It's precisely because they have the invincible cheat code, Crimson!

After being "hacked," the console seemed to have "downloaded" all the games that Red remembered as being similar to those on the NS.

This also gave Crimson the ability to lead her companions on adventures in one game world after another.

A combat game that refines your skills, a roguelike game where you fight monsters to get stronger, a futuristic shooting game, an RPG with its own system...

Although it hasn't been a long time, with the help of one magical game world after another, the Straw Hat Pirates have now firmly established themselves in the starry sky and gained a certain reputation.

Not long ago, they even gained a group of space pirates who passed the test, adding many new members to the Straw Hat Grand Fleet.

It was through these reports from his subordinates that Crimson and his men learned that there seemed to be several valuable planets in this area.

According to the laws of the Star Empire, any powerful individual who is determined to be at least at the star level will automatically acquire ownership of any unrecorded planets and star systems they discover and successfully record.

All they have to pay is a fixed "registration tax" that they have to pay every so often.

Now, the star system where the One Piece world is located has been successfully registered under Luffy's name.

As for why the world of One Piece has remained unnoticed by other cosmic powers for so many years...

This is also because the star system where the One Piece world is located is too barren.

Even if you plundered it all, you still wouldn't be able to get a quarter's worth of "registration tax".

So the strong look down on them, and the weak dare not challenge them—that's the current situation in the One Piece world.

In fact, there are countless planets and star systems in the universe that have had similar experiences.

Only people like Luffy and his crew would go through the trouble of having their home star system registered under their own name, even though it's thankless work.

The reason they came here this time was because a space pirate felt that this place seemed a bit strange.

There may be wild "Lords of the Galaxy".

"Wild" means that it has already achieved stellar-level or even higher strength by relying on its own local power, but it is unaware of the existence of the Star Empire.

Such uncivilized regions that possess the "master of the galaxy" often harbor some precious treasures.

For example, the Sun Crystal and Crimson's power-up in the One Piece world are considered "fortune" in the context of the One Piece world.

That's why Luffy and his crew traveled so far to get here.

Speaking of solar crystallization, one must mention...

As it turns out, it is indeed not a product native to the One Piece world.

The Sun Crystal is actually a cultivation tool that the Star Empire distributes free of charge to stellar-level powerhouses!

That's right!

It's free!!!

In the starry sky, the crystallization of the sun is almost equivalent to the minimum living allowance received by a "low-income household".

Some powerful individuals who reach the stellar level but have no further path will go to the Star Empire to collect a batch of solar crystals, and then either leave them on their own planets or go to desolate star fields to find planets with intelligent life and release them...

Every so often, they collect solar crystals and use special techniques to absorb the power of the will above to strengthen themselves.

The fact that the Star Empire lists it as a free cultivation technique does not mean that Sun Crystals are a common, readily available product.

However, compared to the value that a star-level powerhouse can create, a batch of solar crystals is nothing.

Furthermore, the strong who choose this path must continuously develop the population of their planets or discover other intelligent planets, which greatly benefits the expansion of the Star Empire.

Perhaps the solar crystal obtained by the lunar people was one of those casually tossed aside by a powerful stellar-level being passing by.

The truth is just that cruel.

The grudges that have lasted for thousands of years in the world of One Piece are nothing more than items tossed away by people of a higher level.

Of course, all of this is just the path the Straw Hat Pirates took to get here.

With such a vast stage and an invincible, crimson cheat code, their future is destined to be even more glorious!

only……

"Crimson red!? What's going on?"

"Why do game world quests and scenes appear in real life!?"

"And... if I'm not mistaken, this should be the scene where Pain attacks Konoha, right!?"

Looking at everything beneath him, Usopp screamed in terror.

Although the Red Machine has been "hacked," it doesn't mean that simply choosing a Dragon Ball game world will grant them the power of a Super Saiyan.

First of all... the Crimson Companions must at least possess the ability to win battles in the game world in order to continue advancing the game's progress.

Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Trilogy and Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 - Boruto's Road, both of which allow players to progress from weak to strong and have a well-developed power system, have naturally become popular choices for many Straw Hat Pirates.

That's why they were so shocked when they saw the Hokage Rock and Naruto appear.

Faced with everyone's doubts, Crimson could only smile helplessly.

What could he possibly say?

God knows why the Naruto world and the One Piece world would appear in the same universe.

"Perhaps... those game worlds we visited before might just be projections of some place in this universe."

After a moment's thought, Crimson finally gave an ambiguous answer.

Upon hearing this answer, Luffy jumped up excitedly:

"Is this for real!?"

"So...we'll have a chance to encounter powerful characters like Goku and Vegeta again in the future!?"

"Who knows?" Crimson shrugged, offering no definite answer.

But Red didn't deny it, which is itself an answer for Luffy.

"Wuhu~!!!"

"The starry sky is so interesting!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Luffy stepped onto the railing of the Going Merry with one foot, then jumped and landed directly between Pain and Naruto.

Ever since his adventures in the machine world, he has had a strong emotional response to Naruto's experiences and personality.

Now that he could actually meet a real person in the real world, Luffy simply couldn't suppress his instincts.

He simply waved his hand and used his ki to remove the black rods from Naruto's body.

For Luffy, who has already fought his way to the second major arc of "Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot," titled "Nemesis Strikes! The Saiyan Threat," this is nothing.

He casually pulled out a large bottle of good medicine and sprinkled it directly on Naruto's wound.

As Naruto's injuries fully healed, Luffy grinned and extended a hand to him, much to Naruto's bewildered gaze.

"Naruto! Be my comrade!!!"

(The End! Hooray!)
