I'll Capture the Nine-Tails Myself

"Next, we begin the plan to capture the Tailed Beasts."

Rono's gaze swept over the Akatsuki members before him as he spoke in a low voice.

According to the system, time passed at roughly the same rate in the Naruto World and the Pirate World.

A year in the Naruto World meant a year would pass in the Pirate World too.

"As for the Nine-Tails, I'll capture him myself!"

Rono quickly issued his first order as the Akatsuki's leader.

He assigned each member their Tailed Beast targets.

Their
