The three legendary pirates attacked together, and a mere Satori was no match for them. It was completely overpowered, beaten relentlessly like a sandbag.
In the past, Whitebeard, Roger, and Shiki could have also defeated Satori, but not as effortlessly as they did now. However, thanks to Lucas's Edo Tensei enhancement, their strength had skyrocketed.
Techniques that once required massive chakra reserves and long cooldowns could now be used freely and continuously. Against such overwhelming power, Satori never stood a chance.
By the end of the battle, the monster was obliterated into dust, and the Box of Bliss was completely destroyed. Kusagakure was reduced to rubble, along with the ragtag forces that had gathered in an attempt to challenge Lucas.
With this victory, no force in the Ninja World dared to oppose Lucas or Tenkagakure [Hidden Village of the World] . Even those who had been hesitant—clans, ninja factions from overseas islands, and the underground black market—reluctantly acknowledged reality and went to Tenkagakure to register.
And with that, the entire Ninja World changed.
Spy operations, secret battles, and political tension vanished overnight. With no more scattered ninja villages, there were no spies sneaking around, and no wars threatening to engulf the world at any moment.
For the first time in history, peace and stability took root in the Ninja World.
Tenkagakure – Lucas's Office
Standing by the window in the Tenkage [Heavenly Shadow] Office, Lucas silently observed the village below.
The reason?
He was providing live vision to the chat group members.
In the Chat Group
Senju Hashirama: "Tenkagakure is even more prosperous and peaceful than Konoha... I truly hope this peace lasts forever."
Uchiha Madara: "Tch, eternal peace? That's not so simple. Conflict is rooted in human nature—it's nearly impossible to eliminate. However, as long as the Group Leader's rule remains absolute, ninja wars won't break out."
Lucas: "No, you're wrong! While fighting may never be completely eradicated, achieving overall peace is possible."
Senju Tobirama: "Oh? What's your plan, Group Leader?"
Uchiha Madara: "I'm curious too. I've lived through the First, Second, and Third Ninja Wars, and no matter how peaceful things seem now, I can't relax."
Senju Hashirama: "Madara, what do you mean?"
Uchiha Madara: "It's simple. After every Ninja War, there was always a temporary period of peace—just like what we're seeing now. But after about twenty years, war would break out again."
Howard Stark: "A twenty-year truce? That sounds just like what happened in my world. The arrogance and greed of the victors led to another war."
Uchiha Madara: "No, that's not the reason. The twenty-year truce exists because it takes time to raise and train a new generation of soldiers. The moment enough new ninjas exist to replenish military forces, war begins again."
Uchiha Madara: "Right now, the ninja world is at peace, but that's only because so many ninjas died in the unification battles led by the Group Leader. Every remaining ninja has a role, a purpose. But if the ninja population grows too large and there aren't enough missions to go around… war will return."
Uchiha Madara: "Of course, this time is different. With the Group Leader's power, war may never break out again."
Lucas sighed. "Madara, seems like you didn't just sit around doing nothing all those years in hiding."
Uchiha Madara: "Hahaha! I spent years underground in darkness. Thinking was the only thing I had to pass the time."
Lucas: "But don't worry. What you're talking about won't be an issue. The Ninja World is unified now—there's no longer any need for expansion or conquest. As long as we control the number of ninjas and ensure everyone has a role, peace will be maintained."
Lucas had seen similar historical cycles in his previous world's history classes—the rise, prosperity, and decline of nations. That knowledge gave him a strategic advantage in maintaining control over Tenkagakure.
Uchiha Madara: "That could work… but managing it will be a huge undertaking."
Lucas: "No need to stress about it—after all, I have a whole bunch of 'tools' like you guys to handle the workload, don't I?"
The Chat Group's Reaction
Tool Members: "…"
Lucas: "Believe me, advancements in science and technology will make most problems easier to solve. As long as the world develops rapidly, people will be too distracted to focus on minor issues."
Senju Tobirama: "Group Leader, what are your plans for the Ninja World now?"
Lucas: "I'll focus on training elite fighters and managers to prepare for the takeover of the Pirate World government. At the same time, I'll introduce advanced technology from the Pirate World to accelerate global development."
Pirate King Roger: "Wait… I just realized something. What about the daimyos in this world? Aren't they technically the rulers? Ninjas were originally just mercenaries hired by them."
Lucas: "Daimyos? Let them stay for now. Too many ninjas still cling to outdated traditions and blindly respect them."
Sword God Ryuma: "Only weak ninjas care about daimyo. Those with true power look down on figureheads who hold nothing but empty titles."
Lucas: "Exactly. As long as I don't take them seriously, they won't be a problem. Once I bring the ninjas into the Pirate World, I can deal with them however I like."
Uchiha Madara: "Hah… Suddenly, I regret it. Why did I ever believe the stone tablet's prophecy? If I hadn't, I could have unified the Ninja World myself after Hashirama's death!"
Senju Hashirama: "???"
Senju Tobirama: "Seems like Black Zetsu really fooled you! If you hadn't been obsessed with Infinite Tsukuyomi, you might have resurfaced to shake the world after my brother's death."
Uchiha Madara: "Tobirama, what are you implying? If I had unified the Ninja World, it would have been at peace a long time ago!"
Senju Tobirama: "No, it wouldn't. You lack three things—the Group Leader's power, his strategic mind, and the resources at his disposal. Without those, you'd never achieve the same results."
Sensing another argument brewing between his brother and Madara, Hashirama quickly changed the subject.
Senju Hashirama: "Group Leader, what should us 'living dead' do now?"
Lucas: "Do whatever you want, as long as it doesn't disrupt the bigger picture."
New Members Join the Chat Group!
Ding! Tatsumi has joined the chat group!
Ding! Lo Pei has joined the chat group!
Ding! Han Fei has joined the chat group!
Ding! Dongfang Yuechu has joined the chat group!
Ding! Liu Xing has joined the chat group!
A series of system notifications rang out, announcing the arrival of five new members.
Seeing their names, Lucas hesitated.
"Are these the people I know?"
If so… then almost all of them died tragic deaths.
Tatsumi – The protagonist from Akame ga Kill. He died in the anime finale, but survived in the manga.
Lo Pei – The old mage from Jackie Chan Adventures. That show had barely any deaths… so how did he end up here?
Han Fei – If this was the Han Fei from his world history, Lucas knew little about him. But if it was Han Fei from The Legend of Qin, then he definitely died in the story. [a significant character in the Qin's Moon (秦时明月) spin-off, Nine Songs of the Moving Heavens (天行九歌). is a Chinese animated series produced by Sparkly Key Animation Studio. It serves as a prequel to "Qin's Moon" (also known as "The Legend of Qin") and focuses on the events leading up to the unification of China under the Qin dynasty. The series centers on Han Fei, the Ninth Prince of the Han State, and his formation of the clandestine group known as Quicksand. The narrative delves into the political intrigue, power struggles, and alliances during the Warring States period, highlighting Han Fei's strategic genius and his efforts to strengthen the Han State against internal and external threats. The show combines historical elements with fictional storytelling, offering a rich portrayal of ancient China's complex socio-political landscape]
Dongfang Yuechu – If it was the one from Fox Spirit Matchmaker, then yes, he was definitely dead. [Dongfang Yuechu (东方月初) is a major character in Fox Spirit Matchmaker. Fox Spirit Matchmaker is a Chinese anime (donghua) adapted from the manhua (comic) of the same name. It blends romance, fantasy, and historical elements, set in a world where humans and spirits (mainly fox spirits) coexist, but their love is often fleeting due to the short lifespan of humans. a world where humans and fox spirits share history, the Tu Shan fox clan runs a matchmaking service that helps reincarnated lovers rekindle past-life memories to continue their romance. The story follows various couples, with a central focus on Tu Shan Honghong, a powerful fox spirit, and Dongfang Yuechu, the successor of the Dongfang family.]
Liu Xing – If this was Liu Xing from Stealing Star September, then he shouldn't have died… [a Chinese manhua series. In this series, the main character is Liu Xing, he story revolves around Liu Xing and a mysterious girl named Jiu Yue (September). Their fates intertwine as they navigate a world filled with supernatural events, secret organizations, and complex relationships.]
[*Tl: A new member, but 3 are from Chinese story, I tried my best to find and explain who this people are since most reader will probably have know ideas where this character came from. Sorry if there to many explanation]
"Interesting."
Lucas smirked.
"The chat group keeps expanding, and its features are improving."
After the last new member joined, the chat group had unlocked a new function—the ability to view the past lives of group members.
Activating the feature, Lucas examined the five newcomers.
A moment later, his expression became strange.
"These five unlucky guys… all of them, without exception, were killed because of transmigrators!"
Even those who were supposed to survive in their original worlds had their fates altered because of otherworldly interferences.
In the Chat Group
Tatsumi: "A… chat group? Chat Group for the Dead?"
Lo Pei: "Spirits?! Bah! Lo Pei is already dead! How can consciousness remain? This must be black magic!"
Tatsumi: "Dead? Yeah… I guess I am. Damn it! Why did that random bastard kill me?!"
Dongfang Yuechu: "I do recall dying… Tell me, what kind of spell is this? If you have nothing important to say, don't interrupt me—I'm off to reincarnate and seek revenge."
Han Fei: "A spirit? Reincarnation? No! I haven't even realized my ambitions yet—why am I dead?!"
Golden Lion Shiki: "Shihahaha! I like this batch of newcomers! All of them have guts, unlike those paranoid ninjas!"
Senju Tobirama: "Bastard Golden Lion, who are you calling paranoid?"
Golden Lion Shiki: "Who else? You ninjas! Always scheming and suspicious! What, you don't like being called out?"
Uchiha Shisui: "Being cautious is a fundamental skill for any ninja. If anything, I'm proud of it!"
Senju Tobirama: "Well said!"
