Naruto's Journey to Training

The death of the Golden Lion once again caused a small storm on the sea.

After all, they are the great pirates of the old era. In this era, the pirates are more concerned about the great pirates such as Kaido and Whitebeard who are now fiercely competing for the position of Emperor of the Sea.

What's more, the empire has done so many major events now that the whole world has begun to become a little numb.

Pluto Rayleigh stayed in the Empire headquarters for a while, and Yu did not make things difficult for him. Instead, after finding out all the main texts of world history, he let him return to the people of Shampoo.

I guess after experiencing all these things, he wouldn't dare to cause trouble in the empire again.

Time passed quickly, winter turned to spring, and three years had passed since the empire came to this world.

During these three years, the empire did not expand rapidly, but instead gradually expanded its influence in a steady manner.

Almost every time an empire expands a piece of territory, it will first develop for a period of time, and only after it is stabilized will it start the next expansion.

The territories actually occupied by the Empire today include the West Sea and the North Sea, as well as almost all the islands in the first half of the Grand Line. The Empire's power is approaching that of Wano Country in the New World.

This made the Beasts Pirates, who were still occupying Wano Country, very uneasy.

Moreover, the empire has been constantly squeezing the pirates' living space over the years, which has led to the pirates now having a feeling of having no successors.

There are fewer and fewer supernovas appearing, and each generation is getting worse than the previous one.

On the contrary, the adventure groups established by the empire are now popular throughout the entire sea. Countless men who yearn for freedom have entered the Adventure Guild, registered as adventurers, and established adventure groups that are famous throughout the sea.

This made the increasingly weak pirates even more irritable.

The pirates that used to roam the sea are no longer seen. Only adventurers under various banners travel across the sea.

Moreover, these pirates have become the targets of these adventurers. Pirates have now completely become a despicable profession.

The name of freedom that they originally used is no longer effective, because the desire for freedom and the desire for great adventures are the slogans of those outstanding adventurers who are like stars.

This feeling of being hated by everyone made the pirates feel very uncomfortable, even though their reputation was not necessarily very good in the past.

But the name of pirate can at least make people afraid. It can also inspire those young people who yearn for freedom. They say they are pirates with a bit of pride on their faces.

But now, their pride is gone, and they have become the targets of adventurers. There are even many adventurers who specifically target them, hoping to use their names to enhance the reputation of their own adventure groups and improve their adventure levels.

Just abominable.

Today, all the pirates in the ocean have been squeezed into the second half of the Grand Line. Not only is the competition fierce, but the Empire is also watching covetously.

Fortunately, the four emperors on the sea have become increasingly clear, including the emerging Red-Haired Shanks, Kaido of the Beast Pirates, Charlotte Linlin of Cake Island, and the world's strongest man Whitebeard Edward Newgate.

These powerful men gave the pirates hope of resisting the empire.

However, it is just a hope. After all, the empire is now in its heyday. The navy that often opposes them, and the Adventurer's Guild, these two affiliated organizations of the empire, are not something that the Four Emperors alone can fight against.

Not to mention the Empire also has the Secret Service, and the Captain of the 12th Division who is at the top of the Empire, and the Emperor who is like a god.

Facing the Empire, all the pirates felt that it was an insurmountable mountain. If they were not used to freedom, they would not want to go against this behemoth, the Empire.

New world.

On the sparkling sea, a large ship with white sails hoisted was sailing on the sea. A flag embroidered with a golden nine-tailed fox was fluttering on the top of the sail.

The sea was calm and the sunshine was beautiful. The originally empty sea suddenly had many cherry blossoms floating in from nowhere.

"It's so beautiful!" Sakura stood on the boat and looked at the sea covered with cherry blossoms, and couldn't help but fantasize in her mind.

How nice it would be if it was just her and Sasuke at this moment.

Thinking of this, Sakura couldn't help but look back sadly, and saw Naruto, Sasuke, Hinata, Inoboar, Shikamaru, Choji, and Neji sitting together playing poker.

If she didn't want to maintain her image as a good student, she would have wanted to join.

However, the group quickly put down the cards in their hands, stood up and stared blankly at this dreamlike scene.

"I didn't expect this to be the new world! Naruto, it's really beautiful!"

Naruto nodded blankly. This time, they took advantage of the break from school to form an adventure group to experience the scenery of the new world.

After all, they are almost at graduation age, and they may never have this kind of leisure time again in the future.

So Naruto and Sasuke discussed it together, gathered together the classmates they had met over the years, and decided to have a grand adventure before graduation.

Sasuke stretched out a hand and caught a falling cherry blossom. Suddenly his brows slightly frowned, "Naruto, there's something wrong with these cherry blossoms!"

After saying that, Sasuke activated his Sharingan and looked in the direction where the cherry blossoms were floating.

Then I saw an island full of cherry blossom trees appear in the distance.

When Hinata heard Sasuke's reminder, she immediately opened her Byakugan and used a repulsive force to bounce the cherry blossoms away.

When everyone came to their senses, they found that large patches of red rashes appeared on their bodies where the cherry blossoms had just passed.

"Damn it, what kind of cherry blossom is this? It's actually poisonous!"

Shikamaru couldn't help but curse, and after he finished cursing he felt weak all over.

Seeing this, Naruto hurriedly took out an antidote pill and gave it to Shikamaru to take. At this time, other people also showed the same symptoms, but fortunately they were well prepared this time.

Everyone had quite a few detoxification pills on them, and it took a long while before Shikamaru woke up slowly.

"This world is full of strange situations like this, so everyone should pay more attention to it!" Naruto said solemnly.

Everyone nodded in agreement when they heard Naruto's words. They had witnessed many miracles during this period of time.

The upside-down mountain that goes upstream, the golden kingdom floating in the air, and now the poisonous cherry blossoms entering the new world, these things all opened their eyes.

Suddenly, the expressions of Sasuke and Hinata, who were observing the situation, froze.

"Naruto there's a ship heading our direction fast!"

Hinata warned.

"Are they other adventurers?" Naruto asked curiously.

"No! It's a pirate!" Sasuke responded coldly.

At the same time, on the sea dozens of miles away, a large sailing ship flying a pirate flag was sailing at full speed.

On the deck, many pirates were wearing strange masks and covered in dark cloaks, completely isolating themselves from the outside world. They were walking back and forth on the deck with buckets in their hands, washing the cherry blossoms that had fallen on the deck of the ship.

"Captain John, we have arrived near the Sea of ​​Death Cherry Blossoms! We should be not far from the Land of Cherry Blossoms!"

"Keep the speed and keep moving forward!" John, who was standing at the front of the deck, looked into the distance and ordered.

"Yes! Captain!"

Many pirates responded in unison, looking at the figure standing in front of them with awe in their eyes.

Their captain is one of the legendary figures on the sea. The former World Government offered a bounty of more than 21 Baileys on him. He was once a member of the Rocks Pirates and served under Rocks along with Whitebeard, Kaido, Golden Lion and others.

Although the Rocks Pirates have fallen apart now, all the crew members who were once on that ship are now famous and powerful figures who can intimidate the entire ocean.

Just as the pirate ship was speeding forward, the pirate standing in the watchtower suddenly shouted downwards.

"Captain! At two o'clock, there is a large ship flying the adventurer's flag, passing through our channel."

After hearing the report from his men, John picked up the telescope hanging on his chest, looked over, and quickly put it down.

"Haha, this is the adventurer thing that the Empire created! They don't know that there is no room for adventurers like them to survive in the New World now. In this case, just get rid of it before going to see Whitebeard!"

"Chase them! Take away everything on their ship!"

John gave the order without hesitation. Faced with the pressure from the empire, the pirates had no choice but to unite with each other. According to the information sent back by his men, Whitebeard might be on Sakura Island.

He intended to achieve closer cooperation with Whitebeard, his former companion.
