The ANBU had 70 members, all of them the absolute elite, carefully selected from the very best.

The ranks of its members, from highest to lowest, were: Captain, Vice-Captain, Squad Leader, Team Leader, and Regular Member.

The Captain assisted the Hokage in managing all ANBU affairs, while the Vice-Captain assisted the Captain with various tasks.

There were a total of four squads, each led by one Squad Leader. Each squad, including its leader, had 17 people, divided into four...

Chapter 03 - Inventory Check

Three days of eating soup and pretending to be weaker than he was had given Shikaki enough strength to walk without looking like a newborn deer. More importantly, it had given him time to memorize the guard rotations.

Morning shift change: 6 AM sharp.

Evening shift: 6 PM, give or take five minutes depending on who was running late.

Night shift: Midnight, unless someone was fucking someone else's wife, then it could be 12:30.

Right now...

In the end, Kuro left with his remaining crew members, though not without some complications along the way.

The Black Cat Pirates staged a mutiny.

After Kuro was defeated, some of the scattered pirates hadn't been captured by Luffy and the others.

During the aftermath, Jango had been playing dead, and working together with the remaining pirates, he successfully escaped the area. Naturally, they had no intention of taking their former captain with them.

Over the past th...

Marcus looked at their landing spot and had to admit, Luffy's aim had been precise.

He immediately sealed Kira inside a protective barrier of wooden blocks, better safe than sorry.

Then he drew his iron sword, turning to face both the former and current captains of the Black Cat Pirates, as well as the countless crew members who were ch...

Luffy and Zoro had actually arrived quite a while ago. After all, the sounds of Marcus' battle had been loud enough to hear from a great distance.

The reason they hadn't intervened was because they could see that he was clearly enjoying himself during the fight.

Zoro had also noticed that Marcus was using Kuro as a whetstone to sharpen his own combat skills, which was another reason he hadn't stepped forward to help.

"It's fine," Marcus said, waving his hand dismissively. "I...

OP: AMP Ch. 28

Marcus squinted at Kuro.

He showed no signs of panic. After all, his iron armor provided full-body protection, there was no such thing as a "weak point" when you were wearing Minecraft gear.

Kuro, on the other hand, looked grim but showed no fear toward Marcus. His speed was his greatest asset, and especially in the darkness of night, he was confident that catching him would be nearly impossible for anyone.

"Let me go? You think you can actually catch me?"

Marcus raise...

OP: AMP Ch. 27

After staying on high alert for a full ten minutes and finally putting together a simple wooden shelter, Marcus dismantled the protective barriers he'd built earlier.

But when he saw Nami, who had somehow come out alongside Kira, he was a little speechless.

"When did you start hanging out with Kira?"

He hadn't noticed her when he was placing blocks during the fight. Only now did he remember that she'd completely vanished during the chaos.

Nami shrugged. "Just the natur...

OP: AMP Ch. 26

"Did you know..." Kuro said with a smile, "cats are nocturnal animals?"

The moment those words left his lips, he vanished from where he'd been standing. But because of the darkness, only a faint afterimage remained where he'd been just a split second before.

Marcus squinted hard, trying to follow Kuro's movement. He could barely make out the pirate's form as it moved through the shadows.

It was like trying to track a shuttlecock during a night game of badminton, you could se...

Night quietly descended over Syrup Village.

Because of Marcus' words, Usopp had now rushed to the gates of Kaya's mansion.

The mansion at night was especially quiet, almost eerily so. But when he arrived at the gate, he hesitated.

The words Kaya had used to drive him away during the day still echoed in his mind, making it dif...

After Marcus finished explaining the limitations of his abilities, Luffy and Zoro began thinking seriously about their two small boats.

To be honest, even if he expanded them, they'd probably barely work for short-distance sailing. But as for actually making it to the Grand Line? That seemed doubtful at best.

The problem had circled rig...

Usopp was completely dejected, looking like he'd rather crawl into a hole and disappear forever.

That's when Luffy and the others found him and decided to bring him along to Marcus' ship, figuring some company might cheer him up.

When Luffy caught sight of Marcus' massive vessel, his jaw practically hit the deck. "Incredible! This is ama...

Staring at the experience bar that was just one-quarter short of hitting Level 10, Marcus was at a bit of a loss. So damn close! Part of him was tempted to head straight to the animal storage area and clear out all the livestock he'd been breeding just to push past that final threshold.

In the end, he resisted the urge. Finding replacement co...

Ebizō stood at the doorway of Chiyo's home. He lingered there for a long time, not raising his hand to knock.

He could not bear to see his sister's eyes. How could he possibly tell her the news about Karasu and Akasuna?

Yet, some things were not up to him to avoid. He drew a deep breath and raised his hand. Just as his hand was about ...

In the heart of the Land of Grass, Suna's position was set against several high cliffs and ruins. The Suna ninjas clung to the rocks like moss, blending seamlessly into the terrain.

Before them stood countless puppets, their presence making one's scalp tingle.

Hundreds of puppets of varying shapes and sizes stood on the scorched earth, ...

Haa... haa...

On a bench in the garden, Garrett took a deep breath, raised his head to the open sky, and felt an indescribable sense of refreshment.

The Gondorian royal family certainly knew how to enjoy themselves.

Roses, peonies, tulips, lavender... clusters of flowers filled the flowerbeds and lined the paths.

In the past, he had thought that red and purple together looked garish, like some sort of loud floral pattern. But now, seeing swathes of red, purple...

Cough, cough...

Half a month later.

At the border of Ithilien, a thin figure wove through the dense tall grass. He reached out to push aside the obstacles in front of him, but just as he was about to move forward, he suddenly froze.

The smell of blood...

No. Something wasn't right.

A faint rustling sound came from nearby. He quickly crouched down, hiding himself from sight.

"I'm sick of this maggot-infested bread!"

A coarse voice came from th...

---Viktor's POV---

Eternal Light... what's the deal with it?

It was clearly a more core divine authority of Light than either "Life Revival" or "Life Purification." It should appear in more significant places. Like other divine essences, or in artifacts, statues, and altars that are filled with immense faith power.

So how could it be inside the divine avatar within my body?

Then the realization hit me.

"Maybe from the very beginning, Aureal was never given a...

Ryouma looked up at the massive, blazing red chakra in the sky.

"ROAR!!!"

A thunderous roar tore through the air like a storm.

The colossal form of the Nine-Tails gradually solidified within the swirling blood-red chakra. Every strand of fur shimmered with an ominous crimson glow. The overwhelming aura of the strongest tailed beast surged across the entire coastline.

"You're not bad, but do you really think you can covet my power?!"

For the ...

The Sharingan truly was a very convenient cheat.

Itachi was both talented and hardworking. He had trained his Sharingan to a high level. But when it came to perception, the Sharingan and the Byakugan were ultimately two different tiers.

The Sharingan could see chakra, but it didn't possess the same physical-level insight as the Byakugan. At most, it could gauge chakra levels through color differences.

Itachi couldn't be certain whether this was Kakashi's real body, but since...

The sun gradually rose, and at last the second half of the night was over.

Kane couldn't help but leap onto high ground and look back toward the south, where the Haradrim army was stationed.

"What's that?"

He squinted his eyes into the distance. The army had halted its advance, and in the middle of their formation an open space had been cleared. Two figures stood within.

One of them looked very familiar, indeed, all too familiar. It was the Haradrim commander who had a...

LOTR: TMCP Ch. 204

In this world, only a rare few will raise their swords against what they do not understand. Even the elite warriors of Gondor, brave as they are, will bow their heads and flee at the cry of the Nazgûl; even the fearless Eldar will weep loudly when faced with an approaching Balrog.

It is not that soldiers lack courage, only that the weight their enemies bring is simply too immense.

Before them, the black-armored warrior wielding an elven longsword seemed to transform into a loomin...

"We once had peaceful lives!"

On the northern bank of the River Harnen, the Haradrim commander delivered his final rallying speech to the assembled troops.

He raised the curved scimitar in his hand and shouted to the soldiers, "Some of you were once farmers, some of you once traded freely, and all of you once knew peace, until the Gondorians came!"

"They destroyed our farms, ambushed our caravans, freed our servants, forced us to lose our livelihood, and drove us to take up ...

"He should be grateful he didn't draw his blade against his old comrades."

Kane rested his hand on the sword at his waist, shaking his head grimly.

Garrett spoke up from beside him, "I must remind you, he doesn't look like he's off to do anything good. That direction leads straight to the Haradrim stronghold."

"I know. I know it all."

Kane sighed deeply and said, "Not only do I know, I also know that stronghold is where the commander of the Harnen Valley forces is stat...

Alvida noticed that Marcus was staring straight at her with a somewhat dazed expression. Only then did she realize that she was naked, but she remained unbothered by it.

She didn't mind being admired for her charm and beauty. Besides, she was still wearing her bikini bottom anyway.

At that moment, Marcus also snapped out of his thoughts about the experience orb.

"Since you're ready to be a pirate now, well... how about doing some plundering?" Alvida asked curiously, after al...

Being asked such a question for the first time, Alvida hesitated for a moment, then frowned. "What do you mean exactly?"

"You could just give me a simple answer about what you think of this world. For example: 'The world is beautiful.'"

"Ha! Of course it's rotten to the core!"

OP: AMP Ch. 19

"What?! Are you insane? You want to go against the World Government?" Alvida looked at Marcus in disbelief, her eyes full of shock and confusion.

As a pirate, she was occasionally hunted by Marines, and every time it happened she was scared out of her mind, that alone was already stressful enough for her.

But if they went up against the World Government itself? She couldn't even imagine how dark and hopeless her world would become. By then, she wouldn't even be able to spend their...

Kira scratched her head, clearly overwhelmed by having to make such an important decision so suddenly.

She'd thought there would still be a long voyage ahead before she needed to make a decision, so she hadn't really given it much thought yet.

The girl fell into silence.

"There's no need to rush," Marcus said gently. "We'll be staying on this island for a while anyway. You could even wait until we reach Loguetown before deciding. But once we get there, if you want to come ru...

"I haven't had the fruit for very long," Alvida said with a shrug and a smile.

Marcus decided to offer some advice. "Think about this, if you reduce the friction on your entire body to almost nothing, maybe even zero, but keep the friction on your feet normal, wouldn't that make you move way faster?"

Alvida looked puzzled.

Clearly, she had no understanding of concepts like air resistance or the physics behind friction and motion.

Seeing her blank expression, Marcus mad...

Inside the Hokage's office, Tsunade lay sprawled over the desk, utterly exhausted, her face full of despair.

She was really worn out these days.

If she'd known that organizing a celebration would be more tiring than going to war, she never would've agreed to it in the first place.

And this was just the beginning.

Looking at the mountain of densely stacked documents on her desk, Tsunade felt a chill run down her spine.

What made her feel even worse was the heavy b...

The daimyō of the Land of Fire usually indulged in pleasures and extravagance, ordering people around with an air of superiority.

But that didn't mean he lacked emotional intelligence or brains.

It was just that his exalted status meant he usually didn't need emotional intelligence, nor did he bother to use his brain.

In fact, the daimyō had long been dissatisfied with Hiruzen.

Especially in recent years, Hiruzen had been asking him for money more and more frequently...
