Chapter 25 : Getting Ready to Act

Although Youta expressed disdain verbally, he did not oppose Ace taking out the food from the ship.

Even though he was a bit aloof and rational, he wouldn't refuse to help others when he had the ability to do so.

Anyway, the Beast Pirates should not be around now, so there was no need to worry about being captured by Kaido and thrown into a labor camp. Otherwise, Youta would have to persuade Ace to leave at least half of the food and then leave Wano immediately.

Although Kaido also had a heart for talents, he absolutely didn't have the patience of Whitebeard. His personality was much more violent, and with Ace's stubborn character, it wouldn't be surprising if he were killed by Kaido on the spot.

To put it bluntly, Ace's current strength was a bit premature for him to roam around the New World.

In the following days, the Black Spade Pirates stayed in the Straw Hat Village and took a break.

Ace also became good friends with a girl named Xiao Yu and learned how to weave straw hats.

This little girl was quite cute, and it was worth mentioning that her future life goal was to become a glamorous female ninja, which intrigued Youta, who was originally a ninja himself.

Especially after Youta demonstrated the Body Replacement Technique in front of her, this little girl pestered Youta to be her master.

People in the pirate world didn't have chakra, but chakra wasn't necessarily something that couldn't be passed on to the people of this world.

Just like in the Naruto world, where people didn't originally have chakra, it was the Sage of Six Paths who divided chakra among his followers, and chakra spread throughout the Naruto world afterward.

Even most of the Spirit Beasts, except for the Three Great Holy Lands, had chakra input into their bodies by humans, and generations of optimization resulted in those Spirit Beasts having chakra.

The definition of chakra itself was the fusion of spiritual energy and physical energy. In other words, as long as you had spiritual energy and physical energy, there was a possibility of producing chakra; you just needed a spark.

To put it in more concrete terms, if chakra were fire, spiritual energy would be oxygen, physical energy would be fuel, and the externally input chakra would be a small flame, just igniting the fire, allowing a person to have chakra forever.

However, first of all, although Youta's amount of chakra was not weak, it was still far inferior to that of the Sage of Six Paths. It would take at least several months to gradually adapt to chakra and possibly produce chakra by using chakra to nurture someone else's body.

Secondly, the people in the pirate world initially didn't have chakra genes, so even if they had the same amount of physical and spiritual energy, the amount of chakra produced was extremely thin.

If, under the same physical and spiritual energy, the Otsutsuki clan was equivalent to a nuclear reactor, then ordinary people in the Naruto world were equivalent to an internal combustion engine. As for the people in the pirate world... they could only be said to be close to a steam engine, and a leaking one at that.

These were the results of Youta's experiments in the Black Spade Pirates during this time. Although the members of the Black Spade Pirates were initially excited, they found that awakening chakra didn't have much effect after all the hard work.

The amount of chakra in these people's bodies, at most, could only be used for Shadow Clone Technique, and it seems to be related to the nature of people in the world of pirates. Their chakra control ability is extremely poor, and even the use of Shadow Clone Technique is almost as bad as Naruto in his student days, with no practical significance at all.

Moreover, people like Ace who have eaten Devil Fruits like the Flame-Flame Fruit cannot even produce chakra energy in their bodies. Youta doesn't know if it's because of the nature of Natural-type Devil Fruits or if all Devil Fruit ability users are like this, with himself being an exception as someone who initially had chakra.

In this situation, Youta was finally unable to bear the pestering from the little girl and tried to help her awaken her chakra.

To Youta's surprise, in just three days, the little girl had already awakened her chakra. This talent truly astonished him.

You should know that when he awakened his chakra, he had to painstakingly refine it for half a year! His body is a genuine ninja from the ninja world, having adapted to chakra over thousands of years.

Although if there is external chakra assistance, the awakening time can be shortened by ten or more times, he still needs at least one or two weeks to awaken. It can be seen from this that the talent of this little girl, even in the world of ninjas, should be considered quite good, even not inferior to those clan ninjas.

But now, with the food of the Black Spade Pirates also running out, Youta didn't have time to teach the little girl the Shadow Clone Technique, so in the end, he just gave her a scroll of secrets for the Shadow Clone Technique and set off on the journey with Ace.

Ace and Youta had already made up their minds to go to the Beasts Pirates and Black Charcoal Big Snake to plunder some food. In the past few days, the other members of the Black Spade Pirates had already thoroughly investigated the storage locations of these supplies in the Wano Country.

It must be admitted that although the Black Spade Pirates may not be as potential-rich as the Straw Hat Pirates, they are still very competent when it comes to executing plans.

Unlike the Straw Hat Pirates, although the crew members are very potential-rich, from top to bottom, except for Nico Robin, there is almost no one who is truly reliable, and everyone has their own personal flaws. The three main fighters, Sanji, Zoro, and Luffy, have flaws like womanizer, directionally challenged, and naivety, respectively. Basically, it's already considered good if they don't weaken their own strength before each battle, let alone execute any plans.

Looking at the detailed map in his hand, Youta finally realized the role of these crew members of the Black Spade Pirates.

In the past few days, the routes to several large warehouses and supply points in the Wano Country, guard personnel, retreat routes, and the quantity of supplies were all clearly written by these people. As long as the fighting power is sufficient, according to the plan, a large amount of supplies can be easily plundered.

In addition, the locations of several mining fields in the Wano Country and the locations of various mineral resources were also marked. Youta looked at the locations of the sake and iron ore mines, and had some ideas in his mind.

Especially on the Teacup Prison, his eyes turned several times.

"Let it go... The Armed Color Haki cultivation method of the Whitebeard Pirates is not inferior to that of the Wano Country... It's not worth taking this risk."

"Most importantly, these several prisons are Kaido's lifeline. It's not just because they can bring in a lot of profits, but also because most of his opponents are in there, and he can pull out an army of tens of thousands at any time and place."

"If we really do it, Kaido will definitely go crazy and hunt down the Black Spade Pirates."

However, there was already a vague idea in Youta's heart, like a seed buried in it.
