Konoha's Mission Master

This is the reason why Shanks broke his promise.

Because he also wanted to set his own rules.

"I plan to return to One Piece tomorrow," Yakumo said.

"So sudden?" Masako Mori was surprised by the speed of Yakumo's change.

"If the Celestial Dragons were merely assassinating high-ranking members of the Free Federation, it could be considered a clash and struggle between two systems. But they have massacred civilians and committed several bloody crimes, which is something I cannot tolerate."

After all, the population of the pirate world is related to the gold coins Yakumo receives each year. In order to prevent the situation from continuing to deteriorate, he must enter the game in advance, completely eliminate the Celestial Dragons, and incidentally deal with the Red-Haired Pirates.

This was a mistake made by Yakumo himself. If he had resolved these issues before leaving the pirate world, these problems would not have arisen.

He actually let the enemy go because he admired the redhead.

"We can't make the same mistakes again, and we can't be soft-hearted anymore."

Yakumo thought to himself, and quietly decided to go to the pirate world as soon as possible. Once he realized his mistakes, he should start to change them. For this, he needed to take immediate action.

Only then did he realize that the decision he made that morning was another mistake. He always makes mistakes, and he grows from them.

"It's settled then, we'll set off tomorrow and call Kakashi!"

"it is good!"

Masako Mori appeared very excited, after all, she had long been tired of the mundane life of the past few months.

"If we bring Chiyuki along, it seems that Itachi Uchiha won't be able to continue attending classes, and it will be left to his own devices again."

Yakumo suddenly felt a little sorry for his apprentice, who was not even five years old. In the five years since he became his apprentice, the total amount of lessons he had received was less than six months.

"I'll go to the Uchiha clan's territory first to teach Itachi a lesson, and then I'll leave tomorrow."

With a whoosh, Yakumo vanished from the secret base in a flash of golden light.

Chapter 425 Reappearance, A New Dungeon

The next morning.

Yakumo and the others are all ready to go.

After a slight hesitation, Yakumo and Mori Masako decided to bring along Milkball, the fat black and white cat, to prevent it from continuing to live a lonely and desolate life alone in the empty house.

Yesterday, Yakumo compiled his understanding of swordsmanship at the master level into a book, which is about two or three hundred pages long. It explains the concept and practical content of master-level swordsmanship from many aspects.

Yakumo gave the notebook to Itachi Uchiha.

Meanwhile, Yakumo spent five hours answering the many questions that had resurfaced in Itachi Uchiha's mind, and correcting all the mistakes Itachi had made.

Before leaving, he did his best to lay the foundation for Itachi Uchiha.

Furthermore... after hearing that the target was the pirate world, Shyvana chose to refuse to go. For her, the pirate world held many painful memories and past events she didn't want to face, so she preferred to avoid them altogether…

Escaping may be shameful, but it can be useful.

She decided to travel around the ninja world during the months that Yakumo was away.

Yakumo and Mori Masako discussed and decided to bring Aoyama Reiko along on this trip to the pirate world, mainly to let her get used to the feeling of traveling through different worlds.

Secret Base - Bottom Platform

The blood-red gate looked extremely eerie, and Yakumo inserted a key, which resembled a polished sapphire, into the groove of the gate.

Rotate it with a little force.

Azure light emanated from the key, spreading outwards like flowing liquid and gradually covering the entire door. Eventually, the space became chaotic, and the terrifying distance between the two worlds was linked by the blood-red door.

The blue passage is about three meters long, with fine blue ripples rising from its surface, like liquid being dripped into still water. The ripples spread and eventually bounce off the blood-red door frame, spreading out again in another direction. The back-and-forth ripples form a blue net.

Masako Mori pushed the dazed Kakashi through the door, then, holding the baby ball in her arms and pulling the equally surprised Reiko Aoyama by the hand, quickly crossed the blue boundary.

Next up were the experienced Chiyuki Yukotsu and Yakumo.

Space shifts.

With a soft whoosh, the blue ripples vanished instantly.

One Piece World: East Blue

Ten thousand meters above the sky, there were only a few scattered clouds, the air temperature was around thirty-eight degrees Celsius, and the bright sun continued to radiate intense heat.

A few seconds later, it was as if the sky had cracked open, and Yakumo and the others squeezed out of the crack and fell into the sea in free fall.

As Yakumo regained consciousness, although his head was still spinning like a blender, he instinctively threw out vines to bind the waists of the group, while simultaneously creating a cage to envelop the Milk Ball... using his flight ability to offset the impact of the fall.

An endless sea, seagulls occasionally skimming across the surface, and air that is slightly salty and humid; lush forests grow on distant islands.

As expected, it was an extremely familiar start, still a free fall.

A few seconds later, Yuuki Chiyuki and Mori Masako regained consciousness, gagging repeatedly in mid-air, their faces unnaturally pale.

Although they had experienced many spatial transfers, the feeling of each transfer was unforgettable for them.

Masako Mori even wanted to travel back in time and beat up the version of herself who ate fifteen steamed buns that morning, as the feeling of food rising in her stomach was extremely uncomfortable.

Another ten seconds or so passed, and Aoyama Reiko regained consciousness. Seeing that she was now high in the sky, she almost instinctively used the power of the Sky Emperor's Ring to manipulate the surrounding airflow and gain the ability to fly.

Seeing that Aoyama Reiko had regained her balance, Yakumo took the initiative to remove the blood-red vines tied around her waist.

Of course, the power of the Ring of the Sky Emperor is not limited to this. Masako Mori manipulated the surrounding airflow to form a very solid platform under their feet, lifting their bodies and flying towards the distant island.

Within a few days, she had already mastered the basic usage of the Ring of the Sky Emperor, not only in terms of combat.

The Ring of the Sky Emperor is also extremely powerful in terms of support capabilities; it can even... grant a group of people the ability to fly when necessary.

Of course, doing that would consume a lot of Aoyama Reiko's mental energy, making it impossible to use for a long time.

A few minutes later, the group stepped onto a nearby island. Kakashi, who had no experience of flying, felt a special sense of security as he stood on solid ground again.

Is this another world?

"That's right, congratulations to Kakashi on leaving the ninja world."

Masako Mori replied with a smile. Returning to the world of One Piece had put her in a great mood, and she felt much freer in this world.

Yakumo took out a sea map of the One Piece world from a storage scroll and, with Mori Masako's help, laid the map flat on the ground, along with several permanent pointers.

The final determination is based on the directions of the four pointers...

They are currently in the East China Sea.

Is the East China Sea essentially the starting point?

Last time it was the East Blue, and this time it's the East Blue again. Yakumo doesn't think this is just a coincidence. The greater probability is that... the East Blue is similar to a voice-over point in the game.

"This world feels different from the ninja world."

Kakashi stood on the edge of the island, gazing at the boundless sea, his heart filled with awe. Yesterday... when Yakumo told him that the place they were adventuring in was another world, his first reaction was doubt.

But now the facts are right in front of him.

"This island is a very ordinary desert island. We'll rest for a while and then set off for the Red Line... the City of Freedom."

After the Revolutionary Army was renamed the Free Federation, the holy land of Mary Geoise, built by the Celestial Dragons, was renamed the City of Freedom.

Yakumo's goal in going to the pirate world is to correct the mistakes, and he doesn't intend to waste any time before doing so.

Since the Red-Haired Pirates have decided to break their promise, Yakumo will do as Masako Mori said and completely eliminate the root of the world's chaos.

“Okay.” Masako Mori nodded.

While resting and recovering from the stress of the spatial transfer, Masako Mori began to explain the world of One Piece to everyone, starting from two years ago... and eventually mentioning how the Revolutionary Army brought a completely new system to the world.

Reiko Aoyama's performance was very calm from beginning to end, with a faint smile always on her lips. Although her clothes were understated, they gave her a unique kind of gentleness when paired with her beautiful face.

She is like a silent, surging undercurrent, containing turbulent waves.

On the surface, she remained calm and composed. Masako Mori had to admit that Reiko Aoyama was a formidable rival. She seemed indifferent to worldly affairs, but she subtly spread her influence.

Kakashi's gaze shifted from indifference to fervor, eventually culminating in an uncontrollable surge of fighting spirit within him.

Of course, he wasn't interested in the world's structure and system; what truly excited him was the swordsmanship of the One Piece world, and the great swordsmen who stood at the pinnacle of swordsmanship.

"Let's go, I can't wait to challenge the great swordsman!"

"No rush, there's plenty of time."

Masako Mori shook her head and continued.

"Our current plan is to go to the Free Federation to find out the location of the Red-Haired Pirates, and then search the world for the Celestial Dragons."

"No problem, as long as we can fight, that's fine."

Kakashi's eyes still burned with fighting spirit.

The constant pressure of being defeated by Yuuki Chiyuki over the years, combined with the guidance of Hatake Sakumo, ultimately made Kakashi an extremely pure swordsman, to the point of obsession with swordsmanship.

"Then let's prepare to... depart."

Yakumo walked to the beach at the edge of the island, and the streamlined dark green flying boat reappeared with his hands clasped together. Due to the increased number of people, he specially increased the volume of the cabin and added space for three more seats.

A few seconds later, the group entered the airship through the side door. The wooden vines spread and grew, gradually covering the side door and transforming it into the walls of the airship.

On the lower level of the airship, the core power source remains the shadow clone.

"Set off."

As Yakumo spoke, the shadow clone lifted the airship, continuously increasing its height. At the same time, the surrounding airflow also helped the airship move, allowing it to continuously increase its speed.

The ability gained from defeating Yasuo made it much easier for Yakumo to control the flying boat, reducing energy consumption by about 40%, while the flight speed increased significantly.

"It will take about three hours to reach the target area. You can rest for a while first."

Yakumo took out the nautical chart, did some quick calculations, and estimated a time limit.

"Yakumo, actually I can also increase the speed of the airship. Why don't you rest for a bit... and I'll accelerate it?"

Yakumo's manipulation of the surrounding airflow could not be hidden from Aoyama Reiko, who possessed the Air-Air Fruit and the Ring of the Sky Emperor. At this moment, she smiled and offered her suggestion, but what she was actually expressing was her concern for Yakumo.

It nourishes things silently...

Mori Masako's eyes flashed with wariness, but she quickly concealed it. After all, her exclusive weapon... was not good at assisting flight, so she could only stroke the soft fur of the milk ball with both hands.
