Chat group: Taming Kuina, controlling Cynthia

With funding provided and technology offered, the preliminary preparations were completed quickly.

In less than a day, the research institute was officially operational.

Gu Beichen participates in the research every day, and his exceptional comprehension has enabled the project to progress by leaps and bounds.

Suddenly, a message popped up in the chat group:

Kuina anxiously tagged Gu Beichen: "Group owner, please help!"

Gabriel asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Saeko Busujima asked with concern, "Are you in danger?"

Upon seeing the group message, Gu Beichen immediately replied to Gu Yina: "I'm here! What trouble did you and Zoro run into? With your current strength, as long as you don't encounter an admiral-level expert or get surrounded by a large number of marines, you should be able to handle it."

Gu (cdaf) Ina posted a crying face emoji: "I killed a Celestial Dragon, and now I'm being chased and beaten by a Marine Admiral and CP0's top combatants. Come help! I don't think I can hold out much longer!"

"almost there!"

Without saying a word, Gu Beichen bought a teleportation charm and disappeared directly from the Pokémon world.

The group immediately exploded.

Connor joked, "So they really did target the Celestial Dragons after all! But they certainly deserved it."

"The big fight I had with Thor last time wasn't our fault at all."

Kuina replied helplessly, "If you hadn't made such a big fuss last time, the Navy wouldn't have reacted so quickly this time."

I originally planned to retreat immediately, but the enemy had spatial abilities, and my teleportation couldn't shake them off at all.

Despite the danger, Guina had no regrets.

That Celestial Dragon actually wanted to capture her and use her as a plaything; such trash should be dealt with directly.

Unlike other people in the pirate world, she was not afraid of the Celestial Dragons.

Gabriel suggested, "If you can't win, you can temporarily hide in the City of Myriad Realms to avoid trouble!"

"no,"

Guina immediately objected, "It would be troublesome if the door was blocked."

My shop needs to restock!

In fact, the fact that Guina can still chat in the group shows that the situation has not yet reached its most critical moment.

Although she and Zoro couldn't defeat an admiral-level fighter, they were excellent at escaping.

If it weren't for the fact that the other side had a spatial ability user, they would have escaped long ago.

The two sides are currently at a stalemate.

Kuina's stamina gradually depleted, and CP0 and Kizaru patiently waited for the moment she would be exhausted.

Kizaru launched another attack, a blinding laser beam shot towards Kuina, but she nimbly dodged it.

Just as she was about to continue her retreat, a mysterious round hole suddenly appeared beside her, causing her to stop in her tracks.

Seeing this, Kizaru immediately seized the opportunity to attack again, while the space-time esper also used his ability to block her retreat.

Just then, Gu Beichen emerged from the circular hole. Facing the oncoming laser beam, he raised his hand and waved it, instantly forming a transparent spatial barrier that perfectly blocked the attack.

Even more surprisingly, the ray of light was reflected back.

Kizaru's expression changed drastically. He quickly transformed into a golden light to dodge, and then turned and fled without hesitation.

He was shocked and had never felt such a strong sense of crisis before. Even Kaido and Whitebeard had never made him so afraid.

He drove over a thousand kilometers until he returned to the naval headquarters, only then did he feel a little relieved and begin to guess Gu Beichen's identity.

Gu Beichen could have easily caught up with Kizaru, but considering that he could not stay for long and could not protect Kuina at all times, he ultimately chose to give up the pursuit.

Not wanting to offend the Navy too much, Gu Beichen decided to let Kizaru off the hook.

But the CP0 member was dumbfounded. He stared wide-eyed at Kizaru's retreating figure and couldn't help but curse, "A dignified Marine Admiral just runs away like that? What a coward!"

"watch out!"

Without saying a word, he unleashed his trump card, the Space Slash, and headed straight for Gu Beichen.

Guina and Gu Beichen exchanged a smile; this was quite an interesting choice.

Faced with the incoming spatial slash, Gu Beichen casually waved his hand and neutralized it.

He flashed and instantly appeared in front of CP0, casually pressing down on the other's shoulder.

The powerful spatial force instantly froze CP0 in place, rendering them unable to utter a sound; they could only stare wide-eyed in terror.

"smoke!"

Gu Beichen swept his left hand over him, and a semi-transparent energy ball immediately appeared in his right palm.

"As expected, it can't be preserved without the fruit."

He muttered to himself thoughtfully.

It wasn't that I didn't want to do it before, it was that I didn't have the ability.

Now that I've broken through to the god level, none of these things matter anymore.

Gu Beichen's location was some distance from the Sabaody Archipelago, but there were a few small islands scattered around, where various fruits grew.

He casually beckoned over a few fruits and brought the energy ball close to them.

The energy ball was immediately attracted by a pineapple, and he took the opportunity to inject energy into it.

In the blink of an eye, strange patterns appeared on the surface of the pineapple, transforming it into a translucent Devil Fruit.

By analyzing the energy sphere, he confirmed that it was a Paramecia-type Space Fruit with enormous potential.

Unfortunately, its previous owners failed to unleash its true power.

After collecting the fruit, he waved his hand lightly, and the CP0 member turned into yellow sand and vanished without a trace.

"The group admin is amazing!"

Kuina excitedly pulled Zoro over, then let go of her companion and rushed into Gu Beichen's arms.

Zoro stood to the side, his eyes filled with reverence.

Gu Beichen lightly tapped Kuina's head: "Why did you provoke the Celestial Dragons again? You could have easily escaped using teleportation."

He suspected the girl was doing it on purpose.

Guina explained, feeling wronged, "It's all Connor and the others' fault for causing trouble last time."

Lately, I've been followed by people from the Navy and CP0, and it seems they've found out something.

"We were at sea; there shouldn't have been anyone around."

She simply couldn't understand why the World Government's intelligence network was so powerful.

Gu Beichen was not surprised by this. He shrugged and said, "You should know that some Devil Fruits do have very special abilities that can trace cause and effect."

"You weren't on guard, so it's normal that you were being targeted."

Kuina suddenly realized, "Oh, I see! It's all Connor and the others' fault! I can't let them come again, they're too much trouble!"

At that moment, both of them received a group message notification.

Gabriel asked anxiously, "Guina, Gu Beichen, are you alright? Start the live stream quickly!"

Saeko Busujima also asked with concern, "How are you? Do you need any help?"

Connor offered, "If needed, I can go with Lord Thor."

Kuina replied helplessly, "No need, Connor."

This whole mess was caused by you.

She relayed Gu Beichen's explanation.

Connor then realized the problem and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry! I didn't expect to get you involved."

Call me anytime if you need help!

Kuina comforted her, "Don't blame yourself, it's all resolved."

You didn't see it, the admiral ran away as soon as he saw the group leader. If the group leader hadn't shown mercy, he wouldn't have been able to escape at all.

As for CP0, they've been completely dealt with; even their space-time Devil Fruit abilities have been extracted.

Tony Stark commented, "Spatial abilities? Not as practical as the spatial law seeds sold by the group owner."

Yue Buqun agreed: "That's true."

Kuina helplessly spread her hands: "Ever since the group leader created the Law Seed, Devil Fruits have become less popular here."

Thankfully, there's the City of Myriad Realms; those who can't afford the seeds can still choose the fruit, otherwise there would truly be a sales slump.

She makes money by taking a cut of the fruit purchased by group members; the spatial fruit in Gu Beichen's hand is an example.

Yue Buqun's brief assessment: "Realistic."

Angel Yan interjected: "That's why the group owner is so outrageous. He can create the laws, the very foundation of the world, with ease."

She has already acquired the seeds of both the Thunder and Space laws, and Keisha and Hexi have each bought a few as well.

They haven't even managed to snag the most coveted Seed of Life Law yet; it can enhance physical fitness and extend lifespan, and everyone in the group wants it.

After fusing with the Thunder Seed, Yan's strength increased more than tenfold.

This is not because the law itself is so powerful, but because she uses it properly.

As the seed grows, her thunderous power continues to increase, and combined with the mobility of spatial laws, her fighting style becomes more flexible and varied.

Zhang Sanfeng smiled and replied, "The group leader's talent is indeed enviable, and we also benefit from it."

Lin Jiu chimed in, "Who says otherwise?"

Zhang Sanfeng asked with concern, "Fellow Daoist Lin, have you broken through to the Celestial Master realm?"

"Just reached its peak."

Lin Jiu said modestly, "But this is nothing in our world. The real big shots in the Heavenly Realm and the Underworld are the ones who are truly powerful."

"I have to go now, there's a vampire outbreak in the next village, I have to go check it out."

Bulma exclaimed in surprise, "Vampires? They really exist?"

Gabriel curled her lip: "What's so strange about vampires? We have those disgusting creatures where I'm from too."

Haven't you read the records of Master Lin's world? It's full of demons and monsters.

Bulma replied casually, "I think I've seen it before, but I didn't pay much attention."

There are all sorts of strange things in the world; just hearing about them gives me goosebumps.

Gu Beichen interjected, "Bulma, is there any progress on the Senzu Bean matter?"

"What's the rush!"

Bulma was getting impatient. "Give me some more time."

I just found four Dragon Balls; I'll collect them all first.

She was currently searching for treasure in the sea with Wukong and the others, and this time she didn't want to return empty-handed like before.

It's not that I'm short of money, it's just that I enjoy the fun of treasure hunting.

Gu Beichen sighed helplessly: "Alright, hurry up."

He's been stuck at the peak of demigod status and can't break through, which is causing him a lot of worry.

Although he could break through by spending some points in seclusion, he couldn't bear to waste them.

Let's turn our attention back to the world of One Piece.

After eliminating the CP0 members, Gu Beichen said to Kuina and Zoro, "Come with me to Mary Geoise."

The two were immediately dumbfounded: "Huh?"

Zoro stammered, "Should we...should we not go? There are many powerful people there, and we might not be able to escape."

Although he was bold, he wasn't stupid; he knew his own limitations.

Kuina, however, looked up confidently and asked, "The group leader will protect us, right?"
