Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 381 We want to see if they will kill you, the Fleet Admiral.

In the Alabasta desert.

Lieutenant General Tsuru's expression grew increasingly somber.

Because the battles on all four sides were at a stalemate, and no battle had yet come to a conclusion, the Konoha Pirates seemed to be in complete control.

Especially…

Hashirama Senju, captain of the Konoha Pirates.

Hashirama Senju was incredibly powerful, yet he was a peace-loving person by nature. He was always tolerant of those weaker than himself and would not suddenly attack his opponents in battle like his old friend Madara Uchiha, leaving them in despair.

Moreover…

In Hashirama Senju's view, Sengoku was not an extremely evil person.

Hashirama Senju simply manipulated the tall wooden figure to extend its enormous hand, slowly clench it into a fist, and smash it towards the golden Buddha body of Sengoku!

"Armament Haki: Entanglement!"

A layer of dark Armament Haki appeared on the golden Buddha's palm. It raised its Armament Haki-covered palm and forcefully took the wooden man's fist, even trying to crush the wooden man's body!

Boom!

The entire desert floor trembled!

The wooden doll's body shattered, but it recovered under Hashirama Senju's control!

"Did they directly use Haki?"

Standing atop the wooden doll, Hashirama Senju watched this scene with curiosity, then nodded seriously and said, "It looks like it possesses quite terrifying power. Perhaps we can get serious now..."

The already towering wooden figure grew even taller!

The wooden figure, hundreds of meters tall, clenched its fist and pressed down again. The golden Buddha was only about the size of its calf, making the Buddha Sengoku suddenly feel a powerful pressure!

"Shockwave!"

The golden Buddha gritted its teeth, suddenly retracted its hand, and then forcefully raised it again, a beam of light emanating from its palm, which suddenly struck the wooden figure's body!

The moment the tall wooden figure was struck, its arms and fists were even cracked by the strong pressure of the shockwave, and its massive body couldn't help but stagger back a few steps, almost falling to the ground in a sorry state!

Is it going to collapse?

Hashirama Senju stood atop the wooden doll's head, clasped his hands together, and vines sprouted from the doll's body, instantly anchoring it to the ground and helping to stabilize it.

"That's quite an interesting ability..."

"Using their massive size and high-speed movement to compress the air in battle..."

Hashirama Senju stroked his chin, looked down at the panting golden Buddha, and his expression slowly became serious. He then directly manipulated the massive wooden figure to raise its palm!

next moment!

The tall wooden figure also slapped the golden Buddha with its palm!

The air was also subjected to a strong impact pressure as the wooden figure rushed towards it at extremely high speed, and the yellow sand on the ground was stirred up into a huge sandstorm at this moment!

And with that...

Naturally, it is the formidable power of the wooden body!

Hashirama Senju's wooden puppet was able to contend with Madara Uchiha's complete Susanoo, and it was never just a pretty face!

"This is such a hassle..."

The golden Buddha-like Sengoku suddenly raised his arms, as if supporting the sky, and firmly blocked the wooden figure's palms: "What kind of joke is this immense strength? What kind of strange ability is this that can suppress a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit user..."

These wooden figures, which are nothing more than vines and tree roots, should only be empty shells, like some giants on the sea.

Why...

The wooden puppet can even suppress him, a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit user!

Sengoku was even feeling somewhat powerless, feeling that his Buddha-like body was not enough to fight against his opponent. He was only managing to hold on by relying on the powerful recovery ability of the Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit!

"This is bad..."

Lieutenant General Tsuru stared intently at the golden Buddha statue, blood already seeping from the corner of its mouth. Her eyes twitched suddenly: "The wooden puppet controlled by the opponent is too powerful. He has no way to suppress it. Sengoku is getting old, and his stamina can hardly sustain this level of combat for long..."

Perhaps no one will realize one thing…

In fact, Fleet Admiral Sengoku the Buddha was already over seventy years old.

This is the age when most Marines need to retire, and Sengoku, with his Zoan-type Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit power, doesn't seem particularly old.

but…

Aging is still unavoidable.

on the contrary…

Hashirama Senju's body was at its peak during his prime, and his vitality and stamina were far more terrifying than those of ordinary people. This level of battle was not difficult for him at all!

"Phew, don't underestimate them!"

The golden Buddha slowly lowered its head and clenched its teeth!

The golden Buddha suddenly retracted one of its sky-supporting hands, and Armament Haki wrapped around that hand again. The hand clenched into a fist and slammed into the wooden figure's giant hand that was pressing down, shattering the wooden figure's hand from the inside!

The Armament Haki is released from within, striking the enemy's body from a distance!

Countless sawdust fell down!

However, Hashirama Senju paid no attention to the broken hand and even the broken arm of the Wood Release character. With the help of his Wood Release chakra, the Wood Release character's injuries were quickly healed, and he slammed his palm heavily onto the golden Buddha!

The golden Buddha tumbled and crashed into the desert, kicking up a cloud of yellow sand. Sengoku felt as if his body had been struck by a heavy hammer!

next moment!

The golden Buddha actually sprang up from the ground, ignoring the blood at the corner of its mouth, and slammed a fist with an air wave into the top of the wooden doll's head at Hashirama Senju!

"Buddha Fist!"

The voice of the Warring States period remains cold and sharp!

This admiral wouldn't give up the fight when he was at a disadvantage. He was also observing the surrounding situation. Kizaru and Kuzan's opponents were also troublesome!

just now…

I must keep fighting!

The enormous wooden doll was not Hashirama Senju's true form, but rather a fighting object created by his abilities. So why not just attack the opponent's true form directly!

"They're really motivated..."

Hashirama Senju let out a soft sigh of praise.

"Wood Release: Ranking Technique!"

The captain of the Konoha Pirates remained in good spirits, slowly closing his palms as a massive wooden shield made of demon masks appeared before him!

The golden Buddha's fist slammed heavily onto the wooden shield!

however…

The wooden shield only had a crack!

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the wooden figure reached out and grabbed the body of the golden Buddha, forcefully throwing the person to the ground as if a golden rag doll had been dropped!

"That guy..."

A bead of cold sweat appeared on Aokiji's face.

Because his battle with Sasori wasn't particularly intense; Sasori was simply using his flight ability to dodge attacks and bombarding him with a constant stream of rockets.

To put it bluntly...

They are all on our side.

"Don't underestimate our captain..."

Sasori's figure abruptly halted in mid-air. His gaze fell upon the massive wooden figure that had captured the golden Buddha, and he spoke softly, "To be precise, our captain possesses the blood of a god; he is a true descendant of a god. He is not some scum like the Celestial Dragons who claim to be gods, but a powerful being revered and hailed as a god by the world..."

It's a bit complicated.

In another world, Hashirama Senju ended the Warring States period and was hailed as the God of Shinobi; in this world, he could easily defeat Fleet Admiral Sengoku…

"Speaking of which..."

Sasori glanced at Aokiji, who was standing almost touching him, and said softly, "You should know what to choose, right? Admiral Aokiji, you don't want your predecessor to die here, do you?"

"..."

Aokiji slowly lowered his head.

"Borsalino, Kuzan!"

Just then, Lieutenant General Tsuru hurriedly called out to the two generals who were relatively free from fighting, hoping that they could find a way to help their old friend at this moment!

The Warring States period was already doomed to defeat!

This also means that the balance of power on the battlefield will soon be broken, and the captain of the Konoha Pirates will be free to help others defeat the two Marine Admirals!

"Borsalino, cover us! Aokiji, Sengoku, we're retreating!"

Vice Admiral Tsuru has confirmed that the Navy has lost any chance of winning this battle, and immediately plans to evacuate the area to seek reinforcements before fighting again!

Borsalino is the fastest user of the Glint-Glint Fruit, making him the best choice for both pursuit after victory and cover after defeat.

"..."

The golden Buddha glanced back at his old friend, then at the calm-looking Hashirama Senju, and realized that he was no match for him.

seem…

Continuing to fight would be unwise.

It might even drag two of our generals into this quagmire.

I really didn't expect this...

He brought two Marine Admirals and two old friends to deal with the Konoha Pirates, but even with almost all of his high-end combat power deployed, he still ended up in such a disadvantageous situation!

perhaps…

I am truly old now.

However, the captain of the Konoha Pirates is indeed quite troublesome!

Sengoku had never encountered such a troublesome enemy. He had managed to put up a fight before the battle even began, but it turned out that the other side wasn't taking it seriously enough. This seemingly honest and gentle pirate captain might not be much weaker than that old man Whitebeard. At least, the other Yonko, Kaido of the Beasts, was no match for Hashirama Senju...

"Let's retreat!"

Sengoku approved of Vice Admiral Tsuru's decision and said in a deep voice, "Polsalino will provide cover. I will take Aokiji and Tsuru and retreat first. We will meet at the southern port of Alabasta!"

"Okay, okay..."

Kizaru raised his hand and fired a laser beam, repelling Tobirama Senju.

"It's a bit too late to leave now..."

Sasori withdrew from his battle with Aokiji, casually glancing at the golden Buddha statue, and said softly, "Lord Sengoku, you started this battle, so to be fair, shouldn't it be our people who end it?"

"..."

The Warring States period had no time to refute or pay attention to him.

The admiral's body shrank rapidly, quickly returning to normal human size. He turned and retreated step by step, his face full of vigilance, intending to lead Vice Admiral Tsuru away from the desert battlefield. Aokiji and Kizaru's bodies landed beside them...

however…

Sasori of the Red Sand simply looked at them and uttered a single sentence.

"Stay."

"I'm sorry..."

Aokiji suddenly held the ice blade in his hand to Sengoku's neck!

"Kuzan?"

Sengoku stared wide-eyed in disbelief at his protégé, whom he had always thought highly of and intended to groom as a naval admiral!

Does this guy even know what he's doing?

"What are you doing?"

Sengoku questioned Aokiji in a deep voice!

"Feel sorry…"

Aokiji felt like he would be apologizing forever in the future, so he said calmly, "I'm sorry... I chose to join the Konoha Pirates a long time ago."

"Kuzan, how could you..."

Lieutenant General Tsuru looked at Aokiji with some surprise.

"Nothing is impossible..."

A golden lightsaber rested on Lieutenant General Tsuru's shoulder.

Kizaru pursed his lips, revealing a strange smile, and decided to seize the opportunity to confess: "I seem to be... also a spy for the Konoha Pirates..."

"..."

Sengoku and Vice Admiral Tsuru's eyes twitched simultaneously!

Sengoku's face instantly contorted with rage, veins practically bulging on his forehead as he glared at the two admirals: "Borsalino, Kuzan... are you two joking with me at a time like this?"

"..."

Aokiji remained silent and did not answer.

"..."

Kizaru's lips still held a slight smile.

Sengoku and Vice Admiral Tsuru watched as the Konoha Pirates slowly closed in, and saw the sharp blades resting on their shoulders and necks. Finally, they had no choice but to accept reality.

What exactly is going on?

To be honest, the Warring States period also witnessed their growth firsthand!

Although the three admirals of the Navy Headquarters are of different ages, they all spent time in naval training camps after joining the Navy…

Although their teacher was former Admiral Zephyr, they had all received guidance from Sengoku. After graduating from the training camp, they all served as second-in-command to Sengoku, Garp, and other senior naval officers. It was Sengoku and Garp who gradually nurtured them into true admirals...

Aokiji and Kizaru...

How could they be members of the Konoha Pirates!

This kind of thing...

When exactly?

Sengoku never dared to believe that Aokiji and Kizaru were pirates planted in the Navy, as they were Navy Admirals, the World Government's top combat force!

In terms of status alone, a naval admiral is already a high-ranking officer, whose word is enough to decide the life and death of many people. How could he possibly do something like an undercover agent?

Unless, when Kizaru and Aokiji joined the Navy, they were spies planted within the Navy by the Konoha Pirates.

Sengoku felt his mind was a bit confused and couldn't figure it out for a moment. If the two generals were spies, would the last general, Akainu, be an exception?

"Feel sorry…"

Aokiji felt like he was back to the time when he apologized to Kizaru.

like…

I can't say anything...

The only thing I could say was an apology…

Aokiji knew they were no match for the Konoha Pirates; if the Konoha Pirates went all out, Sengoku, Vice Admiral Tsuru, and Vice Admiral Garp would all be hunted down. Sasori of the Red Sand explicitly threatened Sengoku's life, forcing him to intercept Sengoku at this moment...

"alright."

"Let's have a chat, Marshal of the Warring States Period."

Sasori of the Red Sand landed beside them and said softly, "Although you are old, you still have considerable value..."

"One of the more useful values ​​for us is that, as the Fleet Admiral, you should have a channel to directly contact the Five Elders, right?"

"Please rest assured..."

"We won't make you do anything inconvenient or troublesome..."

"All we need is for Marshal Sengoku to tell the Five Elders all the secrets about the Golden Palace left behind by the King of Alabasta..."

"certainly…"

"We'd also like to take a look while we're at it..."

Sasori, concealing his sinister intentions that were about to reach the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, casually uttered a terrifying statement that sent chills down Sengoku's spine: "Just how many people are the World Government and the Celestial Dragons capable of killing to conceal the truth of history? Could they include you, the Fleet Admiral...?"

I'm going to grab some dinner and take a nap... Alabasta is a major event... but it's almost over...

I recommend a new book by the renowned author Yi An…
