As a purple beam of light shot into the sky, the entire seal shattered completely, and terrifying energy fluctuations spread out.
Amidst the purple energy, Sara looked solemn, sweat dripping from her forehead as she desperately tried to control the power of the Dragon Veins beneath her feet.
Vegapunk looked at the wildly spinning energy meter in his hand, frowned slightly, but still spoke calmly, "Don't try to control the Dragon Veins with all your might. Just let the area around us calm down first. We can talk about the rest after the Dragon Veins' energy has been vented."
"Ugh... I understand!" Sara managed to say with great difficulty, shrinking her control radius until the Dragon Veins near them finally settled down.
However... Vegapunk glanced around. The purple light pillar still enveloped them. Extending his Observation Haki, which was augmented by magnetic field manipulation, Vegapunk could feel the entire external magnetic field in utter chaos, fluctuating high and low. The space outside was shattering like a Mangekyo pattern.
"This must be the ability of Space-Time Transfer, right?" Vegapunk muttered, lowering his head. He pulled out a new instrument and began recording.
In fact, Vegapunk had prepared for this before coming here. The Dragon Veins' rampage could still throw people into a Parallel World even over a decade later, so the possibility of Sara failing to control the Dragon Veins this time was quite high.
Not being able to control it didn't matter, as long as they could ensure their safety. Vegapunk was confident in himself and didn't believe he would be trapped in a Parallel World unable to return.
Soon, the purple light column gradually weakened, revealing a pale red sky and the astonishingly large Nine-Tomoe Red Moon hanging above.
Vegapunk's mouth dropped open: "Damn it!... This is... bad..."
Faintly, a weak but extremely high-quality Chakra invaded Vegapunk's brain. But in the very next instant, a spark flashed on Vegapunk's forehead, and the sense of illusion immediately diminished greatly.
Simultaneously, the Quantum chip in his brain began to operate rapidly: [Detected host self-consciousness unable to run autonomously! According to regulation 15, initiating deep consciousness arousal! Entering autonomous operation protection phase!]
Moments later, Vegapunk clutched his head, feeling waves of dizziness. He looked up, only to find the scene before him bizarre and kaleidoscopic, as if he had entered a grotesque world.
"Infinite Tsukuyomi... This is truly terrible! Fortunately, most of the genjutsu power was blocked, preventing me from sinking directly into the dream."
"Quantum chip, block all external signals from entering the brain! Scan using electromagnetic capabilities, then decode the electromagnetic information and convert it into the five senses system!"
[Received. Conversion complete.]
Following the mechanical voice from the Quantum chip, Vegapunk's eyes flashed black then bright, and the previous sense of illusion completely vanished.
However, even after blocking the signals to his brain, Vegapunk could still sense the strange, illusory power permeating the entire world, and even feel unusual electromagnetic waves constantly echoing.
"We're really unlucky!" Vegapunk, having recovered, glanced around and saw an incredibly huge tree root, covered with objects resembling tree cocoons hanging from it.
Just then, beside Vegapunk, an overbearing spiritual field rapidly expanded. With a sharp cry, the Rinnegan mark in Hancock's eyes instantly shattered.
"Damn it! How dare someone try to control this Empress?! Who did this?!"
"Hancock has recovered too! It seems Conqueror's Haki is quite useful!"
Seeing Hancock regain consciousness, a look of relief appeared on Vegapunk's face. Although the Infinite Tsukuyomi could be considered the top-tier genjutsu of the Naruto World, in terms of sheer power, it wasn't necessarily much stronger than ordinary Mangekyo genjutsu.
It was only because Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's Chakra authority was too high that all Ninja who cultivated the chakra system were inherently unable to resist. But for Hancock, who possessed Conqueror's Haki, and Vegapunk, who maintained an electromagnetic barrier, the effect was greatly reduced, as neither of their systems relied on Chakra.
"darling, are you alright? What is going on?" After waking up, Hancock looked around, observing the human cocoons hanging on the tree and the pale red moonlight, asking in surprise.
"I'm not entirely sure. We must have been thrown into a Parallel World by the Dragon Veins of Loulan. This doesn't seem to be the Loulan Kingdom either... Judging by the constellations in the sky, we are probably no longer in the Land of Wind."
Vegapunk spoke a few words, then suddenly saw the massive trunk extend thin branches—though they only seemed small when compared to the enormous trunk itself.
Those branches were at least as thick as large bowls, and they stretched out like giant pythons toward Sara, who was standing next to Vegapunk. They instantly wrapped her up. Vegapunk was slightly stunned, but Hancock reacted immediately, kicking out and turning the branch into a pile of crumbling stones.
However, the branches were endless. Dozens more quickly swept toward them. Hancock remained fearless, extending her hand to form a red heart: "Captivating Arrow!"
A large number of pink arrows burst forth, instantly turning the branches and even the trunk into stone, including the human cocoons beneath the trunk.
Hancock's attack seemed to alarm the great tree. As the entire trunk surged, with cracking and popping sounds, the stones immediately cracked and shattered, and the bodies inside the cocoons also turned into fragments.
Neither Vegapunk nor Hancock paid attention to this detail. After observing Sara closely, Vegapunk shook his head, "Let's leave first. Sara can't regain consciousness right now."
Hancock frowned, "But darling, if we don't have this woman, how are we supposed to get back?"
"It's fine... I observed the people in those cocoons. Even if she's captured, it won't be fatal for the time being. We can figure out a way to rescue her later."
Vegapunk added that leaving her alone wouldn't actually matter much. Not only would there theoretically be two saviors to save the world, but the world's inherent rejection of outsiders would be enough to eventually repel the three of them back after a certain period.
Just then, a rumbling sound came from afar, and the ground vibrated slightly. In the extreme distance, a faint glimmer of an explosion could be vaguely seen.
Vegapunk frowned. His Observation Haki, integrated with electromagnetic waves and fused into a radar scanning mode, could extend nearly a thousand kilometers, yet even so, he still couldn't sense the location of the battlefield.
"The aftershocks can be felt from this far away... That's truly monstrous! Compared to the Naruto World, although the low-level combat power in the One Piece World far surpasses it, the high-end combat power is actually inferior to Naruto's."
"It looks like we shouldn't go near that battlefield to join the fun..."
