Naruto: Releasing Chakra Limits at the Start

Chapter 480 Heavenly King? Nothing special!

Mary Geoise, among the flowers of Pangu City.

Im resides here. As the true behind-the-scenes controller of the World Government, Im is incredibly powerful, far surpassing the Five Elders.

Even the lives of the Five Elders are in Im's hands, and their immortality comes from Im.

Having gained immortality allows the Five Elders to be on the same combat power level as the Admirals.

Without their immortality, the Five Elders might not even be as good as the vice-captains of the Four Emperors.

This is why the Five Elders were so terrified when they heard that Kizaru had actually lost to Yoru.

They knew best about Kizaru's strength and how much stronger he was than them.

Even Kizaru lost to Yoru, so they were even less likely to be a match for him. Fortunately, they were immortal, otherwise they would have no face to command Kizaru.

We arrived among the flowers.

In the garden amidst the flowers, Im, dressed in a robe, is admiring the blossoms.

Upon the appearance of the Five Elders, Im waved her hand, and all the butterflies that had been surrounding her flew away.

The five people came up behind Im, all of them lowering their heads, not daring to look at Im's true face.

After a long while, Im's voice came, and it was actually a dignified female voice.

What is it?

The arrogant demeanor of the five men in front of the Warring States period had vanished.

Before Im, they became extremely cautious. Im was the one who could truly decide their life and death. Their power was bestowed by Im, and it was only a matter of Im's whim to take it back.

Upon hearing Im's question, the Five Elders quickly replied, "Lord Im, a person resembling Joy Boy has appeared on the high seas."

Im, whose expression had been calm, suddenly froze.

His red eyes were very gloomy.

The Five Elders explained, "During this period, a pirate appeared on the high seas. This person has only been at sea for less than a year, yet he has already..."

The Five Elders told Im about many of the things Yoru had done on the sea during this time.

Im's expression turned cold after hearing this.

"He shouldn't be Joy Boy."

Im breathed a sigh of relief.

After hearing what the Five Elders said, Im became certain that Yoru was not Joy Boy.

Because Joy Boy and Yoru are completely different types of people.

Although the Nika Fruit keeps choosing Joy Boy, Joy Boy's personality is basically the same.

Yoru is not like Joy Boy; he's too normal, not at all like a comedic character.

However, Im was somewhat interested in Yoru, after all, it was truly incredible that someone who wasn't Joy Boy possessed strength surpassing that of a Marine Admiral at the age of 20.

To possess the strength of a Marine Admiral at the age of 20 is already quite outrageous, let alone the fact that Yoru's strength is even greater than that of a Marine Admiral.

After a long while, Im's voice came again, "Why not try to win him over?"

The Five Elders quickly explained, "We've tried to win him over, even inviting him to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, but he refused."

Im laughed in anger after saying that, "Such a person, and you only gave him a minor position as a Shichibukai?"

Im wondered if the Five Elders had gone mad from staying in Mary Geoise for centuries.

A powerful figure, stronger than a Marine Admiral, was being recruited using only the position of a Shichibukai (one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea).

The Five Elders didn't know why Im was so angry. Although Yoru was indeed a great threat to the World Government, he was at most on par with the Pirate King of yesteryear.

When Roger became the Pirate King, the World Government was a bit of a nuisance, but that was about it.

Why would Im pay so much attention to such a person?

It's worth noting that even when the Five Elders told Im about Pirate King Roger, Im didn't pay much attention.

Im was concerned that Roger knew the secret of the final island, a secret that could challenge the World Government's rule.

Roger didn't reveal this secret to the world afterward, so Im didn't pay much attention to it.

After all, the only person Im could fear was Joy Boy.

The Five Elders asked cautiously, "Lord Im, what should we do?"

Im turned to look at the Five Elders, and the five of them immediately lowered their heads when they saw Im's face.

It wasn't because Im was ugly, but because Im didn't want anyone to see her true face; even the Five Elders couldn't look her in the eye.

Im was a woman, and a very beautiful one at that; centuries of weathering had left no trace on her.

She still looks like she's in her early twenties.

The Five Elders are the same; Im granted them immortality, and their appearance is no different from it was hundreds of years ago.

Im looked at the five people and frowned slightly.

After a long silence, Im sighed, "Since you have all made your choices, then so be it."

"Report any information about this person to me promptly."

The Five Elders were shocked. Im rarely paid attention to anything other than matters concerning Joy Boy.

The Five Elders hesitated for a moment before asking, "Lord Im, since he is not Joy Boy, why are you still so concerned?"

Im looked at the five people for a long time, questioning whether she had made the wrong decision over the past few hundred years, allowing these fools to be the Five Elders for hundreds of years.

Even though they are their own puppets, most of the time they are the highest authority in the world government.

I never expected them to be so foolish.

Im remained silent for a long time before saying, "Since he is stronger than a Marine Admiral, he could be as powerful as Joy Boy back then. He is too young."

If Yoru were over 40, Im would naturally not pay attention to him.

The problem is, Yoru is only 20 years old.

This means that Yoru has the potential to possess strength at the level of Joy Boy.

This mere possibility was enough to put Im on high alert, demonstrating just how much influence Joy Boye had on him.

She was terrified of Joy Boyim. The pressure Joy Boyim had put on her back then was immense, and even after eight hundred years, she was still terrified of him.

The Five Elders did not understand Im's thoughts.

But they also knew that Yoru was being targeted by Im.

If Im, who has mastered the power of the Heavenly King, wanted to kill Yoru, it wouldn't be too difficult.

After all, she could destroy a kingdom in the blink of an eye.

Of course, this is the opinion of the Five Elders. In their eyes, Yoru's strength is very strong, but only slightly stronger than Kizaru.

No matter what, it's impossible for him to be stronger than Im, who controls the power of the Heavenly King.

The power to wipe a kingdom off the map in an instant is truly terrifying in the world of One Piece.

Of course, the kingdoms in the One Piece world aren't actually that big; they're just slightly larger islands at most.

But being able to wipe out a small island is quite powerful.

However, if Im knew Yoru's current strength, she would probably think that the power of the Heavenly King was nothing special.
