Konoha's Mission Master

That massive tsunami possessed the violence to destroy Marineford.

In the distance within Yakumo's sight, the white-bearded man's right arm was faintly transforming into wood, the surrounding space was shattering, and his aura was like that of a god suppressing a million-mile-long sea!

The Navy once used Ace as bait, which directly led to the Whitebeard Pirates suffering heavy losses. Now that he has returned, the Navy should be sacrificed as a sacrifice!

Furthermore... if we did that, Whitebeard would storm Marineford, and the Revolutionary Army would take the opportunity to rescue their officers, thus turning it into two completely unrelated events.

The World Government has also been unable to find any evidence of an alliance between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Revolutionary Army, which largely dispels any connection between the two.

Whitebeard did not explain his plan to Yakumo.

When he regains the violence of his youth, his long-extinguished ambition begins to burn fiercely again, and from this night onward... there will be no more peace in the new world.

Ice Age!

Aokiji stood resolutely in front of the giant wave, his expression unwavering. The ice gradually spread outward, forming a huge ice cross. The traces of ice suspended in mid-air gradually spread outward, eventually forming a huge ice wall.

However, Aokiji's strength was somewhat weak in the face of the tsunami, and Fujitora landed on the ice and pressed his staff and sword against the ice wall.

"Gravity wall!"

The deep purple field enveloped the icy barrier, as if coating its surface with a hard barrier. With Fujitora's support, the weight of this defense became even more terrifying, and the two combined to block the tsunami.

Snap... A silver lightning bolt illuminated the night sky.

With a deafening roar, the sound spread to a great distance.

The two counterbalance each other, achieving a balance.

A few seconds later, the barrier shattered with a deafening roar, and huge chunks of ice scattered in all directions. The tsunami swept everything away, and Aokiji and Fujitora were swept into the sea by the tsunami. Their combined attack weakened the power of the tsunami.

Even after the tsunami swept away everything, Marineford still stood, though the naval forces on it suffered heavy losses. Golden light tore through the night, and a golden Buddha angrily attacked from afar, arriving at Marineford in the blink of an eye.

Yakumo and Sabo reunited, but Whitebeard did not arrive as planned. After a slight hesitation, Yakumo decided to return directly to the deserted island.

That night, Yakumo followed Sabo on a sailboat more than ten meters long to move to a new location. It is said that Sabo and Ace exchanged Den Den Mushi for communication.

It will be very convenient to contact each other in the future.

On the fence, Yakumo stood upright, gazing into the distance.

From the direction of Marineford, golden light and shockwaves erupted together, but unfortunately Garp was not there... Sengoku alone probably couldn't withstand Whitebeard, and the impact of their battle tore the sky apart.

"Many people will die tonight."

Sabo stood beside Yakumo and sighed.

This rescue was fraught with twists and turns, involving not only the Thousand-Faced Demon Emperor but also Whitebeard, who intervened to restrain and coordinate the operation, even exceeding the planned level of cooperation.

"This is not my plan."

Yakumo shook his head and gazed into the distance.

"That's normal; those at the Emperor level are people outside the restrictions."

Sabo sighed softly.

Sengoku's golden aura has been completely suppressed by Whitebeard. If nothing unexpected happens, Sengoku will die at Whitebeard's hands tonight.

After all, blocking that tsunami had taken a huge toll on Aokiji and Fujitora.

In the latter half of the night, the small boat had completely moved away from Marineford.

The game system's prompts refreshed in front of me.

Congratulations to the player for completing the mission, "Redemption of the King!"

Congratulations to the player who has won a mystery prize!

[Note: This gift pack requires you to return to the main world to open.]

'Return' or 'Stay temporarily'.

Yakumo ultimately decided to stay for the time being. The teaching of swordsmanship and ninjutsu was not yet completely finished. He planned to spend a month completing the training for these people before returning.

"Come on, come on... We can't rest on the ship, let's keep training."

Yakumo withdrew his gaze, jumped from the railing onto the deck, and simultaneously created a shadow clone, re-entering strict teacher mode.

The group was divided into three groups according to their learning progress.

Currently, Reed is progressing the fastest, having successfully mastered basic water-based ninjutsu and is now beginning to learn master-level Compassion Techniques.

The next day, Kella was rescued without causing any disturbance.

World newspaper headlines…

The strongest returns! Whitebeard crashes into Marine Headquarters!

Last night, Whitebeard stormed Marine Headquarters alone and engaged in fierce battles with Aokiji, Fujitora, and Sengoku.

Witnesses reported that a tsunami swept across tens of thousands of miles of ocean, an extreme cold wave froze thousands of miles of sea, and even a star fell from the sky.

Finally, Whitebeard departed at dawn.

On the naval front, Sengoku and Fujitora were seriously injured, while Aokiji was slightly injured.

Navy casualties: 2680.

Whitebeard Pirates casualties: 0.

The navy suffered heavy losses in this battle and had to retract many of its deployments in the New World, withdraw from the New World stage, and re-establish its hold on the four seas.

The death of Big Mom opened the door to the New World for the Navy, but before they could even unleash their full potential, Whitebeard slammed that door shut again.

The strongest in the world, without a doubt!

That day, Yakumo received a detailed battle report from the Revolutionary Army's investigation.

Whitebeard unleashed a thousand-meter-high tsunami in an attempt to directly submerge Marineford, but was stopped by Aokiji and Fujitora. However, the two of them were also swept away by the giant wave and plunged into the sea. Fortunately, Aokiji froze the seawater around them in time, preventing them from drowning.

Immediately afterwards, Sengoku fought Whitebeard one-on-one.

Three hours later, they were defeated.

Just as Whitebeard was about to kill Sengoku.

Aokiji and Fujitora arrived at the battlefield, and the three of them suppressed Whitebeard, but Whitebeard became more and more courageous in the battle.

By dawn, everyone was nearing their limit.

At the critical moment, Fujitora overexerted himself and summoned three massive meteorites from outer space, which forced Whitebeard to retreat after sustaining injuries.

In this battle, Whitebeard displayed a fighting strength surpassing that of the Four Emperors.

Yakumo held the intelligence report in his hand, remaining silent for a long time.

This is a miracle he created with his own hands.

With the help of Hashirama's cells, Whitebeard broke through some kind of constraint and gained the powerful strength to fight three admirals at the same time.

What caused this miracle?

It shouldn't be like this...

Originally, Yakumo only intended to heal Whitebeard and let him live for a while longer, but he never thought that he would give him such great strength.

Which step went wrong?

Yakumo used his chakra to blast the intelligence into ashes.

I stood up and opened the window.

He is currently at an abandoned base of the Revolutionary Army in the East China Sea, which has ample food and sophisticated medical equipment. Looking out the window, one can see a dozen or so well-organized residences.

Shortly after Yakumo arrived, the Revolutionary Army sent another thirty-six seedlings, hoping that Yakumo could provide guidance and instruction on simple Shadow Clone Techniques and Transformation Techniques.

These two ninjutsu techniques greatly aided the revolutionary army's operations.

A new round of intercolumnar cell seeding.

After providing guidance for the first few days, Yakumo himself completely relinquished his responsibilities, hiding in the medical room and immersing himself in exploration and research.

With a click, Yakumo closed the window again.

Under the microscope, Yakumo observed Reid's cells.

With the perspective of the Palm Immortal Technique combined with a microscope, he could see the most microscopic scenes deep within the cells, which looked like countless rectangles of different colors stacked up to form a magnificent skyscraper.

Those colorful building blocks come from different lineages.

With human cells as the main framework, this cell contains a mixture of animal genes and bloodlines from the Otsutsuki clan.

The three elements are perfectly integrated and unified without any conflict.

Clearly, this is a miracle.

When human genes collide with foreign genes, there is no conflict; instead, they fuse together perfectly to form a completely new state.

This may be the key to Whitebeard's unconventional combat power. Yakumo overlooked an important variable: the Devil Fruit residing within Whitebeard's body.

When the Otsutsuki, Devil Fruit, and human cells are combined, a powerful force that Yakumo finds difficult to comprehend is unleashed.

The fighting power that Whitebeard displayed that day, although not yet at the Six Paths level, was close to that of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha at their peak, possessing the terrifying power to easily destroy an island.

Yakumo's exploration, however, was destined to have no conclusion.

Yakumo could see terrifying potential in Reed's cells, but in terms of strength, he was far inferior to Whitebeard.

The difference between the two.

The difference lies in the starting point when injecting the intercolumnar cells.

And the difference in the number of cells injected into the intercolumn.

After all, these people's Hashirama cells were only used as seeds for refining chakra, and their concentration and quantity were vastly different from Whitebeard's.

By comparing Reid's cells with those of others, Yakumo discovered that this terrifying enhancement mainly came from the fusion of Hashirama's cells and the Devil Fruit.

After this fusion is completed, will it lead to the Devil Fruits becoming more powerful in the future, or is this fusion... the result of the Devil Fruits' active evolution?

So... what exactly is a Devil Fruit?

An incarnation of a sea demon... yet fearing the seawater.

If it were just human cells and Otsutsuki cells, a fierce conflict would inevitably have to break out between them for them to completely fuse.

Therefore, the function of Devil Fruits is to act as extremely powerful neutralizers.
