Chapter 119
The new law was determined by the daimyo and nobles of the five major countries, and it is a law specifically targeting pirates.
In the new law, becoming a pirate means a capital crime, and those who provide assistance to pirates will also be severely punished.
After all, this is the first time that the nobles have been directly threatened. At any time in the past, the war in the ninja world would not affect the daimyo and nobles, at least the daimyo and nobles of the five major countries.
And with the proliferation of pirates, the status of the daimyo and nobles has also been greatly threatened, which is an impact that the previous ninja war would not have caused.
It is also because of this that the nobles of the five major countries will issue such a severe law.
Then, it was completely rejected by the shadows of the five major ninja villages.
If the third generation Hokage is a real political idiot, then the daimyo and nobles of the five major countries may not even know what politics is.
"Once the new law is passed, it will directly aggravate the current situation in the ninja world, which will cause greater chaos, and even allow pirates to directly launch reforms and overthrow the rule of the five major countries."
Subverting the five major countries is outrageous no matter how you think about it. Judging from the size of the five major countries, subverting a country does not exist.
But in fact, once such a strict law is passed, the pirates will inevitably unite and intensify the chaos in the ninja world.
And the power of pirates is not that simple.
As for the current largest intelligence organization, most of them are involved in pirate forces, and even the caravans in various places are related to pirates.
The simplest point is that the information that Cardo can get is all from the caravan.
And there are many pirates who have changed their jobs from merchants. Although some of them have become pirates, their families are still legitimate merchants.
At least for now, no evidence of the guilt of these families has been found.
So the current situation is actually a struggle between ninjas and pirates. Even if the daimyo and nobles oppose it, as long as the ninja village directly denies the decision of the daimyo, the nobles of the five major countries will have no choice.
This is the difference between the ninja world and the pirate world. The so-called world nobles in the ninja world have no greater use except symbolic significance.
The nobles and daimyo are just symbols of the country, and military power is the real power.
This is the reality, and it is also the reality that some people cannot see clearly.
The most obvious example is the Uchiha clan, which has been exterminated. Although they have powerful military force, they did not realize this, so they were killed by the "clumsy" political means of Danzo and others.
If the Uchiha clan had a few more people like Madara, not to mention strength, they only needed to have the courage to directly rebel against the village, which would be enough to tear apart such clumsy political means.
And now the pirates not only have such courage, but also such wisdom.
There are many wise men among the pirates, just the fact that Dark was able to gather tens of thousands of pirates to besiege Shanks can be seen.
Those guys are the ambitious people who have been hiding in the ninja world. When the external forces reach a certain level, the pirates will inevitably unite.
"Indeed, although the pirates have brought a lot of chaos, some of them have not done anything bad, and have not even killed anyone."
Jiraiya spoke helplessly. In the eyes of these ninjas, some of the pirates can be said to be completely innocent.
Ninjas have more blood on their hands than pirates, which is why some ninjas do not hate pirates, because they can see the blood on their hands.
But ninjas are ninjas after all.
There are even different beliefs among different ninjas. Even ninjas who do not want to be stained with blood will try their best not to fight with pirates.
Naruto followed Jiraiya and Wuwei, listening to their conversation. At the same time, everything Shanks had said echoed in his mind.
Everything Shanks had said was completely different from the conversation between Jiraiya and Wuwei.
In Shanks' words, there was never any blood and reality, but people's pursuit of freedom and the sea.
But in the conversation between Jiraiya and Wuwei at this time, Naruto saw the reality behind it, which seemed to reveal some coldness of reality.
As several people walked into the underground prison, under the dim light, a chill came.
Then there was the noise coming from each cell.
"Wuwei!! Let me out quickly, if you have the guts, let me out, let's fight one-on-one."
"Hahaha, you ninjas, one day when I get out, I will kill you all."
"My captain will come back to save me, you low-level ninjas, the times have changed, this is the era of pirates."
"..."
Hearing the noisy voices of these people, Wuwei frowned.
"Don't pay attention, those on the upper level are just some minions, the so-called pirates are all those who are imprisoned at the bottom."
Wuwei said, if these people were not pirates, they would not even be qualified to be imprisoned in this place.
And as they walked further and further down, the surroundings became quieter and quieter.
"The people imprisoned here are the real pirates of this era, the pirates who dared to attack that man."
After entering this floor, Wuwei's expression became serious, without any contempt.
Chapter 132 Jixian: That's all
"These people call themselves high-level pirates. They are on a par with ninjas and disdain the company of other pirates."
"But with their strength, they really don't need to be associated with other pirates."
Wuwei stopped. He didn't really want to contact those pirates. It wouldn't be good to have too much contact with those people, so he stopped where he was.
"Jiraiya-sama, if you want to see them, you can go see them in person. I won't go down."
"Um!"
Jiraiya nodded.
Pulled Naruto up.
"Naruto, let's go!"
Jiraiya knew who were imprisoned here. Compared with the people here, the group of people above, and even many people in the ninja world, could only be regarded as minions.
The pirates here are the real courage of this era.
At the same time, on the southern coast of the Kingdom of Wind, many pirates also left the Kingdom of Wind on boats.
Many pirates have evacuated one after another during this period. Those who evacuated at this time are more or less stranded until now due to some reasons.
At the very front of a large ship, a tall figure sat on the bow. The bulging muscles of his upper body stretched out his loose clothes. His long white hair was floating in the sea breeze.
As the hair was blown by the sea breeze, a pair of horns emerged from the hair.
The person in front of him was Orochimaru. It took him a long time to recover, and when he regained his human body, his whole person also changed drastically.
Today, he is equivalent to reshaping his soul and body. Even his appearance is only about 70% similar to before. There is more of a wild and majestic look between his eyebrows that belongs to a beast.
At this time, Orochimaru was looking at the navigation pointer in his hand in confusion.
“The only chance is gone.
Even if he reaches that level, he is still no match for that Shanks guy. This is no longer a physical difference at all. "
Orochimaru shook his head. Although he had an advantage in physical fitness, he also had an advantage in armament and Haki.
But Shanks' Overlord Haki and Knowledge Haki were too strong, coupled with his terrifying swordsmanship, he had no chance of winning against Shanks.
Even if you cheat, there is no way to defeat the opponent.
"Lord Orochimaru, where should we go back next?"
"Let's go to Longdi Cave first. As for the navigation pointer, there's no rush."
Orochimaru was not a fool. When he saw the navigation pointer on his hand, he already understood what was going on.
But now he no longer needs the power of dragon veins. There are more than 300 dragon vein points scattered on the sea.
Just two dragon vein points made the Kingdom of Wind what it is now. Orochimaru himself could not imagine what the sea would look like once all the more than three hundred dragon veins were stimulated.
"Sure enough, Shanks' guy's resourcefulness is always one step ahead of us. One step counts as a walk. Is this Shanks's domineering power of knowledge or his wisdom?"
Orochimaru looked at the scars on his body and realized that even the body of the strongest creature in the world could not stop Shanks' sword.
Although Orochimaru has just gained Devil Fruit abilities and there is still a lot of room for improvement, he can also feel that Shanks has been making progress.
It has obviously reached the strongest position in the world, but its strength is still improving, which makes people feel a little desperate.
But isn't this the feeling Shanks has always given everyone?
Rather than despair, Orochimaru is now looking forward to what will happen next. Since he can't beat Shanks, let's see what surprises Shanks has next.
With his thoughts at this point, Orochimaru's face also faced the sea, showing a hearty smile.
The moment they saw this smile, Kabuto Yakushi, Kimimaro, Kidomaru and others were stunned.
It was unimaginable that their Lord Orochimaru would actually show such a hearty smile.
As for Orochimaru, he has completely gotten rid of his former self and gained a true new life.
The ninja world and the world of pirates are already two completely different worlds.
The same is true for Orochimaru. The obsession that once belonged to him is over.
Whether it was chasing the legendary "dragon" or trying to defeat Shanks, it was all over. Now he still has new dreams.
"Lord Orochimaru, it seems that I haven't smiled like this in a long time."
"It's not that it's been a long time, but it's never been like this."
"..."
Kimimaro and Kidomaru couldn't help but complain. It was unimaginable that such an expression would appear on Orochimaru's face.
But it was even harder for Kabuto Yakushi to imagine that the person in front of him was Orochimaru.
"Lord Orochimaru has changed so much."
Kabuto sighed with emotion. Although he didn't have much contact with Shanks, even he could feel that Shanks' every move would affect the people around him.
Even Orochimaru will be affected by Shanks.
Looking at his empty sleeves, the gloom on Kabuto's face disappeared a little.
"so good."
Kabuto lowered his head, turned around and walked towards the cabin.
At this moment, Orochimaru's voice came.
"Kabuto, do you want to go to Ryūchi Cave with me?"
Orochimaru suddenly turned around, his tall figure looking down at Kabuto in front of him.
Kabuto's whole body was shrouded in the shadow of Orochimaru, but at this moment, Kabuto did not feel the slightest threat. Under this shadow, he no longer felt the same as before.
"What can I do to help you, Lord Orochimaru now?"
Kabuto said. For him, a broken arm was not necessarily a bad thing.
As a medical ninja, he was almost useless.
"With only one arm left, I don't even have the qualifications to perform ninjutsu on behalf of Lord Orochimaru, right?"
Kabuto shook his head. Seeing that Orochimaru had finally fulfilled his wish, Kabuto was also happy for Orochimaru.
At least, he didn't need to do anything for Orochimaru anymore.
"Is that so?"
Orochimaru didn't say anything more. Kabuto turned his back to everyone, nodded, and walked towards the cabin alone.
"I'm sorry, I was too weak and couldn't protect your hand."
Orochimaru's voice came again. At this time, the expression on Orochimaru's face was extremely serious, and he didn't mean to joke at all.
"Lord Orochimaru!!"
When Orochimaru said this, Kidomaru and the others were stunned.
Sakon and Ukon looked at Orochimaru with an incomprehensible expression. How could Lord Orochimaru, whom he had always admired so much, say such a thing?
"Lord Orochimaru, you don't need to apologize at all. Kabuto's hand..."
"Don't say it."
Kimimaro, who was next to Sakon and Ukon, stood up and said directly in a cold voice.
