Chapter 146: Defeat in the Fourth World War
Although they hadn't known each other long, Whitebeard didn't think Yuichi was the type to get carried away by arrogance. Even if he had pride in his bones, he would still be 100% serious when dealing with an enemy.
Giving up an opportunity like this to learn about the enemy's capabilities? In Whitebeard's eyes, this behavior was completely out of character for Yuichi.
Unless...
Unless this kid already knows the abilities of these ninjas very well!
But there were so many ninjas. Even if a few had appeared before, many were new faces. Even those ninjas with A-class combat power were worthy of attention in Whitebeard's view. Specifically, the Ino-Shika-Chō trio. They had never appeared in the previous World War. Wasn't Yuichi curious about their abilities?
Whitebeard watched Yuichi return to the cabin. When his back disappeared, Whitebeard slowly retracted his gaze, deep in thought.
On the light curtain, the four Marine leaders had already engaged the enemy. What they encountered was not a single opponent, but groups of ninjas.
Initially, Akainu and the others obviously did not take these so-called ninjas seriously. After all, they were ranked only as A-class or B-class combat power. In an Admiral's eyes, they weren't worth paying attention to. Even Gion (Momousagi) didn't seem to care too much.
But when the ninjas attacked, everyone was stunned.
These united ninjas used compound ninjutsu to attack the Admirals. Although they lacked S-class individual power, under the leadership of their Jōnin, the power of their combined ninjutsu could not be underestimated. Under successive waves of attacks, the Admirals seemed unable to parry effectively. They were temporarily suppressed.
This was especially true for the Ino-Shika-Chō trio fighting against Admiral Akainu.
Choza Akimichi activated the Expansion Jutsu, cooperating with Shikaku Nara's Shadow Possession Jutsu, while Inoichi Yamanaka provided sensory support and telepathic coordination.
Every move Akainu made was locked down with ease. Even the strongest Marine Admiral could not stand against the perfect combination of the three.
Then, Kakashi rushed to the battlefield to coordinate with them. Although Kakashi hadn't mastered every one of the thousand jutsu he copied, he had enough versatility to deal with Akainu.
Kakashi used Earth Style to manipulate the terrain and seize the opportunity to control Akainu's movements, followed immediately by a Water Style burst. Under the cooperation of Water Style and Lightning Style, a wave of dazzling attacks was launched.
Akainu was paralyzed by the Lightning Style chakra. Just as Kakashi cast Lightning Blade (Raikiri), Akainu managed to shake off the paralysis at the critical moment and barely dodged.
It was a thrilling scene. Countless civilians in the Pirate World gasped. With the cooperation of these ninjas, even an Admiral seemed unable to fight back.
Kakashi used a Lightning Clone to lure Akainu into attacking. When Akainu struck, the clone detonated into electricity, stunning him again.
At that moment, Choza unleashed a power attack. Huge butterfly wings formed of chakra appeared on his back, imbuing his strike with immense force. With one punch, Akainu was instantly and seriously injured.
Then, draining his last reserves of chakra, Kakashi drove a Lightning Blade through Akainu's chest. Under the joint siege, Akainu... was defeated!
And it only took a few minutes.
At the same time, Kizaru encountered Killer Bee. The two fought fiercely. Killer Bee was a perfect Jinchūriki, working in tandem with the Eight Tails. If not for Kizaru's speed, he would have been defeated already.
Faced with the continuous attacks of the Tailed Beast Chakra Arms, Kizaru had no choice but to dodge. His laser beams hit Killer Bee but couldn't even break the Version 1 Chakra Cloak. His Ama no Murakumo sword was also easily blocked by Bee's swordsmanship. The battle was a stalemate.
Although Kizaru could still hold on, Tokikake (Chaton) and Gion (Momousagi) were not so lucky. Facing the crazy attacks of two Jinchūriki who had gone berserk, their Haki was no match for the terrifying Tailed Beast Chakra. In a few minutes, both suffered heavy injuries. Defeat was only a matter of time.
As for the CP0 agent—an S-class fighter—he met Tsunade, who had activated the Strength of a Hundred Seal.
One punch! Just one punch!
Since his Haki strength couldn't match Tsunade's raw power, he was instantly killed. When the ground roared under Tsunade's fist, the agent was turned into a lump of flesh.
Although no one saw his face, his movements made it clear he hadn't expected Tsunade's fist to be so terrifying. He hadn't unleashed his Haki at full strength, seemingly thinking he could tank the hit. The result was instant death, without even a chance to display his true skills.
The Pirate World suffered a crushing defeat.
Seeing this, Whitebeard looked back in the direction of the cabin.
That kid really called it. A unilaterally crushed battle!
No wonder Yuichi didn't even look at it. Watching such a battle was frustrating. Even Whitebeard wanted to rush in and take the place of these so-called Admirals.
As the Marine leaders were defeated one by one, only Kizaru remained. The ninjas gathered around didn't interfere; they just watched from a distance.
Kizaru sensed something was wrong. He became anxious, and in that moment of distraction, he was captured by Killer Bee and taken down in one blow.
The battle was over!
[Winner of the Fourth World War: The Ninja World]
When the outcome was announced, the people in the Pirate World felt extremely angry. If the loss was due to a lack of strength, that would be one thing. But the Marines who fought were not the strongest lineup available.
Countless Marine soldiers gritted their teeth.
"If it were Lord Yuichi and the elite Vice Admirals from Headquarters, even if we lost, it's impossible we would lose so quickly!"
"Why didn't they send Vice Admiral Momonga to fight? These so-called Headquarters Vice Admirals are trash!"
At this time, a barrage of comments flashed on the light curtain.
[Pirate World] Pirate: This is the World Government's doing. In order to get the One Tail that Lord Yuichi snatched back, they forced a powerful combat asset to defect from the Marines.
[Pirate World] Pirate: The elite Vice Admirals of Naval Headquarters must be upset because of this incident! That's why they didn't fight!
Looking at the comments floating by, the civilians who had doubts suddenly realized the truth.
No wonder Yuichi was missing. No wonder the elite Vice Admirals were absent. No wonder the person selecting the team wasn't Fleet Admiral Sengoku. A Marine Admiral Candidate with incredible potential had been forced to defect.
At this moment, the Five Kages in the Ninja World also saw the barrage.
"Has the power of the Tailed Beast caused internal strife in the opposing world? Hehe! It seems that no matter the world, powerful force will always attract prying eyes!"
The Five Kages smiled lightly. If that was the case, it didn't seem like a bad thing for the One Tail to be acquired by the enemy world.
