Konoha's Mission Master

Can death be categorized as natural, or superhuman?

At the very least, the old man did not exhibit any naturalistic traits.

It can't be the Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Death God Mode, can it?

While Yakumo was lost in thought, the enhanced absorption in the arena was nearing its end. The black crystal was now the size of a sesame seed and could disappear completely at any moment.

The evolution level of Nile Sorrow has reached 15%.

The next second, the absorption and enhancement completely ended, and Yakumo also figured out the evolutionary conditions of the Nile's Sorrow...absorbing death energy.

"Thank you, Master." You Gu Qianxue sheathed her weapon. Although its appearance hadn't changed, he was certain... the weapon had become stronger.

"It's alright." Yakumo waved his hand dismissively.

"Qianxue, prepare lunch, then let's continue our voyage."

"As ordered."

Yakumo and Mori Masako lay on wicker chairs enjoying the sea breeze, while Yuuki Chiyuki created three shadow clones to prepare lunch. Everyone was busy with their own tasks, and everyone felt a deep sense of happiness.

Before long, Yakumo, who couldn't stay idle, took the initiative to help, successfully inspiring Mori Masako's enthusiasm for work, and the three of them began to prepare lunch together.

The most delicious parts of the sea monsters were used by the group to make various delicacies. Even Masako Mori brought out her signature dishes: cold lettuce salad, seaweed miso soup, and... pineapple stew.

After the meal, Yukotsu Chiyuki cleared the dishes, while Yakumo clasped his hands together and began constructing the ship that would set sail later.

Just then, the Den Den Mushi in my arms began to vibrate slightly.

"Pop, pop, pop, pop."

"It's me, my good brother. I'm sorry to tell you."

Your whereabouts,

The Whitebeard Pirates have already learned of this.

Chapter 327 Proof of Hegemony: The Connection and the Calm Belt

The person on the other end of the Den Den Mushi is Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army.

“Good brother, the traces you left in the Goa Kingdom have a very strong personal mark. I estimate that... not only the Whitebeard Pirates, but even the World Government can guess that you are in the East Blue.”

"In short, we must be extremely careful in the next operation. Do you need me to send Sabo to help?"

“No need,” Yakumo refused.

"It's not a big problem, we'll be leaving the East China Sea in a couple of days anyway."

Yakumo remained completely calm, as he only found the Whitebeard Pirates troublesome, not that he was hiding out of fear.

As for the World Government... he really wasn't afraid at all. He had nothing to lose and was free to return to Konoha at any time... so naturally he wasn't afraid of being intercepted.

"Tomorrow I will go to Windmill Village to retrieve the permanent pointer."

"Good brother, then see you on the Grand Line in a few days."

The dragon's voice was urgent, clearly indicating that the Revolutionary Army's situation was not good, and they were suffering repeated defeats under the suppression of the World Government.

After exchanging only a few words, the two tacitly hung up the phone. The Revolutionary Army's Den Den Mushi were not safe and could be monitored by the World Government at any time.

"Let's go, let's set off."

Yakumo clasped his hands together, and the ship quickly parted the water. If they encountered pirates along the way, they would deliberately change their route to pursue them.

Dark green ships rapidly spread across the sea.

Less than half an hour later, the group encountered their first target.

At first glance, it's all flowing red, a symbol of profound sin.

Without Yakumo giving any instructions, Mori Masako and Yukotsu Chiyuki rushed out of the cabin and began running wildly on the sea.

The waves crashed against the wooden planks, and the former hunters were transformed into prey. Their terrified screams could not change their inevitable fate.

Standing on the deck, Yakumo carefully observed and found that several of the pirates had a crime value of around 40 and did not seem particularly ruthless, so they were probably newcomers who had not been on the ship for long.

Yukotsu Chiyuki and Mori Masako showed no mercy when they attacked, like wolves among sheep, taking a life with each strike.

Masako Mori shouted slogans of justice, as if she were judging sinners.

"For the sake of justice, may you villains die!"

Yukotsu Chiyuki's demeanor was much calmer. Unlike Mori Masako, she didn't shout slogans but instead silently kept swinging her sword.

The two men skillfully threw the pirate's corpse into the sea. The flowing blood stained the deck, and the corpse attracted sharks.

Killing is never something to be celebrated.

"Hopefully... our actions can reduce the number of people persecuted in this world, so that our trip to this world won't have been in vain."

Yakumo created shadow clones and used Wood Release to form ships. He planned to send these women to a nearby island and give them some money as start-up capital.

I hope... that these people will have a bright future.

The progress of the "Proof of the Overlord" quest has been increased.

The progress of the "Convict" quest has been increased.

The three continued onward, and after about two hours they encountered five pirate crews. Only one of the pirate crews had committed relatively minor sins, so Yakumo did not kill it. The other four pirate crews were all destroyed by the group.

Yukotsu Chiyuki and Mori Masako are definitely at the admiral level in terms of strength. When facing very weak pirates, they almost always kill them all.

As night fell... Yakumo and the others had destroyed fifteen pirate ships, and Mori Masako and Yukotsu Chiyuki had killed over a thousand.

Yukotsu Chiyuki began preparing dinner, while Yakumo dispatched five shadow clones from the sky to annihilate pirate crews within a radius of several thousand kilometers.

With the added advantage of his super-high-speed flight ability, Yakumo swept away pirate crews with great force and with even greater precision. He would let pirates with a sin value of less than 30 go.

On the other hand, the three had already started eating dinner. The series of killings had instinctively weighed heavily on their minds, after all, those were incredibly vibrant lives.

"I guess I'll feel a little burdened."

Yakumo looked at Masako Mori and Chiyuki Yukotsu and said.

"For justice." Masako Mori's gaze was firm as she gave a simple answer.

“90% of the pirates in this world kill civilians and rape innocent women. I believe that what I do is for justice. Although I feel a little burden, I will not stop.”

Yougu Qianxue answered very seriously while holding her rice bowl.

"I remember you didn't always have such a strong sense of kindness."

Yakumo was somewhat gratified. Over the past few years, his guidance of Yukotsu Chiyuki had reduced his indifference to life. Although he was still ruthless when fighting, he had at least gained a better understanding of good and evil.

“Master, you’re right… Since we can choose our lifestyle, let’s be good people,” You Gu Qianxue replied.

"Then why do you want to be a good person?"

"Because my master is a good person."

Yukotsu Chiyuki answered Yakumo with a straight face.

He just wanted to be like his master.

"This... I'm speechless."

At midnight, Yakumo's shadow clones gradually exhausted their chakra and dissipated. A flood of memories surged through his mind, and within a few hours... he defeated thirty-five pirate crews, exceeding his mission objective.

The judge settled the score, and Yakumo received 40,000 gold coins.

Yougu Qianxue received 1.2 gold coins.

That night, Yakumo continued to release shadow clones to sweep away the surrounding pirate crews. If killing is a sin, then let him bear most of it.

The next day, early in the morning.

After finishing breakfast, Yakumo steered the small boat and set off.

On the way, he continued to secretly release shadow clones to deal with the pirates.

Several hours later, the group returned to the Kingdom of Goa.

After circling the island, Yakumo found the location of Windmill Village. The three of them changed their appearances after landing on the island, and even hid their weapons in storage scrolls.

Masako Mori: "Let's go."

It was noon, the temperature was perfect, and the sun was shining brightly.

The three walked along the path leading to the windmill village. The old bluestone was full of uneven pits, and verdant hills could be seen in the distance.

Seabirds flew and cried in the sky, while monkeys perched on branches in the forest, watching pedestrians on the road, whose faces were full of happy smiles.

Although this mountain village is barren, it is a paradise on earth because the naval hero Garp often returns to Windmill Village.

As soon as Yakumo entered Windmill Village, he immediately noticed a masked man in a black cloak quietly approaching.

As the group passed each other, Yakumo found himself holding a permanent pointer.

Yakumo calmly stored the tokens found on the street into his storage scroll.

"We've got the stuff, let's go."

The group immediately turned around and prepared to leave.

Yakumo suddenly stopped in his tracks. There stood an elderly man about two meters tall in front of them, wearing a casual blue short-sleeved shirt, but with exaggeratedly muscular upper body.

The headgear is shaped like a dog's head, with some short silver hair visible.

Vice Admiral Garp, a legendary naval hero.

"The Thousand-Faced Demon Emperor, Jing Yayun?"

Garp narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze sharp as a knife.

"...Could you pretend you didn't see me?"

Yakumo asked with a hint of helplessness, "According to the plan, for the first two months... I intend to take the two of them on a trip, to taste all the delicacies in the One Piece world, without getting involved in any conflicts or turmoil."

What happened in the Kingdom of Goa can only be considered an accident.

"Unfortunately...it's not possible."
