Chapter 112
At this time, the Nine-Tailed Fox's eyes were extremely clear.
This is really not the Nine-Tailed Fox's fault. When Orochimaru and Shisui were fighting, they were also violent and wild. When Shanks appeared, his eyes became much clearer.
"Looking at it this way, I am the third person to survive the battlefield where Shanks appeared. Even the legendary dragon almost died at the hands of that guy."
At this time, the Nine-Tailed Fox thought about his own experience. What is the Eight-Tailed Fox? The other tailed beasts are all garbage, right?
Not right. Although the dragon is a legendary creature, he, the Nine-Tailed Fox, also has a legend. Is he, the Nine-Tailed Fox, weaker than the dragon?
At this time, the Nine-Tailed Fox also had his own ideas.
"If the current situation continues, the ninja world will probably become more and more troublesome.
Although Naruto is not as talented as other members of the Uzumaki clan, he is still pretty good..."
The Nine-Tailed Fox began to calculate Naruto. He really looked down on Naruto at the beginning.
But as he knew more and more, Naruto's identity became different.
Besides, Naruto was still a child at the time, and being sealed in Naruto's body was definitely not Naruto's wish.
The child was ignorant and was sealed for fun. How could he, the great Nine-Tails, care about the child?
The Nine-Tails' thoughts were overflowing, and the thoughts of others also changed.
"The strongest creature... even the strongest creature can't face Shanks's slash!!"
"That was Shanks's slash."
"But boss, didn't you just say that if you can get a stronger devil fruit, you won't be weaker than Shanks?"
Hearing the words of his subordinates, the captain's eyes narrowed, and a faint confidence of a strong man appeared in his eyes.
"Who said that? No matter how strong the power of the devil fruit is, it will always be weak in the hands of the weak.
Only the strong can truly control the devil fruit, and the real strong, no matter what ability, will not be weak."
When Orochimaru appeared, everyone was shocked by this terrifying devil fruit.
The legendary dragon, the creature in the myth came directly.
At this moment, how many people felt ashamed of their weak devil fruit abilities, and even began to regret it.
After Shanks appeared, the pirates thought Shanks could beat the opponent, but they didn't expect it to be in this way.
The legendary "dragon" couldn't even catch Shanks's slash.
"It seems that it's not just the devil fruit that is powerful, but also depends on who holds this power."
"Compared to those soldiers and ninjas, I think we, as pirates, can better exert the power of the devil fruit."
Ross Jess and Kagallo stood on the bow. At this moment, what they pursued was not just the power of the devil fruit.
Devil fruit alone is not enough, far from enough.
That man made them all see clearly that power also needs to be seen in whose hands.
"It seems that these weapons are useless to the strong."
Kagallo looked at the weapons on his ship and said with some entanglement.
"The weapon also depends on who holds it. As far as I know, Shanks' weapon is just an ordinary samurai sword."
Ross Jess on the side shook his head.
"The road ahead is still long, and we still have a long way to go."
On the other side, Zabuza felt cold all over after seeing Shanks' terrifying attack.
Fortunately, although he was arrogant and indifferent at the time, he had no intention of fighting Shanks.
"Captain, that... can you catch it too?"
"Catch it, catch it with your head?"
"Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to block that kind of attack, even if it is a natural fruit ability, it may not be able to block it."
Bai shook his head.
His current devil fruit ability development is not weak, even if facing that dragon, he has the ability to escape.
However, if he really faces Shanks, there is only one way to die.
"The gap is too big, the gap between us and those two people."
Bai shook his head to himself, and Zabuza on the side naturally understood that the other party was able to dodge, not because the other party was weak, but because Shanks was too strong.
At this time, Kidomaru and others who were still running away accelerated their pace.
"Is Lord Orochimaru okay?"
"No, I've already made preparations for Lord Orochimaru before I left."
Kabuto on the side opened the scroll that Orochimaru gave to Kimimaro, which simply asked them to spread the information about the dragon veins of the Wind Country, so that more people could be attracted there.
The only use of this plan was to interfere with Shisui and Itachi, but who knew that these guys all became Devil Fruit users.
Kabuto looked at his broken arm and urged.
"Go find Dake, let's leave quickly.
Although Lord Orochimaru will be okay, even if we use the power we prepared, we may not be able to defeat Shanks."
Kabuto said.
Under the glasses, Kabuto's eyes were extremely calm. It was not that he might not be able to defeat Shanks, but... he would definitely not be able to defeat him.
But that was Orochimaru's only chance, and Kabuto didn't think that Orochimaru would give up this opportunity. Since he had become the strongest creature, Orochimaru would definitely struggle to become the "strongest".
At the same time, at the mine of the Gray Stone.
Hyde and Timothy also arrived at the mine.
"I didn't expect that this time the mine was unexpectedly smooth."
"It's good that we didn't encounter any pirates. Once we open the mine, we can end the war in the Kingdom of Wind, Timothy."
Hyde's eyes exuded greedy desires, without any concealment.
As for the thunder and lightning in the sky, they were not concerned at all.
But at this moment, a figure fell from the sky.
"Hyde!!"
Dark looked at Hyde and the young Timothy in the distance. At this time, Timothy looked at Dark with a vigilant face.
"Lord Hyde, that man is very strong. I will help you stop him."
Facing Hyde and Timothy, Dark had only one thought in his mind, that is, how to lose to these two people so that Timothy can fully open the mine.
As for what is happening in the Kingdom of Wind now, this is no longer something Dark needs to care about.
Similarly, Hyde and Timothy don't care about the Kingdom of Wind. For them, the Dark in front of them is the most important thing they need to solve.
At this time, most of the powerful people in the Wind Country, even the shadows of the five major ninja villages, received the news and rushed towards Loulan.
Kimimaro and others rushed towards the direction of the Grayer Stone Mine, and the entire ninja world was in chaos.
And Orochimaru, who was in the center of the battlefield, looked at Shanks unwillingly.
Kabuto was right, this was his only chance, the only chance in his life.
Originally thought that becoming a dragon would allow him to compete with Shanks, but Orochimaru never expected that the gap between them would be so big.
"Clang!!"
Shanks's blade vibrated, and the black blade slowly retracted into the scabbard.
"The upper limit you broke through is the upper limit of this world, not my upper limit."
Shanks looked up at the sky. Orochimaru now only has the qualifications to challenge him. The so-called qualifications are just a threshold.
"Your upper limit is my lower limit, and where is my upper limit, I hope, Orochimaru, you can let me see it."
The sun shone on Shanks, and there was no arrogance on Shanks' face, as if he was talking about something insignificant.
But it is precisely this kind of normality that is the real "dominance" of Shanks.
Of course, what he said is also true, because even Shanks himself does not know where his limit is.
"A world with only one Four Emperors is too boring. I hope you can ascend to the position of the Four Emperors, Orochimaru."
"However, I am afraid that you are not qualified to touch the position of the Four Emperors now."
Shanks' tone was calm, and even the breath on his body was restrained.
"Hehehehahaha!!!"
"Really? Shanks."
The sun shone down from the top of Orochimaru's head, and his head was in a shadow, looking particularly embarrassed.
That sacred and majestic body also looked dim and embarrassed at this time.
"However, this may be my only chance in this life. No matter what method I use, even if I use all means, I will do my best to defeat you, Shanks!!"
Orochimaru roared.
The next moment, the white tissue near the dragon vein seemed to come alive, and these white "snake skins" jumped into the chakra erupted from the dragon vein.
This is not Orochimaru's power, but the last back-up plan that Kabuto prepared for Orochimaru before leaving.
Since it is impossible to do it by relying on the power of the devil fruit alone, let's see the power of the devil fruit and the fairy method of the Ryuchi Cave!!
"Any means necessary?"
"Well, the strong in the new world should be like this!!"
Hearing Orochimaru's words, Shanks did not look down on Orochimaru at all, but his eyes were full of admiration.
The strong in the new world should be like this, let Shanks see it again.
"Come on, Shanks!!"
"Don't die, Orochimaru!!"
As the power of the dragon vein poured into Orochimaru's body, Shanks's knife was unsheathed again.
"Who do you look down on, Shanks!!"
Orochimaru's body swelled again, and the huge claws came down in anger, directly smashing Shanks into the ground.
At this moment, Orochimaru has connected the power of the dragon vein to himself and has become stronger!!
Chapter 126 I got into trouble, but it wasn't me
At this time, Orochimaru's body had reached an extremely powerful level. If we have to make an analogy, the vitality of Orochimaru's body is as high as the sky.
Moreover, this is not just a matter of height, but a direct connection to a part of the world's natural chakra, that is, the power of the dragon vein.
It is equivalent to letting the power of the world as a backing. If Shanks wants to kill Orochimaru, he must cut off the world's power.
But Shanks now... can't do it.
The dragon vein is deposited with the real world consciousness, not the kind of vague, not much autonomous consciousness.
"Dang!!"
A flash of knife light cut Orochimaru's huge body away, and a huge scar appeared on Orochimaru's body, but the next moment, the scar disappeared automatically.
Not healing, but disappearing.
"Sure enough... Although I can't be completely immune to Shanks's damage, at least I am immune to 90%. The remaining 10% is enough for my body to resist."
Orochimaru raised his head and looked at Shanks in the distance. This was his last chance.
Although I can't beat you, Shanks, don't even think about killing me. As long as you can't kill me, I have a chance to turn defeat into victory before you kill me.
"Shanks, come on!!"
