One Piece: I am Imu

Tengen didn't waste any time visiting Queen Sara.

Instead, he went straight to the top of the city walls, sweeping his gaze over the vast number of Kumogakure shinobi gathered outside.

Judging from their eager stances, it wouldn't be long before they launched an attack.

With the wind and sand swirling in the sky, and the boundless sea of desert stretching to the horizon, the whole scene gave off a stifling, almost suffocating, atmosphere of imminent bloodshed.

"Defense... looks like it won't hold."

Tengen calmly rubbed his chin, muttering to himself, "Then we'll have to go on the offensive. The question is... how?"

After a few seconds, a plan began to form in his mind.

He took a deep breath, puffing out his chest, and then shouted toward the direction of the Raikage's command tent.

"I am Uzui Tengen, a jōnin from Umigakure! May I request the presence of the Third Raikage of Kumogakure for a conversation? Let's talk about the survival of this country—Rōran—and the fate of your prisoners!"

His voice boomed across the land like thunder.

Whether it was the shinobi of Umigakure within the city or the Kumogakure forces outside, anyone within range grimaced in pain and clutched their ears tightly.
