Konoha: I have a clone in One Piece.

Chapter 153 Awakening! The Third World War Erupts

Meanwhile, in the Ninja World, within the Ark's Proverbs.

As the rift between the two worlds is mended once more.

Suzuki looked at the pile of Devil Fruits on the table and a slight smile appeared on his face.

The clone's gains in Impel Down this time were indeed substantial.

There are nearly three hundred Zoan-type Devil Fruits on the table alone, as well as quite a few Paramecia-types, and even one Logia-type.

Among them are some rather good fruits.

For example, the Mythical Zoan type Nine-Tailed Fox Fruit.

Suzuki held the fruit in his hand, a hint of regret in his eyes.

In the world of One Piece, Zoan-type Mythical Beasts are even rarer treasures than Logia-type Devil Fruits.

Ordinary Zoan-type Devil Fruits greatly enhance stamina and recovery after consumption, while Mythical Zoan-type fruits have even more significant effects and also grant the user the characteristics of the corresponding mythical creature.

It's a pity that it has to be in the form of a nine-tailed fox; there's already a male fox in the ninja world.

If it were any other type of mythical beast, he might have just eaten it.

"Never mind, I'll find Kurama a companion later when I have the chance."

Thinking of the lonely Nine-Tails, Suzuki silently made a decision, and then his gaze quickly shifted to another fruit.

The Giant Battleship San Juan Wolf's Inflation Fruit is a fruit that allows the user to grow larger, with an effect somewhat similar to Luffy's Gear Third in the future. It may correspond to the Mini Fruit that a female giant in his memory ate.

The remaining fruits include the Momo-Momo Fruit, the Fusion Fruit, the Sake-Sake Fruit, the Island-Island Fruit, and the Logia-type Swamp Fruit.

If you add the ones his clone brought back before, he now has one Mythical Zoan, two Logia, nearly a hundred Paramecia, and hundreds of Zoan-type Devil Fruits, including Ancient Zoan.

He sent all the Zoan-type Devil Fruits to the lab for replication, while the Paramecia and Logia-types were treasured. But now...

"Perhaps we can improve their strength."

Suzuki squinted, looked at the many fruits and pondered for a while, then put away the Momo Fruit.

He then tidied up the Devil Fruits piled on the table, wrapped up all the Zoan-type Devil Fruits, and left the room.

Soon, inside the laboratory.

"Lord Suzuki!"

"Lord Suzuki!"

"..."

The researchers in the laboratory bowed deeply to Suzuki.

"Okay, you can take these fruits." Suzuki nodded in response, handing over the Devil Fruits he was holding, and then asked:

"How many copied Devil Fruits are there now?"

The technology for creating artificial Devil Fruits was recently mastered by researchers at the base, who successfully replicated the first Devil Fruit—the Zoan-type Boar Fruit.

That fruit is still kept in Suzuki's room as a keepsake.

The pharmacist, Nono, smiled and replied, "There are already more than two hundred, Suzuki-kun."

"Hmm, not bad. Give them all to me, I'll take them to Loulan."

"OK."

……

Loulan Kingdom lies amidst a vast expanse of yellow sand.

A streak of silvery light descended upon this small desert town.

"Lord Suzuki!"

"Lord Suzuki!"

"..."

As soon as Suzuki arrived at the Dragon Vein Seal, the members who had stayed behind to take care of the sacred tree saplings all gathered around him.

"These are all Devil Fruits. You can use them to feed that little guy. If there are any problems or rejection reactions, it's good if you can handle them yourself. If you can't, remember to let me know."

Without further ado, Suzuki took out a storage scroll and handed it to Shennong and Hiruko.

"This means...that technology has been successfully researched?"

Shennong took it somewhat blankly, and after realizing what was happening, he looked down at the scroll in his hand in surprise.

"Yes, it worked."

Suzuki gave a brief response, then turned his gaze to the Kage-level powerhouses who remained in Loulan:

"It seems you're not quite used to being here, Mr. Kakuzu."

"Forehead……"

Kakuzu, whose face was etched with boredom, suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Indeed, ever since the incident involving the two Konoha ninjas who accidentally wandered into Loulan, he had been quite bored in this desert town, with no missions to do and no fights to fight.

Suzuki smiled and said, "Consider this a rest, Mr. Kakuzu. You'll be very busy afterwards."

Then, he changed the subject and asked:

"By the way, Mr. Kakuzu, you seem to know quite a bit about Devil Fruits. What kind of magical ability do you like?"

Devil Fruit? What kind of ability?

Kakuzu immediately answered without hesitation:

"Of course it can turn into gold, and silver too."

"Really? I understand."

Suzuki smiled gently, then turned and walked out of the city.

Kakuzu behind him looked somewhat surprised, but quickly turned expectant, as if he had guessed something.

"Thank you, Lord Suzuki! Don't worry, I will not only guard this place well, but I will also complete the subsequent missions perfectly!"

Kakuzu, his face beaming with elation, shouted confidently at the figure that was gradually blurring into the yellow sand.

……

Time kept flowing by, until one day...

Sunagakure Village, also located in the desert of the Land of Wind.

At this moment, the office of the Wind Shadow was full of people, but the atmosphere was very oppressive, and everyone's face was full of helplessness.

After a short while, Elder Ebizo of Sunagakure broke the silence:

"We've been searching for so long, we've almost searched the entire Land of Wind, and this matter can't be kept secret any longer."

"How about we declare war on Konoha?"

"The disappearance of Lord Kazekage might be their doing."

After Ebizo spoke up, the remaining high-ranking officials of Sunagakure also broke their silence.

One by one, they were filled with passion and indignation, and began to discuss the matter, each offering their own opinion.

"That's right! It must be Konoha's doing!"

"Is that necessarily true? The Kazekage is no weakling, and he disappeared right in the village. Does Konoha really have the ability to assassinate our Kazekage in Sunagakure?"

"Heh, who knows? The key is that Lord Kazekage has been missing for over a month; the news is about to get out of control!"

"Yes, if the Sand Ninja below find out about this, the village will definitely be thrown into chaos."

"Yes, that's what I think too. Ebizo's suggestion is good. No matter what, let's put the blame on Konoha first."

"I think..."

"..."

"Okay, stop arguing!"

Seeing the increasingly noisy Kazekage office, Sunagakure elder Chiyo interrupted the discussion and made the final decision:

"Since everyone thinks Konoha was behind it, let's do as Ebizo suggested: first, send a letter of inquiry to Konoha, then inform the village's ninja, and finally, dispatch the Sand Village forces to the Land of Fire's border!"

"Okay, I agree!"

"no problem."

"I agree."

"..."

The clan leaders, high-ranking officials, and Jonin of Sunagakure all expressed their approval of Chiyo's decision.

Before long, everyone left.

Inside the office, Chiyo frowned as she looked at her younger brother, Ebizo, and asked with some concern:

"Has Scorpion still not been found?"

Ebizo shook his head with a wry smile, then sighed deeply, and hesitantly told his sister his guess:

"Do you think Fengying might be that child...?"

"Impossible!" Chiyo interrupted Ebizo, immediately refuting him:

"Scorpion is very well-behaved and usually obedient. The Kazekage's disappearance has absolutely nothing to do with him!"

"He probably just got lost in the desert, or maybe he's just looking for materials to make puppets, or maybe..."

As she spoke, tears welled up in Chiyo's eyes, and she instantly broke down in sobs.

……

Just as the high-ranking officials of Sunagakure were preparing to launch a war.

at the same time.

An indescribably terrifying aura instantly enveloped the entire sea area of ​​the Land of Waves.

A figure flashing with dazzling lightning appeared suddenly, seemingly tearing through space, a hundred meters above the sea.

In an instant, thunderclouds filled the sky, and waves surged on the sea.

"This speed, this power..."

Suzuki raised his right hand slightly, and the sky roared.

The waves of the sea suddenly became even more turbulent, as if a storm was about to break. The extremely heavy and oppressive atmosphere caused the seabirds and fish around to start to flee frantically.

next moment.

The area within a radius of tens of kilometers was instantly filled with lightning. The vast sea seemed to have become a world of lightning. Even though the fruit's power had stopped activating, the lightning did not dissipate for a long time.

"Finally, I've become a monster..."

Suzuki looked at the scene before him, which was more terrifying than a natural disaster, and couldn't help but smile.

After years of continuous training, coupled with the gradual improvement of physical strength and willpower, it was like water overflowing when the container was full.

Just now, his Rumble-Rumble Fruit successfully awakened!

"and……"

Suzuki narrowed his eyes, and the lightning around him gradually became brighter, while the wind and thunder raged chaotically all around him.

Then, a light even brighter than the sun burst forth from his body.

In an instant, all the gale and thunder disappeared, and the sea below inexplicably stopped rippling. The world suddenly became calm.

As the light faded, a figure whose entire body, including his hair, was silver-white stood in mid-air. His body was small, but his aura seemed to be more magnificent than the entire world!
