Vallen's Discovery! The Whitebeard Pirates Arrive in the West Blue
For a full day and night, the light of the barrier Origin Island never went out.
Uchiha Izumi's residence has been completely transformed into a temporary intensive care unit. A portable Chakra spectrum analyzer monitors the unconscious figure on the experimental table 24 hours a day, and every waveform change affects the nerves of everyone in the room.
Vallen tried every conventional solution he could think of.
After the No. 1 nutrient was administered, the vital signs stabilized, but the dark red energy at the edge of the wound remained completely still.
As soon as the intravenous injection of the No. 2 regenerative catalyst touched the outer edge of the wound, the entire vial of medicine bubbled and churned inside the syringe as if it were boiling, making it impossible to inject.
Chakra Resonance Neutralization Method – He had Feihong and Feiyan simultaneously input Yang Release from two directions in an attempt to resonate and neutralize the dark red energy. As a result, the two people's Chakra was instantly obliterated as soon as it came into contact with the dark red energy membrane, without even a ripple.
After three consecutive failed attempts, Vallen took off his glasses, rubbed his dry eyes vigorously, and remained silent for a long time.
Then he put his glasses back on and went through the spectrum monitoring data from the past day from beginning to end, and then again.
The two waveforms on the screen—one dark red, sharp and violent;
A streak of crimson gold, steady and resilient—like two snakes biting each other's vital points, repeatedly tug-of-war around the wound, yet neither can completely overpower the other.
However, Vallen noticed that every thrust of the Crimson Wave was precisely intercepted in front of the Crimson Gold defense line, while the counterattacks of the Crimson Gold Wave always hit the weakest gap in the Crimson Energy.
This is not a coincidence; it is the autonomous operation of some highly precise active defense mechanism.
"This crimson-gold energy isn't just simple Chakra," Vallen finally spoke, tapping the steadily beating golden waveform on the screen with his fingertip.
"I have analyzed Yang Release Chakra many times. The Mystical Palm Technique used by Feihong and Feiyan is essentially Yang Release —but Yang Release does not have the characteristic of autonomous defense, nor can it actively predict attacks and counterattack in advance."
This energy will...
It kept using its own rhythm to wear down the opponent's erosion, and it fought for a whole day and night without any decrease in frequency.
This is not passive defense, this is active defense.
Vallen took off his glasses, pressed his knuckles to his forehead, and hesitated for a long time before speaking, "This is just his body's instinctive reaction."
However, active motivation and passive defense at the level of consciousness are two completely different concepts.
"If we can wake Lord Natsu Yin up and have him actively mobilize this energy, then it's possible to suppress or even eliminate that dark red energy."
The room remained quiet for a long time.
Feihong and Feiyan exchanged a glance. They both understood what this meant, but they also noticed the crucial premise in Vallen's words—if Natsu could be woken up.
The problem now is that Natsu's consciousness seems to be trapped by something, and she doesn't respond no matter how much she's stimulated.
For two days and two nights, Vallen barely slept a wink.
On the monitor screen next to the experimental table, the dark red and bright gold waveforms continued to tear each other apart tirelessly, neither side gaining the upper hand nor willing to back down even an inch.
He tried every conventional treatment he could think of: nutritional supplements, regeneration catalysts, Chakra neutralization, and even attempted to use a micro -Sealing Jutsu to cut off the diffusion path of the dark red energy—all to no avail.
The dark red energy seemed to have a life of its own; each time it was disturbed by an external force, it would briefly contract before retaliating with even greater ferocity.
The turning point came late on the second night.
While organizing the spectrum analysis data, Vallen Vice Admiral placed a blood sample from a previously collected ordinary Uchiha clan member next to the monitoring device.
At the time, he only wanted to compare the Chakra waveform of a normal Uchiha clansman with the red-gold energy in Natsu's body, but the waveform on the monitor suddenly jumped the moment he brought the blood sample close to the experimental table.
The frequency of that crimson-gold fluctuation showed a very brief but very clear peak when the blood sample entered a certain range.
It wasn't the stimulation of dark red energy, nor the interference of external Chakra; it was simply that the blood sample—or rather, something in the blood sample belonging to the Uchiha bloodline—that resonated faintly with the crimson gold energy within Natsu's body.
Vallen thought he was seeing things.
He removed the blood sample, and the peak value disappeared;
As you get closer, another peak appears.
The experiment was repeated three times, and the results were consistent.
He then compared blood samples from several other clansmen and found that the higher the concentration of Chakra in the blood and the stronger the purity of the bloodline, the more obvious the resonance was triggered.
After repeatedly verifying seven different blood sample data, Vallen finally dared to believe his conclusion: a special component in the blood of the Uchiha Clan that coexists with Chakra can stimulate the activity of the crimson-gold energy in Natsu's body.
That crimson-gold energy was not ordinary Yang Release Chakra, but the Origin power of Susanoo —as the Guardian Spirit of the sleeping soul within the Uchiha bloodline, it had an almost instinctive connection to its fellow clansmen.
"Elder Setsuna." Vallen turned around, his eyes bloodshot from staying up all night, but his voice was unusually firm. "I need your order to have all the clan's registered Shadow Guard and Guard Corps assemble here."
The defensive force within Natsu's body reacts to the blood of his own clan. I need a large number of blood samples from Uchiha clan members to screen and find the bloodline match that can maximize the activation of the Susanoo's instinctive reaction within him.
This might be the only way to wake him up.
Without a Setsuna's hesitation.
He strode to the door and said in a deep voice to the Shadow Guard standing outside the courtyard, "Pass down the order: all Shadow Guard and Guard Corps on Origin Island, assemble immediately at the Naka Shrine. All medical-nin on the island are to be mobilized to collect blood samples in batches—now, immediately."
Guided by Uchiha Fugaku, the Whitebeard Pirates ' fleet slowly sailed along the route outside Origin Island into the waterway between the three protective islands.
The massive Moby Dick left a white trail on the sea, followed by dozens of pirate ships of varying sizes, with Whitebeard's skull and crossbones flag on the masts standing out prominently in the afterglow of the setting sun.
They were first discovered by the Guard Corps patrolling the outskirts of Spirit Awakening Island.
A fast ship bearing the Uchiha Gunbai flag cut in from the side. Three Guard Corps dressed in black stood at the bow. The leader was a young man in his early twenties with a Tachi at his waist. His scarlet Sharingan shone eerily in the Dusk.
The Clippers crossed the Moby Dick a few hundred meters away and signaled for the ship to stop for inspection.
His movements were clean and swift, without the slightest hesitation—even when facing the flagship of the Whitebeard Pirates, even when the crew on board were all notorious pirates who dominated the New World.
