Naruto: I am Ninja World Ghost Story, who are you?

Even the Boa sisters trembled as they held their weapons upon hearing the name, their thoughts drifting to the mark on their backs.

Junzi, observing Uchiha Bufan's strange posture and the lack of dejection in his eyes, a hint of curiosity flashing in his heterochromatic pupils, said, "I don't care about his Celestial Dragon status. If you want to make a move, this ship might be the first..."

"Does that matter?" Uchiha Bufan's voice rang out calmly, a golden glint flashing in his eyes. "What matters is that I will not allow anyone to stand taller than me."

"That's absolutely true."

"so."

Junko's calm heterochromatic pupils reflected the extraordinary Uchiha, which instantly transformed into a golden stream of light. Cold sweat poured down her forehead, and her Observation Haki issued a severe warning. Her body didn't have time to use its armor, so she could only use Iron Body to block.

"Speed ​​is weight. Have you ever been kicked at the speed of light?"

The moment those words fell, Junzi only remembered that it seemed to be a naval admiral's catchphrase. The next second, she was kicked away by Uchiha Bufan, who appeared beside her. Her entire body turned into a streak of light and flew into the vast sea outside the ship.

boom! ! !

By the time everyone realized what was happening, a towering wave tens of meters high erupted from the surface of the ocean, and terrifying waves began to roll and surge outwards, crashing against the brown reefs covered with green seaweed.

The members of the Kuja Pirates stared wide-eyed and mouths agape. Even though they were surprised that their snake princess seemed to have used some kind of ability, the fact that a Celestial Dragon had been attacked and might even be killed was even more unthinkable. The only word left in their minds was shock.

At that moment, the two Boa sisters covered their mouths tightly, tears streaming down their faces, as if the humiliation they had suffered at the hands of the Celestial Dragons had vanished in an instant.

Tina, standing by the cabin door, hugged her pillow and leaned slightly against the wooden wall behind her. She chuckled to herself, her thoughts different from the others—it was all over.

A Celestial Dragon was attacked, and a Marine Admiral is about to be dispatched! And she, as a Marine officer, actually stood by and watched this happen; she'll probably be held accountable...

"A nice sight indeed."

On the roof of the ship's cabin, Uchiha Bufan stood with his arms crossed, dressed in a normal, unisex pajamas outfit of a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, with a muscular pink sleeping cap on his head. The salty sea breeze blowing from the sea made the cute sleeping cap sway back and forth.

"Alright, nothing happened. Everyone, just stay where you are and get back to what you were doing."

The members of the Kuja Pirates finally snapped out of their daze and began shouting.

"Long live Lady Snake!" xN

"Lady Boa Hancock, what was that ability you just used?! It looked like something a Marine Admiral would use..."

"Is that Admiral Kizaru named Borsalino?!"

"No way, could there be two identical Devil Fruits in this world?!"

Seeing that the situation was getting chaotic, Uchiha Bufan raised his hands to stop the noise and began to talk nonsense, "This is a Logia-type Light-Light Fruit, which is similar to the Glint-Glint Fruit. I discovered it by chance and then took it."

The Boa sisters and Tina: "......"

"I don't believe you!" The Boa sisters said that they had never seen any Devil Fruits anywhere on this island in all their time, and you just showed up and there are? Do you think we're fools?! Tina, on the other hand, had looked at the Navy's database of Devil Fruit illustrations and there was no such thing as the Logia-type Light-Light Fruit.

None of the three women exposed Uchiha Bufan's deception. Tina even returned the pillow to him, but Bufan said it was a bit worn and didn't quite suit his image, so he gave it to her. Tina almost laughed in exasperation. What would she do with a stinky man's pillow? But it wasn't a good idea to leave it anywhere; such supplies were relatively scarce in the cabin, and she didn't want to waste it.

After a moment's thought, Tina hugged her pillow and watched with the pirate crew to see if the Celestial Dragon would appear from the sea. When they found nothing, Tina's face showed a hint of despair. She then decided to go back to her room to report to Sengoku and see what to do.

He entered the room, closed the door, placed the pillow on the bedside table, and then stealthily took out a Den Den Mushi (a type of electric scooter). Suddenly remembering something, he opened the door again to check outside, and only after confirming that no one was around did he relax and look at the Den Den Mushi on the bed...

"?"

"Where's my pillow?!"

Tina then realized that her sweet, soft pillow had vanished; it had just been there a moment ago.

She started rummaging through drawers and cabinets, and after a while, she saw the tattered pillow on the bedside table. It was then that she suddenly realized that someone had just run out of pillows.

"Tina, don't be angry, Tina, don't be angry..."

Tina clenched her fists, placed Uchiha Bufan's pillow on her bed, and punched it several times before letting out a sigh of relief. Then, with a serious expression, she used the Den Den Mushi to dial Sengoku's number.

......

Sea surface.

thump--

Junzi stood atop the reef, her face grim and her body soaked to the bone.

If she hadn't used a 'treasure' called the Power Lock to modify her body, that attack would have been enough to kill her and send her sinking to the bottom of the sea.

"Very well. I'll remember this grudge."

Her gaze fell upon the sea monsters rushing towards her from the sea surface; she already knew what to use as her mount at sea.

Chapter 167 The lustful heart is inherent in all people.

Navy Headquarters.

In the Marshal's office, Sengoku received a statement from Tina, who claimed that a pink-haired girl with heterochromatic eyes wearing the black uniform of the Knights of God attempted to land on the Kuja Pirates' sea serpent ship, but was knocked away by Uchiha Fufan using what appeared to be Admiral Kizaru's Glint-Glint Fruit ability—and even uttered Kizaru's signature line.

“I understand.” Sengoku, wearing a seabird military cap, reflected a glint of white light through his glasses, then continued, “I roughly understand the power of the Glint-Glint Fruit. Don’t tell anyone else about this; it’s a top secret of the Navy.”

"Also, you must be careful when you come into contact with this Bai Bufan."

On the other end of the Den Den Mushi, Tina couldn't help but punch the broken pillow on the bed a few more times, causing Sengoku's Den Den Mushi to turn into an angry Den Den Mushi, leaving Sengoku completely confused. "Understood, Marshal."

At this moment, Tina heard that Fleet Admiral Sengoku hadn't expressed any anger over the Celestial Dragons being beaten, and she looked puzzled, continuing to ask, "Fleet Admiral, what about the Celestial Dragons?"

Zhan Guo pondered for a moment, then clasped his hands together. "Actually, there's something I haven't told you because I was worried you might leak it. But now, I doubt we can keep it a secret for much longer, so telling you won't hurt."

Tina listened with a somber expression.

"The Holy Land Mary Geoise".

"It was destroyed."

For a moment, Tina remained in a listening posture, completely unaware that Sengoku had just spoken. It wasn't until a while later, when she heard the creaking sound of the ship rocking and the room shaking, that Tina came to her senses.

"Marshal, are you kidding me? You're not just teasing Tina, are you? You can't joke like that!" Tina didn't think she liked the Celestial Dragons, but the Holy Land Mary Geoise represented the Celestial Dragons' home and the location of the World Government's headquarters, which made it hard not to believe.

Sengoku fell silent again, thinking that he also wished it were a joke so that the balance of the sea could continue, but it was a fact after all. "Colonel Tina, I beg you, you must get Bai Bufan on our side. He will be an important strategic weapon to stabilize the navy and the situation at sea in the future."

"I understand." Although Tina didn't understand Sengoku's words, as a Marine and a soldier, she only needed to strictly follow orders. When she hung up the Den Den Mushi, Tina was still in shock from the destruction of the Holy Land.

"How is this possible... Who could it be? Who could destroy the Holy Land right under the Navy's nose?"

"And what's the deal with that Celestial Dragon?" Tina recalled Junzi's appearance, but since the Marshal hadn't explained, she didn't feel comfortable asking any further questions.

"Never mind, let's continue with this mission."

dong dong dong.

There was a knock on the door. Tina, clutching her pillow, tensed up and quickly put the Den Den Mushi into the cabinet. Then, pretending to be nonchalant, she went to the door, opened it slightly, and saw a girl standing outside. She was one of the members of the pirate crew. "Um, is there something you need?"

The girl had a cold expression, and a venomous snake unique to Amazon Lily was coiled around her. The girl and the snake stared at Tina with displeasure. Tina's expression tightened, thinking that her actions had been discovered by the pirates, and her palms became slightly sweaty.

"Lady Snake Princess asked me to get you a new pillow."

"You're so lucky to have received such special instructions from Lady Snake Princess—"

The girl drew out her voice, filled with resentment. Only then did Tina notice that the girl was holding a brand-new pillow. She breathed a sigh of relief, smiled shyly, took the pillow, said thank you, and then prepared to close the door.

puff.

A hand was placed in the crack of the door, preventing Tina from closing it. Tina was immediately a little embarrassed, took a deep breath, and said with a smile, "Sorry, I almost pinched your hand. Is there anything else? Tina might need to rest now."

The girl blushed, her face haughty as she scanned Tina's figure with a hint of resentment. Looking down at herself, she felt a sense of helplessness. Her gaze occasionally wandered over Tina's room. "Um, I think I just heard you say that Lady Snake Princess's sleeping pillow is here with you, right?"

Upon hearing this, Tina smiled happily, immediately understanding what the girl was thinking, and nodded slightly, "Yes, what's wrong? Could it be... you want it?"

"Ahem. Since Lady Snake doesn't want it anymore, I'll take it to the warehouse and keep it for her as a backup."

Her girlish heart is obvious to everyone.

Tina saw through her intention. She had originally planned to give it to the girl directly, but considering that the girl needed a 'punching bag' to vent her anger on occasionally, she immediately refused, saying, "Sorry, I just lost this pillow. I'll give it to you another time."

"Lost, lost? You actually lost such a treasure?!" The girl looked incredulous, then shook her head, revealing an angry expression. "Are you lying to me?! I just saw you walking around on the deck with a pillow!"

"If Tina says it's lost, then it's lost." Tina's face immediately turned cold, and her tone became impatient. "Also, Tina is going to sleep. Thank you for the pillow, goodnight!"

boom!

The door slammed shut, startling the girl and the purple venomous snake on her body.

"Honestly, she even tried to take something from me to do that kind of thing. What an evil female pirate." Tina thought to herself, using her Observation Haki to sense the girl leaving the corridor before relaxing and continuing her rant.

She placed the pillow on the bed, looked at the two pillows on the bed, and for a moment, she seemed to think of something. She threw the new pillow into the corner and went to sleep directly on Uchiha Bufan's pillow, smelling the masculine scent that only men had, her face slightly flushed.

Am I at the age to get married...?

As a high-profile, popular female character who is an older single woman, Tina certainly wants to find a suitable marriage partner! But looking at the Navy, how many of them are decent-looking?

It seems like the only watchable thing is One Piece...

#

Red continent.

After the Thousand-Year Dragon incident, they found a final resting place for the Thousand-Year Dragon, said goodbye to the lovely Apis, and successfully crossed from the Red Line to the entrance to the first half of the Grand Line—Twin Capes.

Here you can choose which of seven routes to take your voyage, and each route will be different.

Meanwhile, at Twin Cape, Luffy, that hotheaded fool, was swept into the belly of the giant whale Laboon as always.

Looking at the sky that appeared inside, Nawaki hugged himself in despair, feeling like he had the same thought of jumping off a building since following Luffy.

"Why are you so impulsive? We could have easily left!"

"Who knows? But where is this?" Luffy didn't care at all, and instead stared blankly on the deck of the Going Merry, answering the question by looking at the rope tree above the Circus Ponte, which had a small section of its hull destroyed, not far away.

boom!

"You idiot!" Sanji punched Luffy hard on the head. Luffy looked innocent and said, "How can you blame me?! It was that guy who blocked our way and caused the bow of our Going Merry to be damaged."

He hugged his first-class seat on the Going Merry and cried, "My first-class seat!"

"Hahaha—" Roger laughed heartily, casually tossing the bottle into the gastric juices. "You're really not in a hurry at all. You need a big heart to be one of your crew members."

Although he wasn't a crew member on either ship, he was a deceased person temporarily using the place as a resting place. Once he found the 'ONE PIECE' he was looking for, he would part ways with the group without hesitation...

On the Circus Bones, both Hancock and Kurenai felt their hearts racing, and it took them quite a while to calm down. They were both Devil Fruit users, and if something went wrong inside the whale's belly, it would be a real problem.

Fortunately, the situation doesn't seem so bad now.

"Inside the whale's belly, there's a hidden world. Is this some kind of myth? Or perhaps another world?" Kurenai Yuhi thought of the Sage of Six Paths and the extraordinary world creation of the Uchiha clan. Seeing this environment that resembled the outer ocean, Kurenai Yuhi couldn't help but wonder if this was a tunnel created using the whale's intestines.

Hancock pinched her nose, her face twitching slightly. "I don't believe this is another world. The water here has a strange smell; if I'm not mistaken, it's the belly of a whale."

Kurenai Yuhi: "..."

Kurenai Yuhi remained silent for a while before sighing and saying helplessly, "Well, I thought I had time-traveled again."

"But now that you mention it, it doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with it," Mitarashi Anko replied nonchalantly, then spotted a small island in the pool of stomach acid and pointed excitedly, "Look! Someone lives here! Maybe there are sweets to eat~!"

Kurenai Yuhi and Hancock: "..."

You haven't been assimilated by Luffy, have you?

On the Going Merry, Sanji also wanted to make some sweets for Miss Red Bean, but unfortunately, he had run out of ingredients and couldn't buy any more.

Just then, the gate above the island slowly opened, revealing the image of an old man with white hair.

The old man didn't care about the group's appearance. After all, it's common to encounter 'newcomers' on the Grand Line. While it's rare for two pirate ships to arrive at once, it's not uncommon...

"Cass?! What are you doing here?"

Crocus frowned when he heard someone call his name, wondering if he had run into someone he knew. But seeing the flags of two unfamiliar pirate crews, he couldn't recall anyone he knew. Even the former empress of Amazon Lily was someone he had only seen once or twice in the news...

The old man's gaze swept across the room, landing on a middle-aged man in a red coat. His eyes widened instantly, his lips trembled, and he loosened the rope he was using to capture the giant octopus.

"Captain Roger?!"

"How could such a thing happen?!"

Crocus took off his reading glasses and rubbed them vigorously, but no matter how he looked at them, it really was Captain Roger waving to him from the Going Merry, and it was Captain Roger in his younger days.

"Karcas, you've gotten old, haven't you? How come you're living the good life inside a whale now?" Roger teased, seeing Krocas and remembering him in his youth.

"I...I..." Crocas had a lot to say, the kind of feeling one has when reuniting with a companion, but after muttering to himself for a long time, he still couldn't say a word.

Just as the situation reached a stalemate, the small door above the whale tunnel suddenly opened, and two goofballs came out carrying rocket launchers.

"We've come to take your dog's life, you old bastard!"

"You're absolutely right, Mr. 9!"

Before Roger could even utter the touching words of reunion, a large frown appeared above his head. Clenching his fist, he turned to look and muttered, "These young people nowadays, really..."

"I'll go." Hancock knew that she was the only one here who could fly, and that Roger's attack would inevitably tear apart Laboon the whale's stomach. When the situation was unclear, the 'Flying Technique' would be of great use.
