Chapter 149: Unequal Time Flow, Rebellion in the Land of Harmony!
"Hmm? Uchiha Sasuke is first? The one who fought with Mr. Naruto's brother?
That doesn't seem right... Why is the seventh-ranked person also named Sasuke?
And what do the parentheses with 'Native' and 'World 1' mean?"
Kaido stared, perplexed, and asked.
Jin beside him was equally confused.
"My name is Windstorm Naruto, and my brother is Mizukage Naruto. The one who just fought with Mizukage Naruto is Sasuke, ranked seventh."
"World 1, and 'Native' is to distinguish between different worlds, of course."
"Kaido, since you managed to come to my world, then... people from other worlds can naturally do the same."
"And World 1 is another parallel world similar to ours."
"Is that clear now?" Empire Naruto explained.
"Hmm... I don't quite understand," Kaido scratched his head, looking dazed.
Seeing this, Empire Naruto patiently explained, and after a quarter of an hour, Kaido and Jin finally showed signs of understanding.
"I get it now!
But Mr. Naruto is truly powerful, ranking second among all the worlds! It seems his previous claim of being within the top five was indeed an act of humility."
Kaido praised.
"Second? I wouldn't go that far.
Whether it's Might Guy in third place or Rikudo Sage in fourth, we've all had our wins and losses against each other.
As for Sasuke in first, it's just that he's sparred with more people, I wouldn't dare call myself the second strongest."
Empire Naruto shook his head.
"Is that so? So, Mr. Naruto is also within the top four, why did you say fifth before?"
"His Majesty is undoubtedly the strongest.
This ranking doesn't include His Majesty.
Everyone else is ranked from the second place onwards."
"I see."
Kaido finally understood.
He continued reading down the list but couldn't find Flagpole Trash East or Zhihuo in the top 100!
Those two brats, despite their strength, were indeed insignificant in the Empire.
There were too many powerful individuals!
Kaido felt an unparalleled sense of crisis and an urgent need to become stronger.
"Mr. Naruto, I want to start training with you right now!" he said earnestly.
"Of course, I was planning to take you for training; we just happened to pass by here," Empire Naruto smiled.
The group quickly left the underground arena.
They arrived in a spacious area.
Here, a man with a ponytail was teaching a group of children.
Empire Naruto led Kaido and Jin to the man and said, "Teacher Iruka, this is Kaido, and the other is Jin, both guests from another world.
I'd like you to teach them the basics of Chakra and martial arts."
"Leave it to me, Naruto-sama!" Empire Iruka patted his chest.
He then turned to the towering Kaido and Jin, extending his hand, "Students, please treat me well in the future."
"Teacher Iruka, right? I look forward to learning from you," Kaido said, grinning and offering his large hand.
One month later.
In the wastelands outside the Empire.
A loud roar echoed:
"Fire Style: Great Flame Annihilation!"
Jin, clad in black armor with only a helmet opening, unleashed a torrent of flames from his mouth.
The flames on his back burned fiercely.
Gathering all his strength.
The terrifying flames covered the area several kilometers ahead, scorching the land and forming layers of crystal-like structures.
After performing this Jutsu.
Jin shouted again, "Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
A hundred-meter-long water dragon rose from the ground.
"Lightning Style: Thunder Tiger Thousand Slaughter!"
Jin's body erupted with lightning, transforming into dozens of lightning-shaped tigers that roared and charged across the ground.
"Not done yet! Earth Style: Earth Land Return!"
The ground shook as earthen walls rose from the earth.
Only then.
Jin slowly exhaled, revealing a satisfied smile.
Clap, clap, clap...
Beside him, applause sounded.
Empire Iruka's gentle voice rang out:
"Well done, Jin.
You're a genius. In just one month, you've perfectly grasped the power of the Chakra system. I'm proud of you."
"Rumble, rumble... Teacher Iruka, don't rush to praise Jin! Now, it's my turn! Fire Style: Great Flame Dragon Technique!"
A hundred-meter-long blue-scaled dragon opened its mouth, spewing intense sparks. A fire dragon head, dozens of meters in diameter, shot out, and upon contact with the ground, it expanded to a hundred-meter scale, blasting the earth into a vast pit of crystal craters.
"Lightning Style: Kirin!"
The blue-scaled dragon roared once more, its body spinning and radiating lightning as it transformed into a thunder beast over two hundred meters in diameter, descending from above.
"And finally... Spiral Dragon Orb!"
Chaotic energy condensed, forming a massive sphere with layers of black lightning that erupted from its mouth, landing over a hundred kilometers away.
A deafening boom reverberated.
A colossal mushroom cloud soared into the sky, reaching a height of several kilometers, and everything within a few dozen kilometers was obliterated.
When the smoke cleared, a terrifying crater, hundreds of meters deep and several kilometers wide, marred the landscape.
"Roooar..." The blue dragon in the sky roared with laughter at the sight of the crater.
"Impressive, Kaido. You and Jin are both geniuses among geniuses. Even in the Empire, you'd rank among the top."
Empire Iruka praised, but his eyes also held a hint of helplessness as he gazed at the distant crater.
"Roooar... It's hard to witness the growth of our power in an underground metal room. Only in the vast outdoors can Jin and I truly comprehend our transformation."
Kaido's massive dragon body slowly descended, transforming back into his human form as he laughed heartily.
Due to their innate strength and fire-based abilities, both Kaido and Jin had made rapid progress in learning Chakra Ninjutsu and martial arts.
Within a month, they had participated in the Empire Martial Arts Ladder Ranking battles.
Despite the short time, they had achieved impressive results.
Kaido, for instance, had already entered the top hundred.
Empire Naruto believed that with more time, Kaido could easily break into the top thirty.
Kaido was extremely pleased with this evaluation.
As for Jin, his current strength hovered around the hundredth rank, surpassing the previous Flagpole Trash East and Zhihuo.
Their rapid progress caught the attention of the Empire's upper echelon, who began to see the potential of humans from the pirate world.
"Kaido, Jin! You two have graduated! You can now return to your world."
Empire Naruto smiled with relief as he patted the backs of the two.
"Go back? I must admit, I'm reluctant to part with you, Teacher Naruto and Teacher Iruka.
The taste of growing stronger is captivating.
It's been over a decade since I last felt this way."
Kaido spoke.
"Hahaha... The path of martial arts and ninjutsu is endless.
Kaido, Jin, if you continue to practice diligently after returning, you can still become even stronger."
Empire Naruto said.
"Roooar... We will! We'll keep getting stronger! And then... we'll break into the top ten of the ladder!"
Kaido nodded earnestly, his eyes gleaming.
After a month of training in the Empire, he had fully immersed himself in its martial arts culture, and he found himself deeply enamored with it.
This experience sparked certain thoughts in his mind.
"As you grow stronger, don't forget to teach others about martial arts and Chakra cultivation."
"Of course, we won't be selfish.
We'll enhance the strength of all Beast Pirates members, starting with the Land of Harmony, and conquer the entire world. Then, together with the Empire, we'll confront the Great Tree Clan!
This mission will forever be etched in our hearts!"
Kaido replied.
"Good, our enemy is the Great Tree Clan!"
Empire Naruto's expression turned slightly serious, but he quickly smiled again and said,
"Of course, aside from that, it would be best if you could provide us with some Devil Fruits for our research."
"Hahaha... Rest assured, Teacher Naruto!
The Beast Pirates may not have much, but we have an abundance of Animal-type Devil Fruits.
Once I return, I'll immediately send a batch to you, Teacher Naruto."
Kaido laughed heartily.
"Hahaha! Thank you, Kaido.
But opening a space-time wormhole is no simple task.
Even with the Empire's current technology, it takes a month to stabilize it. In your world, it would require at least four to six months. So, after you return, you might need to pay attention to the location of the Time-Space Vortex."
Empire Naruto added.
Kaido and Jin were both shocked, their faces filled with surprise.
Jin spoke up, "Teacher Naruto... What did you mean by that? Does time flow differently in this world compared to ours?"
In just a month since we arrived here, at least four to six months have passed in our world?"
"That's right. Time flows differently in different worlds, didn't I tell you before? Oh... I guess I didn't, I forgot!"
Imperator Naruto's eyes widened as she spoke, and she scratched her head, feeling a bit embarrassed.
Kaido and Jin exchanged glances, both looking troubled.
"This is bad... I didn't realize we've been away from the Land of Harmony for so long... I wonder if something has gone wrong."
"What? Is there trouble on your side?" Imperator Naruto asked.
"I'm sorry, but I think we need to return immediately."
"Our Beast Pirates have occupied the Land of Harmony for many years, but there are still many rebels among them. After our long absence, those guys probably can't sit still any longer..." Jin explained, glancing at Kaido with a sidelong look.
Kaido stood to the side, stroking his club and gritting his teeth, muttering under his breath.
Imperator Naruto's expression turned understanding: "I understand, I'll send you back right away."
---
In the world of pirates.
Five months after Kaido's disappearance.
Land of Harmony.
In a desolate wasteland.
A shrill shout rang out: "You bastards of the Beast Pirates! Get out of the Land of Harmony! This is my territory, Kikuzuki Akada's land to protect! Thunder Roar: Bagua!"
A woman dressed in a kimono, with white flame clouds swirling behind her, white skin, red double horns, and a blue-white tail, smashed a mammoth with a single strike of her staff.
"Follow Lord Yamato! Drive out the Beast Pirates! Protect our country!" shouted a small, elderly man as he forced back a tall woman with a spider's lower body with a single sword strike.
"Everyone, follow Heibei Goro! Take back our Land of Harmony! Drive out the Beast Pirates! Defeat Black Charcoal Snake!" shouted the other samurai.
Their voices were powerful and awe-inspiring.
"Damn it! If Kaido were still here, how could this have happened? Yamato, you little traitor! Are you really going to betray Kaido like this?" Kuien, transformed into a yellow brontosaurus, swung his sword at Yamato.
Yamato countered with another Thunder Roar: Bagua, sending Kuien flying hundreds of meters away.
"I've said it before! I am Kikuzuki Akada! I will protect my country and my people! All of you from the Beast Pirates, get out of here!" Yamato roared.
"Ice Fang: Wushi!" Yamato opened her mouth, releasing a terrifying cold air that froze a large group of Beast Pirates and Black Charcoal Snake's men on the spot.
"You damn traitor! When Kaido returns, he'll teach you a lesson!" Kuien shouted in anger.
He looked around, observing the intense battle, his head spinning with worry.
Five months after Kaido and Jin's disappearance.
At first, things were fine, but as the two never reappeared, chaos ensued in the Land of Harmony!
For some unknown reason, Heibei Goro, who had been imprisoned, was rescued, and he gathered a group of samurai to join forces with Yamato.
Then, someone mysteriously unlocked Yamato's handcuffs and leg irons, and the battle erupted! Kuien didn't initially mind, as even without Kaido and Jin, the Beast Pirates still had two powerful commanders and several strong fighters.
Not to mention the numerous pirates.
This force was formidable, even by outside standards.
But as the battle began, Kuien realized his mistake! And it was a huge one!
Yamato, Kaido's daughter, had an incredibly exaggerated strength.
He hadn't faced her before.
Now, even with Jack's help, they were being brutally beaten by her.
Her strength... had far surpassed that of Jin.
Not only could they not defeat Yamato, but she also had the leisure to attack others.
Although they wouldn't be defeated in a short time.
But if this continued.
The Land of Harmony would eventually be in trouble!
At this very moment, Luffy's battle with the Beast Pirates was still three years and almost four months away.
Many characters had yet to join the Beast Pirates, and there were still many strong individuals whose strength had not yet reached their peak.
This was why the current situation was so awkward.
"Kaido will never return! If you're afraid, then leave!" Yamato roared, raising her club and smashing another person away.
No one could stand before her for long.
"Damn it! How can Kaido's daughter be so strong!
Quick! Stop her! Are we really going to lose to this woman and those fools?"
Black Charcoal Snake, transformed into an eight-headed giant snake, roared in frustration.
