Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 406 Your thoughts have never mattered!

"Hmph, how ugly..."

Madara Uchiha gritted his teeth and looked down at Kagura Akihara.

"..."

Looking at the people on the battlefield, Hashirama Senju was speechless about Akihara Kagura's actions, only shaking his head slightly: "I hope they are strong enough..."

This statement has a double meaning.

I hope that everyone present will be strong enough in the future, and I also hope that this group of people can be strong enough now to face their Susano'i.

The situation on the battlefield is gradually becoming clear.

With the deaths of three of the Five Elders, the World Government's strongest fighting force, the Four Emperors pirates on the high seas, and even the highest authority of the World Government, were all struggling to hold on against Susagi's attacks...

Shanks swung his rapier at Susagi, but Susagi instead sent him flying, and even those around him were caught in the crossfire!

The two remaining Five Elders, in their ghostly forms, were also struggling to resist. Their hearts were heavy, and their faces were extremely solemn.

"Sigh, we're no match for them..."

Kizaru sighed helplessly, his body dissipating into countless light particles under the blade's edge. This was not the time for him to risk his life.

"This guy..."

Aokiji shook his head, raised his hand and conjured thick ice walls to block Susanoo's blades. He was the only one in this battle who could easily defend himself.

"Shockwave!"

Sengoku raised his hand and unleashed a shockwave that dispersed the weakened blade light. The golden Buddha gasped for breath, feeling somewhat powerless.

"The Warring States Period..."

Suddenly, a monster spoke.

"Cover our retreat..."

The remaining two of the Five Elders decided to give up the fight.

Under these circumstances, they were already considering retreating. With the three highest-ranking officials of the World Government having been killed in succession, they could not afford any more sacrifices!

If even the two of them die here, the World Government is very likely to collapse, especially since they are the channels through which Lord Im controls the world. Lord Im needs the Five Elders to assist in governing this world!

Moreover…

There may be ways to deal with the Konoha Pirates in the future!

Once they return to Mary Geoise, they must immediately push the World Government to support Vegapunk, the world's greatest scientist, in conducting experiments. They must quickly create a weapon capable of defeating the Konoha Pirates!

But...

We'll have to get back first before we can talk about it!

"The Warring States Period"

One of the Five Elders, an old man with eight spider-like legs on his lower body and a bull-like head on his upper body, turned around and gave orders: "You and the others will cover our retreat. Everyone else, evacuate the sky island immediately. You will be in charge of stopping their sniping..."

"..."

There was some hesitation on the golden Buddha's face.

Is the retreat of the Five Elders something they can decide? Doesn't it all depend on the attitude of the Konoha Pirates?

however…

The Five Elders don't care about any of that!

The two old men retreated rapidly, not caring at all about the lives of the marines. They didn't care about such things. As long as they were alive and the World Government still existed, they could rebuild all the marines, whether they were admirals or fleet admirals!

"etc…"

Shanks quickly tried to speak up to stop him.

At least…

We can't retreat like this!

Shanks glanced at the Susagi Man who was right in front of him, and then at Appayado in the distance. A sense of anxiety flashed through his mind!

These two old guys didn't care about the lives of the Marines or the Celestial Dragons in Appayado. They could escape if the Marines left, but what about the Red-Haired Pirates? Their crewmates were waiting for them in Appayado!

But...

Even if the two Five Elders want to escape, they still need to see Madara Uchiha's opinion!

Susagi-jin flapped his wings and took flight, his massive body soaring into the air like a bird, chasing after the two Five Elders!

however…

Right at this crucial moment!

Countless bolts of lightning converged and transformed into a colossal thunder god, blocking Susagi's path and halting their pursuit of the Five Elders!

It was Akihara Kagura.

The meaning of this obstruction is very clear...

Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju have killed enough people…

As Akihara Kagura took action, Sengoku, seeing Susagijin being blocked by the body of the Thunder God, quickly understood their meaning!

The golden Buddha swiftly stepped forward, and together with Admirals Aokiji and Kizaru, they attacked, desperately trying to stop Susagi from pursuing the Five Elders!

"..."

Shanks watched this scene with a heavy expression. After gritting his teeth, he immediately wanted to take the opportunity to leave and call his companions to escape together!

Escaping or something...

As a pirate, Shanks was already used to it!

However, the instant Shanks fled, the body of the Thunder God took the initiative to meet Susanoo, and was dissipated into countless bolts of lightning by Susanoo's sword. Akihara Kagura's body was sent flying backward!

Fleet Admiral Sengoku, Admiral Aokiji, and Kizaru were all defeated by Susanoo, and their bodies were all sent flying!

Susagi stopped attacking them and chased after Shanks, unleashing a sharp slash!

The connection between Angel Island and Apayado has been severed!

Bang!

The towering Susagi landed in front of Shanks!

The instant Susagi landed, Shanks' body came to an abrupt stop, and cold sweat slowly appeared on his forehead...

other side…

It seems they don't intend to let him go...

Shanks glanced back in the direction of the Marines; Fleet Admiral Sengoku, along with two admirals and the user of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, were also preparing to escape…

Obviously.

The navy is unlikely to cover him.

At this time...

What else can I do?

Shanks suddenly smiled, raised his rapier Griffin, and slammed it heavily into the ground.

"I surrender."

Shanks looked up at the two figures on the crystal above Susanoo's head, and smiled as he said, "I can do whatever I want with you, but could you let my companion leave?"

"..."

The tall Susagi-man stopped.

This situation...

It seems I haven't encountered this before.

With the deaths of three of the Five Elders, the surrender of Shanks, and the escape of Fleet Admiral Sengoku, Admirals Kizaru and Aokiji, Lieutenant Kagura Akihara, and two of the Five Elders, this battle finally came to an end.

This also means…

The World Government suffered a crushing defeat in this battle!

Morgans, the president of the World Economic News Agency, was overjoyed. He had filmed the entire battle, especially the gruesome deaths of the three Five Elders. Morgans could almost imagine the sensation this news would cause once it was released!

Konoha Pirates...

It's practically its lucky star!

Since this pirate crew appeared, newspaper sales have been climbing steadily, from the killing of the Celestial Dragons, the Alabasta incident, the Mary Geoise incident, and now the Skypiea incident, with the Sabaody Archipelago auction coming up in the future…

Every major event…

That's enough to shock everyone!

But...

The Sky Island incident is not over yet.

Because the hunting game targeting the Celestial Dragons is still ongoing.

Apayado.

When Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama arrived here.

The battle here has already begun, with Kaido of the Beasts and Charlotte Linlin, two of the Four Emperors, joining forces to take this opportunity to swallow up the Red-Haired Pirates!

only…

Ben Beckman and his crew of pirates were quite powerful, and they refused to join their ranks. The two Yonko planned to wipe out the Red-Haired Pirates outright…

"Is a major event about to begin here?"

"Big News!" Morgans' mood grew increasingly cheerful.

Although it has already gained enough today, and the news of the World Government's defeat is eye-catching, the end of a Yonko pirate crew is also big news!

Unfortunately...

The battle came to an abrupt end after Shanks' return.

Because along with Shanks came Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju, Charlotte Linlin and Kaido of the Beasts had to temporarily stop their attack.

after all…

The two of them witnessed firsthand how terrifying the Konoha Pirates were!

As the two most powerful Emperors of the Sea among pirates, Charlotte Linlin and Kaido of the Beasts naturally wouldn't fear each other. However, Charlotte Linlin didn't want to start a pointless battle, especially when her opponent was stronger than them...

But...

I witnessed Madara Uchiha's power...

Charlotte Linlin realized at least one thing: they might have a hard time finding Hades' whereabouts, because defeating Uchiha Madara didn't seem easy...

but…

Will the Konoha Pirates keep their word?

never mind…

Kill the Celestial Dragons first…

Collect more Celestial Dragon chips...

If the Konoha Pirates are willing to keep their word, then we'll find out where Poseidon is first; if they don't, then we'll go to war with them!

Since we're all pirates anyway, we're bound to fight sooner or later!

"Kaido."

Charlotte Linlin grinned, nonchalantly turning away: "Let's go play the hunting game first, at least we can't come back empty-handed, right?"

"Lingling?"

Kaido, panting heavily, continued to watch the Red-Haired Pirates, his Haki surging and overflowing: "Didn't we agree to take down these meddlesome guys first?"

"Now doesn't seem like the right time..."

Charlotte Linlin shook her head, gesturing to her former companions to get down to business: "It seems the Konoha Pirates and the Red-Haired Pirates have reached some kind of agreement. Let's go hunt down the Celestial Dragons..."

"..."

Kaido clenched his fists and turned to follow Charlotte Linlin into the hunting grounds.

"..."

Shanks looked up at the backs of Kaido and Charlotte Linlin, his gaze unwavering as he gripped his rapier.

actually…

How could they possibly reach any agreement...?

Neither Madara Uchiha nor Hashirama Senju were truly capable of leading the Konoha Pirates; one only knew how to force others to obey his orders, and the other only knew how to beg others to obey his orders.

When facing important matters...

Even Tobirama Senju's words might be more useful than the two of them.

"You guys go first."

Red-Haired Shanks sharply repelled Charlotte Linlin and Kaido of the Beasts, then turned to look at his former companions and suddenly smiled at them.

"Shanks..."

Ben Beckman frowned.

When...

Did they abandon their companions?

"Okay, leave me alone."

Shanks, the red-haired man, waved his hand with a grin and took the initiative to say, "I have something to discuss with the captain of the Konoha Pirates. You guys leave Skypiea first..."

"..."

Ben Beckman remained silent.

A group of pirates watched Shanks silently.

Since none of them are weaklings on the high seas, and not many are out of their minds, they wouldn't want to believe such lies. Besides, quite a few people present could sense their conversation through Observation Haki...

"That's lame, boss!"

Lucky Roux took a bite of meat, then suddenly burst into laughter, mocking Shanks, and loudly declared, "Then we'll be off!"

The Red-Haired Pirates...

For example, Lucky Roux and his group of pirates who have followed Shanks the longest.

They all knew why they were able to leave Apayado, and they also knew what Shanks had done…

"Let's go."

Ben Beckman glanced at Shanks, then calmly instructed his crew, "Leave here first, find a place to wait for Shanks and us to meet up..."

This is…

lie.

Because Ben Beckman had been closely monitoring the battlefield on Angel Island, he knew perfectly well that Shanks's surrender to the Konoha Pirates at the end of the battle was so that they could leave safely...

Theoretically speaking...

Ben Beckman should reject Shanks.

Theoretically speaking...

Ben Beckman should lead the Red-Haired Pirates to live and die alongside Shanks.

However, the Red-Haired Pirates are all quite easygoing. They never question what their crewmates want to do, they believe that their crewmates are doing the right thing, and they will not reject their crewmates' actions.

Just like many years ago…

Shanks sacrificed one of his arms to save Luffy.

If this is what Shanks wants to do, then Ben Beckman should agree to it, and even take his companions off the Skypiea.

If Shanks can return, the Red-Haired Pirates will naturally continue; if Shanks can never return, then Ben Beckman will disband the Red-Haired Pirates completely…

but…

Both Ben Beckman and Shanks are overthinking it…

"Wait a minute..."

Madara Uchiha interrupted their conversation.

The man coldly surveyed the group of pirates from the Red-Haired Pirates, and scoffed, "Wait here for our orders before proceeding with the next step..."

"They don't have..."

Shanks looked at Madara Uchiha, hoping to reason with him.

"Your opinions have never mattered..."

Madara Uchiha's eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Shanks and the group of pirates. The skeleton of Susanoo reappeared on his body as he coldly declared, "All you need to do is obey our orders!"

That Figarand Grindelwald…

Is it the red-haired man's father or his brother?
