Konoha: I have a clone in One Piece.

Chapter 123 Advance Preparation

In the world of One Piece, on the West Blue, a vast expanse of azure sea.

A small, silvery-white boat sped towards Ohara, leaving a long white trail on the sea.

Suzuki looked up at the newsbirds flying overhead, slowed the boat down, and waved to them.

Immediately, the newsbird flew down.

It is currently the year 1500 of the Haiyuan calendar, and newspaper prices have not yet risen to what they will be in the future.

So Suzuki tossed it fifty berries and bought it a copy of the latest maritime news.

"Traveler Suzuki's bounty has been increased by a huge amount once again!"

"This madman, who has been entrenched in the first half of the Grand Line for a year, and last year's strongest rookie on the sea, is still recklessly hunting down Devil Fruit users!"

"His bounty has been increased again by the Marine Headquarters; the Traveler's bounty is now 830 million Berries!"

As he opened the newspaper, his own news came into view, and Suzuki couldn't help but smile.

Back in Loguetown, his bounty was only a little over 80 million.

After he started hunting down Devil Fruit users, his earnings immediately increased to 320 million. After defeating Marine Admiral Aokiji Kuzan, his earnings skyrocketed to 580 million Berries!

Unexpectedly, it has now risen to over 800 million peles.

It's no wonder the Navy is paying more and more attention to this kind of bounty, which is still stuck in the first half of the Grand Line.

Suzuki looked at his own picture in the newspaper, flipped through it a bit, and finding no important news, threw the newspaper into the sea.

The small, silvery-white boat once again sped off like an arrow released from a bow.

Not long after, Suzuki arrived at his destination for this voyage—Ohara!

This is his second time visiting this island.

It's been three years since I last came here.

The port of Ohara was still bustling with activity, with a steady stream of tourists coming to visit the Tree of Knowledge. Vendors were still hawking the leaves, claiming they could enhance intelligence, and tour guides were vying to attract customers.

Looking at the bustling streets and the towering Omniscient Tree in the middle of the island, Suzuki sighed inwardly.

This once prosperous and vibrant island will soon be razed to the ground by the gunfire of warships.

However, it was just a regretful moment; it had nothing to do with him.

Suzuki's eyes quickly regained their composure. Before the Navy and World Government personnel arrived, he prepared to make some preparations in advance.

A short while later, we arrived at the visitor hall on the first floor of the library.

After Suzuki arrived, he quietly activated his Observation Haki and instantly sensed Professor Clover's presence.

At that moment, the doctor was studying ancient scripts on the second floor.

With that in mind, Suzuki didn't waste any more time. He directly stopped a scholar who was resting and chatting in the library's visitor hall, politely explained that he and Dr. Clover were old friends, and asked the scholar to go and inform him that an old friend had come to visit.

At the entrance to the visitor hall, Suzuki waited for a short while before Dr. Clover walked over with a big smile on his face.

"Suzuki?"

"Hahaha, I didn't expect it to be you! What, did you come to see little Robin?"

Dr. Clover remained as peaceful and approachable as ever.

However, the joy of their reunion was abruptly interrupted before it could even begin!

Suzuki nodded first, then shook his head, and solemnly told Professor Clover about the Buster Call:

"Doctor, my purpose in coming to Ohara this time is not just this!"

"You should know how dangerous what you're doing is, right?"

"I have information that the World Government can no longer tolerate your research. They have dispatched the Navy to Ohara, preparing to launch a Buster Call to completely destroy the island!"

"What???"

"How dare they do this?!"

"Ohara is the most famous island of scholars in the ocean!"

Dr. Clover was immediately shocked; he hadn't expected Suzuki to bring him such astonishing news.

The World Government is preparing a Buster Call against Ohara!

Dr. Clover knew something about the Buster Call; it was a devastating attack that could level an entire island!

He had been arrested several times before for studying the Poneglyphs but got away with it. Now, the entire island of Ohara is facing annihilation from the bombardment!

But Dr. Clover didn't think Suzuki would deceive him. He just didn't expect the World Government to become so decisive and ruthless!

Suzuki then continued:

"Nothing is impossible."

"The destruction of Ohara was inevitable."

"Those sent to carry out the Buster Call are not only Vice Admirals from Marine Headquarters, they've even sent two Admiral candidates!"

Upon hearing this, Dr. Clover's face immediately filled with worry.

Whether they were lieutenant generals or general candidates, they were an insurmountable force for these scholars.

It's fine if he dies on his own, after all, he lived for so long.

But what about the others?

How could those young scholars, those who didn't participate in the study of the main historical texts, die?

These people are the hope and future of Ohara!

Just as Dr. Clover was still worried about the scholars, Suzuki's voice rang out again:

"Doctor, come with me!"

"I have the ability to protect all the scholars. As long as you keep a low profile in the future, there will be no more danger to your lives."

Looking at Professor Clover, Suzuki said seriously, "Professor, please notify the scholars to assemble."

"Have them all come to the second floor of the library."

"The navy should arrive soon."

Dr. Clover snapped out of his daze and quickly nodded, "Okay, okay, I'll go and call them all right away!"

"Thank you, Suzuki. If it weren't for your timely notification, those young scholars would probably have been buried along with Ohara."

"Um."

Watching Dr. Clover hurriedly leave, Suzuki calmly walked towards the second floor of the Tree of Omniscience.

Unlike the first floor, the second floor of the Tree of Omniscience is a place where scholars conduct research and study. Not many outsiders can come up here, and it is very quiet.

At this time, many scholars were already immersed in their studies and research, and even when Suzuki came up, they did not turn around to look at him.

Suzuki casually found a seat and sat down, waiting quietly.

After some time, Dr. Clover brought many scholars here.

Dr. Clover then interrupted the scholars who were studying on the second floor, informing them that the island was about to be subjected to a Buster Call, and then explained about Suzuki.

The scholars' faces showed expressions of surprise, doubt, or panic.

"ah??"

"How could this happen??"

Are we going to die?

"Dr. Clover, we..."

"Bang!"

Suzuki had no interest in listening to the scholars' nonsense, and calmly knocked them all unconscious.

"Suzuki, you..."

Dr. Clover stared in astonishment at the scene, but before he could voice his doubts, the old scholar was knocked unconscious.

Suzuki glanced at the scholars lying on the ground, silently memorizing their appearance and figures, and then opened his mouth wide and spat out the same number of boxes as the scholars.
