One Piece meme: Starting with eight extraordinary skills

In an instant, the entire Gaya Island trembled violently, the earth cracked open into huge ravines, and an unprecedentedly huge divine tree burst forth from the ground, stretching out its extremely exaggerated wood tendrils and trunk. A huge flower bud bloomed on the crown, and a huge scarlet Rinne Sharingan suddenly opened in the center of the flower's stamen.

Chapter 337 The wind brings the seeds of a story, and time makes them sprout.

Grand Line, Gaya Island.

The crimson moonlight peeked through the slowly moving dark clouds, and in a fleeting glance, one could see the outline of nine tomoe appearing on the moon, as if a deity was observing this world through the mouth of a bottle, giving one a strange sense of dread.

The surrounding sea was shrouded in darkness, with only the sound of the waves continuing.

A small boat came from afar, its surface lit with eerie green lights, like a legendary vessel that ferry the dead to the underworld. As the lone boat parted the waves, it slowly approached the deserted island that had been abandoned for a month.

A tall and imposing figure stood on the lone boat, arms crossed over his chest, his sharp, hawk-like eyes gazing intently ahead.

The night was pitch black, silent and eerie. The wind howled coldly outside, and the rustling of leaves could be heard from time to time. Thin wisps of black mist lingered in the air, drifting over Gaya Island, a deserted island, making the large tree in the center of the island appear even more sinister and terrifying.

This giant tree is over a thousand meters tall, standing on the earth like a skyscraper. Its tangled roots entwine and spread across the ground, with roots as thick as three people could hug covering the entire earth, as if the whole island had become its sustenance for growth.

The trees drooped with long, thin branches, beneath which lay abundant fruit, resembling pupae. One could clearly hear the heartbeats of humans emanating from within these fruits. If one were to investigate with Observation Haki, one might even discover with horror that these fruits contained the remains of the missing Supernovas.

The bearded middle-aged man pressed one hand on his black top hat, and with the other hand slowly drew the black sword Yoru from behind him. This was the world's strongest black sword, one of the twelve supreme grade swords. It had a chaotic, heavily decorated, T-shaped blade that was over two meters long and weighed more than ten tons. Ordinary people would never be able to lift this black sword.

But this handsome middle-aged man is clearly not among them.

The heavy black sword Night was as light as a feather in his hands, and he wielded it with ease.

A chilly night wind blew by, causing the black trench coat to rustle. The crimson moonlight shone on the middle-aged man, who wore a burgundy patterned shirt underneath a black trench coat, white trousers, and black ankle boots. A small cross-shaped knife hung on his chest.

Without a doubt, there is only one person in the world dressed like this, and that is Hawkeye Dracule Mihawk, known as the world's greatest swordsman.

"Even I feel a sense of threat from such an evil thing, and it gives me a long-lost sense of challenge."

Each of the supernovas is a figure of interest to major powers and has the potential to become a trendsetter.

If it were just one supernova that went missing, it could be explained by its burial at sea. But when several supernovae go missing together, the implications are quite different.

Especially now, with Marshal Shura using ruthless methods to thoroughly eliminate mafia, bandits, and pirates in various places, these people are already on edge, and any slight movement on the sea will arouse their vigilance.

The mysterious disappearance of several supernovas naturally leads others to associate it with the Navy, assuming that they were secretly arrested or killed by the Navy.

However, some people do not think so, especially the remnants of the Don Quixote family.

Trafalgar Law once fled overseas with the remnants of the Donquixote Family. Later, he formed the Heart Pirates and recruited them all into the crew. This time, with the Supernovas forming an alliance, perhaps to avoid a situation where they were betrayed, Trafalgar Law did not take the remnants of the Donquixote Family with him, but instead left them to stay on a safe island.

These people naturally knew about the Supernova Alliance, and it was precisely because of their existence that some people felt there was something fishy going on.

When they arrived at Gaya Island, they saw this terrifying giant tree that was a thousand meters tall.

Pirates who wanted to explore secrets or find treasures left behind by the supernovas all disappeared without exception once they set foot on Jaya Island.

But now it seems they have all become fruits on this ten-tailed divine tree.

Hawkeye Jorah Mihawk had been adrift at sea for a long time, always wanting to find the mysterious person who split the clouds across the world with a single stroke. Unfortunately, his search was fruitless. In addition, he was frequently hunted by the Navy. He also heard that a terrifying demonic tree had appeared here. Driven by his curiosity, he traveled thousands of miles to this place, wanting to challenge his limits.

Just as Hawkeye Dracule Mihawk was about to challenge the Ten-Tailed Divine Tree, a familiar voice suddenly came from the side.

"Old friend, I advise you not to do this."

"Ok?"

Hawkeye Jorah Mihawk turned his head sharply and saw the sound of waves coming from afar, shrouded in a thick black mist. A giant red ship slowly approached, and a middle-aged man with red hair sat cross-legged at the bow. He had several scars around his eyes, wore a white shirt underneath a black cloak, and his left arm was bare.

The person who can speak so freely with Hawkeye Dracule Mihawk is none other than Shanks, one of the Four Emperors.

Hawkeye Dracule Mihawk frowned. He knew Shanks' character well and knew that the man never spoke without reason. Moreover, he had come all the way from the New World. Could there be some special reason behind this?

"Shanks, could it be that you know the origin of this magic tree?"

No, I don't know.

The giant red ship was anchored on the shore, but Shanks, like Dracule Mihawk, did not go ashore. Instead, he gazed solemnly at the deserted island ahead and said:

"In fact, I heard about the disappearance of several supernova juniors a week ago, so I came here specifically."

"Back then, this magic tree wasn't as tall as it is now. But when many pirates and bounty hunters who wanted to explore and search for treasure landed on Jaya Island, they were all captured by this magic tree. It seemed to have received a great deal of nourishment, and its trunk grew taller and taller to its current appearance."

"hiss!"

As Shanks recounted his story, even Hawkeye Dracule Mihawk couldn't help but gasp.

Shanks, his face grave, said in a deep voice:

"As you know, like Captain Roger, I have the ability to hear the voices of all things, but I cannot sense any goodwill from this demonic tree. Instead, it is filled with malice towards all living beings."

"No! Rather, this demonic tree is a malice toward this world."

"I can't see through the power of this demonic tree, but whenever I want to make a move, my Observation Haki keeps warning me. That's why I deliberately stay nearby to dissuade anyone who wants to land on the island, so as to prevent any more outsiders from landing and becoming fertilizer for this demonic tree."

"What exactly is this demonic tree? How come I've never heard of such a thing before?" Hawkeye Dracule Mihawk's expression hardened, and he said in a deep voice, "There used to be a rumor on the sea that Devil Fruits were born from the Devil Mother Tree. It is said that the Devil Mother Tree can produce countless Devil Fruits that flow into the sea. Could it be that this is not a rumor, but the truth?"

"After generations of scientists have discovered that the legend of the Demon Mother Tree is nothing but a fabrication." Shanks shook his head and sighed, "But I sensed from the feedback of Mother Nature that this world is rejecting this demon tree, as if it were some kind of terrifying creation."

Mother Nature!

This is a term unique to this world.

In fantasy novels, it could also be called the Heavenly Dao, which has no self-awareness but balances all things in the world in the dark.

The reason why Devil Fruit users are countered by the sea and Seastone is precisely because of Mother Nature's arrangement.

While the two were talking, they were completely unaware that a disheveled middle-aged man was hiding beneath the tangled tree roots on the ground of Gaya Island.

"The Demon Mother Tree?"

Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach muttered to himself, his eyes gleaming with ambition.

If you look closely, you'll see that Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach is covered in green slime, which is a potion carefully ground for him by the ship's doctor, Poison Q. It is made from the root of the Ten-Tailed Divine Tree and various herbs to mask his aura, helping Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach hide on Jaya Island.

As an ambitious and ruthless figure, Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach arrived at Jaya Island earlier than Red-Haired Shanks. He lay in ambush there early on, hunting down pirates and bounty hunters who came to the island to explore and search for treasure. He also looked for Devil Fruit users with good abilities, intending to steal their Devil Fruit powers.

Unfortunately, whenever he tried to do so, the demonic tree would be one step ahead of him, enveloping the Devil Fruit users in its pupa-like fruit before he could kill them.

Although the Ten-Tailed Divine Tree stole the main body of the Blackbeard Pirates, Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach did not come away empty-handed. Through intimidation and assistance, he quietly recruited a group of skilled fighters and expanded the size of the Blackbeard Pirates.

Hearing their conversation, a sudden surge of ambition rose in Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach's heart.

"If I use the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit, can I take this demonic tree for myself?"

Whether it's Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach's little tricks or the reunion between Red-Haired Shanks and Hawkeye D. Mihawk, nothing escapes the gaze of the crimson moon in the sky.

High above Gaya Island, at an altitude of over ten thousand meters, through the connection between his Mangekyou Sharingan and Rinne Sharingan, Yang Ming took in everything. He sat cross-legged on a beach chair and chuckled softly.

"The wind brings the seeds of stories, and time makes them sprout."

Chapter 338 Supernovas Become Experimental Subjects

"Ding!"

"Congratulations, host, for reciting a classic line from Genshin Impact. You have been awarded one chance to draw a prize. Would you like to activate the prize wheel?"

A lottery wheel that looked quite familiar to Yang Ming appeared.

The prizes on the lottery wheel are divided into several categories: summoned characters, artifacts, items, talent skills, and skins.

【The End of the Golden Kingdom】: One of the artifact sets from the Historical Tales of the Sand Pavilion. (2/4)

Collect both pieces for the set bonus: Gain 15% Anemo DMG Bonus.

Collect all four pieces for the following effect: After a heavy attack hits an enemy, the character's normal attack speed is increased by 10%, and the damage dealt by normal attacks, heavy attacks, and falling attacks is increased by 40% for 15 seconds.

Gently swirling the wine glass in his hand, Yang Ming lowered his head and took a sip. The slightly acidic wine blossomed on his taste buds, bringing a pleasant taste experience.

Planting the Ten-Tailed Divine Tree on Jaya Island was merely a casual move by Yang Ming, but unexpectedly it attracted Red-Haired Shanks and Hawkeye Dracule Mihawk.

Fortunately, thanks to his connection with the Rinne Sharingan of the Ten-Tails God Tree, Yang Ming's vision was greatly enhanced by the reflection of the moon at night. If he were to spy on an island more than 10,000 meters above the ground, even Shanks and Dracule Mihawk would not notice anything amiss, since this was far beyond the warning range of their Observation Haki.

Of course, if one immerses oneself in this kind of observation of all things in the world for too long, it is easy to develop the illusion that one is a god and to breed an unwarranted arrogance.

Yang Ming has always been steady and methodical in his approach. As soon as he sensed such a tendency in his mind, he immediately cut off the connection to the spying.

Yang Ming turned to look at the white figure standing motionless beside him.

【White Zetsu】: A derivative of the Ten-Tailed Divine Tree, possessing the ability to split, spore technique, disguise technique, pitcher plant, and mayfly technique.

After capturing the supernovae, the Ten-Tailed Divine Tree absorbed nutrients from their bodies, giving birth to these pale human figures. They can naturally blend into the earth and trees, and their existence is completely undetectable unless one frequently activates Observation Haki.

It's fair to say that White Zetsu is the best candidate to act as a spy and operative.

Of course, given Yang Ming's current status and position, with the Navy Headquarters' secret special forces and the Akatsuki organization under his command, he is not short of manpower at all.

The reason Yang Ming caused the Ten-Tailed Divine Tree to give birth to White Zetsu was simply because he wanted to conduct certain experiments.

At Yang Ming's feet lay a fruit resembling a cicada pupa, inside which was bound one of the supernovas, Skulachman Ap.

Yang Ming put down his wine glass, his hands becoming hazy with a shimmering light.

Eight Extraordinary Techniques! Spirit Binding and Commanding!

This is an ability comparable to the Soul-Soul Fruit, capable of imprisoning the souls of others.

Yang Ming reached into the fruit with both hands without any hindrance, and when he pulled them out again, he was holding a semi-transparent soul figure in his hands, which was none other than Scyllachuman Apoo, one of the supernovas.

However, Scyllachus Apoo's body is now bound within the fruit, and he has fallen into a long-term coma. If it weren't for the Ten-Tailed Divine Tree injecting vitality into his body, he would have starved to death long ago after not eating or drinking for so many days.

However, if a person remains unconscious for an extended period of time, it can lead to a loss of consciousness and awareness of the soul.

Like many so-called medical miracle stories, a person in a vegetative state, after a long period of unconsciousness, suddenly awakens one day, only to find they have completely forgotten their past memories and are utterly unfamiliar with everything. (Reading by [Name of author])

Although Skulachman Ap did not fall to this state, his soul was completely dazed and confused, at the mercy of Yang Ming, who injected it into the body of the White Zetsu beside him.

In a short while, Bai Jue, who had been like a puppet, suddenly opened his eyes. The moment he saw Yang Ming, he let out a gasp:

"why you?"

Yang Ming frowned slightly, and before Scyllachus Apoo could react, he slapped White Zetsu unconscious and extracted Scyllachus Apoo's soul again.
