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

After catching up, Danzo was given some water to replenish his fluids, and he finally slowly woke up.

"Where am I...?"

"Danzo, you're finally awake! Look who we've run into!" Hiruzen Sarutobi exclaimed excitedly.

Danzo opened his blurry eyes and was in a daze for a while before he could finally make out the figure of the girl with long, straight black hair sitting in a chair waving.

His eyes widened, and he exclaimed incredulously, "The First Generation Lord!"

......

"Um, we're just ordinary residents. We were only following you because you're so beautiful."

"So you mean you want to rape me?" Mei Terumi joked.

The rebels, bound by paper ropes, immediately shook their heads and shouted in low voices.

"No, no, no—we really didn't mean any harm."

"Yeah! We just happened to follow them here by accident!"

"Please, please let us go. We really won't tell anyone about what you've done."

Before the other rebels could even speak, they looked down at their idiot teammate and asked, "?"

"Hey, they actually knew our purpose!" Kurotsuchi exclaimed in surprise, her expression gradually turning serious. "They knew our purpose just as we arrived, which means we've been followed. Or rather, there are people in this place with such abilities who can monitor our every move!"

"Is it another god?" Xiao Nan covered her face. "Is something like the Mind Network commonplace in this world?"

Upon hearing the techniques of the past god Enel, Connie instinctively clasped her hands in fear. Samui touched Connie's hands, then turned to the group of bewildered individuals who didn't understand what they were talking about, and asked, "Tell me, what is the name of your god?"

"?????"

After being bewildered for a while, one of the rebels cautiously spoke up, "Um, what god? Our Alabasta Kingdom doesn't have any gods. But there is a man known as the King of the Desert."

"The King of the Desert? That must be him. He's your leader, isn't he?" Xiao Nan's face turned cold. She stepped forward, a sharp paper knife materializing in her right hand, and held it to the rebel's neck. The rebel was still wondering if he had said something wrong that led to him being threatened. "Tell me! Where is he!"

"I...I...I...I don't know."

Sizzle, the paper knife cut a small gash in his skin, and blood began to soak the knife. The burning pain made the rebel man feel threatened with death, and he roared.

"I know, I know! I'll tell you everything, please don't kill me!"

The other rebel men: "..." How come they didn't know where Crocodile was? That guy was always elusive; some said he was the mastermind behind a casino in a certain oasis city, but sometimes he was playing the hero in another city...

Ultimately, they were just insignificant nobodys, and they had no way of knowing such information.

Xiao Nan smiled gently, but to the rebel men, this gentle and elegant smile seemed like the smile of a female demon. "Oh, I knew it, you definitely knew. Saves me the trouble of interrogating you with illusions."

"In...in Rain Country! Rain Country is the most prosperous city in the country, and it has many casinos. There must be information about Crocodile there!"

"By the way, do you know where the Little Garden is?" Having received the information, Xiao Nan temporarily sheathed her sword. The rebel man with a bloodstain on his neck breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head slightly, "I don't know."

"Huh?!" Xiao Nan glanced at the man.

The rebel man shuddered, and without thinking, began spouting nonsense, "As long as we find Crocodile, this lady, we'll have all the information you need!"

"A nobody is a nobody. Ask them something, and they know nothing." Hei Tu crossed his arms, looking disdainful. "Which direction is Rain Land?"

This time, the rebel man really understood. He pointed in the right direction, and the women glanced in that direction.

The remaining rebels glanced at the rebel men, thinking to themselves, "What will we do when these terrifying women find Crocodile and see through our lies?"

"About how far?" Xiao Nan asked.

"This...if we were to ride a camel, it would take at least a day to complete."

"Very good. Now, take out the money you have on you."

Rebels: "..." Are you female robbers?!

The rebels were untied, and knowing that their opponents possessed 'unknown power' and were most likely 'Devil Fruit' users, they didn't hesitate to take out their money.

"get out."

The rebel man nodded, then, as if remembering something, turned and looked down at the shady spot where the guns were piled up, pointing, "That, our guns..."

"?" Hei Tu looked puzzled and frowned, saying, "Isn't that supposed to be an apology to us? What, you think it's not enough? You want to leave your life as an atonement?!"

"No, no, no, no—" Upon hearing that their lives were in danger, several rebels immediately ran to the stairwell and ran down the stairs without looking back.

Standing atop the group, holding a white parasol, Konan watched them leave, then turned to Samui and asked, "How many lies were told?"

Samui shook his head. "It's all lies. This group must have just randomly picked the name of a local strongman, and he's definitely not their leader."

"So, we were just scaring ourselves, right?" Mei Terumi's lips twitched. "Then where do we go next?"

"Rainy ground." x2

Xiao Nan and Samui spoke in unison, exchanging a knowing glance. Xiao Nan then explained, "Regardless, there is indeed a powerful figure in that place. We might be able to obtain the Little Garden's sea chart or its precise location from him."

“Konan is right. The enemy might not be as strong as that guy who has the Rumble-Rumble Fruit. We might be able to get what we want through negotiation,” Samui said. “Secondly, we need to find someone who can cooperate with us.”

......

Inside a building, a rebel squad leader, seeing the return of the missing men, roared, "Where the hell have you been?!"

"We were captured by several powerful women."

"Those women also have the ability to use earthen pillars and paper pieces."

Upon hearing this news, the rebel squad leader's pupils contracted sharply. After a moment's thought, he asked the others for more details. When he learned that they needed a chart of Little Garden, he was immediately puzzled. "A chart? On the Grand Line, you can only use a compass to find your way; a chart is completely useless..."

"However, this is something we can use. Where are those people?! Take me there!"

"Huh?! You're going again?!" xN

Chapter 166 Celestial Dragons? I'll fight the Celestial Dragons!

【Special Ability Lock (Already Bound)】

"Is this the treasure? That's quite interesting." Junzi used her flying ability to leave the Holy Land of Mary Geoise. She passed through naval strongholds along the way without disarming herself. After flying for several days, except for a short rest in between, her strength was almost exhausted. She finally wanted to find a place to rest.

Just then, her heterochromatic pupils caught sight of a pirate ship being pulled by a sea serpent that had appeared on the surface of the sea. It was large enough that the people on board did not seem to pose much of a threat. Most importantly, she recognized which pirate crew it was.

A woman with jet-black hair and a small bun was lying flat on the rope net on the boat.

She had a blade of grass in her mouth, which she had somehow gotten her hands on, and her gaze swept across the bright sunshine in the sky.

Her skin was a bit dark from being at sea for a long time without sun protection, but this did not affect the fact that the girl had a great figure.

Compared to Boa Marigold, whose obese figure couldn't be hidden even under a parasol, the black-haired girl was top-notch in every way.

"Such beautiful weather. I really want to shoot a shot at the seabirds in the sky." The black-haired girl is a sniper in the Kuja Pirates.

"Darling, stop fooling around. This is the first time we've traveled this far from Amazon Lily. Don't scare the passersby when we reach the next island," said a poised woman with short, black hair and delicate features. She carried a quiver of arrows on her back and was also a member of the Amazon Lily Pirates.

"Hahaha—I wonder if those men will be surprised~"

Longdan glanced at Alan and Daisy speaking below, her expression slightly helpless. "Don't get involved with those men casually. Who knows, they might have ill intentions towards us."

Daisy continued to laugh, and Alan, equally relaxed and cheerful, smiled, but his gaze reflected a strange 'bird' appearing in the air.

"What...is that?"

Alan shielded his eyes from the sunlight, his vision gradually clearing as he looked at the objects in the sky. Daisy, standing beside him, didn't realize what was happening and thought Alan was joking. She nudged Alan's waist with her elbow. "Alright, although our Kuja Pirates haven't made a move in a long time, our strength has always been somewhat renowned at sea. We shouldn't attract the attention of other pirates."

Instead of relaxing his expression, Alan became serious and pointed to the sky, "No! That's not a bird! It's a bird-man wearing strange armor and with a pair of mechanical wings!"

Just then, the flying creature was about to land. Alan roared, while the gentian hanging in the net raised its rocket launcher, aimed it at the sky, lit the fuse, and, with a green plant resembling foxtail grass in its mouth, muttered:

"go to hell!"

With a whoosh, a rocket several times larger than a girl's fist shot out from the silver-white rocket launcher muzzle.

The black cannonball flew straight into the air. Junzi was a little angry when she saw the Kuja Pirates attack without warning, but she thought that she needed to rest there, so she dodged and did not retaliate, letting the cannonball pass by her.

"Tch." Seeing that his attack had no effect, Longdan's face darkened. The rocket launcher in his hand needed to be reloaded before it could be used again, so he landed from the rope net and looked at Alan, who was drawing his bow and raising his arrow, and said, "Don't let her fall onto our ship, otherwise when Lady Snake finds out, she will definitely blame us for not doing our job well!"

If we allow the enemy to land on the ship, the ship will definitely suffer some damage or destruction when a battle breaks out.

Although Longdan had never seen Boa Hancock angry like this before, Hancock used to be very strict and would never allow anyone to infringe on her authority—even if it wasn't the death penalty, the punishment was not something that could be easily dismissed with a few words.

On the deck of the pirate ship, many members of the Kuja Pirates went to the armory and took out their weapons. Bows and arrows, muskets, and even Rindan wielding a silver-white rocket launcher were all attacking Junzi above. This meant that if Junzi didn't retaliate and create an opening, the dense barrage of attacks couldn't penetrate and would only result in him being attacked by the pirates below.

The whooshing of arrows, the booming of cannonballs exploding in the air, the whistling of bullets—all these noises were incredibly annoying to Uchiha Bufan, who was feeling the heat of the day and wanted to rest for a while.

At that moment, he felt like Lazy Sheep had just returned home and said, "I'll be fine as long as I sleep at home."

"Noisy!"

Clutching a pillow, wearing a macho pink nightcap, he stomped his slippers and made his way to the deck, forcefully pushing open the cabin door connecting the deck.

boom!

"Aren't you going to let me rest?!"

"Do you know how tired I am? Huh?!" Just as Uchiha Fufan was about to burst out cursing and scolding his subordinates for going too far with their horseplay, his sleepy eyes fell on the sight of everyone on the deck raising their weapons and pointing them to the sky. He wondered if he had entered the wrong room.

So, Uchiha Bufan closed the door in full view of everyone, and then opened it again. Looking even more bewildered, he stared at the many nervous Kuja Pirates members in front of him.

"Wait, are you guys at war? Why didn't you call me?" Uchiha Bufan forgot to learn the Empress's catchphrase for a moment, but fortunately, he used 'real-disguise transformation' to maintain the image and appearance of a girl. In everyone's eyes, he was a handsome young woman with long, black, spiky hair.

The Boa sisters, dressed in bikinis typical of Amazon Lily, covered their faces. They couldn't very well say they were too worried about the enemy landing and didn't have time to notify you, could they? Besides, even if they did notify you, how could you attack someone in the air?

Of course, Uchiha Bufan didn't reveal the power of the fruit he was experimenting with. Instead, he said that he had researched an attack method and accidentally released too much power. After all, these people probably wouldn't believe him if he said he had taken the Glint-Glint Fruit, and there was also a spy on the ship. He was worried that the spy would leak the secret.

Tread-tap-

The sound of crisp footsteps came from the ship's deck corridor behind Uchiha Bufan. It was as if the little undercover agent had arrived.

"What happened?!" Tina, standing beside Uchiha Fufan, was also flustered. She thought they had encountered an enemy, so she put on a Navy uniform, thinking that if they met the Navy, she could at least say a few words and avoid fighting this monster-level ninja (Uchiha Fufan) over a disagreement.

Just as everyone stopped fighting, Junzi finally found an opportunity to fall from the air. The engine of the weapon grazed the top of the second-floor cabin, which was the door where Uchiha Bufan was standing, and came to a hasty stop.

Subsequently, the armed forces were forced to dissipate into crimson specks of light, revealing a pink-haired girl wearing a black military cap, a black military robe, and a short skirt.

With pupils of varying shades, one dark and one light, they scanned the crowd below before Junko's eyes met those of Uchiha Bufan.

Based on her many experiences throughout her life, and combining psychology, behavioral science, and various other disciplines, she could clearly see that...

This is a man's gaze.

"Where is the Snake Princess of Kuja Island?" Although Junzi had heard that a Snake Princess had appeared on Kuja Island, she did not believe that Uchiha Bufan was that person. If she wanted to stay on this ship temporarily, she had to discuss it with the captain of the Kuja Pirates, who was also the Empress.

A large "well" character suddenly appeared above Uchiha Bufan's head. He raised a fist the size of a sandbag, and his left hand, which was holding a pillow, clenched slightly, with veins bulging. A "well" character also began to appear faintly on both hands.

"No. Do you even know where you are? How dare you disturb me, bah! Disturb me, the Empress of Nine Serpent Island, from my rest!"

"You deserve to die!"

Junzi and Tina: "..." Tina didn't know where to begin her吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for complaining/criticizing). She knew very well that Uchiha Bufan's anger was simply due to physical discomfort from the long journey and his morning grumpiness. She also noticed the clothes Junzi was wearing.

"The World Government's attire, if I'm not mistaken, should belong to the Celestial Dragons' secret force," Tina thought to herself, her gaze already fixed on the Celestial Dragon insignia on the black military uniforms. Only one unit had ever heard of this insignia.

—A force entirely composed of Celestial Dragons, the Knights of God.

"But why would someone like that be here?" Tina was unaware of what had happened at the Holy Land. Sengoku hadn't told Tina because he was worried that the matter would be leaked too early, potentially causing the decisive battle between the Revolutionary Army and the Navy to occur prematurely.

"You seem to have a bit of a lapse in judgment about the difference in strength." Junzi spoke indifferently, completely disregarding everyone on the Kuja ship. However, she fell silent when she saw Tina's uniform and white naval cloak.

After a moment, she continued, "Why is the Navy present at Amazon Lily? Is it to monitor Boa Hancock as she carries out that cooperation?"

Seeing that Uchiha Bufan had crumpled his pillow and looked gloomy, Tina quickly spoke up to explain, worried that Uchiha Bufan's beating of a Celestial Dragon would cause problems with his status as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. "Um, um, Tina has some reasons for staying on this ship. Um, um, Bufan, don't be impulsive. She's a Celestial Dragon. If you hit her, your status as one of the Seven Warlords will be gone."

In an instant, Uchiha Bufan gasped. He couldn't help but look up again at Junzi's delicate face. The high-necked scarf covered the girl's pretty chin, but it couldn't hide her beauty.

In his mind, weren't the Celestial Dragons all a bunch of ugly, oddly shaped idiots wearing air-purifying shields?! How could there be such a cool and beautiful girl?!

But Tina wouldn't lie to him about something like that; it must be true.

He silently inquired with the second system whether the reward would be reclaimed.

Did the system respond?

【Won't】

"?"

Uchiha Bufan smiled.

If you won't recycle your clothes, what are you doing?!

He casually tossed the half-ruined pillow to Tina beside him, then raised his head high, placing one hand on his chin. His posture was somewhat strange, yet undeniably elegant.

At this moment, the members of the Amazon Lily pirate crew dared not utter a sound, because Tina's mention of the Celestial Dragons was enough to send chills down their spines.
