I, Uchiha Hikaru, have joined the chat group.

Chapter 361 The Unification Front of the Pirate World

The next morning.

The first rays of dawn pierced the darkness, crossed the horizon, and fell upon the two people on the shore.

The campfire had gone out after burning for half the night.

Uchiha Hikaru slowly woke up from his sleep, rubbing his sleepy eyes. He then felt Esdeath behind him also open her eyes at the same time and stand up. "Awake? You rest here for a while. I'll go get some food."

Simply fill your stomach.

After regaining his composure, Uchiha Hikaru took Esdeath back to the place where he had fought Big Mom and the others, and instructed her to remove the freezing air that had previously frozen the entire Whole Cake Island region.

With this action, the old woman and the others gradually emerged from their frozen state, momentarily bewildered. Katakuri and Perospero were the first to notice Uchiha Hikaru and Esdeath in front of them. Just as they were about to rush forward to subdue them, they were enveloped by an indescribably powerful Conqueror's Haki, which immediately suppressed them, forcing them to half-squat down.

They were Big Mom's eldest and second sons, and the strongest members of the Charlotte Family besides Big Mom herself. If even they performed like this, there's no need to say more; the rest were already down in an instant.

"This level of Conqueror's Haki... how is this possible?! It's unbelievably strong!"

"Could everything in the newspapers be true?!"

Amidst a cacophony of discussion.

Uchiha Hikaru stood in mid-air with his arms crossed, slightly suspended, and casually said:

"I'm sorry to see you again. Just a reminder, it's already the next day. You can confirm this by observing the direction the sun is facing."

"Since the desserts on this island seem to taste pretty good, I'll give you a chance to choose again. Whether you serve the new world government or fall into an eternal slumber, the decision is in your own hands."

"..."

Faced with such options, the answer is self-evident.

Even the Four Emperors value their lives. Especially Big Mom, whose Devil Fruit power is the "Soul-Soul Fruit," which can steal the lifespan of others.

After receiving the latter's promise, Uchiha Hikaru activated his Mangekyou Sharingan, gave the members of the Whole Cake Island group a seal, and then left with Esdeath, going to Onigashima again.

There's not much to say about this trip.

After all, when Uchiha Hikaru first came to the pirate world, he fought Kaido once. Unless Kaido's "Azure Dragon Fruit" can suddenly awaken during this period and become an existence on the same level as the "Nika Fruit", even if they fight a hundred more times, the result will not be any different.

And in fact...

This trip went more smoothly than expected.

"...You really are the legendary 'Joy Boy,' capable of defeating not only the Five Elders but even beings like Im... In that case, I'll just have to believe in 'fate' for now and see where you can lead this world."

That's what Kaido said.

Although this guy mistook someone else for someone else, since Kaido had figured it out, Uchiha Hikaru didn't explain much about the "Joy Boy" matter. He simply gave a brief description of the new government's affairs and told the latter to make time to attend the meeting as soon as possible.

This is the end.

This "united front in the pirate world" has now been established.

Although this "front" is still very loose at present—after all, it is composed of the Navy, the Four Emperors, the Revolutionary Army, and even former member states of the World Government. These forces from different sides have never had a precedent of sincere cooperation in history. Some of them are even mortal enemies, but they are only being suppressed by the overwhelming power of the "Dimensional Team".

Furthermore, although Im and the Five Elders have "fallen," there are still many "spiritual Celestial Dragons" on the seas, including numerous stubborn individuals who, even after seeing news reports, dare to challenge the new government and even the "Dimensional Team." If these carnivores representing the old class cannot be completely eradicated, then peace in the pirate world will ultimately be unsustainable…

However, these are not things that Uchiha Hikaru and the "Dimensional Group" need to consider.

They couldn't possibly arrange everything perfectly; they had to leave some work for Whitebeard and Redhead, as well as the Revolutionary Army of this world, so as to see if this "new government" could function smoothly.

At this moment.

Uchiha Hikaru had already begun planning another itinerary that he had been conceiving for some time—

"Now that things are settled in the pirate world, it's time to take some time to visit Namek."

Bulma: ...Hey, Hikari, are you planning to go to Namek? When are you leaving? I want to go too!

[Little Monster: +1]

【Oni Princess: +2】

[Nameless: Do you guys think this is a vacation? ...Although Namekians are generally friendly, it's not entirely without danger. Let me and Aiolia scout out the route first, then you can come along.]

[Bulma: Hmm? So you only brought Aiolia this time?]

[Anonymous: Yes...]

The decision to bring Esdeath along was something Hikaru Uchiha had already made long ago.

However, because he had just gone on a date with Bulma a couple of days ago and done some ambiguous things, Uchiha Hikaru was a little guilty at the moment, and felt that Bulma's words seemed to have some kind of implication.

After calming herself down a bit, she continued typing through her mind:

[Nameless: Someone needs to maintain order in the One Piece world to prevent the remnants of the Celestial Dragons from launching a counterattack. I'll leave that to you, Yamato. Also, Bulma, you need to keep an eye on Minato's clone. If conventional technology can't achieve a perfect resurrection, we'll probably have to use Namek's Dragon Balls.]

Bulma: Hmm...that's fine too.

In recent days, Dr. Brief and his colleagues have begun to cultivate Minato Namikaze's pre-natal cells in preparation for subsequent cloning.

With an all-star lineup like Brief, Gro, Vegapunk, Orochimaru... plus Bulma, this task is practically a sure thing. The only difference is when the training will be completed.

Uchiha Hikaru has already made up her mind.

It would take her about a month and a half to travel from Earth in the Dragon Ball world to Namek. Then, finding the Namekians, gaining their initial trust, and meeting the Grand Elder would take another half month. In total, it would take two months.

As for Minato Namikaze's situation, a more accurate assessment should be possible within the next two months.

Then we can decide which plan to use for revival based on the situation.
