Chapter 49: Chapter 49: The Senju Clan is Dead?
Golden Lion Shiki was ecstatic, his mind racing with new possibilities.
Golden Lion Shiki: "So, Lucas… do you want to try it? This method of warfare has real potential!"
He grinned wildly. Forget direct combat. Why fight armies when you can simply control the islands and crush them?
Golden Lion Shiki: "If we don't even need to fight, just drop islands from the sky, who the hell can stop us? The Float-Float Fruit gives you absolute control over the battlefield. The user can fly, avoid any counterattacks, and reign down destruction from above."
He laughed.
Golden Lion Shiki: "I refuse to believe that the Marine or World Government could withstand daily island bombardments. And even if they could—do you really think the people of the world would stand for it? Imagine living your life, never knowing if your own home will be the next 'weapon' crashing down from the heavens!"
Shiki stroked his chin.
Golden Lion Shiki: "You know… if we played it right, they might even surrender before a full war starts. Hell, you could have become a World Noble or even one of the Five Elders! Shihahaha!"
Lucas: "That's way too crude a strategy. Someone like me, who has such a glorious image, would never resort to something so vulgar."
Pirate King Roger: "Wait a minute—I need to vomit."
Ding! Pirate King Roger has been muted for five minutes!
Golden Lion Shiki: "Roger, you IDIOT! Shihahaha!"
Whitebeard: "Gurarara! Enough about island-bombing—what about the newcomers? There are still three we haven't heard from yet!"
Lucas: "@First Hokage Senju Hashirama, @Second Hokage Senju Tobirama—aren't you two going to say anything?"
First Hokage, Senju Hashirama: "Hahahaha! This is incredible! I never imagined that after dying, I'd enter a place this strange!"
He paused.
First Hokage, Senju Hashirama: "Wait… Tobirama? Are you here too? You died?!"
Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama: "Brother… What is Uchiha Madara's greatest weakness?"
First Hokage, Senju Hashirama: "Huh? What's going on? What happened after I died?"
Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama: "I just need to confirm something. Also… I want to make sure this isn't some kind of genjutsu."
Lucas: "Relax, this isn't a genjutsu. Besides, Tobirama—you died fighting Kinkaku and Ginkaku of the Hidden Cloud. Last I checked, Genjutsu don't work on dead people."
Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama: "… How do you know that?"
There was suspicion in his voice. After all, he was a cautious man—paranoia was his nature.
Lucas scoffed.
Lucas: "I know a LOT of things. Not only do I know how you died, I also know that before your final battle, you appointed Sarutobi Hiruzen as the Third Hokage."
There was silence.
Tobirama's sharp mind instantly analyzed the situation. This was supposed to be an unknown world, a place he had never been. And yet, someone here knew classified events from his past.
Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama: "This makes me even more suspicious. If you are from a completely different world, then where exactly is this information coming from?"
Lucas: "That's for me to know and for you to stop wasting time questioning it."
Golden Lion Shiki: "Damn! Aren't these newbies way too cautious? That's not cool at all!"
Whitebeard: "Gurarara! Agreed. There's not a shred of manliness in him."
Lucas: "It's just who they are. These two Hokages come from a ninja world, and ninjas… Well, they live in shadows. Assassination, deception, secrecy—it's all instinctual for them."
Fire Fist Ace: "Ninja? You mean like the ones in Wano Country?"
Lucas: "No, not even close. The ones in Wano are frauds compared to these guys. The real ninjas of the Shinobi World have actual techniques. They can breathe fire, summon lightning, manipulate water, and control earth with ease."
Fire Fist Ace: "That sounds… awesome!"
Lucas: "Meh. It's alright. Their combat style is just a little flashy, but overall, they're far weaker than you."
Lucas wasn't sugarcoating anything. In terms of pure power, the Naruto world simply couldn't compare to the One Piece world—especially when it came to endurance, stamina, and raw destructive capability.
First Hokage, Senju Hashirama: "Hey, hey, hey! That's going too far! You make it sound like ninjas are weaklings!"
Lucas: "I'm just stating facts. Hashirama, as the God of Shinobi, you were one of the strongest figures in your world. But here, in the world of pirates, your power would only be at the level of an Admiral."
First Hokage, Senju Hashirama: "Admiral? How strong is that?"
Lucas: "An Admiral is one of the strongest warriors in this world. But unlike your world, where someone as powerful as you only appears once in a thousand years, here? There are multiple warriors at your level in every era."
Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama: "… I don't believe you."
Lucas: "Of course you don't. You're naturally suspicious."
First Hokage, Senju Hashirama frowned. "Wait—are you insulting my brother?"
Lucas: "Not insulting—just stating the obvious. Tobirama was an overly cautious, control-obsessed manipulator. His policies directly led to the downfall of the Uchiha Clan."
First Hokage, Senju Hashirama: "What?!"
Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama: "Hah! The Uchiha clan was always arrogant and self-destructive. If they perished, it was only a matter of time."
Lucas grinned. "Oh? Then you must already know that your Senju Clan is also extinct."
The chat went silent.
Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama: "… What did you say?"
His voice was deadly cold.
