The New Branch is Getting More Lively
🕑 Added 2024-11-21 09:27:17 +0000 UTC--- Chapter 390 ---
Huo Yuhao stared at "Joyboy" behind Luffy and shook his head helplessly as this fellow had yet to regain consciousness. Right now, Joyboy is only an avatar, moving with pure instinct and desire from Luffy's heart.
To awaken Joyboy's consciousness, Luffy must reach the Spirit Elder or Spirit Ancestor Realm because, at that stage, Spirit Energy and Mental Power begin to liquefy.
This is why Huo Yuhao said Luffy must train more.
"Still, I didn't expect Joyboy's concept to be that..." Huo Yuhao smiled helplessly.
In his previous world, many people speculated about Joyboy's powers.
Some people say Joyboy could turn the world into rubber, which he could freely manipulate to aid him in a fight.
Some people say it was toon force or low-level reality manipulation as he could also bend others like rubber.
However, they are damn wrong!
Joyboy's powers actually lie within his title, the Warrior of Liberation.
Yes, Joyboy's power is a conceptual manifestation of FREEDOM!
The concept was born due to the oppression of the Twenty Kingdoms, Celestial Dragons, and Imu himself.
It was like a burning fire transcending space and time, reaching like-minded people like Luffy.
Thus, Luffy didn't eat Gomu-Gomu no Mi accidentally. The Devil Fruit is an accumulation of Joyboy's will to liberate this world, so it lets Luffy eat it.
If not, the Five Elders would have gotten their hand on Gomu-Gomu no Mi years ago.
Robin, Kuina, and Raikou also sensed the power of concept from Joyboy's avatar and couldn't help but feel speechless. They have heard of Joyboy's deeds in the ancient era, but to think he can comprehend and wield such a powerful concept is a sign of his 'great' talent.
Unfortunately, Joyboy passed away. He has no soul nor body, only will to liberate this world.
Unlike Roger, who wanted to preserve this world, Joyboy wished Tiny World could reach a higher plane of existence!
Well, Joyboy's dream isn't far from happening.
Then, they awakened from their lucid state one after another.
The first to open his eyes was Fujitora, who sighed and glanced at Raikou gratefully. He slowly bowed, "Thank you for helping me."
"I wish to repay this favor by serving your faction, Dragon Nest, for... Eternity!"
"Are you sure?" Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes. "I thought Marines would be, I don't know, loyal?"
Fujitora was embarrassed.
How could he not know what Huo Yuhao meant? However, the current Marines are really just the World Government's Dogs.
Even though Fujitora is regarded as an admiral, he couldn't even change the fundamental system of this damned world.
Unlike Huo Yuhao, who boldly declared his defiance against the Marines, World Government, and Celestial Dragons, Fujitora hid himself from the darkness of the world.
Now that Fujitora has a chance, he'd obviously follow Huo Yuhao rather than the Marines. Above all else, he preferred wise and benevolent leaders who could lead this world for the better.
And Fujitora didn't make any excuses. He cleared his throat and said with an honest and upright expression, "I just think joining Dragon Nest would make this world safer."
"You're quite honest." Huo Yuhao commented lightly.
Fujitora shook his head weakly, "An honest person has no place to change this world. My weak resolve and strength aren't enough to keep myself standing up."
"Even to this day, my legs are shaking..."
"Okay then." Huo Yuhao smiled. "Welcome to the Dragon Nest."
"I will appoint you as the Section Chief."
"Section Chief?" Fujitora inquired calmly.
Huo Yuhao nodded, "Currently, the Dragon Nest's Branch only has Mihawk as the leader and Mink Tribe's Carrot as the vice."
"The Neo Marine and Revolutionary Army also joined recently. I appointed Black Arm Zephyr as the Chief of the Disciplinary Department and Sabo as the Chief of the Spirit Guide Department."
"As for Section Chief, the Dragon Nest will definitely dominate this world in a few years, and the world will be divided into several pieces. You and some others will be the ones who govern those places."
"What about me?" asked Rayleigh. He has woken up from the Spirit Awakening Ceremony.
"My position can't be too bad, right?"
Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes, "Of course..."
"I was planning to give you the Section Chief's position too, but you don't seem to be a person who likes to look over others. Well, it's normal for your age, I guess."
"..." Rayleigh's mouth twitched.
Why do you mean it's normal for my age? I'm still in my prime!
If Huo Yuhao knew what Rayleigh was thinking, he'd scoff at him.
Huo Yuhao rubbed his chin, "I think you can join the Body Forging Department."
"Body Forging?" Rayleigh's eyes lit up.
Huo Yuhao explained to Rayleigh that the Body Forging Department is a 'special' division. One could entirely focus on looking for the best method to improve one's physique and break the body's limitations.
Rayleigh has trained Luffy for nearly two years, building his foundation and teaching his foolish mind how to sense, empower, and wield Haki.
Impressive feat, not going to lie.
"Oh, okay. That isn't bad." Rayleigh laughed. "Call me Body Forging Chief from now on, hahaha~!"
"..." Fujitora.
"..." Huo Yuhao.
"..." Three Goddesses.
"I want to slap him for some reason..." Kuina couldn't help but raise her slender hand.
Raikou giggled and grabbed Kuina's hand, "You can't, Kuina-chan. He just joined our Dragon Nest, and you already wanted to beat him up? That would make our reputation bad."
"Hmph, I will spare him for now." Kuina harrumphed, swaying her head away.
Unknown to Rayleigh, he just escaped a potential suffering.
Robin facepalmed because the infamous Dark King Rayleigh sure is carefree. It seemed this elder didn't understand the weight of the Body Forging Department.
It's not as simple as researching and finding a way to train oneself!
The Body Forging Department is actually very ambitious. It was started by an elder from the Dragon Nest, saying he wanted to break the limit of mortals with his flesh.
Yes, he wanted to become a God with his bodily flesh alone!
Robin glanced at Huo Yuhao meaningfully. Giving Rayleigh such a position must have a 'remarkable' reason.
Then, everyone else awakened from their stupor.
Luffy sprang from the floor and yelled, "WOW! I FELT SO DAMN LIGHT!"
"I FELT LIKE I CAN FLY NOW, HAHAHA!"
Straw Hat's Crew also began to observe their situation, finding their body more powerful and minds calmer.
"What happened to my leg?!" Sanji cried out out loud. He felt intense pain in his legs, which came from muscles and bones squishing against each other.
Huo Yuhao sighed and threw a healing holy light at Sanji's legs, "Bear with it for a month or two. Your Martial Soul is somewhat defective, so I had to fix them for you."
"Don't worry... It won't be detrimental to your growth. In fact, you won't lose to others based on Cultivation Speed."
"Endure it, Sanji-kun!" Brook said, patting Sanji's shoulder.
"Who the hell are you!" Sanji was shocked by Brook's appearance as he appeared more demonic due to his Ghost Martial Soul's possession. He now has skin and everything, but it was made of more energy than real flesh and blood.
"Wow, Brook, you're alive!" Luffy exclaimed.
"D-Did he come back from the dead?" Chopper trembled.
"I mean... He's a ghost, but still." Usopp also trembled, hugging the deer for his dear life.
Nami covered her mouth, "This is Brook's look if he was alive? He looks like a musician!"
"I'm always a musician!" Brook couldn't help but smile.
"But you're dead..." Franky scratched his cheek.
"I'm a living ghost!" Brook immediately added.
"Well..." Zoro doesn't know what to say. Compared to others, he was more interested in his Martial Soul. He could feel the closeness of this green humanoid figure.
"Name it." Huo Yuhao said to Zoro. "Your Martial Soul is the first ever to happen in history."
"Name, huh?" Zoro was stunned. He stared at his Martial Soul's cold and demonic features before grinning.
"Yaksha, Yaksha King!"
"That's the name of my Martial Soul."
"King of Hell, Yaksha King... Quite fitting." Huo Yuhao nodded.
He looked at everyone and said, "Very well, with this... You are a member of my Dragon Nest."
"I wish you a healthy and exciting journey!"
"OOOOOOOOHHHH!" Luffy raised his arm high.
"OOOOHHHHH!" And everyone followed.
