Starting with Kengan beating up the Pirate King

Chapter 3 Team Up, Enter

Since being recruited as a volunteer, Guan Yi had all sorts of guesses about the secret realm she was about to enter, but she never dared to guess that it was the anime world she had watched in her previous life, One Piece.

Wait, if it's One Piece, there seems to be something wrong?
[Strategy Deduction: Become the Pirate King or Prevent the Birth of a New Pirate King]

[Map Reconstruction: According to the information already explored, the Navy's pirate secret realm is divided into four seas: east, south, west, and north, which converge in the center to form the Grand Line. The treasure of the previous Pirate King is located on an island in the Grand Line.]

Upon entering the secret realm, everyone will be randomly teleported to an island. In the first two explorations, the teleported islands were both in the East Blue. Since Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King, also set sail from an island in the East Blue, it can be inferred that the East Blue is a key region and the most powerful of the four seas (east, west, south, and north).

Guan Yi remained unfazed, saying that minor mistakes were normal and that Donghai was not the strongest, but the weakest.

[There is a pirate overlord in the East Blue named Krieg. During the first exploration, military soldiers tested Krieg's strength and assessed it to be at approximately the medium level of blue. Based on this, it is inferred that most pirates in the Grand Line are at the upper level of blue and the lower-middle level of purple, not exceeding the upper level of purple. Therefore, the conquest level is assessed as purple.]

The current pinnacle of pirate power in this secret realm is known as the 'Four Emperors,' the four greatest pirates closest to becoming the Pirate King. Explorers are advised to accumulate strength in the East Blue, diligently mastering the power within the secret realm. After defeating Krieg, they can then venture into the Grand Line to seek opportunities to understand and test the strength of the Four Emperors, thus obtaining more detailed information for future explorers.

Guan Yi frowned slightly. "You've already graduated from elementary school, can you take a look at this Millennium Puzzle?"
The power system of the secret realms combines technology and individual combat prowess. Firearms possess immense power, but individual combat skills can also be honed to the point of dodging bullets and shattering rocks with a punch; swordsmanship training is also a popular choice.

Once explorers enter the secret realm, the limits that bind our bodies will naturally be adjusted to the average level within the realm, allowing for steady improvement through training.

It is important to note that there is a miraculous fruit called the Devil Fruit in the secret realm. It is extremely rare and can grant extraordinary power to those who eat it. However, it also incurs a curse from the sea, preventing the user from coming into contact with seawater, or they will become weak.

Each person can only eat one Devil Fruit. If they can collect more than ten and distribute them to the leader, there is a chance they might defeat the Four Emperors and challenge for the Pirate King's throne... This deduction needs verification; explorers, please proceed with caution!

what?
Guan Yi almost couldn't hold back anymore.

Is this something to be cautious about?!
He quickly read down, noting the known types of Devil Fruits, the characters, factions, and islands to watch out for, and the existence of the World Government as a major background element…

It's not to say it was completely useless, but it was certainly riddled with errors. In the first two expeditions, the explorers seemed to have never even left the East Blue. Everything they knew about the Grand Line was based on deductions and what they'd read in the newspapers; they hadn't even used terms like 'New World' or 'Haki'!

Who is Krieg, this piece of trash? Why use him to assess the strength of the Four Emperors?
Yes, that's the part that's wrong!
If the Purple 605 Secret Realm is the One Piece world he knows, and Krieg can be assessed as a medium-level blue level, then the entire One Piece world should definitely not just be a Purple difficult secret realm!
Doflamingo has the power to destroy a country, let alone the Four Emperors and the Admirals, whose power is like natural disasters. Their power cannot be described as 'shattering rocks and breaking rivers'.

It should at least be a red inferno.

Even the Golden Legend!
Intelligence analysts should be court-martialed!
The initial excitement of discovering that the secret realm was from the One Piece world faded slightly.

The world of One Piece is not easy to navigate.

Guan Yi calmed himself down and began reading more carefully. Although more than half of the information in the document deviated from his understanding, at least in the East China Sea, some of the content was of value.

Two rounds of exploration, with two hundred explorers randomly teleporting within the East China Sea, covering almost half of the islands in the East China Sea, while the number of East China Sea islands mentioned in the anime is only a handful.

The characteristics and events associated with these islands are key points that Guan Yi needs to remember.

Time passed slowly, and the military vehicle carrying the four of them unknowingly joined up with other vehicles and led the way out of Tiger City.

As the pervasive fog enveloped the vehicle, the four people who had been quietly reading intelligence for an hour and a half all looked up at the same time.

"Have you seen everything?" the soldier driving the vehicle asked at the opportune moment. "We'll be arriving at the entrance to the secret realm in a bit. Is there anything you'd like to ask?"

The four men exchanged glances. The weathered-looking Zhang Sangu was the first to ask, "Sir, this secret realm... it seems like being a pirate is a common profession. If we become pirates, we might engage in plundering, or even murder and arson. Will we be held accountable after leaving the secret realm?"

"Uncle, that's a scary question. Murder and arson..." Jiang Xue's face paled slightly as she said, "Sir, are all the pirates in the secret realm... brutal? What if we get caught by them..."

"Don't call me sir, my name is Long Qi."

“Yes, the ending won’t be good, and female explorers need to be extra cautious,” Long Qi said. “As for the first question, the answer can only be ‘moderation.’ In the secret realm, we will sometimes encounter unavoidable events, battles, and casualties, but we must not treat the secret realm as a game, indulging our inner darkness and filth, or slaughtering ordinary people.”

If discovered, they will be quarantined and imprisoned after leaving the secret realm.

Zhang San smiled and said, "I understand, sir. I was just asking."

Long Qi stopped correcting them and looked at Guan Yi and Ye Huohuo through the rearview mirror.

"what about you?"

"I'm fine!" Ye Huohuo seemed impatient to enter the secret realm and show off his skills.

Guan Yi thought for a moment and then asked, "If I defeat the pirate tyrant Krieg in the secret realm, can I obtain the secret rune when I leave the secret realm?"

"Yes, although you can only obtain white secret runes, it is enough to raise an ordinary person to the level of a one-rune martial artist, with a punching power of nearly a thousand pounds and a distance of 100 meters in under nine seconds, thus initially transcending the realm of ordinary people."

Guan Yi nodded slightly, having a general idea of ​​how to obtain runes by conquering secret realms—by possessing a certain level of strength and performing events with a certain influence, one could obtain runes as a reward.

But a single-striped martial artist is far from enough.

Zhang Sangu sighed, "Young people really do have drive. 'East Blue Pirate Overlord,' 'Blue-level mid-tier strength,' sounds like someone not to be trifled with." Jiang Xue tossed a strand of hair and chimed in, "Young Brother Guan isn't old, but he's got quite the guts..."

"Any other questions?" Long Qi asked again, "Then please listen carefully to the additional precautions for exploring the secret realm."

The four of them instantly focused their attention.

"First of all, there are a total of 99 people in this Purple 605 Secret Realm exploration, including three team leaders and 96 exploration volunteers, divided into 19 groups of four people each."

The four looked at each other, and Long Qi nodded and said, "You are the first group. I wish you all the best in this exploration of the secret realm."

Later, the four of you will enter the secret realm passage at the same time, so the teleportation area will be slightly closer. If you encounter each other in the secret realm, you must look after one another and not kill your fellow countrymen without cause.

Unexplained? Guan Yi caught the ambiguity of the word, but wasn't surprised.

When fellow villagers meet, they stab each other in the back.

An unfamiliar world, conflicts of interest.

This is perfectly normal.

"Second, remember this address: No. 407, Loguetown, East Sea. The three team leaders will acquire ownership of this residence as quickly as possible. After you have been in the secret realm for a month, if you have found a place to establish yourself, you can send a letter to this address to complete the construction of the explorer intelligence network. It would be even better if you could carry your own Den Den Mushi number."

Every piece of useful intelligence will be converted into money and benefits after the exploration of the secret realm, and distributed among you and your loved ones. I believe you were aware of this before signing up to become volunteers.

"But remember this!"

At this point, he suddenly raised his voice and said in a low voice, "Do not reveal any words about our world in the letter, and do not reveal anything in your communication with the people in the secret realm!"

If you violate this rule, a sudden disaster will strike within the secret realm and wipe you out—you will surely die!

"What does the Main God Space feel like?" Guan Yi thought to himself.

Jiang Xue: "Disaster? What is it?"

"Who knows? Heavenly lightning? Man-made disaster? You just need to remember this." Long Qi shook his head and said, "The secret realm is sentient, otherwise it wouldn't have given us secret rune rewards after we conquered it."

At the same time, the greatest advantage the secret realm will offer is that we won't have to worry about language barriers. Once inside, you will naturally be able to hear and speak the realm's language.

"Finally, and most importantly," Long Qi slammed on the brakes, turned around, and said, "Living, coming back alive, is more important than anything else!"

We've arrived at the entrance to the secret realm.

He opened the car door and got out, then opened the car door for Guan Yi and the other three, gesturing for them to get out as well.

The other transport vehicles were lined up behind theirs, and no one got out. When Guan Yi got out, he saw that even the windshield of the vehicle behind them was covered with a thin film, so he couldn't see what was inside or the people inside.

Are we going to wait until we enter the secret realm before the second group of explorers get off the vehicle? Are they being so cautious that, apart from those in their own group, the explorers don't even know what each other looks like?

Oh, my dad is a demon.

Being cautious is the right thing to do.

Guan Yi felt he could understand everything now. He turned around and looked back, a hint of amazement in his expression.

A golden light shone in the sky.

Under this golden light, the mist was as fragile as silk, easily melted away. A colossal vortex, its boundaries immeasurable by the naked eye, swirled and appeared, its edges flowing with fiery runes like liquid flames!

"That's the secret realm passage!" Long Qi announced loudly, "First exploration team, set off!"

Ye Huohuo was filled with excitement as she strode forward.

Jiang Xue's face was bitter as she slowly moved towards the passage. Zhang Sangu walked to her left, a faint, enigmatic smile playing on his lips. Guan Yi walked to her right, his expression serious and solemn.

The four entered the secret passage one after the other. Finally, a tall, thin soldier got out of the driver's seat of the second military vehicle, walked over and said with a smile, "How is it, Long Qi, these four people in the first group?"

"Please call me team leader, or deputy team leader Zhou."

"Alright, alright, team leader. You still haven't answered me. What do you think of these four people?"

"Similar to background checks, none of them are easy," Long Qi said. "But exploring secret realms also depends on luck, so hopefully they'll get something out of it."
