Kapitel 5: Powerful Foe
At night, a bonfire was lit by the lake.
After Zabuza's mentality changed, he was not as cold as before. It is not known whether he was like this originally or was influenced by Shanks.
"Zabuza, as a killer, you should have a lot of information, right?"
There wasn't much that Shanks wanted to know, but with the speed at which his power was improving, it would be best to ask what time point it was.
"Well, I know a lot of information, but it may not be able to help you."
Zabuza spoke. Although he was one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen and knew a lot about the ninja world, when he thought about some of the information Shanks might need, Zabuza thought that he might not be able to help him.
"I don't need too much detailed information. I just want to ask a few people."
Shanks scratched his head. He just needed to roughly determine the time. After all, he didn't know much about the time in the pirate world. If he was told a time directly, Shanks might not know it.
"Human? Any characteristics?"
Zabuza hesitated for a moment. The person Shanks wanted to ask was probably not someone particularly famous, otherwise he wouldn't have come to ask him deliberately.
In addition, anyone who is cared about by Shanks must be strong and may be a powerful person without much fame.
This kind of people usually hide themselves. Their names and abilities can be hidden, but some characteristics cannot be hidden.
"Features? Shouldn't you just ask for the name?"
Shanks was stunned. Wouldn't it be better to just say the name? Was there any need to go through so much trouble?
Shanks thought about it and decided that since Kizaru had already become famous, Akainu and Aokiji should be about the same.
Seeing Shanks like this, Zabuza shook his head and quickly explained.
"Shanks, those people you want to ask are all pretty strong, right?"
"They are indeed not weak. They are all top-notch experts. Even if they are not at the top yet, they will become experts known to the world in the future."
"That's right, for us killers, what we need to know is not a person's name, but his characteristics.
Because the name can be hidden, the strength can be hidden, but the characteristics of a strong person are always unique. "
After hearing Zabuza's explanation, Shanks understood instantly.
If I just say my name, how would they be able to find it? Then I think about Kizaru and Aokiji, two "strong men" who are just slacking off, they may not even have any reputation at this time.
But the devil fruit is unique, so it is most convenient to find the corresponding person through the uniqueness of the devil fruit.
As expected, he is a professional killer, unlike a careless pirate like me.
"Features? One is a person who can turn his body into golden light. He looks very wretched and very fast. He is very powerful."
Zabuza was stunned when he heard what Shanks said, with a strange look on his face.
Can he turn his body into light? And very fast? Isn't this the Fourth Hokage of Konoha, Minato Namikaze? The powerful ninja who is known as the Golden Flash.
But the other party died ten years ago. It seems that Shanks has not had contact with the outside world for a long time.
And the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze doesn't look ugly at all. On the contrary, he is quite handsome.
Hmm…but it seems that he married a member of the Uzumaki clan, so it's normal for Shanks to call him a wretched man.
Besides, Minato Namikaze has indeed become a well-known top powerhouse in the ninja world. If he were still alive, his strength would be even stronger now.
"That man? He is indeed one of the top masters."
"Oh? Has Kizaru become a top warrior? What about Akainu and Aokiji?"
Zabuza was about to explain when Shanks continued to ask excitedly.
Kizaru? Is this the nickname Shanks gave to Minato Namikaze?
"Who are Akainu and Aokiji?"
"Hmm, it seems that these two have not yet reached the position of top powerhouses. What are their characteristics?"
Shanks thought about it and decided that since Kizaru had already become famous, Akainu and Aokiji should be about the same.
"Aokiji's ability is to use ice. This feature alone should be enough. If there is any more outstanding feature, it should be his kindness. At least in this world, his kindness and justice are his greatest characteristics."
"As for Akainu, he is the opposite of Aokiji. His ability is to use lava. He has a bad temper, but he also has his own justice."
After hearing Shanks' words, Zabuza instantly found the corresponding information.
Using the power of ice is the special bloodline limit of the Snow Clan. Although Zabuza has never encountered it, he still knows this information.
And the person who used the lava was someone Zabuza was very familiar with—Mei Terumi, from the Hidden Mist Village, and a close confidant of the Mizukage.
"That guy? Will he become a top-notch expert as well?"
Zabuza frowned, it turned out that Mei Terumi had been hiding her strength all this time.
"Who?"
Seeing Zabuza's expression, Shanks wondered, could it be that the guy in front of him knew one of the three admirals of the navy?
"I know the guy who used the lava. She even forced me into a desperate situation before. But now it seems that I was able to escape from her. Maybe she did it on purpose."
Zabuza tore off the bandage on his chest, revealing a large burn area.
This is the wound that Mei Terumi left on him. It looks serious, but in fact it is not life-threatening.
"You were able to survive from that guy. He never holds back unless there is something that restricts him and forces him to let you go."
"Huh? How can I not survive? Don't underestimate me, okay? Although the situation was complicated at the beginning, she must have let me go on purpose, but even if we fight officially, she can't stop me if I want to run."
"real?"
Shanks simply couldn't believe that you, a rookie killer, wanted to survive Akainu.
"Forget it, the situation was special at the time.
But she does have a hot temper, but does she really have justice deep in her heart?"
Now Zabuza just wants to confirm this point. If this is true, then Mei Terumi must be plotting something big, so she hides herself.
Perhaps, the other party is the one who overthrows the blood mist.
"There are some things I can't tell you too much."
