Chapter 095

The night in Konoha passed as usual.

Only this time, Ichiraku Ramen, the most famous ramen restaurant in the Leaf, was being challenged by two ramen lovers.

Teuchi, the head of the restaurant, had no choice but to give it his all to face the tremendous appetite of these two individuals.

.....

The next day

Amegakure no Sato

In a magnificent tower, where all the residents of this country worshiped to the fullest, sat a figure under the rain.

Pain

Leader of the Akatsuki Organization, which is making waves worldwide and also the undisputed leader of this Hidden Village.

"Itachi warned us that this place wasn't so simple. Was it worth sending Kakuzu and Deidara?"

A melodic female voice resonated behind the figure lost in his thoughts.

"Keep investigating. If there's still no news in a week, I'll personally go."

The figure's voice was hoarse, completely devoid of emotions.

"If that's the case, there's no need for a village like that, which disrupts the order of this world, to continue existing."

The figure disappeared in a blink after these words.

The place fell silent again after this.

With the woman lost in her thoughts.

"I'm sorry, Nagato, this time will be different."

.....

In an unknown place

"Deidara, get your ass up."

An angry Kakuzu woke up and roared at his blond partner.

"Argh, my head hurts so much. Damn it! I'm going to tear apart all the Uchiha, they're so arrogant."

Deidara woke up with Kakuzu's scolding and got up.

He looked around and his annoyance only grew.

"Where the hell are we?"

He had never seen a place like this before.

In the end, it seemed like they were completely surrounded by sea.

In other words, they were in the middle of an island.

Kakuzu also focused on figuring out their location, but a small piece of paper on the ground caught his attention.

He picked it up and looked at it closely.

"A 'Wanted' poster?"

Being a heavyweight in the underworld, he had never seen a poster like this before.

But when he saw the bounty, his eyes widened significantly.

[WANTED: DEAD OR ALIVE]

[ARLONG]

[20,000,000]

Kakuzu was speechless.

Since when did the black market become so generous?

Twenty million Ryō for a guy with the word "weak" tattooed on his face.

This guy, whom he had never heard of, was almost reaching the same bounties as heavyweights in the bingo book.

"Help!"

A cry woke Deidara and Kakuzu from their thoughts.

Looking over there, they could see in the distance a group of creatures intimidating a group of humans.

Two girls clung tightly to an injured woman.

"It's lively over there."

Deidara said excitedly.

He wasn't interested in these things, but he had never seen this kind of human species in his long life as a criminal, which, in the end, made it obvious their tremendous physical power.

So the first thing that came to his mind was whether they were capable of withstanding his art.

He was about to talk to Kakuzu, but unexpectedly, Kakuzu beat him to it.

At a terrifying speed, Kakuzu headed towards the party.

He extended his right arm and it detached from his body.

An alarming amount of black threads propelled his forearm towards his target.

"Hehehehe."

Arlong, who was enjoying his tyranny over these innocent villagers, didn't even feel the immense killing intent heading towards him.

It wasn't until something pierced through his chest that he snapped back to reality.

"Arggg"

He spat out a mouthful of blood in the process.

He turned his head towards the attacker....

And only saw a man in a red cloud cloak slowly approaching him.

Hatchan, Kuroobi, and Chew, his commanding officers, reacted quickly.

"Insolent human, how dare you!"

Kuroobi, a sturdy Gyoyin, stepped forward and tried to cut down the human who appeared out of nowhere.

However, a small dove flew in front of his face.

"Katsu~!"

~BOOM~

His face was instantly bombarded.

He was sent flying by the explosion, completely unconscious.

"What the hell...."

Hatchan and Chew were speechless.

Where did these humans come from?

By their attire, they don't seem to be from the navy, let alone pirates.

What is obvious is that they are Devil Fruit users.

They never expected to encounter two formidable Devil Fruit users in this small place in the East Blue.

"Hey, you're mine."

Deidara was initially annoyed because Kakuzu beat him to it, but now with the audience's faces filled with surprise in awe of his art, his annoyance faded.

"Arlong, a bounty of 20,000,000 Ryō, I must admit you've been hiding quite well."

"But this time you're unlucky to encounter me."

Kakuzu had a psychological problem.

He saw money instead of people.

Since he identified Arlong, he had become a walking sign of money.

And naturally, he wouldn't let this opportunity pass.

"Who the hell are you?"

Arlong tried to move, but it was impossible, he couldn't even move his fingers.

In a few seconds, Kakuzu had already taken control of Arlong's body with the help of his threads.

"The dead don't need to know much, you just need to know that your bounty is quite juicy, enough to make me mobilize."

Kakuzu perfectly controlled his threads to securely hold Arlong.

His face turned towards the redhead woman with two girls in tow.

"What country is this?"

Kakuzu was a man of few words, even with women.

"Country?" Bell-mère, all bloodied, struggled to get up with Nami and Nojiko in tow.

"This is Cocoyashi Village, a place in the Conomi Islands, East Blue. If you mean a kingdom, no, there isn't one nearby, you have to sail by boat if you want to reach one."

Bell-mère explained carefully.

She had witnessed how Arlong was defeated in a matter of seconds, so she was very cautious in addressing this man.

However, at least he was more sociable than Arlong and his gang.

Kakuzu thought for a moment about all this information and then asked again.

"Where can I receive his reward?" he asked.

Bell-mère was confused to hear this question.

"Don't you know that you can claim rewards for pirates at any Marine branch?" she said.

"It's basic knowledge even for people from East Blue, who don't have much knowledge of what's happening in the world."

Bell-mère wondered if these guys had been living under a rock until now.

"If you want to exchange their heads, you can go to any Marine branch."

Kakuzu: "?"

Kakuzu pondered the woman's response and asked again.

"Are there any others here with money on their heads?"

Kakuzu's voice suddenly raised in tone.

Little Nami and Nojiko couldn't help but tremble, but Bell-mère held them tightly.

"Yes, there is a pirate group called the Gyoyin, highly capable individuals. Their total reward should be around 40 million Baileys."

Bell-mère made an estimate.

"Baileys?"

Another strange term for Kakuzu.

By now, he knew that the place he was sent to by that guy was far away from the Elemental Nations.

Where the currency was Ryo.

However, one thing would never change for him.

Money is money.

Even if it's in hell.

"Deidara, don't kill them."

Kakuzu quickly remembered just after hearing the good news from the woman.

Deidara didn't pay attention and continued playing with his prey.

However, he had taken Kakuzu's words into account.

Meanwhile, Kakuzu turned to the woman again.

"I don't consider myself a savior, I simply wanted to take this guy's head for his reward. But if you answer my questions honestly, I can leave without charging a fee for my services."

Kakuzu said shamelessly.

Even Bell-mère was surprised by his audacity.

But she didn't show any signs of discontent, after all, she was sure Arlong was going to kill her.

She had to value her new life given to her.

"Sure, you can come to my house, I'll tell you everything you want to know."

By now, Nami and Nojiko had fallen asleep in the arms of their adoptive mother.

The shock of today was too much for girls like them.
