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

Xiao Nan: "I agree with Conis."

Black Soil: "Agreed +1".

Samui, seeing this, shrugged and said, "This is the only reliable way."

"If we were to find the general direction ourselves, I don't know how long it would take."

“Things are different with nautical charts.”

"Even if the surrounding environment changes on this Grand Line, causing us to deviate from our course, or if we are unaware of the situation around us, having a nautical chart is still better than not having one."

Most of the nautical charts on the Grand Line are inaccurate, but those who have the ability to fly can easily cross the ocean and find the address they want to go to.

"Then it's decided!" Mei Terumi clapped her hands and said. The group then returned to the rebel base and informed Farafura of the decision. Farafura was very grateful to everyone and invited them to the rebel headquarters to retrieve the nautical charts they had collected.

......

Nahana, a small restaurant.

Nico Robin took a bite of food, then put down her chopsticks, propped her chin on her hand, and watched the three people eating.

"Your goal isn't all to find that person named Uchiha Fufan, is it?"

The three of them choked as they ate. Hashirama Senju wondered how Robin knew that name, since Kurotsuchi hadn't mentioned it. Meanwhile, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura wondered if Baroque Works was founded by that brat, Fufan Uchiha!

"really."

"You know that person."

Nico Robin took a newspaper from her pocket, which she had just bought from the city newspaper office, and placed it open on the table:

The notice stated the new Shichibukai, the Empress of Amazon Lily, "Bai Bufan," and the Justice Pirates, a powerful pirate crew that had appeared in the East Blue...

Moreover, the newspaper also included a profile photo of Bai Bufan—a young man with long, spiky black hair and a cold gaze.

Hashirama Senju had never seen the Dark Realm version of Uchiha Bufan, so he completely failed to notice the two terrified boys beside him with trembling pupils. Instead, he picked up the newspaper with both hands, examined it carefully several times, and then nodded slightly.

"It seems like Bufan has grown up."

"This might really be the person I'm looking for."

"As expected." Nico Robin was still wondering if people with such similar names could be the same person. Now it seems that Uchiha Bufan and Bai Bufan, who had a two-year bounty on their heads by the World Government, really are the same person.

Just then, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was standing nearby, came to his senses, shook his head, and said:

"Do not."

"That's not the real Uchiha Fufan."

"The culprit who almost caused the destruction of our world!"

Chapter 169 Target: Whisky Peak

Hiruzen Sarutobi's words completely overturned Nico Robin's previous ideas.

At the table, Robin's expression was grim: "World...destruction? Are you sure, little monkey?"

Hearing Robin call him by his childhood nickname after Hashirama didn't bother Hiruzen Sarutobi; he was more startled by the appearance of this 'Uchiha Extraordinary'.

He took the newspaper from Hashirama, examined it carefully several times, and after confirming it, his heart finally settled. "That's right!"

"It's definitely him."

Hiruzen Sarutobi recalled that when he wanted to know what happened next, the Second Hokage gave him a history book about the Dark World—a history book specially made to commemorate the Dark World incident, in case something like that happened again.

Even if the world is destroyed, at least there's still a glimmer of hope. Maybe someone will see a few pages of this book and know what they went through.

This history book features a detailed depiction of Uchiha Ebisu's face by an illustrator; however, the history books sold to the public and the textbooks used in ninja academies are not as detailed.

"I will never forget it, even if I turn to ashes."

"That caused Danzo and me to shrink..."

"Wait a minute." Robin sensed something amiss in the conversation and interrupted, "You mean, you were originally much older?"

"Uh." Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was still trying to take advantage of the situation by pretending to be a child, blushed. Danzo Shimura, who was completely indifferent to women, nodded and pulled Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was trying to pretend to be a child, over: "I'm already over sixty years old this year. Of course, this old monkey is the same."

Nico Robin: "......"

This was the first time she had ever heard of such a thing happening.

"No wonder your strength is comparable to that of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, I see."

“I will help you keep this a secret, but in exchange, you have to do me a favor. How about it?” Robin said.

Danzo Shimura's eyes flashed: "A mission? But it doesn't matter. Our mission isn't Uchiha Bufan, but to obtain the power of this world."

"And then there's the capture of Orochimaru," Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed, his wish to soak in a hot spring with his superior now gone...

"Hmm. Power, you mean Devil Fruits?" Robin raised an eyebrow. "Devil Fruits aren't rare in the New World; it mainly depends on what type of ability you want."

"How can I get it?!" Shimura Danzo's mouth watered.

Robin rested her beautiful chin on her hand and smiled, "Well, it depends on fate. In some places, you can even buy them with money. For example, at the last stop of the first half of the Grand Line, the Sabaody Archipelago, it's said that you can buy Devil Fruits and beautiful fish-men there."

"As long as you have money, that's all."

Hiruzen Sarutobi: "A beautiful fish-man?!"

Danzo Shimura: "So all you have to do is buy it with money?! That's so easy!"

Hashirama Senju exclaimed angrily, "How could such an evil place exist..."

Robin took in the three men's reactions, stood up, put down a stack of Berries, and said, "However, you'll need money. This is no small sum."

"How much do you want!" Shimura Danzo despised money more than anything. As the former leader of Root, he only needed to ask his old friends for money, and could easily ask for millions for base maintenance...

Uh!

Danzo suddenly realized that this was not Konoha Village, and he and his old friend were no longer the leader of the Root organization and the Hokage of Konoha Village.

"Even the most ordinary Devil Fruit has a market price of over 100 million Berries."

"Do you have money?"

Robin glanced at the two excited people with some curiosity.

"One hundred million?!" Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately thought of the Land of Fire's currency—he had never spent one hundred million in cash on anything in all his years of life! That was equivalent to one hundred pre-tax S-rank mission bounties!

Danzo was stunned. The most money he had ever asked his old friend for in one go was only ten or twenty million. Now, a hundred million for the most ordinary Devil Fruit was shocking to the old man who had never touched money before. "It's too expensive."

“That’s natural. Being able to directly consume a Devil Fruit and gain special abilities is something many people dream of.” Robin demonstrated her Devil Fruit ability, and a white arm appeared on the table, picked up a water glass, and handed it to her, asking her to reach out and take it.

"Amazing... an arm can actually grow out of a table." Hiruzen Sarutobi swallowed nervously, glancing around. He thought to himself that if Robin wanted to kill him, an arm could suddenly appear on the chair and launch a vicious attack...

Wait a minute! So, if you put it that way...

Hiruzen Sarutobi revealed a wicked little expression, while Danzo Shimura was shocked by Robin's ability and asked how much her Devil Fruit cost. However, Robin couldn't be sure and could only say that it wouldn't be less than 300 million, as the Devil Fruit's power mainly depends on the user's development of it.

Afterwards, the group hurriedly left the small restaurant, leaving behind a few banknotes and silver coins. The owner, who was lying down to sleep, yawned, stepped over the cabinet from his recliner, pushed aside the wooden board blocking outsiders from entering, took the money, and went back to his seat to sleep.

-

The day before, at dusk, the Justice Pirates and even the Straw Hat Pirates set off from Twin Capes.

Roger spent a long time catching up with his former ship's doctor, Crocus. When Crocus asked if this group of people were the young people he wanted to see, Roger smiled and said, "Maybe."

Afterwards, Crocus told Roger about some things in the New World, such as his son, Ace, who had become a great pirate with a bounty of hundreds of millions, or joined the Whitebeard Pirates, who only recognized their sons.

"Ahhhh-"

"Damn Whitebeard! I'm going to kill you!!!"

A voice, tinged with the domineering aura of a powerful figure, occasionally emanated from inside the cabin. Princess Vivi, MISS Wednesday, and Prince Mr. 9, who were sitting at the table wearing coats, were startled and dared not utter a sound.

Outside the cabin.

"This is my grandfather! The First Hokage! The strongest ninja in history!" Nawaki, dressed in thick clothes and wearing a scarf, built a snowman of Hashirama Senju outside the Going Merry.

"Amazing! Is this what the legendary ninja is like?" Luffy exclaimed excitedly.

“Then I, the Snow Queen, shouldn’t be too bad, right?” Usopp said, standing next to a snowman shaped like a beautiful queen, stroking his chin.

At this moment, Nami was in the cabin of the Going Merry; otherwise, these idiots would never have known that too much snow could cause the ship to sink and that no one was shoveling snow.

Incidentally, she also wanted to get information about them from the two of them.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Kurenai Yuhi used the Flame-Flame Fruit to ignite the snow and then channeled her chakra; Hancock, the strongest fighter, stayed on the ship, observing the surroundings for any danger.

Prince: "Isn't there any heating equipment on the ship?"

Vivi: "It's so cold~"

"You're not guests, hurry up and shovel the snow for me!" Nami shouted, but then a sudden clap of thunder startled her. "What's going on with this weather?"

"Speaking of which, you haven't been at the helm since the beginning. Are you sure that's okay?" Vivi suddenly asked.

"Don't worry, I've adjusted the direction of both ships, it's absolutely..." Nami glanced down at the Log Pose in her hand upon hearing this, just then, Hancock jumped from the sailboat in front of her onto the snow.

Sanji's eyes turned into hearts: "My lovely Hancock-chan, what brings you to our Going Merry?"

Hancock said frankly, "I felt like the ship was veering off course from the very beginning. I'm going to find Nami."

"Huh?!" xN

"Damn it! I only didn't check the log pointer for a moment, how did it go off course!" Nami angrily looked at the log pointer in her hand, which had now spun 180 degrees.

"Are you really a navigator? On this great sea route, you can't trust anything, not the clouds, the terrain, or the weather."

"The only one I can trust."

"It's the direction the record pointer in your hand is pointing."

Mitarashi Anko, munching on bread, asked curiously, "Is it really that amazing?"

Nami: "..."

Nami was too embarrassed to ask Anko to help the Going Merry, but she kicked the two cargo carriers out without hesitation. Then she told Anko and Nawaki to go back to the Circus Pond and give the ship a 180-degree spin.

At this moment, Nami felt so tired—couldn't your Straw Hat Pirates find a navigator?

The sound of hurried footsteps began to echo on the decks of both ships. Hancock suddenly noticed that the sun had appeared in the sky and immediately took off her coat: "The Calm Belt is still the best."

At least that area of ​​the sea doesn't have this kind of chaotic weather.

Immediately afterward, before the ship had even fully begun to capsize, fog suddenly rolled in and a strong wind picked up. Nami exclaimed in shock, "What on earth is going on with this weather?!"

"We're going to crash into an iceberg!!!" Rope Tree pulled up the sail ropes and suddenly discovered a large iceberg in front of him.

"What a nuisance." Hancock, still in her Gale form, used her 'ki' to create a gap, then used her Flying Technique to accelerate in a straight line from the bow of the ship. Her right high heel gathered powerful energy as she arrived in front of the iceberg.

"Big fragrant feet!"

Boom boom boom——

Hancock kicked an entire iceberg, causing countless iceberg fragments to fall onto the sea.

Subsequently, the Circus Bones and the Going Merry passed through the iceberg without incident. However, they soon encountered a large sea storm when they turned around. The numb expression of Nawaki, the excited Anko Mitarashi, the frowning Kurenai Yuhi, and even Nami's voice coming from the Going Merry, all led the two ships to sail forward according to Nami's instructions.

......

After navigating the storm zone for nearly half an hour, the two ships finally made it through the storm unscathed, each of them a mess from the stormy weather.

"This ship has just been repaired, hasn't it?" Hancock never expected that the proud woman would have to become a ship repairman. She recalled the days when she sat high up on the ship and only needed the crew to do the repairs, and felt a little sad.

Nawaki and Mitarashi Anko can use chakra to stand on the outside of the ship without fear of falling into the sea, so they are in charge of the maintenance of the outer hull. Hancock, on the other hand, after repairing the important parts, will look up ahead to check for any danger.

On the neighboring ship, the crew of the Going Merry, exhausted from a long day's work, collapsed on the deck. Roger, half-drunk because his son called someone else "Dad," was asleep in the corridor. Zoro, on the other hand, had been fast asleep since the snow began and only woke up now.

"Hey, the weather's so nice, there's no need to be so lazy. We're still on our original course, aren't we?"

Zoro, hands in his pockets, looked around at the exhausted people and said, then noticed two more people standing on the deck below his feet:

"Why are you two on our ship too?"

Luffy then explained that they were going to a place called Whiskey Peak, which happened to be the address of their town.

"But it seems we don't owe them any favors."

"But it doesn't matter."

Immediately, Zoro crouched down, revealing a wicked grin, and began to mock the two of them.

The rest of the people who were exhausted and collapsed all had a large 'well' character appear above their heads.

When Nawaki came over to ask if Nami was in the right direction, he saw that Zoro had several large bumps on his head, all of which were caused by Nami.
