Ninja?
Ninjas were different from the heinous villains that were pirates. They were tool people who had undergone special training, and even brainwashing.
Unlike pirates, they were more like the CP organization of Mary Geoise.
Besides ninjutsu, they were best at assassination and intelligence gathering.
Squads of three or four, they all had established bonds, were able to entrust their backs to their companions, and were ninja squads with more than one set of tactics.
Separated, their strength might be one, but combined, they were an existence where one plus one plus one was greater than the sum.
The Water Style: Hidden Mist Jutsu was only one level higher than the Three Basic Jutsu, and was one of the common D-rank ninjutsu.
Such a D-rank ninjutsu had become one of Kirigakure's signature ninjutsu.
Because the ninjas of Kirigakure had all integrated this ninjutsu into the assassination technique of the Silent Killing, causing countless targets to die at the hands of this combination technique.
Over time, Kirigakure's Silent Killing and Amegakure's assassination techniques had led to the two ninja villages being the representative ninja villages of the assassination world.
For assassination-type missions, clients would generally look for these two ninja villages.
Because they were professional!
Therefore...
When the chakra, transformed into the water nature, spread out as a thick fog.
The Big Mom Pirates from another world instantly experienced just how terrifying an assassination technique integrated with ninjutsu was.
Under the perception of their Observation Haki, many people discovered that the presence of the mist ninjas had gone from one to two, or even more.
The pirates, who had mastered the common knowledge of this world, immediately understood that those mist ninjas should be using the Clone Technique.
As expected...
A figure silently approached a pirate who had mastered two types of Haki and was a minister-level cadre in the Big Mom Pirates.
Pfft—Splash!
Before the other party could attack, the minister-cadre, holding a large machete, split the figure in two with a single slash.
With the sound of cloth tearing, the mist ninja, whose eyes were wide open, had his body split in two and immediately turned into a clear stream of water.
It was a Water Clone!
"...Be careful, the other party has a sensory-type ability."
The minister-cadre's slash had also exposed his Observation Haki.
The Shadow Clone Technique, a B-rank ninjutsu developed by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, was widely circulated in the ninja world.
The strongest ability of the Shadow Clone Technique was that it could create a shadow clone with a physical body that even the Byakugan of the Hyūga clan could not see through.
The shadow clone could act with the main body, and after it was dispelled, the clone's memories and experiences would return to the main body.
This ninjutsu was a ninjutsu specially developed for espionage by Tobirama Senju after he had drawn experience from his older brother's Wood Clone Technique.
After seeing the power of the Shadow Clone Technique, the other ninja villages had also developed their own elemental clone techniques, which were superior to the non-physical clone technique.
Among them, Kirigakure's Water Style: Water Clone Technique was a C-rank clone technique similar to the Shadow Clone Technique.
So, using clones to probe the enemy's intelligence was basically a basic knowledge that all ninjas of the five great ninja villages needed to learn and master.
Through the probing of the water clones, the mist ninjas instantly collected important intelligence.
That was that the outsiders from another continent also had sensory-type abilities.
In addition, just like their non-human bodies, they possessed monster-level strength.
Each of them was like a taijutsu ninja and could not be engaged in close combat.
And so...
The mist ninjas began to use ninjutsu to launch sneak attacks and assassinations on the members of the Big Mom Pirates.
"Water Style: Heavenly Weeping!"
Water needles, like a torrential rain, poured down.
Many of the pirates in the thick fog, who did not possess Armament Haki, were all turned into hedgehogs.
"Ahhhh..."
The water needles, shot out from the mouth at high speed, like the machine guns of the pirate world, had extremely strong penetrating power.
Even the thick-skinned pirates could not withstand these water needle attacks.
This ninjutsu was a surprise-attack-type ninjutsu whose attack was unexpected.
When used by Tobirama Senju, it could even bring down a torrential rain of water needles.
As one of the top two in the assassination world, Kirigakure had naturally also researched this ninjutsu, which was very suitable for assassination and sneak attacks, and had collected it in their ninjutsu library.
"...Don't you look down on people! Go to hell for me!"
For pirates who did not possess Armament Haki and Observation Haki, the water needles were a fatal attack no less than a machine gun barrage.
But for pirates who had mastered Armament Haki or Observation Haki, or even both, it was a completely non-threatening attack.
A three-meter-tall pirate, holding a 205cm long sword, swung it forcefully in a certain direction.
Swish—Boom!
A dazzling sword light raised a strong airflow.
Like cutting paper, it cut open the white, thick fog.
A giant green slash was swung out by the pirate holding the long sword, its diameter stretching for hundreds of meters.
Wherever it passed, the mist ninjas who were hit by the green slash were like being hit by a great mountain. They spat out blood, and their ninja armor, and even their bodies, were torn apart by the giant slash.
Those with weak bodies were torn to pieces on the spot by the green slash.
Several of the mist ninjas near the green slash were also sent flying by the hurricane-like airflow.
If the ninjas of Kirigakure were mages proficient in ninjutsu.
Then the pirates, of whom only a few had obtained chakra, could not form hand seals, and could not attack the enemy with ninjutsu, and could only use chakra to assist in battle, were warriors with balanced strength, speed, and defense.
This was a round of Pirate vs. Ninja, Warrior vs. Mage.
The two sides, with their different attributes, were inherently a counter to each other.
You can suppress me, and I can also suppress you; you can instantly kill me with magic (ninjutsu, assassination techniques), and I can also instantly kill you with combat skills (slashes, Haki, taijutsu).
