Chapter 212: Chapter 212: Stud-Man!
After Jovian fully absorbed the power of the four legendary Ultras, the power inside him reached its peak. Through the power of Noa, he became the first light of the universe at the most fundamental level, took control of the balance of all things across the Ultraman multiverse, and became the Progenitor of light and darkness...
"How wonderful..."
The Watcher of the infinite worlds floated in the endless void, praising everything Jovian had done in the Ultraman world. Good. Very good. Truly excellent.
"Across this endless cosmos, there are countless worlds, and within those worlds exist Jovian’s many avatars. But not every world’s Jovian is working hard to become Freeborn. For example, there is a certain man drifting around the world of One Piece without a care, gradually losing contact with his main body."
The bald man seemed to have spotted someone interesting. His gaze pierced through the countless universes and finally landed on a man constantly searching for pleasure in the Pleasure District.
"Next, everyone will follow my perspective and take a good look at this so-called inspirational Jovian who wants to become Stud-Man."
In the mid-to-low-level world of One Piece, one of the worlds Jovian had invaded in bulk, a bare-chested man gently rubbed the stubble on his chin as he thought about his current situation.
"Freeborn? Emperor? Responsibility? Getting stronger?"
"Fuck all that. What does any of that have to do with me?"
"With greater power comes less responsibility. Since I came to such an interesting world, I have to properly make use of my strengths and spread my excellent genes far and wide."
The bare-chested man stole a small boat from a nearby fisherman, then began sailing across the sea.
"Hey, asshole, that’s my boat!"
Jovian stood on the small wooden boat and looked into the distance. Behind him, the fishermen shouted angrily, but he did not care at all. He simply let the wind and waves carry him forward. Yes, a handsome bastard like Jovian never needed oars to row. He moved entirely by riding the waves.
About a week later...
The Sabaody Archipelago. This was the closest place to the Holy Land Mary Geoise, where the Celestial Dragons lived. It was also the boundary between the first half and the second half of the Grand Line, the only entrance ordinary pirates had if they wanted to enter the New World.
On this day, an extraordinary being arrived on the archipelago.
On a small wooden boat, a man wearing a straw rain hat and a rain cloak, holding a harpoon in his hand, slowly approached the Sabaody Archipelago.
The man looked at the island before him, adjusted the straw hat on his head, then gently raised his face, revealing a weathered, world-weary face and a deep, solemn gaze.
"Hoo..."
A cigarette hung from the man’s mouth as he occasionally inhaled and exhaled, sending white smoke drifting from his lips.
Vaguely, a strange and mysterious melody seemed to circle around him, like a lone cowboy’s theme echoing across an empty desert road.
"Hey, man, is this the Sabaody Archipelago?"
After getting close to a fisherman, the man asked him a question.
"Huh? The noise on your side is too loud. I can’t hear you..."
The fisherman, who looked about forty or fifty years old, dug at his ear after hearing the man’s words. He tried hard to listen, but he still could not hear clearly, because a loud and piercing song was blaring around the man.
Click.
After hearing the fisherman’s words, helplessness flashed through the man’s eyes. He turned off the only valuable possession on his small wooden boat, an old, beat-up radio. The self-recorded background music he had been playing came to an abrupt stop.
"Man, is this the Sabaody Archipelago?"
After turning off the background music, the man asked the fisherman again.
"Yeah, this is the Sabaody Archipelago. If this is where you wanted to go, then you came to the right place. You didn’t take a wrong turn."
The fisherman seemed rather warmhearted. He nodded repeatedly, confirming that the man had not gone to the wrong place.
"Thanks, man."
The man gave the fisherman a thumbs-up, then drifted toward the Sabaody Archipelago under the push of the waves.
"Well, I’ll be damned."
The fisherman stared wide-eyed at the scene in front of him. The boat did not need oars. It moved as soon as the man waved his hand. That was truly magical.
"Could that kid be a Devil Fruit user?"
The fisherman thought for a moment. He suspected that this man, who moved without oars and relied entirely on waves, might be one of the legendary Devil Fruit users.
The fisherman watched that suspected Devil Fruit user carry his radio and disappear at the shore, wondering what kind of Devil Fruit power this wave-riding man had.
"Glug, glug, glug..."
However, just as the fisherman was thinking, countless tiny bubbles suddenly surged up from the sea beneath him. A massive shadow seemed to have arrived below his boat.
"Hm?!"
The fisherman looked at the bubbles rising all around him with confusion, but he did not take them too seriously. Until...
Boom!
Accompanied by a massive shadow bursting through the waves and surging out of the water, the fisherman and his little boat were directly launched into the sky by that enormous shadow.
"Huh?!"
Only when the fisherman was floating in midair did he realize that the thing under him was actually a supermassive Sea King more than five thousand meters long.
"It’s a Sea King!"
"Fire! Fire the cannons!"
The Marine soldiers responsible for protecting the safety of the Sabaody Archipelago immediately prepared their cannonballs and fired at the enormous Sea King.
Boom!
Facing the endless artillery fire, the Sea King did not move at all. Its gaze remained firmly locked on Jovian, who was heading toward the other islands.
"..."
Although the Sea King said nothing, its eyes were filled with respect as it watched Jovian’s back.
After its body and mind had been thoroughly trained by Jovian, it had already been molded into Jovian’s shape. Jovian was its master, its leader, the terrifying existence who guided the Sea Kings.
Yes, no one could actually walk across the sea by riding waves. There was simply a Sea King blowing bubbles under the water.
"Ah..."
Compared to the Sea King’s reluctance, Jovian was much more carefree. Carrying his speaker, his figure gradually disappeared.
He had only one destination, the Pleasure District!
Yes, Jovian was just that honest and trustworthy. Since he had decided to go to the Pleasure District to find pleasure, he absolutely had to go to the Pleasure District.
Creak...
With a dull sound, the doors of the most famous brothel in the Pleasure District were pushed open.
"Welcome, uh..."
The doorman looked at the person currently standing at their entrance. At a glance, he looked like someone with no money. Was this guy planning to get free service?!
"May I ask what you’ve come here for?"
The doorman looked at Jovian, who looked almost like a beggar, and asked.
"What kind of stupid question is that? What else would I come here for besides fun?"
Jovian put his hands on his hips, raised his head, and puffed out his chest.
"Do you have money?"
The doorman’s eyes carried a trace of disdain. They were the type to judge customers by appearance.
"Nope!"
Jovian was very honest. He was too lazy to lie, so he directly stated the fact that he did not have a single coin on him. Even his clothes and equipment had been "sponsored" by kindhearted people.
"You want to have fun without money? I think you’re the one getting carried away. Do you know who stands behind this Pleasure District? The famous Lady Stussy!"
"You want free service? Aren’t you afraid Lady Stussy will break your third leg?"
The doorman shouted coldly at Jovian.
"My third leg is thick and hard. Under normal circumstances, it would be very difficult for Lady Stussy to break it..."
Jovian smiled faintly and spoke frankly.
"Heh..."
The doorman had seen far too many people like Jovian. He could not be bothered to waste more words.
"Although I don’t have money right now, I’ll have money very soon."
"Whose head is worth the most on this island right now?"
Jovian asked the doorman in front of him.
"Whose head is worth the most?"
"That would have to be ’Rolling Stone’ Sterling, who landed on the island yesterday. He’s a man with an eighty-seven-million-Berry bounty, and his strength is far beyond ordinary people!"
The doorman pointed at the bounty poster pasted on the wall behind him. Printed on the poster was an extremely sturdy pirate who looked like a boulder. That rock-like pirate was Sterling, the man known as Rolling Stone, whose bounty had reached the astonishing sum of eighty million Berries.
"What? Are you planning to go after the man known as Rolling Stone, the one with a bounty over eighty million?"
The doorman stared at Jovian in disbelief.
"An eighty-million bounty?"
"Excellent..."
"Wait here for me. I’ll be back in a few minutes."
Jovian walked straight behind the doorman and took down the bounty poster behind them. Then, with a flash, he moved away from the doorman and headed into the distance.
"That guy..."
The doormen glanced at each other, disbelief in their eyes. They were now certain that Jovian might actually be some kind of monster.
"Once I get a map to Amazon Lily from this place, I’ll go meet the legendary Pirate Empress, Boa Hancock."
"I have a dream, and that is to double the population of Amazon Lily."
The corners of Jovian’s mouth rose slightly. As he searched for the legendary pirate with an astonishing eighty-million-Berry bounty, he pondered the grand project of helping every woman on Amazon Lily get pregnant.
Yes, Jovian had originally come to the Sabaody Archipelago only to find a sea chart to Amazon Lily. It was just that, since he was already here, it would be unreasonable not to sample the specialty brothels of the Sabaody Archipelago. Why, you ask? Because Jovian was the man who would become the Stud King!
Inside a dimly lit tavern, an ugly man with some freckles on his face, an extremely overdeveloped upper body, and incredibly thin legs, as if he suffered from some bizarre illness, was hugging two women while drinking heavily.
"Hahaha..."
"I, Rolling Stone Sterling, will board a coated warship tomorrow and head to Fish-Man Island. When that happens..."
"I’m definitely going to capture the most beautiful mermaid in the world and make her my toy!"
"Once I reach the New World, I’ll punch Whitebeard, stomp Shanks, defeat Big Mom with my left foot, and kill Hundred Beasts Kaido with my right fist! I’m the strongest man in the world, the strongest creature in actual practice!"
"Hic..."
The man burped, his eyes hazy. He arrogantly described his great plan.
"You’ll definitely make it happen."
The two women at his sides cooperated perfectly, flattering him.
"Of course. Of course I’ll make it happen."
"Hic..."
The man nodded, seeming to greatly enjoy the flattery of everyone around him.
"Hahaha..."
However, just when the man was acting arrogantly, a badly timed laugh rang out in the bar.
"Hm?!"
The expression of the man called Rolling Stone changed, and he immediately became unhappy. He seemed to care a great deal about being mocked. He stood up angrily and looked around.
"Who was it? Who laughed at me? Do you have a death wish?"
As Rolling Stone flew into a rage, the expressions of his subordinates around him changed. They looked panicked and did not dare say a word.
"Who was it?!"
"Get out here!"
Rolling Stone kept shouting, as if he did not intend to let anyone off. He roared over and over, demanding that whoever had mocked him stand up.
"Stop yelling."
"Even if you’re not tired, I’m tired just listening."
At the bar counter, a man who had appeared there at some unknown point was holding a bottle of bourbon and drinking heavily, yet his expression was incomparably calm.
"Man, are you insane?!"
"That’s a man with an eighty-million bounty. If you do this, you’ll die!"
The tavern owner looked at the man who dared to go head-to-head with that lunatic, that man with an eighty-million bounty, and panic filled his expression.
"Hahaha..."
Hearing this, Jovian laughed softly. He seemed utterly calm.
"Hey, I hear you’ve got an eighty-million bounty. You think you’re hot shit?"
Jovian stood up and walked in front of the man with the eighty-million bounty.
"You..."
Countless people around them panicked when they saw Jovian raise his head. They were afraid Jovian would anger the other party. Once he angered a man worth eighty million, the destruction he could cause to all of them would be unimaginable.
"I am hot shit. What about it?"
Sterling grinned viciously. He was troubled, troubled over what method he should use to deal with Jovian.
"Then you must have a lot of stuff. Could you lend me a little?"
Jovian looked at Sterling and smiled.
"Hahaha..."
"Do you know how many towns I’ve pillaged?"
"The wealth I carry is something you couldn’t imagine in this lifetime!"
Sterling laughed loudly. He had been known for cruelty from the moment he debuted. He had destroyed dozens of villages and gathered more than a hundred million Berries in wealth. That was a massive sum.
"That’s great!"
"In that case, lend me your head!"
Jovian smiled with pure innocence.
"Hahaha..."
"Kid, what kind of joke are you making?!"
Veins bulged on Sterling’s forehead. He believed Jovian was mocking him, and that made him furious. He drew the cleaver at his waist, preparing to finish Jovian off.
Zzt.
A scarlet beam shot out from Jovian’s eyes.
Thud.
In an instant, a head fell to the floor.
"I already said to lend me your head. If you hadn’t drawn your blade, I could have taken it while you were still alive. But you just had to choose the road to death. Sigh..."
Under the shocked and terrified gazes of everyone in the tavern, Jovian placed Sterling’s head into the bag beside him. He was going to exchange it for money, then properly search for pleasure in the Sabaody Archipelago’s Pleasure District.
