Zongman: Pan-dimensional sign-in system

With this in mind, Shangguan Wen began to quietly plan his own path of cultivation. He knew that to gain a foothold in the Collapsed World, he must continuously improve his strength. The Herrscher of Consciousness core would undoubtedly be a significant aid in his cultivation.

Shangguan Wen, after a busy schedule dealing with the complexities of conquering the new world, finally found a moment's respite. He knew that as a cross-world conqueror, every decision affected the fate and future of countless worlds. Therefore, despite a deep longing for the unknown and challenging new world, he decided to return to the main world to gather his thoughts and plan his next move more carefully.

During his brief stay in the main world (Shadow Power), Shangguan Wen not only replanned the strategic blueprint but also personally visited various key departments to ensure that everything was under his control. He knew that only by stabilizing the rear could he charge fearlessly on the front lines.

However, Shangguan Wen's heart remained fixed on the world of Frontier No. 01 (Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion), which he had personally created. There, he held his original dreams and perseverance, as well as countless companions who had fought alongside him. So, after making all necessary arrangements, he once again embarked on a journey to Frontier No. 01.

The world of Frontier No. 01, this once barren land, has now become full of vitality under the leadership of Shangguan Wen.

Our strength is no longer limited to Earth. We have already established a colony on the moon, and the next step is to explore Mars.

Shangguan Wen then made a decision - to return to the first different world he traveled to - One Piece.

That world, filled with passion and adventure, held beauties I'd admired since childhood, and the team I'd once fantasized about joining. When Shangguan Wen once again stood before that familiar bronze door, his heart was filled with anticipation and excitement. He took a deep breath and said firmly to the system, "System, I want to return to the One Piece world." [Ding Dong, received, the portal is opening.]

As the system responded, a huge bronze door slowly opened, revealing the passage to the world of One Piece.

Shangguan Wen stepped directly into the bronze door without any hesitation, and his figure instantly disappeared in the light behind the door.

When Shangguan Wen appeared again, he had returned to the stronghold he conquered in the One Piece world - Onigashima, the territory of the Beasts Pirates.

At this moment, he was hovering above the sky of Onigashima, overlooking this familiar land. His arrival seemed to bring an invisible force to this land, making everyone feel his presence. At this moment, a huge blue dragon suddenly flew out from the ground, hovering in mid-air, emitting a deafening dragon roar.

This blue dragon is none other than Shangguan Wen’s right-hand man in the One Piece world—Kaido.

When Kaido sensed Shangguan Wen's presence on Onigashima and saw Shangguan Wen's figure in the sky, a flash of surprise and excitement flashed in his eyes, and then he let out his signature laugh:

".Ha! I knew you'd come back and give me a good fight!"

Before he finished speaking, Kaido's body suddenly changed in mid-air, instantly transforming into a powerful dragon-man. He picked up his mace and was about to start a fierce battle with Shangguan Wen.

Shangguan Wen smiled upon seeing this. He knew that the battle with Kaido would test his growth during this period and deepen their friendship and trust.

"Okay, I was just thinking of fighting my dear father-in-law to see if your strength has diminished."

As Shangguan Wen spoke, a feather slowly appeared in his hand. With a gentle wave of his hand, the feather instantly transformed into an extremely sharp sword, meeting Kaido's mace.

In the sky, two figures collided violently, with lightning and thunder, instantly attracting the attention of everyone on Onigashima and the nearby Inazuma Island.

They all looked up at the sky and witnessed this heart-stirring confrontation. The battle between Shangguan Wen and Kaido seemed to have become a beautiful landscape in the world of One Piece, shocking and amazed everyone.

In this battle, Shangguan Wen displayed the immense strength and combat skills he had accumulated over time. He wielded his sword swiftly against Kaido's mace, each collision producing a deafening sound that seemed to tear the sky apart.

Kaido was not to be outdone. Relying on the powerful strength of his dragon form, he engaged in a fierce battle with Shangguan Wen.

As time went on, the battle between the two became more intense, sometimes they rolled and jumped in the air, sometimes they dived to launch a fierce attack on the ground.

Every encounter was terrifying, as if the whole world was trembling because of their battle.

Chapter 213 Kaido's Second Defeat

"Hahaha, boy, that's great, great! Keep attacking. I won't leave scars of defeat on your chest like I did during our first fight. That would only be an insult to me!"

Kaido laughed wildly, his muscles bulging in the battle, as if every inch of his skin contained infinite power. His eyes were like burning flames, flashing with an endless desire for battle.

Shangguan Wen couldn't help but shake his head at his bellicose father-in-law, a complex smile curling his lips. "Tsk tsk, you're quite stubborn, Kaido. Well, I'll satisfy you. But, don't blame me for not showing mercy while you're lying in bed."

Shangguan Wen's words carried a hint of helplessness, yet also revealed his seriousness in taking this battle. The atmosphere between the two suddenly grew tense, as if the very air itself were frozen by this overwhelming fighting spirit. Shangguan Wen moved, appearing before Kaido in an instant like a flash of black lightning. His fist, swirling with a powerful wind, blasted towards Kaido's chest with a whistling sound.

Kaido snorted coldly, neither dodging nor evading. He crossed his arms over his chest and took Shangguan Wen's blow head-on. The clash of sword and club made a dull thud, and the air around them seemed to be ripped apart by the force. Yet, Kaido remained unfazed, his arrogant smile still plastered on his face.

"Is this all you can do? Shangguan Wen, please don't let me down."

Kaido taunted, his words carrying a hint of provocation. Shangguan Wen's eyes glared. During his absence, Kaido Laodeng had spent a lot of time practicing his skills. His previous strength needed to be strengthened. His figure transformed into a black shadow again, launching a fierce attack towards Kaido.

After Shangguan Wenjia precisely adjusted his strength, Kaido's mountain-like body retreated section by section in mid-air like a kite with a broken string.

Every collision seemed to shake his beloved Hachijo out of his tightly clenched hands. The feeling of being out of control made Kaido feel an unprecedented fear in his heart.

Shangguan Wen's eyes were calm and determined. He chose the right moment, and at the moment when Kaido was distracted by surprise, his fist suddenly hit Kaido's chest like the dawn.

This strike concentrated all his strength, as if he wanted to pour out all his resentment and anger. BANG!!!

A deafening roar echoed in the air, as if even the heavens and the earth were shaken by this blow. Behind Kaido, white fist marks flashed like lightning, which were the marks left by the power of Shangguan Wen's fist in his body.

Inside Kaido's body, his internal organs suffered varying degrees of damage from the violent shock. The pain surged like a tide, causing him to roll his eyes involuntarily and almost faint.

However, at this critical moment of life and death, Kaido's mind suddenly emerged with a series of past events.

He recalled his glorious days as the former captain of the Beasts Pirates, the days when he fought alongside his companions, and the times when he constantly strived for his own ambitions.

He couldn't lose to a brat like that. He couldn't let his glory and belief go to waste here.

So, he tried his best to spit out the blood, his bloodshot eyes flashing with a determined red light. The domineering aura within his body surged out once again, as if to shroud the entire world in his majesty.

"This time, I won't lose again!"

Kaido's voice was deep and powerful, and every word seemed to contain a great force.

"Kid, I'm not the same person I was three years ago. I've gone through countless battles and trials, and my strength is no longer what it used to be."

However, before he could finish his words, a massive hand, obscuring the heavens and the sun, descended from the sky, bearing down on him like the wrath of a god. The power contained within that hand seemed to compress the entire space into pieces.

"Noisy!"

Shangguan Wen spat out two words coldly, his eyes full of disdain and ridicule.

"Look at my Tathagata Palm (fake)!"

At that moment, Kaido felt as if he were locked in place by an invisible force, unable to move an inch. He could only watch helplessly as that giant hand slapped him from the sky, mercilessly dropping him like a fallen leaf into the sea surrounding Inazuma.

boom! ! !

With a loud bang, the sea surface erupted into a raging wave. Like a raging dragon emerging from the sea, the huge wave ravaged everything around it, as if it was about to swallow up the entire world. Countless people watching this scene simultaneously had a unanimous thought:

Kaido lost again after three years.

This blow not only completely deprived Kaido of his ability to fight, but also dealt an unprecedented blow to his heart.

He lay in the cold sea water, watching the dark clouds and sunshine gradually dissipating in the sky, his heart filled with despair and confusion. He had lost for the second time, and the loss was even more miserable than the last time. Last time it was a fierce battle of a day and a night, and Shangguan Wen had awakened his fruit ability. But now the opponent was suppressing him without even awakening. How big was the gap in strength? Kaido couldn't even imagine it.

He didn't know what to do next, and he didn't know if he still had the ability to stand up again.

Shangguan Wen stood in the sky, his eyes devoid of any sympathy or mercy. A thorn like Kaido must be taught a lesson again and again, otherwise he would think of taking charge the moment he gets the chance.

Ghost Island.

Jin and Quinn stood side by side, their gaze fixed on Kaido, who lay collapsed in the sea. Jack and other officers also gathered around, their faces showing varying expressions, all of which revealed their shock at the battle.

Quinn took a deep drag on the cigar in his hand. His voice was heavy amidst the smoke.

"This is the second time that Boss Kaido has lost after all his hard training. Moreover, this time, Captain Shangguan didn't even use his Animal Awakening. You can imagine how much of a blow this was to Boss Kaido."

As Quinn finished speaking, there was silence all around. Only the sound of waves coming from the distant sea seemed to be telling of the cruelty of this battle.

Jin nodded silently, his gaze deep, as if he could penetrate the sea surface and see Kaido lying on the bottom of the sea. At that moment, his heart was also filled with complex emotions.

"Captain Shangguan's strength is certainly a good thing for the Beasts Pirates."

Jin spoke slowly, his voice deep and powerful. "But in some ways, it's also a bad thing. He disrupted the current Four Emperors' structure and made the Beasts Pirates a target of public criticism. Even though we've restrained our fangs and bided our time during Captain Shangguan's absence for three years, we're still closely watched by the other Four Emperors and the Navy Headquarters."

Quinn couldn't help but frowned when he heard this:

"Yes, this is indeed a problem. Captain Shangguan is too powerful. His presence has made the Beasts Pirates' position at sea extremely awkward. The other Four Emperors and the Navy Headquarters are all watching covetously. If we are not careful, we may fall into an irretrievable situation."

At this point, Quinn couldn't help but sigh. He looked out at the sea in the distance, his eyes filled with worry. Jin was also silent. He thought of the Rocks Pirates, where Kaido used to be a member. The Beasts Pirates, where Shangguan Wen was currently, were similar to the Rocks Pirates back then.

At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps broke the silence. A member of the Beasts Pirates hurried over, a look of fear on his face.

"Master Jin, Master Quinn, Boss Kaido... Boss Kaido..."

Jin and Quinn's hearts suddenly tightened. They looked at the crew member at the same time, waiting for his next words. The crew member swallowed his saliva and continued, "Boss Kaido... after being salvaged by the fleet, he didn't say a word."

Quinn and Jin looked at each other, and Boss Kaido was furious.

"It's okay, Boss Kaido is not a fragile person. Just wait until he figures it out. Also, prepare a dinner for Captain Shangguan when he returns."

"Yes, sirs."

Chapter 214: Naval Response, Charlotte

Ever since Shangguan Wen joined the Beasts Pirates and the last great war, the entire ocean landscape has quietly shifted. Like a giant beast awakening, they've put unprecedented pressure on the other Four Emperors and the Marine Headquarters.

Especially when the news came out that Captain Shangguan Wen and Vice Captain Kaido started a fierce battle again after three years, the entire pirate world and the Navy Headquarters were shocked.

When the battle began, spies stationed in Inazuma by various forces had already been lurking around. They were holding high-end cameras, with greed and expectation flashing in their eyes, ready to record this battle that would go down in history.

However, what many people did not expect was that this imperial-level battle, which was supposed to last for several days and nights to determine the winner, ended in just two hours after Shangguan Wen started the battle.

Even more shocking was that Shangguan Wen defeated Kaido with overwhelming advantage without even using the awakened power of his mythical beast, Shadow Moon Wolf (the dog god with the black blade of the God-Slayer). This scene left everyone present dumbfounded, secretly marveling at Shangguan Wen's terrifying strength.

Recalling that thrilling battle three years ago, and looking at him now, whether it was strength, speed, or combat skills, they had all made a qualitative leap. Each of his attacks was like a torrential downpour, impossible to resist; each of his evasions was like a ghost, unpredictable. Shangguan Wen had undoubtedly reached the pinnacle of the pirate world.

Many older generation navy or pirates thought of one person at the same time, that is Rocks!

An emergency meeting was underway at Naval Headquarters. The lights were dim and the atmosphere was solemn. Brannu, the meeting king, stood at the podium, his voice clearly heard through the loudspeaker. He immediately informed his colleagues of the battle situation at Inazuma in the New World.

Shock and uneasiness were written on everyone's face, as they knew that this battle meant much more than that.

Admiral Zhan Guo sat in the main seat, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, but he had no time to taste it. He put down the teacup and sighed:

"That bastard Kaido often comes to the headquarters to act wild, but I never thought he would lose to the same person twice, and each time more miserably than the last. The strength of the little brat Shangguan Wen has become even stronger than three years ago."

His tone held a hint of helplessness and regret, as if he too was worried about the future of the Navy. Admiral Sakaski, sitting on the other side of Zhan Guo, had an even more complex expression. He clutched Shangguan Wen's wanted poster tightly in his hand. The paper, printed with Shangguan Wen's portrait and the reward amount, was now ignited, transforming into a blazing flame. Sakaski would never forget the humiliation and frustration of that battle three years ago. While his strength had improved significantly over the past three years, Shangguan Wen's growth had been even more astonishing. Even he himself couldn't guarantee his chances of winning this time around.

“Young people today are terrible.”

Borsalino muttered to himself. His eyes gleamed with determination, as if he had made some kind of resolution. He turned to look at Zhan Guo and said:

"Marshal, should we request tactical guidance from the World Government? The chances of victory are too slim with the current navy alone."

Zhan Guo frowned upon hearing this. He knew Borsalino's concerns were not unfounded. Facing formidable foes like Shangguan Wen and the Beasts Pirates, the Navy truly needed more support and assistance.

However, requesting tactical guidance from the World Government would mean giving up some autonomy, a difficult choice for the Navy. "This issue requires careful consideration."

Zhan Guo said slowly

"But no matter what, we can't just sit there and wait for death. We must quickly formulate a response plan to ensure the dignity of the Navy and the peace of the sea." The meeting continued, and everyone was making plans for the future of the Navy. In this turbulent era, Shangguan Wen and the Beasts Pirates undoubtedly posed a huge threat to the entire pirate world and the Navy Headquarters.

----split line----

Kingdom of Totland

In the magnificent and dreamlike palace of the Kingdom of Totland, Charlotte Lingling was sitting at a huge dining table made of pure gold. The table was filled with various desserts and delicacies, emitting an enticing aroma.

Her broad face was filled with satisfaction and joy as she ate with big mouthfuls, as if she wanted to swallow all her troubles along with the food.

The atmosphere within the palace was initially tranquil and peaceful, but this tranquility was soon shattered by the sound of hurried footsteps. Charlotte Linlin's son, Katakuri, entered the palace with a solemn expression. His steps were steady and powerful, each one seeming to foretell the approaching storm.

"Mom, I have some news..."

There was a hint of hesitation in Katakuri's words, as he knew very well that this news might cause a strong reaction from his mother.

Charlotte Linlin stopped what she was doing and looked up at Katakuri. Her eyes, full of wisdom and cunning, moved rapidly in her sockets, as if she was planning some hidden plan.

"Tell me, what's the big fuss?"

Her voice was deep and powerful, revealing unquestionable majesty.

"Kaido...he lost to Shangguan Wen again." Katakuri finally revealed the shocking news. His voice was calm, but his heart was surging like a raging sea.

But Katakuri knew what this news meant to his mother.

Upon hearing this, Charlotte Lingling's cake trembled violently, then slid weakly onto the table. A flash of surprise and resentment crossed her face, but was quickly replaced by anger.

"What? That Kaido guy lost again? How could he be so useless!?"

She slammed the table angrily, making the cutlery clatter.

"I don't know why Kaido-san didn't join me in rebelling against Shangguan Wen three years ago, instead pledging allegiance to that brat. Could he be his so-called son-in-law? (▽～) Tsk~~" Charlotte Linlin sneered, her eyes flickering with complex emotions. She was both jealous and angry, jealous that Kaido had such a powerful son-in-law, and furious that he hadn't been able to bring down Shangguan Wen.

Katakuri remained silent. He knew his mother well. She called them family, but in reality, she had killed countless women, sons-in-law, and sons. In this world where power and desire intertwined, family ties had long since become blurred.

Yamato is Kaido's only daughter, the apple of his eye. Her husband, Shangguan Wen, is even more powerful, possessing the strength of an emperor. Against this backdrop, Kaido's decision to stay and help Shangguan Wen is undoubtedly a wise one. After all, in this world where the strong reign supreme, strength is everything. Seeing Katakuri's silence, Charlotte Linlin's rage intensified.

"Katakuri, tell me, if I marry Shangguan Wen, will he give me more potions to restore my youth?"

There was a hint of urgency and anticipation in her tone, as if she had grasped at the last straw.

Katakuri couldn't help but feel a surge of anger and sorrow at hearing this. He clenched his palms, his nails digging deep into his flesh, the pain sobering him up a bit.

He looked at his mother, the woman who had once given him life and shelter, and now treated her own daughter and sister as commodities. This made him feel extremely sad and desperate.

"Mom, how can you say such things?" There was a slight tremor in Katakuri's voice, and his eyes were full of pain and confusion.
