Chapter 107: Volume 2 – Chapter 9: The Origin of Ryusoken

The moment Daren lunged forward with astonishing speed, Dragon’s eyes lit up, and he moved at once.

Bang!

The two charged simultaneously, their wrists colliding with a heavy impact that sent shockwaves rippling through the air.

A perfect draw!

Without pausing, both men shifted their stances mid-air.

Fists clashed, elbows struck, a series of sharp blows echoing across the deck.

The Marines watching stood wide-eyed, holding their breath as the intense clash...

Chapter 136: Captain Examination

After the initial excitement faded, Aizen found himself contemplating a more pressing concern—Masatsuki Aozaki.

With his overwhelming talent and intelligence potentially on par with Aizen’s own, he could become an even greater threat in the future than Shigekuni Yamamoto.

But a collapsed secret chamber wasn’t enough to prove that Masatsuki had actually developed anything.

It was just as likely that he had destroyed the site to prevent his research from being discovered...

Chapter 135: Senior

12th Division, Shinigami Research and Development Institute.

The Shinigami Research and Development Institute was located within the 12th Division’s compound, a mysterious research facility nestled deep in the mountains. On the surface, it appeared as a towering white building, but its true core operations were hidden underground.

After tidying up her desk, the purple-haired woman absentmindedly ran her fingers through her long hair, her gaze fixed on the screen in front of her....

Chapter 428: Splitting Into Two Teams (Part 1)

Over the next few days, Daisuke Nakano didn’t dare entertain any ulterior motives.

He obediently followed the main force, focusing solely on traveling.

The Konoha forces marched openly through the Land of Grass without any effort to conceal their movements.

The Kusa ninja didn’t even dare to step forward, let alone question them.

They could only watch helplessly as the Konoha forces passed through as if the land were theirs.

Thus, the group made an unimpeded ...

Chapter 427: The Junior Corps?

At the break of dawn, as the sky began to lighten, the Konoha forces set out for the border under the leadership of Nawaki and Minato.

"Uncle, you have to keep your word!"

"We're not just going to sit back and watch from the rear!"

They hadn't gone far when Ginji started chattering behind Nawaki, his excitement evident. The other kids beside him also turned to look at Nawaki expectantly.

It was their first time heading to the battlefield, and they could barely contain ...

Chapter 268: A Bloodless Battle

The large bee that had taken a direct hit from the Scale Powder froze in place, then charged straight into the swarm of bees in the sky.

Its massive body became like a bulldozer—no bee could stop its rampage.

“Damn it! That trick again! My bee!”

The Kamizuru Clan ninja’s expression twisted in rage. That giant bee was his summoned beast. Even within the Kamizuru Clan, bees of that size were incredibly rare.

Now it had been bewitched by the enemy—this was a mas...

Chapter 267: The Unreliable Chōmei

"Except for the three from the Kamizuru Clan, the rest of you stay alert!"

"It looks like the old man was right—this isn’t a natural disaster at all. Someone’s deliberately stirring up trouble."

Kitsuchi's expression hardened, the muscles in his arms bulging as he shifted into a battle stance.

The other Iwa shinobi immediately drew their weapons, scanning their surroundings in an attempt to locate Kazuyama.

However, since this mission was focused on handling the ...

Chapter 134: Bankai Training

The morning was quiet in the captain’s quarters, with only Masatsuki Aozaki and Mashiro Kuna lying in bed, idly waiting for time to pass.

The two were in a state of deep contemplation, feeling like a mere drop in the vast ocean of existence, marveling at the endlessness of the world.

Strictly speaking, their state of mind was akin to that of a sage—indifferent to all external matters, focused only on the pursuit of truth.

“Seriously, I thought I’d finally get to rela...

Chapter 133: Understanding Banshō Senran

11th Division Barracks, Captain’s Quarters.

“Masatsuki, you lazy bum, time to get up.”

Masatsuki Aozaki lay in bed, holding his green-haired lover in his arms. She was soft and light, his drowsy eyes fluttering open to a familiar sight.

Floating in the air were the twin sisters, Banshō and Senran. Banshō, the older sister, was making a silly face, while Senran, the younger one, puffed up her cheeks in mock anger and poked his face.

“You two are just too cute!...

Chapter 114: What It's Like to Start a Band in the World of Jujutsu?

The final individual battle was set at Training Field No. 5—a flat, open area with no extra facilities. It was a place where victory depended solely on one's mastery of Cursed Techniques.

Sōjun Minamoto stood on the steps, not stepping onto the field himself. He simply pointed with one hand, signaling for the students to enter and experience it on their own. He remained at the edge with Masamichi Yaga, Yoshinobu Gakuganji, and Yuki Tsukumo, either sitting or standing on the surroundi...

Chapter 113: Setting Up the Venue

A few days later...

Jujutsu High resumed normal operations. Since only teachers and students were involved, the impact was minimal.

After receiving the key, Sōjun Minamoto didn’t head straight to the Forbidden Vault. Instead, he began preparing the venue for the exchange event.

The handover of the Forbidden Vault required a visit to Tengen, and the barrier relocation was a complex process—one that couldn’t risk disrupting the seal inside.

As the previous winner ...

Chapter 106: Volume 2 – Chapter 8: Sparring with Dragon

The cabin of the warship swayed with the rolling waves. The oil lamp on the table flickered softly, casting shifting light and shadow.

Daren sat cross-legged on the floor, eyes closed, while three coins hovered in the air around him, spinning and circling.

Anyone watching closely would be stunned to see just how precise the motion was—the speed, spacing, and orbit of the coins were perfectly uniform.

It was like watching three miniature satellites revolving around a single...

Chapter 105: Volume 2 – Chapter 7: See You Off

Half a day later...

Crates of supplies and provisions were being loaded onto the warship under the orders of their superiors.

Marines from Marine Headquarters were all smiles as they carried the varied supplies, creating a bustling scene. The freshest fruits, marbled dried meats, canned goods, even premium cigarettes and whiskey... For soldiers from Headquarters, it was a rare sight to witness such a well-funded Marine branch. They could feel the North Blue Marines’ warm hospita...

Chapter 426: Agreeing to Reinforcements

"I don't buy it."

Tsunade turned it over in her mind again and again, but it still didn’t sit right.

Repaying hatred with kindness?

Not a chance.

That phrase wasn’t in her vocabulary.

"Lord Kawakaze makes sense!"

Shōta carefully weighed the pros and cons and found that Kawakaze’s reasoning was flawless. To prove he wasn’t just a Hokage yes-man, he voiced his support with conviction.

"Why are you shouting?"

Tsunade shot him a look, as if...

Chapter 425: The Final Verdict

"Enter."

Tsunade didn't even lift her head at the knock on the door. With the war raging in the Land of Earth, her workload had only increased.

"Lady Hokage."

Fugaku entered alone, while two Konoha shinobi stood guard outside with Daisuke.

"Fugaku, what brings you here today?"

Tsunade looked up at the sound of his voice, her tone kind and her expression warm. Fugaku rarely visited her office.

"The situation is this: Iwagakure's Ōnoki has sent someone to as...

Chapter 266: Iwagakure's Countermeasures

The Hive Mind activated as Kazuyama Gekkō carefully examined the people before him.

Including Kitsuchi, there were fifty in total. Tsk, that's quite a number. And judging by appearances, there were quite a few Jōnin among them.

But the main concern was still Kitsuchi himself. Strength combined with Earth Release... I wonder who's better at it, him or Midori.

As he observed the Iwagakure shinobi, Kitsuchi stepped forward and began issuing orders.

"This mission is extr...

Chapter 265: Iwagakure Ninja Retreat and Counterattack

[Ding! The host has been detected wreaking havoc in the Land of Earth. Snake plagues, insect infestations—his methods are utterly heinous, yet the results are unexpectedly effective. This has led the Daimyō of the Land of Earth to pressure Iwagakure. Reward: Taijutsu +5.]

[Ding! The host's inhumane tactics against his enemies in the Land of Earth have dealt a severe and disgusting blow to Iwagakure. Tsuchikage Ōnoki is already suffering from a massive headache. Special reward: Ninju...

Chapter 104: Volume 2 – Chapter 6: Truly Vice Admiral Garp's Son

Sengoku stared at the densely packed numbers on the procurement list, unable to believe his eyes.

“This... how is this possible... I must just be too tired lately, not getting enough rest…”

“Yes, that has to be it.”

Unwilling to accept it, he removed his glasses, rubbed his eyes, and put them back on—but the numbers on the page hadn’t changed a bit.

Especially those endless strings of zeros after each figure... they made his jaw tighten.

A high-volt...

Chapter 103: Volume 2 – Chapter 5: Two People as Different as Night and Day

The fierce wind abruptly ceased—gone as quickly as it had come.

The clear blue sky reappeared overhead, and brilliant sunlight spilled down, casting a soft glow across Dragon’s face. His gentle smile felt like a spring breeze.

“Mon... Monkey... You’re Vice Admiral Garp’s...”

Tokikake stared wide-eyed at Dragon, his expression frozen in disbelief.

Of course, he knew that the famous Marine “Hero” Garp had a son holding a key position within the Navy. But ...

Chapter 132: The Soul King’s Injustice

As night fell, the 11th Division soldiers quickly returned from Rukongai to their barracks in Seireitei.

11th Division Barracks.

The entrance, resembling the grand gate of a noble estate, stood solemn and imposing. Originally, the 11th Division barracks were situated right next to the street, but after renovations, a towering white wall now separated them.

Living close to the common people wasn’t an issue, but some of Masatsuki Aozaki’s activities weren’t meant for pub...

Chapter 102: Volume 2 – Chapter 4: Rear Admiral Dragon

Branch 321, Military Hospital.

The bespectacled doctor, a refined-looking man in his fifties, was carefully examining the wounds on Daren's body.

The crisscrossing wounds had already begun to grow new pink skin. They itched slightly, but there was no more pain.

“Well, your wounds are healing nicely. Nothing serious at all. With a body like yours, you're practically a monster.”

Even after all these years of witnessing Daren’s remarkable recovery ability, Dr. Wells...

Momonga - One Piece

...

Chapter 101: Volume 2 – Chapter 3: Don’t Let Me Down

A crumpled newspaper drifted softly to the floor.

The wind from the window sent the curtains billowing, folding and swirling in the air.

Doflamingo leaned back against the soft leather sofa, one hand over his forehead, silently enjoying the breeze.

“Fufufufufu...”

The corners of his mouth lifted, and a low chuckle gradually grew louder.

“Madman... what a madman...”

“The Great Pirate Byrnndi World... he actually took him down! Fufufufufu!!”

Chapter 100: Volume 2 – Chapter 2: Apology

The laser cannon installed on the Pacifistas—had Vegapunk already developed a working prototype that quickly?

Watching Borsalino's figure as he bent forward and exited the hospital room, Daren thought to himself.

If that’s the case, then Vegapunk must have already unraveled the secret behind transferring Devil Fruit abilities.

That was an unexpected bonus.

At this point in time, the Shichibukai system hadn't been established yet, and the Pacifist prototype “Tyran...

Chapter 131: Arrogance Requires Ability

South Rukongai, District 80 – Shūrin.

Golden sunlight bathed the mountain forest, casting a sacred glow over the bloodstained land.

The morning had been overcast, yet by noon, the sky had cleared completely—as if even the heavens had acknowledged this "righteous" war.

Life-giving light poured down like a golden river, illuminating the battlefield where men clashed in combat, screams of pain echoed, and others fled in desperation.

"Kill them! Wipe out these rebels!...

Chapter 130: The Limitations of Kyōka Suigetsu

Gin Ichimaru stepped out of his quarters, glancing at the clock outside. It was already seven, yet the barracks remained silent. Skillfully, he called out to the soldier standing outside his door.

“Izumo, what time is it? Masatsuki still isn’t up? Go wake him up. Tell him to hurry and remind him about today’s business.”

“No problem. But I’m afraid the captain still won’t want to get up,” Izumo responded, bowing before heading toward the captain’s quarters.

...

Chapter 112: Exchange Meeting

After his meeting with Suguru Geto, Sōjun Minamoto returned to his usual routine.

Every morning, he would stir up negative emotions, extract Cursed Energy from them, and use it to replenish a new Cursed Energy source.

As the energy gradually accumulated, the new bottles began to resemble the originals more and more.

Sōjun Minamoto was pleased.

The growth in his Cursed Energy was visible to the naked eye, and under his perfect sensory perception, it felt even more dis...

Chapter 111: The Sect is Founded

There's always a pattern behind how things unfold. Just like with Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto—everything that happened during this time ultimately led them down two very different paths.

“Sensei, I'm strong, right?”

“Yeah... and pretty full of yourself too.”

“But I’ve realized being strong alone isn’t enough. I can only save those who actively accept help. If I want to save more people, I need more strong allies—more people who can stand on their own...”<...

Chapter 424: Finally Meeting Tsunade

With Daisuke’s departure, skirmishes between the Iwa ninja, led by Ōnoki, and the Kumo forces erupted across the battlefield.

The results remained inconclusive, much to the Third Raikage’s frustration. However, there was little he could do. The Land of Earth was Iwagakure’s home turf, and the sheer number of traps alone made life miserable for the Kumo ninja.

Though Ōnoki’s tactics had significantly slowed Kumo’s advance, he knew it wouldn’t change the final outcome ...

Chapter 423: Request for Reinforcements

“Han!!!”

Ōnoki was once again blocked by the Third Raikage, and as he watched the headless corpse fall to the ground, his anguished roar echoed across the battlefield. He wasn't sure what pained him more—Han’s death or the loss of Iwagakure’s Five-Tails.

“What a pity, it was so close.”

The Third Raikage’s gravity effect was weakening, and a smug smile crept onto his face. He was already confident that victory in this battle would ultimately belong to Kumogak...
