Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 380 Alabasta is a grand feast, and the Warring States Marshal is merely an appetizer!

The wind in Alabasta is a bit noisy.

The yellow sand in the desert is gently swirled up by the wind, rising in a vortex.

The towering golden palace shimmered in the sunlight, as if it had stood there for many years, still watching the rise and fall of Alabasta.

The group of pirates in Buggy's crew seemed to notice the tense atmosphere. Seeing the standoff between the Konoha Pirates and the Navy, they dared not linger and quietly followed Buggy the Clown away.

Crocodile knew perfectly well that both sides were their enemies, so he took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to him and secretly slipped away, with Mr. Daz Bones following behind him.

Mr. 3 Gardino stroked his chin and pondered for a while. He finally understood that Crocodile, the boss of Baroque Works, had lost power and it was unlikely that he would rebuild Baroque Works or hunt him and his companions down.

Mr. Gardino took advantage of the standoff to quietly leave, intending to first tell his Baroque Works colleagues, who were still waiting for news of him, everything that had happened that day, and then figure out what their next move should be.

Fire Fist Ace didn't dare linger there either. He took his younger brother Straw Hat Luffy and secretly left while Vice Admiral Garp was too busy to pay attention. Nico Robin followed them without hesitation.

Most of the pirates have left.

Only the Konoha Pirates remained.

Hashirama Senju, captain of the Konoha Pirates, stood at the forefront, with Madara Uchiha, the vice-captain, beside him. Orochimaru, Sasori of the Red Sand, and Tobirama Senju, the trio who conducted the forbidden scientific and mechanical experiments, stood behind them.

As for the navy...

The naval lieutenant, Akihara Kagura, chose to obey the admiral's orders and left with Karin, also helping to take away Captain Smoker, who had been swiftly defeated by Orochimaru.

Only the naval high command, led by Fleet Admiral Sengoku, remained.

Fleet Admiral Sengoku stood at the forefront, with Vice Admiral Garp beside him, and Vice Admiral Tsuru, Admiral Aokiji, and Admiral Kizaru walking behind them.

Five against five.

It looks like it's going to be a fairly fair fight.

Sengoku walked over slowly, his steps very steady, and even the seagull hat on his head, which symbolized the navy, did not move at all.

The admiral spoke in a calm and powerful voice: "Twenty years have passed, and yet such a dangerous pirate crew still manages to emerge..."

"That just shows you're nothing more than a frog in a well..."

Madara Uchiha chuckled and immediately began to mock Sengoku.

"She's really sharp-tongued..."

The admiral was speechless, shaking his head helplessly and retorting sarcastically, "You've only gained a little power, yet you think you can overthrow the world's order with such meager strength? You lack any wisdom or cunning, and your shortsightedness is no different from that of other newly emerging brats..."

"Hmph, they're even commenting on us now..."

Tobirama Senju glanced coldly at Sengoku, his eyes filled with disdain: "How far into the future can a naval commander wearing glasses possibly see?"

"!!!"

Sengoku's eyelids twitched.

What's wrong with wearing glasses!

Who says a naval admiral can't wear glasses!

"Lord Sengoku"

"This ocean is about to erupt into a raging torrent..."

Sasori of the Red Sand raised his head to look at Sengoku and took the initiative to speak: "There's something I might need to tell you first. All the pirates who left know the secret hidden in the Golden Palace behind me..."

"oh."

Zhan Guo nodded indifferently.

Although Sengoku was extremely curious about this secret, he roughly guessed that the secret here shouldn't be a particularly big problem. Otherwise, after the Five Elders discussed it back and forth, they wouldn't have only sent the Navy, whom they didn't quite trust, to Alabasta to handle it...

perhaps…

It's probably some secret that's causing a bit of trouble for the world government.

Sengoku was well aware of the World Government's existence. He knew that some of the World Government's and the Celestial Dragons' actions were extremely heinous and despicable, yet the World Government's existence was also a form of order existing on the sea. Besides, the Celestial Dragons were indeed very powerful...

order.

Is the most important.

This is what Sengoku realized after becoming a user of the Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan type, Buddha form. His thinking and brain evolved, and he realized that only by doing everything possible to maintain a balanced order in the ocean could the majority of people in this world be prevented from perishing in chaos.

Even if this golden palace conceals some secret about the Celestial Dragons' ancestors' ruthless pursuit of power, Sengoku believed that the World Government and the Navy should continue to maintain order on the seas together…

"What secret is inside?"

Lieutenant General Tsuru frowned, unable to help but feel a little curious.

"You are welcome to go in and take a look..."

Sasori of the Red Sand invited them to enter the Golden Palace.

"..."

However, Sengoku made no move.

"If you find this too troublesome, I can also tell you..."

Sasori of the Red Sand opened his palm and nonchalantly revealed the hidden anecdotes: "The Queen of Alabasta, who participated in the founding of the World Government eight hundred years ago, left behind the historical truth of that time, denying the legitimacy of the World Government and defining the Twenty Kings of eight hundred years ago as a group of thieves who stole the power of the creator goddess, the Goddess of the Rabbit..."

"Oh, right..."

"An even more troublesome secret..."

Sasori of the Red Sand grinned sinisterly: "Although I don't know when this world will reach its end, because the Twenty Kings sealed away the Goddess of the Rabbit, who created the world, eight hundred years ago, this world is destined to perish. In the future, it may become a world where only the Celestial Dragons survive, or a world where even the Celestial Dragons cannot survive..."

"!!!"

Sengoku's expression suddenly changed.

No… wait…

This doesn't seem like a small problem!

It was as if the power had suddenly gone out in the Warring States period.

Although he had long suspected the secrets of Alabasta, the Five Elders, the highest authorities in the World Government, didn't seem to care much about them...

Both Sengoku and the Five Elders were seasoned political veterans, and they would certainly have a mental estimate of a terrible outcome before any major event occurred.

Since the Five Elders believed that things wouldn't get too bad, Sengoku fell into a misconception when he arrived in Alabasta. He kept thinking that the situation in Alabasta might not be that serious and would still be under the control of the World Government...

but…

But it doesn't seem to be like that now!

Sengoku's face was extremely ugly, and he couldn't help but want to curse in his heart!

no…

Those old fogies, the Five Elders…

How did they manage to sit so comfortably in Mary Geoise?

Before they set off, they confidently assured him that there wouldn't be any major problems in Alabasta, and that as long as the Navy Admirals deployed their forces to control the situation, everything would be fine...

just now…

Is this something the navy can still control?

The world government's secrets are about to be exposed!

"The Warring States Period..."

"Something terrible is about to happen..."

Lieutenant General Tsuru suddenly realized how troublesome this matter was.

As a naval staff officer, Vice Admiral Tsuru was well aware that if what the other party said was true, the legitimacy and rationality of the World Government would be questioned, the ocean would go berserk, and everyone might rise up against the World Government and the Celestial Dragons!

"..."

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Zhan Guo's forehead.

As the Fleet Admiral, Sengoku was well aware of the seriousness of the matter!

This kind of highly influential secrecy...

At least it can't be leaked at this time...

However, in order to focus all his efforts on fighting the most troublesome Konoha Pirates, he simply watched as the Buggy Pirates, Straw Hat Luffy, Portgas D. Ace, and Crocodile's group of pirates left...

This is an even more serious problem!

Those pirates who left will spread the history of the Golden Palace!

The secrets of the Twenty Kings of Creation, which have been passed down from the Kingdom of Alabasta, will spread throughout the entire ocean. The restless Revolutionary Army and the lawless pirates will all have the legitimate right to fight back against the World Government!

Once someone raises the banner of overthrowing the world government, the majority of the world will stand on their side and support their idea of ​​destroying the world government!

exactly…

A new incident also occurred recently.

Buggy the Clown killed a Celestial Dragon, which means that the Celestial Dragons are not just unattainable gods; they are ordinary people who can be killed...

Neither the authority nor the legitimacy of the World Government will be continuously weakened as the historical secrets hidden within the Golden Palace spread across the seas…

No wonder…

World governments have been trying to block these histories!

Sengoku took a deep breath, deeply sensing the thorny nature of the situation. He not only had to deal with the Konoha Pirates in front of him, but also deal with the escaped pirates as soon as possible, and seal off the Golden Palace to prevent chaos in the world order!

The world government is indeed despicable!

At least it allows order to remain in this ocean!

"You made a huge mistake before we even started the war."

Sasori of the Red Sand calmly gazed at Sengoku and said softly, "Although our battle has not yet begun, our objective has already been achieved..."

"Even though our power and ideas pose a threat to the World Government, you only think that the power we possess is the real problem you face, subconsciously believing that eliminating the enemy will solve all their threats..."

Sasori's voice was mechanical and cold. He looked at the Fleet Admiral, whose face was getting increasingly ugly, and turned Sengoku's mockery of the Konoha Pirates back on him.

"The Warring States Period of Buddha..."

"Who is the short-sighted one now?"

"..."

The fist of the Warring States period suddenly clenched!

The other person's words pierced his heart like a sharp blade!

What worries Sengoku the most is that the battle hasn't even started yet, but the outcome is already irrelevant to the Konoha Pirates; they've already achieved their goal!

same…

Now that the Konoha Pirates have achieved their goal...

This also means that the outcome of this battle is not that important to the Navy...

Even if the Navy wins, at most they will only capture a group of powerful pirates who have impacted the world order, and the troubles left behind by the Konoha Pirates will not be resolved...

"The Warring States Period"

Lieutenant General Tsuru glanced at his old friend and softly advised, "We can discuss the remaining issues gradually. Don't forget why we're here..."

"rest assured."

Sengoku glanced back at his old friend, then at Garp beside him, who remained unmoved, and continued softly, "I am not one to waver in my will. I am well aware of the problems with the World Government, but at all times, there must be a stable order on this sea. That is the most important thing..."

As Lieutenant General Tsuru said, no matter what, we must first take control of the situation, and then we can deal with the rest later.

Regardless of how the Navy and the World Government try to block the leaked historical information in the future, or how they use this history to negotiate with the Five Elders of the World Government to resolve the crisis of world destruction, they must first deal with the Konoha Pirates!

"It seems I underestimated you..."

Zhan Guo stepped forward, his domineering aura slowly emanating from within him, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"I have to admit it."

Sengoku's body slowly emitted golden light as he fixed his gaze on Hashirama Senju at the forefront: "The Konoha Pirates, your existence poses a deadly threat to the World Government, even more troublesome than the Roger Pirates. To ensure the stability of this sea, I must capture you here..."

As they spoke, Sengoku's body slowly transformed into a giant golden Buddha statue, and the Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan type, Great Buddha form was activated at that moment!

As Sengoku activated his golden Buddha form, the Marine Admiral unleashed his full Conqueror's Haki, recklessly unleashing it towards the Konoha Pirates. The terrifying Haki was about to suppress the pirates!

Sandstorms raged everywhere in the desert!

The clouds in the sky looked as if they were about to burst apart under the overwhelming aura!

The golden Buddha statue raised its enormous fist and slammed it down on the Konoha Pirates below, as if it wanted to finish off its opponents with a single blow!

"Wood Release: Wood Human Technique!"

Hashirama Senju swiftly closed his palms!

A tall wooden figure resembling a Buddha statue grew out from beneath his feet. The tall wooden figure simply raised its palm and casually caught the golden Buddha's fist, as if it were holding a small child's fist!

As Hashirama Senju unleashed his powerful technique, the Conqueror's Haki that had awakened within him was also released unrestrainedly at that moment!

The captain of the Konoha Pirates and the Fleet Admiral of the Marines clashed instantly, and the entire sky began to tear apart under the clash of their Haki!

Obviously...

The clash of Conqueror's Haki is just the basics...

The final battle returned to the earth. Sengoku had participated in battles involving giants before. His body had already transformed into a golden Buddha, and he fought directly with the tall wooden figure in the desert. The desert trembled under the giant's trampling. The golden Buddha moved extremely nimbly, while the tall wooden figure had an overwhelming size advantage!

"This power...this level of domineering aura..."

Lieutenant General Tsuru's expression turned somewhat grave.

"..."

Aokiji's expression also turned somewhat serious.

Because Aokiji had never seen Hashirama Senju fight seriously, he only knew that the other party was the captain of the Konoha Pirates, but rarely made any decisions regarding the affairs of the Konoha Pirates...

During the time he was captured and imprisoned, whether it was Tobirama Senju, the red-haired Sasori of the Red Sand, or even the vice-captain Madara Uchiha, they all seemed to have more authority than Captain Hashirama Senju. Aokiji could only guess that Hashirama Senju was definitely not a simple person...

just now…

It's just confirming my own speculation.

"Hey, Kuzan, Borsalino, it's time for us to go!"

Garp clenched his fist and walked step by step toward the Konoha Pirates, his gaze fixed on the enemy's vice-captain.

"Vice Admiral Garp...will lose..."

Aokiji noticed the confrontation between Garp and Madara Uchiha, and his heart sank involuntarily. Even he didn't think he was Madara Uchiha's match!

Moreover…

When Madara Uchiha fought him, he didn't even use his full strength. It's unlikely that Vice Admiral Garp alone could handle a combat power of that level!

Madara Uchiha didn't care about anything else and charged straight at Garp. His fist collided with Garp's fist!

The powerful Armament Haki began to clash!

Madara Uchiha, however, wasn't annoyed. Looking at Garp in front of him, he laughed wildly and unrestrainedly: "Hahahaha... another guy skilled in taijutsu... it's not easy to find an opponent to hone your taijutsu skills... hahahaha..."

"This guy..."

Garp finally realized that his opponent was in trouble!

The opponent's Armament Haki was incredibly powerful, and he seemed quite adept at using it. This opponent made him feel the pressure of trouble!

The two had barely exchanged blows when the battle immediately intensified!

Madara Uchiha was eager to find more formidable opponents. He already knew that the people on this sea valued taijutsu training, and he would never fall behind in this area!

"Mr. Madara, please move a little further away."

"Do not disturb the duel between the Warring States Marshal and the First Lord."

Sasori reminded Madara Uchiha that there might be some things that Vice Admiral Garp shouldn't know after the battle here ended.

"Shinra Tensei"

Madara Uchiha was equally decisive. He suddenly raised his hand and unleashed Shinra Tensei, sending Garp flying into the distance. He then quickly chased after Garp!

"It even has some strange abilities..."

"It seems we might really be in trouble..."

Vice Admiral Tsuru glanced at the battlefield, watching the duel between Sengoku the Buddha and Hashirama Senju, then at Garp and Madara Uchiha as they receded into the distance. His expression grew even more grave: "The enemy is very strong, and they are hiding even more mysterious and strange abilities. Sengoku and Garp may not be able to defeat them. The outcome of this battle may depend on you, Kuzan, Borsalino..."

"..."

Then we're definitely going to lose this time...

The thought flashed through the minds of Aokiji and Kizaru.

The outcome of this battle could actually be decided by just two undercover spies? No matter how strong their two generals are, how could they possibly truly determine the outcome?

"This is really troublesome... Do we have to play a game we can't possibly lose?"

Kizaru's gaze shifted back and forth, finally settling on Tobirama Senju. A knowing smile deliberately played on his lips: "Alright, I'll just carry out the orders. Military orders are hard to disobey. It seems I'll have to ask for your guidance this time."

"Fighting with you was very interesting..."

Tobirama Senju slowly gripped his ninja sword.

next moment!

Kizaru and Tobirama Senju charged at each other simultaneously!

A golden lightsaber made of photons suddenly appeared in Kizaru's hand, and he directly confronted Tobirama Senju, the two of them engaging in a clean and decisive swordsmanship contest!

Aokiji shook his head, sighed inwardly, and had no choice but to turn his gaze to Sasori of the Red Sand. An ice blade appeared in his hand: "Until everything is clear, I'll hold you off..."

"Surprisingly..."

Sasori shook his head, but still took the initiative to meet Aokiji.

On this battlefield…

Only two people remained who hadn't made a move.

Orochimaru looked at the old man opposite him and said with a grin, "Hehehe... our battle doesn't seem to be very important in this war. Otherwise, why don't we just stay here and wait for their outcome?"

"..."

Vice Admiral Tsuru nodded slightly as he looked at Orochimaru.

In the past, Lieutenant General Tsuru wouldn't have minded making some moves, but unfortunately, she's quite old now, and the other party's suggestion is exactly what she wanted...

just now…

Everything has begun…

All that's needed to do is wait for the battle between the two sides to end.

Beyond the desert.

Those who are in control of this battle have only just begun to act.

Kagura Akihara and Karin abandoned Smoker in a nearby town and notified Smoker's lieutenant, Tashigi, to come and take him away. They went directly to a restaurant in the town, where Kagura Akihara met an old acquaintance she hadn't seen in a long time.

A black and white creature slowly emerged and sat opposite Akihara Kagura. It had been gathering intelligence all over the sea; it was none other than White Zetsu Awei and Black Zetsu.

"Ah Wei."

Akihara Kagura was always very polite to her old friend, and proactively poured it a glass of pear juice: "Have you found out any detailed information lately?"

"There's some information you'll definitely find interesting..."

Black Zetsu answered in a sinister voice, "The world's strongest pirate crew, the Whitebeard Pirates, has a traitor. A man named Marshall D. Teach killed a captain named Thatch and defected from the Whitebeard Pirates..."

"..."

Akihara Kagura frowned.

no…

This intelligence…

How long has it been expired?

"never mind."

Akihara Kagura sighed, waved her hand, and said, "You guys go to the golden palace I created in the desert first and see the history I've prepared in advance. After the battle there is over, send all the stories that happened in Alabasta to the World Economic News Agency. I'm worried that Mr. Bucky and Mr. Crocodile, who escaped Alabasta, won't think of this..."

"it is good."

White Zetsu Awei nodded in agreement, a grin spreading across his face: "Young man, the story that unfolds in Alabasta is sure to ignite the entire world..."

"A new era is about to begin..."

Kagura Akihara rested her chin on her hand and slowly began to speak, "I can't always be this weak. The next stop happens to be not far from Mock Town on Jaya Island. I'll find a way to get to Sky Island from there, thereby gaining the reputation of possessing the Rumble-Rumble Fruit and securing my position in the Navy..."

"Mokok Town on Gaya Island?"

Black Zetsu suddenly remembered something else and spoke up, "When Ah Wei and I were gathering intelligence, we discovered that the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Donquixote Doflamingo, occasionally appears there..."

"They really stretch their reach far..."

Akihara Kagura sighed softly, then said with some regret, "When I leave for Mogu Town, I'll need to prepare a suitable gift for him, lest his subordinates cause me trouble there..."

"Would his subordinates dare to cause you trouble?"

White Zetsu Awei looked at Akihara Kagura curiously and then offered his own idea: "I've heard that Doflamingo values ​​his crew members very much, and always treats his senior officers like family..."

"I'll think about this carefully..."

"You guys go straight to the underground palace first."

Kagura Akihara waved her hand and said softly, "By the time you arrive, I'll probably have Admiral Aokiji and Admiral Kizaru take action together, so that our Fleet Admiral and Vice Admiral Tsuru don't miss out on feeling the despair..."

"When they desperately believed that the situation on the battlefield had reached its worst point..."

As Akihara Kagura finished speaking, she slammed down her cup: "As long as the situation becomes even slightly favorable, it will cause a backlash far exceeding their expectations, and they will calmly accept reality..."

"The Fleet Admiral might not give in so easily..."

Black Zetsu was somewhat skeptical. While gathering intelligence, it had heard quite a bit about Sengoku the Buddha: "I've heard that Sengoku the Buddha is incredibly shrewd; even if he were to succumb to power, it's unlikely..."

Even gods have weaknesses.

Akihara Kagura shook her head, still sticking to her point of view.

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku championed a justice that reigned supreme over all, a justice that meant having absolute power to suppress everything. He always believed that the Celestial Dragons and the World Government's power would allow the Navy to reign supreme over all..."

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku wasn't a stubborn old man, so he promoted me, the lucky one, after the East Blue incident; however, what he desperately needed was the power the Navy could utilize to maintain world order, even if it meant the World Government and the Celestial Dragons had committed too many evils. He knew better than anyone how many evils the World Government and the Celestial Dragons had done, yet he still stubbornly carried out the World Government's orders..."

"exactly…"

"What we have in abundance is precisely the power he can use to maintain the balance of the world..."

"The Warring States Marshal wouldn't care who's above him..."

"As long as the people above us can maintain the balance of this ocean, that's enough."

Akihara Kagura looked at the black and white monster sitting opposite her and chuckled, "Of course, we also need to make Fleet Admiral Sengoku understand one thing: we are stronger than the Celestial Dragons, and our methods will be more ruthless, only then will he become obedient..."

"If Marshal Sengoku is willing to submit, then tell him that he is nothing more than an appetizer before the main course..."

"Alabasta is a truly major event; it might even attract the Five Elders or someone even more powerful..."

"..."

White Zetsu Awei pondered curiously, then suddenly offered a plan: "Kid, you don't mean you want Madara and the others to stay here and attack the Five Elders, do you?"

"I don't have that kind of guts..."

Kagura Akihara couldn't help but laugh, and a chilling plan emerged from his lips: "Why not take advantage of the Five Elders' potential visit to Alabasta to inspect the Golden Palace, when Mary Geoise might be unprepared, and launch a direct attack on Mary Geoise?"

"Take this opportunity to capture as many Celestial Dragons as possible..."

"The Celestial Dragons have always regarded other humans as inferior beings. They are unwilling to set foot on human settlements, and their presence always brings bloodshed..."

"Most Celestial Dragons reside in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise; there are still too few Celestial Dragons out on patrol..."

"Not nearly enough for the other assassins on the high seas..."

Kagura Akihara stared at the empty cup in front of her, seemingly contemplating what would happen if the plan succeeded: "Let everyone who joins us participate in the game of assassinating the Celestial Dragons, so they don't always think that the Celestial Dragons and the World Government are their masters..."

There are just too few Celestial Dragons...

There aren't even many identities we can use...

Currently, the Celestial Dragons, the Alabasta royal family, Doflamingo, Shanks... are there any others who are known to be active outside?
