Crossing Over, Activating Exile and Xingshang!

"Chop, chop, chop!"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

"Throw thunder snails, motherfucking radish heads!"

Blue Star · Divine Dragon Empire · Lingnan Circuit · Demon Capital.

Inside a newly opened large VR experience center, a young man wearing smart VR glasses wildly swung the game controllers in his hands in the gaming area.

This young man was named Luo Ji, a college student from Demon Capital who had just returned from a trip to Ice City in the Northeast.

After visiting that oppressive exhibition hall of criminal evidence, Luo Ji had been unable to calm down for days.

To vent his emotions, he had just played games like Fruit Slash and Zombie Rampage at this VR experience center.

Now he had entered the final thrilling special game: furiously chopping radish heads and Foot Basin chickens.

His "dual blades" flew through the air as he became completely immersed in the slaughter, his smile growing ever freer and more unrestrained.

Meanwhile, in the waiting area outside, a couple broke into a fierce argument.

"What a fucking bastard with those thick brows and big eyes. Stop switching screens—I saw it all."

"You dare flirt with other people while you're out with me!"

"We're breaking up!!"

A gorgeous woman in heavy makeup, who had only undergone "forty minor adjustments," snatched her boyfriend's phone and angrily smashed it onto the floor.

"I didn't switch screens! I was really playing Sanguosha!"

"Fuck! My Fruit 16—I just bought it!!"

The man hurriedly picked up his phone and showed her the Sanguosha game screen.

But at that moment, his Fruit 16 began spewing white smoke and became scorching hot.

"Fuck!"

The man's eyes widened as he shouted. Without hesitation, he flung the phone forward. The smoking projectile arced through the air and happened to smash into Luo Ji's head.

Then the phone and the smart VR glasses lit up with a dazzling white light.

Boom!!

Amid a terrifying explosion and white smoke, Luo Ji, who was still waving his controllers, abruptly vanished from Blue Star.

Within a pale green space of nothingness.

A dignified voice echoed through the void.

Activating [Exile]: "Leaving now is your best choice."

Amid intense pain, Luo Ji tore the broken VR glasses off his blood-covered head, his face filled with fury and savagery.

"What the hell!!"

Dizzy and disoriented, Luo Ji burst into curses.

I'm suing this goddamn newly opened VR experience center until it goes bankrupt!

These shitty VR glasses actually exploded!

If they didn't compensate him with hundreds of thousands, or even millions, he would never let this go.

"Ah!~" x3

While Luo Ji was cursing, he suddenly heard three agonized screams filled with despair, making his heart seize in fear.

Activating [Xingshang]: "The life of this lone king—any of you may offer it up!"

Activating [Xingshang]: "What's mine is mine! What's yours is still mine!"

Activating [Xingshang]: "Come, I'll kill you and bury you too!"

The dignified voice rang out in the void once more, making the cursing Luo Ji panic as he scanned his surroundings.

This wasn't the VR experience center?!!

Where was this?

Where the fuck had that exploding VR headset sent him?

Gulp!

The next moment, Luo Ji swallowed hard.

He saw three figures seemingly torn apart by the force of shattered space, their flesh and blood flying everywhere like broken glass.

Energy cards flew out from the three mangled corpses and floated around a smoking phone.

Besides his terror, Luo Ji also saw the two remaining figures in this space.

Their builds, clothing, and hairstyles seemed somewhat familiar.

"This is... this is that little pervert Momonosuke and that traitor Kanjuro??"

Luo Ji was stunned. As an anime fan, he could never forget those two iconic hairstyles.

Could the VR headset explosion have blasted him into the world of One Piece?

Luo Ji glanced at the broken VR glasses on the ground and confirmed that he was not inside a virtual scene.

He carefully examined the three corpses on the ground again. They really did resemble Raizo, Kin'emon, and Kikunojo.

These really were the group of five who had been sent into the future by Kozuki Toki using the Toki Toki no Mi's power!

"I crossed over? This is the One Piece world? And I landed in the time-travel space created when Kozuki Toki activated the Toki Toki no Mi's power?"

"Kin'emon and the other two seem to have been incredibly unlucky and got killed by the chaotic spatial energy when I crossed over."

"And what were those voices just now? Why did they sound familiar?"

"Why did they sound a little like Cao Pi's lines in Sanguosha?"

"Then these cards must be..."

Luo Ji forcibly calmed himself. The more he analyzed the situation, the brighter his eyes became.

He had come out today to vent his emotions, yet he seemed to have encountered an extraordinary opportunity.

Looking at the floating, smoking phone and Kanjuro and Momonosuke, who stood like statues, Luo Ji's heartbeat accelerated as he slowly moved toward the floating energy cards.

It seemed that Cao Pi had activated the [Xingshang] skill and plundered these ability cards from Kin'emon and the other two.

He felt no pity whatsoever for the deaths of these Wano Country samurai and ninja. He even felt an instinctive rejection carved into his bones.

His trip to Ice City had completely awakened something in Luo Ji's bloodline.

"Ancestors, bless me! It has to be just like I guessed!"

Luo Ji approached the floating energy cards and cautiously watched the strange smoking phone.

Had this phone blown him into another world? Or had some god of transmigration chosen him?

Once he steeled himself, he quickly grabbed the first energy card.

Whoosh!

[Memory]: A memory card from a certain human.

As Luo Ji touched the energy card, a brief description appeared, followed by a flood of memories pouring into his mind.

"Ah!"

Luo Ji clutched his head and collapsed onto the ground with a painful scream, his eyes rolling back.

A few minutes later.

"It really is the One Piece world! I can actually use these cards! I'm going to be rich!"

Luo Ji's eyes gleamed. The energy card he had just absorbed contained Kin'emon's memories.

Now, not only had he obtained Kin'emon's memories, but he had also learned the universal language of the One Piece world.

After resting for a moment, Luo Ji quickly reached for the energy cards.

That was because the smoking, trembling phone looked as though it could explode at any moment.

If the phone exploded and caused these energy cards to disappear, wouldn't he lose one heaven-sent opportunity after another?

As Luo Ji rapidly grabbed one energy card after another.

[Unknown Energy Card] A kind of energy combining will and flesh...

[Unknown Rule Power Card] Information unknown.

[Constitution Card]...

"I'm rich! I love this cheat!"

As Luo Ji used and fused one energy card after another, his Blue Star human body underwent earth-shaking changes, as satisfying as leveling up in a game.

Even his height and build rapidly increased, surpassing two and a half meters.

"This is Armament Haki? Advanced Armament Haki?"

"This is Observation Haki. I can 'see' so clearly!"

"That phone really was playing Cao Pi in Sanguosha!"

"What kind of card is this? Could it be the sit-up constitution of Kin'emon, the 'Kin Emperor,' who tanked Beast Kaido's Thunder Bagua head-on?"

"Awesome!"

"The Fuku Fuku no Mi's power? What a useless ability. It seems to be Kin'emon's Devil Fruit power."

"No! Damn it! I actually got such a useless Devil Fruit power! No!!"

"My future is over!"

"Huh! This is the Maki Maki no Mi's power?"

"Fuck! I have two Devil Fruit powers in my body! It's over—I'm not about to explode and die, am I?!!"

After wildly fusing most of the energy cards, Luo Ji's face suddenly turned deathly pale. He staggered back several steps and dropped onto the floor of the void.

"I just crossed over—I don't want to die yet!"

Luo Ji clutched his chest in panic, despairingly waiting for the devils inside him to burst him apart and blow him into a rain of blood.

"I shouldn't have been so reckless. I should've been more careful... I was careless for a moment!"

Luo Ji quietly waited for death to arrive. His mind was a muddle, completely blank, and his eyes were filled with unwillingness.

He had only worried that the phone and cheat might suddenly disappear, but he had carelessly forgotten that Kin'emon and Raizo were both Devil Fruit users, meaning they had dropped two Devil Fruit ability cards.

This really was joy turning into sorrow!

But... a few minutes later, Luo Ji's face became increasingly delighted.

He hadn't died!

He had actually successfully obtained both the Fuku Fuku no Mi's power and the Maki Maki no Mi's power without being burst to death by the devil wills of the Devil Fruit abilities.

"Could I have a one-of-a-kind special constitution? Or is Cao Pi's [Xingshang] skill even more overbearing? Or is some god of transmigration protecting me!"

Luo Ji happily jumped up and cheered as if he had escaped death, freely venting the terrible emotions he had felt just moments ago.
