Kakashi took a group of people to hide on Biscuit Island. At this moment, he looked back at the distant sea and could vaguely see a black dot floating in mid-air.
If he didn't guess wrong, that little black dot should be Pops' old friend, right?
Can the other party fly?
"Hey! White-haired bastard, quickly return Mr. Cracker to us!" Just then, an officer of the Big Mom Pirates immediately shouted at Kakashi with a curved knife.
He had seen with his own eyes that Kakashi had fished their Mr. Cracker up.
"Sorry, he is a prisoner of our Whitebeard Pirates, we can't just give him back to you." Kakashi glanced at this pirate officer with his dead fish eyes.
"If you want to save him..." Kakashi formed a seal with one hand, and said expressionlessly: "Then you have to defeat me first."
The pirate officer with the curved knife immediately gritted his teeth: "Damn it! Our queen of Totto Land is about to take action soon, I hope you won't regret it then!"
Kakashi raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, he said: "Coincidentally, the captain of our Whitebeard Pirates is also about to take action."
Just as he was entangled with these pirate officers...
Big Mom in the distance had already approached the Moby Dick!
Big Mom looked at Whitebeard from afar, at this distance she could already see Whitebeard's figure!
"Mama, mama, this is really unexpected!"
Big Mom originally thought that Whitebeard was dead, so she brought her subordinates to seize the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates. Who would have thought that this man would come back to life.
But compared to the subordinates in the Big Mom Pirate Crew, Big Mom herself, as the captain, had no fear of Whitebeard at all.
Because both of them were on the same level, both were known as the "Four Emperors".
Don't look at Whitebeard carrying the title of the world's strongest man, but Big Mom didn't fear Whitebeard at all.
"Whitebeard!!!"
When Moby Dick was only two hundred meters away, Big Mom, standing on the thundercloud Zeus, let out a ferocious shout, "This is not a place for you to run wild!"
As soon as her voice fell, Big Mom tightly gripped the hilt of "Napoleon", her plump arms trembling.
"Elbaf Spear..."
Armament Haki had already covered Napoleon, and Big Mom even wrapped Conqueror's Haki around Napoleon, causing the sword body to flicker with black arcs.
"——Sovereign Blade!!!"
She let out a ferocious laugh and slashed at Moby Dick with a single sword!
The visible slash shockwave flew forward in a penetrating form, its speed so fast that it made Whitebeard squint slightly.
Where "Sovereign Blade" passed, the seawater below automatically parted to both sides, it was pushed open by the force of the slash, you could even see the coral at the bottom of the sea!
"Gurarararararara!"
Whitebeard lifted Murakumogiri, holding the hilt with both hands, and when "Sovereign Blade" was about to touch Moby Dick, he unceremoniously slashed out!
Murakumogiri was also wrapped in Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki!
Boom! Boom! Boom!!!
The first collision of Conqueror's Haki + Armament Haki caused a circle of visible surging shockwaves.
The shockwaves, like wind blades, swept in all directions.
The hull of Moby Dick seemed to be a bit shorter, and the shockwave lifted up waves that were tens to hundreds of meters high!
Whitebeard's arms suddenly exerted force, and with a single sword, he deflected Big Mom's "Sovereign Blade", and "Sovereign Blade" grazed Moby Dick and flew out towards the back.
Bang!!!
A group of people on Biscuit Island watched in astonishment as the shockwave from "Sovereign Blade" instantly pierced through two mountains on the island.
They also watched as these two mountains collapsed directly.
Dust filled the sky, almost covering half of the sky over Biscuit Island.
"Gulp!" A subordinate of the Big Mom Pirate Crew swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his face full of astonishment, "Too... too terrifying!"
Kakashi looked at the two collapsed mountains behind him, his pupils slightly contracted, "It looks... like an effortless attack."
Tsunade murmured to herself, "She's too reckless, doesn't she fear affecting the people on her own territory?"
Orochimaru had a smile on his lips, "Hehe... these two are monsters!"
...
On the other side.
Seeing that a single strike did not cause any damage to Whitebeard, Big Mom immediately jumped up from Zeus and leaped towards Moby Dick with her plump body.
Prometheus crawled on Napoleon above her head, and Napoleon in Big Mom's hand was already burning with raging flames.
Napoleon also changed from the shape of a double-edged great sword to the shape of a huge scimitar.
"Whitebeard, you don't look like you're at death's door at all!"
Big Mom held up her sword and laughed ferociously, "Emperor Sword: Sovereign Edge!!!"
Facing Big Mom's attack alone, Whitebeard's face also showed a ferocious smile, and the blade of Murakumogiri was already covered with a wave of vibration.
"Roar!!!"
Whitebeard roared, raised his sword and slashed upwards, Napoleon and Murakumogiri paused for a moment when they were about a meter apart.
Because this was the Conqueror's Haki of both sides competing!
Whitebeard's arm muscles were knotted, and his veins were bulging.
Big Mom's arms trembled.
The Conqueror's Haki of both sides intertwined for a full ten seconds before they collapsed, and the blade and blade collided at zero distance.
The harsh metallic sound burst out with dazzling sparks, the Moby Dick under Whitebeard's feet made an unbearable creaking sound, and several decks under his feet also shattered with it.
If the Moby Dick hadn't undergone a major transformation before, I'm afraid the whole ship would have to be overhauled after this hit.
"Gurararararara, crazy woman, if you damage my ship, you'll have to pay a hundred times!"
Whitebeard's brute force suddenly burst out, surpassing Big Mom in the contest of strength.
He directly chopped Big Mom's plump body and flew it out!
The vibration power wrapped around the blade of Murakumogiri also began to burst out instantly, and the entire atmosphere in front was filled with dense vibration cracks.
Zeus in mid-air was scared and hurriedly flew over to catch Big Mom.
As a result, Zeus also underestimated Whitebeard's brute force, and it was almost knocked into the sea by the force of Big Mom's flying out.
"What an outrageous brute old man!" Big Mom stood on Zeus again, the constantly vibrating atmosphere did not cause her any harm, after all, her body is known as the "Iron Balloon".
Bang!
Suddenly, Whitebeard jumped off the Moby Dick and confronted Big Mom in the air with the Geppo.
Whitebeard, with a ferocious smile on his face, didn't hesitate to punch the atmosphere in front of him.
The dense vibration cracks roared out like a blue dragon rushing towards Big Mom.
"Mama mama! Mother's Flame!!!"
Big Mom also unceremoniously returned the attack, the surging flames instantly turned into a sea of raging fire, the vibration force and the flames collided violently, causing a big explosion that could blow up a small town!
Big Mom stepped on Zeus's torn fire, ignoring the vibration and rushing towards Whitebeard, slashing down at Whitebeard's head with a knife.
This time, the blade was wrapped not in flames, but in dazzling thunder!
"Mother's Thunder!!!"
With a roar and scream from Big Mom, a large amount of thunder enveloped Whitebeard, and dense electric arcs covered the entire sea area.
But at this moment, a terrifying slash that could tear the sky apart, tore thousands of thunders to pieces.
The slash went straight to Big Mom, Big Mom's pupils shrank, but it was too late to dodge.
The slash hit Big Mom's chest on the spot, causing a wave of waves, and she was slashed and flew to a height of hundreds of meters.
"The moves of the Giant Tribe are not only known to you! Gurararararara! Don't think that if you change your name, I won't recognize you!"
Whitebeard sneered and slashed towards the blue sky: "Elbaf Spear·Hegemony!!!"
Boom!!!
The shock wave of Whitebeard's slash pierced the sky, causing Big Mom, who was slashed and flew to the high sky, to widen her eyes.
Big Mom quickly wrapped her arms in Armament Haki and crossed them in front of her.
Obviously, Whitebeard's sword made her a little unconfident in her body's defense.
When "Hegemony" collided with Big Mom's arms, the rolling clouds in the sky were all scattered and shattered, and the visible shock wave caused gusts of wind.
This also made the Biscuit Island below feel like a typhoon had passed, blowing the people on the island to stand firm.
Even the main ship of the Big Mom Pirates in the distance was severely affected, and the whole ship appeared so weak in front of the rolling waves.
A group of pirate executives on the ship were shocked by the waves.
"Is this the battle between the Four Emperors..."
Smoothie no longer doubted whether Whitebeard was the real Whitebeard. If he had the power to contend with Big Mom, who else could it be but Whitebeard?
Even as one of the Three Sweet Commanders, she was sweating profusely at this moment: "Fortunately, they are fighting at sea. If they were fighting on any island, that island would have been devastated."
Katakuri squinted his eyes, looking at the two figures in the distant sky: "Whitebeard should be using Geppo, right?"
"Using such a physically demanding Taijutsu to fight with Big Mom in the air, is this the 'World's Strongest Man's' confidence in himself?"
Although he is one of the Three Sweet Commanders of the Big Mom Pirates, this does not prevent Katakuri from admiring Whitebeard.
...
The terrifying aftermath of the battle between Whitebeard and Big Mom could be felt throughout the entire Totto Land.
Among them, a "seagull" was startled awake by the commotion.
"What's going on? What's going on?" Morgans hurriedly walked out of the bedroom of the hotel, looking up at the sky in a daze.
As one of the kings of the underworld, the president of the World Economic News Agency, Morgans appeared in Totto Land naturally because he smelled "big news" in advance.
After all, Whitebeard died at Marine Headquarters, so the Big Mom Pirates, one of the Four Emperors, would definitely not let go of the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates.
At that time, the Big Mom Pirates might have a big battle with the Whitebeard Pirates.
Perhaps this battle will cause the Whitebeard Pirates to be completely annihilated in the long river of history.
After all, in Morgans' view, how can the Whitebeard Pirates fight the Big Mom Pirates without Whitebeard?
This kind of "big news smell" made Morgans arrive at Totto Land early.
By then, as long as there is any movement, he can get the news at the first time, and write the news report at the first time.
And today, now, Morgans found…
He seemed to have really hit a big news.
"That is…"
He stared wide-eyed at the blue dome in the distance, and with just a pair of naked eyes, he could see the raging flames and thunder in the distant blue dome.
He could even see the dense atmospheric cracks spreading in the distant sky.
And there, thunderous explosions would sound from time to time. Anyone who is not a fool knows that something has happened in Totto Land!
"News bird! News bird!"
Morgans suddenly reacted, he hurriedly called a few news birds, and shouted at them: "Each bird carries a filming Den Den Mushi, fly over there and take the picture for me!"
"Wait, you also bring a live broadcast Den Den Mushi, broadcast the picture to me!"
Morgans didn't know where he pulled out a bunch of telephone receivers, and stuffed them to each news bird respectively.
Since the incident happened in the air, his reporters definitely couldn't get there.
Only the news birds can go to shoot.
"Caw! Caw!"
As a result, those news birds were scared to tremble by the scene in the distance, they didn't dare to approach there at all.
Morgans was so angry that he wanted to go into battle himself.
Unfortunately, he, a Zoan-type Bird-Bird Fruit: Albatross Fruit ability user…
He just can't fly.
"This is big news, big news! Can't you birds have a little professional spirit?!" Morgans gritted his teeth and could only endure the pain and shout: "Raise your salary! Can I raise your salary?!"
"As long as you can shoot the picture for me, not only will your salary increase by 200%, each bird will also have a generous bonus! 1 million Berries!"
As a stingy black-hearted boss, for Morgans to make such a promise is undoubtedly cutting flesh from his heart.
But in order to get the first-hand big news, he can only spend a lot of money.
A group of news birds actually understood what he said, they looked at each other, and flew towards there one after another.
With money, birds will sell their lives for you.
At this moment, the battle between Whitebeard and Big Mom had entered an intense phase of white-hot intensity in less than ten minutes.
Both sides were going back and forth.
Roars and screams accompanied each other, thunder and flames shone together, slashes and vibrations danced together.
The Biscuit Island, which was closest to the battle between the two sides, was suffering an unprecedented devastation.
Even if Whitebeard and Big Mom intentionally or unintentionally moved the center of the battle away from Biscuit Island, the aftermath of the battle between the Four Emperors, no matter how far away, was no joke.
As Big Mom let out a sharp roar and slashed at Whitebeard, who dodged, the slash entwined with flames and thunder fell on the sea
Chapter 3: Captain! The Ship is Ready.
The sound of the wind rushing past his ears was deafening as Naruto's eyes snapped open. Under the influence of the red chakra, his eyes turned into vertical slits, his fangs protruded and became sharp, and the whisker marks on his face grew rougher. At this moment, Naruto looked like a beast in human form.
But strangely, even though his face became ferocious, his will was not affected at all. He was still Naruto and did not lose control.
Above the valley, Jiraiya stood on a large tree, watching as Naruto's body emitted red chakra. His weathered face instantly showed shock and joy, "Did this kid succeed?"
Below the valley, the red chakra enveloped Naruto's body. The howling wind could not cause any harm. What had felt like knives cutting his face before now felt like a gentle breeze.
"I can feel it, that chakra." Naruto's eyes lit up. Without hesitation, he bit his right thumb, drawing blood, and quickly formed hand seals.
Boar - Dog - Bird - Monkey - Ram!
"Summoning Jutsu!" Naruto pressed his right hand into the air. With a shout and a massive consumption of chakra, he could clearly sense a huge body appearing in the smoke.
"Boom!"
"Where is this place?"
Four loud bangs echoed as a powerful voice pulled Naruto out of his intense chakra state.
Naruto landed on a large, dark red body. It still hurt a bit, but it was much better than hitting the ground.
"I'm saved." Naruto breathed a sigh of relief.
"Awesome! It's huge!" He looked at the massive dark red back beneath him. Although he couldn't see it completely, he could tell there was no tail, which meant...
"I did it!!!" Naruto shouted excitedly.
At this moment, Naruto was truly excited. Not only had he extracted Kurama's chakra, but he had also summoned such a large toad. Even the pervy sage would have to look at him differently now.
Jiraiya indeed looked at Naruto differently, but not because he had extracted Kurama's chakra. It was because this kid dared to mess around on Gamabunta's head. Except for Minato, Gamabunta didn't respect anyone, not even Jiraiya.
"Brat!" Sure enough, the next second, Gamabunta exploded in anger.
The toad arched its body, and Naruto almost uncontrollably fell, rolling towards Gamabunta's huge face. When he finally stopped rolling, he sat up, holding his head, and saw a toad face almost as big as Kurama's in front of him.
"Do you know whose head you're shouting on?" Gamabunta's huge frog eyes glared at Naruto, filled with undisguised anger. "This is the head of the toad boss, Gamabunta!"
Naruto froze.
The frog face in front of him gave him a completely different feeling compared to seeing Kurama. If seeing Kurama's huge body was more about fear, then facing Gamabunta, Naruto felt more... amused.
Yes, he saw amusement in Gamabunta's face.
Gamabunta frowned. This kid looked familiar, and this red chakra, those eyes, wait, what's with this kid's expression?
Gamabunta suddenly felt annoyed: "You idiot kid!"
The voice was loud,
and the powerful breath from his mouth blew Naruto away like a storm. Luckily, Naruto quickly grabbed Gamabunta's pipe, or he would have been blown away.
Naruto clung to the edge of the pipe, glancing at the abyss below, and swallowed hard.
If he fell down, he would probably be done for. Although most of the chakra he used was Kurama's, Naruto's own chakra was almost exhausted. Summoning again might not succeed.
In the sealed space, Kurama lay on the ground watching what was happening outside. Naruto, just like in the original story, was clashing with Gamabunta. However, when Gamabunta first appeared, he wasn't very likable. It wasn't until the second appearance during the Chunin exams that people realized he was a tough guy with a soft heart.
Moreover, the most important thing was that Gamabunta probably confirmed at that time that Naruto was the son of the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato, which led to him helping Naruto countless times later.
Although he kept calling Naruto 'kid, kid,' he actually cared a lot about him.
"Ku... Kurama!" Naruto shouted loudly, his back deformed by the wind pressure on Gamabunta's back, "Give me... give me some more chakra!"
He could feel that he was about to reach his limit, his chakra almost exhausted. The only way he could think of now was to borrow some more chakra from Kurama.
"No." Kurama watched with a smile.
His tone was a bit arrogant, sounding like he was unwilling, but actually, Kurama knew that if he gave Naruto his chakra after Naruto's chakra was exhausted, even if Kurama didn't intentionally influence Naruto, Naruto wouldn't be able to suppress the negative emotions in Kurama's chakra.
Naruto was too weak now.
"Ku~ra~ma~" Naruto's voice dragged on for a long time, his face covered in tears, snot, and saliva, his voice indistinguishable between crying and begging, "I really can't hold on anymore!"
Although he was reckless, this guy had some self-awareness.
"Ha, you need to believe in yourself." Kurama's face was full of amusement.
"You jerk!!!" Naruto was infuriated by Kurama's tone. "Damn it! Even if you don't lend me Chakra, I can still make it. Just watch!"
"Ah, the sealed space is so quiet~" Kurama pretended not to hear. "Naruto, the toad is ready."
"Damn it!!!" Naruto didn't understand what Kurama meant by that, but he could sense the malice in his words.
Kurama watched everything happening outside as if he were watching a movie, from Naruto's stubborn attempt to conquer Gamabunta to Gamabunta's reluctant serious response. In the end, Naruto's bet with Gamabunta ended in failure.
Anyway, Naruto passed out. Whether he won or lost, it was up to Gamabunta.
The moon had climbed into the sky at some point, and the stars filled the sky, shining like guiding lights on Gamabunta and Naruto.
Konohagakure was quiet at night, except for the hospital still in operation, with few places still lit.
As Gamabunta landed with a loud noise, all the doctors and nurses were attracted by the rising dust. They looked at the empty front yard with some surprise and confusion.
As the dust settled, two huge toad footprints were imprinted on the ground in the not-so-small front yard, and Naruto's figure lay quietly within them, his face still smiling as if he had dreamed of something happy.
The doctors carried Naruto into the hospital. They immediately saw why the child had fainted.
But that wasn't important. In the dark, starless sealed space, only shadows covered the inside of the gate, making Kurama's figure faintly visible.
"Bang!" Kurama 'gently' patted the gate, making a noise. "Hey, kid, the flower of hope has bloomed. How long do you plan to sleep here?"
Outside the gate, Naruto's figure lay in the water, the waves gently lapping at his mud-stained face.
Kurama's noise was loud enough to wake Naruto. His eyes slowly opened, staring blankly at the ceiling of the underground waterway.
A drop of water fell from the ceiling onto his face, the cold feeling instantly waking Naruto. He sprang up from the ground, sitting in the water and looking around in confusion. "Did I win?"
"Unfortunately, you lost." Kurama laughed sinisterly from behind.
"Huh?" Naruto turned his head, dumbly touching the back of his head. Then, as if realizing something, he angrily slapped the water. "Damn it, if I had enough Chakra, I would have won!"
After saying that, Naruto got up angrily and looked at Kurama. "If you had lent me Chakra then, I would have won for sure."
Indeed, if Naruto had had Chakra at that time, with his determination, as long as he didn't pass out, and Gamabunta didn't really go all out, he might have won.
Unfortunately, the last Shadow Clone Jutsu he used out of stubbornness left him exhausted, with not a drop of Chakra left, and he passed out.
"Hmph." Kurama grinned, pointing at Naruto outside the gate. "Even if you won with my help, would that be your own strength?"
Naruto was stunned.
Kurama continued, "If you can't even see your own strength and end up relying on me when you can't handle things, do you think you can still grow?"
Naruto was stunned by Kurama's sudden outburst. He scratched the back of his head, his confidence waning, "But aren't you a part of my strength?"
"Who told you that?" Kurama raised his chin disdainfully. "Kid, although I do have some fondness for you, I haven't acknowledged you yet. Right now, you're just a reckless brat."
"And if you think I'm part of your strength, let me ask you, do you really trust me?" Kurama stared at Naruto, his blood-red eyes reflecting Naruto's image.
Naruto froze in place.
Probably confused by Kurama's question, Naruto remained silent for a long time before slowly shaking his head, "I... don't trust you."
Yes! Kurama's expression showed that this was the answer he expected. "Then how dare you ask me to lend you chakra? Rent? I can give you the rent I've collected so far, but what if I want to move out now? Would you agree?"
No.
Naruto didn't need to answer for Kurama to know. He was the monster that almost destroyed Konohagakure twelve years ago. Even Naruto wouldn't be foolish enough to let him out, even if he claimed to have no interest in Konohagakure now.
Humans and monsters can talk, but monsters won't turn into humans.
The night sky outside was still brilliant, shining through the window onto Naruto's hospital bed, as if covering him with a layer of silver gauze.
The waterway in the sealed space remained dark, with a prison gate standing in the shadows. Outside the gate was Naruto, inside was the Nine-Tails.
One was silent, the other was smiling.
