Chapter 187: The Dreamland, Ninja World Shocked by Enies Lobby
The Five Kages discussed who to send to invade the opponent's world next time. But they seemed to have forgotten one thing: Was Madara the candidate they had negotiated for this time? No. The opportunity to invade the Otherworld was not something they could decide.
The sun was setting, slowly disappearing beneath the sea. Night fell.
Madara, who had learned the location of Enies Lobby earlier, was constantly speeding across the sea. On the dark ocean, if it were anyone else, they would have already lost their way! Although ninjas could stand on the water and run fast, this was equivalent to a normal person walking in the desert in the dark. With no compass and no stars visible, no one could tell the direction.
But Madara! He seemed to have no such problem, heading straight for Enies Lobby.
With a sense of direction beyond ordinary people, spectators in both worlds were dumbfounded. No one believed it until he arrived at Enies Lobby. They thought it was incredible. How could someone find an island in the vast sea with just a casually pointed direction?
If they hadn't witnessed Madara galloping step by step across the vast ocean for several hours, no one would believe that such a supernatural sense of direction existed.
In fact, it wasn't because of Madara's sense of direction. It was because of Madara's Dōjutsu (Eye Techniques) and insight that he could see clearly even on the dark sea.
He arrived at Enies Lobby.
When the island appeared in the picture, the whole Ninja World was stunned.
In the endless sea, there was a massive hole. Seawater poured into it continuously, but it seemed unable to fill it up. And there was an island floating above this huge void.
Although it was not completely floating in the sky, the narrow passage linking it to the main gate of Enies Lobby could not support the weight of the island at all. So, it was undoubtedly an island floating in mid-air. It was just located within a massive hole in the ocean, equivalent to a plug that couldn't completely fill the drain.
It wasn't very clear under the night sky, but with the help of the lights on Enies Lobby, it was possible to see the situation of the island clearly.
Such a spectacular scene appeared on the light curtain and was watched by everyone in the Ninja World. At this moment, people couldn't help but sigh.
"Is this... the island of the Otherworld?"
"What a fantastic place! There is no place like this in the Ninja World!"
"Amazing! Such a place actually exists!"
"Aren't the places where the Five Emperors were located just above islands floating in mid-air too?"
Now, ninjas seemed to be looking forward to the Pirate World more and more. Such an incredible place actually existed. They really wanted to know what power made such a large island float above the hole in the sea.
Madara!
He jumped above Enies Lobby in one leap. His movements were so fast that no one noticed him at all.
But Madara was also surprised now.
"Really... this place is nice!"
Standing on the roof of a certain house, Madara scanned the entire Enies Lobby.
"But such a beautiful place will soon be destroyed!"
Looking at the sky, Madara smiled. "At sunrise, let's do it!"
Before that, Madara had to do another extremely important thing: Intelligence Gathering.
A strange world, a strange place. Just from the previous few World Wars, although a lot of information could be obtained from the battles, the place in front of him was called Enies Lobby, an extremely important institution of the World Government. There must be a lot of vital information here. Before destroying it, it was natural to investigate it carefully.
Madara glanced down at a patrol team slowly passing by below.
A patrolman at the end of the formation flashed and disappeared instantly. Immediately afterward, this person appeared again, but this time, it was Madara using the Transformation Technique.
He followed the patrol toward the interior of Enies Lobby.
Madara had successfully infiltrated.
At the same time, the audience of the Pirate World looked at the Marines on the screen. Madara had already successfully sneaked into Enies Lobby and was planning something, but the current Marines hadn't noticed Madara's location yet. A huge military organization was running around like headless chickens. Although they looked very busy, what they were doing was useless.
Meanwhile, on the other side!
On the huge ship, the Ark Maxim, the Five Emperors Alliance had quickly crossed the Red Line from the New World and reached the first half of the Grand Line.
But at this moment, Yuichi found another problem.
"The position of the red dot on the map seems to refresh every half an hour."
On the way here, Yuichi had been looking at the map on the small light curtain. When he accidentally noticed that the red dot suddenly jumped from one position to another, Yuichi understood. This map did not show Madara's location in real-time. Instead, it had a fixed refresh interval.
This was understandable. If they could see the location of Madara anytime and anywhere, it would be too easy to find him. In that case, for the intruders, surviving for five days would be a pipe dream. Therefore, the fixed refresh time prevented the invaders from being chased down instantly.
But half an hour... for an ordinary person, the radius of activity was limited. A half-hour voyage on the sea was easy to calculate. However, Madara was different. Yuichi noticed that Madara moved much faster than a ship. His radius of action for half an hour was simply terrifying.
So, although it looked like Madara was staying near Enies Lobby for now, it wasn't easy to confirm he was in Enies Lobby.
Yuichi and the others, who had just crossed the Red Line, chose to take a short break. They waited for half an hour for Madara's location to refresh again before acting.
On the other side, while Yuichi and others were resting, Commander-in-Chief Kong was anxious, like a cat on a hot tin roof.
"Find an intruder all over the world? How can you find him?!"
"Those ninjas can transform. If they pretend to be ordinary people, even the Marines won't be able to find them easily!"
Kong had been busy all afternoon, and the more he thought about it, the more weird he felt. This seemed impossible. How were they supposed to find him?
After calming down, Kong finally opened his own light curtain, watched by countless people in the auditorium of the Pirate World. As Kong carefully reviewed the rules for this invasion, he suddenly noticed the map in the upper right corner.
Seeing Kong finally find the feature, everyone in the auditorium sighed. "Did you finally find out? This is the Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces? This reaction is too slow!"
In fact, if it weren't for the experienced traveler Yuichi, not to mention Kong, there might not be many people in the Pirate World who would think to study the interface on the small light screen!
Kong clicked to look at the map in front of him and zoomed in on the flashing red dot.
He stood up abruptly. "The original location... It told us a long time ago... Damn... I didn't notice it at all before..."
Kong was very helpless as he said that. Not noticing this kind of thing was his mistake. But he quickly noticed another problem.
"Wait... this location is... Enies Lobby????"
