With the accounts of X Drake, Urouge, and others, all the pirate captains present beca aware of the dire situation outside.
Marine Headquarters Admirals Aokiji and Akainu had already arrived near the ports of the Sabaody Archipelago.
Any pirates who tried to flee were either frozen into icy statues or reduced to ashes by searing magma.
Seeing things going south, X Drake and his crew had fled back into the lawless zone.
Yet, before they could even hide, they were discovered by Kizaru. With a flash of golden light, not only were they blasted back, but Law, Kid, and others were dragged into the chaos as well.
"Marine HQ's three Admirals, and even agents of the World Governnt… the entire Sabaody Archipelago has been locked down…" Law's face turned grim. "This is absurd. Deploying this kind of force—they wouldn't do even that for a Yonko."
Kid clenched his teeth. "They're not here for us… they're here for that guy."
He cast his furious gaze toward Naruto's group.
The Admirals were clearly after him, and they were simply caught in the crossfire.
Luffy, Zoro, X Drake, Urouge, Bonney, Capone Bege, Hawkins… all turned to look at Naruto.
Though they were angry, they wisely refrained from doing anything rash.
After all, anyone capable of drawing out the three Marine Admirals was definitely not soone to ss with.
They couldn't even take down one Admiral, let alone this kind of monster.
Under everyone's watchful gaze, Naruto finally made his move.
He smiled at the gathered pirates.
"You've all cald down now. Good. I have a proposal. How about becoming my subordinates?"
Naruto spoke his true intent.
"Next, I'll be heading to the New World. I plan to seize territory and beco a Yonko."
"But there's a small problem. I'm all on my own. I've got no crew, and raising one takes too much ti…"
"So, anyone interested?"
The pirate captains looked at each other, stunned. Each one of them was an extrely prideful pirate—how could they willingly serve under another?
Naruto shrugged. "Suit yourselves. Once you've been beaten half to death in the New World, you'll co crawling back."
He didn't force them.
Instead, he turned toward Law.
"Trafalgar Law, your enemy is one of the Shichibukai—Doflamingo, isn't it?"
Law's expression darkened. He hadn't expected Naruto to know about his grudge with Doflamingo.
"Beco my subordinate, and I'll help you take your revenge."
Naruto stared at Law with interest. He was clearly intrigued by the Ope Ope no Mi. In the world of pirates, it was practically a divine relic. Even in the Shinobi World, it was comparable to a Kekkei Tōta.
"I'll think about it…" Law clenched his teeth. He still wanted to take revenge with his own hands.
"Whatever." Naruto waved it off, losing interest in recruiting the Worst Generation.
Then he opened a spatial portal.
"Nami, Robin, Olvia, take that Celestial Dragon woman and wait for on the other side."
Nami and Robin nodded quickly. They understood they couldn't help much in a fight like this.
Olvia went in first.
Then Nami.
Lastly, Robin dragged Saint Charlos by her hair and yanked her through the portal.
The spatial gate closed behind them.
Naruto's eyes burned with battle-lust as he looked toward the auction house's exit. With a casual flick, he hurled a special Hiraishin kunai.
Swish!
A streak of golden light flashed and vanished.
By the ti the Worst Generation captains processed what happened, Naruto was already gone from the auction house.
"He vanished!?"
Their eyes widened.
Before they could react, they heard Kizaru's shocked voice from outside.
"Hey, hey, hey—wait a second! Uzumaki Naruto… since when did ninjas have this kind of ability? Don't tell you ate the Glint-Glint Fruit too?"
The pirate captains exchanged glances, then rushed outside.
There, they saw a dazzling spectacle in the skies above the Sabaody Archipelago.
Two golden streaks of light darted across the heavens, moving so fast it left afterimages.
"What the hell!?" Luffy gawked, stunned. "So fast… I couldn't even see them…"
Zoro's face darkened. "Too fast… just like the guy who kicked us in earlier. We couldn't see a thing."
"Two streaks of light? Did both of them eat the Glint-Glint Fruit!?"
"This is insane…"
"No wonder they call him a ten-billion bounty monster…"
"…Unreal."
"This isn't a Devil Fruit… it's legit space-ti ninjutsu…"
Naruto's voice rang out, calm yet playful:
"Kizaru, the speed of light is impressive—but compared to space-ti, you're still too slow."
As he spoke, he flicked his right hand—and thousands of Hiraishin kunai flew out in all directions, covering nearly the entire area.
Naruto stood atop the Yarchiman Mangrove tree's branches.
"Kizaru, ever been kicked by space-ti?"
Kizaru's mouth twitched. For the first ti, he seriously activated his Kenbunshoku Haki (Observation Haki).
He really didn't want to get beaten half to death by Uzumaki Naruto.
But just as he activated it, his expression suddenly changed. He whipped around to look at an empty patch of ground behind him.
Too late...
Naruto's figure appeared from thin air.
With a high-speed step, he launched a kick straight at Kizaru's chest.
Kizaru crossed his arms, cloaking them in Busoshoku Haki (Armant Haki) to block.
Boom!
Kizaru was sent flying. His body turned to light mid-air, shooting off like a teor.
But before he could even hit the ground, another golden light flashed below.
Naruto had already teleported ahead using Hiraishin.
He raised his right fist, coated it in Armant Haki, and roared:
"Katon!!! (Fire Style!!!)"
Fire Fist!
The punch smashed into Kizaru's glowing form, hurling him toward Grove #1.
Then Naruto's body again turned into golden flashes.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Golden lights streaked across the entire sky above Sabaody Archipelago.
The Worst Generation stood dumbfounded.
In their stunned gaze, they could only see golden flashes blinking all over the island.
And each ti Naruto appeared—he would kick Kizaru's glowing form flying once again.
It was as if one streak of golden light was relentlessly beating up another.
After all that ti… Kizaru still hadn't even touched the ground.
