Chapter 258: The End of the Speech
"Impressive strength!"
Naruto bounced in place, raising an eyebrow slightly, and said, "As expected of King Piccolo, he is truly powerful."
King Piccolo's face was grim; he had an urge to flee.
Even after only a few exchanges, he clearly knew that his current self was absolutely no match for Naruto.
If he were still young, he would definitely have a fighting chance.
"I imagine Orochimaru has noticed by now, and his desire for research must be soaring."
Nine-Tailed: "…"
"Probably, but is what you're doing really alright?"
Naruto chuckled.
What's there to be alright or not alright about? Recently, Orochimaru had been somewhat lost due to some research.
Now was the perfect time to bring some shock from another world to his confused state.
He must be full of excitement right now.
"Well then, it's time to end this farce."
Naruto's gaze was like lightning, fixed on King Piccolo, and he laughed loudly, "King Piccolo, I'm sending you on your way now."
"Dream on!"
King Piccolo roared.
Naruto said no more, taking a step forward, and Sage Mode activated.
Buzz!
Golden light bloomed.
After so many changes, Naruto had already pushed the Nine-Tailed Mode to a higher realm.
The combat power increase it brought was also much greater.
Coupled with Sage Mode already integrated into it, his strength reached another level.
Whoosh!
Naruto suddenly appeared behind King Piccolo and kicked him flying.
"How is that possible?"
"I couldn't even see his movements at all?"
King Piccolo was greatly alarmed, and before he could react, he felt a powerful force land on his back.
"Rasenshuriken!"
"Open up for me!"
In a panic, King Piccolo instantly exploded, and a powerful aura frantically spread in all directions.
Even Naruto had to retreat rapidly.
"Die for me."
Boom!
Waves of light continuously impacted, and smoke and dust billowed.
"Too bad, you're still too weak, and I've never seen anyone succeed with the Prince's fighting style."
A faint sigh came from behind, and a Rasenganwas pressed onto King Piccolo's body.
Boom!
A powerful tearing force swirled, instantly blasting a series of blood clots and shredded flesh from King Piccolo's back.
"Ah!"
King Piccolo screamed, and before he could react, Naruto coldly threw out several more Rasenshuriken.
Silence!
Endless silence.
Everyone present, and those not present, all saw it.
The powerful, world-destroying King Piccolo was torn to shreds by Naruto just like that.
Even King Piccolo couldn't withstand the terrifying Rasenshuriken.
Looking at King Piccolo scattered in pieces, the reporter gave an awkward smile and slowly tried to approach.
Naruto glanced at the ground, his heart calm.
This was just the beginning.
There was still one more thing to do now.
Under the terrified gazes of the reporter and cameraman, Naruto stepped in front of them.
He reached out, and with the reporter's bewildered expression, took the microphone, and calmly declared in front of the whole world, "From now on, I am the supreme ruler of this world."
"Which means I am your King!"
"Who agrees? Who objects?"
"Very good, no one objects, so I'll assume you all consent. If you object later, you will bear the consequences."
Everyone: "…"
At least give us time to object!
Many people roared internally.
Especially those in high positions, who wished Uzumaki Naruto would disappear right now.
In their eyes, Uzumaki Naruto's current demeanor was even more detestable than King Piccolo's.
The King was even more furious: "This fellow, without king or father, is courting death."
Shikamaru gave the King a cool look.
The King: "???"
"What are you looking at?"
"I just wanted to say that he is someone who can easily kill King Piccolo. What do you have to kill him?"
The King: "…"
Damn it!
He thought he was a hero, but he turned out to be a super ambitious schemer.
The King suddenly came to his senses and gave a cold smile: 'Being King is not something just anyone can do. Perhaps he is powerful, but a King must balance the four major powers. Can he do that?'
"I admit he's strong, but governing a country, he might not be capable."
The King became more confident as he spoke.
The others were also like this.
Their influence spread everywhere; it was too easy to cause trouble.
They would make him suffer then.
Meanwhile,
Naruto threw the microphone back into the hands of the petrified reporter and turned to leave.
"Wait, sir, where are you going?"
The reporter, who had taken the microphone, suddenly snapped back to reality and, under the cameraman's astonished gaze, quickly chased after him.
Naruto turned his head and grinned: "To claim the throne."
Reporter: "…"
Cameraman: "…"
Everyone: "…"
Arrogant!
Overbearing!
As if the throne was already in his pocket.
"Sir, isn't this a bit inappropriate? It doesn't seem like the King has done anything wrong."
"You're mistaken."
Naruto shook his head: "Being in that position is his mistake, because he's blocking my path."
Walking his own great path, space was his path, and whoever blocked it died.
The King?
In the face of absolute power, everyone had to bow down.
Boom!
Naruto soared into the sky, heading straight for the Royal Capital.
"Quick, quick, quick!"
"Where's the helicopter? This is big news!"
The cameraman ignored the reporter's shouting and helplessly said, "The helicopter was blown up, and even if we called a helicopter, what good would it do?"
The reporter fell silent.
Yes, this was explosive news, and everyone wanted to get the first-hand information.
They had no chance.
But at least they got some scraps, which wasn't bad.
The two consoled themselves… "So arrogant!"
Master Roshi, watching TV on Mount Paozu, turned his head speechlessly to look at the voluptuous woman.
He had been punched before she even got close, and he still felt a lingering fear.
Why was that woman so strong?
Goodness, what monstrous strength!
"This is just the beginning."
Looking at Master Roshi, who was just like Jiraiya, Tsunade was speechless.
How was it that she always encountered such oddballs wherever she went?
Orochimaru sharpened his knife: "Tsk, tsk, Narutoalways manages to surprise me."
This time was no different.
He figured King Piccolo's body would be enough for him to research for a long time.
"He's not really going to the Royal Capital, is he?"
"Naturally."
Orochimaru sneered: 'In my opinion, he should have acted long ago. He's been dragging his feet until now.'
"Shouldn't one do as they please once they have power?"
"Your thoughts are very dangerous, young man."
Master Roshi narrowed his eyes.
This snake-like fellow was dangerous, and his ideas were even more dangerous.
Lawless.
Perhaps only Naruto could keep him in check.
Orochimaru was noncommittal.
He did think that way. There would be time to slowly smooth over the consequences of acting forcefully.
But before that, this planet would have already been controlled by Naruto.
Why would he wait until now?
"Orochimaru, we are not like Naruto."
"It's already very difficult for someone as lazy as him to act now."
"He just likes to get what he wants with minimal effort."
"Look, it's happening."
Suddenly,
Just then, everyone present's gazes sharpened, fixed on the television…
