Chapter 15 :Encountering the Navy

"So, that's why my celebration feast for getting on the ship was in Drum Island rather than onboard?" Youta commented, while eating the unappetizing food with a hint of disdain.

Ace looked at Youta in surprise, as if he was observing an alien. "Um... Our ship's chef is indeed a bit... well, Youta, you seem to be enjoying the food."

Rolling his eyes, Youta replied, "Sorry, I have two taste sensory systems. Besides the normal human taste, eating the Yomi Yomi no Mi activates another set of taste receptors. So far, I haven't found anything distasteful when using the Yomi Yomi no Mi ability."

"Wow, that's impressive," Ace muttered enviously. "You have no idea. Bonney's cooking is a disaster..."

"You scoundrel captain! Are you dissatisfied with my cooking?" A pot flew from afar and smashed onto Ace's head, sparking a shower of sparks.

"Hahaha! That's not what I meant."

Seeing Ace being chased by the female pirate, Youta couldn't help but smile.

"Although the Black Spade Pirates are nowhere near as good as the Straw Hat Pirates, at least the atmosphere on the two ships is pretty good."

Thinking like this, Youta's gaze turned to the crossover system in his mind.

"Indeed... the replenishment of energy in the crossover system is related to my involvement in the plot!"

"When I was in the Naruto world, it took a full five years for the crossover energy to fully replenish. But in this world, I remember when I ate the Yomi Yomi no Mi, the crossover energy surged, and when I defeated Varubo, it increased again."

"Also, during the time I spent with Chopper, the rate of increase in crossover energy was considerable. And after joining the Black Spade Pirates, the energy surged again."

"Now the crossover energy in my body is enough for me to cross two new worlds! Twice as fast as when I was in the Naruto world."

"If I were to cross between the Naruto and One Piece worlds, it would be enough for two round trips!"

Having been to other worlds, the energy required for crossing is only half, so now Youta has the ability to return to the Naruto world and come back.

"The Naruto world should have ended the Third Great Ninja War by now, right? But with my current strength, it seems like I won't gain much advantage, even with the power of the Yomi Yomi no Mi, I'm at most a Jonin."

"However, going to the Naruto world to collect some common Earth, Water, and Medical Ninjutsu should still be possible."

Like some B-rank or lower common Water, Earth, and Medical Ninjutsu, and some C-rank genjutsu. You can buy them in the black market.

After all, the five great ninja villages almost all have these level of ninjutsu, and even those small and medium ninja villages will not lack them. Naturally, there is no need to worry about leaks, so there is trade on the black market, but the price required is probably quite surprising.

"Especially Water Ninjutsu... In the world of One Piece, this kind of ninjutsu is simply strategic, and its importance even surpasses that of Medical Ninjutsu."

Although he had made up his mind, Youta did not immediately return to the Naruto world.

He's still on a pirate ship, after all. If he suddenly disappears, Ace's crew might think he fell into the sea.

Moreover, a pirate ship is always moving, who knows what the reference point for the coordinates will be, if it's based on the location of the planet's oceans, he'll end up falling into the sea when he comes back, even if he can walk on water with Chakra, there's no way he can cross the entire ocean!

"Hey, boss, that Navy ship is coming after us again!" Just as Youta was thinking, he suddenly heard the lookout's voice.

Huh? Youta raised his head, squinting slightly as he looked into the distance.

If you look closely, you will find that his pupils seem to have undergone some changes like an eagle. This is also a simple human body modification he made to his eyes, changing his eye structure to that of an eagle.

He had also studied the bodies of other animals and then modified himself, but later he found out that although changing his body structure to that of other animals increased his strength in the short term, it also put a great burden on his other organs.

Most importantly, because it didn't match the human body well. This kind of modification from the muscles of other animals, almost impossible to strengthen through exercise, so in the end he gave up and turned his attention to other extraordinary human bodies.

But for special organs like eyes, it doesn't matter.

Youta's current modification to eagle eyes gives him almost a kilometer of vision, far exceeding that of a normal person.

"It really is the Navy, but... A Navy ship of that size should be a Rear Admiral or a Vice Admiral of a branch, right? Isn't it certain death for them to chase after the Black Spade Pirates with that kind of strength?"

"And according to what they said, this Navy seems to come after the Black Spade Pirates often? Is there someone special among them?"

While Youta was thinking, he heard the crew of the Black Spade Pirates making fun of their captain. "Captain, just submit to her already. Wow, she's gone to the Grand Line to chase after you, what a heartwarming gesture."

Scratching his head, Youta leaned against the railing. He felt that something was off about the atmosphere, so he decided not to intervene.

Although Ace was commanding his Black Spade Pirates ship to move forward at full speed, the pirate ship was still at a disadvantage compared to the Navy's ship. Moreover, the other members of the Black Spade Pirates were carefree, so soon, the Navy ship approached the Black Spade Pirates.

With a bang, a cannonball was fired towards Ace's Black Spade Pirates ship, but the accuracy of naval artillery in the age of sailing ships... well, those who understand know. This shot unsurprisingly missed by several meters.

The opposite warship was not very advanced. Obviously, its firepower was also not very strong. The cannonballs that came over were sparse, and occasionally, the cannonballs that could hit the Black Spade Pirates were easily blocked by Ace.

It's just that Ace has been holding back. Otherwise, the Mera Mera no Mi is not a bottom-tier natural Devil Fruit. With his natural Devil Fruit power akin to a natural disaster, a single punch could turn the entire Navy ship into a pile of ashes.
