Pirate: I'm cracked, but my mutation talent is incredibly strong.

Temari, Kankuro, and Gaara deliberately engaged in idle chatter.

They actually managed to extract a lot of information from Shanks and Lu Ya.

Kamui and the others didn't bother to stop them. With their father watching from the shadows, what were they afraid of?

Kamui and Shamrock are also learning about the power system of this world.

When they learned that there was such a thing as water escape in this world.

They immediately became alert.

They didn't know whether these so-called water-based techniques could counter their Devil Fruit abilities.

They were eager to test the power of their water-style techniques against these ninjas, but they were also worried about exposing the weaknesses of the Devil Fruits.

They first tested the ordinary water of this world while taking a bath, and it had no effect whatsoever.

In order to find out as soon as possible whether the water-style technique would have any effect, they decided to spar with these ninjas beforehand.

Otherwise, when we actually face a water-based attack, I don't know if we'll be caught off guard.

"Brother, with Father here, go ahead and try."

"If they really want to restrain us, we can just take more serious preventative measures."

"We're not afraid of the ocean, so why would we be afraid of this water escape?"

Katakuri whispered to Kamui, "There are five main types of ninjutsu in this world."

The ninjas of Sunagakure are not skilled in water-style techniques, but Orochimaru is skilled in all kinds of ninjutsu.

If Water Release truly counters Devil Fruit abilities, then Kirigakure, the village most skilled in Water Release, would be their greatest enemy.

However, even without using their Devil Fruit abilities, they could still blast these ninjas apart using only their three types of Haki, physical skills, and swordsmanship.

Soon after, Katakuri proposed a sparring match with Orochimaru.

He also asked Orochimaru to use every kind of ninjutsu as much as possible.

Orochimaru also wanted to test the strength and trump cards of these divine children, so he did not refuse.

And so, at a rest stop along the way.

Amidst the shouts of Lu Ya and Shanks, Katakuri and Orochimaru engaged in a fierce battle.

This time, Katakuri did not use his two Devil Fruit abilities, nor did he use any of the three types of Haki. He simply relied on his powerful physique and physical skills to fight Orochimaru.

···

"Earth Release·Rock Bomb!"

"It's too weak! Let's switch!"

"Wind Release: Wind Slicing Technique!"

"Too weak, let's get another one!"

"Lightning Release..."

"Fire Release..."

Orochimaru possesses all the attributes of fire, wind, lightning, earth, water, yin, and yang, and he has a rudimentary understanding of all kinds of ninjutsu.

He has even studied sealing techniques and various forbidden and immortal arts.

Seeing Katakuri not even flinching, Orochimaru's snake-like vertical pupils suddenly contracted.

Even the Wind Release technique, with its powerful cutting force, couldn't break through Katakuri's defense.

What an astonishing level of physical defense!

Could it be that Katakuri's body is harder than the Raikage's?

"So strong!!"

Gaara and Temari were completely dumbfounded.

When faced with ninjutsu attacks, their only options besides using ninjutsu to defend themselves are to dodge.

They had never seen anything like Katakuri's behavior—standing still and taking all the ninjutsu attacks head-on—before they could even begin to describe it.

"Haha, Third Brother inherited Aunt Lingling's Iron Balloon Physique; most attacks can't break through his defenses..."

Lu Ya spoke smugly, as if he possessed the physique of an iron balloon.

But the next moment, his eyes widened suddenly!

"Third Brother, get out of the way!"

Lu Ya shouted in panic as he saw Orochimaru summon a giant water dragon that lunged at Katakuri.

"Water Release: Water Dragon Technique!"

Orochimaru was simply using all elemental ninjutsu as a routine exercise to probe his opponent's weaknesses.

Lu Ya's shouting caught his eye.

Are these divine children afraid of water escape techniques?

It's good to have weaknesses, because weaknesses can be exploited!

Katakuri did not dodge; a faint red light flashed in his sharp eyes!

Observation Haki that foresees the future, activated!

He saw himself being submerged by a water dragon.

Ha, these lousy water dragons can't break through his defenses at all, and haven't had any effect on him yet.

It seems that these water-based escape techniques are ineffective against their Devil Fruit abilities.

Let's try it again at the beach next time, and see if the seawater in this world has any power to restrain us.

"Third Brother!!"

Lu Ya stared in disbelief as Katakuri was submerged by the water dragon without even trying to dodge.

Even Shanks started to worry and was ready to rescue Katakuri at any moment.

Kamui, Ryoma, and Shamrock narrowed their eyes and entered a state of preparation.

"What are you yelling about!"

"It's just a water tap, useless!"

Katakuri stood on the water-covered ground, activating his Kirin Divine Fire to evaporate the water droplets on his body, appearing completely unaffected.

"Third Brother, are you alright?"

Lu Ya felt it was unbelievable. He ran to the water stains, touched them, and even jumped into a puddle.

"Hehe, I'm fine, this isn't seawater!"

Lu Ya muttered happily, which meant he didn't need to be afraid of these water-style ninjutsu at all.

Orochimaru and Chiyo were closely monitoring the reactions of these divine children.

Lu Ya's slight panic just now didn't seem like an act.

They actually thought these divine children were afraid of water escape techniques.

Katakuri turned out to be completely unharmed.

However, Lu Ya's muttering gave them a jolt of energy.

seawater?

Are they afraid of seawater?

This information is extremely important!

The thought that these divine children appeared out of nowhere from the depths of the desert is unbearable.

So it seems there's some truth to being afraid of seawater.

It seems I need to go to the beach and prepare some seawater.

When Shenwei and the others heard Lu Ya's voice, their faces darkened.

Doesn't this tell others that their weakness is the seawater?

But never mind, in their world they still dare to go on sea adventures.

The so-called weakness of seawater has been greatly reduced for them.

Falling into the sea is practically impossible.

Furthermore, it's still unknown whether the seawater in this world will be of any use to them.

Even if seawater is useful, so what? Do you really think Kamui's Logia-type freezing ability is just for show?

With one move, Ice Age, I'll show these ninjas what it means to freeze the sea.

The sparring match quickly fizzled out.

Katakuri didn't use his full abilities, and Orochimaru didn't use his signature ninjutsu either; they didn't even reveal their sealing techniques or other forbidden techniques.

The journey passed quickly.

A few days later, they quickly entered the Land of Fire and arrived at the outskirts of Konoha Village.

The Root ninjas, who had been lying in ambush, finally got to their target.

A Root Jonin, who was extremely skilled in sensory ninjutsu, indeed could not detect any chakra aura on these strangely dressed targets.

Just as the intelligence reports indicated, these are simply individuals with special bloodlines who excel in physical combat.

As everyone knows, there is a hierarchy of contempt in the ninja world.

That is, ninjutsu-type ninjas despise taijutsu-type ninjas.

"Once they're alone, we'll grab one and take them back!"

The Root ninjas quickly discovered Shanks and Lu Ya, who liked to detach themselves from the group and wander around aimlessly.

The root squad quickly set its sights on these two guys.

Didn't Orochimaru and Chiyo notice these sensations?

No, they have already noticed, but they are not saying anything.

They waited for the Konoha ninjas or Danzo's Root members to provoke these divine children.

If some troublemakers from Konoha came along to bully Katakuri, this tall little giant, it would be even more perfect.

Given the three princes' domineering and ruthless nature, how dare those unruly Konoha citizens mock him, point fingers at him, and criticize him...

Then this irritable divine son will definitely lash out and hurt people, or even go on a killing spree!

Over the past few days, Orochimaru and Chiyo have gotten a general idea of ​​the personalities of these divine children.

The most bloodthirsty of the three divine children is Katakuri!

Calling him a killer star and a demon would not be an exaggeration.
