Konoha: I have a clone in One Piece.

Chapter 175 Eye Contact with Im

"I once went there to collect rewards for my subordinates."

"And there's Roswald Saint. There's a warehouse in the third house on the outskirts of the Holy Land. There should be quite a few Devil Fruits in there. He loves collecting slaves. Sometimes he forces slaves to eat Devil Fruits and then makes them kill each other."

"besides……"

After reporting on the treasure locations of hundreds of Celestial Dragons, Spandam, who had been promoted to CP0 commander, said obsequiously:

"Sir, look..."

"Hmm, well done." Suzuki praised with a satisfied expression: "Keep lying low, you don't need to worry about the cursed seal for the next three years."

"Okay...okay, thank you, thank you, sir, I..."

"come on."

Ignoring Spandam's tearful gratitude, Suzuki quickly hung up the phone.

At the same time, he also arrived near the location where the Celestial Dragons' guards and slaves of Mary Geoise were engaged in fierce combat.

"Bang...bang..."

"No...no, help, help me..."

"ah--"

"Hahaha, this is hilarious! Quick, cut him right off his heart and show me!"

"Yes, sir! You damned slaves, how dare you offend the noble descendant of the gods! Die!"

"Wait, look over there, that's...!"

"A traveler?!"

Some CP members who were about to kill the unarmed slaves stopped abruptly, looking at Suzuki in horror.

Because the Five Elders had previously instructed them to gather information about travelers, they were quite familiar with Suzuki's appearance and strength.

"What are you doing? Aren't you obeying my orders?"

The Celestial Dragons, who were excited about the slaves' miserable state, became somewhat displeased when they saw the guards stop moving.

He turned around angrily, ready to see who dared to interrupt his play:

"What is a traveler...?"

"Bang!"

Blood gushed out, and the ugly head with a runny nose, encased in a transparent glass dome, on the neck of the Celestial Dragon wearing a protective suit, was suddenly blown apart by a single shot!

"Saint Charles!"

The CP members stared in disbelief at the Celestial Dragon's headless corpse, the exploding blood even splattering onto their faces.

...So it was this guy. No wonder he looked so stupid.

Upon hearing a somewhat familiar name, Suzuki thought for a moment and then remembered the identity of the Celestial Dragon he had killed.

When the Straw Hat Pirates first arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago, this was the guy who got punched away by Luffy at the auction house.

Suzuki glanced at the corpse lying on the ground, then ignored it and continued walking forward.

"Damn it, we can't let him leave like this!"

"Yes, Saint Charles is dead. If we don't catch the murderer, we..."

"Kill him!"

"Let's give it our all!"

The CP members gritted their teeth and charged towards Suzuki.

Even though the difference in strength was enormous, they knew all too well how terrible it was for a Celestial Dragon to be killed in front of them. If they didn't catch the murderer, they would suffer a punishment worse than death!

However, the gap was so large that they couldn't even get close to each other.

bang bang bang...

As Suzuki walked slowly, several dark gun barrels appeared on his body, easily taking out the CP members.

"kill--"

"Look, there's a traveler!"

"Quickly seize their weapons!"

"How is this possible? How did a traveler end up here?"

"Go and inform the Navy immediately..."

"Great opportunity! Run now!"

"Quick, follow him! He's so powerful, he can definitely lead us out!"

"Traveler, stop the traveler!"

On their way forward, some of the Mary Geoise guards and pirate slaves who were engaged in battle recognized Suzuki's identity.

Some CP members tried to stop him, but they were all easily killed. Some slaves wanted to follow him, but he completely ignored them.

Suzuki continued straight toward the castle of the Celestial Dragon Roswald Saint.

He arrived at his destination shortly afterward.

After easily dealing with the guards around the castle, Suzuki went inside.

"not good!"

"Lord Rozwald, please return to Pangaea as soon as possible!"

Inside the castle, several guards, upon seeing Suzuki, were horrified and quickly grabbed their Celestial Dragon master, preparing to take him to the secret passage and send him back to the safe Pangu City.

"How dare you filthy, lowly people touch me? Let go of me!"

The Celestial Dragon Roswald Saint, his face contorted with rage, broke free from the guards' grasp, then pointed at Suzuki with greedy eyes:

"Go, seize that guy! I want him as my slave!"

"Hehe, hehehe..."

"Nausea."

Suzuki frowned, his figure vanished from the spot, his arm transformed into a sharp blade, instantly slicing several people in half at the waist, and then headed towards the warehouse.

……

Naval Headquarters, Office of the Fleet Admiral.

"What? Mary Geoise has been attacked? Alright, I'll send people over right away!"

After hanging up the phone, Navy Admiral Steelbone Kong immediately summoned all the Navy officers of vice admiral rank and above who were still at Navy Headquarters.

"Borsalino, Kuzan, Garp, and Mary Geoise have been attacked."

"A merman named Fisher Tiger has released a large number of slaves, and now the Holy Land is in chaos."

"You all need to go there right away!"

Steelbone Sky gave serious instructions to the people who rushed to the office.

however……

"Brother Kong, I'm not going to do that."

"Those slaves were already suffering enough, and now you want me to suppress them? I, Garp, cannot do that!"

Garp was somewhat shocked, but he still frowned and firmly refused.

"Um... I'm sorry, Marshal, I probably won't be free either. I still have to go to the Grand Line to look for traces of travelers later." Aokiji didn't want to go either, so he made up an excuse.

"No! You have to go!"

Kong knew the two men's temperaments well, but apart from the two of them and Kizaru, there were no other Marines at Marine Headquarters with sufficient strength.

"Borusalino, you go first," Kong Kong instructed Kizaru, who was standing to the side.

"Yes, Marshal."

"How terrifying! How dare they attack Mary Geoise..."

Kizaru chuckled softly, then his body transformed into specks of light and quickly disappeared from the office.

Even though he's lazy, this guy is still sensible...

Steel Bone Sky sighed, then looked at Aokiji and Garp, roaring:

"Garp, and you, Kuzan, don't throw a tantrum at a time like this!"

"I'm telling you, you have to go whether you like it or not!"

"No, Brother Kong, I really..."

Just then, the Den Den Mushi rang again.

"Air Marshal, the Traveler... the Traveler has arrived in Mary Geoise!"

"What?!"

"Is the traveler there too?"

Upon receiving another call for help, Steel Bone Sora was immediately shocked, while Aokiji and Garp, who had overheard the conversation, also stared wide-eyed.

"Okay, I'll be right there!"

"Wait, Kuzan, you remember..."

Aokiji quickly realized what was happening and, without even listening to Kong's words, rushed towards Mary Geoise.

Garp, who was standing to the side, squinted and pondered for a while before walking toward the door.

"Hey, Garp, remember this: your most important mission is to keep the Celestial Dragons safe, understand?"

Steelbone Sky loudly reminded him.

"Huh? I didn't hear that~"

However, all that was left for him was Garp's departing figure and a perfunctory reply.

……

The Holy Land of Mary Geoise, Pangaea.

At this point, Pangu City was no longer as safe as the Celestial Dragons had imagined.

Monkey D. Dragon caused a riot in the city. The leader of the Revolutionary Army fought against the powerful figures hidden in the Celestial Dragon families while observing the city's defenses and moving deeper into the city.

"Stop! You damned thief!"

"Where are the Five Elders? Where have all those guys gone? Why haven't they arrived yet?"

"Quickly, stop this lowlife!"

There were more than a dozen Celestial Dragons besieging the dragon, but even with their best efforts, they could not stop Monkey D. Dragon's advance.

The fierce battle between the powerful warriors caused the surrounding magnificent castles to collapse. The tearing winds and flying sword energy stirred up dust and smoke throughout the city, and the aftershocks even killed several Celestial Dragons.

"Mr. Long's strength is indeed extraordinary."

As Suzuki arrived at the city gate, he gazed at the howling wind that had uprooted houses in the distance and couldn't help but sigh.

Then, while recklessly unleashing his Observation Haki to investigate the city, he slowly walked into the city.

"Look, there's another thief here!"

"Damn it, it's all those slaves' fault for causing such a mess. Why did they even bother running out like that?"

"Quickly, call the guards to stop him!"

Many Celestial Dragons spotted Suzuki.

Unlike the slaves, Suzuki, who was dressed in perfect clothes, was clearly a dragon and posed a significant threat to Pangaea. Therefore, the Celestial Dragons immediately called upon the experts and guards in their families.

However, with the Knights of God and the Five Elders absent, and the dragon attracting most of the powerful figures, none of the so-called guards and experts could withstand a single move from Suzuki.

"ah--"

"Help!"

"Someone come quick to protect me... uh..."

"Quickly, go and call some more guards!!"

"..."

"Incompetent and arrogant." Suzuki glanced at the Celestial Dragons, who were fleeing in panic and wearing transparent protective shields, his eyes full of disdain: "You trash are the ones who are truly polluting the air."

Unlike Long, although he wasn't interested in killing Celestial Dragons, he would still kill them whenever he saw them, since these guys were quite an eyesore.

In a short period of time, hundreds of Celestial Dragons died in Pangu City.

Before long, Suzuki arrived at the place Spandam had mentioned where the Celestial Dragons stored Devil Fruits.

"Wow, they're really rich!"

Looking at the warehouse piled high with thousands of Devil Fruits, Suzuki exclaimed in amazement.

Moreover, after careful observation, he discovered that most of these fruits were ancient species of the Natural and Paramecia types, or Zoan types. Ordinary Zoan types were very rare, as if they were not qualified to be stored here.

"Hehe, what a bumper harvest!"

Suzuki chuckled, then carefully put all the Devil Fruits away.

……

Meanwhile, Monkey D. Dragon also arrived at the Flower Garden, the deepest part of Pangu City.

Unlike the luxurious surroundings, the Flower Room, the residence of the world's behind-the-scenes big boss, appears quite simple.

The room was decorated mostly with lush green plants and flowers, and even butterflies were fluttering in the air, creating a vibrant atmosphere.

"This is……"

"How is that possible?!"

Monkey D. Dragon stared wide-eyed in horror, as if he had seen something unbelievable.

Soon, a hint of understanding appeared in the eyes of the revolutionary leader, as if he had realized something. Then he hurriedly flew quickly towards the outside of Pangu City.

……

The New World, the waters near Elbaf.

"Lord Im, is this the place?"

As one of the Five Elders, the God of Scientific Defense bowed his head, appearing extremely respectful.

Before him stood a figure clad in a long robe, with pupils like those of an eagle, whose aura seemed to reach even higher than the sky—the true ruler of the World Government, Im!

"Hmm, that should be right."

Im responded calmly.

"My lord, you said that the fruit has its own consciousness and will hide and search for you, but if even you can't find it, how could anyone else possibly find it?"

Figarando Gringus, the leader of the Knights of God standing to the side, looked slightly puzzled.

This time, when Im woke up, he didn't come to extinguish the flames that threatened the World Government's rule as before. Instead, he brought them to the vicinity of Elbaf, saying that they had to find a Devil Fruit.

This puzzled Figarando Greenegu.

With this man's strength, there's nothing in this sea area, or even the entire New World, that can be kept from him.

"Nika..." Im seemed to be deep in thought, then slowly said, "It will indeed be wary of you, but... it doesn't want to see me even more."

"That……"

"Okay, I got it!"

Figarando Greene was still very curious and wanted to continue asking, but he opened his mouth and then suppressed it.

"hehe…"

Im chuckled softly, a hint of satisfaction appearing in his eyes as he looked at Figarando Gringu.

"Upon waking up this time, I was surprised to find such an outstanding junior among them as you. Not bad."

"When we get back, come to the Flower Pavilion, and I'll teach you..."

"Um?!!"

Suddenly, Im frowned, his eyes sharpened, and he turned his head to look in the direction of the Red Line. His gaze seemed to be able to penetrate space, accurately locking onto Suzuki and Monkey D. Dragon.

A moment later, a cold voice filled with murderous intent rang out:

"Hmph, you audacious ant!"

The once calm sea suddenly became turbulent!

……

Meanwhile, in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, in the city of Pangaea.

Suzuki, who was setting the explosives, suddenly felt an inexplicable, heavy pressure and immediately turned his head to look in the direction of the new world:

"This is……"

Their gazes seemed to transcend an infinite distance, intersecting and colliding.

Suddenly, a strong wind arose!

Above the Red Earth continent, the clouds churned incessantly.

Hello, Mr. Im.

Suzuki grinned and gave him a silent greeting.
