"What the hell is that!?"
On Isobu's shell, thousands of pirates stared wide-eyed at the golden fox before them.
In their sight, the colossal golden Kyūbi towered above the sea like a mountain wrought of light, radiating a crushing, endless power—like the wrath of an infinite ocean.
"ROOOAR!!!"
Isobu bellowed furiously.
Because Naruto had triggered complete transformation while standing on its head, the Kyūbi's full form pressed down upon it, nearly sinking its body into the ocean.
"What? The Sanbi, huh." The Kyūbi's voice boomed inside Isobu's mind, dripping with disdain. "Shut your mouth, or this great me will smash your shell to pieces."
"ROAR!!!"
Isobu raged back, though it could not speak. Everyone present could still feel its fury burning toward the Kyūbi.
Driven by anger, it snapped its massive jaws and bit down toward one of the fox's tails.
But the fully manifested Kyūbi met it head-on, slamming a giant paw down upon Isobu's skull—so forceful it nearly drove the turtle beneath the waves.
Before the Gate of Justice was even touched, the two Bijū looked ready to fight each other.
"Kyūbi, behave yourself!" Naruto barked.
Even in complete Tailed Beast Mode, it was still his will that directed the fox's body.
The Kyūbi fell silent, grumbling within the seal space, thrashing its tails irritably and muttering through clenched teeth:
"Damn brat... that hurt..."
His mind flashed back to Naruto's brutal fists—not only had the kid nearly broken its fangs, but he had pinned the mighty fox down and thrashed it into submission.
If it hadn't yielded at the end, it probably would've been skinned bald by that boy.
With a snort, the Kyūbi lay down, tails swaying lazily as it muttered under its breath:
"He said three months before he gives me freedom... fine. This great me will wait."
"Perfect Jinchūriki of the Kyūbi..."
On Isobu's shell, Izumi and Guren looked on, utterly shaken by the golden giant fox.
Until now, they had never even heard of the Kyūbi having a Perfect Jinchūriki.
For decades, villages had possessed Tailed Beasts and nurtured countless hosts—many had reached perfection.
But never the Kyūbi.
Guren swallowed hard. "A perfect Kyūbi Jinchūriki... just how strong is that?"
Izumi nodded firmly. "Very strong. It's said a single Bijūdama from the Kyūbi could flatten Konoha itself. Among the nine Bijū, it's the most terrifying calamity of all."
The surrounding shinobi shivered, unable to even imagine such power—the ability to erase an entire hidden village in one strike.
No wonder the Kyūbi was the strongest of the Tailed Beasts. It was a walking natural disaster, a force that could wipe out nations at will.
"It's coming..." Izumi's eyes lit up as she stared at the golden Kyūbi, her voice trembling with excitement. "That's its Bijūdama... power worthy of being called a natural disaster. Don't blink."
The shinobi immediately fixed their eyes on the fox.
They wanted to see it with their own eyes—the legendary might that had shaken the shinobi world for centuries.
Even the pirates stood frozen, overwhelmed. For them, the sight was even more surreal: the complete transformation of a Bijū.
In all the shinobi world, only a monster like Kaido of Wano could compare to such raw might.
Before countless watching eyes, Naruto's full Kyūbi form opened its jaws.
A massive black sphere coalesced between its fangs—like a dark star suspended in the air.
Its destructive energy was palpable—enough to obliterate heaven and earth.
As the orb swelled to its peak size, it launched forth like a black meteor streaking toward the Gate of Justice.
FWOOOSH!!
The air itself shrieked at its passage.
"Phew... so in complete transformation, I don't even need to swallow it first, huh..." Inside the Kyūbi's head, Naruto exhaled, wiping sweat from his brow.
The Bijū's chakra was a mixture of blue yang chakra and purple-black yin chakra. Only by shaping both to their limits and compressing them in an 8:2 ratio could such a super-dense sphere be created.
Drawing in a deep breath, Naruto watched the black sphere streaking toward the gate, a grin curling on his lips.
"If you don't want to get blown off, grab onto Isobu's shell! This shockwave is going to be insane!"
The pirates clutched the turtle's spikes in terror.
Seconds later, a cataclysmic explosion erupted ahead.
The shockwave rolled out like an apocalyptic tsunami, engulfing everything.
"AAAAAHHHHH!!!"
The pirates screamed, snot and tears streaming, their arms straining to hold on.
Even gripping tight, the gale-force winds nearly tore them from their holds, bodies whipping in the air like ragdolls.
From afar, it looked like thousands of tiny figures flapping wildly in the storm.
"No way..."
Barrett's eyes bulged as he stared at the black smoke shrouding the Gate of Justice, his voice trembling.
"This kind of firepower... don't tell me Uzumaki Naruto has control over Pluton!?"
Crocodile's face darkened, sand peeling from his body under the violent gale, his cigar snapped in two.
"Idiot. Of the Ancient Weapons—Pluton, Uranus, Poseidon—only Pluton has this level of destructive force. But Pluton's a battleship. Does that nine-tailed fox look like a ship to you?"
Barrett scowled. "It was just a comparison! But honestly—have you ever seen any attack like this before?"
Crocodile ignored him, his gaze grimly locked on the Gate.
"No... this feels even greater than the Ancient Weapons. That one blast could wipe an island clean."
Barrett followed his stare, eyes narrowing.
"Let's just see... if it can blow a hole through."
The shockwave lasted minutes.
When the roaring winds finally subsided, the pirates collapsed onto Isobu's shell, drenched in sweat.
They turned toward the golden Kyūbi with dread.
"Boss Naruto is way too terrifying... I've seen Whitebeard before, but even his Gura Gura no Mi wasn't..."
The words died in their throats.
Every eye widened.
They stared, slack-jawed—at the Gate of Justice.
"No way!?"
