Chat Group For The Dead : Start From One Piece

[OUTSIDE WORLD]

"What? There is a Monster Association underground where I live?"

Saitama showed a shocked expression on his face and immediately declared that he was going to destroy them.

"No!" Lucas shook his head firmly. "My buddies will deal with them. These monsters are their pre-selected opponents."

"If you attack, those monsters won't be able to withstand even a single punch from you."

"No one can withstand my punch?" When Saitama heard this, he suddenly lost interest in destroying the monsters. It was destined to be a simple and boring battle.

Having just fought with Lucas, Saitama was no longer interested in such one-sided encounters after experiencing such an intense fight.

Lucas waved his hand, and the group members around him moved quickly, rushing into the underground cave one by one.

Soon, the whole earth trembled. A huge figure broke out of the ground, followed by a few wooden dragons with glowing eyes.

Lucas jumped into the cave, quickly appeared in a huge underground space, and saw Whitebeard fighting a massive snake-like creature.

"Group Leader, what is this thing?" Whitebeard waved the naginata in his hand, clearly unhappy. The underground space was very unfriendly to men of his size.

His strongest Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability couldn't be used freely here. If the underground space collapsed, he and his teammates would also be buried.

Although the snake was also huge, the opponent was obviously a non-human being. The confined space couldn't limit the monster's combat effectiveness, and tentacles flew out from it in all directions.

"That's Orochi, the strongest monster and leader of the Monster Association on the surface," Lucas explained. "But his strength is limited. Even Saitama's casual punches would be too much for him."

Lucas's understated description made Whitebeard depressed. The power gap was too great!

"Who are you?" Monster King Orochi noticed Lucas. Tentacles flew towards him but were stopped in mid-air by Lucas's telekinetic grip.

"Group Leader, this guy is really troublesome!" Whitebeard looked at the giant snake that Lucas had stopped. "To defeat him requires either overwhelming strength or special skills. He'll easily learn any combat moves used against him."

Whitebeard explained with some frustration that the snake had just effortlessly learned his swordsmanship techniques.

Fortunately, his swordsmanship was used in conjunction with his Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability, making it worthless for the Monster King to learn it by itself. And the opponent obviously couldn't learn Haki, which further reduced the effectiveness of the copied swordsmanship.

"This guy is just a puppet on the surface. He's not worth worrying about," Lucas said. "Since you can't fight freely here, then you can continue in Rinnegan space!"

Lucas smiled slightly, and his powerful psychic power instantly enveloped the entire underground area, pulling everyone who was fighting into the Rinnegan space.

There, they wouldn't have to worry about being buried alive by the destruction they caused. In the Rinnegan space, there was no need for such concerns.

After sending away the group members and monsters, the Space Stone in Lucas's hand glowed. He teleported directly to 1,500 meters underground and appeared in a huge laboratory.

A young woman with black-rimmed glasses appeared before Lucas. She looked very beautiful with her long, wavy hair.

The young woman looked at Lucas and said solemnly, "Who are you? You shouldn't exist in this world."

[CHAT GROUP]

Seeing the young woman through Lucas's eyes, the group members asked with surprise, curious about her identity.

Howard Stark: "Group Leader, what special status does this woman have? An ordinary beautiful woman shouldn't be enough to attract your attention."

Lucas: "If I told you this woman is the true boss behind the Monster Association, and that even the Monster King was created by her, would you believe it?"

Sebastian Shaw: "This woman created the Monster Association and created Monster King Orochi? It seems she has ambitious goals! Does she share the same ideology as me?"

Senju Tobirama: "The same ideology as you? You mean she transformed herself into a monster like you did, and then wanted to build an empire of monsters?"

Sword God Ryuma: "Speaking of this, can ordinary people become monsters? When I fought with the heroes earlier, they seemed to have mentioned similar topics."

Lucas: "Ordinary people can indeed become monsters. Special obsessions and strong inner desires can transform humans into monsters. Of course, people can also become monsters through other means even without such characteristics."

Senju Tobirama: "Group Leader, you just said that strong will in one's heart can turn people into monsters, right? That feels similar to the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan!"

Lucas: "You're right about that! If Uchiha Obito had been born in this world, he would definitely have become a powerful monster after experiencing his trauma."

Thomas Wayne: "Since humans can become monsters, why hasn't this woman transformed herself? If she established a Monster Association, shouldn't she be yearning to join their side?"

Lucas: "To be precise, she's on Earth's side. The monsters are just her tools, and protecting the Earth is her ultimate goal."

Sebastian Shaw: "So that's how it is. I thought I'd found a kindred spirit! So she's made a grand plan to transform the world like I did?"

Lucas: "Like you? You intended to start a nuclear war to create more mutants. Although she has a strong desire to reduce human numbers, she has no plans to start a nuclear war."

Sebastian Shaw: "I see! The birth of mutants is related to nuclear radiation, while the creation of monsters has little to do with radiation."

Lucas: "That's not entirely true. If she just wants to increase the number of monsters, she already has a stable method. She has developed monster cells, and ordinary people can transform into monsters immediately after consuming them."

Senju Tobirama: "She actually created such a thing? Her scientific abilities must be very impressive!"

Lucas: "Her scientific talent is only one reason the monster cells were developed. Another important reason is the help she received from the Earth itself."

Howard Stark: "The creation of monster cells can accelerate the decline of humanity, so it makes sense that the Earth would assist her. But for this woman to betray humanity like this? She must have experienced something traumatic!"

Sebastian Shaw: "If you're saying she wants to protect the Earth out of pure kindness, that seems a bit hard to believe."

Lucas: "She has the ability to see the future, and what she saw made her change her position. Originally, she was the vice president of the Psychic Research Association. Psykos—Tatsumaki who was just fighting Golden Lion Shiki—is the president of the Psychic Research Association."

[OUTSIDE WORLD]

Lucas looked at Psykos in front of him and said indifferently, "Although I don't fully understand your motivations, I think your memories will give me the answers I need."

His powerful psychic force locked onto Psykos, making her expression darken. Even Tatsumaki, the strongest esper she had ever encountered, didn't possess such overwhelming psychic power.

The Mind Stone and Soul Stone in Lucas's hands glowed simultaneously as he read Psykos's memories. After a moment, he shook his head and said, "You want to help the Earth by reducing both the number and power of humans, so that humanity can continue to exist in a sustainable way?"

Psykos gave up resistance and replied calmly, "Yes! If history continues on its current path, the future is hopeless. Human power needs to be reduced and controlled. Only this way can humans and the Earth develop in harmony."

Lucas said, "You should discuss this idea with the top officials of the Hero Association."

Psykos sneered, "It would be useless! Implementing my ideas would damage many human power structures. Do you think those people would sacrifice their own interests for the sake of humanity as a whole? They would never do that!"

Lucas nodded and said, "You're right! Human greed and short-sightedness need no explanation. After all, long-term interests mean nothing to many people."

Psykos was speechless. Whose side was he on?

Lucas laughed, "But you don't need to worry. I'll help you convince the human leadership. If they don't see reason, then we'll simply replace them."

[RINNEGAN SPACE]

Whitebeard and the others had finished their battles. The group members who fought without restraint, relying on their endless physical strength and immortality, had solved their encounters in extremely simple and direct ways.

[CHAT GROUP]

Howard Stark: "Group Leader, can you get some monster cells for me to research?"

Lucas: "Are you lacking research materials? The things I've already given you should be enough to keep you busy for several years!"

Howard Stark: "As a scientist, it's my instinct to want to study interesting things when I see them. Even if I don't have time now, I can save them for later study!"

Senju Tobirama: "That's right! Even if you don't have enough time and energy to study them thoroughly, it's good to have some to satisfy your curiosity."

Lucas: "No problem! Monster cells aren't particularly valuable anyway. They're mass-produced in the Monster Association."

Howard Stark: "They're that cheap?"

Lucas: "What did you expect? They're cheap enough to be sold wholesale! If they were in limited supply, wouldn't that greatly increase their value?"
