"You offended the Abbot and still think you can run? No, I should say, you've offended medid you really think you could still live a good life? You can spend the rest of your days as Teletubbies. If I hadn't kept you around to deal with pirates, I would have crushed you along with CP0 and the God's Knights back then."
"I'm going to be in the One Piece World for a month. Where should I go during this time? Maybe travel to other seas? It feels like there isn't much fun to be had here. I can't exactly just charge over to the World Government and give them a good hammer blow, can I?"
"Even though that would end things quickly, it feels a bit meaningless. I'm not some crazed murderer, after all. So, where to play? This world has its specialties: Devil Fruits, the Mink Tribe, the Giant Tribe, and Mermaids."
Qiu Xia's eyes darted around. "Or... during this month, I could pack the Giants and those other races into my Small World and bring them back to the Land of Demons. If I do that, the Land of Demons will definitely need an expansion."
If Qiu Xia truly intended to take these races away, Fish-Man Island alone would be quite a handful. Its area was likely larger than the current Land of Demons, not to mention Elbaf, the kingdom where the Giants lived.
After returning to the One Piece World, Qiu Xia did not go to meet Kuina, nor did he go looking for trouble with the Marines. Instead, he began tracking down the Mink Tribe and the Giant Tribe. The Mink Tribe was located near Wano Country, on the back of a giant elephant.
As for the location of the Giant Village, he could obtain that from the memories of the two Giant warriors dueling on that small island. Of course, when dealing with those two, Qiu Xia couldn't use a Soul Search; a gentle Heart-Seizing Art was more than enough.
Having made up his mind, Qiu Xia began implementing his plan. The world within his Rinnegan grew alongside his own power. By now, its scope had expanded to the size of a vast province. While he couldn't fit the entire One Piece World inside, it was more than enough to hold a few selected races.
The day before he was set to depart, Qiu Xia completed his primary objectives. Only Fish-Man Island remained. Just as he had done with the Mink Tribe, the Skypieans of the Angel Race, and the Giant Tribe, Qiu Xia used Taoist Arts to knock them unconscious before pulling them into his world. Once finished, he found a random spot to enter a deep sleep.
Upon awakening in the Naruto World, Qiu Xia began his arrangements. His first act was to toss out all the spies who had been monitoring the Land of Demons. Then, he expanded the barrier of the Land of Demons. The neighboring Land of Snow, Land of Mountains, and Land of Bears were all enveloped by the barrier. Even portions of the Land of Wind and the Land of Earth were incorporated.
As for the people originally living in those nations, Qiu Xia began brainwashing them once they were within the barrier. Naturally, his targets were the rulers and the ninjas; he didn't care much about brainwashing the commoners.
After expanding the territory and settling the new residents, Qiu Xia arranged the people and islands he had brought from the One Piece World. Fish-Man Island and the Giant Kingdom were placed near the sea. The Skypieans were situated high in the sky above the ocean. Since Qiu Xia hadn't brought the giant elephant, Zunisha, the Mink Tribe was moved directly into the new territory of the Land of Demons.
In addition to settling their lands, Qiu Xia also spoke with the high-ranking members of each race, letting them know they had arrived in a new world. Most were indifferent, but two races stood out.
One was the Mink Tribe; their leaders, the Cat and Dog, were quite unhappy. The Fish-Men, however, were overjoyed. Although they were no longer in the One Piece World, they still had the sky and sunlight, and more importantly, no one was hunting themat least not under the protection of the Land of Demons.
The expansion of the Land of Demons' territory greatly displeased the Daimyo of the Land of Wind and the Land of Earth. they wanted to enter the borders to negotiate and reprimand the expansion, but they found it impossible to step inside. Even after deploying ninjas from the two Hidden Villages, they were powerless against the barrier of the Land of Demons.
Returning from the One Piece World to the Naruto World, Qiu Xia had brought various races and expanded his territory. During his time resting in the Land of Demons, he rounded up a large number of rogue ninjas and regular shinobi from across the land and scattered them into the One Piece World. To ensure these ninjas didn't harm the civilians there, he dumped them directly into the New World.
Since Qiu Xia had taken things from the One Piece World, it was only natural to give something back. Even if Qiu Xia chose to be a deadbeat, the Heavenly Dao of the One Piece World had no way to deal with him, but Qiu Xia wasn't that kind of person; he preferred a fair trade.
Beyond leaving ninjas behind, he also collected orphans from across the One Piece World to teach them Taoist Arts and martial arts. Simultaneously, he refined the three types of Haki, making it much easier for them to cultivate those powers.
Over the following years, Qiu Xia frequented the One Piece World to gather and train orphans. In the Naruto World, he continued to dump rogue ninjas and those who were dissatisfied with their lives into the One Piece World.
This circulation between the two worlds allowed Qiu Xia to obtain a significant amount of Origin Power. If it weren't for the fact that his layout in the One Piece World wasn't yet complete, he likely would have entered seclusion long ago to add that Origin Power to his cultivation technique.
When there was only half a year left until Naruto's graduation and seven or eight months before Luffy set out to sea, Qiu Xia saw that the time was right. He began consuming Origin Power to upgrade his cultivation technique.
As Qiu Xia's technique leveled up, starlight once again descended upon the Shinobi World. Under the illumination of this starlight, the plants grew taller and the animals became much stronger;
both flora and fauna gained a certain level of spirituality. The physiques of the people in the Shinobi World were significantly enhanced, and the Chakra of the ninjas increased dramatically. Some ninjas with Kekkei Genkai even found their bloodline limits fully awakened during this process.
The previous upgrade had taken three months, but this time it lasted six. For the people, plants, and animals of the Shinobi World, these six months represented a massive transformation. Originally, the average person in this world was only slightly stronger than a person from Earth. Now, their physical constitutions had leaped to the level of elite Marine soldiers from the One Piece World.
As for the ninjas, six months of starlight had produced many Kage-level experts. Many of them had reached that level by merging attributes to create new Kekkei Genkai. While Kage-level fighters were appearing in abundance, only two reached the level of Beyond Kage: Jiraiya and Nagato Uzumaki.
Nagato achieved this because he possessed Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan. Under the starlight, Nagato's flawed and damaged divine physique was repaired, and the burden the Rinnegan placed on him was resolved.
As for Jiraiya, it was because he practiced Sage Mode. Even though his level of Sage Mode wasn't originally high, he had still mastered the basics. Under the starlight, the Chakra in Jiraiya's body was directly replaced by Natural Energy, allowing him to advance to the rank of Beyond Kage.
Although Nagato's strength had surged, he didn't dare to act rashly before figuring out Qiu Xia's attitude. While the Rinnegan gave him great confidence, it hadn't turned him into a fool. He didn't believe that just because he had a pair of Rinnegan,
he could surpass someone capable of plunging the entire Shinobi World into starlight at a whim. After all, Nagato had secretly tried to strike the barrier with Shinra Tensei, and the fact that it remained completely unscathed proved that the other party's strength was overwhelming.
Therefore, no matter how much Obito Uchiha and Black Zetsu urged him, Nagato refused to begin the plan. Furthermore, their constant badgering made Nagato realize something was off, making him even more vigilant against the duo.
In the past, Obito and Black Zetsu might have considered replacing him under such circumstances, but the hidden hands they had left on Nagato had already been broken by the starlight. Although Obito's spatial Dojutsu was powerful, it was impossible to pull off a successful sneak attack while Nagato was on high alert. Thus, they could only remain stalled.
