270 Roger Pirates Apprentice

"East Blue, huh… this time I definitely won't get it wrong."

"But which direction is Foosha Village again? The kingdom it belongs to… was it called Goa?"

Orin held several Eternal Poses in one hand and an East Blue map in the other, rubbing his chin as he tried to figure out the direction.

Tired from swimming, he decided to drop the act altogether, sitting cross-legged on ...

"Bang—"

The trigger was slowly pulled.

That same pistol, the one that had once killed his own father, was now aimed by Doflamingo at his younger brother—Rosinante.

Why...

Why!!!

He was my dearest brother!

He had even thought more than once that, when the time was right, he would bring Rosinante back with him to the Holy Land.

All their past pain and...

"We'd better run, nya!"

Scar's rolls of fat trembled violently with fear. It was just a ninja cat with no combat ability whatsoever—facing a Tailed Beast meant only one thing: death.

"That damn Sunagakure, actually using a Tailed Beast against me!" Renya growled, looking unhappily toward the distant, roaring Shukaku. "Good thing I left a Flying Thunder God mark beforehand, or I'd ...

Land of Wind, Sunagakure.

"Kazekage-sama, bad news!"

A Sunagakure ninja burst into the office in a rush, not even bothering to knock.

"What happened?"

The Third Kazekage, Shamon, frowned as he asked.

Normally, the guards wouldn't be this flustered—unless something truly serious had happened.

"Alright, got it. Thanks, Makino!"

Garp hung up the Den Den Mushi and turned toward Dragon, his face dark.

Under Dragon's puzzled gaze, Garp opened his mouth and roared furiously,

"Just look at how you've raised your son! Do you even know that Luffy's become a pirate? Huh!?"

Dragon narrowed his eyes and endured the spit flying at his face. When Garp finally finished vent...

Night had fallen, and the palace of Kaito was lively and filled with laughter—especially with the addition of Conis and Yamato.

When Conis first arrived, she was a bit shy. But with Yamato's naturally open and cheerful energy, she gradually relaxed, and after dinner, she even played her beloved harp for everyone.

Gion listened in surprise—she had never once heard her student pla...

The entire Land of Grass was now marked by traces of Iwagakure's presence.

Even with his Transparent Release activated, Gekko Chizan moved with his heart pounding in his chest.

As soon as he entered the Land of Grass, temporary outposts appeared one after another in his sight.

On the path where Konoha's couples loved to take evening walks, Obito had just met up with Rin after her shift and was enthusiastically bragging about his so-called heroic exploits.

Inside the dungeon, Yashamaru's hands were bound tightly behind his back, his eyes covered by a thick blindfold. His lips were swollen and bruised — clearly, he'd been beaten.

Outside, one of the Internal Affairs shinobi responsible for capturing him grumbled irritably to his comrade,

"Wait, I didn't do anything! Kiyosuke-san, you have to believe me!" Naruto shouted from inside the cage.

Kiyosuke crouched down and said,

"Naruto, I'm sorry. There's nothing I can do. This has already become a diplomatic issue between the villages. Kumogakure and Iwagakure both need an answer. Don't worry—I'll investigate and find out the truth."

"Madara, how much do you think Renya stole from the exchange house?"

Senju Hashirama curiously leaned toward his best friend and asked.

Was it a hundred million? Three hundred million? Five hundred million? Or even a billion?

"Why are you still following me?"

In a forest within the Land of Rivers, Renya finally couldn't hold back his irritation as he looked at Kakuzu, who had been tailing him the whole way.

He'd treated him to a meal out of good mood — and now this guy was clinging to him?

If he'd known it would turn out like this, he would never have treated him to dinner in the first place.

"Ugh..."

Orin leaned lazily against the side of the ship, honestly surprised that he'd somehow swum all the way to the North Blue by pure coincidence.

From the looks of it, there was quite a crowd gathered here.

And among them—he recognized quite a few familiar faces.

Before Vergo could respond, Orin asked again,

After listening to the assassin ninja's confession, Shinju finally understood everything.

In short, all of this evil… was done by Mōsō!!

Shinju didn't answer right away.

Instead, he watched quietly as the Ghost Samurai flew off into the distance.

During their brief fight earlier, he had secretly placed a Flying Thunder God mark on his opponent.

Once the Ghost Samurai returned to wherever he came from, Shinju would only need to teleport over — and the man's true identity would naturally be revealed.

Five aged figures sat in a deathly silence.

On the screen before them, the final scene was frozen.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

A violent fit of coughing. Yukimaru had never been this close to death before; that brush with oblivion left a chill in the air.

"How was it? What does dying feel like? Have you grasped the true meaning of living?" Kiyosuke crouched down to meet Guren's eyes. Even after she'd used a crystal to cleave his head in two, his smile hadn't faded.

The Three-Tails simply stayed put like a fat couch potato, lying at the bottom of the lake without moving.

Although it was a tailed beast shaped like a turtle, its habits were the same as a turtle's — motionless, curled up at the bottom of the lake as if it were hibernating.

Kiyosuke didn't waste words. He made a subtle hand signal to Obito, then said,

Obito's sudden, unplanned trip truly opened Yōwan's eyes.

He had mobilized the full power of Amegakure, yet still failed to find any trace of Obito.

When he lowered his head to report this to Jigen, Yōwan had already braced himself mentally for death.

A too shared that sentiment.

Within the organization's inner circle, Yōwan's actions as of late were hardly a secret. ...

Tsunade remained silent for a moment.

The idea of an assassination operation was good, but given the current situation, the level of danger was far too high.

Iwagakure's forces were already fully mobilized, and the Kamizuru clan was hidden among them — that made things much more difficult.

There was no other choice. She could only turn her gaze once again toward Gekko Chizan...
