"Toshiro, is that the Uchiha Gunbai? Wasn't it thought to be lost after the Valley of the End incident? And… your clone just now, did it come from—"
Uchiha Nako's eyes fixated on the legendary weapon in Toshiro's hand, while Uchiha Izuna's expression darkened with nostalgia.
Especially Izuna—his gaze flickered coldly toward the First and Second Hokage standing across from them.
He knew this gunbai well. His elder brother had wielded it countless times in battle against...

At the entrance to Arlong’s domain, the waters were littered with the wreckage of the 77th Division’s warship. The Fish-Men had made quick work of the navy’s forces, sinking their vessel with ease before returning to their stronghold to celebrate.
Seated at the head of the park, Arlong himself had not even participated in the skirmish. Instead, he had sent only three of his officers to deal with the invading fleet.
Their commander, Commodore Pudding, had led the assault pers...

"First and foremost, I once promised that Madara would become Hokage, yet in the end, due to various considerations, I failed to uphold that promise. Given the circumstances, it is only reasonable that Toshiro assume the position now."
Not only did the First Hokage acknowledge this, but even the Third Hokage and the others remained silent, offering no objections. It was clear they had anticipated this demand, and their previous proposal had been nothing more than to find the bottom line...

"Bastard! Let go of our captain!"
A sudden roar came from behind as Gin, the "Demon" and Iron Wall Pearl, the commander of Krieg’s second division, charged at Jack in a desperate attempt to save their Captain.
"Tekkai!"
Bang!
Jack didn’t flinch. Gin’s twin tonfas struck him directly, but instead of causing damage, the impact rang out like metal striking steel.
"Is that guy even human?" Sanji muttered in disbelief, his mouth hanging open as he watch...

"I can see the color drain from your face right now, Sarutobi…" Toshiro continued mockingly.
"I'll bring Shisui back right now…" Saying this, he created a shadow clone and let the clone bring Shisui, who was resting at a hiding place in the Water Country, using the Hiraishin.
"You know the Hiraishin too…!!" asked Tobirama, surprised. 'The Hiraishin is not an easy jutsu to master and requires high fuinjutsu knowledge and even his own notes. How could this brat who looks j...

Upon discovering Zeff’s true identity, Krieg immediately demanded his logbook from the Grand Line. Naturally, Zeff refused, and tensions escalated. Meanwhile, as Krieg distributed food to his subordinates, Gin recounted their harrowing experience in the Grand Line. He revealed that their massive fleet of 50 ships had been utterly annihilated—not by an armada, but by a single man.
Luffy and the others were stunned. Zeff and Zoro, however, had their suspicions—there was only one swo...

"Report to the Captain Jack—Captain Smoker has been contacted!" The comms officer rushed over to Jack, panting heavily.
Jack exhaled sharply, suppressing the fury simmering beneath his calm exterior. "Tell me—who’s responsible for this atrocity?"
“The Krieg Pirates,” came Smoker’s grim voice through the Den Den Mushi. “I don’t know the exact reason, but shortly after I took over operations in Loguetown, I received reports that the island had been attacked. By the t...

Jack was no longer the man he used to be. A bounty of over 10 million wasn’t enough to warrant him running around the East Blue anymore. His plan was simple—head to Loguetown, catch up with Smoker, and then return to his hometown. As a captain of the Navy Headquarters, he had the authority to establish a naval base there, which would help him better protect the villagers.
If he happened to cross paths with any notorious pirates on his way back, he wouldn’t mind taking them down. A...

With a sneer, Toshiro dismissed the Sandaime, stating that if he failed to meet his expectations next time, he would not spare the Sandaime or the Sarutobi clan.
"Since you've already chosen to stand against me, there's no need for mercy!"

From a distance, Jiraiya and the others observed the tense exchange between the Sandaime and Toshiro, hesitant to approach. Yet, even from afar, the situation filled them with unease and...

At the time, Jack was on a mission at sea, so his casual meeting with Ace was inevitably noticed by several marines. Upon his return to headquarters, Sengoku summoned Jack for questioning.
Jack made no attempt to hide the truth. He openly recounted how he encountered Ace in East Blue and how he ended up at the Navy Headquarters. Sengoku, after listening, simply waved him off with a warning to avoid any further associations with pirates.
Jack suspected that Sengoku had long been aw...

Two years later, at the Naval Headquarters:
"Send word to Captain Jack that the seastone he requested has arrived," a petty officer instructed a nearby marine while tallying the inventory.

Soon, all the marines, except for Jack, gathered at the center of the town, where the bodies of the villagers had been piled. The scene was somber as the marines silently carried the corpses, arranging them with care and covering them with white cloth.

Hina was about to give the order when a voice interrupted her. “Wait!” Jack strode into t...

The only way to suppress Izanagi in Danzo’s eye was if Toshiro's Mangekyō Sharingan had evolved to an even higher level.
And… that eye technique…
"Rather than worrying about that, Shodaime, you should focus on how this ends!"
Unlike the Second Hokage, who was completely under Toshiro’s control, the First Hokage’s immense strength granted him a degree of autonomy. However, under the combined suppression of Toshiro’s Sage Art and his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, e...

Jack couldn't help but feel that Hina’s decisive response was exactly what one would expect from an exceptional naval commander. Upon discovering the pirates' plans, she immediately devised a strategy to counteract them.
"You all return the way we came and head straight back to the warship. I’ll head to the coastline and keep watch on the pirates. I’m taking the phone bug with me to ensure I can stay in direct contact with Captain Hina," Jack instructed his team firmly after endin...

Hina studied him for a moment, then nodded. "That will depend on the situation."
Pleased with his apparent sense of justice and confidence in his abilities, Hina felt reassured. With Jack on the team, their mission’s success seemed all but guaranteed. Besides, as the commanding officer, she would still receive the lion’s share of the credit for capturing the infamous pirate.
As the warship drew closer to the island, Hina refrained from launching a direct attack. Instead, she d...

The following day, Jack reported to Commodore Brannew. The moment he laid eyes on the green-haired officer, he froze for a moment—not out of intimidation, but because he recognized him.
Though Jack hadn’t known his name before, Brannew was a familiar face from the anime he had watched. This was the very officer who chaired the meeting to determine Luffy's first bounty. Among marine fans, Brannew had even earned the nickname "Meeting King" for being the Navy’s official secretary.

Faced with Captain Stalin's question, Jack nodded and responded in a calm yet confident tone: “Yes, sir. Given my strength, I felt that continuing the standard training alongside everyone else wouldn’t be very effective. So, I requested to train independently. The instructor agreed but said I needed to prove my strength first. He allowed me to skip the physical training if I managed to defeat him.”
Captain Stalin nodded thoughtfully, appreciating Jack’s logical approach. Still, ...

"Haha, boy, take it all in. This is where you'll be living from now on!" Garp said cheerfully, giving Jack a hearty pat on the shoulder.
"So, Vice Admiral, what am I supposed to do now?" Jack asked helplessly, turning to Garp.
The soldiers from the ship had already dispersed to their respective assignments or homes, leaving Jack s...

When Vice Admiral Garp's warship arrived at Loguetown, Smoker and the naval base personnel assembled formally to greet him at the port. Jack and Ace, however, waited a short distance away, observing the proceedings.
The warship docked, and Garp disembarked with his adjutant, exuding an imposing aura. For a moment, Jack couldn't help but look on with admiration.
"Salute! Welcome, Vice Admiral Garp!" one of Smoker’s adjutants announced with enthusiasm.

"It's a strength training skill book," Jack muttered, a trace of disappointment in his voice. What he needed most was an intermediate mental training skill book. If he'd gotten that, he could have saved his diamonds. Now, it seemed, a trip to the store was unavoidable.
"Use the intermediate strength training skill book!" he commanded. There were no flashes of colorful light, no grand celestial phenomena. After using the book, Jack simply felt a subtle yet noticeable increase in his phys...

Smoker dismissed Jack’s inaction, focusing entirely on his intense clash with Ace. Though Smoker’s experience and precision initially overwhelmed him, Ace used the opportunity to practice and refine his newfound powers against a capable opponent like Smoker.
Meanwhile, Jack stood to the side, observing the battle without any intention of intervening. Tashigi, however, seemed restless, her eagerness to join the fray evident as she commanded the marines to surround the battlefield.

"Huh? What's this?" Ace muttered, staring curiously at the spherical fruit in his hand. Its orange-yellow skin was adorned with a swirling pattern that seemed almost otherworldly.
Ace furrowed his brow, trying to piece together how he ended up with the fruit. He’d only been on the island for two days. On the first day, he’d visited the infamous execution platform where the Pirate King, Roger, met his end. Then, he’d spent the rest of his time resting—well, resting and dealing wi...

A few days later, at the Loguetown naval base:
“Is that the pirate hunter who’s become so famous in town lately? I heard he absolutely despises pirates,” a young marine murmured, eyeing Jack as he dragged a bounty criminal into the base like a lifeless sack of cargo.
His friend nodded cautiously before pulling him aside, clearly reluctant to get too close to Jack. “Yeah, let’s steer clear. Lately, whenever we’ve crossed paths with him during missions, he’s treated us...

"I'm a friend of Ace. I came to say hello," Jack replied with a calm smile, though a glint of nervousness flickered in his eyes.
Meanwhile, the two pirate slaves onboard with him were p...

On the other side, Jack, now sporting a swollen face resembling a pig’s head, mumbled something incoherent, “#*%¥#@…”
Yes, their "greeting" had escalated into a brief scuffle, and despite Jack landing the first blow, he had been thoroughly defeated. The price? A comically swollen face that spoke volumes about his loss...

After dealing with the pirates, Jack returned to his cabin. He had instructed the village chief to keep his involvement a secret—unnecessary attention would only complicate things. Life was simpler this way, and he preferred to keep it that way.
"Congratulations on defeating the Creek Pirates' Captain. You have gained 50 experience points."
"Level up achieved! You’ve earned 5 free attribute points and 1 skill point."

“The villagers?” The captain sneered. “I kept those ingrates alive to serve us, but it seems they’ve forgotten their place. Round them up! Search every corner, and...

“Well, well, kid. Didn’t think you’d still be alive. Since you’ve managed to cheat death, it’s time for this month’s protection fee!” A pirate swaggered in, a menacing grin on his face and a large knife slung casually over his shoulder. The pirate was about 6 feet and a bit on the round side with a scruffy beard and a bandana covering his hair.
