Thinking about the upcoming journey to the One Piece world, Adonis turned his gaze to Cocolia, who was sitting across from him. "I'll be leaving in a day, and I'll appoint Bronya as the acting Great Guardian with you as her assistant."
Cocolia, still working on the documents on her table, paused, her eyes widening as she asked, "Where are you going?"
"To a place that will help make Beloberg better," Adonis replied before walking out of his office
…
…
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. On the seventh day, the day of his appointment with Nami, Adonis opened the chat group early in the morning from his bed.
[Shiina: It's the fourth day already, I'm worried about sister A2's status.]
[Inori: We just have to believe, she'll be fine.]
[Adonis: You guys, don't worry much, just believe she'll be fine…]
[Kaede: Hn, she'll be fine.]
[Kaede: Speaking of which, today is the seventh day Nami has joined.]
[Nami: Ah yes, @Great Guardian Adonis, the seeds have also been prepared.]
[Nami: But I checked in for 6 days in a row to get 212 points, and I don't know, if I sign in today, I don't think I can make up 300 points…].
[Kaede: The difference is 88 points, and it can still be achieved…]
[Anna Kushina: Yes, sister Nami.]
[Shiina: Do it!! Just Do it!!]
[Nami: 120 points is the norm for Lord Guardian, but my highest time is only 62 points, and the last check-in today, can I really get more than 88 points?]
[Adonis: Miracles can happen if you don't lose hope. Believe you can get the remaining 88 points, and you might just achieve it.]
[Nami: I see, I'll try.]
[Group Announcement: group member Nami completed today's check-in and earned 108 points.]
Not only was it enough for 300 points, there was even 20-point extra.
[Shiina: other than Lord Guardian, this is the highest point ever gotten, right?]
[Inori: Wait a minute…. Is this a blessing from Lord Guardian?]
[Shiina: Yes! I should have thought of praying to Lord Guardian before the lottery, otherwise I wouldn't have drawn a reward like the magic circuit, and I still haven't figured out what this reward is for. (╥╯^╰╥)]
[Shiina: Before the lottery and sign in from now on, I will worship Lord Guardian first.]
[Adonis: ….]
….
One Piece World.
Before the seventh day arrived, Nami had gathered the seeds Adonis needed and crafted a makeshift small boat.
Her goal was to get closer to Marine Ford ahead of Adonis's arrival, fearing that if she waited too long, she wouldn't make it to the battlefield at the start of the war.
With her current small boat, the journey to Marine Ford would take a day or more, and she had placed all her hopes on Adonis.
Whether it was to save Luffy or to join the battle, her only reliance was on the enigmatic Great Guardian.
Now. Seeing Adonis's message. She directly had enough points to invite him.
….
[Ding! The group member Nami has invited you to the world of "One Piece," do you accept?]
[Accept | Reject.]
Adonis lay on his bed, staring at the invitation on the blue panel. He glanced at the Herta puppet standing by his bedside, in a dormant state.
"I'm going to a place where I can't take you, unfortunately," he whispered as he accepted the invitation.
A rectangular quantum gate materialized in his room, and Adonis got up from his bed to approach it. After stepping through, it felt like he was traveling through a dark tunnel until he emerged into a bright world—a vast ocean.
Adonis sensed the familiar sea scent of Beloberg, confirming that he had arrived in the One-Piece World.
"Lord Guardian?" Excited voices called from behind.
Adonis turned to see a short-haired cat-like thief looking at him with amazement.
A small smile formed on his face as he greeted, "Hello, I'm Adonis from the chat group, and I'm also the guardian of Beloberg."
Nami quickly wiped away the tears in her eyes and replied with a smile, "Hello, I'm Nami."
It's true, the Ten Thousand Worlds chat group can indeed bring people from other worlds to this world.
If that wasn't amazing, she didn't know what it is.
Nami turned around and struggled to lift a bag filled with sacks, placing it in front of Adonis. She untied the rope at the bag's mouth, revealing several small bags inside, each labeled.
"Here are the sturdy plant seeds I collected—63 species in total, with over a pound of each," she said.
Then, she rummaged through the sack and carefully took out a small treasure chest measuring 40 centimeters in length, 20 centimeters in width, and 20 centimeters in height. With great care, she opened it, revealing a small but lively sapling.
"This is the Yarchiman mangrove tree sapling, Lord Guardian. You can cultivate it in Beloberg."
[TL: I dunno what the fuck in the above that is.]
Saying that, she scratched her head in embarrassment. "I watched the video materials saved in the group and noticed that there wasn't a single tree in Beloberg as decoration. So, I took the liberty of asking a senior for a sapling. I hope you'll find it satisfactory."
"Oh, don't worry. I'm very satisfied with this," Adonis replied.
Adonis casually knocked on the air, opening a quadrangular quantum door. After retying the sack and placing it inside, he gazed out at the boundless sea.
"How long do you think it will take to reach your destination?" he inquired.
