Chapter 76: Looting Target—One Tail Shukaku
[The Third World War]
[Power Looting Mode]
[Pirate World battle candidates confirmed]
[Target: Hidden Sand Village — One Tail Shukaku]
[Battle Location: Ninja World — Land of Wind — Sunagakure]
Plunder? A Tailed Beast?
Yuichi stared at the text displayed on the screen of light.
Steal One Tail Shukaku? Even if we snatch it, does the power of the One Tail really belong to the world of Pirates?
[Upon completion of the plunder, the power will be transferred to the victor's world.]
Sure enough, just as Yuichi was pondering the question, the screen provided the answer.
The people of the Pirate World didn't understand or know what "One Tail Shukaku" was, or what its existence represented.
However, the people in the Ninja World began to shout in panic.
"Are you kidding me? Tailed Beasts are the ultimate power of our world! It will be a disaster if they are captured by the other side!"
"Every single Tailed Beast represents a strategic level of power. We absolutely cannot let the opponent snatch it!"
It went without saying how powerful a Tailed Beast was.
If a single Tailed Beast were placed in the Pirate World, it would possess enough power to easily destroy a country.
Furthermore, Chakra had the special ability to directly attack the entities of Logia users.
Once a Tailed Beast fired a Tailed Beast Bomb, even a Logia user wouldn't be able to stop it.
The spectators were buzzing with excitement as they looked towards the opposing world. The people of the Pirate World, however, were at a loss.
"Tailed Beast? What is that? Some kind of strange creature?"
"I don't know, but judging by their reaction, this thing must be very important!"
"That's not the point! Look at the announcement—the battle is in the opponent's world! That means our people are about to enter another world to fight!"
Enter another world.
What was the other party's world like?
This question intrigued everyone, from Whitebeard and Big Mom to the Five Elders holding the highest power in the Holy Land of Mariejois. They all desperately wanted to know.
In the Pirate World, everyone who noticed this was eager to see the true face of the other side.
[The Third World War is about to begin.]
[Spectator seats resetting.]
Swish!
The people of the Pirate World who were seated in the spectator stands were suddenly wrapped in light.
In an instant, a different group of faces appeared.
There were only one hundred seats in the spectator area. For an entire world, the probability of being drawn from billions of people to sit in the audience was so small it was almost negligible.
But the King of Luck appeared.
It was Whitebeard!
Of the previous audience members, only Whitebeard remained. The others disappeared, and the position previously occupied by Big Mom was filled by another acquaintance.
"Brat Kaido! You're lucky enough to be picked too!"
Kaido, regaining his senses, took a swig from his flagon and turned his head to look at Whitebeard. "Stinky old man, you're not dead yet?"
Whitebeard grinned. "I'm full of energy now. Brat Kaido, do you want to try fighting me again?"
Hearing this, Kaido took another sip of wine and glanced at Whitebeard. The old man was indeed brimming with vitality, his aura much stronger than before.
Compared to his previous sickly state, the difference was like night and day. Fighting the World's Strongest Man in this condition would not be a wise move.
"Tch! I'm not interested in bullying the elderly!"
"Edward Newgate, long time no see!"
Hearing another familiar voice, Whitebeard turned to his left. Another old acquaintance had appeared in the position originally belonging to Ace.
"Garp... you guys aren't dead yet either?"
Garp crossed his arms and smiled stiffly. "I won't die even if you do!"
Garp growled in exasperation, but Whitebeard was no longer looking at him. His gaze shifted to the person next to Garp.
"Sengoku, long time no see!"
Sengoku, having just arrived in the spectator stands, was focused on Yuichi in the duel field and had no time to chat with Whitebeard.
Seeing that the pirate took the initiative to speak to him, he simply glanced at Whitebeard lightly. "Yeah. Long time no see. I didn't expect us to meet again on such an occasion. It's a bit different from what I imagined."
Hearing this, Whitebeard was stunned for a moment before he understood Sengoku's implication.
Under normal circumstances, the only possibility for the two to meet again would be a conflict between his pirate crew and the Marines. The scene where he and Sengoku met should have been a battlefield. Instead, they were sitting in comfortable chairs, watching a great battle between the strong of two worlds.
Spectator candidates reset.
The Third World War was about to start. The first round: Power Plundering!
As the first player, the Pirate World would invade the Ninja World to plunder the One Tail Shukaku. Afterward, the Ninja World would act as the counter-attacker, entering the Pirate World to plunder a specific power.
[Announcement: Ninja World — One Tail Shukaku Information]
Suddenly, the image on the screen changed.
It immediately attracted everyone's attention. Since new people had arrived in the stands, the selected spectators quickly calmed down and began to concentrate on the picture.
On the screen, the figure of the One Tail Shukaku appeared.
When its massive body first appeared, it didn't surprise the people of the Pirate World too much. Some even looked at it with disdain.
"It's just some kind of huge creature similar to a Sea King! What's the point of snatching a creature like that..."
Before the man could finish speaking, Shukaku suddenly opened its mouth.
Boom!
A round of Wind Style: Drilling Air Bullet.
The sudden eruption instantly flattened a small hill.
A large group of Sand Shinobi were besieging the One Tail, but in front of Shukaku, these ninjas couldn't stir up any waves.
Although its size wasn't surprising, this was a Tailed Beast. It possessed terrifying chakra. Compared to the giant beasts in the Pirate World, its strength and defense were on a completely different level.
All of a sudden, flames burst out. Sunagakure was being horribly devastated.
People in the Pirate World dropped their jaws in disbelief.
"What kind of creature is this? The storm spewing out of its mouth... it's so strong..."
"It's like a monster that ate some kind of Devil Fruit! So powerful!"
"But even if it is strong, is there any use in snatching a creature like this?"
Zizizi...
Suddenly, the One Tail seemed impatient with the ninja attacks and roared.
It opened its mouth. A Tailed Beast Bomb began to condense.
This scene!
Countless people were reminded of the technique used by the red Nine Tails monster when watching the battle between Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju.
"This is... that technique..."
Sengoku was a little excited.
The Tailed Beast Bomb condensed, terrifying energy compressing crazily. Finally, a purple-black sphere formed, which Shukaku swallowed in one gulp.
And then!
A terrifying energy shockwave erupted from its mouth.
Boom!
The air shook violently, ripples spreading from the Tailed Beast's mouth one after another.
Sunagakure, shrouded in night, was instantly illuminated.
Immediately afterward, a bright, blinding light erupted in the distance, followed three seconds later by a terrifying roar like thunder.
Boom... Buzz...
