One Piece: Ascending the Divine Path

Under the bright moon, Yamato lay like a child on the edge of an invisible platform, looking down at the dark sea below.

Suddenly, she cheered, "Is that the end of Wano Country?"

On the sea ahead, a massive amount of seawater poured down relentlessly, forming a huge waterfall.

Knight did not answer, nor did he linger.

Whoosh.

An invisible platform carried Yamato directly off the edge of Wano Country.

Yamato turned around, somewhat dazed, and looked at the magnificent waterfall.

They left Wano Country so quickly, flying out of its borders without even a ripple.

However, even after more than a decade of trying, Yamato has only made no progress in this short distance.

"Waaah—"

Yamato immediately burst into tears.

It was a real case of tears and snot streaming down one's face.

It's only because her face is really good enough, otherwise Knight would have wanted to kick her off the building.

"Finally free!"

She sobbed, "Finally, my adventure can begin!"

"Night King, thank you so much!"

Yamato excitedly reached out to hug Knight, but ended up hugging nothing.

But Knight's figure vanished instantly, which was disgusting.

"Stop talking nonsense, go and meet up with Luna first."

Knight's voice suddenly rang out, "She will send you to the Kingdom of Dunas."

"Is that Luna?"

Yamato wiped away her tears. That's the good thing about being carefree; her earlier sadness had completely transformed into the joy of the upcoming adventure. "Finally, I'll see her in the real world!"

"I also have friends in the Kingdom of Dunas, haha, what's that country like?"

This woman has spent the last six months exploring the dream world. Besides her own exclusive dream adventures, she also enjoys playing in the Dream City.

Go hunting, see the scenery, and enjoy delicious food.

However, what Yamato likes most is to fight Luna in the arena, and then go to make friends with the ordinary people in the Dream City and ask them what the outside world is like.

"After that, the real adventure can begin!"

Yamato sat down cross-legged, his eyes sparkling. "Where should I begin? I guess I'll have to follow Roger and his crew's route around the world!"

"First, go to the four seas, then head to the Grand Line, to the skies, to the deep sea, to experience the greatest adventures, to see the most magnificent scenery, and to meet the most interesting people!"

"Whatever you want."

Knight didn't react much.

Anyway, since Yamato went on the adventure, it's as if he went too.

Furthermore, if we follow the Roger Pirates' final voyage route, Skypiea, Water 7, and Fish-Man Island would all be included.

"But before that,"

Yamato said seriously, "I want to go see Whitebeard and the Roger Pirates first."

"Oh?"

Knight was somewhat surprised.

"I want to tell them the story of what happened after Oden returned to Wano Country."

Yamato said this, then suddenly turned to look at Knight, "Besides, they might even come to help us when we liberate Wano Country!"

"Whatever."

Knight didn't care either.

What are you afraid of?

With Oden's daughter in his hands, what could Whitebeard and the remnants of Roger's pirate crew do even if they came?

Do you understand what a hostage is?

"Let's go!"

Yamato laughed heartily.

She was happy, but some people were very unhappy.

A sea area in the New World.

Even in the dead of night, the Beasts Pirates' fleet continued to brave the winds and waves.

While Kaido, who had drunk too much, was fast asleep.

Brub brub brub.

The Den Den Mushi (snail phone) on the bedside table suddenly rang.

Kaido, lying on the specially made large bed, frowned slightly.

The Den Den Mushi kept ringing, and Kaido finally opened his eyes.

With a fierce look in his eyes, Kaido picked up the Den Den Mushi with a force that almost crushed it, and then answered the call.

"If it's not something important enough, I'll kill you!"

"Boss Kaido! Something terrible has happened!"

A voice filled with terror came from the other end of the phone.

Kaido's sleepiness vanished instantly, and he finally sat up straight. "Jack? What happened? Has something happened in Wano Country?"

"Yes, it's Yamato!"

Jack's voice was anxious. "She somehow broke free of her handcuffs. Maria and I couldn't stop her at all. She stole all the Devil Fruits from the storage room and then escaped from Onigashima."

"What?!"

Kaido let out a low growl.

hum! !

An uncontrollable, violent aura surged forth, and for a moment, the entire ship trembled.

The Den Den Mushi in Kaido's hand immediately lost consciousness, and the pirates on the ship, whether they were asleep or not, all lost consciousness.

Soon, there was a knock on Kaido's door. Before Kaido could respond, King pushed the door open and entered. "Mr. Kaido, what happened?"

"Yamato ran away."

Kaido's eyes were fierce.

Jin was completely stunned. "How is this possible! How did she unlock those handcuffs?"

"How would I know!"

Kaido roared, "Damn it! Why don't you just obey me obediently? When I catch that brat, I'll break both his legs!"

"Mr. Kaido, what do you mean?"

Jin hesitated for a moment, "Return to base?"

"I'm going back to Wano Country first."

Kaido said, "You continue forward, but don't rush into a direct confrontation with Wang Zhi."

Although he looked down on Wang Zhi, Kaido did not believe that King and Queen could challenge Wang Zhi.

"yes!"

Soon after, the enormous blue dragon soared into the sky and returned towards Wano Country.

Time slowly began to pass.

Two days later, in the New World, on Orleans Island.

Wang Zhi stood on a bare hilltop and bent down to pick up a dark red stone.

With a gentle squeeze of the palm, the stone shattered, sending dark red fragments flying.

"This is high-quality iron ore."

Wang Zhi smirked, "Hmph, very good, now this island belongs to me!"

This island is the source of the conflict between the two sides.

The island, named Or Island, was originally a barren wasteland where only a few seabirds would occasionally stop.

But not long ago, a group of pirates discovered that there was actually a huge iron mine on the island.

The pirates originally intended to keep the news a secret and swallow the island themselves, but they got drunk while drinking at the tavern, and the news was leaked.

As a result, Wang Zhi and the pirates under Kaido's command swarmed over like hyenas.

"But what about Kaido?"

Wang Zhi turned around and said, "I'm already here, where is he? He's not on Or Island at all!"

Wang Zhi's deputy calmly said, "Based on the last sighting time, they should have already reached the nearby waters."

"I think Kaido is afraid."

"Scared?"

Wang Zhi paused slightly, then said, "Hahahaha! That bastard is scared too?"

"Whatever, it doesn't matter. Since Kaido isn't showing himself, let's just drive all the scum from the Beast Pirates out of this area!"

The Beasts Pirates are not just the forces stationed on Onigashima. In addition to Wano Country, the Beasts Pirates also have a vast territory overseas, so of course they have many other forces stationed abroad.

These are the people who clashed with Wang Zhi's pirates this time.

"yes!"

The second-in-command nodded respectfully. "We will soon ensure that not a single sail of the Beasts Pirates remains in this sea!"

The Wang Zhi Pirates have begun their operation.

Shortly after, the pirate guerrilla team, ship number six, Knight's side.

While continuing his practice of Armament Haki, which focused on internal destruction, with his hand pressed against the cratered iron ingot, Knight spoke to Zephyr via Den Den Mushi. "So, Wang Zhi has already shown up?"

"We're still too slow. We're still quite a distance from that sea area, while Wang Zhi has already landed on Or Island."

Zephyr's voice carried a hint of confusion, "However, Kaido has not yet shown up, so the battle has not started yet, but given his personality, he would never desert in the face of battle."

"So, what's the next step?"

Knight asked casually.

Kaido has already returned to Wano Country and launched a massive search operation.

"Get here as soon as possible, no matter what."

Zephyr said, "Kaido could appear at any moment. He's not a man who will tolerate this! He won't let Wang Zhi take over."

"We'll head to the waters near the Purple Flower Kingdom first. It's closer to Or Island, and if Kaido appears, then a war is very likely to break out nearby!"

"learn."

To be fair, Professor Zephyr's concerns were entirely valid.

Kaido has absolutely no chance of finding Yamato, so who will he vent his anger on?

That's so hard to guess.
