One Piece: Hell Pirates

Chapter 452: Offspring and the Ambush of the Otsutsuki

Naruto World, Divine Tree Mountain, Palace of the Goddess of the Rabbit.

After the soul clone returned to the One Piece world, Brook, who remained in the Naruto world, received the signal the clone had left behind during its second entry into the ruins of Northern Underworld Hell.

From then on, Brook began attempting to develop and preserve different abilities inside his soul clones, backing them up bit by bit and sending them back to the One Piece world.

After that, Brook entered the ruins of Northern Underworld several times, waiting for the Otsutsuki clan to appear while secretly sending soul clones back to the One Piece world.

Time passed quickly.

At last, the day arrived for Princess Kaguya to give birth.

As expected, she gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl.

Brook named the elder brother Hourai and the younger sister Reimu.

In the end, Princess Kaguya did not object, so their names were settled.

From the moment they were born, the two little ones inherited Brook's power of the Four Gods. Their bloodline was even stronger than that of the Otsutsuki clan.

Brook brought his queens, including Kurenai and Konan, to Divine Tree Mountain to help take care of the children.

News of Princess Kaguya giving birth did not spread throughout the Kingdom. Kaguya felt there was no need for mortals to know, much less celebrate it.

In the end, even the full moon celebration for the two children was a simple family affair among the Brook household.

"Brook, don't think I don't know what you've been doing. You've been exploring the Underworld far too often lately. Can't you take better care of our children?"

Princess Kaguya held her son, Hourai, and looked resentfully at the man who kept venturing into the Underworld. Their daughter, Reimu, was being held by Kurenai, while Konan, Pakura, and the other women played with the little princess.

"Aren't you taking good care of them? Besides, I always put them to sleep myself."

Brook gently took Reimu from Kurenai's arms and spoke to Kaguya with rare earnestness.

He truly cared about the children. However, they were still too young and spent most of their time sleeping, which was why he explored the Underworld more frequently and often kept watch there.

Of course, there was also his research into soul clones, meant to strengthen his combat power in the One Piece world.

"Brook, if we slowly train Hourai and Reimu, our family alone will be enough to wipe out the Otsutsuki main family's squad. There's really no need for you to take risks."

Princess Kaguya was worried that Brook might suddenly encounter an elder of the Otsutsuki clan inside the ruins of Hell. If that happened, instead of ambushing the Otsutsuki clan, Brook might be hunted and killed instead.

"Don't worry. I'm afraid of dying too. I won't act rashly."

Brook comforted her, though he had his own plans.

Waiting thirty or forty years for the Otsutsuki squad to arrive was far too passive. That much time was enough for Brook to slaughter his way through the Otsutsuki clan.

Besides, if Brook really encountered an elder of the Otsutsuki clan in the ruins of Northern Underworld, he would not make a move. He would continue hiding and avoid provoking them.

But if he encountered an Otsutsuki whose strength was only comparable to Kaguya's, he would definitely strike.

Then he would devour them and seize the coordinates of the Otsutsuki main family.

Kaguya's Rinne Sharingan had only awakened after she arrived on this planet and ate the fruit of the Divine Tree. Her Yomotsu Hirasaka ability had also awakened afterward.

Because of that, her Yomotsu Hirasaka did not contain the coordinates of the Otsutsuki main family.

After Brook lulled Reimu to sleep again, he gave Kaguya and the other women a gentle look, then disappeared from Divine Tree Mountain and returned to the ruins of Northern Underworld to ambush the Otsutsuki clan.

During this time, Brook had also explored the borders of the Eastern and Southern Underworlds.

The Eastern Underworld God was even stronger than Jin, so Brook did not dare provoke him.

As for the Southern Underworld God, he had been sealed away. There would be chances to explore that world in the future.

After all, Brook had already devoured and fused with the Southern Underworld God's two legs. Once he entered that world, he would be considered a major existence there.

But for now, his focus had to be on becoming the strongest being in the Northern Underworld.

The unclaimed land of Northern Hell was Brook's primary target.

Brook continued lying low among the ruins of Hell, waiting for a destined Otsutsuki to appear.

He could not understand it. When he first entered this place, he had coincidentally encountered Otsutsuki Urashiki. Yet now, after waiting for several months, he had not seen Urashiki or anyone else use Yomotsu Hirasaka.

Did so few members of the Otsutsuki clan truly awaken Yomotsu Hirasaka?

Perhaps Brook's impatience finally reached the heavens.

A black portal suddenly appeared among the ruins of Northern Underworld.

A figure stepped into Northern Underworld Hell. After the black portal closed behind him, the figure immediately opened another dark portal leading to a different set of coordinates, clearly preparing to leave this ominous Underworld as quickly as possible.

Brook, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately sensed the strength of this Otsutsuki clan member.

He was roughly equal to Otsutsuki Isshiki at his peak.

That meant he was within Brook's hunting range.

[Soul King's Power: Time Stop!]

Brook attacked without saying a word. Wielding a black blade of the Grim Reaper, he charged forward in an instant.

Kenshiki Otsutsuki stood before the teleportation portal of Yomotsu Hirasaka. He was just about to step out of that dark and ominous transit space when a terrifying force suddenly locked him in place.

What was going on?

Kenshiki's right foot had already stepped into the teleportation portal. He could even see the territory of the Otsutsuki clan on the other side.

Why could he not move?

Thinking of the ominous space behind Yomotsu Hirasaka, panic began to rise in his heart.

Could there be another living being inside this dark space?

That thought made his heart pound wildly. He struggled with all his strength, trying to call for help from the powerful figures of his clan, but he could not move his body or even open his mouth.

The next moment, a powerful force dragged him backward into the abyss.

The dark portal vanished instantly.

Kenshiki was terrified.

However, no one on the other side noticed him. Those who saw him open Yomotsu Hirasaka merely wondered why he had not come out, then assumed he had already returned elsewhere.

The dark space behind Yomotsu Hirasaka was completely isolated from all perception. No one could sense what happened inside.

The members of the Otsutsuki clan were already used to this. Some of them even envied the clan members who had awakened Yomotsu Hirasaka.

Inside the ruins of Northern Underworld Hell.

Just as Kenshiki Otsutsuki regained the ability to move, he realized that a black blade had already pierced his heart and was continuously draining his chakra.

[Four Gods Seal!]

Brook slammed a palm onto Kenshiki's body.

In the blink of an eye, golden runes spread across him like a divine tattoo.

-----------

Brook suddenly pulled the black blade from Kenshiki Otsutsuki's heart, kicked him hard to the ground, and quickly drove four chakra-sealing black rods through his limbs, pinning him in place.

Only then did the terrified Kenshiki finally see his attacker clearly.

The moment he saw Brook's three tomoe Rinnegan, his eyes widened in shock.

"You're also from the Otsutsuki clan? No, who are you?! How dare you ambush a member of the Otsutsuki clan?!"

Kenshiki's face was filled with shock and rage. He glared at Brook and roared. Years of standing high above others had made this humiliation almost unbearable.

A noble member of the Otsutsuki clan had actually been attacked by an outsider.

"Was that place just now the main territory of your Otsutsuki clan?"

Brook slowly squatted down, snapped off one of Kenshiki's horns, tossed it into his mouth, and chewed with a devilish grin.

That act of eating an Otsutsuki horn completely terrified Kenshiki. His pupils trembled violently.

Someone actually dared to eat the Otsutsuki clan.

Kenshiki was just about to speak, but Brook's next words froze him in place.

"Forget it. Asking is too much trouble. I'll just eat you and find out everything myself."

Brook devoured the horn in a few large bites, then stretched his wicked claws toward the imprisoned Kenshiki.

"Wait! Wait! No! Don't kill me!"

"My father is a high-ranking elder of the Otsutsuki clan! If you kill me, you'll definitely suffer my father's furious revenge!"

Kenshiki screamed wildly and struggled with everything he had, but the sealing runes and four chakra-sealing rods on his body left him unable to move.

"How stupid. If I don't kill you, won't you come back for revenge once you escape?"

"Rather than facing revenge from both you and your father later, I might as well eat you now and deal with your old man slowly afterward!"

Brook grinned as the [Karma] on his body began to spread over Kenshiki, attempting to steal all of his memories.

The Otsutsuki clan had no ordinary souls. Their [Karma] acted as the main carrier of their genes and memories.

At the same time, the devouring aura of the Four Gods surged from Brook, swallowing the chakra within Kenshiki's flesh.

"Let me see those eyes. Let's find out what abilities you have."

Brook excitedly pulled the nine-tomoe golden Rinnegan from Kenshiki's forehead as if he were opening a treasure chest. It was clearly a valuable prize. As for Kenshiki's two normal eyes, they were both high-purity Byakugan.

"Don't kill me! I have two Divine Tree saplings, two Chakra Fruits, and four Chakra Pills! If you spare me, they're all yours!"

"I can return to the Otsutsuki main family and ask my father for ten more Chakra Pills for you!"

Under Brook's devouring power, Kenshiki began screaming in terror. He truly did not want to die. He still had a bright future ahead of him.

Who exactly was this monster?

How was he so familiar with [Karma]? And now, he was even trying to erase Kenshiki's [Karma] completely.

"Although I have great potential, I'm not really a greedy person."

Brook's eyes lit up.

"But the things you have on you are very tempting."

This time, he had really caught a tycoon.

Chakra Fruits, Chakra Pills, and even Divine Tree saplings.

As expected of an elder's son. This was a proper jackpot.

"Let me go, or even if I die, you'll never be able to enter my space!"

Kenshiki continued struggling and shouted, "My golden Rinnegan's alternate dimension was reinforced by my father. Ordinary Yomotsu Hirasaka can't invade it!"

"Oh?"

Brook smiled and directly fused Kenshiki's nine-tomoe golden Rinnegan into the nine-tomoe red Rinne Sharingan on his forehead.

"You can fuse it directly?!"

Kenshiki was completely horrified now.

This bastard's fusion ability was even stronger than that of the Otsutsuki clan.

"Go in peace, Kenshiki Otsutsuki, my treasure-delivering boy!"

Brook laughed wildly as his [Karma] began reading Kenshiki's memories. At the same time, he opened the alternate dimension that belonged to Kenshiki's golden Rinnegan.

Inside were Kenshiki's treasures, along with the spoils from his current mission.

"No! My father will avenge me!"

Kenshiki roared, but his body was completely swallowed by Brook's devouring energy, and Brook's [Karma] had already covered him entirely.

Brook also dug out Kenshiki's high-purity Byakugan, intending to give them to Princess Kaguya as a gift.

"The golden Rinnegan's techniques are called [Benzaiten] and [Kichijoten]? Are they really just two alternate dimensions?"

Brook frowned slightly.

Were they both alien dimensions without any offensive power?

But after learning their true uses, Brook was immediately overjoyed.

What kind of thoughts and desires did Kenshiki Otsutsuki have to awaken such unique abilities?

The wealth and treasures inside the two alternate dimensions left Brook speechless.

[Benzaiten]. Anything containing chakra placed inside this space could have its chakra automatically extracted for the owner, whether it was a corpse, a weapon, a plant, an animal, or even a mineral.

[Kichijoten]. A vibrant alternate dimension perfect for cultivating precious herbs and raising rare creatures. It was also a blessed land suitable for human habitation.

When Brook saw several chakra mines, countless clusters of chakra energy, precious medicinal herbs, and rare creatures scattered across the land, he was so excited that the corners of his mouth almost stretched to his ears.

Kenshiki Otsutsuki was the youngest son of a high-ranking elder of the Otsutsuki clan. He was less than two thousand years old and was hailed as one of the clan's top rising stars, enjoying great favor.

Unfortunately, his personality was arrogant and overbearing. This time, he had actually abandoned the attendants assigned to protect him and returned alone through Yomotsu Hirasaka with the harvested Chakra Fruits and chakra energy clusters.

After reading this information, Brook felt as if he had gotten himself into big trouble.

But he was not afraid.

In Kenshiki's memories, Brook also discovered a weakness of the Otsutsuki clan.

It turned out that Otsutsuki clan members who awakened Yomotsu Hirasaka were extremely afraid of the ruins of Hell. The aura of death and curses there made it impossible for them to stay for long.

Brook had thought only Kaguya feared it. He did not expect the entire Otsutsuki clan to fear it.

After seeing this information, Brook became even bolder.

From now on, the ruins of Hell would be his territory.

He was now like a crocodile lurking in a river, and the ruins of the Underworld were that dangerous river. The Otsutsuki clan members who had awakened Yomotsu Hirasaka were the animals trying to cross it.

The elders among them were like elephants and hippos. They would be difficult for a crocodile to hunt, but killing Brook in the water would also be extremely difficult for them.

As for the other members of the Otsutsuki clan, they were all Brook's prey.

Even elite Otsutsuki were only like lions or fierce beasts crossing the river. They could still be dragged down and devoured.

As for the weaker Otsutsuki, they were no different from horses, sheep, or cattle.

From this moment on, they could be hunted by Brook at any time.
