"From today onwards, I am the new captain of this ship. If any of you have objections, you can speak up. After all, I am not an unreasonable person," Yang Tao said kindly, looking at the pirate crew members squatting on the deck with their ears pinched.
"No… no objections!"
"I want to follow you!"
"Whatever you say, it is what it is!"
Yang Tao nodded with satisfaction and said to Alvida, who was standing behind the group, "Alvida, there's an old saying in the East Blue: 'Those with different paths do not conspire together.' Throw anyone who had objections just now overboard. Oh, and give each of them a wooden barrel so they don't drown in this vast ocean."
Alvida: "…"
I've lived in the East Blue for so many years; how come I've never heard of these old sayings you speak of?
Obediently, she carried the pirates she had already knocked unconscious, placing them one by one into the barrels as Yang Tao instructed, then gently threw them into the magnificent ocean below.
If they were lucky, they might swim to a nearby small island.
Yang Tao stood up and walked to the edge of the deck, looking at the pirates who had woken up due to the stimulation of the seawater. He felt a lot of emotion in his heart: 'As expected of the One Piece world, even these unknown nobodies have such strong resilience…'
The One Piece world is completely opposite to the Transformers world. People in the One Piece world have low attack and high defense. Even among the three Marine Admirals, only Kizaru's ability could pose a slight threat to Yang Tao.
Mag-Mag Fruit?
Was my ability to bathe in magma a joke? Excluding the high temperature, the impact force accompanying Akainu's skills had little effect on him. He might even be able to take no damage just by holding up a shield.
Furthermore, did they truly believe his blade wasn't sharp?
Turning to look at the pirates on the ship, Yang Tao said with a faint smile, "Alright, since you have no other objections, then work hard. Our destination is the sea restaurant Baratie."
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
A group of pirates responded to Yang Tao's words, but their replies were a bit messy and lacked energy.
"Can't hear you, louder!!"
"Yes!!"
"Very good, very spirited, go!"
With a wave of his hand, Yang Tao sent the pirates to diligently pilot the ship. He glanced at the pirate flag hanging from the mast, used his double jump ability to leap onto it, and directly tore down the pirate flag.
"Captain, what kind of pirate flag do you want to make?"
Alvida, holding her spiked club, came to Yang Tao's side and asked curiously.
"Pirate flag? Who told you I want to be a pirate?"
Yang Tao crumpled the pirate flag and put it into his backpack. He carried the chair that was on the deck and walked towards the bow of the ship, then sat at the very front.
"The pirate profession isn't suitable for me. My heart is relatively soft. I'm afraid I'd go bankrupt within a few months."
Being a pirate and robbing ordinary civilians?
First, whether Yang Tao could bring himself to do it, and second, with his personality, he might even feel soft-hearted and provide some assistance when he saw some poor families.
At that time, he would truly become someone who went out to rob but then gave away eight hundred at night because he felt pity for people.
"Alvida, I just want to travel around this world. All those places like the Four Seas: the North, South, East, and West, the Sky Island, the Grand Line, the New World… and so on."
"At the very least, the danger is relatively low, and I can also watch some excitement."
Alvida: "…"
Yang Tao took out another office chair and placed it beside him, motioning for Alvida to sit down. The two of them quietly looked forward, feeling the vastness of the ocean.
"What if we encounter pirates?"
Yang Tao: "…"
He lightly glanced at Alvida and uttered a single sentence: "Then we deserve to get rich."
...
Night.
The pirate ship docked beside an unnamed small island. After everyone had rested, Yang Tao rode his magic broom around the island, hoping to see if there were any new Devil Fruit on the island.
It turned out that Yang Tao was completely dreaming; apart from some unknown fruits and animals, there was nothing else in the island's forest.
Returning to the pirate ship, Yang Tao summoned a wooden door and returned to the Overworld, finding the Tinkers' Construct Blacksmith who was developing a new model of Iron Golem.
Seeing him approach, the Tinkers' Construct Blacksmith stopped his work, grunted, and asked, "Brave Sir!"
Yang Tao stepped forward, put his arm around the blacksmith's shoulder, and said with a smile, "Let me ask you something, can you make warships?"
The Tinkers' Construct Blacksmith shook his head and said, "Brave Sir, even if I could think about it, this warship is really beyond my capabilities."
"Without special materials and corresponding power, a warship simply cannot fly…"
Yang Tao's heart, which had plummeted when the Tinkers' Construct Blacksmith shook his head, instantly lifted when he heard his subsequent words. He quickly explained, "It's a sailing warship, not a space battleship. Come on, I'll take you to see it."
With that, he led the Tinkers' Construct Blacksmith towards the One Piece world. Just as he opened the door, a green figure darted over, its intelligent eyes clearly indicating his identity.
'Green Robe Venerable!'
Commonly known as the fool.
"Great Demon King, where are you two going? Can you take me with you?"
When Green Robe Venerable spoke, one of his eyes looked up to the left and the other down to the right. Yang Tao even wondered if this guy could actually see him.
"How did you get out?"
Yang Tao blurted out the question subconsciously, then regretted it immediately after speaking.
However, Green Robe Venerable didn't overthink it. Instead, he directly said, "Haha, those idiots think they can confine me? I just wanted to rest for a few days!"
The Tinkers' Construct Blacksmith extended his hand and waved to his other blacksmiths. In an instant, the Green Robe Venerable, who had just been full of vigor, immediately hugged the Tinkers' Construct Blacksmith's thigh and cried, "I was wrong! Don't lock me up again! The Villagers are simply inhuman… They… wahhh…"
Yang Tao: "…"
If he didn't know that the Villagers merely confined him to his house and didn't let him out, just listening to his wailing, one might think he had been humiliated.
"Forget it, if you want to follow, then follow. But if you cause trouble, don't blame me for personally locking you up."
Upon hearing Yang Tao's words, Green Robe Venerable immediately released the Tinkers' Construct Blacksmith's thigh, stood up again, and with a rather arrogant look, said to the surrounding blacksmiths, "Did you hear that? The Great Demon King said to let me follow! Why aren't you hurrying off to work?!"
Yang Tao: "…"
He ignored Green Robe and directly led the Tinkers' Construct Blacksmith towards the wooden door to the One Piece world.
"Hey, you two, wait for me!"
Green Robe Venerable, with his hands on his hips, saw this and immediately yelled, hurrying to follow Yang Tao through the wooden door and into the One Piece world.
Yang Tao pointed at the wooden ship beneath his feet and said, "It's this ship. I want to upgrade it. Do you think there's a way?"
The Tinkers' Construct Blacksmith took out his trusty small hammer and gently tapped on the deck below, then looked up and said, "I reckon it's not a big problem, but I don't know, Brave Sir, in what direction you want to upgrade it?"
"Is it speed or durability, or perhaps special properties?"
