Throughout the entire Naruto world, the person Karl was most wary of was not the living Madara Uchiha, nor was it the progenitor of chakra, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, who was sealed in the moon, but the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, whose physical body had died but whose soul still remained in this world, not dissipating for a thousand years, and who could appear in the world of the living at any time to grant the Yin and Yang powers to the reincarnations of his two sons.
Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, who had mastered the pinnacle of Yin-Yang Release and could even seal gods with the Six Paths — Chibaku Tensei, was definitely the "God of Magic" of this world.
Karl, whose physical body was invincible and who could definitely be called the "God of War" in the pirate world, was the exact opposite of Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki.
So, between the God of Magic and the God of War, who was stronger?
Without a doubt, it was definitely the God of Magic, who had mastered more than one rule-based ability.
This was the reason why, in a fantasy world, the status of a mage was always higher than that of a warrior.
With Karl's current strength, he could kill anyone, but he could absolutely not kill a person's soul.
Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, on the other hand, could not kill a person, but he could kill their soul; and even if he couldn't kill their soul, he could seal both their body and soul.
If his opponent were the Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki of a thousand years ago, Karl would definitely not dare to appear in this world, because he had no chance of winning!
Even now, Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki was still Karl's greatest enemy, bar none.
Although he had shed his physical body and no longer had the possibility of growth, his realm had transformed from a mortal to a god-like world will, achieving immortality like his mother.
Not only could he freely travel between the worlds of the dead and the living, but he could also interfere in the world of the living and summon the souls of the dead to help the living. Such authority was no different from that of a "Lord of the World."
Compared to him, Imu of the pirate world, who had lived for eight hundred years, was simply too low.
Therefore...
Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki was the greatest hurdle for Karl to conquer this world.
To turn this world into one of his playgrounds, he had to find a way to deal with Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki.
For this, Karl had prepared several plans, and then screened out the two most useful ones.
The first plan—stall!
Karl's greatest golden finger was the lottery system, and that infinitely evolving Monster Physique.
The lottery system, which was once every five years, had a guaranteed prize of at least the level of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, which was second only to the three Egyptian Gods. If he was a little luckier, he might even be able to get a treasure like the Spear of Mystery or the "double-pass."
If his luck was good five years later, Karl might be able to draw a rule-based ability and no longer need to be wary of Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki.
This was one of the reasons why Karl was hiding behind the scenes and had handed over the management of the Golden Nation to Doflamingo.
However, Karl had not expected that Charlotte Linlin, who was the weakest and most timid, would actually become the first among the five emperor forces to clear the pirate emperor stage in less than two months, and would severely stimulate the three of them, Blackbeard, Kaido, and Shanks.
The ninjas of this world were not to be trifled with either. In less than two months, they had grasped the intelligence of the five emperor forces, indirectly destroying Karl's first plan.
Karl, who had no time to stall, could only, like Blackbeard, speed up his conquest.
So, Karl activated his second plan.
That was—to use magic to defeat magic!
As a transmigrator who knew the plot well, Karl was clear that this world was actually a family feud of the Ōtsutsuki clan.
The root of everything was the Chakra Fruit.
Below the Chakra Fruit were the nine-tomoe Rinne Sharingan and the three great dōjutsu.
To become a Six Paths-level powerhouse, one either had to master the ultimate Yin-Yang power and natural energy, or become the jinchūriki of the Ten-Tails.
Among them, the jinchūriki of the Ten-Tails was undoubtedly a tier above the single Yin-Yang power.
After all, the characteristics of immortality and nullification of ninjutsu were enough to make all ninjas feel despair.
Besides sealing, or using a physical destructive power that surpassed the Six Paths level to completely break down the Ten-Tails jinchūriki, like Cell in Dragon Ball, and make it spit out the nine tailed beasts, there was simply no way to deal with the Ten-Tails jinchūriki.
As long as one became the jinchūriki of the Ten-Tails, they would master the Kekkei Mōra, which surpassed Kekkei Genkai and Kekkei Tōta, and all nature transformations and shape transformations, and even the natural energy required for senjutsu, completing a true one-step ascent to heaven.
After becoming a Six Paths-level powerhouse, one could reclaim the chakra of the ninja world, and at that time, even the Lord of the World, Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, would definitely not be a match for a complete Ten-Tails jinchūriki.
Because the gap between that Ten-Tails jinchūriki and Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki was only the difference in experience between the first and second Ten-Tails jinchūriki.
But Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, who had no physical body, could only be on par with, or even slightly inferior to, the Ten-Tails jinchūriki by relying on his pinnacle-level Yin-Yang Release and Six Paths Senjutsu.
The key to becoming the jinchūriki of the Ten-Tails was the Rinnegan.
The first pair of Rinnegan in the ninja world was Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki's Rinnegan.
After Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki's death, the whereabouts of the Rinnegan had long been unknown, and it might even have been destroyed.
Black Zetsu, who didn't even have the courage to stand in front of his two older brothers, obviously didn't dare to set his sights on Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki's Rinnegan.
To save his mother, Black Zetsu had schemed for a thousand years, and had only just made Madara Uchiha awaken the second pair of Rinnegan in the ninja world, which was also the only pair of Rinnegan in the ninja world now.
As long as he obtained the Rinnegan and transplanted it, and after he had enough chakra, even if he was not the original owner of the Rinnegan, he could still sense the existence of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and summon it, and in the simplest and most brutal way, have it eat the nine tailed beasts of the ninja world and recover its peak strength.
By sealing the Ten-Tails, which had regained the power of the nine tailed beasts, in his body, he could complete the sublimation of his realm and become the truly invincible person in this world.
Karl's second plan was to get the Rinnegan, and then let someone become the jinchūriki of the Ten-Tails. The God of War and the God of Magic would then join forces and completely sweep through this world.
Black Zetsu, Madara Uchiha, and Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki's soul obviously did not know Karl's plan.
The former didn't even know that the Rinnegan was lost, or who had taken it.
Because after getting the Rinnegan, Karl had put it in a saline bottle and stored it in the space of Myskina Olga's Castle-Castle Fruit.
