Chapter 1363: The Birth Area of Designated Devil Fruits!
That night.
Starting with "See You at the Duel Arena," several famous performers invited by the Competition Organizing Department took the stage one after another.
Maria Napoleon, the top female singer from Fish-Man Island, delivered a perfect coloratura soprano performance that left the entire audience mesmerized.
This also let people from the Demon Slayer World and the Nuclear World know that the Sea Star World also had classical musicians.
So, could they also try applying to perform on stage at the next opening ceremony?
They couldn't win in combat, which was unavoidable, but song and dance might be a different story.
Next up was Queen, who brought an extremely catchy song and dance.
Although the lyrics were overly direct, the music pace was very lively.
Coupled with his round physique, his dancing was highly comical, instantly pushing the entire atmosphere to its peak.
Many audience members in the ground stands subconsciously stood up and danced along, cheering and screaming loudly for Queen.
The entire Myriad Worlds Duel Arena, illuminated by colorful lights, seemed to transform into a giant rave nightspot.
"This person is so interesting!"
Little Ace, lying on Prometheus's flame, watched Queen below with sparkling eyes.
He was already flushed with excitement at this moment.
Charlotte Linlin grinned and laughed, "Mamamama~~, I remember he was Kaido's subordinate back then. I didn't expect him to be able to sing and dance."
Yamato couldn't help but laugh, "When we were on Onigashima, Queen often threw parties for everyone. Although father found it a bit noisy, he still let him do it."
"But I didn't expect that even though he's already a researcher at the Biochemical Research Institute, he would still come running onto the stage. He really is passionate about it."
Charlotte Linlin tilted her head back and laughed heartily, "Mamamama~~, the World Government did a really good job with this event. Look, everyone is smiling!"
From her position in the Colored Cloud Box, she scanned the audience members in the ground stands below, who were all in high spirits, fully enjoying the song and dance.
Among these people were humans, Fish-Man Tribe members, Mink Tribe members, as well as Giant Tribe members, Tontatta Tribe members, Snake-Neck Tribe members, Longarm Tribe members...
She truly loved this scene. Compared to Queen's performance, this was the most beautiful sight!
Her dream was to have all races in the whole world live together without distinction of status, for all races to become family, and for their size to become as large as hers, sitting around a table as equals to dine.
Now the World Government had helped her achieve it!
Although they hadn't made everyone as tall as her in terms of size.
They had achieved a similar effect by making giants like herself smaller through the Shrinking Tunnel.
"Yes, everyone is so happy, A-Ling. I really like the World Government, they are truly amazing!"
Little Ace turned his head to look at Charlotte Linlin and Yamato and grinned.
"I must protect this world well, and protect all these smiles!"
Yamato raised her chin and said proudly:
"You should grow up first. Before that, my father will protect it well. He is Admiral Azure Dragon!"
"And in a few years, I will also become a military admiral and defeat all the World Government's enemies!"
Six-year-old Ace was stunned, muttering to himself, "Admiral..."
Figures like Tsuru, Garp, Sengoku, Kuzan, Borsalino, Sakazuki, and others appeared in his mind.
The Coat of Justice draped over their shoulders caused Ace's gaze to quietly change.
Finally, he even imagined himself as an adult, wearing a Coat of Justice and standing alongside these respected elders.
"That's right, to protect this world, I must become an admiral!"
A strong feeling of delight instantly surged in Ace's heart. He felt he had found his life goal.
"A-Ling, Yamato, I want to become an admiral!!!"
At the same time, Ace shouted in his heart, deciding to tell his mama about this decision when he got home.
He believed his mama would definitely be happy for him.
After all, an admiral is definitely an incredible person...
"Hmph, you're so weak, how could you possibly become an admiral? I'm the one who will be an admiral!" Yamato scoffed.
Ace was unconvinced, raising his fist and shouting, "I will become stronger!"
"Hahaha, you should catch up to me first!"
"You don't need to remind me, I will definitely catch up to you and be stronger than you!"
Charlotte Linlin watched the two little ones quarrel gently.
She also began to think, should she do something as well?
Meanwhile.
Im, who was unaware of the significant impact this opening ceremony had on many people, was also watching the song and dance performance on Noah's Ark with interest.
Both Queen's song and dance and Brook's rock music gave him a feeling that was both strange and familiar.
Especially Brook's current song, "New World."
Im hoped that the Sea Star World could produce more songs that were familiar to him.
However, he didn't need to do this himself.
He had already gained control over the Sea Star World's 'Star Fate' and 'Star Luck'.
He could completely connect with the Sea Star World's Will and transmit the songs he had heard before crossing over.
He could let the Will transform them into subtle information, inputting them into the minds of suitable people, turning them into their creative inspiration.
In fact, Im had already tried it.
On the Myriad Worlds Duel Arena, as Brook finished his performance, Stella's hosting voice sounded again.
"Next will be the final song of this opening ceremony!"
"Brought to you by our Sea Star World's superstar, Gild Tesoro, performing his original song, 'Highest Reaching Point'!"
Instantly.
Everyone witnessed the center of the arena being visibly and rapidly dyed with a brilliant golden light, area by area.
When beams of light shone upon it, the entire stadium instantly glittered with golden light.
[Boom————]
At this moment, a wave of golden water erupted from the ground.
Tesoro, dressed in a magnificent outfit and holding a golden microphone inlaid with jewels, rose from within it.
He looked up and scanned the surging crowd of audience members throughout the stadium, his eyes filled with delight and excitement.
This was the world-class stage he had always anticipated!
The intro music began.
Tesoro's singing followed closely.
"I, who treat cowardice as a partner, will fly higher than anyone else..."
"If I stop here, the things I've lost will no longer shine..."
Im listened with great pleasure on Noah's Ark.
Because Tesoro and this song had proven that his experiment was successful.
His idea could indeed influence the Sea Star World's Will.
So, could he go a step further?
For example, could he make the Sea Star World's Will follow his requirement?
To have all Devil Fruits be born in the designated area he specified, rather than randomly?
Just like the Inu Inu no Mi, Jackal Form, and the Bird-Bird Fruit, Falcon Form, no matter where the ability user died, they would eventually appear within Alabasta.
Im thought about this matter while listening to Tesoro's singing.
If it were possible, it would mean the World Government would monopolize Devil Fruits.
The only drawback was... this would make the Sea Star World boring.
Perhaps some people wouldn't care, but Im placed great importance on this issue.
This was a characteristic of the Sea Star World!
Of course, the Giant World and the Imperial Arms World also had them now.
Im then thought, he could designate some important Devil Fruits.
For example, Mythical Zoan, Logia System, and individual Paramecia System Fruits.
The World Government only needed to control these Devil Fruits.
The next step was to conduct an experiment to see if it could succeed.
The process was simple: first, he would designate an area, then place a certain amount of fruit within it.
Next, he would find an ability user prisoner from Impel Down and perform an execution.
After they died, he would have people search the area...
"Stussy."
Thinking of it, Im looked up, habitually looking for her.
Historia gently reminded him, "Husband, Stussy hasn't returned yet."
"Mm."
Im nodded, thinking that after the opening ceremony ended, he would return to the Sea Star World to 'tell' the Sea Star World's Will his idea.
It was just that the Sea Star World's Will seemed to lack a high level of self-awareness.
It couldn't give him a clear response at all, let alone communication.
So, he could only judge by the result, just like the song Tesoro was singing now.
Im couldn't say whether this was a good thing or a bad thing...
