Chapter 1227: Eh, Has He Already Become a 'Vessel'?
"Ahhhhhh—"
"What the hell did you put inside me, you bastard!"
Aramaki, realizing the Kāma had pierced his chest, became even more panicked, instinctively struggling desperately.
However, the Chakra Rods stuck in various parts of his body prevented him from using even a shred of strength.
His stamina, Haki, and Mori Mori no Mi ability were all sealed by them.
Unless he could be like Uzumaki Naruto in the canon, who had the Nine-Tails as a second energy source to forcefully break free from the Chakra Rods on his body.
Unfortunately, he couldn't.
So he could only lie on the ground, watching helplessly as Jigen did as he pleased.
"Relax, you won't die, but I'm taking you with me."
Jigen was actually quite wary of the World Government.
Whether it was the considerable number of experts or the Star Gates that could connect various worlds, they gave him a feeling of unfathomable depth.
So after implanting the Kāma, he planned to keep Aramaki by his side and quietly wait for the data to completely unseal within his body.
Otherwise, if Aramaki went to other worlds or received strict protection from the World Government.
Then, even if the data unsealed, it would be too difficult for him to find Aramaki again.
As for the method of taking him away, it was actually quite convenient.
[Swish!]
Aramaki noticed Jigen's figure instantly vanish, unsure where he went.
In the past, he could have used Observation Haki to sense his position, but now he could only rely on his naked eyes.
"What is this!"
Soon, Aramaki discovered that the soil beneath him had, at some point, turned into a dark and smooth surface, which seemed to be rumbling and rising upwards.
At the same time, a large shadow enveloped him. Aramaki struggled to look up.
He immediately saw a black circular lid with a red aura around its edge slowly descending towards him, breaking through the cloud layer.
This made Aramaki completely despair. Was he about to be sealed away?
Jigen, appearing in mid-air, watched coldly as the Sealing Cauldron gradually closed.
He planned to seal Aramaki into the Cauldron, then shrink the Cauldron and place it in the domain of Daikokuten, finally sending it to the Dimensional Space where the Ten-Tails was confined.
Normally, the unsealing time for the Kāma would be no more than half a year at most.
The reason Kawaki's unsealing time was so long was because Amado secretly gave him medicine that delayed the unsealing.
In other words, if everything went smoothly.
Otsutsuki Isshiki would completely body possess Aramaki within just a few months, achieving true resurrection.
He just didn't know if the Mori Mori no Mi ability could be inherited?
Logically, it shouldn't, as being body possessed essentially meant dying, and the Devil Fruit would immediately leave the deceased's body.
But Otsutsuki Isshiki wanted to try and retain the Devil Fruit ability using the Otsutsuki's technological means.
So next, he planned to capture a few Devil Fruit users for research.
Thinking of such a wonderful and interesting future, Jigen's gaze became incredibly fervent.
He greedily watched the Sealing Cauldron, which was less than a meter away and about to completely close.
[Bang!]
Nothing seemed to have gone wrong, but Jigen's reaction was somewhat strange.
His originally smiling expression suddenly froze, then instantly turned into an angry and ferocious look.
"Who!!!"
Because he sensed that at the moment the 'Lid' and the 'Cauldron' were about to join together.
Aramaki's aura suddenly disappeared without a trace.
This was definitely some kind of space ability that had transferred Aramaki!
His duck, which was already in his mouth, had flown away, and Jigen couldn't help but let out a roar.
His eyes, filled with malice, scanned back and forth, while also sensing the aura in every corner.
However, nearly a minute passed, and he found nothing.
On the other side, within the dimly green-lit dimensional space.
Im examined Aramaki, who was covered in blood and had Chakra Rods stuck all over him.
Little Kaguya stood on his shoulder, and behind him was Otsutsuki Hagoromo.
They had actually followed the Kongo Nyoi here an hour ago.
Seeing Aramaki engaged in a fierce battle with Jigen, they had hidden in this domain to observe in secret.
He mainly wanted to see how far Aramaki could push Jigen and also understand Jigen's strength.
Ideally, Aramaki could force the Otsutsuki Isshiki within Jigen out.
Unfortunately, he had overestimated Aramaki.
It made sense, Jigen's 'Kāma Second State'.
Even Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke, after the 'Fourth Great Ninja War', were no match for him when they teamed up.
Perfect Susanoo and Nine-Tails Chakra Mode were even blasted away by Jigen with a single strike.
The technique, speed, strength, perception, and ability he displayed suppressed the two in almost every aspect.
Although the current Aramaki actually possessed the strength of 'Green Bull' from the canon eighteen years later.
He was even slightly stronger in Haki technique, as he had now even learned Ryuo.
But to defeat Jigen alone, the difficulty was still too high.
Of course, the key was still the Giant Cube's powerful restraint effect on Observation Haki.
Im was actually somewhat wary of this point, but fortunately, he had already thought of a method to deal with it.
"This guy is still so strong. Over a thousand years of combat experience have given him extraordinary combat technique. Even within the entire Otsutsuki Main Family, Isshiki is one of the outstanding ones!"
Little Kaguya gritted her teeth as she looked at Otsutsuki Isshiki outside through the surface of the domain, which had a faint green light.
Compared to him, she was merely a maid-like existence back then.
She was specifically a sacrifice meant to be fed to the Ten-Tails and received no cultivation whatsoever.
This was why, even after eating the most supreme Chakra Fruit and awakening the unprecedented Rinne Sharingan, she still couldn't fully utilize her energy and ability.
It was fine for dealing with weaker opponents, but when facing a strong enemy with similar strength.
She could only cling to life with her undying ability characteristic.
But this didn't mean she had no concerns. Leaving aside the existence of sealing means.
With the Otsutsuki's super means of energy conversion.
As long as she was controlled, she could be turned into a Chakra Fruit at any time.
This was why Otsutsuki Kaguya was so afraid of the descent of the Heavenly People.
This was something Otsutsuki Hagoromo and Otsutsuki Hamura completely couldn't understand.
The so-called ignorance is bliss, that's how it is.
"Over a thousand years of combat experience and technique, huh?"
Im was lost in thought, casually drawing out the Chakra Rods from Aramaki's body through the air.
He remembered that the Otsutsuki Clan seemed to be proficient in various martial arts.
For example, Otsutsuki Momoshiki was skilled in Bagua Palm, Chakra Point Strike, and even knew some Wing Chun, Tai Chi, and the like.
He even wielded long weapons like the Guan Dao with impressive skill.
Otsutsuki Isshiki was the same.
He could suppress Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke's close-quarters melee combat with just his martial arts, and his Staff Technique was even more exquisite.
So these people from the Otsutsuki Main Family were very skilled in combat technique.
In comparison, Aramaki, or rather, most Sea Star powerhouses including Garp.
Their martial arts style focused more on pure strength and speed, combined with the powerful sensory ability of Observation Haki.
Only swordsmen like himself would pursue technique and realm.
In this aspect, the Otsutsuki Clan couldn't gain an advantage, at most they could contend with people at the level of a Sword Master.
Meanwhile.
Aramaki was in a state of confusion.
He blankly stared at Im floating in mid-air, and Otsutsuki Hagoromo behind him.
He hadn't met Otsutsuki Hagoromo, but the Rinnegan eyes were familiar.
Madara Uchiha had used them during his challenge match with Kaido before.
So Aramaki could roughly guess that Otsutsuki Hagoromo was a Ninja World person.
This immediately made Aramaki wary.
Was he being targeted by another Ninja World bastard?
But Im's action of drawing out the Kāma just now made him speculate that this might be an ally.
Crucially, he sensed Haki on Im, and it was extremely powerful Haki!
Although there were now otherworlders who had mastered the strength of Haki.
Such a powerful aura, so powerful that even just standing there made him feel a strong crisis, definitely belonged to an expert from the Sea Star.
"Hagoromo, you explain it to him."
After speaking, Im instantly disappeared from the original spot, leaving this Dimensional Space, but he left Little Kaguya behind.
Little Kaguya also understood that going with him would only be in the way.
She immediately jumped onto the eldest son's shoulder.
Her pair of pale eyes landed on Aramaki, filled with intense curiosity.
"Your strength is pretty good. How many more people like you does the World Government have?"
She felt that the combat power Aramaki displayed was already sufficient to participate in battles between Otsutsuki.
This was already very impressive!
"Uh..."
Aramaki thought to himself: Who are you? Can you tell me who you are first!
He then looked at Otsutsuki Hagoromo, wanting to hear the explanation of the situation from him first.
But who knew Little Kaguya would speak again, looking at the Kāma on his chest, and sighing softly:
"Eh, has he already become a 'Vessel'?"
