Hancock controlled the sea of cherry blossoms surging towards Harribel.
Unfortunately, although unlike Nami, who still couldn't master Jakuho Raikoben, Hancock was already able to use the power of Senbonzakura Kageyoshi, if Byakuya, returning from training in the Soul King Palace, could enhance his Shikai to Bankai-level, then the current Hancock had weakened the Bankai down to Shikai strength.
Harribel, with her arms crossed in front of her chest, making her chocolate orbs appear even fuller, cast an indifferent glance at the sea of flowers rushing towards her.
She couldn't even be bothered to draw the sword hanging at her waist.
Reiatsu, somewhat similar to Conqueror's Haki, poured out, instantly dispersing the sea of flowers.
"Tch! Damn woman!"
Seeing her ultimate move so easily broken,
Hancock bit her lips with her teeth, her face full of discontent.
...
Meanwhile, in the wilderness survival training ground adjacent to the riverbank in the outskirts of Konoha.
This was also the location of the Memorial Stone.
Jingle jingle~
The crisp sound of a bell echoed across the lawn.
Minato, wearing a Konoha's Jonin Uniform, held a bell between his fingers with his right hand and smiled at the three kids with an average age of ten in front of him.
"This is the graduation exam that will determine whether you can officially become Konoha's Ninja."
"But sensei, there's only one bell."
The watermelon-headed Guy was full of question marks.
Standing beside him was Kakashi, who should have been assigned to a regular unit and promoted to Chunin, but because of his terrible attitude, no one wanted to team up with him.
And Obito, who applied for early graduation and barely passed in order to go to the battlefield and see his unforgettable goddess again.
These three formed the new Team Minato, different from the original.
Facing Guy's question, Minato explained:
"Oh, this is just to determine which of you three is the strongest. The one who gets the bell will be the small team leader of our squad. Of course, that's on the premise that you can get it."
Minato, with his nice-guy personality, obviously didn't have as many tricks as his future student.
He revealed the reason without reservation.
"Sensei, as long as we become Ninja, we can go to the battlefield, right?"
Obito raised his hand and asked.
"Idiot."
Kakashi muttered inwardly.
What this guy was thinking, rushing to graduate early and go to the battlefield, even a pig could tell.
"War is not a game. I must confirm you have considerable strength before making a decision."
Minato rarely showed a serious expression.
It made Obito dare not fool around.
Although they managed to hold back the Kumogakure army in the Land of Hot Water thanks to the experts Jin brought from the One Piece World, the disparity in military strength between the two sides was truly too great.
Minato absolutely dared not casually let three greenhorns onto the battlefield.
"Alright, come at me with the determination to kill me."
Minato said the same words as his silver-haired student would in the future, and tied the bell to his waist.
...
Meanwhile, at Jin's residence.
Facing Jinbei sitting cross-legged in front of him, Jin raised an eyebrow and said:
"You want to go back?"
Just ten minutes ago, Jinbei returned from the frontline battlefield in the Land of Hot Water and sought out Jin, expressing his wish to return to the One Piece World.
"Yes, the Revolutionary Army has a major operation, reportedly targeting Donquixote Doflamingo."
'The Dressrosa Arc?'
Jin instantly guessed the reason.
After all, he had meddled in this matter himself.
Back when he passed through Dressrosa, it was he who gave Viola the idea.
That pair of meat tank projectiles, probably K-cup, were still the most exaggerated Jin had ever seen.
"With Kuzan, a former Admiral, there, do they need to call back a Warlord like you?"
Jin was quite curious.
'Doflamingo's strength was pretty good, and one could say he perfectly realized his potential.'
'Too bad his upper limit was just that.'
'Koala bringing Aokiji should be more than enough.'
'Did they still need to call Jinbei over?'
"No, Kuzan has already been taken to Dressrosa by Commander Sabo. Koala was very angry when she found out because she originally planned to handle this matter herself. To prevent Sabo from acting recklessly, Koala said she wants to take me to Dressrosa to keep an eye on Sabo."
Jinbei scratched his cheek somewhat awkwardly.
'It felt like ever since Dragon died, the new Supreme Commander and new Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army often had conflicts.'
Jin almost laughed out loud.
After taking over as leader, Sabo, of course, couldn't run around everywhere like he did as Chief of Staff.
Most of the time, he had to stay in the rear and plan strategies.
But once it involved Luffy's matters, he acted like he had nails in his butt, unable to sit still.
However, Koala couldn't stand Sabo's behavior of using public resources for private purposes.
They, the Revolutionary Army, are formed to overthrow the World Government, not to be bodyguards for the brother of this brocon!
...
But Jin didn't force Jinbei to stay, waving his hand to indicate he didn't mind and should hurry off.
The waters in Dressrosa were quite deep.
Doflamingo himself was a former Celestial Dragon who knew the World Government's secrets.
And he had a not-shallow relationship with Kaido.
The Marines also dispatched an Admiral for the Dressrosa incident.
Calculating it this way, one could say the three major forces, Marines, Warlords, and Emperors, were all involved.
Bringing just one Admiral might not be enough.
"Much obliged!"
Jinbei bowed his head even lower.
To be honest, he felt Jin was quite easy to talk to.
The only thing that made Jinbei somewhat uncomfortable was the other's relationship with the Straw Hat crew.
After all, Jinbei himself had a good relationship with Luffy.
During the Summit War, the two formed a deep friendship while rescuing Ace.
Glancing at Jinbei's retreating back, Jin suddenly remembered something-
'If the Straw Hat crew had already entered Dressrosa, then nine times out of ten, they had hooked up with the Kozuki Clan from twenty years ago, right?'
'And in Dressrosa, while the Straw Hat crew's main forces were busy dealing with Doflamingo, Big Mom, because of her planned marriage alliance with the Vinsmoke Family, intervened midway and kidnapped Vinsmoke Sanji.'
But now, Big Mom was dead.
And he had taken over the Charlotte Family.
The Straw Hat crew naturally wouldn't split and reunite like in the original work… it felt like they were never really together.
The future plot direction of the One Piece World was something even Jin, a Transmigrator, couldn't be sure of.
The only thing he could determine was that the Revolutionary Army was destined to split.
Koala and Sabo's ideologies were gradually drifting apart.
Well, it definitely wasn't because Jin had slept with Koala.
"Ah, wait, Jinbei."
When Jinbei's back was only the size of a sesame seed, Jin suddenly remembered something and called out.
"Huh? What is it, Jin-san?"
The blue fatso, hearing this, hurriedly ran back.
"Take Orochimaru with you. That guy has been itching to go for a long time."
After Tsunade became the Fourth Hokage and the new Konoha was established, Orochimaru also learned from Jin about the existence of another world.
Purely in terms of technology tree, One Piece World completely surpassed Naruto World.
And Orochimaru, a Kage-level powerhouse with a skewed skill tree, had been longing for that world.
'If nothing went wrong, that bastard Caesar was on the Straw Hat ship, right?'
'It's perfect for Orochimaru to go learn a thing or two. After learning, I'll just have Orochimaru kill him.'
Jin really couldn't understand how a beast who conducted experiments on children could actually get along with the Straw Hat crew.
'So no matter how great the crimes you committed before, as long as you could unite with the Straw Hat crew, you could be redeemed?'
Buggy, Crocodile, Caesar... countless examples like this.
He was genuinely curious about how the innocents in Orange Town and Alabasta who were killed by these redeemed beasts would feel seeing these criminals living more comfortably than ever.
As for Momonosuke... he'd handle that personally.
How could such a fun thing be left to others?
...
Several days later.
"Jin-kun, there's been an unexpected development."
Orochimaru, returning from the One Piece World after the Dressrosa Incident, reported to Jin.
"Huh?"
As he was busy instructing Nami on using Jakuho Raikoben and occasionally getting some advantages, Jin glanced sideways.
Orochimaru spoke again: "The Revolutionary Army has split."
Hearing this, Nami and Robin, who are natives of the One Piece World, had their expressions change dramatically.
Especially Robin, her face turned frighteningly pale.
After all, during the nearly two years of the 3D2Y, she had been operating with the Revolutionary Army.
She had formed quite deep bonds with Koala, Sabo, and even Dragon and the others.
If she hadn't already joined the Straw Hat Pirates, she would have very much desired to become a member of the Revolutionary Army.
In Robin's view, the Revolutionary Army's cohesion was in no way inferior to the Straw Hat crew.
Split?
This word was something Robin could never associate with the Revolutionary Army.
"You came back specifically to report this little thing to me?"
Jin didn't care at all.
After all, it's something he had predicted long ago.
"Because the reason is somewhat related to you."
Orochimaru narrowed his eyes slightly and continued explaining:
"During the battle at Dressrosa, the relationship between Revolutionary Army's leader, Sabo and Straw Hat Luffy as sworn brothers was exposed. And the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates came to cause trouble."
"Huh?"
Now Jin became a bit interested.
'In the original work, the Dressrosa Arc had the Big Mom Pirates intervening.'
'How did it become the Whitebeard Pirates now?'
"There's a kid named Momonosuke on the Straw Hat Pirates' ship. This matter was reported to the Whitebeard Pirates by the new navigator of the Straw Hat Pirates, so they came to help him."
Orochimaru explained.
'The new navigator of the new Straw Hat Pirates?'
Hearing this, Nami's face also suddenly turned pale.
Although she had told Luffy and the others back on Sabaody Archipelago that she hoped they would find a new navigator, now that they really found a new one, Nami still felt a sense of being NTR'd.
