Chapter 155: Spreading Ninjutsu, Chaos in the Vast Sea

Chapter 155: Spreading Ninjutsu, Chaos in the Vast Sea

"This is Ninjutsu... Those who master it can wield the powers of wind, lightning, water, fire, and earth... And if one controls the power of water, they become a formidable foe against all ability users."

"Ability users... They can hardly defeat those who master Ninjutsu... Ugh... Cough, cough, cough..."

Robin's explanation was cut short as the floodwater rushed into her mouth, causing her to cough repeatedly.

"Damn it! Why can you use so many abilities? Who exactly are you?"

Enel couldn't hold back his surprise, flying above the floodwaters with a look of panic on his face.

"Shadow Illusion - Thousand Head Bind!"

Ninja World Shikamaru didn't respond, but the earth wall beneath him and his own shadow transformed into thousands of shadows, shooting towards Enel.

Instinctively, Enel attempted to use Element Plating to evade.

However, the moment these shadows touched him, they immobilized him in mid-air, leaving him unable to move.

"Damn it! A god would never lose like this!"

He roared, unleashing a barrage of lightning once again.

From above, a detached voice sounded:

"Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

The water dragon plummeted from the sky, engulfing Enel in the floodwaters...

A while later.

Soaked and exhausted, Enel lay on the ground, gazing at the two dozen or so figures slowly descending from the earth wall. He muttered,

"Damn... Damn... Damn... How... How could I lose to you guys... I'm a god... A god..."

He tried to activate his abilities again, but being submerged in water rendered him powerless.

"Hey! Wasn't this outcome inevitable? You're just a Thunder God who controls lightning.

But we, we are gods who command shadows, earth, floods, and lightning.

It's strange that we, with our multitude of abilities, couldn't defeat you."

Kiba taunted.

Enel fell silent for a moment, then said,

"You're right... Your divine power surpasses mine... So, you are the gods here..."

"What? Are you conceding defeat?

Are you ready to give up the Sky Island? Unfortunately, our goal has always been you, Enel, not the island."

Kiba narrowed his eyes.

"What... What do you want from me?" Enel wondered anxiously.

"The Thunder Clap Fruit is a formidable Devil Fruit. It would be a waste to let you squander it like this."

Shikamaru spoke, and the shadows behind him transformed into a giant hand, lifting Enel up.

Holding Robin, Zoro, and Nami, Sanji looked flustered and said,

"Enel lost... Lost... Such a powerful guy, yet he was defeated so easily... These Beast Pirates are terrifying.

Robin, Zoro, I think we must hide."

He hugged the two of them and moved towards a house that had been flooded.

But before he could get halfway there,

A voice called out,

"Hey, you orange-haired lady over there, don't be so afraid of us. Do we look that scary?"

"Yikes! We've been spotted!"

Nami shrieked, her hair standing on end. She turned around stiffly, managing a sheepish smile,

"Ah... Haha... Hello...

I... I just got soaked, that's all..."

"Hey, pretty lady, don't judge us by our strange appearances or our affiliation with the Beast Pirates. Most of us are good people!"

Kiba grinned at Nami, causing her legs to tremble.

"Good... Good people... Of course, I believe you're good people," Nami stammered.

"Hahaha... You're an interesting girl. Can you do us a favor?"

Kiba laughed.

"Y-You... Just ask," Nami replied.

"Gather as many people from this island as you can. We have something to announce."

"Huh? Oh, okay..."

Nami agreed and was about to leave with Zoro and Robin.

"Lady, leave the two beside you here. I didn't say you could take them with you," Kiba said.

"Oh..."

Nami responded and looked at Zoro and Robin.

"Go ahead, Nami. We'll be fine," Robin said, forcing a smile.

Only then did Nami leave.

Shikamaru and the others waited for several hours.

Gradually, people from all over the Sky Island arrived, filling the area around them.

At least a thousand people had gathered.

Luffy, Sanji, Usopp, and the others had also arrived. They looked at Robin and Zoro, who were with Shikamaru and the others, their faces filled with worry.

"Zoro! Robin! Are you okay?"

"Damn it! If you dare harm Robin, I'll beat you up!"

Luffy and Sanji shouted.

Rushing towards the direction of Shikamaru and the others.

Nami quickly punched both of them on the head, "Idiots! Didn't I tell you? These guys defeated Enel's monsters! Do you think you can beat them?"

The two cried out in pain, looking at Nami with a slight hint of grievance, and calmed down a little.

"Haha! You're just like that Naruto guy, equally impulsive and stupid."

Kiba looked at Luffy and muttered, seeing the young Shinobi Naruto in him.

"All of you from the Beast Pirates, you asked Nami to gather the residents of Sky Island, and now they've mostly arrived... can you tell us, what exactly do you want to do?"

Robin spoke up at this moment.

The Divine Empire's attention was refocused.

Shikamaru yawned and smiled, "What do we want to do? It's simple."

As he finished speaking, he started continuously spewing fire, lightning, storms, water columns, and earth cannons into the sky, leaving everyone dumbfounded.

"This... what kind of power is this? Why... why can someone use this kind of power?"

"Is this guy the real god?"

"So powerful..." Luffy exclaimed with wide eyes.

Sanji sucked the cigarette from his mouth, "I thought... Devil Fruit abilities can only be one type?"

"Do you want this power?"

Shikamaru smiled and asked, seeing the expressions on everyone's faces.

Robin's body trembled, and she said in disbelief, "What did you say?"

"I said, do you want this power? If you want it... I can send someone to teach you," Shikamaru said.

"What? Teach us this power?"

"Is this for real? Can this power be taught?"

"If we learn it, won't we become even stronger than Enel?"

"If we learn it, won't we become like gods too?"

The residents of Sky Island were all excited.

"No... it's not possible, right? We don't even know you, why would you want to teach us?"

Nami was perplexed.

She couldn't imagine that this Pineapple Head in front of her had asked her to gather people for this reason.

This... is too good, right? Not only helping to defeat Enel but also teaching them powerful abilities? Sanji and Zoro's eyes sparkled.

Luffy shouted with joy, "Teach us to use such powerful abilities? You guys... are really good people!"

"No... it's impossible! In this world, there's never a free lunch without a reason. What's your true intention? Why do you want to teach us this ability?

This ability is definitely precious." Robin shook her head repeatedly.

"Why? If I must say, this world... is too boring." Shikamaru said.

"Too... boring?"

"That's right. Besides Haoshoku Haki and Devil Fruit abilities, there aren't any other powers, and the world's structure is thus solidified.

I wish... for a change in the world's structure.

It requires a lot of external forces and unexpected powers.

So, you should understand now, right?" Shikamaru explained.

"I see..." Robin had a moment of realization, "I've heard that the Beast Pirates are a group of fearless people... and now it seems to be true..."

After that.

Shikamaru left one person behind to teach the residents of Sky Island and the Straw Hat Pirates.

He then left with Enel.

On the way back, he would often appear in front of people and then leave someone behind to teach the crowd Ninjutsu.

Time passed slowly.

The news from the first half of the Grand Line quickly spread.

More and more people who heard about this gathered.

No one could refuse this extraordinary power that surpassed all others!

At the same time.

Marine Headquarters, Marinford.

In the high-level conference room.

Shogunate sat in the main seat, looking at the people beside him with a serious expression, "You should all know about this matter, right? Any thoughts?"

"What thoughts? Isn't this great? Haha!

Once everyone becomes stronger, they'll be able to defend against pirates! Haha!"

Garp stuffed a donut into his mouth and laughed.

"Garp! You idiot, even at this time, you're still talking nonsense? Power has always been the source of chaos since ancient times!

Ordinary people and pirates alike will possess it!" Shogunate roared at Garp's ridiculous behavior.

"Ahahaha... but the matter has already happened, so think positively, Shogunate.

Garp let out a hearty laugh.

"Damn it! This new power should have been under our Navy's control, but someone took advantage of our unpreparedness and shared this power. Now, our task of suppressing pirates will become even more challenging. I propose that we immediately send people to arrest all those who spread ninjutsu!" Sakazuki pounded his fist on the long table and roared.

"This was probably planned long ago... But no one expected it to happen so soon. Everything was under control, who would've thought someone would dare to do such a thing," Admiral Kaku sighed.

"The Beast Pirates are truly fearsome..." Admiral Aokiji spread his hands.

"What are those guys trying to achieve by doing this? Are they trying to cause us trouble?" Admiral Akainu frowned.

"The more pressing issue now is that ninjutsu has spread from the Beast Pirates. Over a year and a half ago, the Beast Pirates quietly sealed off the Onigashima route... It seems they were learning this new power, and if my guess is correct, the entire Beast Pirates crew has learned ninjutsu and recruited a large number of people to learn it as well," Admiral Kaku added.

The room fell silent as everyone's expressions changed.

"That madman Kaido! What benefit does this bring him?" Akainu clenched his teeth in anger.

"That lunatic has always been one who thrives on chaos," Sengoku sighed.

"Originally, the power of ninjutsu was only passed down among those of the rank of Rear Admiral and above... But now, it seems we must change our strategy and let more people learn it, or the Navy will struggle to contain the unrest on the high seas," Admiral Kaku said.

"That's the only way..."

As the high-level meeting concluded, the practice of ninjutsu began to spread within the Navy.

One month later, on Punk Hazard Island, at the Artificial Devil Fruit Factory, Monet knelt on one knee, her body enveloped in a layer of water, looking displeased.

Beside her, Ninja World Shikamaru gazed at her lazily and said, "Now, this place is under our control. If you want to resist, just defeat us, and we'll leave."

"Damn you! Aren't you afraid of Donquixote Doflamingo's revenge?" Monet asked.

"Doflamingo? In front of our teacher, Kaido, that guy is nothing! If Shikamaru-sama says to take over, then we will. If you dare to resist, come and try!" a Beast Pirates underling roared.

"That's right! The Donquixote Family is nothing compared to us. Behave yourselves if you don't want to be destroyed!" another underling joined in.

Monet's expression darkened, but she didn't dare to speak further. The name 'Beast Pirates' and 'Kaido' were enough to strike fear into anyone.

Moreover, she knew that Jin had single-handedly invaded Dressrosa and easily defeated a group of executives, including Doflamingo. So, the Beast Pirates were not someone they could provoke.

After a quarter of an hour, in a luxurious private room, Caesar Clown bowed and said, "If you gentlemen have no further business, I will take my leave."

"Wait, Caesar Clown, the chief research scientist of the Artificial Devil Fruit. You don't need to be so respectful towards us. We always treat capable people with generosity and try to help them fulfill their wishes. Caesar Clown, tell us your wish," Shikamaru called out to Caesar, who was about to leave.

"My wish?"

"Yes, speak up. You're different from the others."

Caesar hesitated for a moment before saying, "I want to create large-scale weapons of mass destruction and then... admire their power."

"Is that all?"

"Um... yes."

"No problem. Once the Artificial Devil Fruit is stabilized, you can work on that."

Shikamaru nodded and watched Caesar leave.

"You bastards! What are you trying to do by locking me up here?" Enel shouted from the side.

"Quiet down, you'll find out soon enough," Shikamaru smiled slightly.

A month passed. Enel's chest was pierced by shadows, and he looked at Shikamaru in pain, disbelief, and distortion. "You've captured me for so long... just to... just to kill me? If that was your intention, why didn't you kill me from the start?"

Enel couldn't understand.

"Why? Of course, it's because a crucial technique hadn't been researched yet. But now... it's different," Shikamaru smiled.
