Chapter 51: Chapter 51: Do You Have Enough Physical Strength?
First Hokage, Senju Hashirama: "These two… they're absolute monsters! Their power might even rival mine!"
The reason why his Wood Release was so dominant in the ninja world was its sheer scale—his abilities could reshape landscapes in a single move. When he fought, he didn't just battle his enemies; he buried them under forests, mountains, and seas of chakra-infused trees. His overwhelming technique exhausted his enemies before they could even touch him.
But now…
He was seeing two warriors like himself.
Aokiji had transformed the entire battlefield into an icy wasteland, freezing not only the ground but the very air itself. His presence alone made the temperature plummet to deadly levels. Meanwhile, Akainu stood wreathed in magma, the very ground beneath him bubbling and melting as if he had summoned the power of a volcano itself.
Their battle had already torn the island in half, creating a permanent divide between fire and ice.
Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama: "This level of elemental power is… beyond reason. The sheer scale of it! Even the most skilled ninja who could manipulate lava or ice could never produce something of this magnitude."
Lucas: "Welcome to the top level of the pirate world. Each of these guys is on par with your so-called God of Shinobi. You still don't believe me? Then hand me your world pass so I can come to the ninja world and prove it firsthand."
Golden Lion Shiki: "Wait—what?! A world pass?! You mean to tell me there's something that lets you travel between different world?!"
First Hokage, Senju Hashirama: "Uh… actually, I do have something like that. It came with my abilities—Sage Body, Wood Release, and a bunch of other things."
Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama: "I believe you now—this isn't a genjutsu. But I can't give you the pass yet."
Lucas: "Tch. What a hassle."
Pirate King Roger laughed. "No, wait! I still don't get all this ninja talk! Family feuds, Konoha, Uchiha, Senju… it's too complicated!"
Lucas: "Fine, I'll simplify it for you: It's basically a tragic love story between two obsessive brothers, two overprotective brothers, and a pair of best friends with unresolved issues."
Pirate King Roger: "HAHAHAHA! Now that makes sense! So funny!"
Whitebeard: "Gurarara! I have to admit, this explanation is way more interesting than before."
First Hokage, Senju Hashirama: "YOU BASTARDS—!"
Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama:. "Ahem! Isn't there one more newcomer? I'd like to get to know him. And honestly… I don't know much about you either."
Lucas: "Ah, right. The last newcomer… @Howard Stark, are you a friend of Captain America?"
Howard Stark: "Not bad! The group leader is knowledgeable and perceptive—I'm impressed."
Lucas: "Then do you believe me?"
Howard Stark: "Of course! The world is full of wonders. Just because something is beyond our understanding doesn't mean it's not real. Denying the unknown is the mark of a fool."
Lucas: "Smart answer. I suppose it was the Cosmic Cube that first changed your view of the universe?"
Howard Stark: "Yes! Once I learned about the Cosmic Cube, I realized that science alone isn't the only path to knowledge."
Golden Lion Shiki: "WHAT THE HELL are you two talking about?! I don't understand a damn thing! What kind of world do you newcomers come from?!"
Lucas: "Howard comes from a world that blends science and mythology. But his expertise lies in science. To put it in terms you'll understand—his genius is on par with Vegapunk."
The chat exploded.
Golden Lion Shiki: "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! Vegapunk's intelligence is said to be 500 years ahead of the world! You're saying this new guy is on that level?!"
Whitebeard: "Gurarara! Intelligence like that deserves respect, even if he's not a fighter."
Fire Fist Ace: "Vegapunk, the guy who created the Pacifistas? The World Government is betting on his research to replace the Seven Warlords! If Howard is on that level, then he's a legend!"
Fisher Tiger: "Could he build a Pacifista?"
Howard Stark: "What's a Pacifista?"
Lucas: "A type of cyborg that uses clones as its base, equipped with laser weaponry and advanced AI combat systems. Extremely powerful."
Howard Stark: "A fully mechanized super soldier? Interesting… I haven't worked with cybernetics much, but if I had access to a prototype, I could reverse-engineer the technology."
Lucas: "Really? I'll find you one and later we can research it together"
Lucas glanced at Akainu and Aokiji, still locked in their brutal duel. He then scanned the surroundings—and found something amusing.
A warship floated in a nearby sea water, where Garp and Kizaru were sitting on deck, casually drinking tea.
Lucas scoffed. "Of course. It's a life-or-death duel for the Fleet Admiral position, so the Marine made sure to protect their own."
He shook his head, muttering to himself, "Great job, guys. Really."
First Hokage, Senju Hashirama: "Wait, you're leaving? Why not keep watching?"
Lucas: "There's no point. This fight is going to last days."
Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama: "Days?! That's insane! Can their chakra—no, their stamina—really last that long?!"
Lucas: "You're still thinking like a ninja. You need to start thinking like a pirate. Battles here don't just last for hours—they last for days, sometimes even weeks."
Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama: "That's ridiculous. Their bodies should have collapsed from exhaustion!"
