Naruto: I am Ninja World Ghost Story, who are you?

Therefore, he did not think that he had done anything wrong, nor did he realize that this was just a tactic used by Fugaku Uchiha to force him to take sides.

[This book's setting: The coup d'état is based on the anime, not the manga.]

The Third Hokage didn't know how to solve the problem either, and even separated the Uchiha clan's territory outside the village. The Uchiha were almost self-sufficient in resources, which was equivalent to splitting Konoha into two ninja villages.

From then on, the Uchiha clan became even more isolated, with no possibility of contacting other clans.

However, Itachi Uchiha, who had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, was blinded by arrogance and pride and could not see these things at all.

Kisame also sensed the arrogance in Itachi's words, that he had judged an entire clan based on one person's opinion. He couldn't help but sigh slightly and changed the subject, saying, "Then let's go apply for the assessment later and find that Colonel Smoker."

"Ah."

Half an hour later, in the mess hall of the naval base, Orochimaru, Itachi Uchiha, and Obito Uchiha, who had arrived, discussed the matter. Everyone had no objections and prepared to report it and apply for an assessment and promotion.

Just then, Smoker received orders from headquarters.

"The legendary Righteous Pirates have appeared in the East Blue, and headquarters has ordered me to lead the Marines into battle."

"Let's make this battle the assessment."

Inside the office, Smoker looked at the group of people in front of him, their files laid out on the table. "Only in this way can we confirm that you are not members of the Justice Pirates."

Orochimaru appeared calm on the surface, but was inwardly panicked.

Damn it! You want me to go fight Uchiha Fufan?! That's practically suicide!

Itachi Uchiha's eyes were vacant, with a hint of despair in them.

Kisame stroked his chin, muttering "Pressure Masne" in a low voice, showing a sense of eagerness to test his skills against that Uchiha ghost.

The Sound Four remained expressionless. They obeyed Orochimaru's orders, and even if they were outmatched, they would fight to the death because it was Lord Orochimaru's command.

Obito and Zetsu: "..."

Black Zetsu tried his best to remain calm and asked, "How many members are there in the Justice Pirates?"

Smoker possesses basic Observation Haki, and his serious gaze scans the expressions on everyone's faces.

Fear, panic, calm...

It seems like he's worried about encountering the captain.

After observing for a short while, Smoker began to answer Black Zetsu's question, "The members we currently know of are..."

"Hancock, the vice-captain of the Justice Pirates..."

Upon hearing the name, Itachi Uchiha's expression shifted from fear to confusion to disdain.

Apart from Uchiha Bufan, they were all just lowly people selling their heads.

Orochimaru relaxed upon hearing Hancock's name, and became slightly interested when he heard that his two disciples had joined some kind of righteous pirate crew.

"So, our trip this time is just to fight the members of the Justice Pirates, and there is no captain involved, right?"

“Yes.” Smoker frowned and looked at Orochimaru. “You’re afraid of the captain of the Justice Pirates? That’s not the kind of mentality a Marine should have.”

Orochimaru gave an awkward smile: "Colonel Smoker, I hope you'll still be able to say that when you meet that extraordinary Uchiha."

Smoker was somewhat surprised by this answer, and at the same time felt that these people didn't seem to be lying, and seemed to have no connection with the members of the Justice Pirates.

He stood up, picked up his weapon, and said, "Then, let's fight."

"In this operation, our main role was to cooperate with the capture of naval hero Vice Admiral Garp."

"Vice Admiral Garp?!"

Upon hearing the title of naval hero and a vice admiral, everyone was immediately taken aback.

Orochimaru, on the other hand, recalled the old man who had been brutally beaten by Luffy in the dungeon.

And Luffy seems to have a straw hat, and Smoker just mentioned that the Straw Hat Pirates, which are affiliated with the Justice Pirates, are also on the capture list.

"Sparashi~ This encounter is going to be quite a spectacle~" Orochimaru unconsciously stuck out his long tongue and licked it back and forth, making Smoker's mouth twitch wildly.

This guy looks really weird. I hope you guys are really with the Justice Pirates, so we can arrest you together!

Soon after, the warships from Loguetown set sail, heading towards the waters of the Baratie floating restaurant, together with Garp's naval warships.

At this moment, Sanji greeted Gin outside and told him his story. After hearing it, Luffy became even more determined to invite Sanji, which filled Sanji with inner turmoil.

In the end, he made up his mind.

“I owe the old man my life, I will not go to sea with you.”

"Eh! How could this be..." Luffy said in disappointment.

......

A white mist had somehow enveloped the Baratie floating restaurant. Luffy, standing outside, looked out into the deep sea, and the restaurant's guests noticed a large ship emerging from the mist.

"That ship...that ship..."

"What's wrong, darling?" The male guest turned to look out the floor-to-ceiling window, and he and the female guest gaped, their faces filled with fear. "That flag... it's the Krieg Pirates, led by Captain Krieg, the overlord of the East Blue!"

The guests' flustered yet calm demeanor was ignored by the Justice Pirates, who were enjoying the sweets Sanji had given them.

"Krieg? Is that some famous pirate?" Kurenai asked Hancock, a local, after taking a bite of her fruit pudding.

"I don't know~ I don't know anything about these petty pirates," Hancock replied casually.

Johnny and Joseph, sweating and with slightly twitching lips, began explaining how awesome the Krieg Pirates were...

But halfway through their explanation, they noticed that Nami and the other female leaders were all looking like idiots, and even Nawaki began to worry about their memories.

"I mean... I think Hancock has a bounty of 500 million. Krieg's bounty is only 17 million, which is less than ours," Nawaki said speechlessly.

Johnny and Joseph, with snot running down their faces, stood there dumbfounded as they listened, then looked at each other.

"Yes!"

The two of them said in unison, relieved, and sat back down, patting their full bellies as they breathed a sigh of relief.

It's so reassuring to have these older sisters looking out for me!

Outside, Sanji and Luffy were extremely nervous upon seeing Krieg's appearance.

Even though he was hungry, Krieg was still able to enter the restaurant wearing heavy golden armor, supported by Arkin.

"Could you give us water and food? Anything is fine...any price is acceptable..."

"I haven't eaten or drunk anything for days..."

"please..."

Klick was putting on a pitiful act, performing his humility in exchange for food and water, before waiting for his chance to strike.

Amidst the suspicions of countless diners and chefs, Klick knelt down without hesitation, kowtowing and begging the restaurant for a meal, even if it was leftovers, and promising that they would not do anything malicious.

Unaware of the situation, Akin was genuinely moved to tears upon seeing his captain's humble demeanor, earning Hancock's endorsement of his honesty.

Just then, Sanji came up from the kitchen upstairs, carrying a large portion of hastily prepared fried rice.

Meanwhile, the strangely-looking Paddy was mocking Krieg's pitiful act from the stairs.

"Paddy, move aside."

The words had barely left his lips when, before poor Paddy could even react, his head slammed into the wall with a thud.

Only pirates are tough enough to withstand a beating. If it were a modern ordinary person, they would at least suffer a dented nose with bleeding, a concussion, and a brain hemorrhage.

Seeing this, Hancock rested her beautiful chin on her hand and said, "This is the overlord of the East Blue? How hypocritical."

"Hey blond guy, are you sure you want to give it to him? He's lying to you."

Chapter 144 The locals in the East Blue are almost numb from being beaten, the Navy makes its appearance!

"Hey blond guy, are you sure you want to give it to him? He's lying to you."

In the quiet restaurant, Hancock's voice suddenly rang out, causing Sanji, who had come down the stairs to the floor, to pause for a moment.

Surprisingly, Sanji still feeds Krieg, which is perhaps the romance of a cook—never letting anyone starve to death in front of him.

Then Carne caught up and began to recount Krieg's 'glorious past,' a man with great strength who would stop at nothing to 'win,' whether it was attacking the navy or towns, he had always raised the white flag to surrender and then turned his back on them.

This kind of person is not trustworthy at all!

"Don't you understand, Sanji? That kind of villain would never..."

Snapped.

The empty wine bottle hit the ground, interrupting the chef, Cargner, who was wearing sunglasses, from speaking. Cargner trembled slightly.

Sanji, who was smoking a cigarette, also came to his senses and was about to look down.

Krieg, now fully recovered, stood up from the ground. With his massive size, he swiftly thrust his right hand forward, striking Sanji directly in the neck with his elbow.

"what--"

Sanji screamed, his cigarette flew backward, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth as he lay on the ground.

Akin was stunned. "This isn't what we agreed on, Chief Klick!"

"The condition for bringing you here is that you are not allowed to attack this shop, and this man is our savior..."

Paji.

Akin, who is less than two meters tall, was grabbed by the right shoulder and lifted high by Klee, who is more than twice his height.

Klick completely ignored Akin's statement and pinched his shoulder hard. "It tastes good. I feel completely reborn."

Click!

"Ahhhhh!!"

Akin's arm was dislocated by Klee, who then released his grip. Akin clutched his right shoulder in pain and screamed.

The guests began to flee, not believing that the pirates would protect them. Even if there were pirates with higher bounties in the restaurant, they would surely start fighting over profits.

Therefore, ordinary people like them will inevitably be affected.

At this point, only the Justice Pirates, the Straw Hat Pirates, and the restaurant's chefs remained in the restaurant.

Krick looked around and gave a wicked smile. "This ship is not bad. It's mine now."

His gaze even reached Hancock and the others who were still motionless in the restaurant.

"I never imagined there were such beauties in the East Blue! All these things belong to me, Krieg!! Hahaha—"

Klick laughed wildly and unrestrainedly.

Hancock put down her spoon, her appetite ruined by this idiot. "Too long-winded! I can't stand it."

Kurenai Yuhi: "Me too."

Mitarashi Anko: "Me too."

After Krieg finished laughing, he lowered his head slightly, his eyes reflecting Hancock's fully revealed face as she stood up. All the smile on his face vanished.

As a treacherous and cunning person, he certainly knows which people he cannot afford to offend.

If someone can recognize Redfoot Zeff from a year ago, they can also recognize Boa Hancock, who was wanted a year ago with a bounty of 500 million.

"Empress...why are the Seven Warlords of the Sea in the East Blue?!"

"Weren't you being very arrogant just now? I had a very unpleasant meal." Hancock said with a gloomy face, turning to the cooks, "I will compensate you for the losses on your ship later."

"What..." Before Carne could react, Hancock had already disappeared.

A pair of black high heels, emanating a powerful 'qi', appeared beneath her fair toes and stood before Krieg's golden armor.

"How dare you covet my body!"

"Fragrant feet!"

boom! ! !

The restaurant door was kicked open along with Krieg's towering body, and the once imposing Krieg had vanished without a trace.

On the floor, Akin stared in awe at the stunningly beautiful woman emerging from the smoke and dust. At that moment, the woman's expression was terrifyingly gloomy.

"What bad luck." Hancock, shuffling in her black high heels, looked down at the flustered Arkin. "Hey, have you seen a little boy with dark hair on your ship?"

"No, no, no, no..." Ah Jin said, shaking his head while covering his arm.

"Tch. Useless."
