Uchiha Gate: From Konoha to One Piece

— — — — — — — 

"The Revolutionary Army can handle this."

Dragon turned to Kaito and asked, "By now, there should be quite a few members in the Revolutionary Army who meet the contract requirements, right?"

This was the result of his dedicated efforts over the past month.

"Yes!"

Kaito nodded firmly. "Dozens of Revolutionary Army members in this area have all met the contract standards."

"You've done well—better than I expected."

"I'll contract them later."

"However, as for the New World, I won't trouble the Revolutionary Army with that."

"First, your speed is too slow."

"Second, you need these people more on your side right now."

"Third, I personally want to make a trip to the New World to explore the terrain and look for suitable Devil Fruits to hunt down later. So, I'll handle it myself."

"What's most important for you right now is continuing to recruit like-minded people, expanding your influence, and strengthening your forces. Once you're fully prepared, you can raise the banner of the Revolutionary Army."

The main reason Kaito didn't want to rely on the Revolutionary Army was their lack of speed—he simply couldn't afford to wait.

Speaking of which, Vegapunk's favorability toward him had surprisingly shot up to 83 points.

Even Kaito found this unexpected.

It could only be explained by Dragon's remarkable ability to influence and persuade people.

Plus, Vegapunk was an emotional person with big ideals, making him more susceptible to the revolutionary ideology Kaito had handed over to Dragon.

As a result, his favorability toward Kaito had skyrocketed.

This was also one of the reasons Kaito was eager to meet Vegapunk—once the contract was in place, he could ensure Vegapunk's absolute safety and make better use of his talents.

"That so? Alright then."

Dragon pondered for a moment before nodding in agreement. "I already gave you the coordinates earlier. Do you need the contact method now?"

"No need."

Kaito shook his head. "Once I arrive at Egghead Island, I'll contact you if necessary."

After contracting Vegapunk, regular communication methods would become obsolete.

Because by then, nothing would be more efficient and secure than the Communication Space.

Dragon nodded in understanding.

"Alright, I'll contract the Revolutionary Army members here first."

Kaito didn't waste time and had Dragon gather the members. He quickly completed the contracts with them.

As they processed the information from the contract, Kaito turned to Dragon.

"I'll leave the explanations to you. I'm heading out now."

"Got it."

With Dragon's nod of approval, Kaito immediately teleported away.

In the next moment, he appeared high above the vast ocean.

"Hmm? Lord Kaito, what brings you here?"

A voice rang out in his mind—it was the Ninja Dragon, sensing his presence.

"I need to head to Egghead Island in the New World. Here are the coordinates. Take me there as fast as possible."

Kaito transmitted the coordinates and the reason for his trip directly to the Ninja dragon through mental communication.

"I see! In that case, we'll first teleport to the North Blue, as close to the Calm Belt as possible. Then, we'll fly across it directly into the New World—that's the shortest route."

The NInja dragon responded at once.

"Good. Let's teleport now."

With a nod, Kaito agreed.

The next moment, the ninja dragon teleported them to a location near the Calm Belt.

Then, it spread its wings and soared at full speed across the Calm Belt.

In just over an hour, they had entered the New World.

Following Kaito's coordinates, they continued flying toward Egghead Island.

Three hours later, the Ninja dragon carried Kaito high above Egghead Island, soaring at an altitude of 10,000 meters.

From this height, Kaito activated his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan and gazed down at the island below.

With his enhanced vision, even from this distance, he could clearly see everything happening on Egghead Island.

At the same time, his immense mental power spread out, covering the entire island inside and out.

It was worth noting that, thanks to his continuous practice of the Sharingan Meditation Technique, his mental power had been steadily growing.

Ever since unlocking the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, his perception had skyrocketed.

Currently, his mental perception extended across a terrifying 15-kilometer radius.

And it was still expanding by over a meter every day.

There was no telling how vast his mental perception could grow in the future—it had no limits.

"Found him!"

With his incredible mental perception, Kaito quickly locked onto Vegapunk's real body.

But instead of contacting him immediately, he first called Monkey D. Dragon over.

"Huh? We're in high altitude?" The moment Dragon arrived, he immediately noticed something was off.

Looking down at the ancient Ninja dragon beneath him and the clouds around him, he was visibly surprised.

"That's right."

Kaito nodded. "We're directly above Egghead Island, and I've already locked onto Vegapunk's location."

"Now, I need you to contact him and have him find a secluded place where he can be alone—that way, we can meet him without interference."

"Can you do that?"

Technically, Kaito could have just teleported Vegapunk over directly.

With his teleportation abilities, that would've been a piece of cake.

But he was worried that the World Government might have placed tracking or surveillance measures on Vegapunk. That's why he chose not to take any risks.

He trusted that once Vegapunk received Dragon's message, he would take the necessary precautions to remove any monitoring devices.

"No problem! Give me a moment."

Dragon nodded and took out a special communication device, quickly operating it.

Through his mental perception, Kaito noticed that Vegapunk froze for a moment upon receiving the message. However, he swiftly adjusted his demeanor and continued his research as if nothing had happened.

About ten minutes later, Vegapunk finished making arrangements with his assistants.

Then, he entered a secure room within the base.

After a few more operations, Dragon's communicator lit up with a message—Vegapunk was ready for their arrival.

"Ninja Dragon, wait here for us," Kaito instructed.

"Let's go!"

The next moment, Kaito grabbed Monkey D. Dragon, and with a flash, they teleported directly into Vegapunk's room.

"Oh? This kind of teleportation ability… it's far superior to mine!"

The moment they appeared, Vegapunk couldn't hide his amazement.

"You must be Mentor Kaito! I'm Vegapunk. I've read all of your Book theories! I have to say, they are absolutely eye-opening!"

"Compared to you, our previous thoughts were too shallow and fragmented!"

"Only your ideology can guide us in overthrowing the World Government's rule and lead the people of the world toward true peace and prosperity!"

The instant Vegapunk saw Kaito, his excitement was apparent.

First, he was in awe of Kaito's teleportation, but soon, his expression turned into sheer admiration as he praised Kaito's theories like a fanatic.

Kaito raised an eyebrow and shot a strange look at Dragon.

His gaze clearly said: What the hell did you say to him?!

Vegapunk looked like a full-on zealot!

The only reason his favorability wasn't already maxed out at 90+ points was probably because, as a top-tier scientist and the wielder of the Brain-Brain Fruit, he was still rational enough to maintain some self-control.

Dragon, noticing Kaito's look, simply smiled faintly, keeping his secrets to himself.

Sure, his introduction played a role, but Vegapunk's enthusiasm mainly came from his own comprehension of Kaito's theories.

After all, since their communication had been limited, Dragon had only given him a brief introduction and handed over the Book.

Kaito didn't dwell on it.

With a wave of his hand, he set up a barrier around the room to prevent any surveillance.

He then scanned the entire room with his mental energy, ensuring there were no hidden bugs or tracking devices.

Only after confirming everything was secure did he smile and say, "You flatter me. I'm not as great as you make me out to be."

"But I will do everything in my power to overthrow the World Government and help build a new order."

"I want to create a world where people can live happy and peaceful lives…"

"A world where everyone can pursue their own ambitions without oppression."

Vegapunk's eyes lit up. "That's already an incredible vision!"

"Oh, by the way, I assume you came to see me so urgently because you need something? If there's anything I can do, just say the word!"

"More or less," Kaito nodded.

"But that can wait. First things first—for your safety and to ensure we can communicate freely in the future, let's establish a contract."

With that, Kaito concentrated, and a mysterious contract rune emerged from his forehead, floating toward Vegapunk.

He then explained the contract's benefits and restrictions before gesturing toward Dragon.

"Dragon has already signed this contract with me."

"Oh?"

Vegapunk raised an eyebrow and glanced at Dragon. A flash of understanding crossed his eyes.

"No wonder I noticed a significant improvement in your mental and physical energy compared to our last meeting, Dragon. So it's because of this contract? You've gained quite the benefits!"

"In that case, I have no doubts. I trust you, Kaito! I'll accept this contract!"

Without hesitation, Vegapunk reached out and touched the contract rune.

In his mind, he chose to accept.

The next moment, the rune seeped into his soul, embedding itself within his consciousness.

At the same time, he suddenly sensed a stronger connection with his various clones.

Even his external brain extensions displayed the same contract rune, anchoring itself deep within his soul.

It bound him completely, ensuring that he could never betray Kaito, no matter what.

Even his clones weren't exempt.

This revelation shocked Vegapunk.

But before he could process it fully, a flood of information surged into his mind.

He suddenly saw glimpses of the past and future of the pirate world, as well as fragments of history from the Ninja World.

His enhanced brain quickly absorbed and organized all the information.

Simultaneously, various powerful techniques, including Life Force, chakra refinement, and crystal meditation, flooded into his consciousness.

He rapidly began to comprehend and integrate these profound arts.

His eyes burned with newfound understanding.

This was the start of something truly world-changing.
