Kai stepped onto G-1 Branch's docks, completely unaware of the storm gathering against him.
Not that he'd care.
Defeating and recruiting the Seven Warlords had sent his reputation points skyrocketing. Combined with lingering fame from beating Whitebeard and becoming the Fourth Admiral—
Twenty million points.
He'd already synchronized Yang Release earlier. Which meant despite "only" having twenty million points, he could complete synchronization of his second ultimate power.
Yin-Yang Release.
The Tenseigan. Yin-Yang Release. Both ultimate powers from the Naruto world now fully integrated into this reality's laws.
I've recovered everything.
His peak strength from that world—restored.
Sure, auxiliary abilities like Amenominaka and various minor techniques remained unsynchronized. But those didn't affect combat power.
And with Ryūjin Jakka added to the mix?
I've surpassed my old limits.
Kai's perception expanded outward. Vague impressions crystallized into clarity.
The world origin.
He could sense it now. Imprisoned in Mary Geoise. And not just the Five Elders—
Three other presences.
Powerful enough to make even him feel a flicker of danger.
"Interesting." A smile crossed his face. "If the Five Elders were the ceiling, this world would be boring."
His full-power perception rippled outward—completely unconcealed.
Mary Geoise - World Government Headquarters
"What terrifying presence—" The blonde Elder's expression shifted.
"The direction..." The round-faced Elder frowned. Then his face went pale. "New World. G-1 Branch's location."
The bald Elder in white robes spoke slowly. "According to Sengoku's report, Admiral Kai Mitarashi recently departed for G-1 posting. I didn't expect..."
He trailed off, turning to the flat-capped Elder.
The leader's expression had gone grim.
"I didn't anticipate Kai Mitarashi would be this formidable." His voice came tight. "Completely on par with those three Celestial Dragon monsters."
He slammed a fist down.
"Damn it—where did this person come from? I ordered every intelligence agency to investigate. They found nothing before Windmill Village. Not a single trace!"
"Boss." The white-bearded Elder hesitated. "Could he be like the Celestial Dragons? From another world?"
"Impossible."
The flat-capped Elder shook his head sharply.
"If he came from another world, the world origin would have reacted immediately. Those Celestial Dragon bastards would have emerged already."
His eyes went distant.
"Eight hundred years ago, twenty Celestial Dragons fell into slumber at Laugh Tale because the world origin constrained them after their arrival. Without my intervention, they'd have withered away."
He leaned forward.
"And when they did awaken? The D Clan royalty detected them instantly. War broke out without questions. Invaders from other worlds are like black dots on white paper—obvious. Subject to the world's full assault."
His gaze hardened.
"Kai Mitarashi exists brazenly. The world origin shows no reaction. He's from this world."
He doesn't know about the system.
The white-robed Elder—hand resting on his cursed blade Kitetsu—spoke coldly. "Then should we eliminate him with full force?"
"No."
The leader's refusal came instantly.
"Completely unnecessary. If he's from this world, he can't escape the world origin's control." A calculating smile crossed his face. "Our greatest threat remains those three Celestial Dragon monsters."
He gestured dismissively.
"Kai Mitarashi has power matching theirs? Perfect. Let him fight the Celestial Dragons for us."
"Understood."
"We'll follow your lead."
"As you command."
The other four Elders nodded in unison.
Mary Geoise - Celestial Dragon Palace
Three elderly figures in bubble helmets opened their eyes simultaneously.
Surprise flickered across ancient faces.
"Not those five." The first spoke slowly. "And... completely on par with us."
He paused.
"Is this the world's final struggle? Sensing we're about to devour its origin?"
The three surviving Celestial Dragons from eight hundred years ago.
Silence stretched.
"No need to pay attention." The second's voice came flat. "Once we completely devour the world origin, this world's struggles become meaningless."
The third nodded.
"Under our full devouring, five years at most. We'll finish consuming the entire world origin."
The palace fell silent once more.
