Chapter 182 - 182

Kirito was familiar with the plot of the One Piece world.

At this point in time, the protagonist's crew should have already reached the Sabaody Archipelago.

And soon after that…

The Summit War would begin.

Marineford.

Even if he still had not decided exactly what he should do in this world, one thing was certain.

Since he had come here to obtain the power of this world, then that war was something he had to witness with his own eyes.

For now, he would make contact with the protagonist's crew first.

"Mm?"

The moment that thought crossed his mind, Namikaze Kirito suddenly sensed something strange.

Logically speaking, after reaching the Six Paths level, he should have been able to fly freely with a single thought. Even a space-time technique like Yomotsu Hirasaka should have been within his grasp.

But now, the power inside his body felt as though it had been restrained.

Of course, his raw physical strength, Wood Style, and constitution had not been suppressed.

Perhaps powers that had not reached the level of "world authority" were unaffected.

His Conqueror's Haki was also fine. Since it belonged to the laws of the pirate world, there was no rejection.

However, his Rinnegan had clearly been restricted. For the time being, he could not use it.

As for the Dark-Dark Fruit and Tremor-Tremor Fruit abilities, they had been sealed even more firmly.

That was understandable.

In this world, Blackbeard already possessed the Dark-Dark Fruit.

And Whitebeard had not died yet.

According to the order of this world, two identical Devil Fruits could not exist at the same time.

"So if I want to unlock the Dark-Dark Fruit and Tremor-Tremor Fruit, I'll have to go to the Summit War and find Blackbeard."

Kirito lifted his gaze toward the sky.

"As for the Rinnegan…"

Once he obtained part of this world's order, that problem should solve itself.

"Oh? You accepted that faster than I expected."

A small golden figure's voice suddenly echoed inside Namikaze Kirito's mind.

"Don't be so tense. This is only a method of communication. I am not staying inside your body."

The golden figure's tone was casual.

"You just arrived in a new world. Since you still don't understand everything here, I appeared to explain a few things."

"The order of this world is suppressing the power inside you. But with your current strength, even without world-level abilities, the powers you have already strengthened should be more than enough to stand above most people here, right?"

"Once you obtain part of this world's order, you will be able to face this world properly."

"Still, I advise you not to be careless."

"In your previous world, you likely did not fully understand this one either, did you?"

Kirito's eyes remained calm.

The golden figure continued.

"If a true crisis occurs, you can temporarily draw on the order of the Hokage world and release your full power."

"That is all. The rest, you can judge for yourself."

After saying that, the golden figure's presence vanished completely.

Kirito felt it carefully.

Sure enough, that aura was gone.

That was for the best.

He had no interest in keeping some mysterious existence inside his consciousness all the time.

At least that little golden figure understood boundaries.

Kirito quietly examined the power flowing through his body.

His chakra had not been completely sealed.

His physical body remained at its peak.

With Wood Style and Conqueror's Haki added on top of that, his Conqueror's Haki could already be used with full dominance.

If it came to a one-on-one fight, among the known strong figures of this world, there might not be anyone who could truly suppress him.

Of course, nothing was absolute.

He had not fought them personally yet.

And in his previous life, the One Piece story had not even reached its end.

Who knew what kind of terrifying powers were still hidden behind the curtain?

With that thought in mind, Namikaze Kirito walked leisurely through the island.

A new world had arrived.

The mysteries of the Hokage world had already been peeled open one by one.

Now, it was time to enjoy himself.

The island Kirito had landed on was not especially prosperous, but the streets were still lively. People came and went, filling the town with noise and movement.

Many of them could not help but glance at him.

Black trousers.

Black boots.

A white open-collared shirt.

A black coat draped over his shoulders.

And a red high ponytail swaying lightly in the sea breeze.

A few loose strands of hair fell across his forehead.

With his handsome face and unrestrained bearing, he looked less like an ordinary traveler and more like a young noble who had wandered into the wrong place.

In a nameless town like this, someone like him naturally drew attention.

Before long, a group of uninvited guests blocked his path.

The man at the front was large and rough-looking, with thick sideburns, dark skin, and scars carved across his face.

The moment the townspeople saw him, their expressions changed.

They were angry, but none dared to speak.

Some even looked at Kirito with sympathy.

"Oi."

The burly man grinned, revealing yellowed teeth.

"Where did this fancy brat crawl out from?"

He rested one hand on the pistol at his waist.

"You stepped onto my island. Don't tell me you forgot to pay the fee."

One of the pirates behind him sneered.

"That's right! You heard the captain! Hand over your valuables and get on your knees!"

Kirito looked at them for a moment.

So this was one of the local specialties of the pirate world.

Pirates.

But this was still the first half of the Grand Line.

There were not many truly dangerous monsters here.

As for the man standing in front of him…

Kirito did not even need to sense him carefully.

He was cannon fodder.

"Hey! I'm talking to you!"

Seeing Kirito ignore him, the pirate captain's face darkened.

He pulled out a flintlock pistol and aimed it straight at Kirito's head.

"You deaf or something, brat?"

"Noisy."

Kirito's gaze sharpened.

In the next instant, an invisible pressure swept through the street.

Crack.

The wooden stalls around them split apart.

The air itself seemed to freeze.

Conqueror's Haki.

The pirate captain's eyes rolled back instantly.

Foam gathered at the corner of his mouth, and his huge body collapsed to the ground with a heavy thud.

Behind him, his men followed one after another, dropping like puppets with their strings cut.

This was Kirito's first time using Conqueror's Haki in this world, so he had added a little extra force.

When these pirates woke up, whether their minds would still work properly was another question.

Only one young pirate remained standing.

His legs trembled violently as he stared at the scene in disbelief.

His captain had fallen.

His companions had fallen.

And the man in front of him had not even moved.

What was this?

Before he could understand, Kirito had already walked up to him.

There was even a faint smile on his face.

"Ah… ahh…"

The pirate dropped his weapon with a clatter and fell backward onto the ground.

A moment later, he finally reacted and slammed his forehead against the dirt.

"P-Please spare me! I'm sorry! I didn't know who you were!"

Kirito looked down at him.

"Stand up."

The pirate froze.

"I'm not interested in your life."

Kirito's tone remained calm.

"I just need a ship. Take me somewhere."

The pirate immediately understood.

He had survived.

He scrambled to his feet, nodding so quickly his head almost blurred.

"Y-Yes! Of course! Our navigator is still at the ship!"

He forced an ugly smile onto his face.

"Please come with me! Wherever you want to go, we'll take you there!"

Kirito glanced at him.

"Good."

The pirate swallowed hard and quickly led the way, not daring to look back even once.

Behind them, the street remained silent.

The townspeople stared at Kirito's back.

No one knew who he was.

But everyone understood one thing.

He was clearly not someone to trifle with.

No one on the island was foolish enough to call out to him again.
