Naruto: The Infinite New World

Chapter 668 The Encounter Between Kino and the Straw Hat Crew

Wood touched the void with his hand.

Bullets appeared out of thin air, carrying intense energy, as if they were about to be fired at any moment.

The marines who were heading towards the tree stopped in their tracks.

"A Devil Fruit user?"

The snake-like officer stopped in his tracks, looking at Mu Zhi with suspicion and uncertainty.

But Mu Zhi didn't stop; he gently lowered his hand.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Bullets swarmed in instantly, and all the naval soldiers trembled like sieves, their bodies instantly turning into countless pieces of flesh and blood scattered in the midst of the artillery fire.

Only the officer, who resembled a snake, lay limp on the ground, and a sudden stench wafted over.

With a wave of his hand, Mu Zhi conjured a gust of wind that wrapped around the officer's body and pulled him close.

"Now I'll ask you questions, and you'll answer them."

"The Land of Water will not let you get away with this," the officer said fearfully.

He was promoted to major general based solely on his achievements, and he had no combat ability whatsoever. When facing a stronger opponent than himself, he was completely powerless to fight back.

Whether the Land of Water will let him go, the Land of Wood doesn't know.

However, under Mu Zhi's interrogation, the officer in front of him revealed everything he wanted to know.

What Kino wanted to know was everything that happened in this starfish world.

This officer naturally knew the most.

Since the final battle of the Starfish, Madara Uchiha has become the uncrowned king of the Starfish.

He forcefully suppressed the entire starfish world multiple times, and with his powerful military force, all the emerging pirates were killed one after another.

Many powerful pirates either died or submitted, and so on.

But pirates can't be killed off completely. Only by killing off most of the world's population can the existence of pirates be stopped.

Not to mention that there are many pirates under the protection of the Navy, and Madara Uchiha has no idea about these hidden people.

If all the pirates die, where will these marines go?

Madara Uchiha only cared about those who were truly his own people.

His ability is the only proof that he acknowledges.

But a powerful navy is not everything.

Madara Uchiha should have realized this problem later, because he returned to his newly established camp in the Land of Water and never came out again.

This also led to the increasing prevalence of piracy.

Madara Uchiha ignored him completely and did not appear on the sea for a long time.

Even they themselves don't know why Madara Uchiha isn't going out to suppress those people now.

"The center of the entire world today is the Land of Water established by Uchiha Madara."

Kinoko pondered for a moment.

"I've told you everything," the general said in a deep voice. "Can you let me go?"

Without even glancing at him, Mu Zhi slid his finger through the air, and a burst of fire appeared on his hand, engulfing the general in flames.

"Does a different definition of firepower mean different amounts of power are used?"

Kinoko fell into deep thought. Bullets are firepower, cannonballs are, and even the flames they spew.

"The power of rule types."

Although he knew of the existence of Devil Fruits, this was the first time he had come into contact with one.

A pair of red wings sprouted from its back.

"Let's go to the Land of New Waters first."

He doesn't find anything interesting about the world, which may be related to his inability to enjoy life.

Its body flew away in a distant direction.

They transformed into long red lines that tore through the sky.

It was just very quick.

Kino suddenly stopped abruptly, frowning as she fell into deep thought.

"Where is the Land of Water?"

I completely forgot to ask that.

He quickly scanned his surroundings and locked his gaze on a small island in the distance, where figures were moving about.

It flew straight toward the island.

Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji were silently warming themselves by the fire, their faces bruised and swollen.

Usopp and Chopper, standing nearby, were also bruised and battered from shoveling food.

They all looked towards the side not far away.

Rayleigh was drinking and laughing loudly, while Nami and Robin, dressed in swimsuits, were giggling beside him.

"Pervert!!" Franky raised his hands and clashed them together, the blue stars on his arms merging together.

Several people were huddled together around the barbecue grill, grilling meat.

"Gulp." Luffy swallowed hard, his hand rapidly extending from the ground towards the distant barbecue grill.

Rayleigh, who was drinking, stretched out his foot and stepped on Luffy's arm.

Luffy's expression changed, and his arms turned black.

but.

Rayleigh stomped down.

"it hurts!"

Luffy immediately withdrew his hand.

Luffy looked aggrieved; he hadn't eaten meat in a long time.

"You're barely qualified now."

Rayleigh took a sip of his drink. Although he said that, he was still silently shocked as he looked at the people in front of him.

In just one year, these three people have already reached this level.

Even on the high seas, they were not easy to deal with.

But in such a short time, it has grown to its current level.

They're simply monsters.

It's as if the whole world is helping these three people grow.

But how could that be?

Rayleigh was amused by his own thoughts.

How can the world help someone grow?

Luffy and his two companions had no idea what Rayleigh was thinking; they simply sighed silently in unison.

Right after Madara Uchiha took control of Starfish, they joined Rayleigh's training program.

The news from the Battle of Marineford made it clear to them that their strength was no longer sufficient to sail on the high seas.

During this period, he has been growing rapidly under Rayleigh's hellish training.

Just then.

A red light flashed in the pupils of Luffy and his two companions, along with Rayleigh beside them, and they all looked up at the sky at the same time.

A red figure slowly descended from the sky.

"Sir, what brings you here today?"

Rayleigh silently placed his hand on the sword at his waist, sensing with his Observation Haki.

This guy is very strong.

Zoro silently placed a knife to his mouth, Sanji lit a cigarette, and Luffy pulled his straw hat down.

"Excuse me, how do I get to the Land of Water?"

Mu Zhi glanced at the group and sensed from his natural energy that they were all quite strong.

Even the white-haired old man below is extremely powerful; Mu Zhi has no confidence that he can defeat him.

I never expected that there would be so many powerful people on this small island.

He didn't want to cause trouble either.

"You are going to the Land of Water."

Luffy then stepped forward to ask.

"Is there a problem?"

Mu Zhi raised an eyebrow.

Luffy grinned and said, "Want to board my ship? I'm also looking for that guy from the universe to settle accounts with."

"It's Uchiha Madara," Zoro muttered to himself.

The captain always has a bad memory for people's names.

"Yes, it's that cosmic stick that's used for settling accounts."

Luffy said with a serious expression.

"Bang!!" Nami rushed up and chopped Luffy on the head: "It's Uchiha Madara."

Mu looked at the group of people in front of him with a puzzled expression.

"Are you all going to your deaths?"

Although their strength could be vaguely sensed, they were only capable of fighting against Dharma Bodies; the Six Paths Realm was far beyond the reach of a Dharma Body.

"Don't underestimate them."

Rayleigh stepped forward and spoke softly.

"They are very strong."

Nami let Luffy go, and Luffy smiled while pressing down his hat.

Franky and Robin walked behind Luffy, with Zoro and Sanji standing beside him.

Usopp and Chopper looked around, and finally stood silently in the crowd.

Mu Zhi shook his head as he looked at them, clearly not thinking much of them, probably completely unaware of the power of the Six Paths Realm.

"I can go with you."

Anyway, he wasn't in a hurry to go to the Land of Water, so he might as well just go with them and take a look around.

As for them going to their deaths, that's none of his business.

On the Thousand Sunny.

"Barbecue! Barbecue!" Luffy completely immersed himself in the barbecue.

They devoured the grilled meat in one bite at a time.

As a chef, Sanji's hands became like phantoms as he quickly grilled pieces of raw meat and tossed them onto the plate.

"Luffy, the others haven't eaten yet!!"

Sanji slammed the barbecue grill in his hand down hard on Luffy's head, causing him to clutch his head in pain.

"Sanji, you're not allowed to use Armament Haki!" Luffy said, feeling wronged.

At the elegant little table, Nami and Robin continued to drink champagne.

"Super!! Perverted!!"

Franky's loud shouts came from below the cabin; he was repairing the entire ship.

"Usopp, Usopp, look at me."

Chopper sticks chopsticks into his nose and mouth in a funny pose.

"Hahahaha." Usopp burst into laughter.

Zoro raised an eyebrow and walked over to Kino, who was lying on the recliner.

His eyes were fixed on the knife at the other man's waist.

"Hey, you're a swordsman too, right?"

Mu Zhi looked at Zoro with a lazy expression. Since leaving the Land of Shadows, he no longer needed to train every day, and he had become lax.

He patted the knife at his waist.

"No, I'm just an ordinary ability user."

A sword is standard issue for everyone in the Land of Shadows.

Zoro thought about how this guy looked down on them.

"It doesn't look like it to me."

Looking at the fighting spirit in Zoro's eyes, this fervent emotion, Kino seemed to understand the troubles of his senior, Sumo.

I'm not some kind of fighting maniac.

"Speaking of swordsmen, I do know a very skilled one. He should be in the Land of Water right now. I'll introduce you to him sometime."

Kino had no choice but to find someone to take the blame, since Senior Sumo had often faced those battle maniacs and was already experienced.

I don't think they'd mind something like that.

(Hatake Sakumo, who was just arriving in the Land of Water, sneezed violently.)

"A powerful swordsman." Zoro raised an eyebrow; this had piqued his interest.
