Shion showing up in this place wasn't a surprise.
As the ruler of the Land of Demons, Shion wasn't really a noble, but a witch.
But no matter what, she had the status of a ruler, so she was able to join the World Government meeting back then.
It's just that the Land of Demons was too poor to pay the protection fee, and Shion herself didn't want the Land of Demons to get involved in such big events.
So, the Land of Demons didn't join the World Government at that meeting.
But Shion never thought that the Land of Demons would be targeted by the World Government soon after.
If it were Shion from the original story, she might not have understood what was happening, but in this time, even a sweet and innocent person like Shion had grown a lot.
Shanks' appearance caused big and small chaos everywhere. Even in a poor and remote place like the Land of Demons, there were many bandits and pirates.
To calm those disturbances, Shion went from being a lucky charm to a lucky charm that was slightly stronger and a bit smarter.
Of course, there's a big difference between lucky charms.
Like Gato. He's also a lucky charm, but Gato was the type that was often hung on the mast, so his body was incredibly strong. He could walk across the snowy fields of the Land of Snow, something only Gato could do.
Even White Zetsu, who looked like humans but weren't exactly the same, couldn't stand it, but Gato was fine.
As for Shion, even with the witch's power protecting her, her body was frozen into a state of fake death. Only the witch's power kept her body running stiffly.
Now, with Gato's voice, the power in Shion burst out, instantly pulling her back from the state of fake death.
"Mr. Gato!".
A breath of cold air came out of Shion's mouth. She really didn't understand how this fat man could still be so lively in this environment.
But she finally met him. It seemed like the "future" she saw was likely real.
"Please, you must help the Land of Demons.".
"Help?".
Hearing Shion's words, Gato was stunned.
I know my own strength. Why would I help?
And I'm being held hostage by these White Zetsu.
Although the White Zetsu have lost their malice towards Gato after this time, it doesn't mean Gato is really their boss.
Overall, the White Zetsu from the Land of Waves don't have much moral fiber and don't hate Gato.
But they definitely won't help and do things that don't pay off.
"I refuse.".
Gato said directly. Hearing Gato's words, the other White Zetsu breathed a sigh of relief. As expected, people from the same place were good at protecting themselves.
"Gato, but...".
"No buts. The Land of Waves and the Land of Demons aren't allies, and I'm not the ruler of the Land of Waves anymore.
I won't interfere in other countries' affairs.".
"That's right, you should go back quickly. If there's anything, find the World Government, find the Marines, they're better than us.".
The White Zetsu next to Gato also said, they didn't want to get into unnecessary trouble.
"It's the World Government that's taking action! The World Government is going to attack the Land of Demons!".
Shion said loudly.
"As those who fight against the World Government, aren't you the enemies of the World Government? Shouldn't you take action at this time?".
Shion looked at Gato. Gato was wanted by the World Government. Since they were already on opposite sides, weren't they friends?
But after hearing Shion's words, Gato and the other White Zetsu looked at Shion like she was an idiot.
Even the White Zetsu couldn't stand her intelligence.
But Gato was still interested in the reason why the World Government would take action.
"Why would the World Government attack the Land of Demons?".
Gato asked curiously. Of course, he was asking, but he definitely wouldn't help.
But Shion clearly didn't understand the bottom line of these people. As soon as Gato asked, Shion told him all the futures she had seen.
In fact, the World Government hadn't started their action against the Land of Demons yet, but as a witch, Shion had the ability to see the future.
In the future she saw, she saw the World Government invading the Land of Demons, and she also saw the reason why the World Government was invading.
The World Government would undo the seal of Moryo and then take back all of Moryo's power. But Moryo's power wasn't just Moryo itself, but also the witch's power.
And through the scenes she saw, Shion also understood that the World Government wasn't trying to completely eliminate "Moryo". In the process of eliminating "Moryo", they would also get rid of the Land of Demons, a non-member country.
This kind of "destruction of a country" had a big impact on a little girl like Shion. She saw an extremely terrible future, more terrible than ever.
But for the World Government, a small Land of Demons was nothing.
Power is like that.
In the past, the Five Kage wouldn't have had this kind of courage. Not to mention destroying a country, even the war between villages needed to be carefully considered.
Now, they destroy a country casually, not caring at all. The so-called countries are just like that in the eyes of the Five Kage.
Because the current "Five Kage" are called "Five Elders". The level of power is completely different.
And when Gato heard this news, he wasn't surprised at all. Then, he looked at Shion even more like she was an idiot.
So did the other White Zetsu.
You, the Land of Demons, have such a powerful force, but you don't use it and seal it up?
"Does Moryo really have the power to destroy the world?".
"Uh...".
Hearing Gato's words, Shion was stunned. I said so much, and you only ask this?
"Moryo is an ancient demon, very scary. It is said to have the power to destroy the world.".
"Then can it beat Shanks?".
Gato asked a very real question. Don't talk about destroying the world, just tell me if it can beat Shanks.
But now Shion was sure. She shook her head. Even if she was brainless, she understood that a demon that was sealed up couldn't be the opponent of the creator of the new era.
"So, your ability to see the future may not be right. Don't worry.".
Gato patted his belly and didn't care.
Anyway, I'll find a reason later. But this information should be told to Shanks later.
"But, but I not only saw that, I also saw that in this war, Naruto was defeated by Gato and fell in front of Gato.".
Shion said hesitantly. She wasn't lying. She did see this scene.
And the key person she could think of to resist this war in the Land of Demons was Gato.
Gato's identity was there, and besides his identity, the power Gato controlled was also strong enough.
Only if Gato joins the Land of Demons, there will be more pirates entering the Land of Demons.
The ninja world doesn't have Four Emperors, but the ninja world has Gato, a subordinate of the Four Emperors. When the pirates know Gato's movements and know what the Land of Demons is hiding, they will definitely flood into the Land of Demons.
Zion knew that she wasn't smart and didn't have enough strength, but it was because she knew her own limitations that she asked Gato.
And what kind of person is Gato? He's afraid of death.
But...
"You said that Naruto will appear in the Land of Demons?".
At this moment, Gato's face was strained, and the eyes behind his sunglasses had turned red.
Naruto!!
Naruto!!!
Even Zabuza only collected protection fees from him. The Land of Waves was still Gato's territory.
But even so, Gato could fight Zabuza desperately.
But now, Naruto has become the ruler of the Land of Waves. The entire World Government is helping Naruto.
The Land of Waves that he had worked so hard to build was completely taken over by Naruto because of this accident.
After working so hard for so many years, he was working for that blond kid for nothing??
"You said...Naruto, will come too?".
"Hahaha!!!".
"Good, that kid...".
At this moment, Gato was so angry that he laughed. The cold air around Gato disappeared because of Gato's anger. A layer of frost appeared on Gato's surface.
The anger completely crushed Gato's fear of death. As the fear of death disappeared, the wisdom and ambition under greed completely erupted.
Gato wasn't an idiot, never was.
This guy's brain was definitely smart at times. The first time he faced Zabuza, he spent a lot of money in the underground black market to buy a lot of weapons.
He was ready to fight Zabuza to the death.
You want to attack my Land of Waves? Then ask me, Gato.
This isn't just my business, this is our family's business for generations.
It's true that I, Gato, am afraid of death, but whoever attacks the Land of Waves, I will drag them down with me.
Of course, this state is also just losing his mind after being angered. If you really beat Gato into submission, Gato will definitely be a coward.
But obviously, Naruto doesn't have that ability yet.
For Gato, he worked so hard for the Land of Waves, but a blond kid came from nowhere and took away the Land of Waves.
Gato not only felt that he had lost his most valuable property, but also felt like he had been cheated on. He became more and more unhappy with Naruto.
And the other White Zetsu were stunned when they saw this scene.
"It's over!!".
They came from the Land of Waves, how could they not know.
Even if those people deliberately let Gato out, no one thought of taking over the Land of Waves. At most, they would just redistribute the maritime market.
No one would really dare to attack the Land of Waves. Gato would really risk his life.
And now...
"Go!! Go to the Land of Demons. I'm going to make those people pay the price.".
