Even Kong, usually unflappable, couldn’t remain indifferent to the Pure Gold—the legendary treasure rumored to slow aging.
“No. What Tsuru-chan means is…Arthur was there, too, when we encountered the anglerfish,” Garp clarified, his usual bluntness evident.
“And we fought inside the anglerfish. He has some kind of power that neutralizes my attacks. I couldn’t capture him. And I don’t know if he took the Pure Gold.”

With Bokue having spoken up, no matter how unwilling Kuroka felt, she could only let the two girls enter.
Thus, one minute later, Irina and Xenovia found themselves seated on the living room sofa, with three steaming cups of tea placed neatly on the table in front of them.
"Please enjoy, you two."
Kuroka, who had sat herself down gracefully on a nearby single sofa, smilingly gestured at the tea.
Naturally, she had prepared this tea herself.
Rather than constantly...

Meanwhile, as spring gave way to summer and the weather gradually grew hotter, the eagerly-awaited summer vacation finally arrived.

On the day the final exam scores were released, after distributing the class results, the homeroom teacher stepped onto the podium and swiftly ...

Six years passed, marking the approximate start of the original storyline.
The Konoha 10 had graduated from the Ninja Academy. Why ten, not twelve? Because Hinata was in the Land of Whirlpools, and Neji Hyūga was now in Kirigakure.
Shin knew the plot should be starting, but he wasn't interested. He was currently busy complaining about the System's stinginess.

Odin didn't hold back against the Devils either, continuing his verbal assault.
He fired off insults indiscriminately, roasting almost everyone present. I couldn't help but feel my eye twitch.
This Odin's mouth was like a machine gun, just rattling on and on. Everyone in the hall had dark lines forming on their foreheads.

As a former member of the Sun Pirates, who had even been captured by Kizaru and imprisoned in Impel Down, Arlong certainly knew what that power was—Armament Haki.
A power rarely seen even in the first half of the Grand Line.
And—it was terrifyingly strong!

In the Occult Research Club at Kuoh Academy, Bokue Keikain, having just arrived with Asia, stares silently at the two Holy Sword wielders—one with orange hair, the other with blue—seated on the sofa, his expression pensive.

In the blink of an eye, the clock struck 6 o'clock the next morning.
Inside the quiet hotel suite, gentle early summer sunlight filtered faintly through the curtains. As usual, Xenovia opened her eyes before the alarm even rang.
As the Church's ace Holy Sword wielder, it was rare for her to sleep until the alarm went off.
Usually, it was so. Today, even more so.
A faint exhaustion lingered after yesterday's battle.

The Chunin Exam quarterfinals continued.
The second match to conclude was between Otogakure's Kidōmaru and Kumogakure's Omoi.
Omoi, whose face bore a striking resemblance to the arms dealer Koko Hekmatyar's bodyguard Jonah, wore an expression of bitter defeat.
He specialized in kenjutsu, typically aiming to disable an opponent's arms before attacking their legs. Crippling all four limbs—that was Omoi'...

A brilliant, Golden Light erupted, momentarily eclipsing even Arthur’s own Electric Aura, illuminating the laboratory as if it were midday.

At the same time, inside a hotel double suite.
