"Hmm." Madara saw that Hashirama was about to open the door again, so he quickly stopped him. "Let me do it."
"Aren't they all the same?"
"No, it's different. I remember Tobirama told me before that I should try not to let you do anything related to luck."
When Hashirama is sulking, his mouth could hold a soy sauce bottle.
The second door was opened by Madara Uchiha.
Outside the door is a clear blue sky, and seagulls fly by, their hooves making a melodious sound.
The humid air and the fishy smell of the sea made the two hesitate for a moment.
This time, the door opened in mid-air, with an endless sea below.
"What should we do?" Madara asked Hashirama beside him, looking down at the sea.
Even if they knew how to walk on water, they couldn't possibly walk onto land without a map.
Besides, they don't even have a target. Surely they can't get pregnant just by drinking seawater?
[Important Clue: The person who can help you complete the mission is named Emporio Ivankov]
"What a strange name."
"The problem is we don't have any other information. How do we find it?"
Hashirama tried to have a heart-to-heart talk with the Mirror, hoping to get more information from them.
But the little divine tree in the mirror only made a few disgusted expressions—
Hashirama: "It says we're making too much trouble. Is this our punishment or its punishment?"
"Can you understand what this thing is saying?"
"I guessed based on my gut feeling."
After exchanging a few words, Madara realized he could use his Sharingan to control a seagull and find the information they needed through the seagull's perspective.
Hashirama showered Madara with praise for his Sharingan.
Madara: "Hmph! This is just the most basic power of the Sharingan! And you've been fighting me for so long!"
Hashirama: "Madara, you're being a bit too arrogant."
(P.S. He learned the word "tsundere" from the comments section.)
"Shut up!! I need to concentrate on using my Sharingan!!"
Are you kidding me? Madara Uchiha doesn't need to concentrate to use the Sharingan! It's just a disguise!
Hashirama had an expression that said, "I'll just let you off the hook."
Madara: "Let's go! We've found them! Quite a few!"
Spotting the person in the seagull's field of vision, Ban was the first to jump out of the door!
Hashirama followed closely behind, and the two landed on the sea.
Shortly afterward, an extremely spectacular scene came into view!
Forty-seven large ships sped toward them!
"That's spectacular!" Hashirama exclaimed. "They're flying skull and crossbones flags, are they pirates?"
The Land of Fire is inland and rarely receives missions to combat pirates. However, the ninjas of the Land of Whirlpools often receive such missions, so Hashirama knew about them.
But he had never heard of any pirate who could be so imposing and domineering! Such a huge and powerful ship, even if an ordinary nobleman poured all his wealth into it, he probably couldn't build two of them!
And the opposing pirate force has forty-seven ships?!
"Just like before, this place probably isn't even our world." Madara crossed his arms and said to Hashirama, "No matter what, let's go up and ask."
Meanwhile, the Whitebeard Pirates' lookout spotted Hashirama and Madara and immediately reported it.
"Victims?" Marco: "Throw two lifebuoys down there. We don't have time for anything else right now!"
Just then, two dark figures leaped up!
The next moment, there were two more people on their boat!
"I think we don't need lifebuoys anymore," Hashirama greeted Marco with a smile. "We're up here now."
"You all!"
A vein immediately popped out on Marco's forehead!
Normally, if Marco were in a good mood and faced with such provocation, he would chat with the other party for a while before taking action.
But now their entire group was burning with anxiety! The two men suddenly boarded their boat, like hot oil splashed onto burning firewood!
Transforming into a phoenix, Marco kicked out!
Hashirama's Wood Release shielded him and Madara from Marco's attack. "We didn't mean any trouble! We just wanted to ask about someone!"
Marco was taken aback. "A Devil Fruit user?!"
Hashirama and Madara didn't understand what he meant by "Devil Fruit user." Madara, lacking patience, asked directly, "Embrio Ivankov, have you heard of him?"
Marco frowned, and the other captains who had noticed the commotion jumped over as well.
"What's going on, Marco?"
The speaker was Izou, the captain of the 16th Division.
Izo's attire immediately caught the eye of Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju.
When Yizang saw the two of them, he thought he had met fellow villagers.
"You're samurai from Wano Country?!"
"Wano Country?" Hashirama took a step forward. "We are from the Land of Fire, and we are not samurai, we are ninjas."
"Ninjas?" Izou said, "You guys look more like samurai, don't you? But what's behind you is definitely a scroll." "Never mind, that's not the point. What do you want?"
Izang is very beautiful; if it weren't for the scar on her face, she might even have a kind of androgynous beauty.
However, his muscles and physique are those of a genuine man.
Hashirama: "Let's find another man named Emporio Ivankov. If you know where he is, please don't hesitate to tell us."
Hashirama's attitude was very sincere, and he didn't seem like an enemy. Moreover, with a great battle approaching, it was not easy for the Hundred-Bearded Pirates to make enemies.
Izang: "We know the person, but we don't know where he is."
"Is that so!" Hashirama and Madara exchanged a glance, surprised that they had made progress so quickly.
He asked Yizang, "We have something very urgent to discuss with him. Could you please tell us what he looks like? If you could also take us to a nearby village or town, that would be even more appreciated!"
"It's fine to tell you what Ivankov looks like, but we're going to Naval Headquarters to rescue someone; it's dangerous there."
Perhaps because Hashirama and Madara's attire resembled that of the people of Wano Country, Izo's attitude towards them was to help them whenever possible.
"You have Devil Fruit powers, right?" Izo had just seen Hashirama's Wood Release. "I'll arrange a lifeboat for you; you'd better leave quickly."
Neither Madara nor Hashirama had any experience sailing at sea. If they were given a small boat, they would not know how long it would take to reach the nearby villages.
Moreover, they realized that this was not their world at all.
They had no intelligence and were completely unfamiliar with the area.
Even if they knew what Ivankov looked like, they still didn't know when they would be able to find him.
They don't have much time to linger here.
Madara: "How far is the person you're trying to rescue from here? You mentioned Navy Headquarters."
Izang was taken aback, then frowned and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"Task."
Madara Uchiha: "We'll help you rescue people, and your reward is that you help us find Ivankov."
Since he and Hashirama were not from this world, they didn't need to worry about causing any trouble for their families.
Therefore, instead of thinking so much, it's better to use tasks to earn rewards in order to find people than to search aimlessly.
Izo and the pirates around him were stunned when they heard Madara and Hashirama's words!
Who exactly are these two men?!
They just opened their mouths and said they'd help them fight the Navy?! Do they even know what they're saying?!
Izang and Marco said:
"You guys seem to have absolutely no idea what the Naval Headquarters is."
"We were going to save our brothers, and we were all prepared to die for it."
Brother, isn't this a coincidence? In the Naruto world, everyone is completely powerless against the word "brother".
Hashirama said sincerely, "We are doing this for our brother, so we must find Ivankov as soon as possible."
Ivankov is said to be a highly skilled doctor who has saved people and countries that doctors thought were beyond saving.
Marco and Izo, upon hearing Hashirama's words, assumed that their younger brother was seriously ill, which is why they were so eager to find Ivankov to treat him.
Saving lives is like putting out a fire; there is indeed no time to lose.
Izo stared into Madara and Hashirama's eyes, confirming that they were both people who wanted to save their younger brother. Izo even thought of Kikunojo from his hometown.
"Alright, if you can really be of help, my ship will take you to find them."
Izo didn't have high hopes, but he thought that if the Whitebeard Pirates could survive together, he would be willing to help the two young men.
Madara: "Very well, in that case, who are you trying to save?"
"Ace, my brother."
Saving their younger brother was such a sacred mission in the eyes of Hashirama and Madara!
"He must be a really cute little brother." Hashirama: There's no such thing as an uncute little brother!
When this was mentioned, Marco and Izo exchanged a glance, remembering their stubborn and foolish younger brother.
Marco: "What's so cute about him! He's incredibly stubborn! He never listens to his older brother! He always has his own ideas!"
Even when he's injured, he always hides it so as not to worry anyone, but that's precisely why he's the one who causes the most worry!
Izang: "He's very stubborn, like a little fireball charging around recklessly, just like a child."
"But he is our incredibly important and trusted younger brother."
"A super sensitive person, though it may not be obvious, but actually very delicate and gentle."
We're about to head to the execution ground to rescue Ace.
When Marco and Izo were asked what kind of younger brother Ace was, they were initially scolded, but later showed boundless tolerance and understanding as older brothers.
Concern and protection.
A gentle sea breeze blew by, and Marco and Izo's eyes seemed to be moistened by the sea's dampness.
The two reminisced about their time with Ace in the Whitebeard Pirates, feeling a pang of sadness.
Marco and Izo's words, when heard by Hashirama and Madara, sounded exactly like Tobirama and Izuna!
Hashirama faced Marco and said, "I know it all too well!! My brother also completely ignores me and has his own ideas. I can't argue with him at all, and I always end up getting lectured by him."
"The fact that they hide their injuries is exactly the same, which worries me even more."
Madara said to Izou, "Is he like a little fireball? Gentle, delicate, and sensitive, just like Izuna."
The two sides hit it off immediately, and after a quick exchange of glances, they realized they were both older brothers with adorable younger brothers.
Hashirama: "Speaking of which, we haven't introduced ourselves by name yet. I'm Hashirama, and he's Madara."
"I am Izang, and he is Marco."
Marco transformed into a phoenix. "I'm going to say hello to Dad."
He flapped his wings and flew away, leaving behind a shocked Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju.
"Marco the Phoenix, never heard of him?" Izo laughed. "You guys don't even know the Whitebeard Pirates, do you?"
Hashirama glanced at their pirate flag and shook his head apologetically.
"Really?! Now I'm even more convinced you're from Wano Country."
"I already said we come from the Land of Fire."
"Has Wano Country been renamed?" Izo, who hadn't been back to his hometown for many years, wondered how Wano Country was doing now. He wondered if Lord Oden was alright.
Izo: "No matter what, ninjas are a profession unique to Wano Country, and I'm from Wano Country too, so we should be considered fellow countrymen. From now on, you two can just follow me. As long as we both come back alive, I'll take you to find Ivankov to rescue your brother."
It seemed that Izou had misunderstood something, but Madara and Hashirama didn't explain much.
Marco flew to the lead ship and told the Whitebeard Pirates captain about Hashirama and Madara.
The white-bearded man suddenly burst into laughter, "There are plenty of spirited young people in the next generation! If you trust him, let him follow you!"
Whitebeard agreed, and Hashirama and Madara stayed with the Whitebeard Pirates for the time being.
Madara: "How much longer until we reach the place you're supposed to rescue?"
"It'll be soon." Izo and the others had serious expressions, clearly already in a state of preparation. "It'll be less than half an hour. Let me give you a brief overview of the Navy's situation."
By cramming on the structure of the One Piece world, Hashirama and Madara were surprised to learn what Devil Fruits were, what Devil Fruit users were, and how the pirates and the Navy were two opposing forces.
Hashirama sighed and slapped his forehead.
"War is inevitable, no matter where you go."
Izo: "But being a pirate is a very free profession. Adventure, exploration, treasure, and enjoying fine wine and food with your important companions is wonderful, isn't it?"
Although they didn't have much contact, Hashirama and Madara thought the people here were all great guys.
"We're almost there."
We were still quite far away. About ten minutes ago, a thick fog rose up over the sea, making it impossible to see even with a lookout.
Madara Uchiha, however, saw it very clearly.
