Across the entire world of the seas, the atmosphere was filled with excitement and anticipation. After the announcement of the 88th episode of Naruto Shippuden, people could not wait to watch it, especially the numerous Naruto fans scattered across all the islands.
Everyone was in a state of eager anticipation, waiting anxiously to see what the new episode would bring, especially since the previous episode had left them on the edge of their seats, eager to know what would happen next.
The world of Naruto, full of ninjas, tailed beasts, unusual phenomena, conflicts, and wars between the hidden ninja villages, was a world that many pirates, hunters, and ordinary people wished they could live in!
…
In Ohara, Monday morning was lively. Those who were working focused on their tasks, while others enjoyed reading their favorite manga. Some found endless comfort in reading the new novels that had started selling in large quantities at the Art Store. Life was running smoothly for the island's residents, who had surpassed the Buster Call calamity without it ever happening in reality.
Well, it happened in the manga world, but with Rob and his Art Store, the World Government couldn't do what they used to do in the past anymore, nor could they do what they were supposed to do in the future as shown in the manga.
…
Inside the great library in the Tree of Knowledge, Professor Clover was hearing the voice of the past once again through the countless poneglyphs he had obtained over the years of peace provided by Rob.
Since the death of his older brother at the hands of government agents and his own survival by choosing to be a coward and deny any real connection to his brother, he had felt deep regret. This regret drove him to intensely research the voice of the past.
"The voice of the world submerged in the depths of the sea..."
Professor Clover muttered under his breath.
As he was contemplating in silence, Zadie's lively voice interrupted his thoughts.
"Clover-san! A new episode of Naruto is about to start. Are you staying here? We're going to the Nature Pub to watch."
The Nature Pub Zadie mentioned was a famous spot with no building, just chairs on the green grass and open air facing the Art Store's screen, where residents enjoyed watching their favorite anime outdoors instead of going into the Art Store.
"Oh, is it a new episode of Naruto then? Let's go watch it. I hope it's as exciting as the last episode."
The previous episode ended with Shikamaru finally overcoming Hidan, but everyone knew Hidan was immortal, so viewers wanted to see how Shikamaru would deal with that.
…
In the heart of Ohara, crowds gathered in front of the massive screen that appeared above the high-end Art Store building. There was a diverse group of people, from children to adults, all glued to the screen, waiting for the episode to begin.
Rob stood on his balcony in the Art Palace, observing the crowd's enthusiastic reaction, "It seems people here can't get enough of anime," he said with a smile.
"Why don't you give them more anime then?" Olivia said, also smiling.
"Oh, isn't Demon Slayer, Attack On Titan, Naruto, and One Piece enough already?"
"After Akame Ga Kill ended, many want to replace it with a new anime."
"Is that so… Well, I'll see about that."
…
After a while, silence deepened over the island as the viewers' emotions swayed with Shikamaru, who found Asuma's lighter after burying Hidan alive.
The scene was full of emotions, especially after Shikamaru had just told Hidan he believed in the Will of Fire.
"I bet he'll start smoking," Olivia said, watching Rob light another cigarette at the scene.
"Well, he was his mentor after all. A teacher doesn't only teach good habits to his students; he can teach bad habits too." He smiled while blowing smoke from his cigarette.
…
Wano Country:
Thousands of miles away, in Wano Country, families of ninjas, samurais, and even ordinary people were engrossed in the events of episode 88, which revolved around the pursuit of two Akatsuki members, Hidan and Kakuzu.
Shikamaru's ability to bring down Hidan on his own thrilled viewers and elevated his status in the hearts of Wano's ninjas, making them consider him a top-tier ninja worth learning from.
"I've never seen a ninja as smart as Shikamaru! What a man!" Raizo was crying after seeing how the battle ended.
"Finally, we're done with Hidan! He was so annoying, damn it!" Denjiro commented with disgust.
"Now the next one must be Kakuzu, right?" Kin'emon said.
"You guys are being emotional… Who said Kakuzu doesn't have an emotional past just like any character there? Don't judge characters by their appearance and backgrounds alone," the former shogun, Kozuki Sukiyaki, spoke up.
Hearing this, Oden smiled and said, "Well, let's find out."
The Flower Capital was extremely quiet at this moment because everyone was focused on the episode's events.
As the minutes passed, the scenes shifted back to Naruto and his companions fighting Kakuzu, who was incredibly resilient in battle.
…
Elsewhere, the Moby Dick was sailing smoothly through the Calm Belt towards an unknown destination.
On the deck, the scene of Naruto creating the Wind Style: Rasen-Shuriken was reflected in Whitebeard's eyes once again.
"What a truly powerful technique… I'm looking forward to seeing its effects," said Whitebeard.
"Do you think it's strong, Oyaji?"
"Certainly, this technique could kill an Admiral if they didn't use Haki for protection."
"Look, here's the crucial moment… Watch carefully how this strike will affect Kakuzu."
The eyes of Whitebeard's sons widened as they watched Kakuzu being deceived.
•———•———•———•———•
Episode's Events:
—————————
"There!"
Kakuzu thought he had managed to get the real Naruto, but just seconds later, Naruto vanished in a puff of smoke, revealing it was a clone.
"What?! That was a clone?!"
Behind him, three Narutos appeared, one of them holding the dangerous Rasen-Shuriken technique.
(He mixed himself in with the fakes?!)
Kakuzu thought before being hit directly by the technique.
"Eat this!!"
A devastating explosion of sharp winds occurred in a radius of 100 meters, leaving Kakashi, Kabuto, Choji, and Ino completely stunned.
"The blast's coming!"
Kabuto warned.
Naruto fell a few meters from the explosion, which was ravaging Kakuzu's immortal body and destroying all his hearts.
(The number of attacks was unreal. Even with my Sharingan, I couldn't count them all.)
(What a technique!)
Kakashi was amazed as he looked at Naruto.
"Ho-"
"Incredible!"
Choji and Ino were both astonished.
(Naruto… You… You really have…) thought Kakashi.
"There… I did it!" Naruto smiled a victorious smile, giving a thumbs up.
•———•———•———•———•
With this, the episode ended, leaving the viewers in awe.
Whitebeard's crew was in shock.
"What an amazing technique!" exclaimed Marco.
"Gurarara! I told you."
"This technique can rival a simple quake punch in terms of power."
"What a good episode, it has lifted many negative feelings from my heart."
"Shikamaru avenged Asuma, and Naruto managed to take down that scoundrel Kakuzu… This is good. I'm looking forward to the next episode."
"And I'm looking forward to finding that treacherous kid."
The ship was heading straight towards finding Teach and those with him.

Whitebeard wasn't the only one searching for Teach; Roger was looking for him too. In fact, Teach had become the focus of the entire world.
But Teach wasn't the only one suffering from this attention.
Sakazuki was also struggling. He had just escaped a frantic chase by some hunters he encountered at sea. These hunters were a mix of A and B ranks led by the legendary hunter, World, who narrowly escaped due to urgent intervention from Rob, after enduring much under the three admirals. They recognized him immediately and rushed to chase him down. He managed to escape, but just barely under their siege.
…
Boom! "...What a disgrace!"
Angrily, Sakazuki slammed his hand against the wooden wall of his ship's cabin, causing it to crack.
He hadn't expected that a simple mission to track down the Blackbeard Pirates after the Impel Down incident would lead him to encounter a legendary hunter squad bolstered by dozens of skilled hunters at the level of vice-admirals and higher!
To top it off, the legendary hunter was the same one who failed to kill him a few months ago and held a blood feud with him! He had indeed escaped by a miracle.
"What a humiliation! The only way to wipe this disgrace is to destroy that hunter!" Sakazuki was extremely angry, embarrassed by his need to flee with his tail between his legs.
Who would have thought that the terrifying Marine Admiral, who burned half of Whitebeard's face and struck fear into readers and the entire world in the manga, would flee from a mere legendary hunter, not even one of the top ranks in his guild?
If the one who had chased him was the number one in the guild, the King of Hunters, Rob, it might have been somewhat acceptable. But he fled from a mere subordinate… and a weak one at that.
When he remembered Rob, he glanced instinctively at his severed hand, now replaced by a mechanical arm. Hatred in his heart grew day by day… this arm was the price he paid after trying to kill World that day.
"Calm down, Sakazuki... you had no choice. The enemy was backed by many powerful hunters. You did the right thing by retreating; otherwise, the price you'd have paid would have been more than just an arm this time."
On the Den Den Mushi, Sengoku tried to soothe Sakazuki.
"Try to return as quickly as possible. I've received news that the Whitebeard Pirates, Roger Pirates, and the Revolutionary Army have taken you as their target."
Hearing this from the Fleet Admiral, Sakazuki's brow twitched… this time he didn't need to think much, he wished to reach the headquarters quickly.
"Why?" asked Sakazuki.
"Well, your existence is troubling for them. Clearly, they didn't like what your counterpart did in the manga. To prevent your counterpart from appearing in this world, they have to kill you…"
"That's why I'm sure they all want to kill you, just as much as they want to kill Blackbeard."
"Let them all come… what they don't know is that I am already as strong as my counterpart or even stronger."
Sakazuki clenched his fist, forming a burning magma fist that caused the Den Den Mushi in his hand to evaporate, cutting off the connection with Sengoku.
"So you all want to kill me? Why don't I come to you instead?"
"Admiral! We've received some interesting news."
Suddenly, Vice-Admiral Doberman, who was very loyal to Sakazuki, entered.
"What is it?" Sakazuki's fist returned to normal, and the ashes of the Den Den Mushi fell to the ground, the poor snail having turned to ash.
"We are a few miles away from Long Ring Long Land Island, where there's an art store. We've received news that a new episode of Attack On Titan is about to be broadcast... should we stop by to watch it?"
"Hmm?" Sakazuki felt his interest piqued upon hearing this. He was a fan of this anime, especially the main character who had changed dramatically after the historic third season.
"Go... I want to know what Eren will do…"
"If World chooses to continue the chase, I'll kill him this time."
"Long Ring Long Land, then? Perhaps it is destined for you to die in this very place where I failed to kill you last time."
Doberman shuddered upon seeing the murderous look in Akainu's eyes and nodded quietly before leaving.
Seeing Doberman leave, Sakazuki quietly looked forward to the new episode of AOT. He had always looked forward to seeing that boy's eyes, always appearing empty as if he had seen everything and anything, seen the bleak future, understood his purpose, and accepted the heavy justice he had to enforce, even though he didn't want to.
Sakazuki always saw his reflection in Eren.
…
Today's date was September 29, 1505, in the Sea Calendar, a very significant date because today marked the return of one of the greatest anime shows the people of the sea world had ever watched.
Attack On Titan in its fourth season!
The second part of the third season had ended three months ago with the Survey Corps successfully reaching the basement in Eren's house after reclaiming Wall Maria. They discovered the truth about the world outside the walls and the origin of the Titans, a shocking revelation for all AOT fans...
There was also the dramatic death of Commander Erwin Smith and Levi's choice to inject Armin instead of Erwin, saving him from death by giving him the power of the Colossal Titan by transforming him into a Titan and having him devour Bertolt.
The epic scenes at that finale caused massive excitement among fans, with discussions about the last episode continuing for many days!
Today in Ohara, where all forms of art are revered, the first episode of the fourth season was about to begin.
After the announcement of the trailer for the fourth season of the series, everyone was in a state of vigilance and anticipation.
Today, two days after the airing of a Naruto episode featuring a fierce battle between Team Naruto and the two Akatsuki members, and the recent conclusion of the somewhat dull Golden Lion Arc in One Piece anime, it was time for the first episode of Attack On Titan's fourth season to astonish everyone through the art store's screen.
…
"Do you really want to watch Eren? This anime is not suitable for children, dear..."
Rob had a gloomy expression as he saw Robin wiping her tears with a sad expression, and behind her was an army of children with similar teary expressions. They were all his children in one way or another.
"Even if it's a little bloody... and it scares me a bit when I see Titans eating humans, it doesn't mean I can't watch it, Dad!"
Little Robin made a small fist and bravely indicated to her father that she was not afraid and that the bloody scenes of AOT didn't affect her at all.
Yamato, Hancock, and the others did the same.
This left Rob speechless and staring into the void.
He had previously banned children from watching harsh anime like Akame Ga Kill and AOT because they simply weren't suitable for children. He also gave adults the right to choose if they didn't want to watch.
In this way, even though the giant screen was very prominent, they wouldn't be able to see or hear anything if they didn't want to and could sleep peacefully with the mere thought.
But who would have thought he'd be reprimanded by his children? Who had been sent by Ohara's children to speak on their behalf, and maybe children from all over the world…
At this moment, Rob was caught between a rock and a hard place. It was impossible to let children watch such a deep anime with mature themes and a tragic ending.
Maybe he would let them watch Attack On Titan: Junior High instead?
