Konoha's Mission Master

"This ability of yours is really convenient."

With a blade of grass in his mouth, Garp sighed. His body had now largely regained its mobility, and he no longer needed any further care.

"Want to learn? I'll teach you."

“I don’t want to learn,” Karp replied immediately.

"If I wanted to harm you, I wouldn't have waited until now."

Yakumo shrugged, seemingly unconcerned.

"Then I won't learn it."

"Do you think I'll lose because Im is very strong?"

Yakumo gazed at the distant sunset and asked softly, hoping to get some information from Garp about Im.

He couldn't get the information he wanted from Sengoku and Kyoryu's minds. Perhaps, he could get information about Im from Garp's memories.

"You actually know about Im."

Garp's gaze narrowed slightly, his pupils dilated a little, and a hint of fear was revealed in his eyes. Clearly, the memories of Im were something Garp didn't want to recall.

Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Yakumo's face. It seemed he could get the information he wanted from Garp.

“I’ve seen him make a move before. An extremely powerful assassin broke into the Flower Garden and attacked Im,” Garp said slowly.

"At that time, I had just defeated Rocks and was arrogant and thought myself powerful, even openly defying the orders of the Five Elders."

"On that day, I saw that mysterious figure. He only said two words, and he completely suppressed the assassin."

"Which two words?" Yakumo asked curiously.

"Kneel down, as if a god were issuing a command from the clouds, and the assassin, with both legs broken, knelt down behind that figure."

"On that day, the Five Elders summoned me for a talk."

Garp slowly closed his eyes, as if recalling the scene. Yakumo could feel the faint fear emanating from him, spreading outwards. Although it was a very subtle change in emotion, Yakumo still managed to catch it accurately.

Now the pressure is on Yakumo. He needs to figure out Im's abilities and even figure out how to defeat him.

Im's ability is similar to the power of words to become law.

"Is this ability a Devil Fruit?"

"I guess it's a Devil Fruit that's not listed in the Devil Fruit encyclopedia, but its power is incredibly terrifying," Garp replied.

"I understand."

Yakumo stood up and began to help Yukotsu Chiyuki clear the tableware. He might have been a little worried, but not too much. After all, even if things went badly, he could still retreat to the ninja world with his companions.

Currently, the progress of the Proof of the Overlord quest is close to 140%, and Yakumo is very satisfied with it.

While clearing away the dishes, Yakumo asked Yukotsu Chiyuki for her opinion and received an affirmative answer. Thus, this Buddha-shaped form had found its new owner.

That night, Yukotsu Chiyuki ate the fruit.

The following day, six revolutionary cadres arrived on the deserted island. There were four men and two women, with a huge age gap. The oldest was nearly sixty years old, while the youngest was only seventeen.

Yakumo could sense a precious spirit in them, as well as extremely tired bodies. Several of them were very familiar with Maki. After Yakumo took their blood, they took turns sparring with Maki.

Machi also proved the wonder of Yakumo's methods with her actions, and the final record was four wins and one loss, which gave everyone confidence in the upcoming experiments.

Yakumo began enhancing their recessive genes, intending to do the same for Machi and Shyvana as well.

Regarding Im and the Ancient Weapon Celestial Dragon, a secondary interpretation is needed.

Chapter 353 Proof of Hegemony: Gene Activation

Time flies, and three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Three days ago, the seeds that Yakumo created using Wood Release were transported to various parts of the world by transport ships, in an effort to infiltrate the Heavenly Gold and help Yakumo complete his own plan.

In the past few days, intelligence about the great battle has set the seas ablaze. Yakumo and his two companions defeated all the high-ranking officers of the Navy with their own strength, including Fleet Admiral Sengoku, Navy Hero Garp, and Admiral Green Bull.

As for the chief of the CP department, Kuangxi, he was born without a name...only a code name, and his death did not cause any ripples.

However, the fall of several naval personnel made everyone realize the terrifying combat power of the Thousand-Faced Demon Emperor, Yakumo.

That was absolutely the most invincible fighting force on the sea. Even the Beast Pirates, who originally wanted to avenge Jack, quietly withdrew their intelligence agents who were searching for Yakumo.

Following this incident, the World Government remained remarkably calm, neither raising the bounty on Yakumo nor issuing any further response.

But everyone knew perfectly well that this was just the calm before the storm, and the World Government was preparing an even more terrifying counterattack, which would be the moment when the two forces would be completely defeated.

Yakumo has become the uncrowned king of the sea, and it seems that he has obtained the prestigious position that many great pirates once dreamed of.

On the other hand, the World Economic Herald did not report Whitebeard's death, after all, there had been several false alarms in the past, and they had predicted many times that Whitebeard's life was coming to an end.

But not long after, Whitebeard became the brightest star on the sea again, making people believe that his era was not over yet.

After this incident came to an end, the prestige of the World Government suffered a further blow, and small-scale chaos inevitably broke out on the high seas.

The revolutionary army, which had previously been struggling to survive in the shadows, became active again, secretly instigating actions to overthrow the aristocracy across the world and in the New World.

Within a few days, several countries responded, but the navy was unable to immediately suppress them. In that battle, Aokiji and Fujitora were seriously injured, and only Kizaru was still able to fight.

However, he also seemed very lazy and could always find excuses to delay orders from above. Moreover, the Five Elders were well aware of the dire situation and dared not easily dismiss Kizaru from his position.

They needed a few people to stabilize the situation, especially since Aokiji and Fujitora couldn't show up. Iron-willed Kizaru became a hot commodity.

Of course, these things were not important to Yakumo. He was busy in the laboratory all day long and only occasionally took the time to practice Armament Haki in an open space.

The night before, Yakumo successfully completed his training in Armament Haki, reaching level five right from the start.

Yakumo once tested the strength of his Armament Haki, which was roughly equivalent to what an ordinary person could achieve after ten years of training.

His Armament Haki has not reached its limit; if he continues to train diligently, he can still improve it.

But that requires painstaking practice and repetition, and he easily mastered the technique of Armament Haki entangling within two days.

However, he has not mastered the highest level of flow and compression. Yakumo estimates that only by continuing to increase the intensity of Armament Haki can he possibly reach these two abilities.

In the past few days, Yakumo has intensified his training in Conqueror's Haki, and has reached a stage where he can rival Armament Haki.

Unfortunately, he could no longer improve through his own efforts, which felt very ominous. It was as if he had a treasure mountain, with an immense treasure hidden within its peaks, but he didn't have the key.

If Yakumo's soul were fully mobilized and transformed into Conqueror's Haki for a mental assault, it might even affect the mind of an Admiral-level fighter in an instant. Of course, this is not the most important point.

What he truly coveted was the terrifying power unleashed by the combination of Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki. It was precisely because of this technique that Garp possessed the ability to temporarily fight him one-on-one.

The fusion of the two abilities results in a power that is approximately five times greater, and the energy fusion technique can also be used to utilize other energies possessed by Yakumo.

If the Sage Chakra, Lightning Energy, and Life Energy within Yakumo's body could be fused together, the power that could be unleashed would be absolutely terrifying, and could even elevate Yakumo's offensive techniques to a new level.

The only one here who possesses this ability is Garp. But the old man's stance is very clear; he stubbornly adheres to the justice he believes belongs to a naval hero.

He's usually very open and honest in casual conversations, but when it comes to using various domineering techniques, he immediately shuts up like a cunning old fox.

Now, the only way to enhance the two types of domineering aura, or even to fuse them together, is to consume gold coins to forcibly break through one's own limits.

However, Yakumo hesitated greatly.

He now possesses numerous skills that allow him to accumulate wealth, such as the Soul-Soul Fruit, the Wood Release: Secret Technique, and the Flying Thunder God Technique, which he has only recently mastered.

Yakumo had to prioritize several skills, and while he was struggling with this decision, the game system quietly issued a mission.

Special Mission: Rogue

Mission description: Robin Hood-like behavior can be considered chivalrous.

Specific instructions: Over the next two months, plunder the celestial gold offered to the Celestial Dragons and distribute it to those who need this money to save their lives.

Task requirements: Rewards will be calculated based on the amount of money distributed.

Task Reward: A large amount of gold coins.

Bonus Rewards: Proof of Domination, Extra Progress.

[Note: The maximum progress threshold for obtaining the "Proof of the Overlord" in this task is 20%.]

When Yakumo saw the mission, he found the requirements somewhat vague. Although it emphasized that he had to plunder the heavenly gold, the mission progress was based on the amount of money he had given away.

Yakumo suddenly remembered the gold in his storage scroll. Logically speaking, it could also be used as a quest item, since the quest required distributing wealth rather than simply robbing.

That night, he made contact with the dragon and decided to exchange gold for Bailey, which would then be used to purchase various resources and transport them to impoverished areas in need of assistance, to test whether this would advance the mission.

Of course, the first time was just an experiment, and Yakumo only took out one-third of the gold from the storage scroll.

The triggering of this mission also pointed Yakumo in the right direction. Because there was no reward scroll for the Wood Release Manual, it could not be improved further.

In that case, Yakumo won't have many options left.

Soul-Soul Fruit, or Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki.

Yakumo guessed that the fusion of the two types of Haki could further increase his attack power, giving him more confidence when facing enemies.

On the other hand, Yakumo asked Ryu about Im, but the answer he received was also very vague.

Mary Geoise itself is a forbidden zone in the world, and the Flower Garden is the core of that forbidden zone.

The Revolutionary Army's intelligence department was unable to infiltrate the area, let alone obtain any information about Im. In fact, there was very little information about Im in the world.

The known information is that Im has lived for eight hundred years.

Their strength or the characteristics of their Devil Fruit abilities are completely unknown.

This provided Yakumo with a direction for analysis, after all, Im had lived for eight hundred years.

If he is a genius and has not given up cultivating for eight hundred years.

At the very least, his Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki should be at the pinnacle of the ocean, at a level that is completely unmatched, and his skill in fusing the two types of Haki should also be at an extremely high level.

Furthermore, it can be inferred from this that Im's Observation Haki is definitely at the level of being able to foresee the future.

Currently, Yakumo is certain that Im's ability to foresee the future is at least five seconds.

Such an outcome is indeed somewhat disheartening. This level of foresight is essentially enough to render Yakumo immune to his Flying Thunder God Technique, and even master-level swordsmanship would be greatly restrained.

Yakumo suddenly remembered that he was not completely ignorant of Im. Years ago, when he attacked Mary Geoise for the second time, he had set off a fire that almost completely destroyed Mary Geoise, but Im stopped him.

The wave spread, and the flames naturally extinguished.
