Alabasta Kingdom, capital Alubarna, an ancient secret chamber beneath the royal palace.

This place had completely transformed into a mad laboratory.

Yechuan, almost forgetting to eat and sleep, poured all his energy into the research of the White Zetsu and the Gedo Statue.

Although Uchiha Madara would later create a factory capable of producing White Zetsu, the current Uchiha Madara had not yet developed that system.

"Big Brother, your cell activity is too strong. Directly injecting it will cause ordinary sacrifices to collapse! It must first be diluted and neutralized with my Water Style Chakra!"

This was a rigorous suggestion put forth by Senju Tobirama based on experimental data.

"No, no! Kid, you need to feel life! Wood Style isn't just a simple Chakra transformation! You need to communicate with them with your heart! Make them come alive!"

This was Senju Hashirama's emotionally charged and highly infectious guidance, delivered with animated gestures from the side.

"Hmph, a boring trick. Why not just use the Rinnegan's ocular power to forcibly give them form?"

This was Uchiha Madara's disdainful suggestion, given while he stood with his arms crossed.

And around them, Nefertari Vivi, the Princess of Alabasta, had completely become a busy logistics and procurement officer.

"Mr. Yechuan! I've already had Igaram transport the Chakra-conducting ores you requested from the country's largest mine!"

"Mr. Yechuan! These are all the documents you requested regarding the life cycle of ancient plants!"

"Mr. Yechuan! The high-protein nutrient solution you asked for last time... the kitchen has already made a hundred barrels..."

Under Yechuan's irrefutable requests, the resources of the entire Alabasta Kingdom were mobilized, fully supporting his insane experiment, which had the potential to overturn the world.

For seven days and seven nights.

Yechuan barely closed his eyes.

He combined the First Hokage's Wood Style insights, the Second Hokage's forbidden jutsu theories, Uchiha Madara's understanding of Yin-Yang Release, and his own knowledge from the system, which surpassed the understanding of this era!

Yechuan succeeded!

He first used his Wood Style power to create a special environment around the Gedo Statue, filled with vast life energy, like a giant petri dish!

Countless wooden pipes extended from the Demonic Statue, like umbilical cords, connecting to each of the sleeping white puppets!

Then, he extracted his own cells, which had fused with the First Sage Body, combined them with some principles of the Spore Jutsu left by Uchiha Madara, and created an improved life spore!

Finally, he implanted these spores, one by one, into the hundreds of White Zetsu!

"In my name, I grant you new life!"

Buzz ————!

As Yechuan injected the vast life energy from the Gedo Statue into the petri dish, the entire underground secret chamber was enveloped in a soft green light!

Those white puppets, which had originally been like dead objects, one by one began to come alive!

Their bodies began to grow, divide, and proliferate!

Within just a few hours, the first batch of Wood Style White Zetsu soldiers, completely loyal to Yechuan, slowly stood up from the petri dish!

The White Zetsu production workshop was officially put into operation!

And its production speed reached an extremely terrifying number, stably producing two hundred White Zetsu soldiers per day on average!

"..."

Vivi stood at the entrance of the secret chamber, looking at the perfectly uniform white army before her, and at the black-haired young man standing at the forefront of the army, like a creator god.

The Princess's heart was completely consumed by an emotion called fear!

She finally understood!

What Yechuan wanted was not just a mere Alabasta!

What he was doing was creating an endless, immortal army capable of conquering the entire world!

And with this realization came an even deeper shiver!

Perhaps... the future of Alabasta that Yechuan had once shown her would truly come to pass one day!

"I succeeded... Haha... Hahahaha! I succeeded!"

Yechuan looked at the white ocean he had personally created before him, feeling the clear spiritual connection between himself and every White Zetsu soldier. The fatigue and excitement he had suppressed for a long time completely erupted at this moment!

He didn't even think much, turned around, and immediately pulled Princess Vivi, who was equally stunned and dumbfounded, into a tight embrace!

"We succeeded, Vivi! Did you see?! This is the power of our Senju Clan!!!"

"Eh?!"

Caught off guard by Yechuan's sudden, fervent embrace, Vivi's mind instantly went blank!

She could clearly feel Yechuan's heart pounding violently from excitement, and that overbearing aura that made her feel both dangerous and irresistibly drawn to him... Vivi's cheeks instantly turned so red they looked like they would bleed... After the immense excitement came a wave of exhaustion.

After instructing Crocodile to handle the subsequent production and management, Yechuan used the Flying Thunder God Technique to return to his villa in Rainbase, where he collapsed onto the soft bed and fell into a deep sleep.

He slept for a full day and a night.

When he woke up again, his spirit was completely restored, and his mind was clearer than ever before.

"The White Zetsu Army is on track... So, next..."

His gaze seemed to pierce through the Grand Line and the Calm Belt, looking towards the distant East.

"It's time to find... that woman who can read the Poneglyphs."

Yechuan found Crocodile and asked him for the most detailed sea chart of the Grand Line, as well as the exact location of the Bridge Kingdom Tequila Wolf.

"Boss, you're going to the East Blue?"

Crocodile was a little surprised.

"That place... is the weakest sea."

"Some things can only be found there."

Yechuan didn't explain much... The next day, the Golden Ark Maxim set sail again.

This time, in addition to Yechuan and Enel as the pilot, there were also two hundred White Zetsu soldiers with unified auras and silent demeanor, as well as the four Impure World Reincarnation coffins, each sealing Whitebeard, Madara, Tobirama, and Hashirama!

Yechuan stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the vast Alabasta below, his heart filled with ambition!

He took out a flag he had prepared long ago from his storage scroll!

The flag was entirely black, with the Senju Clan family crest embroidered in bright red silk in the center!

"From today onwards."

He slowly raised the flag to the Ark Maxim's tallest main mast.

"We are the Senju Pirates!"

The giant Golden Ark, driven by the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, burst forth with astonishing speed, turned its bow, left the Grand Line, ignored the Calm Belt that struck fear into all pirates, and flew at full speed towards the weakest and most peaceful East Blue!
