Dancing Powder, the Strongest Ability (3rd Update)

Upon hearing Naruto Uzumaki's words, everyone exchanged bewildered glances.

The cage was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Sanji and Zoro's eyes fell on Naruto, and they felt an urge to punch him.

They asked in unison, "Can you still use your abilities?"

"Certainly."

Naruto nodded and created several clones, which transformed into the appearance of beautiful girls.

He gave himself a thumbs-up, seeking praise, and said, "Impressive, right!"

"Marvelous!"

Usopp's eyes sparkled as if he had seen the Chosen One: "As expected of the First Mate! As the first officer of the Straw Hat Pirates, I acknowledge you!"

After speaking, the Green-haired fellow, Curly Eyebrows looked at the long-nosed man with a somewhat dangerous gaze.

No matter how much the Straw Hat Pirates joked and played around.

The rest is quite simple.

Naruto Uzumaki Hand Seals and created several clones containing the Nine-Tails Chakra and internal energy outside the cage.

Internal energy is a highly compatible force. Although it is also suppressed by the Pirate Plane and can only exert about half of its effectiveness, it is still much stronger than Chakra.

Seastone is able to counteract Devil Fruit because it emits the scent of the ocean.

Neither internal energy nor Chakra has the weakness of "fearing seawater".

Naruto manipulated the situation, knocking out the cell guard, hiding him, and then stealing the key.

Open the cell and unlock Luffy's Seastone Shackles.

After that, he unleashed his initial Golden finger.

Asian makeup magic.

The group, dressed in naval uniforms, Earth Flow the prison openly and without attracting much attention.

Luffy grinned, patted Naruto on the shoulder, and laughed heartily, "You're pretty capable!"

He was clearly a teenager, but when he smiled, he looked like an elderly woman, possessing an unexpected charm.

"Straw Hat Kid Luffy, the Golden Army Naruto, and the bounty hunter Zoro have escaped!"

"Catch them!"

"You damned pirate! Don't run away if you dare!"

Shouts and jeers rose from behind.

The Straw Hat Pirates made a hasty escape.

Marine Headquarters, Marineford.

On the naval ensign fluttering in the wind, there is a seagull holding a scale in its beak.

This symbolizes peace and order.

No matter how many dark secrets there are, at least on the surface, the Navy still appears sufficiently glorious and righteous.

Cannon fodder soldiers dressed in blue and white uniforms and hats moved about in droves.

Nami, standing on the ram of the warship, narrowed her eyes slightly, her short orange hair brushing against the side of her face.

"This is my stage."

It is said that the difference in strength between the headquarters and the branch is a full Third Order.

A colonel in the Marine Branch, upon reaching headquarters, is at best equivalent to a captain.

However, Nami is Logia Devil Fruit User with the ability to fly, allowing her to be considered separately from this system and calculated differently.

After entering Marineford Rear Admiral general, Nami was given her own temporary single room.

After a short week of rest, she attended a meeting convened by the Fleet Admiral Sengoku.

The conference hall was filled with outstanding individuals and formidable leaders.

Standing atop the crowd are the Three Admirals — Aokiji, the Devil Fruit User; Kizaru, the Devil Fruit User; and Akainu, the Devil Fruit User.

The three men, cloaked in righteousness, all appeared taciturn and lazy, seemingly unconcerned about the meeting of the Fleet Admiral Sengoku.

The Fleet Admiral Sengoku, wearing a seagull hat, looked around at everyone and said in a serious tone, "Some time ago, the Alabasta Imperial Family sent a request for assistance."

Upon hearing this, the generals began to discuss it amongst themselves.

"That desert country?"

"I heard that supplies are very scarce, especially water."

"However, the Santa Maria, sea catfish, running duck, Santa Maria catfish, banana alligator, amphibious tortoise, and Kung Fu Dugong manatee there taste good."

"You can try mixing Masca cactus and dates together; it's invigorating and can make you feel great."

The Fleet Admiral Sengoku clapped his hands, stopping everyone from veer off-topic.

"It is suspected that someone abused Dancing Powder, causing most of Alabasta to dry up and become barren."

He said solemnly, "What I mean is, send a few people to investigate the situation and resolve this crisis."

So-called "Dancing Powder" is a rain-inducing agent that can steal rain cumulus clouds from other areas to create artificial rain.

Doing this in small villages is harmless.

For a large country, doing so is like drinking poison to quench thirst; it's pointless to redirect a bullet meant for the brain to the heart.

"Heh... Does the Dancing Powder really have such a powerful effect?"

Rear Admiral Nami spoke with a playful expression and without any restraint, "I heard that Crocodile, one of the Shichibukai Devil Fruit User, is also in that country."

The woman's terrifying intuition led her to uncover the truth from seemingly unrelated pieces of information.

The Fleet Admiral Sengoku gave her a meaningful look but offered no comment.

Although Nami is only a Rear Admiral, she is different from those hot-headed, reckless men.

She may possess the greatest power in the world.

Don't misunderstand.

It's not the Gas-Gas Fruit.

That thing is good for saving lives, and its combat power might be considerable after the Devil Fruit Awakening, but in Sengoku's eyes, it's at most at the level of the Three Admirals.

Nami's most terrifying, most frightening, and most feared superpower is...

Super rich!

In just one week since arriving in Marineford, she has already cultivated many connections among the Celestial Dragons.

At the same time, Nami showed great favor to junior and mid-ranking officers, gaining a large following within the Marine Headquarters and earning a reputation that was so good it was almost unbelievable.

"Is there anyone willing to go to Alabasta?"

The Fleet Admiral Sengoku were looking forward to their generals volunteering for the mission.

After all, as one of the superpowers on Lodestar Island, Alabasta is also World Government Member States and attends the Reverie in Holy Land Mary Geoise every four years.

It would be unreasonable for them not to offer any assistance or support to this country after such a major disaster.

Everyone fell silent.

No one wanted to go to that place, including the carnivore and drug addict general from before; they all lowered their heads.

The harsh environment is only one of the reasons.

Crocodile, Shichibukai, is not someone to be trifled with.

This person wields immense power, possessing a dedicated studio for handling "black market" incidents, with thousands of elite members under his command.

This is a thankless and arduous task!

If nothing is found, you'll get a "poor performance" rating.

If they find something, things will get even worse.

They might just disappear from the face of the earth one day.

"Okay, then I'll have to choose people."

The Fleet Admiral Sengoku sighed, his tone somewhat disappointed.

This matter was very difficult even for him.

On one side is Alabasta, and on the other side are the Shichibukai.

After weighing the options, he made a decision...
