Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 444 Kizaru: I've seen this kind of ability before…

On the high seas.

A fleet is heading towards Egg Point Island in the New World.

This fleet, consisting of Marine Admiral Kizaru and Marine Vice Admiral Akihara Kagura, and even the Shichibukai Bartholomew Kuma, can be described as a luxuriously equipped fleet.

However, no matter how luxurious the fleet's equipment was, it was all justified, because they were escorting Vegapunk, the world's number one genius. The fleet carried Vegapunk and all his research equipment from the Bank Zone Research Institute to Egg Point Island in the New World.

The World Government ordered the Navy to assist Vegapunk in establishing a new research base in the Egg Point Island area, and Akihara Kagura, a user of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit who came to use technology and ruthlessness to become stronger, also became one of the escorts.

"A user of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit?"

Upon learning that Akihara Kagura was a user of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, Vegapunk became immediately interested and even planned to conduct experiments on her while still on the ship: "She really is a suitable test subject..."

"Experimental subject?"

Akihara Kagura raised an eyebrow.

Vegapunk's words...

Does it sound familiar to him?

"Let's have your blood drawn first."

Vegapunk, eager to conduct his experiment, gestured for Akihara Kagura to follow him: "I'll extract the bloodline factor from your body first; it might come in very handy. The Rumble-Rumble Fruit might be more useful than Borsalino's Glint-Glint Fruit..."

"..."

Akihara Kagura glanced at Kizaru.

"Don't worry."

"Mr. Vegapunk is someone you can trust..."

Kizaru grinned at Vegapunk, then looked at Bartholomew Kuma on the other side, and Sentomaru next to Kuma: "Kuma, Sentomaru, is that right?"

"..."

Bartholomew Kuma held a Bible in his hand and slowly nodded. This Shichibukai seemed to be somewhat taciturn, remaining silent throughout the voyage.

"Vegapunk is amazing!"

Standing beside the bear, Sentomaru, wielding a large axe, responded loudly, his face full of seriousness and respect, clearly showing his fondness for Vegapunk.

"I'm not worried about myself..."

Kagura Akihara followed Vegapunk's footsteps until they reached the closed cabin, at which point she stopped at the cabin door.

Akihara Kagura raised one of her fingers, and a bolt of lightning shot out from the tip. In an instant, this lightning formed an oval-shaped arc around the fleet, severing all of the fleet's communications.

"I'm just worried..."

Akihara Kagura strolled leisurely into the cabin, his voice echoing across the deck: "It'll just scare him..."

Inside the cabin.

All necessary equipment is available.

Vegapunk warmly invited Akihara Kagura to sit down, intending to take a vial of blood from her. However, Akihara Kagura was very familiar with the equipment inside the laboratory. She took two small glass slides and dripped a drop of blood between them. She even helped Vegapunk adjust the microscope.

Are you also a scientific researcher?

Vegapunk, arms crossed, watched Akihara Kagura's actions with a hint of curiosity: "She doesn't seem like someone completely ignorant of science..."

"I've learned a little bit about it in the past..."

Kagura Akihara smiled as she watched Vegapunk sit down to examine the blood, and continued with a smile, "A scientific genius once took me away and used me as a human experimental subject, so I know a little about this..."

"Human experimentation, huh..."

Vegapunk nodded indifferently.

This is the destiny of scientists on the high seas. Compared to basic science, Devil Fruit users and the amazing human bodies found on the sea have indeed provided endless possibilities for science.

"Let me take a look first..."

Vegapunk leaned over the microscope slide, carefully examining Akihara Kagura's blood. His large head suddenly paused, as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

"etc…"

"Did I see wrong?"

The scientist lowered his head again, carefully observing Akihara Kagura's blood. His body suddenly trembled, and he leaned over the microscope for the third time!

"Did I really see wrong?"

"How do I feel..."

Vegapunk's body trembled slightly; he still couldn't quite believe his eyes, and even felt that the laboratory equipment might be malfunctioning!

"Whatever you saw, you didn't see it wrong."

Kagura Akihara stood beside Vegapunk, calmly comforting the scientist.

next second...

The drop of blood under the microscope suddenly swelled up!

In the blink of an eye…

The energy of that drop of blood is about to explode!

"The energy in this drop of blood is about to explode..."

Vegapunk instinctively took a half step back, a look of horror flashing in his eyes. He knew perfectly well that the explosive power of that drop of blood was enough to easily destroy the entire warship!

"It's alright..."

Akihara Kagura reached out and vanished the swollen drop of blood into nothingness.

"etc!"

Vegapunk hurriedly tried to stop Akihara Kagura, still shocked by his discovery. He hadn't even reacted yet: "That drop of blood actually possesses such powerful energy, hiding so many secrets within it. If only I could decipher the secrets of that drop of blood..."

The blood even contains the bloodline factors of Kizaru's Glint-Glint Fruit, and even bloodline factors of other Devil Fruits. This means that there is more than one Devil Fruit power in the blood, which breaks the sea's understanding of Devil Fruits!

Even more amazing is...

The bloodline factors of these Devil Fruits were all suppressed by other amazing genes, genes that had never been discovered before, which would make any scientist ecstatic!

Even Vegapunk…

They also desperately wanted to obtain the secret within the blood!

"Quick, give me just one more drop of blood!"

Vegapunk still subconsciously believed that Akihara Kagura was his experimental subject.

It's astonishing that a user of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit possesses so many amazing genes, including bloodline factors from other Devil Fruits!

"Your blood is amazing!"

Vegapunk's face was full of curiosity and excitement, and he even paced back and forth in the cabin, unable to contain himself, as he spoke of his wild ideas: "If we could find those genes that can suppress Devil Fruit abilities, we could fuse the abilities of multiple Devil Fruits into one. This is a technology that could change the world..."

Bang!

The cabin door was smashed open by a burly figure!

Sentomaru rushed in first, his face tense as he looked at Vegapunk inside the lab: "We just sensed something was wrong inside..."

Behind Sentomaru stood Bartholomew Kuma and Kizaru, all three clearly very worried about Vegapunk's safety.

"I'm fine..."

Vegapunk waved his hands repeatedly, signaling them to leave: "I've discovered many new genes. The experimental materials sent by the World Government this time are excellent. Soon I'll be able to use their genes to complete my hypothesis on the fusion of multiple Devil Fruit abilities!"

"oh oh…"

Sentomaru hurriedly tried to retreat.

"A fusion of multiple Devil Fruit abilities?"

Bartholomew Kuma subconsciously looked at Akihara Kagura. Unlike Sentomaru, he was not an obedient person. He also realized the terror of this technology!

If such technology were to actually exist…

A user with multiple Devil Fruit abilities is definitely more powerful than a user with only one!

Perhaps the World Government could use Vegapunk's technology to create an unprecedentedly powerful being, strong enough to crush anyone in the world!

"That sounds interesting..."

A slight smile appeared on Kizaru's lips.

"Get out of here right now!"

Vegapunk hastily raised his hand to urge them to leave; the scientist was eager to have Akihara Kagura cooperate with him in experiments again.

"Okay, okay..."

Sentomaru hurriedly tried to push Kuma and Kizaru away.

"..."

The bear picked up its Bible and slowly strolled away, intending to leave.

"Looks like something really interesting is going to happen..."

Kizaru, holding a glass of wine, glanced at Vegapunk with a smile, then turned to leave, intending to come back later to inquire about the situation.

"Oh, right."

Just before leaving, Kizaru suddenly stopped and asked Akihara Kagura, "Vice Admiral Kagura, could you please remove the thunderstorms around the fleet? The World Government will be very worried if they can't contact us..."

"It doesn't matter."

Kagura Akihara chuckled lightly, making no attempt to hide her lie: "If the World Government asks, just say it was because Mr. Vegapunk helped me awaken the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's power. Anyway, it'll be over soon..."

"..."

Sentomaru and Kuma's expressions changed simultaneously.

This lieutenant general…

That seems a bit too daring!

They actually kept this from the World Government!

"etc."

Vegapunk remembered what he had seen before and called out to Kuma and Kizaru again: "Kuma, Borsalino, you two stay here!"

"I think I just discovered the bloodline factors of the Paw-Paw Fruit and the Glint-Glint Fruit within this little guy's body, even more superior than yours. I need to confirm this again..."

After Vegapunk finished speaking, he turned to Akihara Kagura and asked, "With so many Devil Fruit bloodline factors, can you also use many Devil Fruit abilities?"

The scene fell silent instantly.

The expressions of everyone present were tinged with surprise.

This is…

What does that mean?

Vegapunk's words left these people somewhat confused. They weren't scientists, but they understood one thing: this Vice Admiral Akihara Kagura seemed to possess the abilities of many Devil Fruits.

"!!!"

Kizaru's gaze turned meaningfully to Akihara Kagura.

Bartholomew Kuma's eyes also revealed a hint of hesitation and surprise, seemingly extremely shocked by the multiple Devil Fruit abilities within Akihara Kagura's body.

"Mr. Vegapunk..."

"You seem to talk too much..."

Akihara Kagura turned to look at the astonished crowd, smiling as she opened her palm: "There are some secrets I originally intended for Mr. Vegapunk alone, so that it would be convenient to kill or imprison you in the future..."

"!!!"

The expressions on everyone's faces changed!

Because they all have close relationships with Vegapunk. Sentomaru was raised by Vegapunk, and Bartholomew Kuma has an even closer relationship with Vegapunk!

"what?"

Vegapunk was still stubbornly unable to grasp the situation.

"not good…"

Kizaru's expression suddenly changed.

Because in Kizaru's line of sight, Akihara Kagura's eyes instantly transformed into a pair of scarlet Rinne Sharingan, which sent a chill down Kizaru's spine!

Those eyes…

Kizaru has seen it before!

The only difference is that Kizaru had only seen one before, on a woman named Kaguya Otsutsuki in the Konoha Pirates. That woman had such an eye on her forehead, which had mysterious and unpredictable abilities!

next moment!

The surrounding environment suddenly changed.

Everyone involuntarily looked around, their gazes filled with surprise and uncertainty. The enclosed cabin slowly transformed into a serene plain filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, with the sound of a babbling brook flowing beside the grass, creating a sense of peace and tranquility.

"This is…"

Vegapunk was still in shock.

"!!!"

Kizaru still held the beer in his hand, his face no longer showed his usual languidness, and his mind even went blank for a second!

because…

This ability to instantly transform space…

Kizaru has seen it before!

The woman who wielded this ability unleashed a power that instilled despair and fear, leaving him utterly powerless to resist in that enclosed space!

How is that possible...

Does Akihara Kagura also possess this ability?

"This is Takamagahara, the place where I live."

Akihara Kagura's body fell backward, and the flowers and plants on the ground quickly spiraled and grew, turning into a vine chair that supported his body.

Perhaps the environment can change a person's mindset.

Akihara Kagura's attitude softened amidst the birdsong and fragrant flowers of the plain, and she even went so far as to explain the origins of Takamagahara to those present: "Theoretically speaking, Takamagahara belongs to another dimension, and only I possess the key to enter this dimension..."

"I have complete control over time and space here, so I don't need to worry about anyone overhearing our conversation, nor do I need to worry about how much time has passed in the real world or whether it will arouse suspicion in others..."

"Please sit down."

Akihara Kagura gestured for everyone present to sit down, telling them not to be too reserved. One by one, vine chairs slowly grew out beneath them.

"..."

Vegapunk remained rooted to the spot, not moving.

This world-renowned scientist, with the support of the world government, has encountered many interesting and rare phenomena, but he has never seen anything like this bizarre situation before…

"Takamagahara..."

A sense of unease crept into Bartholomew Xiong's heart.

Because the bear had traveled all over the world and had never seen such scenery, nor had he ever seen an ability like that of Akihara Kagura.

but…

Kuma had heard of this name before, but during his long journey, the name Takamagahara was often only found in myths and legends!

"In some myths and legends..."

Bartholomew Kuma finally lost his composure, his eyes fixed on Akihara Kagura, sweat beading on his forehead with tension: "This is where the gods reside..."

"Where do gods...dwell?"

Sentomaru looked around in astonishment.

Sentomaru wasn't very bright. He glanced at the chair behind him, which was covered in flowers and vines, and then looked at the peaceful and tranquil grassland.

"..."

Kizaru's eyebrows twitched.

The admiral took a deep breath, his face regaining its lazy and nonchalant expression, as if he had accepted his fate.

The admiral's face remained expressionless, but his mind was racing like a gear. The turbulent waves churning within him were difficult to calm down, and he even had to resort to small actions like adjusting his suit to try and regain his composure.

"That's really surprising..."

Kizaru fixed his gaze on Akihara Kagura, smiling as he asked, "Vice Admiral Kagura, if we're counting from the perspective of the Konoha Pirates, I should be considered your subordinate, right?"

"Grandpa Kizaru?"

Sentomaru still didn't quite understand the meaning behind Kizaru's words.

"!!!"

A sense of fear arose in Bartholomew Bear's heart!

"You guessed it?"

Akihara Kagura snapped her fingers.

With a snap of his fingers, the beer in Kizaru's empty beer glass slowly rose as if it were water.

"I've seen this ability before..."

Kizaru glanced down at his full sake glass, then looked at the peaceful and serene space, recalling the fear he had felt when Kaguya dominated him: "That being who once left me utterly powerless was the legendary Goddess of the Rabbit, wasn't she?"

"Old man, you've seen the Goddess of the Rabbit!"

Sentomaru's face showed a look of shock.

"!!!"

A look of shock appeared in the bear's eyes.

While everyone on the high seas was searching for the Goddess of the Rabbit and the person behind the Konoha Pirates, Kizaru actually saw the Goddess of the Rabbit and even fought with her, losing to her without any chance of fighting back!

It's too late!
