Drunkards' Words Can't Be Trusted

Vegapunk believed that when the World Government was first established 800 years ago, there must have been a period of peaceful development and rapid progress. The First 20 Kings who were able to seize the world must have had abilities far exceeding those of ordinary people, regardless of their personal character.

However, calling the Celestial Dragons in the Pirate World pigs is an insult to the intelligence and abilities of pigs. At the very least, replacing all the Celestial Dragons with pigs would be far more beneficial than harmful to the development of that world.

This also shows the harm that an unchanging order can cause to the world.

Upon hearing Vegapunk's words, Nagato looked bewildered. It was no wonder that Nagato couldn't understand, since there had never been any political education in the Ninja World. Not to mention ninjas, even figures like Daimyo might only have a vague understanding of these things.

Secondly, battles between ninjas are far too frequent!

After the ninja village was established, there were three Ninja World War in just 50 years. In the Sengoku period, which lasted for nearly a hundred years before that, there was no day without war and constant fighting. There was no long period of peaceful rule. Therefore, Nagato could not imagine the harm that class solidification would bring after a long period of rule.

"Lord Vegapunk, according to you, is war inevitable? No matter how hard we try, war will eventually come?"

"To some extent, war is indeed unavoidable, but such frequent wars are absolutely contrary to the laws of development!"

Seeing that Nagato was getting stuck Nagato something, Vegapunk explained it to him directly.

"Under normal circumstances, the rules of war in a dynasty usually begin after about two or three hundred years of peaceful development, when the entire social class is completely solidified, with less than one percent of the upper class controlling ninety-nine percent of the resources, and the lower class struggling to make ends meet, and even unable to meet the standard of survival. Only then will war break out and the dynasty be completely changed."

"Moreover, with the development of technology and the gradual abundance of various resources, the period of peace will be greatly extended. With the current productivity of the Ninja World, it would probably take four or five hundred years to reach that standard. And if a new technological revolution occurs during this period, the period of peace will continue to be extended."

"As for the situation like now, with three Ninja World War in 50 years... it can only be said that these ninjas are inherently mentally unstable; they can't do anything right except fight and kill!"

Upon hearing this, Nagato's expression turned somewhat awkward, but she also let out a long sigh of relief.

The awkward expression on his face was because he was also a ninja, belonging to the same group of people who weren't very bright. As for the sigh of relief, for Nagato, four or five hundred years of peace was an unimaginable long time. If war broke out again in four or five hundred years, it wouldn't be something Nagato had to worry about.

In Nagato's eyes, if he could maintain peace for fifty or sixty years, it would be an immeasurable and unimaginable feat. Four or five hundred years of peace? Even the Sage of Six Paths couldn't do that!

Therefore, he didn't care much about the dynastic cycle law that Vegapunk mentioned, since his bones were probably all rotten by then anyway.

"I don't think it's necessary to consider things hundreds of years from now. Being able to maintain peace while I'm alive is enough to fulfill the wishes of Yahiko, Konan, and me!"

As Nagato said this, a sense of satisfaction and mission was on his face, while Vegapunk simply shrugged.

Although Vegapunk possessed technology capable of allowing people to live for over a thousand years, he did not intend to give it to Nagato. In a sense, after Vegapunk left, Nagato would be the ruler of this world, so to be on the safe side, it would be best for this ruler to have a shorter lifespan.

Vegapunk doesn't think he'll never be able to return to the Pirate World. In fact, he's already figured out some clues about traveling between worlds, which means he can't stay in this world for long. If Nagato's lifespan is too long and he doesn't appear for a long time, who knows if Nagato will have other ideas?

"Why isn't there even a tavern on the moon...?"

"Lady Tsunade, this isn't the time for drinking. Your research isn't finished yet..."

"But I have no interest in researching right now... I just want to get drunk!"

"You can't go on like this, sir! If you continue down this path, Lord Vegapunk will definitely ban you from accessing the Chakra Network!"

Upon hearing this, the blonde, fair-skinned, voluptuous beauty slumped down, covering her face with her hands, her voice even trembling with a hint of tears:

"I can't stay here for even a minute longer... All I want to do now is go to the Dream World Space, even if I stay there forever and never wake up again, I never want to come back here!"

"How about I get completely drunk? When I'm drunk, I won't think about anything!"

The more one pursues illusory happiness, the more painful one will be in reality when one is sober, because Tsunade in reality knows very well that her relatives and loved ones have long been dead, and everything she has done is just deceiving herself.

Just as Tsunade was still feeling dejected, a faint aroma of alcohol immediately made her look up:

"Where's that smell of wine coming from? Who's drinking? When did they start serving wine here?"

The ecosystem on the moon is actually very fragile due to the small size of the environment. Although the Otsutsuki Clan small in number and therefore has relatively abundant resources on average, they have never brewed luxury goods like sake made from grains.

Furthermore, since the Otsutsuki on the moon had almost no interaction with the Ninja World, there was naturally no possibility of any alcohol flowing in from the outside.

When Tsunade followed the aroma of the sake to its source, she was somewhat surprised to find that the aroma was coming from a small, luxurious villa.

"Isn't that Vegapunk's house? Does that guy drink too?"

Tsunade swallowed twice, somewhat hesitant, but just then, the door to the room opened.

"Uh... it's Miss Hancock..."

Tsunade looked up and saw a stunningly beautiful woman with cascading black hair and a princess hairstyle looking at her with an impatient expression.

"What are you doing outside my room? You've been pacing back and forth for over ten minutes! Are you perhaps trying to peek at my beauty?!"

We're all women, after all! You'd be more right if I were eyeing that handsome Vegapunk guy!

Tsunade thought to herself, but she had to admit that the narcissistic woman in front of her did have the right to say such things. Despite her arrogant, rude and rude attitude towards her, her stunningly beautiful face still made Tsunade's heart skip a beat.

Perhaps only Vegapunk could tame this kind of woman. This woman is strong, has a terrible personality, and is so beautiful that she leaves people speechless. Only in front of Vegapunk does she show her gentle, girlish side.

While her mind was filled with all sorts of thoughts, Tsunade didn't argue with Hancock. Firstly, Tsunade was still in a period of depression, and secondly, she knew that Hancock wasn't someone who could reason with people.

Most importantly, Tsunade still needs someone's help!

"That..."

Tsunade peeked into the room briefly, Tsunade swallowed hard.

"Miss Hancock, do you have any wine here?!"

"Clam!?"

Hancock tilted her head, her expression somewhat strange:

"I remember you were given a lot of tasks, weren't you? Instead of completing them properly, you came here to drink!!"

"Well... just a little bit is enough. Besides, a good drink will give you more inspiration and energy to complete the mission!"

Tsunade, with a shameless grin, said that if it were anyone else in the Ninja World, they probably wouldn't believe such nonsense. However, Hancock, who came from the Pirate World, believed it.

There's no way around it, there are way more drunkards in the Pirate World than in the Ninja World, and the idea that the more you drink, the more energetic and inspired you become is actually true in the Pirate World!

There aren't many pirates with this kind of ability, but they aren't exactly rare either. Hancock naturally categorized Tsunade as one of these types of people, never expecting that Tsunade was just rambling on about drinking.

"Hmph! How useless! For your sake, I'll let you enjoy some of my treasured wine! Be grateful and admire my generosity!"

Hancock, head held high, initially looked down on Tsunade, but eventually agreed. After all, although Hancock's personality was terrible, she wasn't petty despite coming from the Pirate World.

Of course, a condescending attitude was inevitable. In Hancock's view, apart from Vegapunk, the other ninjas could only be considered her subordinates, and anything she gave them was merely a reward.

Tsunade didn't care about Hancock's attitude. As soon as she heard that Hancock was willing to give her sake, she looked impatient and quickly walked in.

In the middle of the villa, there was a cabinet filled with fine wines. Hancock possessed the space of the Heavenly Realm Space, so she was naturally not hindered by the distance between the Earth and the Moon, making it very easy for her to obtain fine wines.

Most of the drinks are wines suitable for women. Although there are many women in the Pirate World who are also drinkers, they mostly prefer wine to stronger rum.

There was also a portion of sake, which is the best-selling and most common alcoholic beverage in the Ninja World. Tsunade's eyes were fixed on it, and she was practically drooling.

Tsunade doesn't really like elegant drinks like wine; she usually drinks ordinary sake. But given Hancock's personality, the drinks she keeps in her cabinet can't possibly be ordinary.

Tenten, who was always heavily in debt and only Tsunade in roadside taverns, hadn't had such high-end drinks in a long time.

She opened the cabinet, poured herself a glass of wine, took a satisfying sip, Tsunade then let out a long sigh of relief.

Across from her, Hancock rested her face on one hand and swirled her wine glass in the other, seemingly lost in thought.

Tsunade could tell at a glance that Hancock's spirit had entered the Chakra Illusion Space to some extent. With Vegapunk's modification of the Chakra Illusion Space, in addition to the mode of being completely immersed in the Genjutsu space, there is now a mode where only a small part of the spirit browses the contents of the Genjutsu space, which is similar to browsing the Internet normally.

Sensing that Hancock's spirit wasn't paying attention to her, Tsunade glanced at the liquor cabinet, a look of longing on her face.

After Hancock had circled the Chakra Network twice and then had a long Chakra phone conversation with Vegapunk, enjoying some special fun, she finally brought her attention back to reality.

"Hmm, does keeping a certain distance really make things more interesting? My darling will definitely like me even more this way... What's going on?!"

When Hancock came to her senses, she saw seven or eight bottles of liquor on the table. Tsunade, whom she had kindly brought along, was now fast asleep, her head buried in the table, reeking of alcohol.

Slowly widening her eyes, Hancock felt a surge of anger rising within her—was this what they meant by being more energetic and inspired when drunk? Wasn't this just a complete alcoholic?!

Yes, there are indeed people in the Pirate World who are more energetic and inspired after drinking, but most of them are definitely just pure drunkards. Hancock has seen quite a few of these drunkards, but she never expected to be fooled this time!

Hancock reached out and grabbed Tsunade's ear. Tsunade cried out in pain and opened her eyes, still groggy.

"You rascal, saying that drinking makes you more energetic and inspired is all a lie! You're incredibly audacious!"

If Tsunade were still lucid, she would have definitely humbled herself and tried to get away with it by making jokes in the face of Hancock's unfriendly tone.

Putting aside Hancock's relationship with Vegapunk, Hancock's terrifying strength—enough to easily wipe out the entire Ninja World —was enough to make Tsunade back down.

However, Tsunade was currently a drunkard. As everyone knows, drunk people are truly fearless. After hearing Hancock's words, Tsunade grinned and pushed Hancock's chest, mumbling as she spoke:

"Gulp, hehe, you actually believed that... Isn't it obvious... What's the point of researching... That bastard Vegapunk... Why can everyone else... but I can't access the Chakra Network... I'll beat him to a pulp one day!"

Hancock's face grew increasingly dark, a hint of coldness creeping into her eyes. After hearing Tsunade finish speaking, she finally couldn't hold back and let out a cold laugh:

"How shameless! You were only able to enter the Dream World Space with your darling's help, but you blame her because you didn't finish your work!"

"A woman like you is not worth your darling's attention at all!"

As Hancock grew enraged, her powerful Chakra aura erupted, instantly sobering Tsunade up. Her Chakra circulated, and the alcohol was immediately broken down. Looking at the furious Hancock before her, Tsunade recalled what she had just said and felt like crying.
