Chapter 281: Jiraiya's Prophecy Text

"Eh, Navy, but, a large sum of payment, this..."

Nami had originally wanted to refuse; after all, even if they were the hostile Navy, they were still considered a local force of the Pirate World.

However, the blonde Tsunade before her was clearly from an otherworldly faction; any player from a different world would instinctively guard against those from other worlds, treating them as imaginary enemies in their subconscious.

Uzumaki Naruto and Luffy were the two eccentric exceptions.

However,

The large sum of payment mentioned by the blonde Tsunade—Reward Points, which were called intelligence fees in the ninja world—was something Nami found very covetous.

Seeing the hesitant Nami, Tsunade was not in a hurry and said, "Still a very naive player. You have absolutely no need to worry. The appearance of the Samsara Game and the Family System has long blurred the concept of worlds. Regardless of whether there is a world barrier blocking us, only players with the same beliefs can become partners."

This was a conclusion she had only reached after arriving at the Arad map.

The Konoha that she had once regarded as a treasure had experienced the ups and downs of being destroyed and then rebuilt in the Hot Water Village.

Under the leadership of Sarutobi, they still carved out the Hokage Rock and built the Hokage Building; even most of the Ninja Clans were familiar faces, as if there hadn't been any major changes.

However,

Tsunade no longer had that sense of familiarity.

After pondering for a long time, she realized it was because the beliefs of the ninja and the Shadow had changed.

It was no longer about upholding the Will of Fire, burning oneself as firewood to protect the village, but rather treating the village as a weapon to realize their own desires.

This new belief was not something Tsunade wanted to protect, so she had long since lost any attachment to the New Konoha.

Staying there any longer was simply because there was no better place to go.

"If you want the payment, contact me at any time."

A business card was condensed into existence.

Tsunade could tell that the orange-haired girl was very greedy for money and had already been tempted by the payment she mentioned.

Since she couldn't make a decision for the moment, they would contact each other later.

"Ms. Tsunade."

Sanji held a rose that was still stained with dew and exuded a faint fragrance.

This was a signature item he kept in his inventory slot.

He adjusted his facial muscles to the peak of handsomeness, condensed his own business card, and said, "If you don't mind, you can contact me at any time. I am willing to give my all for you."

"You damn perverted cook, Tsunade is not a woman you can covet!"

Jiraiya was furious at the sight.

Where did this perverted brat come from? Did the other world not have law enforcement departments? Such a pervert should be executed.

"Don't keep wasting time, Jiraiya."

After taking the business card, Tsunade said to her companion, "Do you want Naruto and Sasuke to face those Navy members alone?"

Although the 【Life Lock】 was still on cooldown,

as long as they tried their best to avoid falling into danger and desperate situations, the two of them were still the top-tier combat power.

Taking advantage of the fact that the information about the 【Dragon Tower】 had not yet spread, they should hunt down the Lord-level monster as soon as possible to obtain generous Reward Points and Rule-type Items.

Otherwise, once the tough nuts like the Hidden Mist and Hidden Rock also learned of the existence of the Lord-level monster, it would become very troublesome for them to hunt it.

"I understand."

When it was time to be serious, Jiraiya never faltered and followed Tsunade out of the town.

After leaving the town area, Jiraiya took a deep breath, stretched out his palm to gesture in the air, and finally said, "Wind Slime!"

An invisible ripple radiated out, and countless black characters appeared out of thin air, twisting together to form a massive, enormous emerald-green slime.

Its jelly-like body radiated a cyan-green light, wreathed in wind rings.

This was his ability, 【Prophecy Text】.

Similar to the 【Cursed Speech】 of the jujutsu world, or the 【Text Magic】 of some magic worlds, it triggered all kinds of miraculous powers through writing Talismans and chanting.

Controlling elements, healing wounds, creating items, cursing enemies, opening portals, realizing wishes, changing reality—this was his will after becoming a Reincarnation Game Player. The original him,

constantly pursued ethereal prophecies, searching the world for the Child of Prophecy, but the result was that it was all just a dream. The village he wanted to protect was destroyed, his best friend fell into darkness, the woman he loved did not accept his love... everything felt like fate was deliberately teasing him.

It wasn't until the appearance of the Samsara Game that he finally woke up.

He claimed to be looking for the Child of Prophecy, yet chose the most foolish method of traveling alone.

He said he didn't want his best friend to fall, but did nothing, watching him sink into the mire.

He talked about loving the village, but shirked his responsibilities, leaving for years at a time.

He shouted about loving Tsunade, while keeping that love only on his lips.

His own first half of life,

was actually spent in mediocrity.

Therefore, he ultimately chose the 【Prophecy Text】 game ability.

Most prophecy abilities were biased toward the mysterious and auxiliary side: intuition, sixth sense, foreseeing the future, divination, and so on.

But he went against the grain, choosing the niche combat prophecy.

His first half of life was spent listening to the arrangements of prophecies; now, it was a redemption for the second half of his life.

"So amazing!"

The Straw Hat Crew standing on the city wall watched as he rode on the Wind Slime transformed from black characters, especially Luffy, whose eyes were shining.

"Let's go take a look too!"

Luffy said impatiently.

He came to the other world to begin with for adventure; such a rare Lord-level monster naturally could not be ignored by him.

"I agree."

Sanji's gaze had never left the blonde Tsunade's ample bosom from start to finish.

Hearing this, she agreed without hesitation.

Bang.

Nami hit him hard on the head with her fist and said, "I agree too."

That was a Lord-level monster, if they could defeat it... her eyes were shining with the glow of money.

"Let's go."

Seeing everyone eager to give it a try, Zoro jumped straight off the city wall and ran in the opposite direction.

Robin covered her mouth and chuckled, "I also want to see the monster history of Arad Continent; by the way, Mr. Zoro, you are heading in the wrong direction."

"Adventure, adventure!"

The reindeer suddenly grew larger, and fine patterns appeared all over his body.

Chopper, like that Marine Vice Admiral defeated by Shanks, had exchanged for the Vastaya Bloodline, possessing powerful combat instincts.

It was just that Chopper's Awakened ability leaned toward the healing type.

He could release a healing light through his antlers to treat injured companions.

Hum.

Nami waved her staff,

The air temperature dropped suddenly, and countless fine, sand-like frost appeared in the air, then continuously gathered, finally forming a Magic Creation.

【Frost Drill Car】.

A huge frost drill covered the front of the vehicle, rotating continuously and emitting bursts of chilling cold.

The Straw Hat Crew climbed into the carriage,

The massive Frost Drill Car rushed toward the direction where the Wind Slime had left.

"Wait, there are people ahead!"
