Facing the sea, spring warmth and blooming flowers.
This time, they had arrived in the world of pirates. Looking down from their position in the sky, everything that entered their view was seawater, with scattered islands spread throughout it.
"Right now, it should be not long after Straw Hat just defeated Arlong."
Lumine had gotten a wanted poster from a News Coo. It was Luffy's very first wanted poster.
As for the News Coo, she had already blown it into fowl meat. After all, she had gotten used to killing pigeons in Mondstadt.
"The plot has only just begun. How about we make a pirate crew for fun too?" Koji suggested.
Of course, they would not actually do anything pirates did. They would only pretend to be enemies.
"Pirates, huh? I think if we brought Kaeya over, he'd definitely fit in," Eula joked.
With his eyepatch, Kaeya really did look like a pirate boss. He had that pirate vibe.
"If it's Captain Beidou, she'd work too. She has plenty of sailing experience," Lumine said.
Beidou was the kind of fierce person who dared to break into Inazuma during its Sakoku Decree period.
"Mm, makes sense. Give me a moment. I'll go bring them over."
Koji nodded, then disappeared.
Lumine and the others landed on the island below.
However, the moment they appeared, something unexpected happened. Their outstanding looks instantly drew the attention of pirates.
Pirates were pirates. Once a pirate, always a pirate.
Most pirates could be described as murderers, arsonists, robbers, and criminals who committed every evil imaginable. There was no need to have any pity for them.
A pirate like Luffy, or rather, an adventurer, had also caused many irreversible consequences. For example, he had released the prisoners locked up in Impel Down. Once those vicious criminals got out, who knew how many ordinary people they would harm?
A rotten orange was still a rotten orange. There was no possibility of repentance. On the contrary, after being locked up for so many years, they would vent all the negative emotions they had accumulated, causing even more casualties among ordinary people.
"Tendou Banshou! I Will Have Order!"
Lumine imitated Zhongli's movements, folding both arms across her chest. Her golden hair bloomed with dazzling divine light, and a meteorite fell from the sky, smashing those men with obscene gazes directly into meat patties.
Although elemental power was often mocked as "powerless," in this world, elemental power was very capable in battle. Aside from being unable to turn the user into an element like Logia intangibility, it could basically be considered a special elemental Devil Fruit.
"That move belongs to Rex Lapis, right?" Ningguang asked with interest.
Heaven moves all things. Mountains and seas take shape. Barren lands birth stars, brilliant as the blazing sun.
This saying was widely known. As the Geo Archon, Morax used techniques formed from concentrated Geo divine power. Every move could alter the terrain. It was precisely through such techniques that he had carved out Liyue's years of peace.
"Yeah, I learned it from the Geo Archon. It depends on the amount of elemental power you have," Lumine nodded.
An ordinary Geo Vision holder would never be able to produce this kind of power. At most, they could drop a single rock.
As a Descender, Lumine possessed every elemental attribute in Teyvat. Together with the blessings Koji had granted her, she could unleash extremely powerful elemental attacks.
"Ningguang, is it really fine for you to leave Liyue?" Lumine asked.
"Don't worry. I finished half a month's worth of work in advance. Besides, didn't Koji say that different worlds have time differences?" Ningguang shrugged.
Please. Although she was one of the Liyue Qixing, she was still human. Was she not even allowed to take a break?
Tap. Tap. Tap.
The sound of a cane striking the ground rang out, rhythmic and steady. A man with trouble in his eyes slowly walked over.
Lumine narrowed her eyes. A future admiral. His strength was not bad. He could directly pull down meteorites and smash people flat with them.
"Do you need something?" Lumine asked curiously.
Considering her age, there was absolutely no need for her to call Issho something like "uncle."
"Heh, nothing much. I just sensed a meteorite falling and came over to take a look," Issho said with a casual smile.
"It was nothing. Just a group of blind pirates," Lumine said.
"Pirates, huh? This era caused by Pirate King Roger really is terrible." Issho shook his head, deeply disappointed in this world.
"Sir, were your eyes injured by someone?" Ningguang asked.
"No. I closed my eyes because I saw too much ugliness. It was ugliness I did not want to see, things that held no justice at all," Issho said.
"In your view, what is justice?"
Koji appeared with Kaeya and the others, asking with a smile.
"Civilians living and working in peace, not being harmed by pirates, families reunited, and not so many separations by life and death…"
Issho slowly described the world he envisioned.
But in his heart, he knew very clearly that such a world would be difficult to realize.
"Pirates, the World Government, and deeply rooted social classes. All of these are difficult problems to solve. Unless everything is overthrown and this world's civilization is rebuilt from the ground up."
Koji's words made Issho's heart tremble.
Issho naturally knew how powerful the World Government was. Even Rocks, several decades ago, had not dared to replace the World Government and become the true king of the world.
"Young man, saying that kind of thing to me is one thing, but you shouldn't say it to anyone else. It'll bring trouble."
Issho spoke sincerely. He had no intention of reporting him.
"I understand your goodwill."
Koji nodded.
He did not care about this world's World Government. Even Imu was someone he would never take seriously.
"By the way, have you also eaten a Devil Fruit? There was a strange resonance from above."
The power Lumine had used was definitely related to a Devil Fruit.
"You could say that. But it's different from yours," Lumine said.
Elemental power was very useful here. For example, with the Hydro element, if they called Neuvillette over…
O sea, I have returned.
"The commotion you made was too large. You should leave this place quickly. Otherwise, both pirates and Marines will come rushing over."
After Issho finished speaking, he left directly. His cane struck the ground as he gradually disappeared from view.
Koji was speechless. Was it really necessary for him to tap the ground? After all, once Issho activated Observation Haki, everything around him would be perfectly clear to him.
"What a strange person," Ningguang said.
But she could feel that Issho counted as a good person. His heart was the truly kind sort.
"Mm. He's one of the few normal people in the One Piece world," Koji said.
Being called a normal person in this world was extremely rare. Even civilians were affected by pirates or Marines.
"Lumine, did you use elemental power just now?"
Koji looked at the Geo elemental construct on the ground. People from this world could not recognize it, but they certainly would not find it unfamiliar.
"A few blind little pirates wanted to attack us, so I acted first," Lumine said.
She did not care at all about the deaths of a few pirates. After all, most of them already had lives on their hands, and leaving them alive would only bring more suffering to ordinary people.
