I Need Rest

Chapter 399: Mother Carmel

For the first time in decades of ruling the seas, Kaido found himself at a loss.

He didn’t know how to choose in this situation.

If he chose death, he would be resurrected by the demon in front of him and turned into a mindless puppet.

But if he surrendered… he couldn’t!

He was one of the Four Emperors!

In this world, there were only Emperors who died standing—none who lived on their knees.

The room fell into an eerie silence.

Suddenly, a blac...

Chapter 398: After Death

Time flew by, and three days had passed.

More than 10,000 ninjas had gathered in the Flower Capital, with the rest distributed across various cities in Wano Country.

Their tasks included maintaining order and hunting down any remaining threats.

In the future, once the situation stabilized, Colt planned to bring in administrative talents to transform Wano Country comprehensively.

These days, the Flower Capital was bustling with activity.

At all hours, captives wer...

Chapter 397: Yamato and Enel

While Wano Country was engulfed in flames, Colt led Hinata and the others to the Flower Capital, as if nothing was wrong.

Upon seeing the city for the first time, the girls were awestruck.

“What a beautiful city!” Hinata exclaimed, her eyes wide with wonder.

“And the sea of flowers… It’s breathtaking! You must be so happy to live here,” Ino added, her voice filled with admiration.

She, who had a deep fascination with flowers, let out a delighted scream and ...

Chapter 396: Night Guy

Kaido, the man known as one of the Four Emperors, stood tall at fifty-seven years old.

Once a member of the infamous Rocks Pirates, he had carved out a fearsome reputation across the seas.

The World Government and Morgans had bestowed upon him the title of the "Strongest Creature in the World," a name that had spread far and wide.

His indomitable will to survive and his near-immortality were thanks to the Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit he had consumed—the Uo-Uo no Mi, Mode...

Chapter 395: Kaguya makes a move!

In the depths of Onigashima, the two Emperors of the Sea, Kaido and Big Mom, sat across from each other.

Their alliance was uneasy, each harboring their own ulterior motives.

"Kaido, I’m here to help you this time. So, tell me, what’s the plan?" Big Mom asked, her voice dripping with false sweetness.

Kaido snorted, taking a swig from his massive flagon of sake.

"Plan? I’ll provoke Uchiha Madara first, lure him out of the Flower Capital, and then find an opening t...

Chapter 394: Hot-Blooded Might Guy

Kaido had always been meticulous in managing Wano Country.

No matter which region, a large number of Beasts Pirates members were stationed, and factories were established everywhere.

This was because Wano Country was the world’s primary exporter of seastone, a resource renowned across the globe.

Wano’s craftsmen were unparalleled, capable of crafting seastone into pieces as small as a nail and adjusting its concentration to meet various needs.

To maximize efficienc...

Chapter 393: Pure Land?

After Colt finished speaking, the scene first fell into a strange silence, and then erupted into sky-high cheers.

"For Colt-sama! For ninjas!"

"Occupy Wano Country! Dominate the world!"

"War! Where Colt-sama points his blade, we shall follow!"

The crowd’s breathing grew heavy, their eyes glowing redder than the Sharingan, as they eagerly anticipated finding a samurai to fight, ready to show them what a true ninja was capable of!

With a single order, the ninjas ...

Chapter 392: I Need A War!

Wano Country, Kuri.

The weather was exceptionally clear today. The blue sky was dotted with a few leisurely white clouds, and a handful of seagulls flew by, leaving behind their droppings as a rather unwelcome souvenir.

Wano Country’s geographical location was incredibly unique, resembling a natural war fortress. The entire nation was surrounded by towering cliffs and cascading waterfalls, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. This terrain had even posed a significan...

Chapter 391: Gazing upon the Earth

Outside the forest surrounding Konohagakure lies a vast plain.

The 11,000-strong ninja coalition has assembled, their hushed conversations filling the air with a low, constant buzz.

Towering over the gathering was the Eight-Tails, Gyūki, standing silently behind Raikage A. Gyūki was prepared to venture into the New World, intent on earning enough merit points to revive Killer Bee.

The existence of another world was no longer a secret in the ninja world.

For many shin...

Chapter 390: Oden? Yamato?

“Damn you, Fourth Raikage! Do you think everyone here is an idiot?”

“I can provide 5,000 Iwagakure ninjas as vanguards, so you don’t have to risk your precious people from Kumogakure. How about that then?”

Ōnoki, an old ally of the Fourth Raikage, stood with arms crossed, pointing at the Raikage and scolding him unapologetically.

His fiery tone carried a hint of mischief, but the point was clear—he wasn’t backing down.

“You!”

The Fourth Raikage...

Chapter 389: The Ninja Coalition Forces Gather Again!

Colt decided not to have Sasuke hand over the Dark Fruit.

Instead, he ordered him to keep it.

The seas could be chaotic, but not too chaotic.

The Summit War was the perfect opportunity Colt had been waiting for—a time when the combined forces of the World Government, pirates, and the Revolutionary Army could be obliterated.

A decisive battle of such magnitude couldn’t happen yet.

Blackbeard’s as a pawn—oh, that card needed to be played at the right moment...

Chapter 388: It’s time!

The order from Sengoku was swiftly relayed to Sabaody Archipelago, where Sentomaru and his contingent of Marines moved to surround Bartholomew Kuma. The situation was tense, but to everyone’s astonishment, Kuma offered no resistance.

Without a word, he calmly allowed himself to be restrained with seastone cuffs, the shimmering material neutralizing his formidable Devil Fruit abilities.

Shackled and subdued, Kuma was escorted to a waiting Marine warship. The sight of the once-mig...

Chapter 387: Sengoku is furious, again!

Sasuke had been observing Fujitora for some time. Ever since he gathered intelligence about the enigmatic Admiral, an intense desire had stirred within him. Testing his abilities against Fujitora promised more than just a thrilling challenge—it was an opportunity to explore the uncharted depths of his own power.

Sasuke’s Six Tomoe Rinnegan granted him unparalleled control over force fields, a skill that seemed to harmonize intriguingly with Fujitora's gravity-based techniques.

Chapter 386: The Blind Swordsman

Flames surged forward, scorching the ground as they raced toward Kizaru.

The heat was so intense that the grass turned to ash, and the air shimmered as moisture evaporated.

Kizaru, ever composed, transformed into golden light, effortlessly dodging Ace's fiery attack.

He reappeared a short distance away, unharmed, as though the assault had never happened.

Meanwhile, Luffy was abruptly yanked from danger by an unseen force and landed beside Ace.

Relieved, Usopp and...

Chapter 385: Brothers Meet Again!

“Nico Robin?”

The name echoed as several voices spoke in unison, a mix of surprise and curiosity.

Shakky, ever composed, smiled knowingly as she confirmed their suspicions.

“Yes, Nico Robin. The infamous ‘Devil Child.’ At just eight years old, she had a bounty of 79 million berries as the sole survivor of Ohara. She’s as much a living legend as she is a target for the World Government.”

Shakky paused, watching the group’s shocked expressions before cont...

Chapter 384: Two Emperors Form an Alliance

"Okay, you have my word."

Charlotte Linlin, widely feared as Big Mom, found herself ensnared by Kaido’s cunning plan and her own insatiable ambitions. Her towering presence belied a sharp mind that sought profit at every turn. She agreed to form an alliance with Kaido under specific terms: Wanokuni would belong to Kaido, Uchiha Madara would be hers, and Kaido would provide the Big Mom Pirates with a monthly shipment of seastone for free.

By these terms, Linlin was undoubtedly th...

Chapter 383: A Child with Uchiha Madara?

In Totto Land, the clear skies turned ominously dark as thunderclouds swirled above.

A massive serpentine figure streaked through the air amidst flashes of lightning, heading straight for Cake Island.

Katakuri stood on high alert, his Observation Haki sensing an overwhelming presence rapidly closing in.

His expression was grim.

"This... it's Kaido of the Beasts. What's he doing here?"

His words sent shockwaves through the gathered siblings.

The very mention...

Chapter 382: A Wild Robin

On Enies Lobby, Spandam lay unconscious beneath a pile of dislodged rubble, a pitiful figure amidst the chaos consuming the island. Around him, soldiers fled in every direction, abandoning their posts as the shadow of the impending Buster Call loomed over them.

In the shadows, unnoticed by the panicked masses, Robin made her move.

From the ground erupted an enormous arm, thicker and taller than a house, shimmering with the ominous black sheen of [Armament Haki]. The sheer size and...

Chapter 381: Rejecting Hancock

Time flies so rapidly.

A dilapidated sea train sped through the stormy seas from the capital of Water 7 toward Enies Lobby, its wheels screeching as if echoing the crew’s unease.

The atmosphere onboard was tense and somber.

Zoro sat cross-legged, diligently cleaning his sword with a quiet determination, his movements methodical and precise.

Across from him, Sanji smoked cigarette after cigarette, the faint glow of the embers illuminating his sharp features in the dim...

Chapter 380: Shukaku's Ridicule

Alabasta, Rainbase.
Outside the desert, Luffy lay battered and bloodied, his body covered in deep scars.

From a distance, he seemed like a figure made entirely of blood, unmoving yet defiant even in defeat.

Not far away from him, Crocodile stood upright, breathing steadily, though his clothes were slightly tattered. However, his expression was anything but calm. His fists trembled at his sides, and his narrowed eyes darted toward the unconscious boy with a mix ...

Chapter 379: Learn to compromise

Among other things, Colt had a mastery of pretension at a level akin to the Six Paths.

Even someone as stoic as Hawkeye found himself unconsciously affected—it was terrifying.

Hawkeye no longer had the strength to respond to Colt's praise.

His face was pale, and beads of sweat dripped continuously.

Everything he had just experienced felt real; both his body and soul bore the brunt of significant damage.

At this point, Hawkeye no longer doubted Colt's identity.<...

Chapter 378: Hawkeye’s Limits!

When Colt was in LogueTown, Smoker had inadvertently become a beneficiary of his teachings, learning the fundamentals of his Devil Fruit powers and its weakness.

Although their encounter was accidental, it didn’t stop Colt from leaving a mark—something that would later play a critical role.

Colt’s ambition to control the world meant facing barriers like the Revolutionary Army and Dragon, hurdles he had long anticipated.

The other Revolutionary Army cadres could easily ...

Chapter 377: Trap

If the Marines’ enemy was pirates, then the enemy of the World Government was the Revolutionary Army.

This was not a matter of equal strength but a battle of ideologies.

No matter how much pirates disrupted the seas, burned, looted, and plundered, they could not fundamentally shake the dominance or status of the World Government.

Pirates remain unorganized and undisciplined thieves, often fighting among themselves.

Through measures like checks and balances, the World...

Chapter 376: LogueTown

To what extent had the World Government been infiltrated by Colt?

The extent can only be described as terrifying.

For the past two years, all intelligence the Five Elders and the Marines received about Colt’s location was entirely fabricated.

The Flying Feather arriving at Fish-Men Island in such a high-profile manner left the World Government utterly unaware.

Any information about it that might have leaked only reached "their own people."

In Ryug...

Chapter 375: True Justice!

After bidding farewell to Redfoot Zeff, Sanji officially joined the Straw Hat Pirates as their chef.

His decision to follow his dreams rather than stay at the Baratie brought a newfound energy to the crew.

The excitement of gaining a new member quickly dispelled the lingering gloom from Zoro’s earlier defeat by Dracule Mihawk.

Laughter echoed across the deck as they set sail once again, their bond strengthened by the addition of Sanji.

Sanji’s formidable combat ski...

Chapter 374: Hawkeye's Expectation

Although Hawkeye walked away with his usual composed demeanor, doubts lingered in his mind.

As a close friend of the red-haired Shanks, he naturally recognized the straw hat perched atop Luffy’s head.

Shanks had mentioned Luffy to him once, albeit vaguely, hinting at the young man’s potential.

To be honest, Hawkeye couldn’t see what was so special about Luffy that Shanks valued him so highly. Were they both equally reckless?

The thought crossed Mihawk’s mind be...

Chapter 373: Don't Forget the Bet

The wheels of fate had begun turning, unstoppable in their motion.

And this time, in the distant New World, a mysterious force fanned the flames, shifting destinies and adding complexity to an already chaotic path.

****

In the tranquil waters of East Blue, Monkey D. Luffy, now 18, stood at the helm of his newfound ship, a straw hat perched confidently on his head.

With his departure from Windmill Village, he took the first step toward his ultimate dream: becoming the...

Chapter 372: Luffy Goes to Sea

Carrot was a rabbit person, or to be precise, a member of the Mink Tribe of the rabbit species.

Even more specifically, she was a bunny-eared lady with a stunning figure and a lithe body.

For two years, the only "mission" Colt took seriously was to find someone like her.

Almost like owning a pet companion.

After learning from his earlier missteps, Colt was more cautious this time—he didn't want to end up raising another troublemaker like Ichibi.

The ideal pet c...

Chapter 371: Two Years

The passage of time was relentless, and in the blink of an eye, two years had gone by.

In those two years, the world had finally entered a period of relative calm.

The chaos and upheavals that once dominated have given way to an uneasy peace.

While there were no earth-shattering events like before, some significant occurrences shaped this time.

****

The World Government, eager to uncover Kisame’s secrets, made repeated attempts to extract information.

How...

Chapter 370: Red-Haired Shanks

Despite the shock of the situation, duty called.

Onigumo exclaimed excitedly, "Admiral Aokiji, Admiral Golden Fox, Whitebeard, and Uchiha Sasuke are seriously injured now. This is our best chance to capture them!"

"With two Admiral-level combatants, we might completely wipe out the Whitebeard Pirates today!"

Naruto’s face changed slightly.

He instinctively wanted to refuse but found no suitable excuse.

After all, it truly was the perfect opportunity to take dow...
