Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 449 Lieutenant General Kagura, You're Going a Bit Too Extreme

Akihara Kagura's words are often very reasonable.

The Five Elders are the culprits behind many tragedies in the world.

To this vast ocean, the Five Elders and the Celestial Dragons truly deserve to die.

Kizaru stood smiling beside Akihara Kagura, quietly watching her hang up the Den Den Mushi before finally speaking, "Looks like we've found a reason to make our move..."

"More or less."

Kagura Akihara put away her Den Den Mushi, her gaze still fixed on the island: "Now all we need to do is wait for Fleet Admiral Sengoku's message and have Konoha prepare for the auction..."

Marineford.

According to Akihara Kagura's plan, Sengoku immediately contacted Satan Saint.

Satan Saint valued Vegapunk highly and agreed to Sengoku's battle plan, ordering the Navy to gather its admirals in the open sea. He himself would also contact the agents who had infiltrated the Sabaody Archipelago and, incidentally, contact Shanks to work together.

to be honest…

This could be a devastating operation.

The red-haired man may no longer want to participate in this kind of adventure.

Sabaody Archipelago.

The auction venue on Island 1.

Bartholomew Kuma and Sentomaru, along with a group of pacifists, escorted Vegapunk to this location, where absolutely no one dared to cause trouble.

The Konoha Pirates' Science and Technology Trio showed great interest in Vegapunk's arrival and eagerly invited him to their laboratory to exchange their experimental results.

Compared to Vegapunk…

The Konoha Pirates' laboratory is truly luxurious, and this luxury refers not only to the experimental instruments and equipment, but also to the precious experimental materials.

"What is this?"

Vegapunk looked at a white, humanoid creature with curiosity.

"This is a White Zetsu."

Orochimaru stood to the side, a sinister smile on his face, and explained, "Through a world-destroying genjutsu called Infinite Tsukuyomi, human consciousness is pulled into an illusion and completely annihilated. Then, using a plant called the Divine Tree, their bodies are modified, turning them into soulless and willless beings like White Zetsu. This is also a way to destroy the world..."

"what!"

Vegapunk was startled.

This kind of experiment…

This experiment is a bit too evil!

Although Vegapunk did perform memory-erasing surgery on Bartholomew Kuma due to the insistence of the Five Elders and Kuma's pleas...

but…

The Konoha Pirates' methods are a bit too outrageous!

Compared to the Konoha Pirates' methods of directly destroying the world and creating human experimental samples, the evil scientists I had met before were practically perfect people...

"This…"

Vegapunk's gaze fell upon another tall mechanical form, and he quickly changed the subject: "Is this a mechanical creation? Like the pacifists I brought?"

"This is a human puppet."

Sasori shook his head, pointed at Douglas Barrett on the experimental table, and said softly, "First, kill a powerful person, then use puppetry technology to transform the human body into a puppet. This can preserve the person's abilities to the greatest extent possible..."

For example, this guy named Barrett…

Because the other party repeatedly provoked the Konoha Pirates, they eventually angered Madara Uchiha and Tobirama Senju, and ended up as a corpse...

After Sasori modified Douglas Barrett into a human puppet, he was even able to retain the latter's three types of Haki and his fusion Devil Fruit ability.

In a sense...

Sasori of the Red Sand now possesses Conqueror's Haki.

Furthermore, Douglas Barrett's Fusion Fruit ability is the perfect complement to Sasori's mechanical technology, allowing Sasori to freely modify his other puppets and combine them with Douglas Barrett's human puppets during battle.

"There is a most sophisticated form of puppetry in the world."

Sasori of the Red Sand recalled the scene when he was modified by Kagura Akihara and continued, "First, a person's soul is extracted, then their body is transformed into a puppet, and finally, their soul is stuffed into the puppet, allowing them to retain their combat experience from their previous life..."

"..."

Vegapunk's vision went black.

no…

Can't this pirate crew use some normal science and technology?!

Vegapunk walked somewhat unsteadily across the area, and as his gaze wandered around, he suddenly spotted a coffin!

No!

Why is there a coffin here?

Splash splash splash...

The coffin lid slowly slid down...

Vegapunk stared in horror at the human body lying inside the coffin. The body was covered in cracks, and it looked quite frightening!

and…

Why does this person look so much like that mechanical puppet?

"This is an improved version of the Impure World Reincarnation technique."

Tobirama Senju pointed to Douglas Barrett, resurrected through Edo Tensei, in the coffin and softly introduced his research findings: "As long as you obtain a small amount of the other person's body tissue, and their soul doesn't exist in the mortal world and isn't restrained by anyone else, you can use a living person as a sacrifice to pull their soul back from the world of the dead and recreate an immortal Edo Tensei body for them. The deceased can retain most of their combat power and experience from their previous life. A type of cell is implanted inside that can control all of their actions..."

"!!!"

Vegapunk felt a wave of dizziness.

This brilliant scientist felt like he had fallen into a wolf's den!

The Konoha Pirates' technology sounds incredibly advanced, but it's all far too evil! Why are they either using living people's bodies or torturing their souls?!

however…

The Konoha Pirates brought even more shock.

Tobirama Senju pointed to a closed glass room where a man was chained with Seastone chains. He introduced him softly, "This is our human experimental subject, Green Bull, a Logia-type Devil Fruit user with the Forest-Forest Fruit ability."

"We have a lot of human blood here..."

"No matter whose blood sample it is, we can find a way to get it."

Sasori of the Red Sand pointed to a row of glass walls covered with test tubes and continued softly, "Even if you need the blood of the Five Elders, we can bring it to you."

"Now…"

"We need Mr. Vegapunk's help to solve a difficult problem..."

Orochimaru smiled at Vegapunk, licking his lips. "We need to create a powerful android, ideally capable of using all the Devil Fruit abilities we know of. We have the technology for androids, but the blood and genes still need to be properly prepared..."

"Artificial humans..."

Vegapunk frowned, recalling his recent research: "I do know something about them. A race called the Lunaria are currently the most suitable genetic carriers for androids. Unfortunately, this race is almost extinct. All the materials of this race are currently in the hands of the World Government. The only known survivor is King, the Wildfire of the Beast Pirates..."

"I see."

Sasori nodded, picked up a Den Den Mushi, and dialed the auction house manager: "Immediately notify King the Wildfire and arrange for him to come and donate blood."

exactly…

The Blazing Flame is also located in the Sabaody Archipelago.

Because King the Wildfire needs to rescue Kaido of the Beasts from the Konoha Pirates, he has been waiting here for negotiations.

"Donate...donate blood?"

Vegapunk's mind was somewhat confused; he felt that this word didn't seem like something King, the Wildfire, from one of the Four Emperors' pirate crews would do.

Unexpectedly…

Jhin, the Wildfire, really came to donate blood.

"The most troublesome thing is..."

"The abilities of multiple Devil Fruits..."

Vegapunk raised his second problem, one he felt he couldn't solve either: "I've only ever seen one person possess the abilities of multiple Devil Fruits..."

"Don't even dream about that person's blood..."

Sasori interrupted Vegapunk, speaking coldly, "Mr. Vegapunk, you have three days left. You'd better hurry... In these three days, we will conduct scientific research together. I hope we can cooperate well and use all the materials here to research what we need."

"I'll try my best..."

Vegapunk wiped the sweat from his brow and made another request: "Where are Kuma and Sentomaru?"

"They must remain in Sabaody Archipelago."

"Those two know far too much."

Sasori's voice quickly turned cold and ruthless.

Although the Konoha Pirates' demands were extremely unreasonable and ruthless, directly jeopardizing Bartholomew Kuma and Sentomaru's freedom, they actually quite enjoyed it.

At least…

Kuma has completely broken free from the control of the World Government.

Compared to Satan's cruelty, the Konoha Pirates' request was nothing to Kuma; he was already content to be reunited with his daughter Bonney.

For the past few days, Kuma and Bonney have been wandering around the Sabaody Archipelago. Here, they don't have to worry about threats from the World Government or about some foolish pirates coming to cause trouble for them.

Aside from the occasional medical check-ups and blood tests that Kuma needs to do with the Konoha Pirates, this man dedicates all his time to his daughter. Their reunion after being apart brings even more joy to the father and daughter.

even…

They also saw the Celestial Dragon slaves.

Those Celestial Dragon slaves were locked in cages, chained as slaves, and forced to watch helplessly as their former slaves reunited with their families before their very eyes.

this moment…

Both sides seemed to see their past reflected in each other.

These Celestial Dragons are the slaves who are about to be auctioned off. They have finally been brought out, which means that this slave auction that has attracted worldwide attention is finally about to begin.

"Bartholomew the Bear!"

One of the Celestial Dragons glared at the other man through gritted teeth and shouted, "Get me out of here right now, or I'll kill you when I get out..."

"Kill him."

A clear, cold voice echoed.

Boa Hancock, the former Shichibukai and Empress of the Sea, walked over in her high heels and loudly ordered Bartholomew Kuma from her high position.

"Boa Hancock..."

Bartholomew Bear looked at her with some surprise.

This woman, who was once my colleague, has now become an apprentice navigator for the Konoha Pirates, and seems to have become even more arrogant than when I first met her as an emperor.

Unlike Kuma, Boa Hancock was not a kind-hearted person. She looked at the Celestial Dragon in the cage with hatred and anger in her eyes, as if she wanted to inflict all the pain she had suffered in her childhood on him and tear him to pieces at this moment!

"Fufufufufu..."

"Killing him would be such a waste..."

Doflamingo strode over with a smirk, "This is a Celestial Dragon, you know. He'd fetch a high price at an auction!"

"That's really in line with your style..."

Jinbe, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, also appeared here.

The guardian of Fishman Island's hometown is located beneath the Sabaody Archipelago. His purpose in coming here is naturally to express his concern for the safety of Fishman Island. Everyone knows that the Konoha Pirates will head to the New World after the auction, and will most likely take the route to Fishman Island...

therefore…

Jinbe, acting on the orders of the Fish-Man Island King, has come to provide the necessary assistance to the Konoha Pirates in their underwater journey, hoping they will pass through Fish-Man Island safely.

"I recognize quite a few people here..."

A man with a cigar also appeared here.

Crocodile, the former Shichibukai, has also arrived at Fishman Island. He and his subordinate, Mr. Daz Bones, have come to join in the last bit of fun.

"Ready to enter?"

A man carrying a black knife walked out.

The appearance of the world's greatest swordsman, Dracule Mihawk, undoubtedly shocked everyone else; they couldn't believe he was here!

This auction…

It has become a gathering of the former Seven Warlords of the Sea!

Apart from Gecko Moria, who had been hiding in the waters of Thriller Bark, all of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, once appointed by the World Government, have come here!

only…

The fates of these Seven Warlords of the Sea have changed dramatically with the shifting tides of the seas.

"Fufufufufu..."

"Even the least likely person to appear has appeared..."

Doflamingo grinned at Mihawk, extending his palm in a friendly manner: "Mihawk, do you need me to give you an admission ticket? Tickets for this auction require a Celestial Dragon's identity chip. All the tickets for the underworld come from me. I don't recall you buying one, Mihawk..."

"unnecessary."

Jorah Mihawk shook his head and walked towards the entrance of the slave auction house: "I probably don't need any of those admission tickets..."

"Fufufufufu..."

"This is the territory of the Konoha Pirates..."

Doflamingo's smile widened, greatly admiring Mihawk's actions. He eagerly anticipated seeing Mihawk fight the Konoha Pirates, yet he feigned advice, saying, "I think it's better not to provoke them here. Even those monsters of the New World's Four Emperors need a Celestial Dragon's identity chip as an entry ticket..."

"Hahahaha...Mihawk!"

Hashirama Senju greeted him warmly, and upon seeing Mihawk there, he was almost moved to tears: "I thought you wouldn't accept the order to assemble the crew. We're about to enter the New World, and it wouldn't be good if the ship was short of cooks..."

"..."

Jorah Mihawk's forehead twitched.

"what!"

Doflamingo's eye twitched!

No!

What's wrong with you guys?!

Why didn't you say anything before joining the Konoha Pirates?

Boa Hancock is one thing, and Bartholomew Kuma's defection to her is also acceptable, but Dracule Mihawk, who never really cares about worldly affairs, has actually secretly defected to the Konoha Pirates!

"!!!"

When Shanks arrived with Ben Beckman and an old man, he saw Hashirama Senju welcoming Mihawk with tears in his eyes, and his expression changed abruptly.

Red-Haired Shanks remembered that one of the Five Elders, Satan Saint, had contacted him, asking him to cooperate with World Government agents and other Marines who had gathered at sea to take action and ensure the safe return of Vegapunk…

Jorah Mihawk…

The world's greatest swordsman, the Konoha Pirates, continues to add to their fighting strength!

That kind of action…

Is it really possible to succeed?

"Let's go in too!"

Rayleigh, standing beside Shanks, smiled and said, "Speaking of which, that little guy named Luffy is not bad. He's quite like Roger back in the day..."

"yes…"

Red-haired Shanks smiled and nodded, echoing the senior who had come to join in the fun, since it was he who recommended Luffy to come and find Rayleigh to learn Haki.

of course.

Rayleigh was not one to mince words.

This senior also asked Shanks to take him to see some excitement, since the Celestial Dragon identity chip was too expensive for Rayleigh to afford...

but…

The auction of the Celestial Dragons was quite a spectacle…

Rayleigh really didn't want to miss out.

"Excuse me..."

Two tall figures walked over.

Kaido of the Beasts, bandaged up, and King the Wildfire approached. This Emperor of the Sea had finally secured the release of the Konoha Pirates thanks to the voluntary bloodshed of his subordinates.

This is truly unexpected...

"Yo, Kaido!"

A woman's voice also appeared here.

Charlotte Linlin appeared with her son Katakuri, a wide smile spreading across her face: "I really didn't expect you to still be here..."

"Lingling!"

Kaido of the Beasts glared at Charlotte Linlin, rubbing his wrist and grinning, "You old hag, you're out here too!"

"I also have to thank my filial son..."

Charlotte Linlin grinned, but there was anger and fear in her eyes, because she was able to get out this time entirely because of the Charlotte family bloodline.

after all…

The Charlotte family has many Devil Fruit users.

When Katakuri learned that Kaido of the Beasts had been released, he immediately made a deal with the Konoha Pirates, and all the Devil Fruit users of the Charlotte family offered their blood.

"There are quite a few familiar faces here..."

Charlotte Linlin's gaze swept over everyone present, and she couldn't help but smile: "Even Rayleigh is here..."

Aside from the white beard…

The other three sea emperors are here.

This slave auction…

It was almost as if all the strongest warriors on the sea had been gathered together.

That's how it is on the pirate side.

The navy will certainly not be ambiguous either.

Apart from Aokiji, who was still patrolling overseas, the Navy Headquarters also assembled two admirals and dozens of warships in the waters off the Sabaody Archipelago, ready to land at any time!

This time…

Marine Admiral Akainu finally made it to the battlefield!

This is also the first time that Admiral Akainu has had the opportunity to fight the Konoha Pirates!

same.

This was also the first time that Akihara Kagura had met this naval admiral.

"What are the plans for the amphibious landing operation?"

Akainu stood at the bow of the ship, a thick cigar dangling from his mouth, asking Kizaru and Akihara Kagura questions, as he was new to the area and didn't know much about the situation.

"The best solution is to bomb the Sabaody Archipelago..."

Kagura Akihara, holding a glass of pear juice, offered her idea: "By gathering all the navy's warships and their firepower, the three of us can work together to sink this island. Then we can rescue people from the sea and salvage Vegapunk and the Celestial Dragons..."

"..."

Kizaru's eye twitched, and he gripped the beer mug in his hand tighter.

no…

How could such a plan exist!

Even if this person is the mastermind, isn't this suggestion a bit outrageous?

no…

Hasn't this person always presented himself as gentle in his methods?

Why would you suddenly propose such an extreme plan in front of your fellow townsman?

"Um…"

Akainu nodded, seemingly somewhat satisfied.

No wonder…

The Warring States Marshal had always wanted to bring this lieutenant general under his command…

It turns out this vice admiral, like himself, has a drastic approach to things, and both are ruthless in their actions...

If I were to become a Fleet Admiral in the future, this Vice Admiral would certainly be a supporter of mine, supporting the justice I promote within the Navy…

"Lieutenant General Kagura..."

"Your battle plan is good..."

Akainu praised Akihara Kagura, his gaze drifting towards the rich and beautiful Sabaody Archipelago, and leisurely exhaled a plume of smoke: "It's just a bit too extreme..."

I used to think Akainu was pretty awful...

But the current style of action in comics…

Is Akainu plotting something? He's doing a better job than Sengoku was when he was in the Navy; all the Shichibukai were dismissed...
