--- Chapter 303 ---
Joyboy freed the slaves.
At the same time, he also gained hatred from the twenty kingdoms that are Celestial Dragon's descendants.
The wardens, however, don't care much about their conflicts.
They are all-powerful and don't need to lower themselves to the prisoner's level.
Another timelapse occurred, and the Great Kingdom progressed its technology beyond that of twenty kingdoms.
The Great Kingdom sent some of their best researchers to another place, which Huo Yuhao found familiar because it was a grand city revolving around technology using the natural movement of water.
The twenty kingdoms didn't want to lag behind and stole some of the Great Kingdom's technology, wanting to create a monster of their own.
Unfortunately, they cannot steal creativity.
As the hideous creatures merge with the world, Devil Fruits appear one after another in the Tiny World. Joyboy searches for these Devil Fruits and feeds them to his folks, which causes them to grow stronger.
They are his allies now.
With that, Joyboy is known for being the first pirate because of this.
Surprisingly, the wardens didn't stop Joyboy.
They let Joyboy stew the Devil Fruits and let the fruit's power soak up with his allies' characteristics, whether they possessed animalistic traits, superpowers, or elemental abilities.
Huo Yuhao noticed how happy the wardens were every time Joyboy's ally awakened their power, seemingly producing concepts of the universe.
Watching Joyboy ride a gigantic elephant on the sea, Huo Yuhao could not help but smile because this fellow is free-spirited.
But this is not enough to deter the wardens. They are still looking down on Joyboy and others like they are nothing.
The twenty kingdoms also frantically searched for Devil Fruits and grew their forces to match Joyboy. However, it wasn't that easy.
Being the first native to eat the 'blank' Devil Fruit allows Joyboy to have a better experience, and that experience translates to his allies' rapid growth in developing their powers.
Frightened by Joyboy's rise to power.
The twenty kingdoms enslaved more races and experimented on them, creating so many cruel and hideous inventions known to man.
They didn't care if it was immoral as long as they could overpower the Great Kingdom.
Another hundred years later.
There are thousands of Devil Fruit Users in the Tiny World.
Their presence trained the Tiny World's origin, forcing Oceana to put a curse on their physiques. And from that moment, they couldn't swim in the ocean anymore.
"Devil Fruits are akin to poison for me." Ocean suddenly said.
"They corroded the essence of Tiny World, weakening it day by day."
"Although the hideous creatures have mostly disappeared and evolved into tamer species, they are still damaging the sea."
"As the Devil Fruit Users grew stronger, the stronger restrictions put on their bodies by the Tiny World. It was natural order because the Devil Fruits don't originate from the Tiny World from the beginning."
"The wardens abused this fact and harvested the lives of Devil Fruit Users for their gain."
"I don't know what they are doing with it, but they always choose the best Devil Fruit Users..."
"Unfortunately, they targeted Joyboy."
KABOOOOOOOM!!
Joyboy faced the wardens on the deserted island and used his rubbery body to his advantage. He also contends with Haki, which shocks both wardens because Joyboy somehow can combine three Haki into weakened Divine Might.
No matter how much the wardens try, they can't kill Joyboy and steal his Devil Fruit.
Realizing their mistakes of letting their product grow too strong, the wardens retreated and left the battered Joyboy alone on the deserted island.
Joyboy stood still on the ground, and his entire body was bloody. But a smile is still plastered on his face.
"Once in a million talent." Huo Yuhao praised Joyboy.
"But aren't the wardens too weak?"
[Those wardens are the lowest of the lowest in the Ostera Race, Host]
[After all, they are only in charge of Concept Fruits. They are nothing but mere farmers who tend the garden.]
[There are more high-ranked Ostera Race members in the Myriad Heaven Realm]
[Not to mention, the Tiny World's natural order also prevented them from using their full strength. Although Joyboy also has similar restrictions, he is less pressured due to being born and grow in the Tiny World]
[Even then, a rare talent like Joyboy is also vulnerable to the passage of time]
[At the end of the day, he was just a product of a low-leveled realm]
Although Evo's statement is cold, Huo Yuhao agrees with it.
Joyboy is strong, but he's not heaven-breaking strong.
Huo Yuhao observed the wardens returning to the twenty kingdoms, helping them to seize the upper hand against the Great Kingdom.
Once again, they indirectly waged a war against Joyboy and his allies.
The twenty kingdoms are joyous, though.
With the help of the wardens, the twenty kingdoms' technology rapidly advanced an ancient weapon called Uranus. They attacked the Great Kingdom with it as soon as the Uranus finished, catching Joyboy off guard.
Dark clouds surrounded the Great Kingdom, making the situation bleak.
Joyboy hurriedly returned to the Great Kingdom, but it was too late.
Huo Yuhao looked up, seeing a massive pair of golden-white wings with an eye in the middle. It floated eerily in the sky and released a power that changed the weather.
"So, that's Uranus, huh?" Huo Yuhao scanned the technology.
"The Ancient Weapon with the Name of Roman God."
"It was a dangerous weapon..." Oceana mumbled solemnly.
"But the Celestial Dragons could only use it a few times. They paid a huge price even to activate it for the time."
SHIIING!
A smite from heaven descends to the Great Kingdom.
The golden beam raced down.
Everyone thought it would be over for the Great Kingdom, but that's not it.
BOOOOOM!!
A black behemoth appeared from the depths of the Great Kingdom.
It was a massive warship clad in the replicated power of Divine Might that the wardens used for the first time when they arrived at the Tiny World.
The warship unleashed a jet-black aura and clashed with the golden beam, creating a fracture in the air.
Kacha!
The fabric of space cracked.
Everyone was shocked.
The Celestial Dragons couldn't believe their eyes.
The wardens have the expression like they are questioning reality.
Huo Yuhao scanned the warship and mumbled, "Impressive. It was no less powerful than the Uranus."
"Pluton. Developed in the Water Seven as a fail-safe protection of Great Kingdom, in case Joyboy is late to return." Oceana introduced the warship to Huo Yuhao. "They have expected the Celestial Dragons to play dirty alongside the wardens."
She sighed and added, "Unfortunately, Pluton is just a half-finished product."
The Celestial Dragons gnashed their teeth.
They are determined to destroy the Great Kingdom today and would pay any price.
The Uranus lit up, charging energy again.
Even though the Pluton looks okay, the previous clash has caused massive damage to the warship's body.
WOOSH! WOOSH!
Suddenly, a massive whirlpool emerged near the Great Kingdom, and several Seakings appeared, led by a beautiful pink-haired mermaid princess.
Oceana looked at the mermaid with a fond gaze, "Poseidon. My finest creation."
"She's here to fulfill her part of the promise with Joyboy."
BOOM!
The Seakings' massive bodies revolved around the Great Kingdom, creating water curtains.
They roared at the sky, firing jet-like water beams.
Many Devil Fruit Users from the Celestial Dragon's side tried to protect Uranus's attacking path, but it was futile.
Seeking united attacks is akin to a nemesis for Devil Fruit Users.
With that, a final war has begun.
Since Uranus couldn't attack the Great Kingdom directly, it would attack Pluton and Poseidon.
'Hey, Evo... Is it just me, or was this scenario similar to the fight between Qian Renxue and Tang San 10,000 years ago? The Angel God, ruler of the sky, fought against the Sea God, monarch of the sea.' Huo Yuhao asked his system.
[It's probably just a coincidence, Host]
'Coincidence? I think not!' Huo Yuhao snorted.
There must be a connection, even if it is indirect.
ROAR! BOOM! KACHA!
The final war was brutal.
In the hands of Celestial Dragons, Uranus is tearing apart many Sea Kings.
Poseidon could repel Uranus's attack, but some strays escaped the Sea Kings' protection and destroyed a significant portion of the Great Kingdom.
Bloodshed happened, turning the ocean red.
Pluton charged an attack and prepared to fire the dark energy aura at the Uranus.
SWOOOSH!
A black-aura beam escaped Pluton's main cannon, charging at the Uranus at a breakneck speed.
BOOOOOOOM!!
Everyone on the Great Kingdom's side thought they had won.
Yet the story always had its plot twist.
A barrier appeared and protected Uranus from getting hit.
Gasps escaped everyone's mouth.
The female warden actually protected the Uranus!
The warden actually joined the battle between the two forces for the first time.
Then, the loud sound of a drum echoed on the battlefield.
Dum~! Dum~! Dum~!
Everyone looked at the far east and saw a giant elephant carrying a man.
Yes, a man who brought smiles to the Great Kingdom's people.
Laughter followed the drums, and a figure jumped from the giant elephant, joining the war.
He fought with ease and brought joy to the gloomy world.
The Sun God Nika has descended to the battlefield!
ROAR!
Three powerful Devil Fruit Users from the twenty kingdom's side also descended to the battlefield. They also possessed the image of Gods. They are the Rain God, Forest God, and Earth God.
Yet Joyboy didn't care.
He fought them all with his power.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Island destroyed one after another.
Heavy rain poured all over the area.
Several thick vines broke the barrier of the deep sea.
This final war changed the landscape of everything.
Many people died, including the Devil Fruit Users, causing the Devil Fruits to spread all over the Tiny World.
Huo Yuhao watched them all from above, enjoying this little show as it reminded his fight against the decently strong lineup of Draconic Deus, the Cursed God, and his wives.
At last, the twenty kingdoms won.
Joyboy and the Great Kingdom are 'naturally' overwhelmed, especially by the interference of the wardens.
Even then, Joyboy struck fear in Celestial Dragon's heart.
After the Great Kingdom's destruction, Joyboy dragged his battered body and launched Pluton using his rubber-like body as a sling to prevent the Celestial Dragon from taking it.
Pluton ended up on the other side of the world, Wano, where Joyboy had his allies preparing everything to hide it.
He also stayed behind until the mermaid princess, the wielder of Poseidon, left the battlefield.
All that is left is Joyboy and his smile.
Even in the face of death, he never stopped smiling.
Without it, the world won't be sunny anymore.
The twenty kingdoms declared their victory and destroyed everything related to the Great Kingdom and Joyboy, sealing all the information as taboo.
They feared another great enemy like Joyboy to born.
Huo Yuhao shook his head, "The war has ended."
"Yes," Oceana replied bitterly.
"What do you think, Esteemed True God?"
Huo Yuhao smiled, "It wasn't bad."
He glanced at the wardens and saw their curt expression.
The female warden talked to the male warden before returning to the crimson crack and disappearing forever alongside it.
As for the male warden, he stayed behind and hid within the World Government, the alliance of twenty kingdoms.
His presence is like a reminder to the world. A hidden danger that everyone must eliminate.
Huo Yuhao stared at the crimson crack and thought of something.
"So, what do you need from me, Oceana?" Huo Yuhao asked with a smile on his handsome face.
Oceana bowed to Huo Yuhao, "Please save me."
"No, please save the Tiny World."
[Ding! You have triggered an exclusive quest]
