Chapter 27: The Next World War, Seven Days Later
[The force representing the Pirate World is the Marine, who won the first World War and will continue to represent the Pirate World.]
Seeing this, Sengoku's heart skipped a beat.
The Second World War was in seven days?
Feeling the increase in his own strength, Sengoku no longer had any doubts about the fusion of the two worlds. His physical strength, Haki, and Devil Fruit abilities had all undergone strange enhancements just now. There was no need to overthink it; it was absolutely impossible for a human to orchestrate such a thing globally.
What made Sengoku feel helpless was the prospect of the Marines fighting people from another world again in seven days. The power of those ninjas was extremely weird and should not be underestimated.
They won this time, but they might not win the next. It was immense pressure to represent the whole world.
The Five Elders had already issued a death order for the first battle, demanding he guarantee victory regardless of whether the situation was real or a hoax. It was conceivable that since the Marines were selected again, the Five Elders would issue similar orders.
Facing enemies from another world meant facing a lack of intelligence and many unknown risks. Under the circumstances of various uncertain factors, who could guarantee a win?
Melancholy, Sengoku sighed.
However, at this time, new text was displayed on the light curtain.
[In the Second World War, the winning world will not only be strengthened as a whole.]
[Soldiers who represent the world will receive special rewards.]
[Please prepare, Marine forces of the Pirate World.]
After displaying these messages, the light curtain suddenly disappeared from the sky like a television being switched off.
Snap!
After the light curtain vanished, everyone was left stunned.
What did that mean? Those who fought on behalf of the world would also receive special rewards? What kind of rewards?
While Sengoku was very curious, a Marine soldier walked up to him and saluted.
"Report to Fleet Admiral Sengoku! Please answer a call from the Five Elders!"
Hearing this, Sengoku nodded helplessly. As expected.
Sengoku glanced back at Yuichi. "I'll leave the matters here to you, Yuichi. Arrange for the wounded soldiers to be treated. And watch out for Kizaru and Aokiji!"
Yuichi nodded. But right now, Yuichi wasn't really listening to what Sengoku was saying. At this moment, Yuichi's mind was full of the "rewards" mentioned on the light curtain.
Fighters who represent the world receive special rewards. No matter what the reward was, Yuichi would never miss it. With Yuichi's status in the Marines, it should be no problem to participate in the next World War.
.....
On the Moby Dick, Whitebeard looked at the silent Marco and the others. "What do you think about this?"
Marco frowned and thought for a while. "Pops, next time the Marines will fight with people from another world again, so it won't affect us at all, yoi."
Jozu thought so too. "If they win, the world will evolve again, and Pops can become younger! But we don't have to do anything. It doesn't matter to us at all!"
Hearing that his two "stupid" sons interpreted it this way, Whitebeard smiled faintly. "As the world evolves, everyone becomes stronger. But have you ever thought that if they fail, everyone in the world may also become weaker?"
"Although it is the Marines fighting, this is about the whole world. About everyone. About you and me."
Saying that, Whitebeard showed a dignified look. "And didn't you see it just now? Warriors who represent the world will receive special rewards!"
Although it wasn't clear what the so-called rewards were, with the magical power of the light curtain, anything was possible. It could be an increase in strength, or it could be an extension of life. It wasn't out of the question that some kind of great power might be granted directly.
Hearing Whitebeard's words, Marco and the others began to understand. "Pops, do you want to help the Marines?"
Whitebeard smiled. "Instead of helping the Marines, I hope that next time, the Whitebeard Pirates will be selected to represent the world!"
Saying that, Whitebeard sat down slowly and picked up the massive bisento hidden behind him. "Fate is in your own hands. That is much better than pinning your hopes on others!"
Whitebeard could spot this opportunity, and Kaido, Big Mom, Shanks, and the others knew the pros and cons as well. If the Marines represented the world in battle, everyone benefited from a win, but the biggest benefit lay with the Marines.
This was very bad for pirates.
And just as Whitebeard said, holding fate in one's own hands was something every Emperor desired.
.....
The Fusion of All Worlds. The Light Curtain descends. The two worlds are at war for the first time. In the end, the Marines win.
The whole Pirate World was frantically passing on this news. Although the light curtain appeared in the sky and everyone could see it, not everyone fully understood the implications immediately.
People were very excited now—excited for the evolution of the world and the enhancement of power. At the same time, discussions about the people of the "Other World" were going on everywhere.
The Ninja World.
They lost the First World War. Although there was no direct penalty, the injured Might Guy and others returned to Konoha Village.
Upon return, all the injuries on their bodies disappeared. However, while Might Guy and the others returned looking grim, Minato, who had fought alongside them, did not come back. It seemed that the "resurrected" Minato was only temporarily brought back for the battle in the other world.
Hiruzen didn't say much; the powerhouses from the other world were indeed not easy to deal with.
Furthermore, this time, the power of Kakashi and the others was weakened. The extent of their weakening was not just 1%, but a full 10% of their strength. This caused a significant drop in both Kakashi's seal formation speed and the power of the attacks they launched.
While Hiruzen and the others were meditating on this, hints of World War II also appeared on the light curtains in the world of ninja.
Seven days later, World War II would begin.
At the same time:
[Since Konoha Village lost the first World War, the next World War will join Sunagakure.]
[The next World War will be a joint dispatch by Konoha Village and Sunagakure.]
[During the preparation period, please communicate and exchange with both parties.]
[May you put aside all grievances and join hands to fight for the sake of your world.]
[Soldiers representing the world, if they win, will receive special rewards.]
