"Mr. Orochimaru, this is for you."
After successfully recruiting Orochimaru, Karl gave him a greeting gift.
It was a jade ring similar to the Akatsuki ring.
Unlike the Akatsuki ring, which had characters carved on it, the ring Karl gave Orochimaru only had a small golden bean inside the transparent jade.
"..."
Catching the ring Karl threw, Orochimaru looked at the jade ring, which was not as luxurious as the golden invitation and the golden card, but rather seemed a bit low-key, with a hint of confusion on his face.
"Let Doffy tell you. Also, let him take you to meet your future partners. I have to leave for a while."
Karl smiled slightly, then transformed into a bolt of lightning and disappeared from the hall.
Seeing Karl's body flicker technique, Orochimaru's pupils contracted slightly, and he subconsciously released his sensory ninjutsu.
But he found that Karl was not in his sensory range at all.
What was even more terrifying was that the other party had teleported within the hall.
In other words... he had either ignored all obstacles, or had bypassed all obstacles at an incredibly fast speed.
No matter which way, for Orochimaru, it was a level he could not achieve.
...Is this just the tip of the iceberg of the King of the Seas of another world, who became an overlord of the seas in his teens and the World's Strongest Man in his twenties?
"Lord Doffy, this ring?"
Suppressing the shock in his heart for this BOSS, Orochimaru looked at Doflamingo beside him and asked very politely.
"Fuffuffuffu... Since we've become partners, you can just call me Doffy in the future."
Taking advantage of his absolute height advantage, Doflamingo once again patted Orochimaru's shoulder, then stretched out his other hand and brought the jade ring on his index finger to Orochimaru's face, saying, "I also have a ring like this."
"The body of the ring is made of the highest-grade, hardest precious jade in our world. The golden bean inside is a metal called Pure Gold."
"...Pure Gold?"
Orochimaru raised his eyebrows.
To use such a high-grade material to make the body of the ring, or more accurately, to protect the golden bean inside, could it be that this golden bean was different from other gold?
As expected...
Doflamingo's next sentence made Orochimaru's breathing stop.
"Pure Gold is, in our world, the legendary metal that can buy the whole world."
"Because... it can prolong one's life."
Doflamingo patted Orochimaru's instantly stiffened body and said with a smile, "Don't look at the small golden bean in your ring, but when you put on this ring, your lifespan will go from the original dozens or hundreds of years to at least four hundred years."
"It's actually a thing of longevity?!"
Orochimaru stared at the ring in his hand, his face filled with shock.
He had never expected it.
The longevity he had always longed for had been realized so easily.
...Just with a small golden bean!
"Isn't it incredible, and you're even unwilling to believe it's real?"
Before Orochimaru could answer, Doflamingo said to himself, "In fact, I didn't believe it at first either. But when I saw the Pure Gold girl who had lived for four hundred years, and the scientist who had invented Pure Gold, I had to believe it."
"The scientist who invented Pure Gold?"
Hearing this, Orochimaru immediately looked up at Doflamingo, his eyes shining with a light called "desire."
"Ah... he'll be your colleague in the future."
Doflamingo, who knew that Orochimaru wanted to communicate with that scientist, said with a smile, "Before we hold a welcome banquet for you, I'll take you to meet some people and familiarize yourself with the other places in Gran Tesoro."
"Okay!"
Orochimaru nodded, his face filled with anticipation.
At this moment, Orochimaru saw an even more brilliant future in the Golden Nation, and in Karl and Doflamingo.
Awaiting him was a sea of stars, the mystery of eternal life.
Konoha obviously didn't know that they had sent Orochimaru to buy weapons, but not only had he not brought back any weapons, but they had also lost one of the Sannin.
As the most proud disciple of the Third Hokage, before his defection, Orochimaru was one of the candidates for the Fourth Hokage, and the number of his followers was countless.
In addition, as a member of Danzō Shimura's Root, he was a special character who intervened between light and dark.
Only the Hokage could see the Scroll of Seals, but in fact, if he wanted to see it, he could at any time.
As for the forbidden jutsu library, with a little scheme, he could break into it, and there would be no consequences afterwards.
If Hiruzen Sarutobi was the "Professor" of ninjutsu, then Orochimaru, who dreamed of learning all ninjutsu and mastering the truth of the world, was second only to the "Professor."
By recruiting Orochimaru, Karl was equivalent to obtaining the vast majority of Konoha's forbidden jutsu.
This was the reason why Karl had told Carina that day that he would soon get a large number of high-level ninjutsu and forbidden jutsu for her.
To keep this talent, Orochimaru, Karl was even willing to give him a second Ring of Pure Gold.
Before conquering the Naruto world, Orochimaru was worth such an investment.
While Karl was recruiting his first native.
Far away, on the edge of the Ninja Continent, Charlotte Linlin, who had broken through her steel balloon body, been injected with the gene potion, and successfully obtained chakra, had also begun to act.
The small ninja village occupied by the Big Mom Pirates was not even as good as Kusagakure, a small ninja village that the great ninja villages wouldn't even invite to the Chūnin Exams.
The highest-level ninjutsu in this ninja village was only a B-rank ninjutsu.
Therefore...
Charlotte Linlin, who had obtained chakra and learned the universal Three Basic Jutsu of the ninja world, as well as the techniques of walking on walls and water, was no longer satisfied with these ninja basics.
As the Charlotte Family, which had the largest force among the Four Emperor pirate crews and most of whose dozens of children were ability users, they prepared to make a move on the Land of Water, which was far from the Ninja Continent and located on the sea.
And so...
The Queen Mama Chanter, which had been moved from the sea to the land, went to sea again after more than a month.
This time, its target was one of the five great nations at the pinnacle of the ninja world.
This isolated country, which had not entered the Ninja Continent since the end of the First Great Ninja War, and was the most mysterious country and ninja village among the Five Great Nations, would also become the first great nation and great ninja village among the Five Great Nations to face the test of another world.
