It was evening, and the time-limited event was about to end. Group members gradually returned to their own worlds, waiting at home for the event to conclude.
Countdown: 10 seconds…
10, 9, 8… 3, 2, 1…
At that moment, a mechanical synthesized voice sounded in the ears of all group members.
"Time-limited event concluded. Event settlement in progress…"
"Settlement complete. The Navy faction wins the faction battle."
"Rewards being distributed…"
As the last sentence echoed in everyone's mind, all members who participated in the faction battle received their rewards.
At Marineford, in the Admiral's office.
"So these are the Resurrection Coins?"
Borsalino, first place in this event, held a Resurrection Coin between his right thumb and forefinger, lifting it to the air and examining the slightly rough craftsmanship.
"Not quite what I expected!"
"How do we use these Resurrection Coins?"
Sakazuki crossed his arms, glanced at the coin, and asked seriously, "Do we sell it to other members for money, or use it to resurrect someone?"
Sengoku looked at Zephyr. Zephyr shook his head. "My advice is to sell it."
Sengoku then looked at the others, who had no objections.
Thus, two Resurrection Coins were listed in Sengoku's private shop, priced at 900,000 coins each.
This price was lower than the official shop's, so anyone wanting resurrection items would likely check Sengoku's private shop first.
In Konoha, in a private room of a barbecue restaurant.
"Yoshi! Reward in hand, hahaha…"
Tsunade finished a glass of beer in one gulp and laughed heartily.
The three from Konoha successfully split the rewards, ranking tenth, eleventh, and twelfth. Tsunade obtained the two abilities she wanted.
"I'll treat today, eat as much as you like."
She slammed the glass onto the table with a "dong," exhaled a mouthful of alcohol, and waved her hand casually.
"You helped me so much, but just one barbecue meal is hardly enough,"
Orochimaru picked up a piece of grilled pork belly, chewing as he spoke.
"Then what do you want to eat?" Tsunade glanced at Orochimaru.
"I want to eat…"
Orochimaru's gaze flickered between Tsunade and Jiraiya. His next words were interrupted by Jiraiya suddenly speaking.
"Ah!"
Jiraiya's shout drew Tsunade and Orochimaru's attention. Changing the topic, he asked, "Orochimaru, what's the tenth-place reward?"
Coward!
Even an assist served on a silver platter, and he didn't dare take it.
Orochimaru shot Jiraiya a sidelong glance, sighed, and followed his lead to change the topic.
Discussions about rewards were happening simultaneously in multiple locations.
In the Pirate faction, defeated members were somewhat dissatisfied—at least those who had really tried.
Those who had slacked off or just aimed for rewards felt no disappointment at all.
The hardest-working members, ranked near the top, were undoubtedly the most disappointed and unwilling to accept defeat.
"Drinks? Want to join?"
"Where?"
"We'll meet up."
"Okay!"
Uchiha Fugaku privately messaged Namikaze Minato, arranging a drinking session to drown their sorrows in just a few words.
Others who decided to drink away their frustrations included several from the Akatsuki organization and a few from Sunagakure.
These dozen or so people were the top twenty of the Pirate faction.
Among them, the only one in the top twenty who didn't feel much dissatisfaction was Kurozetsu.
The reason was simple: by looting the Celestial Dragons' treasury, Kurozetsu had earned enough money to save his mother. The overwhelming joy in his heart easily washed away any feelings of regret.
.........
In the Dimensional Shop, nothing had changed.
Kurozetsu sat at the counter, fists clenched on his knees. The millennium-old demon seemed somewhat nervous.
"The payment required to break Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's seal has been received."
Before the words even finished, Muyang and Kurozetsu vanished from the shop.
Having collected the payment, Muyang immediately teleported with Kurozetsu into the ninja world.
The moon's surface was pitted and cratered, with no sign of life—no animals, no plants—a dead, desolate atmosphere.
At first glance, it looked exactly like the moon in people's imagination.
But in reality, the moon's interior contained another space, home to the descendants of Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo.
Muyang didn't focus on the moon's interior. Instead, he directly began breaking Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's seal.
Under Kurozetsu's nervous gaze, Muyang slowly raised his right hand, inching it forward. His arm gradually disappeared as though reaching into a box.
Tilting his head, eyes scanning left and right, he gently wiggled his hand, appearing as if he were searching inside a box.
Kurozetsu watched silently, his eyes fixed on Muyang's half-disappeared arm.
"Ah~~"
After a few minutes, Muyang suddenly called out. Kurozetsu immediately tensed, watching as Muyang's arm gradually reappeared, holding something.
After a short while, Kurozetsu fell silent, staring at the object in Muyang's hand.
Muyang himself also remained silent, gazing at what he held.
Though covered by a thick cloth, he could still feel its softness, elasticity, and nearly spherical curvature.
Hmmmm…
If I'm not mistaken, what I'm holding is…
Muyang looked down at the pure white fabric in his hand and didn't pull further, lost in thought.
Normally, in typical stories, accidentally touching "XX" would lead to a slap from a female to a male.
But is Ōtsutsuki Kaguya an ordinary woman?
From any perspective, Kaguya is far from ordinary!
He felt that if he pulled her out, a whole arsenal of deadly abilities would instantly be unleashed at his handsome face.
Abilities like hair needles that could pierce steel plates in an instant, Eighty Gods' Void Strike that could pulverize a mountain, and Shared Killing Ash Bones capable of annihilating even Susanoo in a single blow…
A rapid sequence of images flashed through Muyang's mind. Suddenly, he realized:
None of these abilities could break my defense.
Ah! Then it's fine.
As long as my face is thick enough, I have nothing to fear.
With that thought, Muyang exerted force. With a "pop—!" sound, he pulled Ōtsutsuki Kaguya completely out of the sealed space.
However, things did not go as Muyang expected. Kaguya's expression remained indifferent.
"How long do you plan to hold me?"
"Ah! Sorry! I didn't mean it…"
Hearing this, Muyang quickly withdrew his hand and offered a standard, polite apology.
"It's fine." Kaguya adjusted her robes and calmly said, "Thank you for rescuing me."
"Mother!!!"
Beside her, Kurozetsu detached from Shirozetsu's body, leaping excitedly toward Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.
