[Chat Group For The Death] Chapter 151 - 155

Chapter 151: Otsutsuki Tsukihiko’s Decision!

Konoha Prison.

Hyuga Hiashi arrived with a group of Hyuga clan ninjas, making his way to the cells where the Fourth Raikage and his subordinates were imprisoned.

The Fourth Raikage scoffed when he saw them. "What, another attempt to persuade me?" His sharp gaze swept over the group before settling on Hiashi. "Hyuga, huh? I don’t think we’re particularly well acquainted."

Over the past few days, either Yugito Nii herself or others had come to try and convince him to surrender. He was already used to it.

Hiashi smiled faintly. "Not familiar, are we? Back then, you sent envoys to Konoha with the intent to seize the Byakugan, framed our clan, and ultimately forced my younger brother, Hyuga Hizashi, to his death."

The Fourth Raikage's eyes flickered in realization. "Ah, now I remember. That did happen. So, is Konoha playing the 'tragic past' card now?" His lips curled into a sneer, assuming they were here to guilt-trip him over past transgressions.

Hiashi’s expression remained composed. "Playing a tragedy card?" he echoed with a chuckle. "I’m just curious—do you even recognize the sins you've committed?"

The Fourth Raikage remained defiant, his voice filled with conviction. "I have no regrets! Everything I did was for the growth of the Cloud Shinobi Village, and I take pride in all of it."

Hiashi nodded slightly. "I see. Well, whether you feel remorse or not is irrelevant. It won't change the fact that today, I will personally beat you to death."

The Fourth Raikage’s smirk faltered for a moment before he let out a mocking laugh. "You? Do you even have the guts?"

Hiashi’s smile widened. "Fourth Raikage, do you still believe Konoha is the same as it was in the past? Let me enlighten you—you and your men have all been sentenced to death."

Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!

Hiashi’s eyes sharpened as he activated his Byakugan. His chakra surged, gathering into his palms as he launched a relentless barrage of Gentle Fist strikes.

Even with his formidable physique, the Fourth Raikage couldn't withstand the precision of the Hyuga clan's technique. Each strike sent bursts of chakra into his body, ravaging his internal organs and meridians. Blood seeped from his mouth as pain wracked his body.

Yet, even in agony, he forced out a scoff. "You didn’t kill me outright? I take it you still don’t have the resolve."

Hiashi’s tone was cold. "No, that would be too merciful. You made me watch my brother die—I will make you suffer the same pain."

The Fourth Raikage’s expression finally shifted. "What… What are you planning?"

Hiashi’s gaze was eerily calm. "Didn’t I just tell you? Those who refuse to surrender have all been sentenced to death. But I am giving you a parting gift—I’ll execute your people first, one by one, until you're the last one left."

The Fourth Raikage’s eyes widened in shock. "Impossible! You wouldn’t dare!"

For the first time, panic seeped into his voice. Was this really Konoha?

Yes, he had been shaken by Lucas’ overwhelming strength when Cloud Shinobi Village fell. A part of him had even considered surrendering. But after days in captivity, being subjected to constant persuasion, his ingrained arrogance had resurfaced.

Unfortunately for him, times had changed. Lucas had no intention of indulging him, and his strength and decisiveness far exceeded the Raikage’s expectations.

And so, Hyuga Hiashi carried out his vengeance. He personally oversaw the execution of the Fourth Raikage and his loyalists, watching with satisfaction as the once-mighty Raikage clan, the ruling lineage of Cloud Shinobi Village, was wiped from history.

Hyuga Clan Compound.

Upon returning home, Hiashi immediately sensed something was wrong. The atmosphere was eerily quiet.

Where was everyone?

A figure with pale white eyes suddenly appeared before him, wearing a knowing smile. "Hyuga Hiashi, you’ve finally returned."

Hiashi’s expression hardened, his body tensing for battle. "Who are you?"

The man bore the unmistakable features of the Hyuga clan—Byakugan, and notably, an unmarked forehead.

The stranger’s smile deepened. "Ōtsutsuki Tsukihiko. Hyuga Hiashi, we are both descendants of Ōtsutsuki Hamura, the younger brother of the Sage of Six Paths." [*Tl:Toneri father, since Toneri is way too young at this time]

His gaze was filled with superiority. "I heard that your Hyuga clan has also divided itself into a main and branch family? Compared to us, the true lineage that remained on the moon, you are nothing more than a branch house."

Hiashi remained composed but wary. "You didn’t come all this way just to boast, did you?"

Tsukihiko chuckled. "Of course not. I’ve come to ask for your cooperation—to fulfill our ancestors’ ambition. This rotten world, built upon the ideals of the Sage of Six Paths, must be destroyed so that a perfect new world can be created."

Hiashi’s expression remained neutral, but his words were laced with mockery. "Destroy the world? You must be mistaken. Even if you somehow overcame Lord Lucas, this world is far from rotten. It’s improving."

Tsukihiko’s face darkened. "Nonsense! That outsider resurrected the Ten Tails and became its Jinchūriki! Everything he does accelerates this world’s decay. It must be destroyed!"

Among the Ōtsutsuki clan in the moon, a severe conflict had broken out over their stance toward the ninja world. Some believed they should use the Tenseigan to obliterate it and rebuild anew, while others thought interference was unnecessary.

In the end, the radicals won. They sacrificed their own eyes to merge them into a great Tenseigan, leaving their numbers dangerously low. By Tsukihiko’s generation, their once-proud lineage had nearly dwindled to extinction.

Through the Great Tenseigan, the Ōtsutsuki clan could vaguely observe the ninja world. Though their perception was hazy, one presence stood out like a blazing sun in the dead of night—Lucas.

His chakra was so immense and overwhelming that anyone with even a trace of sensory ability could easily detect him. When Ōtsutsuki Tsukihiko learned of Lucas' actions, an unsettling fear took root in his heart.

If Lucas truly was improving the ninja world, then what had the Ōtsutsuki clan sacrificed for?

It was as if their struggles, their losses, and their ultimate goal had become nothing but a joke. This thought gnawed at Tsukihiko, making him abandon his original plan to wait for his son to mature. Instead, he took action himself—descending to the ninja world to capture Hyuga Hiashi and his two daughters.

Tracking Lucas was simple. The man never concealed his chakra fluctuations, making him easy to locate. However, Tsukihiko also discovered something else—there were times when Lucas’ chakra signature would completely vanish from the ninja world.

This revelation led Tsukihiko to a chilling conclusion.

Lucas had the ability to travel to other planets.

This realization strengthened Tsukihiko’s resolve. If Lucas truly had the means to leave, then there was hope. So long as he was not present, their plan to destroy the world could still succeed.

Because if Lucas remained in the ninja world, no matter how powerful the Tenseigan was, Tsukihiko knew he wouldn’t stand a chance. Even the Moon’s ancient weapon, the one designed to destroy the world, wasn’t something he was confident could withstand Lucas’ power.

But if Lucas left—if he went somewhere else—their goal could still be achieved.

Moreover, there was another reason for Tsukihiko’s urgency, one that made him abandon waiting for his son’s growth.

Lucas was actively reshaping the ninja world.

If he invested too much into it, its destruction would impact him deeply. And if Lucas lost control in his rage, anyone connected to the ninja world would perish with it.

Thus, Tsukihiko made his move.

"Come with me."

Tsukihiko’s voice was calm, almost amused, as his Byakugan shone with an eerie azure glow. It was the power of the Tenseigan, temporarily granted to him through the energy of the Great Tenseigan.

Hiashi barely had a moment to react before his vision blurred. His daughters, Hyuga Hinata and Hyuga Hanabi, stepped forward with vacant expressions, their movements stiff and unnatural. They had been completely subdued by the Tenseigan’s power.

Tsukihiko seized the three of them and vanished in an instant.

At that time, Lucas had already left for the Pirate World, taking Senju Tobirama and Orochimaru with him. Namikaze Minato had gone to Kusagajure Village, and Hōzuki Gengetsu had taken Jiraiya to Iwagakure.

Though Konoha still had Tsunade and several elite Jōnin, their sensory abilities weren’t sharp enough to detect Tsukihiko’s presence.

And so, no one in Konoha realized what had just transpired.

In the Chat Group.

Namikaze Minato: "I've infiltrated Kusagakure and uncovered some of their secrets. Many small and mid-sized villages are conspiring to use relics from the Sage of Six Paths era against us."

Lucas: "The Box of Bliss? Ignore it. That so-called weapon is nothing more than overhyped nonsense. Let them be. In fact, let them gather all their opposition against me. That way, I can deal with them in one fell swoop."

Senju Hashirama: "Minato, did you come across any Uzumaki survivors in Kusagakure?"

Namikaze Minato:: "Yes, I did. There’s a mother and daughter barely surviving there. The mother has a unique physique that allows her chakra to be absorbed for healing, so the villagers have been using her as a living medical battery."

Senju Hashirama: "Damn it! That’s barbaric! Draining someone's life force to sustain themselves?!"

Uchiha Madara: "That’s the reality for ninjas who have no village to protect them. It’s the price of weakness—one that has always existed in this world."

Lucas: "Don’t worry. This kind of exploitation will cease to exist in the future. @Hōzuki Gengetsu, did you find your descendants?"

Hōzuki Gengetsu: "Yes, I did. That kid’s had a miserable time. The researchers in Iwagakure have been experimenting on him because of our clan’s secret techniques. I’m taking him with me to clean up Iwagakure—he’s going to get some real training along the way."

In the ninja world, Hōzuki Gengetsu stood before his descendant, Hōzuki Suigetsu, his expression filled with disappointment and frustration.

"My Hōzuki clan has so many powerful water techniques, and yet you're obsessed with collecting some useless swords?!"

His voice was sharp as he scolded the younger ninja.

"From now on, you're forbidden from using swords. Focus on mastering water jutsu instead!"

Chapter 152: If You're Not Satisfied, Chop It Off and Replace It!

Pirate World

In a massive research facility, Lucas, Senju Tobirama, Vinsmoke Judge, Caesar Clown, Orochimaru, and several other scientists had gathered to study Senju Hashirama’s cells.

Caesar, holding an experimental report in his hand, couldn’t help but marvel. "This genetic sequence is incredible. The energy contained in these cells is beyond anything I’ve ever studied. Sir Lucas, where did you even get these cells?"

Vinsmoke Judge examined his own report, his eyes gleaming with fascination. "I’ve analyzed the lineage factors of countless races while developing the best combat suits. These cells belong to an ordinary human—at least, genetically speaking. But their arrangement is completely different from that of a regular person."

Initially, Judge had been forced by Lucas to work here as a scientist and was resentful of his situation. However, after spending some time in the lab, he found himself genuinely enjoying the research. Since he had no choice but to comply, he decided to embrace it.

And honestly… it wasn’t bad at all.

Caesar shook his head. "These cells remind me of Kaido’s in some ways. They possess incredible regenerative properties and can multiply endlessly. But they can't be used for cloning—at least not in a way that allows them to develop into a full human."

Judge nodded in agreement. "Their strength is their biggest weakness. These cells are so powerful and aggressive that forming them into a whole organism is nearly impossible."

He elaborated, using an analogy: "Think of cells as individuals, and cloning as forming an army. If the cells are like ordinary civilians, it's easy to train them into soldiers. A bit of discipline, some incentives, and high-pressure training will do the trick."

"But these cells?" He chuckled. "They’re more like a group of unruly warlords—strong, independent, and impossible to control. You can’t form an army out of them unless you have overwhelming power to break their will."

Lucas smirked. "Like how Rocks tried to gather powerful individuals into one crew… only to end up with constant infighting instead of a disciplined force?"

Judge nodded. "Exactly. That’s why even Uchiha Madara could only fuse with Senju Hashirama’s cells through sheer force of will. His immense spiritual power allowed him to suppress their resistance, but even then, the cells still reacted strongly—enough to imprint Hashirama’s face onto his body."

Lucas laughed. "So you’re saying cloning is out of the question? So what? I never asked you to create clones."

His gaze swept over the group. "What I need you to do is understand the genetic sequence of these cells and find a way to induce the same transformation in ordinary human genes using external stimuli."

Caesar groaned. "That’s a massive undertaking. It won’t be something we can complete quickly."

Lucas raised an eyebrow. "Since when have you ever completed a project quickly? Which one of your experiments was ever finished on time?"

Caesar opened his mouth to argue but found himself at a loss for words. Lucas had a point.

Tobirama smirked. "I’ll leave some of my Shadow Clones here to assist you. Work hard."

Lucas added, "And in the near future, I’ll bring you someone else to help—Dr. Vegapunk, the so-called smartest scientist in the world."

Caesar nearly jumped. "Vegapunk?!"

Lucas turned his gaze toward him. "Something wrong with that?"

Caesar immediately straightened up, his face stiff. "No… no complaints at all!"

Lucas shook his head. "Good. Accept reality—he’s simply better than you. Stop wasting time on petty schemes and focus on your research."

With that, Lucas left Shadow Clones behind to manage the research team, while his real body departed the laboratory.

Some Time Later – Another Research Facility

Lucas led Crocodile, Diamond Jozu, Aokiji, and Black Arm Zephyr into a state-of-the-art laboratory filled with advanced scientific equipment.

Jozu glanced around, a faint unease creeping into his expression. "Lord Lucas… why did you bring us here?"

Lucas looked over the four men, then shook his head. "Looking at the four of you, you should already have an idea why you're here."

Zephyr chuckled. "I think I get it. Aside from our strength, we don’t have much in common—except for one thing."

Aokiji let out a lazy sigh. "Hahaha… that’s right. All four of us are missing an arm or a leg. You didn’t drag us here just to remind us of that, did you?"

Lucas smirked. "Not quite. I brought you here because I have two solutions to restore your missing limbs."

Aokiji’s interest was piqued. "Two options?"

Lucas nodded. "First, we can clone your missing limbs using your own cells. Second, we can use a different type of cell—one with unique properties."

Aokiji tilted his head. "If we use our own cells, will the new limb be exactly the same as before?"

Lucas shook his head. "No. Your cells are strong, but they need to be weakened before they can form a complete limb. If not, the regeneration process will be unstable."

Zephyr sighed. "Vegapunk tried something similar before, but he abandoned the idea because it was too difficult."

Lucas smirked. "That problem has already been solved. The weakened cells can successfully form limbs. Once attached, they’ll function just like your original limbs. The only downside is that, at first, they won’t be as strong as before."

Crocodile frowned. "So, we’d have to train the new limb to regain its former strength?"

Lucas nodded. "Exactly. But with your abilities, it won’t take long."

Aokiji shrugged. "That’s not bad. Even if it’s weaker at first, I can just reinforce it with Armament Haki." He grinned. "I’ve gotten used to using ice as a leg… but not having an arm has been annoying."

Zephyr, however, narrowed his eyes. "Hold on. You said there was a second option. What’s the deal with these 'other' cells?"

Lucas’ smirk deepened. "Good question. This second type of cell won’t make your limbs as strong as your original body, but it has its own advantages—including immense vitality and the ability to manipulate trees."

Lucas explained, "Limbs created from these cells may seem weak at first—even ordinary people can injure them. However, their regenerative ability is extraordinary. Not only do they heal quickly, but this resilience can also extend to the rest of your body."

Diamond Jozu’s eyes lit up. "So if I replace my missing arm with this, even if my leg gets injured, the vitality from my new arm could help heal it?"

Lucas nodded. "Exactly."

Crocodile narrowed his eyes. "What about the ability to manipulate trees?"

Lucas smirked. "Think of it like a Devil Fruit ability—it allows you to control and manipulate wood."

Crocodile grinned. "An extra ability? Sounds good to me. I’ll take this special cell."

Lucas raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure? You don’t want a limb made from your own cells instead?"

Crocodile tapped his golden hook where his hand used to be. "I’m used to fighting this way. As long as I can cover my new hand with Haki, it won’t affect my combat style."

Zephyr crossed his arms and laughed. "Wood Style cells, huh? I’ll take them too. I never liked how heavy my seastone prosthetic was, but I don’t mind wearing a seastone glove. The strength of the palm isn’t too important as long as it’s protected."

Aokiji shrugged. "I’ll choose Wood Style cells as well. My combat style relies mostly on my Devil Fruit abilities anyway. I don’t use my legs much, and I’ve gotten used to fighting with ice replacements. I don’t care much about the ability to manipulate wood, but the enhanced resilience is useful."

Jozu nodded in agreement. "Same here. Since I’m a Paramecia-type diamond fruit user, the strength of my new arm won’t matter as much. I can reinforce it just like the rest of my body."

Lucas was a bit surprised that all four of them chose Senju Hashirama’s cells over their own. Meanwhile, in the chat group, Senju Hashirama himself was even more shocked.

In the Chat Group

Senju Hashirama: "My Wood Style cells are that good? Even these guys, who barely understand them, want them?"

Uchiha Madara: "Hashirama, do you really not know how valuable your cells are, or are you just pretending? Your cells are one of the most precious resources in the entire ninja world."

Whitebeard: "I’m honestly surprised they all chose Wood Style cells without hesitation."

Sebastian Shaw: "You’re thinking about it the wrong way. From their perspective, this choice is completely reasonable."

Howard Stark: "Exactly. People are naturally drawn to new and exciting things, and they love experimenting. For them, swapping out an arm or a leg isn’t that big of a deal. If they don’t like the new limb, they can always replace it again!"

Hōzuki Gengetsu: "Damn… that actually makes sense! They’ve already lost a body part once, so they probably don’t feel too attached to it anymore. Changing limbs again isn’t a big deal to them."

Whitebeard: "Lucas, are you really planning to steal Vegapunk? That guy is practically the World Government’s most valuable asset!"

Golden Lion Shiki: "Shihahaha! So, does this mean the group leader is about to start a war with the World Government?"

Doflamingo: "Fufufufu~ Can’t hold back anymore, huh? Planning to overthrow the World Government and take its place?"

Lucas: "Not at all. I’m not interested in fighting them right now. My priority is getting Vegapunk. At most, I’ll teach them a lesson if they get in my way."

Sword God Ryuma: "Ah, I see. You’re upgrading your people’s combat effectiveness in preparation for future battles, correct?"

Lucas: "That’s right. Speaking of which, there’s something important I need to tell you all—I’m planning to bring you back."

Whitebeard: "..."

Sword God Ryuma: "..."

Golden Lion Shiki: "..."

Lucas: "You’re all wasted just sitting in this chat group. I’ve decided to reincarnate you into a new world so you can continue to shine. I understand that some of you don’t want to interfere in the world you originally belonged to, so I came up with a solution—world replacement."

Senju Hashirama: "World replacement?"

Lucas: "Exactly. Hashirama, you don’t want to interfere in the ninja world, right? Then I’ll reincarnate you into the Pirate World, where you’ll have no ties or conflicts with your past. Since no one there knows you, you’ll be free to act however you like."

Pirate King Roger: "That’s an amazing idea! I want to go to the ninja world and see what it’s like! There must be plenty of thrilling adventures there!"

Whitebeard: "I have no problem reincarnating into the ninja world. Ace, what do you think?"

Fire Fist Ace: "Sounds good to me!"

Pirate King Roger: "..."

Lucas: "I know where Whitebeard and Ace’s graves are, but what about Golden Lion and Roger?"

Golden Lion Shiki: "I died in Impel Down. The World Government probably kept my body."

Roger: "I was executed in Loguetown, so they likely took my body as well."

Lucas: "Then it looks like a clash with the World Government is inevitable. Whether it’s for Vegapunk or for your bodies, there’s no avoiding it."

Sword God Ryuma: "My body was buried in Wano, but later stolen. Can you find enough remains to reincarnate me?"

Lucas: "I’ll do my best."

Kariya Matou: "If you reincarnate me, can you send me to my own world?"

Tohsaka Tokiomi: "No way! Kariya, don’t even think about it!"

Howard Stark: "It’s not true resurrection, it’s Edo Tensei-style reincarnation. You’d basically be a living corpse. You wouldn’t be… well, normal."

Kariya Matou: "I don’t care. As long as I can watch over them silently, that’s enough."

Howard Stark: "…You really are something else."

Lucas: "Your world? That actually works out for me. I need someone in the chat group to keep an eye on that world anyway—especially to notify me when the Holy Grail War begins."

Namikaze Minato: "Sir, have you already set out to deal with the World Government?"

Lucas: "Not yet."

Namikaze Minato: "That’s good, because something urgent just came up. I just returned to Konoha with two Uzumaki survivors when I heard that Hyuga Hiashi and his two daughters have suddenly disappeared."

Chapter 153: Two Kinds of Eyes, Equally Powerful!

Hyuga Hiashi and His Two Daughters Have Disappeared?

Lucas was slightly taken aback when he saw Minato’s message in the chat group. But it didn’t take long for him to figure out the culprit.

It was the Ōtsutsuki clan on the moon.

Lucas: "I have a pretty good idea of what’s going on. I’ll head back and take care of it right away."

Namikaze Minato: "You knew this would happen?"

Lucas: "In the original future, Hyuga Hiashi’s daughters were supposed to be kidnapped, but not now—this was meant to happen more than ten years later."

Senju Tobirama: "So your actions have pushed them to move ahead of schedule."

Lucas: "Exactly. They weren’t a priority for me, so I planned to deal with them later. But since they made their move first, I see no reason to let them live any longer."

Whitebeard: "Group leader, reincarnate me first! Since there are enemies in the ninja world, I’ll go and deal with them. I could use the exercise."

Lucas: "You? Not to look down on you, but you might not be their match."

Whitebeard frowned. "What?! Group leader, don’t underestimate me!"

Lucas shrugged. "I’m not underestimating you—I’m stating facts. But if you don’t believe me, you can try for yourself."

Whitebeard laughed heartily. "Fine! Let me see what they’re made of."

Lucas left a clone behind to continue dealing with Zephyr and the others while his real body headed to the graves of Whitebeard and Fire Fist Ace. Gathering their corpse, he returned to the ninja world and reincarnated them both.

Whitebeard flexed his fingers, testing his newly revived body. "Huh… this doesn’t feel the same as when I was alive."

Ace looked down at his palm, flames flickering to life. "My Mera-Mera no Mi powers are still here? That’s unexpected!"

Lucas smirked. "What’s so surprising? Remember, when Nagato was revived with Edo Tensei, he still had Rinnegan and all its abilities."

In the chat group, Uchiha Madara’s eyes narrowed.

Uchiha Madara: "Wait… if Uzumaki Nagato dies and is resurrected, does he still have the Rinnegan?"

Lucas: "Yes. It happened in the original future. He not only retained his Rinnegan but also all its abilities."

Howard Stark: "Interesting. So theoretically, if we keep transplanting Rinnegan into people, kill them, and resurrect them with Edo Tensei… we could create an army of Rinnegan users?"

Senju Hashirama: "That’s a horrifying thought!"

Howard Stark: "Relax, it’s just a theory. But it does open up some possibilities."

Lucas: "True. If necessary, I’d consider this method. After all, there are plenty of powerful dead warriors in the Pirate World. Might as well put them to good use."

Namikaze Minato: "Group leader, who took the Hyuga family? No one in Konoha even noticed it happening."

Lucas: "Remember when I told you about the Sage of Six Paths’ younger brother, Ōtsutsuki Hamura? He passed down his Byakugan to his descendants, which became both the Hyuga clan and the Ōtsutsuki clan."

Hōzuki Gengetsu: "Ugh, the Ōtsutsuki clan again? So it was them who kidnapped Hiashi’s family?"

Uchiha Madara: "I’ve never heard of an Ōtsutsuki clan living in the ninja world. Where are they hiding?"

Lucas: "They were left behind by Hamura to guard Kaguya. They live near the Gedo Statue—on the moon."

Senju Tobirama: "On the moon?! No wonder we never heard of them! But why kidnap Hyuga Hiashi?"

Lucas: "Because the body of an Ōtsutsuki and the eyes of a Hyuga can be combined to create a Tenseigan—a dojutsu as powerful as the Rinnegan."

Uchiha Madara: "What?! A Tenseigan is on par with Rinnegan? And all it takes is combining the bodies of two bloodlines?"

Senju Tobirama: "That seems way easier than obtaining Rinnegan. You need both Indra and Asura’s chakra, plus the power of the Sage of Six Paths, to awaken a Rinnegan. Why is this so much simpler?"

Lucas: "Because while the Tenseigan is as powerful as Rinnegan, it has two major weaknesses. First, it can’t control the Gedo Statue or become a Ten Tails Jinchūriki, which limits its potential. Second, its pupil power is finite—once it’s exhausted, it reverts to an ordinary Byakugan. It lacks the long-term endurance of a Rinnegan."

Uchiha Madara: "I see… that makes me feel better."

Whitebeard: "Gu ra ra ra! If that’s the case, then these moon people aren’t anything to fear. Let me show you how I’ll crush them, group leader. You underestimated me before!"

Lucas: "Talk is cheap. You’ll see soon enough."

Lucas, Whitebeard, and Fire Fist Ace soared into the sky, quickly reaching the moon where the Ōtsutsuki clan had built their massive fortress.

As soon as they arrived, Ōtsutsuki Tsukihiko sensed their presence and his expression darkened.

"Damn it!"

He hadn’t even had time to transplant the Hyuga clan’s Byakugan into himself. Seeing Lucas and two powerful warriors descending upon them filled him with regret.

I shouldn’t have acted so hastily!

Even worse, something didn’t add up. He was certain that Lucas had left the ninja world, so how did he return so quickly?

And how had he found them so fast?

Tsukihiko’s face twisted in disbelief.

"Does Lucas have the ability to see everything?!"

Gritting his teeth, he knew there was no turning back now.

"No choice… I’ll have to fight!"

Ōtsutsuki Tsukihiko sighed, realizing there was no turning back now. He had only one option—to see his plan through to the bitter end.

Forming seals with his hands, he channeled the power of the Great Tenseigan, merging its energy with his body. A massive eye, glowing with overwhelming pupil power, floated above his head as he rose into the sky, leaving the Ōtsutsuki compound behind to confront Lucas and his allies.

Whitebeard looked up, momentarily stunned by the sight of the gigantic, glowing eye hovering behind Tsukihiko. He frowned and asked, "What the hell is that?"

Lucas smirked. "That’s the Great Tenseigan, created by merging countless Byakugan into a single entity. Unlike the Tenseigan that fits in an eye socket, this one has unlimited pupil power."

Whitebeard burst into laughter. "Gu ra ra ra! Group leader, is this why you thought I wasn’t strong enough? Let me tell you—this oversized eyeball means nothing to me!"

Without hesitation, Whitebeard charged forward, his fist crackling as the power of the Gura Gura no Mi and Armament Haki fused together. He suddenly leaped into the air, throwing a devastating punch directly at Tsukihiko.

"Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!" [Ginrin Tensei Baku]

Without a word, Tsukihiko activated one of Tenseigan’s unique techniques. A Truth-Seeking Ball, glowing faint green, materialized beside him and rapidly spun into a tornado-like spear, launching toward Whitebeard.

BOOM!

Whitebeard’s punch collided with the tornado spear, the force shattering the air itself. Cracks spread through space, and an invisible shockwave surged forward in retaliation.

However, after a brief stalemate, the tornado spear pierced through the fractured air—sending Whitebeard flying backward.

"Dad!"

Fire Fist Ace, enraged by what he saw, transformed into pure flames, rushing toward Tsukihiko with his fist ablaze.

"Fire Fist!"

Tsukihiko remained indifferent, raising a hand as an invisible repulsive force exploded from his body, blowing away Ace’s flames effortlessly.

"Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!" [Kinrin Tensei Baku]

Tsukihiko’s expression turned cold as his Truth-Seeking Balls aligned in front of him, merging together into a golden energy blade that stretched across the sky. The attack was so sharp and concentrated that it seemed to cut reality itself.

In one swift motion, he slashed downward—aiming directly at Ace.

"Ace!"

Whitebeard appeared beside Ace, both of them attempting to resist the golden energy slash together. But despite their combined power, they were completely overwhelmed.

The golden blade cut through them like butter, sending them both crashing toward the surface of the moon.

CRACK—BOOM!

The entire moon trembled as the Tenseigan's golden energy wave split it in half, sending shockwaves rippling through space.

Inside the chat group, everyone was left speechless.

Golden Lion Shiki: "What the hell?! This isn’t a joke, right? Whitebeard got taken out in one move—and the moon itself got split in half?!"

Gold Thief Woonan: "No wonder the group leader said Whitebeard wasn’t strong enough. Now I see why."

Sword God Ryuma: "This level of power is beyond anything we could ever achieve. No amount of training could bring us to this level."

Senju Tobirama: "Group leader, are you sure Rinnegan is on the same level as Tenseigan? Because from what I’m seeing, Tenseigan seems far stronger!"

Lucas: "Rinnegan and Tenseigan may appear different in execution, but they are equally powerful. However, their approaches to power are different. Tenseigan’s strength is more straightforward and destructive, while Rinnegan’s abilities are more diverse and strategic."

Pirate King Roger: "So Six Paths-level strength… that means it’s way beyond the Admirals and Yonko of the Pirate World?"

Namikaze Minato: "Uzumaki Nagato also had Rinnegan, but he never displayed power like this. Why?"

Lucas: "Because Nagato never fully mastered the Rinnegan. Those weren’t even his original eyes."

Namikaze Minato: "So, if he had fully mastered them, could he do something like this?"

Lucas: "Not exactly. As I said, Rinnegan isn’t about brute force. If Nagato had perfected his control, he wouldn’t have split moons, but he would have been able to unleash unique pupil techniques that could be just as terrifying in different ways."

Uchiha Shisui: "Isn’t Rinnegan’s pupil technique what Nagato already used?"

Lucas: "Not exactly. Take Mangekyō Sharingan, for example—it grants various abilities like illusions, prediction, and Susanoo, but those aren’t unique pupil techniques. Each Mangekyō Sharingan has its own special ability, like Kotoamatsukami or Kamui."

Uchiha Madara: "Exactly! My Rinnegan had a special ability—Limbo: Hengoku!"

Senju Hashirama: "Limbo? What does it do?"

Uchiha Madara: "It allows me to create four invisible clones, each as strong as myself. These clones exist between the real and illusory world, making them undetectable and practically invincible to anyone who hasn’t reached Six Paths-level power."

Senju Hashirama: "That’s it? Just four clones?"

Lucas: "These aren’t ordinary clones! Without Six Paths-level power, no one can even perceive them. Even you, Hashirama, wouldn’t be able to detect them if they were next to you."

Senju Hashirama: "That’s terrifying… so you’re saying an opponent wouldn’t even realize they were being attacked by multiple clones?"

Senju Tobirama: "That means anyone below Six Paths level would be helplessly slaughtered, and even those at Six Paths level would be forced into a one vs. five situation."

Uchiha Madara: "That’s right. While Tenseigan may have raw destructive power, Rinnegan’s strength lies in its complexity."

One was pure destruction.

The other was deceptive and unstoppable.

Two powerful eyes, each unmatched in its own way.

Chapter 154: Your Weapon is Good, Now It Belongs to Me!

The moon was split in half by Ōtsutsuki Tsukihiko’s Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, and its shattered fragments began falling toward the ninja world.

Inside the chat group—

Namikaze Minato: "@Lucas, the moon isn’t really going to fall… right? I just saw it start descending!"

Lucas: "Relax, I’ve got this. @Lancelot, hand over your [Knight of Owner: A Knight Does Not Die with Empty Hands]."

Lancelot: "…Why?"

Lucas: "Because I can summon your Dumb King. Are you sure you don’t want to cooperate?"

Lancelot: "…Fine. Using my King to threaten me—despicable! But I have no choice."

Though unwilling, Lancelot couldn’t find a way to refuse. In the end, he sent his [Knight of Owner: A Knight Does Not Die with Empty Hands ] to Lucas.

Ding!

Lancelot has sent an exclusive red envelope (Knight of Owner: A Knight Does Not Die with Empty Hands ) to Group Leader Lucas.

The moment Lucas accepted the skill, his body shot forward at lightning speed, instantly closing the distance to Ōtsutsuki Tsukihiko.

"Courting death!"

Ōtsutsuki Tsukihiko's expression twisted into madness as he prepared to unleash another Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion.

Snap!

Lucas raised his right hand with ease, catching Tsukihiko’s wrist mid-swing, instantly stopping the golden wheel’s momentum.

At the same time, his left hand stretched out toward the massive Tenseigan floating mid-air. Activating [Knight of Owner: A Knight Does Not Die with Empty Hands], he seized control.

"Your weapon is good, but once I touch it, it’s mine."

The moment Lucas laid his hand on the Tenseigan, it was no longer Tsukihiko’s. The overwhelming power that had been blessing him disappeared in an instant.

"What… what have you done?!"

Ōtsutsuki Tsukihiko’s face paled in sheer horror as his greatest source of power was stripped away.

Lucas smirked. "I need a test subject for my experiments. A lunatic like you is just perfect."

Before Tsukihiko could react, Lucas activated a Rinnegan genjutsu, knocking him unconscious. He then grabbed the fallen Ōtsutsuki and tossed him to Whitebeard, who was watching from a distance.

With that done, Lucas moved inside the Ōtsutsuki Clan’s building, where he found Hyuga Hiashi, his two daughters, and Ōtsutsuki Toneri—all under the influence of a controlling technique.

Since Ōtsutsuki Toneri had been born without eyes, Rinnegan genjutsu wouldn’t work on him. Lucas had no choice but to knock him out with brute force.

"Let’s go."

Floating the unconscious captives with the Tenseigan’s power, Lucas carried them along with Whitebeard, guiding them back toward the ninja world—while the shattered moon fragments fell toward the surface.

Meanwhile, back in Konoha, Namikaze Minato stood in the Hokage’s office, staring out his window at the massive meteorite looming in the sky.

Inside the chat group—

Namikaze Minato: "@Lucas, do you have a solution for this?! If not, we’re on our own!"

Lucas: "Why the panic? I already told you I’ve got it handled."

With a confident smirk, Lucas raised his hands.

"Planetary Devastation!"

A pitch-black sphere shot into the sky, unleashing an immense gravitational pull. The scattered moon fragments, which had been plummeting toward the earth, were forcefully drawn back together.

Across the ninja world, countless people gazed upward in terror, the terrain of the descending meteorite clearly visible. Just as they braced for impact, the fragments reversed course, flying back into the sky and reassembling into the moon as if time had turned backward.

"Breathtaking…"

Whitebeard and the others, protected by the Tenseigan’s barrier, watched the rebirth of the moon unfold before their eyes. The sheer impossibility of what they had just witnessed shattered their understanding of the world.

"I don’t know how the moon was created in your world," Lucas remarked casually, glancing at Whitebeard and his crew. "But in this world, this is how things work."

As the Tenseigan’s power stabilized, Lucas descended back to Konoha with the captives.

"Lord Lucas, we deeply appreciate your help!"

Hyuga Hiashi awoke in a cold sweat. He had almost lost both of his daughters—his entire lineage—to the Ōtsutsuki.

Lucas shook his head. "Don’t mention it. You are my subordinates, after all. It’s my responsibility to protect you. I’m not like Sarutobi Hiruzen, who easily abandons his own people."

Hyuga Hiashi hesitated before asking, "I don’t understand… what exactly did they need us for?"

Lucas smirked and explained the method of Tenseigan synthesis, then turned to the still-unconscious Ōtsutsuki father and son. "I’ll be conducting some experiments soon. I hope you’ll cooperate."

Hiashi’s eyes widened, but then a smile formed on his face. "Of course! I will gladly cooperate!"

For the Hyuga Clan, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Unlike others, Hiashi wasn’t worried about Lucas surpassing him. He had already seen Lucas’s overwhelming power firsthand.

Namikaze Minato frowned. "Lord Lucas, I have a question. If they captured the Hyuga Patriarch to create the Tenseigan, why did they also capture Hinata and Hanabi?"

Lucas shifted his gaze to the unconscious Ōtsutsuki Shiren and sneered. "Because his son needs a pair of Byakugan… and a pure-blooded wife."

As soon as those words left his mouth, Hinata and Hanabi visibly stiffened.

Someone had already set their eyes on them?!

Disgusting.

"Send them to the lab."

With the Ōtsutsuki father and son properly sealed, Lucas signaled for the Anbu to transport them to the laboratory—where they would be preserved for future experimentation.

In the Chat Group

Gengetsu Hōzuki: "@Lucas, Iwagakure’s forces are pretty stubborn. Do you want to step in and teach them a lesson?"

Lucas: "Do I have to handle everything myself? It’s just Iwagakure—can’t you deal with them?"

Gengetsu Hōzuki: "Defeating them isn’t the issue. The problem is the losses we’ll suffer in the process. If you step in, we can minimize the damage on our side."

Lucas: "No need! Just keep our losses low; I don’t care about theirs. Lucky for you, I’ve got two pirates itching for a fight. I’ll send them over to… ‘relax.’"

Whitebeard: "I’m in!"

Fire Fist Ace: "Me too!"

Having been beaten by Ōtsutsuki Tsukihiko, both Whitebeard and Ace were brimming with frustration. Iwagakure was about to become their perfect punching bag.

Iwagakure Battlefield

At the front lines of the Ninja Alliance, Gengetsu Hōzuki stood at the helm, grinning as he looked at the elderly Tsuchikage hovering in midair.

"Ōnoki, you’re in trouble now," he taunted. "You should’ve surrendered earlier when you had the chance. It won’t be that easy anymore."

Ōnoki scowled, his aged voice laced with anger. "Shut up! Iwagakure was built by generations of Tsuchikage and countless heroes! We’ve poured everything into it—how could I abandon it so easily?!"

After witnessing Lucas’s overwhelming power and the fate of Kumogakure, Ōnoki had already considered surrendering. However, Lucas’s demands were unacceptable—dismantling Iwagakure, disbanding their forces, and relocating to a unified ninja village. That would erase Iwagakure’s very existence, something Ōnoki could not accept.

Lucas, on the other hand, saw this as the fastest route to peace—wiping out the hatred between ninja villages and forcing unity. Ōnoki didn’t understand that logic. He only knew that Iwagakure could not be erased.

Ōnoki was now caught in the same paradox as Ōtsutsuki Tsukihiko—he had invested too much into his ideals and could no longer back out.

Lucas had seen countless people like him before. It wasn’t a problem. If Ōnoki refused to accept reality, then he’d simply be crushed by it.

In an instant, Lucas teleported to the battlefield, bringing Whitebeard and Fire Fist Ace with him. He glanced at the opposing Iwagakure forces and waved his hand lazily.

"Go."

Whitebeard strode forward, a booming laugh escaping his lips.

"Gurararara! Come on! Let’s have some fun!"

The Tremor-Tremor Fruit’s white energy halo surrounded his fist before he slammed it forward. A devastating shockwave exploded outward.

"Earth Style – Earth Wall!"

Hundreds of Iwagakure ninjas moved in unison, creating a towering barrier of stone walls to block the attack.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The first eighty walls crumbled instantly, but the remaining barriers barely managed to hold off Whitebeard’s attack.

Whitebeard’s eyes gleamed with interest. "Oh? So this is how ninjas fight? Not bad!"

"If properly trained, hundreds of shinobi working together could even take down someone far stronger than themselves."

Lucas smirked and reached toward the ground. The earth beneath him twisted, shifting into pure gold, which he molded into a blade resembling Whitebeard old weapon. He casually tossed it to Whitebeard.

"Here, use this."

Whitebeard grinned, gripping the golden weapon. "Appreciate it, Group Leader!"

Without hesitation, he charged back into battle.

Seeing Whitebeard surrounded by enemy shinobi, Ace leaped into the battle, flames bursting from his fist.

"Fire Fist!"

A torrent of flames surged forward, colliding against Iwagakure’s Earth Style techniques, igniting the battlefield.

Lucas, meanwhile, sat back, forming a golden throne out of the transformed earth. A coffee table appeared in front of him as he pulled out a sealed scroll, retrieving tea and snacks.

Thousands fought below him, and he simply watched and sipped tea.

"Busy lives are fulfilling, but comfort… this is the real pleasure," Lucas mused as he enjoyed the spectacle.

Up above, Ōnoki’s aged form hovered, his hands forming a bright white cube of energy.

"Dust Release – Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!"

A deadly white beam shot toward Whitebeard and Ace.

"Gurararara!" Whitebeard laughed. "Dust Release, huh? Troublesome technique!"

"Ace! Don’t try to block it!"

Despite his massive frame, Whitebeard moved with astonishing agility, dodging the deadly attack with ease.

"Damn it!" Ōnoki cursed.

These two unknown people weren’t just powerful—they were ridiculously fast and had instincts that let them predict attacks.

Even worse, they weren’t even taking the fight seriously.

Ōnoki’s gaze shifted to Lucas, who sat comfortably in the distance, sipping tea.

"Maybe… I should target him instead?"

For a moment, Ōnoki hesitated, the Dust Release energy in his hands flickering.

But he stopped himself.

He knew better.

Killing Lucas wouldn’t change anything—and if he failed, Iwagakure wouldn’t just lose the battle, it would be erased from history.

He had seen what happened to the Raikage Clan of Kumogakure.

That seemingly carefree young man was far more ruthless than his easygoing demeanor suggested.

Finally, Ōnoki made his decision.

"Iwagakure… surrenders!"

He gritted his teeth and accepted all of Lucas’s conditions.

Chapter 155: The World Government Is Not Easy Either!

Onoki, despite his age and experience, was a man who understood the way the wind blew. Once he grasped the situation, he quickly adapted to the circumstances.

With a smile as wrinkled as a chrysanthemum, he stood beside Lucas with a flattering expression, completely discarding the dignity of the Third Tsuchikage. Watching this, Lucas couldn't help but sigh repeatedly.

In the end, Onoki was still the Third Tsuchikage—the man who had ensured Iwagakure remained stable through to the Fifth Generation. He was leagues ahead of the muscle-brained Fourth Raikage.

The Fourth Raikage’s resistance was driven by sheer emotion, whereas the Third Tsuchikage’s was a calculated test. Once he probed the situation and found it hopeless, he immediately surrendered, making the next logical decision.

After witnessing Lucas’s overwhelming strength, Onoki didn’t hesitate. He abandoned all thought of resistance and instead threw himself at Lucas’s feet, choosing survival over pride.

Even as he watched his own ninjas being escorted away in utter defeat, the Third Tsuchikage’s expression remained unchanged. He maintained his respectful submission to Lucas, his thoughts hidden behind his aged but sharp gaze.

Of course, he was unwilling. But regret? There was none. After all, he had at least tried.

[Chat Group]

Uchiha Madara: "This is the so-called Will of Stone? What a joke!"

Lucas: "Spare me the talk about ‘will.’ The Will of Fire isn’t all that strong either. It’s just a slogan. If you lose, you lose."

Uchiha Shisui: "That’s not true. The Will of Fire is real, and there are many who believe in it."

Lucas: "Other people can believe in it, but high-ranking officials of a Shinobi Village can’t afford to. Senior members are the brains of the village—they need logic, not blind passion."

Howard Stark: "Exactly! It’s just like warfare. Foot soldiers can afford to be arrogant, but commanders? They need to take their opponents seriously. The responsibilities at the top and bottom are never the same."

Whitebeard: "Gurararara! I don’t care about all this, but that battle was a real spectacle."

Fire Fist Ace: "Agreed! I’ve been holding back ever since that incident on the moon. That fight really let me vent!"

Lucas: "No need to worry! The folks over in Grass Ninja Village have prepared a monster specifically for me. I’ll leave that beast to you guys!"

Whitebeard: "A ‘monster’ from the Hokage world? Now that’s interesting. I’ll have to see it for myself."

Pirate King Roger: "Oi, group leader! You forgot about me, didn’t you? I want to go on an adventure in the Ninja world too!"

Lucas: "Relax, I’m on my way to retrieve your corpses and reincarnate you as Edo Tensei summons. That monster in Grass Ninja Village isn’t showing up just yet—you’ll be in time for the fight."

Pirate King Roger: "Really? That’s awesome! Thanks, Group Leader!"

Lucas: "Hold your thanks! I don’t plan to do all the dirty work myself. We’ve got plenty of idle members in the chat group—it’s time they got active!"

Sebastian Shaw: "Wait, are you heading to the Marvel world to retrieve our corpses? Or are you reincarnating us in other world to?"

Lucas: "Obviously, I’m reincarnating all the Ninja world members! Didn’t I already say? You guys don’t need to concern yourselves with affairs outside your worlds."

Senju Tobirama: "Sir, who are you planning to reincarnate this time?"

Lucas: "Every chat group member from the Ninja world. It’s time for the pirates to experience the true power of the Ninja world."

Uchiha Shisui: "Uh… I don’t even know where my body is, though?"

Lucas: "Don’t worry. I have both of your eyes! If worst comes to worst, I’ll just clone some cells. You’ll be back in action in no time."

[Pirate World – Underwater Prison: Impel Down]

A massive fortress protruded from the sea—the legendary underwater prison, Impel Down.

Standing atop the ocean’s surface, Lucas reached out his hand and lightly slapped the water. Black seal mark instantly spread across the sea, their eerie patterns stretching far and wide. Moments later, six powerful figures from the Shinobi world materialized beside him.

"Attack! Take down Impel Down!"

With a commanding wave of his hand, Lucas sent the six Shinobi powerhouses charging toward the infamous prison.

He activated his transparency ability, blending into the surroundings, all while broadcasting the battle live to the chat group.

[Chat Group]

Uchiha Madara: "Hmph. I never expected my first battle after reincarnation to be in another world. But rather than fighting these outsiders, I’d rather test my strength against Senju Hashirama."

Lucas: "Wow, Madara. You really are obsessed with him."

Uchiha Madara: "That’s not it! I just want to prove I’m stronger than him. I never got to defeat him in life, but now things are different!"

Uchiha Shisui: "Is it because of Chakra? Edo Tensei unlimited chakra?"

Uchiha Madara: "No. It’s the Rinnegan! I only awakened it in my old age—I never got to fight with it at full strength!"

Senju Hashirama: "Rinnegan? Hahaha! Without the power of the Six Paths, I doubt I could even sense your Limbo power clone. Madara, let’s just skip the fight—I’ll admit defeat!"

Uchiha Madara: "…"

Silence. A suffocating silence.

Madara felt as though he had punched thin air. The frustration was unbearable.

Whitebeard: "Oi, Hashirama! That’s too much. Even if you know you’ll lose, you can’t just surrender outright!"

Senju Hashirama: "Why should I fight if there’s no reason to?"

Whitebeard: "You’re just admitting defeat like that? Doesn’t that mean you’re acknowledging Madara is stronger?"

Senju Hashirama: "Well, the Rinnegan is ridiculously strong. I’d probably lose, so why bother? I just skipped the unnecessary process of getting beaten up. What’s the issue? I don’t want to humiliate myself like you did."

Whitebeard: "…"

A painful silence followed.

Senju Tobirama (laughing): "Hahaha! Whitebeard, you just want everyone else to suffer the same humiliation you did after losing to the Tenseigan, don’t you?"

Fire Fist Ace: "Bullshit! Dad isn’t that kind of person! Back when he was alive, he was called the strongest man in the world, but he never cared about that title. He didn’t even care about becoming the Pirate King!"

Golden Lion Shiki (scoffing): "Tch! And that’s exactly why I think he was an idiot—wasting such strength! He was obviously one of the strongest, but he wasted his power playing house with a bunch of brats."

Whitebeard (furious): "That wasn’t some damn game of family!"

Uchiha Shisui: "We’re here. The gates of Impel Down… don’t seem that strong."

From the sea, the six reincarnated shinobi rushed forward toward Impel Down’s towering entrance, immediately drawing the attention of the guards.

"What’s going on?!"

"Walking on water? Is that Moonwalk? No… it doesn’t look like it!"

"They don’t seem like Marines or World Government officials—stop them!"

"Halt!"

"They’re not stopping? Fire!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Bullets rained down, but two massive figures suddenly materialized—a blue and a green Susanoo, standing tall and deflecting the oncoming gunfire with ease.

"W-What the hell is that?!"

"A Devil Fruit ability? But there are two of them—how can two people have the same ability?!"

"Run!"

Before the gatekeepers could even process what was happening, Uchiha Madara’s Susanoo moved. A massive ethereal blade slashed through the air.

BOOM!

The colossal gate of Impel Down was split apart, sending shockwaves rippling through the fortress. The impact alone knocked several guards off their feet.

The six shinobi slowed their charge and walked into the prison through the shattered entrance.

"Intruders! Intruders!"

"The enemy has breached the main gate—All guards, mobilize immediately!"

Alarms blared across Impel Down. Emergency phone snails echoed the alert throughout the fortress.

Inside Impel Down – First Floor

In a dimly lit hallway, a tall man clad in a black uniform with demonic black wings stepped out of a restroom, his face twisted in irritation.

A subordinate rushed to his side, urgently reporting, "Deputy Director Magellan! Intruders have breached Impel Down through the main entrance!"

Magellan’s expression darkened. "What?! Damned pirates! Do they think Impel Down is a playground? This is no place for criminals to run wild!"

Having just purged his system in the restroom, Magellan was now at his peak combat power. Without another word, he marched toward the first floor, his fury boiling.

[Chat Group]

Uchiha Madara: "Golden Lion, do you remember where you died?"

Golden Lion Shiki: "Hmph! A pirate of my stature was locked away in the sixth floor. But as for which cell… I have no clue."

Senju Tobirama (raising an eyebrow): "You don’t know? You never paid attention to which cell you were in?"

Golden Lion Shiki: "Tch, what’s the point? Back then, my will was broken. I had neither the resolve nor the strength to escape, so why would I care about my cell number?"

Senju Tobirama (nodding): "Fair enough."

Lucas: "No need to stress over it. Just head to the sixth floor and start searching. If we don’t find him, we’ll just capture all the officials and torture them for information."

Gold Thief Woonan: "Group Leader, don’t you have any clues?"

Lucas: "Nope. But that’s fine. I don’t have any solid leads on Roger’s body or Vegapunk either—I’m looking for all of them at the same time."

Pirate King Roger: "If we grab the right person, we might hit the jackpot and get everything we need at once."

[Outside World – Impel Down]

Gunfire erupted as guards desperately tried to stop the invaders. However, against shinobi of this caliber, conventional weapons were useless.

Uchiha Madara activated his Susanoo, and with a single sweep of his massive energy blade, he cleared an entire section of enemies.

Meanwhile, Senju Tobirama, Namikaze Minato, and the others, who lacked the defensive power of Susanoo, found themselves momentarily at a disadvantage against the overwhelming firepower. Still, thanks to their Edo Tensei state, even direct hits barely slowed them down.

"A Devil Fruit ability?!"

Seeing Tobirama and the others get hit, shatter into dust, and then reassemble, the guards instinctively assumed they were facing Logia-type Devil Fruit users.

"Wait, something’s not right!"

"Devil Fruits are unique! But they’re all regenerating in the same way!"

"They aren’t Devil Fruit users?"

"Bring out the Seastone net launchers! Let’s test them!"

The guards quickly armed themselves with special Seastone firearms designed to ensnare Devil Fruit users.

Senju Tobirama (annoyed): "Tch, this is getting annoying!"

Dusting himself off, he swiftly performed a hand seal.

"Genjutsu: Dark Night!"

In an instant, darkness engulfed the area. The guards of Impel Down were swallowed by a pitch-black void, their vision completely stolen by Tobirama’s illusion.

Uchiha Madara (grinning): "Pathetic."

Without hesitation, he swung Susanoo’s massive hand, sending the blinded guards flying like ragdolls. With the path cleared, the group descended deeper into the prison.

[Chat Group]

Howard Stark (impressed): "What’s up with this prison? This level of security is insane!"

Golden Lion Shiki (scoffing): "This is the largest prison in the Pirate World. It’s the ultimate display of the World Government’s authority. Of course, they went overboard with it."

Sebastian Shaw: "So this is the greatest prison of the Pirate World? Gotta admit, it’s impressive. So many layers of security."

Lucas: "Yeah, it’s over the top. They’ve got steel jungles, wild beasts, starvation, extreme heat, and freezing temperatures—all crammed into one underwater fortress. Keeping a place like this running isn’t easy. The World Government really went all out."
