288 Roger Pirates Apprentice

"But you see, Orin, Vegapunk is also a scientist of the military. He can't keep spending all his time on your matters. The government has its own plans and considerations as well."

On the other end of the Den Den Mushi, Saint Saturn's expression was utterly calm.

Face-to-face, perhaps it wouldn't have been obvious, but through the phone, his brows curved in that infuriating way that made anyone want to hit him.

It was only because he was speaking to Orin that his tone carrie...

Orin crossed his arms as he sat across from Vegapunk.

Facing the scientist's utterly horrified expression, his own face remained calm, almost as if he were lost in thought, eyes closed.

For a long while…

Vegapunk swallowed hard, seemingly waiting for Orin to say something shocking again.

But when Orin finally opened his eyes and looked at him, he said quietly,

"More importantly... it seems your island has other guests."

"???"

Vegapunk almost fell to...

"Mm... old man, why are you here?"

At Senju Tobirama's residence, Renya blearily looked up to see a figure standing before him.

When his vision cleared and he recognized who it was, wasn't it none other than that old man, Senju Tobirama?

"Didn't you promise not to nap in the afternoon?" Tobirama's face darkened as he stared at Renya, who was still half-asleep in his chair.

This kid never listens!

Renya immediately sat up, scratching his head awkwardly.

"Hah...

"Kid, don't take naps so often."

In the Hokage's office, Senju Tobirama spoke to Renya, who had come to deliver lunch.

Shimura Danzō and Sarutobi Hiruzen were helping to review documents. Hearing this, they instinctively looked toward their teacher.

Tobirama-sensei was finally going to discipline Renya, that lazy brat who loved to nap!

That guy did nothing but sleep all day—he didn't look like a powerful shinobi at all.

"Old man, are you serious?" Renya looked...

Obito ended the Tsukuyomi and returned to their own world.

"Damn you, Kiyosuke! I hope you die a miserable death!"

The moment they appeared, Obito started cursing furiously.

Kiyosuke only sneered.

"Heh. If you've got the guts, come and get me. Let's see if you can actually take me down."

Still wearing that mocking grin, Obito activated Kamui and warped himself away. Whether Black Zetsu was still watching or not, they had to keep up the act.

Uzumaki Menma lay sprawled on the water's surface after being beaten, his mind reeling. This... this was supposed to be training?!

What kind of training turns someone into this kind of monster? Was this a joke?!

How the hell did you even train like that?

A hundred push-ups? A hundred sit-ups?

Why aren't you bald yet?!

Sensing the hostile thoughts coming from Uzumaki Menma, Kiyosuke looked down at him with eyes as cold as a corpse's and said,

While the Moon Expedition Team was having a so-called "friendly exchange" with Toneri, the survival exercises of the Konoha Academy classes were also coming to an end.

"Found you, Anko-sensei."

Karin pointed toward the bush where Anko was hiding. With her confirmation, Naruto and Sasuke immediately moved to flank her from both sides.

The Uzumaki bloodline was really too troublesome.

Anko felt like crying. No matter where she tried to hide, Karin would always find her t...

Originally, Takeshi had worried that Toneri might go all out with his Tenseigan against them, but after Hizashi's reminder, he realized that Toneri currently didn't even have a Byakugan to use—and the other descendants of Hamura were all dead.

Since the enemy was weak, Takeshi showed no mercy and immediately unleashed the Five-Element: Grand Continuous Bullet Technique.

Seeing this, Hiruzen refused to be outdone and launched a Five Elements: Great Bullet Barrage Techniq...

Matatabi had been thrown high into the sky, even higher than before.

It would take a while before it fell back down.

That was more than enough time for him to deal with the people in front of him.

Especially that captain of the Explosion Corps—if he remembered correctly, Iwapō's name represented a bounty of forty-five million ryō.

And money… he really liked money.

A sly smile curved on his lips as his real body and clone charged toward Iwapō like lightning...

"Chizan, if Kokuō falls from here, it doesn't look like she'll hit the ground."

"After all, to be able to output her strength at one hundred percent, her control over her own balance is among the best between us."

"If the first place goes to Matatabi, then Kokuō would definitely be second."

"Should we think of some way?"

Roshi, with his insect-like eyes, could see farther than anyone. In his sight, Kokuō had already adjusted her balance and was preparing to land. View Post

Kaito continued his school life as usual—only now, there was No.18 in it.

Ever since that day, No.18 had grown closer and closer to Kaito. To others, the two already looked like a couple.

That day, the school had arranged a field trip to visit the Capsule Corporation. No.18 arrived early and was waiting for Kaito outside his classroom.

Even though the male students passing by all knew that No.18 was already "taken," they still couldn't help but sneak a few more glances her...

Piccolo swallowed hard and asked,

"How do we know you're telling the truth?"

Kaito shrugged, and in the next instant, he suddenly vanished from where he stood—reappearing right in front of Goku and Piccolo.

Before either of them could even react, Kaito extended two fingers and lightly tapped both of their foreheads.

All the information about Saiyans instantly flooded into their minds.

By the time they came back to their senses, Kaito had already put on a pair o...

Late at night, Senju Tobirama's laboratory.

This laboratory had been built at great expense when Renya first created it; inside were the most advanced devices and instruments of the shinobi world at the time, making experiments far more powerful and precise.

At this moment, Renya lay unconscious, his limbs tightly bound.

A thick stack of files was spread out before Senju Tobirama — all of them experimental data. He wanted to know exactly when Renya's body ...

At first, Black Zetsu didn't notice anything wrong with Renya.

It was only by accident one day that, after observing closely, it realized something about Renya's body wasn't right.

Sometimes, after Renya fell asleep at noon, he would seem to become a completely different person. His aura and behavior would undergo a complete transformation.

After secretly observing him for a long time, Black Zetsu learned that whenever Renya fell asleep, there was a chance another personalit...

Back to the point—

What could these materials ultimately be fused into?

High above the world, the frigid wind did nothing to affect Orin. Compared to flying in an airplane, this was even steadier and faster. He stood upon the clouds, gazing down at the world below.

At such heights, the cold was biting, and at times, he could even understand Imu's perspective.

Same Marines,

Yet Doll chose to believe in Orin, while Sengoku and Garp remained neutral—and there were still others who outright denied everything.

Crack, crack, crack—

Frost spread from the office, creeping all the way up the corridor. Countless Marine soldiers shouted in shock and hurriedly retreated.

Inside the office, a man wearing a Marine coat and an eyepatch across his forehead sat surrounded by an aura of frost, his expression dark and heavy.

Although Sara had lived in the royal palace all her life, the major affairs of Rōran were now handled entirely by Minister Anrokuzan.

She had no real authority to order anyone's arrest.

The citizens continued voicing their grievances and the injustices they'd suffered:

"I—I thought I was going to die…"

After all, she was a pampered princess who had lived a sheltered life since birth. Sara shivered in the Shinju's arms, her ...

"The Marines... will end the Pirate Era with this battle!"

From the other end of the Den Den Mushi came Sakazuki's voice — resolute and domineering.

Sengoku listened silently, then slowly nodded.

Indeed, this would be the final battle between the Marines and the pirates.

If they won, the last two Yonko who ruled the New World would be completely eradicated.

On a distant planet, Vegeta and Nappa exchanged glances—each seeing the same shock reflected in the other's eyes.

Nappa casually tossed aside the corpse of an alien and muttered,

"There's actually someone on Earth with a Power Level of twenty-one thousand? How could such a low-level planet have that kind of fighter?"

Vegeta's expression darkened. He slowly shook his head and replied,

The next moment, the entire match turned completely one-sided.

Ever since Lance fell down, he hadn't even touched the ball again. The whole game had become Kaito's personal show.

To be honest, Kaito wasn't really that good at basketball. But with his absurd physical abilities, even when he deliberately held back, all the others could see were afterimages of him darting across the court.

Lapis stood frozen, his mouth agape. He muttered,

Once the captains dismissed their teams, the genin were finally free to enjoy some personal time.

Coincidentally, just as Naruto and his team were leaving, they ran into Gaara's group, who had also just been dismissed.

Naruto sensed the danger and dodged at the last moment.

A masked man, appearing from nowhere and holding kunai, stood before them and said,

He looked at Naruto and said, "There's a scent in your body that repulses me. I will kill you for it!"

Uzumaki Menma stared at that face — identical to his own — and felt, from the body's aura, a deep loathing for Naruto.
