Hao Jiu wasn't very familiar with the other nine planes, but judging from the texture of the buildings and the appearance of the characters, they certainly didn't seem like three-dimensional worlds.
In the second wave of ten random teleportation channels, Hao Jiu encountered a Gundam robot battle in space, but to be honest, this wasn't very significant.
The third wave has twenty random teleports, the fourth wave has fifty, and the fifth wave has one hundred!
Hard work pays off! Hao Jiu finally found a dimension related to One Piece.
In this world, characters from One Piece such as Zoro, Nami, and Robin have become real people, and their stories are well-known and loved by the public.
However, the greatest hero in this world is a guy named Roon. The original protagonist of One Piece, Luffy, was unknown and almost disappeared from the world, becoming just a minor character.
Thanks to Ron's efforts, this world has become a peaceful, friendly, democratic, and prosperous one, with no pirates and even no Devil Fruit users.
Therefore, Hao Jiu concluded that this world was originally the world of One Piece, but due to a system intrusion, some unknown guy overpowered all the villains and stole half of the protagonist Luffy's crew.
Well, all the pretty girls, including the Empress, have been snatched away, plus Zoro, because Zoro is Roon's junior apprentice.
There's no need to feel sorry for Luffy, since this world's Luffy hasn't developed deep relationships with those girls yet. In the original story, his wife was stolen, so here he'll probably receive the most sincere blessings.
For Luffy, as long as there are banquets, wine, and meat to eat every day, he is content. He has no idea what women are for.
Of course, Xiang Yu and Hao Jiu weren't there to save Luffy, nor did they want to interfere in Ron's private life. To be honest, it's perfectly normal for a man to unify the world and start a harem once he has a system.
Xiang Yu and Hao Jiu's target on this trip is Bruno, who possesses the Door-Door Fruit. However, based on the information they currently have, Bruno might already be dead.
"Where do we find Bruno?" Mini Xiang Yu used his domineering energy to isolate the storm in this sea area, which was just a moment ago when the sun was shining brightly.
"Find a floating island in the sky. My Shadow System just infiltrated Marine Headquarters and found some clues; there might be Devil Fruits on that island."
Hao Jiu originally thought that after arriving in this world, he would have a great battle with Ron. However, after defeating all his opponents and completely transforming the world, Ron left this world to seek a wider world.
Not only Ron himself, but also his harem, all his companions, and even Luffy and his crew, all left this peaceful but boring world.
Fortunately, that happened more than 30 years ago, and Bruno was not even 40 years old at that time. That means Bruno is probably around 70 years old now. As long as he wasn't killed, he is very likely still alive, at least ruling out the possibility of dying of old age.
However, Bruno disappeared early in the original One Piece story, most likely to have gone to a small island to live in seclusion, or even changed his name. Coupled with the strange abilities of the Door-Door Fruit, he would be really hard to find.
"I've found the Sky Island, it's about a hundred miles ahead!" Xiang Yu dispersed his domineering energy particles and quickly spotted a Sky Island. "Wait, there's one to the left front, and one to the right front..."
"Uh, I forgot, there are many sky islands in this world." Hao Jiu smiled awkwardly. "Then let's look for sky islands with golden ships on them. If we can't find any, let's look for sky islands with people. Let's check them one by one. Oh, and remember to also look for the old man with the bull-horn hairstyle all over the world. Hopefully, Bruno hasn't gone bald..."
"Hmm." Xiang Yu replied, then closed his eyes and focused all his attention on sensing.
A moment later, Xiang Yu's lips twitched repeatedly. "God of Wine, there are quite a few sky islands with people and old men with horn-shaped haircuts. I haven't seen any sky islands with ships."
"It's alright, I have a plan. Yu Shen, first note down the locations of the inhabited sky islands, and we'll search them one by one later." Hao Jiu then used his resentment to exchange for some luck points, maximizing Xiang Yu's luck.
The sources of resentment are relatively stable now. A small portion comes from the resentment of the women being ignored by Xiang Yu, while the majority comes from Xiang Yu's family.
It is said that Xiang Yu has not been home for a long time. His son has almost forgotten about him, and his mother is also quite resentful and has not appeared for a long time!
Just then, Xiang Yu asked in confusion, "God of Wine, I spotted a spaceship in the sky. Uh, not a spaceship, just a simple flying ship with lots of oars."
"A spaceship with lots of paddles? Great! That's it!" Hao Jiu was overjoyed, not expecting things to go so smoothly.
Whoosh!
Xiang Yu teleported instantly to the top of the flying ship. "It really is gold."
Hao Jiu smiled slightly, "This spaceship is called Ark Maxim, and its owner is none other than Enel, the so-called god-like user of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit!"
Sizzle...
Lightning flashed!
Chapter 574 Getting Bigger
The lightning flashed and disappeared in an instant, transforming into a half-naked man.
It was Enel, the user of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
"Huh? What race are you? Why are you so small? That's strange!" Enel teleported in front of Xiang Yu, his cross-eyed eyes wide as he carefully examined the miniature Xiang Yu.
"Of course I'm human, I've just shrunk in size!" Xiang Yu's lips twitched violently. Wasn't this guy in front of him even stranger?
Enel wore a white headscarf, had four small golden drums with three tomoe painted on them, wore lantern pants, and was barefoot. Up to this point, he was still considered normal.
However, his earlobes were extremely long, and he wore a pair of gold earrings the size of walnuts. It's unclear whether his earlobes grew this long first, or after he started wearing the gold earrings, or perhaps both.
This guy's spaceship was mostly made of gold, his weapon was a gold rod, he wore several gold bracelets on his forearms and ankles, and gold rings on his fingers and toes!
Hao Jiu really wanted to ask, "Why don't you just wear a set of golden armor?"
"So what's your name?" Enel wondered to himself. Could it be that there's a new type of Devil Fruit, a tiny one?
"God of Feathers!" Xiang Yu shouted.
"Pfft... Yehahaha... You little brat dare to call yourself a god? I am the god! God Enel! Roon is gone, Luffy is gone, who in this world can still be my opponent! Yehahaha..." Enel laughed wildly, extremely arrogant. Even a flying ant is still an ant, and it's easy to crush it.
This guy's tone was overwhelming, but it was blocked by an invisible barrier.
Xiang Yu frowned and asked in his mind, "God of Wine, can't we use the antidote to restore the body to its normal size?"
Hao Jiu contacted the research and development team of the Soul Technology plane, "It works, but it's not perfect yet, there are some minor flaws."
The antidote previously seized from the spaceship wasn't actually a real antidote; it was just a potion that the small and large cockroaches of Laa Star used to grow larger on other planets. It would be fine to give it directly to the small cockroaches, but it would need to be modified before it could be used on humans.
"A minor flaw?" Xiang Yu's lips twitched repeatedly, sensing that it was another trap.
"It's really a minor flaw. After taking the medication, it doesn't directly return to its original size; it just gets bigger. The more you drink, the bigger it gets. If you want it to be bigger than before, just drink more. But drinking too much might be harmful to your health."
Yu Shen can drink it in small sips, and it will feel about the same as before. He can just stop. If he wants to become a giant, he doesn't need to use this method, right?
However, the second generation of sages suggested that it would be best to let others drink the medicine first, and then let Yu Shen take it after a period of testing, just in case there were any side effects. Hao Jiu actually thought that being smaller was not a bad thing, as it would be easier to hide.
"It's alright, have one first. Anyway, I'm just a clone, if I get sick I can just switch to another body." Xiang Yu said he couldn't stand it anymore, the ant-sized size was really inconvenient.
"No problem." Hao Jiu said, then took out a bottle of beer. Well, the bottle naturally contained the antidote.
Xiang Yu took a sip and his body immediately grew larger. It was effective, but not very noticeable; his body had just shrunk to the size of two ants.
pause pause pause...
Xiang Yu downed the entire bottle in one go; it was now about the size of a peanut.
"God of Wine, is this a minor flaw?" Xiang Yu burped, saying he'd only grown this small after drinking a whole bottle.
"Ahem, Feather God, you forgot, you're only the size of an ant right now. If I gave you the whole portion, it would be like you were soaking in a lake. So I prepared a set of wine utensils for you."
"But Yu Shen, you need to be careful about showing too much skin. There might be other people on the ship, what if there's a girl or something?" Hao Jiu said, taking out an even bigger bottle.
Without saying a word, Xiang Yu started chugging straight from the bottle, downing it in one go...
Then, as his body grew larger, he also used his domineering energy to condense a set of golden armor to wear, which could grow larger as his body grew, finally solving the problem of accidental exposure.
This time, Xiang Yu was about the size of an egg. "Again!"
"Great! Yu Shen has a huge capacity for alcohol." Hao Jiu grinned and took out another large jar.
Enel stopped laughing when his face hurt, then looked down and his eyes lit up. The Feather God, who had been the size of an ant, had grown much larger and was wearing golden armor!
"Huh? You've grown bigger? And you're still drinking? That golden armor is pretty good!"
Ignoring Enel, Xiang Yu drank the entire jar of antidote, then swelled to the size of a watermelon, "Burp~"
Enel thought to himself that if things continued like this, it wouldn't be long before the other party became bigger than him. But no matter how big the other party was, he wasn't afraid, so there was no need to stop him. He could just witness this amazing scene.
"You're a Devil Fruit user? You can shrink and grow by drinking alcohol? I've never heard of that before..."
Xiang Yu waved his hand and said, "Give me the remaining half of the antidote!"
The wine jar was many times larger than Xiang Yu's body at this moment, but it was still easy to lift. The domineering energy condensed into an invisible funnel to ensure that the medicine would not be wasted.
pause pause pause...
"Burp~" Xiang Yu let out a burp, and then his body gradually grew larger, soon becoming half the size of Enel, but there was not much medicine left.
Xiang Yu simply downed the whole thing in one gulp, but he was still two heads shorter than Enel. "God of Wine, the potion isn't enough, have some more."
"Not enough? Okay." Hao Jiu was suspicious. How could it not be enough? Shouldn't we prepare more?
Of course, the effects of this medicinal wine vary from person to person, so it's not impossible that Yu Shen might need more.
So Xiang Yu took another small sip, and finally became half a head taller than Enel.
Snap snap snap...
Enel clapped his hands. "Impressive, impressive! You've even grown taller than me! With your ability to shrink and grow, you could barely call yourself a god. You can get even bigger, right? If you keep drinking this sake?"
"Yes, but there's no need," Xiang Yu pondered for a moment. "You want to drink too?"
"Hahaha, if you would be willing to give me a jar, that would be best. But before that, I would like to ask you, what do you want from me? Do you want to challenge me?" Enel picked at his ear.
"No need for a challenge. I want you to help me find someone. If you agree, I'll give you a whole jar of that medicinal wine," Xiang Yu said.
"If you want to find someone, you should go to the World Government or the Navy." Enel yawned, surprised that it was such a boring matter.
"I've tried both places, and the result of the investigation is that I'm looking for you," Xiang Yu said truthfully.
Even if Bruno were alive, he would be living in seclusion. The world is so big, he could easily find a small island to live on, not to mention his strange ability to transcend dimensions, which would make him quite difficult to find.
"So you're looking for a Devil Fruit user?" Enel's expression suddenly turned cold, and a hint of murderous intent even flashed in his eyes!
Chapter 575 A Minor Accident
"So you're looking for a Devil Fruit user?" Enel's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
"Not bad. You have a problem with that? Then let's fight first. I'll give you a three-move head start." Xiang Yu noticed Enel's change and knew that he had touched some taboo, but so what?
Just do it!
Giving him three moves was also to repay the favor of him for not interfering with me while I was drinking the medicine.
Moreover, if the opponent is killed the moment I make a move, that would be troublesome.
Enel didn't seem that strong when he was the size of a worm, but now he has a vague feeling of being invincible.
But he is Enel, the God!
"Since you're courting death, don't blame me!" Enel didn't dare to be careless and immediately used his strongest move, "200 Million Volts Thunder God!"
