Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 474 To defeat the Goddess of the Rabbit, the Devil Fruit power within Luffy's body must be used.

"alright."

"Now is not the time to mock the world's aristocracy."

Akainu glanced at Akihara Kagura, stopping his subordinates from continuing to mock the Five Elders and Im, before continuing, "Right now, our troubles are still those monsters from Konoha. We shouldn't start infighting at this time..."

The entire ocean knows of Konoha's strength.

Akainu already knew about Kuroshima; after discovering that the island was constructed by covering itself in Armament Haki, the enemy's terror seemed to exceed his expectations…

If we want to fight against Konoha, the Celestial Dragons are also an indispensable force. These Celestial Dragons, whose homes and clans have been destroyed, will definitely hate Konoha with a vengeance.

Moreover…

After the destruction of Mary Geoise…

The threat posed by the Celestial Dragons no longer seems to be a concern.

With only the Five Elders and Im leading this group of Celestial Dragons, it's practically impossible for them to continue ruling the world, unless the Celestial Dragon King named Im possesses power beyond their wildest imagination...

Akainu narrowed his eyes slightly, glancing discreetly at the cabin, pondering what kind of mysterious abilities this king, so highly respected by the two Elders, possessed.

most…

That king was powerful enough to perish together with the Konoha Pirates.

In that case...

This sea will then be completely cleaned up.

Unfortunately...

Akainu knew that this idea was unlikely to come true.

If Im were truly powerful enough, he wouldn't have stood by and watched the Holy Land Mary Geoise be destroyed by the Konoha Pirates, nor would he himself have fallen to such a wretched state...

So…

Just how strong are the Konoha Pirates?

On this vast ocean, victory ultimately comes down to the strength of the individual. Absolute power can suppress any ingenious scheme…

"Just how strong are those guys...?"

Akainu stared intently at Kuroshima, puffing out thick smoke from the cigar dangling from his lips, his brow furrowed as he asked himself, or perhaps he was asking others as well.

"The ones who built that black island..."

"Is he the one hiding behind those guys...?"

"..."

Neither Kizaru nor Fujitora spoke.

Because the two of them knew that the person who was giving Fleet Admiral Akainu a headache was standing right behind him!

"We should know today."

Akihara Kagura walked up to Akainu's side.

"good."

Akainu slowly nodded and continued, "Having caused such a commotion, the people of Konoha no longer need to hide..."

"It's still quite difficult..."

Kizaru sighed softly and slowly said, "We always need to deal with those monsters from the Konoha Pirates before we can face the person behind them..."

"Um…"

Akainu slowly nodded.

Perhaps because Aokiji's group of monsters from Konoha were together, it was somewhat inconvenient at this time, and they didn't send him any information about the person behind Konoha.

to be frank.

This is not due to Aokiji.

Although Aokiji also wanted to send information to Akainu, the person behind the Konoha Pirates did not appear at this time, only leaving behind a black island, which left Aokiji somewhat puzzled.

Black Island.

The Konoha Pirates' Golden Ark was docked in the center.

The members of the Konoha Pirates sat there somewhat bored, while a group of White Zetsu soldiers stood guard around them.

"When can we start?"

Madara Uchiha crossed his arms, his eyes filled with a frenzied fighting spirit, as if he could hardly contain his desire to fight.

"It'll be ready soon, right?"

Tobirama Senju extended his palm and gently pressed it onto the ground, whispering, "There are already quite a few people here, and there are quite a few troublesome opponents among them, such as that guy who hid when we attacked Mary Geoise last time..."

"Hmph, troublesome, isn't it?"

A hint of disdain flashed across Madara Uchiha's lips.

For him...

Besides Akihara Kagura, Otsutsuki Kaguya, and Senju Hashirama, how many other people in this ocean could cause him trouble?

"Don't underestimate them..."

Hashirama Senju shook his head, mentioning Edward Newgate, the white-bearded man he had met during the Enies Lobby incident: "There are quite a few strong individuals in this sea. That little giant we encountered at Enies Lobby was very strong..."

"That's a pretty troublesome person..."

Orochimaru smiled and began to recount the information he knew: "Before we arrived here, that man was known as the strongest man in the world!"

"Whitebeard is indeed very strong."

Dracule Mihawk nodded and said in a deep voice, "Whitebeard Edward Newgate was a Sea Emperor who rivaled Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King, in the previous era..."

"Ara..."

Aokiji scratched his head and casually remarked, "That's a big shot who single-handedly intimidated the sea for decades..."

"but…"

"Speaking of which..."

Aokiji glanced around, then seemingly casually asked, "Is this battle against the whole world all up to us? Aren't there any other reinforcements?"

"..."

A group of people looked at Aokiji with strange expressions.

After all, many of the people present were ninjas, and they were very familiar with the art of disguise and intelligence gathering. Aokiji's meaning in saying such a thing was all too obvious...

This guy…

They won't even pretend?

Was it simply too foolish or too outrageous?

Orochimaru's smile deepened as he looked at Aokiji with a grin: "When we are defeated, reinforcements will naturally appear..."

"If we win..."

Orochimaru glanced at everyone present, and continued with a grin, "There shouldn't be any need for him to take action, right?"

"Just a little bit of gravel..."

Madara Uchiha's eyes were arrogant, completely unconcerned about his impending battle against all the top warriors on this vast ocean. He coldly said, "It would be best if someone could dance before me..."

"Someone has moved."

Tobirama Senju suddenly spoke, interrupting the group.

Tobirama Senju's senses were exceptionally sharp. His Observation Haki and chakra perception were combined, allowing him to sense everything around him!

The atmosphere here is too oppressive…

The navy outside can still restrain themselves because of military discipline and orders from superiors, but some of the pirates outside can no longer hold back; they have no discipline whatsoever!

The first person to make a move was a great pirate from the New World. This pirate was not afraid at all and directly released his Conqueror's Haki towards the Black Island!

The number of people possessing Conqueror's Haki in the New World is as numerous as the fish in a river, and naturally there are some powerful individuals among them. These powerful individuals often have strong self-esteem and simply cannot stand being left hanging here. They also want to challenge the famous Konoha!

only…

Kuroshima quickly repelled this Conqueror's Haki!

"How ridiculous!"

The first person to make a move was Boa Hancock!

Boa Hancock suddenly unleashed a burst of Conqueror's Haki, forcefully crushing the enemy's probing attack, and her voice echoed across Black Isle!

"You dare to be so arrogant in front of Konoha with such paltry bravado?"

This…

That's a gross underestimation of Konoha!

Boa Hancock has always been with the Konoha Pirates and has a high standard for Conqueror's Haki. She has always been working hard to catch up with the strong members of the Konoha Pirates, so naturally she looks down on people whose Conqueror's Haki is not even as good as hers!

In fact…

Boa Hancock is no weakling; a former Shichibukai is not a frail individual. It's just that she's not considered a top-tier member of the Konoha Pirates...

Boa Hancock doesn't care about being provoked by others now!

Boom!

As Boa Hancock repelled an attack of Conqueror's Haki, another wave of Conqueror's Haki spread toward Black Island!

A group of powerful pirates from the New World noticed Boa Hancock's counterattack and decided to stop probing her. They suddenly unleashed all their Conqueror's Haki!

Boa Hancock's Conqueror's Haki was immediately overwhelmed!

"I thought Konoha was some kind of scumbag..."

The group of pirates could all sense that Boa Hancock's Conqueror's Haki had receded, and they couldn't help but laugh loudly. Some of them even whistled.

"captain!"

"Let's rush onto the island and take care of those guys!"

"It seems they're not as strong as we thought!"

"snort…"

With a muffled thud from Uchiha Madara, a terrifying burst of Conqueror's Haki suddenly erupted from the Black Island, instantly suppressing the Conqueror's Haki attacking them with overwhelming force!

but…

This quickly provoked a backlash from the pirates!

The powerful beings on the sea have already realized that this is Madara Uchiha's Conqueror's Haki!

The fact that the vice-captain of the Konoha Pirates made a move meant that the true powerhouses on the sea could no longer be ignored!

Edward Newgate (Whitebeard) and Shanks (Red Hair) unleashed their Haki, their black and red Conqueror's Haki pressing down on Kuroshima like flowing clouds!

The navy is also causing trouble.

As the pirates and the Konoha Pirates clashed using Conqueror's Haki, the powerful Celestial Dragons also instantly unleashed their own Conqueror's Haki!

The sky was instantly enveloped by dense black and red arcs of electricity. Countless Conqueror's Haki belonging to different factions began to squeeze and collide with each other. Clouds wrapped in Conqueror's Haki rolled up, and lightning kept moving back and forth in the sky!

At this moment…

The entire sky was cracked open like a honeycomb!

No one wanted to back down in this clash of Conqueror's Haki!

Because on the high seas, the most effective way to test your opponent's strength is through a battle of Conqueror's Haki. Once you can suppress your opponent with Haki, the actual fight will be much easier!

As the Conqueror's Haki clashed in the sky, the impact swept across everything around, and huge waves gradually rose in this calm sea!

but…

No one backed down!

However, the Konoha Pirates, who were at the center of this clash of Conqueror's Haki, slowly retreated. Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju's Haki were able to withstand the combined attack and suppression from both the pirates and the Marines, but neither of them could completely overwhelm them!

Click...

The air was suddenly torn apart by black arcs of electricity!

Boom boom boom!

Lightning flashed across the sky, and along with the appearance of this sound, countless sounds of air being torn apart by the collision and compression of Conqueror's Haki rang out one after another!

At this moment, the sky looked as if it had been torn apart by the combined efforts of everyone in the battle, with countless cracks in the air continuing to rupture the sky!

"Does this require my intervention?"

Kaguya Otsutsuki slightly raised her head, looking at the Haki that was constantly clashing and pressing in the air. Black arcs of electricity and tangible chakra gradually appeared on her body!

Bang!

A sudden gust of wind swept across the entire Black Island!

As Kaguya Otsutsuki released her Conqueror's Haki and chakra, the Conqueror's Haki arcs clashing above the entire sky island were directly suppressed and swept away by her Conqueror's Haki!

All the pirates present who participated in this battle of Conqueror's Haki were completely wiped out by Kaguya Otsutsuki's overwhelming Conqueror's Haki, and were even impacted by Kaguya Otsutsuki's surging chakra!

The sea was completely thrown into chaos at that moment!

Starting from around Kuroshima, the sea surface was whipped up by Kaguya Otsutsuki's domineering aura, creating massive waves that surged outwards towards all sides of Kuroshima!

"puff…"

Some overconfident people even vomited blood.

Although their Conqueror's Haki wasn't strong enough, they had never been so badly injured by a simple clash of Conqueror's Haki before!

This kind of thing...

But it never happened!

Even Shanks and Whitebeard couldn't do that; they needed to use Conqueror's Haki to entangle and attack, rather than simply relying on the clash of Haki to directly injure someone!

"That woman has made her move..."

The white-bearded man's eyes narrowed instantly!

His Conqueror's Haki was actually reflected back by that woman!

The other party's domineering aura...

Do not…

More than just domineering...

It contains Conqueror's Haki, but it is a power that is a level higher than Haki!

"This is impressive..."

Red-haired Shanks drew his rapier, Griffin, and unleashed a black and red slash that instantly obliterated and destroyed the oncoming waves. The momentum of the black and red slash continued as it hurtled towards Black Island!

next moment!

A black beam shot into the sky from the black island!

The world's greatest swordsman, Hawkeye Mihawk, wielded his black sword, instantly shattering Shanks's slash. In the art of swordsmanship, he was never inferior to anyone!

"That Mihawk guy..."

Red-haired Shanks watched as his attack was thwarted, a bitter smile playing on his lips, seemingly resigned to the fact that his former rival and close friend had sided with the enemy.

Ben Beckman stood beside Shanks, reminding his captain, "Shanks, if the Celestial Dragons don't have any trump cards up their sleeves, it's hard to say we can defeat them. Even just the White Zetsu forces of the Konoha Pirates are troublesome..."

Back in the Sabaody Archipelago, the Red-Haired Pirates had already witnessed that the White Zetsu of the Konoha Pirates were equivalent to the fighting power of hundreds of Shichibukai!

On paper...

They really have a hard time defeating their opponents.

"and…"

"And there's the legendary Goddess of the Rabbit..."

Ben Beckman looked at Shanks.

Because during the Enies Lobby incident, the two of them had already confirmed one thing: Kaguya Otsutsuki was the legendary goddess of the rabbit.

Ben Beckman took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and gently lit it: "We have no information about the legendary gods, not even about their power, only that they seem to be omnipotent..."

"No…"

"Some people do know..."

The wry smile on Shanks' face lasted only a second before his expression turned serious again. He turned his head slightly to look at his empty arm: "Beckman, perhaps I'll have to use the future I gambled on before..."

"!!!"

Ben Beckman's eyes widened in surprise, and the cigarette he was holding fell to the ground. He still managed to maintain his composure, slowly saying, "Shanks, are you kidding me?"

Ben Beckman shook his head, disagreeing with Shanks's opinion: "Even with Rayleigh's special training, Luffy's strength is still not enough to participate in this level of battle..."

After Ben Beckman finished speaking, he glanced back at the back of the pirate area, where the Thousand Sunny, which had come to watch the excitement in the Black Isle waters, was docked. The Straw Hat crew seemed to have run into some acquaintances there, and Luffy was gesturing wildly as he chatted with them.

too young.

Sixteen-year-old Luffy is simply not enough.

Even though he mastered all three types of Haki under Rayleigh's special training, it was only the most basic application. Defeating Gecko Moria, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, was already his limit, and he was simply not good enough to get involved in a battle of this level!

To put it bluntly...

Luffy would be victorious if he could withstand even one move from Madara Uchiha!

Ben Beckman has always appeared to be a cold-hearted person, but he is extremely rational most of the time.

"Beckman..."

Shanks' eyes turned serious, and he sighed softly, "The Devil Fruit Luffy ate contained the will of a freedom fighter, a power known as the most absurd in the world..."

"That also requires the fruit's ability to awaken..."

Ben Beckman glanced at Shanks, still not entirely approving of Shanks' plan: "That Luffy kid still doesn't know what his Devil Fruit power is, does he?"

"The legendary freedom fighter, Joy Boy..."

"I once fought for the world to relieve the oppression of the Goddess of the Rabbit..."

Red-Haired Shanks stared intently at the Thousand Sunny, and whispered, "Now that we're fighting for the freedom and liberation of the world, Luffy should naturally awaken the power within him..."

"We all know..."

"I want to defeat the Goddess of the Rabbit..."

"We absolutely need to use Luffy's power..."

"If it weren't for the Konoha Pirates' sudden attack, I wouldn't want Luffy to face his fate so soon..."
