The two ships sailed together on the sea. After the banquet, the Straw Hats decided to temporarily travel with the Ninjas.

But it's more like Luffy decided to help Naruto.

At the banquet, Luffy learned from Naruto the reason why he went to sea.

Searching for his lost companions on the sea, just to find his precious bond.

This matter directly hit Luffy's heart, so he naturally wanted to help.

Naruto had no choice. They've been away from the Country of Wano for a long time.

It's impossible for a team led by four Jonins to wander around outside all the time.

Konoha also contacted them with their summon beast, hoping that they can return to Konoha as soon as possible.

Although it wasn't a mandatory order, everyone knew that they can't continue to delay.

If they can't find Sasuke at the next destination and bring him back, they can only return to the Country of Wano.

In other words, there's not much time left for Naruto.

It just so happens that Luffy and the others have nothing else to do.

Although Luffy wants to become the Pirate King as soon as possible, he also wants to enjoy the adventure life.

Therefore, he's not in a hurry to complete the main mission of boarding Raftel. He can start the side mission on the Ninja side.

Unlike the original manga, Luffy already knew from Jinping that to go to Raftel, the necessary condition to become the Pirate King is to find four red Poneglyph.

And Jinping brought the exact information. At present, the whereabouts of the Poneglyph is known to be in the hands of BIGMOM.

From Naruto, Luffy also learned that the Country of Wano also has a piece.

The other two pieces will be found by themselves in the following voyage, and this can't be rushed.

So the Straw Hats unanimously agreed to help Naruto achieve his wish.

And their goal is the Tulip Kingdom in the New World.

Previously, Kakashi received news from the Underground Black Market that the Akatsuki accepted the commission of the King's Army there to participate in the war against the rebels.

During the war, Shitian spent a lot of money to commission the Akatsuki to participate in the war.

Later, the financial crisis of The Whitebeard Pirates was largely caused by this.

Although the Akatsuki lost Biwa Juzo, they got a lot of money.

In fact, Shitian had always felt that Akatsuki's development strategy was very mysterious!

Whether it was in the original work or in this world, Akatsuki started off by accumulating funds.

But in the end, no one knew where the funds were used.

Shitian seriously suspected that Nagato had used the organization's funds to buy Explosive Charms for Konan.

If he did this, Kakuzu would cry!

And in this world, the goal of Akatsuki is to create an ideal country without ninja rules.

However, they found that this goal was not so easy to achieve.

First of all, they had yet to gather enough funds to build a country.

Don't look at the New World pirates with a bounty of more than 100 million, but with Bailey's purchasing power, it would take an astronomical figure to build the country that Changmen envisioned.

Moreover, the Akatsuki didn't have such a talent!

It was not easy to find a normal person in the Akatsuki organization, let alone someone who could manage a country.

The only one who had some talent in this area was probably Xiao Nan.

The distance between the ideal and the reality was so far apart, Akatsuki could only continue to work hard on the mission.

Anyway, as long as he had enough money, he would have time to think about other problems.

And this gave everyone a clue. After all, Sasuke left Konoha to find Itachi in the Akatsuki.

And the most recent information about the Akatsuki was the Tulip Kingdom.

Kakashi could get information in the underground black market, so could Sasuke.

So the possibility of Sasuke going there was high.

Having said that, they had encountered such situations before, and in the end, they were disappointed.

In the final analysis, Sasuke deliberately avoided Naruto after fighting for the Pure Gold.

After all, he was personally trained by Uchiha Madara, and it was not easy to find him.

After a few days of sailing, everyone had seen the port of the Tulip Kingdom.

At this time, the Tulip Kingdom was already in chaos.

As everyone knew, it was difficult for a country to exist in the New World.

Either become an ally of the World Government and have the protection of the Navy.

Or rely on a big pirate and hang their flag so that other pirates would not dare to approach.

The Tulip Kingdom was no exception and joined the World Government early.

By paying a large amount of protection money called "Heavenly Gold" every year in exchange for the protection of the Navy.

But the War of the Best changed the situation of the sea too much. After Sakazuki came to power, he took the initiative to attack the pirates.

Therefore, there was a lack of military strength in defense. The 50 countries eligible to participate in the World Conference were okay, but other countries were difficult to take care of.

The Tulip Kingdom was such an unlucky country. Because there was no Marine branch around, they suddenly lost their sense of security.

So the King of the Tulip Kingdom, Ronalo III, used his strange brain to straighten out a very reasonable logic.

The Tulip Kingdom was not focused on protection because its level in the World Government was not enough.

So as long as the status of the kingdom was improved, it would be fine.

As for how to do it … of course, it was to spend money. Heavenly Gold directly doubled, as long as the protection money was in place, the problem would be solved.
