Chapter 1 Five years

"Baby ho ho, ho~"

The year 1509 of the sea calendar.

Cheerful singing emanates from the taverns of Windmill Village, accompanied by a cacophony of boisterous and clashing glasses.

"Shanks! Shanks!"

Luffy, who was wearing white short sleeves, shouted angrily, but the noisy singing instantly overpowered Luffy's shout.

"Ahahahaha!"

Red-haired Shanks was holding a wine glass and slamming the table hard.

"Humph!"

Looking at Shanks, who didn't care about him, Luffy angrily walked outside the tavern.

Before leaving, he looked at it almost and kicked Shanks on the rickety bench.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, the drunken Shanks instantly fell to the ground, like an overturned turtle, with his limbs facing up, still holding a wine glass in his hand.

"Omitted~"

Luffy grimaced, stretched his face, and without waiting for Shanks to react, he quickly ran towards the outside of the tavern.

The huge movement, the ugly appearance of the captain, the singing in the tavern stopped instantly, and everyone's eyes converged on Shanks.

"Aang? What's going on? Why don't you stop singing and keep drinking?"

Shanks, who didn't seem to have figured it out, said in a daze, and by the way, he opened his mouth and took a sip of the wine in the wine glass.

"Poofhahahaha! The captain has been beaten down by an imp!"

The green sailor's vest still couldn't hide the round, fat-bellied Raki Lu, and sneered.

"Ahahahaha!"

Immediately, the tavern burst into laughter.

As soon as Luffy left the tavern, he heard the deafening laughter inside, and gradually, "Binks's Wine" was sung in a cheerful tone again.

"It really is!"

Luffy huffed and walked towards the head of the village, until he reached the edge of the shore cliff, and saw a familiar figure.

"Uta! What are you doing?"

Luffy curiously ran to Uta's side, a cute little Lori with half red hair and half white hair.

"You're here again, you can't afford to lose!"

Little Loriuta looked obviously much more mature than Luffy, like a little adult, and mocked.

"Hey, I'm not convinced! Clearly I won!"

"No, I've already won you 99 times, and if I try again, I'm going to win my 100th game!"

"Damn, compare to whom, who is afraid of whom, what is better today!"

"Of course..."

Two children sat on the beach, you don't let me I don't let you bicker, but as she spoke, Uta's voice paused.

Then, her tone was trembling, as if she was terrifying something.

"Road... Luffy, look..."

"See? See what?"

Luffy looked at the sky indifferently, but his eyes widened in an instant, his mouth opened wide, and he fell to the ground.

"This... This..."

"Shanks, go find Shanks!"

Uta reacted, grabbed Luffy with trembling hands, picked up his chin by the way, and ran towards the tavern with him.

[In view of the general environment, "Shanks! Shanks, no!"

"Bang!"

Uta kicked open the tavern's saloon door and yelled at the noisy people.

"Baby ho ho, ho~"

No one paid any attention to Uta.

Uta's chest rose and fell, and she couldn't be more familiar with the personalities of the people in front of her. ….

"Shanks, follow me!"

Uta threw Luffy on the ground, stepped forward and grabbed Shanks by the collar and walked out.

"Heavenly, heavenly... There is a city!"

"Pop!"

Uta threw Shanks out of the tavern, and a drunken Shanks looked at the sky with a confused gaze.

"Huh? How can there be a city in heaven? There's a city!"

Shanks woke up in an instant, looking at the sky solemnly, and the silence in the tavern was terrifying, and the needle drop could be heard.

Everyone huddled in the door frames and windows, heads up, looking at the sky in shock.

"What's wrong?"

A confused voice rang out, and the green-haired tavern lady Magino took the wiped wooden wine glass, pushed everyone away, and came outside the tavern.

"Winter~"

The glass fell to the ground with a rolling sound, and she sat on the ground in shock at the scene in front of her.

A magnificent, stately huge city that is quietly reflected above the world.

The dream-like phantom, like a mirage, is yet so real.

is so real that you can even see the person who is also looking at himself in the shadow.

……

"Is this the collision of worlds?"

King's Heights.

Lan and the other civil officials, as well as Estes and other military attachés, gathered around Heaton, looking up at the sky.

The same reflection, at this moment, the sky is like a mirror, but the difference is that the mirror reflects not oneself.

"The world... Let's move!"

Heaton looked at the scene in front of him and walked into the hall of the audience.

He knew that his plan had succeeded!

It's been five years since I first went to the Eastern Continent to see nature.

For five years, Heaton focused on the development of armaments, the basic life of the people of the empire, and the improvement of the imperial structure and infrastructure.

Now, not to mention the greatly changed imperial capital, and even every city in the empire, it is not what it used to be.

Over the course of five years, Heaton set a plan for inspections in various countries.

First, it was Del's trip that strengthened the position of the people in Heaton's heart, and touring the whole country could better improve the cohesion of the imperial people's hearts.

Second, it's Heaton's own ability.

You can't use a living animal or plant as a Chronos toy, but you can't use it for non-living things.

Rock! Earth! Metal! Dangerous materials!

Over the course of five years, Heaton had mastered the non-living materials of the entire empire.

Such as the houses where people live, daily necessities.

Even in order not to cause panic, Heaton left the material in its original state after it was parsed without interference.

For example, the owner of the house wants to tear down and rebuild the house, even if Heaton can complete his idea in a split second, but he will not interfere.

The owner of the house would hire workers, buy materials, and build the house that was still in Heaton's control with new materials in Heaton's control.

Non-living beings are soulless, and no matter what changes, they will not have an effect on Heaton.

It took five years for Heaton to travel throughout the empire before he could complete the plan.

Meanwhile, the Imperials had just lived happily ever after, and Heaton couldn't let a tense otherworldly invasion disrupt their peaceful days.

So, Heaton postponed the "collision of time" for a full five years. ….

During this time, the Royal Daily News kept releasing news.

Space mirror, stand-in messenger, otherworldly invasion.

Become something that the people of the empire talk about after dinner.

Space mirrors have become a means of travel for people to travel far and wide.

The stand-in messenger also became a symbol of talent.

People are nervous and looking forward to the different worlds that the Royal Daily News says.

At the same time, a life-prolonging breathing method was popularized.

It was Heaton who handed over the fashionable Ripple Breathing and the Imperial Fist Temple Breathing.

There are two versions of the combined breathing method, the ordinary threshold is lower, although there are qualification requirements, but even ordinary people can accumulate ripples, that is, energy, through a specific breathing method, this energy can slightly extend life and slow down aging.

The breathing method with a higher threshold is controlled by the empire, and the best is chosen.

The ripple breathing method is to accumulate ripples, store them in the body, and release them when used.

The breathing method of Huangquan Temple is to omit this process and use the energy generated by breathing to increase the strength of the body.

The combined breath*** changes the nature of the ripples, allowing them to become real human energy, flowing in the body, which can both improve physical fitness and be used when attacking.

With the implementation of the breathing method, it is visible to the naked eye that people's complexion is better, and even some elderly people are ten years younger in an instant.

The space mirror improves the way people travel and facilitates the communication of people everywhere.

I thought I would never be able to go in a lifetime, but I can reach it in an instant.

This product has greatly improved the economy of the people of the empire, and has also allowed various localities to strengthen the development of characteristic industries.

Imperial tourism is beginning to take shape.

And a policy of basic living assistance has saved people from the troubles of life.

Fashionably made of various robots, building materials, quickly dismantled factories on houses.

Although the newly built houses are not luxurious, they are much better for some ordinary mountain villages than leaky wooden houses.

The imperial capital, in particular, has been completely replanned.

The foundation of the King's Heights remains unchanged, as this massive palace is a symbol of authority, bringing together the best of humanity's wisdom from thousands of years ago.

The exterior remains the same, but the interior can change dramatically.

Mr. Rat and Miss Rabbit, as the new palace steward, is responsible for directing and dispatching all the animals.

Of course, at this moment, they have all become more western-like fairy-like creatures.

These toys assist the palace maids in their daily work, greatly reducing the burden on the maids.

The inner city has changed dramatically.

After graduating from the first batch of students from the Imperial Capital Academy, they injected a group of fresh blood into the empire.

In the future, the First Academy of the Imperial Capital will be renamed the Imperial Capital Royal Academy, and three schools will be established in the inner city: the Imperial Capital Royal University, the Imperial Capital Royal Military Academy, and the Imperial Capital University of Science and Technology, as a more in-depth place for study.

Four Imperial Royal Primary Schools were also established in the outer city.

In general, it is to separate the content of the previous First Academy of the Imperial Capital, which had to shorten the teaching time, teach the body type, and quickly replenish the blood because the empire was in dire need of talents.

However, in five years, there will be no such concerns, so the teaching content will be scattered and extended, and more attention will be paid to the knowledge research based on advanced fields, so as to cultivate professional talents. ….

Gifted children are selected in primary schools, and the Royal Academy serves as a bridge to select talents for universities.

At the same time, the institute was also moved into the inner city and established in the Imperial University of Science and Technology, which is located next to the building of the Scientific Research Department of the Imperial Cabinet of the Interior.

There are only these three universities in the inner city, which recruit students from all over the empire, and they will be admitted by unified examination, so naturally they will not only recruit students from the Royal Academy of the Imperial Capital.

Nowadays, cities, universities, colleges, and primary schools have sprung up like mushrooms, like Del College on the border, and El Lai Yin University in the central city.

Among them, the college is similar to the middle school and high school in Heaton's previous life, but because of the different systems, the content taught in the college is more complicated, and it has begun to belong to different majors.

Primary school enlightenment, popularization of knowledge, college selection of majors, university in-depth study.

This was the education system of the Empire.

Of course, there are not only these three high-level institutions in the inner city, but also the handling agencies of the departments under the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Similar to the building of the Ministry of Scientific Research, Doteya, as the internal affairs officer of the Scientific Research Department of the Cabinet of the Interior, will go back and forth between the Building of the Ministry of Scientific Research and the Cabinet of the Interior of Wangzhi Highland.

In addition to the Ministry of Scientific Research, there are also office buildings of the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Security, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Finance, and the Ministry of Industry.

There are also the Imperial Court, the Public Prosecutor's Office, the headquarters of the Garrison Department, the Military Department building.

It is no exaggeration to say that the King's Heights are the heart of the empire, and the inner city is the liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys of the empire.

Of course, the most conspicuous of these is the area of the Research Department, because a large and eye-catching object stands tall.

Protector Machine God [Supreme Throne]!

Heaton had fully parsed it and moved it from the ground to the surface.

And now, the [Supreme Throne] has also changed from a piloting mecha to a remote-controlled mecha, and it doesn't need to be started anyway, just handed over to the research institute to study.

As soon as the students of the Imperial Capital University of Science and Technology looked up, they could see this towering huge mecha, which was much more inspiring for those studying science and technology than cheering up.

In addition to these imperial and government departments, the inner city also has residential areas, landscape areas, and leisure areas for officials to live.

However, it is worth mentioning the stand-in tower near the Garrison Department.

It was populated by officials who managed the Imperial Stand-in Emissaries, using the most advanced equipment.

The Mind Suppressor, which is a flashlight-like item that inhibits the Stand-in from summoning the Stand-in and blocking the Stand-In's abilities.

There is also a stand-in extractor, which is a fashionable reference to Pucci's stand-in to create equipment, which can directly confiscate the stand-in ability, but compared to Pucci's [White Snake], it is much more difficult to operate and takes a long time.

Finally, there is a church near the outer city, Anning Road Church.

Lange as bishop, Pucci, DIO, Diablo were his assistants, responsible for propagating the doctrine, the greatness of the empire, the sanctity of the emperor.

The architecture of the inner city is more modern and is the embodiment of the top technology of the empire, and the outer city is much more prosperous.

The four districts, deliberately guided by the Empire, are more inclined towards four different styles.

In fact, the imperial capital was a mix of styles, the previous castle towns were biased towards Chinese architecture and even Chinatown, the life in the slums was similar to that of India, and the architectural structure of the northern city was similar to that of European Rome.

Heaton actually likes this kind of staggered and mixed style, which does not have the sense of separation of style differences, but adds novelty.

Therefore, under the condition that the outer city of the imperial capital is roughly unchanged, each urban area develops a characteristic architectural style.

For example, the Chinese-style castle town and the illuminated Chinatown have to change their appearance even if they are modern machines.

It can be said that the imperial capital is an all-encompassing huge city!

Heaton limited the development of automobiles, because Heaton knew very well that such tools would soon be out of step with the times, and fashion also looked down on these things, always feeling that they did not match their own IQ.

As a result, vehicles were used only in military combat.

It is precisely because of the prosperity of the empire that people are gradually entering a period of slackness, and Estes and other military attaches have long been impatient for the so-called other world.

Heaton went to Rika again and officially started the [Wandering World] project.

Heaton didn't forget what he promised to be natural, and for five years, every year that passed, Heaton would go to the Eastern Continent to chat with him to relieve his boredom.

So, in the shocked eyes of the world, an unknown world appeared above the sky.

And this world is not a random choice for Heaton, but the result of his careful selection.

"One Piece"!.
