Chapter 140
"Moshi moshi…" Marco was tied up on the ground, speaking bitterly:
"It's me, Marco. Pass the Den Den Mushi to Oyaji."
At this moment, Suigetsu was squatting beside him, curiously fiddling with the Den Den Mushi:
"How can such a small creature transmit messages across such a long distance? I've never heard of this back in Kirigakure."
Marco's mouth twitched as he said, "Suigetsu-dono, could you please put the Den Den Mushi near my mouth?"
But Suigetsu ignored him and spoke into the Mushi curiously:
"Hello hello, is anyone listening on the other side!?"
"Who are you!?"
A voice filled with overwhelming pressure came from the other end.
Suigetsu was startled. "Menma-dono, this little snail really talks… so amazing."
Naruto was sitting on the throne of Ryugu Palace, smiling as he said,
"That's nothing. There are plenty of amazing things here. One day, I'll take you to see the islands ten thousand meters above the sky."
"Wow!"
Suigetsu exclaimed in amazement.
Islands existed beneath the sea, which was already incredible to him. But islands ten thousand meters above the sky!?
Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Izumi, and the others also showed astonished expressions.
They had never imagined that such wondrous places existed beyond the sea, like an entirely new world.
"Shisui, Kimimaro, are you two done?" Naruto turned towards them.
Shisui bowed respectfully. "It's done. All the soldiers in Ryugu Palace have been subdued."
Naruto nodded with satisfaction.
With this, he now had his own territory in the Pirate World.
Not only could he subdue strong pirates here, but he could also use it as a base to train ninjas from the Shinobi World.
"I can't wait to see the expressions on Sarutobi and Danzo's faces when I return to Konoha with these guys…"
A faint smile curved Naruto's lips.
Neptune's face was dark as he gritted his teeth and said,
"Uzumaki Naruto-dono, Fishman Island is under Whitebeard's protection…"
"Still saying such things?" Naruto turned to him coldly. "If I truly go to war with the Whitebeard Pirates, do you really think Fishman Island would survive?"
As Naruto spoke, a primordial beast-like roar echoed from outside Ryugu Palace.
Neptune's face turned pale instantly. He didn't even need to look back to know it was that sea king, roaring outside.
Earlier, he had no idea what Naruto did, but the mountain-sized Sanbi Isobu had appeared outside Ryugu Palace.
He knew well how terrifying that creature's power was.
If it released that black sphere attack, half of Fishman Island would be obliterated.
Naruto ignored Neptune and turned to Nami with a smile:
"Nami, are you satisfied with this result?"
At this moment, Nami was sitting excitedly atop a 'mountain of gold,' counting the treasures she had taken from Ryugu Palace.
Hearing his words, she nodded vigorously, glaring at Neptune with hatred:
"Thank you, Menma-dono. Next, I will make them experience what Cocoyashi Village went through… to let them know who is the inferior race."
Neptune's face turned even whiter.
Naruto merely smiled. "Alright then, I'll leave Fishman Island under your management. I'll make sure Sanbi listens to your orders."
"Wow!" Nami gasped in surprise, her eyes lighting up as she threw herself into Naruto's arms:
"Thank you so much, Menma-dono!"
She had seen Sanbi's terrifying power with her own eyes. With that sea king under her command, she could walk unhindered across the world.
While Naruto and the others were talking, on the other side of Suigetsu's Den Den Mushi, a figure roared furiously:
"Brat, who are you!? What happened to Marco!? Are you trying to make an enemy out of me!?"
The voice carried rage and overwhelming pressure.
But Suigetsu remained completely unfazed, holding the Den Den Mushi as he replied indifferently,
"Oi old man, what are you yelling for? You think I'd be afraid of you!?"
New World, somewhere at sea.
On the Moby Dick, the flagship of the Whitebeard Pirates, Whitebeard himself was already seething with rage. His overwhelming Haoshoku Haki (Conqueror's Haki) erupted uncontrollably.
The expanding power shattered his chair, and cracks spread across the deck beneath him.
The air grew so heavy with pressure it was suffocating.
Ordinary pirates on the deck turned pale with terror. Just sensing Whitebeard's wrathful aura was enough to make them unable to breathe.
"This… this is the first time I've seen Oyaji this angry…" one pirate said shakily before collapsing onto the deck.
He wasn't the first to faint, nor would he be the last.
The deck was already littered with the unconscious bodies of pirates.
"To enrage Oyaji to this extent… even his Haoshoku Haki is out of control…" The Fifth Division Commander, Vista, the Flower Sword, spoke solemnly before shouting,
"All those who can't withstand it, retreat immediately! Oyaji's Haoshoku Haki isn't something you can endure!"
Diamond Jozu gritted his teeth. "That's Marco's Den Den Mushi. He went to Fishman Island. Did something happen to him too?"
The Sixth Division Commander, cursed angrily. "It must be that bastard Teach… he must've colluded with the Marines!"
The Seventh Division Commander, spoke painfully. "Marco… even he was killed? He's the immortal phoenix with the Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Phoenix…"
All the other commanders showed grief in their eyes.
To them, Marco's silence meant something terrible had happened. Perhaps he had already died on Fishman Island.
"You bastard!!!" Whitebeard roared furiously into the Den Den Mushi:
"I am Whitebeard!!!"
As he shouted, he swung his powerful right arm and punched the air, causing cracks to splinter through the atmosphere.
Crack crack crack…
The immense shockwave impacted the sea below.
The entire ocean trembled violently, massive tsunamis hundreds of meters high rising up, rocking the fleet to its core.
"You brat, hurry and pass me the Den Den Mushi!"
Marco's face turned purple as he desperately squirmed, trying to grab the Den Den Mushi back.
This was the first time he had seen such an arrogant brat, daring to provoke the strongest man on the sea through a mere Den Den Mushi.
Just hearing his voice, Marco knew Oyaji was at his absolute limit of fury.
"Che, it's just some old man, isn't it?" Suigetsu clicked his tongue dismissively, tossing the Den Den Mushi in his hand as he said casually,
"When I meet him, I'll have to teach him a lesson."
Having spent only a few hours in the Pirate World, he already understood his own advantage.
In this world full of oceans, his Hydrification Technique made him nearly invincible, far stronger than in the Shinobi World.
Naruto glanced at him strangely.
"Suigetsu, let me remind you… that old monster you're talking to can take down ten Sanbi by himself."
Suigetsu: "..."
