One Piece: At the start, defeat Momonosuke and take Yamato to sea.

Chapter 407 Blood Moon Descends, Hell Rift

Two years later.

Red Earth Continent, Luoji World Government, and the Thirty-Six Floating Islands.

Located at the very top of the Heavenly Palace, known as Lingxiaotian.

Luo Ji looked at the Heavenly Court he had designed and smiled with satisfaction.

In addition to using the Float-Float Fruit's power, Vegapunk also created a sky island climate below, generating island clouds to give the island dual floating capabilities, ensuring absolute safety.

Vegapunk also incorporated the floating island of "Punk Records" that he designed on Egghead Island into the Thirty-Six Floating Islands, located on the seventh level, and named it "Technology Sky".

The floating islands below the Ninth Heaven are all office areas of the Luo Ji World Government.

The core departments of the world government, navy, army, and expeditionary force are stationed there to coordinate world affairs.

The tenth to nineteenth heavens are all the residences of important members under Luo Ji's command.

As for the twentieth heaven and above, they are all the palaces and recreational areas of the Luo family.

They searched for all sorts of strange islands around the world and transported them to the Thirty-Sixth Heaven.

There are islands full of delicious food, islands full of rare animals, islands full of drinks—there are islands for eating, drinking, and having fun.

Fortunately, Luo Ji did not use too many resources from the World Government to develop the Thirty-Six Heavens. He and his family did most of the work themselves, traveling and adventuring around the world to bring back these islands one by one.

Otherwise, Dragon and Ichisho would really feel that the Luo family had become the second batch of Celestial Dragons.

That's some serious enjoyment.

With the deity Luo Ji presiding over the world, peace prevails.

The major pirates with territories in the New World have been largely subdued.

Some pirates continue to roam freely, enjoying their freedom and continuing their plundering.

They are the primary targets of the World Expeditionary Forces.

Most pirate crews, intimidated by Luo Ji's power, changed their names to pioneering crews and adventure crews.

The adventure group's main activities are adventure and treasure hunting, exploring nameless islands and selling information and rare treasures from various islands.

The pioneering groups primarily conquer non-member states and unknown islands, making them candidate forces to become conquering groups and eligible for generous rewards from the World Government.

In addition to suppressing the Red Earth Continental Alley and Fishman Island, the Luo Ji World Government has completely taken control of Upside Down Mountain.

They basically suppressed the rookie pirate crews within the four seas.

With the end of the Great Pirate Era, pirates decreased in number, and the world's commerce and tourism industry flourished.

The exchanges between the islands are more active than ever before.

The Seastone steamships built by the Luoji World Government began to be put into use in large numbers, further developing exchanges and trade between the four seas, and the whole world was thriving.

Luo Ji also drove away and eliminated sea kings in the windless zone at the foot of the Red Earth Continent, opened up safe passageways, and further increased the navigation volume of the four seas.

Countless commoners revered Luo Ji as a god and worshipped him every day.

In the newspapers, photos of Luo Ji in both forms are displayed on the pages every day, and he remains a symbol.

Luo Ji also had Morgans incorporate some divine abilities and powers into Luo Ji in the form of stories and comics.

Let's see if we can enhance Luo Ji's abilities and powers through the will of the people, and at the same time, make certain magical beast species with wills actively 'find' Luo Ji.

To deal with the three gods, Luo Ji has put a lot of effort into becoming stronger.

···

"We've already traveled all over the world and searched countless islands, but we still haven't found any more information about the Three Gods."

"The ability to kill was not found either."

"Where are they? Could they really be at Laugh Tale?"

"It seems we still need to find a way to locate the entrance to the Underworld."

"Finally, we'll go to Laugh Tale."

Luo Ji's aura was ethereal, indicating that he had developed the abilities of the Dark-Dark Fruit, the World-Destroying Black Dragon, and the Serpent of Karmic Fire to an unimaginable level.

For the past year since obtaining the pure gold, Luo Ji has been cultivating strong individuals and training, while also taking the women on adventures and building the world government.

Unfortunately, Kaido of the Beasts, Red Earl, and Bullet could not comprehend the power and advance to god-level Haki no matter what they tried.

They seemed to be restricted by something, unable to break through.

This left Luo Ji quite disappointed and filled with a sense of crisis.

As for Dragon, he doesn't seem to be focusing on training and has basically not been training or fighting with Kaido and the others.

He was busy with army affairs, judging and punishing one brutal and unscrupulous member of the royal family after another.

He probably spent the rest of his time secretly teaching Straw Hat Luffy.

Dragon didn't say anything, and Luo Ji didn't openly intervene either; no one brought up the matter of Straw Hat Luffy.

Luo Ji sensed that the three ancient gods hadn't made a move yet, probably still placing their hopes on the sun god Nika.

They hoped that the sun god would personally defeat the evil demon god Luo Ji, reclaim the power of the sun, and officially become the true god.

Otherwise, they would really have to destroy the world again and start all over again.

After all, time is worthless in their eyes.

Luo Ji, on the other hand, has been cultivating and improving his strength.

The delay in going to Laugh Tale was also due to certain considerations and concerns.

In fact, not long after his trip to the pure gold, he had already taken Vegapunk and the others to the vicinity of Laugh Tale.

But at that moment, Luo Ji sensed a sense of oppression and hostility.

It was as if a pair of large, cold, scarlet eyes were watching him from the void.

This prompted him to make a decisive decision and abandon the plan to land in Ravdru.

They chose to continue developing until they had fully mastered all the abilities and powers.

···

'So this is what the prophecies and records in the Elbaf murals are like.'

'Breathing exists in the void... blank spaces remain in the chaos... discordant afterimages...'

'Are there other dimensions and smaller worlds within the void and chaos of Laugh Tale?'

Luo Ji had no doubt that the three gods resided in other dimensions.

After all, many Devil Fruit abilities and powers can create space and small worlds.

Like the Door-Door Fruit's ability to create a world of doors, the Mirror-Mirror Fruit's ability to create a world of mirrors, and the Book-Book Fruit's ability to create a world of books...

There's also Luo Ji's scroll world, the unknown underworld...

···

After developing all his abilities and powers to the limit, Luo Ji has set his sights on the Yellow Springs Hell.

Brooke had already been following Luo Ji around.

Luo Ji also personally trained Brook, hoping to awaken his Yomi Yomi no Mi (Revive-Revive Fruit) ability.

Brooke lived up to expectations and has reached the edge of awakening.

"The day of the Blood Moon is approaching. Legend has it that cracks will appear in Hell, and countless evil spirits will descend upon the world."

"This is your chance to open the gates of the underworld, and also the opportunity to awaken your abilities."

Luo Ji had already given the Seven Star Sword he obtained on Aska Island to Brook, and now the three sacrificial orbs were also in Luo Ji's hands.

After Brook obtained the Seven Star Sword, it seemed to be a perfect match, becoming his sword of ghostly energy.

"I will not let down Lord Luo Ji's trust."

Brooke held the Seven Star Sword, and his whole body exuded an eerie aura of the underworld and demons.

He will lead this blood moon ritual.

They vowed to help Luo Ji open the gates of the Underworld and find what Luo Ji wanted.
