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

The little girl had a green bow in her hair, two curly braids in her bright golden hair, and fair skin.

Unfortunately, the little girl had some freckles on her face, which affected her appearance to some extent.

At this moment, the girl was holding the latest model of goggles from Beihai.

"Um...where did you buy this?"

When Kairoru saw Usopp's appearance, he put his hands on his hips and pointed to the prop shop next door. Upon seeing this, Usopp told Mitarashi Anko to wait there for a moment, saying he would be right back. Then he put down his large bag and quickly went into the shop.

A moment later, Usopp stormed out again, looking utterly devastated. Suddenly, as if remembering something, he rushed to the blonde girl and yelled:

Why didn't you tell me there was only one left?!

The blonde girl calmly wiped the drool off her face. "You didn't even ask me."

After saying that, the blonde girl turned to her father, the middle-aged man named Dadi Mastasson, and asked, "Dad, is he a wanted criminal? We can just grab him and exchange him for money."

Usopp laughed in exasperation and immediately started bragging.

Dadi's gaze remained fixed on the donut he finished and the sandwich he took out and stuffed into his mouth. Seeing Dadi's gaze, I thought it was a kind look from his father and nodded slightly.

However, Dadi seemed to see endless threats in his vision.

He pulled down his cowboy hat and whispered to his daughter, "Never mind, give him these goggles."

If he wasn't mistaken, the spirited-looking light-haired girl not far away was clearly the super wanted criminal who had recently appeared in the East Blue—a super pirate with 170 million.

"How could you do this? I bought this especially for Dad..." Kairo said sadly.

"Never mind. Just give it to him." Dadi was worried that his daughter would anger such a person. He used to be a naval lieutenant, but for his daughter's sake, he was willing to become an ordinary bounty hunter, only catching small fry, low-bounty pirates or wanted criminals, just to make a living.

This was the first time since that incident that he had seen such a high-bounty pirate up close.

'He doesn't look like a bad person.'

This was Dadi's first thought, but he had seen too many people with good looks and temperament who could commit indiscriminate killings.

"This is wonderful." Usopp hadn't expected his father to be such a kind person, actually willing to sell it to him directly.

Just as he was about to take out his money, Mitarashi Anko couldn't help but speak up, "Your daughter specially bought this gift for you, and you're just going to resell it to someone else like this? Is that really appropriate?"

Daye looked at Mitarashi Anko, whose bounty was over 100 million, and asked, "So what do you want?"

Mitarashi Anko stroked her chin, looking completely bewildered. "It's not about what I want, but what you want."

Daye hugged Carol, "Protecting Carol is my ideal."

Upon hearing this, Usopp paused slightly as he took the money, something stirring within him—a feeling of envy.

"Fatherly love... it's truly great."

Daye heard Usopp's voice and saw his familiar face, which stirred up memories of the past. "You are, Yasopp's son, aren't you?"

Upon hearing his father's name, Usopp's eyes widened, and he exclaimed excitedly, "Uncle, you know my father?!"

Daye nodded and began to recount his experience as a Navy lieutenant when he was captured by the Red-Haired Pirates and made a decision about his fate.

In a life-or-death duel with Yasopp, he lost to him. Yasopp called him a failed father, but Daye understood that a man who wanted to dedicate himself to his career would inevitably sacrifice his family.

Even though Daye wanted to die, Yasopp still told him to go back and take care of his lovely daughter.

From that moment on, Daye decided to abandon his career in the Navy. Even if he was captured by the Red-Haired Pirates, his rank in the Navy could still be promoted. He resolutely chose his daughter—he was a man who had almost died once for the Navy, and he would fight for his daughter for the rest of his life.

“I see…” Mitarashi Anko nodded slightly after hearing Tatsuya’s story, feeling a pang of emotion as she thought of her parents. “It’s like the Will of Fire of Konoha. For the sake of the village, sometimes they have to give up their families… and ultimately sacrifice themselves on the battlefield.”

Finally, Usopp received a gift from Kylorus, which, unlike the recognition of will in the original story, was a way of repaying the kindness of Usopp's father for sparing her father.

Daye: "I hope you can inherit your father's courage, travel to the Grand Line, and find him."

Kairo waved and said, "Bye-bye, Uncle~"

Watching the father and daughter leave, Usopp gripped his goggles, a wave of emotion washing over him.

"Don't worry! I will definitely find my father."

"Then."

"Give him a good punch!"

Mitarashi Anko glanced at Usopp and roughly calculated the time. "It's about time. Let's go."

"Eh! Are we really going?! That's the Pirate King!" Usopp turned into a coward again.

"What else!" Mitarashi Anko looked at Usopp's oath just now, thinking he had changed his ways, but he was still the same old guy, and couldn't help but twitch her lips.

Daye, who hadn't gone far, covered his hat, picked up his daughter, and walked in the opposite direction from the execution platform.

With the resurrection of Pirate King Roger, Loguetown, which has been peaceful for so long, is likely to be in trouble.

"What is the One Piece?! It's a pirate king uncle who looks like Ace!"

Luffy's voice echoed throughout the area surrounding the execution platform, leaving a lasting impression.

Roger understood the implication in those words and couldn't help but think of his unborn child, who might now be called Ace. He immediately felt a bit more favorably disposed towards Luffy.

Faced with everyone's anticipation, he immediately kept them in suspense, "The One Piece is indeed the One Piece! We just need to head to the Grand Line to find it! Hahaha—"

Roger burst into laughter after speaking, which made everyone present become serious. Some pirate crews were already planning to grab the resurrected Roger and interrogate him about the details of the One Piece.

Smoker frowned, unwilling to accept this answer. With a cigar dangling from his mouth and his right hand turning into smoke, he said, "If this is your answer, then as a Marine Headquarters Captain, I cannot ignore the matter of the Pirate King's resurrection."

"Excuse me, Gol D. Roger!"

"White Fist!"

Seeing the naval captain make a move, everyone showed expressions of anticipation, eager to witness the strength of the Pirate King firsthand.

"A Logia-type Devil Fruit, huh. What a wonderful thing." Seeing the fist coming at him, white smoke transformed into propulsion, but Roger showed no fear on his face. Instead, he smiled, admiring the Marine's move.

"Well then, I'll stretch my muscles a bit too."

In an instant, the air pressure became heavy, and everyone could feel a storm brewing.

Chapter 159 Temari's Awkward Day

Everyone's hearts raced. The move by one of the strongest remnants of the old era was enough to shock the world—and this was only the situation in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise before news of it broke.

Clack, clack.

"Hey, what are you..."

A resident saw his companion faint and tried to say something, but halfway through his sentence, he felt his blood rush to his head, and everything went black. He couldn't see anything anymore, and then one by one, the people around him collapsed.

Smoker noticed the unconscious and fallen naval soldiers around him, and his eyes widened. He gritted his teeth and quickened his pace.

With a snap, Roger gripped Smoker's white fist. Even if Smoker wanted to 'transform into an element,' he couldn't break free from Roger's right hand, which was filled with Armament Haki and covered in black fluid.

“Logia type... Logia type... Let me think~” Roger grabbed Smoker’s hand, held it in his arms, and sat cross-legged in front of the execution platform. He immediately thought of the name of the fruit, “This should be a Logia type fruit called the Smoke-Smoke Fruit.”

"But speaking of which, what era are we in now?"

At this moment, besides Luffy, only Smoker and Luffy were able to stand.

Luffy clenched his white teeth tightly, determined not to faint, and stubbornly withstood Roger's Conqueror's Haki—this was only because Roger did not use his full Haki, otherwise Luffy and Smoker would have been knocked unconscious.

"Haiyuan year 1520".

"I see, it's been about twenty years." Roger sighed, releasing Smoker's right hand, allowing Smoker to retract his right fist.

Smoker was terrified. If Roger had used Armament Haki to break his right hand, even with his Logia-type abilities, he wouldn't have been able to recover immediately after being injured by Armament Haki.

"As expected of the Pirate King Roger, Logia-type abilities shouldn't pose a threat to you, right?" Smoker said.

“Logia type, huh?” Roger stroked his chin, shielding his eyes from the glaring sunlight, and answered irrelevantly, “It’s something I really miss. Devil Fruits have always been valuable, especially Logia type ones.”

On the execution platform, Roger's body disappeared above. Smoker immediately looked around, only to find Roger standing in front of Luffy, who was protruding from the midst of the falling crowd.

"Your straw hat looks a bit like that red-haired kid's."

Luffy, gritting his teeth, noticed the pressure on him lessening slightly. Hearing Roger's words, he couldn't help but ask, "You, Uncle, do you know Shanks?"

"Hahaha—" Roger patted Luffy on the shoulder, causing Luffy, whose body was already limp, to go limp and almost turn into soft rubber and collapse to the ground.

Upon seeing that Luffy was also a Devil Fruit user, Roger smiled. "Of course I know him. He used to be one of my crew members!"

Roger looked at Luffy's straw hat nostalgically and touched it, saying, "I was the one who gave him this hat back then."

"Eh?!"

In an instant, Roger and Luffy's relationship became much closer, and the two chatted happily. Smoker, who was in a sober state, looked nervous.

Before long, the naval forces from the base arrived one after another. When they saw the scene before them, they were all shocked and their hearts trembled.

A naval soldier, gripping a musket, swallowed hard. "This...could it be that they all..."

Another naval soldier shook his head. He observed that the chests of the people on the ground were still rising and falling. "No! They're still breathing. They must have just passed out!"

"Colonel Smoker!"

Once all the naval soldiers had assembled, the pirates who had arrived along the way also noticed the large number of naval personnel and decided to wait until the naval soldiers left before following behind to watch the execution platform.

From a distance, countless people lay on the ground, except for Navy Captain Smoker, a young man wearing a straw hat, and a middle-aged man in a red coat who were chatting idly.

Wearing a strange black robe that obscured his face, Cabaji looked at the group beside him and asked, "Captain Buggy, isn't that Luffy from the Straw Hat Pirates over there?!"

Beside him, Mochi, dressed in the same black robe, nodded slightly. "It must be him! But that guy next to him... could he be..."

Alvida, wearing a magnificent white top hat, looked at the trembling Buggy the Clown and immediately understood, "So, that guy must be the Pirate King."

Bucky swallowed hard, nodded, and his hands and feet began to go weak. "It's him, it's him."

Buggy recalled the days when he was an apprentice on Roger's crew. Roger, whom he saw back then, looked a little older than the Roger he saw in front of him.

Roger sensed a familiar presence, turned his head, and immediately saw a red nose amidst the black robes. "Bucky?!"

The sight of a red nose, a rare sight on the ship, inevitably reminded Roger of his past – a boastful brat on board.

"No, no, no, no—it wasn't me!" Bucky waved his hand and ran back the way he came.

As he ran off, the other members followed suit.

Anyway, we've already met the Pirate King Roger.

Just as Bucky and his gang were running down the street, they brushed past three girls.

Hancock, who was running ahead of the three girls, stopped and couldn't help but turn around. The other two girls also stopped and asked Hancock what had happened.

Hancock frowned. She had been using her Observation Haki ever since she left the store. "That person... doesn't he look like Buggy?"

Nami turned around and saw that the group had run far away. "No way. Didn't we take Buggy and the Black Cat Pirates to the Marine branch?"

“Could it be that it escaped?” Kurenai Yuhi said, then shook her head. “Now is not the time to focus on that, but on Nawaki.”

"Yes!" x2

Before long, Hancock and her two companions arrived at the execution platform. Sanji, Anko Mitarashi, and Usopp arrived from the other side, and the six of them gathered together and came to the execution platform.

Once everyone was relieved to confirm that Nawaki had only been stunned by Haki, they turned their attention to the uncle who was chatting happily with Luffy.

"Hello, I'm Roger, the Pirate King. Want an autograph?" Roger said with a smile.

"Yes!" Usopp hurriedly pulled out a pen and paper for Roger's autograph and handed it to him, then looked on expectantly as he received Roger's autograph.

Upon seeing this, Luffy immediately stepped forward, "Usopp, give me a pen and paper, I want one too!"

“Yes, yes, I have them all.” Roger waved his hand, enjoying the fans’ adoration. Suddenly, he noticed that the others were unmoved, looking at him with serious expressions.

Roger, holding a pen, scratched his cheek. "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

Hancock said in a deep voice, "Don't you find it strange that someone who has been dead for many years has suddenly come back to life?"

The others nodded in agreement with Hancock's words, and Usopp and Luffy's playful fight froze at that moment.

Under Smoker's orders, the naval personnel did not act rashly and were eavesdropping on the conversation to gather as much information as possible—the main reason being that a message had just been sent back to headquarters by a naval soldier, instructing them not to act rashly.

At Naval Headquarters, Sengoku convened an emergency meeting before all personnel had arrived. The meeting room was filled with various admiral-level officers, and the atmosphere was somewhat tense.

"Kuzan. You missed the Holy Land's mission, but you also received the latest updates from around the world as soon as possible." Sengoku explained the meeting's contents with a serious expression. "Now, many dead people have been resurrected worldwide! This almost coincides with the timeline of the Holy Land's so-called 'Valley of God' ghost story. Our Navy must find a way to deal with this."

Vice Admiral Tsuru, with his white hair and advanced age, sat to one side. "Many of the dead naval members have found the naval base and made contact, but some vicious pirates have also been resurrected."

"For example, the most evil pirate on the sea—Gol D. Roger."

"Hiss—" xN
