One Piece meme: Starting with eight extraordinary skills

This time, Yang Ming used another ability from the Eight Extraordinary Techniques.

Both hands!

It can heal the body and also alter the soul.

Of course, the human soul is incredibly profound, and even the Double-Handed Technique can only alter memories at a superficial level, not at a deeper level.

However, if combined with the illusionary abilities of the Mangekyou Sharingan and the Mind Stone, it would be enough to perform a deep soul reconstruction, and could even weave a set of false memories for Scyllachus Apoo, from birth to adulthood, all of which would be false.

Of course, this sounds simple, but weaving human memories is comparable to manually programming artificial intelligence, which is no small feat.

Yang Ming is only using Skulachman Ap to practice now.

In front of Yang Ming, Scyllachus Apoo had absolutely no secrets. Like a rabbit stripped of its fur, all the memories hidden deep within his mind, including the treasures his pirate crew had hidden in the secret corners of various islands, and the scenes of his contact with various forces, were all revealed to Yang Ming.

"This person is very hostile towards the navy."

Yang Ming chuckled lightly, not afraid of turning the man into a complete idiot. He patiently removed the malice towards the navy from his soul, and then simply deleted and added to his memories. This kind of work was obviously much easier than weaving memories from birth to adulthood.

After a lot of work, Yang Ming once again injected Skulachman Ap's soul into the White Zetsu body.

This time, Bai Jue opened his eyes again, but unlike before, he wasn't surprised. Instead, he seemed like a servant who had served Yang Ming for many years, respectfully speaking to him from the side:

"Marshal, what are your orders?"

Looking at the person who had changed so drastically in the blink of an eye, Yang Ming's eyes were deep and thoughtful, and he thought to himself:

"Fate, cause and effect, time and space are the most advanced abilities, but below these, the ability of the soul is the most mysterious and unpredictable. Charlotte Linlin, the Big Mom of the Bigo Pirates, clearly had different experiences in her childhood and later growth, which means that her body was possessed by someone else."

"If I'm not mistaken, the soul currently occupying Charlotte Linlin's body should be Sister Carmel, the one who built the House of the Lambs, right?"

“Foreign things are still foreign things. Others, when facing Big Mom Charlotte Linlin, do not have the ability to target the soul, so it is naturally difficult to deal with Big Mom Charlotte Linlin’s steel body head-on. But I am different. If this guy dares to seek death, with my ability, I can easily take down Big Mom Charlotte Linlin and extract Sister Carmelo’s soul.”

It was precisely because of this confidence that Yang Ming allowed the Whitebeard Pirates and the Bigo Pirates to have frequent contact and form alliances.

Otherwise, given Yang Ming's personality and temperament, he would never have sat idly by and allowed the enemy to grow stronger and stronger, threatening the implementation of his plans.

After putting those thoughts aside, Yang Ming gave an order to Bai Jue beside him:

"Go! Use the Sound-Sound Fruit's power!"

White Zetsu naturally wouldn't refuse. One of his arms transformed into a musical instrument, and his free hand fiddled with it, producing a soft, melodious sound.

"really!"

"The power of a Devil Fruit is not attached to the body, but is bound to the soul of the user."

A glint flashed in Yang Ming's eyes, and he seemed to suddenly realize something.

If Sister Carmel used the Soul-Soul Fruit to possess Charlotte Linlin's body after her physical body perished, then Brook's death from poisoning, and the Revive-Revive Fruit's ability to make his soul drift on the sea for many years before finally finding his own remains and attaching to them, all of these indirectly prove one thing: Devil Fruits are bound to the souls of their users.

Now, with Skulachman Ap as the guinea pig, this has clearly been confirmed.

"Let me see the secret hidden deep within the soul."

Yang Ming once again extracted Skulachman Ap's soul from the White Zetsu's body, ignoring all the complicated memories and instead tracing the secrets deep within the soul.

This search took Yang Ming a full week before he finally found a faint mark deep within Skulachman Ap's soul.

From this mark, Yang Ming sensed something unusual, a strong connection to this world.

No.

Rather, this connection is more like a shackle, like keeping a domesticated Tibetan mastiff in place to prevent it from biting people indiscriminately.

"No wonder, it is said on the high seas that every Devil Fruit harbors a devil."

"This is truly a masterpiece of Mother Nature."

"Compared to Lord Im, this is the true mastermind behind this world."

Although Mother Nature has not yet shown any independent consciousness, acting on instinct like an ignorant infant, she uses the sea and seastone to limit the power of Devil Fruit users, thereby balancing this world and preventing the Devil Fruit powers from becoming too powerful and leaving no room for others to survive.

According to the original work, Lord Im lived for eight hundred years thanks to the sacrifice of the user of the Op-Op Fruit. The World Government he founded also went through the three-hundred-year cycle of dynasties, which clearly affected the operation of this world. That's why he mysteriously handed the Gum-Gum Fruit to Luffy, allowing him to break this unchanging world.

"In this light, my planting of the Ten-Tailed Divine Tree can be considered an exception."

"I wonder how Mother Nature will deal with me."

Chapter 339 I'm here to give you the choice, not to choose for you.

"Ok?"

Just as Yang Ming was playing with the soul of Skulachman Ap in his hand, he suddenly noticed the strange movement of the Ten-Tailed Divine Tree on Gaya Island, 10,000 meters below.

"What happened that caused the Ten-Tailed Divine Tree to send me a signal?"

It was late at night, and a scarlet full moon hung high in the sky.

Through the Rinne Sharingan projected onto the moon, Yang Ming's gaze was able to look directly at Gaya Island, observing scene after scene with meticulous detail.

Meanwhile, over the past period of time, Shanks watched as another group of pirates and bounty hunters ignored warnings and landed on Jaya Island, unsurprisingly becoming fertilizer for the Ten-Tailed Divine Tree, causing it to grow stronger once again. Shanks felt a great unease, as if something terrible would happen if the Ten-Tailed Divine Tree continued to grow unchecked.

Originally, Shanks was not keen on taking the risk of getting involved in such matters.

After all, he is a pirate, one of the Four Emperors who cherishes freedom.

Logically speaking, this kind of matter should be handled by the navy, which would be the most appropriate course of action.

That's why, for a period of time, Shanks had only verbally advised the pirates and bounty hunters who came to the island, without taking any strong measures to stop them.

But now, Shanks, inexplicably, has reached a cooperation agreement with Dracule Mihawk and led a group of pirate crew members to Jaya Island, an island that seems to eat people.

"interesting."

Seeing this through his Rinne Sharingan, Yang Ming stopped his experiments researching the soul.

"I was just thinking about how the mastermind behind Mother Nature's world would target the Ten-Tailed Divine Tree. And sure enough, here it is!"

For Shanks, no, rather, for any Yonko-level powerhouse, the Navy has detailed records. From their birth to their growth and rise to fame, everything is recorded without exception. There are also specialists who analyze these cases to create personality templates for Yonko-level powerhouses and try to analyze their weaknesses.

Of course, on this vast ocean where strength reigns supreme, all schemes and tricks are futile.

The archives and records established by the navy in the past were at most used for reference.

But it is precisely because of this that Yang Ming has a very deep understanding of Shanks, based on the original plot. Although he is a chivalrous man, he is not necessarily willing to stand up for a group of strangers who are greedy for profit.

The only thing that could prompt Shanks to make such a significant change is probably the omnipresent will of the world, Mother Nature.

After all, the Ten-Tailed Divine Tree is, in a sense, a cancer on this world.

If the Ten-Tailed Divine Tree cannot be eradicated in time, this world will gradually be colonized and controlled.

Although Yang Ming never had such thoughts, it was the instinct of the Ten-Tailed Divine Tree. At most, he could only restrain the Ten-Tailed Divine Tree to prevent it from extracting the essence of this world.

Even so, the Ten-Tailed Divine Tree became a thorn in Mother Nature's side, and she wished nothing more than to eliminate it immediately.

The successive waves of pirates and bounty hunters who landed on the island to their deaths were perhaps due to Mother Nature clouding their judgment, fostering their ambition and greed, and making them pawns to test the Ten-Tailed Divine Tree.

Now that the test is over, and they've realized how terrifying the Ten-Tails God Tree's power is, that's why Shanks made this decision.

Besides the Red-Haired Pirates and Dracule Mihawk reaching a cooperation agreement, Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach was still secretly lurking on Jaya Island. When he saw them land on the island, a glint of ambition flashed in Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach's eyes.

"Jie ha ha ha..."

"It's truly a rare sight to see the Four Emperors, renowned throughout the world, and the greatest swordsman in the world joining forces just to eradicate this demonic tree."

"If I wait until they are both severely weakened, I wonder if I can profit from it?"

The world has never lacked madmen and gamblers, and without a doubt, Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach is one of the best. With the opportunity to go all in right in front of him, he certainly wouldn't let it slip by.

A person addicted to gambling, once they have a successful experience, will never allow themselves to miss any opportunity that could potentially double their profits.

With a single thought in mind, Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach concealed all his aura, even his murderous intent, and quietly found a place with a wide view to lie in wait, like the most experienced hunter in the mountains, ready to watch a good show.

"That blackbeard..."

Observing Marshall D. Teach's subtle movements, Yang Ming couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.

Just as Yang Ming was about to enjoy a good show, the Den Den Mushi on the table suddenly opened its eyes.

"Bulu Bulu..."

Pick up the Den Den Mushi, answer the call, and a clear, melodious voice, like that of an oriole, comes from the other end:

"Marshal, we have successfully arrested the remnants of the Don Quixote family."

In recent months, Yang Ming has promoted his right-hand woman Tina to Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters. The Donquixote Family is now only left with Buffalo, Baby-5, and Sugar, three Tom, Dick, and Harry. There is no need for Tina to take action. He can simply order Ain, who now holds the rank of Brigadier General, to lead a team to arrest them.

It has to be said that Doflamingo's network of connections spanned the entire ocean, and everyone had to give him some face. Even so long after Doflamingo's death, he was still able to protect his family members. These connections continued to exert their influence, helping Buffalo and others to evade the law for many years and avoid falling into the clutches of the law.

Unfortunately, after Yang Ming came to power, he launched a heavy crackdown, using the same methods he had used in the West Sea, to completely eradicate the mafia, bandits, and pirates. The local nobles and forces that acted as protectors for criminals were also destroyed by him with lightning speed.

Against this backdrop, Doflamingo's friends in high society were no longer able to provide any help to his family members. In addition, the fact that Vergo, the Donquixote Family's former spy in the Navy, died of anger at a previous meeting meant that no one could tip him off, which made Ain's operation go very smoothly.

With her excellent figure and looks, plus her extensive experience as a maid, Baby-5 is the kind of woman every man would want to recruit.

Unfortunately, Yang Ming was always cautious and careful, and he wasn't the kind of person who couldn't resist a woman's advances, so naturally he wouldn't keep such a hostile woman by his side.

As for Buffalo, with his wretched and ugly appearance and hands stained with the blood of ordinary people, his future is only to be imprisoned in the deep sea prison and become material for the Philosopher's Stone.

However, Yang Ming finally found the sugar he had been longing for.

Having learned their current location from Ain, Yang Ming had already established spatial anchor points in various naval branches along the Grand Line. At this moment, he couldn't care less about watching the battle between the Ten-Tails and the Four Emperors. He immediately consumed a bag of Philosopher's Stones and left via spatial teleportation.

An unnamed island.

This is an unnamed island on the Grand Line, covered in primeval forests. It's not a major transportation route, and since it lacks rare treasures, few people pass by it.

Before Trafalgar Law agreed to the Supernova Alliance and went to Jaya Island, he kept Buffalo and his two companions on the island as a precaution to avoid being double-crossed.

Trafalgar Law's caution, while avoiding the risk of being wiped out by Yang Ming, ultimately allowed the Navy to uncover some clues.

"It's over! Barbie Q is over!"

Buffalo's hands were shackled with heavy sea stone shackles, and he was guarded by two burly naval soldiers. His shifty eyes darted around and he realized that these were top-notch elite soldiers. Even after defeating and capturing them, they showed no sign of letting up and stood guard meticulously, with sentries every three steps and guards every five steps.

Under these circumstances, let alone sneaking out while the navy isn't paying attention, they can't even force a breakout!

Beside Buffalo, a pretty young girl looked guilty and kept saying:

"sorry Sorry!"

"If it weren't for the fact that I and Rodon Island were buying daily necessities and the Navy recognized our identities, we wouldn't have ended up being arrested."

The young girl was in the prime of her life, her face full of collagen was dusty, but her big eyes were bright. If you wiped away the bloodstains and dust from her face, you would surely discover that she had a good foundation as a beauty.
