Chapter 49: World of Pirates II
As his girlfriends arrived, Dave glanced at their casual outfits and nodded approvingly. "Great, now we're good to go," he said as he stood up.
"Alright, just sit down, we're going there magically," Dave instructed, taking his seat in the circle as his girlfriends and Tony with Pepper followed suit. Once everyone was seated, Dave focused on the system and mentally accepted the quest.
[ Quest Accepted ]
[ Does the Host wish to transport everyone to the One Piece World? ]
Dave nodded mentally, confirming his choice. The system acknowledged his decision, and suddenly, a shimmering aura began to envelop them. Tony raised an eyebrow, clearly intrigued, while Pepper glanced around nervously. The group exchanged a few looks as their bodies were surrounded by the swirling energy.
With a soft hum, the air around them shifted. In the blink of an eye, they vanished from their seats, disappearing from the Marvel world. Everything around them froze in time as Dave and his group were whisked away, their destination: the One Piece world.
***
The One Piece world is a vast, oceanic realm where the seas are dominated by pirates, Marines, bounty hunters, and revolutionaries. Power dynamics are primarily driven by devil fruits, mysterious fruits that grant individuals incredible abilities, though at the cost of their ability to swim. The Marines serve as the world government's military force, tasked with maintaining order and capturing pirates, while pirates roam freely in search of adventure, treasure, and the legendary "One Piece."
Bounty hunters hunt down criminals and pirates for reward money, while the Revolutionary Army fights to overthrow the oppressive World Government. The world is divided into four major seas and the Grand Line, a treacherous ocean where the most powerful forces reside. The balance of power is constantly shifting, as legendary figures like the Yonko (Four Emperors), warlords, and high-ranking Marines battle for supremacy, making it a world full of conflict and ambition.
But the world isn't as black and white as it appears. The World Government subtly encourages pirate activities so that various countries, kingdoms, and islands are forced to seek their protection. In return, these nations pay heavy tributes, often in the form of gold. It's a world where the line between good and evil is heavily blurred. What is shown as evil might be good, and what appears good could harbor deep malice.
In this complex world, Dave and his group have just arrived, with their first destination set in the East Sea, a region relatively calm compared to whole world as this has the protection of an Giant named Monkey D. Garp.
