Chapter 223: Meet Like An Old Friend, Fight Like A Sworn Enemy
From an outsider's point of view, maybe Yuichi and the others were not moving, but even the people in the Pirate World were getting a little anxious.
"Haven't the Five Emperors dispatched yet?! When will this be?!"
"The enemy forces are nearly united. If the formidable Madara Uchiha links up with his two allies, we will face an unstoppable threat."
Although ordinary people didn't know the strength of these two people who had just come to the Pirate World, in the final analysis, those who could meet the invasion conditions were all S-level combat power. No matter how bad such a person was, how bad could they be? Just one Uchiha Madara had the power to almost destroy an entire island. If you added two companions to help, no matter what the invasion mission of these people was this time, it seemed that it would not be too difficult to complete.
Because Yuichi and the others did not take any action on the screen, there was no footage of Yuichi, Whitebeard, and the others at all. People could only know the movements of the Five Emperors through the movements of the Marines and their conversations.
Time went by little by little. The first fleet had almost arrived at the target location.
However, at this time, Madara and Hashirama had seen each other. The waves slapped, and Madara, who was speeding on the sea, rushed towards the deserted island where Hashirama was located at rocket-like speed. When the distance between the two was close enough to see each other, both of them stared at each other immediately.
Nagato saw the eyes of Hashirama and Madara and immediately felt something was wrong.
At this moment, the people of the Pirate World were worried.
"Oops, the enemy has united! And the two seem to know each other... they seem to be friends!"
"This is even worse. If the two are friends, their tacit understanding must be different from that of ordinary people, and it will be even more difficult to deal with!"
The flying Madara stood on the sea and suddenly stopped three thousand meters away from the deserted island. Madara, who seemed impatient at first, seemed much calmer after seeing Hashirama with his own eyes. The two just stared at each other silently, and neither of them spoke at first.
The waves were beating, and the sea breeze was blowing gently. Such a scene seemed very peaceful, but only Nagato, who was there, knew that it was not as peaceful as it seemed.
Haven't these two people given up on their past grievances?
Nagato carefully looked at Madara in front of him. He was not only thinking about his and Hashirama's problems but also about the Akatsuki organization. But on this occasion, it was definitely not suitable to ask anything.
"It's been a long time, Hashirama!"
"Indeed! Madara, I never imagined our paths would cross again like this!"
A simultaneous smile broke across their faces, their expressions radiating a genuine, heartfelt joy.
Just looking at this scene, even the people in the Ninja World began to feel relieved. Looking at Madara's crazy and ferocious face at the beginning, and the sunny smile now, it looked like two different people. Some people even began to wonder if Madara was schizophrenic!
"I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Madara looked at Hashirama.
Hashirama sighed, put away his smile, and looked a little dignified. "I know! Then, you won't let me down this time!"
Hearing this, Hashirama frowned. "I'm afraid I still have to disappoint you!"
"No! It's not your decision this time!"
Hashirama: "This time it's about two worlds. Our business can't..."
"I don't care what the world will be like, and I don't care what other people think. All I do is what I want to do! You are still as paranoid as ever!" Madara opened his hands to show him this world. "Hashirama, you are still as simple as ever!"
This was a brand new world, something beyond their recognition. And beyond the world, there were countless such worlds. They should not be confined to a corner of the Ninja World, but should focus on the heavens and the myriad worlds. This was what Madara wanted Hashirama to see.
And Hashirama understood what Madara meant. After all, the two were once sworn friends, and Hashirama could understand Madara's meaning without saying a word, just from his every move. But Madara looked at him with stubborn eyes. Madara never changed his character. What he wanted to do, what he thought, would never change!
"Does it have to be like this?" Hashirama was a bit disappointed. He had a lot of arguments he wanted to use to convince Madara! But in the end, he still couldn't say anything.
However, Madara suddenly laughed. "Defeat me! And I'll listen to you!"
Simple but powerful words. Hashirama looked straight at Madara with his head raised and deep eyes, as if he was going to see through his heart, as if he had seen through Madara's thoughts!
"Good!"
After a few seconds of silence, Hashirama gave a simple word. After the voice fell, the whole sea seemed to be quiet in an instant, leaving only the whistling wind and the ever-moving tide. The moment the swell hit the reef, there was a bright crashing sound.
BOOM!!!
The moment the sound of seawater hitting the reef sounded, a terrifying air explosion detonated at the same time.
Two people! Two figures! They vanished at the same time!
Immediately afterwards, Hashirama, who jumped up from the rocks and fell straight down, appeared in midair, and Madara, who jumped up into the sky at the same time, collided in the air. It was just a collision of strength, and the violent wind created by the two of them was like a terrifying giant wave sweeping around. The sea receded and the trees fell.
BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!
The terrifying Chakra fluctuations erupted instantly, and the Chakra impact of the two intertwined and gathered together. This suddenly changed from a point of light to a giant blue Chakra ball. In an instant, the two separated.
The positions of Madara and Hashirama were reversed. Madara, who was knocked into the air, landed on the deserted island, and Hashirama, who fell down, stood firmly on the sea, the huge impact causing massive splashes.
Poof~
The moment the two landed on the ground and stabilized their figures, Madara let out a crazy roar.
"Exhilarating! Hashirama! I have waited too long for this battle. I knew you would definitely come back! If you saw me here, you would definitely come! Sure enough, I didn't guess wrong, you really came! You don't have to worry about it this time. This is another world; you and I can finally fight with all our strength!"
Facing Madara's roar, Hashirama just sighed softly. The battle seemed inevitable.
I don't know what kind of mood the civilians in the Ninja World were in, looking at their hope fighting among themselves at this moment. However, at this time, everyone in the Ninja World felt extremely speechless. They were doing well, so why did the two suddenly start fighting? Didn't they still talk and laugh in the last second? It was like a scene where old friends met—the wind was sunny, and the background was the endless beautiful sea horizon. Under such circumstances, the two should shake hands in a friendly manner, and then fight together to protect the world. Why did the two fight directly in the blink of an eye?
And when the image of the God of Ninja Hashirama and Madara fighting appeared, everyone was dumbfounded. They were completely shocked by the power of the two of them. With just one blow, such terrifying power erupted. If two monsters like this joined hands, people in this world wouldn't be afraid at all.
BOOM!!! BOOM!!!! BOOM BOOM!!!!
Successive explosions, successive roars. The battle between Madara and Hashirama was like a storm, thunder, and lightning; the momentum was extremely alarming.
