Immortality begins with the ninjas of Konoha

In the Flower Room, Im had already disappeared. Three of the Five Elders quickly rushed towards the underground entrance.

They had just been reporting to Im in the Flower Room when the lord suddenly unleashed a powerful aura, and the thing they had feared for years had finally happened.

The branches spread silently in the room of flowers. Furukawa Osamu, who had arrived here, carefully sensed the surroundings and confirmed that the place was shrouded in unknown energy. The vitality he had sensed outside the castle was now gathering here.

Looking at the outstretched branches, Furukawa Osamu silently activated [Gathering], and soon a familiar energy appeared in his hand.

"Mixed with planetary energy?"

Although it was different from the pure planetary energy of the ninja world, Furukawa Osamu could still barely make out that this special room seemed to be related to the giant tree at the bottom of the sea.

Before he could think too much, the black, domineering arcs of electricity crackled and spread over. Furukawa realized that the other party had discovered him, so he simply converted the energy surrounding his split spirit into domineering energy.

"boom!!"

Under the cover of night, the clouds surrounding the sacred site, which stood ten thousand meters in the sky, vanished instantly, and the overwhelming force of the collision caused two arcs of electricity of different colors to spread wildly through the air.

The continuous clashes of their domineering auras caused fires to appear outside Pangu City. Before the fires could spread, a monster with a bird's head, wings, claws, and a snake's body appeared in the sky.

The fire was instantly dispersed by the violent airflow, and the members of the Knights of God silently arrived at the castle.

The strange bird flapped its wings, and Marcus Mazsan's angry voice echoed from the sky:

"The domineering aura has dissipated. Begin the search immediately!"

The young man with the same face as Shanks knelt on the ground and responded silently, while the other members beside him vanished instantly—something the Holy Land had never experienced before.

Inside a suite in Pangu City, Furukawa Osamu opened his crimson eyes and moved around in the enemy's lair. Sure enough, he was sensed. Considering Im's possession and control abilities, it was clear that the enemy's soul was also very special, just like his.

The monsters' howls echoed outside the castle, and the castle itself trembled slightly. Apart from the monsters, no one within five kilometers should be able to remain conscious.

The turbulent night did not end until dawn broke and the sun once again shone over Mary Geoise.

The royal family members arrived early outside the Hall of Power, summoned by the Five Elders, each with a look of shock on their faces...

When Saint Satan, leaning on his cane, appeared before the crowd, he surveyed them expressionlessly, and then gave a simple, emotionless command:

"The World Conference has been postponed for two days. Please stay in your room and cooperate with the investigation during this time."

“An enemy has infiltrated the castle and damaged important facilities. Before capturing this thug who has provoked the World Government, we have a responsibility to protect our fellow members.”

"The food will be delivered to your room, please enjoy it. The meeting will proceed as scheduled in two days."

Many people were seeing the "supreme authority" for the first time. Satan's majestic face caused some members of the royal family to involuntarily lower their heads, and no one present objected.

Osamu Furukawa and Judge stood at the back of the crowd, and when Saint Satan waved to signal them to leave, the two of them walked to the front.

"Even the Five Elders have been alerted? Has someone invaded Mary Geoise again?"

"Could it be the fish-men again?"

"How could this be? The Five Elders didn't show up when the Fishmen liberated the slaves last time. What exactly happened last night?"

"Oh no, will the World Government use this as an excuse to attack us? Apparently, some buildings have already been destroyed..."

Fear began to spread among the royal family members. The sacred site was on fire. They had never personally experienced such a thing. Even if that fish-man hero liberated the slaves, Pangu City should still be safe and sound, right?

"Xiu, you felt that domineering aura, didn't you?"

"He is simply a superhuman being. I haven't encountered many strong individuals, but he is stronger than anyone I can remember."

Furukawa Osamu looked astonished. He wasn't lying, because Im's domineering aura was indeed beyond his imagination. It seemed that the other party had used the same technique as him, which was to directly transform from the soul.

Judge had no doubts; this was the Five Elders' home, and no one would dare to attack it and then stay there. Such provocative behavior would only result in destruction by the World Government.

"It seems this year's World Conference will be hastily concluded, and the issue of the Seven Warlords of the Sea will probably not be discussed anymore."

Furukawa Osamu was still experiencing the latest energy wave he received from the straw hat, a technique that allowed him to leverage more external energy using his own Conqueror's Haki.

The other party is not simply "powerful," but has conducted in-depth exploration of this world, and may even have gained the planet's recognition, becoming a "protagonist."

"King Judge, you are wrong about the Seven Warlords of the Sea. The Kingdom of Alabasta will still have questions."

"This policy will have a profound impact. Legal plundering can only temporarily deter those pirates, but in the long run, the Seven Warlords of the Sea will become the greatest evil!"

Cobra expressed his views with a firm expression. The kings around him looked at each other in dismay. Would going against the World Government and the Navy end badly?

"Alabastan welcomes HEART! My people need jobs!"

“Mr. Osamu Furukawa, welcome to invest in Alabasta. I will show you my utmost sincerity.”

Judge looked at the stubborn king with a strange expression, while Furukawa Osamu smiled kindly, shook hands with Cobra, and immediately gave an affirmative answer:

"We will expand our business to the Grand Line as soon as possible, and HEART will definitely take on more social responsibility in Alabasta!"

"Welcome!"

Chapter 10 "Stealing the Country - Part 1" (6500 words)

In the year 1531 of the Sea Calendar, two years had passed since the last World Conference, and the Drum Kingdom had undergone tremendous changes during this period.

Winter Island remains Winter Island, but after the previous king died of illness, the new king of Wapol led this great medical nation astray.

A nation once renowned for its medical expertise has begun expelling doctors. This absurd policy has left not only the people of the Drum Kingdom bewildered, but also the nearby Alabasta Kingdom, which finds it equally perplexing.

The last World Conference ended without any public announcement and in a somewhat bizarre manner, after which the Kingdom of Alabasta welcomed HEART's arrival.

Faced with a shortage of medical resources, the Drum Kingdom quickly "lent a helping hand," and in just over a year, nearly 50 experienced doctors chose to work there.

What followed shocked the people of Alabasta even more, as the new King Wapol declared that "doctors will serve only the royal family!"

The outrageous policies led to an increasing number of doctors moving around Alabasta. After continuously absorbing medical resources, HEART began to expand its business along the Grand Line and quickly captured a large market share.

It was thought that the Drum Kingdom would immediately adjust its policies in the face of this situation, but instead, King Wapol intensified his efforts to seize medical resources.

On the very first day of March, Drum Kingdom made a grand announcement about the birth of "Doctor 20"!

The 20 elite doctors selected by King Wapol will serve only the royal family, and ordinary people are not allowed to receive treatment from any doctor without permission.

Even though news was relatively scarce in the first half of the Grand Line, the name "Mad King Wapol" began to circulate on several nearby islands.

Meanwhile, various rumors circulated about that strange world conference, but without the support of the World Economic News, most of the rumors only spread among the member states.

-

As spring arrives and flowers bloom, the Drum Kingdom is shrouded in a blizzard, and the severe weather has left many people bedridden.

Even though the policies were outrageous enough, some people still followed the king's rules, and more and more people chose to kneel down and beg for treatment.

Cromarimon, patrolling the villages, looked at the people kneeling in the snow outside their houses and nodded with satisfaction. As an official valued by His Majesty the King, he had to make these commoners understand what "gratitude" meant.

Wearing a yellow cloak and sporting a black afro, Cromarimon stood like a giant "light bulb" in the snowstorm, drawing crowds of people suffering from illness to his side.

Seeing this, Jess, the strategist carrying a bow and arrows and wearing a blue-green clown mask, grinned slightly exaggeratedly, crossed his long arms, and chuckled as he exclaimed:

"His Majesty the King truly understands these lowly people. After 'Doctor 20' was announced, no one resisted anymore!"

"That idiot Dalton is already in jail. Let's see who will speak up for them this time."

Cromarimon grinned smugly as he looked at the silent crowd kneeling before the houses. After a low chuckle, he shouted:

"Listen, I am about to convey His Majesty the King's latest decree!"

"Reporting a doctor who has absconded can earn you 'Doctor 20' assistance."

"There is also a reward for capturing doctors who try to escape."

"Let us rejoice for His Majesty the Benevolent King! Thank you, King Wapol, for your willingness to invest precious medical resources in you all!"

Amid the blizzard, the people, their faces red from the cold, gritted their teeth and bowed their heads upon hearing these decrees. Everyone knew that some would inevitably compromise and choose to receive treatment.

The new king seems to enjoy seeing the ugly side of human nature, and as people start hurting each other, more and more outrageous decrees will be issued.

"Hahahaha!"

"Hail and give thanks! What are you waiting for? Kneel down and cheer for His Majesty the King!"

Cromarimon and Jess, laughing and shouting orders at the forefront, watched as the soldiers behind them lowered their heads, their bodies trembling as they knelt in worship, many clenching their fists.

When the group left, the families who had received the promise of medical assistance returned to their homes in silence. The precious medical resources had divided the public, and calls for resistance had disappeared.

The snow was falling heavier and heavier. In a wooden cabin on the edge of the forest, 131-year-old Dr. Gureva was treating a girl with a high fever.

The hunter father dared not look away until his daughter opened her eyes, then he choked out in a low voice:

"That's great, thank you so much! I'll definitely save enough money..."

Dr. Gureva, with her long, snow-white hair, blue sunglasses, and purple crop top, waved her hand, indicating that she hadn't charged any medical fees in the past two years.

"Money is not the problem; the problem is that medicines are already in short supply."

“If this continues, the country will eventually be left with only doctors who serve the royal family, and they will monopolize all medical resources.”

"Those who are capable have already left. Those who remain are either stubborn people like me or spineless cowards."

"The recent flu outbreak has drastically reduced the availability of herbs, making herbal collection increasingly difficult, which is not a good sign."

Gureva pulled a bottle of liquor from her backpack, tilted her head back, and took a large gulp. Behind her sunglasses, worry appeared in her eyes. This country was sick; the "disease" was pulling the backbone out of its people.

The hunters, who made their living by hunting, also noticed the changes in the past two years. The old king suddenly died after returning from the World Conference, and the new king seemed to be possessed by a demon.

As an ordinary person who only knew how to hunt, the middle-aged man was helpless. He felt ashamed of his thoughts, but still stammered and asked in a low voice:

"Dr. Kureha... um... is there... is there any way to leave this country?"

Gureva did not mock the other person's idea. She had lived for so long and experienced so much. It was a perfectly normal choice for an ordinary person to want to leave a harsh environment.

"That Wapol guy seems to have formed a pirate crew, and he's probably started blocking shipping lanes recently."

"We are on the Grand Line, and if we want to leave, we need someone to meet us."

"Looking back now, it was a wise choice for those doctors who left two years ago. They should be doing well in the North Sea and Alabasta."

Noticing the middle-aged man's increasingly pale complexion, Gureva sighed, draped her heavy coat over herself, and stood up to softly comfort him:

"Everything will be alright!"

“When a country is sick, a ‘doctor’ will naturally come to treat it.”

"Be careful not to get caught by those lunatics. Stay home until you recover."

"Thank you, Dr. Kureha!"

As Gureva left the cabin, a snowball the size of a baby's fist smeared her face. The old woman cursed under her breath, looked up at the sky, and saw the snow falling heavier and heavier.

"Damn it, do you want to make the whole country even sicker?!"

The gloomy sky responded with dense snowballs. Guleva sighed again. Trekking through the woods, buffeted by the strong winds, the old woman finally couldn't take it anymore.

"Damn this weather! Damn the king! Is this divine retribution?!"

...

On the coast of the Drum Kingdom, a massive multi-sailed ship covered in steel armor rests quietly near the port.

The hippopotamus prow under the crown looks straight ahead, and the massive hull looks more like a palace, with the pirate flag hanging there completely out of place with the ship's style.

Perhaps because this giant ship only sailed in the surrounding waters after its completion, the soldiers on board were not on guard and were mostly drinking and bragging in the warm cabins.

As the waves continued to surge, a yellow patch suddenly appeared on the sea behind the giant ship. The yellow patch gradually expanded, and a yellow submarine slowly emerged from the sea.

Inside the submarine, Bepo, wearing a yellow bodysuit, had already put a rope around his neck. The polar bear, tears welling in his eyes, loudly berated himself:

"It's all my fault for misreading the nautical chart!"

"I'm still so useless. Even though we've been together so many times, I still make mistakes. It would be better if I just died!"

Pekin, who was in charge of steering, scratched his head awkwardly. Shaki, who came out of the engine room, ripped the rope off the polar bear's head and complained loudly in annoyance:

"We almost navigated into an unknown eddy. I always say don't look at nautical charts while eating!"

Sugar, who was seasick, already had "mosquito coil eyes." She was only 12 years old. She had beautiful fantasies before boarding the ship, but those fantasies were completely shattered after entering the sea. This submarine was not a place for girls to ride.

Feeling equally nauseous, Luo struggled to sit up and looked at the three of them helplessly, asking:

"Do you guys usually travel this route like this?"

"Those doctors from the Kingdom of Drums to the North Sea seem to have never encountered this situation before..."

"An accident! It was all an accident!"

With tears welling up in his eyes, Bepo explained loudly that the Polar Submarine, built by Wolff, was mostly reliable.

Monet chuckled as she emerged from the lounge, while Baby-5, following behind, angrily glared at the group, pulling Furukawa Osamu along with her. This was the worst ship she had ever been on.

Monet, who will turn 20 in a few months, has reached her peak physical condition with the help of Osamu Furukawa. She is 2 meters tall, with a curvaceous figure that is both voluptuous and powerful.
