Staring at his reputation points, which had dwindled to just a few hundred, Kai felt like crying. Damn it—using his own power and still having to pay a price? Where's the justice in that?
About fifteen minutes passed before the system's voice echoed in Kai's mind: "Host, the Kagura Shingan ability has been synchronized with the One Piece world's power rules. You may now use it without any restrictions."
"But I don't feel anything different," Kai frowned. At his level, even the slightest change would be noticeable instantly.
After a long pause, the system finally responded, "Host, please don't waste the system's time, and don't show your intellectual limits here. The system only synchronized the Kagura Shingan ability into the One Piece power rules. Naturally, you won't experience any changes."
The system's tone was cold and indifferent, but Kai could clearly sense a malicious edge behind those words. He sighed inwardly but understood the system's meaning.
Without further hesitation, he unleashed Kagura Shingan!
For the first time, a power from the Naruto world manifested in the One Piece universe. Centered on Kai, nearly two thousand kilometers of surrounding territory fell under his mental domain.
Navy Headquarters—Marineford!
The "Holy Land" Mary Geoise!
The underwater prison Impel Down!
The Sabaody Archipelago!
Judicial Island!
All these locations were reflected clearly within Kai's awareness.
Countless massive presences revealed themselves to his Kagura Shingan, especially within Mary Geoise. There, he detected four enormous auras, rivaling even the might of Ōtsutsuki Kaguya from the Naruto world!
"Hm... only four auras? Could it be that one of the Five Elders isn't at Mary Geoise? That can't be right. Both Navy intelligence and manga info say the Five Elders usually stick together. How is this possible? Could someone be hiding from Observation Haki detection?"
Kai furrowed his brow but quickly relaxed. "Well, that's fine. It's better than everything being too obvious, isn't it?"
He didn't dwell on the question further. His Observation Haki gradually expanded, seamlessly merging with Kagura Shingan! Riding on Kagura Shingan, his Observation Haki spread wildly within the mental domain.
In an instant, the area covered by Kagura Shingan was also blanketed by Observation Haki!
Nearly two thousand kilometers of Observation Haki!
What did that mean? To put it simply, the peak range of his first-level Observation Haki before had been less than a kilometer. After fusing with Kagura Shingan, the coverage exploded by almost two thousand times!
And that wasn't all.
Previously, Observation Haki only allowed prediction of an opponent's moves and position. But now, fused with Kagura Shingan, it could sense the intensity of an opponent's aura, mark, lock onto, and track targets. It was the perfect fusion of the strengths of both powers!
Mary Geoise!
The World Government Headquarters!
An elderly man in white robes was polishing a long sword. Suddenly, his hand froze, and he spoke coldly, "Someone is spying on us with Observation Haki."
Beside him, a round-faced elder with a white beard wearing a black suit frowned. "Spying on us with Observation Haki? Could someone have infiltrated Mary Geoise? Impossible." Saying this, he activated his own Observation Haki.
After a moment, he spoke again, "Within a three-thousand-meter radius, aside from the usual guards, there's no sign of anyone. Elder Two, are you sure your senses aren't mistaken?"
The round-faced elder's words sent chills down the spine. Before Kai fused Kagura Shingan, his Observation Haki range hadn't even reached a kilometer—already the peak of the first level! Yet this elder shattered that limit by over three times!
"Elder Four, as the supreme swordsman, you know Elder Two's senses never fail," another elder with blond hair and a chest scar said.
"Order a search of Mary Geoise. Check if any suspicious individuals have appeared recently," the blond elder commanded.
"Understood," the round-faced elder nodded.
The blond elder had no idea that Kai was spying on them from nearly a thousand kilometers away in the calm zone. Clearly, this search of Mary Geoise would be in vain.
...
After surveying Mary Geoise, Kai withdrew his Observation Haki, naturally unaware of what happened there afterward.
Familiarizing himself with his transformed Observation Haki, Kai left the cabin.
"Sir, we're just two hours from the Sabaody Archipelago," a middle-aged Navy officer with a nervous expression hurried over to report.
This man was Sengoku's appointed adjutant for Kai, a Navy Colonel named Johnson.
"Johnson, don't be scared. I'm not going to toss you overboard," Kai said with a hint of helplessness, noticing Johnson's tension.
"Y-yes, sir," Johnson replied quickly.
Kai shook his head but didn't press further. Instead, he gazed toward the horizon where the ship was heading. A splash of green came into view.
It was—the Sabaody Archipelago!
The entire archipelago was formed by seventy-nine of the world's largest red trees, Archaeomangrove trees, each large enough to be its own island.
The most distinctive feature of the Sabaody Archipelago was the Archaeomangrove roots submerged in the sea. Through respiration, these roots secreted a special natural resin. This resin expanded in the air, forming bubbles that floated skyward. Bubbles were everywhere in the Sabaody Archipelago!
Thus, it was also known as the "Bubble Archipelago."
