Naruto: Blackbeard Template

"That man is troublesome, Monkey-chan. Remember, don't pick a fight with him~"

Hearing Shakky's warning, Brook nodded thoughtfully.

Luffy, however, was still Luffy.

"Really? He seems like a good guy to me. I probably won't punch him!"

As he said that, Luffy stretched out his arm, grabbed more food, and kept eating without a care in the world.

Shakky looked at him and couldn't help laughing softly.

Were all people with the name "D" like this?

Where did that confidence even come from?

After leaving Shakky's Rip-off Bar, Namikaze Kirito walked into one of Sabaody Archipelago's lively streets.

The island was loud, colorful, and full of life. Stalls lined both sides of the road, the scent of grilled meat, seafood, and sweet pastries mixing together in the air. No matter what food he saw, Kirito bought some and tried it.

It was a kind of enjoyment completely different from the shinobi world.

Back in the Naruto world, there had always been a weight pressing down on him.

When he was young, he fought to revive his parents. After that, he unified the shinobi world, faced Uchiha Madara, Obito, and Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, then eventually stood against the very order of the world itself.

There had never truly been a time when he could relax.

But now, the people he cared about in the shinobi world were safe.

And he had arrived in a new world.

For the first time, Kirito felt as if he was experiencing a way of living he had never tried before.

At Shakky's bar, after meeting Luffy, the child of destiny in this world, Kirito had noticed something faint around him.

It was scattered and incomplete, but Luffy carried the blessing of the world's order.

Kirito had once felt that same kind of power from his younger brother, Uzumaki Naruto.

Back then, he had not understood what that power was.

But now, things were different.

If he stayed close to the protagonist's group, he should be able to gather the power of the world's order much faster.

Unlike the Naruto world, this Great Pirate Era was overflowing with heroes.

In the shinobi world, only a few existed under that special blessing: Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke, and Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.

But this world was different.

Every great name on the sea might carry a trace of the world's power.

That was simply the nature of this era.

And if he wanted to obtain more of that power quickly, then aside from approaching the Straw Hat Pirates, the fastest path would be the Summit War.

Kirito did not dislike Whitebeard or Ace.

In fact, he found both of them rather interesting.

But Namikaze Kirito was not some saint who rushed to prevent every tragedy before it happened.

If he appeared at the scene and happened to be in a good mood, perhaps he would lend a hand.

"Boss, bring me your best dishes."

Kirito entered a restaurant that seemed to be the busiest on the street.

A place with this many customers had to taste good.

Thinking that, he found an empty table and sat down.

At the same time, his Observation Haki quietly swept across the restaurant.

Sure enough, there were plenty of familiar faces.

The Supernovas.

Right now, they were eating and drinking without a care. Once Kizaru arrived, most of them would probably be beaten so badly they would cough up everything they had just swallowed.

Kirito had no intention of approaching them for now.

He simply ate on his own.

However, just because he was not paying attention to others did not mean others were not paying attention to him.

Capone Bege, the Mafia boss of the One Piece world, and Jewelry Bonney, the gluttonous princess, both looked toward the handsome, extraordinary man who had entered the restaurant.

Not everyone was as carefree as Luffy.

Anyone who could become a Supernova had strength, instincts, and judgment. Without those, none of them would have survived long enough to make a name for themselves on this sea.

Kirito had not released any aura.

Even so, the moment they looked at him, a faint chill ran through their hearts.

Pirates who lived with death at their backs trusted their instincts more than anything.

Across the street, one of the Supernovas, Basil Hawkins, stood hidden in the shadows. Through the glass, his emotionless eyes watched Kirito calmly eating.

The cards in his hand shifted again and again.

"This man's fate cannot be read," Hawkins murmured. "It is covered in fog."

While Kirito was enjoying his meal, Camie's kidnapping still happened just as it was meant to.

Before long, the Straw Hat Pirates received the news and began moving to rescue her.

The incident involving the Celestial Dragons was about to begin.

Only this time, there was one more person on Sabaody Archipelago.

Namikaze Kirito.

And he had never liked the Celestial Dragons.

Naturally, he had no intention of missing such an entertaining scene.

After finishing his meal and asking a passerby for directions, Kirito walked toward the auction house.

It was almost laughable.

This place was so close to Marine Headquarters.

Yet under the banner of justice, the Marines ignored human trafficking on this island simply because the so-called descendants of the world's creators—the Celestial Dragons—allowed it.

No matter how he looked at it, it was pathetic.

At the auction house, the Straw Hat Pirates and Hachi were watching the stage with grim expressions.

Franky lowered his voice.

"So, what's the plan?"

Nami's expression was tense, but her eyes were clear.

"We still have treasure on the ship. If we gather everything together, it should be around two hundred million."

Nami loved money more than anyone.

But in that moment, she did not hesitate.

She turned to Hachi, who was already panicking.

"How much does a mermaid usually sell for?"

Hachi's face twisted in anxiety.

"That much should be enough… but I can't let you pay that kind of money for Camie!"

Nami immediately snapped back, "What are you talking about, Hachi? Are you Camie's guardian or something?"

"N-No, but…"

"Then it doesn't matter how much it costs." Nami's voice sharpened. "We're getting our friend back."

"Of course!" Luffy said without hesitation. "Camie's our friend!"

Hachi and Pappag stood at the side, tears swelling in their eyes.

"I'll never forget this debt!"

Nami smiled at them, then turned her eyes back to the auction stage.

Behind her, Sanji was already trembling with emotion, his eyes practically turning into hearts.

At the same time, news spread across the island.

Today's newspaper carried a headline that shook every pirate who saw it.

Fire Fist Ace was going to be publicly executed.

Many pirates finally understood why Sabaody's security seemed strangely thin today. It was not that Marine Headquarters had grown careless.

Most of their forces were preparing for the war that was about to come.

Whitebeard was famous across the sea for protecting his family.

Now that the Marines had captured Ace, there was no chance Whitebeard would stay silent.

War was already unavoidable.

Inside the auction house, an unwelcome guest had arrived.

A Celestial Dragon was beating his slave in public.

The people around him watched in silence.

Some looked disgusted. Some looked angry. But no one dared to say a word.

Because even scratching a Celestial Dragon would summon the highest fighting force of Marine Headquarters.

An Admiral.

Even the most lawless pirates would not casually invite that kind of disaster.

Then the auction reached its climax.

Music began to play.

The staff pushed a round tank onto the stage, covered beneath a white cloth.

The host raised his voice, his tone full of exaggerated excitement.

"I believe many of you have been waiting for this! Please take a good look at this beautiful figure!"

As he spoke, countless lights shone toward the stage.

Behind the white cloth, Camie's unmistakable mermaid silhouette appeared before everyone.
