After a brief mont of awe, the trio wasted no ti and dispersed to gather intel separately.
So ti later, they regrouped at a place resembling a park.
Now dressed in civilian clothing native to the One Piece world, Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru blended in without drawing attention, their presence no longer suspicious.
"This world has sothing called Devil Fruits," Jiraiya reported. "Eat one, and you gain abilities similar to our Kekkei Genkai—pretty amazing stuff. But the drawback's just as obvious: you lose the ability to swim. In a world ruled by oceans, that's a huge trade-off."
Orochimaru furrowed his brow. "It's difficult to assess combat power here. Unlike our world, there's no structured cultivation or training system. Power levels are described only in vague terms."
Tsunade and Jiraiya nodded—what they uncovered matched Orochimaru's findings.
Then Orochimaru added gravely, "That said, Devil Fruit users aren't weak. In the Lord God's exchange panel, many Devil Fruits are priced equal to or higher than Wood Release. The Tremor-Tremor Fruit can cause earthquakes and tsunamis. The Glint-Glint Fruit lets its user turn into light. If those descriptions are accurate, we're dealing with so terrifying opponents."
"We only need to rescue the slaves," Tsunade said. "We probably won't cross paths with those monsters. Any ideas how we get into that castle? I checked—it really is ho to the Celestial Dragons, and there are thousands of slaves from various races imprisoned inside."
She frowned at the word "slaves."
There were no such things in the ninja world, making the idea difficult for her to stomach.
"Let's just bust in," Jiraiya said with a grin. "Though I wonder if Summoning Jutsu works across dinsions."
No one responded.
"Ninjutsu?" Orochimaru mused. "The people of this world don't seem to understand our jutsu, let alone Earth Release."
"We can try," Tsunade nodded. "But we need to first map out the castle's layout."
As they spoke, a strange group entered the park.
At the front waddled a chubby young man with two slimy trails of snot hanging from his nose. He wore a pristine, oddly styled white robe, and his head was encased in a bubble-like do. In his hand, he held a leash—connected to the neck of a beautiful young woman behind him.
He was literally walking her like a pet.
Worse, he occasionally tugged and humiliated her. The girl held back her tears, her face full of misery.
A fully armored bodyguard followed close behind, signifying the youth's elevated status.
Seeing this blatant degradation of a woman, the three Sannin reacted differently.
Jiraiya glared, Tsunade's gaze turned icy, and her fists clenched with restrained rage.
Orochimaru, however, licked his lips in intrigue. "I've thought of a way to sneak into the castle."
"No need to say it—I've thought of the sa thing," Tsunade snapped, already unable to hold back.
She was naturally hot-tempered, and this scene finally pushed her over the edge.
"You lowly scum! How dare you not kneel before !" the snot-nosed youth bellowed when he noticed them.
But then, his eyes locked onto Tsunade's face and figure. Drool dribbled from the corner of his mouth.
"What a beautiful and sexy woman... Norland! Capture her! I, Saint Charlos, will make her my ninth wife!"
"The hell you will, you bastard!"
That curse didn't co from Tsunade, but from Nawaki's inner voice—this Celestial Dragon dared to defile his sister? He must have a death wish.
As expected, Tsunade smirked coldly.
Before Charlos could even react, Tsunade had already appeared beside him and kicked him straight into the air.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Even without using her monstrous strength, Charlos flew over a dozen ters, bounced off the ground like a ragdoll, and crashed into a flowerbed—instantly unconscious.
"Lord Saint Charlos!" the girl and the guard shrieked.
Even if the girl was the victim, if anything happened to a Celestial Dragon, she would undoubtedly die too.
The guard lunged with a spear, aiming at Tsunade's heart—but to her, he was nothing.
"Quick and clean," Orochimaru said. "This is the heart of the World Governnt. We need to wrap this up before reinforcents arrive."
He flickered over to Charlos's twitching body and looked down with disgust. "This kind of blood? Not even worth tasting."
Boom!
The guard was floored with a single punch.
Tsunade frowned at the fainted girl on the grass.
"Jiraiya, you'll beco this woman. Orochimaru, you beco Charlos. I'll be the guard."
"Why do I have to be the woman!?" Jiraiya wailed.
"Oh? Would you rather I be the woman, and you pretend to be Charlos, dragging around on a leash?"
Faced with Tsunade's cold smile, Jiraiya promptly gave in.
Half a minute later, Marine soldiers rushed into the park after hearing the commotion—only to find "Saint Charlos" leisurely walking with his "wife" in the park. They rushed forward and knelt.
"My lord, was there so kind of disturbance?"
"Hm? What could possibly happen here?" Orochimaru drawled as Charlos, glaring down at them. "Don't interrupt my walk with my wife. Now scram."
"Y-yes, my lord!"
As the Marine lieutenant began to rise, "Charlos" spoke again.
"Forget it. Your filthy faces have ruined my mood. Take back to the slave pens—I want to see if any new rchandise has arrived."
"Yes, sir!"
The lieutenant bowed deeply, missing the brief flash of a fang-like tooth glinting from Charlos's mouth.

Using Charlos's identity, Tsunade's team successfully infiltrated the grand castle.
To the Celestial Dragons, this wasn't just a fortress—it was the true Holy Land Mariejois. The outside was rely the slums where the commoners lived.
The castle was enormous. Without assistance, they would've needed at least a full day to find the slave holding area.
But with insider guidance, they reached the target location with ease.
Turns out, even a simple E-Rank Transformation Jutsu was more practical than many Devil Fruit powers.
