Saitama and Tobirama nodded slightly, they both knew what Sengoku meant.
That was establishing diplomatic channels among the three worlds.
Currently the Three Realms had merged. Because seawater from the Pirate world overflowed everywhere, currently more than 70% of the Three Realms' territory was ocean. For strong fighters like them, this wasn't a problem because each had their own way to travel easily. But for ordinary people, trying to cross three different worlds was very difficult.
The unification of the Three Realms didn't allow them to just stay idle in their respective territories. Mutually establishing diplomatic relations and sharing resources was an inevitable trend for mutual progress and development.
This was also proposed by Vegapunk. Vegapunk's vision and intelligence indeed didn't need to be doubted, and Sengoku didn't object either. Through the World Council's decision, they decided to contact the leaders from the other two worlds to build communication channels with each other.
Items that were core secrets of course wouldn't be released, but resource exchange and logistics flow would provide extraordinary benefits to all three worlds. Regarding this point, Tobirama and Saitama expressed agreement.
The situation in the Naruto world currently was still quite complicated. Several major ninja villages hadn't united yet, internal conflicts still simmered, plus there was the mysterious Akatsuki organization lurking outside. The figure of Uchiha Madara was also hiding who knows where while eyeing opportunities. That was why Konoha Village hadn't moved to unify the other ninja villages; they feared Madara would become "the fisherman who reaps the benefits" when they quarreled.
If Konoha Village could be the first to establish relations with the other two worlds, it would be very advantageous for them.
As for the One Punch Man world, obtaining resource assistance from the other two worlds was certainly very beneficial. Their world was filled with rampaging monsters, making society live in suffering. With help from the other two worlds, their lives would be much better. After witnessing the miracles and power from those two worlds, several Hero Association officials increasingly firmed their intention to establish good communication.
"In that case, we'll also leave." Tobirama signaled to Jiraiya.
Jiraiya nodded, he formed hand seals and pressed them to the ground. Instantly appeared mysterious black symbols that crawled like spider webs. With an explosion sound Gamabunta's figure reappeared.
"Jiraiya, you're truly annoying, always disturbing my sound sleep!" Gamabunta complained with a displeased tone.
But when seeing Tobirama, his tone instantly changed to respectful: "Second Hokage, You're also here? If so, Jiraiya, I forgive you."
Jiraiya's face became sour.
'Damn, this frog truly doesn't give me face.'
Tobirama's group jumped onto Gamabunta's back and waved hands to the others.
Gamabunta who was biting his smoking pipe jumped high into the sky and shot away very quickly.
"We'll also take our leave!" Sengoku turned toward Aokiji. "Let's go back."
Their group walked toward the Marine warship docked at the harbor.
Saitama asked curiously: "Doesn't that person have the ability to penetrate space? Wouldn't going home that way be more practical?"
Bang and the others also felt puzzled. If there was such a practical method, why bother taking a ship?
Sengoku glanced at Saitama. If someone else asked, he might not answer because this was one of their party's secrets; leaking weaknesses to others wasn't a wise move. However, because the Gold List's Third Place was asking, he felt it was okay to explain.
"Blueno is a Paramecia Devil Fruit Doa Doa no Mi user. He can open teleportation doors on any object, including human bodies, to go to other places. However, that's limited to places Blueno has visited before. Besides that, there are limits on the number of people and volume that can be brought. With Blueno's current strength level, he's not yet capable of bringing us all home at once."
"So that's how it is," Saitama and the others nodded in understanding.
Not only was it a matter of number of people, Blueno also had never visited City J in the One Punch Man world before, so he couldn't directly open a door to come here. He came with Sengoku's warship. The reason he could appear suddenly on the battlefield earlier was because he was already near the location, and when the scramble for people occurred, he opened a door through Kizaru's body.
The Hero Association officials looked at Sengoku's group with envy. How nice it would be if people with miraculous abilities like that became Hero Association members.
When Sengoku's group had already boarded the warship and the sails began slowly swelling, the bespectacled man (Sitch) suddenly asked: "What do you think, would Devil Fruits from the Pirate world be useful if eaten by people in our world?"
Bang pondered for a moment then answered: "They should be useful. After all, the Three Realms have merged, everything among them is now interconnected. However, whether people from our world who eat them will also be cursed by the sea and can't swim, we don't know yet. We need to find a Devil Fruit to conduct experiments."
Sitch looked at Saitama while smiling: "Saitama-kun, you're very familiar with the Pirate world, regarding this matter..."
Saitama immediately shook his head: "Don't bother me with things like that again. You all can definitely solve it yourselves. I want to go home."
Sitch felt a bit awkward, but he didn't dare order Saitama who was Third Place. He nodded: "Saitama-kun has already worked hard all this time, indeed you should go home to rest. I can order someone else."
Seeing Sitch turn toward him, Genos also shook his head: "I also don't have time. I must follow Sensei to train hard!"
'You're a cyborg, train what! Your power completely depends on how advanced the parts you use are!' Sitch complained in his heart, but he didn't dare say it.
Fubuki said: "That person named Imu brought back by Saitama-san was once the World Government's highest ruler. Devil Fruits might be rare items for others, but for him they should be nothing, right?"
Sitch hesitated: "But he's now a prisoner, and hasn't the World Government been abolished?"
Fubuki smiled: "People in high positions like that are usually selfish. How could he not have his own secret savings? There must be a secret treasure place that even other World Government members don't know about. There's no harm in asking."
Sitch's eyes gleamed, he nodded repeatedly: "That's right too. Later I'll try asking him. But still Saitama-kun must step in; if someone else asks, Imu definitely won't pay any attention at all!"
Saitama sighed resignedly.
'Even trivial things like this you're looking for me?'
However, because this was just a matter of walking a few steps at the Hero Association headquarters and didn't need to go far, he didn't refuse.
"In that case, let's first tabulate, let's see how many Senzu Beans we successfully obtained this time..." Sitch said while waving his hand.
