One Piece: Lightning Heir#260: The Twilight of Legends

Impel Down, Level Six—The Eternal Hell.

Years ago, Arthur had released all of its most vicious criminals, killing any who refused to follow him. As a result, this level of the great prison was now sparsely populated.

In the time since, only a mere handful of new prisoners had been deemed worthy of its depths.

And now, with the Golden Lion Shiki’s escape, the place felt even more desolate. One or two half-dead pirates moaned weakly in the distance, their ...

While Bokue Keikain was still hard at work on Itogami Island—

In the Demon Realm's Northern Territory, within the Current Demon Lord faction's royal castle.

"Leo-chan, it's about time for lunch~"

As a beautiful blonde girl's voice echoed through the palace hall, the young Demon King who'd been buried in paperwork finally lifted his head from the throne.

"Phew~ Lunch again already, Sis?"

Leohart looked at the mountain of documents piled on his desk, then tilted ...

Sign-In System#292: Ellen Mira Mathers

“What!?”

Caught completely off guard, Natsumi could only stand frozen, her eyes wide with shock.

‘Why hasn’t her power been reduced? I’ve never seen this happen before!’

Her mind raced, but her body couldn’t react in time. Ellen paid her no mind, swinging her sword down with the full force of her momentum.

But just as the blade was about to connect, a brilliant golden light flared to life around Natsumi, a power she didn’t know she possessed. The laser ...

Campione: Strongest# 418: The Gala

The Ryougi Family.

In the past, they were an ancient lineage known as one of Japan’s four great demon-slaying families.

Unlike the other three fallen clans, the Ryougi still held a prominent position within Japan’s elite—no longer through the martial prowess of demon-slaying, but through finance, economics, and connections to yakuza organizations.

And Ryougi Kaname was the eldest son of this great family.

Neat black hair, handsome features inheri...

“So, how does freedom feel?” Shin asked Hina, who was staring out at the endless sea.

Hina shot him a sideways glance but said nothing. She already knew the news had spread like wildfire across the seas: A new member had joined the Kuja Pirates.

She was branded, tied to this crew for good.

There was no going back. In the eyes of the Marines, she was now a disgrace. Returning was impossible.

When Bruce Banner got home with the groceries, Nick Fury was already gone.

Betty knelt on the living room carpet, her eyes vacant and staring at nothing.

Seeing her like this, Bruce quickly closed the door, rushed to her side, and gently helped her up onto the sofa.

“Betty...”

“...”

She seemed to snap back to reality at his touch. Her eyes focused on him, and without a word, she lunged forward, crashing her lips against his.

Bruce froze for a second...

Marvel: The Enlightened One#86+87: A New Home for a Sister and a New Home for Hawk! A Father’s Murder, an Irreconcilable Feud!

Is it hard to get a driver’s license in the United States?

Not at all.

Compared to the rigorous, multi-stage exams in other countries, getting a license in the US is ridiculously easy.

As long as you could shift gears, turn, and hit the brakes, you could get a license.

Of course, there was one catch. You had to bring your own car. The examiner would sit in the passenger seat, observing your habits and proficiency, and then decide if you passed.

And so, at the e...

"Clear your mind."

"Flow with it, like water."

"Don't force the shot—feel it."

"Be water."

On the deck, Jin stood behind Maya, guiding her aim. In her hands was a brand-new sniper rifle.

The Karabiner 98k.

During his travels through the North Blue, Jin hadn't just been training—he'd been developing the Munch-Munch Fruit, attempting to synthesize a firearm from scratch.

One Piece: Lightning Heir#259: The World in Motion

Time trickled by as Arthur convalesced.

One month later—

Arthur lay on the great bed in the Thunder God Palace, reading a newspaper. Tubes snaked from his body to a collection of medical instruments that beeped in a steady, rhythmic cadence, constantly recording the changes in his condition.

A full month of rest, and his injuries hadn't improved in the slightest. In fact, they showed signs of getting worse.

Cough, cough, cough...

Who would've thought the legendary, fearsome Witch of the Notaria would... embarrass herself in front of a man.

That splash of water didn't just freeze Natsuki—it stunned Aya Tokoyogi herself.

Even after Bokue closed the door behind him, both witches remained frozen in the break room.

Ugh...

Natsuki's mouth twitched internally.

She'd guessed Aya had been thoroughly worked over by this guy, but to react like this just from seeing him was way too extreme!

When Natsumi came to her senses, she found herself held tightly in my arms.

Seeing her dazed expression, I reached out and ruffled her hair, a wide grin on my face.

“Hehe. No matter how you look at it, Natsumi is still just as cute as ever.” I gently tried to smooth out her tangled locks. “Though, this hair is a bit of a mess. We should probably tidy it up.”

Feeling the gentle hand on her head, Natsumi instinctively flinched. She looked up, her wide, emerald-green ey...

Kazuhiko Asagami knelt on the tatami mat, his palms and forehead pressed firmly against the floor. Beads of sweat dripped from his entire body, he looked as if he’d just been fished out of the water.

A moment ago, he had confessed everything, holding nothing back. Of course, in his retelling, he’d done his best to downplay his own role in the affair.

‘I didn’t know I had it in me...’ Kazuhiko thought grimly. Now, all he could do was wait for his fate to be decided. This ...

Back at Marine Headquarters, Marineford, Sengoku’s brow was furrowed. He’d just received intel that one of the Seven Warlords, Crocodile, was dead.

When the report first came in, Sengoku was stunned. Sure, Crocodile’s bounty was less than 100 million, but a wanted poster isn’t the whole story.

His bounty had been frozen the moment he joined the Warlords. At his current strength, he was easily worth over 300 million.

That might put him in danger in the New World, but ...

His face carved away piece by piece.

The most terrifying images Judge could conjure flooded his mind, one after another—paralyzing him with sheer, abject terror.

A sound from the depths of hell—the chime of the serpent's tail—amplified his terror, twisting it into horrifying hallucinations.

"Save... save me..."

Judge's arrogant facade crumbled, revealing the sniveling, selfish coward beneath.

One Piece: Lightning Heir#258: Arrival!

Arthur’s condition was severe—like many aging legends of the sea—he now required a constant IV drip just to keep the grievous wound on his chest from worsening.

Without the medicine, the unchecked injury would fester and seep into his very bones. At that point, short of a miracle from a rare healing Devil Fruit, he would be beyond saving.

That was why he was so desperate to return to Raijin Island, to summon every doctor under his command and find a path to recovery.

While Bokue Keikain was thoroughly "charging" Astarte in the office, in the break room next door, Natsuki Minamiya—who should've passed out immediately after an all-nighter—found herself tossing and turning.

After all, she hadn't fallen asleep by her own will in ten whole years.

For the past decade, though her body had been sleeping in the Prison Barrier, it was less "sleeping" and more being trapped as an anchor pinning down endless dreams.

Meanwhile, her consciousness ...

This was the bustling downtown area of the city, and the streets were teeming with people. Of course, the most numerous were Japan’s specialty: high school girls.

Even though the winter chill lingered, the miniskirt culture seemed to have been deeply ingrained in the national identity.

The streets were filled with girls in school uniforms and warm pantyhose. Though the idea that there are ...

Crocodile arrived, bringing the agents of Baroque Works with him. Of course, he hadn't brought the entire organization—only his most elite senior agents.

The weaker ones would be completely useless, if a real fight broke out, they'd only get in the way.

"So, they're here."

Crocodile stared at Shin and the members of the Kuja Pirates from a distance. Steeling himself against the immense pressure rolling off them, he forced a slick, artificial smile and walked forward.
