Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 366 Mr. Buggy, there is a golden palace built by the progenitor of the Celestial Dragons in Alabasta!

Is this a spy planted in the Navy by the Konoha Pirates?

Aokiji recognized Akihara Kagura's identity immediately. Apart from some senior and friends in the Navy, who in the normal Navy would dare to smile at him, a Navy Admiral?

I heard...

The spies planted in the Navy by the Konoha Pirates weren't very strong.

Aokiji scrutinized Akihara Kagura, seemingly trying to figure out what was so remarkable about this person that made him a member of the Konoha Pirates' Marine crew.

If he's just a guy with a wicked personality but no real strength, then we'll find an opportunity to get rid of him in the future, and the Konoha Pirates probably won't break ties with him over that.

"You want to kill me."

Akihara Kagura smiled and revealed Aokiji's thoughts.

"Ara ara...did you figure it out?"

Aokiji rubbed his forehead, not wanting to deny his own thoughts: "Some things become less valuable when you have too much of them. One of these things is enough..."

"I actually think the more the better..."

Kagura Akihara chuckled lightly, seemingly unconcerned about Aokiji's killing intent. She even offered a timeframe: "But not on Drum Island, at least. How about I give you a timeframe? If you want to kill me, you'd better do it before I get the Rumble-Rumble Fruit..."

"..."

The languid look in Aokiji's eyes vanished instantly!

Rumble-Rumble Fruit!

This guy actually has information about the Rumble-Rumble Fruit?

Even among Logia-type Devil Fruits, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit is among the most powerful, with its speed and power even surpassing that of the Glint-Glint Fruit!

Most importantly, once this guy gets the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, the Navy will definitely value a powerful Logia-type Devil Fruit user. If he trains hard at the Navy Headquarters in the future, he will most likely become a Navy Admiral!

Keep up the good work!

Kagura Akihara looked up at the tall Aokiji and encouraged him, "I should be able to get the Rumble-Rumble Fruit this month, but you don't have much time left..."

After saying that, Akihara Kagura and Karin were about to leave. This Navy Headquarters lieutenant didn't care whether his behavior was polite enough to a Navy admiral who had come to his senses.

"Less than a month has passed?"

Aokiji could only watch helplessly as Akihara Kagura's figure disappeared into the distance.

If Akihara Kagura were to obtain the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, the Konoha Pirates might not be willing to let him kill them. In fact, given the terrifying Logia-type Devil Fruit power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, killing them would become an impossible task...

"Something's happened!"

A marine rushed towards the castle, hoping to request reinforcements, but unexpectedly encountered Admiral Aokiji, who had been sent by Sengoku: "Admiral Aokiji has already arrived? Urgent news has come from the warships—a pirate crew is trying to kidnap Buggy the Clown!"

"I'm on my way..."

Aokiji mentally calculated the time.

According to the plan he discussed with Fleet Admiral Sengoku and the Konoha Pirates, all he needed to do was arrive at the most crucial moment to stop the enemy from rescuing Buggy the Clown and then block the enemy's fatal attack on the Marines. It was just a rather unremarkable performance.

At the port of the Drum Kingdom.

The navy on the warship was thrown into chaos.

Because they lacked a commander, they were no match for the enemy at this point; of course, even with a commander, it was unlikely they could defeat the enemy...

A wooden dragon emerged from the water and immediately wrapped itself around the warship. Vines spread from the dragon's body, binding the sailors tightly.

"What kind of ability is this?!"

"Fire! Fire!"

The navy personnel left behind were completely powerless to resist!

All the navy personnel on the warship responsible for guarding Pakistan were bound up with vines!

While Buggy the Clown and his crew were still wondering what was going on, a vine suddenly opened the cage in the cabin, releasing all the pirates inside.

"You may leave now."

The vine slowly coalesced into a human shape, transforming into the appearance of a man with long black hair. He spoke softly, "We've come to rescue people."

"Were we rescued?"

Everyone in the Buggy Pirates was so excited that tears welled up in their eyes.

Since they were captured, they have been imprisoned in a dark and sunless cabin, and they can't believe that they still have any hope of escaping from here!

"I can never repay such a great kindness..."

Bucky the Clown was incredibly excited. He was terrified of being framed for killing a Celestial Dragon and being executed, but at this moment, he seemed to see a glimmer of hope for survival.

"Don't talk about repaying me..."

The honest-looking man seemed a little embarrassed and took the initiative to say, "We've prepared a boat for you. You'd better leave here quickly; the general will be here soon..."

"Is the general coming?"

"Run!"

All the pirates were so frightened that they immediately rushed out!

Bucky the Clown and Alvida charged ahead at the very front!

The Konoha Pirates treated them well, actually providing them with a ship, complete with supplies, and even giving them a secret message about a treasure.

"We deeply admire the hero who killed the Celestial Dragons..."

"I heard you like treasure..."

"We also happen to know information about a treasure."

"One of the kings of Alabasta was one of the twenty kings who founded the World Government, so his royal family also lived among the Celestial Dragons. For reasons unknown, he and his descendants did not move into Mary Geoise, the holy land where the Celestial Dragons should reside..."

"It is said that before his death, the royal ancestor of Alabasta used gold dust to build a vast, hidden underground palace in the desert. That gold dust palace alone was enough to buy the entire Alabasta..."

"Gulp..."

Bucky the Clown involuntarily swallowed.

Inside Alabasta, there is even a dungeon made of gold dust. The materials used to build the dungeon alone would be enough to buy the entire Alabasta!

So…

What about the treasures in the underground palace?

Could the treasures stored in the underground palace buy the entire world?

Bucky the Clown instantly imagined himself finding a treasure and becoming rich overnight. He could sleep on a mountain of gold, and even his drinking cups would be made of gold…

"That underground palace hides treasures beyond human imagination..."

The red-haired boy didn't go into detail about the treasure inside. Instead, he continued to talk about the Alabasta royal ancestor who built the gold-bearing palace, using his identity to illustrate just how amazing the treasure was.

"Theoretically speaking, that royal ancestor of Alabasta was also one of the progenitors of the Celestial Dragons. He once ruled this world together. In that era when everything in that world was at the mercy of the Twenty Kings, his wealth must have been far greater than that of the current Celestial Dragons..."

"Simply because of the Celestial Dragons' authority, no one has ever dared to search for that underground palace, and this matter has been completely buried by history..."

"perhaps…"

"Only legendary heroes and pirates who dare to kill Celestial Dragons would dare to covet the treasure left behind by the Celestial Dragon's progenitor, right?"

"..."

The stars in Bucky the Clown's eyes disappeared, and he snapped out of his reverie.

While the golden palace is very appealing, it's the ancestral home of the Celestial Dragons. Stealing its treasure would likely result in a relentless pursuit by the World Government...

Bucky the Clown clenched his fists in a conflicted manner.

Although it's satisfying to be hailed as a hero among pirates, especially since the pirate praising him seems quite powerful, he's actually a coward and doesn't dare to provoke any Celestial Dragons...

but…

That was one of the legendary Twenty Kings who founded the World Government…

A person of that caliber must be hiding an incredibly vast amount of treasure, right?

Just as Buggy the Clown was struggling with this dilemma, his crew of pirates immediately grabbed their captain with excited expressions!

"Only Captain Bucky deserves this kind of treasure!"

"A mere twenty kings who established a world government..."

"Captain Buggy kills Celestial Dragons as easily as killing an insect, so why would he care about a dead Celestial Dragon ancestor..."

The Buggy Pirates immediately became lively.

A group of pirates believed that this treasure was a gift from heaven, and that only a hero like Buggy the Clown, who dared to kill Celestial Dragons, was qualified to search for the treasure of the Celestial Dragons' progenitor!

"No...no..."

Bucky the Clown stared wide-eyed as he watched his henchmen clamor for a group to search for the treasure of the Celestial Dragons' progenitor, causing him to involuntarily swallow hard…

别…

Please don't do that!

I don't have that kind of courage!

Bucky the Clown's eyes began to well up with tears as he looked at his sycophantic subordinates, wishing they would shut up!

but…

The Buggy Pirates won't shut up...

Everyone looked at Buggy the Clown with hope, hoping that this hero who killed the Celestial Dragons would lead them to find the treasure left behind by the Celestial Dragons' progenitor!

"Captain Bucky, let's set sail!"

"Get to Alabasta quickly and retrieve all the treasure from the underground palace!"

"..."

Bucky the Clown was so scared he almost snotted out!

Why do his own subordinates also consider him the murderer of the Celestial Dragons?!

"Anyway, you've already killed one Celestial Dragon..."

Alvida looked at Buggy the Clown and tossed her hair: "Stealing another treasure hidden by the Celestial Dragon progenitor isn't such a big deal, is it?"

"..."

Bucky the Clown had a feeling that his partner made a good point!

Something seems off...

But there's nothing particularly wrong with it...

Since he was already wanted by the World Government as the murderer of the Celestial Dragons, stealing the underground treasure left behind by the Celestial Dragon progenitor didn't seem like a big problem...

"My lords!"

"Raise the sails, set sail!"

Buggy the Clown raised his long sword, his face suddenly turning crazed: "Let's go steal the treasure hidden by the Celestial Dragons' progenitor!"

"Yes, Captain Bucky!"

The entire Buggy Pirates suddenly became lively, quickly getting busy on the ship provided by the Konoha Pirates, preparing to head to Alabasta in a grand procession!

"..."

The members of the Konoha Pirates all felt a mix of emotions as they watched the group of pirates embark on a new journey in search of treasure.

"These guys...did they really fall for it so stupidly?"

Tobirama Senju's forehead twitched; he sensed the foolishness of these pirates.

"No, this isn't foolishness; it's their unwavering pursuit of their dreams..."

Sasori of the Red Sand stood on the deck of the Konoha Pirates, gazing in the direction the Buggy Pirates had gone: "We can't let someone with a dream down, so you'd better hurry so I can get to Alabasta and help him build that gold-flecked dungeon..."

"but…"

"The underground palace isn't important..."

Madara Uchiha was already familiar with his ways, and his eyes twitched: "The important thing is the identity of the Celestial Dragon progenitor who built the underground palace, isn't it?"

This operation...

Everyone has already seen it.

Almost all of the ships on the Konoha Pirates' crew had been victims of this kind of thing.

"no way."

"The great figures of this world have left behind so much..."

"Since we don't know what has been left behind in this world, we can only create history for ourselves. One of the twenty kings who founded the world, the history he left behind will surely be trusted by most people in the world..."

This is inevitable.

After all, when the truth about the world's hidden history cannot be revealed, fabricated histories created by humankind can emerge and prevail...

Even if people whose names exist in history recount the past, it's highly unlikely they'll gain people's trust...

Yes.

Even if someone shares their experience...

This kind of thing might not even be of any use.

Because people will only see the history they want to see.

When the world is filled with fabricated histories, even if someone who actually lived through that period comes forward to tell the truth, people will assume that what they say is also false…

after all…

People did not experience all of this firsthand.

Only those who have experienced it firsthand can truly believe what happened in the past.

"There's nothing we can do about it..."

"After all, we don't understand an ancient script that has been left behind in this world. That ancient script is recorded on stone tablets; it is true history..."

"never mind…"

"It's nothing serious."

"Since we don't understand the Poneglyphs, let's first dismantle their correct existence, denounce the true history as false history, and force the world government to reveal their hidden stories..."

"The water is murky."

"The fish will jump out."

"The world has become murky."

"Those who are hidden in the darkness will emerge."

Alabasta is Crocodile's territory! He must know something!
