Chapter 261: Chapter 261 : Magic Tricks 2
"And please do that why you are here exactly ?" Robin finally opened her mouth.
"Long story, if you are interested then keep up," Kirito said as he send a smirk towards Robin as he turn around and move toward where both Law and Smoker were fighting.
Seeing no other way, the Straw hats just follow Kirito. After all, they too have to go in that direction.
By the time all of them reach the factory, Kirito fully explain to them why he was here. Of couse it was an highly modified explanation, things like time travel bullshit wasn't there. Kirito only stick to the base story of how he was looking for a girl with red hair.
And though they didn't seem much convinced by just him saying this but for the time being they just roll with that explanation.
"HEY, Traffy." Luffy immediately perk up upon seeing Trafalgar Law. Kirito noticed that the Marines were nowhere to be seen. Though did see all the mess Law left behind.
Marine's ship was turned into and piece of modern art, it was all jumbled up and much of its was unrecognizable.
Kirito upon seeing this just pursed his lips, thinking he power itself is not very destructive in nature but he have to agree on the fact that the powers of One Piece world is strange, specially Devil Fruits.
Law didn't focus much on Luffy, rather his attention was on Kirito. He could sense it, Kirito was the person who left his range of devil fruit power with a space-time power. Needless to say Law was quite cautious of him.
Kirito too was the same. He knows how troublesome people with space-time powers could be, no one knows more than him. He can mostly fight with anyone here, and chances are that its gonna be a straightforward fight, something he can use in his favour as he has hacks like KCM or Hiraishin, etc.
But when fighting with people like Law, even he is cautious.
Kirito didn't care about after that, Luffy did what he did best, annoy others, this time his target was Law. Even better.
Kirito just look around, only to find what he was looking for, there was lying in the snow the body of Smoker.
Kirito at this was a little conflicted, Oda is not like Akutami who kills off characters left and right.
(Creator of Jujutsu Kaisen if you are too lazy to Google)
Smoker as much as he could remember wasagood guy, so him being dead by the hands of Law didn't just felt right with Kirito.
Only when Kirito spread his sense that he realized that he wasn't dead. Kirito thought that he came here fast enough but guess he was late.
Before he was planning on using the Marines network to find Asuna in return for helping them against Law but there was no marker from where he left. He usually left behind a marker or a Hiraishin kunai but this this he forgot upon seeing Law's spacial ability and the fact that he had to get out of there quickly.
He could even come here faster to help Smoker if he didn't entangle with Straw Hats but now there was no way.
'I could say that Smoker will most likely will lose, the guy is losing left and right since the beginning of the series but this fast'.
"Wait, what did you do." suddenly came the shout of a woman.
Kirito knew this girl, it was Tashigi. She quickly ran towards the fallen Smoker, though he was not dead but even Kirito found it peculiar that there was a hole in Smoker's body where his heart was supposed to be. He saw this when Tashigi turned around him.
Enraged, she ran towards Law. Kirito knew how this gonna go. Though he is sure that Law shouldn't kill her. If he wanted to kill then he wouldn't spare Smoker either.
And that was the case.
"Hey Traffy, before we go. I have something to ask you." Luffy seeing that Law wasn't planning on killing the Marines, didn't make any unnecessary moves. After thanking Law for helping him after the Summit War, he directly went to the things he wanted to ask.
"Get around the factory, behind it you will find what you are looking for." Law though already seems to know what Luffy was about to say.
"Well have a better idea." Kirito just roll his eyes at this. He only came here with the Straw hats because both of their destinations were the same and he didn't have any markers ready. But he now has markers ready for where the rest of the Straw Hats are. He could sense them around at the back of the factory.
So, not wanting to waste more time than he already had, Kirito just made shadow clones and those clones grabbed onto the straw hats. Not in a threatening way but the sudden action did make them tense, everyone except Luffy of course.
And the next second all the of them vanish.
Law who was seeing this was taken aback.
"Sure enough, that guy have the same powers as Ope Ope No Mi." Law's suspicion about Kirito's power was right.
.
.
.
"Why didn't you do this sooner." Nami who was right now was in Franky's body shouted. Let's call herFrami.
The reason she was angry was because Kinemon was holding back on his powers. He long could have use his powers or devil fruit to be exact to conjure warm clothes for others, all the members of Straw Hats and even the kids were almost at the freezing point by now and that guy didn't open his mouth about his powers until now.
Why some may asked?
Because he didn't want Nami's body which was almost half naked, precisely her bazooka's to be covered. Of course, Sanji, who was by the blessing of some unknown entity, swapped bodies with Nami couldn't agree more even though he too was freezing and enjoying those erected nipples because of all this cold. Let's call himNanji.
But unfortunately nothing last for long, especially good times. Kinemon after seeing the Kids in bad condition finally gives in and conjures clothes for everyone.
This led to the earlier shouting of Nami, now Frami.
Other people who swap bodies were Copper in Sanji's body and Franky in Chopper's body.
That was when suddenly like a flash, multiple people arrived in front of them. They were none other than rest of the Straw hats pirate minus Brook, who was still someone, and plus Kirito and many of his clones who pop away the moment they teleported others.
"Woh, I don't feel so good." Ussop said covering his mouth. (Yes I use that line)
"WHAT THE HELL...
Rest of the Staw hats jump in fridge at this. One second there was nothing in front of them and the next all of them were standing in front. Like they appear out of thin air.
Chapter 262: Chapter 262 : Magic Tricks 3
The Straw Hats were confused, excited and astonished at the same time. Kirito can't blame them, Hiraishin is awesome.
Even without any other Justu, if a person has this technique, he or she could wreak havoc to the enemy.
"How did you do that," Ussop asked astonishment.
"Do it again, do it again." Luffy laugh as he grab Kirito from the shoulder and shouted, almost pleading.
On the contrary, both Zoro and Robin kept on looking at Kirito, suddenly much more cautious of him. And for good reason, a man who can appear anywhere out of nowhere is dangerous.
From sneak attack to outright teleporting someone with devil fruit power at the depth of sea, what is not possible for him.
"Okay don't look at me like that. I know you all have many questions. For the time being, I will only say that its one of my Ninjutsu techniques. Allow me to teleport. Further explanation has to wait until I have a little more believe in you." Kirito said nonchalantly.
This make everyone shut up. Though Luffy was still just as happy and giggly as usual.
"So Ninja can do this kind of thing as well," Nami asked while puffing on his cigarette.
'One minute, since when Nami start to smoke ?' Kirito pondered but didn't care that much in the end to ask.
"Well as I said earlier, not all Ninja can do that. A person has to be born with Chakra. Only after someone can manipulate chakra to a certain degree that a shinobi or kunoichi for that matter can use many of the Ninjutsu I use.
Of course, the teleportation technique is a little especiality of mine so others can use it. However, the principal on how I can teleport remains the same, Chakra.
"Fascinating," Robin from behind said. "May I ask what else you can do or what this chakra is." Robin asked showing further curiosity. Anything new intrigued this girl. Well woman wouldn't be the right word considering that she is 30 right now.
"Sure, but as I said, neither right now I have time nor the needed trust on you guys. I am looking for someone, a girl with red hair. She is a kunoichi. We were separated when left our homeland.
I believe that she came here or around somewhere here in the new world around 2 years ago. Rings any bell." Kirito diverted the talk to his favour and asked what he wanted to know the most right now.
"A red hair Kunoichi..." Nami suddenly whispered as her eyes became like hearts.
"Nope...no idea," Luffy replies picking on his nose.
" No one I am aware of." Kinemon said.
And followed by many people saying the same thing again and again that they don't know.
Sigh.
"Okay, I appreciate the help anyway. So can any of you tell me where I can get information about her. I was earlier planning on getting the help of Marine but that Law beat them up real good." Kirito asked with a frown.
"Hmm sorry but no idea. Information is not our strong suit." Franky reply with helpless expression. Though just like Nami he too wasn't acting like himself.
It was only later that Kirito realized that all four of them have swap bodies.
"I see !" Kirito nodded, dejected.
"If you are searching someone then you should asked someone with good information network around." Kinemon suddenly replied.
"Oh, do you know someone like that." Kirito knew that what are the usual way to gather information, its just that the gathering of information start on the grassroots level, asking normal people.
The problem is, there ain't no people here. This island is barren as its gets.
" NO, I am unaware of this world just as you are." Kinemon just shook his head.
"You need to find an information broker. That were you can get some info." Suddenly Franky said, remember that there is no Franky but Nami in Franky's body, Frami as we name her/him? whatever.
"Well surely there are better islands for that sort of things right. Any place in mind." Kirito asked with a questioning tone.
"What you are looking for is in Dressrossa." Suddenly a voice came, this person was Trafalgar Law. He came after Kirito after he teleported with other straw hats.
He just suddenly realised that there is a powerful player present in front of him. Currently, he was looking for people, who can help him to go against the likes of Doflamingo or four emperors.
"Hey Traffy." Luffy cheered up seeing his buddy. Well, only he thinks like that.
"Dressrosa," Kirito only focus on the important bits.
"Where is this place ?" Kirito asked with finally a goal setting in. After all, he really had zero Knowledge about the New World. If only it was the Paradise then he could do something about it.
"Its the next Island on my route." Frami said, the map fully memories in her brain at this point.
"I see, then I have to leave for that place, the problem is..." Kirito purse his lips.
"You don't know where it is and you don't have the navigation skills most likely." Law just rubs salt on the wound.
"Sigh." Kirito just slumps, he usually is never this helpless. He mostly has a plan in mind most of the time. Future information has a big hand in that. But here, he is kind of dependent on his luck.
"Don't worry, you can come there in our boat." Luffy immediately open his big mouth, before Ussop could stop him.
And Kirito internally was waiting for this.
"Actually, this is the reason I am here." Before Kirito took the opportunity in front of him, Law spoke.
"I actually wanted to talk with Straw Hat here, but upon seeing you, I also want to bring you in this conversation," Law said as he got close to Kirito.
"Huh?" Kirito raised one of his eyebrows. Knowing that whatever coming to his way will be trouble.
How does he know?
Because Luffy is involved.
"Before that though, I want to ask you Something." The law still continues.
"What," Kirito asked with reluctance, he knew that he would say anyways even if he didn't ask.
"Tell me, Are you strong ?" Law came face to face with Kirito and asked.
...
Kirito knew that its gonna be something like this...
"Yeah pretty much. Me and My brother are the strongest shinobi of our village." Kirito just decided to lowball his power. No point attracting attention more than needed.
However, Law didn't seem satisfied with that answer. And suddenly Kirito had a bad feeling about this.
Chapter 263: Chapter 263 : Kirito Vs Law 1
However Law didn't seems satisfied with that answer. And suddenly Kirito had a bad feeling about this.
"Then fight me, lets see how strong you are, Ninja." Law said and Kirito sigh.
He saw this coming his ways from miles away, its clear that Law is asking for this cause he needed his help, becuase he knew that although he is competitive but he ain't a person who picks fights without any reasons.
"Well if you want to then be it," Kirito accepted after acting like he pondered a little.
In a world like this, especially a shonen anime kind of world, personal strength is the most important. And a place like One Piece is the biggest example of that truth.
This world is lawless, once power is the only determining factor between once surviving or dying. Kirito knew that if he wanted somewhat equal saying among the strong then he also has to show they is among them.
He too is strong.
Now if he had gotten transfigurated in this world without any powers then he would have been fuck, but that was when he was to be an ordinary person.
Unfortunately for the people of this world that Kirito is not an ordinary person, he is a Shinobi and not just any Shinobi. He is one of the best.
Others were surprised when Law suddenly challenged Kirito for a fight, but no one said anything. Law made it clear that this was not really a fight to the death but rather a spar. He wanted to see how strong was Kirito.
"Whenever you are ready," Law said as he made a little distance from Kirito and stood in front of him with his long Katana in his hand.
Kirito really wanted to test out his own swordsmanship techniques but he the lack of a good sword was an issue.
"Fine," Kirito replied as he form a hand sign, and then took a huge amount of air into his mouth.
This intrigued everyone present there, especially the children who were strategically placed behind the adults to protect them. Children knew that Kirito could do magic and now that they were finally warm again thanks to Kinemon's devil's fruits used and summoned warm clothes for them. They shifted their entire attention to the fight.
'Fire Style, Great Fire Ball Jutsu'
(I am using ' ' as in Kirito is thinking and not shouting the name of the Jutsu out loud, just pointing out to others)
Suddenly fire came out of Kirito's mouth, lighting the area around him on fire, though due to the cold weather and snow around the place, the attack lost much of its power but still it was fascinating.
Especially for Luffy, after all Ace had the Fire Fruit before he died, so after seeing that Kirito can use fire like this, somewhat made him suspect that Kirito has eaten that fruit. Which of course was not the case. Others too were fascinated, especially children.
They even acted like Kirito, as in forming the same hand sign like him and blowing air from their mouth, imitating Kirito.
Law though didn't worry too much, although surprised at how Kirito was able to use fire, Law had no idea about Chakra at this point, he wasn't there when Kirito explained it, the fire itself was quite weak.
After all fireball is still a C rannk Jutsu in Konoha. Powerful yes, but for people here who have much more resilient bodies. It was nothing.
Taking out his long sword, he easily cut open the fire ball coming at him. Then he swing his sword again to send a sword energy towards Kirito.
Now Kirito could easily block the attack but he sense that Law his use Devil Fruit energy in that slash. He first thought of testing out his Haki but upon other thoughts he just executed a replacement with a snow man which Chooper made before.
This further stunned others, giving Kirito enough time to throw close the gap between both him and Law.
Law on the other hand though was a little surprised but he wasn't too much surprised. Kirito has already been shown many different kinds of powers. The powers were too diverse to say that he has eaten a devil's fruit. Maybe multiple fuit but he doubts that.
Seeing Kirito getting closer to him, he swung his sword again at Kirito. This time he coated his sword with armament Haki rather than his fruit power.
Kirito noticed that and created a Rasengan, Law saw the spinning ball but for the time being, didn't show any reaction. Just before both the fist and sword were about to connect, Law suddenly disappeared.
Appearing right behind Kirito, ready to swing his sword. There was a smirk on his face. But he didn't notice that Kirito too was smiling.
Law failed to notice a strange Kunai was thrown in the air by Kirito just as he swung his sword earlier. The moment the attack was about to connect, Kirito too disappeared from his place.
Appear right behind Law.
"Rasengan."
There was just wasn't enough time for Law to dodge. Though his fruit was a little better at manipulating space Kirito was known for his speed.
BOOM...
Kirito hit Law right in the black spot, he didn't grind the Rasengan onto him much though, that would seriously injure him. Rather Kirito let the Rasengan blast right after the contact. Sending Law spring out from the area and slamming him at the wall.
"What, that small ball can do that too." Sanji who was in Nami's body, who saw Rasengan before was stunned with a wide eye.
"SOOOOO COOOOLLLL" Luffy, Ussop, Chopper, Franky and pretty much all the kids had stars on their faces.
Kirito just smiled at them. But he knew that the fight was still going. And soon he was proved right when Law stood up and came back.
His coat was torn and his hair looked messy with snow on his face. But he was smiling.
'Sure it is, the bodies of the people of One Piece world is not natural. While the Ninja world has endless amounts of hacks and they excel at strategic fights.
One Piece world is gifted with unnatural physics and biology which make anyone envy. Not to mention this resilience' Kirito smiles with a little helpless smile.
Knowing that normal Rasengan won't gonna cut it if he really wants to beat someone like Law.
"You can also teleport. May I asked how? Did you also eat a Devil Fruit" Law asked with curiosity.
"No, thought he explation is a little treing, I just gave all of them the same explanation. So maybe some other time but no. I have no devil fruit powers." Kirito just stick to the point and reply.
"Interesting. Find then guess both of us can stop playing and show our real power." Law asked as he got ready for round two.
'Serious huh, I don't think that a good idea.' Kirito smile thinking about this.
It's not usual that he gets serious. He was when fighting against someone like Madara or Kaguya. But for Law.
Nah, there was no need.
"Your turn, go first." Kirito just shrugged and said.
Chapter 264: Chapter 264 : Lets Talk
Now was Law's turn to attack, and Kirito just waited for him to act, his observation Haki was always actively sensing anything that guy threw at him. That was an advantage Kirito seems to have, not many people can see in the future using Observation Haki.
Kirito himself might be not as good as Katakuri when it comes to this future sight but he is strong. Especially when facing against someone like Law.
Law is strong, no doubt about it, but currently Law is nothing compared to Kirito who has fought with the likes of Madara Uchiha and Kaguya the moon goddess.
Law soon charged right ahead with his long katana in his hands. Kirito observed the glowing blade with a little intrigued, he could feel the power of the Devil Fruit put into that sword. He didn't want to come in contact with that sword if possible. Mainly becuase he is not sure whether his Haki will block that sword.
At least his Observation is screaming at him to avoid the blade rather than to clash with it, and his years of honed instincts were doing the same.
Kirito timed his action right, and when the Sword was close to him, he activated his hyperspeed.
Mainly he simulates his speed with Lightning chakra running throughout his body. This was the same kind of technique which Sasuke learned in the chunin exams but here Kirito was way better. Originally this technique was a incomplete technique in Minato's research book. He didn't have time to complete the technique.
Kirito took his mantle from there when he learned about the technique and mastered it fully. Usually, he unconsciously uses his technique to increase his speed in dangerous fights. That is why he is so fast even when using Hiraishin not so often.
Kirito dodged the blade by a hair's length, but that was intended, Hyper Speed with Observation Haki always gives liberty to pull off this kind of move.
As Kirito ducked, he formed a punch aiming for Law's abdomen. And with lightning-fast reflexes, he delivers a sharp punch towards Law. Though Law was still able to block the punch so it wasn't a direct hit but that too was fine. Even with using Armament Haki on his sword to block the punch, Law couldn't hold on to his ground for much when the chakra-infused punch coated with Haki landed on his blade.
Boom.
His hand almost bend to an unnatural angle as he has to let go of the sword otherwise it would really bend to the point he suffers an injury. The sword was throw aside while Law himself had to take a few steps back to stabilitze himself.
'Even after using Armament Haki.' Law's stunned look quickly started to turn into a disbelieving one. He slowly looks at his hand.
It was bruised even after using Armament Haki, A sharp pain was in his hand. It was now difficult to even move his hand let alone take his weapon against it and continue fighting.
Though he himself wasn't sure that even Kirito was amazed at how Law was even standing after that move.
Chakra infuse punches are very powerful, not just anyone can take them and here was Law. 'Sigh, this world is much more weirder than I am ready for.' Kirito just sighed internally and then let his fighting stand go.
The fight was over, even Law knew that.
Of course, he could continue fighting but that was not the reason he was here. He just wanted to know how strong is Kirito.
"I give, you are strong," Law said without much hesitation. Though he by no means is saying that he himself is weak.
"Thanks, but now let's focus on what you wanted to talk about. I have my own problems to worry about so if I don't see how this proposition of yours helps me. I might rather not get involved." Kirito was direct. He has almost zero knowledge of post-time skip One Piece.
He does know a little thanks to all the spoilers, maybe they are not that bad, context really matters when saying something, Kirito still only had a few things clear in his head like Luffy will somehow end up fighting the likes of Big Mom, Kaido and Doflamingo.
So he rather just not get involved as long as all this trouble doesn't lead him towards Asuna.
"I see. What do you want exactly ?" Law asked with narrowed eyes, still kind of hiding the injury on his hand. He can most likely can heal it later on, he is a doctor after all, but right now he shouldn't show any kind of weakness.
"I am looking for a person, A girl to be exact.
Red Hair, violet eyes and a temper to boot it all up. Name Uzumaki Asuma. She is a Kunoiche from where I am. We got lost and now I'm trying to track her down." Kirito calmed himself and explained everything. Though he is not sure how Law is supposed to help him find the girl but its worth a chance.
"I see, if information is what you are looking for then Dressrosa is indeed a place where you can find some clues. But if you really want to track her down then you rather go to the person who has the second biggest information network in the new world." Law said with contemplation on his face.
"Oh, and who is this person and why go for second ?" Kirito asked with curiosity. Though he knew why the second. Second becuase the first is always the world government. And those sons of bitches rather put him and Asuna in labs to learn the mystery of Chakra than tell him where the girl is.
"Because the first one is the world government. If they were the Marines then you still had a chance but the World Government, let's just say they are too high and mighty to deal with the likes of us.
The second would be Big Mom. She has an extensive network over the new world. If there is one person who can help you find the girl you want then it's her." Law said, though in his mind he was pondering how he could tie Kirito to their boat.
Kirito is strong, no doubt about it. So as long as he can show that they can help him with this girl he was looking for, he mostly will help them.
"I see, fine then starts with what you wanted to talk about." Kirito nodded. Now he at least had a lead, so even if the conversation doesn't work out here with both Luffy and Law, he can just get out, find a Navigator for himself and find Big Mom.
Though he doesn't want to, it's dangerous dealing with an emperor of the sea but he has no other choice. This was the first time he learned that Big Mom has a good information network though.
"Straw Hat, Come with us," Law shouted upon seeing Luffy making a snowman with the kids.
Leading both Kirito and Luffy to a far place. Of course, someone from Straw Hats joined in as they didn't believe Luffy when it came to this sort of official thing.
Chapter 265: Chapter 265 : Let's Talk 2
"So you are planning on taking down an Emperor," Kirito asked with a little raised eye. After listening to Laws' idea, Kirito wasn't sure whether it was good luck that he met Law and Straw Hats or it was a trap set up for him by that being who sent him here.
For a second he didn't reply anything, just kept on thinking. He knew that while the first half of the grand line was under the Marine's control, the second half was under the control of the four emperors.
Considering that black beard most likely has taken the place of whitebeard, it should still be four, right?
"Who are you after," Kirito asked. It very much depends on whom Law is targeting here.
If it's Blackbeard then it's most likely going to be easier than to beat the likes of Big Mom, Kaido or Shanks.
"Kaido," Law said as both Kirito and Luffy heard this and continued. Well, actually that contemplating/worrying was done by Nami on behalf of Luffy. She came to look over the conversation, becuase Luffy is well, LUFFY !
"Okay, I'm in," Luffy said with a wide smile on his face.
"Heh, what, Luffy think before you are talking. This is Kaido we are talking about." Nami shouted, and currently, she was in Franky's body so it looked even more bizarre.
"Hehehehehe" Luffy just laughed.
Kirito did not even bother to observe them anymore. His mind currently was racing. After pondering a little the magic words then escape from his mouth.
"What's in it for me."
"What do you want," Law asked.
"Just need to find this girl I am looking for. As long as you can help me find her Location. I'm in." Kirito replied with a dignified tone.
He too actually wanted to fight with Kaido a little. Getting strong opponents is hard to find. There are many in One Piece but he really wants to fight the strongest. Kaido is such an opponent.
After all, everyone wants to know whether that dragon is stronger or a Nine Tail Fox.
"Only that much," Law asked with a little confused look appear on his face like he was asking why that girl is so important that you are ready to fight even an emperor of the sea.
"Only that much." Kirito nodded.
"Find we will help you find her. Asuna was it. As long as the alliance holds up or even after when we beat Kaido and take control over Wano.
We will help you find the Asuna you are looking for. " Law replies with a serious tone and by the end even looks at Luffy to see whether he agrees.
"Huh, sure. We will help you find her." Luffy was still nonchalant.
"Sign, fine.
If it has come to this then let's go with that, when we are leaving for Wano. I am sure that Cake Island also falls in the same route. You won't mind if I give Big Mom a visit." Kirito asked while forming a plan for the trip. It was clear that his trip would be extended.
His earlier plans to come here, teleport to Asuna, grab her and then back to there time wasn't gonna work. If only his Haraishin tag he places on the girl worked. But somehow it's not working, most likely because of this entire space-dimensional travel.
"No problem, but we can't leave here right now. I still have something to do." Law said but nothing further explanation.
"I see, need any help. If an extra hand can accelerate whatever you are doing then do tell." Kirito said, emphasizing that he dont want to waste more time there.
Law earlier wanted to just handle his problems on his own and then leave for the Dressrosa but after he heard the eagerness in Kirito's words, he too pondered the situation.
He was indeed alone and couldn't do everything on his own. So...
"I actually do have something which you can do.
"hmm."
.
.
.
After the talk with Law. Kirito decided to leave the Straw Hats for some time. He just wanted to know what really Law is after at this point.
He is after a man called Caesar Clown. Though unlike what Kirito first thought, he wanted to capture this man alive and not kill him.
There are currently two people on the island who might will act as his bodyguard. One is Monet, a girl with green hair and wings instead of hands.
And a man named Vergo, on the surface, is a Marline but in reality, he works for Doflamingo.
Caesar himself is a man who eats gas-gas fruit, meaning catching him would be hard.
But that has nothing to do with Kirito, Law asks him to take care of Vergo and if possible then Monet too. Though Vergo still remains the main target.
And that is what he plans to do.
After the talk with Law, Kirito just said this.
"Give me an hour. I'll have his head."
And this was the reality of being a Ninja. A ruthless killer. They are assassins most of the time. Although a shinobi or Kunoiche can choose a mission according to their choice most of the time. It's not always the case.
Kirito himself has to kill many times.
Leaving Law and Strawhats with the kids, Kirito found a clearing.
He stood in one place for a second before starting to reach out for the natural energy of this world.
To his surprise, the natural energy of this world was even better than his own world.
But it was just that much more volatile. Because he was dealing with this natural energy here for the first time, he didn't directly go ahead and absorb it but rather slowly analysed the energy before entering into the sage mode.
The Sage mode with this new natural energy was also a little different. Instead of orange pigmentation appearing around his eyes, it was black pigments.
But besides that everything else was similar.
Kirito felt that his own chakra was somewhat rejecting this new natural energy at first, but as he gave more time, he started to adapt to the power.
Once he was in Sage mode, he spread his senses to find most of the people on the island.
There was no one besides a few animals on the fire side of the island. On the Snow side though there are more than 160 people at this time.
Now along with them, he has to find one Vergo.
Sensing Chakra surely won't work but he realized that with new energy in him, his haki was even more powerful for some reason.
So he planned to try to sense Haki itself.
He already knows all the possible people here who could use Haki on this small Island.
So removing them it wasn't hard for Kirito to pinpoint a person with strong Haki.
"Found him."
Chapter 266: Chapter 266 : Assassin
Kirito with sage mode on was quickly able to find pretty much everyone's location on the island. After doing some basic filtering it wasn't hard to find where Vergo was.
"Are you Vergo ?" Kirito asked as soon as he saw a man with a white suit, black glass and funky facial hair. It helps that there ain't many people on the island who can use Haki in the first place so sorting out the Haki users with the help of his sensing wasn't hard.
"Yes, who are you again," Vergo replied and asked with a nonchalant tone like he didn't even care at all.
"I see, well I am here to kill you." Kirito too was nonchalant. This was a daily everyday thing for him. Which in a way it was, just not the killing part. Ninjas do more things than just killing.
Kirito rushed at Vergo with fast speed and without Haki or any other power, engaged with him in hand-to-hand combat.
Vergo saw this with again no particular expression on his face, he intercepted Kirito's incoming kick with his hand, blocking it while also checking out how powerful Kirito was.
Kirito did use a little bit of chakra to infuse strength there because that was the only way that he could cope with the people here in the One Piece world.
So what Vergo experienced was not like a normal person but rather a top low-level cadet of a squad in the Marine. Stronge but nothing special.
He makes a fist and punches at Kirito's head, ready to knock him out with just one punch. Only for Kirito to masterfully evade the punch, twist his body and Vergo's extended hand at the same movement to make him a little off balance.
"You are strong, but you lack fighting powerful is useless if your attacks don't connect." Kirito said with a smirk as he took out Kunai and try to stab Vergo with it.
Only for Kunai to be blocked as a sound of iron clashing came.
Before Kirito did anything after his attack was nullified with what he can only say was the Armament Haki of the opponent. Vergo swung his arm, which was completely covered with Haki at this point, hitting Kirito square on the chest.
Sending him flying backwards. But once again the sound of iron clashing came, indicating that Vergo's hand also collided with Kirito's armament Haki.
Boom...
Kirito hit the wall with a bang, almost destroying the wall as Kirito's body was covered with Haki. Protecting him from the attack.
Less than a second and Kirito was back on his legs, completely harmless.
"Hmm, that was way too easy than I anticipated. You guys here sure are strong but do lack brains and tact." Kirito smirked as he raised his as he was holding something.
That was the only time when he got any kind of reason out of Vergo, although he couldn't see Vergo's eyes widening thanks to those glasses he was wearing his facial features did tell him that he did that.
"When did you," Vergo asked as he hurriedly looked in his clothes, only to realise that what he was searching for was missing. Of course that something was in Kirito's hands.
"Law's Heart.
He told me that you have it. I had two objectives. One to kill you and second to get this." Kirito said and magically, to Vergo's confusion, the beating heart in Kirito's hand vanished with a puff of smoke as Kirito close his fist.
"Who are you? The law sends you right. Do you understand who you are going against here ?" Vergo asked with a serious expression on his face now. He was taken aback at how Kirito was able to steal that heart from him or make it vanish from thin air but there are many Devil Fruits which can do that so he didn't care that much.
Right now what was more important for him was to take back Law's heart and kill Kirito here. He took out his white coat, only to showcase a very well-developed muscular body underneath, which started to get covered with a full body armament Haki. This was the first time Kirito was looking at a full-body Armament implication and he has to say that this looked pretty dope.
But...
Kirito still had his hand up in which he was holding the heart previously, as his closed fist opened up, wild chakra started to appear on his hand.
Vergo who was moving towards Kirito also stopped as he saw a ball forming on Kirito's hand. A ball spinning wildly and consists of wind.
Kirito just smirked, 'it has been a while.' He rushes towards Vergo with extreme speed while also throwing a kunai towards him.
Seeing the kunai coming Vergo didn't care at all. That kunai can't do anything to him but that ball of rotating wing was dangerous. Vergo though had no idea what that thing was supposed to be but he knew that it was dangerous. So dangerous that even his own armament haki can't save him.
He rather avoids it.
Unfortunately for poor Vergo, the real thing which he should have avoided was that kunai.
Swooop...
As soon as the Kunai reached Vergo, who didn't even care if it came in contact with his body, Kirito appeared there like some like of ghost, completely out of thin air.
Vergo's observation haki was the bare minimum at best but at that time even that was screaming at him to run.
Once again unfortunately for him, he was just like thousand of those people who were just too slow to avoid Kirito's attack.
"Wind Style Rasenshuriken." Kirito mutters as he drills that powerful rotating ball of blades made out of winds at Vergo's body.
Chapter 267: Chapter 267 : Slime
Dealing with Vergo was easier than he thought, just had to use a powerful attack like Rasensuriken and he was out for the count.
"People here really don't know how to fight tactfully. All muscles and punches." Kirito just sighed, he knew that the person he just beat so easily was because of him using flying thundergod. But still, he felt that people here are lacking when it comes to combat IQ compared to the Ninja world.
But that had nothing to do with him, as he saw Vergo finally die, he left to find another one of his targets. Named Monet.
The problem was that, unlike Vergo with a clear Haki signature, Monet had none. Meaning he had to search for that bird woman with green hair on the entire island. He didn't want to do that. And her inclusion was just an addition to the mission at best.
He already completed the two main objectives of his mission so its should be fine if he doesn't go after that girl anyways.
But still, he created one clone to search for her just in case. Who knows, maybe he can find her.
.
.
.
As Vergo was dead and Kirito obtained Law's heart, he went out to find the straw hats again, that was the plan.
As he stepped out of the facility he saw a giant purple mountain on the other side of the island, the side which was set on fire.
"Now what, I am positive that that wasn't there earlier." Kirito curses under his breath. On first look he could tell that thing was trouble brewing. He quickly intends to deal with the last person on the list and leave this island.
Actually, Monet wasn't the person he wanted to go after. It was Caesar Clown himself. It wasn't in the plan as Law never discussed that.
But since when did he become Law's or Luffy's underling?
He didn't take orders from the likes of Tsunade, so who the fuck are they!
He knew that Law needed that clown for something, so killing was off-limits but he surely planned to beat him to a pulp and complete whatever Law was taking so much time doing as soon as possible. So they can finally leave this freaking Island.
He had a good plan brewing in his head by now. He will push those kids on the Marines, they are supposed to be the good guys right? So they will take care of them. And Kirito himself know that Smoker is a good guy so he will take care of them.
With Caesar's capture and the issue of those kids solved, they can leave this island as soon as possible.
But now seeing that purple mountain, Kirito had a bad feeling.
.
.
.
Just like Monet, Kirito can't sense Caesar, well more like can't tell him apart from other people without Haki on the island. If only people of this world had chakra.
Just like Chakra, individual Haki also have a distinct signature, finding them or remembering them with that is easy. But those who don't have Haki. It's an absolute nightmare to locate them.
Kirito made a note that he gonna put his seal in anyone He doesn't have haki to locate them easily from now on. But this was inevitable and this gonna create a lot of problems for him to locate anyone from now on, he just had to use his ninja training to locate others in an old-fashioned way sometimes.
So having nothing else to do, Kirito decided to see what what was that big purple mountain was.
Again thanks to the fact that he already had a temporary seal at the centre of the island, he was easily able to teleport himself there, only to come across a strange nasty smell.
"Poison".
Kirito with just one smell could say that whatever that mountain thing was? It was made out of poisonous sustance. He too was a medic Nin in some sense and had knowledge about poison and other things.
But what baffled him the most was the fact that that mountain thing was shooting small parts of himself from the fireside to the ice side.
"Serious! What is wrong with this world? Nothing makes sense here ?"
Kirito was sure that this had something to do with a devil fruit power, he just wasn't sure what.
Upon seeing that those small balls that thing was shooting across to the other side of the island were a smaller version of itself?
"This almost feels like it can't cross the small pound, which was in the the middle of the island, by itself and thus was shooting smaller parts of itself across.
Knowing that the thing was poisonous in nature, Kirito didn't want it to come to the ice side of the island, he rather not have those kids come close to that thing.
So he quickly took out a kunai with an explosion tag attached to it and threw it toward the smaller smile-like creatures which were making their way towards him.
But before even those explosion tags got connected, his observation haki reacted, making his eyes wide as he quickly made distances from those slimes.
Next second….
Boooooooooommmmmmmmm...…
An explosion which surely almost everyone on the island had heard resounded.
"What the hell, those fuckers are explosive in nature?" Kirito cursed.
Chapter 268: Chapter 268 : Explosion
Kirito after making some distance from the dangerous slime, started to ponder. Now knowing that the slime is explosive in nature and poisonous. He was extremely unwilling to let that giant slime cross over the small lake.
But there is a problem, he doesn't have any way to completely destroy it without making it explode.
'I knew, this was gonna be more trouble than it looked.' Kirito mutters with frustration. It was obvious that it would be disastrous if he let those things cross the lake and go after the other people on the ice side of the lake.
So he quickly started to come up with a solution, a way to make that thing disappear without making it explode.
'Hmmm...'
'There might be a way, using wind style to push that thing away from the island, and then use something powerful to make it explode. Make a Bijudama or my atomic tag, one should suffice.'
Kirito quickly formed a plan and got ready. But then he wonders again if it is even possible to do that. It shouldn't technically. No matter how powerful a wind attack he uses, there is no way that he can make that entire thing push far enough to make the explosion fall out of range.
His lips pursed, mind trying to find more ways to unconsciously dodge the attacks that came at him from the smaller slimes, a piece of cake for him.
"Alright, change of plan, I'd rather erect a barrier between both the ice and fire side of the island and then make things explode." Kirito got ready and then formed a hand seal.
'Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu.' Kirito said as multiple clones appeared out of a puff of smoke.
"You guys know what to do, go go... be quick," Kirito shouted as all of his clones nodded and ran off.
Kirito himself find a safe and quiet place before taking out a scroll and retreating sealing materials from it.
He planned to make his Uzumaki special atomic explosive tag.
.
.
.
While Kirito was doing his thing, Law and Luffy with a few others were on a mission of their own. They went directly after Caesar, becuase Kirito helped to take Law's heart from Vergo and deliver it with a clone to him, Luffy and Law immediately went after Caesar.
Luffy being Luffy, idiot and uncaring to the core as long as it's, not something completely obvious or connected to his crew members, did not care much. Law was different though, when Kirito said that he would take care of Vergo in an hour, Law was snorted internally but now seeing his heart in his hand, he truly understood how strong Kirito really was.
They were about to go after Caesar now but there luck, Caesar came out from his hiding at that time by himself.
He appeared where the rest of the Straw Hats were fighting with the other underlings of Caesar in their strange space suits.
That was when Caesar appeared and started to cause chaos there.
"Shurorororo" Caesar was a man covered with pink gas like he was wearing a coat made of gas and with violet long hairs and pale skin. Really looked like a Clown.
"Hey you, are you the master those children were talking about." Luffy was the first one to arrive there and asked.
Before leaving the rest of the Straw Hats, those kids started to act differently, attacking things around them and asking for candy of all things.
Thanks to Chopper they realized that this master who gave them candy was actually drugging them, in fact, the strange grown in size of these kids was also a side effect of this candy.
Luffy though didn't make it obvious on his face, but he was angry.
"Shurororororor." You must be the straw hat. " You are the one who took my children. Do you have any idea what you did." Caesar said though he wasn't sounding that he was mad he still had a smile on his face.
There was no more talking as Luffy started fighting with Caesar. Of course, Law arrived but didn't enter the fight. Both he and Luffy were a member of the worst generation. They have their own pride.
Little did they know that things were not gonna go their way. Only because there was one cheat-like ability that Caesar possessed.
Removing a certain gas from the surroundings. Gas like Oxygen...
.
.
.
20 minutes later, two members of the worst generation and other members of Straw Hats Pirate were lying inside a cage, tied by sea stone handcuffs.
"Shororororor."
"I told you it's futile. You should have just left this island when you had the chance." Caesar said as he saw Luffy, Law, Robin, Tashigi, Smoker and Franky inside the case, all tied up.
"Let us go," Luffy shouted, others couldn't do anything but sigh at this. They were captured and the handcups they had on were sea stones.
"Don't bother Straw Hat. There is no way that you can get out of there." Caesar laughed again.
"Monet, where is Vergo? He should be here. He has Law's heart. I can't wait to punish this guy for double-crossing me." Caesar asked the beautiful bird girl sitting beside her with a smile on her cute face.
"He was looking for those kids. But then I lost connection with him. Don't worry, he should be back soon." Monet said with a calm tone.
Law after hearing this smile from the side. There was a gleam on his face. But he kept his mouth shut. He knew that they still had a chance. If they are not killed directly then Kirito will surely will come looking for them. Considering how much that guy was eager to get out of this island.
Just when he was about to say something so that he could get more time for them, the earth trembled.
Then what followed was an ear-shattering sound of an explosion which even stunned someone like Luffy.
The entire building shook. Making everyone panic.
Chapter 269: Chapter 269 : Momonosuke
The entire island shook and the tremble left everyone stunned. But that wasn't enough as the earth-shattering sound of the explosion which followed was even more frightening.
Those who were inside only heard the sound but only those who were outside to see the explosion with their own eyes could experience this horrible explosion.
It was like an atomic bomb exploding in the neighbourhood, making everyone gobsmacked and look at the explosion with wide eyes.
It looked like a sun suddenly appeared in front of them, like the birth of a new sun. Many people who were outside had no idea how they were even standing there alive after seeing that wall of fire on the other side of the island.
But some could tell, there was an invisible barrier which stopped that explosion from reaching them.
Kirito stood just a little away from the giant barrier, using his Nine Tail Chakra alongside his clones to keep up the barrier. The explosion was much stronger than he anticipated.
It wasn't hard to put that atomic seal inside that giant slime, but keeping this barrier up was much harder.
With gritting his teeth, he kept up the barrier so that the explosion didn't reach the ice side of the island.
The Uzumaki barrier technique which Kirito learned was not exactly meant to stop this kind of large-scale attacks. He learns that first-hand when he fought with Raikage last time. He back then ran out of all of his chakra, which cost him dearly that day.
But thanks to the Nine Tail Chakra, this was much better.
.
.
.
Kirito clone which he found Monet was having a hard time locating her. It was much harder than he expected to find that bird woman.
No haki or chakra to track her and no footprint either, she just flies around.
While looking around the place, Kirito stumbles upon a garbage dumb, or at least that is what he thought this place was. Tons of broken stuff and garbage everywhere.
Sighing, the clone can't help but want to stop this pointless mission given to him by the main and just disappear with a puff of smoke. But before doing that, he has to look around a little to show for himself that at least he tried.
Just when he was about to get out of his dumb, he heard a voice.
'Something or someone is here' Clone muttered as he heard the sound of ruffling. He tenses up, looking around with his Observation Haki for anyone.
Operation Haki is actually never about long-distance sensing, this was mostly used when combat. Chakra sensing is more adaptable for locating others from a long distance.
So here he can easily sense anyone around him.
Clone quickly trace down a small figure around in the shadow. This was a snake-like figure.
"Come out, I know that you are here," Clone said with a stern stone.
"Who are you ?" came a child-like voice, making the clone stunned for a second. His earlier tense muscle relaxes a little. That sound was exactly like a kid. He didn't want to hurt the kid, but with his observation Haki, he was sure that this person had the body of a snake, not a human.
But again this world has zoan-type devil fruits. It's totally possible for that child to eat that fruit after all.
"I am Namikaze Kirito. A Shinobi." Clone said as he pinpointed where the sound came from.
"A Ninja, are you from Wano ?" The child's voice trembles, The clone can't say why but the name Wano came up so it has to be something with that place. Maybe the child is from there.
"No, I am not. I am from Konoha. However, I did meet a samurai just a few hours ago. His name was Kinemon. He was looking for his son.
Momonosuke.
Are you him ?" Clone suddenly remember this little bit of information and asked, the possibility of that happening was extremely high.
"You know Kinemon ?" this time the sound was a little more cheerful as the figure in the snake came out of the shadow.
Clone saw a pink snake or a pink miniature eastern dragon. Or at least that is what he believed and what he saw.
"Yes, though only for a few minutes at best but you can say that we are friends. So I'll take that you are Momonosuke." Clone asked.
"Yes."
"I see, well I was looking for someone else entirely but now that I have found you then I should take you to Kinemon. We are leaving this island soon. I rather not delay more if possible.
Why you are here? I will take it that you are stuck here." Clone asked as he observed the surrounding area. There was no escape from here besides flying or climbing from that wall. '
He can do that easily, but Momonosuke can't."
"How you know," Momonosuke asked surprised.
"It's not hard to figure that out if we just observe the area. I am a Shinobi after all." Clone said with a smile.
"So can you turn back? I presume that you had eaten a Zoan-type devil fruit. Do you know how to turn back?" Kirito asked with a raise of his eyebrows.
"Devil Fruit, what's that? Can I turn back into a human again." the pink dragon asked with confusion.
'Sigh, troublesome...' Kirito just sighed internally.
Then he heard a sound of stomach rumbling coming from Momonosuke.
The kid was in denial that he was hungry. Kirito just took out a scroll and laid it on the ground.
"Here eat something, you will need it when we get out of here," Kirito said as he placed his hand on the open scroll and with a puff of smoke came out many different types of food from that scroll.
Chapter 270: Chapter 270 : Capture Caesar
After the explosion, everyone ran out to see what was going on outside, only to see the fireside of the island covered with black smoke. It took some time for that smoke from the explosion to clear out, only for others to see that the entire other side of the Island was gone.
They didn't know what exactly they should be more amazed about. The explosion, the fact that the entire one side of the island is gone now or that they all are alive to see this in the first place?
Caesar and Monet too ran out to see what was going on. Both could fly so doing what wasn't hard. Of course, Luffy, Law and others just had to stay inside the case.
"Yo, I wasn't expecting you all to end up here this quickly," Kirito said with a little smile on his face.
Once he took care of that giant slime and the after-effect of the explosion caused by him. He teleported directed to both Luffy and Law's direction. Wanting to ask whether are they done with that Clown, only to see them caged in.
"Kirito," Luffy said and Law too looked with a little embarrassment on his face.
"Quick, remove us from this case. We have to capture Caesar." Luffy shouted.
Kirito didn't directly do that though, he looked around, finding Robin, Franky, Tashiqi and Smoker also there.
"Who are you? You don't have a bounty on you." Smoker asked, he was still on Tashiqi's body and had her huge boobs partially explode as he didn't button up her shirt.
"Namikaze Kirito, yes I don't have a bounty. Not a pirate, I am a ninja." Kirito reply.
Kirito tried really hard not to look up it was getting a failing effort. So he quickly just moved his body and ripped apart the case and then removed those sea stone handcuffs from them. Also made sure that he stored them while no one was watching, just in case he ever needed them later on.
"Took care of Vergo. Can't find that Monet girl though. I assume you get your heart back ?" Kirito asked. Though he knew his clone did as he got their memories. But he still asked nonetheless.
"Yeah," Laws just nodded, he knew that Kirito could make clones of himself he didn't ask any further about how he didn't know about the heart when he himself delivered it.
"Good, then tell me where is that Caesar, you guys are wasting too much time capturing him," Kirito said as he got ready to move out.
"One minute, you are not supposed to kill him." Law reminded.
"I know, I know. I will capture him alive." Kirito with a roll on his side.
"No, I will be the one who will fight Caesar," Luffy shouted.
"You had a chance, didn't you? You obviously failed." Kirito said as he started to head out.
"Oh, that's not fair. He cheated. I will kick his ass this time." Shouted Luffy but Kirito didn't care.
.
.
.
Kirito found both Monet and Caesar flying high up in the air. Looking at the site of the explosion.
Kirito immediately got as close to them as possible and then closed his eyes. He was wondering how Luffy and Law with Conqueror's Haki could fail to capture two people with no Haki at all.
Suddenly his closed eyes opened up, and powerful Conqueror's haki broke out rushing at both flying enemies.
Kirito's Haki directly hit both Monet and Caesar head-on. While Monet directly collapsed from the sky as her eyes rolled back, completely unconscious.
Caesar surprisingly holds up his own. Though he too fell from the sky. He just didn't fall unconscious.
Kirito just created one clone to catch the bird girl. He is hesitant to kill anyone until it is not completely important as he is not sure which character might be important in the later part of the story.
That doesn't mean that he will not kill, Vergo is a good example but he rather not until it's completely important.
Caesar jolted up and wanted to shout at Kirito only to find that the man was gone.
Huh?
Clang.
He heard a sound and felt power leaving his body quickly.
"What did you...
"Sea Stone Hand Cups. I can use Haki but why bother when I have something this useful? Now I promise that I won't kill you and capture you alive. But that doesn't mean that I won't kick your ass.
I heard that you are experimenting on kids." Kirito's eyes suddenly took a cold glare. He was mad from the very beginning from the start when he heard that he was experimenting with kids.
Fortunately for Caesar, the Kiritos still don't know the information his clone got from Momonosuke that those kids will die due to Caesar's drugging them.
Only becuase that clone was still with Momonosuke that Kirito was unaware of this fact.
Otherwise, Kirito might really have killed Caesar.
