Konoha: I am Uzumaki Naruto, my comprehension is against the sky

Usopp and Tasha followed Naruto back to the market, their hearts filled with vigilance.

They looked around but found no sign of the mysterious naval captain.

Just as the three of them were beginning to get anxious, Zoro's attention was caught by a prominent poster.

He walked straight over and carefully read the competition announcement that read "Chasing the Grand Line Phase 2."

"Naruto, look at this!"

Zoro shouted excitedly.

Naruto and Usopp walked over to him and looked at the poster together.

The poster features a huge ship and a flying flag with the symbol of the King of Wind drawn on it.

"This is our chance!"

Naruto said happily.

Chapter 297: Plan to Escape the Navy's Pursuit

"We can participate in the competition and use it to sneak into the doldrums and completely escape the navy's pursuit."

Usopp smiled wryly and shook his head.

"Naruto, you know what? Dawn Island is located on the edge of the New World. It's an extremely dangerous and semi-deserted place. If we are discovered, we really won't be able to survive."

"Usopp is right. If we are discovered by the powerful people in the New World, we will be doomed."

Tasha reminded.

Naruto faced a crowd of questioning looks, and after pondering for a moment, he finally made a decision.

"Don't worry, everyone. We have more difficulties to face than these. Besides, only through this competition can we escape the navy's pursuit in the doldrums. No matter how dangerous it is, I'm willing to take the risk!"

Usopp and Tasha were shocked when they saw Naruto's firm and confident eyes.

They knew they couldn't change Naruto's decision.

"In that case, let's give it a try!"

Usopp accepted Naruto's arrangement.

Tasha followed closely behind.

"That's right! Let's go to Dawn Island together."

So the four of them hurriedly left the market and returned to the boat.

They began to carefully plan how to use the doldrums as bait to escape the navy's pursuit.

A few days later, in the vast ocean, they finally arrived at Dawn Island.

The island is located on the edge of the New World, with a desolate landscape shrouded by dark clouds.

Naruto looked out into the distance, he could feel the unique atmosphere of this area.

In the doldrums, there is not a breath of wind and no living creatures exist.

This quiet and terrifying environment is a huge test for the members of the large fleet.

As night falls, Dawn Island becomes even more eerie.

There was only silence and darkness all around, without a sound or life at all.

Tasha and Usopp looked eagerly at the Mirrorwater Castle above the sea, which was their destination.

The two are engaged in a secret deal, hoping to purchase a rare treasure map at a reasonable price.

The local representative, Lawrence, walked towards Tasha and Usopp, and the three of them stared at each other.

Roland is a tall, serious-looking middle-aged man holding a treasure map in his hand, which is exactly what Tasha and Usopp want.

"Are you sure you can give me a satisfactory price?"

Lawrence asked, his eyes revealing anticipation and nervousness.

"Of course! We'll give you a price you'll absolutely be satisfied with!"

Tasha took the opportunity to reply.

Usopp nodded slightly in agreement.

He knew very well how important this transaction was to the fleet. It not only affected the fleet's future development on the sea, but also affected whether everyone could successfully move towards the next goal.

As the negotiations progressed for a period of time, the two sides reached a consensus and were preparing for the final handover.

At this moment, a naval team suddenly appeared around the castle.

Everyone was shocked and tense.

"Why did they appear suddenly?"

Usopp cursed under his breath.

Tasha held onto Usopp's hand tightly as they confirmed to each other that this deal was very important and that they had to ensure accurate delivery.

What these two do next may determine everything.

The navy troops surrounded the castle, and the atmosphere became tense and depressing.

The two sides looked at each other and a confrontation was formed.

"We must not let them interrupt our transaction!"

⑧!⑧&④① Tasha made up her mind, "Usopp, you come to interfere with them, and I will complete the deal." Usopp nodded and understood Tasha's plan.

He quickly took out a smoke bomb from his backpack and detonated it.

The smoke filled the area around the castle, providing Tasha with ample cover.

Usopp, unafraid of fighting, immediately rushed towards the navy.

He used his relentless and precise sniping skills to continuously knock down enemies, buying precious time for Tasha.

Usopp's smoke bomb exploded in the air, quickly enveloping the entire castle in thick fog.

Usopp seized the opportunity and bravely rushed towards the navy team. With his accurate marksmanship and agile skills, one enemy after another fell at his feet.

Tasha behind him tensed up and stared eagerly at the treasure map in Roland's hand.

She knew that any carelessness or delay could lead to the failure of the deal.

Just as Tasha was about to take the map quickly, the heavy door at the castle entrance was knocked open and an elite naval force rushed into the castle.

They cooperated well and launched a fierce attack on Tasha.

Tasha had to give up the idea of ​​finding the map and pulled out the last weapon in her hand to fight the enemy fiercely.

She used swift and agile movements to dodge the enemy's relentless attacks and fought back fiercely.

At this moment, in a secret room in the castle.

Naruto was meeting with the Shadow Queen and some allies.

The Shadow Queen is a woman with extraordinary magical talents. She usually hides in the darkness and rarely appears.

"Naruto, the news you bring is important."

The Shadow Queen sat on the throne in the darkness. "The situation at sea has been getting increasingly tense recently. We need a wider alliance to withstand the enemy's pressure."

Naruto nodded solemnly and told the Shadow Queen and the allies present about the recent series of events and the difficulties the fleet had encountered.

He described in detail the dangerous situation that Usopp and Tasha were in at the moment.

The Shadow Queen pondered for a moment and said, "Fighting alone is no longer enough. We need to build a broader and more powerful alliance to fight against those forces. This requires time and planning."

The allies all showed expressions of agreement, and they all expressed their willingness to provide assistance and participate in the action of building an alliance.

The Shadow Queen continued to ponder her next plan. "We also need to find a way to make the fleets understand the benefits of forming an alliance with us."

"Perhaps we can send messengers to the various fleets to pass news and advice between them."

An ally offered his opinion.

The Shadow Queen nodded in approval. "Yes, that's a good idea. We will send some reliable and loyal individuals to negotiate and communicate with those fleets, and ultimately reach an alliance."

Naruto understood that this move to build a wider alliance was crucial.

He looked deeply at the Shadow Queen, his heart filled with determination.

"I will do my best to help you realize this plan."

Naruto solemnly promised the Shadow Queen.

The Shadow Queen smiled slightly and looked at Naruto with gratitude.

"Thank you, Naruto, you are our hope."

Amidst the sounds of fighting from different directions, the Shadow Queen and her allies began to discuss their plans in detail and formulate specific arrangements for the next step.

Chapter 298 The Greedy Port Merchants

Naruto returned to the ship and told Luffy and Zoro about the Shadow Queen's plan with full of fighting spirit.

After hearing this, Luffy and Zoro expressed their support and willingness to help.

The next day, their ship docked at Dawn Town, a tiny island of extreme poverty.

The local residents lived under the brutal rule of the rulers, unable to support themselves and were forced to do hard labor every day to support the greedy port merchants.

Luffy and Zoro brought Naruto to a tree-lined alley.

Residents were discussing the rulers' latest exploitative actions, their fists clenched and their eyes flashing with anger.

Seeing this, a fire ignited in Naruto's heart.

He walked towards them and said in a firm and righteous voice: "We are here to liberate you!"

The residents looked up in surprise at the three young men standing before them.

One of the women asked tremblingly, "Are you really willing to help us?"

Luffy smiled and replied, "Of course! We are the Pirates, partners of justice! We pursue freedom and justice, and will not tolerate any oppression of the weak."

Zoro gripped the hilt of his sword and added, "We will fight for you to the end and make those villains pay!"

After hearing their determination and courage, the residents were silent for a moment and then nodded in agreement.

So, Luffy, Zoro and Naruto immediately started making plans.

Together they found the leader of Dawn Town, an old man.

The old man had lost hope after years of rule, but in the courageous gazes of the three men, he felt a spark of hope again.

Luffy asked: "Old man, can we get a chance to defeat the ruler of Dawn Island?"

The old man thought for a moment and replied, "There is a hidden location on Dawn Island, which is said to be a huge weapons depot. If we can capture it and obtain the weapons and equipment, we may have a chance to overthrow the ruler."

After hearing this, Naruto immediately said: "Then let's go to Dawn Island! No matter how much it costs, we can't let those villains continue to hurt you."

Zoro raised his arms and shouted: "We will use our swords and passion to open the gates of justice for you!"

When the residents saw the determination and courage of these three people, expressions of anticipation and gratitude appeared on their faces.

Naruto looked at the mysterious army surging towards him, his heart filled with determination and anger.

He patted Luffy and Zoro on the shoulders and said unwaveringly: "We can't let these villains hurt more people! Straw Hat Grand Fleet, prepare for battle!"

The members of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet immediately geared up to meet the challenge.

Yinying adjusted her strings and said with a determined look, "I will use music to open the door to victory for us!"

Franky adjusted his machine and said with a wide grin, "There's nothing that can't be repaired! We will definitely win!"

Usopp grabbed the slingshot in his hand, his eyes flashing with courage: "I'm ready! If anyone approaches Dawn Island, I will shoot them to pieces!"

Robin gracefully adjusted the power of the Pastel Devil Fruit in her hand, raised her enormous arm and said, "Let us protect this land together!"

Led by Naruto, the Straw Hat Grand Fleet rushed towards the mysterious force without fear.

The battle was about to break out, with flames and swords clashing, and the sound of fierce fighting rang out on Dawn Island.
