Chapter 1046: Little Brother, Nine-Tails!
Nine-Tails Island.
Originally, it was Onigashima.
A giant skull sits in the center of the island, gazing emptily in the direction of Wano Island.
However, compared to the lively atmosphere when the Beast Pirates occupied this place back then, it has long since become desolate and deserted, cold and lonely.
If night were to descend, it would appear even darker and more terrifying.
Only the sound of waves, one after another, constantly echoes back and forth on the island.
But it is precisely this seemingly harsh environment.
That makes the colossus lying asleep deep within the island feel incredibly peaceful and comfortable.
A large-bodied fox with fiery red fur and nine thick, long tails.
It is none other than the Nine-Tails, Kurama, who has been on this world for about three months!
With every breath the Nine-Tails took.
His snores would stir the surrounding air, turning into noticeable Wind Release that spread in all directions.
Occasionally, his swaying fox tails would gently strike the ground, creating a rumble and muffled thud like a drum sound.
This indicates that his mood is very pleasant.
Since arriving on this world.
Nine-Tails felt that every breath of air he took carried the fragrance of freedom.
He no longer had to live cramped in the small cage within a Jinchuriki's body, no longer had his mind occupied by hatred and anger, and no longer had to worry about being forcibly controlled and beaten up.
Here, for the first time, he had a territory and a homeland that belonged solely to him.
He could also jump into the sea anytime, enjoying the cool sensation while admiring the beautiful scenery of the seabed, and occasionally playing with the Sea Beasts.
Because around Wano Island, there was no need to worry about Sea Kings appearing.
The largest Sea Beasts here were those large carp.
They were truly adorable!
It was in such a calm and comfortable environment that the negative emotions like hatred, anger, resentment, and loathing accumulated in Nine-Tails' heart gradually got to vent and dissipate.
The true nature of Tailed Beasts is actually kind.
It can be said that the madness of the Tailed Beasts was entirely forced upon them by humans.
Therefore, not just Nine-Tails, but the Tailed Beasts located in various corners of this world all held a grateful mood towards the World Government.
Now, if anyone were to ask them to return to the Ninja World, they would definitely greet them with a Tailed Beast Bomb.
They would rather throw tantrums, roll around, wail, and beg for mercy than go back!
Nine-Tails had already decided that tomorrow he would go explore Wano Island across the way.
Anyway, as long as he didn't attack the towns, he could move freely.
Moreover, he could shrink his body size or use the Transformation Technique to turn into a human form.
That's right, Tailed Beasts can use Ninjutsu.
Because they themselves originated from the Ten-Tails' Chakra, they inherently possess all Chakra Natures.
Namely, Yin Release, Yang Release, Fire Attribute, Earth Attribute, Water Attribute, Wind Release, and Lightning Release.
The Tailed Beast Bomb is a super-density energy sphere formed by mixing and compressing Yin Release Chakra and Yang Release Chakra in a two-to-eight ratio.
At the same time, each Tailed Beast has its own proficient and preferred Chakra Nature.
For example, One-Tailed Shukaku is Wind Release.
Also, because of his Magnet Release ability, his Lightning Release Chakra should also be quite well-mastered.
Tailed Beasts like Son Goku, Saiken, Chomei, and Gyuki, which possess Bloodline Limit-like abilities, are basically proficient in two Chakra Natures.
For instance, Four-Tails Son Goku's Magma is a combination of Fire Attribute and Earth Attribute.
Saiken's Acid is Water Attribute and Yang Release, while Gyuki's Ink is Water Attribute and Yin Release.
And Nine-Tails is Yang Release and Fire Attribute.
Of course, they can also use Chakra of other Attributes.
It's just that they prefer to use a certain Chakra Attribute.
This also made Nine-Tails realize that he could actually use Chakra to walk on water.
So, these days he had been practicing this skill almost every day.
After all, a large Chakra amount doesn't mean good control over Chakra.
Where did they ever need Water Walking before?
"Hmm?!"
Just then, Nine-Tails' ears, which seemed to be in deep sleep, suddenly perked up and twitched twice.
Because he heard footsteps; someone actually dared to trespass on his Nine-Tails Island?
Nine-Tails slowly opened his fox eyes, filled with displeasure.
Are they people from Wano Island?
It seems he hasn't established his prestige since arriving here.
He decided to teach the other party a lesson and scare them!
As for killing them, he'd forget about that.
Although according to the rules, he had the full authority to kill anyone who trespassed on his territory without permission.
But being new here, there was really no need to stain his homeland with gore.
Moreover, scaring people away could also spread his prestige back to Wano Island, intimidating those curiosity-filled idiots!
Thinking of this, Nine-Tails bared his large mouth full of fangs and sneered.
Let's see how I scare you to death, hehehehe!
"Oh, what a cute little fox, and it really has nine tails!"
But the very next second after Nine-Tails got up.
In the castle located above the 'Skull', which was originally Kaido's residence, a pleasant female voice filled with intellectuality and mature charm rang out.
This made Nine-Tails freeze for a moment.
Because the footsteps he had just heard should still be on the second floor below.
"Who are you, daring to step into my territory!"
Nine-Tails glared with a pair of terrifying eyes.
He looked down from above at the woman in the white dress who walked in and shouted loudly.
At the same time, the aura on his body was released without reservation.
This instantly made the atmosphere incredibly oppressive and nervous.
"Hehehehehe."
However, the beauty in a well-fitting qipao that accentuated her graceful figure was not affected in the slightest. Instead, she revealed a captivating smile that charmed all beings.
"My name is Hong Lian, I come from the Imperial Arms World, and I am currently a Guardian Divine Beast on Noah's Ark. Hello there, Nine-Tails from the Ninja World~~ Also, I'm a Nine-Tailed Fox too, but this place is too small, how about we go outside and chat?"
The newcomer was none other than the 'Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox', Hong Lian, one of the Super Dangerous Beasts.
However, they generally didn't refer to themselves as Super Dangerous Beasts, preferring to call themselves Divine Beasts.
Of course, they once considered themselves deities.
But after joining the World Government, no one dared to call themselves that anymore.
Hong Lian had already been to the Mount Fuji Summit, the Sky Island called 'Divine Dragon Island', to visit Shen He, whom she hadn't seen in a while.
She also learned from her that another Nine-Tailed Fox had arrived on Wano Island.
This piqued her interest.
Because in Hong Lian's understanding, the birth of every Nine-Tailed Fox was extremely difficult.
So, as soon as she came down from 'Divine Dragon Island', she headed straight for this 'Nine-Tails Island'.
Now she finally saw him.
Just from the appearance, Hong Lian was satisfied.
This Nine-Tails from the Ninja World indeed looked very majestic, his fur color was pure and bright, and his body size was also similar to hers, which was great!
And his strength didn't seem very strong either; the aura he was currently emitting was only about the same as when she was still a Six-Tails.
But it didn't matter, she had come to recruit a subordinate anyway.
Someone too strong wouldn't be very suitable.
"Imperial Arms World? Guardian Divine Beast?"
"You're also a Nine-Tailed Fox!"
Hearing this, Kurama looked at Hong Lian with curiosity: "But why do you have a human aura on you?"
He really hadn't noticed that the other party wasn't human before.
"Hehehehehe, because I ate the Human-Human Fruit, little brother~~"
Hong Lian smiled like a flower, her ice-blue eyes full of playfulness.
The more she looked at Nine-Tails, the more satisfied she became; it seemed she would have a companion from now on.
"A Devil Fruit, huh... Wait! What did you just call me?!"
Nine-Tails reacted, flying into a rage, immediately baring his fangs.
Hong Lian gently raised her fair palm and brushed her snowy white hair, smiling charmingly.
"Little brother, if you have an opinion, we can go outside and try. And I can show you how beautiful your sister is~~"
