Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

If Oars were around, Gecko Moria felt he could still consider that position, and with a bit of luck, he might even be able to profit from both the Big Mom Pirates and the Beasts Pirates.

For this reason, Gecko Moria suddenly stopped rushing to settle scores with Kaido and instead set his sights on the Straw Hat Pirates who had arrived on Thriller Bark.

However, the story that followed was almost identical to the original plot. Apart from the absence of Robin, the Straw Hat Pirates still swept through Thriller Bark almost unchallenged.

Absalom, who can turn invisible, was crippled by a furious Kaji for peeping at Nami while she was bathing.

The genius surgeon Hogback was treated like a mosaic on the wall by the Straw Hat Pirates' mascot, who disagreed with his ideas but was also a doctor.

Perona, the last of the Straw Hat Pirates' top officers, defeated the three strongest fighters in a row, leaving them speechless and dejected. However, she encountered the formidable Usopp and suffered a crushing defeat, a direct clash with him.

Originally, they were carrying away a large amount of valuables and preparing to run away, but unfortunately, they encountered another Shichibukai, the Tyrant Kuma, who was ostensibly there to monitor them but actually to act as a babysitter for the Straw Hat Pirates. In the end, they were slapped away by Kuma's ability.

Thriller Bark's final boss, Gecko Moria, successfully obtained Luffy's shadow and also revived Oars the Demon.

However, the slacker, who had been sedentary for years, clearly overestimated his strength and underestimated the so-called protagonist's halo. As a result, his thyroid abnormality almost led to his neck being broken by Luffy.

After defeating Gecko Moria, the Straw Hat Pirates were basically all crippled. However, Bartholomew Kuma, who claimed to be sent by the World Government, could have easily taken down the exhausted Straw Hat Pirates in one fell swoop, but he merely made a brief appearance...

Seeing the headshot of Straw Hat Luffy grinning foolishly in the newspaper, along with the accompanying 300 million bounty, Wood knew that Gecko Moria, with his abnormal thyroid in his neck, was doomed.

Although the newspapers did not report in detail the news of Gecko Moria's death, after all, the "Seven Warlords of the Sea" are "legal pirates" recognized by the World Government, representing their prestige and power on the sea.

It's not a respectable thing for two Shichibukai to suffer a crushing defeat at the hands of a rookie pirate, so naturally they'd try to cover it up if possible.

"Why do you know so much about the Thriller Bark? Do you have informants all the way to the Devil's Triangle?"

The newspapers didn't publish the news of the Straw Hat Pirates defeating Gecko Moria because Wood knew the plot from the time traveler. But Wood was curious as to why Robin and the others knew so much about it.

"It's very simple. There are people from Thriller Bark on our island right now, and she's the one who told us all about the Straw Hat Pirates."

Perona, who was following behind a merman, was now very flustered because she was about to meet an extremely dangerous man.

The other party is a dangerous existence known as the "Ancient Weapon," a big shot on the sea who is said to have connections in all three worlds. Perona even heard recently that he calmly left after a great battle with Big Mom and Kaido of the Beasts, two of the Four Emperors.

Thank goodness, Perona had absolutely no desire to provoke or even meet such an extremely dangerous person. She preferred to stay in her room with her Kumasi and be a homebody.

Unfortunately, she is now living under someone else's roof and has no choice at all...

A few days ago, Perona, who was slapped away by Bartholomew Kuma, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, thought she was doomed.

Unexpectedly, the enormous air shield carried her across the ocean and eventually landed on this island.

Perona was initially quite happy to realize that she was not only alive but had also escaped. However, her happiness quickly turned sour when she was discovered by the patrolling fishmen.

Fish-men are not uncommon on the high seas. When it comes to islands in this vast ocean that can be inhabited by a large number of fish-men and even mermaids, apart from Fish-Man Island, which is tens of thousands of meters deep, there seems to be only one other place...

At first, Perona still held onto a sliver of hope, believing it was all just a coincidence, and used her abilities to turn many fishmen into lazy, unproductive fish on the beach.

But when Robin arrived, Perona couldn't remain calm any longer when she saw the iconic face of the "Devil's Child."

Nico Robin, the Demon Child, is known to anyone with even a modicum of knowledge on the high seas as the second-in-command of "Wood Weapons Company." And with so many fish-men gathered here, Perona could easily guess where she'd gotten herself into this mess...

Dark Island, also known as the "Island of Weapons," is said to be the world's largest arms factory and the territory of the most powerful force in the underworld.

Perona had never met the naval traitor Wood before, but she had heard her captain, Gecko Moria, mention him.

According to Moria, the Navy traitor is the most ambitious person he has ever seen. Although he is not one of the Four Emperors, he already has the connections, influence, and strength to rival them.

Having inexplicably found herself in one of the most dangerous places on the sea, Perona was naturally panicked and wanted to turn around and run away, but behind her was only a vast ocean.

Not to mention that she is a complete landlubber as an ability user, even if she could swim, could she possibly outswim the fish-men and mermaids on the island?

In order to save her own life, Perona had a sudden idea. Seeing Nico Robin rushing over, she quickly introduced herself as an officer under Gecko Moria, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and said that she had come to discuss business.

In Perona's view, although the Navy traitor Wood was powerful, he was still a big shot among the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and she couldn't just ignore him.

Unfortunately, Perona's partner is Nico Robin. Because of her childhood experiences, Robin has struggled to survive by lying since she was a child. Perona's naive level is obviously no match for this mature and sophisticated woman.

Perona, having been dismantled, went all out and used "Negative Ghost" on Robin, causing all the fishmen present that day to collectively fall into a state of "amnesia".

No matter who was asked what happened that day, the fishmen shook their heads like rattles, indicating that they hadn't heard anything, seen anything, or knew anything at all!

Seeing Robin's dark past is far more serious than seeing Boss Wood's dark past.

As everyone knows, their boss, Wood, often has no moral compass whatsoever, but Robin, as the mascot of the weapons company, always cares a lot about her image.

Moreover, almost everyone living on the island knows that Robin is extremely cunning and holds grudges.

If you are targeted by her, your good days are basically over. The fish-men who were there that day understood this, but the little girl named Perona didn't. So Robin has been "entertaining" her quite a bit these past few days.

If it weren't for the fact that the other party was a subordinate of Gecko Moria, and that Wood hadn't left yet, it's really hard to say whether Perona would have been able to meet Wood at all...

Looking at Wood, who appeared to be in his thirties with a resolute and handsome face, but who was not particularly serious or frightening, but rather had a kind expression, Perona really couldn't believe that he was actually the biggest boss in the underworld, a dangerous figure known as the "Ancient Weapon".

"You're Perona, Princess Mononoke? Gecko Moria should be out of favor by now, right? Why don't you start working for me?"

Looking at the pink-haired girl in front of him who was already 23 years old but still looked like a young girl, Wood directly offered to recruit her.

The Ghost-Ghost Fruit's power is quite formidable. So far, it seems that apart from Usopp, its natural enemy, there is almost no one who can counter its power.

You see how arrogant Zoro is, yet he repeatedly bows his head and becomes a nobody in front of Perona.

Perona was one of Wood's favorite female characters when he watched anime. In addition, since there weren't many main combat forces on their island, Wood didn't mind having a beautiful woman by his side.

Wood knew perfectly well that Perona's current delinquent-like appearance was simply a result of being influenced by the dark and gloomy style of Thriller Bark.

After living in Hawkeye's territory for two years, the girl's improved food and nutrition transformed her from a delinquent into a fashionable urban woman. Not only did her appearance undergo an explosive improvement, but even her breasts went from an A cup to at least a 36D.

Why is it that a 23-year-old girl's body can still develop? Perhaps Hawkeye Mihawk has mastered a special massage technique?

But Wood believes that since everyone is a great swordsman, and Hawkeye Mihawk can raise a little girl, there's no reason why he, Wood, can't.

Perona was stunned to hear that Wood had believed her with just a few simple words and intended to recruit her.

Joining a powerful force on the high seas isn't something you can just do casually. Pirate crews of the 'Four Emperors' level, or even ordinary crew members, all have bounties of at least tens of millions of Berries.

Although he was a subordinate of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, he had always stayed on Thriller Bark and didn't even have a bounty. He never expected to join one of the most powerful forces on the sea so easily.

"Captain, isn't this a bit too hasty? She used to be one of Gecko Moria's people, and a high-ranking one at that. Are we just going to let her join us like this?"

Chapter 389 It's Great to Have a Rich Senior Brother

The Wood Arms Company has now offended both Big Mom and Kaido because of the tea party incident.

At this critical juncture, Robin does not object to Wood recruiting combatants, since they do need them now.

What Robin was unhappy about was that Wood trusted Perona so easily, and the way Wood looked at Perona made Robin quite jealous.

I've been by your side for nearly twenty years, growing from a cute little girl into a mature woman, and you haven't shown any interest in me at all.

Now that an "expired Lolita" has come to the door, Wood keeps staring at her. How can Robin tolerate this?

As a transmigrator, Wood naturally knew that Perona was of good character. As for why he was staring at her body, he was thinking about what would happen if Perona's "negative ghost" encountered the "Blessing of the Sword Saint" that he had just obtained.

As everyone knows, Perona is a ghost who ate the Ghost-Ghost Fruit. Her soul can leave her body and float in the air. In this state, she is not afraid of any attack and is even more invincible than Logia-type users. Even Armament Haki cannot do anything to her.

After all, ghosts are not physical entities, and no one can attack such beings, including the ghosts created by Perona.

Therefore, to some extent, as long as Perona can hide her true form well, she can be invincible no matter who she encounters. Her ability called "Negative Ghost" is the bane of the strong!

The "Blessing of the Sword Saint" grants Wood the power to slay the unslayable, but can the "Negative Specter," which has no physical form, be destroyed? Wood is quite curious about this.

“Perona, you should possess a power called ‘Negative Ghost,’ right? Try using that ability on me.”

Everyone present was stunned by what Wood said, and even Perona felt a sense of unease.

She began to realize that she had been too naive. The emperor of the underworld, the world's largest arms dealer, was not someone who could be so easily talked to.

He clearly intended to lull me into a false sense of security, then make me use my abilities to attack him, and finally, out of embarrassment and anger, kill her!

"What's wrong? Does your ability require some kind of activation condition?" Seeing Perona's hesitant expression, Wood couldn't help but ask. But he remembered that Perona's Negative Ghost should be a move that could be used at will.

"Yeah, didn't you hear what the captain said? Quickly use that ability on him!"

Seeing that Wood actually wanted to actively experience the ability of the "Negative Ghost," Robin, who was standing nearby, quickly urged him on as well.

It would be too unfair if she were the only one who was complacent and idle. She also wanted to see the interesting side of Wood, who, faced with Perona's abilities, lamented that he didn't deserve to live in the world.

"Are you sure you want me to use my abilities on you and won't kill me afterwards?" The situation was beyond her control. Although Perona wanted to refuse, she seemed to have no right to do so, and could only ask timidly.

"If I wanted to kill you, I could do it anytime."

Honestly, even if Gecko Moria were still a Shichibukai, let alone now that he's fallen from power, I wouldn't take him too seriously.

I'm letting you use my abilities just to test my newly acquired power. After that, whether you want to leave Dark Island or stay here for the time being is entirely up to you.

Although I'm involved in the underworld, I'm still a businessman, and keeping promises is just the most basic quality I possess.

Perona was unwilling to believe a single punctuation mark when it came to negotiating credibility with an arms dealer, but out of desperation, she finally had no choice but to unleash her ability, "Negative Spectre," on Wood.

A ghost with eyes and a mouth, its body resembling a white rice cake, flew out and circled around Perona. Upon seeing this ghost, Robin, who was standing nearby, took a small step back without making a sound.

She's now somewhat traumatized by the "Negative Ghost" Devil Fruit ability, which is almost impossible to counter, and its effects are most pronounced on the most arrogant and proud person.

Neither Robin nor Ruth wanted to die, so both of them kept a safe distance from Wood while keeping their eyes glued to him, ready to see what classic quotes he might utter in his despair.

However, Ruth and Robin were soon disappointed, because Perona's invincible "Negative Ghost" had encountered an unexpected situation this time.

At first, the "negative ghost" with a mouth and eyes did indeed fly towards Wood's side.

Just as the Negative Specter was making faces, preparing to pass through Wood's body and turn him into a salted fish, it saw Wood draw the demon sword Tenku. As if sensing some danger, the Negative Specter stopped in front of Wood and turned around to hide behind its master, Perona.

"Interesting. I didn't expect these things to be not only products of ability, but also possess a certain degree of intelligence. Are they similar to Big Mom's Homies?"

However, judging from its reaction, my guess should be correct; the "Blessing of the Sword Saint" really can be lethal to it.
