“Imperial Arm?” Hearing this, Inuzuka Kiba asked in surprise, “What’s that?” “About a thousand years ago, the founding emperor of the empire used unimaginable wealth and power to assemble the world’s finest craftsmen.
Using top-tier Danger Beasts as materials, along with vast quantities of rare metals and lost secret techniques, they forged forty-eight unreplicable weapons.
These were called Imperial Arms.
Each Imperial Arm possesses a unique and extraordinary ability.
Pochi is one of them.
And he’s one of the really strong ones.” Seeing that Inuzuka Kiba was still completely bewildered, Konohamaru waved his hand with an air of great importance.
“Ah, forget it.
You wouldn’t understand anyway.” “How am I supposed to understand if you don’t tell me?!” “I got him from the Ariya Manga Store.
Just read manga there and you’ll get a random reward from inside the story.
Go read it yourself if you want to know.” “There’s a manga shop that amazing?” Inuzuka Kiba was utterly shocked.
“I can get a ninja dog that powerful?
I’m going too!” “I already told you!
He’s not a ninja dog!
He’s an Imperial Arm!” Frustrated that his incredibly lucky Imperial Arm pull was being called a ninja dog over and over, Konohamaru angrily commanded Pochi, “Pochi!
Plant both of them in the ground for me!” “Woof!” The giant Pochi lumbered toward Inuzuka Kiba and Akamaru with a menacing expression.
Inuzuka Kiba set Akamaru on his head, formed a hand seal, and shouted, “Don’t underestimate us!
Beast Human Clone Jutsu!” POOF— A puff of white smoke erupted, and Akamaru transformed into a copy of Inuzuka Kiba.
The two Inuzuka Kibas simultaneously began to perform a ninjutsu.
“Fang Over… ack!” But before Inuzuka Kiba could finish his technique, Pochi had already snatched up both Inuzuka Kibas and shoved them headfirst into the dirt in one swift motion.
Pochi shrank back down to his original size and hopped back into Konohamaru’s arms.
He took a tactical step back and narrowed his eyes lazily.
So, newbie… do you understand who the king is now?
Konohamaru grinned at Inuzuka Kiba.
“You just think about that for a while—ninja dog or Imperial Arm.” With that, Konohamaru turned and walked away.
Inuzuka Kiba’s forehead bulged with veins.
He grumbled to Akamaru, “That kid is way too cocky!” “Woof!” “Still… a manga shop where you get rewards for reading?
Is that for real?” “Woof!” “Akamaru, is ‘woof’ all you can say?!” “Woof!” Inuzuka Kiba: (⊙_⊙) Alright, my mistake.
I’m the idiot for asking.
… Ariya Manga Store.
“Ah… I never expected it to end like this.” After finishing Dragon Ball, Hyuga Hiashi couldn’t help but let out a long sigh.
Xiao Feng had leaped off a cliff to his death, and Azi had followed him.
Murong Fu, the descendant of the Yan royal family who once shared the title “Northern Xiao Feng, Southern Murong” with Xiao Feng, had become a complete and utter lunatic.
Such a soul-stirring tale of the martial world had ended on an almost tragic note.
One could only sigh at the unpredictability of life and the impermanence of all things.
Having finished the manga, Hyuga Hiashi felt as though his heart had lived through a lifetime of vicissitudes.
At the same time, he was thoroughly impressed by the vast and profound array of martial arts within the story.
He had savored every moment of it.
At that moment, A message appeared on Shendai’s system panel.
[Customer Hyuga Hiashi has finished reading Dragon Ball and obtained—”Yin Yang Union Powder”!] [‘Yin Yang Union Powder’—An exotic poison of the martial world, one that makes virtuous maidens tremble and even the legs of great masters grow weak.
If the act of intercourse is not performed within two hours of ingestion, the victim will perish on the spot.
There is no reasoning with it.] Shendai fell silent as he read the message.
Forget Asuma and Ebisu… but who would have thought that you, Hyuga Hiashi, with your dignified bearing, would also draw this kind of reward.
Hum— At that moment, a dazzling light descended into Hyuga Hiashi’s hands.
Hyuga Hiashi was brimming with both excitement and anxiety.
As the head of the Hyuga clan, the foremost noble house of Konoha, he had not experienced such a turbulent state of mind in a very long time.
But this time, he simply couldn’t help it.
He desperately wanted to know what kind of peerless martial art he would obtain.
The Six Meridians Divine Sword?
Lightfoot Steps on the Waves?
The Star Shifting Art?
The Divine Art of the Northern Dark?
Even one of the seventy-two secret skills of Shaolin would be fine!
However, When the light faded, all that was revealed was a plain white porcelain bottle.
Affixed to it was a slip of red paper bearing the inscription: Yin Yang Union Powder.
“B-Boss…” Hyuga Hiashi, who moments before had been burning with anticipation, instantly felt a chill run through his entire body.
He looked at Shendai with a completely baffled expression.
Shendai nodded.
Receiving confirmation from Shendai, Hyuga Hiashi’s face instantly turned ashen.
No peerless martial art.
Instead, you give me this?!
Is my luck truly this abysmal?!
Noticing Hinata’s gaze starting to wander his way, Hyuga Hiashi immediately stowed the Yin Yang Union Powder away.
If word of this ever got out, he could kiss this old face of his goodbye.
A short while later, Hanabi also finished reading One Piece: East Blue Arc.
She looked up with a pouty little face and said, “Shendai-kun, how could it just stop right as they were climbing Reverse Mountain?!” The little girl’s heart was utterly crestfallen.
She had just watched Luffy and his crew narrowly escape from Smoker’s clutches and begin their ascent of Reverse Mountain.
She was on the edge of her seat, ready to finally see what the Grand Line looked like… and then suddenly, nothing.
Could you blame her for being frustrated?
The story had been building and building, and now the climax was right there, just out of reach.
Who could stand it?!
Shendai said, “The East Blue arc ends there.
For the rest, you’ll have to wait until new volumes are released.” “Please update it soon!
I’m gonna send you a razor blade!” Hanabi huffed angrily.
Then, suddenly, she turned to Shendai and asked, “Shendai-kun, who was that person in the black robe who saved Luffy in Loguetown?
He seemed so strong.
Why did he save Luffy?” “You want to know?” Shendai chuckled.
“Yes!” Hanabi nodded eagerly, but then immediately shook her head.
“No, wait, don’t tell me!
If you spoil it, it won’t be exciting anymore.” At that moment, Shendai’s system interface refreshed again.
[Customer Hyuga Hanabi has finished reading One Piece: East Blue Arc and obtained—”Garp’s Armament Haki”!] [‘Garp’s Armament Haki’—Haki is the latent potential ability possessed by all humans in the world of pirates.
It is divided into three types: Observation Haki, Armament Haki, and Conqueror’s Haki.
Armament Haki is an offensive and defensive ability.
Imbuing it into the body enhances both attack and defense capabilities.
Advanced Armament Haki can even be channeled into a target, destroying it from within.
This specific Armament Haki has been cultivated over decades by the Marine hero, Garp.
Even when wielded by an ordinary person, it can exhibit the terrifying power to rend mountains and split the earth.] “Hanabi got quite the reward.” Even Shendai was amazed by the system message.
Armament Haki could be considered a staple requirement for the strong in the pirate world.
Only those possessing sufficiently powerful Armament Haki could firmly secure a place among the world’s elite.
Garp was hailed as the Hero of the Marines.
Though the manga had yet to truly depict him in action, The descriptions alone were more than enough to prove that Garp was a figure who, relying solely on his physical prowess and Haki, stood on equal footing with the Four Emperors.
Forty years ago, Garp had teamed up with Gol D.
Roger to end the era of the New World’s overlord, Rocks D.
Xebec.
Afterward, he cornered Roger himself on numerous occasions and hunted down countless fearsome pirates throughout his career.
Just how powerful must the Armament Haki of such a man be?
It was undoubtedly among the very highest echelons of the pirate world.
What’s more, this Armament Haki would continue to strengthen as its wielder refined it.
This was unquestionably a top-tier, luxurious reward.
Who would have guessed that little Hanabi was actually the luckiest of them all.
