"..."
The Sky People and the land dwellers fell silent.
Cold sweat trickled down every forehead.
No...
Using people as prey...
The Heavenly Celestial Dragon definitely doesn't sound like a good thing...
But...
The revenge methods of your pirate group are somewhat terrifying too!
Both the land dwellers and the Sky People shivered in fear, yet when they looked at the sincere Senju Hashirama in front of them, they couldn't sense any malice...
"Hey, get lost quickly, or I'll kill you!"
A crimson flash appeared in Uchiha Madara's eyes.
These ordinary people had all seen Enel, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit user, letting them leave here was already a mercy to them, how dare they dawdle here?
As a Ninja...
Silencing for intelligence has long been commonplace.
Uchiha Madara, for the sake of executing his mission, did not care how many people he killed!
"Madara!"
Senju Hashirama hurriedly stopped his friend and, once again bowing deeply, pleaded loudly: "I beg you to leave this Sky Island, I really don't want to kill you!"
"..."
The expressions of the Sky People and land dwellers turned peculiar simultaneously.
Wait...
This Captain of yours is a bit weird!
Do you want to listen to what you're saying?
Nevertheless, under the sincere plea of Senju Hashirama and the threats of the dangerous Uchiha Madara, both the Sky People and land dwellers could only relocate from this Sky Island.
Coincidentally...
There was a giant python named the Lord of the Sky on this Sky Island.
This python liked humans very much, and after communicating with Orochimaru, voluntarily carried everyone on its back and moved, swimming through the clouds.
Once all the Sky People and land dwellers had relocated from this Sky Island, the Konoha Pirates finally began their arrangements on Apayado.
They set up numerous Recording Radio Snails throughout Apayado and released the captured Heavenly Celestial Dragons on the island.
Except for those slaves left at the Shampodi Archipelago auction house, killed casually along the way by Uchiha Madara, used up for their experiments, the remaining Heavenly Celestial Dragons were all here...
Approximately...
Less than a thousand remain.
These are the prey of the hunting game.
Since it is a game, there must be rewards.
The Konoha Pirates located a Poneglyph, a gigantic Golden Bell, and a heap of gold on the island of Apayado.
"Let's use this as the reward…"
Asura Path: Sasori stood beneath the Poneglyph's stone monument, gazing at the inscription he couldn't understand: "Whoever wins this game shall receive the information on the Ancient Weapon Sea King…"
"As for the start time of the game…"
"Let it begin when the Golden Bell is rung…"
"When the Golden Bell of this Land of Gold resonates high in the clouds, it marks the hunting game's start, and at that moment, activate all the Recording Radio Snails…"
"When shall it be rung?"
Senju Hashirama looked at the Golden Bell in front, couldn't help but raise his fist, covered with potent Haki and Chakra: "Do I need to ring it now?"
"No need…"
A flicker passed through Sasori's eyes.
This group certainly shares the same trait, wanting to tamper with everything new and interesting they encounter? Wanting to ring a bell upon seeing one?
"Hey, Akihara Kagura, can I participate?"
Uchiha Madara looked at Sasori, his eyes flashed with a battle spirit: "I heard many mighty fellows will participate in this game…"
"Certainly."
Asura Path: Sasori casually waved his hand, then continued: "Though, best to be cautious, don't injure me, since my true self is about to become a Navy Admiral endowed with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, establishing the main stage for displaying the abilities of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit here on the Sky Island…"
"Is that so?"
Orochimaru glanced towards the direction of the Golden Ark Proverbs: "Seems like we have to imprison Enel-san for a long time…"
"Watch him carefully, but don't go too far."
"Once a Devil Fruit User dies…"
"Enel's ability will transform into a fresh Devil Fruit…"
Asura Path: Sasori nodded, his gaze also fell on the Golden Ark, adding: "Before I become Navy Admiral, don't let your new test subject emerge, absolutely cannot let him die, submerse him continuously in seawater to prevent anyone from using Observation Haki to discover he can use the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's abilities…"
