East Blue – Goa Kingdom – Near Foosha Village, Dadan Bandit Hideout on Mt. Colubo.
Bandit Curly Dadan, a cigarette dangling from her lips, was cooking while muttering to herself,
"That rascal Luffy... wonder if he's found his crewmates yet… and if he's eating properly…"
She was in mid-grumble when suddenly—
"Boss Dadan! Quick, come to the village! Someone just set up a huge screen over there, and they're broadcasting a live battle from the Sabaody Archipelago!"
A lackey's anxious voice rang out, startling Dadan so much she dropped her cigarette.
"What war at Sabaody Archipelago?" she asked in confusion. "Why would there be a war over there?"
The lackey replied urgently, "It's that guy who kidnapped the Celestial Dragon and challenged the Navy. He's fighting them at Sabaody right now!"
Upon hearing that, Dadan's jaw dropped and her cigarette fell to the floor.
"I thought that whole thing was just a rumor! And how is a small place like ours getting a live broadcast of a war?!"
"That's what the Navy wanted people to think. But the war's real, and it's started. If you're not going, I'm heading over now!" the lackey said, running off toward the village.
By the time Dadan and her group reached the village square, they found a large crowd already gathered.
Everyone's attention was fixed on the giant screen, completely unaware of Dadan and her crew arriving.
As they looked at the screen, they saw a massive number of white humanoids dropping from the sky, transformed by Lin Xuan using Edo Tensei (Reanimation Jutsu) into living people one by one.
The bizarre sight left them all breathless.
And when the white cocoons cracked open and figures stepped out of them, everyone watching widened their eyes in shock.
"What the hell is going on!?"
"Whoa! The Navy's making a move!"
"Wait, wait, those guys are crazy strong! Even the Navy can't handle them!"
"Hold on—wait for me!" Dadan shouted, hastily putting on her shoes and stumbling toward the screen.
"The white people turned into cocoons… and now they're transforming! What is this!?"
Shouts of amazement and wild speculation echoed throughout Foosha Village.
Scenes like this were unfolding all over the world:
In East Blue, West Blue, South Blue, North Blue…
In Foosha Village, Cocoyasi Village, Syrup Village, Drum Island, Alabasta…
From the Whitebeard Pirates to the Red-Haired Pirates, to Kaido's crew and Big Mom's crew…
All across the globe, people were riveted to the massive screens that had either been temporarily installed or mysteriously delivered to their doorsteps—
All eyes focused on the Sabaody Archipelago.
Because of this global attention and the shock caused by the strange way the shinobi of the ninja world arrived and began clashing with the Navy, Lin Xuan instantly gained 30 million reputation points.
Seeing the system notification, Lin Xuan couldn't help but marvel:
"Streaming really is powerful! I need to stir up a few more waves before the Navy figures it out, and milk more reputation out of this."
He knew the only reason he could start the live stream so quickly and reap such fame was that the Navy hadn't yet realized he was broadcasting in partnership with the "Truth Seeker" press.
Once they caught on, Sengoku would definitely contact all regional forces to shut the streams down.
By then, he wouldn't be able to gain reputation so easily.
Right now, Sengoku's focus was still on the mysterious shinobi who had just appeared.
And among them, he spotted two faces he'd long been trying to identify—
Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama!
Until now, they'd been wondering where Lin Xuan had sent them or how they'd be deployed in battle.
They never expected such dramatic reappearances on the battlefield.
Even now, Sengoku couldn't comprehend how Lin Xuan had managed to bring them into this world.
What made matters worse, Sengoku also noticed several black-haired men with blood-red eyes like Uchiha Madara.
"Those eyes again…" Sengoku's expression grew even more grim.
If these people also wielded eye techniques like Madara's, this could become a complete nightmare.
Still, he quickly composed himself. As Fleet Admiral, he couldn't afford to panic.
No matter how strong the enemy was, the Navy would not lose!
"Their arrival may be strange and terrifying, but they can't all be as strong as Lin Xuan, Madara, or Hashirama. It's just a few dozen of them. We can wipe them out!"
Sengoku gave the command: "All forces, attack! Test their strength!"
The Navy troops moved quickly, launching their assault on the reanimated shinobi army.
At the same time, the newly reanimated ninja began to regain their senses, having digested all the information that had been placed in their minds.
One by one, their expressions remained calm—none of them showing the slightest fear.
After all, they were the top-tier elite from the ninja world!
At that moment, Senju Hashirama tilted his head toward the man beside him—his brother, Senju Tobirama—and asked,
"Tobirama, didn't you say you had a little surprise prepared for this world's Navy?"
Hearing that, not only Uchiha Madara but also Uchiha Izuna and several others nearby looked over toward Tobirama.
"Yes," Tobirama replied. A rare smile appeared on his normally stoic face.
"Let me present that surprise now."
With that, he vanished in a flash, darting forward with incredible speed.
Several other shinobi stepped forward with him—many of them water-style users.
Madara immediately noticed that some of them were skilled in Water Release, including Second Mizukage Gengetsu Hōzuki.
Madara thought to himself:
"Don't tell me…"
Just as he was piecing things together, Tobirama's voice rang out:
"A small gift, nothing fancy. To the Navy soldiers in front—please accept it. I hope you'll enjoy it."
