Konoha's Mission Master

"clear."

"I plan to pause your activation for a while after it reaches 65%, and then reactivate it when we meet again."

"it is good."

Shyvana immediately agreed. In fact, she could also feel that her speed of overcoming her willpower had slowed down a lot, and she often felt mentally exhausted.

"Try to spar with Qianxue more often when you have time."

"Fighting can speed up the digestion of Devil Fruits."

Shyvana nodded slightly, and being a woman of action, she immediately got up to say goodbye and left the laboratory.

After a brief hesitation, Yakumo vanished in a flash of golden light.

Currently, the activation rate of Yuuki Chiyuki's Devil Fruit has reached 45%, and it is estimated that the activation rate will reach 50% within the next three days.

Yet he never felt pressure. After each upgrade, he could quickly transform the upgrade into his own combat power. Death energy could even appear in his body to strangle the will of the Mythical Beast Fruit.

Three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

The remaining cadres of the revolutionary army all reached their limit and left on a transport ship, leaving the once bustling deserted island quiet and somewhat empty again.

Currently, everyone's strength has shown a significant improvement.

Mori Masako's fruit activation progress: 5%.

Shyvana Fruit activation progress: 65%.

The activation progress of the "Sorrowful Bone Snow Fruit" is 50%.

With a flash of golden light, Yakumo disappeared with Yukotsu Chiyuki. Today, Chiyuki will continue to increase the fruit's activation level.

On a wooden platform a few kilometers away from the deserted island, Yakumo injected the reagent into Yukotsu Chiyuki's body and immediately retreated.

The deathly aura and the Buddha's light clashed with each other.

The two completely different wills collided and canceled each other out. Yakumo carefully observed the battle between the two wills, trying not to miss any details.

This is one of the few opportunities to observe the increase in the activation level of the Mythical Beast species. The improvement that Yukotsu Chiyuki has gained during this period proves that Yakumo's guess was accurate.

His fruit can enhance intelligence and physique, specifically manifesting as a berserk state where he can retain more rationality.

However, it does not involve energy systems.

Masako Kamori's fruit, however, involves an energy system.

There is a significant difference between the two. According to Yakumo's observation, the deathly aura has destroyed the golden Buddha light. In addition, the golden light spots are merging at the levels of flesh and spirit, undergoing a transformation.

Yakumo withdrew his Eye of Soul, awaiting the final transformation.

Currently, You Gu Qianxue's physical and intelligence attributes have both exceeded sixty, placing her in the strongest tier among generals, and even approaching the threshold of sixty-five points of royal-level combat power.

"How did you feel this time? Were you under pressure?"

Yakumo stepped forward and asked Yukotsu Chiyuki a few questions.

"My physical condition has improved a lot this time, and I feel no pressure."

You Gu Qianxue slowly stood up and stretched her limbs, making a crisp cracking sound as her bones popped, and a faint golden light flowed across her skin.

That's what you call exceptional talent.

In less than ten days, Yougu Qianxue gained a 50% increase in activation level.

Most importantly, he didn't feel any pressure at all.

For him, there might not be any hurdles before reaching 100% activation. He just needs to improve step by step to achieve a leap in strength.

"The energy of death can amplify the strength of will, and can even harm the will of other species. The potential of this energy should be very high."

Yakumo saw it clearly: Chiyuki's victory was not only due to her strong will, but also largely due to the help of the Death Aura.

"That's right, but unfortunately the evolution of the Nile's Sorrow is very demanding."

You Gu Qianxue sighed. After absorbing the crystal of pure death energy last time, the evolution of this inherited weapon was improved, but it has since slowed down.

Despite repeated killings, the increase was only three percent.

There will be opportunities in the future.

Devouring death, or transforming life into death for absorption.

This is the path of the Nile's rising sorrow.

Yukotsu Chiyuki nodded slightly, and Yakumo reached out and grabbed his shoulder.

With a flash of golden light, the two returned to the deserted island.

Everyone had gathered at the table and were about to start eating dinner. Today's meal was prepared by shadow clones of Yakumo and Yukotsu Chiyuki.

A barbecue feast with a fruit salad.

After the two returned, everyone began to eat.

"A few of us will leave the deserted island tonight."

"How long will you be gone? On a mission?" Maggie asked.

"That's right, we're out on a mission."

"Okay, I see."

Maggie nodded, instantly understanding Yakumo's implication.

"Although I have set up many backup plans within Garp, I am not sure that I have completely restrained him."

Within Garp's body, there was a strange and domineering will that Yakumo could not comprehend. The extent of its power was unknown.

"Hey, hey, hey, is it really okay to say something like this in front of me?"

Garp casually wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth, glared at Yakumo, and grumbled somewhat discontentedly.

“How could it be bad?” Yakumo retorted.

"Humph!"

Garp snorted coldly, stood up, and chose to leave.

“Machi, if he really wants to leave, there’s no need to risk your life to stop him.”

Although Garp is still seriously injured, if he were to risk his life, he might be able to unleash a fighting power comparable to that of an Emperor for a short period of time, a level that Machi cannot contend with.

"I know, my job is only to keep watch, not to fight to the death."

"That's good."

Actually, this is just a choice.

If Garp stays on this deserted island obediently, whatever happens in the future will not affect him at all.

With the revolutionary army victorious, he could live out his old age in peace.

Even after the revolutionary army failed, he remained a naval hero.

This is the way to avoid risks, and it's also the safest approach. You can sit back and relax without taking any risks.

However, if he leaves the island on his own initiative, he will become involved in the conflict between the World Government and the Revolutionary Army, and may even become the sharpest spear. At that time, he may be killed for the greater good, or he may kill his own family members for the greater good.

"Lord Garp, what will he choose?"

Machi rested her elbows on her knees, propped her cheeks with her hands, and stared intently at Garp's departing figure.

“He will leave.” Yakumo said with absolute certainty.

"This is not a good decision."

Maggie's tone was somewhat doubtful, and she instinctively wanted to refute.

"I could feel his determination; it was so resolute."

Yakumo stood up and took out the sleeping Den Den Mushi from his pocket.

"Pop, pop."

Not long after, Long answered the phone.

"Good evening, Brother Yakumo."

"good evening."

Ryu first expressed his gratitude, and after a brief exchange of pleasantries, Yakumo took the initiative to mention the purpose of this contact.

"According to the plan, I will be leaving the base today. I have just told Garp that I will be leaving."

"And his reaction?"

Long's usually calm tone became noticeably flustered.

Why do you need to ask me?

"You should know him better than I do what kind of person he is."

Yakumo's tone was somewhat downcast. He could almost foresee Garp's future fate, which would inevitably be a tragic one.

After a long silence, Long finally spoke.

"Dying peacefully in one's sleep is probably not suitable for people like us."

"There's nothing I can do to change this."

Yakumo was also very conflicted. Garp had a negative sin value, making him a very rare strongman in the pirate world.

Ultimately, however, they have different stances.

Long fell silent for a moment, his tone tinged with sorrow.

Our current fighting strength is slightly inferior to that of the World Government. Vice Admiral Garp's recovery could very well tip the scales of victory.

What are you planning to do?

Yakumo asked with some interest.

"I plan to head to the East China Sea."

Yakumo was surprised by Ryu's inner resolve. He said that what Ryu meant was that he wanted to personally see Garp off.

Father and son kill each other...
