It was a sunny and breezy day, and many farmers gathered in the fields to work.
The fields were filled with everything one could see during the busy farming season; the warm, rural atmosphere made Jigen frown unhappily.
Farmers, farmers!
Everywhere I look, there are farmers who are not worth training!
If things continue like this, how long will it take for me to slowly regain my strength, then cultivate more promising talents, and finally turn around and kill that despicable lower-ranking guardian, Kaguya!
Despite it being a conventional tree-planting process, the Otsutsuki Clan has relied on this process to slowly expand their territory from the very beginning.
By planting Divine Tree on a planet, absorbing nutrients from the planet through the Divine Tree, and finally sacrificing a lower-ranking guardian to the Divine Tree, one can obtain Chakra Fruit.
At that time, as a member of the high- Ōtsutsuki Main Family, I will be able to enjoy the Chakra Fruit and thus obtain an immortal body and eternal life!
As for the massive amount of chakra generated during that period, that was merely a byproduct of immortality!
It's reasonable that immortals possess a certain level of power, isn't it?
But!
But just when he was planting trees, that lowly maidservant dared to attack him!
Not only did she not follow tradition in sacrificing herself, but she also sacrificed herself, who had been ambushed and seriously injured, to the Divine Tree!
Fortunately, he managed to shrink his body using the Sukunahikona, which allowed his upper body to escape.
Even though the power contained in his mere lower body was already greater than that of the lowly servant girl who was supposed to give her everything!
Therefore, even if you don't get all of yourself.
The Divine Tree still bore Devil Fruit!
After that, his upper body barely encountered someone who happened to be passing by, so he used his last strength to leave a wedge on that person's body!
Although he regained a body that allowed him to move around with difficulty, he was unable to reclaim the Chakra Fruit that was rightfully his!
Because that damned lowly maid has already eaten the Devil Fruit, she now possesses power equivalent to that of an adult Ōtsutsuki Main Family, that is, a main family member who has regularly eaten the Chakra Fruit!
As for myself, I must carefully hide and constantly recover and accumulate my strength.
Or perhaps, he must wait for attention and assistance from the Ōtsutsuki Main Family!
Well, the Ōtsutsuki Main Family probably won't realize something's wrong for over a thousand years; that's a whole bunch of immortals.
Therefore, instead of hoping for support from the main family, I should try my best to increase my own strength and strive to reclaim the Chakra Fruit on my own!
On the one hand, a thousand years is far too long.
On the other hand...
If the other clans saw him in this disheveled state...
Even if I manage to retrieve the Chakra Fruit, I'll still be laughed at by those guys for the rest of my life!!!
Thinking this, Jigen walked unhappily toward the farmers.
He has had the wedge inserted into this body for over a week.
A small portion of their strength has been restored.
At the same time, the village in front of us is a small, isolated village that is almost ignored by the world.
I'll settle here temporarily and stay out of that wretched maid's sight!
However, the thought of living with a group of indigenous people who were infinitely more lowly than slaves was unbearable.
Jigen.
No, it should be called the Isshiki Ōtsutsuki.
He always felt a strange sense of sadness and shame!
In the distance, some people had already spotted Jigen approaching.
So, the children who were supposedly there to help with the farming, but were actually just playing in the fields, were the first to approach Jigen.
"He's an older man from out of town!"
"Would you like some water, sir? You can come to my house; we'll treat you to a good meal!"
"Have some candy, have some candy! Uncle, are you a peddler? Uncle, do you sell candy?"
Listening to the children's chatter, Jigen hummed twice in annoyance, but on the surface he forced a smile at them.
"I'm not a peddler, I'm just a wandering traveler hoping to rest in your village for a while."
"Wow, wandering traveler, sir, are you a samurai?"
"Idiot! Samurai always carry swords. Look at this old man, he doesn't have a sword. He's clearly a ronin!"
"The ronin was so cool! My grandpa always talks about a ronin who passed by more than ten years ago. That ronin not only built a waterwheel for us, but also taught my grandpa swordsmanship!"
"Forget it, Jiro, your swordsmanship is just wildly swinging a wooden stick!"
Amidst the children's chattering, Jigen's smile grew increasingly awkward. As he forced a laugh, he glanced at the adults walking towards him.
For the next period of time, he would be living with this group of adult indigenous untouchables.
Only by living in such a humiliating environment could I have a chance to avoid being noticed by that lowly servant Kaguya!!!
In the distance, the adults in the village were planning to come and ask Jigen why she had come.
But just as they approached Jigen...
They suddenly couldn't help but look up at the distant sky!
At the same time, Jigen couldn't help but widen his eyes and stare blankly at the sky.
In the western sky, a fiery Meteor streaked across the heavens at breakneck speed!
Within that raging flame, Jigen saw that it was no ordinary meteorite!
Instead, it was a gigantic human figure with horns!!!
Although he had never seen that figure before, Jigen was still excited immediately.
In his view, anything with horns must be Otsutsuki!
As for why I've never seen it before, humph!
I only know the main family members, who would pay attention to the numerous branch families!
Who knows which branch family member this Otsutsuki who's landed here is?
Although he didn't know why he came, it was surprising that someone he didn't recognize had come to the planet where he and Kaguya were responsible for planting trees!
Before the Divine Tree bears fruit, he would definitely worry that this clansman has come to steal the Devil Fruit from him.
But now...
Right now, all he wants is to see that stranger from last year!
The Chakra Fruit has already been eaten, so no matter what the other party's intentions are, I won't suffer a loss!
If the other party brings a message from his own clan, then he can order the other party to fight Kaguya with him!
If they come to steal the Chakra Fruit, that's perfect!
The Chakra Fruit is inside that wretched Kaguya's belly!
If you want to eat her, let's hang Kaguya back on the Divine Tree together first!!!
With that thought in mind, Jigen quickly left the village and rushed towards the direction where the humanoid meteorite had fallen.
And that humanoid meteorite...
With a bewildered look in Jigen's eyes, he suddenly crashed into the deep mountains, causing the ground within a radius of hundreds of meters to collapse!
Feeling the faint tremors from the ground, Jigen, who was on his way, was stunned for a moment, then chuckled.
It's probably a really foolish and disastrous decision to split up the family property.
Aside from those who have split up, what well-established main family would descend into such a disgraceful manner!
Regardless, a branch family that dares to land like this must be at least quite powerful!
So...
Kaguya Otsutsuki, your nightmare has begun!!!
On the other hand, in the sky.
Gawain suddenly opened his eyes.
Kaido's screams echoed in his ears until finally, Kaido suddenly fell silent!
The instant Kaido's voice completely disappeared, Gawain suddenly felt an excruciating pain!
The sensation came on so quickly that he didn't even have time to scream before his vision blurred and he passed out.
Just before losing consciousness, Gawain vaguely saw the planet below.
Hmm, it's a planet with life. I can see land and sea, but the shape of the land is different from any of the states I've ever seen.
With his last thoughts, Gawain fainted from the pain. Losing consciousness, he could no longer control his body. Kaido's physique was out of control, and in the blink of an eye, he overcame the Seimei Kikan technique, causing his body to swell and two horns to grow on his head.
And then...
Bang!!!
After landing hard, Gawain smashed into the ground!
The impact woke him up. He felt the pain in his body and slowly stretched out his hands, digging his way out from the ground.
Finally breathing in the scorching air, Gawain took a deep breath and then carefully surveyed his surroundings.
Aside from the crater it created, the surrounding area is filled with mountains and forests, making it a truly habitable planet.
Having confirmed his survival status, he nodded in satisfaction, then casually tore off his tattered clothes.
It was ignited by the friction of landing, and then expanded by Gawain.
His clothes had long since lost their shape!
Forget about the pants.
No matter where he was, whether there was Qi-Body Origin Stream or not, whether it was moonlight or not, he didn't want to expose his manhood to outsiders.
But clothes don't matter.
Gawain casually tossed his tattered clothes aside, raised his right hand, and pressed down seemingly without much force.
Instantly, his Haki, along with the stirred air, pulverized his clothes and the ground into powder.
Gawain gently clenched his right fist.
Very good, even though I can't use my Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
But aside from the Devil Fruit locked within one's own soul.
Whether it's his swordsmanship, his Haki, or his physical calligraphy.
They all came with him into this temporary body filled with Kaido's power.
So, what I lack is a knife, and also... a spiked club!
Thinking about interesting things, Gawain walked out of the ruins and grabbed a nearby tree.
With a simple wave of his hand, the trees in front of him were instantly sliced into pieces, eventually becoming a wooden knife and a wooden spiked club.
Under the influence of Armament Haki, even simple materials can possess extraordinary hardness. Although Gawain didn't expect them to play a significant role, with these two items, he could at least guarantee that he could use 80% of his techniques.
After resolving the weapon shortage, Gawain turned around and looked around.
Next, I need to figure out what kind of world I actually live in!
Upon arriving in the New World, keeping a low profile in the early stages was both wise and necessary, so Gawain neither transformed into a dragon nor used Geppo to ascend to the heavens.
He walked at a normal pace, slowly leaving the crater he had left behind.
Following the sound of water detected by his Observation Haki, Gawain arrived at the stream and used Seimei Kikan on the water.
After shrinking his horns and returning his body to a normal size, he...
Gawain finally decided to follow the clues he had discovered with his Observation Haki and find the people of this world to inquire about the situation!
But just as Gawain was about to leave, he suddenly frowned.
In his Observation Haki perception, a presence suddenly appeared six or seven kilometers away from him!
That's right, that aura appeared without any trace; it just appeared out of nowhere.
Although Gawain's Observation Haki is not currently aided by the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, it cannot reach the terrifying level of his Mantra.
But he still believed in his Observation Haki, and even his Observation Haki couldn't find the trajectory of that aura's movement!
It appeared suddenly, as if by teleportation!
This situation made Gawain very wary; the world beneath his feet was at least one with teleportation abilities, a dangerous world indeed!
With this in mind, Gawain went even further to conceal himself, intending to keep a low profile and first gather intelligence about this world from the shadows.
That said, is the world of Pirate King beginner's world?
So he has an identity in the Pirate World, but no one in this world?
With that thought in mind, Gawain quietly left, but he had only taken two steps when a pitch-black hole suddenly appeared opposite him!
The moment he saw the black hole clearly, Gawain narrowed his eyes and stood still.
At the same time, a figure emerged from the black hole.
This person had a slightly messy ponytail, the kind where the sides are shaved...
Also, there is a symbol resembling Roman script below the corner of his left eye.
Overall, although this person's clothes were a bit messy, his appearance was very imposing.
However, there was no elegance in this man's eyes; he looked exceptionally anxious, or rather... exceptionally greedy!!!
As Gawain silently assessed the newcomer, the man looked Gawain up and down, then frowned.
"Why did you also leave a wedge? Were you already injured?"
No wonder you landed in such a haphazard way. Did you run into trouble on another planet and then flee to the planet I'm in charge of in a panic?
After saying that, the man waited indifferently for Gawain's reply.
And Gawain...
His brow furrowed and his spine tightened.
There was so much hidden in what the other person said, so much!
Planet!
Damn it, they're measuring the journey in units of planets!
I just wonder how many people like him can move at the planetary level.
No matter how many, we must be careful, because any civilization capable of leaving our planet must be far more powerful than Earth, which can magnify satellites and Little Boy!
What's more, they came knocking on my door the moment I landed!
Whether it's because their surveillance measures are too strong or because there are too many of them, to the point that they can be stationed even in the deepest mountains and forests.
Neither of these two points being true will be good for me!
Furthermore, the other person's tone was extremely absolute; he even concluded that he and the other person shared the same origin and were on the same side based on the way the other person appeared out of nowhere.
It's obvious that I couldn't possibly be any of the people they know!
But he never doubted his own identity.
This news made Gawain's brow furrow again. If this world were truly controlled by a force capable of leaving the planet, even to the point of becoming an unbreakable monolith, then...
In a world lacking chaos as its foundation, even if one brought all the power from the Pirate King world, it would be difficult to achieve anything quickly, and one would even have to face one fierce battle after another!!!
Thinking this, Gawain relaxed his furrowed brows and revealed an extremely gentle smile.
But just as he was about to say something to the guy opposite him with a smile, he saw the guy's expression change.
"No, something's not right!"
The person opposite suddenly spoke.
"I feel like something's not right. Who exactly are you?"
When has our Otsutsuki Clan ever had someone who smiles so brightly like you!
Damn it, is there really other life forms in the universe that possess the technology to travel through space?
And also, who exactly are you?!
Where did it come from, and why did it come here?!
