Temporary laboratory.
Dragon hadn't expected that before Saint Michael's body even touched the test table, Daren would be the one lying on it first.
On the pristine, spotless table, the black-haired young man sat leaning slightly back, his bare upper body riddled with tubes and electrodes. The other ends of the wires were hooked up to several massive monitoring machines.
These bio-signal monitors were what Queen used to track a test subject’s vital signs and biochemical re...

One minute later.
The ceiling of the temporary lab had been blown wide open, leaving behind a gaping hole as smoke billowed through the air.
Kaidou stood there, kanabō resting on his shoulder, his silhouette crackling with fury. Over a dozen Beasts Pirates members were huddled in a corner, trembling, not daring to breathe.
Queen lay flat on his back, limbs sprawled, his face swollen with bruises and lumps.
"...Keep the virus research going."
Kaidou glanced at Qu...

The Oceanus, a chaotic sea, roared with surging waves. Countless Divine Spirits from the two great camps—Mount Othrys and Mount Olympus—rode chariots, stood upon clouds, or balanced on the jagged reefs.
In sheer numbers, the new gods far outmatched the old. Yet in strength, the ancient Divine Spirits gathered upon Mount Othrys radiated overwhelming waves of Ether.
Kronos, wielding the Scythe of Time, and Zeus, gripping the Thunderbolt, stood at the forefront of their respectiv...

“You kissed Medusa and the others during the day, didn’t you?”
“Of course not!”
Samael flatly denied it. Athena’s gaze darkened as she tilted her head up to scrutinize him, frowning with a soft snort.
“Stheno and the others already boasted about it. They even mocked me, saying you like them more than me...”
“Slander! Absolute slander! You are my most important—and right now, my only—child!”
The ancient serpent excused himself with a half-t...

For Stephen, these past few days had been downright bizarre.
Who dreams about being hunted down every single night? And in those dreams, he wasn’t always the good guy. Sometimes, he was the villain. Sometimes, he even died.
But the crucial question was—if his dream self had perished, why was his real mind and spirit still so profoundly affected? He couldn’t figure it out. So, he had no choice but to seek help from Lorien.
As luck would have it, Lorien knew exactly what...

Lorien had already clocked out of work. He took Wanda out for a stroll through the city streets. Shops and scenery lined both sides, but Wanda was focused only on him, her arm looped through his as she smiled brightly.
Compared to things like sending money, gifts, or voice messages online, Wanda clearly preferred real companionship. Just the simple joy of walking, eating, drinking, or even shopping for groceries and cooking together.
The two walked like this down th...

Marineford Residential District. As a Vice Admiral, Ortoren naturally had his own courtyard here.
Previously, though, his residence hadn’t been strictly by the book—it was Garp who had pulled strings to get it approved, right next to his own courtyard, making them neighbors. The issue was that this area was designated for Vice Admirals, while Ortoren had not yet been one.
But since it had been under renovation the whole time, Ortoren never stayed there. He’d gone off to the ...

When Ortoren and Gion returned to Marine Headquarters at Marineford, Admiral Sengoku and the others had already returned from Mary Geoise.
At that moment, inside Fleet Admiral Kong’s office, several high-ranking officers were chatting casually.
“Ortoren, you really managed to take care of business and pleasure all at once. This trip not only resolved the scholar issue, but you also captured Roger—and even got yourself married?” Fleet Admiral Kong leaned back in his chair, ...

No banishment?
Even after that brutal kick, Ikelos was still dazed.
But Loki ignored his reaction, turning her attention to Bell instead.
“I want to watch this guy’s execution later.”
“...”
Bell’s mouth twitched. He was pretty sure Loki lived just to cause trouble.
He had said it was fine to share truths in front of her—but that didn’t mean he could do the same in front of Hermes.
Sure enough, Hermes perked up immediately, leaning in w...

At that moment, atop the highest floor of a building in Orario, two gods stood in confrontation.
“Ikelos, do you understand what aiding Evilus will ultimately lead to?”
Hermes spoke in a low voice, the weight of his words making it clear this was no trivial matter.
But Ikelos looked utterly indifferent, lying on the ground with a carefree smile.

Among those fighting her, if anyone could pose a real threat to Sessyoin Kiara in her transformation into a Beast, it could only be him.

Or rather, she was normal—but only in a way that applied to Kiara Sessyoin alone.
“Especially you, Mr. Shiomi.” Sessyoin’s gaze shimmered with intent, her tone like a confession. “To use a god-given ring for an attack so close to self-destruction… If possible, I’d like to taste that pleasure too, just like Goetia.”
“Too bad the Ten Commandments are gone. If you want it so badly, go ask Yahweh yourself!” Shiomi replied, his f...

Over the next few days, Kazuyama Gekkō waited for news of Root’s deployment.

"Seastone..."
Hearing Daren's offhand consolation, Dragon couldn't help but show a bitter smile.
Seastone, essentially solidified sea water, has a stronger suppressive effect than the sea itself. Not only does it render Devil Fruit users unable to use their powers, it can temporarily turn them into ordinary people... In other words, it seals a Devil Fruit user's abilities.
But the degree of suppression varies from person to person. Depending on one’s physical constitution,...

After nearly three months of wandering the South Blue, Ortoren and Gion finally wrapped up the situation with Garp.
At the end of Sea Circle Calendar 1497, a major incident broke out in the South Blue.
Rear Admirals Benn Ortoren and Gion, together with Vice Admiral “Hero” Garp, raided Spandler Island, a lawless haven, and supposedly uncovered a secret meeting between the Pirate King Gol D. Roger and the leader of the Freedom Fighters.
A fierce battle followed. Much of Sp...

On the other end, Ortoren laughed. “I’m coming out now, just wait a second.”
Before long, Ortoren pushed aside the curtain, walking out with a grin he couldn’t contain. Behind him trailed Issho, his face so bitter it looked as though the world had ended.

Afternoon came.
Universities are much the same everywhere. If you have classes, it’s a full day. If not, you’re free the whole day.
By around three or four in the afternoon, Gwen and Mayday were done. The two lingered around campus for a while, waiting until most of their classmates had left. Then they rushed over to Cindy.
Before long, the three met up. Cindy told them,
“I checked. There are cameras—it’s troublesome.”

“If Danzō dies in Amegakure, won’t that sour relations between Konoha and Amegakure?”
“After all, he’s practically a Konoha elder. Wouldn’t openly killing him be inappropriate?”
Her concern was perfectly reasonable. Eliminating a veteran who had served three generations of Hokage wasn’t exactly a small matter.
