Konoha's Mission Master

"Thank you, Lord Yakumo."

Sivana expressed her gratitude with great sincerity.

"It's alright, cultivation requires a calm mind."

Yakumo gave the instructions again, then turned and left.

A gentle breeze bent the half-meter-high weeds beside Yakumo's legs, pressing them tightly against the ground. When the breeze dissipated, the weeds quickly bounced back up, creating a subtle struggle between the two.

In the woods, fluorescent insects fluttered around the bushes.

Yakumo lay on the tree trunk and closed his eyes.

Over the past two days, Yakumo has observed that Shyvana truly regards him as the only light in her life. Whether it's the young revolutionaries or the gentle Sabo, Shyvana shows them no disdain whatsoever.

She was genuinely sincere towards Yakumo without any ulterior motives.

This is something that no one else in the One Piece world can do.

This is one of the reasons why Yakumo is willing to train Shyvana as much as possible. He will definitely leave the pirate world after the mission, and leaving someone to follow him will definitely be of great use in the future.

On the other hand, the Whitebeard Pirates were, after all, pirates, competitive and ruthless, and fond of exhilarating battles.

Now that Whitebeard has fully recovered from his injuries and made a powerful comeback, he is naturally unwilling to remain idle, so one can imagine how turbulent the New World will be in the future.

The Beasts Pirates declared war on the Whitebeard Pirates more than half a year ago, and later took advantage of the Whitebeard Pirates' avoidance of battle on Fishman Island to forcefully occupy many of the Whitebeard Pirates' territories.

A battle between the two emperors is inevitable.

Blackbeard, despite having two Devil Fruits, has remained completely out of the public eye recently, seemingly vanishing into thin air. He hasn't gotten involved in the chaos of the New World, which is probably what it means to be as steady as a rock.

They sat on the mountain and watched the tigers fight, secretly accumulating strength.

This world is too chaotic; Yakumo doesn't like it.

The following day, after breakfast, Yakumo taught the young members of the Revolutionary Army swordsmanship and ninjutsu. The good news was that Shyvana successfully learned the Shadow Clone Technique.

We didn't officially set off until noon.

Yakumo plunged into the deep sea, his destination Marineford; his long-planned scheme should culminate in today.

According to intelligence from the Revolutionary Army, Kerla was transferred this morning and is currently being held in a temporary prison in Marineford, awaiting his public execution tomorrow morning.

On the naval side, Aokiji and Fujitora were in charge of guard duty.

Of course, those hiding in the shadows have not yet obtained the intelligence.

Yakumo emerged from behind Marineford under the cover of night.

This time, his target was a temporary prison located underground at the Navy Headquarters, so he naturally changed his infiltration direction from the front to the back.

The nearly 100-meter-high vertical wall was nothing to Yakumo; what worried him was the dense cluster of searchlights that flashed by. He could only keep changing his direction of advance to avoid the searchlights shining from above.

With a calm mind and focused spirit, Yakumo entered Sage Mode in an instant.

In this state, his agility increased dramatically again, leaping and bounding across the walls like a ghost or a gecko, making almost no sound as he moved.

Yakumo curled up as much as possible and squeezed into the darkness.

A meter away, a patrol of naval personnel, each carrying a musket on their back and a searchlight in their hand, passed by quickly and in perfect unison, yet they failed to spot Yakumo, who was stuck in the shadows of the wall.

Yakumo emerged from the shadows and checked the time.

There are still two hours until the agreed time with Whitebeard.

There's still time.

Yakumo used his legs to propel himself forward like a large bird... flashing into the passage leading to the temporary prison under the searchlight, but he quickly broke free from the passage and came into the shadows under the wall.

The passageway was only two meters wide, and at one end was the prison where Kerla was held, yet it was brightly lit and guarded every five steps.

Yakumo was incredibly fast, his steps were silent, but he didn't truly disappear unless... he learned the Second Tsuchikage's invisibility technique.

In other words... if he were to sneak in rashly, he would definitely be discovered, so Yakumo had to temporarily change his plans.

Yakumo hung upside down below the passage, stretching out his hands... calmly and slowly began to form hand seals, and thick tree roots emerged from the wall.

It grew, took root, and spread towards the direction of the temporary prison.

In the blink of an eye, the tree roots had already taken over the space beneath the dungeon.

Yakumo did not act immediately, but instead took out a timer and waited for time to pass. Patrolling marines kept passing by in the passage next to him, but they still failed to notice Yakumo, who was only separated by a wall.

It was nearly 7 p.m.

Yakumo quickly descended to the bottom of the prison using the tree roots.

In the dark but not damp prison cell.

Kerra knelt in the steel-enclosed cell, her hands bound in front of her by sea stone handcuffs. A rather lavish dinner was laid out beside her. In any world, the last meal before death is always meant to satisfy the prisoner's reasonable requests.

However, she did not eat. Because her hands were completely bound, if she tried to eat, she would have to make rather unseemly gestures, which would affect her image as a revolutionary army cadre.

Glug glug…

The girl's stomach made a rumbling sound.

In fact, she hadn't eaten for four days.

"Hey."

Kerla's expression fell slightly.

Tomorrow is the day of her execution. She is not afraid of death, but she is worried that her comrades will die at the hands of the navy because of her.

There are three ironclad rules within the revolutionary army.

First, civilians must not be harmed.

Second, one should not make unnecessary sacrifices.

Third, you should not easily abandon your companions.

She knew perfectly well that the revolutionary army would organize a rescue operation tomorrow, and that many people would likely die in the battle.

In fact, the revolutionary's principle of doing things has always been to be cautious. The reason she was captured by the navy this time was because she changed her plans at the last minute and chose to lure the navy away to protect those civilian girls.

"Ah ah ah."

Kera slowly bent down and crept over to the food like a caterpillar. She needed to replenish her strength to prepare for the possible battle tomorrow.

As for appearances... well, nobody sees them anyway!

At that moment, she suddenly noticed a large hole beneath her feet, where thick steel had been neatly cut open. Then, Kera saw a very familiar figure.

Thousand-Faced Demon Emperor - Ii Yakumo.

But he shouldn't be here.

Ignoring Koala's somewhat strange appearance, Yakumo directly swung his sword and severed the surrounding iron chains, causing golden arcs of electricity to fly out as the sword was deflected.

"Break!"

With a soft shout, the sea stone chains on Kella's arms snapped, and the blade flashed... The shackles on both hands were simultaneously severed.

"Don't doubt, don't ask, I'm here to save you."

Kera was lifted up by Yakumo without a word.

He jumped back into the large hole beneath his feet.

Yakumo used his legs to propel himself forward and charged outwards.

"Someone's...breaking out of prison!!"

But an even more violent tremor suddenly arose, like a thunderclap from a clear sky, and the surrounding passageways began to shake violently.

The white-bearded man's hearty laughter enveloped the entire Marineford.

"Warring States Period, I know you're here. Come out and fight!"

Whitebeard's roar successfully drew the attention of all the guards in Marineford, while Koala's escape was subconsciously ignored.

Fujitora and Aokiji rushed toward the direction of the sound.

Carrying Koala on his back, Yakumo gazed at Marineford, which swayed precariously amidst the tremors, and felt... as if Whitebeard hadn't fully grasped his plans and had arbitrarily altered them...

From holding off the enemy, it progressed to the sinking of Marineford.

This was something he suddenly remembered... something the dragon had once said.

"No one can try to control the will of a royal-level powerhouse."

Even if Whitebeard understood his plan.

However, whether or not to carry it out is entirely up to him, just like now... his actions will not directly affect Yakumo's plan to rescue Koala.

"Airquake!!!"

Purple lightning descended from the sky, and arcs of red and black electricity danced in the void, as Conqueror's Haki spread and swept across the void with unbridled abandon...

Chapter 244 Dungeon World: The King's Redemption (End)

Cracks, resembling glass, faintly appeared in the void.

Huge cracks appeared in the once smooth high wall, and stones the size of millstones broke off from the wall and fell into the sea, splashing water several meters high.

Yakumo quickly dodged, and even more stones rained down from the sky.

Marineford seems to be in ruins.

Earthquakes and air earthquakes cause the earth's crust to tumble.

Two tectonic plates collided violently on the seabed, and the shockwave spread upwards, creating a massive tsunami thousands of meters high that surged wildly towards Marineford.

The shockwaves gradually accumulated and intensified.

"Kera said carefully, pressing against Yakumo's back."

"Actually... saving me didn't require such a big fuss."

Yakumo could no longer laugh. Under that tsunami... Marineford was bound to be destroyed, and even Aokiji could not completely freeze the entire tsunami.

This is the true might of Heaven, sweeping across the heavens and earth.
