"Yes!!!"
Boom boom——!!!
The roar of the Allied Shinobi Forces thundered across the skies.
"Vanguard troops, advance!"
Senju Tobirama's voice rang out, calm but forceful.
Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara exchanged glances—
And simultaneously, smirks formed at the corners of their mouths.
"Drink—!!!"
In an instant, Hashirama entered Sage Mode.
Clap—!
His palms came together, and with a rumble, thick roots of wood burst from the earth.
Within moments, a colossal wooden Buddha stood tall over the battlefield.
Hashirama leapt atop it.
On either side of him, the two "pillars"—the Uchiha and the Senju—unleashed their full-bodied Susanoo forms.
Meanwhile, disguised beneath the mask of a White Zetsu clone, Yamato pressed his hands together, and a youthful, smaller version of the Buddha rose from the ground.
Onoki followed suit, raising a mighty Earth Golem.
Every shinobi with a personal "Gundam" of their own did not fall behind.
Two of them transformed directly into their tailed beast forms—both users of Wood Release.
"The ground vanguard is ready!"
At that moment—
Deidara, Sai, and the air corps of ninja tools soared above the advancing ground units.
"Sky vanguard, in position!" came the report.
Senju Tobirama nodded gravely. "The Hokage has given his orders. Remember—the vanguard does not stop to capture stragglers."
"Leave them for the troops in the rear! Anyone who surrenders, hand them off!"
Boom boom——!!!
Suddenly, Orochimaru appeared with a grin that sent chills down spines.
A swarm of Kurama-brand chakra-powered motorcycles revved behind him.
"Logistics division, moving out!"
In Tobirama's hand appeared a tactical scroll.
Nothing elaborate.
Just a simple diagram.
An arrow.
The Adventures of the Celestial Dragons—commence.
The sky darkened as the air corps with absolute aerial supremacy began their descent.
The earth trembled with the advance of the ground vanguard.
"Naruto, all units are ready and en route to the Shikkotsu Forest!" roared Kurama from the sealed space.
Buzz——
A moment later, Naruto entered the sealed domain.
"The speed of mobilization... exceeded my expectations."
"In that case, the plan changes."
"Have Fishman Island rise from the ocean depths—immediately."
He narrowed his eyes, fixing Kurama with a sharp stare.
"In one hour, I want the Sabaody Archipelago under Fishman Island's command."
"Three days from now, every elite fighter deploys to Marineford."
"Within five days, seize control of the Grand Line."
"Conquer the Red Line within 18 days."
"Eliminate every obstacle—pirates, Marines, whoever."
"On the 27th day, I will liberate everything that lies exposed."
"By day 39... inform Grandpa Tobirama and Uncle Shikaku: once we pass the Shikkotsu Forest, the entire army sets sail."
With that, Naruto left the sealed space, Kurama blinking in stunned silence.
Back in reality.
Naruto began syncing with the power laws of the pirate world—actively subjugating them.
"The natural energy of the Shinobi World is about to pour in... Time for the Genjutsu Corps to shine."
"Shirahoshi, bring me the world map."
He gently patted her head.
Despite her enormous size, Naruto had already shrunk her to a normal human form.
Her weight remained the same—but for Naruto, lifting her with a single finger was effortless.
"Yes~ Naruto-sama~!" she chirped, dashing away.
Naruto settled into his chair.
At his side, Fukaboshi stood respectfully.
"Has the operation begun?" Naruto asked calmly.
Fukaboshi nodded. "We've started the arrests."
"All combat units of Fishman Island have assembled!"
"Good. Then your soldiers will support the right-wing assault in the Wolf Pack battlefront."
Soon, Shirahoshi returned with the map, her wide eyes blinking up at him.
Naruto smiled and patted her head again as she sat beside him.
He looked down at the map.
It was incomplete—but enough.
He pointed at a string of islands along the Grand Line.
"Father will spearhead the island-hopping campaign. Aerial summons will assist."
"I'll use the Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique... and harness the power of the Mori-Mori no Mi."
"Bring me a fruit platter."
"Yes~!" Shirahoshi ran off again, giggling.
King Neptune watched quietly—and removed his crown.
The shift in Naruto's presence filled the air. It was overwhelming—even for a king.
He now understood clearly:
This was no ordinary boy.
This was a force.
"Once our units split, we regroup at the Red Line and initiate the blockade."
"The Tailed Beast Army becomes a missile corps. Tailed Beast Bombs for long-range suppression."
"Then I'll overwrite this world's power system. Fuse it with our own—Chakra will awaken here."
"The Yamanaka Clan will apply pressure through mental warfare."
Naruto's gaze shifted again.
"Orochimaru and the rest of our scientists—initiate full-scale electronic warfare."
"White Zetsu Army: disguise, infiltrate, destabilize."
"Main force—blitzkrieg."
BOOM—!!!
A surge of power erupted from Naruto.
In an instant, the entire Fishman Island trembled.
King Neptune's eyes widened in shock as he stumbled backward uncontrollably.
Fukaboshi and his younger brothers were hurled away by the force.
Yet at the center of it all, Shirahoshi stood untouched. She only felt a powerful breeze swirl around her.
"Naruto-sama is so amazing~!"
Stars sparkled in Shirahoshi's eyes.
"Kurama, take your humanoid form and follow Deidara's air unit. Begin strategic bombing."
"Sunagakure and Iwagakure, start carving the trench lines."
Naruto slowly rolled up the world map.
A divine robe of red and gold appeared on his body, rippling with chakra.
He turned his gaze to Shirahoshi.
"You shy mermaid princess… You are Poseidon, the Ancient Weapon 'Sea King.'"
"I'll be counting on you during the wolf pack assault."
As he spoke, he gently patted her head once more.
Shirahoshi smiled, eyes squinting from the affectionate gesture.
Naruto teased her chin with his fingers again.
"I'll help you awaken the latent power within you."
As the words fell, Shirahoshi's brilliant red-and-white tail began to tremble faintly.
Above her, her pet shark Mekaro, sensing the aura pouring from her, retreated in panic.
"As for the unstable elements on Fishman Island, I'll deal with them myself."
He paused, voice turning cold.
"That includes the trash who dared to covet you. I'll take you to face him personally."
Naruto turned to King Neptune. "When can Fishman Island be raised to the surface?"
Neptune wiped the cold sweat from his brow. "At least... three days from now!"
"Lord Naruto, what are your plans?"
Naruto narrowed his eyes. "Three days? That won't do."
"If I push myself, I can manage it by the dawn of the third day."
"...No need," Naruto interrupted.
"Today, I will bring Fishman Island to the surface. It will rise from the ocean depths and bask in sunlight once more."
With those words, Naruto's body began to levitate.
Shirahoshi quickly mounted Mekaro and followed close behind.
Buzz—
In a flash, Naruto ascended above Fishman Island.
Below, all the fishmen and mermaids looked up in awe.
"Uzumaki Naruto…"
"You idiot! Didn't you read the decree the three princes issued?!"
"Naruto-sama~!"
"…!"
More and more residents gathered to witness what was happening.
The news had already swept through Fishman Island—Uzumaki Naruto, the man with a bounty of 4 billion, had slain a Celestial Dragon, and Fishman Island had declared allegiance to him.
Naruto didn't bother correcting the term surrender.
He floated above them, arms slowly outstretched.
BOOM BOOM—!!!
Another tremor rocked the island.
Everyone stared, eyes wide with disbelief.
This power… it was beyond comprehension.
Captured pirates and World Government officials knelt, unable to comprehend what they were witnessing.
"Rise—!!!"
Naruto roared.
His skin became pale white, and horns—like those of the Otsutsuki—jutted from his forehead.
In the blink of an eye, his body transformed into a true Otsutsuki form.
And then—
Both eyes opened to reveal the Rinnegan.
BOOM BOOM—!!!
The very bedrock of Fishman Island trembled.
Crack—!
It began to move.
The seabed groaned as Fishman Island slowly started to ascend—rising toward the surface world.
Naruto gradually withdrew his chakra.
As he floated downward, a name crossed his mind.
"Fujitora… Gravity, huh?"
"That ability of yours… I'll take it next time we meet."
He descended quietly.
And with a calm breath, spread his senses wide.
Time to hunt down the two pieces of trash hiding below.
High above, Shirahoshi sat nervously atop Mekaro's head, following Naruto with wide, anxious eyes.
"Jiahahaha~!"
"Lucky we weren't caught! Once we reach the surface, we'll slip away!"
In the shadows of Fishman Street, Hody Jones sneered coldly.
Hody Jones—Great White Shark Fishman.
Twisted by hatred and shaped by a hostile environment, he had become a radical supremacist, obsessed with the dominance of fish-men over all others.
"Damn it… where the hell did that guy come from?"
His face twisted in rage.
"Forget the deal. It's off!"
"I'm going to kill that Uzumaki Naruto… How dare he shrink my beloved Shirahoshi?! Damn him!!"
Beside him, the shady Vander Decken IX spat in frustration.
But just then—Naruto turned his head.
He raised his hand without a word.
Whoosh—!
Shinra Tensei. A powerful gravitational force erupted.
Hody's eyes bulged.
A tremendous pull dragged him forward—his body lifted off the ground helplessly.
"Wh-What kind of ability is this?!"
"Why can't I move?!"
Thud—!
Before he could finish speaking, Hody was slammed through the air, drawn straight to Naruto.
"You bastard!" he snarled, flailing. "I'm a fishman! You're gonna kill me in public— Gah—!!"
Crack.
With a simple twist of the wrist, Naruto snapped his neck.
"I don't need instability."
He dropped the lifeless body without remorse.
"Clean this up."
"Yes, sir!" The merman guards responded immediately.
"The New Fishman Pirates have been eliminated!"
"Understood!"
Tap tap tap—
The patrols swiftly dispersed to maintain order.
Whoosh—!
Naruto used Banshō Ten'in again.
Vander Decken IX was ripped from his hiding place and flung toward them.
"Vander Decken IX!" Shirahoshi gasped, her eyes going wide in panic.
She immediately hid behind Naruto, trembling. "That's the one! The bad guy who kept sending me things!"
Naruto turned to face the deformed creep.
A dirty little hat sat awkwardly on his head. His coiled hair and unkempt beard were nearly the same size, and he walked on four legs—an abomination.
"You again…"
"Target Target Fruit, huh?"
Naruto narrowed his eyes and activated the Mori-Mori no Mi—the Wood-Wood Fruit's power surging through him.
"Die."
The command was cold, absolute.
Vander Decken IX screamed, but it was too late.
His body withered instantly—disintegrating into dust and decay.
In mere seconds, only his clothes and tiny hat remained, falling lifelessly to the ground.
Naruto shook off his hand and looked around.
The surrounding fish-men and mermaids stared at him with awe.
Especially those who now understood Shirahoshi's true identity.
A warrior strong enough to kill tyrants.
A consort capable of protecting the Sea King's vessel—Poseidon.
A symbol of a new beginning for Fishman Island.
At that moment, a great rumbling echoed.
Naruto looked up.
Fishman Island was rising rapidly—ascending toward the surface.
And piercing through the ocean like a massive spear was a colossal wooden structure stretching toward the sky.
"You've arrived…"
Outside, the fishmen and mermaids continued to gather.
Their voices, once uncertain, began to echo with hope.
For the first time since Queen Otohime, they saw unity.
They saw light.
They saw Uzumaki Naruto.
Everyone knew it.
Fishman Island was about to break the surface.
To rise into the sun.
To see the world above.
"Land on the island and fight!''
