Konoha's Mission Master

Masako Mori looked at the equipment that had been thrown into the sea with some confusion.

Kaido was also a powerful figure from the previous era, living in the same era as Big Mom, Fleet Admiral Sengoku, Garp, Roger, and Whitebeard.

His death... was what marked the end of the old era.

During the extraction of the Devil Fruit, Yukotsu Chiyuki put away the sorrow of the Nile River, and the battle allowed the weapon to absorb 30% of its evolution.

Currently, the Nile's Sorrow has an evolution level of 47.8%.

If another enemy with the same vitality as Kaido were to appear, Yukotsu Chiyuki would probably be able to complete the evolution of Nile Sorrow.

Mori Masako kept watch over the distant sea while taking out a healing orb, activating it to heal her own injuries.

[Hint: Congratulations on completing the quest "Slaying the Four Emperors".]

Congratulations to the player for winning 25000 gold coins.

[Commentary: The end of a long era also marks the beginning of change.]

Currently, there are 65458 Yakumo gold coins.

The sun was shining brightly in the sky. Yakumo turned his attention to his game interface and opened the dungeon section.

There exists a copy that shimmers with golden light.

[Special Dungeon: One-Punch Man - Modified]

『Instance Type: Large-Scale Instance - Hunting Instance』

『Instance Description: All living beings in this world possess limiters. Only in very rare cases can these limiters be broken through mutation, but even then, it only results in the creation of a new limiter.』

"The mutated ones are labeled as monsters."

'Wolf, tiger, ghost, dragon, god.'

『Instance Quest: Hunt the Monster, with a chance to obtain attribute points.』

『Duration period: Two months.』

Note: To prevent players from manipulating scores, players cannot use native inhabitants to gain mission progress in this instance, nor can they gain mission progress through large-scale explosive weapons.

Note: This instance contains a slight risk.

This dungeon allows you to directly obtain attribute points, which is enough to prove its special nature. What's most surprising is that this dungeon only has a time limit, but does not limit the number of attribute points you can obtain.

If I could gain twenty attribute points within two months, wouldn't that be like taking off instantly? At that point... defeating Im would be a piece of cake.

As Yakumo continued to envision a bright future, Blackbeard had already integrated the three Devil Fruits into the prepared fruit, which Mori Masako then stored in a scroll at her waist.

The crimson tree roots rolled and twisted, forming a coffin-like shape, carrying Kaido's body into the depths of the sea, where he was completely buried.

"Dust to dust, ashes to ashes."

"Goodbye... Kaido."

The crimson island on the sea surface gradually shrank in size, and the life force continuously returned to Yakumo's body... gradually filling his entire body.

Masako Mori came to Yakumo's side and watched the distant sea with him. A warship was approaching at a very fast speed from that direction, and Yakumo sensed the presence of Aokiji, Kizaru, and Fujitora on board.

Where do we go next?

"Those were... three good people."

Yakumo clenched his fist slightly. The sin values ​​of the three of them were all negative, which meant that they had indeed done a lot of good for this world, or killed many pirates, or protected the peace of a region.

These three people... are not part of Yakumo's mission objectives.

"Master, should we kill them?"

"This is a good opportunity."

Yukotsuki also walked to Yakumo's side. He also saw the dark green warship in the distance, and his eyes were filled with pure killing intent.

In his view, people in this world can be roughly divided into two types: those who need protection, and those who can be killed…

Although the high-ranking officers of the Navy are all kind-hearted, in Yukotsu Chiyuki's eyes... they are the kind of people who can be killed.

Let's just let it go this time.

"As ordered."

Yakumo waved his hand, and the dark green flying boat regrouped on the blood-red deserted island, quietly docking beside Yakumo.

The group climbed onto the deck one after another, squeezed through the wooden door into the cramped cabin, and rested against the wall.

The shadow clone located at the core of the flying boat began to rise upwards, propelling the entire dark green flying boat into the sky.

Not long after, the warships arrived at the battlefield.

Standing on the deck of the warship, Aokiji felt somewhat helpless. As the Fleet Admiral, he should be stationed at the Navy Headquarters to maintain security, but due to a shortage of manpower, he had no choice but to take matters into his own hands.

As everyone gazed at the completely destroyed three-masted ship, they could more or less guess Kaido's fate. The once mighty tyrant who roamed the seas had ultimately perished at sea…

"We must be too late."

Kizaru scratched the stubble on his chin and spoke lazily.

"That's a fact..."

"This level of slash reminds me of Iori Yakumo."

Fujitora sensed the countless vibrations from the slashing attacks, fiddled with the staff-sword in his hand, and his tone became very serious.

"Yes, it must be him."

Kizaru had also faced Yakumo's blade. Although this space had returned to calm, it still contained a kind of bone-chilling coldness.

"Big Mom, Kaido, Fleet Admiral Sengoku, Vice Admiral Garp..."

Aokiji silently recited the names of those who once stood at the pinnacle of the sea, but they had all died within four years. In other words... Ichigo Yakumo had personally buried all the top powerhouses of the old era.

What exactly does he want?

"Who knows..." Kizaru replied nonchalantly.

"Report this news back to headquarters as soon as possible."

A few seconds later, Aokiji gave the order.

"As ordered."

The liaison officer who had accompanied the warship immediately returned to the cabin.

Everyone could foresee that in the next few days, Kaido's death would ignite the entire sea, and the name of the Thousand-Faced Demon Emperor, Yakumo, would once again reach the pinnacle of the sea.

This was also the second Great Sea Emperor that Jing Yayun had killed.

Of the Four Emperors who originally ruled the New World, only Shanks remains alive. Perhaps... he will be Yakumo's next target.

Aokiji must admit that even today he still doesn't understand Inoue Yakumo's true goal, what his principles are, or what his weaknesses are.

He has been frequently involved with the Revolutionary Army lately, so his goal might be to overthrow the Celestial Dragons' rule and reshape the world order.

Once this idea appeared, it took root in Aokiji's heart like a seed sprouting and could never be easily erased.

He even felt that this was Inoue's ultimate goal.

"A new world of equality and freedom?"

Although Aokiji had this goal in mind, he did not tell anyone about it, but kept it buried deep in his heart.

That kind of world... might really be wonderful.

In fact, the Navy personnel were unaware that Yakumo and his two companions had not left the combat zone, but were instead quietly hovering tens of thousands of meters in the air.

Inside the cabin, Yukotsu Chiyuki and Mori Masako were adjusting their state, while Yakumo was repeatedly reading the clues on the dungeon interface. Although he had drawn this dungeon, he remained wary.

The last golden dungeon was Demon Slayer. It was originally supposed to be an open-world exploration dungeon, but it suddenly changed and became a faction-based combat dungeon, and the energy system within him was suppressed.

In the end, he used the sword in his hand to pierce through Demon Slayer.

What Yakumo is most worried about is... that this dungeon might also encounter some unusual problems, and if he gets into a dangerous situation, he might regret it for the rest of his life.

However, working together to protect each other is a good trump card.

This makes it even harder to guarantee Yougu Qianxue's safety, and his fighting style is the straightforward type, making him vulnerable to losing his life if the enemy is too strong.

After all, in the world of One-Punch Man, the power system is absolutely at the level of breaking through the dimensional barrier. The entire Earth might not be able to withstand Saitama's serious punch, and there really are gods in that world!

It is not a myth or legend, but a god with extremely powerful strength who can ignore concepts such as space and time, and can even grant other creatures cosmic-level combat power.

In short, there was more worry than surprise.

Yakumo was not entirely unprepared for the upcoming explorations, for example, with a highly potent poison that has a strong dissolving effect on genetic tissue, and a healing orb that can quickly repair damage.

The current stockpile of Healing Orbs is approximately 140.

This instance will last for two months.

The goal is to gain as many attribute points as possible and raise one's attributes to a level that can defeat Im. The first step is to raise the agility and strength attributes to the target level.

Several hours later, both of their injuries were fully healed, their spirits returned to their peak, and their internal energy became abundant.

Everything is ready.

Yakumo continued to increase the flight altitude, reaching an altitude close to the void of space in the atmosphere, which is almost a forbidden zone for humans. At this altitude, there was no need to worry about anyone eavesdropping on the following conversation.

The soul energy swept over them repeatedly, confirming that none of the people were carrying any listening devices.

"Next, we will travel to another world where there are special life forms called monsters. Hunting those monsters will give us a chance to improve our physical attributes."

"I see. We need to travel to other worlds, which is why we need to avoid Shyvana and the dragons."

Masako Mori nodded, which reasonably explained why Yakumo abandoned Shyvana and threw the positioning device into the sea.

After all, that device wasn't entirely safe, and the Revolutionary Army could potentially use some means to pinpoint Yakumo's location using the locator.

"Is that world dangerous?" Yukotsu asked.

“It’s dangerous, so once we arrive in that world, we must explore carefully and hunt down those strange beings,” Yakumo replied.

"Understood." You Gu Qianxue nodded.

“Most importantly, that world is very different from the world we live in, and we need to gradually adapt to it for a while at first,” Yakumo continued.

"A world with different styles?!"

Masako Mori was delighted and couldn't help but laugh.
