Having traversed countless realms, can you possibly be as clever as me?

"From this day forward, you will be blessed with treasure. All treasures will no longer be a secret to you, and the direction you take will surely lead you to the treasure you have always longed for!"

959 >>

"—Whether it's Captain John's treasure, ancient weapons, or even One Piece!"

"You no longer need a pointer, you no longer need a map; you only need to desire it, and you will surely reach your goal."

As he spoke, a radiant light, representing a blessing, enveloped Bucky—the core blessing bestowed upon him by Tsurugi in the guise of the God of Conflict.

Because he stole a portion of the divine power of Eris from this world, the blessing he bestowed upon Bucky revolved around 'luck'.

As he said, Bucky will from now on be a living treasure map and a permanent compass. As long as he doesn't change his mind and just moves forward, the ocean currents and fate will surely lead him to the destination he desires.

Even the One Piece doesn't require the historical records of the sea routes or any puzzles to be pieced together; as long as you think about it, you will surely reach it!

The blessing took effect immediately, and the scene cut off instantly, but Bucky didn't seem very happy.

"Hey, hey!!!" Buggy's eyes popped out as he yelled at Tsugumi.

"No, that's not right! I wished to become the Pirate King!!!"

"So this is your wish?" Tsugumi looked at Buggy, a sly smile spreading across her face.

"You yourself said it wasn't about wealth, status, or power. So I didn't directly give you One Piece, or grant you the power of the Pirate King or the influence of the Pirate Emperor."

"I have given you the ability to access all the treasures in the world, and 'strong luck' will bless you to get what you want, which is exactly what you have been hoping for. The game of pirates is not a game of strength, but a game of who can find the treasure the fastest, isn't it? If I gave you the treasure directly, how could you be the Pirate King? You would just be a lucky rich man."

"So, let's strive to gain everyone's approval and become the Pirate King, Buggy!!!"

"Then, I wish you all the best on your journey to becoming the Pirate King, Garo~~~"

Tsugumi smiled, waved, and vanished, leaving Buggy completely dumbfounded.

"Ouch, ouch!!!!!!!!!!"

And without a doubt, Bucky's wish successfully stirred up a storm around the world!

First, there were countless ordinary pirates. Although they didn't know Buggy at all, they were immediately impressed when they heard him so contemptuous of the Four Emperors, insult Shanks, reveal himself as a member of the Pirate King's crew, and declare his ambition to become the Pirate King!

"Buggy, we're joining Captain Buggy's crew! We'll support him becoming the new Pirate King!!!"

Countless pirates, filled with boundless passion, yearn to join Buggy's crew and become the Pirate King's crew, seeking a shortcut to that goal. But what about the Four Emperors' faction?

"Gurarararararararar! That red-nosed brat's got some skills!!!" On the Moby Dick, Whitebeard took a big gulp of wine, laughing as he watched the dissipating sky.

"But want to become the next Roger? We'll see if you have the ability! Kids, pass down the order: hunt down this red-nosed brat with all your might!!!"

Whitebeard's sons immediately raised their weapons and cheered, expressing both indignation at their father's insult and excitement at the prospect of soon seizing the Pirate King's treasure.

Kaido and Big Mom reacted similarly. They were puzzled for a long time before remembering the red-nosed brat from Roger's ship, and then immediately revealed a sinister smile.

"You've got guts, kid! But we still need to see how strong you are!" He then immediately ordered his men to search for Bucky's whereabouts.

"Hahahaha, Bucky, I can't believe you actually do that! Hahahahaha!!" Shanks laughed, wiping his eyes as he laughed, then drew his sword, 'Griffin'.

"Then I need to bring you onto my ship before anyone else finds you!!!"

Characters like Shanks, Rayleigh, and Japa, former crew members of Roger, were initially taken aback by Bucky's wish, but then burst into relieved and joyful laughter.

As expected of a member of the USS Al Jackson, Bucky, keep your spirits up and don't embarrass yourself!

If the pirates admired Buggy and were eager to capture him because they were unaware of his strength, then the Navy's intentions were much simpler.

"What? Bucky's bounty? 1500 million? Lying low in the East China Sea? Hiss... With such ambition and power, how can he be so low-key? This kid is not to be underestimated!"

"No matter what, we must not allow the waves of the ocean to rise any further. Issue a warrant for his arrest! As for the bounty—set it at 30 billion!!!"

Thus, a fresh bounty was born, and Bucky the Clown—no, now his nickname is 'King Clown' Bucky—became famous throughout the seas with a bounty of 30 billion Berries, the same as the Four Emperors!

By the time Bucky learned of all this, he had already put on a facade.

Although he was momentarily filled with bravado, Bucky's true nature remained that of a coward. Looking at his three billion bounty, Bucky was utterly terrified.

No, no! If this continues, I'll be caught sooner or later. Whether I'm a Marine or a pirate, it seems like I won't end up with a good fate!

959>>>>

Damn it, how could I have gotten so carried away with my emotions and done something so stupid?

Bucky frantically complained about his stupidity, but at the same time, he also planned to secretly gather a crew and set off on a treasure hunt.

Despite his fear, how could Bucky not be tempted when the opportunity for success was right in front of him?

At worst, we can just go into hiding and secretly retrieve the treasure!

Haha, if I just disguise myself well, like painting my nose green, then no one will recognize me!

With these thoughts in mind, Bucky strode forward, carrying his last remaining treasure, ready to gather an army!

When he arrived at the town's bar that was recruiting sailors, there were four chattering people in front of the recruitment board.

"Kazuma! Let's go! Take me to find that evil god who's impersonating me!!!"

"Shut up!!! It's not enough for me to just defeat the Demon King, I also have to help you defeat an evil god?!"

"That's not important. Kazuma, I haven't even used my Explosion Magic yet!"

"Ugh, pirates! If they catch me, they'll definitely torture me horribly, won't they? They'll take off my armor, refuse to give me water, and then tell me I can only drink theirs when I'm parched..."

What?! These four weirdos!

Bucky's eyelids twitched as he looked at the four people in front of him: a boy who looked cunning and dishonest, a strange female knight with golden hair wearing armor, a little girl with a stick and a big hat, and a... stupid woman cosplaying as Aqua?

Hiss~~~~~

Bucky suddenly felt that he shouldn't get involved with these guys, otherwise a bleak future might await him.

So Bucky pretended not to see him, posted the recruitment notice for seamen, and hurried away.

However—the next afternoon passed, and not a single person came up to him.

What?! Just because I don't have a ship, I'm not famous, the salary I'm offered is low, and there's no job security... does that mean they're completely ignoring me?

Just as Bucky was feeling discouraged, four people suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Are you gathering the sailors?" Kazuma approached and grasped his hand with a very sincere look in his eyes.

"Please be sure to let us join your team!"

679. Revolutionaries and One Piece - No Spoilers Allowed

"Dragon, can we really trust them?"

Standing beneath the walls of Alabasta, gazing at the bustling, thronging city, Ivankov looked at the dragon with some concern.

"Even if we are theoretically a group, ultimately we are not true believers..."

“Ivankov, even after thirty-eight years, you still haven’t been able to decipher the meaning of that god who impersonated a messenger.”

Seeing Ivankov's worried expression, Long revealed a confident smile.

"From beginning to end, that 'god' only wanted to see two outcomes."

"He hopes to see ordinary people living in peace and contentment on this vast sea, enjoying a beautiful and happy life."

"Similarly, he also hopes that ordinary people on the sea will never stop fighting and will always have the courage to raise their swords against the strong who oppress them."

"Therefore, he will support the cause of our revolutionaries no matter what, and after he chose Alabasta as the first place he would appear after his reappearance, this place will surely become a new stage in our cause!"

Ivankov scratched his head, then spread his hands.

"Okay, I'll just do whatever you say."

Thirty-eight years after the God Valley incident, Ivankov, his two companions, and the dragon escaped from there and have been working together ever since.

After leaving the Navy, Dragon soon chose to establish his own revolutionary cause. Ivankov, Big Bear, and Ginny became the first members of the organization, and under Dragon's guidance and training, they grew rapidly.

Twenty-two-year-old Ginny and Big Bear chose to get married, and the following year they had a daughter, whom Big Bear named Bonnie.

The revolutionaries' activities over the past thirty-eight years can be described as both successful and unsuccessful.

On one hand, because of their fear of Aqua and Tsugumi, the Celestial Dragons and the World Government dared not carry out a brutal crackdown on the Axis cultists. However, as a result, those who escaped from God Valley were subjected to strict surveillance by the CP organization.

So much so that Ivankov was later abducted by CP0 agents and taken to Mary Geoise.

It's not that the Celestial Dragons have any special fetishes; it's simply because those Celestial Dragons, living a life worse than death in Mary Geoise, are desperately searching for Devil Fruit users to try and lift their curses.

The Hormone Fruit's ability to modify the human body caught the attention of the Celestial Dragons, who attempted to heal him, but with little success.

So Ivankov spent over a year as a slave in Mary Geoise, until one day he caught the eye of a Celestial Dragon...

Of course, it wasn't about doing *that* kind of thing; it was purely because they were interested in the hormones Ivankov could inject into their bodies, giving them a brief physical and mental 'orgasm'.

It can only be said that perversion is not something that can be curbed by physiological changes. However, Ivankov took the opportunity to release the news, escaped, and cooperated with Dragon to burn Mary Geoise and free a large number of slaves. As a result, he was severely wanted by the World Government, and the revolutionaries also came into the World Government's sights.

What happened after that was unremarkable. Although the World Government pursued them, it still dared not touch the Axis Cult. Under the cover of the Axis Cult, the Revolutionary Army suffered negligible losses. Now, they have even liberated more than thirty non-member states across the world.

Compared to the Sweat King in the original Fateline, Dragon's career in this worldline is truly thriving.

But now, their careers are reaching an even greater peak!

Before even entering the city, a man approached Long—it was Kou Sha, who had risen from the dead. As if he had expected this, he shook hands with Long and said solemnly...

"As fellow believers of Lord Tsugumi, our causes are aligned. Rest assured, Alabasta will also be a home for revolutionaries in the future."

Dragon nodded, then asked, "So, what happened after you killed Admiral Akainu last time?"

Kou Sha briefly explained what happened next.

After killing Akainu, Vivi reverted to her Devil Fruit powers and returned to her original personality. She felt terrified about what she had done, but also gained a new understanding of her past actions.

Because she also gained Queen Lily's 'memories' during the synchronous transformation—of course, that was completely fabricated by Tsugumi, but the general outline and key figures were correct.

The illegitimacy of the World Government, the Celestial Dragons' betrayal by using Im as a subject of the Full Moon, the freedom represented by the D. clan as subjects of the Half Moon, and a whole bunch of other things.

In short, the world government cannot be allowed to exist!

Realizing that if Alabasta didn't resist, it would eventually be submerged by the sea due to Im's frequent use of Uranus, Vivi chose to stand with Koza and the others, and began to take action as the Saintess of Axis.
