One Piece: Hashirama Template

In the world of Naruto, the Wood Style Kekkei Genkai is a legendary Kekkei Genkai.

This is not only because this Kekkei Genkai is extremely rare; besides Hashirama Senju and a few individuals implanted with his cells, no one else in the entire vast Senju clan awakened the Wood Style Kekkei Genkai for decades.

At the same time, it is also because this Kekkei Genkai is ridiculously powerful!

In the hands of Hashirama Senju, Wood Style was an all-powerful jutsu that integrated offense, defense, support, sealing, terrain manipulation, and sensing. It was the Kekkei Genkai that pacified a war-torn era.

Before obtaining the Rinnegan, no matter how Madara Uchiha upgraded his Sharingan, or even captured the Nine-Tails to assist him, he was still completely dominated by Hashirama Senju.

So, why couldn't Madara Uchiha win?

Simple. Because Wood Style has a passive ability that is an extremely effective counter!

This passive ability is that Wood Style can absorb chakra!

As long as one is entangled by Wood Style, their chakra will be drained.

For the weak, being caught by Wood Style basically means defeat.

Even the strong will have their chakra continuously drained by Wood Style. Not only will their stamina decrease, but the absorbed chakra will also enhance the power of the Wood Style.

The opponent gets weaker as they fight, while their enemy gets stronger. How could they possibly be a match?

In the world of One Piece, Link had initially thought the absorption ability of Wood Style would be ineffective.

Now, it seemed he was wrong.

Soon, Link also understood the reason.

Chakra in the Naruto world is a product of fusing spiritual and physical energy.

Although it's a new form of energy, its essence is still spiritual and physical energy.

These two types of energy are present in all human beings.

Therefore, when Wood Style binds someone, it still absorbs these two types of energy, which is also known as stamina!

When their stamina is drained, they will likewise lose the ability to resist.

This meant that the Wood Style: Cutting Technique was no longer the most useful divine skill for clearing out minions; the Wood Style: Advent of a World of Trees had reclaimed the top spot.

Because the Advent of a World of Trees is an all-powerful ninjutsu.

All the descriptions of Wood Style's versatility apply to the Advent of a World of Trees.

Within the forest created by the Advent of a World of Trees, Link not only possessed a god-like perception but could also control all the trees, even using them to perform other Wood Style ninjutsu.

Even if the enemy could fly or burrow underground, Link could still control the roots beneath the earth or form wooden dragons from the trees to attack them.

With the ability to drain stamina, Link no longer had to worry about enemies breaking free after being bound. He could now choose whether to kill them or not.

At this thought, Link's mood instantly became incredibly cheerful.

He began to walk towards the town. With his god-like perception within the sea of trees, Link quickly arrived in front of a large tree.

With a slight flick of his finger, the large "rice dumpling" hanging from a branch immediately descended slowly to the ground, as if spun from a spider's silk.

With another slight gesture of his finger, the "rice dumpling" automatically unwrapped like a bandage, releasing the girl inside who had lost her ability to resist and had even fallen unconscious.

The girl had long blue hair tied in a high ponytail, delicate features, and fair skin, and was wearing a long-sleeved shirt and shorts.

This girl was the only descendant of the Celestial Dragons who did not move to the Holy Land, and also a member of the D. Clan, Nefertari D. Vivi.

"A princess from a superpower? She's dressed so plainly, with no royal aura at all. To be able to blend in with a group of bounty hunters, it seems her acting skills are top-notch."

"She's so beautiful, and she looks to be about the same age as me."

Carina and Nami sized up Vivi, who was similar to them in both age and beauty, and commented as such.

"Wake up..."

Link crouched down and patted Vivi's cheek, showing no hint of tenderness.

Soon, Link's slaps woke Vivi up.

Opening her hazy eyes, Vivi, who appeared extremely fatigued from having her stamina drained, spoke in a weak tone: ".........."

Looking at the dazed princess, Link immediately gave her a shot of adrenaline and grinned, "Congratulations on being captured, Princess Vivi!"

Having not heard her name in two years, Vivi was instantly startled awake. Looking at Link's 'ferocious' smile, she said with a terrified expression, "...A high-ranking agent of Baroque Works?!"

Carina realized, "So those bounty hunters were from Baroque Works."

"Eh?"

Hearing this, Vivi was stunned. She then carefully examined Link, Carina, and Nami, and the terror on her face turned to confusion. "You're not high-ranking agents. Who are you?"

"A good reaction. As expected of the princess who dared to venture into the wolf's den."

Link looked at Vivi with appreciation and didn't hide the truth. "I'm not one of Crocodile's men. I'm just using you to attract his attention."

"You even know the identity of Mr. 0. Who on earth are you?" Vivi was even more surprised.

She had only recently found out that the boss behind Baroque Works was the national hero, Crocodile.

If she hadn't lacked evidence of Crocodile's crimes, she and Igaram would have left Whiskey Peak long ago.

"You don't need to worry about that. Just come with me."

With a flick of his finger, Link turned the tree bark on the ground into vines, binding Vivi.

Immediately, Link lifted Vivi with one hand and hoisted her onto his shoulder, heading back the way he came.

Carina and Nami followed closely behind, having no intention of looting the place.

Firstly, the town had been transformed into a sea of trees, and any treasure was likely hidden somewhere unknown.

Secondly, bounty hunters and thieves were both professions of the underworld. They knew that these hyenas, who needed to huddle together for warmth, were extremely poor.

If they weren't so poor they couldn't afford to eat, there wouldn't be bounty hunters who needed to moonlight as thieves and human traffickers.

Carried on Link's shoulder, Vivi, whose stamina had not yet recovered, couldn't resist, nor did she scream. She secretly looked around, her face filled with shock.

If she remembered correctly, before she lost consciousness, this was a dilapidated town.

But now, the town had become a sea of trees.

Recalling the scene of being bound by vines, Vivi was already certain that this sea of trees was the work of this person.

An ability user, a very powerful ability user!

Not only was he strong, but he also knew about Crocodile and had even captured her to attract Crocodile's attention.

At this thought, Vivi struggled even less.

If this person was an enemy of Crocodile, perhaps she wouldn't need to collect evidence of Crocodile using Dance Powder and usurping the country. He might be able to help her nation resolve its crisis.

Link didn't know Vivi's thoughts. Otherwise, he would have admired the princess even more.
