Konoha's Mission Master

Numerous golden lights spread out, and some people, amidst pools of blood, sobbed and laughed wildly, celebrating the death of their enemies and their own rebirth. They did not know who the attacking golden figure was... but regarded it as a god.

The surrounding buildings were ablaze, thick black smoke billowing upwards. Before their deaths, some pirates chose a final act of madness.

Destruction is also a form of rebirth.

Yakumo began his attack on the pirates in the center of the island.

Half an hour later, the three worked together to wipe out almost all the pirates, leaving only a dozen or so big pirates with bounties of 500 million Berries, who were forced to the edge of the island's port.

The three met at the port and confronted more than a dozen powerful pirates. As for the giant warship, it was killed by Yakumo's shadow clone at the top of Skull Mountain.

Even though he has a huge physique, his lack of speed is a very obvious weakness.

Under the shadow clone's charged attack, his heart was easily shattered, and he collapsed to the ground to wait for death... His head was then blown off, and he lost his life completely.

"Thousand-Faced Demon Emperor, please spare us! We'll agree to any condition, even offering our loyalty and acknowledging you as our captain!"

The man was about three meters tall, wearing heavy leather armor and a helmet with bull horns on his head; he was very robust.

Looking out from Yakumo, the black mist twisted and formed characters.

Name: Violent Bear Roda Mshte

Sin Value: 4321 (Extremely Evil)

"Unfortunately... your sins are too great, and your only end is death."

"Are you really not afraid of a lose-lose situation?" Seeing Yakumo's resolute will, Münstein dropped his ingratiating expression and threatened him.

He revealed a ferocious smile; this was his true nature—the infamous pirate of the New World.

Bounty: 867.99 million.

"A fight to the death? You think you can take it all?" Yakumo asked disdainfully.

"What if you add me?"

Drought Jack pushed aside the pirates in front of him and gradually approached Yakumo. He grinned, revealing triangular teeth, and his golden ponytail swayed in the wind, radiating a wild and imposing aura.

He was the backbone of this group of pirates.

"Sage Art: Wood Release: Blood Soul Armor!"

Blood-red vines surged from Yakumo's body, enveloping him and spreading, making the edges of his armor more distinct. His height also increased from about 1.8 meters to 2.5 meters.

At this moment, the Demon-Subduing Weapon in his hand looked rather small.

Although he didn't know why Jack was on Beehive Island, he would never change his plans because of it.

If it were Kaido in front of him, Yakumo might temporarily avoid a direct confrontation.

Yakumo looked back at Masako Mori and Chiyuki Yukotsu and found that they were both in good condition and clearly still had great fighting power.

Since that's the case, Yakumo has no intention of letting these villains get away with it.

Regardless of why Jack appeared here, Beehive Island is destined to become his grave. What good is strong vitality... it is ultimately unable to resist the invasion of deathly aura.

"Drought Jack is to be handed over to Chiyuki, the rest... Mori Masako, cooperate with me to kill them."

As soon as Yakumo finished speaking, he rushed out.

As Masako Mori's right eye spun rapidly, one of the female pirates in the group turned pale, clutched her chest, and slowly knelt down.

Everyone drew their weapons, using Armament Haki to protect them and keeping a watchful eye on Yakumo, but no one dared to launch a preemptive attack. They were a fragile alliance bound together by external pressure, with no trust whatsoever.

"Watch out, his target is Rose!"

Someone noticed the female pirate kneeling on one knee and called out to alert her.

Mad Queen Danlin Rose, Paramecia-type Devil Fruit user.

Bounty: 350 million Berries.

When everyone realized what was happening, they didn't try to stop Yakumo's attack, but instead scattered in a hurry to avoid being caught in the attack.

With a flash of golden light, Yakumo successfully completed the harvest.

"We must unite as one to have any chance...of defeating him."

"That's right, we need to unite!"

Everyone responded enthusiastically, showing a strong sense of shared hatred for the enemy.

Apart from Jack, the other pirates regrouped... discussing their next battle strategy. Suddenly, a rather thin man in the crowd clutched his chest and swayed precariously.

The group dispersed with practiced ease, and when Yakumo arrived at the target's side in an instant, the latter swung his long sword in an attempt to fight back.

With a flash of golden light, Yakumo appeared behind his target and thrust his sword in a counterattack.

"Didn't we say we should unite?" someone shouted in dissatisfaction.

“Yes, unity.” Someone in the corner chimed in.

The group began to retreat, moving towards the coast. Those who had survived until now were mostly cunning old foxes; the more stubborn pirates had already been slaughtered by the Flying Thunder God Technique.

When speed and reflexes are absolutely outmatched, the difference between 300 million and 1 billion Berries becomes meaningless.

Unless a Zoan-type Devil Fruit awakens, it cannot withstand a single blow.

This is the terror of the Flying Thunder God Technique!

Once Masako Mori locked onto her third target, the pirates who weren't Devil Fruit users immediately turned around... because they knew they weren't Yakumo's target, and ran a hundred meters before jumping into the sea.

In the blink of an eye, only five pirates who had eaten Devil Fruits remained in the same spot. They turned around and looked around, their eyes filled with despair as they gazed at the sea.

On Beehive Island, where all their ships had been destroyed, they were trapped and had no way to retreat.

"Didn't we agree to fight side by side?"

"Damn it, they escaped!"

Someone murmured a question, his entire body transformed into silver-white steel, and charged towards Yakumo. The other pirates who had eaten Devil Fruits could only follow in his footsteps.

A flash of golden light, and the demon-subduing creature vanished.

This is the Flying Thunder God Slash!

The silver-haired Iron Man had a bloody gash on his waist, which gradually widened and bled profusely. Although he wasn't killed instantly, he had rendered the enemy unable to fight.

Even though his entire body had been transformed into refined steel through countless hammerings, he still couldn't withstand the Demon-Subduing Blade.

A flash of golden light, and the blade slashed horizontally.

Blood blossoms, and all is over.

Countless blood vines tore through the earth, forming a cage around the remaining pirates, and invisible chakra spread outwards...

With the spatial alignment complete, Yakumo began to move to a different position.

Within the area enveloped by the blood vines, countless golden lights appeared... like tangible phantoms emerging from the cage, constantly shifting and flashing.

Where is the enemy?

"Unable to lock".

The pirate, skilled in Observation Haki, tried his best to lock onto the enemy, but he despairingly discovered that he had no way of determining the enemy's location, as the entire space was filled with the enemy's aura.

This aura was everywhere; they were already trapped.

"Flying Thunder God Formation!"

Yakumo began wielding the Demon-Slaying Blade, reaping lives with each strike. The blade sliced ​​through the enemy's body, blood gushing from the wounds.

As they came to their senses, golden light flickered, and the enemy vanished once more, leaving only the four of them like lambs to the slaughter.

"We must break free of our cages to find a way to survive."

Someone gathered Armament Haki and slashed at the blood-red vines!

In the void, three golden shadows flashed, and the blades fell nine times in succession.

That person was instantly killed. The others, knowing there was no hope of resistance, finally began to feel fear. Yakumo could feel that aura of fear slowly spreading out, like a layer of green smoke.

A flash of golden light appeared, and Yakumo released the blood-red vines. Locked in by his Soul Eye, he discovered the five pirates who had jumped into the sea to escape. These pirates were swimming in completely different directions with remarkable coordination.

After a moment's thought, Yakumo released his shadow clones... which scattered and disappeared.

Jack is very strong; he can hone Yuuki Chiyuki's blade. However, Yakumo doesn't want Chiyuki to get hurt, so he doesn't leave the island to pursue her.

The shadow clones roamed the island searching for any remaining pirates, while also gathering those with a sin value below 20, and climbing the mountain to collect the Blackbeard Pirates' treasure.

The main body, along with Masako Mori, watched the battle.

As time passed, Yakumo had essentially finished off the enemy and gathered the poor souls oppressed by the pirates on the shore. He then used his Wood Release technique to construct a large ship and sent them away.

Several thousand Berries were allocated to those people.

The dark green ship slowly left the shore and disappeared from Yakumo's sight, while he refocused his attention on the battle before him.

The deathly aura truly tormented Jack, and he understood that he had no chance of survival. His attacks became increasingly ferocious, and he only hoped to take Yougu Qianxue away from the world before he died.

Gradually, Jack abandoned his human form and entered a half-beast state, looking remarkably like a giant elephant that came from the wilderness. Each of his attacks was exceptionally heavy, causing the earth to shake.

Half an hour later, several shadow clones transmitted back their memories. Of the five powerful individuals who jumped into the sea, four died at the hands of the shadow clones... Only one powerful member of the fish-man race managed to kill the shadow clone by using the currents of the sea.

Two hours later, Yougu Qianxue had gained the upper hand.

Jack was covered in wounds and had already broken free from his half-beast state, clearly having reached his limit.

The deathly aura is far more domineering than Yakumo imagined.

Especially when it erodes life, it is truly all-pervasive, possessing a power that only the legendary god of death could have.

Jack was able to hold on for so long entirely because of the powerful vitality brought about by his Devil Fruit and Fish-Man physique.

Half an hour later, Yougu Qianxue sheathed her sword.

Jack remained standing in the same spot, but he had already lost all signs of life; his body was like a dried-up corpse.

“Master, I’ve noticed that the sorrow of the Nile seems to have grown.”

Yukotsu Chiyuki sheathed her sword and said to Yakumo.

"let me see..."

Yakumo received the Nile's Sorrow from Yukotsu Chiyuki.
