Yang Tao quietly landed on the warship. The officer in charge wasn't someone he had seen in the storyline before.
It looked like this ship was responsible for transporting prisoners to Impel Down since the cabins were packed with them.
Before long, Impel Down came into view—a massive fortress built in the middle of the sea. Towering walls kept those inside from escaping and outsiders from getting in.
The surrounding waters were filled with giant sea kings, making any thought of escape feel hopeless.
But for Yang Tao, who could fly, turn invisible, and dig through walls, there was no such thing as an unreachable place.
The warship soon passed through the enormous gates and entered the fortress. As the guards were busy escorting the prisoners, Yang Tao slipped inside the prison unnoticed.
Instead of taking the elevator and going down level by level, he checked his minimap and dug directly toward the Okama King's location.
"Man, these walls are tough—almost as hard as obsidian!" Yang Tao muttered as he dug, impressed by the fortress's construction. No wonder no one had ever managed to escape from Impel Down.
The chunks of wall he mined didn't turn into regular stone or any normal block from *Minecraft*. Instead, they had special names! The one in his hand even had "Impel Down Stone Wall" written on it.
After digging through a section, he placed the blocks back, and they instantly returned to their original state.
Following the minimap, he kept digging downward until he broke through.
Before he could even step out of the tunnel, he saw the Okama King standing there with a large group of people, all staring at him.
"Fufufu~! I thought the Marines found us! That scared me!" Ivankov exclaimed, striking a dramatic pose.
"Fufufu~! Not scared at all!"
The people around him, acting just as eccentric, started shouting too.
"Not scared at all!"
"Tricked again!"
"Fooled again!"
Yang Tao watched Ivankov's performance with a blank expression. The invisibility potion he had used earlier had worn off while digging, but he didn't bother using another one—there was no need.
At that moment, Ivankov suddenly turned serious. "Fufufu~! Boy, who are you? I've never seen you before! How did you get here?"
"Ivankov, I need your help with something."
"You need my help? Fufufu~! What's your name, boy?" Ivankov was curious about this mysterious newcomer. He had been keeping an eye on everything happening in Impel Down, yet he had never seen this person before.
Yang Tao introduced himself. "I'm Yang Tao, just a traveler, I guess."
"Boy, that's a strange name! So, what do you need my help with? And what do I get in return?"
"Ivankov, I need you to turn a man into a woman. It should be easy for you. Name your price," Yang Tao said, focused on his goal of turning Haku into a girl.
Just imagining Haku as a woman gave Yang Tao an odd sense of satisfaction.
"Fufufu~! Is someone looking to join our Newkama Land? If that's the case, no problem! Where is this person?" Ivankov perked up at the mention of gender transformation, getting excited without even asking for anything in return.
Yang Tao had already reached Newkama Land and was preparing to build a portal to bring Haku over.
"Ivankov, hold on a moment. I'll bring him here right now."
"Hurry back, boy!" A group of people had already started dancing in a bizarre way, ready to welcome their new "sister."
Yang Tao returned to his tunnel and widened it just enough to fit a portal. He had no plans to set up a base here—just a simple portal would do.
Back in his world, he found Haku still tending to the berry trees.
Yang Tao looked at him seriously and asked, "Haku, let me ask you something. Would you be willing to become a woman and stay by Zabuza's side forever?"
Seeing Yang Tao's serious expression, Haku suddenly felt nervous.
Even in a fight against the First and Second Hokage alongside Orochimaru, this man still had a calm and relaxed expression.
But now, for the first time, Haku saw a serious and focused look on his face, which made Haku nervous as well.
Then came Yang Tao's words.
Haku instantly turned into a blushing mess, just like Hinata.
"Umm, I'm willing!" Haku answered in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz.
Without hesitation, Yang Tao took Haku through a portal to the Kamabakka Kingdom.
"Ivankov, I've brought the person. Take a look!" Yang Tao called out as he arrived.
The Okama King, Ivankov, looked at Haku beside Yang Tao and was immediately shocked. "Fufufu! What a beautiful boy!" As someone with the Horm-Horm Fruit, Ivankov didn't mistake Haku for a girl.
"Boy, do you really want to become a girl? I think you already look perfect the way you are!" Ivankov admired Haku's beauty so much that he couldn't help but try to persuade him.
"No need, sir. I want to become a woman!" Haku had already been startled when he first saw Ivankov's enormous face.
But after experiencing Whitebeard's world and traveling between different dimensions, White's ability to accept the unexpected had grown a lot.
"Fufufu! Alright then, boy, get ready! I'm going to start!" Ivankov stretched out his hand, and sharp spikes formed on his fingers.
"Female hormones!" He jabbed his hand toward Haku.
"It's done!" Ivankov watched closely, waiting for Haku's transformation.
But after a long time, nothing changed. Yang Tao looked at Ivankov in confusion. "What's going on? Did it fail?"
Ivankov laughed. "Fufufu! How could that be? This person was already a girl! What a miracle!"
"Really? Thanks a lot, Ivankov! If you ever need a favor, just let me know—I owe you one!"
Ivankov didn't realize how valuable a favor from Yang Tao could be. He just waved his hand casually. "No need to be polite. I'm happy to help with things like this. But boy, are you really not reconsidering?"
Yang Tao took a step back, breaking into a cold sweat. "No, no, no! I'm good! If I find anyone else, I'll send them your way!"
"Ivankov, I'm heading out. If anything comes up, you can have someone contact me here!"
With that, Yang Tao and Haku returned to his world.
"Haku, how do you feel?" Yang Tao asked curiously.
"It's… a strange feeling, but not bad," Haku replied, his voice sounding even softer than before.
It seemed Haku had already had a high level of female hormones before, which explained his delicate and feminine appearance.
Just then, Zabuza returned from mining!
Seeing Yang Tao and Haku talking, he walked over.
"Sir, I've collected a lot of minerals. You can check them anytime."
The moment Yang Tao saw Zabuza, he couldn't hold back his grin.
"Haha! Zabuza, perfect timing! I was just about to look for you! Hahaha!"
Zabuza stared at him, completely confused.
???
I'm not the one with a problem—you are!
After calming himself down, Yang Tao continued, "Remember what I promised you? I've done it!" He even winked at Zabuza.
Zabuza immediately looked at Haku. Yang Tao had only promised him two things: helping him save the Kirigakure ninjas, which Yang Tao hadn't done yet…
And turning Haku into a woman.
Could it be…?
Haku, who had been staring at Zabuza the whole time, gave a small nod.
Zabuza looked like he had just been struck by lightning.
Yang Tao watched Zabuza's reaction and looked very pleased.
"Zabuza, you don't have to mine anymore. You can find a spot and build a new house! You and Haku can move in together!" Yang Tao said to Zabuza.
The usually cold and ruthless swordsman couldn't help but blush.
Yang Tao added, "Oh, and one more thing! Just so you know, Haku is only 15 this year. If you try anything before he turns 20, I'll turn you into a woman too! Hahaha!"
After saying that, Yang Tao flew off into the distance to keep searching for a Master Ball, leaving the two staring at each other in silence.
