We all time-traveled at the same time, but why isn't anyone human?

Chapter 93: The Dragon Appears in the World, What is the First Wish Made?

One Piece world.

The Holy Land, Mary Geoise.

Inside the World Government headquarters building, the Five Elders casually leaned back on the sofa, flipping through the newspaper in their hands.

Those news items that could shake the world are nothing more than topics of conversation in their eyes. With a single word or a wave of their hand, they can change the world situation.

"This year's celestial gold (rain) is less than in previous years. What went wrong?"

Among the Five Elders, Topman Vochuli Saint, known as the God of Law and War, asked a question casually, his eyes sharp.

"They are the revolutionary army."

"The revolutionary army has been more active in recent years. This year, they overthrew five countries in one fell swoop. The heavenly gold that those countries were originally going to send to the Holy Land was intercepted by them and given to the lowly people."

"The God of Agriculture," Shepard Stephen Pitt said calmly, taking a puff of his cigar.

"Ha, the revolutionary army, huh?"

With a bald head and dressed in Wano Country-style clothing, the financial warrior Izabaron V. Nasujuro, who looked like a samurai, was slightly taken aback, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Since its founding 2,002 years ago, the Revolutionary Army, under the leadership of Monkey D. Dragon, has stirred up trouble around the world, instigating rebellions, overthrowing the royal families of dozens of kingdoms, and posing a huge threat to the member states of the World Government.

The Five Elders had considered capturing them, but the dragon was extremely powerful and unfathomable, and his actions were very meticulous and disciplined.

Several of the World Government’s attempts to capture them ended in failure, which instead greatly damaged their prestige.

This incident involving the Heavenly Gold was yet another operation that the Revolutionary Army had been planning for a long time.

"Put some pressure on the Warring States side. I don't care what methods they use, the Heavenly Gold must be paid in full this year."

Nasujiro examined the "First Generation Kitetsu" in his hand, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, and said.

Recently, many research projects have been progressing on Egghead Island, requiring substantial funding.

The Celestial Dragons' daily rations cannot be reduced; all kinds of fine clothes, food, slave trade, and extravagant lifestyles must be provided.

All of these require money.

The Five Elders don't care how the countries under their rule are doing, but they can't take away a single penny of the money, slaves, and resources that are handed over.

As for the revolutionary army?

Once they've finished their recent work and have some free time, they will definitely mobilize their forces to wipe out this rebellious organization.

Rumble.

however.

Just as the Five Elders were about to end the discussion about the Heavenly Gold and the Revolutionary Army and move on to the next topic, the new generation of "pacifists,"...

A deafening roar suddenly rang in their ears.

"What happened?"

The bald swordsman, Nasujuro Sei, rushed out the door in surprise.

As the headquarters of the World Government and the Celestial Dragons, Mary Geoise should be the safest place in the world, so how could such a huge sound be coming from there?

"Report—report to Nasshoulang Saint—Heaven, Heaven—"

however.

The guard outside the door pointed in shock at a certain direction in the sky, his body trembling uncontrollably from excessive fear, and he could barely hold his weapon.

In the sky?

Nassou looked up at the sky, and the other five elders also looked up at the sky at the same time, in the direction the guard was pointing.

In an instant, his pupils contracted sharply.

It is a dragon.

A real dragon appeared before them.

It is not Kaido's "Fish-Fish Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Azure Dragon Form".

It's not Loki's "Dragon-Dragon Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Nidhogg Form".

It was a real dragon, a divine dragon!

Its body is at least over 50,000 meters tall — this figure is not accurate.

Even as it circled again and again, its dragon-like form, faintly visible beneath the clouds, still eclipsed the world, darkened the sky, and turned day into night.

Under the gaze of that enormous dragon, even Mary Geoise, a holy land, appeared as small as a Lilliputian kingdom. Giants that were originally more than ten meters tall were smaller than dust in its eyes.

If it's just a matter of being big, then it's not a big deal.

The elephant-like creature in the ocean is also over 30,000 meters tall, but the Five Elders are not surprised by its appearance. Even they themselves can transform into enormous beings through the Mythical Zoan Fruit.

The problem is that the aura it exudes is simply too astonishing.

"Is it Conqueror's Haki?!"

Nasujiro gritted his teeth; even with his strength, he felt his legs trembling and his body crying out for help.

His Observation Haki, honed over many years, was desperately trying to convey an important signal to him: he was going to die!

Yes, in front of that divine dragon, Nasujiro couldn't find a single possibility of defeating it, and even the possibility of escaping was zero.

If he were to be looked down upon by that terrifying dragon, his only fate would be death.

"Quickly—quickly go and fetch Lord Im—this—this could be the legendary god—"

Saint Vochuli took a deep breath, trying his best to suppress his inner fear, and wanted to invite Lord Im from the "Flower Chamber".

In his view, only the "King of the World," who possesses the highest power in the world, could possibly defeat the enormous dragon before him.

however.

What he didn't know was.

Deep within the flowers, "Im," who had grown distinctive horns on his head and wings and a pointed tail on his back, transforming him into something resembling a demon, was now overwhelmed by the aura of the divine dragon in the sky.

His face was ashen, he knelt on one knee, his right hand gripping a long-handled weapon tightly, his body trembling uncontrollably.

What exactly is that divine dragon?!

Cold sweat beaded on Im's forehead. The giant black ring filled with pupils that had been floating behind him actually produced a faint cracking sound under the pressure of this powerful aura, and a fine crack spread out from it.

He had no doubt that if he continued to endure this level of pressure, he and his Devil Fruit would be crushed.

"How could such power possibly exist in this world, Joy Boy? No, even Joy Boy back then didn't have this kind of strength."

Im's voice was trembling.

He originally thought that only a few people in the world, such as Joy Boy and the David family bloodline, could threaten him.

Who would have thought that a blue dragon would suddenly descend from the sky, its mere presence enough to make him breathless.

What kind of creature is this?

Mythical Zoan? Ancient Weapon? Creatures like Zunesha?

Im searched through all the knowledge and experience in his mind, but still could not connect the dragon with any of the races he knew.

The only creature somewhat similar to it is probably the sea king.

However, even the largest sea kings could not possibly be this large, let alone possess such a powerful aura that could crush even him.

Could it be that—

"If it really is a sea monster, it was likely born eight hundred years ago, or even earlier."

"The battles and conflicts that we humans experience on the mainland and islands may seem as ridiculous as ants fighting to it."

In an instant, Im felt a chill run down his spine, and a host of thoughts came to mind. He imagined a tremendous origin story for Shenlong Luping, and how insignificant humanity was in the face of the vast and boundless ocean.

Sea kings were the true masters of this ocean in ancient times.

The so-called ancient weapons and the so-called four gods are nothing but human arrogance.

From the first life to emerge underwater to the giant beasts of the Stone Age, perhaps this dragon has witnessed the rise and fall of countless civilizations, and the rise and fall of one race after another, just like humans.

In its eyes, Devil Fruits were probably just ordinary fruits from the previous era.

Thinking about this, Im felt that everything made sense, and the psychological gap caused by being crushed by the strong became much more comfortable.

He got it.

He understood completely.

The dragon's reappearance must be to leave this ocean.

Such a powerful being may have cultivated for tens of thousands of years and would not care about the battles fought by humans on the ground.

This time, it leaped from the ocean, intending to transform into a true dragon and travel beyond the world to more distant places.

It doesn't care about these ant-like humans, nor does it pose a threat to them. The dragon is like a natural phenomenon, like the ocean, mountains, or forests; it appears once and then disappears quickly.

Yes, that must be it.

Im murmured to himself.

However, what Im didn't know was...

The dragon's form wasn't limited to appearing above Mary Geoise.

In all the seas, on the Grand Line, in the New World, in Alabasta, in Wano Country, on Egghead Island, in all the countries and islands of Elbaf.

From the sky islands and small sky islands in the sky.

Fishman Island, which descends into the deep sea.

Wherever there are living beings, if you look up, you can see that huge azure dragon, coiled up and floating in the sky.

What's even more baffling is...

Under the aura of that divine dragon, the stronger one was, the more pain and oppression one felt, and one couldn't help but kneel down. Conversely, the weaker one was—

Those who felt refreshed and relaxed felt much lighter, and were able to stand up straight with their chests out.

Kaido of the Beasts looked up at the sky and at the divine dragon. His heart pounded, and he knelt on one knee, feeling a strange sense of awe.

Charlotte Lingling put down the cake, her face covered in cream, and looked at the dragon with a furrowed brow. The steel balloon's body was twisted and trembling under the weight.

Red-haired Shanks gripped his sword, his expression extremely solemn as he gazed at the divine dragon in the sky, unable even to unleash his Conqueror's Haki.

The white-bearded man squinted, pulled out the medicine and needles stuck all over his body, looked at the enormous dragon, and let out a hearty laugh.

Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Vivi, Smoker, Akainu, Kizaru, Aokiji, Jinbe—and so on and so forth.

At this moment, everyone in the entire One Piece world is looking up at the sky, at the dragon that everyone can see, and a thousand different thoughts are arising in their hearts.

Boom!

As the dragon surged, the clouds rubbed together, and faint thunder rumbled, shaking heaven and earth.

Suddenly.

Then a sound, ancient and profound, like a muffled thunderclap, slowly descended, in a way that everyone could hear and understand, even the blind, deaf, and mentally blind could directly comprehend its meaning.

【Children of the sea, I am the divine dragon】

Lu Ping calmly said that with the abilities of "Reflecting All Things" and "Transdimensional Evil God", its clones can cover the entire pirate world in an instant.

Furthermore, if he so desires, with a little time and effort, it can even travel to the "past" of the time of Lox, where such miracles also unfolded and illuminate the world.

I possess the power to grant any dream in the world. Whoever finds one of the Dragon Balls I left behind will have their wish fulfilled and their dreams realized.

Compared to the original Dragon Ball anime where you need to collect all seven Dragon Balls, Lu Ping has relaxed the requirements considerably; you only need to find one Dragon Ball to have your wish granted.

The reason he set this condition was to give more people the opportunity to make a wish; otherwise, apart from the Four Emperors, ordinary people would never be able to collect all seven Dragon Balls.

The locations where Dragon Balls appear are completely random, including the four seas, the New World, the Red Line, Fish-Man Island, and so on. But what can be guaranteed is that they will always appear in areas inhabited by humans.

Lu Ping wouldn't deliberately put the Dragon Ball in a hard-to-obtain place; he just wanted to help others fulfill their wishes.

Among all the wish-granting machines in the heavens, those with ulterior motives, he was the most honest and gave the most generous benefits.

[After each dream is fulfilled, the Dragon Balls will reappear in another place. However, each person can only make one wish at most. Even if they obtain the Dragon Balls again, they cannot make another wish.]

Lu Ping continued to add to the rules, saying that the rule that each person can only make a wish once is also to prevent the Dragon Balls from being monopolized by powerful figures like Im.

If you can make wishes repeatedly, the first person only needs to wish that "every time a Dragon Ball appears in the future, it will fall into my hands," and then they can exploit a bug to make wishes infinitely.

Although this design can't completely eliminate bugs, Lu Ping, as a living wish-granting machine, has the final right of interpretation.

Make a wish, and he will become Shenron, Doraemon, or a kind man full of love and hope.

Anyone who tries to exploit a bug can become the Black Grail, or Kyubey, showing them that there are a million desperate ways to fulfill a wish.

Go and search, my people.

Wealth, fame, and power

Immortality, omniscience, omnipotence

I've staked everything on the Dragon Balls. If you get the Dragon Balls, you can get everything you want.

boom!

The dragon's voice, like a thunderclap from a clear sky, resounded in every corner of the world, heard clearly by every living being.

Its figure quickly disappeared above the clouds, and Im and the other powerful figures immediately felt the powerful aura emanating from them vanish.

It was as if the dragon had never appeared at all.

The Holy Land, Mary Geoise.

"To fulfill a wish?"

In an instant, Im's face turned extremely ugly. He stared in the direction the dragon had left and strode away from the flower garden.

problem occurs.

Something a thousand times more terrifying than the appearance of "Joy Boy" has happened.

As the king of the world, the one who felt the most direct pressure from the dragon, Im had no doubt that the dragon could do everything it said it could.

Even overthrowing the World Government and killing himself would be nothing more than a flick of a finger for Shenron.

and so.

He would never allow anyone to get the Dragon Balls before him.

He is offering an unprecedentedly high bounty for the Dragon Balls.

Im's figure kept flashing. He had never been so flustered before, not even during his decisive battle with Joy Boy eight hundred years ago.

"Statistically speaking, the most likely group to obtain the Dragon Balls are the common people from all countries, who make up the largest number of people."

Im gritted his teeth and forced himself to calm down as he analyzed the situation.

"Ordinary people have no idea how powerful the dragon is. Faced with the choice between real bounties and the vague wish, they would most likely choose bounties."

"As long as someone hands over the Dragon Balls, I will wish that they will never appear in the world again—I don't need something so unstable to threaten my rule."

Im didn't even dare to make any wishes for being "the strongest" or "invincible," because he knew that the final interpretation of everything was in the hands of the dragon.

Even if he wishes to be the strongest, what if the next person wishes to be "stronger than him"?

As long as the Dragon Balls exist in the world, he will always have to bear enormous risks.

Of course, wishing that the Dragon Balls would never appear in the world could also be risky, but in the face of Shenron, who is far stronger than him, he could only gamble that the other party was willing to abide by the rules.

Revolutionary Army Headquarters.

"A dragon? Granting wishes?"

Hahahaha.

"It seems that the World Government has reached its end even without our intervention."

After hearing the long speech delivered by the dragon, the dragon revealed a strange expression, then burst into laughter, its eyes narrowing.

He didn't know if the dragon could really grant all wishes as it claimed, but based on the information he had, its power far surpassed that of all the strongest beings in the pirate world.

Therefore, as long as someone makes a wish to "overthrow the King of the World", Shenron will definitely be able to grant it.

Given the nature of the Celestial Dragons in the World Government, they would definitely react very strongly upon learning this news.

Even within the Celestial Dragons themselves, divisions can arise.

My dream has come true.

-

Even ordinary Celestial Dragons aspire to become one of the Five Elders.

The Five Elders also want to be Im.

Human desires, like dreams, are endless. The higher one's position, the more one fears that a certain wish might destroy one's position and plunge one into the abyss.

It was the penniless, desperate commoners who were most delighted by the appearance of the dragon.

Even if things get really bad, it's just the destruction of the world. If we can drag the Celestial Dragons down with us, it's worth it.

"Dragon, should we also issue some orders, instructing our people to do their utmost to seize the Dragon Balls?"

Beside the dragon, the King of the Transvestites, Ivankov, asked with a serious expression, though he was not as optimistic as the dragon.

The wish-granting power of the Dragon Balls is not divided by faction. If the World Government gets the Dragon Balls first, wouldn't things be even worse?

"No need."

Dragon shook his head and said calmly, "A person's dreams are not limited by their status. What do you think the people in the World Government would wish for if they obtained the Dragon Balls?"

"Or rather, let me ask you, if you obtained the Dragon Balls, what wish would you make?"

In an instant, Ivankov was speechless, a deep look of contemplation on his face.

The Whitebeard Pirates.

"Woo-la-la-la!"

Upon seeing the dragon appear and utter words about "making a wish," Whitebeard let out a thunderous laugh, causing the entire cabin to tremble. His sons, who were surrounding him, all looked at Whitebeard with excited expressions.

"Dad, let's go steal the Dragon Balls! If we get the Dragon Balls, we can wish for your illness to be cured and for you to return to your peak condition."

"Are you stupid? If you could have all your dreams, why would you make such a small wish? Of course, you should wish for your father to live forever and be the best in the world."

"Oh, is that really possible? What if that dragon can't do it? Wouldn't that be really awkward?"

"Hmph, I bet it probably can't do that either. I don't believe there's anything in this world that can fulfill all of people's wishes."

Beside him, the captains and members of various squads were all talking at once, creating a lively atmosphere. Many of them had already begun to fantasize about what they would wish for after obtaining the Dragon Balls.

The white-bearded man just smiled and looked at them for a long time before slowly speaking.

"Whoosh, my little ones, let's set sail and steal the Dragon Balls!"

"Ooh ooh ooh ooh!!!"

In an instant, countless swords, spears, and halberds were raised simultaneously, and the White Team erupted in thunderous cheers. Countless people were hoping to use the Dragon Balls to make a wish and help their father return to his peak.

However, they did not notice that the white-bearded man's face showed no ambition or desire to become stronger, only doting and kind affection for them.

Wishes and such.

The white beard has already been achieved.

He didn't care about things like peak strength, recovery from illness, or being invincible.

As long as I can continue my free adventures on the high seas with my sons, that would be the perfect dream come true.

"A dragon?"

On an unnamed island, Blackbeard, who had defected from the White Clan, watched the dragon's departing figure with intense ambition on his face.

"Thief, hahaha!!"

He let out an extremely arrogant laugh, revealing his gaping teeth, and stood atop a mountain peak, pointing a finger in the direction of the dragon.

"That's more like it! Those idiots from the Great Pirate Era only knew how to play house. Only the Great Dream Era ushered in by Shenron" can give birth to the true strongest.

Blackbeard believes in dreams.

But Blackbeard didn't believe in naivety.

Dreams aren't something you can achieve by laughing foolishly and having a few friends eat and drink on the high seas.

It requires patience, lying low, calculation, and planning, and finally, decisive action to kill with a single blow.

Only a man who does all of this to the extreme is worthy of talking about dreams and worthy of realizing dreams.

Originally, Blackbeard's dream was to become the ruler of the world, to be the Pirate King and the King of the World.

Im, who killed his father Rocks in God Valley, will surely take that man's head, not for revenge, but to fulfill his dream.

Anything that stands in his way must die.

Now, as the era of the Great Dream begins, Blackbeard's ambitions swell once more. He wants to be like Im, immortal and eternal, to rule this world for a thousand years, ten thousand years, or even forever.

However, there is one thing that makes him different from Im.

Blackbeard was never afraid of chaos or bloodshed; in fact, he enjoyed it.

If Im gets the Dragon Balls, his first thought is to hide them forever and not let anyone make a wish.

When Blackbeard got the Dragon Balls, he thought about becoming stronger, gaining a longer lifespan, and more powerful abilities.

As for those who later wished to become stronger?

It doesn't matter, I'll just go steal the Dragon Balls again and kill that guy again.

The black-bearded man, who carries the blood of the David family, is destined to bring endless chaos and slaughter throughout his life.

Dragon Ball.

I'm definitely going to grab it!

The East China Sea, a wooden barrel floating on the sea.

Luffy held his breath, his body huddled awkwardly inside the barrel, thinking about the image of the dragon that had suddenly appeared before his eyes, but he felt nothing.

He didn't know what others thought, but he knew that he had only one purpose in setting sail: to form a pirate crew, find One Piece, and become the Pirate King.

This goal, this dream, can only be realized by him.

As for using the Dragon Balls to grant wishes—

It is not impossible.

"I want to wish for lots and lots of meat, more meat than I can eat, preferably bone-in meat, roasted until crispy and juicy—"

'

"Ugh, I'm so hungry~"

Luffy imagined a mountain of meat in his mind, and his mouth watered so much that it almost submerged the wooden bucket. He hadn't eaten meat for a long time since he set sail, and he was already hallucinating from hunger.

That's just his personality.

Becoming a pirate is Luffy's dream, but he will not achieve this dream through any means.

Just like in the movie, after Luffy obtained the permanent Log Pose that could directly lead to "Laugh Tale, the final island," he crushed it without a second's hesitation.

Both he and Blackbeard firmly believed in the existence of dreams, but they took completely opposite paths in their pursuit of those dreams.

Blackbeard is a results-oriented person. He will use any means necessary to achieve his dream: killing his colleagues, defecting to the Navy, releasing prisoners, killing Whitebeard—the process doesn't matter as long as the dream is realized.

Luffy is a process-oriented person. For him, pursuing his dream is just as important as realizing it. This process can only be completed by himself, in the way he wants. The journey of pursuing his dream is itself part of his dream.

It's impossible to compare which is better, but Luffy clearly has no interest in the upcoming "Great Dream Era".

His dream can only be realized by himself.

Soon, news of Shenron's appearance and the Dragon Balls' ability to grant wishes spread throughout the world.

Morgans, the president of the World Economic News Agency, immediately judged this news as "the biggest news that will change the course of history," and immediately printed countless copies, using a whole page of the newspaper to publish a lot of information about the dragon. They took more than 10,000 photos in various countries and islands.

Splash!

In countries, islands, and on ships around the world, seagulls slowly toss down newspapers; the bold, blacked-out headline boldly proclaims a single line of text—

Is the Great Pirate Era over? The Era of Great Dreams is Coming!

This is an era with a wider scope, more people involved, and more vested interests than the Great Pirate Era, and—almost without end.

In the era of great dreams, everyone—even miners, farmers, Kabukicho dancers, and dockworkers—has the potential to rise to the top and become the center of the world.

Mr. 0 of Alabasta, Crocodile, narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the Shenron in the newspaper, which appeared in different regions but looked exactly the same, and a solemn expression appeared on his face.

Enel, the god of Skypiea, frowned deeply. He pondered the words spoken by the dragon a few days ago, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, considering whether to leave Skypiea, enter the Blue Sea, and steal the Dragon Balls.

Gecko Moria of Thriller Bark looked at the newspaper in his hand with a gleeful smile on his face. This time, he might have a chance for revenge, as long as he could get that Dragon Ball.

The Empress of Amazon Lily, CP9 of Water Seven, Doflamingo of Dressrosa, Magellan of Impel Down —

For a time, the entire focus of the One Piece world was on the upcoming "Great Dream Era".

Everyone wants to know.

Who will get the first Dragon Ball, and what will he wish for?

at the same time.

East China Sea, Orange Town.

The sea breeze, slightly salty, wafted towards him. A clown wearing a captain's hat and with a red nose, looking both frightening and comical, was enjoying a sunbath while eating oranges, a specialty of Orange Town, with a contented expression.

He is Buggy, a former apprentice of the Roger Pirates with a bounty of 1500 million Berries.

At this moment, Buggy is fantasizing about obtaining the Dragon Balls, forming the Buggy Grand Fleet, and becoming a legendary figure on par with the Four Emperors.

"Hehe, if I got the Dragon Balls, what would I wish for?"

"Should I make Shanks kneel at my feet and say, 'Bugsy-sama, you're the strongest,' or should I directly acquire the world's largest pirate crew and become a king worshipped by everyone?"

Bucky chuckled foolishly, popping an orange into his mouth as he laughed.

What he didn't notice was that among the oranges in the basket next to him, one was a deeper color, radiating a restrained glow.

"Anyway, I don't want to stay in such a small place as the East Blue anymore. Sigh, it's all Shanks' fault. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have swallowed the Chop-Chop Fruit—I would have sold it for a high price by now and be living a carefree life."

Buggy was furious when he thought about the fruit he had mistakenly swallowed.

According to black market prices, a Devil Fruit is worth at least 100 million Berries, enough for him to build a well-mannered and powerful pirate crew.

Back then, he originally planned to swallow a fake Devil Fruit and then secretly sell the Chop-Chop Fruit for money, but Shanks' sudden greeting startled him so much that he swallowed the Chop-Chop Fruit directly, turning him into his current state.

"This fruit is such a waste—besides being able to dodge some slashes, it's completely useless. When it splits, my feet can't leave the ground, and it's turned me into a landlubber."

Bucky ate another orange and sighed.

In the original story, before Buggy entered Impel Down and experienced the benefits of the Chop-Chop Fruit, he always disliked it.

Having served in Roger's crew, he looked down on this Paramecia-type Devil Fruit, which was neither Logia nor Mythical Zoan, and had little potential to change the rules.

"Ugh, how awful! If I hadn't eaten such a weak fruit, I would have been one of the Four Emperors by now."

Bucky felt that the Split Fruit had misled him.

If he could have a different, more powerful Devil Fruit, or even if he didn't eat any Devil Fruit at all, he would have become stronger than he is now.

At least they won't be afraid to fight freely on the sea just because they've become unable to swim.

"Such a weak Devil Fruit, even if the Four Emperors or Admirals ate it, they would all become useless."

As he thought about it, Bucky unconsciously gripped an "orange" in his hand and gritted his teeth.

The more he thought about it, the angrier and more frustrated he became. He felt like the unluckiest person in the world, and that anyone who ate such a weak fruit would also be just as unlucky.

"Heh, if I could get the Dragon Balls, I would wish for everyone in the world to awaken the power of the Chop-Chop Fruit. I'd like to see who can make the most of this useless fruit."

Bucky took a big bite of the "orange" and said fiercely.

From the moment the dragon descended to earth, he would constantly talk about making wishes. Whenever he encountered even the slightest unpleasant thing, he would use the dragon to make a wish and fantasize about it.

Including the wishes he made today, he had imagined no fewer than a hundred wishes in total.

however.

As luck would have it, Bucky's "luck" suddenly came into play at that moment.

"Ouch, that hurts!"

Bucky, having just bitten into the "orange," suddenly felt a sharp pain shooting through his teeth. He winced in pain and stared at the orange—

In an instant, his pupils contracted sharply.

Inside the "orange," divine light was contained, and a small "dragon mark" was engraved at the core, with crimson dragon eyes gleaming.

The moment the dragon mark met Bucky's gaze, it instantly transformed into a real dragon, soaring through the clouds and flying into the sky.

Rumble—

In an instant, thunder roared, and the world darkened, just like the scene of "the dragon descending to earth" five days ago, appearing simultaneously in every corner of the One Piece world.

As before, Shenlong Road was smooth, reflecting all things, and countless incarnations appeared simultaneously in various parts of the world.

This time, he also added a sky screen that could broadcast live to all regions of the One Piece world, so that everyone would know who the wisher was and what his wish was.

I do this for no other reason than for fun.

Just thinking about the wish he was about to fulfill made Lu Ping's lips twitch into a smile, and he almost burst out laughing.

【Children of the sea, I am the divine dragon】

The majestic voice once again resounded in every corner of the sea.

The first Dragon Ball has been found.

[And he has already made a wish.]

The news caused the sea to tremble, and countless powerful figures widened their eyes and gasped for breath.

Im, in particular, was so nervous watching the images playing on the screen that his heart was about to stop, and his brain was racing, trying to guess what the person making the wish might be.

Invincible?

eternal life?

Immortal and indestructible?

At the very least, he should at least be promised to become the strongest in the world and rule the world or something.

Im's face was ashen, his fists clenched, and he gritted his teeth.

But in the end, he showed a resigned expression, collapsed to the ground in despair, yet a hint of determination shone in his eyes.

He has already decided.

Even if it meant enduring humiliation and becoming a subject, he was determined to survive.

In this era of grand dreams where the dragon has appeared, everyone has the potential to turn their life around.

This time it was that nobody who made the wish; next time, it might be him making the wish.

His wish was—

dong dong.

dong dong.

Countless powerful figures from around the world—the Four Emperors, the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Marine Admirals, top experts from the Giant Kingdom, and so on—all focused their gazes on the sky above, specifically on the face of a clown with a red nose.

At this moment.

Bucky's eyes were vacant, his vision was completely black, and his back was soaked with cold sweat.

From the moment the dragon appeared in the world, he already realized what he had just said—

He screamed inwardly, wanting to say, "That's not a wish, that's just empty talk, I want to cancel it," but he couldn't utter a single word.

With Shenlong Luping's help, he could neither speak nor faint.

All he could do was maintain a polite yet awkward smile, gazing at the envious glances from everyone in the world, wishing he could just die on the spot.

You're so dense, you're going to faint.

Bucky had never wished he could pass out more than he did now, but unfortunately, he couldn't.

He could only watch helplessly as the dragon, in a deep and majestic voice, proclaimed its first wish to the entire world.

[Everyone in the world, awaken the Chop-Chop Fruit!]
