Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 397 The powerful figures swarming toward the Sky Island: A special reward from the hunting game!

Ancient weapon Poseidon, the sea king!

Most people in this world have never heard of what ancient weapons are, but those who truly know about them are undoubtedly aware of their terrifying power!

The three ancient weapons.

Uranus, the god of the heavens; Pluto, the god of the underworld; and Poseidon, the god of the sea.

Any ancient weapon has the power to influence the course of world affairs!

I never expected this...

The Konoha Pirates are using Ancient Weapons as prizes for winning a hunting game!

Coincidentally, the first group of players on Skypiea—the Straw Hat Pirates, Blackbeard Teach, and Doflamingo—had all heard of the Ancient Weapons…

The Straw Hat Pirates didn't seem to care much about this.

A look of greed flashed across the faces of Blackbeard Teach and Doflamingo at the same time. They both knew very well what it meant to have obtained an ancient weapon!

With just one Ancient Weapon, one can instantly rise to the pinnacle of the sea, and may even become the Pirate King or the King of the World in the future!

"Hahaha..."

Blackbeard Teach's eyes were filled with greed, and his mouth gaped wide: "I really didn't expect to have such an unexpected gain after coming to the Sky Island..."

"Fufufufufu..."

Doflamingo's fingers trembled involuntarily, his heart pounded, and he could clearly feel his excitement for the Ancient Weapons!

If the Konoha Pirates really do as they promise and hand over the location of the Ancient Weapons to the winner, Doflamingo won't care about the prey in this hunting game!

Aside from those two guys on the Sky Island…

Ambitious individuals around the world are also getting restless!

Strong individuals around the world who wanted to prevent the ancient weapons from being used by evil people could no longer contain themselves and immediately planned to set off for the Sky Island to prevent the future seas from falling into chaos!

The Five Elders dared not delay any longer and immediately issued an order, instructing Fleet Admiral Sengoku, who had been waiting in preparation, to lead the Admirals to the Sky Island!

"The Warring States Period!"

The Five Elders' attitude was extremely firm, even unprecedentedly stern: "No matter how the Skypiea incident unfolds, we absolutely cannot allow any pirates on Skypiea to leave with information about Poseidon. We will depart from Enies Lobby immediately!"

"I see."

Sengoku nodded in agreement and immediately summoned Admirals Aokiji and Kizaru to head to the sky island above Jaya Island.

On the Sabaody Archipelago.

Shanks' gaze was very serious.

Rayleigh watched the video feed from the Den Den Mushi and suddenly chuckled, "I never expected they'd also found the whereabouts of Poseidon, the Sea King, that appeared on the Sky Island..."

Very few people in this world know anything about Poseidon, the Sea King. Rayleigh, as the vice-captain of Roger's pirate crew, happens to know many of the secrets of history.

"I'm going to Sky Island."

Red-haired Shanks stood up and bowed politely to his former first mate: "No matter what, I must stop this from happening..."

If the Konoha Pirates were to actually spread the news of the whereabouts of the Ancient Weapons, it would undoubtedly cause the already precarious situation to collapse completely!

Moreover…

There's another person on the sky island that Shanks is extremely interested in...

Marshall D. Teach with the black beard.

This is an extremely dangerous person. Shanks would never dare to underestimate Teach's power and ambition, and he also knows that the other party will definitely stir up a storm on the sea!

If Teach finds out where the Ancient Weapon is and uses it to overturn the situation, no one will be able to stop him!

Shanks, one of the Four Emperors, wanted to prevent Blackbeard Teach from obtaining the Ancient Weapons and also wanted to prevent the Ancient Weapons from being scattered by the Konoha Pirates, but the other Four Emperors didn't think the same way.

Among the Four Emperors, Big Mom Charlotte Linlin and Kaido of the Beasts are constantly trying to strengthen their forces, and they are even more eager for the Ancient Weapons!

Charlotte Linlin, who had been stationed in Whole Cake Island, could no longer sit still. Two clouds instantly appeared beside her, and she began to head towards Sky Island on them. Kaido of the Beasts, who was already on his way to chase the Konoha Pirates, also quickly changed direction and headed towards Sky Island!

The last of the Four Emperors...

Edward Newgate, the Whitebeard.

Onboard the Moby Dick, a group of captains were filled with excitement.

"Dad!"

"We have to go to the Sky Island!"

"Catch that traitor Teach and avenge Satch!"

"We absolutely cannot let that traitor Teach get his hands on the Ancient Weapon! Let's go to the Sky Island and kill him! Dad, let's hurry!"

"..."

Whitebeard watched the group of captains who were making a ruckus and heading to Sky Island, then closed his eyes and fell into deep thought, seemingly pondering something on his own.

"Shut up, all of you!"

Marco, the captain of the First Division, immediately silenced his brothers and sisters. He rolled his deadpan eyes at the noisy group: "Shut up, all of you! No more noise! ​​Let Dad make the decision!"

"..."

The team leaders then lowered their heads dejectedly.

However, after Marco silenced the captains, he spoke up himself: "Dad, let me go by myself! Ace will definitely go to Skypiea, I'll bring him back while I'm there!"

If Whitebeard were to make a big fuss, it would be bad for his condition; Marco didn't want Whitebeard to get involved. He believed he was strong enough to kill the traitor Blackbeard Teach on the ship without any problem, and he could also bring Ace back to the ship while he was away.

In case of danger...

Marco believed he could at least escape unscathed.

Whitebeard suddenly opened his eyes. He looked at Marco beside him, staring into Marco's eyes as if he could see something in those dead fish eyes.

"..."

Whitebeard sensed his own aging.

This kind of aging doesn't come from one's body, but from one's mind.

Many people on the Moby Dick were homeless; they grew up under their own protection, like children who never grew up…

however…

Marco is an exception.

Marco had followed him for thirty years and had long since grown into someone capable of shouldering great responsibilities, like the eldest brother in a large family, taking care of his brothers and sisters and his old father.

"Marco."

The white-bearded man looked at Marco and slowly nodded at him: "Don't worry about Teach's problem, all I want is for you and Ace to come back safe and sound..."

"Don't worry, Dad!"

Marco immediately agreed, and layers of blue flames quickly appeared around his body, transforming him into a blue phoenix in an instant!

Bird-Bird Fruit, Mythical Zoan Type, Phoenix Form!

The blue phoenix flapped its wings and flew into the distance!

The Four Emperors' pirate crews, the World Government, and the Navy are all taking action on the high seas. The Seven Warlords of the Sea are also making no moves. Apart from Doflamingo, who has already appeared on Skypiea, the Seven Warlords of the Sea from Fishman Island—Jinbe the Knight of the Sea, Boa Hancock, the Great Swordsman Dracule Mihawk, and the Tyrant Bartholomew Kuma—are all heading towards Skypiea!

Only one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea remained motionless…

Moonlight Moria.

The man remained obediently in his own territory, diligently organizing his shadow army.

Besides these forces…

The revolutionary army was undoubtedly the fastest to act.

Monkey D. Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, ordered his subordinates to constantly relay messages to him via video Den Den Mushi while he himself set off ahead of them to Skypiea!

No matter what...

For both public and private reasons, Dragon cannot miss this Sky Island incident!

On the floating island.

The Konoha Pirates seemed to know who this news would attract.

After Sasori announced that the Ancient Weapon Poseidon would be the prize, he did not explain the significance of the Ancient Weapon to the uninformed world.

"alright."

"I probably don't need to explain the existence of ancient weapons."

"If you've never even heard of the Ancient Weapons, there's no point in participating in this hunting game, and you'd never have a chance to become the Pirate King..."

"..."

Many unsuspecting pirates on the high seas were immediately alarmed.

Although they had never heard of ancient weapons, being ridiculed like this was really infuriating!

"but…"

"You should be very interested in the prey for this hunting game..."

Sasori's eyes were dull and lifeless, and his voice was extremely calm, yet he uttered words that shocked the entire world: "The prey of this hunting game is the Celestial Dragons..."

"!!!"

The entire world stared in disbelief at the image before them, as if they had misheard something. Was this some kind of joke?

The Celestial Dragons, high and mighty...

How could I possibly become prey!

The Celestial Dragons have been constantly exploiting the world, forcing people to work hard to earn money, and most of their income has to be paid as tribute to the Celestial Dragons...

Those big shots…

Any random person could destroy a kingdom…

It turned out to be the prey in this hunting game!

However, while most people were shocked and terrified, many humans who had been persecuted by the Celestial Dragons became excited in front of the video as if they had gone mad!

"Kill those Celestial Dragons!"

"Let those Celestial Dragons die!"

Many people watched the red-haired boy in the video with great excitement, tears streaming down their faces. Some even set off immediately to reach the Sky Island!

this moment…

After the initial shock and fear, all the people who had been oppressed and persecuted by the Celestial Dragons quickly erupted into a wave of cheers. The Celestial Dragons, who had committed evil deeds in the world for eight hundred years, were finally brought down from their pedestals!

A huge ship.

Two sea snakes pulled the ship forward.

Empress Boa Hancock sat in her cabin, a Den Den Mushi in her hand, tears streaming down her face...

Because she was on her way to Gaya Island, she couldn't stay in front of the video Den Den Mushi and could only relay the message through a regular Den Den Mushi.

A past nightmare...

A terrifying shadow I've never forgotten since childhood...

At that moment, it slowly dissipated from her heart...

"Those bastards..."

Boa Hancock gripped the Den Den Mushi tightly, biting her lip so hard it almost bled: "So, I'm finally going to be punished...?"

On an island.

The Buggy Pirates are on this island.

A group of pirates also gathered around the town's video Den Den Mushi and cheered.

After leaving Alabasta, they continued sailing, and were pursued by many naval forces. Fortunately, they encountered a man who saved them.

This man's name is Portgas D. Ace.

Buggy the Clown and Fire Fist Ace got along very well, watching a video together. In the video, Fire Fist Ace saw his younger brother Luffy and Blackbeard Teach, the enemy he was looking for, both on Skypiea.

"I'm going to Sky Island."

Fire Fist Ace wants to say goodbye to Bucky the Clown.

"That's really true..."

Bucky the Clown was stunned for a second, and could only lower his head with some sadness and regret. He was a very loyal man and would also feel sad about parting with his friends.

however…

Before Bucky the Clown could finish speaking...

A group of Buggy's pirate crew immediately cheered!

"Captain Bucky will definitely go to Skypiea too!"

"Captain Buggy was the first Celestial Dragon to kill!"

"How could Captain Buggy possibly miss such a feast of slaughtering Celestial Dragons!"

"etc…"

Bucky the Clown's eyes widened suddenly, and he unconsciously wanted to stop his subordinate from talking nonsense. He would never dare to assassinate any Celestial Dragon!

This kind of trouble…

Bucky the Clown definitely doesn't want to go!

He didn't care about ancient weapons or Celestial Dragons; he only wanted to find the hidden treasures in the sea and had no desire to get involved in those troublesome matters!

but…

The pirates lifted their captain up again.

Fire Fist Ace looked at Bucky the Clown in front of him and couldn't help but laugh: "Hahahaha... Let's go together then!"

"Huh? Huh! Huh?!"

Bucky the Clown clutched his head, looking at his cheering subordinates and the smiling Fire Fist Ace in front of him, feeling an immense headache coming on!

"The Sky Island will definitely be super troublesome now..."

Buggy the Clown stared at the image on the Den Den Mushi, a look of pain and conflict flashing across his face: "Those friends from the Konoha Pirates are a real handful... Straw Hat Luffy's also on Skypiea, although I do want to go find him and get revenge..."

"Huh?"

Do you have a grudge against Luffy?

Fire Fist Ace put his arm around Buggy the Clown's shoulder and started calling him brother: "No matter what, Luffy is my brother, so don't hold it against that guy for my sake..."

I didn’t even care that Buggy the Clown was once a member of Gol D. Roger’s crew, so why is Buggy so fixated on Luffy?

"Huh?"

A group of pirates stared at Fire Fist Ace in astonishment.

Is the person who saved them Luffy's brother?

Bucky the Clown also looked at Fire Fist Ace in shock, his face immediately contorted with even greater distress and pain!

no…

Why do you have to do this?!

Why is the friend I just made the Straw Hat Boy's older brother?!

He suffered greatly after being defeated by the Straw Hat Boy, but his friend is that guy's brother. What is he supposed to do?

"Let's go, let's go..."

Fire Fist Ace, pulling Bucky the Clown along, planned to travel together on their boat: "Let's hurry, before Teach gets away..."

"That guy named Teach..."

Buggy the Clown suddenly became curious as well. He remembered seeing Teach when he was an apprentice crew member on Roger's crew: "That guy is a monster. When I fought against your Whitebeard Pirates, I heard that this guy named Teach had never slept since birth..."

"ha…"

Fire Fist Ace smiled, but didn't ask any more questions.

The world's most renowned and powerful figures flocked to Sky Island, whether for the chance to kill the Celestial Dragons or for news of Poseidon, the Sea King.

of course.

The Straw Hat Pirates don't really care about the Celestial Dragons.

Only Nico Robin paid attention to these things. She even had mixed feelings when Mary Geoise was breached by the Konoha Pirates, because her enemy was the World Government.

World Government…

It was formed by the Celestial Dragons.

"really…"

"The status of the Celestial Dragons..."

"No longer so supreme..."

Nico Robin felt a sense of relief. When she saw the Alabasta and Mary Geoise incidents in the newspapers, she could foresee the fate of the Celestial Dragons and the World Government through these two events.

just now…

The Konoha Pirates are accelerating this process.

Once this hunting game with the Celestial Dragons as prey ends, there will be few people in the world who will still fear the Celestial Dragons.

Those brutal Celestial Dragons...

Before the strong, they are nothing more than pigs and dogs that can be slaughtered at will!

"I think…"

"There must be quite a few people interested in hunting down Celestial Dragons, right?"

Sasori of the Red Sand stood at the bow of the Golden Ark, seemingly able to imagine the cheers and responses from all over the world, yet his voice remained as cold and indifferent as if it had no waves.

"Since that's the case..."

"We hope everyone will participate actively..."

"We deployed about a thousand Celestial Dragons to Skypiea."

"These Celestial Dragons will be free to roam within the Sky Island area. They all possess chips that symbolize their Celestial Dragon identity; these chips will serve as proof of their ultimate victory..."

"..."

Doflamingo instinctively clenched his fist.

once…

He was one of them.

However, his father had relinquished his Celestial Dragon status, and his entire family's Celestial Dragon chips had been taken back. Sasori's words were a huge blow to him...

but…

Doflamingo, however, dared not interrupt him.

"but…"

Please be careful as well.

"In this game..."

"There are no extra rules, it's simply hunters killing prey. The hunting game will only end when we're sure all the prey on the floating island has been killed."

"Whether it's hunters killing their prey, hunters killing each other, or prey killing each other, all of these are permitted..."

"The rules for winning the game are simple: after all the prey on the sky island has been killed, the person who obtains the most Celestial Dragon chips will be the winner of the hunting game and will receive our best reward: the whereabouts of the Ancient Weapon Poseidon."

"Besides that..."

"There's also a special perk for those who want to participate in the hunting game."

Sasori's eyes flickered as he brought up something that made the entire sea tremble once more: "Any powerful individual who obtains even one Celestial Dragon identity chip will be able to obtain a ticket to participate in the future auction of Celestial Dragon slaves..."

"I suspect quite a few people already know that a group of high-ranking Celestial Dragons will be put up for auction as slaves, such as Figarand Gringus, the commander of the Celestial Dragon Knights. Those who wish to participate in the auction must possess a Celestial Dragon identity chip..."

"In other words..."

"Only those who obtain the Celestial Dragon identity chip from the Sky Island are qualified to participate in the Celestial Dragon slave auction and obtain the Celestial Dragon slaves they desire..."

"at last."

"To prevent the Celestial Dragons from surviving on the Sky Island."

"The Konoha Pirates' vice-captain, Uchiha Madara, will enter the hunting grounds one month after the game begins and start slaughtering the remaining prey in the hunting game. With his combat power, he will quickly kill all the prey on the Sky Island..."

"same…"

"Uchiha Madara will also be a hidden reward in this hunting game..."

"Any participant who defeats our first mate will obtain the whereabouts of another ancient weapon, Pluto."

It's late... I'll only update once for today...

I'm going to sleep now.
