After thinking for a moment, Dragon immediately understood Nawaki Senju's underlying meaning and agreed that the other party was right. After all, he knew his own son well, and Luffy would definitely go to rescue Ace. In that case, it would be more reasonable for Naruto and the others to go.
The only thing he couldn't understand was why the Ninja World would let Naruto and his group go, since it was not a safe operation, but an extremely dangerous one.
This is also because Dragon doesn't understand the entire system of chakra, so he doesn't know what kind of strength Hinata, who has awakened the Tenseigan, and Sasuke, who is on the verge of awakening the Mangekyo, will possess.
Of the three, if we're talking about the weakest, Naruto is relatively the weakest. After all, in this life, he didn't sacrifice his parents to become the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, so without an external power source, he seems a bit weaker.
However, this is only the surface. Don't forget that when Bai Sui helped Naruto build his foundation, she used half of Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's life energy. Although Ōtsutsuki Isshiki was already weakened at that time, as a member of the Otsutsuki clan who had eaten a Devil Fruit, his life ability was not as simple as Naruto is showing now.
These life energies are actually sealed within Naruto's body, and over the years they have been constantly being released outwards, gradually strengthening Naruto's body.
That's why Naruto's physical abilities have improved so rapidly. Under normal circumstances, even fellow ki cultivators wouldn't have such a fast training speed. You have to understand that Naruto's current performance is in no way weaker than other chakra-based ninjas of the same age.
As mentioned before, although the Ninja World has developed many new training systems and paths, it has not found one that can truly surpass or even be equivalent to the chakra system. Therefore, although the Ninja World intends to control the use of chakra, it can only promote it on a small scale because there is no better alternative.
It can be said that a large part of Naruto's achievements are due to the scarce resources that Bai Sui provided for his growth. Naruto's subsequent training can be seen as simply making the most of these resources.
Now that Bai Sui has learned about what's happening in the One Piece world, she immediately realizes that what follows is likely to be a Paramount War with a completely different trajectory from the original storyline.
Therefore, Bai Sui released the seal that had been placed inside Naruto, allowing the sealed life force to erupt in a short period of time. Of course, this short period of time does not mean immediately, but rather that within a short month, all the life force that originally belonged to Ōtsutsuki Isshiki will be released.
This is equivalent to giving Naruto a powerful tonic. As for how much he will absorb, that depends on how hard Naruto trains in the coming period.
Ultimately, external forces are just external forces; everything depends on Naruto's own choices and whether he seizes this opportunity to avoid being left behind by his comrades.
Time indeed flies. After being blasted to Amazon Lily by Bartholomew Kuma's Paw-Paw Fruit, Luffy went through a series of adventures and hardships. Finally Luffy learned about Haki and won the heart of Boa Hancock, one of the Shichibukai.
It's fair to say that this Devil Fruit User, failed to win Luffy's heart with her charm and instead found herself blindly in love with him.
Later, Luffy learned from the Amazon Lily that Ace was about to be executed, and that at the current point in time, Ace was being imprisoned in Impel Down Impel Down.
Just as everyone expected, after obtaining the information, Luffy immediately declared that he wanted to go to Impel Down, and even wanted to go alone to rescue Ace.
It was also thanks to Hancock that Luffy, unlike others who were merely infatuated with her beauty, decided to help Luffy.
Then, the Empress pretended to accept the World Government's summons to Marineford to help the Navy fight against Whitebeard and his pirate crew. In reality, the Empress was secretly using this to help Luffy go to Impel Down so that Luffy could get rid of his Ace.
Meanwhile, Fleet Admiral Sengoku, in order to deal with the Whitebeard Pirates, contacted the World Government and asked them to summon all the Seven Warlords of the Sea. In the end, only one man disobeyed the order and even risked being stripped of his Seven Warlords of the Sea status and imprisoned. This man was Jinbe.
Meanwhile, Garp also went to Impel Down Ace, who was imprisoned there. This was the first time the grandfather and grandson had met in so many years. They were on different sides, and in the end, Ace, with tears streaming down his face, did not say anything that would make Garp feel awkward.
However, it was precisely because of this that Garp felt even more pain in his heart. What he hoped for most now was for Ace to ask him to release him, so that he could abandon his previous principles for the sake of family and defect from the Navy. After all, he knew very well what kind of people the World Government was, otherwise he wouldn't still be Vice Admiral.
The preparations for this upcoming battle at Marineford are not limited to the Navy. Whitebeard and his forces are also fully committed to the preparations, but their target is Marineford, where the final execution will take place.
Luffy's attempt to sabotage his brother Luffy in Impel Down unfortunately failed. Despite overcoming numerous difficulties, Luffy was ultimately unable to rescue Ace, as Ace had already been taken away by the Marines and sent to Marineford.
Luffy's Luffy wasn't entirely fruitless; at the very least, he found many pirates willing to accompany him to Marineford. Among them were Buggy the Clown, a former crew member of the Gol D. Roger, and Crocodile, who had regained his confidence in Impel Down. They sailed together in their warship toward Marineford, all to rescue Ace.
At this moment, Ace's execution is about to begin, and the World Government has decided to broadcast it live worldwide. This move has caused a global sensation, as the last person to receive such treatment was the Gol D. Roger.
This has also made onlookers around the world even more interested in the upcoming plot developments. After all, the Navy has mobilized more than 100,000 naval officers and soldiers and 50 warships for this upcoming war, many of which were transferred from various parts of the Grand Line. Such a large-scale operation naturally could not be kept secret from the public.
Furthermore, the Navy publicly declared that they had a total of five Seven Warlords of the Sea, three Admiral, Fleet Admiral Sengoku, and Navy Garp the Hero in command. They were determined to use this powerful force to demonstrate to the world that the World Government's authority was inviolable, and that even if the opponent was Whitebeard, the so-called World's Strongest Man, he would not be able to take the prisoner away from them this time.
Amid cheers from the Marines, Ace was escorted to the Execution Platform. The Fleet Admiral personally announced to the world that Ace was the son of the One Piece, and stated that when the time came, the evil bloodline of the One Piece would be completely eradicated. This was considered the best way Sengoku could think of to combat pirates.
At that moment, forty-three pirate ships suddenly appeared in everyone's sight, and Whitebeard, in an exaggerated manner, came directly from the seabed to the surface, giving the marines present a mental shock.
This shock wasn't limited to the world of One Piece; many in the Ninja World who could see satellite images were also amazed and expressed their determination to master this ship coating technology.
At this point, all forty-seven pirate ships belonging to Whitebeard's side had arrived, which meant that the great battle was about to begin.
"Hurrahrahrah, it's been decades since we last met, Sengoku." Whitebeard, wielding the " Murakumogiri," one of the 12 Supreme Grade Swords, stood on the deck, facing the entire navy.
" Whitebeard." Even Sengoku, who had made all sorts of preparations, felt the pressure when facing Whitebeard again. After all, he was about to face the World's Strongest Man, who could be said to have single-handedly created an era.
"My beloved son, are you alright? Hooray!" It could be said that his mere appearance shook the confidence of many of the navy personnel present.
Even Sengoku's expression was unsettled. "I never expected him to be able to penetrate to such close range."
After all, Sengoku originally planned to rely on the advantage of Marineford's fortress to inflict some damage from a distance, and by the time the enemy actually got close to the land, they would have suffered considerable losses. However, he did not expect that Whitebeard would break through his first line of defense directly.
"Wait a moment, Ace." Whitebeard ignored all the Marines present; his gaze was fixed solely on Ace, who was kneeling on the Execution Platform, his eyes filled with tenderness.
"Haaah!!" Whitebeard planted his sword on the deck, crossed his arms, and exerted all his strength to activate his Tremor-Tremor Fruit.
With his powerful manipulation of nature, he directly raised the level of the surrounding sea, not only the area around Whitebeard's ship, but also an entire region of the sea. It seemed as if Whitebeard was preparing to use the seawater to submerge Marineford.
The tremor came and went quickly. As Whitebeard lowered his hands, the sea gradually returned to calm, as if everything that had just happened was merely a gesture by Whitebeard to greet someone.
And this was indeed to greet them, to inform Ace of Whitebeard's resolve, and the resolve of everyone in the Whitebeard Pirates.
The tremor did indeed jolt Ace awake, bringing his thoughts back to Whitebeard and all his brothers. "Dad, everyone... I ignored your warnings and ran away, why didn't you abandon me?! It was my own humanity that led to this!"
"No, it was I who told you to go, son." Whitebeard denied everything and took all of Ace's faults upon himself.
"Stop lying! What nonsense are you spouting!" Ace, his hands bound behind his back, was now hysterical. "You clearly stopped me back then, and I..."
"I told you to go!" Although the two were hundreds of meters apart, it was as if they were right in front of each other. The Whitebeard was so calm. "I told you to go, didn't I, Marco?"
"Ah, I heard that too. You've suffered enough, Ace." Marco chose to lie with Whitebeard. "On this sea, everyone should know what the consequences are for attacking our comrades... We will never let anyone who hurt you get away with it!"
"Just you wait, I'm coming to rescue you right now!" "Oh!" *N
"Be prepared, Marine Headquarters." Whitebeard concluded by sealing this statement.
"I've really attracted a bunch of formidable fellows." Sitting in his special seat, Kizaru began his daily Yin-Yang technique once again.
The Akainu beside him, however, didn't seem to care. "Why are we still talking about this now?"
Kizaru tilted his head, resting it on his right hand. "But it really is uncomfortable."
"This side has the strongest fighting force of our Seven Warlords of the Sea and the Marine Headquarters, three Marine Admiral and 100,000 elites. The other side is the Whitebeard Pirates and more than 40 pirate ships under their command. How are you going to attack us, Whitebeard!" Gecko Moria, one of the Shichibukai, had long admired Whitebeard, after all, he was one of the Four Emperors.
Donquixote Doflamingo, one of the Shichibukai, felt that this war had truly struck a chord with him. Both Whitebeard and the Marines were, in his eyes, his enemies, and now these two were about to engage in a life-or-death struggle before him. Could there be anything more wonderful than this?
"This is really exciting," Donquixote Doflamingo said, glancing at Hawk-Eye beside him, ready to fan the flames and make the situation as chaotic as possible. "Are you planning to sit on the sidelines again? You're just here to kill time anyway, so whatever, hahahaha."
"No, this is bad! The water level has been rising since just now! And it shows no sign of settling down." A navy officer immediately reported what he had observed.
At the same time, everyone noticed something unusual: a massive tsunami was crashing towards them from a distance, within sight.
"It's coming! The Seaquake that guy caused has turned into a tsunami and it's about to hit us! The earthquake man with the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, Whitebeard Edward Newgate!" It was Garp, the experienced naval hero, who was the first to realize what had happened.
