I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 350

"real or fake?"

"That Teach killed a 'Beast Mother'?"

"He actually managed to fight 'Sheren' and escape unscathed?!"

At Tokyo Magic Academy, groups of extraordinary individuals gathered together, staring in astonishment at the intelligence reports in their hands.

Who is Sheren?

The strongest demon in the Nine-Tailed Fox faction in a one-on-one duel.

She carries the blood of Amaterasu, and in a sense, she is the ancestor of the island nation's royal family.

Such a powerful figure, who once terrified the island nation, suddenly became a stepping stone; these people were indignant, with a hint of disbelief.

"It's just publicity,"

A well-informed person revealed the truth.

"It is said that the extraordinary individuals over there were relentlessly pursued by the She-ren, but they managed to escape only because the Sea Kingdom was attacking the Nine-Tailed Fox's forces."

"It's not a coincidence."

The burly fighter/capitalist/extortionist, Idemitsu Toyoda, also joined the discussion.

"The Allied Forces paid a heavy price to persuade the Sea Kingdom to launch a diversionary attack; at the same time, a mysterious figure from the Akatsuki organization named 'Ku' appeared on the battlefield, which allowed Teach and the others to escape with their lives."

As the island nation's largest capitalist, Idemitsu Toyota is very familiar with operations in the southern seas:

Whether they are superhumans or soldiers, they all have spies from the Toyota family!

So,
"He is a shrewd, ambitious, and capable man."

Everyone else praised it.
By plunging into the mist and slaying a 'Beast Mother', the Beast's replenishment rate was greatly reduced.

It can also mobilize the Sea Kingdom and the Akatsuki organization to restrain the Nine-Tailed Fox's power.

Furthermore, the fact that they were fleeing also proves their formidable strength.
Others wouldn't even be able to run for their lives when facing a retainer!
This kind of man is known as the Emperor of the Sea;

It's not impossible that in the future, the Philippines and Indonesia could be integrated, becoming the common leader of both countries and leaping into a world power.

Great!

Despite the numerous supernatural disasters that occur in this island nation, those with advanced magical abilities all consider themselves 'superior'.

After all, in terms of both quantity and quality, the number of extraordinary individuals here far surpasses that of other parts of the world.

But now, that Teach has faced the great demon twice.

This answered all those who questioned his abilities:

Demon level!

no doubt,

This made those who knew about it feel a sense of urgency.

It's one thing to be unable to compare with those ancient demons, but if you can't even compare with other extraordinary beings, wouldn't that make you seem too useless?

"pity,"

"What happens next will definitely surprise you, won't it?"

In the principal's office, watching the students whose footsteps had become hurried, You, standing behind the window, stroked her chin.

"never mind,"

"Anyway, it was all a scheme by the 'Nine-Tailed Force' and some ambitious person."

What does this have to do with me, a sorcerer 'principal'?

Mount Suzuka
"Brother Teach, I salute you!"

"I heard you fought that 'Shepherd'? He's incredibly strong—"

A group of strange-looking sea creatures sat on rocks of all sizes, drinking and marveling at the sights.

Looking at the man sitting cross-legged on the central boulder, their eyes were filled with admiration and longing.

That's Hyuga Toneri!
As members of the 'Sea Kingdom' under the Sea Kingdom's power, they have followed their young master Ōtakemaru, general Kyujira, and Kani-hime ever since they shed their muddled animalistic forms. Having clashed with the Nine-Tails' forces many times, they have naturally witnessed the power of Hyuga Toneri.

Apart from the young master, even the 'elder' Lord Haiming was helpless against the other party.

These 'Sea Kingdom' members were ordered that if they encountered Hyuga Toneri, they should immediately dive into the sea to avoid battle, and would not be punished in any way.

That's right. In the beginning, the so-called "Sea Kingdom Clan" were mostly various "water clones" and "earth clones". However, as someone became stronger, they were gradually replaced by animals that obtained chakra. Now, apart from a few leaders, the other members are all "real people" and are no longer just various clones acting out their roles.

"Hahaha~~"

"I just barely escaped with my life. Cough cough,"

Teach smiled and waved his hand, then suddenly felt a sharp pain in his face and coughed, clutching his chest.

?

"Brother Teach, are you injured?"

"Haven't you had the carp treated yet? I'll go find her."

"No need—"

Teach raised his hand to stop the Sea Kingdom members who wanted to invite the carp spirit over, and forced a smile.

"Small injury."

"That Mr. Xiang Sheren is indeed formidable."

He casually changed the subject, talking about the raid that had just taken place.

How to hunt down the demon mother, how to wreak havoc, how to hold off the servants so that everyone else can escape first, and finally how to escape alive.

The people of the 'Sea Kingdom' were filled with fervor upon hearing this!

If I were also there.
"correct,"

Just as the naive 'Sea Kingdom Clan' were listening with rapt attention, Teach abruptly changed the subject.

"I won't be able to come over for the next few days."

These words were so abrupt that they startled the 'Sea Kingdom Clan' who were drinking and chatting.

"I just organized a raid on the Nine-Tails' forces. They definitely won't expect me to launch another surprise attack so soon, therefore:"

Teach's meaning was clear: he wanted to organize another force to break into the fog!
? !
"Brother Teach, let us help you!"

A member of the 'Sea Kingdom' with a long, serrated nose, clearly a shark in disguise, stood up.

"The Nine-Tailed Fox forces are our enemies. It's too boring for us to wait for the allied forces to use the 'Mist-Dispelling Bead' to clear away the fog and then go and occupy it!"

Besides the so-called 'Seven Warlords of the Sea', the Iberian Empire also has many other extraordinary forces, large and small; instead of participating in the battles in the southern seas, they have been advancing steadily from the north as the vanguard of the sea kingdom: their progress is slow, but their advantage lies in safety.

After all, behind them were the Sea Kingdom troops led by Kyujira and Kani-hime, and Mount Suzuka floating in the sky!

In short, the battlefield in this sea area is divided into two parts:

One part was the maritime kingdom that was constantly advancing southward.

The other part is Nicaea, located south of the Philippines, where they resist the Nine-Tails' allied forces.

Caught in the middle is the Nine-Tailed Fox force, shrouded in mist over 100,000 square kilometers.

"That's right, Brother Teach!"

"We're sticking with you—"

"We are all 'Sea Kingdom People,' we have nothing to fear from the Nine-Tailed Fox's forces!"

Upon hearing Sawtooth Shark's words, the other sea creatures began to cheer, some fueled by the alcohol, others genuinely expressing their feelings.

Despite being a mere Nine-Tailed Fox force, led by Brother Teach, they too must achieve great deeds to repay their young master's kindness!
"This is too much."

"Brother Teach, do you think we're too weak?"

Faced with the unfriendly expression of the saw-toothed shark, Teach shook his head with a wry smile.

"No, how could that be?"

"Since the brothers are so enthusiastic, I, Teach, won't hold back: this time, let's do something big!"

With that, Teach stood up, tilted his head back, and drank the wine jar in his hand in one gulp.

"Destroy the Nine-Tails!"

"it is good!"

"Big Brother is truly generous!"

The other members of the 'Sea Kingdom' raised their wine jars.
The Sea Kingdom does not restrict their freedom. Apart from fighting, these 'Sea Kingdom people' usually live in the Suzuka Mountains.

Now, everyone will follow 'Brother Teach' to launch a surprise attack on the Nine-Tailed Fox's forces, which makes all the 'Sea Kingdom' members extremely excited and fearless.

It's done!

Maluku Strait,
A large number of warships have gathered in this sea area.
The Commonwealth fleet, which had retreated to the Banda Sea, returned to the front lines, and most of the superhumans belonging to the Allied Forces were also here; together with the island nation's Superhuman Countermeasures Department, the Luffy Adventure Group, and the Cervantes family, it could be said that there were 'superhumans' everywhere, and wolf-level beings were everywhere. Even if sea serpents came, they could fight them.

"coming!"

"The Emperor is about to arrive!"

At the shouts of the communications officer, a large ground-effect vehicle skimmed across the sea; it was the 'Queen Anne's Revenge'.

This ground-effect vehicle, while not as large as the "Sacred Tree," was still a hundred meters tall and capable of carrying thousands of people. It was ordered by Marshall Teach from the "Kasakain family" at great expense, a powerful means of transportation traversing this sea area, and also his mobile palace. The massive aircraft began to descend, its base made of "Sacred Tree" touching the seawater, stirring up a spray of water.

After gliding across the sea and leaving a white trail of tens of thousands of meters, it finally slowed down and came to a stop in front of the Allied fleet.

"Hahaha~~~"

Before the person even appears, their signature laughter rings out.

From——

In the sea.

Splash, splash, splash

One by one, figures leaped out of the sea and landed on the ground effect vehicle.

Leading the group was Teach, behind whom were eight-armed octopus-men, lobster-men covered in armor, shark-men with serrated noses, and human superhumans who were seven parts human and three parts fish; they were seven parts fish and three parts human: this was the symbol of the 'Sea Kingdom' belonging to the Sea Kingdom.

"Mr. Teach, who are they?"

A long ladder was extended and connected to the 'Queen Anne'. Allied personnel jogged forward and respectfully inquired.

"They are reinforcements I invited from the Sea Kingdom. Brothers, come with me!"

At Teach's call, these bizarre 'sea creatures' followed him onto the deck of the 'Queen Elizabeth'.

As this group of extraordinary beings of varying heights, builds, and builds boarded the ship, the gazes of other factions on the deck all drifted over.

?

"They are all at the Wolf level, with a few at the Tiger level."

Behind Fujisei, a highly skilled special police officer, adept at reconnaissance, was giving a quiet report.

"Hmm, he's brought in so many extraordinary beings; this Teach is definitely someone who can do big things."

Director Takeya escorted Mai Kawai back to Tokyo to seek Yuuki's 'treatment' for her strange limb growths; therefore, the staff of the Extraordinary Countermeasures Department here will be temporarily led by Seiko Fuji.

"Governor!"

On the other side, a group of extraordinary individuals came forward.

These extraordinary individuals are, of course, Teach's 'Royal Guard'.

They are numerous and quite powerful.

“These are all my people,”

"Remember, they are my brothers—"

After introducing himself to the 'Sea Kingdom Clan' and his subordinate superhumans, Teach looked toward the direction of the Island Nation's Superhuman Countermeasures Department.

"Ms. Fujisaki Seiko, where is Director Takeya?"

"The director has returned to Tokyo on business, so I'm in full charge here."

After receiving Fujiko's reply, Teach nodded and turned to glance across the deck:

Luffy's Adventure Team, the Cervantes Family, Old Man Song, and Anne. Except for the guy who still doesn't know where he is and who obtained the 'Kusanagi Sword', all six Shichibukai are gathered here.

"General Horatio Nelson, shall we explain?"

“Come on, Mr. Teach.”

The English admiral raised his hand in acknowledgment.

The Commonwealth has a million soldiers on this battlefield, but compared to the enemy, they are outnumbered.

No matter how many ordinary soldiers there are, they cannot withstand the black flames, let alone the great demons.

The only thing that can influence the outcome of a battle is B-rank, also known as Demon-rank!

And Teach is a Demon-level character.

"Everyone!"

Since the Allied forces are being so modest, then Teach will not be polite.

The giant-like man walked to the center of the deck; his three-meter height made him visible to everyone.

"I'm the one who gathered everyone here; and as for why, many of you probably already have a guess. That's right—"

"That means a full-scale counterattack against the Nine-Tails' forces!"

Amidst the deck full of extraordinary beings, and the extraordinary individuals listening intently, Teach clenched his fist, his face contorted with anger.

"Ever since the Nine-Tailed Fox appeared, they have ravaged the country, conquered cities and territories, and treated us like pigs and dogs!"

"Indiscriminate slaughter, solely for the purpose of killing and stealing souls to resurrect their kind."

"More than 300 million people in Indonesia have been displaced, and countless families have been torn apart."

"However, neither airplanes nor artillery, nor tanks nor aircraft carriers can stop their advance!"

Only Teach's voice echoed across the entire aircraft carrier deck.

"We have suffered defeat after defeat, and retreated again and again!"

"but--"

brush,

He raised his hand and pointed at the 'sea kingdom' people.
"It's different now!"

“At this critical moment, the ‘Sea Kingdom’ extended a helping hand to us.”

"Many of us here have received the blessings of the Sea Kingdom and the support of our Sea Kingdom brothers; we will surely defeat the Nine-Tailed Fox forces and let them know that we humans are not lambs to be trifled with!"

?

Many people had guessed why Teach had gathered everyone again, but hearing him say it himself was still shocking.

If this operation succeeds, Teach will definitely be a man who ushers in a new era!

"Perhaps we really have misunderstood him?"

Next to Luffy, the navigator girl tossed her hair.

"We've clashed before, and his actions haven't exactly been ethical. But he's fighting for humanity."

He absolutely deserves the title of hero.

“Teach is a good person,”

Even the long-nosed sniper couldn't help but nod in agreement.

But Luffy frowned; he felt something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"Both of you, don't participate in the next operation."

?

To the navigator's and sniper's astonishment, Ruff explained.

"You and Xiao Jin stay here and keep an eye on our ship, ready to come to our aid at any time."

"Brother Teach, you name who we'll cut down, and we'll cut down whoever you say we'll cut down!"

"That's right, just the Nine-Tails' forces!"

"war!"

While the crowd was either shocked or discussing, the 'Sea Kingdom Clan' had already started shouting and cheering.

They were originally 'animals', and their intelligence was relatively recent; coupled with their constant fighting and cultivation, their personalities were rather...straightforward? Their style of doing things was:
Enemy? Damn it!

Enemy? Fight!

"I also invited a guest for this operation."

As Teach finished speaking, a mysterious figure dressed in a black robe with red clouds and a wind chime hat appeared beside him in a flash.

"Even Lord 'Kong' has joined?"

"Two Ghost-level beings, it's a sure thing!"

Most superhumans only know that this mysterious person, codenamed 'Void,' once fought against the sea serpent and forced the Sheren to retreat.

But the truly well-informed bigwigs knew very well that beneath this disguise was a little girl.

The world's most wanted criminal: Jiu Kong Yao Ai!

But, what does that matter?
As long as she stands up against the Nine-Tailed Fox's forces, a mere wanted notice is nothing; a royal pardon can be issued immediately, and even amending the laws for her would be no problem.

"Wow, what a grand gesture!"

Pushing up his brown sunglasses, Romain Cervantes, the patriarch of the Cervantes family, sighed.

"Two Ghost-level, more than ten Tiger-level, and thousands of Wolf-level forces—this power is enough to overthrow a major power."

"Yes, Master."

The tall man in the black suit beside him echoed,

"But in doing so, the king of this sea..."

"It's alright, let him be in the limelight for a while, we have plenty of time."

Unfortunately, what Roman didn't know was that a thought also flashed through the passionate Teach's mind: there's no time left.
