One Piece: Awaken The Replication System

Water 7

The CP5 agents watched the burning building with grim expressions. None of them dared to mention that the body of Tom the Fish-Man had disappeared. If they did, they would certainly be buried with him. They had no idea how anyone managed to steal the body, but without proof of his death, all they faced was a charge of negligence. The fallout was inevitable.

Soon, new orders from the Five Elders arrived, commanding them to monitor Iceburg and Franky, Tom's disciples.

Meanwhile, elsewhere, Buggy was returning to the misty area after shaking off his pursuers.

In the cabin of his ship, the genius surgeon Hogback was performing emergency surgery on Tom, carefully extracting the bullets and suturing his wounds. Moria, Buggy, and a zombie version of Fukurou stood nearby, watching him work.

"As expected of a genius surgeon, that suture technique is truly a work of art," Fukurou remarked, impressed.

Buggy, arms folded, scoffed, "Hey, Tom, aren't you scared of dying?"

Fukurou laughed heartily,

"Afraid of death? It's nothing, you red-nosed brat!"

Buggy immediately protested, "Damn it! Don't call me Red Nose—it's Buggy! Buggy the Big Hunter!"

As Buggy and Fukurou bickered, Hogback finally completed the surgery, letting out a sinister laugh.

"Shhhh! Moria, now's the time to put the shadow back in!"

Moria, towering over them, pulled a shadow from Fukurou's body and transferred it to Tom.

"Cough, cough…"

Tom, once dead, was resurrected, gasping for breath.

"Moria, your abilities are truly amazing!" Buggy exclaimed in relief.

Moria grinned, "Heh heh heh!"

Buggy and Moria had crossed paths several days earlier. Buggy had accidentally strayed into Thriller Bark when his ship ran aground, and they were forced to go ashore for repairs. However, this was part of Moria's "zombie plan," where he intercepted passing ships to create new zombies from their shadows and corpses.

Upon landing, Buggy and his crew were attacked by zombies. In the ensuing chaos, Buggy found himself separated from his men, eventually encountering Absalom and Perona. As luck would have it—thanks to Buggy's infamous "accidental good fortune"—he stumbled upon Moria's castle.

Moria, recognizing Buggy's uniform, realized Buggy was a senior member of the Hunter Guild, a formidable organization. Remembering his own defeat at the hands of Kaido, and now hearing that Leno had defeated Kaido, Moria knew better than to make Buggy an enemy.

Thus, Moria ordered Perona, Absalom, and Hogback to release Buggy's crew. Not wanting to push his luck on Moria's turf, Buggy agreed, and they quickly struck up a friendship. Soon, they were calling each other brothers over a banquet.

Buggy, feeling that causing trouble at Water 7 on his own might be too risky, persuaded Moria to join forces with him. Moria, viewing Leno as a common enemy, agreed to help. Together, they devised a plan to stage Tom the Fish-Man's death.

During the staged attack, Moria snatched away Tom's shadow in the confusion, while Buggy drew off the pursuers. Meanwhile, another team of Buggy's allies smuggled Tom's body to Hogback for treatment. Tom, unaware of the larger plot, had his shadow hidden in Fukurou's body until Buggy could explain things to him.

It was Buggy's past connection with Tom that made Tom agree to fake his death and leave. Leno had tasked Buggy with this mission because of Buggy's connection to Roger's crew.

Now, with the mission a success, Leno praised Buggy, even though Moria's involvement was unplanned. Leno hadn't expected Buggy to succeed so well, he had only asked him to cause some chaos at Water 7 and make a hasty retreat. But Buggy had delivered a surprise.

Leno sent Buggy and his crew back to Thriller Bark and then contacted Kuzan, who had already set sail. Their goal was to secretly smuggle Tom back to safety.

The Sea Circle Calendar had just started in 1512, and the news of Tom's assassination cast a shadow over the year. However, the news hadn't spread widely, and few cared about it.

Who would care if a shipwright lived or died? Even if he had built the ship for Roger or designed the "sea train," the general public wasn't interested. They were more focused on news involving major figures.

Even the Hunter Guild had been quiet lately, focusing on expanding their operations in East Blue. Leno, the president of the Hunter Guild, had stepped out of the limelight for the time being. Occasionally, reports of his activities would surface, but none of them stirred much interest. Whether he was discussing cooperation with a king or overseeing the construction of the Hunter School, these events no longer grabbed headlines as they once did.

The public's attention had shifted to fresher news, like the Red Hair Pirates, who had been the talk of the world for the past six months. After Leno's defeat of Kuzan, his moment in the spotlight had passed.

The Hunter Guild was now entering a period of consolidation, focusing on absorbing the rapid growth they'd experienced. Leno himself had plenty to manage behind the scenes. For both Leno and the Hunter Guild, this was a time to digest their achievements before making their next big move.

Shimotsuki Village!

Leno is back here, the way of the practice.

He rekindled the furnace of wrought iron and forged weapons out of Haki.

Kozaburo, Koshiro, and the kids at the dojo marvel at what he has achieved outside.

Leno's gaze, fixed on the flame, his Armament Haki, gradually changed from sharp to hammer of the clock.

Kosaburo held the pipe and said appreciatively: "Too blunt or too sharp will not work.

"You have to be blunt when you want to be blunt, and sharp when you want to be sharp. This is the highest state!"

"The legendary realm of the craftsman!"

Leno, shirtless, beat the red-hot Iron Body, sparks splashed, and Haki slowly penetrated into it.

Focused and short practice, brush off the dust in Leno's heart.

Torreja killed innocent civilians.

And taking advantage of his identity as a hunter to steal his employer's treasure, let Leno examine his dream.

The development of a power is bound to be accompanied by both external and internal damage.

Externally, revealing calendar.

Inside, perfect the rules.

In addition, law firms and hunter schools in the five major departments need to start to play a role.

A new famous sword was forged.

Leno named this sword Punishment, as a symbol of the law, and handed it to Bell-mère.

Leno thought for a long time, and after several days of investigation back to Shimotsuki village, he finally chose her.

Although Bell-mère's strength is low, she is neither humble nor overbearing. Shee dares to fight against power, is outspoken, and is not stubborn.

Low strength doesn't matter.

[Law]It is not a field department at all, it mainly focuses on trial work, and needs an upright person to take charge.

Furthermore, after half a year of training, Bell-mère is already better than when she retired.

Give her a decent Devil Fruit, enough for the job.

Bell-mère, who was trusted by Leno, took office and began to handle complaints and reports.

She served as a Marine, was in management, and had exercised, so she quickly adapted to the new job.

Nojiko and Nami stayed in Shimotsuki village, they got along for such a long time, the people in the dojo liked the two little girls very much.

The impact of the Torreja incident was gradually eliminated as the Law played its role.

February!

In September last year, the first batch of hunters who passed the assessment went through the six-month observation period.

Leno himself issues licenses for them.

Lucci, Kaku, Kalifa, Robin, Van Augur and others are impressively listed.

in March.

Morgans broke the big news, World Government's Heavenly Tribute was stolen.

The world was shocked.

What kind of fierce person dares to rob Heavenly Tribute?

Follow-up reports on this incident did not come out until the second half of the month.

"Donquixote Doflamingo has been invited to be one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"

Doflamingo takes the last Shichibukai position.

Gekko Moria!

Bartholomew Kuma!

Boa Hancock!

Jinbe!

Crocodile!

Dracule Mihawk!

Donquixote Doflamingo!

Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Big news for April.

Celestial Dragon Donquixote Mjosgard, shipwrecked, killed by his former fish-men slaves.

The butterfly effect caused by Leno spread to the Fish-Man Island.

Queen Otohime is temporarily living on Dawn Island, practicing how to realize her dream, but failed to prevent this from happening.

This alarmed Mary Geoise.

Celestial Dragons demanded that the fish-men be severely punished and the Fish-Man Island Ryugu Kingdom be obliterated.

Furious, Five Elders ordered the Marine at the Buster Call level to dispatch.

Finally, when they were about to bombard the Fish-Man Island, they were attacked by super-large Sea Kings that suddenly appeared and had to withdraw.

Five Elders realized that [Poseidon]was awakened and summoned the Sea Kings.

But who it is, they don't know yet.

Frightened by the prestige of [Poseidon].

And Leno came forward to "mediate".

The World Government released a report to clarify that something was wrong.

Saint Donquixote Mjosgard was not killed by a slave, but was shipwrecked and died when he encountered a slave.

In exchange, King Neptune executed the related fish-man for offending the corpses of the Celestial Dragons.

The impact of this event was far-reaching.

The bombardment of the Buster Call fleet did not happen, but the real threat made the Fish Men Island feel lingering fear.

Originally because of Fisher Tiger, Otohime

The fish-men who were split by the princess' different ideas re-shake hands and make peace.

The dialogue between Leno and Otohime in the Ryugu Palace last year was eulogized by the fish-men.

"The Fish-Man Island is the fish-men paradise!"

"Go to land, and we shall be safe from danger!

"Guard the Fish-Man Island!"

The fish-men all admired Leno's foresight.

If it weren't for the deep sea this time, if it wasn't for the Sea Kings rescue, the Fish-Man Island would have become Ohara, right?

After the crisis, Otohime and Fukaboshi returned to the Fish-Man Island, and described the life of Dawn Island to the fish-men.

This caused heated discussions among the fish-men.

Hearing that becoming a hunter has the opportunity to go to Dawn Island, there are many applicants.

May!

The hunter guild the Fish-Man Island branch is established.

For the time being, Fukaboshi and others and the fish-men are in charge of the operation, and a commissioner from the headquarters will be sent to guide the work.

June!

The South Blue branch of the Hunters Guild is established.

Branch Chief Kuzan.

Kuzan is a native of South Blue and is now returning home.

With Kuzan's arrival at South Blue and the establishment of a branch, it means that the Hunter Guild East Blue to South Blue route has been opened.

July!

Large-scale protests broke out in Dressrosa, a member of the World government.

Express dissatisfaction with the king's sudden collection of taxes and arson.

August!

Donquixote Doflamingo claims that he is the legal owner of the Kingdom of Dressrosa.

With the support of the people, he overthrew the Riku Family's regime that had lasted for hundreds of years and became the new king of Dressrosa.

September!

The new year's assessment of the Hunter Guild has begun.

The assessment scope includes East Blue, but not limited to East Blue.

Jumeta Islands.

The crowd was surging.

People from Amazon Lily, South Blue, the Fish Men Island, and Paradise who applied to participate in the assessment arrived one after another.

"Look, it's the most beautiful woman in the world, Boa Hancock!"

"Wow! So beautiful!"

"Hey, how did you petrify?"

Amazon Lily is a partner of Hunter's Guild, and because it's the first time to come, Hancock also came.

Love-Love fruit, the power should not be underestimated.

Especially when Hancock's figure and temperament became more and more perfect, and the damage she did was astonishing.

"Master Leno, I miss you so much!"

Seeing Leno, Hancock immediately became docile, and let others look at him, and suddenly he was full of murderous aura.

In the past few months, Leno has mainly focused on the construction and development of the Hunter Guild, and the opening of routes.

Moreover, every time Leno appears to the outside world, he will be in a different place, making it difficult for the World Government to grasp.

Leno just went to Amazon Lily last month to popularize guild knowledge.

Kuzan's development in South Blue went smoothly, and he personally escorted more than a hundred people.

The fish-men from the Fish Men Island were transferred by Kuro and Jinbe. The experience in the Fish Men Island has improved Kuro's strength.

He has the Zoan fruit, and awakened Observation Haki and Armament Haki.

It's just that the intensity is still low.

However, Kuro's strength is enough to compete with the weak Vice Admiral.

The people in the Sabaody Park are basically Buggy's subordinates.

Buggy is currently in the Sabaody Park.

Consider yourself a treasure hunter, looking for and digging the legendary treasures in the paradise.

There are also several young people among them, who are the friends that Kuina met during the Sabaody Archipelago experience.

The assessment is in progress.

[Survival in the Sea], [Physical Test], [Fire of Will], [Forest of Confusion], [Ice Arena].

It is still a five-level assessment.

The reference personnel of Amazon Lily, the Fish-Man Island, and the Paradise showed East Blue and South Blue what power is.

Hancock passed the level as quickly as possible.

It took 3 hours and 32 minutes.

She was in the first level, which required teamwork, and was delayed for 3 hours, and the next four levels only took 32 minutes.

For the rest, the efficiency is also higher than that of the first batch of people who participated in the assessment.

This shows that the overall strength of the people participating in the assessment this year is stronger than last year.

Moreover, the number of hunters who passed the assessment of the Hunter's Guild increased sharply this year, reaching 1032 people.

These people are scattered in different regions.

After the assessment, enter the hunter school for seven days of training.

Return to their respective locations for a six-month study period.

1512 flies by in the blink of an eye.

1513 came.

After six months, some of them withdrew due to violations of regulations or felt inappropriate, leaving 935 people.

Leno harvested another batch of talents from these people.

"Red Hair Pirates attack the Ochoku fleet!!!"

A piece of news shocked the world.

The red-haired Shanks, who has been practicing for more than a year, announced his return with a strong posture.

Red Hair Pirates, once again launched an impact on the position of Four Emperors, and achieved impressive results. .
