"Lord Tsuchikage, what should we do?"
After Ōnoki's words fell, the Anbu kneeling on one knee immediately asked for instructions.
In response, Ōnoki quickly issued the Tsuchikage's order, saying, "Don't get entangled in a fight for now. Have everyone retreat from the border defense line. Also, on the way back, send the daimyo to the secret shelter."
"These pirate outsiders are not fighting for a country like other ninja villages."
"Instead of saying their target is us, it's more like their target is the entire Land of Earth, so I can't let anything happen to the daimyo."
"...Yes!"
Hearing Ōnoki's order, the Anbu quickly lowered his head and answered respectfully.
Before he could leave with a body flicker, Ōnoki, as if he had thought of something, continued to add, "Also, take a squad and see if there's a chance to capture a few pirates from another continent alive. Bring them back to the village and use mind-based Yin Release ninjutsu to dig out all their intelligence."
"Before the mission to the Golden Nation returns, and before we start an all-out war with the other party, I need to understand the energy similar to chakra from another continent, and what those special abilities similar to Kekkei Genkai are!"
"...Yes, Lord Tsuchikage."
The Anbu answered again, then transformed into an afterimage and disappeared from the Tsuchikage's office.
After the Anbu left, the frown on Ōnoki's brow still did not relax. Instead, a look of worry that could not be seen by his subordinates appeared, "Why do I have an ominous premonition? Could there be a problem with my arrangements?"
Little did he know, Ōnoki had not made a mistake in his arrangements.
His order had, on the contrary, saved the lives of most of the Iwagakure ninjas at the border, as well as the daimyo and ninjas of the daimyo's residence.
Just as Ōnoki had analyzed, the Blackbeard Pirates were not a gentle existence like the Big Mom Pirates.
The reason Charlotte Linlin had not held the emperor hostage to command the nobles was because she didn't understand this world enough and could only start with Kirigakure.
Now, Charlotte Linlin's first victory, although it had stimulated Blackbeard and Kaido, had also made them lose their awe for this world.
Just as he looked down on Charlotte Linlin.
Since even Charlotte Linlin could successfully occupy one of the five great ninja villages, how could he not?
It was for this reason that he had completely lost his awe and apprehension for the unknown of the country and ninja village he had drawn.
A pirate crew without awe and apprehension would expose the true nature of a pirate.
Especially Blackbeard, who had lurked for decades and had only reached the top in just two short years. As long as he could win, he would do anything, no matter how shameless.
In his words, life was a gamble.
Every choice and battle was a big gamble.
As long as he could win, what was cheating?!
Ōnoki, who did not know that he was being targeted by the most pirate-like pirate crew, his decision had undoubtedly saved the Iwagakure ninjas on the border defense line.
But his ominous premonition also came from the most pirate-like Blackbeard Pirates.
Rumble rumble...
Around the Five Great Nations, there were countless small countries and small ninja villages.
Among them, some small countries and small ninja villages were slightly famous and were qualified to receive invitations to the Chūnin Exams held by the five great ninja villages.
But more ninja villages, rather than being ninja villages, were more like ronin organizations that had chakra and could use ninjutsu.
Without fame, no one would entrust them with missions.
So the only way to make money was to do some bounty missions.
So, these unknown small ninja villages could also be seen as the bounty hunter organizations of the Naruto world.
They had no fixed territory, or rather, no territory of their own, and could only be stationed in the territory of a great nation, or on the territory of a small country near a great nation.
The small ninja villages occupied by the Big Mom Pirates and the Blackbeard Pirates were such existences.
The new Beehive of the Blackbeard Pirates was in the territory between the Land of Earth and the Land of Bears.
This position was not far from the border of the Land of Earth.
Therefore...
When the team of about two thousand people advanced towards the Land of Earth together.
The high-profile actions of the Blackbeard Pirates were not only known to Iwagakure of the Land of Earth, but also to the surrounding small countries.
Since these small countries knew, then it naturally couldn't be hidden from those great nations.
So, the other great ninja villages, including the Land of Iron, which was sandwiched between the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning and had always remained neutral, all turned their gazes towards the Land of Earth.
With a reconnaissance method that even the Observation Haki of the high-level Blackbeard Pirates could not detect, they watched the every move of the Blackbeard Pirates.
Then the entire ninja world was completely scared by the strength displayed by the Blackbeard Pirates.
It was unknown whether it was to vent the anger of being scared, because he was more than one step behind Charlotte Linlin, or to intimidate the subordinates with their own schemes behind him, as well as the natives of this world...
Looking at the border fortress ahead, Blackbeard, just like Elizabello II in the pirate world, who had become famous in the New World with his family's treasured sword and his King's Punch.
With just one punch...
Blackbeard broke through the fortress of the Land of Earth.
The entire land was plunged into a violent earthquake.
That earthquake, with its astonishing coverage area, could only be compared to a natural disaster.
Like a swordsman's flying slash, and the destructive range of Charlotte Katakuri's fruit awakening, in this world, they were all at the level of an S-rank ultimate move in terms of physical destruction.
The punch that Blackbeard used to break through the fortress, in the eyes of the ninjas guarding the border, could probably only be compared to the Tailed Beast's energy-based Tailed Beast Bomb.
Little did they know, this was just a serious punch from Blackbeard, not his full-power punch.
In addition, the land of the Ninja Continent was very vast, and its quality could not be compared to an island, which was why Blackbeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit did not have an earth-shaking visual impact.
If Blackbeard had drawn the Land of Water, then Kirigakure would surely have seen what was called a world-destroying jutsu.
Even so, the strongest Paramecia, the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, in the eyes of those Iwagakure ninjas, was also a super ninjutsu that could destroy the earth.
Without any resistance, the Iwagakure ninjas who had received the notice from above unhesitatingly abandoned the border fortress and concentrated all their forces in one point, which was their village.
