74 Ghosts are no longer scary!
"Are you sure, Masa?" Perona looked at her man and asked worriedly, "You know that if you are hit by my ghosts, you will get depressed, right? Are you alright with showing that part of you to everyone?"
Frankly, she also wanted to see Masa at all four and get depressed, but she was sure that if that really happened, while he might say nothing, at night, she would be tormented by him.
His roughness was okay, but she loved his gentle side more, okay?
After all, if he was so rough, her legs would all be wobbly, and she would spend all of her days in bed all the time!
Or rather, this guy should get more women!
Well, she was reluctant to have him with other women, of course, but she understood why Carina pulled her.
Still, while Perona hesitated, Carina and Brook were full of excitement.
"Ushishishi! Just attack him, Perona!"
"Hyohohoho! Go for it! You are his woman, anyway! There is nothing to worry about! Hyohohoho!"
Unlike Perona, the two of them had fun and wished to see Masa get all depressed!
This guy had always been cool and popular with women, so watching him depressed and showing his embarrassing part would make them happy!
As Masa had said before, sailing wasn't something that was enjoyable, especially when there was a lack of entertainment in this world.
Moreover, this was a ship; there was no entertainment at all!
Fortunately, whether it was Masa, Carina, or Brook, they were all good at music, so it wasn't boring. Masa also created several board games so all of them could enjoy themselves when they were bored.
Well, there was also sex, but Carina and Perona would die if Masa kept holding them.
As for Brook... this guy had no lower body, so he could only tease the maids, who would look at him like trash. As for Carina and Perona? He didn't want to die, and he wasn't such a stupid guy that would flirt with all the women he met.
Still, even if the distance between Thriller Bark and Water 7 wasn't bad, they had to spend quite a while, so there was no doubt they wished to see something interesting, and hearing Masa's words, who wanted to be hit by Perona's ghosts, no one wanted to miss this scene!
Gulp!
Yes, Carina and Brook had their own fun, but Perona was different!
"...just to be clear, you won't start revenge later if you are affected, right?"
Perona asked timidly.
"I am not." Masa shook his head and said, "Do you think I am such a petty guy?"
"...."
It was because he was the one that Perona asked this question!
Letting out a helpless sigh, she wanted to cry without tears, but then again, if Masa was really angry, let's just wear the maid uniform since she was sure that by wearing that, he would forgive her.
Moreover, similar to Carina and Brook, Perona wanted to see Masa in all four!
'Hororororo!'
Seeing this bastard who lived to toy with her to be depressed must be fun, Perona thought~!
Still, inwardly, she also didn't want to hurt him, so she just summoned one ghost.
"Negative Hollow!"
Perona swung her slender arm, and all of a sudden, a strange yet cute ghost with a tongue stuck out from its mouth was summoned before it moved toward Masa's direction.
"Negative... Negative... Negative..."
Frankly, there was nothing scary and tense about this situation, yet somehow, no one closed their eyes, and all of them watched everything as they stopped breathing, wishing to see what Masa wanted to do.
Did he develop a new ability that made him able to defeat a ghost?
Somehow, this was the thought of everyone, and because of that, while they wanted him to appear depressed, they also hoped for him to succeed; then, as the ghost became closer and almost reached Masa, finally Masa made his move.
"Purge."
Stretching his hand, a bright light emitted from his palm toward the ghost.
"Negative!"
The cute ghost screamed in pain before it vanished completely.
"...." 3x
"Hollow!"
Perona somehow screamed in tears, then looked at Masa in disbelief. "H-How cruel!"
Her cute ghost was cruelly purged by this bastard, who took all of her fists, which made her even more depressed!
Masa nodded, feeling satisfied, thinking that it was a good thing that he had devoured Kokabiel. "Go all out, Perona. Give me all of your ghosts."
"Now, you have made me mad!"
Raising both hands, Perona swung them down as she shouted her strongest moves. "Negative Rain!"
All of a sudden, the entire ship was filled with Perona's ghosts, and they were all moving at the same time toward Masa like a barrage of artillery!
There was no turning back!
Perona decided to make this guy all depressed!
Still, inwardly, she was a bit scared, wondering whether her body would be held by him for an entire day.
'If that happens... then I might die!' Perona thought inwardly, but fortunately, there was Carina, which made her sigh in relief.
"..." Carina.
Yet, watching this, Masa felt strange, wondering whether having slept with him had made Perona become smarter and stronger. At the same time, he had to say Perona's Devil Fruit was good as it was a metaphysical ability. Even if he had eaten the Pika Pika no Mi, unless he took down Perona literally, not in the metaphorical meaning, then he wouldn't be able to defeat those hollows summoned by Perona.
'Well, that's the past.
Suddenly, his body exuded a gentle light, and those ghosts who approached him quickly burned and turned into ashes as if they had been exorcised by him.
"...." Perona.
"That's great!"
Still, Carina was happy that Masa had become stronger.
His light could defeat a ghost, so they knew that there was nothing they should be worried about anymore!
After all, he had become much, much stronger.
Nevertheless, if there was someone in the group who was also affected by this besides Perona, then it would be Brook.
Why?
'Ah, I can die with that, right?'
Knowing that Masa could kill him, Brook became even more nervous!
Nevertheless, Masa's thoughts had never always been on Brook since he was about to arrive at Water 7, and by then, he would make his ship, but he was worried that he would also meet the target that he wanted to devour.
Yes, as he had explained it before, he really planned to devour Rob Lucci.
The talent of Rob Lucci aside, Masa was also interested in Rob Lucci's Zoan Devil Fruit, Neko Neko no Mi, Model: Leopard.
Why?
Many must have questioned this, but this was because he was the devil of the House of Vapula, so there was no doubt that all cat-related Zoan was something that was easy for him to control, especially when he had heard the awakening of Zoan would awaken the animal soul that might take over the body of its user similar to those jailers on Impel Down.
While Masa didn't think that he would lose his mind to the innate nature of the respective type of Zoan that he had decided to eat, there was no doubt having a cat-related Devil Fruit was easier for him to control since, as the devil of the Vapula, his innate ability to control and tame all feline-related creatures would bring him the greatest benefit.
Still, if possible, he thought of getting Who's-Who's Devil Fruit, who was also a feline-related type, but Wano country was too far, and Masa felt that it was quite troublesome to go there.
Lastly, compared to Rob Lucci, the talent of Who's-Who was far lower.
If there was an advantage, Who's-Who's Devil Fruit was an ancient type that was far better than Rob Lucci, who owned a normal carnivore type.
Yet, even so, with Masa's plan, no matter what kind of Zoan-type Devil Fruit he had eaten, as long as it was related to the feline, it didn't matter, but unfortunately, even if the Water 7 was close, he couldn't do anything to Lucci since he couldn't eat Devil Fruit anymore.
Still, probably because of their luck, or probably might be because it was the time, or the author just wanted to make everything interesting, so at this moment—
"Huh? This place is?"
The three Masas stared at the new Masa at the same time, and their minds had similar thoughts.
The fourth Masa finally appeared!
.
.
.
75 The Fourth Masa!
"Ah, I see."
While the fourth Masa was surprised when he suddenly appeared in this white space, he quickly understood everything even before all of them explained anything to him.
Like any protagonists of reincarnation or transmigration stories, all of them had a certain cheat that allowed them to grow better than others, and this was their abilities that made them able to share and combine.
Yes, as the fourth Masa appeared, as expected, their appearance, intelligence, talents, and everything became four times stronger.
At the same time, like in the video game where they could get a bonus heart, this time, as the fourth Masa appeared, their lives were guaranteed since the more Masa appeared, the harder it was for them to be killed since as long as any of them lived, they would continue to be revived.
Nevertheless, with this, the worry of Masa of One Piece was cleared up, and there was no need for him to worry about implementing his plan as he arrived at Water 7, so there was no doubt those who liked Rob Lucci had to say sorry to them since his plan didn't change and he planned to devour the strongest agent in the history of the World Government.
Still, Masa from Mahouka had no problems and had the smoothest life since he just focused on studying various things and making money. He asked the question that everyone was most cornered about.
"Which world did you come from?"
Naturally, Masa from Mahouka introduced everyone first, telling the new Masa about everything in this ability, then lastly asked which world this new Masa came from.
"....."
The new Masa appeared to be in a daze since he didn't expect that all of them came from superpowers, supernatural, magic, and sci-fi-related works, which made him speechless.
"Sorry that I have to disappoint you, but I have come from a normal world, without magic, future technology, supernatural creatures, and many others."
Yet, when he thought that all of them were disappointed—
"That's great!" 3x
".....'
The new Masa was in a daze for a while, but as his intelligence also became four times stronger, he also understood why they were all happy.
"You don't have to worry. There should be a story about your worlds in my world, and I also often read and watch otaku-related works."
"Oh, you are not an otaku?"
After all, the new Masa appeared young like them, and based on their cognition, there was no doubt the new Masa would be a student, so shouldn't he just spend his time enjoying youth by watching anime and reading manga or novels?
The new Masa only smiled and said calmly, like a mature man who had been toyed with by society, "I am an orphan, after all, and I don't have much money, especially when I also have to help my older sister since her job isn't stable."
"I see." 3x
Similar to Masa from One Piece, this new Masa didn't seem to have a good background.
Still, the new Masa was no longer alone, and the three of them patted his back softly.
Nevertheless, the new Masa also realized that his life wasn't that bad, especially when there were many who were worse than him.
Rather, while some Masa might have a great family background, they had their own problems, and their problems were so huge that he, the new Masa, knew that their problems weren't something that he, an ordinary guy, could do anything about.
Heck, he even felt that their future was doomed, he thought.
Masa of One Piece probably might get entangled in various problems from the original protagonists, powerful pirates, the Marines, and even the World Government.
Masa of Mahouka had to change the status quo of magicians in a world where the majority of the people were normal humans.
Masa of DxD had to fight against the singularity known as Issei Hyodou.
On the other hand, Masa's new problem was simple; he was born in Japan as an ordinary guy who was simply in poverty.
Yes, this was his problem.
He had no stable income, no parents, and, more importantly, he was a student, which meant he was a minor.
More importantly, his older sister, who was his only family, didn't have a stable income due to her job.
Well, it wasn't like they were troubled by money since they still had money from the insurance from their deceased parents.
Moreover, as long as he grew into an adult, everything would be okay since the money from insurance from his deceased parents should allow him to go to the university without any problems and then get a stable job.
Yes, this was his only problem, but even so, due to a certain accident that his older sister got, their money was at the limit, and they lived day by day by consuming the savings from the insurance compensation.
Fortunately, like any Masa, his appearance was good, and he had a good mind, so his life wasn't bad, especially when there were many kind ladies who wanted to help him.
Naturally, he wouldn't touch them since if he did, his older sister would kill him.
Nevertheless, he understood his role, the role that everyone wished him to be.
The new Masa didn't have to fight, nor did he have to do anything.
After all, just by relying on the memories and abilities of the three Masa, there was no doubt that they could live well, especially in this world where everyone was just a normal human.
Yes, as a normal human, he couldn't give much support, especially when he was living in 2024, which was a backward world compared to the world of Mahouka.
Well, the world of One Piece might also be backward, but there was a lot of unique knowledge, powers, and unique things, but there was nothing in the world of New Masa.
Yet, it didn't matter since the new Masa could help them to read their respective stories of where the rest of Masa lived.
The new Masa knew his role well, yet was that the only thing that he could do?
If it was before, the new Masa might say so, but after half a year, everything started to change for him.
"...don't tell me you have a cheat like those protagonists that are reincarnated in Japan?"
Yes, similar to any protagonists that were reincarnated into the new world, the new Masa also had a unique ability.
"Yup."
"What is it?" 3x
The three of them were surprised and quickly asked curiously, wondering what kind of ability the new Masa had.
However, considering that the new Masa was reincarnated in normal Japan, his ability should be like those romance stories where he gets rewards by dating girls, right?
"No, my ability isn't like that. Even if I date girls, women, or heroines, I won't get anything, okay?"
"Wait! Wait! There are heroines in your world?"
"It should be the case." The new Masa nodded. "I forgot before, but as I got your memories, I remembered all of them."
"....." 3x
This guy... wasn't he so lucky?
They felt like the new Masa was too lucky!
After all, this guy had no need to fight.
Yet, they quickly shook their heads since they knew that even if Masa's poverty might appear like nothing before them, they could say that because they had a lot of money.
Being poor meant that one had no hope, no future, and no sense of peace.
Still, when they heard of the fourth Masa's ability, all of them were dumbfounded.
"Voice of the Future."
The fourth Masa smiled and said, "That's my ability."
"...." 3x
.
.
.
76 The Voice of the Future
The Voice of the Future.
This was the ability of the fourth Masa.
Yes, he might live in a normal world where everything was peaceful, but he had an ability, and this ability allowed him to change his life even if there was no other Masa since this ability allowed him to live well.
How did he get this ability?
It started last year when he was about to become a high school student, and he got a dangerous fever. Then, all of a sudden, he gained this new ability.
What was the use of it?
In simple terms, when he tried to do something, this ability would tell him the best path to achieve success, especially in terms of monetary.
Or rather, it could only be used to gain money, he thought.
If he gave an example, if he chose to make money in the stock market, it would lead him to which stocks would make money; if he had a business, it would lead him to the path that would let him gain a lot of a profit; if he became a civil servant, then it would tell him which superiors that he should kiss so he could have a fast promotion.
In conclusion, this ability allowed them to gain a great future without worrying about money.
Still, there was no doubt that this ability caused all of the three Masa to be in a daze.
Yes, whether it was Masa of One Piece, DxD, or Mahouka, all of them had been troubled by one thing.
Money!
Yes, money!
To develop everything that they had on their minds, money was needed.
Yes, they might be able to rob others, but this wasn't sustainable and stable. More importantly, as they had robbed others, they should also be prepared to be robbed. It was like only those who were prepared to be killed could kill.
So, there was no doubt that the best way for them to gain money was to open a business by combining all the knowledge of the three worlds, but this took a long time!
However, with this ability—
"Thank you!" 3x
All three Masas thanked the new Masa at the same time loudly.
"Ah, no, it's fine."
Masa from the normal world was speechless, but he told them that it was all fine since he didn't do much except have this unique ability, the Voice of the Future, yet even so, he understood why they were so grateful toward him.
Nevertheless, he had to say that all the Masa had shared with him were many good things, which made it even possible for him to control this whole universe if he had to exaggerate.
While, once again, having the power to destroy a city in the normal world might be exaggerated, Masa had to say it was all okay, he thought.
Instead, it was a good thing since when one was living as wealthy and important, there was no doubt the danger around them also increased.
Yet, who cares?
They were all strong, and all of them could get money as they wished to be with this ability.
Masa from Mahouka directly opened a private investment company, trying to gather as much money as possible.
Masa from DxD also did the same and tried to make as much money as possible.
Only Masa from One Piece and the fourth Masa, who came from a normal world mixed with various works, were all calm.
Yet, this was normal, okay?
After all, Masa from the world of One Piece was still in the middle of sailing, and the fourth Masa was just a normal high school student.
Nevertheless, Masa was probably the oldest among them, as he was in the 2nd year of high school.
"By the way, do you have a girlfriend, Masa? Or have you lost your virginity?"
"...you sure asked such a weird question."
While the fourth Masa was speechless, he also understood their questions since all of them wanted to know whether he had eaten anyone within that mixed world.
The world that he was in was a normal world without anything special, but in this world, he had met many heroines from famous works in his previous life.
Still, while he was close, he didn't have a girlfriend, nor did he think of getting one in high school; why?
Wasn't it obvious?
Money.
While his money wasn't bad, especially when he worked as a part-time model, which gave him quite a sum of money, and also gained a scholarship from the school, to manage all of that, he needed to work hard, so he didn't want to waste his time to date.
If the heroines could just accept being held by him without asking for responsibility, it might be good, but unfortunately, they definitely couldn't as they were about the same age as him, so they still had this fantasy where they wanted pure love.
Still, some women wanted to take care of him, making him their pet, but he definitely wouldn't become one.
However, everything changed after he got this ability a year ago, and after getting this ability, naturally, something had to be changed, and there was no need for him to be as stuffy as before. Nevertheless, even if they were all the same Masa, there was no need for him to be clear, right?
Still, watching the expressions of the fourth Masa, all of them looked at him knowingly, but this was good; the fourth Masa had been working hard for his family and family this entire year, so this year, as he had become the 2nd year of high school, he should enjoy his time well~!
Nevertheless, as the fourth Masa appeared, all of them decided to talk to each other for a while, especially after they knew that the time worked differently when they entered this white space, so there was no need to worry about anything.
Still, after they finished their talk, they started their own adventure, but let's talk about the fourth Masa later since this time, the focus was on the Masa of One Piece.
Masa of One Piece stretched his hands high, thinking the future was bright, especially after he got this ability. Watching the scenery of the sea from the window of his room, even though nothing changed much, just as the blue ocean, he felt more comfortable with this "Voice of Future," and at the same time, he knew that all the Masa thought the same way.
Was it possible to develop this cheat further?
The ability of this cheat was to tell the best way to reach success.
In other words, it was a future reading.
Yet, those who were men of science knew that a future was just millions of possibilities that could happen in one's life, and this "Voice of the Future" told them the best path among millions of paths to reach that great future.
Was it just a miracle?
Or was it possible to describe this power as a miracle computer that had computing power similar to that of a god?
No one knew the answer, but all of them had the ambition to develop this ability further, thinking of the possibility of developing this ability into an all-knowing skill that allowed them to see all the information in this world.
"...." The fourth Masa.
"By the way, what's your full name?"
"My name? Well, it is Tenma Masa."
"Tenma?"
"What a peculiar name."
"What do you mean?"
"No, I think that you might as well prepare that your world isn't a normal world."
"...you are joking, right?"
"...."
"Oi!"
All of them were Masa, and they understood that it was impossible for them to stay in the lull. there must be some problems or two, they thought, but they hoped for Tenma Masa to pass his hurdle, they thought.
"Then, let's go back."
"Oh!" 3x
Masa of One Piece, who had left the white space, held Carina and Perona.
The two of them who were being carried by Masa to the room after he finished his experiment, thought that after they arrived at Water 7, they were going to search for more helpers!
"Oh, that's the Water 7."
Hearing his words, the sleepy Carina and Perona lifted their heads and stared at the distant island, wondering whether there was a woman who could attract his attention or not.
Still, as expected, when they arrived at this shipbuilding island, they encountered a similar situation.
"GIVE US ALL OF YOUR MONEY, TREASURES, AND MONEY!"
"...." Everyone.
.
.
.
77 Water 7
Show less
Water 7.
It is one of the most famous islands within Paradise, which was the first half of the Grand Line, and was also famous for its shipbuilding industry.
In a world where the ratio of land was less than the ocean, there was no doubt that it was one of the most profitable industries in the world.
"Capital of Water..."
As Masa thought about the nickname of this city, he felt that it was suitable since he could see how this island was about to sink.
Was it the punishment to this island for creating the legendary ancient weapon?
Masa couldn't help but think so, and when he thought of Enies Lobby, a government-controlled stronghold in Paradise, which had a gigantic hollow below it, and when he thought of this place, it reminded him of the memory of the fourth Masa, who had read the latest chapter of One Piece, he felt that this was similar to the accident of the Lulusia Kingdom, which was destroyed by the whim of the "god" of this world.
Yet, frankly, even if he knew of such a future, there was probably nothing he could do, and he would do nothing, especially when the Lulusia Kingdom had made up their minds to break away from the World Government.
As Masa had said before, the weak had no rights, and to live was either to become strong or oppress those who were weaker than them.
If your status doesn't match, then just be obedient since no one will listen to the weak in this world.
It might be cruel, but would the talk about justice and freedom be heard by those who had power?
No way.
It was because you had a power that people were willing to listen to your nonsense, like those headmasters of schools or leaders of companies who kept talking, yet no one dared to say anything and could only listen obediently.
If the one who said those things was someone with a lower status, then would people even listen?
Still, the talk about morals aside, Masa was curious about what the ancient weapon was.
If he was talking about the future, then the mightiest weapon would be a nuclear-related weapon.
Yet, would a nuclear-related weapon cause a large hole in the sea that was impossible to fill?
More importantly, this weapon would also cause the sea level to rise, which confused him.
Frankly, in his original world, there is also a similar phenomenon that occurred in the Indian Ocean known as a "Gravity Hole," or "Indian Ocean Geoid Low (IOGL)."
The "Gravity Hole" is a circular depression that covers about 1.2 million square miles, just off India's southern coast. It's the lowest point in the geoid and the biggest gravitational anomaly in the Indian Ocean. The IOGL causes a 328-foot dip in sea level.
Frankly, until now, there is no clear answer for why this phenomenon happened, but everyone believes that it was formed by plumes of magma from the remnants of an ancient ocean bed.
These plumes may be related to the disappearance of the Tethys Ocean, which was much older than the Indian Ocean. As India's landmass drifted and collided with Asia, the Tethys Ocean disappeared, and fragments from its sunken floor were offset by the magma plumes.
Or, considering the origin of the author, this hole might be inspired by Naruto Whirlpool in Japan, which was a never-ending whirlpool located in Tokushima, caused by the interaction of the Seto Inland Sea and the Pacific Ocean, and the strait's unique underwater geography.
Still, considering the technology in One Piece, Masa believed that this ancient weapon must be an environment modification type of weapon.
Similar to the technology of Vegapunk, Weatheria, or even Dance Powder on the "Alabasta Arc," which allowed the people in this world to manipulate the weather, which was part of the environment of the world
The ancient weapon in this world was probably the type of weapon that could modify the "very" environment of this world that might cause a disaster such as a flood, an earthquake, a volcanic eruption, etc.
Well, no matter what kind of weapon the ancient weapon was, he knew that it was meaningless to think about that problem now. Instead, he should be thinking about the new ship that he was about to build, and considering the rise of the volume of the ocean, he knew that the bigger was better, so that way, it was possible to have a farm there, too.
Yet, when he thought about the current technology of this world, except for Vegapunk, Masa couldn't help but sigh.
Still, if Noah could stay alive in the great flood with an old ship that he built by himself even if he had no experience to build one, Masa knew that even if the world of One Piece's ship was a little backward, he could stay alive with an old ship.
Nevertheless, the food was still a problem since the size of the ship needed to be huge so Masa could have a farm on that ship since it was impossible for him to eat fish all the time, right?
'Should I use the Ton Ton no Mi?'
Masa knew that with the Ton Ton no Mi, he could make an island float, ignoring gravity, inertia, mass, and the rest like the power of Fuwa Fuwa no Mi of Shiki. By then, there was no need for him to build a ship, and he could live on the floating island all the time.
Well, if he somehow "died," then all the floating islands would fall to the ground, and all the people that he brought would die too.
So, there was no doubt that a ship was necessary, especially a giant one.
Yet, with the current technology and everything, was it even possible to create a giant ship in a short time?
No, building a giant ship for many years would definitely be needed.
'Unless...'
Masa had that "Devil Fruit," he thought.
"What's wrong?" Carina asked with doubt since Masa appeared to be in deep thought, and somehow, if he was in such a situation, she felt that something bad must be happening.
"Did you think something dirty again, Masa?" Perona asked curiously.
Considering how pervy this guy was, she felt that this was probably what this bad guy thought.
"....." Masa and Carina.
"W-Why did you two stare at me that way?"
If it was only Masa who stared at her speechlessly, Perona wouldn't care, but if it was Carina, then it was a different matter!
'This woman...'
Did she think that Carina had the upper hand since she was Masa's first?
'Hmph!'
Perona knew Masa's taste well after she stayed with him, and she was going to make sure that he was crazy about her!
"...this girl is stupidly cute," Carina said with a sigh.
"Let her." Masa didn't care much about Perona's thoughts; after all, everyone's level of education in this world was so different. Not everyone could be smart and level-headed like those who were in positions of leadership in this world.
Or rather, even those with a high status were sometimes stupid.
No, in this world, those with high status were stupid since they had no need to study to live and could enjoy their lives in debauchery without worry.
In this world, if people were smart because they had no one to rely on and they weren't strong, they had to use their heads to live, such as Carina and Nami, who relied on their cunningness to live.
Masa knew that, and that was why he treasured Carina since, whether it was Perona or Brook, neither of them had a good head.
Well, Brook's IQ was quite good, Masa thought, but Perona's?
Let's forget this woman who loved cute and gloomy things.
"By the way, what kind of ship do you want to build? Is it a gloomy one like Thriller Bark?" Perona asked with a cute tone as she leaned him and deliberately pressed her ample breaths against him.
"...no, but I can make a gothic and horror-like room for you on the ship later."
"It's a promise~!" Perona kissed his cheek several times happily, causing Carina to roll her eyes, thinking that it was good for being ignorant.
Still, Carina was probably jealous, so she looked away. Fortunately, Masa wasn't dumb or ignorant, so he held her waist softly, which caused her to look at him helplessly before she leaned on his shoulder.
Well, this was the life of the strong.
Because of that, Masa knew that he had to continue to become stronger or stronger.
Nevertheless, this time, besides the ship, he knew it was time for him to get his fourth Devil Fruit.
Still, Carina and Perona, who were by his side, stared at his face and wondered if it was their imagination, but had their man become more handsome?

"So this is a Water 7."
"You have never been here before, Brook?"
"It's quite different from the past, after all."
"How different is it?"
"Hmm... it was much, much larger than before."
"Larger?" 3x
Brook nodded and said, "This one is so small."
Yup, this was the impression that Brook got when he saw the Water 7 for the first time after so long. The island was cramped, he thought.
"...did you know something, Masa?" Carina quickly looked at Masa, which quickly attracted the attention of Perona and Brook.
"It isn't something surprising since many parts of the world have also been flooded by the sea."
"..." 3x
"...hey, don't say something so scary, Masa."
"Yeah, it is as if you want to say this world is going to sink, right?"
"You are joking, right?"
If this was the truth, then... wouldn't it be scary?
"It's fine." Masa was calm and said, "I am going to make a big ship."
"..." 3x
"Let's stop thinking and just enjoy, okay?"
"It's hard to enjoy this trip after you said that!" 3x
The three of them complained since there was no way for them to enjoy this trip after knowing that this world might be flooded!
Nevertheless, there was no doubt the bigger the ship was, the better.
"Music room and horror-theme room, right? I know." Masa nodded. "I also want to make my own indoor farm, too."
"...indoor farm."
"Stop scaring us!"
While Perona and Brook were frightened, thinking this whole world might be submerged by the ocean, Carina rolled her eyes and asked, "By the way, Masa, what is that?"
"Hmm?"
When Masa followed Carina's finger, he saw a steam locomotive that moved on the top of the ocean.
"....."
The steam locomotive aside, Masa had to say, the technology of One Piece was weird since how could a railway continue to float on the top of the ocean even with such an incredible weight on the top of it?
"Oh, right, this isn't a locomotive."
"What?" 3x
"No." Shaking his head, Masa knew that he had made the wrong assumption since the water vehicle before him wasn't a locomotive he knew. Instead, it was another type of ship that had the shape of a locomotive. "If I am not wrong, it is known as a sea train."
"Sea train?"
"It's a ship, but it uses a different mechanism to move."
"What kind?"
"It seems to be a paddle."
"Oh, not using the wind like ours?"
"Yup, there is a machine inside that ship that will make it move in the ocean. Naturally, this machine needs a different type of energy to move, so it isn't cheap."
"Will you make that?"
"Hmm... let me think first. I want to see what kind of ship this island, which is known to have the best shipbuilding technology, can offer me." Masa folded his arms and said, "I don't lack money, but can their technology satisfy me?"
The highest chance this city couldn't satisfy him, Masa thought.
Yet, there was no doubt that there were many strange and unique technologies on this island, such as "Cola Energy" of Franky.
How the heck did a ship move with a cola?
Was it by using the kinetic energy of the carbonation of the cola?
Or did it get energy from the sugar in the cola?
Masa wasn't sure, but if the fourth Masa brought this technology to his world, there was no doubt those countries that relied on oils and gases to survive would do their best to kill him, he thought, but he would try to get this unique technology.
Regardless, he felt that this island was like Venice, which was also known as the "City of Water" in his original world, and, similarly, this city also sunk in his original world.
"Well, you got a lot of money from Moria-sama, after all..." Perona sighed helplessly, which caused Masa and Carina to roll their eyes.
Moria had a lot of money?
Hahaha...
Still, the two of them decided to remain silent since there was nothing good to show off about their wealth.
"By the way, do you think there is a criminal organization here?"
"There must be." Masa nodded firmly and said, "If one or a group wants to grow, it is impossible to grow by just being kind and gentle, after all."
"...." 3x
"Well, anyway, our purpose is the ship. When we finish, we can play around. There are many places that you can visit and enjoy."
Masa then put his hand in his pockets, and then a wad of money went to Brook.
"...." Perona.
"...this is?" Brook subconsciously accepted the money awkwardly.
"That's one million belly. If that's not enough, tell me."
"Enough! Enough! This is enough!"
One million?
Brook had never touched so much money!
"Tell me if you need more; maybe you want a legendary sword or musical instrument. Just tell me what you need."
"...."
It was good to have a wealthy boss, Brook thought.
"What about me?!" Perona couldn't help but complain.
"Just tell me what you want, and I will buy all of them."
"Really?!"
"Yes."
"Yay~!"
"....."
Watching Perona cling to Masa happily, Brook felt that it was better to become a woman, he thought.
'Well, will he even be interested in female bones?'
"No, I am not."
"Hyohoho, can you tell what I am thinking?"
Masa rolled his eyes, then said, "Let's go."
"Oh!" 3x
With that, Masa ended his time with the ship which he stole from the noble family and entered the Water 7 for the first time. Watching the architecture, canals, fashions, and many others, he felt that this place was really similar to Venice.
Nevertheless, there was no doubt that all of them attracted the attention of many.
"Wow, those two are so beautiful..."
"Wait! Wait! Is that a skeleton?! That's a skeleton, right?"
"Offu!"
Whether it was Perona or Carina, the two of them were beautiful on their own, especially when they had received care and nutrition from Masa, which made their charms even higher.
It was the same case with Brook, who was just all bones with an afro.
Yet, there was no doubt that the one that attracted the most attention was Masa, as he just appeared that special. Unlike before, there were the four of him, and his charm had become even better, which made him a bit speechless.
Nevertheless, Masa often wore a facemask as he learned from the habit of Masa of Mahouka and the fourth Masa.
'Well, I shouldn't call him the fourth Masa, right?'
Yet, when he thought of the world in which the fourth Masa was, it was hard to give him a label such as Mahouka or DxD as the fourth Masa lived in the world with mixed characters from various harem comedy works.
So, the harem comedy Masa?
The fourth Masa became that dense character who didn't notice the feelings of the girls around him.
Well, considering the status of Masa in that world, he felt like... it was normal for him not to be interested in the relationship; at least, this guy wanted to wait until he could enter the university as it wasn't easy to enter his targeted university while working to make money.
If Masa was distracted by a relationship, and his dream was crushed, then... it would be too late to cry, right?
Still, there was no need to worry too much about this, especially after the harem comedy Masa had this ability, he thought.
Nevertheless, as he was in the middle of his thinking, many people with dirty clothes appeared, surrounding them, holding various weapons as they looked at their group with greedy smiles.
"Woho~! The women are so beautiful! Let's get them boss!"
"That walking skeleton is rare! We can sell this skeleton as a slave, too!"
"By the way, that guy with the face mask, isn't he handsome!"
"Anyway! Give up all of your resistance and bring everything!"
"....." Masa, Carina, Perona, and Brook.
"...how many times again this time, Carina?"
"I am too lazy to count, Masa."
"...did you often meet this situation, Masa, Carina?" Brook asked, speechless, wondering how the IQ of people in this world had been lowered so low that they didn't realize what kind of dangerous people this group of people tried to attack.
"Dammit! How dare you?!"
Still, Perona, who was a pirate, didn't have a good temper, and how could she allow this group of people to do something bad to the people she loved?!
Yes, like Carina, Perona simply fell for Masa, who got her virginity for the first time and dominated her entirely, and she also thought of them as a family, so watching her family being threatened like this, how could she bear it?!
Nevertheless, when Perona thought to use her ability, suddenly, out of nowhere, another group of people beat up this gangster group mercilessly.
"You bastard!"
"Do you think you can do whatever you want on this island?!"
"I will beat you to death!"
"....." 4x
Masa, Carina, Perona, and Brook didn't do anything and just remained in silence, watching a group of people dressed like mechanics, and strange glasses beat up the gangster who tried to do something evil to them.
Watching them, Masa felt like he underestimated the value of morals in this world, and he thought that there were no good people left. He knew that it might be strange, but all the people he had met were far from good, or rather, no one was a good person!
Carina was a thief, Brook was a pirate, and Perona was also a pirate.
Masa was the only one who was just a normal guy.
If he appeared on the peaceful island, then would he even try to kill others?
So, while the appearance of this group was strange, Masa was ready to thank them, but—
"We have saved you, give us money!"
"Oh, let us play with your women for a bit, too!"
"Ah, aren't you so handsome? By the way—"
Masa beat all of them mercilessly, realizing that only by being ruthless could one live in this world safely.

"You are not going to kill them?" Perona asked.
"I will give them one more chance. Anyway, they are just a small fry."
Yet, even if Masa didn't kill all of them, he had broken all of their limbs and beat them mercilessly, including messing up their vocal cords so they could no longer talk.
Merciless?
Well, he wanted to be seen as merciless so no one could bother him.
Yet, there was no doubt that he understood the necessity of a reputation since if he had a reputation, then would he meet such a mess?
No one caused trouble to the World Nobles because of the reputation that they had kept for 800 years.
It was also the same case as those Four Pirate Emperors on the New World; in that place, no one dared to cause trouble to the four of them as they had shown their might, which made them feared.
At this moment, Masa knew that he had to be ruthless and feared so that no one could bother him.
"You should let me handle this, Masa."
Brook already held his cane sword, ready to slay all of them, but as expected, Masa's speed was so fast, so before he even did anything, all of the enemies were beaten. More importantly, he wanted to repay him, especially after Masa had helped him, and he also got money from Masa.
If he did nothing, then he would feel uncomfortable!
"Well, I will leave this one to you, then."
"Hmm?"
Unlike the others, Masa felt like the identity of this group of people was familiar, and he knew that sooner or later, the leader and the comrades of this group would come, then as expected—
"Oi! Oi! How dare you do that to my family! Don't you know who they are?! They are—"
"FRANKY FAMILY!"
"....."
Whether it was Masa, Carina, Perona, or Brook, the four of them didn't say anything and looked up, watching many people gathered together as they raised their hands to the side, clearly showing a strange pose.
Yet, more importantly, the leader of this group was—
"PERVERT!" 3X
"..."
Masa couldn't help but sigh, thinking that reality was different from fiction.
In reality, what would happen if you saw a man with just panties outdoors?
Damn!
His eyes!
Still, once again, the reality was different from the fiction since while Franky and the others appeared like good people in the story, when they really appeared, their existence was simply a disturbance. Moreover, as this group was created by a hoodlum, not all of them could follow Franky's creed, who just wanted this island to be better.
Nevertheless, Masa had to say; it was hard to see a grown-up man standing in a high position just wearing nothing but panties, he thought.
Still, while Franky was angry and also thought that all of them were amazed by his entrance, he suddenly felt slightly humilated when he saw Carina and Perona looked at his lower body in disdain.
"D-Damn!"
Franky wasn't sure why, but somehow he covered his lower body tightly with his large arms!
"Huh?! Boss covers his crotch!"
"What's happening?!"
"This... this is the first time in my life!"
"...." 4x
"Should I beat them up, Masa?" Brook asked.
"Go ahead."
"Leave everything to me."
Moria aside, Brook didn't think that Franky and his family were that good.
"By the way, be careful, Brook." Still, Masa decided to remind Brook. "That pervert is a cyborg."
"Cyborg?" 3x
"Oh?" Strangely enough, Franky looked at Masa with a pleased expression. This might be strange, but he had confirmed that his family didn't die, and he knew those who were beaten didn't have a good personality, and watching this good-looking group, he understood why the four of them beat up his family. Still, this and that was different.
Yet, a man's love for a mecha never changed!
"You have good eyes, boys. You can see how amazing my body is."
Franky raised his hands high as if trying to show off his mecha body.
"....." Masa.
"Masa, I can't bear it any more! I will beat them up!"
Perona then summoned her ghosts and ordered them to attack Franky and his family.
"Negative Hollows!"
"Huh?!"
Franky and his family were dumbfounded by Perona's ability.
"Devil Fruit?!"
At the same time, Brook also made his move.
"Eh?! T-That's a skeleton!"
Not only Perona, but Brook's appearance also surprised all of them!
"Hyohohoho, you have made the wrong person your enemy. Also, while I like a woman's panties, I don't like to see a man's panties, so please cover that, okay?"
"NO WAY!"
"...."
"Then, it can't be helped."
Brook didn't care much and decided to beat up all of them first. "I will beat all of you first." All of a sudden, he vanished and moved with a speed that was impossible to follow with the eyes.
Swish!
Brook had no flesh, and his body was made of bones. Because of that, he was fast!
In just a blink, suddenly, he appeared in front of all of them and started to slash them one by one.
"ARGGGGHHH!"
"My arm! My arm!"
"I should die now..."
Facing the might of Perona and Brook, no one within the Franky Family could hold on, and all of them quickly fell one after another. Naturally, as Masa had told them not to kill, they didn't kill anyone.
"I will get my Devil Fruit soon, right?" Carina asked since she felt useless somehow.
"If there is no problem, then yes." Masa nodded. "If not, then we will wait till we go to the next island."
"I know that you might answer me, but what kind of a Devil Fruit do you want me to eat?"
"It is either Paramecia or Zoan."
Yes, besides a certain Paramecia that Masa thought he could find on this island, he thought of a certain Zoan that might suit Carina well.
"Huh? Zoan? The one that turns me into an animal? Really?" Carina was surprised, but then she nodded. "But if it can increase my physical ability, then it might be good." She knew that if her physical ability could increase, then she could help him better. "Is it a bird type?"
If she ate a Zoan, then she wished for one that could help her to fly, so she could run away faster, and probably developed it further so that she could match the boss of the "World Economic," who also ate a bird-type Zoan.
By then, it might even be possible for her to steal the business of the "World Economic" and become the master of media!
"Be patient."
"...." Carina.
Nevertheless, at this moment, Franky was in a panic.
"Boss!" 2x
The only two females in the Franky Family looked at Franky in panic.
"Dammit! What are they?!"
Was this his punishment for being a pervert?!
Or was it his punishment for letting his family do whatever they wanted?
Yet—
"It's too early. Do you think that you can win against me?!"
Franky suddenly put his palms forward, and his arms suddenly swelled up, and a pipe-like device emerged from his palms. All the air was gathered, and at that moment, he was ready to shoot out a powerful compressed air cannon.
"Coup de—"
As Brook got close, Franky quickly used his strongest technique and aimed it toward Brook, Masa, and everyone.
'Ah, this might be dangerous...' Brook thought, but fortunately—
"Don't look down on anyone, Brook. Always go all out."
"Eh?"
Franky was dumbfounded since—
BOOOOOOOM!
A bright light emerged, and then an explosion happened.
'Laser?'
Franky thought as he was swallowed by an explosion along with his family.
While it might be strange, he thought that he had met a comrade.
Still, whether it was Carina, Perona, or Brook, they had to say that Masa was too strong, right?
Nevertheless, Masa wondered what was wrong with his luck, but since Franky had come to provoke him, then there was no need to hesitate. Well, he wasn't going to kill this guy, but he was going to get something from this guy.
"Sorry, Masa, I let my guard down."
"It's fine."
Still, Brook thought that he should train to become stronger.
However, Masa didn't think too much about Brook since he knew well that Franky wasn't weak.
One Piece might be a world where physical ability and the Devil Fruit were supreme against everything, but the power of technology wasn't underestimated, and because of that, Masa was going to get the blueprint on Franky's chest.
Still, before that, Masa was going to get all the important information on Franky's head, including the cola energy.
All of a sudden, everything was surrounded by a hologram illusion, hiding them from the naughty eyes that tried to peek at them.
At the same time, Perona and Brook saw Masa summon a hologram screen and a strange loading bar with "download" and "percentage" written on it.
"...what are you doing?"
"Oh?" Masa looked at the two and said, "It might be easier if you experience it yourselves. By the way, let me give you all the map of this island."
"Hmm?" 2x
While Carina was calm, Perona and Brook were confused until they saw a loading bar on the top of their heads.
"Huh? This is?!" 2x
Yet, all of a sudden, a detailed map of this island appeared in their heads, which made them dumbfounded!
"Cool, right?"
"....."
This guy... wasn't he too amazing?
"Masa, let's go and get their wealth!" Carina quickly said.
"Okay, when this is over. Let's get it."
More money was good, Masa thought.
Still, after he had gained all the necessary information from Franky's brain, he opened this pervert's chest, and a refrigerator spot appeared from that chest.
"..." 3x
Masa put his hand inside, then took out something from it.
"What is that? Is that a treasure map?"
"Well, it can be called a treasure." Masa then manipulated Franky's memory before he cleared up everything. "Let's get their treasure first."
As he said those words, the four of them went to the headquarters of the Franky Family, leaving Frankly and their family behind as if nothing had happened.
Yet, there was no doubt this trip of his to the Water 7 had given him a lot of things; he thought, especially this cola energy and the blueprint of the ancient weapon.

80 Two differences

"Above 100 meters in length?!"
"Yes."
After they had gotten all the wealth of the Franky Family, Masa and his group quickly visited the largest shipbuilding company on this island, The Galley-La Company.
While there might be many shipbuilding companies on this island, which was probably cheaper, Masa didn't have an interest in the no-name characters, and he knew that those companies were as good as worthless.
More importantly, the boss of the Galley-La Company was Iceburg, who was the mayor of the Water 7 and also the disciple of Tom, the shipwright who had built the ship of Gol D. Roger.
Besides Franky, Iceberg was the only person that Masa could think of to make a ship for them.
"Can you?"
"Ah, sure!"
Iceberg was startled, but he nodded since this was a big order!
Luffy's ship, the Going Merry's length was about 10 meters or so, and Thousand Sunny's length was about 50 meters or so, but Masa wished to get double that.
"The money isn't a problem and I also have Adam Wood with me."
"Adam wood..." Iceberg became even more dumbfounded, but—
"But I want to see the design first."
"Yes." Somehow, this was like a challenge for Iceberg, so he was a bit excited since there was no limit on the budget, and Masa even prepared a rare wood, which made it even more interesting.
More importantly, Masa wasn't a pirate, just a wealthy young man who just wanted to make a ship, which made Iceberg ready to go all out!
If only Iceberg knew that Masa had beaten Franky, then there was no doubt this guy wouldn't act this way.
"How much is the design fee? I will give you the money right away."
"No, you don't have to." Iceberg refused Masa's offer and said, "The design fee is free, and when you are satisfied, you can pay the down payment later."
"Okay."
"But can you tell me your request?"
"It has to be high-tech and unique."
"High-tech? Unique?"
This time, Carina, Perona, and Brook didn't say anything, and they just listened to the two since their words weren't something that they could understand.
"Kalifa, bring me papers for a design and a note."
Iceberg was ready to write down all of Masa's requirements, but his secretary didn't seem to answer him. "Kalifa?"
"Ah, yes!"
Kalifa was woken up after she had been staring at Masa in a daze.
Masa also stared at Kalifa and looked at her curiously, but then, his shoulders were nudged by Carina and Perona, who noticed he was staring at Iceberg's secretary, which made him awkward.
Yet, he couldn't help it, okay?
Kalifa.
Somehow, this name was quite memorable, he thought, but then again, this Kalifa was different, especially when she was so tall and had long strawberry-blonde hair and such a large bust. More importantly, her appearance was cool and beautiful, especially those long legs that appeared smooth and slender.
Perona's legs were good, but Kalifa's were on a different level!
Lastly, Kalifa wore glasses, which gave him a strange feeling.
Similarly, Kalifa also couldn't help but stare at Masa since he was so handsome. She might be a spy and disguising herself as Iceberg's secretary, but even so, it wasn't like she didn't have an interest in a relationship, okay?
Still, she knew that she needed to do her job.
"Ah, yes, please wait for a moment, Iceberg-san."
Nevertheless, she felt a bit embarrassed to let her emotions interrupt her job.
"...."
Iceberg was speechless and then looked at Masa, who sat down in between two beautiful women.
"...."
Well, he couldn't say much about this, but—
"Don't seduce my secretary, okay?"
"...did you see me do anything?"
"No, you are not."
However, Iceberg had to say he was a bit jealous!
Was being a handsome guy make him able to seduce any woman as he wished to be?!
"I understand your feeling." Brook nodded as if he could understand Iceberg's thought.
"....."
Iceberg blinked his eyes and asked, "...is he a skeleton? Wait? Is he a skeleton? Ghost?!" He was dumbfounded since he had been ignoring Brook, but when he saw him for the first time, he couldn't help but feel startled and stood from his seat.
"Hyohohoho! That's right~! I am nothing but deadbones~!" Brook laughed happily, then looked at Kalifa, who had returned, bowing his head politely, and said, "By the way, young lady, can you let me see your panties~?"
"..." Everyone.
"...that's sexual harassment." Kalifa took a deep breath and looked at Masa. "I am sorry, but can I kick him?"
"Go ahead. He might be happy, though."
"Then, I won't." Kalifa looked at Brook in disgust like trash, then ignored him.
"....." Brook.
Still ignoring Brook, Masa looked at Kalifa's back, thinking that being a spy was a hard job, he thought. Nevertheless, he had to say that Water 7 had a lot of good things that he could gain.
Or rather, in all the places that Luffy and his group visited, there were many good things!
Nevertheless, in Water 7, his plan didn't change, and even if Kalifa was his type, this and that was a different matter, and to be honest, facing a group of agents that would do anything to do their missions for the World Government, Masa had no guilt or whatever, so—
'Let's do it after this.'
Still, before that, he was going to see whether Iceberg could really make the ship that he dreamed of.
If not, then he might as well make his own ship.
Yet, while Masa was busy making his own ship, the world hadn't calmed down after the death of Kizaru.
The death of Kizaru had a much greater impact on the world than anyone could have imagined.
"Old man..."
On a certain island, a large man with a strange costume and a large axe on his back had been crying for many days, and similarly, a scientist-like figure with an apple-like head had also been in a bad mood for many days, yet even so, he still did his job, showing how obsessed he was with his research.
Yet, for their reaction was nothing compared to the Marines, who had lost a figure of admiral.
Not only was Kizaru killed, they also failed to search for the figure who had killed their admiral.
No information or whatever was known, and all of them were completely clueless about who this person was, which made this powerful organization anxious as if they were being targeted by something invisible.
"As I have said before, let's destroy this island!"
"Then, killing all of those innocents?"
"How do you know that they are not the criminals?! It is better to kill all of those people, including this island, so all of the people can understand what the price is for hunting us! Don't be naive, Kuzan!"
"Isn't this what we're doing now?! We have been hunting all of those pirates, criminals, and everything! We have shown the world that no one can escape from us!"
"BUT THAT'S NOT ENOUGH!"
"EVEN SO, YOUR METHOD IS TOO MUCH, AKAINU!"
Even if Kuzan followed a lazy justice after all of that, he still couldn't bear to see all the innocents in the Saobody Archipelago become a sacrifice for Kizaru.
Yes, Kizaru had died, and he was also sad, but even so, instead of going after the small fry, there were many better methods to show what it meant to provoke the Marines. He might not be able to stop the tragedy in Ohara, but this time, he would stop it!
Still, as Akainu and Kuzan fought each other, no one stopped them since everyone had their own thoughts.
Nevertheless, Garp, the legendary Marine hero, was the same as ever, picking up his nose, showing that he didn't care even if the admiral was killed or not since, in his eyes, they were just the dog of the World Government.
In his eyes, the ones he cared about were just his grandsons, who were pirates, and his pink-haired protegee, who was so selfish, forcing his view on others even if many sacrifices had been made, causing those who had sacrificed themselves for the war to appear meaningless instead of being seen as a hero, who fought for justice.
"By the way, where is Sengoku?"
"Do you need to ask that question?"
"Ah, as expected, being a Fleet Admiral is troublesome," Garp said boldly.
"Don't show me that fact, Garp! You are a Marine! You should know what it means to lose Kizaru to all of us!"
"I know! I know! Stop nagging to me, Tsuru!"
Everyone had their own opinions, and no one backed them down. Even so, Sengoku knew that he had to face the real leader of this world, the Five Elders.
