At this moment, they were on a deserted island where no humans could be seen.
This kind of cross-world travel was random. But perhaps because of that, it was convenient, in the very least, it helped them avoid the awkwardness they experienced back in the Naruto World.
"Clear all the beasts off this island and establish a nation." Qin Yi gave the order calmly.
Compared to the Naruto World, starting off in the Pirate World was clearly much easier. A deserted island was the perfect foundation to begin building a country.
Occupying this island and successfully founding a nation would make everything afterward much simpler.
Ten thousand soldiers, and all of them were the most elite troops of Qin's Nation. Dealing with this island naturally wasn't too difficult. Within an hour, the roars of beasts echoed from the dense forest, interspersed with the sounds of giant creatures collapsing to the ground. Soon after, everything quieted down.
"With this island as our base, we shall found a nation. Its name, Qin's Nation!"
King's Strength radiated from Qin Yi, and a faint but commanding aura of King's Might spread out as he declared the establishment of a new kingdom in the Pirate World.
However, just moments later, his brow furrowed.
"No response?"
Qin's Nation had been established, but it was completely different from when he was in the Naruto World. The mysteriously binding King's World rules gave him no feedback at all. In other words, his attempt to begin in this world had ended in failure.
"What's going on?"
Qin Yi fell into deep thought, but he couldn't figure it out.
As a King, his means of conquest were to invade Other-Dimension Worlds, establish nations, conquer and fuse civilizations. This was how his own country grew stronger, and how he increased his own power.
Establishing a nation was a means to that end, but now, this method had unexpectedly failed?
Just then, in the Parliamentary Institute, the black-silk loli, Qing You, walked over.
"Has Your Majesty failed?"
The usually lively loli was now giving off a cold and distant vibe, which mildly surprised Qin Yi.
"Yes. Qin's Nation has been successfully established, but it has had no effect," Qin Yi nodded.
He didn't hide it. The purpose of the Parliamentary Institute was to help him solve puzzles and problems he couldn't figure out.
"Regarding Your Majesty's method of conquering other dimensions and elevating civilizations, I've gathered some information and come to understand a few things."
Qing You's voice was frosty and emotionless, sending a chill into the air as she spoke.
"Oh? And what are your thoughts on the current situation?" Qin Yi asked curiously.
"Has Your Majesty ever considered… that just like founding a country and integrating civilizations is one method of raising our own civilization level, founding a nation is just that, a method?"
Qing You replied.
"Hmm? What do you mean?" Qin Yi was a bit confused.
"What Qing You is saying," Li Qingya walked over with a soft smile, "is that founding a nation is merely one method or model. To integrate the civilizations of Otherworlds, it's not always necessary to build a country."
Unlike Qing You's coldness, Li Qingya's refined and delicate features gave her an enchanting charm.
Qin Yi's eyes focused sharply as realization dawned on him.
"You mean…"
"Exactly! In some worlds, founding a nation is indeed the most effective way to acquire that world's civilization, or rather, its World Source."
"But in certain worlds… that may not be the case!"
Qing You said.
"In Our Understanding, Your Majesty's Fusion of Civilizations…"
"In our understanding, Your Majesty's so-called fusion of civilizations is, in fact, the fusion of certain World Sources from Other-Dimension Worlds! It is essentially a forced plunder, a fragment of their World Source, that is then merged into our own nation!"
"And to do that, Your Majesty must establish a power structure within the Otherworld that most aligns with that world's unique Source model!"
Li Qingya smiled sweetly, her eyes alluring and enchanting.
Qin Yi ignored the flirtatious glance, his mind was already clear.
In different worlds, he needed to establish the form of power that best fit that world's unique nature. Only by doing so could he gather and absorb the world's so-called Source to the fullest extent.
For example, in the Naruto world, he established a ninja village. In the Dragon Emperor World, it was a kingdom! These types of political systems were the most compatible with the World Source, so everything had worked smoothly.
So what about the Pirate World? What did he need to do?
The moment the thought arose, Qin Yi already had an idea.
"Well then, since the nation model is ineffective here, do you have any suggestions?" With a calm tone, Qin Yi posed the question.
Exchanging glances, the six people shared a brief silent discussion. Qing You was the first to speak:
"If our judgment is correct, the type of organization Your Majesty needs to build, should be related to the sea!"
"As for more details, please forgive us. The six of us lack enough intelligence to provide a definitive answer."
This time, Qin Yi was thoroughly satisfied with the six of them. Without a doubt, General Yang hadn't just picked them randomly, there had clearly been thought and purpose behind the selection.
These six indeed had true skill and knowledge.
"Your Majesty, if Lin Zhuo's guess is correct…"
"Then the answer can only be pirates!"
At that moment, one of the six, a calm and rational young man named Lin Zhuo, spoke up.
Qin Yi paused, surprised.
Yes, pirates! In this era of the Great Pirates, building a nation was completely useless. Unless he started a Revolutionary Army from scratch or joined the Marines, vying for power with Sengoku, the Three Admirals, and the World Government, his only real option… was to become a pirate.
He already knew this was the dominant force in this world, but how did Lin Zhuo know?
With a questioning glance, he looked toward the young man, who simply pointed out to sea.
On the ocean, several black dots appeared in Qin Yi's vision. Looking closely, Qin Yi was speechless.
Those black dots… were pirate ships, flying the skull-and-crossbones flag.
Just from seeing a few ships, this Lin Zhuo had so confidently made his report. Should Qin Yi praise him for being bold, or scold him for being ridiculous?
"Actually, Your Majesty doesn't necessarily have to conform to this world's Source."
"Establishing a nation should still be viable, it's just that Your Majesty hasn't yet reached the threshold required to tap into this world's Source power."
"If, one day, Your Majesty's nation becomes strong enough to reach a level that this World Source must recognize, "
"Then it will also succeed."
Wang Ye now spoke, his conclusion the result of deep contemplation.
Qin Yi nodded after hearing it: "Indeed, absolute strength crushes all tricks. That rule works anywhere!"
Trying to found a nation on a deserted island, without a single native person from this world? Of course it wasn't going to succeed.
After a brief discussion, Qin Yi felt more relaxed and at ease.
The creation of the Parliamentary Institute had indeed proven useful. Without it, he'd have to rack his brain over even simple matters.
His eyes narrowed slightly as he began to think.
"Pirates… Marines… Revolutionary Army… a Nation!"
"Which one should I choose?"
"And also… where are Madara and the others?"
At the same time Qin Yi and his group had just arrived in the Pirate World, somewhere in the first half of the Grand Line, near the seas around Water Seven,
A large and small ship were facing off against each other.
"Madara, he's just a kid! Why take him seriously?"
Qin Lin, one of Qin Yi's Three Generals, was trying hard to persuade him.
"And you, yes, you, the kid named Ace, hurry up and back down!"
"To provoke Madara... you'll die!"
