" Igaram!" Vivi looked at the Alabasta Kingdom's guard captain who had been blown to pieces, her voice filled with anxiety.
"It's no use." Miss Valentine, holding her umbrella, seemed weightless as she rose into the air and flew over.
Bai Sui, suspended in mid-air, sighed with emotion, "Whether it's this Float-Float Fruit before me or the Sube Sube Fruit from before, if those people at the Research Institute were to use them, they could probably create all sorts of amazing things. After all, one eliminates friction, and the other allows for free manipulation of weight. Wouldn't that directly advance the technology of the Ninja World by at least one generation?"
However, look at Miss Valentine below. She merely uses the Float-Float Fruit to become a flying warrior. What a waste of her talent! It's truly a waste of her abilities.
By now, Bai Sui had a general understanding of some of the unique aspects of this world. Although he hadn't yet grasped the underlying principles, it didn't stop Bai Sui from starting to work towards becoming stronger.
First of all, the people in this world, or rather all life forms, possess extremely strong vitality. This vitality is all-encompassing, not only in terms of being able to withstand blows, but also in terms of being able to quickly extract power from food and even nature.
Yes, this world is somewhat different from the Ninja World. It's not that there's no power in nature in the Ninja World, since Natural Energy is everywhere. It's just that the activity levels of the two are different. Although we don't know yet if there are any human factors involved, at least the current manifestation is that the Natural Energy in the One Piece world is more active.
How active is it? Even if you don't engage in any training or cultivation, and simply live a life of plenty in this world, your physical fitness will improve. Of course, this only applies to ordinary people.
If one is already strong enough, relying solely on active Natural Energy is insufficient. However, by consuming powerful creatures in this world, such as Sea King, one can enhance their body to a certain extent.
However, there are still some differences between the people of the Ninja World and the people of the One Piece world. At least, the absorption ability of the people of the Ninja World is not as good as that of the One Piece the One Piece world has evolved over the years, giving the life of the people there the ability to quickly extract the Natural Energy contained in food. Most people of the Jonin world cannot do this.
The reason I say "most" is because it also depends on talent. For example, Hinata has this talent, which is why she can have such a huge appetite. As for others, they can also have it after their strength reaches a certain level.
Although those powerful individuals can manipulate this absorption through their own will, which seems more convenient than for people in the One Piece world, the Ninja World is actually very envious of this ability of the various beings in this world, and even Bai Sui is quite interested in it.
Fortunately, this ability is not unique to humans in the One Piece world, which allows the Ninja World to freely experiment on other life forms in this world without triggering conflict between them.
The more research and comparisons were conducted, the more some people in the Ninja World world looked down on and even despised the Ōtsutsuki Clan. After all, in their view, the truly precious thing in this universe was life itself. They knew that the value of any blade of grass on another planet was greater than that of a meteorite made of pure gold.
Although several high-ranking members, including Bai Sui, have been suppressing such remarks, they know that if the Ōtsutsuki Clan were truly foolish, they would never have achieved what they have today. Since they are not foolish, their lack of regard for these life resources is clearly due to other gains that they consider far greater.
Similarly, Bai Sui also discovered some secrets about the Devil Fruit. First of all, Bai Sui noticed something different about these Devil Fruit User. They Rhythm a very unique Rhythm, which was very similar to that of Karma, but also had obvious differences.
Bai Sui had some guesses about this, but he couldn't be 100% sure yet. He would only be able to truly understand the underlying principles after exploring the moon.
Bai Sui wasn't a bored person, so she had no interest in watching two women fight, especially since they were fighting so poorly. Right now, Bai Sui was just waiting for a reply from the Ninja World.
Sure enough, a reply arrived. The Ninja World largely agreed with Bai Sui's deduction, unanimously believing that there must be some secrets on the moon. In addition, with various intelligence reports being sent back by the advance team, everyone became increasingly curious about this world. As a result, apart from the Otsutsuki -level powerhouses who were required to stay behind to Guardian Ninja world, all the other high-ranking members were mobilized.
Not only that, but they also ran into Monkey D. Dragon, who brought his Revolutionary Army to visit the outpost. When Dragon saw the sudden appearance of a large number of powerful figures, he thought that the so-called Ninja World was going to wipe them out. After all, this time, in addition to himself, he also brought Sabo, Belo Betty, Ahiru and other cadres of the Revolutionary Army. Although not all of them, if they all died here, the entire Revolutionary Army would inevitably be thrown into chaos.
Perhaps sensing Ryu's concerns, Nawaki Senju briefly introduced the identities of these people and roughly explained their purpose. When Ryu learned that these powerful individuals were Otsutsuki -level experts who had come to this planet to deal with the real Otsutsuki members, he began to consider going there.
Although Dragon is calm and ambitious, deep down he still has the family trait of being interested in adventure. It's hard to say whether he or Luffy is more curious, but Dragon usually hides it with his mask.
Now, this is perhaps the most important event in the world. Knowing this, he felt extremely uncomfortable not being able to participate. So he made his request to Nawaki Senju, hoping that he could be taken along.
Nawaki Senju naturally wouldn't allow such a request. After all, the higher-ups of the Ninja World weren't going on a vacation; they were going to deal with potential Otsutsuki clan members, and might even have to venture deep into enemy territory. What would happen to the dragon then?
Regardless of whether the dragon would become a burden to those in power, if it were to perish during the exploration, how could they possibly continue their cooperation with the Revolutionary Army?
Even if the other party says they don't mind, the Ninja World is still worried. After all, their leader went out with them and was later said to have died accidentally on the battlefield, but there's no evidence. If they can accept that, the Ninja World will suspect that they're secretly plotting something bad.
So, to avoid any potential trouble, Nawaki Senju flatly refused. But Ryu wouldn't give up. In the time it took for Bai Sui to receive the message and arrive, Ryu had already pestered Nawaki Senju about it eight or nine times, both openly and subtly.
Therefore, as soon as Bai Sui arrived at the island where the outpost was located, her divine sense detected the dragon's actions. After a moment's thought, Bai Sui flashed to the two of them and said, "Alright, Little Nawaki, if he really wants to go, it's not impossible. I'll take him with me."
Nawaki Senju was taken aback at first, but then realized it was Bai Sui and immediately bowed to show his agreement. Seeing Nawaki Senju's Yinglong naturally understood that Bai Sui must be of extremely high status and position. After all, through his previous exchanges and interactions with the people at the outpost, Ryu had roughly figured out Nawaki Senju's identity and position.
He is not only a direct descendant of one of the top combat forces in the Ninja World, but also a powerful individual, a strong contender to advance into the Otsutsuki realm. Dragon could see that even when introducing those Otsutsuki -level powerhouses before, although Nawaki Senju showed great respect to each of them, there was a difference in the nature of that respect.
Aside from the two powerful individuals whose names were directly derived from the Otsutsuki, only Madara Uchiha could earn his extreme admiration—not just respect, but a deep reverence. Although he hadn't been able to find out exactly what Madara Uchiha had done due to time constraints, he knew there must have been a reason.
Now, Ryu discovers that Nawaki Senju's admiration for Bai Sui is no less than that for Madara Uchiha, and may even be higher. With this comparison, Bai Sui's status and position are naturally obvious.
Through Nawaki Senju's introduction, Bai Sui and Ryu had a formal meeting. Although Bai Sui agreed to take Ryu with him, Nawaki Senju was still somewhat worried and instructed Ryu: "I know Mr. Ryu has no concept of the Otsutsuki level, which is why he wants to go. But I have witnessed it, so I know how powerful such a battle is. Even the aftershocks are something that those below that level cannot withstand. That's why I have been trying to stop him. Although Bai Sui agreed to take you along, so in theory there shouldn't be any accidents, I still want to say that I hope Mr. Ryu will follow the arrangements and not act on his own. If there is any offense, then I apologize in advance."
"No, no, no, I fully understand Mr. Nawaki's concerns about my safety. I should be the one apologizing to you. After all, my request would put you under tremendous pressure. And all of this stems from my personal curiosity, so please don't apologize to me. Instead, I should be the one thanking you," Ryu quickly said.
"Alright, alright," Bai Sui interrupted when he saw that the two had finished their polite exchanges. Although Bai Sui acted rather casually these days, he always adhered to the principle of not causing trouble for others. So, Bai Sui naturally wouldn't interfere with the two's attempts to improve their friendship. "Come with me. We'll meet up with the others first, and then we'll go to the moon together."
The reason Bai Sui agreed to bring Long along wasn't because Bai Sui was getting cocky and thought he could take a burden into battle, but because Bai Sui had already planned to simply toss Long into his enclosure and leave him a window to see outside.
In this way, it won't affect everyone's battle, but it can also show off to the future leaders of the world to some extent, letting them see what Otsutsuki is and what Otsutsuki level is.
This will not only give the world a clear understanding, preventing them from making foolish moves due to their lack of clarity, but also let them know what kind of existence they will be fighting against in the future.
After all, the reason why the entire One Piece world was able to fight against Urashiki Otsutsuki back then was entirely because he was somewhat restrained. After all, what Urashiki Otsutsuki wanted was not to directly destroy the planet, but to absorb all life on this planet into power.
This limits many of Urashiki Otsutsuki's large-scale destructive abilities; at least he cannot directly destroy this planet. This is something Bai Sui obtained by reading his memories. After all, even if the mission didn't go smoothly, Urashiki Otsutsuki could come and go as he pleased, without being hindered by the people on this planet.
Following Bai Sui, Long also arrived at the room where the Ninja World's high-ranking officials were located. Upon seeing Bai Sui's arrival, everyone took the initiative to greet her or bow, which further solidified Long's judgment and made him even more convinced that Bai Sui's identity was extraordinary.
The current situation is simply unsuitable; otherwise, he would have made sure to understand the reasons behind it all. After all, that's just the kind of person he is. Although all the intelligence and information he gathers has perfectly legitimate reasons—after all, he is the leader of the Revolutionary Army Revolutionary Army, and naturally he needs to know enough to lead them forward—how much of it is simply to satisfy his own curiosity is something only he truly knows.
Everyone was seated, except for Senju Hashirama, but it didn't matter, since Bai Sui had already informed everyone of his whereabouts. "In that case, let him go find the elephant to play with by himself. We won't take him this time." The one who could say this was naturally Madara Uchiha.
Bai Sui nodded. "I've already explained it in the intelligence before, but I still want to emphasize it again now. After all, the person we are dealing with now is very likely a powerful Otsutsuki who has been rooted in this world for thousands of years. According to the intelligence, although he is not strong in combat, he was the top biological researcher in the Ōtsutsuki Clan."
Over the past thousand years, we have no way of knowing what he has done with the God Tree in his hands. Therefore, I hope everyone will take this operation seriously and not underestimate them just because we were able to defeat the three Otsutsuki members so easily back then.
Don't forget, they were the ones attacking and we were the ones defending back then; now, the roles are completely reversed."
