One Piece: Hashirama Template

Chapter 50: Template at 40%, The Natural Enemy of Logia, The Unstoppable Team



"I look forward to the news of your name spreading across the seas, Teach."

"Zehahahaha... Just you wait, my name will soon be on the front page of the World Economic Journal."

After obtaining the Logia-type Rumble-Rumble Fruit, Link took Enel's body and bid farewell to the Blackbeard Pirates.

Teach waved enthusiastically at Link. Anyone who didn't know better would think they were the best of friends.

Sailing away from the uninhabited island, Link drew a tube of Enel's blood, created a platform with Wood Style, and spat out a fireball to incinerate Enel's corpse.

With the Logia-type Rumble-Rumble Fruit in hand, Link dispelled two of the three Wood Clones he had sent out, leaving only the one heading for the second half of the Grand Line.

Sharing the intelligence from the last remaining Wood Clone, Link summoned the virtual panel that only he could see.

[Host: Link]

[Inheritance Template: Hashirama Senju]

[Unlock Progress: 30% (+)]

[Experience: 13.13%]

Looking at the stored experience on the panel, Link, toying with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, felt even more pleased.

He reached out and tapped the plus sign on the progress bar, increasing the unlock progress to [40%].

In an instant, like Gohan and Krillin having their potential unlocked by Grand Elder Guru in Dragon Ball, the hundreds of trillions of cells in Link's Sage Body filled with vitality, producing an astonishing amount of physical and spiritual energy.

At the same time, a large amount of unfamiliar information flooded Link's mind.

This information was all about how to use new jutsu, not how to train them.

After the system's infusion ended, Link put away the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, sat cross-legged on the deck, and began to merge the physical and spiritual energy surging within his body to form his own chakra.

Before long, Link's chakra reserves had surged, becoming a quarter stronger than before.

In just over five months since entering the Grand Line, Link's chakra had doubled.

It had been less than a year since he obtained the Sage Body, and he had already developed one-third of its potential.

Once the remaining two-thirds were developed, Link's Sage Body would reach its peak, and his Yang Release power would also become the ultimate Yang Power.

At that time, even if Link's consciousness died, his body would not.

If anyone dared to use his cells to make a gene serum, or directly implant his cells, they would most likely explode and die, with only a very small chance of their strength greatly increasing.

After converting all the physical and spiritual energy into chakra, Link digested the jutsu in his mind.

In this tenth feedback, there were elemental jutsu, sealing jutsu, and Wood Style jutsu as well. Link had unlocked another powerful Wood Style technique.

Unfortunately, Link still had not obtained Sage Mode.

If he had Sage Mode, Link's physical abilities and the power of all his jutsu would increase astonishingly.

If he could then fuse Sage Art chakra with Haki, Link would be the bane of Logia users, no longer fearing those whose elements countered his Wood Style.

Three days later.

A piece of news shocked the entire world, but it wasn't about the capture of the Whitebeard Pirates' Second Division Commander, nor was it about Teach becoming a new Warlord of the Sea.

It was the news of the destruction of Enies Lobby!

Just like in the original story, Spandam had accidentally activated a Buster Call, and Enies Lobby was turned into a sea of fire under the bombardment of ten warships.

To cover up the scandal, the World Government pinned the blame on the Straw Hat Pirates.

The Straw Hat Pirates, whose captain had only a bounty of 23 million Beri, immediately became famous across the seas, becoming the most brilliant and dazzling supernova pirate crew of their generation.

The bounties for the entire Straw Hat crew were also included in the newspapers and distributed throughout the world.

["Straw Hat" Monkey D. Luffy, bounty of 355,000,000 Beri, dead or alive.]

["Pirate Hunter" Roronoa Zoro, bounty of 123,000,000 Beri, dead or alive.]

["Black Leg" Sanji, bounty of 80,000,000 Beri, dead or alive.]

[Pet Chopper, bounty of 50 Beri, dead or alive.]

["King of Snipers" Usopp, bounty of 50,000,000 Beri, dead or alive.]

[Okama Bon Clay, bounty of 60,000,000 Beri, dead or alive.]

["Cyborg" Franky, bounty of 58,000,000 Beri, dead or alive.]

Six people and one pet, yet their total bounty reached a staggering sum of over six hundred million. The Straw Hat Pirates perfectly exemplified what it meant to become famous overnight and soar to the heavens.

Other pirate crews had their bounties increase gradually, with the captain and crew members getting bounties one after another, from low to high.

But the Straw Hat Pirates had their entire crew get bounties at once, with two supernovas emerging at the same time.

On this day, the whole world remembered "Straw Hat" and the Straw Hat Pirates.

Also hailing from the East Blue, Link's fame as "The Impaler" was completely overshadowed by the Straw Hat Pirates.

After all, The Impaler hadn't been seen for several months. No one knew if he was dead, had left the first half of the Grand Line, or had entered the New World.

While the Straw Hat Pirates were making a name for themselves, Link, traveling at full speed, rendezvoused with Carina and the other girls in the Kingdom of Alabasta.

That's right, they met in the Kingdom of Alabasta, not in the East Blue or at Reverse Mountain.

It had been about three weeks since Link had separated from Carina and the girls.

During this time, Nami had already convinced Nojiko to go to sea with her.

Nojiko, who had eaten the Paramecia-type Door-Door Fruit, had also used her ability to open a door, allowing their sailboat to bypass the Red Line and jump directly into the Grand Line.

While Link was busy, Carina and the girls took Nojiko through their route again. In the end, because Vivi wanted to see her father and Karoo, the girls waited for Link in Alubarna.

Link used a Body Flicker to enter the royal palace and followed his senses to find Carina and the girls.

Seeing Link return, Carina and the girls, who were playing cards in Vivi's room, were pleasantly surprised, "Link, you're back!"

Vivi and Nami both walked up, holding Link's arms from the left and right.

"Yes, I've kept you waiting."

Link smiled and nodded, then looked at Nojiko standing next to Carina and asked knowingly, "Is this Nojiko?"

"Mhm, mhm..."

Nami nodded repeatedly, smiling. "You left in such a hurry last time, the villagers and Nojiko didn't get to thank you in person."

Almost as soon as Nami finished speaking, Nojiko walked up to Link and bowed. "Captain, thank you for saving Cocoyasi Village and for taking care of Nami during this time."

"You're welcome. Nami is my navigator, so it's only natural that I take care of her."

Link gave Nami a head pat and smiled at Nojiko. "From now on, we're all crewmates. You don't have to call me Captain. Just call me Link, like Nami does."

"Okay!"

Nojiko straightened up, nodded forcefully, and a brilliant smile appeared on her face. "Link, it's a pleasure to be with you."

"The pleasure is all mine."

Link looked at the blue tattoos on Nojiko's collarbone and arm and asked, "Nami told me about the tattoos. Do you want me to help you remove them?"

"Eh?"

Nami was slightly stunned, then her face lit up with pleasant surprise. "Link, can your medical ninjutsu even remove tattoos?"

"Yes."

Link smiled and assured her, "Not a single trace will be left."

"Then I'll have to trouble you."

Without needing Nami's persuasion, Nojiko said politely, "Just help me remove the tattoo on my collarbone. I want to keep the one on my right arm."

"Alright."

Link, of course, knew why Nojiko didn't want to remove the tattoo on her arm.

Because Nami had a tattoo on her left arm.

The Arlong Pirates' symbol, now modified into a pinwheel and a tangerine, held a deep meaning that Nami was unwilling to remove.

Nojiko also didn't want to remove all her tattoos; she wanted to keep a part of that past memory.

This sisterly bond was enviable and moving.

"Please, Link."

Nami also said, holding Link's arm.

"Leave it to me."

Without further ado, Link proceeded to remove Nojiko's tattoo on the spot.

Using... the Chakra Scalpel.

It was one of the jutsu Link had obtained in the third stage.

This jutsu was both an offensive and an auxiliary technique.

Anyone touched by the Chakra Scalpel would have their muscles and meridians severed. It could even easily cut open a person's abdomen for organ transplants.

Link only needed a light touch to scrape off the layer of Nojiko's skin with the tattoo, then infused it with Yang Release chakra full of life force, which immediately repaired the dead cells, making Nojiko's scar disappear completely.

"Wow... there's not a single trace. I feel like Link has gotten stronger again."

Carina marveled slightly. The intelligent young woman had guessed the truth.

"Thank you, Link."

Looking at her fair and smooth collarbone, Nojiko was also very happy and thanked Link sincerely.

"You're welcome."

Link repeated his usual phrase and smiled, "I'll be counting on you to protect Nami from now on, Nojiko."

"Yes, it's my responsibility!"

Nojiko nodded forcefully, her eyes filled with determination.

This was the reason she chose to give up guarding the tangerine grove and go to sea with Nami.

More important than the tangerine grove was protecting her younger sister!

She believed that if Belle-mère knew, she would also support her choice.

Nojiko was filled with gratitude for Link, who had given her this power.

Even before they met, Nojiko had a favorable impression of Link.

Now, that impression was even higher!

After removing Nojiko's tattoo, Link took out the Logia-type Rumble-Rumble Fruit and handed it to Nami, who was smiling beside him as if she were the happiest girl in the world. "Nami, this is the Devil Fruit I prepared for you."

"Eh?"

Nami was stunned again, not expecting another happy surprise today.

Before Nami could take the Rumble-Rumble Fruit and ask about it, Robin, who had been watching with a smile, suddenly looked shocked. "Could it be... the Logia-type Rumble-Rumble Fruit?!"

"The Rumble-Rumble Fruit?"

The girls were slightly taken aback, then Carina said with envy, "Another Logia? Little cat burglar, your luck is too good!"

"Is it a Logia like Vivi's?"

Nami happily played with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit and said subconsciously, "The Rumble-Rumble Fruit, can this Devil Fruit let me turn into lightning?"

"Yes."

Robin calmed her emotions and explained, "The Logia-type Rumble-Rumble Fruit is known as the strongest Logia, and it's one of the invincible abilities even among all three types of Devil Fruits."

"Hiss..."

Carina and the other girls couldn't help but gasp, their voices trembling, "The... the strongest Logia?"

"An invincible ability?"

Nami's beautiful eyes also sparkled. She looked at the smiling Link and couldn't help but throw herself into his arms, rubbing her face vigorously against his chest and cheering, "I love you to death, Link!"

Link stroked Nami's head and smiled, "Alright, hurry up and eat the Devil Fruit. Be careful not to drop it and break it."

"Mhm, mhm..."

Nami nodded forcefully, then carefully held the Rumble-Rumble Fruit. Without even peeling it, she opened her mouth and took a bite.

As the fruit pulp was chewed in her mouth, Nami's face immediately wrinkled.

Fortunately, with Vivi as an example, Nami endured the disgusting taste that felt like an explosion on her taste buds and quickly swallowed the pulp.

Immediately after, as if she had just touched the most disgusting thing in the world, Nami quickly threw away the rest of the fruit.

Before Carina could ask, Nami closed her beautiful eyes and began to feel the changes in her body.

The moment she swallowed the pulp, Nami's Lineage Factor was restructured, giving rise to an ability that felt like a natural talent.

Crackle...

Arcs of electricity appeared out of thin air, swirling around Nami's delicate body.

Nami opened her eyes and raised her small hand.

With a piercing sound of electric current, Nami's fair, jade-like hand immediately turned into a blue-white current.

Carina and the other girls were affected by the electric current and quickly took a few steps back, creating distance from Nami.

Just like the dryness when Vivi used her ability, Nami's hand also radiated the characteristic of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit... destruction!

At this moment, another powerful helper was added to Link's side.

Two top-tier Logias, two top-tier Paramecias.

Except for the super-powerful individuals who had reached the pinnacle of mind, technique, and body, not even Yonko Commanders or their top executives would be a match for the four girls combined.

To be precise, Perona's real body was hidden in another dimension. Her Negative Hollows in the outside world, apart from those with extremely strong Haki and a negative mindset, would instantly defeat anyone they hit.

Without the ability to enter another dimension, one couldn't find Perona's real body, let alone deal with her Hollow-Hollow Fruit.

With the support of Perona's Negative Hollows, no matter who fought against Nami and Vivi, they wouldn't be able to fight at full strength.

Vivi and Nami's fruit abilities happened to cover the ground and the sky, respectively. The two of them together meant they dominated both the land and the sky.

A team like this was almost unbeatable!

Once Carina obtained the Devil Fruit prepared for her, this team would become even more unbeatable.
