The battle began. Might Guy faced Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki alone. This was an incredibly difficult fight for Guy.
Especially against Itachi, Guy didn't dare make eye contact, fearing he'd fall victim to Genjutsu.
Itachi didn't use Genjutsu either. He didn't want to kill Guy—Itachi still firmly believed he was an undercover agent. Naturally, he wouldn't kill an elite Konoha ninja like Might Guy.

"Rowen... your ability..." Ace began, looking intently at Rowen. He had never encountered someone capable of wielding multiple Devil Fruit powers before.
What bothered Ace the most was that Rowen had used his Flare-Flare Fruit ability.
It was common knowledge: only one of each Devil Fruit existed at any given time—Only after the current user died would the fruit reappear somewhere else in the world.
Yet, Ace's own Flare-Flare power was still present within him.
But R...

Marine Headquarters! Fleet Admiral's Office!
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" Hearing Vice Admiral Gion's report through the Transponder Snail, Fleet Admiral Sengoku, the highest authority in the Navy, stared wide-eyed.
He had considered it a sure thing...
One of their strongest assets below the three Admirals, Admiral Candidate Pink Rabbit—defeated?!
What kind of sick joke was this?!
That was Gion!
She could stand against the top commanders of Emper...

Arthur, his words hanging in the air, turned and walked away.
Kuzan and Saul exchanged glances, the gravity of the situation sinking in.
They watched Arthur leave, then, escorting Catarina Devon and her crew, headed back to their warship. This was beyond their authority.
They had to report to Headquarters—If Arthur had an informant within the World Government, especially one in a position of power, the implications were disturbing.

Meanwhile, about a kilometer south, on the bustling ground floor of the shopping mall in the center of Itogami Island, two junior-high school girls, having finished their shopping spree, walked cheerfully toward the mall's exit, each holding several plastic bags.
It seemed they were done shopping and ready to head back.
But just at that moment, catchy, upbeat music suddenly played from nearby, drawing their attention.
Turning their heads, the girls saw a row of glass cabinet...

In the bedroom, accompanied by a suppressed groan quickly escalating into a full, high-pitched release, a certain blonde girl finally completed this morning’s "workout" session.
Like she had just finished running an exhilarating full-length marathon, Asagi Aiba collapsed back onto the bed, completely drained and exhausted, landing with a gentle bounce.
The moment he stopped supporting her, she immediately slumped fully onto the bed like a salted fish that had lost...

In the tavern across the street, Shin had watched the entire incident unfold.
“Itachi Uchiha is quite ruthless. No wonder he could kill his own clansmen, even his own father,” Tsunade commented, taking a small sip of sake.
“He actually did Sasuke a favor. If Itachi hadn’t intervened, Kisame would have killed him.” Shin said, shaking his head slightly.
If Kisame had intervened, he would have likely kill...

Just then, the sound of the room door opening echoed, and a figure slipped inside.
I turned my head and saw that the newcomer was Kuroka.
Remembering her previous requests, I immediately understood. Sneaking into my room alone late at night...
Without another word, I leaped up and embraced Kuroka.

The next morning.
A few sharp rays of sunlight slowly filtered through the gaps in the curtains, illuminating the bedroom.

“Alfia,” Mika called out.

“There’s a young man in the Hestia Familia I’m quite interested in. I’d like you to train him. What do you think?” A mischievous grin spread across his face.
Mika was always eager for a good show.

After their yakiniku feast, Shin and Tsunade strolled through Konoha’s streets.
“Are you still not full?” Shin looked at Tsunade, who was juggling various snacks in her hands. Her appetite wasn’t usually this large.

Facing the encroaching searing flames, Gion instantly drew her famed sword, Konpira, from its sheath.

His strength unexpectedly amplified, Rowen felt fantastic. He turned his gaze towards the Admiral Candidate, Gion.
Looking at her now, the earlier seriousness in Rowen's eyes vanished, replaced by a flickering crimson-black intensity.
Admiral Candidates, while a tier above standard Marine HQ Vice Admirals, were ultimately not in the same league as true Admirals.
An Admiral Candidate was just that—a candidate being groomed for potential future promotion. At the end of the d...

One could feel awe—respect for power, for the forces of nature, for those stronger than oneself—but Fear? Terror? Those were different beasts entirely.
"Pathetic," Arthur sneered, looking down at Catarina Devon, blood trickling from her lips, his disdain evident.

Awe was a feeling of reverence for something greater than oneself—authority, power, the majesty of nature. It was a fundame...

From around eight in the morning until the sun climbed high into the sky, by the time Asagi Aiba finally opened her eyes, it was already half-past nine.
Speaking of which, it was pretty incredible. As an ultimate shut-in who typically spent double-digit hours daily sitting in front of a computer, her physical condition, though not terrible, couldn't exactly be called good either. At most, she might be slightly better than the average office worker.
According to her assumptions, af...

From early dawn until the sun fully rose over Yasaka Shrine, Kunou finally opened her eyes in her solitary traditional room.
She pushed aside the futon covers, sat upright, and glanced around the room—empty, save for herself.
This was entirely normal; after all, as the future little shrine maiden of Yasaka Shrine, even without her mother explicitly telling her, Kunou maintained a strict self-discipline routine.
Such as diligently training in Yōkai arts with her mother, fa...

After Jiraiya became the Fifth Hokage, his first order of business was dealing with Sunagakure.
The Suna ninja who had collaborated with Orochimaru were still detained in Konoha, but they couldn't be held indefinitely.
Jiraiya summoned Baki, the elite Jonin from Sunagakure.
After some discussion, Baki claimed Sunagakure had been deceived by Orochimaru. He insisted Suna was also a victim; their Fourth Kazekage ha...

The villa door slowly opened. White Knight Blood, looking weary, with his brilliant golden hair and handsome boyish face, stepped into the villa hall.

Using a Devil Fruit’s power drained stamina—an immutable law of the One Piece world.
‘Which means—if this storage bracelet is ever lost or stolen, anyone can use it?’ Arthur frowned. That wasn’t ideal.
But there was no way around it. Inanimate objects could consume Devil Fruits and gain their powers, but there was no “binding” process, no way to restrict their use to a specific owner.
He scoffed at his own paranoia. Who could possibly steal something from him...

A day filled to the brim—first thing in the morning satisfying Kuroka, then spending the afternoon "pampering" Asagi in her luxurious Itogami Island apartment, and finally ending the day comforting Yasaka, who'd spent an entire day feeling lonely.
It truly was the very definition of “busy” in every possible way.
Luckily, this kind of "busyness" was nothing at all for someone of Bokue’s constitution. Even if the workload increased a hundredfold, he could handle it effortles...

Under the gentle glow of moonlight, Bokue felt a brief moment of surprise—but not enough to let it show on his face. Instead, he calmly walked over, quietly seating himself cross-legged beside the beautiful fox-tailed woman on the soft tatami mats.
Barely had he settled himself when Yasaka leaned forward eagerly, unable to hold back any longer. Her delicate nose brushed close, inhaling softly.
