Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

Although both are silver-haired half-elves and even look very similar, they are still different.

Of course, the main reason Emilia was able to win in the end was because Wood sacrificed his life to seal away the resurrected Emilia.

The Witch of Jealousy posed a great threat to this world, and Wood's act of sacrificing his life to seal her away perfectly demonstrated all the virtues of a knight.

Everyone felt that such an outstanding knight should not be allowed to tarnish his reputation, and because Wood was Emilia's guardian knight, he rightfully won the final victory.

Besides Emilia, the second biggest beneficiary in Dragon Maidens is Anastasia Hessin.

Although she is not the one to whom "Ice Knight Wood" is loyal, everyone knows that Anastasia is Wood's sister.

It was for this reason that Anastasia, who was originally just a merchant, eventually obtained the highest-ranking noble status in the kingdom, and even the surname Hesin became famous throughout the continent.

The name "He Xin" today is no longer just a story about a hero; it is the name of a real hero.

However, Anastasia refused all the rewards from the Dragon-Born Kingdom and instead engaged in a fierce battle with Emilia, who had become the Queen of the Dragon-Born Kingdom. She then returned to Kararaki with the Iron Fang.

Anastasia always believed that her brother Wood died entirely because he became Emilia's knight.

The silver-haired half-elf is a calamity. Her brother has been by her side for over ten years without any problems, but Wood, who has been Emilia's guardian knight for only a short time, has encountered such a thing. How can she accept this?

With the assistance of "Elsa the Bowel Hunter", the Hexin Merchant Guild completely absorbed the assassination organizations of the underworld and expanded into the world's largest merchant guild in a short period of time.

Anastasia had no intention of giving up. Instead, she attempted to use her business acumen and other means to bring down the dragon-owning kingdom of Lugnica, in order to avenge her brother.

While Anastasia was causing trouble for Emilia and the Dragon Kingdom, she was also constantly searching for a way to save her younger brother.

Because the Witch of Greed, Echidna, had told her that, strictly speaking, Wood was not truly "dead," but rather existed on that ice plain in the form of ice.

Echidna said this to Anastasia only to try to ease her sadness, but Anastasia clearly misunderstood and believed that her brother could still be saved.

Since there is magic that can turn a person into ice, there must also be magic to restore ice to a person. As long as such magic is found, her brother can return.

Because she was the sister of the hero who saved the world, the kingdoms turned a blind eye to Anastasia's unbridled behavior, especially Emilia.

But when they learned that Anastasia was going to melt the ice that had frozen the Witch of Envy and restore her brother Wood, kingdoms and most races around the world were thrown into turmoil.

Because it involves the interests of many parties, those in power in the world all believe that only dead heroes are true heroes.

If Wood really does come back to life, then they will be the ones with a headache.

Given Wood's current global reputation and power, if he were to be resurrected, it would greatly impact the authority they wield.

Furthermore, if the ice that Wood transformed into is melted, how will the envy witch, who was originally frozen, be dealt with?

You should know that the "Three Heroes" from over four hundred years ago can no longer be found in the world today, nor can you find an "Ice Knight" like Wood.

The nations that could not tolerate Anastasia's capricious behavior began to suppress her merchant guilds. However, the main concern is that the Hexin Merchant Guild has now become a formidable force.

The original "Iron Fang" mercenary group was incorporated into the underground organization of assassins led by "Hunter" and "Beastmaster", and in the end, the oni twins Ram and Rem, who were also determined to save Wood.

Emilia is currently the most conflicted person. On one hand, she is one of the people who most wants to save Wood, but on the other hand, she is worried that if the Witch of Jealousy breaks free of her seal, it will lead the whole world to destruction.

Therefore, apart from the battles between the various kingdoms and Anastasia, characters like Emilia and Echidna became neutral.

Unlike other kingdoms that opposed melting the ice to save Wood, or Anastasia that was so radical, they were prepared to devise a more prudent solution that would benefit both sides.

Neither Emilia nor Echidna are ordinary people; in terms of lifespan, they can live for a very, very long time, so they have plenty of time to wait.

In conclusion, the world did not return to peace after the Witch of Envy was frozen in ice; instead, chaos erupted once again.

However, a careful observer would discover that a girl with long platinum blonde hair, wearing only a bed sheet, is pulling the strings behind the scenes...

If we were to name the people most dissatisfied with this outcome, the Witch of Envy would be one, and Pandora would certainly be among them.

She herself never expected that after so many years of planning, just when she was about to achieve her goal, and even resurrected the Witch of Jealousy, Wood Hessin suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Pandora had also tried to seal the ice that sealed the Witch of Envy, but even her power to distort reality could not shake the blooming ice lotus.

Since she had no other choice, she could only remain behind the scenes to fuel the flames and even offer Anastasia some assistance.

The world is so big, Pandora doesn't believe there's no way to melt that ice. She's waited for thousands of years, and now she has enough patience to continue waiting.

In contrast to the chaotic "Re:Zero" world, Wood's life simulation has ended once again due to the exhaustion of his life force.

"Ding, the character you simulated has died. This simulation of life in all realms has ended. You have obtained the following inherent abilities of Wood Hexin."

Blessing "Knight's Glory - Modified": When fighting to protect a target, all your attributes, willpower, and recovery will be enhanced to a certain extent.

Blessing "Blessing of the Moon": Fighting in places illuminated by moonlight will increase your speed, strength, and skill power.

"Witch's Contract" (Active): By making a contract with the Witch of Great Sin, under certain conditions and in certain worlds, you can summon the Witch of Greed, Echidna, to assist you in battle.

Passive: Due to the pact with the witch, your mental strength has been enhanced, your magical talent has increased, and the power of your magic has been amplified.

"Upon the conclusion of this simulation of life across countless worlds, in addition to the fixed rewards for the simulated character, the host may choose one of the following rewards."

1. Sword Saint's Blessing: One of the core blessings from the Sword Saint Reinhard, it can cut down things that cannot be cut down and maximize the power of the sword.

2. Magical Blessing: A blessing from the Borderlands Boroswaal, increasing affinity with various elemental attributes and maximizing the power of one's magic.

3. The Invisible Hand: Originating from the power of the Archbishop of Sloth within the Cult of the Witch, it can conjure multiple invisible arms to attack enemies.

Wood Hossin's inherent ability, "Knight's Glory," has undergone a slight change compared to his previous experience in the Re:Zero world.

Previously, this blessing only worked when one was a "knight," but obviously not every world has a "knight" class, so the system made some changes.

As for the three-choice ability that appeared, it didn't surprise Wood much, but it didn't disappoint him either.

The dream-like "Phoenix Blessing," "Return by Death," or even the powerful abilities of the Archbishop of Greed like "Lion's Heart" and Pandora like "Pandora's Reality Twisting" didn't appear. However, the three abilities that did appear were considered extremely powerful even in the Re:Zero world.

The "Blessing of the Sword Saint" goes without saying; it is a unique blessing in the world, the blessing upon which the Sword Saint family depends for survival. Even an ordinary swordsman who obtains this blessing can instantly become the world's top swordsman.

If the "Sword Saint's Blessing" is the most powerful blessing among swordsmen, then the "Magician's Blessing" is the most powerful blessing among mages.

Its effect is also capable of instantly transforming an ordinary mage into the strongest archmage.

Of the three options, the only one that gave Wood a real dilemma was whether to choose "Sword Saint's Blessing" or "Magician's Blessing".

Of the three abilities, "Invisible Hand" was the first one Wood ruled out. The reason is simple: although this ability seems pretty powerful and is a combination of offense and defense, it is actually quite useless in the world of One Piece.

What's the point of having an invisible ability? There are tons of people in the New World who have awakened "Observation Haki." It's impossible to use this ability to ambush strong people, and there's no need to use it against weak people, so it's quite useless.

Even if, hypothetically, this ability could also make Wood's body invisible, Wood might consider it, because at the very least, he could use it for spying...

No, even if it were just about sharing tactile sensations, Wood would accept it. Unfortunately, this thing has almost no other features besides being invisible.

Even if he used this ability to take advantage of beautiful women, without sharing the sensation of touch, there would be absolutely no experience to speak of.

After much hesitation, Wood finally chose "Sword Saint's Blessing" from the three abilities.

Wood's idea was simple: compared to the power of magic, swordsmanship was still one of the mainstream methods in the world of One Piece.

Moreover, compared to the "Guardian of the Sorcerer", the "Guardian of the Sword Saint" has an additional characteristic: it possesses the ability to "slay the unslayable".

In other words, not only those Logia-type Devil Fruit users, but even some practically immortal Superhuman and Mythical Zoan users would probably not get the better of Wood.

Chapter 388 The Loli Who Accidentally Entered the Demon's Den

Pushing open the door to the captain's cabin, I took a long-awaited breath of fresh air and took the opportunity to show my face to Robin and Ruth, and find out if there was any latest intelligence on the high seas.

Robin knew that Wood was concerned about the Straw Hat Pirates' movements, so after Wood came out, she handed him some of the news she had compiled.

Big Mom and Kaido's pirate crews are now locked in a bitter struggle because of the tea party incident. The other pirate crews at sea are like frightened birds, silently watching the two big shots clash to the death.

Then, naturally, many pirate crews saw this as an opportunity and decided to side with one side to kill another of the Four Emperors, thus rising to fame and becoming powerful.

One of them is Gecko Moria, the captain of Thriller Bark and one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

As everyone knows, Gecko Moria and Kaido of the Beasts have a personal grudge. Gecko Moria, who was once a super strong rookie on the sea, once led his pirate crew to challenge Kaido of the Beasts.

Unfortunately, due to Kaido's overwhelming strength, Gecko Moria's pirate crew was wiped out, leaving only him alive.

The devastated Gecko Moria has gone from a powerful figure to a fat, overweight man, his former ambitions crushed by Kaido and reduced to despair.

He even began to believe in the principle that "you can only lose if you live" after all his companions were killed, so he joined forces with the genius surgeon Hogback to build his own zombie army.

After receiving news that the Big Mom Pirates were about to clash with the Beasts Pirates, Gecko Moria naturally felt that the time was ripe.

His "zombie army" alone is naturally no match for the Beasts Pirates, which are currently at the height of their power. However, if the Big Mom Pirates are added to the mix, the situation becomes different.

While his "zombie army" cannot compare to the Beasts Pirates, it still has the ability to beat a drowning dog.

Gecko Moria is determined to avenge the grudge he inflicted on Wano Country 23 years ago on Kaido of the Beasts.

Just as Gecko Moria had assembled his forces and was preparing to set sail under the cover of night, a group of uninvited guests intruded into the Devil's Triangle and, oblivious to their own danger, boarded their base, the Thriller Bark.

Gecko Moria hadn't paid much attention to the man, assuming he was some nobody. He was about to send his subordinate Absalom to deal with him when he discovered that the newcomer was none other than the Straw Hat Pirates, who had recently risen to fame on the high seas.

After looking at Straw Hat Luffy's "Gum-Gum Fruit" ability and thinking about Oars' corpse lying in the freezer, Gecko Moria suddenly had some ideas.

Since you're already going to raid Kaido's Beasts dungeon, why not be even bolder and just replace Kaido as one of the Four Emperors?

Gecko Moria clearly didn't realize that he was no longer the pirate supernova he was 23 years ago, but had become a fat otaku.

He is now one of the "Seven Warlords of the Sea," a figure of considerable importance on the seas. Looking across the entire ocean, the only forces that can rival the "Seven Warlords of the Sea" are the "Three Admirals of the Navy" and the "Four Emperors."

The Seven Warlords of the Sea are already considered high-ranking pirates; above them are the Four Emperors. Gecko Moria has been a Warlord of the Sea for many years, and Kaido has been a Four Emperor for many years, so he now feels it's time for them to switch places.

In the past, Gecko Moria would not have dared to be so arrogant, but after seeing the Straw Hat Pirates arrive on his territory, Thriller Bark, he immediately gained confidence.

By using the power of his Devil Fruit, the "Shadow-Shadow Fruit," to project the Straw Hat Luffy's shadow onto Oars, and combining it with his own power, the strongest zombie would be born!
