Chapter 162: Rayleigh Defeated, Chaton Blocked
Rayleigh looked at Shane.
Even with him going all out, he couldn't gain any advantage against this young man who wasn't even twenty.
Isn't that talent a little too outrageous?
Even the current Four Emperors… no, even Roger, at his age, was nowhere near this strong.
At this moment, his opponent's condition, on the surface, seemed to be about the same as his.
He was also covered in blo...
Chapter 161: All Eyes on Deck, the Players Take the Stage
"Such powerful Haki,"
Rayleigh said, adjusting his glasses, the shock in his eyes still not fading. "And you've even mastered Conqueror's Haki Infusion. Are you really not even twenty years old?"
Shane strode forward, his black hair whipping in the aftershock of his Haki.
With every step, the uneven ground beneath his feet parted, creating a trench, as if paving a path for him.
"Re...
Chapter 172: A Hero's Welcome
"Ah! It's Basalt! Honey, Basalt's back!"
When Basalt pushed open the door, his dad was lounging on the sofa watching a farming channel, but the sight of his son, whom he hadn't seen in ages, made him bolt upright.
"You brat, you finally decided to come home," his dad said, his voice thick with emotion. But his next words were filled with pride. "You did good, son." As a father, he supported Basalt's dreams and didn't want ...
Chapter 171: Rapid Growth
"Saur~ Saur~"
The unique training method of Excadrill and Lileep left not only the young Basalt but also the ancient Mega Venusaur completely stunned. It was a mix of surprise and a little bit of envy.
And so... Excadrill was also brought into the Mega Venusaur's tutelage, and it began to teach it how to properly utilize Grass-type energy.
This left Bronzor blinking its single eye, completely at a loss.
"This is ...
Chapter 164: A Secret Hokage Meeting!
"Captain, is there something wrong with the rice ball?" Shizune asked, noticing that Keisuke had frozen for a moment after taking a bite.
"No, the rice ball is fine. The problem is Retsu," Keisuke said, turning the triangular rice ball over in his hand and marveling at it. "Come to think of it, this is the first time I've ever received food from Retsu... It's a very novel feeling."
Shizune's expression grew a bit c...
Chapter 163: The Intangible Shadow!
"By simply utilizing the natural energy that fills the earth?"
Nara Keisuke scanned the description for the "Art of False Plantation," his eyes instantly locking onto the key phrase.
"This B-rank technique... is it a Sage Art, the same type as the Longsword of the Sky!?"
The realization sent a jolt of pleasant surprise through him. He had honestly expected to get a Wood Style jutsu from the White Zetsu's scrol...
Chapter 123: Departure!
Arthur and the other commanders were gathered in the bridge access corridor of the Eternal Crusader. The area had been expanded into a massive information processing center.
Ever since they had assisted in the framework construction on Baal, the astropaths concentrated here had been working at full capacity, collecting and deciphering distress calls from along the crusade's route. With the Warp-shielding provided by the four of them, t...
Chapter 122: Route Planning
"You're back."
Romulus, still organizing the crusade's route, greeted him without looking up. He glanced at Arthur's mission brief, then couldn't help but comment, "You can really see that stuff? You're a regular Grand Seer."
"I couldn't at first," Arthur said, shaking his head and casually tossing a candy wrapper into the disposal chute.
Their shared abilities were beginning to specialize according to their individua...
Chapter 245: Madara Uchiha Leaves the Hidden Sand
The third day after Black Zetsu left, I miss it…
Madara Uchiha sighed. He was a man who believed in power and disliked Orochimaru's convoluted methods. When he was formulating plans, it was always Black Zetsu who helped him supplement them, bit by bit.
Faced with a figure at the pinnacle of the ninja world's intellect like Orochimaru, Madara Uchiha was clearly a bit uncomfortable… Especially after a...
Chapter 244: In Orochimaru's Hands, There's a Puppet Couple!
Konoha's rogue ninjas have always had a lot of personality.
However, their strength was indeed one stronger than the next. The rogue ninjas from the other great ninja villages were considerably inferior in terms of combat power and functionality…
This also reflected another problem from the side: the number one village in the ninja world was not very good at retaining these high-quality tal...
Chapter 260: The Death of Angron (2-in-1)
Ferrus did not order the Purifiers to pursue the retreating Emperor's Children. The daemons of Slaanesh were still a major threat. Their duty now was to remain here and eliminate as many of them as possible to relieve the pressure on the Cadians. He had to destroy as many enemies as he could in the time he had left.
Ferrus and his Purifiers withdrew back to the human defensive lines. The Cadian soldiers in the trenche...
Chapter 259: I Am Ferrus, But You Are Not Fulgrim
"Fulgrim... after all these years, you are still lost! Look at your body, what have you become? Is this what you call perfection? You monster... is this what you wanted?"
A pang of anguish shot through Ferrus as he looked at Fulgrim's body. His once-handsome brother had been utterly transformed into a monster. The passage of time had only made Fulgrim's form more grotesque and alien. Few of his human features ...
Chapter 258: Ferrus and Fulgrim
Creed's command post was rocked by Chaos bombardment. He glanced at a nearby soldier who had fallen to the ground. A medic in a powersuit rushed over to check, but their medicae-injector could not bring back the dead. The medic simply shook their head at Creed.
"Cremate him immediately," Creed ordered, his voice flat. "Prevent Chaos from using his corpse."
Across the defensive lines, funeral pyres burned, consuming the b...
Chapter 257: An Elephant Bitten to Death by Ants
As the daemons continued their slaughter, they began to feel that something was wrong... why couldn't they seem to kill all of these bugs?
Most importantly, the daemons gained nothing from killing the Zerg. They could not feed on the emotion of fear, a fact that stymied even the daemons of Khorne. The Zerg were not fighting out of bloodlust or martial pride; they were simply obeying Kerrigan's commands. The dae...
Chapter 160: What Are You Pretending For, Rayleigh!
Kuina's footsteps faltered slightly, and she glanced over her shoulder.
But it was only a glance. She quickly turned back and continued walking ashore, leaving only a calm sentence in her wake: "You are not worthy."
"Huh?!"
Sasaki's wild laugh froze on his face, a vein throbbing on his temple. "Don't look down on me! You bastard! Do you know who I am—"
Before he could finish his senten...
Chapter 159: Three Against Six, We Have the Advantage!
Grove 52.
On the open-air dojo of the second floor of The Curtain Call's deck, Shane, having just taken a shower, sat under a parasol, one hand holding an orange soda, the other casually outstretched.
He watched with interest as a soccer-ball-sized bubble popped in his hand with a soft pop.
"What an interesting place," Shane said, looking up at the distance.
The sea breeze rustled, an...
Chapter 170: A Master's Guidance and a Pleasant Surprise
"This Venusaur is telling Lileep that its method of absorbing energy is too crude," the Bronzor-translator's telepathic voice explained to Basalt. "It's like a competitive eater, just gobbling down everything without caring about the quality of the food."
"Saur~"
The moment Bronzor finished translating, the Mega Venusaur turned its gaze towards it, a flicker of surprise on its face.
"Whoa,...
Chapter 169: Deep in the Secret Woods
"Bronzor, use your psychic power to scan the area. Excadrill, keep an eye on the ground for vibrations," Basalt commanded, putting his Pokémon on high alert as they prepared to venture deeper into the primeval forest. Although he had been told the Pokémon here were peaceful, he wasn't taking any chances.
"Brooonz."
"Excaaa."
The two Pokémon nodded, their expressions serious. A gentle, imperceptible wave of ps...
Chapter 162: The True Plant Person—White Zetsu!
[Having mastered an elemental Kekkei Genkai [Boil Release], your [Ninjutsu] and [Wisdom] stats have been increased!]
A new notification immediately popped up on the panel. Keisuke gave it a cursory glance before dismissing it.
"First Scorch Release, then Explosion Release, then Lava Release, and now Boil Release."
"Four elemental Kekkei Genkai. That number alone is pretty explosive by the standar...
Chapter 161: The Fourth Kekkei Genkai!
Nara Keisuke lay under the shade of the tree, completely immersed in the brief moment of leisure. After an unknown amount of time, a stream of memories from a Shadow Doppelganger flowed into his mind.
"The A-rank technique I just acquired, 'Genjutsu: Sharingan,' has been successfully modified!"
The activation of "Genjutsu: Sharingan" only required the Sharingan's ability to perceive and manipulate spiritual energy...
Chapter 121: A Day in the Life of a High-Class Nanny
The Archmagos departed, deeply troubled.
Halfway through its journey through space, just as it was crossing the asteroid belt, the transport's thruster array suddenly went silent, like an extinguished candle. As several escort frigates closed in, high-powered scanning instruments monitored every inch of the transport's hull. After the STC was carefully unloaded, several streams of scorching plasma consumed ...
Chapter 120: I Feel Like You're My Mom
Baal Secundus—
Before this, Seth had never thought that meditation could be so calming.
As he sat within the chapter-house, his eyes closed, feeling the warmth of the morning sun on his skin, his senses expanded without limit. In the dry wind, he could feel the pulse of the mortals' blood, could clearly recall the series of tactical knowledge he had learned, could recognize the rage and thirst within his own hea...
Chapter 243: The Rogue Ninja of Konoha, One by One, They All Lack Professional Ethics…
It was likely due to Tobirama Senju's imprudent choice of personnel back in the day that Itachi Uchiha, Kisame Hoshigaki, and the others had no choice but to leave the Hidden Rain Village with Kakashi Hatake, signaling Konoha's relinquishment of its intentions for the village.
Might Guy and Yamato volunteered to prepare for camping and set up security measures. It was unl...
Chapter 242: One Disciple is More Disappointing Than the Next!
In fact, it wasn't just Itachi Uchiha.
Tobirama Senju himself had already concluded that Danzo Shimura had once dispatched his number one ninja, Zetsu, to assassinate Fugaku Uchiha and his wife, and in the process, had nearly taken care of Orochimaru.
It was common knowledge that Danzo was Fugaku Uchiha's political rival.
Ever since Fugaku had entered the Konoha leadership, the two h...
Chapter 256: Colossus
"Warmaster! Legio Vulcanum has defeated the Imperial Knights! However, among the enemy Titans, we have encountered several new patterns. Their mobility is poor, but their firepower is exceptionally fierce! They are like mobile artillery platforms and are causing significant trouble for our advance."
In the distance, the wreckage of several Chaos Warhound-class Titans lay scattered across the earth. These god-machines had been destroyed b...
Chapter 255: Activating the Blackstone and the Zerg Reinforcements
"I am Trazyn the Infinite, Overlord of Solemnace, Chief Archaeovist of the Prismatic Galleries, and a scientist!"
"No," Cawl retorted instantly. "You are an Abomination."
"An Abomination again... Do you humans have no new vocabulary? I am not one of the artificial intelligences you yourselves created. There is a fundamental difference between us!"
Pavian couldn't help but send a ...
Chapter 158: Sabaody, the Supernovas Assemble
Marine Headquarters, Marineford.
In an office at the top of the fortress, with a plaque that read "Justice Shall Reign Supreme,"
"What did you say?!"
Sengoku's face changed. He shot to his feet and stared at the Transponder Snail. "Is that really what Doflamingo said before he died?"
"That's right, Fleet Admiral," the Transponder Snail, with its cigar and brown hat, said, its expression grim. ...
Chapter 157: World, Are You Ready for My Return?
In front of the ancient castle, Shane quickly got the full story.
After parting ways with him on Drum Island, Kuma had, as per Kureha's advice, gone straight to Dressrosa in the New World. He had met with Doflamingo and had made a deal.
The terms were simple.
—Help Doflamingo with three tasks, and he could temporarily take Mansherry with him to the South Blue to treat Bonney.
The first tw...
Chapter 168: Lileep's Abilities
"Excaaa!"
"Brooonz!"
"Liii~"
Three flashes of red light, and the team was assembled: the mighty and domineering Excadrill, the calm and steady Bronzor, and the adorable new addition, Lileep.
"Liii~ Liii~" The moment it saw Excadrill, Lileep happily toddled over to its side. Excadrill, acting very much like a big brother, reached out a claw and gently patted Lileep's head in greeting.
"Where are we?" Bronzor'...
Chapter 167: The Miracle Seed is Secured
Soon, a group of seven or eight people from the Life Energy Bureau entered the room, many of them carrying scientific instruments. The leader was a middle-aged man with slicked-back hair and thick, metal-framed glasses. "Director," he said, greeting the head of the Weather Bureau respectfully.
"Ah, Summers," the Director replied with a casual nod from his seat on the sofa. This was Dr. Summers, the head of the Life En...
