Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 396 We're on a Sky Island, inviting everyone to a hunting game…

Sky Island.

It was quiet and deserted here.

All the humans who lived there have left.

A small pirate ship with a cute sheep's head on it emerged from the thick, white clouds, followed by a huge raft that floated above the clouds.

It was the Straw Hat Pirates' Going Merry and the Blackbeard Pirates' raft. Doflamingo was still standing on the mast of the raft, warily surveying his surroundings.

The Going Merry and the raft drifted along with the clouds, and everyone curiously observed this silent world. They saw many amazing creatures in the clouds.

For example, flat fish or marine creatures that swell up like balloons, and even the scales of these fish become very light, like feathers.

It's a bit novel.

Nicole Robin caught a fish and began speculating about the evolution of these fish: "Did they evolve into these shapes to reduce their weight and float?"

"It looks like that..."

Zoro nodded slowly.

Compared to these curious rookie pirates, the Blackbeard Pirates' raft was filled with a group of mature adults, whose expressions remained very wary.

The Going Merry and the raft drifted slowly through the clouds, eventually reaching a building with a row of letters written on it.

HEAVEN'S GATE.

Usopp rubbed his chin, feeling a little uneasy. "The Gates of Heaven... that's a bit ominous. Are we going to die?"

"It's hard to say..."

"Perhaps it really is heaven..."

"Otherwise, why would this place be so magical?"

The Straw Hat Pirates were always looking for trouble.

As they entered the Gates of Heaven, they saw a long staircase of clouds. A gigantic creature appeared, dragging the Going Merry and the large raft up the cloud staircase…

The two ships ascended the cloud staircase to Angel Island, atop the sky island, where they saw many human structures.

but…

There was no one inside.

There was no one inside any of the buildings.

The Straw Hat Pirates were quite curious and looked around with great interest; however, Doflamingo and the Blackbeard Pirates' expressions suddenly changed!

because…

There are signs that someone lived here, or even that someone lived here not long ago. Why did they disappear at this time?

Based on the information they have…

It must have been those bastards from the Konoha Pirates who did something!

Doflamingo reached up and touched the sunglasses on his nose, bringing up a little-known story: "I've heard of the tradition of hunting games... wherever a hunting ground is chosen, the natives are also treated as prey..."

"Were those guys from Konoha involved?"

Teach grinned and chuckled softly.

However, all speculation is useless now; everyone has seen a signpost, clearly pointing them in the right direction.

Even knowing there might be danger...

Doflamingo and the Blackbeard Pirates were also forced to risk advancing.

As for the Straw Hat Pirates, those fearless rookies didn't feel any fear at all; they even looked around with great interest.

until…

The two ships arrived in Apayado's airspace.

At the end of this airspace stood a tall altar, upon which rested a massive golden bell, instantly drawing everyone's attention.

"The Golden Bell!"

Luffy's eyes lit up instantly!

Not only Luffy's eyes, but the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates also realized something at the same time!

It was thanks to Montblanc Kuligai's help that they had the opportunity to come to the Sky Island; before they arrived, they had heard Montblanc Kuligai tell a story about his ancestor, the great liar Montblanc Noland!

Four hundred years ago.

A man named Montblanc Nolando was ordered by the king to find the land of gold, Shandora, which he claimed was located on Gaya Island. He arrived at the land of gold and found countless gold and a huge golden bell.

However, the king ordered Noland to take his men back to the Land of Gold. Noland led his men to Jaya Island, but they found no trace of the Land of Gold, Shandora…

Obviously.

Noland deceived the king, committing the crime of treason.

Before the king executed Noland, Noland continued to claim that he had seen the land of gold, Shandora, and that the land of gold had simply sunk to the bottom of the sea…

From then on.

The legend of the great liar Noland remains in Beihai.

Noland's descendants did not believe their ancestor would lie, so they came to Gaya Island and searched for the location of the golden land of Shandora in the sea for generations.

Now it seems...

The land of gold did not sink to the bottom of the sea…

Nico Robin gazed at the golden bell and slowly said, "Four hundred years ago, the golden land of Shandora didn't sink to the bottom of the sea, but was swept to a sky island by upwelling currents. It seems that the great liar Noland of the North Sea wasn't lying after all..."

"How interesting..."

Looking at the golden bell in front of her, Akihara Kagura slowly said, "Perhaps it was a good thing that the Golden Land was washed ashore back then..."

"Um?"

The Straw Hat Pirates all looked at the Marine lieutenant with curiosity.

Kagura Akihara slowly began, "If Noland finds them again with his men, the King of the North Sea will probably order the slaughter of all the native inhabitants of the Land of Gold and plunder all their gold..."

"..."

The Straw Hat Pirates were speechless.

Nico Robin's gaze fell on Akihara Kagura: "What you said makes sense. Perhaps the native inhabitants of the Golden Land really will be killed. A king's purpose in searching for the Golden Land certainly isn't to hear stories..."

wrong!

Nico Robin suddenly realized something!

The woman's face suddenly turned somewhat ugly. She remembered something that Akihara Kagura had mentioned, promising them two hundred million Berries worth of gold!

This means…

This man already knew or guessed about this!

On the raft.

Doflamingo also heard Nico Robin's interpretation.

"Fufufufu... Interesting."

A peculiar smile flickered across Doflamingo's lips. He didn't know why he was smiling; he just found it somewhat amusing.

Because Doflamingo spent his childhood in the North Blue and remained active there after becoming a pirate, he had heard the story of the notorious liar Noland that circulated in the North Blue.

did not expect…

The truth behind Noland's fairy tale is actually this.

Forget it.

Those things are all unimportant.

The most important thing now is to find out the situation of the Sky Island.

However, just as Doflamingo and Teach were discussing starting their exploration here, Straw Hat Luffy leaped up and slammed his fist into the Golden Bell!

This guy…

I want the bells to ring out from the clouds!

According to stories passed down for four hundred years, the sound of the Golden Bell would resound throughout the heavens and earth, and would surely reach Montblanc Kulik!

A tremendous bell rang out, echoing through the sky!

Everyone heard the tremendous sound of the Golden Bell!

next moment!

A magnificent golden ark appeared before them!

"That is..."

"The Golden Ark?"

Everyone watched this scene in disbelief.

Even someone as wealthy as Doflamingo, who owns an entire kingdom and countless businesses, wouldn't dare to be so extravagant as to build such a large golden ark out of gold!

If the Straw Hat Pirates' rookie pirates were just curious, the Blackbeard Pirates were clearly greedy; they needed a good ship!

after all…

Everyone is still riding on a raft!

This golden ark was practically made for the Blackbeard Pirates! Blackbeard Teach couldn't help but laugh heartily!

"Thief, hahaha..."

"We just happen to need a boat!"

"Hahaha, this ship is ours now!"

however…

The appearance of a figure…

This directly extinguished Blackbeard Teach's ambition to seize the Golden Ark.

A red-haired boy appeared at the bow of the ship. He ignored the black-bearded Teach's offense and spoke in a mechanical voice. The voice was not loud, but it was like the tolling of a bell, instantly instilling a sense of fear in people.

Congratulations...

"We've arrived at the hunting grounds for the hunting game."

"!!!"

Doflamingo was startled, and panic appeared on his face!

Blackbeard Teach's laughter stopped abruptly as he looked up in disbelief at the figure on the golden ark, his eyes twitching for a moment!

"That's... a dangerous person with a bounty of 10 billion!!"

A scream rang out from the Straw Hat Pirates crew. The timid Nami, Usopp, and Chopper were already trembling and hiding in a corner!

"That's the Konoha Pirates..."

Nico Robin's heart raced involuntarily. Looking at the figure behind Sasori, her breathing quickened with fear: "Each of them is a dangerous individual with a bounty of 10 billion Berries... They've breached Mary Geoise... The most dangerous and powerful pirate crew on the seas... The Konoha Pirates!"

"other side…"

"Very strong!"

Zoro gripped his sword tightly in his hand!

Sanji involuntarily dropped the cigarette in his hand to the ground!

Even the rookies of the Straw Hat Pirates knew the danger of their opponents, let alone Doflamingo and the Blackbeard Pirates, who were seasoned veterans of countless battles on the high seas…

Blackbeard Teach's heart was pounding. He felt as if he couldn't feel anything, only a suffocating sensation washing over him!

Doflamingo was also somewhat fearful and suffocated. He had only come here to gather information, wondering why he had encountered the Konoha Pirates!

no…

Avoid conflict with the other party...

Just as everyone present was lost in thought, the mechanical voice continued to echo in their ears: "Congratulations on being the first group of players to arrive here..."

After saying that.

Scorpion raised his palm.

As he moved, the video call bugs woke up one by one.

The projection Den Den Mushi across the entire ocean received the signal from the recording Den Den Mushi!

Whether in the Sabaody Archipelago or Kings Square, projection Den Den Mushi from all over the world have received a signal and are playing images from the Sky Island!

Everyone saw a strange place with a huge golden ark, a strange ram-headed boat, and a huge raft. Between the three boats was a huge altar.

On the altar.

It is a huge golden bell.

Sabaody Archipelago.

Rayleigh, the Dark Lord, and Shanks, who had just arrived, were catching up when they saw the content projected by the Den Den Mushi. A look of astonishment appeared in both of their eyes at the same time!

"Luffy..."

Shanks immediately recognized Straw Hat Luffy on the ram's head boat. His gaze slowly moved and landed on the figure on the raft, instantly making him alert: "Wait... that's... Teach!"

Marshall D. Teach!

Even Shanks, the Red-Haired, dared not underestimate him!

Many people around the world recognized Marshall D. Teach, such as Fire Fist Ace who was searching for Teach's whereabouts, and some members of the Whitebeard Pirates!

certainly…

The most terrifying thing was that golden ark!

Because three figures were standing on the Golden Ark!

A red-haired boy, and two figures standing beside him!

Hashirama Senju, the captain of the Konoha Pirates, Madara Uchiha, the vice-captain of the Konoha Pirates, and Sasori Shura Path, the shipwright of the Konoha Pirates, each have a bounty of 10 billion Berries!

"Those guys from the Konoha Pirates..."

The five elders on Enies Lobby immediately turned furious.

Whether they are pirates or marines, ordinary people or high-ranking officials of the World Government, anyone who can see the images knows that something big is about to happen in this world!

The Konoha Pirates... never cause trouble!

Wherever the Konoha Pirates appear, they will likely cause chaos throughout the world!

Even those sailing the entire ocean, upon hearing that the Konoha Pirates had launched a world live broadcast, hurriedly searched for a nearby island where they could receive the projected Den Den Mushi signal.

For example, Monkey D. Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, was originally looking for the Konoha Pirates. When they heard that the Konoha Pirates had started a global live broadcast, they immediately started looking for a large island nearby, because only a large island could receive the signal from the projection Den Den Mushi.

The influence of the Konoha Pirates is so great that even the Four Emperors' pirate crews cannot miss it. Whether it's Kaido of the Beasts who is on his way, Big Mom, or Whitebeard who is on his ship, they are all trying to find a way to see the Konoha Pirates.

As for the Navy Headquarters…

The Buddha's Warring States period was well prepared.

The admiral had not yet made any moves; he was simply watching the live broadcast with his men, awaiting orders from the Five Elders.

same.

Sengoku was also a little curious about what the Konoha Pirates were up to.

Sky Island.

On the Golden Ark.

Sasori's voice remained calm.

"This is a sky island above Jaya Island in the first half of the Grand Line."

"The Konoha Pirates are inviting strong individuals from all over the world to participate in a fun hunting game."

"To avoid disappointing everyone, the Konoha Pirates will prepare a generous prize for the winner of this hunting game: the whereabouts of Poseidon, one of the three Ancient Weapons..."

"!!!"

A look of shock flashed across the faces of people all over the world!

I'd like to add some details about the game rules...
