Chapter 243 Heading to the New World

"Okay, now it's time for the last test."

Uchiha Feiyu took out a small piece of stone from his hand and handed it to Bell. The devil fruit user took a long breath, stretched out his hand and took the tiny stone.

"Well……"

"How do you feel? Is there any difference compared to before?"

Seeing Bell frowning, Uchiha Feiyu quickly asked. Bell took a long breath. Although he looked a little weak, there was a hint of joy in his voice:
"I feel like the effect of seastone on me has become much weaker! Now, at most the physical strength bonus from the devil fruit has disappeared a lot, but my own physical strength has not completely disappeared!"

"Is that so? That's enough!"

There was a flash of excitement in Uchiha Feiyu's eyes. As long as it worked, it would be fine. This proved that the power of faith absorbed by the Future Immortality Sutra could indeed make up for the shortcomings of the devil fruit.

The reason why Bell would still be weakened by seastone is because his own power of faith is insufficient. Even the evolution of the devil fruit has just shown a trend. Uchiha Feiyu certainly does not expect to completely make up for the shortcomings of the devil fruit at once.

You have to know that Bell did not promote any faith in Alabasta at all. He relied entirely on the spontaneous faith of the people of Alabasta to make such great progress. If the state machinery were truly turned on for propaganda, Uchiha Feiyu was confident that he could gain dozens or hundreds of times more faith.

By then, whether it is the evolution of the devil fruit or the compensation of defects, it should be enough... Not necessarily. Theoretically, the more powerful the devil fruit is, the more power of faith it will require to go further.

The devil fruits that Uchiha Feiyu is interested in are almost all the most advanced devil fruits in the world. The faith required to go further is definitely not comparable to that of an ordinary animal system.

But he was not in a hurry. There were many countries in the pirate world. With his strength, he could always think of a way to gather the power of faith.

After sending Bell away, Uchiha Feiyu made up his mind and prepared to get the devil fruit he coveted.

"The devil fruit that suits me best... I don't know if there is a blood-blood fruit in this world, but even if there is, it's not easy to find... Then let's go to the Sleeping Ancient Town in the New World to look for that vampire fruit!"

"Besides, there is Blackbeard... Whether it's his Dark-Dark Fruit or his strange body that can hold multiple Devil Fruits, they are both extremely valuable to me... The only problem is that my current strength is almost the same as his. It's not easy to beat him, let alone kill him."

Of course, this is only a matter of time. After obtaining the Dark-Dark Fruit and exposing his own ambitions, Blackbeard has indeed made rapid progress. However, no matter how fast he progresses, can he be as fast as Uchiha Feiyu, who is a cheater?
There are still at least a few months left before the Battle of Marineford. After a few months, I will definitely have the strength of the Four Emperors, and then I can go and cause trouble for Blackbeard.

"Go directly to the new world? That's a little troublesome... But with my current status, I can try another method."

What is Uchiha Touha's current status? He is Princess Vivi's fiancé and can be said to be the next heir to the Kingdom of Alabasta. This status doesn't sound very impressive, but in fact, he is already a member of the Alabasta royal family and can directly borrow the power of the navy to go to the New World!

If you have the power, you should use it. Uchiha Feiyu is not a member of the Straw Hat Pirates who thinks about sailing on the sea on his own every day. He goes to sea to gain powerful strength, and secondly, he wants to see the scenery of the world of One Piece.

After discussing with King Cobra, Cobra quickly contacted the navy and called a naval warship near Alabasta. What surprised Uchiha Feiyu was that the person he met was actually an acquaintance.

"Smoker? Why are you running to the Grand Line instead of staying in Rogue Town?"

The navy sent the fleet closest to Alabasta, but Smoker's jurisdiction is not here.

"I came here following the Straw Hat Pirates and Buggy the Clown... When we were in Rogue Town, a mysterious man rescued Straw Hat Luffy, and then Buggy the Clown followed him onto the Straw Hat Pirates' ship..."

"That Straw Hat Boy didn't seem like an ordinary person, so I chased him all the way to the Grand Line, but unfortunately I didn't catch him in the end."

As he spoke, Smoker covered his cheek, which had obvious bruises on it. In addition, his arms were covered with bandages.

Uchiha Feiyu touched his chin. It was obvious that Smoker was beaten. And with the natural devil fruit, there were only two people in Alabasta who could beat Smoker down.

One is naturally himself, and the other is Ace of the Fire Fist. If Uchiha Feiyu's estimation is correct, Smoker probably met Ace and was beaten up by him when he was chasing the Straw Hat Boy.

"It seems that your pursuit was not going smoothly. Did you encounter any obstacles?"

"It's not going very smoothly. I didn't expect to meet the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates' Second Division in Alabasta. I don't know what this guy wants to do in the New World. I have already reported to the Navy Headquarters! We must not let those pirates run so rampant!"

As he spoke, Smoker's face once again showed a grin, obviously he was too excited and had agitated his injury.

"Fire Fist Ace? I met him too... That Straw Hat Luffy got mixed up with the rebels in Alabasta and was severely injured by me. It just so happened that this guy was rescued by Ace. It is said that they are sworn brothers."

"Is Fire Fist Ace also related to Straw Hat Luffy?"

The expression on Smoker's face was a little surprised, which made Uchiha Feiyu stunned for a moment:
"Don't you know? Didn't Fire Fist Ace fight you because you were chasing Luffy?"

"No... I haven't caught Luffy yet. I just caught Buggy the Clown. He seems to have some connection with that Ace, so Fire Fist Ace rescued him!"

It turned out to be because of Buggy the Clown. Speaking of which, when Ace the Fire Fist went out to sea, he did meet Buggy the Clown, and it seemed that the two sides even held a banquet, so they had a little friendship.

Given Ace's personality, he would definitely not remain indifferent when seeing his friend being captured by the navy. It was normal for Smoker to be beaten up.

Fortunately, Ace seemed to have only hit Smoker, and the others were not injured, but looked a little depressed.

Later, Uchiha Feiyu found out that Ace used the Conqueror's Haki attack to knock down all the soldiers. Only Smoker and Tashigi blocked the attack. Tashigi was a woman, so in the end, only Smoker was beaten.

Smoker didn't want to talk about his experience of being choked up, so he quickly skipped the topic:
"By the way, I heard that you defeated Shaklockfar? And ruined that guy's plot to steal the country?"

"I didn't defeat him. I killed him directly." Uchiha Feiyu said with a chuckle, making Smoker's eyes widen.

Although he had received the intelligence a long time ago, he could never have imagined that when he was in Rogue Town, the opponent's strength was not that strong? How come he came to the Grand Line and even killed the Seven Warlords of the Sea?

"Amazing! As expected of Mr. Uchiha Feiyu!"

Tashigi stared with her big eyes. This girl wasn't very smart. She had a typical pirate mindset. She just thought that Uchiha Feiyu was very awesome and didn't consider whether this was reasonable or not.

"By the way, you killed Shaklockfar, so are you willing to inherit his position as Shichibukai?"

Smoker seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked. Uchiha Feiyu rolled his eyes:

"I'm not a pirate, why should I inherit the so-called Seven Warlords of the Sea?"

Smoker was stunned for a moment. The position of Seven Warlords of the Sea was actually selected from pirates. Smoker only thought about Uchiha Feiyu's strength and directly ignored the prerequisite requirements.

"Well... that's true. You might even become the king of Alabasta in the future. The Seven Warlords of the Sea really have no meaning to you."

No matter what, the kings of the allied nations still have more power than the Seven Warlords of the Sea. It is only because of the huge gap in individual military strength that the Seven Warlords of the Sea seem to have a higher status than the kings of the allied nations.

"Okay, let's not talk too much, just take us to the new world first!"

This time when Uchiha Feiyu went to the New World, he was not alone, he also brought Nami and Robin with him.

Needless to say, Nami wanted to obtain more nautical charts and learn about the sea conditions in the Grand Line through the navy. As for Robin, she naturally wanted to see if there was any news about the historical text.

Of course, Robin himself did disguise himself. It was not the disguise technique of Princess Vivi that only changed the hairstyle, but Uchiha Feiyu himself did it, which was almost a complete change of appearance.

The book of magic inheritance also contains methods of disguise, and this disguise technique that uses external objects is very cheap and does not require many sacrifices.

The most sophisticated disguise technique can even allow a person to completely change his or her appearance, and the appearance will automatically change as the person ages, making the person look like a completely different person.

Unless special potions are used, the disguise on the face will never disappear. This time, no one can see through Robin's disguise. As long as she doesn't use the power of the devil fruit, she can easily get on board the navy ship.

The navy is indeed the largest force in the entire ocean, especially in the first half of the Grand Line, which can be said to be the world of the navy. Every three islands there is a small base commanded by a colonel of the navy headquarters, and every five islands there is a large base commanded by a vice admiral of the navy headquarters. Whether it is the undercurrents, ocean monsoons or island climate, they have all been explored clearly.

With the help of the navy's route, the journey was smooth and we saw the Red Earth Continent in just over half a month.

"Once you pass the Red Earth Continent, you will have to find a place by yourselves. I don't know what you want to do in the New World, but I have to tell you that even with your strength, it is far from safe in the New World. There are many people stronger than you, although not countless."

Smoker said to Uchiha Feiyu with a serious face, and Uchiha Feiyu rolled his eyes:
"Come on, I went there just to find a treasure, not to challenge the Four Emperors. Why do you think I would be in danger so easily?"

He is neither a pirate nor a navy. As long as he does not take the initiative to provoke those large pirate groups, Uchiha Feiyu's current strength is definitely enough in the New World.

Smoker choked and said angrily:
"You, don't be so ungrateful! Those pirates in the New World don't care whether you are a marine or not. The level of chaos in the New World is far beyond your imagination. Without the flag of the Four Emperors' Pirate Group, you can't take a single step on that sea!"

If the paradise in the first half of the Grand Line is the world of the navy, then the new world in the second half is the world of pirates. The strength of both sides is just reversed, and the degree of chaos in the sea ruled by pirates can naturally be imagined.

The Four Emperors Pirate Group's base is still okay. The Four Emperors Pirate Group, which already has the rudiments of warlords, can still maintain a certain order in its base.

However, those border areas, or places beyond the rule of the Four Emperors, are almost everywhere in chaos. Pirates and pirates, pirates and countries, countries and countries, everywhere is in a state of war.

"Tsk, is the New World so chaotic? I thought there was at least some order here!"

"Now you know, right? The reason why this place is called the New World is not only because of its harsh environment, but also because the order here is completely different from other places..."

"Isn't this all your navy's fault? Your navy is just too weak. It can't eliminate the pirates, so it just puts all the pirates in the New World. The countries in the New World are so chaotic, it's also your navy's fault!"

As soon as these words came out, Smoker's face turned red:

"You...what do you know...this is...this is necessary..."

What follows is a series of difficult things like naval strategy and the dominance of the world government.

Instead, Dashigi blushed and bowed directly to Uchiha Feiyu:
"I'm sorry, this is all our navy's responsibility. We will work harder in the future!"

"Look, look, Smoker, you are not even as good as Tashigi! At least she won't shirk responsibility."

"Asshole! It's easy for you to say that. The Navy has done its best to suppress these big pirates in the New World! It's almost impossible to defeat all the big pirates in one fell swoop."

"Yeah, but that's your navy's problem and your navy's responsibility. What's the point of you telling me that? I don't look at the reasons, I only look at the results! The result is that your navy can't deal with pirates, right?"

"…How on earth can you live this long?"

"Maybe it's because I work out so often that some grumpy guys have to listen to me patiently!"
