Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

“Gion, I cannot answer your question, because what I want to oppose is not the Navy itself, but the corrupt and chaotic order of this world.”

The Navy is the World Government's lackey, so one day I might become their enemy, but I hope that when that day comes, the one standing in my way won't be you.

There are actually quite a few good-natured naval personnel in the Navy Headquarters, but the strength of these naval personnel alone is not enough to influence the overall situation.

The World Government's power is deeply entrenched. The Revolutionary Army was founded with good intentions, and Dragon is an ambitious person, but that doesn't mean that everyone in the Revolutionary Army is a good guy.

"I know you might not be able to accept it if I said I might no longer be suitable to be in the Navy."

So I don't want to say anything more. Let's make our move, just like twenty years ago. The outcome of this battle will be the answer.

Momousagi naturally couldn't accept Wood's words, because she had always been the person she trusted most and... loved most.

She had been hoping that Wood's secret mission would end and that he would return to the Navy as a new "naval hero".

At that time, Momousagi also decided to boldly express her long-standing love to Wood.

But Momousagi never expected that this encounter would bring such sudden bad news!

"One-Sword Style: Deceptive Rabbit!"

The Kinpira, with legs as long as Momousagi's, drew a magnificent trajectory in the air. A peach-pink crescent slash burst forth from its blade and expanded rapidly in the wind, quickly capturing Wood's entire field of vision.

Faced with the incoming pink slash, Wood gripped the morning dew in his hand tightly and then unleashed a powerful slash as well.

"Hyakki Mitsurugi-ryu - Itachi-ryu!"

Compared to the previous unremarkable clash of blades, this time both of them used outward-firing slashes.

Before the two slashes, one blue and one pink, collided, Robin, Ain, and the others who were watching from the sidelines had already chosen to retreat.

"Long——————!"

When the two enormous crescent-shaped slashes collided in mid-air, the entire earth began to shake violently. The sharp sword energy not only easily shattered everything around it, but also directly caused the ground to split open like a cake, creating a huge canyon in the middle.

At the instant the two slashes collided, Wood and Momousagi, who were originally standing on opposite sides, also disappeared from their positions at the same time.

“Clang——!”

When they reappeared, the two were standing on the floating rocks formed by the shockwave, appearing at a height of 100 meters in the air, and engaging in a super-fast sword duel that was almost too fast for the eyes to follow!

"Hyakki Mitsurugi-ryu - Dual-Sword Style - Yasha!"

"The Ultimate Technique of One-Sword Style - Chaotic Rabbit Slaughter!"

After a high-speed sword duel, the two, who collided in mid-air using "Moonwalk," simultaneously used their own sword techniques.

Moreover, this time the sword technique was obviously much stronger than the previous one. The sword energy that was released from the collision alone easily cut through the adjacent arena building!

Wood was increasingly alarmed by the strength Momousagi displayed. Although Wood was not using magic-enhanced swordsmanship or the power of the "Heart of God" to amplify his strength, he was using the power of the "Sword Saint's Blessing".

It's worth noting that when he used this power, even Hawkeye, known as the "world's greatest swordsman," was completely overwhelmed by him.

But now, facing the same power, Momousagi is able to fight him to a standstill!

Wood's swordsmanship is so high because it is the result of his accumulated swordsmanship insights and experience from multiple worlds and multiple lives. As a result, he has spent several times, or even dozens of times, more time holding a sword than the average person.

So even without using the 'Heart of God' and magic, just using the power of the 'Sword Saint's Blessing,' Wood's swordsmanship level in the One Piece world, even considering those who died like Ryuma and Kozuki Oden, would definitely place him among the top three.

But Wood, who now possesses such strength, has failed to defeat Momousagi. Considering that his physical abilities are superior to Momousagi's, he is actually at a disadvantage in terms of swordsmanship!

"I have always felt that I am inferior to you, whether in swordsmanship, strength or intelligence."

You not only possess exceptional talent but also a brilliant mind, enabling you to anticipate events with uncanny foresight and make correct decisions ahead of others.

I always thought that one day you would replace Fleet Admiral Sengoku and change the current state of the Navy, and I would dedicate myself to assisting you. That's why I've been training and getting stronger so that I could help you in the future. But now you, you bastard, are telling me you're truly going to betray the Navy!

When Gion first graduated, she always worked hard to become stronger, which was indeed due to her youthful arrogance and unwillingness to admit defeat.

However, as time went by, it gradually smoothed out her proud edges.

As she grew older, her initial resentment towards Wood gradually transformed into affection.

The reason she initially trained to become stronger in order to defeat Wood gradually changed to becoming stronger in order to help and protect the person she loved!

The change in her mindset caused Momousagi, who had already hit a bottleneck, to experience another rapid surge in strength.

Gradually, she began to understand that wielding a knife for others is faster and more powerful than wielding a knife for oneself!

The sword I used to wield was merely for the purpose of becoming stronger, but now, imbued with conviction, its power is naturally incomparable!

The pink slash transformed into a leaping rabbit, ultimately shattering the illusory Yaksha form created by Wood's slash, and continued its momentum towards Wood's location.

Wood, who witnessed this scene, showed a slight look of surprise. He then covered his right foot with Armament Haki at the "Ryuo" level and followed up with a whip kick, directly kicking Momousagi's greatly weakened external slash away.

"Whoosh—!"

Even with its power greatly reduced, when Wood kicked the pink-red slash and it landed on the arena stage, it still easily sliced ​​the central stage in two!

Not only the arena, but also the circular audience seating area was cleaved in a huge trench by Momousagi's slash.

This is the arena's rest time; otherwise, Momousagi's slash might have caused far more than just countless deaths and injuries.

However, the commotion caused by Wood and Momousagi's fight was too great.

So soon, the contestants who came to participate in the arena because of the "Flame-Flame Fruit" were also drawn to this huge commotion.

"That navy cloak, and that figure... Why is Admiral Momousagi, one of the Navy Headquarters' top combat forces, here!"

Who was that guy fighting her, capable of fighting a Marine Admiral to this extent?

Most of the people who came to participate in the arena were criminals and pirates, so when they recognized that the slash they had just witnessed was released by Admiral Momousagi, they were in a panic.

Just kidding, the other party is a Marine Admiral, one of the strongest at the top of the pyramid on the high seas. Although Momousagi is a woman, no one present dares to underestimate her.

Many people even saw Momousagi appear on the island and sensed that something big was about to happen, so they immediately prepared to make a run for it.

However, just as these people who were preparing to run away stepped out of the arena, a beautiful figure with long, wavy, sea-blue hair suddenly appeared in front of them.

And then, pink flames erupted from his hands, which he hurled at the people who were trying to escape.

As the flames struck the pirates and criminals, these originally burly men were transformed into a group of young boys, much to the astonishment of onlookers.

After using the "Rewind Fruit" to select a few guys who didn't seem like good people as a warning to others, Ain drew the "Gebrushott" pistol from his thigh and addressed the crowd.

"If you don't want to die, don't wander around. The navy will come to help evacuate you soon."

Ordinary people can leave, but pirates and criminals all have to stay here!

Because of her childhood experiences, Ain has a deep hatred for pirates. Therefore, in her opinion, most of the people who come here now are not good people either, so she does not intend to let these people go back to the sea and wreak havoc on others.

"Who do you think you are? You're just a mere rear admiral. Do you think you can stop all of us?"

The admiral is right in front of us, and someone is blocking him. This is a rare opportunity. If we don't run now, will they be able to escape later?

Faced with Ain's threat, most of the pirates and criminals present naturally did not intend to cooperate and were ready to attack Ain directly.

However, just as they rushed towards Ain, another slash suddenly fell from the sky, landing directly between them and Ain.

When the massive crescent-shaped slash left its mark on the ground, the hard surface was easily sliced ​​open like a cake, instantly forming a huge canyon nearly ten meters wide and tens of kilometers long.

Without a doubt, it was Wood who delivered the slash, but it was also because he took the opportunity to swing the slash that Wood revealed a slight opening in front of Momousagi.

When Gion's slash came down again, Wood, who was hastily parrying, was sent flying like a cannonball.

"boom------!"

The body fell at high speed, accompanied by a deafening roar and a violent shaking of the ground, creating a huge crater in the earth.

The onlookers initially thought that the person who had just fought against a naval admiral was probably doomed.

However, the next second, accompanied by a strong gust of wind blowing away the sand and dust on the field, the figure that had been knocked away by Admiral Momousagi stood up again without a scratch.

And because of the violent impact just now, the black robe that had covered the other party's head was blown off by the strong wind, revealing his face that had been unclear before.

"Ancient Weapon Wood! Why is the infamous Arms King here?! And why is he fighting with a Marine Admiral?!"

"That traitor Wood, what's that brat doing here too?!"

"Damn it, if such an important figure is here, then all the attention that was originally on me has been stolen!"

When Wood revealed his face, all the competitors in the arena were shocked.

Among those present, quite a few knew Wood; some were kings who had bought weapons from him, while others had only heard of his name.

Others had some grudges against Wood, such as Burgess of the Blackbeard Pirates and Chinjao of the Happo Navy who once blocked Wood.

Previously, everyone was wondering who had the courage to challenge a naval admiral to a duel.

However, when they saw that the person was Wood, they were no longer surprised.

Ancient Weapon Wood has become famous throughout the world since the world-shaking "Marineford War".

Through that battle, the opponent demonstrated overwhelming strength comparable to, or even surpassing, the Four Emperors and Marine Admirals, proving that he was not just a simple arms dealer.

No one was surprised that the other party could fight a Marine Admiral. What puzzled everyone now was why Marine Admiral Momousagi and Ancient Weapon Wood were in Dressrosa, and what caused their sudden fight.

"That Wood guy, didn't he say he wouldn't get involved and that he would definitely keep a low profile? This is what he meant by keeping a low profile. Isn't he much more high-profile than that?!"

Chapter 590 How can you be so good at bragging?

"Lucy, do you know the guy who fought the admiral?"

Seemingly hearing Luffy's mutterings, Rebecca, who was wearing an ancient Roman helmet and armor that looked almost like a bikini, looked at Luffy curiously and asked him a question.

To be fair, although Luffy is a total straight man and an emotional idiot, his luck with women is truly amazing.
