One Piece: Hell Pirates

Chapter 450 450: Regaining the Underworld Ability

Upon closer inspection, Lord Brook and the young soul did seem to bear some resemblance.

"I don't have time to argue with you! I learned plenty of useful things over there. I can use them to fix this body's looks!"

The soul clone directly devoured the newborn consciousness of the Yomi Yomi no Mi, along with the last trace of Jin's power. Once again, he became a user of the Yomi Yomi no Mi.

And just like before, there were no side effects.

Then the soul clone shot straight toward Brook.

Brook only smiled. He did not move. In fact, there was even a little anticipation in his expression.

When the little ones saw the young soul charging straight at Brook, they were all startled.

"Watch out, Father!" two voices cried.

"Watch out, Teacher!" four more shouted.

Amid the children's cries, Dark Brook and the soul clone collided and began merging at astonishing speed.

Memories were shared in an instant. The two became one consciousness again, yet could still split back into two souls at any time.

Brook's body began to change slightly.

"Whoa! The Naruto world? Holy crap, that's amazing! Kaguya and Tsunade both became waifus?"

"Let's adjust this face slowly and let everyone get used to it. Sure enough, this handsome look is much more pleasing!"

After the memories fused, Brook finally understood everything that had happened in both worlds.

He immediately used Yang Release chakra, the power of the Four Gods, and Life Return to start making tiny adjustments to his body, slowly moving his appearance closer to his previous life.

To avoid making the people of this world feel too much dissonance, he could only make the changes gradually. Sooner or later, he would return to his original face.

"Lord Brook seems younger and more handsome!"

Boa Hancock exclaimed in delight.

Although she had always admired Brook's strength, she would naturally like him even more if he became handsome too.

Meanwhile, Robin was analyzing the conversation between Brook and the ghostly young man.

Her final conclusion was that the young soul was most likely Brook's Yomi Yomi no Mi clone.

"Ha! That feels amazing!"

Brook floated directly into the air.

He had never expected that his Revive Revive clone would gain so much after exploring hell. His current strength was already close to that of a god.

However, Brook quickly calmed down.

Because of the existence of the Underworld, how could he bring people from the One Piece world to the Naruto world?

After all, the gods of the Northern Underworld were dead. That place was unguarded now, so he enjoyed far greater freedom there.

But in the One Piece world, the Western Underworld God, Jin, remained a constant threat.

It seemed he would have to play it safe for now and not expose his abilities, lest he draw Jin's wrath.

"Sigh. Those spatial teleportation abilities are all tied to the Rinnegan and the Four Gods' body. Otherwise, I could go anywhere I wanted right now."

Brook sighed in regret.

This soul clone possessed very few abilities. Most of them were energy based.

"Father!"

Kikyo ran forward anxiously. Her feet instantly transformed into trees that rapidly extended toward Brook, who was still floating in the air.

"It's fine. My Yomi Yomi no Mi power has simply returned."

Brook laughed loudly, picked up Kikyo, and returned to the ground. The trees vanished behind them.

"Congratulations, Lord Brook!"

Boa Hancock and the others immediately cheered in excitement.

No one had expected that after months of fruitless research, the Yomi Yomi no Mi's power would return on its own.

As the saying went, flowers planted with care may not bloom, while willows planted by accident may grow into shade.

"Haha! I'm in a good mood today. Let's go have some fun!"

Brook immediately opened a portal and brought over the Seraphim with the Teleportation Fruit.

"Let's go to the Red Line!"

Overjoyed, Brook led the little ones straight to the new palace on the Red Line.

"So cool!"

Aside from Nika, who had participated in the Final War, the rest of the children had mostly stayed active around the sky islands and Doraganzo Island in the New World. They had almost never left the Eighteen Hell Islands.

In his joy, Brook completely forgot that Dr. Vegapunk and Dr. Kureha were still working hard on the soul-splitting method.

At the same time, the golden spaceship carrying the second generation of Hell was also about to arrive at the Red Line.

On the Red Line, the former Holy Land of Mary Geoise had now been renamed the City of All Nations.

Charlotte Linlin, Queen of All Nations. Stussy, Queen of the Women's Kingdom. Shakky, Queen of the Women's Kingdom. Daenerys Targaryen, Queen of the White Dragons. Toki, Teach Angel, even the Mermaid Princess Ariel and the three-eyed Tenmokuran.

All of Brook's women were designing their own unique personal palaces.

Among them, Stussy's daughter, Brook's fourth daughter Katifa, had already eaten the Paramecia-type Gold-Gold Fruit and had become a permanent resident of the Red Line.

If Monkey D. Dragon saw this level of extravagance, he might start wondering whether the Brook family had become the next Celestial Dragons.

A large number of Homies were busy with construction.

Guyram, the user of the Cube-Cube Fruit, Morley, the user of the Push-Push Fruit, and Pica, the user of the Stone-Stone Fruit, who could easily reshape terrain, had all been drafted by the queens.

If the fourth prince, Mephisto, had not escaped quickly, he, as a Logia-type Earth-Earth Fruit user, would also have been dragged into labor by his mother, Charlotte Linlin.

In just over half a year, a multi-nation capital even larger than Mary Geoise had gradually taken shape.

Charlotte Linlin was nominally the first lady of the household, but she listened more to Stussy and Shakky. In practice, the three of them were the women who managed Brook's harem.

Aside from the White Dragon Queen, Daenerys Targaryen, whose personality was a little strong, the rest of the women were quite obedient.

On the main castle of the City of All Nations.

Charlotte Linlin looked over their work with satisfaction, while Siren Stussy and Vampire Shakky gently flapped their wings and flew beside her.

"Sigh. If Brother Brook hadn't been so obsessed with the Yomi Yomi no Mi, I would have dragged him here to see all our hard work long ago!"

Vampire Shakky pouted, her voice carrying a trace of resentment.

"Brook hasn't even looked at this place once."

"Shakky, don't speak badly of the Yomi Yomi no Mi. Brook will get angry."

Siren Stussy covered her mouth and chuckled softly, but her eyes carried the same resentment as Shakky's.

It had been far too long since they had received any blessings.

Charlotte Linlin was just about to speak.

At that moment, a beam of teleportation light suddenly lit up the castle's main hall.

-----------

As the teleportation light faded, Brook appeared in the City of All Nations with six little ones in tow.

"Brook?!" several voices cried at once.

Charlotte Linlin stared in shock.

This man had finally decided to leave that rotten laboratory?

"I'm back."

Brook held Kikyo's hand and waved at his women with a faint smile. After several months apart, he had missed them more than he expected.

"Was the experiment successful?"

Several women quickly rushed over. The moment they sensed the familiar cold aura of the Revive Revive Fruit around him, they knew Brook had regained his fruit power, and their eyes filled with joy.

"It didn't succeed. It came back on its own."

Brook chuckled softly. He gave Stussy and Shakky a warm hug, then looked up at the towering Charlotte Linlin.

Fortunately, after all that research, he had managed to keep a few bloodline abilities inside his soul clone.

"Let me show you a new ability."

"Super Expansion!"

In front of his women, children, and students, Brook's body began to swell. In the blink of an eye, he became a ten-meter-tall giant, just tall enough to pull the eight-point-eight-meter-tall Charlotte Linlin into his arms.

Finally, he could match the Queen of All Nations.

After losing the Shinigami body powered by the Yomi Yomi no Mi, it had really become a case of a toothpick trying to stir a giant vat.

However, Brook had spent the last six months inside the laboratory and had not touched a woman, so Charlotte Linlin should not know about that little tragedy.

Now, he could face any woman with confidence.

Whether it was full expansion or partial expansion, he could handle it perfectly.

"Did Father eat a third Devil Fruit?"

Sixth Prince Nika shouted excitedly. Then he puffed air into himself and turned into a rubber balloon several meters tall. Unfortunately, he could not maintain a proper human shape and became a light, floating ball instead.

"This is another kind of magical power. It isn't a Devil Fruit ability."

Brook scooped up the little brats with his right hand. Stussy and Shakky immediately climbed onto his huge shoulders. With his left hand, Brook took Charlotte Linlin's hand, and together they walked out of the main castle to inspect the new capital.

Just outside the main hall, Brook saw Fourth Princess Katifa again.

Under Katifa's astonished gaze, he let his fourth daughter jump onto his right hand as well.

Today, they would have a proper family reunion.

The other women overseeing construction in the City of All Nations also gathered around them, especially Daenerys Targaryen, who flew over on a huge red dragon.

When Toki and the Mermaid Princess Ariel arrived, Otohime, Brook's adopted daughter, also came over with a giant bubble. Inside the bubble was a giant pink-haired little girl.

It was none other than Shirahoshi, Poseidon.

Shirahoshi was the first member of the third generation of the royal family.

None of Brook's children had married or had children yet. Only Otohime had given birth to Poseidon, the Sea King, through divine mandate.

Brook gently set down his children and students, released Charlotte Linlin, then tenderly picked up the enormous baby girl.

"Grandpa Emperor."

Two-year-old Shirahoshi could already speak. Under Ariel and Otohime's guidance, she finally said the title properly.

Because Princess Otohime had no husband, she did not call Brook "Father," but treated him as her grandfather.

"Haha, so I'm already a grandfather."

Brook teased the adorable Shirahoshi and laughed loudly.

His eldest son Hades and the others should already be over thirty years old now, but every one of them was still single.

Were they all trying to imitate old men like the Red Earl, Newgate, and Shiki?

It seemed he would have to urge them properly. Otherwise, how was the family supposed to flourish?

Was he supposed to rely on himself for everything?

"Shirahoshi is so big."

Princess Kikyo spoke softly. She and Princess Otohime were of the same generation. Since Shirahoshi called Brook "Grandpa Emperor," Shirahoshi was their precious niece, not their younger sister.

"Shirahoshi may grow to more than eleven meters in the future."

Brook laughed. With his current height of ten meters, holding two-year-old Shirahoshi looked just about right.

Carrying the third-generation imperial princess Shirahoshi, Brook led the group on a tour of the new capital.

Along the way, Princess Kikyo used the power of the Logia-type Forest-Forest Fruit to make trees sprout and grow, adding a touch of life and greenery to the luxurious golden capital.

At that moment, a golden spaceship sped into the capital of All Nations on the Red Line.

Brook noticed the little ones aboard almost instantly and could not help smiling.

It seemed today's family reunion would be quite complete.

On the golden spaceship, the powerful second-generation children of Hell also sensed Brook's familiar yet overwhelming aura.

"I can sense Father's presence! He's in the City right now!"

"Everyone, get ready! Hela, fix your hair. Don't let it look like a bird's nest!"

The eldest prince, Hades, shouted immediately.

The conquest of the East Blue had taken them several months. Now they could finally see their father and mothers again.

The others immediately began tidying their clothes and appearances.

After conquering the East Blue, this group of second-generation children of Hell would probably be disbanded.

In the future, they could each build their own teams and suppress the whole world for the Universal Government.

With Brook's strength, there was no longer any need for him to handle such matters personally. He could leave everything to his sons and subordinates.

"Father really came!"

Princess Kanna was a little excited. However, after holding a high position for so long, she had to mind her dignified image and could no longer behave like a little girl.

"Father finally decided to leave that broken laboratory!"

Princess Shana smiled happily, then immediately urged Satan and Marco to speed up the golden spaceship.

They wanted to see that revered man as soon as possible.

Before long, the golden spaceship landed in the City of All Nations.

When they saw the ten-meter-tall Brook, everyone froze for a moment. But they quickly recovered and rushed forward to bow excitedly.

Seeing his descendants and students filling the place, Brook felt that this world was far livelier than the Naruto world.

In the One Piece world, it had taken him thirty or forty years to unify the world and establish a great power.

In the Naruto world, he had only needed one year to unify the ninja world.

Still, the planet in the Naruto world was indeed much smaller than the One Piece world.

"We'll hold a grand banquet tonight!"

Seeing so many children return, Brook immediately made the happy announcement, then began chatting with his children.

Princess Kanna was not disappointed about losing her position as the most favored child. After all, she was already almost thirty.

However, after bringing her strength close to its peak, she had begun wearing pure gold rings to preserve her youthful appearance.

Seeing Brook shift some of his affection to Kikyo and little Shirahoshi actually made them feel relieved.

At least Brook would no longer stay locked inside the laboratory every day.

And he would no longer become that gloomy, irritable man.
