Chapter 294: Morgans Invites You to the Live Broadcast Room!
Chapter 294: Morgans Invites You to the Live Broadcast Room!
The Painting Fruit, combined with the system's enhancements, had made Uchiha Itachi's abilities incredibly diverse and versatile.
As long as he could imagine it, he could bring it to reality.
Musicians, chefs, doctors, shipwrights, swordsmen, sailors—he could create them all with ease.
Because of this, Nojiko, Kalifa, Robin, and Vivi were shocked beyond belief.
No matter how many times they witnessed it, they could never fully grasp how Itachi had developed the Painting Fruit into something so overpowered.
This level of absurdity had never been seen in the history of Devil Fruits.
Of course, Itachi had no intention of explaining it all to them.
A genius' world didn't require them to understand everything.
Not long after, Shiki returned with ten floating islands.
Following that, the 100,000 AI soldiers were divided into 1,000-man units, forming a total of 100 squads.
Then, Shiki split the ten islands into 100 smaller floating land masses.
Even with 100,000 troops, it still felt a little sparse.
However, creating more would be too exhausting, so Itachi adjusted the layout.
The AI soldiers were evenly distributed, spread across all 100 floating islands.
The visual impact was nothing short of breathtaking.
Then, Itachi summoned 100 music instructors to teach the troops how to sing the "Ceremonial Hymn".
Once they had sufficiently mastered the song, a full day passed.
At that moment—
Buru Buru Buru!
Just as they were about to depart, the Den Den Mushi rang.
"Moshi Moshi!"
"I'm Monkey D. Luffy, the man who will become the Pirate King!"
The moment he answered, Itachi misspoke out of habit.
"Enough with that childish joke, Uchiha Itachi!"
"You told me there was a major scoop!"
"Where the hell are you?!"
On the other end of the call, Morgans' voice was filled with frustration.
Despite his skepticism, the temptation was too strong—he had secretly flown to the waters near Judicial Island.
However, after waiting for hours, nothing happened.
He couldn't hold back any longer, so he called to demand an explanation.
"Relax. Just start the live broadcast now."
"I'll be there shortly."
"I guarantee it will be the biggest news story you've ever reported."
Itachi's voice carried absolute confidence.
"Are you serious?"
Morgans was still a little skeptical.
"Look, since you're already here, why not trust me one last time?"
Itachi's tone was casual yet persuasive.
"Alright!"
"But you better hurry up!"
"If the World Government reacts fast enough to shut down the broadcast, then there's nothing I can do!"
Morgans gritted his teeth and agreed.
The saying goes—"Fortune favors the bold."
His fearlessness had made him the King of News, and if he wanted to stay on top, he had to keep taking risks.
The World Government already wanted him dead, so what difference did one more offense make?
With that thought, Morgans wasted no time setting up the broadcast.
Due to time constraints, he couldn't expand coverage to the entire world.
The Four Seas were too far away—there was no time to set up signals.
The Grand Line was selectively covered, focusing on major locations.
The New World—since he had connections with the Four Emperors, they agreed to allow the broadcast.
The Underground World—having ties with various factions, a few phone calls were enough to stir curiosity.
As a result, the setup process went smoothly.

Meanwhile, as the broadcast went live—
"What the hell is Morgans up to? Why did he notify so many people to watch?"
"If Morgans went this far, it must be something big! He wouldn't open a live stream for nothing!"
"Wait, there's a picture now! It's… Judicial Island?!"
"Judicial Island? What does this mean? Is something happening there?"
Countless people tuned in with confusion.
When they saw Judicial Island looking completely normal, they became even more puzzled.
What big event was supposed to happen here?

"Have we prepared the Devil Fruit inventory?"
After an entire day of deliberation, the Five Elders finally compiled the list of Fruits they would offer to Itachi.
This time, they couldn't afford to be as careless as when they exchanged Aokiji—there was no room for deception.
It was clear—If Itachi wasn't satisfied, he wouldn't accept the deal.
And if that happened—he would execute their captives.
They had no choice but to offer high-value Fruits, despite how much it pained them.
"What if Uchiha Itachi still refuses?"
One of the Elders asked cautiously.
It was highly likely that Itachi would push for even greater demands.
They needed to be prepared.
"Hmph!"
"We've offered two Ancient Zoans and one Logia!"
"Isn't that enough?!"
Marcus Mars, the tall, white-haired Elder, scowled.
He wasn't angry at his peers—his rage was directed at Itachi's blatant extortion.
"Calm down."
"Right now, our priority is to stall for time."
"We'll let Lord Imu decide the final course of action."
"As much as I hate to admit it…"
"We simply don't have the means to deal with Uchiha Itachi."
His voice was heavy with frustration.
Upon hearing this, the other Four Elders fell silent.
For centuries, they had ruled from above, never once facing a genuine threat.
They had always dismissed Itachi as an insignificant upstart from the East Blue.
But now—that very same "nobody" was humiliating them on a global scale.
And they couldn't do anything about it.
It was infuriating.
Suddenly—
Buru Buru Buru!
The special Den Den Mushi rang.
"Elders, we've just received intel that Morgans has begun a live broadcast—"
"He's showing footage of Judicial Island!"
"We don't know his intentions. What are your orders?"
A CP0 intelligence officer reported.
"Understood. Let's observe the situation first."
Shepherd Ju Peter, the Elder holding a long sword, answered.
The other Elders had already overheard the call and didn't object to his decision.
They needed to assess the situation before taking action.
To gather intelligence, they connected to Morgans' broadcast.
The Five Elders watched the screen.
At that moment, the entire world was watching as well.

Meanwhile, high above Judicial Island—
Uchiha Itachi stood atop one of the floating islands.
Beneath him—100,000 armored warriors.
Above him—a sky filled with floating land masses.
The stage was set.
The curtain was about to rise.
And the world was about to witness history.
