Chapter 86: Things aren't that simple.
"of course."
Gu Beichen smiled and ruffled her hair. "Right now, I can handle the Five Elders and the Celestial Dragons, and even Im poses no threat to me."
As he spoke, his gaze pierced through layers of space and landed on the mysterious woman sitting on the throne deep within the Red Earth Continent.
The woman noticed Gu Beichen's gaze, and the moment their eyes met, it was as if invisible sparks flew in the air.
"This person's strength is unfathomable."
Im became secretly wary.
In the blink of an eye, Gu Beichen had already traversed thousands of miles with Kuina and Zoro, appearing directly in this alternate dimension.
"welcome."
Im suppressed his inner wariness and wore a polite smile.
"interesting."
Gu Beichen raised an eyebrow and said, "I thought you would take action immediately, but it seems you are calmer than I expected."
"Anyone who can sit in this position should have some brains."
Im calmly replied, "I wonder what your purpose is?"
Thinking of her backup plan, she gradually regained her composure.
"Debt collection."
Gu Beichen said bluntly, "You should understand what I mean."
Im's eyes flickered slightly: "I need to confirm the specifics."
She quickly contacted the Five Elders and soon learned the details of the matter.
“I can withdraw the arrest warrants against them.”
She glanced at Kuina and suggested, "How about we settle this matter here?"
"It's a beautiful thought."
Gu Beichen fiddled with the bracelet, a half-smile playing on his lips.
"Don't push yourself too far!"
Im narrowed his eyes. "I've already let go of the CP0 matter, and you've even got that Space Fruit. Isn't that enough?"
"Add fifty more Devil Fruits."
Gu Beichen refused to budge an inch.
His aura surged suddenly, and the entire space began to tremble.
Im hurriedly released his power to stabilize the space, gritting his teeth as he said, "Stop! I promise you!"
With a casual wave of his hand, fifty Devil Fruits instantly appeared in front of Gu Beichen, piled up into a small mountain.
"so much!"
Kuina and Zoro stared wide-eyed, unable to help but gasp in surprise.
Kuina's eyes lit up even more—these were all precious points.
"Okay, let's just let this matter drop."
Gu Beichen put away the fruit and gave Im a cold look. "Keep your people in check, and don't mess with me again."
After saying that, he turned and left with Kuina and Zoro, glancing at the huge straw hat in the corner before he left.
Once he was sure they were far away, Im finally couldn't contain his anger and smashed the armrest of the throne with a single blow: "Damn it! I'll get my revenge sooner or later!"
After leaving the subspace, Kuina couldn't help but ask, "Group Leader, even you can't do anything about Im?"
"It's not that we can't handle it."
Gu Beichen shook his head and explained, "She is now integrated with the world's authority. Unless I want to destroy the entire pirate world, I can't kill her."
Unless his strength increases further, he can forcibly strip her of the power she controls.
"what?"
Kuina was shocked. "Then does that mean no one can deal with her? Unless..."
Unless she becomes stronger than the current group leader in the future.
"do not think too much."
Gu Beichen interrupted her thoughts, "Things aren't that simple."
Gu Beichen gently shook his head: "Outsiders cannot truly defeat Im, but if it is the local pirate king, as long as the strength is comparable, there is a chance."
He has just discovered the secret hidden in the Im space—about the erased history of eight hundred years ago.
Kuina suddenly thought of a question: "Is there any connection between the big straw hat that Im has and Luffy's straw hat? I remember that Luffy's straw hat was passed down from Roger to Shanks and then given to him."
She keenly sensed that this might be related to that blank period in history, a truth that the world government was trying its best to hide.
Gu Beichen smiled approvingly: "You've observed very carefully."
That straw hat is actually a symbol of world power; whoever obtains it will become the master of the Void Throne.
However, this game only applies to One Piece players; outsiders like us can't participate.
"Could it be that Im was once the Pirate King?"
Kuina's eyes widened in surprise. "Could those Celestial Dragons' ancestors have been her crew members?"
Zoro, listening from the side, was completely confused and felt that it would be more practical to practice swordsmanship.
"Yes, that's it."
Gu Beichen answered affirmatively.
Kuina suddenly realized: "No wonder the world government wants to cover up this history."
If the truth is revealed, their so-called orthodoxy and justice will collapse.
What right does a world government established by pirates have to represent the world's orthodox order and justice?
"Is it interesting?"
Gu Beichen smiled and said, "The prophecy says that the next Pirate King will come from the D clan. He is the one who can compete with Im for the right to rule the world."
Before the final battle, Im was unable to personally eliminate the new candidate for Pirate King.
"Roger and Luffy both have the surname D,"
Kuina's expression was complicated. "What is this? The dragon slayer becomes the dragon himself, a never-ending cycle?"
Gu Beichen gently patted her head: "Don't think like that."
Whether one becomes a dragon or a guardian depends on personal choice; there is no absolute right or wrong.
He speculated that the original World Government and the Twenty Kings were not necessarily evil, but that they gradually became corrupt and degenerate over time.
But one thing he was certain of was that, apart from the royal family of Alabasta, the other nineteen Celestial Dragons' ancestors were not clean from the very beginning.
"Creator"
It's just a title they gave themselves.
"I'll lend a hand on Luffy's path to growth,"
Kuina clenched her fist. "I believe he won't let me down."
Thinking of the single-minded Luffy and Nami in the video, she was certain they wouldn't turn into evil dragons.
"as you like."
Gu Beichen ruffled her hair. "Now that you're safe, I should go."
Devil Fruits will be available in the Myriad Realms Pavilion; points will be yours.
You can pick the fruit you want in advance.
"No need, my family and I don't need it, let's sell it all."
Kuina shook her head, looking at him reluctantly, "Can't you stay a few more days?"
Gu Beichen smiled and waved his hand in refusal: "Next time! I have something to take care of here, I'll be going now! Good luck! Be careful, and contact me anytime if you need anything!"
He casually bought a time-travel talisman, and in a flash, he disappeared from the spot.
...
Inside the Myriad Realms Research Institute, after more than a month of hard work and with the assistance of Gu Beichen, He Xi finally completed the analysis of Gabriel's genes and perfectly integrated them with the Angel genes, successfully developing a new generation of Angel genes.
"Finally done!"
He Xi breathed a sigh of relief, pushed the technical data and gene serum in front of Gu Beichen, sat down next to him, rested her chin on her hand, and looked at him with a smile: "Could you help me test it again? I think this time it should be fine."
The collaboration over this period of time made the two more and more familiar with each other, and He Xi gradually became attracted to Gu Beichen.
He is not only outstanding in appearance and powerful in ability, but also possesses sharp thinking and excellent research ability, all of which aroused He Xi's strong interest in him.
Originally aloof, she now enjoys teasing Gu Beichen, leaving him both amused and exasperated.
This "Pipi Xi"
Her image has completely overturned Gu Beichen's initial impression.
"Hold on."
Gu Beichen put down his work, carefully checked the technical data, and only picked up the gene serum after repeatedly verifying that it was correct.
He focused his mind, activated the system's auxiliary functions, and conducted a comprehensive analysis of the medicine.
Ten minutes later, he shut down the system and looked at He Xi with a smile: "Congratulations, it was indeed a success! This version of the gene serum is very complete, and we can begin the upgrade plan."
"Really?"
He Xi's eyes lit up, and she playfully reached out to hook his chin: "How about you get a shot too, little brother? That way we'll be the same kind, how perfect a match!"
"Snapped!"
Gu Beichen shoved He Xi's hand away: "Stop touching me like that."
Forget about the angel gene injection; I plan to develop a custom version based on your system, one that preserves the original genetic structure.
"This plan is really not suitable for me, you know that."
He Xi tilted her head and chuckled, "Whatever you want, but you're getting more and more interesting."
Gu Beichen's lips twitched.
What kind of nonsense is going on in this woman's head?
"I'm leaving now; I need to report the progress to Keisha."
He Xi waved and left the laboratory.
After reviewing the documents, Gu Beichen strolled towards the commercial district.
The scenery of Multiverse City is truly stunning, and the air is incredibly fresh, even surpassing the Pokémon world.
He designed every plant and tree here himself, and he makes improvements from time to time.
The shop was packed with people, and business was booming as always.
"Can you handle today?"
He leaned against the counter and asked Xiaoxue.
"It's alright, but..."
Xiaoxue wiped the glass, "I need to hire a few helpers, otherwise I won't have time to cultivate."
"Let Naz transfer a few reliable girls from the group."
Gu Beichen looked at the bustling shops and pondered.
No matter how important business is, it cannot interfere with the spiritual practice and life of those around you.
Just then, a new message popped up in the chat group.
