"Don't be too happy. According to the information Shanks sent, Uchiha Tenchi seems to have other things to do. The real opponents against the Navy are probably us and the Conqueror Pirates!" Whitebeard shook his head slightly, thinking of the vague things Shanks had told him through the Den Den Mushi.
"That's alright, having the Conqueror Pirates and Shanks is enough!" Although Uchiha Tenchi might not participate, the addition of the Conqueror Pirates greatly increased their chances of winning, so Marco was satisfied.
A few days later, as the day of Ace's public execution approached, the Whitebeard Pirates arrived in the waters near the Holy Land Mary Joe. About forty kilometers behind the Whitebeard Pirates, the Conqueror Pirates also arrived.
"Whitebeard Newgate is planning to directly attack and kidnap people!" Tianqi said calmly, looking at the group of Whitebeard Pirates' ships in the distance with his Byakugan activated.
"Captain, do you mean that Whitebeard and his crew didn't have any strategy and just forcibly rescued people?" Shanks asked with a puzzled look, unable to see the ship.
"Don't you know what kind of people the Whitebeard Pirates are? They always do things openly and honestly, they wouldn't have any strategies!" Tian Qi shook his head helplessly. It would be unwise to do this when there was a difference in strength between the two sides, after all, this was not a duel but a rescue.
Shanks shook his head helplessly upon hearing this. Whitebeard's personality was such that he wouldn't play any tricks. That was both his charm and his weakness. There weren't that many truly righteous people on the sea.
Seeing that Ace was about to be executed, the Whitebeard Pirates, numbering in the thousands, set sail for Mary Geoise and engaged in battle with Sengoku and the rest of the Marines. Thick smoke rose into the air.
Seeing the thick smoke rising, Shanks said anxiously, "Captain, shall we go up too?"
"From now on, you are the captain of the Conquer Pirates. How you act is up to you. I should go and meet that person!" Tianqi shook his head, effectively handing over the Conquer Pirates to Shanks.
"Captain, I..." Shanks' eyes widened when he heard Tianqi hand over the captain's position to him now.
"Go!" With that, Tianqi grabbed Hancock's hand and flew up. While floating, Tianqi tossed a book he had written down to Nico Robin and said calmly, "This contains the history and truth I know. This is what I promised you, and I'm fulfilling my promise today!"
Nico Robin took the record book and looked at Tianqi floating in the sky. She didn't know why, despite always pursuing the historical text and the truth, she couldn't be happy now that she had obtained what she had always dreamed of. It was really strange.
"Everyone in the Conquer Pirates, go and pursue your own goals, hahaha..." Tianqi laughed loudly and flew directly with Hancock to the place he had agreed to meet with Im.
"Captain..." The members of the Conqueror Pirates were filled with complex emotions as they watched Tian Qi leave. It was hard to say whether the Conqueror Pirates could still be the number one pirate crew after his departure.
"Alright everyone, now that the captain's gone, it's time for us to get moving. To help the captain, let's hold off these marines!" Shanks snapped out of his daze and led his crew of pirates into the water, stealthily heading towards the battlefield.
As Tianqi approached his destination, he immediately put Hancock into his Kamui dimension. After all, Hancock wasn't particularly strong, and he couldn't take care of her while fighting Im.
Upon landing on the outskirts of Pangu City, Tian Qi saw five old men already waiting for him. Indeed, these five were the Five Elders, who were above the Navy.
"Oh, it's you five old geezers waiting for me here. Are you here to take me in or to stop me?" Tian Qi tilted his head slightly, not taking the five old geezers seriously at all.
"Hmph! Young man, you're so arrogant. Do you think you can walk into Pangu City today?" An old man with a sword stepped forward and said disdainfully. He hated arrogant brats the most.
"Limitless Void Slash!" Without wasting words with the old man, Tian Qi directly drew his Heavenly Cloud Sword, cleaved through space, and severed the old man's head from a distance.
This sudden scene widened the eyes of the other four old men. With just a simple swing of his sword, he had killed one of them. This method was simply too powerful. They couldn't imagine how a young man could have such strength.
"Since you're not here to welcome me, I don't need to waste my breath on you!" With that, Tian Qi activated his Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan, and the power of time spread out as he slowly stepped past the Five Elders and entered Pangu City.
The four elders stared wide-eyed, but remained motionless. As Tian Qi entered Pangu City, their bodies gradually shattered and vanished, leaving no trace. Even the old man whose head Tian Qi had already severed was completely obliterated. Thus, the five elders of the sacred land were mercilessly annihilated by Tian Qi without even having a chance to make a move.
Upon entering Pangu City, one is greeted by a group of Celestial Dragons kneeling on the ground, their eyes lifeless as if they were dead, creating a very eerie scene.
"What's going on here? What is Im doing?" Tian Qi frowned as he looked at the strange scene. These proud Celestial Dragons would never kneel like this. There must be some conspiracy involved, but Tian Qi couldn't figure out the reason yet.
As Lu Tianqi continued walking forward, he encountered all sorts of Celestial Dragons along the way. Whether they were old or young, they were all kneeling with lifeless eyes until they reached a sea of flowers where they disappeared.
Looking towards the sea of flowers, Tian Qi's eyes widened. He saw a woman wearing a white veil watering a small wooden ladle. Not far from her was a huge vessel, in which a five-meter-tall giant was soaking.
"Holy crap, what the hell is going on?" Tianqi's eyes widened. He had a guess in his mind, but he really didn't want to believe that guess was true.
"Your abilities are quite strange and powerful, but next time, let me know before you kill someone on my turf!" the woman said calmly as she watered the flowers in front of her.
"You...you...you are the world king Im?" Tianqi asked, somewhat uncertainly.
"Whether I am Im or not, that is not a reason for you to kill my subordinates, Uchiha Tenchi!" The woman put down the small wooden ladle, turned around, and frowned slightly as she looked at Tenchi. Her eyes revealed her displeasure. It would be strange if she were not happy to lose her five capable subordinates.
Upon hearing the woman admit her identity, Tian Qi was stunned as if struck by lightning. He never imagined that Im would be a woman, and the snow-white skin revealed on half of her face reminded him of the Otsutsuki clan in the Naruto world. Her snow-white skin was so similar to that of the Otsutsuki clan. Could it be that Im also came from another planet?
"What? You killed my subordinate, aren't you going to explain yourself?" Seeing Uchiha Tenki standing there in a daze, Im walked up to Tenki step by step and stared at him intently.
Coming to his senses, Tian Qi looked at the 1.5-meter-tall Im and smiled slightly, saying with some disdain, "Just five pieces of trash. If they dare to block my way, I'll kill them. I don't think you'd care about five pieces of trash, would you?"
"Five pieces of trash? You make it sound so easy. Those were the five strongest people I found. Do you know how difficult it is to find five loyal and powerful people on the high seas? And now you've killed them all. How do you think you're going to compensate me?" Im said indifferently. Only Uchiha Tenki would dare to call the Five Elders trash, but the Five Elders were not trash at all. At least their strength was above that of the Navy and pirates.
"Compensation? Five pieces of trash. Besides, in this era of great pirates, the Five Elders will be eliminated sooner or later. Even if I don't kill them today, they will be killed by the Carmen in the future. And I am a pirate, you are the representative of the Navy. What compensation are we talking about?" Tian Qi forcibly suppressed his inner shock. He had not forgotten why he came here today. Even if Im was a woman, there were some things he had to do today.
"Alright, let's put aside the Five Elders for now and talk about what I told you ten years ago. So, are you willing to work for me or help me?" Im said calmly.
Compared to Uchiha Tenchi, the Five Elders are no match. As long as Tenchi can be won over, those five old geezers are no big deal once they die; who would care about them then?
"Do you think I would ever submit to you?" Tianqi smiled slightly. The idea of him working for someone else was simply a pipe dream. He, Uchiha Tianqi, would never work under anyone else.
"Since you don't want to be subordinate to me, how about we cooperate and become partners to help each other?" Seeing that Tianqi didn't want to be subordinate to him, Im wasn't surprised at all. It was indeed unlikely that a top expert like him would work under someone else.
Moreover, Tianqi is different from Joy Boy from hundreds of years ago. That big oaf really wanted to overthrow her, but Tianqi didn't have that idea. It seems he's not that kind of person. That's why Im wanted to win Tianqi over. If Tianqi were like that big oaf from hundreds of years ago, she wouldn't want to waste her time trying to win him over.
"Help each other? How can you help me?" Tianqi looked at the short Im and didn't believe she could help him at all. Besides, his goal wasn't here at all, so what help could he get? This was nonsense.
"How can I help you?" Im looked at Tian Qi and couldn't think of anything she could do for a moment, but she still stubbornly said, "I am the king of this world. There is nothing I cannot do in this world. As long as you are willing to help me, I can solve any problem you have. I can even get you any Devil Fruit you want. Isn't that enough?"
