Uchiha Puppet Master, Starting from One Piece

Bai Yu thought for a moment and nodded: "Alright, since we're already here, let's see what the film and television industry in this dream city is like."

The group squeezed into the crowd with the flow of people, and the theater doors slowly opened, letting out a dazzling light.

Amid cheers from the crowd, a beautiful woman in a white dress slowly walked out.

She had long green hair and exquisite features that made her look like she stepped out of a painting, but Bai Yu's eyes narrowed slightly for a moment.

Because he saw a black collar around the woman's neck, with a pattern engraved on it: a black eye.

Uchiha Shiraha could sense that the actress named Alicia was emanating an extremely unstable aura, which looked like the traces left after drugs or some kind of control were used to forcibly stimulate her body.

The black collar was less of a decoration and more of a sophisticated control device.

Uchiha Shiraha withdrew his gaze, his tone calm yet tinged with a chill: "The dream of this city is probably built on the suffering of others. We are truly lucky to have stumbled upon such an interesting thing as soon as we arrived."

"That kind of collar..."

Nico Robin squinted, her fingers gently resting on her chin.

"I seem to have heard somewhere that it is a symbol of slavery that circulated only among nobles. It is said that through special locks and drug injections, the wearer is completely rendered incapable of resistance."

"That's too much!"

Upon hearing this, Matsumoto Rangiku clenched her fists. She was cheerful and outgoing and couldn't stand such bullying of the weak.

"To do this in broad daylight, are the laws here just for show?"

"In this city, movies may be the law, and box office revenue may be the truth. Ordinary people can just immerse themselves in the joy of movies."

Uchiha Hakuba spoke up.

"Maybe as long as a blockbuster movie can be made, no one will care what the actors have sacrificed or how they have been tortured."

Just then, Alicia walked to the center of the stage and raised the microphone.

The previously noisy crowd instantly fell silent, everyone holding their breath, eagerly awaiting the goddess's words.

However, Alicia did not sing; her body suddenly began to tremble violently, and her face turned as pale as paper.

"Um…"

She let out a shy groan, gripping the microphone stand tightly with both hands, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

The fans in the audience didn't notice anything amiss; instead, they erupted in enthusiastic applause: "Wow! Alicia's acting is getting better and better!"

"Is this the legendary immersive performance? It's amazing!"

"It's vibrating; this guy behind the scenes is playing some pretty clever tricks..."

Bai Yu was speechless; he had already guessed what had happened.

"It seems the controller is nearby."

Uchiha Hakuba activated his perception mode, instantly covering the entire theater area.

On a tall building across from the theater, he sensed a guy holding a remote control and looking in his direction through binoculars.

"Rangiku, Robin, you and Connor enjoy the show."

Uchiha Hakuba suddenly spoke.

"Huh? What are you going to do, Bai Yu?" Connor asked, his mouth still full of potato chips he had just bought.

"I'm going to pay a visit to that director who's hiding in the shadows."

Uchiha Hakuba suddenly stood up: "I'll be back soon."

Before he finished speaking, he had already turned into a black afterimage and disappeared into the crowd in an instant.

"Still so fast?" Robin was slightly surprised, then smiled helplessly.

It seems we have no choice but to wait for him here.

Meanwhile, on the top floor of the high-rise building opposite the theater.

A man in a black suit, wearing a monocle, is using binoculars to look into a shoe, while holding a remote control in his hand.

"Hmph, Alicia, the more pain you feel, the more you struggle! That'll make the audience go crazy for you and want to see you perform a fountain show on stage!"

The man had a sickly excitement on his face, his fingers constantly pressing the buttons on the remote control.

"Really? You have a really twisted sense of humor."

Suddenly, a cold voice rang out behind him.

The man turned around abruptly and saw Uchiha Shiraha standing behind him, toying with a hidden weapon in his hand, looking at him indifferently.

"Who are you?! When did you get behind me?!" the man shouted in terror, instinctively reaching for the weapon at his waist.

Who I am is not important.

Uchiha Hakuha walked towards him step by step, each step feeling as if he were stepping on the man's heart.

"The important thing is that what you just did really upset me."

"You...you're a fan of Alicia? Trying to be a hero and save the damsel in distress? Hahahaha!"

The man suddenly burst into maniacal laughter: "In Balleywood, this is illegal! You'll be punished!"

"Illegal?"

Bai Yu sneered and his figure vanished instantly.

"puff!"

The man felt a numbness in his wrist, and the remote control in his hand had vanished.

When he came to his senses, Bai Yu had already crushed the remote control with one hand, and the fragments were scattered all over the ground.

"You...do you know who I am? I'm the vice president of the Hollywood Film Association! You're dead!"

The man roared, his voice filled with bravado but his heart was filled with fear.

"Vice President?"

Uchiha Hakuba raised an eyebrow slightly, and the three tomoe in his eyes began to rotate: "Ordinary Sharingan will do, saving me the trouble of searching for them one by one."

In an instant, the world changed color.

In the man's perception, everything around him disappeared, replaced by a blood-red world.

He was horrified to find himself tied to a huge chair, while Bai Yu stood there with a knife, staring at him expressionlessly.

"Where...is this?!" The man trembled with fear.

"Although it's a replica, it looks pretty good."

Uchiha Hakuba's voice echoed in the void.

In the world of illusion, time passes slowly, but the man's spirit has already collapsed.

"I'll talk... I'll talk..."

The man knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly.

"I've only heard about it from others..."

After listening, Uchiha Shiraha gave him a cold look, then turned and walked towards the door.

"Keeping this kind of scum around is just a waste of air."

He snapped his fingers lightly.

A few seconds later, all that was left was a pile of ashes.

At this moment, Alicia, who had lost control of the signal, had returned to normal. Although she was still weak and her lower abdomen was still uncomfortable, there was a hint of relief in her eyes.

She bowed slightly to the audience below the stage, and then was escorted backstage by staff amidst cheers.

"Is the matter resolved?"

Upon seeing Uchiha Hakuha return, Nico Robin asked him gently.

"Of course, no one can disturb our good mood while watching the movie now!"
