Damn it!
Gawain couldn't understand why his honed, top-notch, kind smile would become his Achilles' heel!
What kind of race are you anyway? Don't you ever laugh?
While inwardly complaining, Gawain smiled and pulled out a wooden spiked club.
Where did it come from?
Where are we going next?
Sir, your question gets to the heart of the matter and resonates with me quite a bit.
So, may I rephrase your question and ask it to you again?
Where is this place, and where did you come from?
As soon as he finished speaking, Gawain, holding his spiked club, grinned, revealing his pearly white teeth.
Across from him, Jigen was slightly taken aback as she looked at Gawain's smile.
He glanced at Gawain from head to toe, his gaze lingering particularly on Gawain's spiked club for a moment.
Looking at the spiked club, Jigen finally spoke with disdain.
"Although I don't know which race you belong to, you actually possess an ability similar to my Otsutsuki Clan —the ability to traverse the starry sea."
But you actually need to use rudimentary material elements as weapons!
At this point, Jigen chuckled and then gently raised his right fist.
"Although my condition is not perfect, facing someone like you who can rely on even wooden weapons..."
I feel it's necessary for me to tell you my name before you die.
I am... Jigen!
This is the name of the person who is about to kill you!
But then again, shouldn't I capture you and interrogate you to uncover the secrets behind your actions?
Or perhaps, I could use you to do something more meaningful?
"Uh-huh?"
Hearing Jigen's words, Gawain finally remembered his identity.
Or rather, Gawain had already remembered it when Jigen mentioned the Otsutsuki!
Although he didn't understand why he had mastered the language of the Otsutsuki Clan in the Naruto world, Gawain simply took it as a small favor from the Xianyang Palace.
He smiled and shook his head, then said to Jigen.
"Phew, I thought it was someone else."
Or perhaps I already know where I am?
As for your name, are you sure you really are Jigen?
Or perhaps, when you used that unfortunate monk's name to fob me off, you didn't realize I could see right through you?
Isshiki Ōtsutsuki!!!
The moment the words left his mouth, Jigen's expression changed drastically!
It's over!
How embarrassing!
The fact that Laozi was disrespected by Kaguya, a person of inferior status, spread throughout the entire universe in the blink of an eye!
Even some unknown outsiders know about it!
This whole mess is making me a laughingstock in the Ōtsutsuki Clan!
Only...
It's only been a few days since the incident; how did this news get out?
Did that lowly servant Kaguya think that just because she ate the Chakra Fruit, she could go and bargain with the main family?
And this guy in front of me, is he really from another race? Or is he what I'm thinking?
Kaguya returned to the main family and revealed her secrets, only to have the main family send some eccentric character to make fun of her?
Otherwise, how come the Ōtsutsuki Clan has explored the universe for millions of years without encountering any alien races like this?
As a result, she encountered all sorts of things, from insubordinate servants to alien beings wandering the stars.
In that instant, who knows what thoughts flashed through Jigen's mind?
In short, on the surface, he was actually stunned in front of Gawain!
Seeing Jigen standing there in a daze, Gawain raised an eyebrow slightly.
Is this such a good opportunity?
No, no, no, out of respect for the New World, should we be cautious?
But faced with such a glaring flaw, I simply can't be cautious!
Seeing that Jigen was still in a daze, Gawain casually picked up the spiked club and gave a light shout.
"Raimei Hakke!!!"
Boom!
Gawain's powerful leg strike caused dense cracks to appear in the ground within a radius of several hundred meters.
The airflow generated by his movement caused all the surrounding trees to collapse!
As for Jigen!
He only froze for a second, and when he turned around, he found that the enormous wooden spiked club he had been mocking was about to smash into him...?!
Etc!
Jigen was horrified to discover that in the instant he dodged, the spiked club continued to track his movements, heading straight for his head!
Hide, hide, hide, hide!
Jigen made over three hundred dodge maneuvers, but he discovered to his despair that no matter how he dodged, the enemy's spiked club was relentlessly pursuing him, determined to smash into his face!
At the same time, Gawain on the other side was slightly taken aback.
Are the strongest characters in the Naruto World really that bad at perception?!
Although Gawain hadn't watched the entire Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, he had at least seen a certain number of Boruto: Naruto Next Generations videos on platforms like Douyin.
I've heard that Jigen is an enemy that neither Sasuke nor Naluo can defeat alone.
So, even someone practically at the very top of the Naruto pyramid has such poor insight?!
In the world of One Piece, every move between two monster-level powerhouses involves their Observation Haki clashing thousands or even tens of thousands of times!
One Piece is a particularly chaotic world. As a strong person, if you have even the slightest weakness, you will definitely leave an opening!
Don't be fooled by how simple each clash between the powerful fighters seems; in reality, those simple attack movements are the optimal solutions they've derived after countless simulations.
Generally speaking, aside from the crazy Big Mom, even a stamina maniac like Kaido's every move takes into account not only the lethality but also the conservation of stamina and the ability to counterattack!
But...
Jigen???
Bang!!!
Just as Jigen was looking at him in disbelief, Gawain's spiked club struck him hard on the head!
In the next instant, Jigen was sent flying backward, crashing through thousands of trees before passing through a mountain range and finally being pinned to the center of yet another mountain range.
Before Jigen recover from her shock, Gawain followed her with steps that could shatter the earth, and went straight to the place where Jigen was embedded!
Just as Jigen was about to stop but hadn't yet, Gawain suddenly grabbed Jigen's neck and then made a sudden upward shot!
The next moment, blue dragon scales appeared on Gawain's arms, and he transformed into a dragon-man, letting out a loud shout amidst the rubble in the middle of the mountain range.
"Earth Uppercut!!!"
Rumble!!!
Whoosh!
Jigen pierced through the mountains and soared into the air in the blink of an eye, while Gawain continued to swing his spiked club in the mountains.
"The Kongo Kabura!!!"
Buzzing!!!
The enormous column of energy shot straight into the sky, firmly embedded in Jigen's back. It even caused him to spit out a mouthful of blood while remaining rooted to the spot, as if he needed a moment to react before being blasted away again!
Before Jigen could be sent flying by the force of the Kongo Kabura, Gawain had already taken to the air.
He soared into the sky, far higher than Jigen, raised his spiked club high, and roared.
"Three Realms, summoning Naraku!!!"
Boom!!!
Bang!!!
Kaspersky!!!
This time, Jigen finally realized what was happening. He crossed his arms and stared intently at Gawain's wooden spiked club, which had turned completely black!
"It was just ordinary wood, but... it hurt so much!!!"
He roared in utter fury; even when betrayed by that vile servant Kaguya, Jigen had never felt so humiliated!!!
Although his current body is just a collection of junk he implanted, it is still the body in which his consciousness resides.
My arm was broken by some unknown guy!!!
I actually got beaten up by trash!!!
I actually got beaten up by trash!!!
I got beaten up by trash!!!
Aaaaaaah!!!
While rapidly recovering from his injuries, Isshiki Ōtsutsuki frantically unleashed his Karma seal, allowing his power to continuously surge into Jigen's body!
Right in front of Gawain, Jigen's delicate face suddenly darkened.
That's not all; Jigen skipped the first form of the Karma form altogether and entered the barely passable second form.
Half a horn slowly grew out of his head, and then he suddenly raised his foot and kicked Gawain!
Gawain sensed a power capable of overturning a mountain!
It's confirmed. Jigen's second form, in terms of sheer physical strength, would probably rank in the top twenty among the strongest characters currently appearing in the Pirate World!
This is definitely the same kick Sasuke shattered the Susanoo Gundam!
Gawain grinned and easily dodged the attack.
As he dodged, he smiled and said to Jigen.
"You remind me of a little kid holding a great weapon, haha!"
Is it possible that the Otsutsuki Clan has virtually no enemies, so much so that even though you possess considerable power, you fight like children?!
Even a piglet could dodge a kick as straight as that!
Watch me!
Wow!!!
Gawain chuckled as he suddenly kicked out.
In Jigen's eyes, Gawain's kick was like a phantom; there were just too many possibilities, and he had no idea where it would land!
He wasn't sure, so Gawain made him sure!
Bang!
"Ugh... Ugh... Hah... Hah... Hiss hiss hiss!!!"
With the sound of kicking something solid, Jigen suddenly covered his groin!
Before Jigen could recover from that feeling, Gawain raised his spiked club and casually unleashed a Raimei Hakke!
Bang!!!
Wow!
I haven't heard such a crisp sound in ages!
As expected, it's the Karma of the Otsutsuki Clan; it's definitely a good start!!!
After a moment of laughter and praise, Gawain used the Geppo to fly down, intending to unleash another set of Mingwang combos on Jigen.
To everyone's surprise, the black rod that suddenly appeared in Jigen's hand made Gawain frown slightly.
So that's Yin–Yang Release? Excellent!
Looking at the black rod that could cut down anything in the Naruto World, Gawain unleashed his full Conqueror's Haki, intending to test the black rod's strength.
Then...
Laugh!
With a crisp crack, Gawain's spiked club snapped in two in the blink of an eye.
Armament Haki's defensive properties were completely useless against this product of Yin–Yang Release!
As expected, it is one of the derivative products of the supreme power in the Naruto World. The quality of Yin–Yang Release is far more reliable than that of useless characters like Jigen who appeared in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations!
It's no wonder that when netizens ranked Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece in their previous lives, they ranked Naruto's combat power slightly higher than One Piece's.
Although 99.99% of the people in the Naruto World can't compare to the people in the Pirate World in terms of physique.
But let's just talk about the Otsutsuki family.
The bloodline of this family is so powerful that it could easily destroy a star!
While sighing, Gawain casually drew his wooden sword.
"From today onwards, you will be called Lake Toya!!!"
With a laugh, Gawain drew his sword, bypassed Jigen's black staff, and slashed Jigen in the waist!
In the blink of an eye, Jigen was torn in two!
However, Gawain's knife was too sharp; as soon as Jigen's body was severed, the clean cut quickly healed itself.
At the same time, in Jigen's dazed eyes...
Behind him, three towering mountains were all sliced in two by this single stroke!
A moment later, Jigen's eyes widened!
As expected, this is an enemy worth dealing with with all our might, and I'm definitely the unluckiest one!
Whether it was a subservient servant or a troublesome enemy, he, this unlucky fellow, encountered them all!!!
The enemy came on strong, knew his identity, and was not yet at full strength!
Kaguya is a threat to me!
There's this inexplicable enemy right in front of us!
No, I can't waste my time here.
I must continue to hide!
Hmph, it's just one more person to hide from!!!
Thinking this, Jigen, with a headache, used his remaining strength to heal his injuries.
He quickly opened the Portal.
Honestly, this was the first time in his life he had ever tried to open a door so fast!
Before the door was even fully open, Jigen had already eagerly squeezed inside. It wasn't that he couldn't continue fighting; he was simply too afraid to!
It will be discovered!!!
On the other side, seeing that Jigen was trying to escape, Gawain immediately wanted to follow.
But Gawain stopped right in front of the Portal.
He had seen Portal kill all sorts of life in movies more than once, so he would never risk his life!
So...
Wow!!!
In an instant, his Observation Haki was unleashed, covering a radius of two hundred kilometers!
He was betting that Jigen wouldn't be teleported too far.
Although the distance of the teleportation wasn't a problem, he bet that Jigen wanted to find a place to observe him while he was escaping!
He bets that Jigen is that kind of cunning old fox!
And the result was...
Just as expected!!!
In just a moment, Gawain found Jigen's faint breath in a small village more than 130 kilometers away.
At such a great distance, Gawain could only barely find Jigen's traces and could not ascertain every move Jigen made.
However, simply discovering it is enough. I must pretend that I don't know Jigen's whereabouts so that I can make my own way in the next plan!
That's right, with Gawain's brilliant mind, he devised a series of plans for activities in the Naruto World in a very short time!
This plan combines information about the current era with that of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, and will make the most of every useful person!
And the core of this plan is the supreme treasure in the Naruto World that Gawain was able to identify!
Gawain didn't know the extent to which the Op-Op Fruit Mi could grant immortality; he could only speculate!
But the immortality of the Chakra Fruit is an almost certain ability!!!
The three conditions for the birth of the Chakra Fruit: the Ten-Tails, a planet, and the flesh and blood of a member of the Ōtsutsuki Clan!
The Ten-Tails was brought by the Otsutsuki, and the planet was the one they were on, especially since it was a planet before the main storyline had progressed and before the characters they admired existed!
As for the members of the Ōtsutsuki Clan...
Whether it's Isshiki Ōtsutsuki or Kaguya Otsutsuki, aren't they both members of the Ōtsutsuki Clan?!
Then the next goal is very clear!
Next, I need to find a way to meet Kaguya and see if I can reach an agreement with Kaguya.
In particular, they wanted to test which era Kaguya was from at this moment. Was she the Otsutsuki Kaguya, or the Kaguya who, after giving birth to two children, gradually became greedy and seduced by the Chakra Fruit?
After understanding the situation, he will make significant changes to his plans.
But in any case, their plan will be aimed directly at the core!
Immortality!
That's immortality, the lifelong pursuit of that emperor who ruled the Xianyang Palace!
However, after a brief moment of thought, Gawain had to admit one thing.
Both Naruto and One Piece are worlds where immortality is clearly a reality!
Although I don't know why I ended up in these two worlds one after the other.
But immortality will be the eternal pursuit of every living being!
