One Piece: Hashirama Template

That night, the familiar room, the familiar balcony, the familiar starry sky.

Wearing a bathrobe, Link stood on the balcony, looking up at the sky while pondering the future.

Turning Amazon Lily into a subordinate force was the final part of Link's plan.

As long as he could get the Amazon Lily Kingdom and move the island to the New World, Link would immediately become a strong contender for the title of Yonko.

Once Carina and the other girls grew stronger, even Teach would have a hard time competing with Link.

This was because the Blackbeard Pirates followed a mass-production strategy; although their officers were powerful, they were not united.

The Impaler Duke Pirates, on the other hand, followed an elite strategy. The combined abilities of Perona and the other girls were an unsolvable problem for anyone below the level of a top-tier powerhouse.

As long as the officers of the Blackbeard Pirates had not reached the level of top-tier powerhouses like Benn Beckman and Rayleigh, no matter how strong they were, to Hancock, Nojiko, and Perona, they were beings who would be defeated instantly.

The most typical example was in the original story, where several of their officers were taken out by Hancock in an instant.

Besides Carina and the other officers, every Kuja warrior was a product of genius.

To be able to join the Kuja Pirates and go on expeditions with the Empress, the basic requirement was to master two types of Haki.

Those who had mastered only one type of Haki could only stay on the island as kingdom guards.

In the original story, Marguerite could skillfully use Armament Haki at the age of sixteen.

Amazon Lily was full of young warriors like her.

When all crew members were powerhouses with two types of Haki, such a pirate crew would undoubtedly be one of the great pirate crews in the New World.

As long as he gained the allegiance of the Kuja Pirates, the Impaler Duke Pirates would not lack high-end and mid-tier combat power.

As for low-tier combat power, they were disposable.

When two forces went to war, clearing the field with Conqueror's Haki was a basic move.

Almost no low-tier combatants could withstand Conqueror's Haki, so recruiting such weaklings was just a waste of food.

Knock, knock, knock...

As Link was pondering the future, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.

Hearing this sound, Link's eyes first flashed, and then a look of pleasant surprise appeared on his face.

When Link opened the door, a familiar figure immediately threw herself into his arms, hooked the door shut with her foot, and wrapped her arms around his neck to kiss him.

This series of moves was very skilled, but Link dodged the kiss. Looking at the "Nami" in his arms, he smiled and said, "Carina?"

"Link, how did you know?"

"Nami" looked at Link with surprise, then, with a "poof," she was enveloped in a cloud of golden mist, changing back into Carina.

"Although your imitation of Nami's enthusiasm was spot-on, there's one thing you couldn't imitate."

Link wrapped his arms around Carina's slender waist and teased, "That is, Nami never uses the front door. She teleports directly."

"So that's how it is."

Carina had a slight realization. Instead of running away in shame after being exposed, she gave Link a seductive wink and said boldly, "Shall I continue then?"

Link lifted Carina's chin, bringing his face close to hers until their foreheads and noses were almost touching, their breaths mingling. "No need to imitate others. I like you just the way you are."

After speaking, their lips met, and the two challenged the world record for French kissing right there at the door.

When they finished their challenge, the room's lights were turned off, leaving only a single bedside lamp on.

In the quiet room, Link's voice suddenly sounded:

"Carina, can you let me see your human-beast form?"

"Hee hee hee... Link, I didn't know you had such a fetish!"

Despite her words, the shadow cast on the wall by the lamplight grew nine tails and a pair of fox ears.

For one night, Nami and Vivi, as if they had noticed something, did not launch a sneak attack.

However, the next morning, Carina only missed training, not breakfast.

At the long dining table, a physically weakened Carina looked down on everyone, making no secret of her disdain for Nami and Vivi, which made Nami grit her teeth in anger.

Even the usually good-tempered Vivi, who was gentle to everyone, had a cross-popping vein on her forehead.

So what if she's a Mythical Zoan user? Look at her, isn't she just putting on a brave front!

Despite this, neither of the two girls dared to say a harsh word.

Otherwise, they would surely be mocked by Carina.

After all, they couldn't even win in a two-on-one fight, while Carina had managed a draw in a one-on-one. She had won by a landslide.

The three girls' gazes clashed, leaving the innocent Perona, Hancock, and Shirahoshi completely bewildered.

Hancock even began to self-reflect. As the big sister, she hadn't noticed her younger sisters were fighting. She had truly failed the expectations that came with the vice-captain position Link had given her.

She decided she had to have a private talk with them after breakfast.

Link was completely unaware of the rivalry and hidden thoughts among his wings.

It was his first time with a fox, and he was still savoring the memory.

He had to admit, the passionate girl was bold. Having just stepped onto the threshold of adulthood, she dared to spar with Link in all sorts of ways...

The key point was, as a Mythical Zoan user, Carina was very durable.

Having witnessed the vitality and recovery speed of a Mythical Zoan user, Link finally understood why the later stages of the journey would be the "Mythical Zoan" version.

They were truly too strong!

For the next few days, Link was like King Zhou bewitched by Su Daji, feeling uncomfortable every night if he wasn't sleeping with the fox in his arms.

Nami and Vivi, having been neglected for several days, could no longer bear it. They finally rushed over one night, determined to compete with Carina.

After staying in the Alabasta Kingdom for a few more days, Link reluctantly took Carina and the other girls to continue their voyage to the next destination.

The next stop was... Skypiea.

With the Door-Door Fruit and Flame Clouds, whether it was traveling to the sky or the sea, it was an easy matter for Link's group.

Carina and the other girls, visiting a sky island for the first time, were amazed by the pure white islands and sea, and they cheered, wanting to sightsee everywhere.

But this plan was quickly canceled.

Because when they appeared in a crowd, Hancock and Shirahoshi caused a sensation on Angel Island.

If it were just Hancock, she could wear a mask to hide her peerless beauty.

But Shirahoshi was simply too large to hide.

Looking at the frenzied crowd, Hancock simply turned them to stone.

Unable to go shopping, the girls had to split into two groups. One group went to buy local specialties, while the other went to explore Upper Yard, taking the City of Gold along the way.

Most of the gold from the city had been used by Enel to build the Ark Maxim.

This flying ship required the Rumble-Rumble Fruit as its power source.

After Enel's disappearance, the ship was left in an open space in the palace. Link only needed to clear the area with a burst of Conqueror's Haki to take the Ark Maxim.

The small remaining portion of gold was scattered among the ruins of Upper Yard, with some of it having been eaten by the giant snake the sky people called the Nola.

Link didn't immediately go to take the Ark Maxim. He first took Robin to the Golden Bell to read the Poneglyph.

When Robin read the history on the base of the Golden Bell, her beautiful eyes narrowed. She then glanced at Shirahoshi, who, unable to go shopping, could only sit on a Flame Cloud and follow Link to Upper Yard, now looking around with curiosity at the ruins.

Shirahoshi, one of the three Ancient Weapons, [Poseidon]
