Chapter 47 CC Assassin Luffy Awakens God PowerLuffy instantly lost consciousness upon seeing this.
To everyone else, C.C., who was passionately kissing Luffy, suddenly pulled out a gleaming dagger and plunged it directly into Luffy's chest without hesitation!
"What are you doing!?"
Everyone screamed in shock, their voices trembling.
But it was too late. Luffy, struck right in the heart, collapsed to the ground amidst the stunned and enraged expressions of the crowd!
[Ding! Congratulations to host Lelouch vi Britannia, ZERO template restoration accuracy has reached 100%]
An unknown amount of time passed.
The Going Merry drifted aimlessly along its course like a headless fly.
Nami was now a sobbing mess, with Luffy lying motionless before her, his chest covered in blood.
Sanji sat at the dining table, chain-smoking, the ashtray overflowing with cigarette butts.
Zoro gripped his Wado Ichimonji tightly in anger, the veins on the back of his hand bulging.
Vivi huddled in a corner, too terrified by the suffocatingly heavy atmosphere in the cabin to utter a single word.
Suddenly, Usopp rushed in, his face deathly pale: "Something's wrong! That woman's gone!"
Boom!
"What?!"
Zoro angrily slammed his hand on the table in front of him, shattering it to pieces. "How could she be gone? Did you slack off and go to sleep?"
Usopp cried out his innocence, tears welling in his eyes: "How could that be! I watched her without blinking for a full 10 hours, and she just vanished into thin air!"
Zoro grabbed Usopp by the collar and dashed towards the cargo hold.
Sure enough, C.C., who had been tightly bound, was now just a pile of broken ropes on the floor.
"How could this be?"
Zoro's face was ashen. "They actually let the murderer who killed Luffy escape?"
Usopp, standing to the side, lowered his head in shame, wishing he could disappear into the ground.
Just then, an immense, suffocatingly terrifying aura instantly swept across the entire Going Merry!
That terrifying pressure instantly engulfed everyone. Usopp didn't even utter a sound before his eyes rolled back and he collapsed to the ground.
Zoro, his face filled with horror, stared intently at the direction of the Going Merry's cabins, his voice trembling: "What kind of monster-level aura is this?"
He gritted his teeth and forced himself to rush to the upper deck, only to find Nami and Vivi unconscious.
Only Sanji was still struggling, cold sweat pouring down his forehead, desperately resisting the suffocating pressure.
"Hey! What's going on in there?"
Zoro, both shocked and furious, turned and yelled at Sanji, who was panting heavily.
Sanji struggled to raise his hand and pointed behind Zoro, his expression one of utter disbelief.
Zoro whirled around, his pupils contracting sharply.
Luffy, who should have been dead, was now sitting cross-legged, his brow furrowed, rubbing his temples in pain.
And that terrifying, almost tangible aura was none other than the legendary awakened Conqueror's Haki!
"Hiss... My head feels like it's going to explode, it hurts like hell!"
Luffy felt like countless bees were buzzing in his head; he struggled to open his heavy eyelids.
His gaze gradually focused, and he looked around, seeing Zoro and Sanji slumped on the floor, looking dazed, and Nami and the others lying on the floor beside them.
"Huh? Was our ship robbed? Why are you all like this?"
Luffy looked bewildered, his eyes darting strangely between the terrified Zoro and Sanji.
"Why are Nami and the others sleeping on the deck? The sea breeze is so strong, they could easily catch a cold."
Luffy chuckled sheepishly, scratching his head, and got up to carry the two girls back to their cabin to rest.
But then, a flash of cold light appeared, and Zoro's Wado Ichimonji instantly appeared, blocking Nami's path: "Are you human or a demon? Stand right there!"
Luffy looked completely bewildered, tilting his head to look at the menacing Zoro: "Moss Head, are you out of your mind? I just took a nap!"
Zoro nodded his chin towards Luffy's chest, gesturing for him to look down.
Luffy looked down in confusion, only to find himself covered in dried, dark red blood, with a large hole in the middle of his clothes.
"Holy crap! What happened?"
Luffy screamed in fright, hurriedly pulling aside his torn clothing to check his injuries.
However, the expected fatal wound hadn't appeared; only a faint pink scar remained on his chest.
"Who the hell was stabbing me for fun?"
Luffy touched the healed scar, his mind filled with questions.
Zoro looked at him like he was an idiot: "Don't you know? It was that woman named C.C., one second she was all lovey-dovey, the next she stabbed you."
These words instantly triggered Luffy's memory, and the scenes he had witnessed in that eerie memory corridor before he lost consciousness flooded back.
Luffy jolted, blurting out, "Where's C.C.? Where did she go?"
Zoro slowly sheathed his sword, shaking his head. "I don't know. She vanished into thin air just now."
Luffy's heart pounded. He frantically called out to the system panel in his mind, searching for the previous notification.
[Ding! Congratulations, host! The Lelouch vi Britannia and ZERO template restoration accuracy has reached 100%!]
[Ding! The Lelouch vi Britannia and ZERO template validity period has expired.]
[Due to the 100% restoration accuracy, a special hidden reward is being randomly drawn...]
[Congratulations on obtaining the legendary hidden reward: God's Power Code!]
[Immediately start the next round of template random drawing?]
"It really is this!"
Luffy stared at the system notification flashing on his retina, his shock beyond words.
To awaken the monstrous power of Code, besides the conventional method of a Geass user with two eyes killing the original Code holder, there is an extremely rare way.
That is, the Code holder forcibly transfers their Code imprint to the Geass contractor.
C.C. was forcibly given this power by the previous generation's insane nun, and the price was the Code holder's suicide to escape this fate.
However, this forceful adoption method has a fatal flaw: if the successor's willpower isn't strong enough, they simply cannot bear the power of the Code.
Fortunately, Luffy has lived two lives, making his soul strength extraordinary, and this body possesses top-tier Conqueror's Haki aptitude.
But he never expected that this bug-level ability, not originally in the template skill list, could actually be obtained through drawing!
And he actually stumbled upon it by sheer luck!
This is absolutely the strongest trump card he's acquired since transmigrating to the One Piece world, bar none!
If Geass is the "power of kings" that interferes with the consciousness of others,
whether it's mind reading, predicting behavior, or modifying memories, it's essentially about breaking down the mental barriers of others.
Then the Code is the "power of gods" that transcends the rules.
The physical immortality granted by the Code is merely a facade.
Its essence is to "fix" the host's existence, transcending the cycle of life and death in the world.
Life originates from the source, and returns to the source after death—it's a closed loop.
But the Code is like a stubborn nail, firmly fixed in the present world, absolutely forbidding its host from returning to the origin.
In plain terms, Luffy's physical state will be forever locked at its peak; he will only grow stronger, never age, and certainly never truly die!
From this moment on, Luffy is an immortal monster.
While this doesn't directly increase attack power, it's a perfect match for the Nika Fruit, a powerful Devil Fruit that relies on burning life force for explosive power!
In the original story, Luffy fought Kaido with his life on the line; now?
If Luffy wanted, he could even maintain Gear Fifth Awakening state for 24 hours straight!
Since this divine power will automatically restore his body to its peak, there's no such thing as overdrafting.
At this moment, only one thought was frantically flashing through Luffy's mind:
This is fucking heaven-defying! Invincible!
"Nami? Wake up! Nami-chan?"
Luffy crouched down, gently patting Nami's plump, collagen-rich cheeks.
After figuring out the situation, the most urgent thing was to wake up the navigator who had fainted from fright.
"Oh my god! A ghost! Help!"
Nami opened her eyes and let out a piercing scream, delivering a powerful punch with her eyes still closed, sending Luffy flying.
When Nami regained her senses and looked around, she found Luffy standing there, lively and energetic, rubbing his face.
The next second, she couldn't hold back anymore and threw herself into Luffy's arms, crying uncontrollably, snot and tears all over him.
"Waaah... You scared me to death! I thought you were really dead..."
Feeling the trembling body in his arms, Luffy felt a surge of warmth and guilt. This was truly a huge misunderstanding. If he had really died, how heartbroken his crew would have been.
Just as Luffy was pondering how to appease the girl, Nami in his arms suddenly changed her demeanor.
A barrage of fists rained down on him: "You dare flirt around like that! You dare sign those stupid contracts! You dare scare me!"
Seeing Nami's sudden outburst, Luffy finally understood the true power of "Nami's Punch" from the original story.
This was real damage that ignored defense!
He decisively activated his Gum-Gum Fruit powers in conjunction with Life Return, instantly transforming himself into a bruised and battered pig's head.
Sure enough, seeing Luffy's miserable state, Nami quickly calmed down and couldn't bring herself to hit him.
"Hmph! See if you dare to mess around again!"
Nami waved her small fists, threateningly.
Luffy, sporting a pig's head, laughed foolishly: "I won't dare, I won't dare again, please have mercy, heroine."
At this moment, the others gradually woke up. Usopp rubbed the back of his head, groaning: "Ouch...it feels like someone hit my head with a giant sledgehammer...Holy crap! He's back from the dead!!"
Usopp saw Luffy and was so startled his eyes almost popped out of their sockets, jumping three feet into the air.
Once everyone calmed down, Luffy selectively explained to them how C.C. had given him her superpower, Code.
"What?!"
Upon hearing the explanation, everyone's jaws nearly dropped to the deck, erupting in a deafening gasp.
"You mean...you're immortal now?!"
Zoro squinted, his hand on the hilt of his sword, looking eager to try it out. "How about I cut into it to test its quality?"
Luffy rolled his eyes. "...Get lost!"
Nami and Vivi, however, stared at Luffy's face with envious eyes. "So, you'll never get wrinkles, and your skin will always be this smooth and supple?"
Sanji took a deep drag of his cigarette, exhaled a smoke ring, and offered a highly constructive, devilish suggestion: "Does that mean if we ever run out of food, we can slice you up and eat you? You can always grow back anyway."
Luffy gave him the middle finger: *f***ing ugh*
"Believe it or not, I'll stew you first!"
After a period of playful banter, the previously tense atmosphere on the Going Merry dissipated, replaced by a joyful air.
Whether they truly believed Luffy was immortal was something only they themselves knew.
Nami slapped her cheeks, regaining her energy: "Alright! Let's replan our route! Next stop!"
The others were taken aback: "Weren't we heading towards the next island?"
Nami gave them a disdainful look: "Luffy was 'dead' just now, how could I be in the mood to look at the compass and steer?"
The others roared in frustration: "So you're planning to drag the whole crew down with Luffy?!"
"Oh, don't worry about the details," Nami stuck out her tongue and hurriedly ran to the cockpit.
These ten hours of deviation had made them even further from Little Garden.
"We're just killing time anyway, anyone want to go fishing?"
Luffy, carrying a fishing rod, asked enthusiastically.
"Me! Me! Me!"
Usopp was the first to raise his hand.
Sanji stood up, brushing the dust off his pants. "I'll go to the kitchen and get some leftover scraps from making bait."
Zoro rolled his eyes at the group of energetic guys, found a shady corner to lie down and catch up on his sleep. He, as the first mate, had been working himself to the bone trying to calm down these emotionally unstable crew members.
A moment later, Sanji's exclamation echoed from the kitchen: "Wait, the bait bucket's empty!"
Luffy, whistling guiltily, stammered, "Ah... well, I think I fed it to the ducks earlier."
Sanji burst out carrying the empty bucket: "Huh? You fed the ducks the bait? What are we going to fish with? Your leg hair?!"
Luffy, quick-witted as ever, suggested, "How about... we try using the ducks as bait?"
Sanji's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands: "Hey? That's a great idea!"
The fast-running duck nearby froze: Quack ???
Suddenly, a farcical "three men chasing a duck" scene unfolded on the deck.
"Don't run! Stop!"
"Be a good boy and act as bait, then we'll share the sea king's ass with you!"
"Quack! Quack! Quack! Help!"
Nami, annoyed by the commotion outside, flung open the window and yelled at the group, "You guys better stop this!!"
Vivi, watching the chaotic scene on deck, said to Luffy with a hint of exasperation, "It's hard to believe this guy is a supernova commodore heavily promoted by the Navy. He doesn't look like a proper Navy officer at all."
Nami couldn't help but laugh, "Indeed, who would expect the famous Navy rookie to be such a goofball?"
Zoro, standing below with his eyes closed, waved his hand, "No, after this incident, the whole world probably knows Luffy is a nepotistic, low-ranking Navy officer who got his position through connections."
Nami, recalling the scene from the Marine Headquarters exercises, nodded in deep agreement.
Vivi, standing to the side, watched the two exchanging cryptic remarks with a blank expression, completely baffled by the joke.
"But speaking of which, Luffy is actually quite reliable when he's serious." Nami's mind conjured up the image of Luffy single-handedly fighting Arlong Park for her sake, and a gentle smile unconsciously curved her lips.
"Eh?" Vivi keenly caught this hint of emotion, mischievously poking Nami's waist. "You don't actually like him, do you?"
Nami instantly blushed like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, glaring fiercely at Vivi: "No way I'd like that womanizing scumbag! Humph!"
With that, to cover her embarrassment, Nami turned and ran to take the helm.
"You bunch of idiots, have you had enough?!"
Zoro cried out in pain, as Sanji, who was running around, stepped on his stomach. "If you have nowhere to vent your energy, go train! Otherwise, some little brat will stab you through the back!"
Luffy rolled his eyes at Zoro: "You call a thousand-year-old woman a little brat? She's older than your ancestors for eighteen generations."
Zoro was speechless for a moment: "..."
*Sizzle!*
"Fine, anyway, this silly duck probably won't catch any real fish. I'll go make some special drinks, anyone want some?"
Sanji casually let go of the already terrified Runaway and turned to walk towards the kitchen.
But as soon as Runaway heard the word "drinks," he immediately forgot his fear and followed after him, quacking and wagging his tail.
"Me!"
"Me too!"
Luffy and Zoro both raised their hands to order.
Only Vivi, watching this excessively leisurely group, turned somewhat displeased.
Her country was in dire straits, yet these people acted as if they were on vacation.
Just then, Nami smiled and handed her a glass of colorful juice, softly comforting her, "Trust Luffy, at least the time on this ship will allow you to temporarily forget a lot of your troubles, right?"
Vivi took the drink, her gaze complex as she watched the group fooling around below.
"Oh ho! Look, this duck can actually drink with a straw!"
"Give it another one! Fill it up, fill it up!"
With a plop, the drunken "Running Fast" collapsed onto the deck, seeing stars.
"Hahaha! This silly duck, doesn't it know there's alcohol in it? Hahaha!"
"The opportunity has come! Quick, tie him up and throw him into the sea to catch Sea Kings!"
"Heave-ho! Here we go!"
Vivi watched this scene, veins throbbing on her forehead: "..."
"You bunch of bastards, that's enough! Put my Running Fast down!"
Just then, a huge splash erupted on the sea, and a massive dolphin leaped out of the water.
The group, who had been playfully bickering, froze, all turning to look at the sky.
"Wow! What adorable dolphins!"
"Adorable my foot, idiots! Run! That size will capsize the ship if it crashes down!!"
Everyone instantly went into battle mode, the helmsman frantically turning the wheel, the sail pullers desperately tugging at the ropes!
Under Vivi's astonished gaze, the outline of a primeval island appeared on the horizon—Little Garden, they had arrived.
Luffy looked at the distant, undulating mountain range, resembling the spine of a giant beast, a flicker of awe in his eyes. Was this the ancient ecology unique to the pirate world?
One day, he too would be able to fully control this world-destroying power!
"System! Initiate the next round of template random selection immediately!"

As a phantom figure merged with his body, Luffy felt an immense, terrifying energy surge within him—chakra from the Naruto world!
Moreover, the amount of this chakra was several times more terrifying than the previous Kisame template, as vast as an abyss.
"Holy crap!?"
Luffy stared dumbfounded at the system notification in his mind. "Uzumaki Nagato? Six Paths of Pain?! This is a huge win!"
Luffy eagerly opened the system panel.

It really was the man who made Konoha feel pain!
Luffy stared at his impressive stats, his grin practically reaching his ears. He'd been figuring out how to quickly clear Little Garden, but the system had delivered a max-level character like Pain.
This was the most powerful villain in the early stages of Naruto! Although he was eventually defeated by Naruto's talk-no-jutsu, his feat of razing Konoha to the ground was undeniable!
Luffy's mind raced, and he leaped into the air, flying towards Little Garden under the bewildered gazes of Zoro and the others.
"What the hell? Did you just slap me? Did I see Luffy fly away?"
Sanji covered his face, turning to Zoro beside him, his expression one of utter disbelief.
*Slap!*
Zoro, expressionless, slapped him again. "Looks like it wasn't an illusion; that guy really did fly away."
"You damn green-haired bastard! You actually hit me?! You want to die?" Sanji roared, clutching his flushed cheek.
Zorro retorted without backing down: "Come on! You perverted cook! You're the one who asked me to hit you!"
