One Piece: Hashirama Template

"Zehahaha... To take down the Pirate Empress and Amazon Lily without a word, that's Link for you."

Looking at today's newspaper, the now high-spirited Teach couldn't help but let out his distinctive laugh.

Just over half a month ago, Teach would have been full of apprehension.

Although he is still wary of Link, Teach is not afraid of him.

Laffitte spun the cane in his hand and remarked, "That pink dragon, having the Pirate Empress and Amazon Lily, plus those four mysterious people who created barriers and water dragons... who knows how many hidden cards this Impaler has."

"From the moment he sought me out, he was planning everything. Even helping the captain obtain the Paramecia Tremor-Tremor Fruit was part of his plan. The world despises pirates, yet he released those big shots from Impel Down and allowed me to grow. It's clear his public image is just a persona, a facade deliberately created to confuse everyone. His strength and intelligence are both terrifying. I truly don't know what his ultimate goal is."

Hearing this, the smile on Teach's face faltered for a moment, then he continued to laugh heartily, "Zehahaha... It doesn't matter. No one can win forever. As long as you're strong enough, all schemes and plots will fall apart on their own. If you're scared, then just get stronger. After all, there's only one throne!"

Kingdom of Dressrosa, Royal Plateau.

Doflamingo looked at the newspaper, his face covered in a cold sweat. "That Devil Fruit... isn't that the failed artificial Mythical Zoan?"

As Caesar's partner, Doflamingo of course knew about the pink dragon.

He never imagined that the artificial Mythical Zoan, Azure Dragon Model, defined as a failure by Vegapunk, wasn't a failure at all.

When he learns the reason for its failure from Vegapunk through his spies in the World Government and the Marines, he will surely spit blood.

Who would have thought that Vegapunk defined the Devil Fruit as a failure simply because its color was wrong.

As long as the ability is the same, what does it matter if the color is off?!

If Doflamingo had known this, he would have taken that Devil Fruit long ago.

After all, that artificial Mythical Zoan, Azure Dragon Model, had always been stored in the room Caesar used for failed products. Doflamingo, who had sent Monet to Punk Hazard to assist and monitor Caesar, had known about it from the beginning.

Before a wave of deep regret could wash over him, Doflamingo's heart filled with fear.

He never thought that Hancock, that extremely troublesome woman, was one of Link's subordinates. Back in Mary Geoise, the two of them didn't seem to get along at all.

Because Link was sitting nearby, Hancock had cast many hostile glances his way.

It turned out to be an act?

With such good acting skills, why be a pirate? She should just debut as an actress!

If I had known he was hiding so much, how would I have dared to be so arrogant!

With two Mythical Zoan users, one Warlord of the Sea, and a group of experts proficient in two forms of Haki under Link's command, Doflamingo felt extremely uneasy.

Thus, Doflamingo quickly sent for Violet, asking her to use her Glare-Glare Fruit's clairvoyance to find and monitor the Impaler Pirates. He, in turn, contacted the Beasts Pirates again.

It didn't matter if he was mocked by Kaido and the Three Calamities.

Compared to his life, what was a little bit of face?

Besides the Blackbeard Pirates and the Donquixote Family, various powers in the New World were also paying close attention to and discussing the Impaler Pirates, including the other Four Emperors' crews.

Before Link entered the New World, no matter how glorious his achievements were, in the New World, it was just gossip.

After all, no matter how strong Link was, he wouldn't infringe upon their interests.

But now, things were different.

Not only had Link entered the New World, but the Impaler Pirates had also transformed from an unknown crew into a major pirate crew with a large number of Haki experts.

If Link's goal was the vacant Emperor's seat, he would definitely expand his territory.

At that time, any of them could become Link's target, so they had to be on guard.

At this moment, the protagonist of the New World's discussions had finally arrived at his chosen sea region, having Shirahoshi place Amazon Lily down.

This sea region was very remote and had a very special environment. Apart from a merchant ship that would risk passing through once a month, few sailing ships ever entered here.

Not far from Amazon Lily, there was an island.

On this island, there was a very old town called Sleepy Town.

Due to the special environment, the residents of the town also found it difficult to enter or leave this sea region. Thus, they could only make a living by raising bats, collecting their droppings, and trading the culled, unqualified bats with the merchant ships that ventured in.

In addition, the island had a large number of medicinal herbs.

This was a neighbor Link had specially chosen for Amazon Lily. His Wood Clones had spent a long time finding this island!

Sleepy Town did not appear in the original story, but it did appear in a One Piece game.

One of the four legendary pirates of the previous era, Patrick Redfield, the "Red Count," who, like Shirahoshi, possessed innate Observation Haki, found the Zoan Bat-Bat Fruit, Mythical Model: Vampire here.

This special sea region could prevent the World Government's Mother Flame from locking onto their position.

The soil of Sleepy Town was suitable for growing medicinal herbs, which could accelerate the growth of Carina, the other women, and the Kuja warriors.

And there was that Mythical Zoan, Vampire Model, hidden somewhere.

Choosing this sea region as a base was simply too perfect.

After having Shirahoshi set down Amazon Lily, Link immediately had Nami and Nojiko accompany Robin to Sleepy Town to find the Mythical Zoan, Vampire Model.

In less than an hour, the three women returned with a Devil Fruit; it was indeed the Mythical Zoan, Vampire Model.

Looking at the Mythical Zoan, Vampire Model in Robin's hand, Carina was not surprised.

Carina and the other women were already used to Link's intelligence-gathering capabilities.

After all, they had witnessed Link use the Multiple Wood Clone Technique more than once.

Being able to create so many Wood Clones, which could then use Wood Transformation to turn into other people, who knew how many people on this sea were actually Link's clones.

The whole world was his eyes. Carina wouldn't be surprised if Link found the location of Laugh Tale.

Taking the Mythical Zoan, Vampire Model from Robin's hand, Link then took out the Paramecia More-More Fruit and the Paramecia Op-Op Fruit. He asked Hancock to call a few people over, preparing to distribute these three top-tier Devil Fruits.
