Starting with the Uchiha clan, they began cultivating demonic arts.

Chapter 241 Ace Appears

With the powerful bloodline of the Monkey Family combined with the most powerful Illusionary Devil Fruit, Luffy's setup was maxed out from the very beginning.

Kaido and Big Mom are the type who are born with extraordinary talent and are close to their complete form when they first appear, while Luffy is the type with extremely high growth potential. He makes huge leaps in every battle and has extremely tenacious vitality.

"What should we do with this guy? He's the most influential person on the sea, and I also have a bit of a connection with Garp. It wouldn't be good to just kill him outright..."

"But I really want to see the Nika Fruit. It's the strongest Devil Fruit, or at least one of the strongest."

Seeing Luffy lying on the ground, Uchiha Touyu pondered for a moment before casually unleashing a terrifying flying slash that instantly killed nearly ten thousand rebel soldiers, causing the entire rebel army to crumble and begin to flee.

The rebel army is full of brave warriors who are not afraid of death, but not being afraid of death does not mean that they like to sacrifice themselves in vain! The Uchiha Touyu in front of them is obviously not an opponent that can be overwhelmed by sheer numbers, or rather, with such low quality, these people cannot even wear down the Uchiha Touyu's strength.

After slaughtering tens of thousands of people and dispersing the rebel army, Uchiha Touyu walked up to Luffy. At this moment, Luffy had a huge wound on his chest, running across his entire sternum, severing several ribs, and you could even vaguely see his beating heart.

The other hand was almost split in two at the fist, with the internal bones neatly cut open, revealing the flowing marrow.

If this were an ordinary person in the One Piece world, even if they were resilient enough to be saved, they would probably be crippled. However, for someone as resilient as Luffy, this would only be considered a normal serious injury.

"The Nika Fruit..."

With the Sandai Kitetsu in his hand pointed at the unconscious Luffy, just as Uchiha Touyu's heart was wavering, a roar came from afar:

"Let go of Luffy! You bastard!"

The Observation Haki sent a dangerous signal through him, which startled Uchiha Touya. The newcomer's strength was clearly not ordinary; he was at least much stronger than Shakurokfal.

The scorching flames condensed into a pillar and blasted towards Uchiha Tou's chest. The Third Generation Kitetsu drew an arc to block the scorching flames. However, even with Armament Haki defense and the powerful Asura Physique, Uchiha Tou could still feel waves of burning pain.

Under the powerful impact of the fire pillar, Uchiha Touya was forced back more than ten meters before he regained his footing, raised his head, and looked at his suddenly attacking opponent.

The newcomer was a handsome young man wearing a cowboy hat, with a bare upper body, well-proportioned muscles, and a few freckles on his face. Just by looking at the flames on his body, Uchiha Touyu knew his identity:

"Fire Fist Ace, the captain of the second division of the Whitebeard Pirates? I didn't expect to see you on this battlefield."

Portgas D. Ace, a famous tragic figure in the world of One Piece, his departure marked the complete transition of One Piece from a fairy tale comedy manga to an adult action manga, holding an important position in the entire One Piece manga.

Although this guy's record is quite embarrassing, first he was killed and captured by Blackbeard while chasing him, and then he was instantly killed by Akainu with one punch on the battlefield of Marineford. He doesn't seem to be very strong, but in fact, according to the official databook, this Fire Fist is a strongman who is on par with Marco.

In the battle with Blackbeard, the two were actually evenly matched in terms of raw strength. However, Blackbeard suffered from the Dark-Dark Fruit, which caused him to exhaust his strength and be captured after a hard-fought battle.

As for Akainu, he was only defeated in one move because he ate the Magma-Magma Fruit, which countered the Flame-Flame Fruit, and because he had to block the attack to save Luffy.

In theory, Ace at his peak was strong enough to go toe-to-toe with Marine Admirals like Aokiji and Kizaru for dozens of rounds. He was basically in the top tier below the Four Emperors and Admirals, and was not much different from Uchiha Tou in his current form.

"You bastard, you actually did that to Luffy..."

"He brought it on himself, didn't he? If it were just a personal grudge that came knocking, it wouldn't be a big deal. I would have shown mercy out of respect for his grandfather and given him a beating at most. But joining the resistance is a different story. In a war between nations, I can't afford to hold back."

Uchiha Touyu said calmly, but the truth was not as he described. If it weren't for his greed for the Nika Fruit, Uchiha Touyu would never have attacked Luffy so severely.

"Ah... perhaps you're right, but I'm a pirate!"

Ace adjusted his hat, a wide grin spreading across his face, revealing a fierce, battle-ready smile.

"I don't care about all that. Since you hurt my brother, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"Heh... Is this really a good idea? Luffy's injuries are quite severe right now. Are you sure you want him to continue fighting me in this state?"

Upon hearing this, Estun's body stiffened slightly. Looking at Luffy lying unconscious on the ground, he knew that although his younger brother was resilient, if there were any aftershocks during the battle, he might really die.

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth:

"You just wait! I'll let you off this time!"

Uchiha Touya sheathed the Third Generation Kitetsu, gave a cold laugh, and raised his head:

"I'm ready anytime! Hopefully you won't hang up before you cause me any trouble!"

Ace still has the mission of chasing Blackbeard, not to mention that given Luffy's personality, once he recovers from his injuries, he probably won't want his brother to get involved in his grudges. Right now, all he can do is make a harsh statement.

As for what comes after that... that's when the Marineford War will take place! This Fire Fist won't survive that time, not to mention who knows how strong Uchiha Tou will be then?

Watching Ace carry Luffy away, Uchiha Touyu frowned slightly:

"I just had murderous intent, and now Fire Fist is here to save the day? This is really troublesome."

In the world of One Piece, luck and fate truly exist. Putting aside other factors, the Luck Fruit alone proves everything. Not to mention the Nika Fruit, which can even choose its own host and send itself to the most suitable person.

There are also characters like Buggy the Clown and Usopp who are born with incredible luck, which undoubtedly demonstrates the existence of luck. Luffy, just now, clearly triggered the luck that allowed him to escape from a desperate situation and was rescued by Ace.

"Forget it... Even if I got the Nika Fruit now, I don't have a good goal to instill in me. I can't just become a Nika Fruit user myself! The mentality wouldn't be right either."

Judging from the characteristics of the Nika Fruit, even if someone like me obtained the power of this Devil Fruit, I wouldn't be able to train it to the awakening level. And without training it to the awakening level, the power of the Nika Fruit wouldn't even be considered outstanding among the Mythical Fruits.

Putting everything else aside, after Luffy obtained the Nika Fruit, apart from the rubber ability, his vitality became more tenacious. He didn't show much improvement in strength, speed, or other aspects. Among all Devil Fruits, it can only be considered to be of medium to high level.

With that thought in mind, Uchiha Touyu put aside his frustration and began to diligently mow down the rebels, racking up kills.

The Alabasta rebellion came to an end. All the nobles who were behind the scenes were killed, and the main radical faction in the rebellion was also wiped out by Uchiha Hiyu, leaving only a few leaderless guys.

After that, with the change in the Barabastan policy, the remaining rebels, who already had little will to fight, quickly reached an agreement with King Cobra. In fact, there weren't many conditions to negotiate; King Cobra gave the remaining rebels a severance package and told them to go back to their hometowns and farm.

Anyway, now that a large number of bureaucrats and nobles have been wiped out, their means of production have naturally been divided up, and they can easily be allocated some land. It is not easy for these repatriated rebels to make a lot of money, but it is not a problem for them to make a living.

Uchiha Touyu's strength also improved again during this massacre. Judging from the progress bar, the knock-off version of Asura transformation is about 80% complete. He will probably be fully formed after killing tens of thousands more people.

At that time, his strength, physique and other aspects will improve by leaps and bounds, making him equivalent to natural monsters like Kaido and Charlotte Linlin. In addition, with the "200 times effort" inherited from Coby, he will be very close to the top combat power in the entire pirate world.

However, Uchiha Touyu is clearly still far from perfect. Eighty percent and one hundred percent may seem like a difference of only 20 percent, but in reality, the difference might be more than double. Otherwise, Uchiha Touyu wouldn't have backed down when he saw Ace.

……

Naruto World.

After Uchiha Tou's clone successfully possessed his body, the original body's seclusion came to an end.

During the investigation, the main body needs to maintain the soul clone. Once the possession is over, it is as if the body has taken root in another world, so the main body does not need to continue its seclusion.

Not only that, the Blood Nerve Power and Soul Power that the clone obtained in the One Piece world were eventually poured back into the main body, allowing Uchiha Touyu to level up almost effortlessly, with both the Heavenly Demon Secret and the Blood Nerve Power advancing by leaps and bounds.

"I feel like if I absorb a few more souls, I can separate out new soul fragments... Then I can go find a new world and harvest them."

In Konoha Village, Uchiha Touyu felt his power increase and a smile appeared on his face.

Although it wasn't as good as a single harvest, Uchiha Tou felt he had found a pretty good world because he had acquired over 10 "population resources" in less than a year, and they were all of excellent quality.

The world of One Piece is far superior to the world of Naruto in terms of both population and the nature of human life. Furthermore, the chaos in the world of One Piece far surpasses that of Naruto. At least Naruto has a certain degree of order, but in the hellish world of One Piece, the World Government is truly inhuman.

The top figures in Naruto, no matter what, are pursuing the interests of their ninja villages or wanting world peace; they're just a bit crazy. The World Government in One Piece, on the other hand, seems to want to blatantly destroy the world.

Therefore, if Uchiha Tou becomes stronger in the future, it will be much easier for him to reap rewards in that world. He can basically find ten countries, five of which are in the midst of war, and easily gather millions of people, all of whom are the kind of people who deserve to die.

"However, the clone's strength is still a bit weak... Perhaps I should provide more support?"

Thinking of this, Uchiha Touyu sensed his Blood Nerve. With the cultivation of this demonic art, Uchiha Touyu was very close to transforming into a Blood God Child.

The Blood God Child is unpredictable and can easily enter the pirate world. Although that world is somewhat resistant to outside forces, as long as the Blood God Child is used as a powerful tonic and integrated into the clone, there shouldn't be any problems.

Furthermore, since his clone has obtained so much sacrificial black energy, perhaps he could try to obtain some cultivation techniques that conform to the laws of the One Piece world from the Book of Demonic Inheritance to enhance the clone's strength.

"Hmm... Lord Feiyu, you seem quite happy. Did something good happen?"

The girl with short, neat hair raised her head, her large, moist eyes looking at Uchiha Touya, and asked timidly.

"Something good has indeed happened, but it has nothing to do with you, Blackie. Okay, get back to work!"

Patting the girl's head, Uchiha Tou spoke, and Kurotsuchi responded with an "oh" before lowering her head again.

Currently, Uchiha Touya has almost no rivals in the ninja world. Only the Otsutsuki from beyond the heavens and the Sage of Six Paths from the Pure Land can be considered his threats. However, the Otsutsuki are currently far away in the universe, and the only Otsutsuki, Isshiki, is hiding in another dimension and won't come out, so there's not much he can do about it.

As for the Sage of Six Paths... Uchiha Touyu, with the advancement of his cultivation, has gradually been able to sense the location of the Pure Land. He believes that if his strength increases further, he can directly enter the Pure Land, and then the souls that the Sage of Six Paths has collected over the past thousand years will become his feast.

While waiting for his cultivation technique to improve, Uchiha Hiyu could only create clones to project into other worlds and indulge in the decadent lifestyle of ancient tyrants.

"By the way, Kurotsuchi, didn't you want to rebuild Iwagakure? I've given your permission, but it will take a while."

Reaching out to stroke the little pet's head, Uchiha Hiyu leaned back in his chair and said something, then sensed the pet's excitement.

"Mmm... Thank you, Lord Touyu..."

"It's alright. The ninja world is too peaceful right now. Although this will make the ninja villages recover faster, it will affect the quality of the ninjas."

"It's perfect to let you Iwa ninja act as the catfish, stirring up the situation in the ninja world, and see if we can catch some more ambitious individuals!"
