Naruto: In Konoha Village, I awakened Wood Release at the start.

The first half of the Grand Line.

The sea area ravaged by the storm.

Three enormous sailing ships cut through the waves, their sails bearing the emblem of the Province of Earth.

Onoki floated in mid-air.

The old man rubbed his lower back, clearly displeased with the terrible weather.

A medium-sized island appears ahead.

Thick smoke billowed from the port, and flames shot into the sky.

A pirate crew is wreaking havoc in the town.

The pirate flag features a tusked boar, which is the symbol of the "Mad Fang Pirates".

Captain Buck has a bounty of 150 million Berries.

He is a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user with the Ino-Ino Fruit and the Wild Boar form, possessing thick skin and tough flesh.

The town's guard force had already been routed.

Buck grabbed a civilian and opened his blood-red mouth, ready to bite him.

A shadow suddenly fell from mid-air.

Onoki looked down at the scene below, his face full of disgust.

This kind of trash who relies on brute force to commit evil everywhere doesn't even deserve to be cannon fodder in the empire.

"Clean up the loess."

Onoki had no interest in even making a move.

The massive body of loess landed with a crash, raising a cloud of dust.

Buck was startled and casually threw away the civilians.

He stared intently at the man in front of him, whose body was even more robust than his own, his eyes bloodshot.

"Where did this idiot come from?"

Buck roared, and his body instantly swelled up, transforming into a giant wild boar four meters tall.

Armament Haki covered his fangs, giving them a metallic sheen.

He strode forward, like a heavy tank charging towards the yellow earth.

Huang Tu neither dodged nor avoided, and quickly formed hand seals.

Earth Escape·Earth Escape!

A thick rock wall rises abruptly from the ground.

Buck slammed into the rock wall with a deafening roar.

The rock face remained completely still.

Buck's fangs, however, were broken off.

Before Buck could react...

The loess formed a seal again, pressing one hand to the ground.

Earth Escape·Yellow Quan Marsh!

The ground beneath Buck's feet instantly turned into a swamp, sucking his massive body in.

The more you struggle, the deeper you sink.

Huang Tu snorted coldly and leaped into the air.

He clenched his fists, gathering chakra in his arms.

Earth Release: Super Heavy Rock Technique!

The fist, imbued with immense force, slammed into Buck's skull.

boom!

Buck's head smashed directly into his chest cavity, and his massive body collapsed with a thud.

A notorious pirate with a bounty of 150 million was instantly killed with a single punch.

Upon seeing this.

The rest of the pirates were completely dumbfounded.

Their captain, whom they were so proud of, couldn't even withstand a single move from his opponent.

Terrified screams erupted.

The pirates dropped their weapons and fled desperately toward the sea.

Just then.

A white clay bird flew in from the sky.

Deidara stood on the bird's back, laughing wildly.

"Trying to run away?"

"Try my art!"

Countless tiny, explosive clay particles continuously fell into the pirate horde.

drink!

The continuous explosions echoed throughout the town.

Flames shot into the sky, and severed limbs flew everywhere.

Less than three minutes.

The Mad Fang Pirates were completely wiped out.

Onoki landed slowly and nodded to the yellow earth.

"Leave a small squad behind to pacify the civilians and establish a base."

The rest of you, keep moving forward.

This was just a minor incident on the road to conquering the province of Earth.

……

At the same time.

Another sea area along the Grand Line.

Thick fog blanketed the area, reducing visibility to less than ten meters.

Neji Hyuga led several dozen Hyuga clan members and stood on the deck.

This is their home ground.

"Young Master Neji."

"A large naval base has been spotted three kilometers ahead."

A member of the Hyuga clan closed his Byakugan and reported loudly.

Hyuga Neji crossed his arms over his chest and activated his Byakugan.

With eyes piercing through the thick fog, the defenses within the naval base were clearly visible.

Three hundred naval soldiers, eight heavy cannons, and one base commander.

The base is heavily fortified.

But these defenses are useless in the face of disdain.

"Prepare to land on the island."

Neji's tone was flat.

The sailboat approached the harbor silently.

The navy's lookout towers had no idea that this ghostly warship was there.

The Hyuga clan members shot over the high wall like arrows released from a bow.

A piercing alarm suddenly went off.

The naval soldiers panicked, grabbed their muskets, and fired blindly.

Bullets flew wildly through the air.

The Hyuga clan members moved swiftly, easily dodging all projectiles.

They charged into the crowd, chakra surging from their fingertips.

Soft Fist Technique: Eight Trigrams Thirty-Two Palms!

Bang bang bang!

The dull, resounding blows continued in unison.

The naval soldier didn't even have time to cry out before collapsing limply.

This was a completely one-sided massacre.

The base commander, a senior colonel, charged out of the main building wielding a famous sword.

He is proficient in both types of Haki and can be considered a major figure in the first half of the Grand Line.

"Arrogant thugs!"

The colonel roared, and jet-black Armament Haki enveloped the blade.

He leaped up and slashed at Neji.

Neji Hyuga remained expressionless, adopting the starting stance of Gentle Fist.

Baguazhang - Reversing Heaven!

Blue chakra forms a hemisphere of absolute defense.

The colonel's strike landed in the air, as if it had struck an indestructible steel plate.

The immense recoil tore his hand, causing the famous sword to slip from his grasp.

The colonel retreated in terror, his face filled with disbelief.

Devil Fruit user?

Or is it some kind of strange martial art?

Neji Hyuga didn't give him any time to think.

He stepped forward and moved closer to the colonel like a ghost.

His hands moved like afterimages, precisely striking the colonel's major acupoints.

The Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!

The colonel coughed up a mouthful of blood and immediately lost consciousness.

Less than ten minutes.

The entire naval base was completely controlled by the Hyuga clan.

……

Let's look at the battlefield between the three races: Pig, Deer, and Butterfly.

A once bustling island is now eerily silent.

The island is ruled by a gangster family with thousands of soldiers.

They occupied the high-rise buildings and set up machine gun positions.

The gang leader, a cigar dangling from his lips, hid in the safe room on the top floor.

He thought that this would ensure everything would be foolproof.

But he had no idea about the methods of ninjas.

downstairs.

Akimichi Choza swallowed a specially made soldier's ration pill, and his body swelled up rapidly.

Hyper-expansion technique!

A giant tens of meters tall rose from the ground.

With a single slap, the sturdy machine gun emplacement was instantly reduced to ruins.

The gangsters were terrified and fled frantically.

Sudden.

Countless black shadows suddenly spread across the ground.

Nara Shikaku forms hand seals.

Shadow Imitation!

Hundreds of gang members were frozen in place, unable to move.

Yamanaka Inoichi stood beside Shikaku.

The Mind Transfer Technique is activated.

His spiritual entity directly invaded the mind of a high-ranking gang member.

"The password to the vault is..."

"The leader is in the top-floor safe room..."

Important intelligence was quickly extracted.

Shika made a hand gesture, and the shadow instantly tightened.

The gang members all lost consciousness.

Ding took a big step and smashed the wall of the top-floor safe room with a single punch.

The gang leader didn't even have time to draw his gun before he was held in mid-air by a giant finger.

The coordination between the three races—Pig, Deer, and Butterfly—is so smooth that there are no blind spots.

Politics, intelligence, and military force.

This commercial island was incorporated into the empire's territory in just half a day.

……

The conquest of the Wind Province also went smoothly.

A vast expanse of yellow sand enveloped a desolate rocky island.

A pirate alliance, numbering over two thousand, is stationed here.

Several pirate captains with bounties exceeding 100 million gathered together, attempting to resist.

Luo Sha stood on a cloud of golden sand, floating in mid-air.

He looked down at the ants below, his eyes filled with indifference.

Magnetic Escape·Golden Burial!

Endless gold dust surged towards the pirate camp like a tsunami.

Armament Haki?

Faced with this overwhelming gold dust, individual defenses are meaningless.

The gold dust instantly buried thousands of pirates.

An immense pressure crushed them instantly.

Gaara stood on a high rock, arms crossed over his chest.

The sand around him seemed to be alive, constantly flowing.

A sand waterfall funeral procession!

The surviving pirates were tightly enveloped in yellow sand.

With Gaara's forceful grip, a dull thud of bones cracking echoed throughout the island.

Blood seeped from the sand, staining the ground red.

Rasa snorted coldly and withdrew his chakra.

The methods employed by the Wind Province have always been simple and brutal.

……

at the same time.

On the surface of the Grand Line.

A large fleet is sailing smoothly.

The Uchiha clan's fan-shaped emblem fluttered on the main ship.

Fugaku Uchiha stood at the bow of the ship, enjoying the sea breeze.

Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Itachi, and Uchiha Sasuke stood on either side.

For this expedition, the Uchiha clan dispatched its absolute main force.

Just then.

A magnificent fleet of ships appeared on the horizon ahead.

The main ship was enormous, painted entirely in a dazzling gold.

There was even a luxurious palace built on the deck, and the World Government's cross flag flew on the mast.

"It's a Celestial Dragon's ship."

Shisui narrowed his eyes, his tone icy.

He had killed a Celestial Dragon in the West Blue and had no liking for such self-important trash.

Charlos Saint, a Celestial Dragon, was lying on a deck chair.

The CP0 agent stood respectfully to the side.

"grown ups."

"There is an unidentified fleet ahead, and it is not flying the World Government flag."

The captain of the guard reported loudly.

Charles Saint picked his nose, looking impatient.

"Those who block my path, open fire and sink them!"

He doesn't care who's on the other end.

In this world, the Celestial Dragons are the absolute rulers.

"But, sir."

"The other party's origins are unknown; what if they are...?"

The captain of the guard hesitated for a moment.

boom!

Charles Saint drew his pistol and shot the captain of the guard through the knee.

"Do you dare disobey the Creator's command?"

"Fire! Blow them all to smithereens!"

The remaining guards trembled with fear and rushed toward the artillery position.

Boom boom boom!

Dozens of heavy artillery pieces opened fire simultaneously.

The jet-black shells, trailing long plumes of flame, crashed into the Uchiha fleet.

Fugaku Uchiha didn't even lift an eyelid.

Itachi stepped forward, and his three-tomoe Sharingan instantly transformed into intricate patterns.

Amaterasu!

Black flames appeared out of nowhere in mid-air.

Dozens of shells were completely ignited the moment they came into contact with the black flames.

The intense heat directly ignited the gunpowder inside the shell.

A dazzling sea of ​​fire exploded in mid-air.

The shockwave from the explosion didn't even budge the canvas of the Uchiha fleet.

"What?"

Charles Saint's eyes widened, and the grapes in his hand fell onto the deck.

CP0 agents were shocked.

"Enemy attack!"

"Protect Saint Charles!"

Four CP0 agents immediately drew their weapons and stood in front of the Celestial Dragon.

Armament Haki instantly covered his entire body.

Just then.

Shisui activated the Body Flicker Technique and vanished from the spot.

When he reappeared, he was already standing on the mast of the Celestial Dragons' flagship.

Emerald green chakra shot into the sky.

Susanoo, appear!

A massive chakra arm, wielding a spiral sword.

Shisui suddenly swung his longsword down.

The sword energy was like a rainbow, directly cleaving through the entire deck of the main ship.

Before the guards could even scream, they were torn to pieces by the sword energy.

Four CP0 agents withstood a sword strike.

They coughed up blood, flew backward, and slammed hard against the bulkhead.

One-hit kill.

The gap in strength is like a chasm.

"You...you dare to attack the Creator!"

Charles Saint fell to the ground, looking utterly disheveled.

Instead of being afraid, he jumped up and cursed.

"Where is the general?!"

"Quickly order the general to slaughter all these lowly people!"

The Uchiha fleet is approaching.

Uchiha Sasuke leaped into the air and landed steadily on the Celestial Dragons' deck.

He walked step by step toward Charles Saint.

Charlos Saint raised his pistol and fired several shots at Sasuke.

Bang bang bang!

The bullets struck Sasuke's lightning armor and bounced off.

Chidori Stream!

Sasuke drew the Kusanagi sword from his waist, its blade flashing with dazzling lightning.

"Untouchables? Creators?"

Sasuke snorted coldly, and his Mangekyou Sharingan slowly began to rotate.

That look, as if it were trash, finally instilled fear in Charles Saint.

"What...what are you going to do?"

"I am a god! If you kill me, the World Government will never let you get away with it!"

Charles Saint stumbled backward and fell hard into the puddle.

Sasuke walked up to him, looking down at him.

The Kusanagi sword was slowly raised.

"A mere pig dares to call itself a god?"

"Go to hell and give orders."

Swish!

A flash of sword light.

Charles Saint's head shot skyward.

The headless corpse gushed out large amounts of blood, staining the magnificent deck red.

The remaining slaves and guards were all paralyzed with fear on the ground.

The Celestial Dragons are dead!

In this world, this is tantamount to the sky falling.

Sasuke wiped the blood off the blade and sheathed the sword.

Without even glancing at the corpses on the ground, he turned and leaped back to the Uchiha flagship.

"Increase speed and continue forward."

Fugaku Uchiha issued the order.

The fleet continued to cut through the waves, leaving the remains of the Celestial Dragons far behind.

……

Mary Geoise.

The atmosphere was so oppressive it was suffocating.

Five elderly men sat solemnly at the large conference table.

An urgent intelligence report was placed in the center of the table.

"Charles Saint is dead..."

The five elders, wielding swords, laughed in fury, their withered hands gripping the hilts of their blades tightly.

"It's that group of thugs who call themselves an empire again!"

"The matter in the West Blue hasn't been resolved yet, and they dare to openly murder Celestial Dragons in the Grand Line!"

The five elders with long beards slammed their hands heavily on the table, instantly cracking several gaps in the solid wood surface.

"We must deploy our top combat forces to completely eliminate them!"

The Five Old Stars with the Eight-Character Mustache sighed.

"general?"

"Garp and Akainu are still in the other side's prison."

"The Navy can't even suppress the New World, how can they possibly deal with these monsters?"

The five blond elders frowned.

"Then let's deploy the Knights of God."

"This group possesses extremely strange powers; they can even directly attack Logia-type beings."

"If we do not eliminate it as soon as possible, it will endanger the foundation of the world government."

The Five Elders shook their heads.

"It's no use even if the Knights of God go."

"You haven't dealt with that man named Chiba."

"I still vividly remember that unfathomable sense of oppression."

A deathly silence fell over the meeting room.

Deploying a large army?

We can't beat them.

Should we just sit idly by?

The Celestial Dragons' authority has vanished completely.

The five elders holding swords suddenly stood up.

"There's no other way to go."

"Go to the Flower Pavilion to request an audience with Lord Im."

The other four exchanged glances and nodded silently.

The five of them got up and walked along the long corridor covered with red carpet toward the deepest part of Pangu City.
