistance is using authority instead of Chakra. If Ōtsutsuki Meishiki had used the Chakra in the God Tree to counterattack immediately, it would have really caused some trouble for Bai Sui. Now, all we can say is that everything is the same as Bai Sui's.
Without the soul control of Ōtsutsuki Meishiki, the God Tree immediately became agitated. After all, without a conscious soul to suppress it, the God Tree's originally agitated and chaotic consciousness resurfaced. However, after Bai Sui left a bit of his divine consciousness inside the God Tree, it became completely calm.
After ensuring that the anti-magic Rhythm remained enveloping the God Tree, Bai Sui transferred it to his own Universal Space.
Bai Sui had experimented with his own Universal Space before. Devil Fruit users who entered it did not lose their abilities, which meant that the Universal Space did not exist independently of the universe. Therefore, after thoroughly analyzing the Anti-Magic Rhythm, Bai Sui completely suppressed the magic in this space, wanting to see if he could separate it from the universe.
Bai Sui flashed to the Research Institute on the moon, had the researchers there pass on a few words to his acquaintances, and then took out the God Tree, allowing the Research Institute to conduct research under his supervision.
Yes, for the next few decades, Bai Sui stayed at the Research Institute, after all, he was afraid that a single oversight would lead to the annihilation of the Ninja World.
Time flies, and technology advances even faster. Through the combined efforts of the Ninja World and the One Piece world, they have explored several habitable planets. Although they have not discovered any new life, they have multiplied their population several times over, and various resources are no longer scarce.
With the emergence of a large population and the increase in average lifespan, the speed of technological development is also accelerating. In just a few decades, the Chakra Warp Engine and the Haki Field Shield were invented, making interstellar exploration more convenient and efficient for both civilizations.
That year, on Bai Sui's two-hundredth birthday, the Research Institute finally succeeded in analyzing and developing the artificial authority. Through studying the artificial authority, Bai Sui was able to simulate all the natural forces in the world through Rhythm, making him a minimum-level version of an omniscient and omnipotent god.
Over the decades, the Ōtsutsuki Clan did send people over, but to the now-mature Ninja World world, a small number of Otsutsuki members were no threat at all. Instead, they became resources delivered to their doorstep. In this way, without Bai Sui having to lift a finger, several waves of invading enemies were easily eliminated.
These first few waves were only sent because the other side was unaware of the situation, and they didn't send anyone else after that. However, this doesn't mean the matter is over, since now it's the Ninja World that wants them dead.
Previously, the Ninja World felt that its own strength was insufficient, so although they felt humiliated by being repeatedly attacked in their own territory, they did not have any good solutions, after all, they understood the difference between defense and offense.
However, things changed drastically after the advent of artificial authority. Although the cost was very high, building an authority warship comparable to the Otsutsuki level would require resources equivalent to almost one moon.
The problem is that the Ninja World, now that it has entered the space civilization, has no shortage of resources. They can easily find whatever they want in space. So, after accumulating two thousand power warships, they decided to head towards the Otsutsuki's territory, wanting to avenge their previous humiliation and eliminate the Otsutsuki, the executioner who has been wantonly suffocating intelligent civilizations, for the entire universe.
