So the result is that now many people, after entering City of Dreams, stop doing anything else, find a place to sit down, pick up their devices, and start spamming.

Even Naito is too lazy to play those random multiplayer games anymore; he prefers to kill time with his terminal.

Besides this kind of creation, professions like gladiators, which bring spiritual pleasure to people through gladiatorial combat, can also be rewarded, which is why professional gladiators exist.

In fact, if the average quality of people in the red-light district weren't so high, many would probably resort to extreme measures to get Dream Coin.

After all, although Dream Coin are used to redeem customized services, the great Night King allows Dream Coin to be traded freely.

It can be used to purchase materials for hunting in the wild, and even finished equipment. Of course, some people also use real-world Beli to exchange for Dream Coin.

Creation can truly change life in the real world.

Thus, the City of Dreams truly flourished, with some coming simply to enjoy it, while others racked their brains to create more.

Naito smiled.

Everyone has a bright future ahead of them.

The first evolution of projection capabilities is also fast approaching.

This is truly exciting! After the first evolution, what will the projection look like? Will it gradually transform from being completely fake to resembling reality?

Chapter 83 Du Feld's Little Trouble! Rear Admiral Naito

A certain layer of the Dream World!

"Hahaha! What a pathetic hero!"

The demon god, whose upper body emerged from the bottomless abyss, roared with laughter that shook the entire world. His horns were so sharp they could almost pierce the sky, and his wings, when spread, could cover the earth.

You think you can defeat me?

Naito looked up at the man and gripped the holy sword tightly in his hand.

He was dressed in magnificent golden armor, with a rose pinned to his chest.

"Hahahaha! You pathetic hero! Do you think that pitiful toy in your hand can sever the resentment and darkness that have accumulated within me for ten thousand years?"

The demon god's voice made the sky tremble. He stretched out a gigantic claw, black flames gathering between his five fingers. "Look at this sky! It will soon burn! Look at this earth! It will soon crumble! And I—will stand upon your corpse and devour your so-called hope!"

As he spoke, he suddenly spread his wings, and the whole world went dark.

Countless black chains emerged from the depths of the void, Coating with destructive lightning, sweeping towards Naito like a thousand venomous snakes. The ground cracked, lava spewed forth, and the sky split open into an abyss-like rift, from which countless burning meteorites rained down.

The whole world was wailing, as if everything was coming to an end.

But in that instant, a ray of hope burst forth.

The holy sword in Naito's hand shone with unprecedented brilliance, instantly dispelling the darkness brought by the demon god.

Naito leaped into the air, his golden armor gleaming in the sunlight.

He raised the sword above his head with both hands, and the holy sword burst forth with pure white light, the blade slashing straight into the black torrent. The white light collided with the black light, the space trembled, and the burst of air blew away all the surrounding clouds. The torrent was split in two from the middle, dissipating into countless fragments of light.

In the next instant, Naito appeared before the demon god, and the holy sword pierced his chest without any resistance, the tip of the sword protruding from his back.

The demon's eyes widened, the savage grin on his lips froze, and he only managed to let out a hoarse whimper before his massive body tilted backward and plunged back into the abyss, kicking up dust like a collapsing mountain.

"How is that possible...?"

The demon roared in disbelief, "I am the embodiment of the world's malice, destined to devour the world's darkness..."

"That's enough, the lines are so cringeworthy they're making my hair stand on end."

Naito casually swung his sword, slicing the demon god's head off.

The demon's enormous head tumbled through the air, then suddenly let out a shrill, eerie laugh, "Goo goo ga ga! Warrior, in truth, I am your father—"

Click.

The world freezes.

Immediately, everything began to vanish.

Darth Vader, who are you?

Naito, expressionless, conjured a light screen by swiping his finger across the air. He then moved his finger across the screen.

"The Strongest Hero? That's so clichéd, their aesthetic sense needs improvement."

Well, besides reminiscing about his past life by reading novels or watching movies, Naito also selects some well-received works, expands them into smaller worlds, and embarks on an unknown adventure.

This feature has already been implemented on the terminal.

However, it requires a very high level of access, which is something that all the creators in City of Dreams are still far from achieving.

The reason it wasn't opened up immediately was because Naito felt that the public's threshold shouldn't be raised too high all at once.

The City of Dreams is already so captivating that everyone wants to stay forever.

"Lord Naito."

In the void, Luna's figure appeared out of thin air behind Naito.

"Is the banquet over?"

Naito turned around.

"Yes,"

Luna nodded slightly. "Yamato is very happy. The Devil Fruit she brought have already been given to Miss Bakkin: two Ancient Zoan and three ordinary Zoan."

Naito nodded slightly. "Shall we get an Ancient Zoan Devil Fruit weapon as a temporary solution?"

"There's no need."

Luna shook her head. "Ordinary animals aren't of much help; it's better to have another Zoan Fruit user."

"Um."

Naito didn't say anything.

That's true. Aside from Mythical Zoan weapons, what use are ordinary Zoan weapons?

Spandam's Elephant Sword was pure gimmick, and Mr. 4's Hook Baseball Launcher wasn't even a gimmick.

Unless it has a special mechanism like Salt's Serpent Sword, there's really no need for it.

Of course, Anthony didn't think so, so he now has the Devil Fruit weapon he wanted.

"Lord Naito,"

Luna said, "Yamato can't wait to go on an adventure; he wants to find Whitebeard and the remnants of Roger Pirates."

"Let her go."

Naito didn't care. "Let her go to the Giant Kingdom to find Gaban first."

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, both Gaban and Whitebeard will likely like Yamato very much.

Even though she is Kaido's daughter.

Unfortunately, blood ties are never the most important factor in this world.

Just like Roger's successor wasn't Ace, but Shanks, and then Luffy.

Yamato can indeed be considered, in a sense, the successor to Kozuki Oden.

Let her make use of all these connections.

"Clear."

Luna nodded slightly. "Directly arranging for one of our pirate crew members might expose her connection to us. I've asked Gaston to arrange for a few experienced female crew members to go to sea with her."

"Um?"

Naito looked at her with some surprise. "A woman?"

Has the all-female group trend spread all over the world?

"Lord Naito, don't you like her very much?"

Luna said calmly, "So I think she should keep a certain distance from other men."

"Sooner or later, there will be men on her boat."

Naito chuckled, "I always wanted her to travel the world, search for treasures, and recruit more fighters."

"Yes."

Luna nodded slightly.

Lord Naito did not refuse.

In other words, let's arrange for a few women.

"Oh, right, Lord Naito, there's one more thing."

Luna seemed to remember something and said again, "Just now, Du Feld said he was in a little trouble."

"Huh? What's going on?"

Naito raised an eyebrow slightly.

Du Feld is his moneybag, and he can't afford to have any problems until his power reaches a certain level.

He said a group of people were stealing his business.

Luna said, "That group of people runs a bank that offers loans at much lower interest rates than his. They're well-off, growing rapidly, and quite powerful. Du Feld can't do anything about them."

"Oh? Interesting."

Naito asked with great interest, "Who are those people?"

According to Du Feld, the group first gained prominence at an auction hosted by Doflamingo, where they stole Devil Fruit from Doflamingo auction and gradually began their business in the Underworld.

Luna's words gave Naito a strong sense of déjà vu.

Could it be that—

"The leader's name is Gild Tesoro, Paramecia Gold-Gold Devil Fruit User."

"So it really was him?"

Naito's lips curled into a smile. "Then you should go there yourself, Luna. That man is very valuable."

The world's richest man in the movie, a ruthless character who is said to be able to shake the Celestial Dragons with his Beli.

His strength is also extraordinary. Although he was beaten up by Luffy in the movie, that was King Luffy of the movies. Even if Imu entered the movie, he would still get beaten up. In fact, according to the setting, Tesoro is at the level of Admiral.

Of course, that's just the setting; you'll have to see it for yourself to know the actual situation, but it certainly won't be weak.

"Yes."

Luna nodded without any hesitation.

So, the next day...

At the port of the Dunas Kingdom, two ships were ready to set sail.

"Huh?"
