Onoki: "It's alright. I'm sure by the time we go back in two years, the Land of Rain will have developed beyond recognition. After all, Konoha is cooperating with you to develop the mechanized industry, and factories have been set up. Development will definitely be very fast."

He was aware of Konoha's cooperation plans with the Land of Rain, but the cooperation between Iwagakure and Konoha was not as good as that between Konoha and the Land of Rain, mainly because the Land of Earth lacked value.

The Land of Lightning possesses a variety of scientific research technologies.

The Land of Rain has some mineral resources and an inexhaustible supply of rainwater. It can divert the rainwater to the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind to build large-scale river channels, gradually softening the originally large areas of arid soil and desert areas.

The Land of Water possesses abundant marine resources and advantageous locations with islands, making it ideal for tourism. Furthermore, the current tax reductions in the Land of Water make it a suitable place for commercial activities such as trading and buying.

Needless to say, the Land of Fire has virtually everything it needs.

Therefore, Onoki's tone at this moment still carried a hint of jealousy.

After all, the Rain Country can guide rainwater to other countries, which can greatly alleviate the rain country's humid geographical environment, and can also use this 'resource' to obtain more funds and materials for development.

Is the Land of Earth suitable?

Can we exchange it for soil and stones?

That's definitely not going to work; simply owning mineral resources will only make you a "cake".

"Grandpa, you're joking. The cooperation between your Land of Earth and the various villages isn't... too bad, is it?" Konan smiled awkwardly.

Who would have thought that the Explosion Release ninjas, once famous in the ninja world, would now become a well-known demolition team, with an extremely fast demolition speed? The Iwagakure ninjas specialize in developing civil engineering projects.

"Hehe." Onoki chuckled nonchalantly, stroking his beard. "The moment there are enough houses, the Land of Earth and even the Land of Earth's ninjas will lack a stage to stand on in the ninja world."

The idea came from Huang Tu, and Onoki did not object.

But Onoki thought about the future.

When that time comes, the Land of Earth will again be hampered by the lack of necessary supplies and resources, and with other countries ignoring it, it will be forced to declare war.

Grandpa Onoki didn't say this, but he really couldn't think of any other way to break the deadlock.

Black Earth and Samui did not interrupt the two, but simply asked the priests here to bring some food.

After playing for several hours, I was starving.

The priests dared not resist and brought out fresh fruits and vegetables and food, along with beautiful maids to serve the four of them.

......

"My God... the Shandians... the Angels... all... all of them have been defeated." Gan Fall stared in shock at the group of members who had lost their fighting ability in the woods.

Whether they were angels, Shandians, or even their leaders, they all lay on the ground, their bodies reeking of the burnt smell caused by lightning.

It appears that he was defeated by Enel.

"Damn... Damn..."

"This person is still alive?" Kakashi couldn't help but remark as he watched Wapa, who was almost charred, slowly rise from the ground.

“You are…it’s you! Former God Gan Fall!” Wapa exclaimed in shock.

The other Shandian warriors fared slightly better than Wapa; Rachi, who once had smooth white skin, now had pitch-black skin and exhaled a thick cloud of smoke.

Samui defeated everyone present by himself. Wapa originally intended to attack Samui with Seastone, but was almost blasted into a charred corpse by Samui's unleashed Devil Fruit Awakening.

Unfortunately, it was thick-skinned and tough, so it didn't die.

They didn't kill the priests or Shandian warriors here either.

After all, the main god was petrified. If no one could break the petrification or if Enel's petrification was shattered, Enel would die.

The petrified Enel was also thrown onto the altar, and the four of them didn't even glance at him.

Then they encountered a battle between the priests and the Shandian warriors, and saw that everyone's target of attack had changed from the other side to the four of them.

Samui then took action and defeated the priests and Shandian warriors.

Secondly, they don't want to meddle in other people's family affairs. If you want to fight or kill, that's your business. They're just here to find someone and take a look at this other world, not to rule some random country.

Therefore, apart from Wapa, who resisted the most fiercely, the injuries of the others were not too serious.

But if it were an ordinary ninja, they would already be seriously injured and on the verge of death.

Click.

The branch snapped, and Kakashi looked sharply in that direction. "Who is it?!"

"No, no, no... don't kill me." Aisha's eyes were filled with tears as she leaned against a large tree, almost wetting herself from Kakashi's voice.

Upon seeing that it was a child, Kakashi's lips twitched. At the same time, he noticed that Aisha's skin was similar to that of the Shandian warriors and couldn't help but ask, "You...you bring children along when you fight?"

Seeing this, Wapa shouted, "Aisha, run! You're no match for them!"

"But...but...but..." Aisha's voice trembled as she looked at Rachel's condition, "Rachel, she..."

Upon hearing this, Wapa lowered his head, stood up, and intended to use his severely injured body to block the two of them. "If you want to fight, come find me."

"We Shandians will not submit to you!"

Kakashi: ......

I feel like I've become a bad guy.

He scratched his head and turned to look at the sighing Gan Fall. "Old man, your enemy?"

Gan Fall shook his head. "I'm not their enemy. It's just a territorial dispute..."

"Territory?" Kakashi stroked his chin. "Could it be that this island is actually their territory?"

“That’s right…” Gan Fall said, embarrassed.

"Well...it is...a bit...emmm," Kakashi didn't know how to comment.

He instantly realized that the angels were planning to seize the land of the Shandians, and that's when the fight broke out.

"Why can't you all consider giving up the struggle and living together?"

"Live together?" Gan Fall's old eyes lit up slightly, but then, seeing Wapa's hateful gaze, they became somber again. "Even if I can convince myself, I cannot convince all the angels, much less the Shandian warriors here."

Kakashi slapped his face. "This is so troublesome."

Gan Fall: "Yeah, yeah, it's so troublesome. Even when I was a god, I didn't know what to do."

"Wait a minute, but the problem is that a new god has appeared on God's Island. Aren't the angels very obedient?" Kakashi stroked his chin, as if he had discovered a key point.

Gan Fall: ?

“When I was around, too…emmm…uh.” Gan Fall finally discovered the truth.

"Right, in fact, strength determines peace. That makes things much easier."

"What does Mr. Kakashi mean?" Gan Fall couldn't help but ask, addressing Kakashi respectfully.

"Now that the god has been defeated, then... wait a minute, do you know where that god is?" Kakashi suddenly remembered something. Where did that damn god go? He hadn't seen a trace of him.

"There's a strange big rock at the altar of the living sacrifices!" Aisha's mind network already knew the place where Enel had fallen, and she immediately spoke up.

"I see. She must have been petrified by Kurotsuchi." Kakashi knew Kurotsuchi's ocular power. "Since the god is gone, how about we try to negotiate? We can act as... as a third party, to make these negotiations go smoothly?"

“Uh.” Gan Fall paused for a moment, then immediately saw this as a good opportunity. “As a former god, I have no objection.”

He looked at Wapa, who looked directly back at Gan Fall. "I refuse."

Wapa then explained his reasons.

"This land itself belongs to us Shandians..."

“Enough, Wapa.” Rachi finally awoke and spoke, “We…can’t defeat them…just one of them…is comparable to that one…”

She was referring to Enel.

Wapa remained silent for a moment, then spoke up, "How are we going to explain this to the chief?"

Kakashi: "..."

They really are savages...and there's even a chieftain among them!

"Right? Let's discuss it. There's no need for fighting." Kakashi felt for the first time how great it was to be Hokage. At least his subordinates and the leaders of other countries could understand human language. If it were like this world...

He will die.

The hatred between the two sides on Sky Island was temporarily quelled when Kakashi and his friends appeared and defeated Enel and the priest. Kakashi, who came to the temple to meet the four, saw that the four had eaten and drunk their fill and were watching beautiful women dance. He couldn't help but clench his fist and punch the four of them.

Fine, fine, I'm out there acting as a negotiator for a bunch of idiots while you guys are having fun, huh?

Seeing that the maids had stopped dancing because of Kakashi's arrival, Kurotsuchi greeted Kakashi first, then said to the maids:

"It's alright, it's alright, keep playing the music and dancing!"

"Mr. Kakashi, come and watch the dance! I never thought being a god here could be so enjoyable."

Onoki wiped the blood from his nose, feeling that even as the Tsuchikage, he didn't know how to enjoy life as the people of this world. "Damn it, granddaughter, you're going to kill your old man!"

"You don't have to watch, Tsuchikage-sama," Konan mocked.

"The old man Tsuchikage should watch less of this, lest he die young in his old age," Samui, sitting next to him, complained.

The former god Gan Fall, who was not far away, and Wapa, who brought the temple's restoration, came behind Kakashi and saw this scene inside the temple.

At the same time, they heard Heitu say that this was an entertainment program specially for 'gods' to enjoy.

Former God Gan Fall: ?

Wapa: !!!

"You evil god! Let me, a righteous Shandian, punish you!!"

“I didn’t do it!!” Gan Fall cried out, accusing himself of wrongdoing.

Kakashi covered his face helplessly, watching Wapa, who had only recently recovered from serious injuries, now had the strength to run and chase after Gan Fall, and felt speechless.

Do people in this world have any intelligence or physical strength?!

Chapter 142 The Power of a Single Kick

Kurotsuchi relayed the events that occurred on Skypiea to Hancock and the others via Den Den Mushi. Hancock and her companions were amazed to learn that the legendary Skypiea had such a history.

Hancock then told Kurotsuchi that their journey might not be so fast. At the speed of a sailing ship, if they tried to gather information in every town, it would take at least a month to reach the Grand Line.

These words greatly disappointed Kurotsuchi and the others.

"A month? My God, is that far?" Kurotsuchi held the Den Den Mushi in disbelief.

“I don’t want to either, but we’re quite a distance from Loguetown right now,” Hancock estimated, based on the nautical chart and the route taken by the large sailing ship.

After exchanging pleasantries, the two women hung up the Den Den Mushi and returned to their cabin, where they overheard Luffy and the others saying they needed to find a cook.

Coincidentally, Johnny knew of a place that must have an excellent chef.

"Baratie, the floating restaurant?"

"Is the food delicious?"

Johnny, seeing Hancock walking in through the ship's door, explained, "Yes! That's a famous floating restaurant in the East China Sea. You'll see once you try it."

"Interesting. There should be a lot of people at that spot. I can use this opportunity to find out if there's any news about someone extraordinary." Hancock figured that someone with extraordinary abilities wouldn't be unknown.

Early the next morning.

Above the East Blue, the sky was clear and cloudless, with a few white clouds floating in the sky. The Circus Bones, flying the flag of the Justice Pirates, and the Going Merry, flying the flag of the Straw Hat Pirates, appeared one after the other in the waters where the Baratie restaurant was located.

While Luffy and his crew were still focused on the Baratie restaurant, Kurenai Yuhi, Hancock, and the others turned their attention to the side of the ship.

A naval warship flying a naval flag quietly approached the right side of the two pirate ships. The ship's hull cracked, revealing a cannon barrel.

"The Navy, huh? I didn't expect they hadn't even heard about my whereabouts yet? Those guys are way too friendly to pirates." Hancock rubbed her temples; dealing with small fry every time she went somewhere was getting on her nerves.

At this moment, the appearance of the naval warships attracted the attention of the Straw Hat Pirates, and Nami also turned her head to look at the naval warships nervously.

Tread.

A pink-haired man dressed in a suit stepped out from the deck of a naval warship. He went to the railing and looked up at the two pirate flags.

A straw hat.

One that says "Justice"...

"Hey! You guys dare to copy the Navy's flag? Are you a pirate crew that originated from the Navy? Huh?!"

He leaned against the railing with one hand, the sunlight revealing his features—a man with scars on his face and dark skin. "I am Captain Iron Fist Hopperdy from Marine Headquarters. Who is the captain? State your name!"

"Holy crap! That Going Merry over there is ours! We're the Straw Hat Pirates, and I'm the captain!" Luffy said, sitting on the railing of the Circus Pond.
