Inside the office of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"Mr. Monkey D. Luffy, you say you are from the Great Kingdom, and you are also the King of the Great Kingdom?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the young man eating heartily in front of his desk, completely unable to grasp the meaning of his words.
What Great Kingdom? And a King?
He had lived so many years and had never heard of such a place, nor did he know if what Luffy said was true.
"Yes, just call me Luffy. The food isn't bad..."
Luffy replied, ignoring everyone's gaze, and continued to eat wildly.
The speed at which he devoured the meat astounded everyone present.
Not only was he incredibly strong, but his appetite was astonishing, far exceeding the understanding of ordinary people.
In fact, Luffy had no preparations for this journey through dimensions.
When the Great Kingdom developed to a certain extent, he was simply pulled away by the Spectator System.
When he woke up again, he was already in the world of Hokage.
What made him fortunate, however, was that his Gum-Gum Fruit ability and Haki taijutsu abilities were all still there.
Otherwise, it would have been a huge trouble.
"Kakashi, nothing wrong with your injuries, right?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi did not interrupt Luffy from continuing to eat. He asked about Kakashi's injuries.
The one who found Luffy was Kakashi. He was in the back mountains, training his disciple Obito Uchiha, when he suddenly felt a powerful surge of Haki.
According to Kakashi's description, the scene was as if the sky had been torn open, and Luffy descended from the sky, appearing directly in front of them.
At that time, Kakashi thought an enemy was attacking. He immediately attacked Luffy without asking what was going on.
Thus... Kakashi became the first ninja in the world of Hokage to witness the power of Gear Fifth Nika.
In front of Luffy, his Ninjutsu and Genjutsu were useless.
When the Copy Ninja tried to copy the opponent's skills, Kakashi seemed to see a black mist, unable to see through the rules of Luffy's abilities.
What a joke. Not to mention him, even the top figures in the pirate world who possessed Observation Haki couldn't predict the next move of Luffy's Nika form.
The most bizarre ability wasn't just talk. It could only truly demonstrate its power to show how strong it was.
"I'm fine. Sasuke is fine too. He's already been sent back to prepare for the Chunin Exams."
"Mr. Luffy doesn't seem to have any intention of killing me. I was the one who attacked first, and this level of humiliation is nothing compared to what I deserve."
Kakashi took responsibility for the situation, not daring to say a single bad word about Luffy.
Years ago, the Nine-Tails Demon Fox suddenly appeared in Konoha Village, causing a huge disaster.
Although Kakashi was not yet strong enough to take charge at that time, he was also caught up in the disaster and realized the Nine-Tails Demon Fox's terrifying power.
This time, Luffy's power made him recall the feeling of facing the Nine-Tails, even more terrifying than that.
He could faintly perceive that Luffy and the Great Kingdom behind him were presences they simply could not afford to provoke.
Offending such a taboo would lead to considerable trouble later.
"Mr. Luffy, are all the citizens of the Great Kingdom as powerful as you?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi still couldn't control his curiosity. He wanted to know the exact situation.
"As powerful as me? Hmph, I'm the Pirate King. How could anyone be as strong as me? I'm the strongest!"
"There are some guys, though, that give me a headache. Defeating them cost me quite a bit of effort."
"Now that I think about it, that kind of thrilling battle, I really want to experience it again, hahaha!"
When Luffy mentioned the thrilling battle, a strange black-purple lightning suddenly appeared on his body.
The Conqueror's Haki naturally leaked out, causing Hiruzen Sarutobi and everyone present to turn pale with shock.
Several young ninjas on the scene instantly fainted. They simply couldn't withstand it.
Luffy was clearly just talking and laughing, and there wasn't a single chakra fluctuation on his body. Yet, these arrogant ninjas still couldn't endure it.
Hiruzen Sarutobi and other Jonin like Kakashi also had very grim expressions.
The powerful oppressive feeling coming from Luffy was entirely spiritual.
Those who hadn't experienced it had no way to judge what exactly Luffy's ability was.
"How can he be sleeping here? Can't even endure a tiny bit of Conqueror's Haki?"
"Old man, the people here are really weak, without even a hint of ambition."
"How did I end up here? How can I go back? I won't find the great treasure of this world, will I?"
"Does this world have a great treasure? Do you know if there's any treasure?"
Luffy looked expectantly at Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Clearly, Hiruzen Sarutobi was the true leader on the scene. He wanted to understand the situation clearly before asking about the treasure.
"Great Treasure? Mr. Luffy, I'm very sorry, I don't know what you're talking about."
"But since it's a treasure, maybe it's not truly non-existent, but rather we just don't know about it?"
"If Mr. Luffy is willing to stay, I can find time to have Kakashi take you around."
Hiruzen Sarutobi was quite intelligent, grasping the uncertainty in Luffy's words.
As for what the great treasure in Luffy's mouth was, and where it was, it was no longer important.
What was important was that the Konoha ninjas at this moment no longer had their initial brilliance.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have to pull other villages along to collectively organize the Chunin Exams.
The process of organizing this Chunin Exams was also quite unsuccessful. There were quite a few twists and turns in between. Fortunately, it could finally begin now.
Luffy's appearance shattered Hiruzen Sarutobi's original plan.
Such powerful assistance, and the powerful force behind him, the so-called Great Kingdom.
If he could pull them into Konoha's camp and establish a cooperative relationship, Konoha Village would definitely become even stronger.
"Stay? It's not impossible... Finding a way to go back on my own might also be very troublesome."
"Before anything big happens, staying seems fine, but there's one point... food..."
Luffy looked pitifully at Hiruzen Sarutobi. He had astonishing demands for food.
If he insisted on staying, at least his food demands had to be met. Otherwise, no further discussion.
"No problem! Our village has abundant meat products, and many other delicious foods, on the village's commercial street."
"If Mr. Luffy is willing to stay, I'll find time to have Kakashi take you around."
Hiruzen Sarutobi saw a chance and immediately said excitedly.
On the other hand, Kakashi's expression was incredibly stiff.
To get along with a strong person who could exert immense pressure with every move, where was that an easy thing?
"Hahaha, if there's meat to eat, then I can stay for a while."
"If one day it's no longer fun, I'll leave without hesitation."
Luffy's personality was quite casual. He would never do anything against his will.
