"Shirahoshi, let your father take over from here."
"I need a little time."
"Okay~" Shirahoshi nodded obediently and stepped away.
Naruto sat cross-legged on the ground, calm and composed.
The world was vast—so vast it would take time to fully integrate its power and systems.
Meanwhile—
After sweeping through the skies, Uchiha Madara's fully-armored Susanoo hovered in place.
High above, Madara looked back.
Whoosh—
Senju Tobirama appeared in a flash of light, using the Flying Thunder God Technique. He unrolled a world map.
"This is the Sabaody Archipelago," Tobirama explained. "From here, we'll launch attacks on multiple fronts."
"Madara, you possess complete aerial dominance and unmatched offensive power. Take note—this world contains abilities called Devil Fruits. Their users are weakened by seawater. So, we've deployed Water Release squads to each front—teams specialized in generating seawater."
He handed over a Den Den Mushi.
"This Den Den Mushi emits jamming signals. It'll disrupt enemy communications."
Madara accepted it, arms crossed.
"So I just lead the charge. Nothing else?"
"Correct," Tobirama nodded. "But pace yourself. Don't outstrip the ground forces. Maintain aerial superiority, but don't break formation."
"And remember," he added, "during this ninja coalition campaign, avoid harming civilians."
Madara waved him off. "Yeah, yeah. I know the rules."
"Good. Then head for Amazon Lily first. Kaguya and Hancock's Kuja Pirates are waiting there—it's located in the Calm Belt. After linking up with them, move against the Grand Line and begin the full assault."
"You'll lead the left wing. I'll assign supporting troops."
Whoosh—
With that, Tobirama vanished in another flash.
Elsewhere—
On the right wing, Deidara maintained air dominance while the Tailed Beast Division launched bombardments.
In the center, Minato Namikaze handled air control solo, coordinating with the Tagorihime and Tagitsuhime duo to execute precise island-hopping tactics.
Operation: Begin.
The lower districts of the Sabaody Archipelago were left stunned.
The densely packed Ninja Alliance forces had vanished in an instant.
Mermaids and fishmen emerged from hiding to restore order.
Sentomaru stood trembling before Naruto.
Naruto kept his eyes closed, not even acknowledging his presence.
Sentomaru was drenched in cold sweat.
"U-Uzumaki Naruto... what are you going to do?!"
"Crush the World Government, the Marines, and the pirates."
Naruto's eyes snapped open as he suddenly remembered—this guy had valuable intel.
"Sentomaru, go identify key targets. Anyone with even a minor bounty—arrest them."
He raised his hand.
RUMBLE—!
The ground behind Naruto erupted.
A colossal wooden cage emerged, wrought from Wood Release.
"Lock them all up in there. We'll conduct unified interrogations later."
While the world believed peace had returned...
The Ninja Alliance was already on the move.
Sentomaru stood frozen, his head low, his shoulders shaking.
"You know what we're about to do on the Sabaody Archipelago," Naruto said coldly.
Sentomaru glanced toward the civilians nearby—confused, unbelieving.
There was no violence. No looting.
Even those who knelt and begged for mercy were scolded by shinobi for degrading themselves.
"There are talented individuals here," Naruto said. "Some of them understand real justice—not the kind that protects the corrupt World Government."
Naruto closed his eyes again, focusing on fusing his new powers.
Sentomaru, after a long silence, slowly rose to his feet.
Whatever his reasons—whether to save lives or protect the innocent—he understood this:
If he didn't act, someone else would take his place. Someone far less merciful.
Meanwhile—
At Enies Lobby, the stronghold of judicial power under direct World Government control…
Everyone assumed no pirate would dare set foot here.
This island represented the unshakable law of the world.
Which made it the perfect target.
BOOM! BOOM!
Suddenly, dark storm clouds gathered overhead.
Thunder crashed. Rain poured from the heavens.
The layout of Enies Lobby was no secret.
Perched atop Madara's complete Susanoo, Tobirama stood with a group of elites: Uchiha Madara, Senju Hashirama, Namikaze Minato, and three of the current Five Kage.
"This is Enies Lobby—Naruto's second designated conquest," Tobirama declared.
"Enies Lobby, huh?" one muttered.
"Hmph!" Madara snorted. "No wonder Naruto marked this one for total destruction."
"And if I heard correctly," another added, "he didn't say defeat—he said raze it to the ground."
Tobirama nodded and unfurled a map.
"The island is divided into four parts."
"First is the Front Island—home to the main gate."
"Then comes the Main Island itself, housing the Tower of Justice."
"Connected by the Bridge of Hesitation, it all leads to the so-called Gate of Justice."
Madara scoffed again.
"Front Island is heavily fortified," Tobirama continued. "That's to be expected."
"The rest… we'll blow it sky-high."
"The garrison totals around 10,000 troops."
"But in the end—they're not a real threat."
"Prepare for battle."
Tobirama turned to the massive Allied Shinobi Forces.
Though they appeared tightly packed, they were actually deployed in coordinated three-man teams.
"Commence the assault!"
"Madara, Deidara, Ōnoki, Minato—you'll handle the airstrike!"
"For communication—summoning techniques will do."
Tobirama bit his finger and leapt off Susanoo, performing hand seals mid-air.
BANG—!!!
Plumes of white smoke exploded into the sky.
Whoosh—!
Giant hawks soared out from the smoke.
Tobirama tossed several specially-modified Den Den Mushi to each of the hawks, fastening them to their backs.
The air assault on Enies Lobby had officially begun.
"Attack!"
BOOM—!!!
In that instant, the entire Ninja Alliance surged forward like a rising tide. Fishmen and mermaids from the tactical support squads moved in sync with the charge, each one hearing the unified call echoing in their minds.
Goosebumps spread across the battlefield as adrenaline surged. The battlefield trembled with power.
All the Tailed Beasts froze—then opened their jaws, gathering Tailed Beast Bombs in unison.
Behind them, elite shinobi from various clans stepped forward, channeling their chakra into the Allied Forces. One by one, the ninja were cloaked in brilliant chakra coats, the glow spreading like wildfire across the frontlines.
Buzz——
"Oi! Jiro!"
A sailor's voice rang out from the front watchpost on Enies Lobby.
Up above, the bored Marine guard in the watchtower rolled his eyes. "What now?"
"A storm's brewing. Keep an eye on the sea."
"Tch—this is Judicial Island, who'd dare to approach us? You worry too much."
"Just take a look!"
"Yeah, yeah~ You're so damn talky today."
Jiro lazily turned his telescope toward the stormy sea.
Dark clouds loomed thick, swallowing the horizon.
"Nothing. Told you—"
His words caught in his throat.
His pupils shrank to pinpricks.
And then—
He stumbled backward, legs giving out, and tumbled from the tower.
The sailor below caught him just in time. "What the hell, man?!"
But the next moment, even he froze.
"Where... where did those goshawks come from?"
"No... those aren't normal birds. They're massive!"
Buzz——
A flock of giant summon hawks tore through the clouds, circling the skies in synchronized flight before scattering in every direction.
"Report to HQ—NOW!"
He scrambled to grab the Den Den Mushi, but it was no use. The receiver crackled, the signal jammed.
"What the hell?! A communication blackout now?!"
"Oi, Jiro! What did you see up there?!"
But Jiro just trembled, face ashen, voice barely a whisper.
"En–Enemy... enemy attack!"
"What?! Are you delirious?!"
The other sailor set Jiro down and climbed the tower, cursing under his breath. "Damn it. Always stuck on shift with weirdos."
He took the telescope and peered through the gloom.
Black sea. Rain slashing down.
And then—he saw it.
Tiny red dots blinking at the horizon.
He squinted. Even with the telescope, they were hard to make out.
BOOM! BOOM—!!!
A roar of thunder crashed overhead. Lightning tore through the dark clouds.
CRASH——!!!
Torrents of rain poured down in sheets, soaking the world in chaos.
But now those red dots… there were more of them. Dozens.
He focused again.
And his eyes widened.
Each red dot—each and every one—was a person.
The Allied Shinobi Forces surged toward Enies Lobby like an unstoppable wave.
On the watchtower, a Marine officer rubbed his eyes in disbelief. He thought he was seeing things—red dots spreading across the horizon.
He looked again.
There were even more of them now, multiplying in the storm's darkness.
BOOM—BOOM!!!
Thunder rolled violently across the sky.
A jagged bolt of lightning lit up the black sea.
"What the hell—?!"
CLANG—
The telescope slipped from his trembling hands and crashed to the floor.
"They're... everywhere?!"
The sea—was filled with people.
"Enemy attack!!!" he shouted, voice cracking with panic.
He grabbed the Den Den Mushi again, but it was still unresponsive—completely jammed.
BOOM—!!!
Just then—
A fleet of giant clay birds exploded into view overhead, flapping heavily through the storm.
And behind them...
A massive armored blue Susanoo towered above the battlefield, a luminous blade in its hand.
"Did they spot us?" Gaara stood on the shoulder of the colossal Susanoo. The gourd on his back was already pouring out streams of sand.
Sasuke gave a cold smirk. "No... they didn't discover us."
"But we're about to announce our arrival."
"Hmph. That Uchiha kid talks big," grunted the Fourth Raikage, already glowing with crackling Lightning Release Chakra Mode.
He crouched slightly, power surging.
"Get me close, and I'll leap in!"
Just as he spoke, the Raikage's body rose into the air.
"Let's go together," came an aged voice behind him.
The Fourth Raikage glanced back.
An old hand had rested on his shoulder.
Ōnoki.
"I never imagined the day would come where we'd fight side by side."
"Move!"
The Raikage launched himself downward.
Ōnoki floated behind, hand still on his shoulder. "Earth Style: Super Light-Weight Rock Technique!"
With his free hand, Ōnoki formed another rapid set of seals.
THUD!
A massive stone colossus burst from the ground with a roar.
And then, in unison, the telepathic command surged through the minds of every shinobi once more.
Charge.
"Hahaha—!" a voice laughed maniacally.
"I'm in too!"
"Sage Art: Wood Release – True Several Thousand Hands!!!"
BOOM! BOOM—!!!
As Hashirama Senju landed on the battlefield, a massive surge of chakra exploded outward from his body.
The earth cracked beneath him as colossal tree roots erupted from the ground.
They twisted and spiraled, gathering under his feet.
In mere seconds—
The giant Thousand-Armed Buddha rose to the sky, towering above even the storm clouds.
At the same time—
Uchiha Madara had already begun decimating the ground forces, Susanoo cleaving through defenses like paper.
Deidara's flying clay birds shrieked downward, dropping bombs in a brilliant, chaotic pattern.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!
Explosions lit the island like daylight, shaking the foundations of Enies Lobby.
"Island-hopping tactics, huh..." Minato Namikaze stood on a high ledge, gazing at the chaos below.
"I'll try a little trick of my own."
He reached into his pouch and pulled out several custom-marked kunai, each with the signature Flying Thunder God seal.
Nearby, the elite Mother-Daughter (in-law) Assault Unit—led by Kushina and Tsunade—stood ready.
Buzz——
A golden light flared at Minato's feet.
His eyes narrowed.
The Yellow Flash was about to move.
