I, Uchiha Hikaru, have joined the chat group.

Chapter 324 "The Door-Door Fruit"

At this moment.

Hikaru Uchiha, who was in the woods near Shakky's Bar, twitched his lips, somewhat speechless.

Could it be that this Celestial Dragon named "Saint Sidrakh" is also a priest who likes little boys?

Even so...

Isn't that a bit too "young"? Naruto is only seven years old!

[Anonymous@Buma: By the way, where are you guys right now?]

[Bulma: Hmm, it looks like Island 42... in front of a clothing store...]

【nameless:?】

Bulma, Nami, and the rest of the Straw Hat crew were all visiting the Sabaody Archipelago for the first time and were unfamiliar with their surroundings. Coupled with the suddenness of the event, they were momentarily unsure of their location.

Uchiha Hikaru had anticipated this, so after asking this question in the chat group, he immediately closed his eyes and focused his consciousness into his own mental space.

Compared to a year ago.

Her mental space is now vast and boundless, a far cry from what it once was.

Within this vast, seemingly endless space, encompassing everything from Konoha Village to West City in the Dragon Ball world, to Black Swan Harbor in Herzog, the Imperial Palace of the Red Empire… almost every place she had ever personally set foot in was meticulously replicated in a 1:1 scale.

If I weren't the master of this spiritual space, capable of exploring the entire space with a single thought; and if the only true resident in this space were the small Nine-Tails separated from Yang Jiuwei, it wouldn't be an easy task to thoroughly explore this area using other means.

soon.

Uchiha Hikaru locked onto the Nine-Tails, who was lying on the rooftop of a skyscraper, seemingly asleep with its eyes closed. He then instantly appeared in front of it, grabbed its body, and shook it.

"Hey, wake up."

"...Hmm? Did something happen to that brat?"

Nine-Tails seemed to have guessed what was happening outside. He opened his eyes from his dozing and grinned, "Don't worry about what's going on over there. If that brat is really in danger, my other half will take care of it."

"...Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Uchiha Hikaru landed on the rooftop, grabbed Kurama by the scruff of its neck, and lifted it up: "You should be able to sense the location of the main body, right? Tell me where it is."

"..."

Nine-Tailed Fox struggled a few times, and sighed after realizing it couldn't break free.

After a while.

Hikaru Uchiha reopened her eyes and glanced at Esdeath beside her: "Let's go, Esdeath. I've found their location."

"Um."

Esdeath immediately stood up and walked to stand next to her.

Rayleigh and Luffy on the other side were still a bit confused: "What happened?"

"Well, Nami and Bulma have encountered a Celestial Dragon and might be in trouble... How about it, interested in helping them out? My 'Door-Door Fruit' can teleport you directly to where they are right now."

"The Door-Door Fruit?"

"...A Celestial Dragon?"

Luffy and Zoro's attention was focused on the "accident that happened to Nami and the others" and the "Door-Door Fruit" that Uchiha Hikaru casually mentioned to cover up Shangri-La's abilities, and they didn't think too much about it.

Rayleigh's pupils contracted slightly, and he looked astonished.

He was the person present who knew the most about the World Government and the Celestial Dragons. Therefore, he was very clear about what it meant to attack the Celestial Dragons on this island so close to Marine Headquarters. If this matter was not handled properly, it could very well trigger an unprecedented disaster, making it impossible for even an old man like him, who had been hiding his identity and living in seclusion for many years, to remain uninvolved.

"...Mr. Raleigh?"

Uchiha Hikaru tilted his head.

At this moment, Luffy and Zoro were already standing beside her.

Seeing this, Rayleigh sighed, "Fine, I'll accompany you this way for now, to prevent you from doing anything irreversible... Miss Hikari, did you really eat the 'Door-Door Fruit'?"

"you guess."

Uchiha Hikaru did not respond to Rayleigh's question, but simply snapped his fingers.

With this action, a light purple light burst forth from the watch on her wrist, and in a short moment, it unfolded into a huge Bagua pattern. She, Esdeath, Rayleigh, and Luffy were positioned on this pattern.

next moment.

As the pale purple light faded and disappeared, the figures of Uchiha Hikaru and the others vanished from their original spot.

……

the other side.

Bulma, having already replied in the group chat, watched as Naruto, who was being held captive by several bodyguards and struggling with his arms and legs, pulled a microphone from her backpack, took a deep breath, and spoke:

"Aaaaaah!!!!"

【Teigu: Earth Shakes】

This thing was stolen by Uchiha Hikaru from Kosmia in the Akame ga Kill! world and given to Bulma for self-defense. Before that, Bulma had mostly stayed with her, Esdeath, or Kikyo, and didn't need to use it. But now…

This sonic weapon, a Teigu, revealed its power for the first time in the world of One Piece!

boom--!!

In an instant, a powerful ultrasonic wave swept forward, sending the bodyguards who had just picked up Naruto and were trying to go back flying! Naruto was also thrown to the ground with a "thud," and his transformation jutsu immediately dissipated. He rubbed his buttocks and grimaced.

"Naruto, come back!"

Accompanied by Bulma's voice.

Chopper rushed over, grabbed Naruto's arm, pulled him over, and hid behind the crowd.

Bulma went up and helped him brush off the dust.

Then, Sanji, who was already following behind the group, quickly rushed over from the side, spread his arms, and protected everyone behind him. Then he looked at the group of people opposite him with a serious expression.

—I'm mainly looking at that Celestial Dragon.

If Luffy or Zoro were standing here right now, they might have already attacked the Celestial Dragons.

But Sanji is different.

As a descendant of the Vinsmoke family and the adopted son of Red-Leg Zeff, he had some common sense about the rules of the Celestial Dragons and knew that if things escalated today, no one would have a good outcome.

"Nami, Chopper, and Bulma, you guys go first..."

Sanji took a deep breath: "I'll cover your escape."

the other side.

When the Celestial Dragons on the other side saw Bulma and the others' performance, they were already on guard.

When he saw the ultrasonic waves that Bulma "released" send several bodyguards flying, he panicked and pulled out his gun, aiming it at Bulma and the others again.
