I, Hikaru Uchiha, join the chat group

Uchiha Hikaru and the others didn't know that a dragnet woven by the World Government against them had already begun to unfold.

of course……

It doesn't matter even if I know.

Anyway, they had already fought the admirals and the four emperors. Now, except for the unknown Lord Imu and the so-called ancient weapon "King of Heaven", which made Uchiha Hikaru look up to them, the rest posed no threat to her, Esdeath, or even Yamato. It was enough to roughly know the types of the opponent's abilities, and there was no need to make a special battle plan.

If Lord Yimu could force her to show her full strength...

Then Uchiha Hikaru might feel a little surprised.

After all, it had been a while since she had fought with all her might since the "World's No. 1 Martial Arts Tournament".

Having said that.

The "Dimension Pirates" are not all monsters of her and Esdeath's level.

For Brand, Eri, Tanjiro and others, as well as the Whitebeard Group next door, the Navy and the World Government are still a very strong opponent.

and so.

During this time, Bulma made several small inventions, such as the "Dimensional Battle Suit 2.0" made with reference to the imperial tools of the world of Akagi Slash and Uchiha Hikaru's "Strike Freedom 2.0".

After testing, the defensive strength of this thing has been able to withstand Yamato's "Thunder Bagua", but it can't resist Esdeath's freezing, or range-type impacts such as fire and earthquake. Fortunately, there are not too many strong people who can burst out this level of attack.

Then, Bulma, Kikyo, and Miss Tamayo developed several "cell activation potions" and "skin hardening potions".

In addition, she released a large number of nanorobots and high-precision drones to observe the movements of the world government... All these things provide Tanjiro and others with an additional guarantee of survival. As long as they do not actively seek death, they can at least ensure their own survival under normal circumstances.

As for another survival guarantee...

It comes from one person——

"Although I have heard about Miss Bulma's inventiveness in the group before, it is only now that I see it with my own eyes that I realize how amazing these things are. I am afraid that even if Miss Guang and I develop our world for another hundred years, it will be difficult to reach this level of technology."

Namikaze Minato admired for a while, then said in a serious tone: "Don't worry, Ms. Bulma. If the 'Top War' that appeared in that comic really breaks out, I will do my best to help you win."

"It's 'us'. Minato-san, you are now also a member of the 'Dimensional Chat Group'."

Bulma corrected with a grin.

In response to this, Minato Namikaze chose to accept.

Little Naruto beside him waved his fist excitedly at this time, shouting: "Oh! I want to be like Sister Hikaru and Sister Bulma in the future and become a Pirate King who roams the seas!"

"Hey, didn't you say before that you wanted to be Hokage?"

"It seems that being a Hokage is meaningless. I can only stay in the village every day and can't go anywhere..."

"...Ahem."

Listening to Naruto's innocent words, the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, couldn't hold it in anymore and coughed a few times, interrupting his son's words.

But to be honest, this statement is not wrong. Because becoming a Hokage means taking on the responsibility of a village, which is completely contrary to the positioning of a pirate or a traveler. For Naruto, who has seen a wider world and met friends from different worlds, the position of Hokage that he once dreamed of and the recognition of the villagers of Konoha are no longer very attractive.

At this time, Bulma asked curiously:

"By the way, Mr. Minato, when this busy period is over...what are you going to do? Are you going to return to Konoha and take over again?"

"... Let's talk about it later. I haven't thought about it yet."

At this moment, Minato Namikaze has not yet recovered from the state of being a "dead person".

Although he is worried about Konoha, where he grew up, he is also hesitant about whether to exert influence on Konoha as a former Hokage, and is still a little confused about his future.

If not, he would not have stayed in the pirate world after his resurrection.

……

In the blink of an eye, another week has passed.

At the beginning of the new week, the World Government finally announced to the world through radio and newspapers that it would behead Ace at the Navy Headquarters.

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Most pirates, as well as a small number of civilians, have heard of the name "Fire Fist Ace". However, not many people know that he is Roger's son. When they heard the World Government's decision, they were surprised and said many things. Many people rushed to the Grand Line from all over the world to witness the end of the son of the Pirate King.

The ones who reacted most strongly, of course, came from Whitebeard and Yamato.

[Ghost Princess @ Nameless: Miss Guang, something terrible has happened! Ace is really going to be executed this time! ]

[Wuming: Oh... I see. Did the World Government specify the exact date of the execution? ]

[Ghost Princess: It seems to be the beginning of next month, which is ten days later...]

[Wuming: I see. I'll be back in a few days. Nothing happened on Nine Snake Island, right?]

[Bulma: No. It's just that the Navy seems to be a little suspicious of Miss Hancock. They called her back to the Navy Headquarters a few days ago for investigation and questioning. But she has been in contact with us through the nanocommunicator, so it should be fine for now.]

【Wuming: That’s good.】

After chatting for a few more words, Uchiha Guang temporarily withdrew his attention and focused on the things in front of him.

That was the modified spaceship that the gods used when they first came to Earth.

According to Dr. Brief, the functions of the spacecraft have been basically restored, and it has been briefly tested in the wasteland near Xidu. In theory, it should be no problem to fly to the planet Namek, but the flight time may be longer, about one and a half months.

——It is a little slower than the original work. I guess it may be because the time node is still early. It is still nearly ten years away from the "Dragon Ball Z" period of the original plot, so the technological theory about interstellar travel is still in the deduction stage and has not been fully developed.

"After this Ace incident is resolved and I confirm the situation in Konoha with Minato Namikaze, we will set off on a date to go to Planet Namek."

Uchiha Hikaru took notice.

After staying in the Dragon Ball world for a few days.

Uchiha Hikaru finally returned to the pirate world three days before the outbreak of the "Enhanced Version of the Top War".
