One Piece meme: Starting with eight extraordinary skills

“These members of parliament, judges and politicians only protect themselves and their families and descendants, neglecting the true subjects of this country, namely us. Their victory is not our victory, their achievements are not our achievements.”

"While they rejoice and celebrate in God's land, we who struggle in the fields and on construction sites cannot share in their joy at all."

"If you cast your sacred vote for me, I swear in the name of the Shandian chieftain that as long as I can enter the council, all of this will begin to change from this moment on!"

"Because this is our moment!"

"It belongs to us!"

"This moment belongs to everyone present today!"

On the high platform erected in the propaganda square, War Ghost Weapa's passionate and inspiring voice was extremely penetrating, infecting everyone present.

Even the native inhabitants of the Sky Island who held prejudices against the Shandians were deeply moved.

Connie, the angel girl who was going against the war demon Wipa, originally gained a lot of attention with her beautiful face and tall figure, but now she paled in comparison to the war demon Wipa and completely lost all her luster.

This is not because people no longer pay attention to beautiful women, but because in the face of a more lofty ideal, the beauty of women is insignificant.

It's unclear from whom it started, but a voice rang out:

"Wipa!"

This seemed to ignite a fire, completely igniting the passion of the crowd.

"Wipa!"

"Wipa!"

"Wipa!"

"..."

Initially, the message came only from Shandian supporters, but under the influence of their emotions, more and more Sky Island natives joined the ranks of supporters, gradually forming a unified voice.

At this moment, the War Demon Wipa shone brightly!

The Shandians hope that the War Demon Wipa will fight for more living space for them, while the Sky Island natives hope that the War Demon Wipa will fulfill his election promises, give them more rest and entertainment time, and suppress the price gouging on the Land of God so that they can afford to buy houses.

After defeating Enel, Yang Ming enabled all Sky Island residents and Shandians to live in the Land of the Gods.

But wherever there are people, there will be no shortage of clever people, and even more so, no shortage of opportunists.

These people take advantage of the people's ignorance, buying up their houses at low prices. Once the houses in the God's Land are concentrated in the hands of a few, they sell and rent them out at extremely high prices.

Although this does not violate the laws enacted by the Sky Island Council, it is clearly a move driven by greed and will only lead to conflict and contradictions.

This is understandable. The War Demon Wipa originally came to represent the interests of the Shandians, but when he mentioned suppressing the God's Territory and driving up housing prices, he immediately gained the support of many Sky Island natives.

At this moment, the Shandians and the native inhabitants of the Sky Island put aside their centuries-old ethnic conflicts and united against the wealthy.

Witnessing the entire speech by the War Demon Wipa, Sugar and his group were all utterly shocked.

Even though the crowd in the square had dispersed, Sugar and his group were still stunned, standing there dumbfounded, seemingly still recalling what had just happened.

In their eyes, War Ghost Wipa was not a strongman, nor was he a nobleman or wealthy. From any perspective, War Ghost Wipa had nothing to do with the word "strongman".

Yet this seemingly ordinary Shandian possessed a unique charisma characteristic of the strong. Not only did the Shandians fervently support their chieftain, but even the native inhabitants of the Sky Island set aside their prejudices and jointly elected the War Demon Wipa as a member of the council.

During their time on the Sky Island, they learned about the prestige of the council members, who were equivalent to nobles in the various Blue Ocean nations.

How did a leader of a minority group suddenly become an aristocrat?

God!

Either I'm crazy, or the world is crazy!

All of this shocked Sugar and the others, leaving them deeply disturbed.

r.3 Gardino, being older, recovered his senses earlier than Sugar and the others. He raised the back of his hand to adjust his glasses, which reflected a white light. His dark eyes looked at the much younger Marshal Shura with a complex expression. He hadn't expected that Marshal Shura's magnanimity and vision were even greater than Crocodile, the Crocodile who founded Baroque Works.

Do not!

Rather, Crocodile, whom R.3 Gal Dino once idolized, didn't even deserve to shine shoes in front of this Marshal Shura!

Recalling how Yang Ming had subdued them and treated them with great generosity, r.3 Gardino understood that everyone in the world is driven by self-interest, and Yang Ming's kindness must have some ulterior motive.

"Marshal, you brought us to Sky Island specifically because you must have something to tell us to do, right?"

r.3 Gardino's words immediately pulled Sugar and the others back to reality from their astonishment, and they frequently turned to place their bets.

The public square was not the place for conversation, so Yang Ming led them to a secluded corner.

This is the Dinosaur Merchant Guild's production site. The surrounding area had been evacuated beforehand, leaving only a handful of people. It was extremely quiet; you could hear a pin drop. Sugar and the others were somewhat timid, wondering why Yang Ming had brought them here. They swallowed hard, then heard Yang Ming say:

"I need you to build a game."

Everyone: "???"

Chapter 358 One Piece Online

This is the Dinosaur Merchant Guild's production site. The surrounding area had been evacuated beforehand, leaving only a handful of people. It was extremely quiet; you could hear a pin drop. Sugar and the others were somewhat timid, wondering why Yang Ming had brought them here. They swallowed hard, then heard Yang Ming say:

"I need you to build a game."

Everyone: "???"

Sugar and his group were completely dumbfounded!

Who would have thought that the renowned Marshal Shura, who gathered several Devil Fruit users here, would only come here to create a game?

They would have found it hard to believe if they hadn't heard it with their own ears!

Yang Ming could tell from their expressions that they had misunderstood.

"I have always believed that the fate of ordinary people should be in their own hands, rather than hoping for a benevolent official or a god to descend and save them from their suffering."

"But for eight hundred years, the common people have become accustomed to submission, to groveling, and to flattering their superiors, and few have been able to awaken and learn to take up arms to fight back."

"Eight hundred years is enough time to eliminate batches of tough guys, and the minds of the remaining people have long been solidified. It would be extremely difficult to awaken them. The navy can't do it, the revolutionary army can't do it, and it's even more impossible to do it by relying solely on propaganda."

As Yang Ming explained in detail, Sugar and the others were still confused, but R.3 Gardino's eyes flickered, and he understood Yang Ming's meaning to some extent.

"Does the Marshal mean you want to create a game that teaches ordinary people to fight for themselves and their rights?"

"Yes."

Yang Ming gave r.3 Gardino an approving look.

This guy, who survived countless near-death experiences in the original story and managed to latch onto Bucky the Joker, is clearly not brain-dead; he has some brains.

r.3 Gardino is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit user with the Wax-Wax Fruit ability, which allows him to create the player's body using wax.

ISS Golden Week allows players to use paint on a canvas to color the bodies of these players, adding expressions, pain, and sensations to their forms.

Sugar is a Paramecia-type Hobby-Hobby Fruit user, capable of turning people and objects she touches into toys of her imagination. She can provide players with different toy bodies and temporarily erase their memories of the game afterward, only to reseal them when Yang Ming needs them.

As for Yang Ming, he was able to project the Rinne Sharingan onto the moon through the Ten-Tailed Divine Tree, unleashing a wide-range Infinite Tsukuyomi ability to connect the minds of sleeping people to a fictional game platform. Once players logged into the game, the mental connection would be established and the mental energy would be injected into their bodies.

Of course, these are currently just Yang Ming's ideas, and there will inevitably be various difficulties in the implementation process. Whether Yang Ming can successfully realize his vision will only be known after practice.

The Grand Line is clearly not suitable as a starting area, nor is it suitable for weak players to embark on adventures.

Yang Ming built a spatial anchor point in the East Sea Goa Kingdom early on, which can be used as a newbie village for players and allow these ordinary people to get used to the game.

On the other hand, the Goa Kingdom in the East Blue is an extremely dark country, and even the Revolutionary Army has no time to extend its reach here, simply because the Revolutionary Army focuses its attention on the kingdoms of the Grand Line. Yang Ming can use the players' help to bring about reform to the Goa Kingdom in the East Blue.

Of course, chaos created by players is inevitable in this process.

By then, Yang Ming also had a Plan B: to send the navy to occupy the area and change the order of the East Sea Goa Kingdom.

No matter how you look at it, Yang Ming only has the difference between a small win, a medium win, and a big win.

Sugar and the others naturally couldn't refuse Yang Ming's game idea and started rolling up their sleeves to work as laborers.

r.3 Gal Dino's arms transformed into viscous wax, which fell to the ground and, under his careful control, gradually took on human form.

If it were just a human form, it wouldn't require much effort. The real challenge is to carefully control the wax as it cools to sculpt the details of the face, limbs, and other features.

Once the wax figures in human form are completed, they are then painted with various colors by ISS Golden Week, and a lifelike wax figure appears before everyone.

At this time, sugar can turn wax figures into toys.

This also provides players with more choices, essentially offering a race option—either choosing to be human or toy-like, resulting in two different gameplay styles.

Currently, it is still in the internal testing phase. After thinking for a moment, Yang Ming chose two new recruits to test, namely Koby and Helmeppo.

At this moment, at this moment.

East China Sea.

After receiving their mission at the Navy Headquarters, Coby and Bellmare boarded a ship and returned to the familiar waters of the East China Sea, preparing to arrest or kill the escaped former Navy 153rd Squadron Captain Morgan.

However, for some time now, they have been adrift on the vast ocean in their ships, and not only have they failed to find Colonel Morgan, who is wanted by the bounty, they haven't even seen a single pirate in almost a month.

Koby and Helmeppo sat in the wooden boat, struggling to row, complaining as they went:

"The Navy is too corrupt these days. They're not even letting the pirates in the East Blue go. We haven't seen any pirates for a long time."

"That's right. Who can blame them? The bounty missions that the Navy Headquarters has come up with are very attractive. The capable rise and the mediocre fall. With such an incentive system, everyone wants to become the second Marshal Shura. Everyone is so excited."

"Sigh, what do you mean, Bellemere, can't you think of a way to stage a self-inflicted injury to trick your cheap old man into coming to save you, so we can ambush him?"

“Koby, you’re so smart. When has my dead father ever loved me? Even if I died out there, he wouldn’t shed a single tear.”

"Sigh, let's not talk about it anymore. It's already very late. Let's get some sleep first."

The two found a small island, fiddled around with it for a bit, and made a rattan basket to use as a bed. They lay down on it and closed their eyes.

A scarlet full moon hung high in the sky, its nine magatama emitting a faint glow.

Unbeknownst to Koby and Helmeppo, after they closed their eyes, their minds entered a strange mental space—a platform reminiscent of a tavern. Koby's spirit emerged from the bright candlelight, looking around and realizing he was in an unfamiliar place. He instinctively scanned his surroundings warily, and just then, a mechanical voice reached his ears:

Chapter 359 The Heartbreaking Story of Closed Beta Testers

Unbeknownst to Koby and Helmeppo, after they closed their eyes, their minds entered a strange mental space—a platform reminiscent of a tavern. Koby's spirit emerged from the bright candlelight, looking around and realizing he was in an unfamiliar place. He instinctively scanned his surroundings warily, and just then, a mechanical voice reached his ears: "Kanshula."

Welcome to One Piece Online!

Koby didn't see his old friend Helmeppo, but instead saw a black-robed man suddenly appear on the bar counter of the tavern, and the mechanical voice from earlier came from his mouth.

"Hey, where is this place?"
