Chapter 8: Me, from a Magical World

Tiger's bounty was significantly higher than the 230 million berries in the original plot, which goes to show just how ruthless the fire Chu Yang set really was!

The Navy had yet to send anyone to encircle and suppress the Sun Pirates, all because the losses at Mary Geoise were too catastrophic, and all available manpower had been immediately diverted to post-disaster reconstruction efforts.

This could be considered a stroke of luck in misfortune, granting Chu Yang time to grow and giving him the ability to protect his own safety.

Time flew by.

Nearly a month later, the Navy's pursuit arrived, and Chu Yang, with Jinbe's help, had successfully learned Armament Haki.

On the seas of the New World, the Sun Pirates were surrounded by five warships, leaving no room for escape.

The enemy came with aggressive momentum, and the crew members all understood that they were in for a tough fight today.

Everyone, including Arlong, didn't show a shred of cowardice; they were truly prepared to fight the Navy to the bitter end.

Not a single Fish-Man would allow their spiritual leader, Fisher Tiger, to be captured by the Navy.

With the great battle imminent, Tiger suddenly walked over to Chu Yang and said, "I didn't expect that keeping you here would cause you trouble instead. If there's any problem later, just take a small boat and leave."

"Except for you, everyone on this ship is a Fish-Man; they don't need a ship to escape."

Chu Yang glanced at Tiger and did not agree.

If the situation turned dire, he would certainly leave, but he would definitely go on a killing spree before doing so.

Since he couldn't take revenge on the Celestial Dragons for the time being, it wouldn't stop him from venting his anger on the Navy.

Jinbe, standing nearby, said, "Big Brother Tiger, we will absolutely not abandon you and run away on our own."

Tiger looked around; everyone shared the same attitude as Jinbe. Seeing that persuasion was futile, he could only focus his attention on commanding the crew for battle.

The Navy had an advantage over 90% of pirates in terms of artillery, and it was an overwhelming advantage at that.

Therefore, artillery bombardment was a mandatory procedure before boarding combat.

The five warships completely sealed off the five directions of the Sun Pirates, and then opened fire in unison; the roaring sound alone was deafening.

"Watch out for the cannonballs, or our ship is finished!" Jinbe roared, jumping into the sea. He unleashed Fish-Man Karate in the water, grabbing the currents with both hands as if they were solid objects.

Jinbe pulled hard, and the currents swirled continuously, forming a thick water tornado.

With a shoulder throw from Jinbe, this water tornado was ejected directly, forming a violently surging water curtain on the side of the ship, blocking a large number of cannonballs.

The other side of the ship, however, was not so lucky; it was empty, with no protection whatsoever.

Some radical Fish-Men even wanted to use their own bodies to block the cannonballs to ensure the safety of the mast.

Just at this critical moment, Chu Yang appeared, clapped his hands together, and began to weave hand signs.

During this time, not only had he been learning Haki, but he had also been extracting chakra every day to practice Wood Release.

Chu Yang was no longer the rookie who had just escaped from the Holy Land; he could now perform some difficult ninjutsu.

Chu Yang activated Wood Release, and giant shields woven from trees and vines rapidly grew on both sides of the deck, covering most of the ship's hull.

[Wood Release: Wood Wall]

Cannonballs fell like raindrops onto the wooden shields, sparks flying everywhere. Surprisingly, the wooden shields were incredibly tough, actually withstanding the bombardment of the cannonballs, leaving only a few faint cracks.

"I underestimated the power of Wood Release!"

Seeing this, Chu Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

He had already mentally prepared himself for the giant wooden shields to be shattered by the artillery fire.

"Well done, Chu Yang!" Tiger shouted, overjoyed. "Brothers, Brother Chu Yang has blocked all the enemy's cannonballs! Let's find a way to get the ship moving, break through the enemy's encirclement, and then fight."

Even if the Navy had exhausted all their artillery fire on the wooden shields, the disparity in strength between the two sides was still vast, and rashly falling into boarding combat would still be disadvantageous.

Therefore, the Sun Pirates absolutely could not fight the Navy within the encirclement.

Jinbe leaped back onto the ship from the sea, glanced at the Wood Wall firmly protecting the ship overhead, and said, "Big Brother Tiger, we can't raise the sails right now; we can only use the currents to propel the ship forward."

Tiger nodded, then stood at the stern with Jinbe.

The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, each unleashed Fish-Man Karate, using the recoil of the water flow to push the pirate ship forward at high speed.

Chu Yang wasn't idle either.

He used Wood Release to create a pair of giant spear-shaped rams at the bow of the ship.

When the pirate ship broke through the encirclement, that pair of giant rams directly capsized the warship directly in front of them.

The warship, broken in half, gradually sank into the seabed like the Titanic, and the Navy sailors on board fell into the water like dumplings.

A cheer erupted in Chu Yang's ears!

After successfully breaking through, Chu Yang dispelled the Wood Release, the crew raised the sails again, and Jinbe took the helm, using his superb skills to quickly put distance between them and the Navy warships.

Tiger walked over to Chu Yang, patted him on the shoulder, and was about to say something, but noticed that Chu Yang looked dazed.

At this moment, Chu Yang's consciousness, following that mysterious mist, returned to the palace.

The Chu Yang from the Naruto world had been waiting for a long time.

And on the vacant throne, another figure had appeared!

Yet another "self"!

The Naruto Chu Yang walked up happily to stand face-to-face with the Pirate Chu Yang, and the "New Chu Yang" sitting on the throne also walked over.

The memories of the three were shared once again.

After a while, the Naruto Chu Yang and the Pirate Chu Yang stared at the latter in surprise!

He was Chu Yang from the Harry Potter magic world!

The Magic Chu Yang had just received an invitation from Hogwarts during the holidays and had not yet officially enrolled; he was still just an orphan in an orphanage.

The Magic Chu Yang said happily, "I didn't really want to go to Hogwarts at first. After all, although I yearned for it, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to handle it, but I'm not afraid anymore."

The Naruto Chu Yang nodded in agreement, "I completely understand your thoughts. I was scared to death when I first transmigrated to the era of war. Although there were opportunities, there was even more danger."

The Pirate Chu Yang said irritably, "You guys should be content. I was hung up and had a branding iron pressed against my chest; do you know how painful that was?"

The Naruto Chu Yang and the Magic Chu Yang shuddered simultaneously; they had already seen the scene from the Pirate Chu Yang's memories.

The Magic Chu Yang forced a smile and apologized, "Anyway, now that I have your abilities, I can go to Hogwarts to learn magic with peace of mind."

The Naruto Chu Yang sighed, "I hope the next one brings something useful; I can't keep getting a free ride from me every time..."

The Pirate Chu Yang laughed, "My cultivation speed has tripled; what more could you want? You really are never satisfied."

The Naruto Chu Yang put his arm around the Pirate Chu Yang's shoulder and said, "Brother, you really came through this time. Getting Armament Haki, combined with Wood Release, is just too strong. I happen to have a great use for it."

The Pirate Chu Yang asked in surprise, "Has the war started over there?"

The Naruto Chu Yang said excitedly, "It's probably the final battle before the village is established! I'm going to witness the founding of Konoha Village with my own eyes!"
