*Chapter 113: Tobirama Senju's Heart is Dark*

The events in Frost Moon Village resulted in them gaining a swordsmanship teacher and an old blacksmith.

With Garp accompanying them this time, the Navy in the East Blue did not receive any calls or inquiries.

The warship set sail again, heading toward another island.

Since they planned to thoroughly explore the East Blue, Raijin wouldn't let anyone slip away.

Now, their warship was close to Syrup Village.

As for Usopp, Raijin didn't feel much affection for this crybaby who tended to shrink back.

But now that they were close to gathering the entire Straw Hat Pirates, they might as well take him along.

He already had someone related to the Red-Haired Pirates with him.

Adding the son of one of Shanks’ crew members wouldn’t hurt either.

If Shanks were to enter their Dressrosa and act all high and mighty with his Conqueror’s Haki, Raijin planned to directly use the head of his crew member’s son as intimidation.

Maybe his Conqueror’s Haki wasn’t as strong as Shanks’.

But he also had something in his hand that could intimidate Shanks.

"Hey, kid Raijin, what do you mean by this 'revival' you're talking about?"

"Can it really bring the dead back to life? That has to be a joke, right?"

When they returned to the warship, Garp began to ask around about what Raijin meant by "revival."

Revival was something that everyone in the ocean dreamt of.

Pirates might want to revive Roger to find the One Piece.

Or they might want to revive someone important to them. Many people had such thoughts.

Even Garp didn't know what to feel about this so-called revival Raijin mentioned.

After all, no one on the sea had ever claimed to have the power to revive someone.

If such an ability were to spread across the ocean, it would likely cause a huge uproar.

It could even be more enticing than the so-called One Piece!

The entire ocean might be turned upside down because of Raijin’s ability.

If Raijin could revive people like Rocks or Roger...

That would definitely shake up the entire sea and change its power dynamics.

So, this revival had too many possibilities.

If Raijin had any kind of scheme in mind...

Then the sea would definitely be in trouble, and Garp couldn’t afford to not be cautious.

"If you want to know about revival, why don’t you ask Tsunade?"

"Tsunade is already a Vice Admiral in your Navy, right? She should be quite familiar with it."

"After all... this is an ability developed by her granduncle. She should be the most knowledgeable about it."

Raijin said with a smile, looking at Garp.

These words left Garp stunned. This was developed by Tsunade's granduncle?

He knew who Tsunade's grandfather was, the one often mentioned—Hashirama Senju, the master of the Wood-Wood Fruit.

The man who was called the God of Shinobi with his mastery of the Wood-Wood Fruit, but Garp had never heard about her granduncle from Tsunade.

He didn’t expect her granduncle to have developed such a dangerous ability. This family was probably not as simple as they seemed.

The abilities of ninjas seemed quite versatile, didn’t they?

Garp suddenly had the thought of becoming one of those ninjas to try it out.

"Your situation over there seems quite complicated!"

"Can you tell me more about Tsunade's granduncle?"

Garp scratched his head and asked.

He only knew about Hashirama Senju but was completely clueless about the others.

The Navy had been searching for information lately, but they hadn't even found where Raijin and the others’ Shinobi World was located.

So they were completely in the dark about Raijin and their identities, and about the history of Konoha.

"Do you know what Tsunade's granduncle Tobirama Senju’s favorite saying was?"

Raijin chuckled, his gaze fixed on Garp.

Going to the Uchiha to ask about Tobirama Senju?

One could say that no one in Konoha knew more about Tobirama Senju than the Uchiha.

To the ordinary people of Konoha, Tobirama’s deeds might have been exaggerated, making him seem like a heroic Second Hokage.

But the Uchiha Clan was different. Tobirama Senju's catchphrases were targeted specifically at them.

And the Uchiha could be said to have an in-depth understanding of Tobirama Senju.

Especially about some of his dark deeds.

"What?"

Garp asked instinctively.

"The inherently evil Uchiha! That's the phrase her granduncle often used. That guy was an infamously insidious and cunning Senju."

"In our countries, every single person despised that guy to the core."

"Vice Admiral Garp, when a person is hated by so many people, can you imagine just how evil he must be?"

"This Tobirama Senju guy controlled other people’s souls, he didn’t even spare his own brother’s corpse."

"He used his own brother for human experimentation and even gathered his own clan members for these experiments."

"He could be considered the most evil person in Konoha; this person’s heart is pitch black!"

"Vice Admiral Garp, with your heart oriented towards light, it’s best not to learn about such a dark person!"

Every word from Raijin carried extreme malice towards Tobirama Senju, as if Tobirama were right in front of him and he wanted to tear him apart.

Almost every Uchiha could recall all of Tobirama’s deeds.

After all, Tobirama was an Uchiha-hater through and through.

And the Uchiha Clan's hatred for Tobirama Senju reached its peak.

After all, he left behind three disciples who tormented the Uchiha Clan to no end.

The policies he left behind also pushed the Uchiha Clan to the brink.

Even the jutsu he developed was a plague on the Uchiha Clan for half their lives.

If the Uchiha Clan didn’t hate Tobirama Senju, could they still call themselves Uchiha?

Seeing the hatred on Uchiha Raijin’s face...

This expression completely stunned Garp.

He didn’t expect that just mentioning a name would trigger such a killing intent in Uchiha Raijin.

This killing intent seemed related to the two families.

After all, these two families were arch-enemies.

But what could have happened to make even this guy Raijin hate him to the core?

Garp fell silent!

Throughout the journey, no one on the ship spoke.

The ship was unusually tense; no one knew what had happened.

The always carefree and cheerful Vice Admiral Garp didn’t even eat senbei during the journey.

He kept a serious expression, as if someone had stolen his snacks.

"Vice Admiral Garp, Instructor Zephyr, Lord Raijin, we’ve arrived at Syrup Village."

The warship slowly docked, and a navy soldier quickly approached the three to report.

They all felt a heavy atmosphere on the ship, almost suffocating.

"Alright, let's disembark! There are two people here that I've got my eye on."

"Vice Admiral Garp, aren't you coming ashore?"

As Raijin was about to get off the ship, he noticed Garp standing there, lost in thought.

"Oh, oh, oh, you all go ahead! I’m not going this time," Garp hesitated before responding.

Zephyr looked at Garp strangely!

Garp...thinking?

This was a once-in-a-century sight that left Zephyr utterly stunned.

He had rarely seen Garp make such a thoughtful expression during his time in the Navy.

Garp had always been a reckless guy, charging forward without much thought.

But today, Garp was actually showing signs of thinking.

This made Zephyr wonder if Garp had accidentally taken the wrong medicine.

"Did you see that? Garp is actually thinking!"

"I'm honestly afraid that if this guy keeps thinking, he might fry his brain, which he's never really used before."

As Zephyr disembarked, he walked beside Raijin, looking surprised as he spoke.

After all, back at the Navy Academy, Garp was always carefree, just eating and sleeping.

He never showed any sign of this kind of deep thought.

Could this guy be seriously ill?

"Instructor Zephyr, there's a son of the Red-Haired Pirates' sniper on this island!"

"He inherited his father's sniping talent, so he has great potential for the future."

Raijin didn't answer Zephyr's question directly.

It seemed that after visiting Dressrosa, Zephyr's personality had changed quite a bit.

He used to be as serious as could be, but now he had a tendency to make sarcastic remarks.

But this change was pretty good.

If he were too rigid, he wouldn't be able to fit in with them.

"Yasopp?"

Zephyr squinted, recognizing the name of the sniper from the Red-Haired Pirates.

Yasopp was quite renowned among the Red-Haired crew. As a former key Navy officer, how could he not know such intel?

However, the Navy wasn't really aware that Yasopp had a son.

But even if he was the son of a pirate, they wouldn't do anything too extreme to him.

Zephyr wasn't like Sengoku!

He wouldn't look at someone through a biased lens just because they were a pirate's child.

The East Blue really was full of surprises!

There was Garp’s grandson.

A swordsmith from Wano Country capable of forging great swords.

And now, the son of a famous pirate from the sea was here, too.

Who knows what other surprises await them here?
