"Fuffuffuffu... It's a great pleasure to have you back, Mr. Orochimaru."
A week later.
Orochimaru, who had accepted the mission from Hiruzen Sarutobi to purchase hot weapons, came to the Golden Nation alone this time.
Upon learning of this, Doflamingo personally went to welcome Orochimaru.
Among the group of people who had visited the Golden Nation, the one who had left the deepest impression on Doflamingo was not the "Demigod" Hanzō of the Salamander, whose status was no less than that of the daimyo and the Five Kage, nor was it Danzō Shimura or Jiraiya, but Orochimaru, who had a similar temperament to his, a rare kindred spirit in this world.
Especially that night, after the banquet, Doflamingo had received a call from Karl, and knew that Karl had had Marguerite secretly use the Door-Door Fruit to throw a golden card into Orochimaru's room, which was also an invitation to visit the Golden Nation for a second time.
Doflamingo, who knew that Karl wanted to recruit Orochimaru, now looked at him with a friendliness that he hadn't had before.
"Lord Doflamingo, can I go and see that lord?"
Orochimaru looked up at Doflamingo, who was more than a meter taller than him, and with a wicked smile, he flicked his long tongue like a venomous snake, took out a golden card from his ninja tool pouch, and handed it to Doflamingo.
"Fuffuffuffu... Of course, I'm here to pick you up."
Doflamingo took the golden card, then put his hand on Orochimaru's shoulder, revealing a wicked smile similar to Orochimaru's.
Creak—
Almost as soon as Doflamingo's words fell, an air door, which Orochimaru was not unfamiliar with, opened not far from the two of them.
Looking at the indoor space behind the air door, Doflamingo and Orochimaru stepped inside.
"Welcome to the Golden Nation, Mr. Orochimaru."
Just as Orochimaru arrived in the living room on the top floor of the Golden Hotel, a very gentle young voice immediately entered his ears.
Looking in the direction of the voice, Orochimaru saw a blond young man walking in from the balcony.
"...How surprising. I didn't expect the Golden Lord, who is above the two masters, to be so young."
Looking at Karl, who was not even two meters tall and had just finished his birthday marking the transition from a teenager to a young man, a rare look of shock appeared on Orochimaru's face.
"Fuffuffuffu... It's fine. I was scared by his youth when he was 15."
Doflamingo patted Orochimaru's shoulder and said with a look of deep understanding.
"Mr. Orochimaru, it's a pleasure to meet you."
At this moment, Karl also walked in front of Orochimaru, extended his hand, and introduced himself, "My name is Karl. You can call me Karl, just like Doffy."
"It's a pleasure to meet you too, Lord Karl."
Looking at Karl, who had no majesty of a king but exuded a kind of personal charm, Orochimaru finally believed that the young man before him was the master of the Golden Nation.
Because temperament doesn't lie!
After shaking hands with Karl, Orochimaru got straight to the point, "Lord Karl, I wonder what the meaning of the card you gave me is?"
"It's exactly as it says. I'm inviting you to see a wider world, or... another world!"
Karl was also a straightforward person.
Without any nonsense, he directly raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
Snap—
With the crisp sound.
A space-time gate, even more visually stunning than the air door, immediately appeared in the living room.
While Orochimaru's eyes widened, staring at the space-time gate, Karl controlled the "double-pass" to enlarge, and in the blink of an eye, it swallowed the three of them.
With the disappearance of the "double-pass," the three of them returned from the Naruto world to the pirate world.
It wasn't until that night that the "double-pass" appeared again and sent the three of them back.
"...Mr. Orochimaru, have you considered it?"
Looking at the excited Orochimaru before him, Karl, who already knew the result in his heart, asked knowingly.
"Please let me join, Lord Karl!"
Orochimaru answered without hesitation.
Not only that, but Orochimaru's face was also filled with an almost crazed fanaticism.
So... it was true, he was just a frog in a well!
Another continent, that was all a lie!
These people were actually from another world!
Another world, there was actually another world outside of this world...
Ah... what a wonderful discovery!
At this moment, Orochimaru was so glad that he had been appreciated by Karl.
Just like a magician who was willing to abandon everything for magic.
Orochimaru also had the obsession of a magician.
After a trip to another world and seeing a wider world than the Ninja Continent, Orochimaru unhesitatingly abandoned Konoha, abandoned his teacher and companions, and chose to join Karl's camp.
If there was no method of longevity in this world, then he would go to another world to find it.
If there wasn't one in the other world, then he would go to the next world to find it.
Karl, who had a passage to other worlds, would surely be able to realize his dream.
So...
After a trip to the Dressrosa Kingdom with Karl and Doflamingo, and learning about the pirate world through the newspapers, and also knowing Karl's and Doflamingo's status in that world.
Facing this World's Strongest Man of another world, Orochimaru, just like Doflamingo when he learned of the other world, chose to pledge his allegiance to him.
"Welcome to the team, Mr. Orochimaru."
Hearing Orochimaru's reply, Karl smiled happily.
If there was anyone in this world who could catch Karl's eye.
Then besides Madara Uchiha, it was only Orochimaru before him.
As one of the few scientists in this world, Orochimaru was absolutely a rare talent even in the pirate world.
After Orochimaru turned to the dark side, his shadow was everywhere in the later generations.
From the Second Great Ninja War to the Fourth Great Ninja War, Orochimaru died and came back to life, came back to life and died again. In the end, not only was he not sentenced to death, but he was whitewashed.
His life was a legend!
So, Orochimaru was worthy of Karl personally recruiting him.
"Fuffuffuffu... Welcome to the team."
Seeing that his kindred spirit in this world had made the same choice as he had back then, Doflamingo, who already had a good impression of Orochimaru, couldn't help but pat his shoulder and said with a wicked smile, "You'll soon find that your choice was so correct."
"This world is too small. A person like you shouldn't be trapped in this birdcage!"
