(A.N. Firstly I meant to post this chapter before now, but accidentally deleted the entire thing after I finished it so I had to retype it. Secondly in the last chapter I used the word 'Smashing' instead of 'Crushing' for Alex's new martial arts style, and I just wanted to say I'll be using crushing since it sounds better in my opinion. There were different translations between the anime and manga, and I got confused since I've been rewatching and then rereading OPM.)
Within the space-time orb used by Alex and his wives, one could find a wide variety of environments in the form of the numerous islands and floating islands that populated the otherwise endless sea that surrounded the grand villa.
One island was where Alex's children did most of their training, which was also home to a few weaker monsters to help introduce them to combat. Another was where Ingvild resided, and often practiced her singing and dancing along with her peerage and other idols of Asora. Another had been turned into a sort of turtle sanctuary that was lovingly maintained by one of the Pandoran combat maids, Ticy.
Dotting the skies though were a significantly larger number of flying islands that were notably more varied in their purpose and design. One was a massive graveyard that was plunged into perpetual shadow, and who's only actual structure was a giant mausoleum in the center where the owner lovingly maintained the corpses she used in battle.
Another was a peaceful shrine, which was home to a number of tamed monsters and creatures with an affinity for lightning, cared for by a certain Priestess of Lightning herself. It held a somewhat similar design to another island that was home to hundreds of cats, as well as the cat-like race known as Exceed from Earthland, and members of the lion-like race known as Snackians from Universe Seven.
These and dozens, if not hundreds, more dotted the skies, all owned and maintained lovingly by the women who had been 'claimed' by a certain man. The same man who was currently on his own floating island, one that seemed relatively...plain on the outside by comparison.
Dense vegetation covered the island, broken only by the occasional trail that curved through the forests and mountains, and a single location where a perfectly maintained stone square sat.
"HA!"
"RA!"
"HIYAH!"
And on that square was the man who owned the island, who cried out as he moved his body in various ways, strictly following the diagrams shown on an open manual nearby.
The cover of said manual read, 'Advanced Movements for the Fist of Flowing Water Crushing Rock'.
As could be deduced from the title on the cover, it was one of the numerous manuals Alex had received from the sudden quest he and every user of the Chatroom had received. Within it were the most advanced movements and techniques used in the FFWCR martial style, a style of fighting said to contain the perfect blend of offense and defense.
The basic use of this style was to redirect nearly any kind of attack, before returning it back at the opponent with twice the power. It was a powerful style that allowed its creator, a hero and martial arts master known as Bang(SilverFang), to become the number three S-Class hero in their world, only falling behind the most powerful esper on the planet, Tatsumaki, and the number one hero who possessed powers and abilities that far exceeded all the others in the S-Class, Blast.
While Alex may not necessarily NEED the benefits the FFWCR style gave for defense, it was still a powerful weapon for when he faced opponents stronger than himself, such as Beerus. Even if Alex wasn't satisfied with the FFWCR style, his new Chatroom store had manuals for every conceivable fighting style, both armed and unarmed.
And no matter what fighting style Alex purchased in the future, he planned to spread copies of it throughout Asora, and Pangea once he was finished with it himself. Of course, the only people Alex would actually teach would be his children and the students he already had, as he had no time to dedicate to teaching hundreds of students different forms of Martial arts.
But as Alex moved his body in ways that he was unused to, developing a thin sheen of sweat as he did so, he had a broad smile on his face.
'I'd forgotten how fun it was to train seriously!' Alex exclaimed mentally, making Lauren chuckle from amusement at his enthusiasm.
Ever since he'd evolved himself into a LSSJ Alex had been unable to train, as his strength had increased to the point where he couldn't control it, and risked damaging those around him and his surroundings. So Alex had to place the seals on his body to restrict his strength while slowly allowing him to adapt to it, and stopped training altogether with the exception for when he sparred wth Elaine.
Now that he could buy all the manuals he wanted though, Alex could keep training without unnecessarily increasing his strength.
Of course, it wasn't only manuals that Alex could buy from his Chatroom shop. He was also able to purchase upgrades to the Chatroom, like creating different groups, giving people the option to send each other private messages instead of in the main chat, sending actual items to one another, and most desirable of all, giving him the ability to actually transport himself to other members of the Chatroom.
Naturally this last option was the most enticing to Alex, as well as the most expensive, since it would allow Alex to travel to the world's where Yang, Saya, Hestia, Robin, Cynthia, Ty Lee, and Tatsumaki were. This would give Alex a supreme advantage over the other remaining contestants, and he wouldn't have to potentially wait years to meet with the girls in person.
Amongst them, two in particular took the higher priority.
Hestia, who had been nicknamed Bestia, was all alone in her world since no one had joined her Familia in the years since she descended to the mortal world. She had friends, like smith goddess Hephaestus, but the fact that she was on the chat any time she wasn't sleeping or working in the potato shop showed just how alone she truly was.
While that wouldn't always be the case, Alex didn't know where in the timeline Hestia was, and so he decided that they couldn't rely on Bell showing up, if he was even still going to. But even then, there was still someone else who took priority over Hestia.
Saya was from a world known as Highschool of the Dead, a world that would be plagued by a zombie apocalypse in the near future. Unfortunately though, Alex didn't know exactly when the apocalypse would occur.
For all he knew it could happen the very next day, or a week later, or even a month, and Alex had no intention to wait around for it to start.
Neither did Saya in fact, as when he told her about it she began making preparations such as learning how to use firearms, drawing up fortifications for her family's estate, and using her parent's wealth and political connections to acquire as many firearms and weapons as possible to keep in her storage ring.
Meanwhile, even if she hadn't told them what was going on since it would make her sound crazy, Saya's parents had obviously noticed her preparations, and began looking into whatever their daughter might've been preparing for while making their own preparations. They didn't know what they were preparing for, but both trusted Saya's intelligence and decision making absolutely, even if she herself was unaware of it.
And when she wasn't making preparations, or attending school, Saya was completing every single quest she could in order to try and buy something new on the store before the apocalypse started. It was slow going since her quests were fairly small compared to everyone else's, since she lived in a 'normal' world, but Saya was using her intellect to grind out as many as she could in the shortest time possible.
Unless it kicked off before then though, Saya only needed to wait until the end of the tournament before Alex would ask Grant or Beth to open the portal to her world, as they had both saved theirs up.
In the here and now though, Alex finished the last of his sets of movements, breaking form as he conjured a chair to sit on as he took a small break.
"Let's see what's going on." He muttered to himself as he summoned the Chatroom, which he had put on silent so as to not be disturbed during his training.
[DING!]
Cynthia: and this is a Chansey
Ty Lee: it's so cute!
Bestia: i wanna cuddle it!
Yang: I still think the Luxray was cooler
Alex smiled wryly as he watched the stream of comments regarding Cynthia's newest catch, every one of which she posted a picture of to the Chatroom so everyone could learn more about Pokemon.
For some reason her quests focused more on her catching Pokemon than anything, such as certain numbers of a certain species. As champion she more than had the resources needed to take care of them of course, while she also said that she let the resident Pokemon professor examine them to his leisure as well, professor Rowen.
With how prominent the Pokemon professors were in her world, she had also sent them a picture of Rowen with his assistant, Dawn, who Alex was surprised to learn appeared in her late teens. It was about then that he learned the differences between the Pokemon games/anime and real life, namely that the idea of sending ten year olds out to fend for themselves as they captured and trained dangerous monsters was absolutely ridiculous.
Cynthia also informed Alex that the standard age for trainers to begin their journey was seventeen, while some would be fortunate to begin at sixteen in certain circumstances. She had however been confused when Alex asked her about a trainer called Ash Ketchum, with Cynthia stating that she didn't find a trainer with such a name in any of the region's directories, but she said she'd let him know if she stumbled across him.
[DING!]
Alex: I think a Chansey would be a perfect Pokemon for Bestia to have around, they're known to be very nurturing and caring. Plus I know she'd love to snuggle one as she slept.
Bestia: I WOULD!
Alex chuckled as he watched Bestia plead with Cynthia to promise to give her a Chansey if the chance ever came up, which the champion readily agreed to since she already figured that a lot of the Pokemon she was capturing now would go to Alex and his wives/children in the future.
Bestia wasn't the only one though, as many of the women cooed over the numerous pictures of Pokemon that Cynthia had sent them, and the majority were already deciding which ones they wanted to capture for themselves once they traveled to her world. Lucy especially was excited of a whole world dedicated to taming and befriending monsters, while Alex could already imagine women like Akeno with a whole legion of electric type Pokemon, Eri with the ghost types, and Asia being surrounded by the dragon types.
Cynthia wasn't the only one teaching them more about the creatures of their world though, as Yang had posted numerous videos of herself fighting Grimm alongside her sister, Ruby.
Yang had of course told Ruby about the Chatroom after the previous incident, which the innocent reaper had believed instantly as she begged to be invited to it as well. Naturally, Yang had refused without even seeing if that were possible due to the perverseness of the Chatroom members.
So Ruby settled on accompanying her sister as they completed Yang's quests together, in which the chat always received videos of Yang pounding Grimm into paste with her newly acquired Superhuman Strength, or even chucking large boulders at flying Nevermore.
They also received daily videos from Ty Lee, who proved Yang's point about the perversion in the Chatroom by posting videos of herself performing her daily stretches, which were actually yoga, in the nude. While those were definitely popular, so too were the videos she posted during the circus' shows, which depicted the numerous unique creatures from her world, as well as the skillful bending from her nation.
Of the new girls that he was interacting with, Alex was unsure of how to deal with Ty Lee the most since she was essentially an antagonist for almost the entirety of the series ATLA. Then again, that was only the case because of her fear of Azula, Ty Lee's childhood friend that was also the princess of the Fire Nation, who was legitimately insane.
Alex indirectly learned through her though that the Avatar, Aang, had yet to awaken after his century long slumber within a giant iceberg, so he had time to think of something.
Tatsumaki was proving to be the most entertaining of the girls Alex was interacting with, as she was completely unused to dealing with someone as shameless as Alex, who openly flirted with her constantly to make her lose her cool.
There had been quite the buzz when the girls found out about her being a hero though, as well as the world she belonged to being filled with them as an actual profession. They had been curious as to how this was going to play out with Alex's past regarding 'Heroes'(Kouki), as well as his open disdain for them.
He surprised them though when he said that he actually admired the heroes of Tatsumaki's world a bit, since the vast majority were actually just ordinary citizens who wanted to make a difference. With natural disasters and monsters constantly threatening the lives of the entire human race in her world, there was very little of the baseless tripe regarding things like 'justice', and more of the heroes actually fighting monsters and trying to help people during disasters. (A.N. Mumen Rider fans, where you at?)
Though Tatsumaki simply sneered that they were all weaklings who were always in her way.
And then finally there was the hardest person to get to open up, Nico Robin.
Robin had lived almost her entire life on the run as the World Government pursued her with a fury, while all of those she'd tried seeking shelter with wound up betraying her once the heat from the Marines came down onto them. Even when Alex swore he'd destroy anyone dumb enough to say a single thing against her, Robin didn't seem to believe him as she just politely said her thanks.
Her reservations did waver slightly when the girls told stories of their travels and Alex's achievements over the years, which also included him killing gods and toppling entire empires almost overnight. What really caught her attention though was when Alex told her he had the same Devil Fruit as her new captain, Monkey D. Luffy, which was actually a mythical Zoan type fruit of the sun god Nika.
Robin had then imagined Alex stretching and moving the way her captain did, even with his muscular and thick body, and chuckled in amusement from the image.
Overall the seven girls were getting along with Alex and the girls amongst his harem, especially once they all found those who were like them. Saya for example spent much of her time talking with Sona, Lala, the Bulmas, and Athena, while Robin and Cynthia would spend quite a while talking due to their shared love of history and myths.
Yang got along well with the girls who liked fighting, like Shia or the Saiyans, which Alex expected due to her being so similar to a Saiyan to begin with, while both Bestia and Ty Lee got along with the majority of the girls in general. The biggest outlier amongst them was Tatsumaki, which was understandable since she didn't care for interacting with those she considered weak. Alex was an exception, since he was someone capable of opening a Chatroom spanning the Omniverse, but he would often tease her...
Speaking of the chibi esper...
[DING!]
Tatsumaki: OMFG
Tatsumaki: I just read his mind, and KING IS A FRAUD!!!
"Pft-" Alex fought the urge to laugh at Tatsumaki's uncharacteristic exclamation, resulting in him choking on his spit momentarily as he tried to recover.
Asia: who is King again?
Tatsumaki: he's a S-Class hero, and the strongest man on earth!
Tatsumaki: ...
Tatsumaki: or, at least he's SUPPOSED to be!
Bulma: is he like Mr. Satan?
Alex: kinda, except Satan was purposely lying to boost his reputation and fame. King is just a severe victim of 'wrong place, wrong time'.
Alex: the guy's just stopped trying to explain himself because no one ever listens anyways. In fact, they keep making up stories about him for the most idiotic things so his legend keeps growing.
Yang: that's like a whole new level of stupidity...
Alex: and that's partially why Tatsumaki can't expose him. If she did then the hero association would have to answer for trying to make a regular civilian fight monsters, as well as wasting the money given to them through donations.
Tatsumaki: well there's that, plus if I did then I would also expose my new mind reading powers! And trust me, there's a LOT that these executives don't want me knowing...
Shia: why are there so many rich assholes in the world's we go to?
Alex: because wealth supposedly grants authority and prestige, so people with it believe they're better than everyone else and that rules don't apply to them.
Tatsumaki: they're about to learn that's not the case when I 'accidentally' find all their secret hangouts!
Alex: just be careful. It wouldn't be surprising if they tried to turn everyone against you if you pissed them off too much.
Tatsumaki: HUMPH! Who do you think I am!?!
Tatsumaki: there's nothing they can do to me, so I don't need your concern!
Alex: if you say so. Just be careful, love you!
Tatsumaki: !!!
...
Love you!
Love you!
Love you!
"I-I-IDIOOOOT!!!" A petite esper screamed at that moment as those two words echoed within her head, over and over again as if they were being played on repeat.
"But I told you everything I know!" Complained the man who was currently suspended upside down by her telekinetic ability, the head of the underground slave trade that she was currently dismantling.
Turning her attention back to him as the man spoke, her cheeks tinged red from embarrassment, Tatsumaki then said to the man's horror,
"That's all? You can die then." Then, with perhaps more force than she ever used before, Tatsumaki clenched her fist as the subtle green glow surrounding the man intensified.
Without even being able to scream, the man's body was suddenly crushed almost instantly, until he became nothing more than a bloody sphere of condensed flesh and bone that was only the size of a small ball.
Letting the fleshy ball thud to the ground with a wet squelch, Tatsumaki turned her attention to the rows of cages and cells, where dozens of people were confined that had been considered missing in the wake of monster attacks and natural disasters. With a twitch of her finger the doors were blasted off their hinges, leaving the cells open for their occupants to escape.
"If you expect me to hold your hands from here then don't hold your breaths. I already killed everyone, so get out and find your way back yourselves." She stated coldly to the captives, even as one of them fell to their knees before her, tears in his eyes as he said over and over,
"Thank you miss Tornado! Thank you!" As the rest of the captives joined him in thanking her, Tatsumaki clicked her tongue while trying not to recall her own experience with being kept in a cell.
"Just shut up!" She eventually snapped at them angrily, shutting everyone as she ranted at them, "Instead of thanking me you all should just get out of here! And next time don't expect a hero to come and save you!"
Her piece said, Tatsumaki used her telekinetic powers to create an opening in the underground facility large enough for her to fly through, and left the captives behind as she tried to forget her childhood. Of course, THAT just made her recall what Alex told her before.
"YOU IDIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!" She screamed at the top of her lungs suddenly, while many of the mountains around her began to crumble and dissolve in the wake of her rampant psychic powers.
***
Ty Lee: her poor maidenly heart...
Yang: she does seem like the type of person who's fun to tease.
Alex: RIGHT????
Bestia: what about me?!?!
Alex: I love you too Bestia
Bestia: teehee
Saya: so how many women have you swindled into joining your harem like that?
Alex: don't know. But feel free to count when you join them
Saya: cocky bastard, aren't you?
Alex: I'm pretty sure you're already aware I have an abundance of cock
Yang: ...
Robin: ...
Ty Lee: 😃
Bestia: 😱
Cynthia: 😳
Saya: no comment...
Anne: you really enjoy having all these new girls to tease, don't you husband 🙂
Alex: ...
Alex: no comment
...
Alex spent a few more minutes interacting with the girls on the Chatroom, with Cynthia occasionally posting a new picture of some kind of Pokemon she'd encountered, and Lucy doing the same with monsters she'd tamed from Spira, as well spirits she was contracted with. Some of the girls posted the progress they were making in their respective training and quests, while Mikan and Haruna posted pictures of the different dishes they were preparing for dinner that night.
Those two and the rest of the women who worked the kitchen, mainly Pandora who didn't join the Valkyries, had all purchased various cooking abilities after quickly building up points through having everyone eat their food. Though they had mostly bought skills and knowledge of certain characters from an anime Alex knew of but never watched, called Food Wars, they all had their sights set on the divine level cooking skills that costed significantly more than the ones they had already bought.
But even with the skills they had just acquired, Alex could practically smell the food that Mikan and Haruna were preparing though the image of the Chatroom, and his mouth began watering in anticipation. He wasn't the only one though, as numerous comments started pouring in from his wives and lovers about looking forward to eating tonight's dishes.
Leaving a single comment about how delicious it looked, Alex closed the Chatroom as his expression turned more serious. It was time to resume training.
"Elaine. Kusu." He said to the empty air, before the two aforementioned women appeared before him.
"My liege." Kusu said as she bowed respectfully, while Elaine simply silently bowed her head.
"I think it's time to kick my training of the FFWCR up a notch." Alex told them, making both women stand up straighter as they awaited his orders.
"Kusu, prepare the stage and an opponent for me to spar against. Elaine, I need you to restrict my strength so I can't rely on it too much."
""Of course."" They said at the exact same second, before both women moved to do as he commanded.
Elaine appeared behind Alex and silently placed a hand on his back, sealing his strength as she did so until he was even weaker than he was in his base form. Kusu on the other hand tapped the butt of her scepter on the ground, creating a bubble that enveloped all three of them as she transported them to another space within the scepter itself that mirrored Alex's island. Separate from the one Vegeta and Beerus were in of course.
Once within the space, Kusu tapped her scepter on the ground a second time, producing a number of shadowy figures that surrounded them while a single one stepped forward.
When Elaine had finished restricting his strength, Alex looked up and smiled wryly when he saw who his first opponent was going to be.
"I think full strength Frieza when he fought Son Goku for the first time would be an adequate opponent. Don't you my liege?" Kusu said as she and Elaine both stepped back, while Alex got into his stance and said,
"Perfect." Kusu smiled mischievously at that, before adding as an afterthought,
"Oh yes, they'll all also be fighting with the intent to kill. Is that agreeable?" The corner of Alex's mouth twitched upwards in amusement at her 'innocent' question, before he said replied with the same tone as before,
"I wouldn't have it any other way."
Nodding in affirmation, Kusu and Elaine watched as the shadowy Frieza lunged at Alex suddenly while releasing a shout. Meanwhile Alex's hands were moving around him in a way that resembled the gentle flow of a stream, while illusionary trails of light blue followed in their wake.
***
"Are you sure Anne?" Akeno asked the Dragon Empress hesitantly, to which Anne nodded as she stated,
"Yes! Alex told me before that Fire Benders can also bend and redirect lightning, but he couldn't remember the details of it so I could never try! But now I have the scrolls depicting the way to do so, so I want to try redirecting it to get a feel of lighting to start with!"
As she said that, Anne looked down once again at the scrolls that she had received as a reward for the sudden quest they had all participated in several days prior. Within them were movements and techniques for Fire Bending that she never would've conceived of, as well as the secrets for bending lightning.
When Alex took a look at them and saw who their creator was, he told Anne with an uncharacteristically serious expression and tone that she better treat the scrolls like a worldly treasure, and even made her raise up a cup of Ginseng tea with him to honor him. She didn't know who Iroh was, but from Alex's behavior Anne figured it must've been someone important.
Back in the present, Anne was currently trying to get Akeno to 'attack' her with lightning to train her lightning redirection, which she hoped would help her generate her own lightning in the near future. However Akeno was having some doubts.
"I'll tone down the power so if it doesn't work then it the attack won't be fatal. After that we can try increasing the power bit by bit." She said eventually, not wanting to accidentally vaporize Anne if she made a mistake with the technique. While Akeno DID enjoy using her lightning in the bedroom and during fights with her sadistic nature, this was NOT a situation where she could afford to make a mistake.
Though disappointed she wasn't going to be able to experience Akeno's full power lightning just yet, Anne still took her stance as she waited for her to start.
Raising her hand, arcs of lighting appeared along Akeno's fingers as slowly built up in power until she pointed at Anne suddenly, and a powerful bolt of golden lightning shot out at her.
With two fingers out in front of her, Anne drew the lightning into herself through them as the current arced down her arm, and into her stomach. This was the most critical part, as if Anne faltered at all while the lighting was within her body, such as letting it connect with her heart, it could kill her.
Even as she reached this stage though Anne's focus never wavered, as she then directed the lightning up to her other arm, and shot it in a different direction off to the side of Akeno.
*CRACKLE!*
*KABOOM!*
The bolt of lightning crashed into one of the Torii gates surrounding Akeno's shrine, destroying it completely and leaving behind only a few lumps of charred wood.
"That was amazing!" Akeno declared as Anne slumped down and tried to catch her breath, not at all expecting that redirecting lighting would be so 'intense'. Despite that though, there was a wide smile on Anne's face from the rush she felt controlling lightning, which was considered the strongest art of Fire Bending.
"How did it feel?" Akeno asked as she repaired the Torii gate, to which Anne replied after she caught her breath,
"It was intense, but exhilarating at the same time! Let's do it again!" Agreeing whole heartedly, as she was always curious about more ways to control lightning, Akeno began charging up a second bolt that was a slightly more powerful than the last, while Anne hurriedly got into the proper position and stance.
 Comments ReportChapter 481: The Amazon and the Green DragonIn a certain world there was a city unlike any other city in that particular world in that it was home to, a city that was built in a perfect circle separated into eight sections like a giant pie, with a tower raising up fifty floors above the rest of the city. What was also unique about this city was the numerous races that called it home, such as humans, elves, dark elves, dwarves, beastmen, pallum, Amazons, and even gods.
One such goddess was currently hurrying down the middle of the street, a broad smile on her face even as she hurried to her job, though her attention was on something else.
"Pokemon are so cute! I wonder which ones I should ask Cynthia for when she can send them to us???" Hestia declared to herself, not caring who heard her, as she watched the steady stream off pictures being posted by Cynthia from something she called the 'Pokenet'.
Top of the list that she wanted of course were several of what Cynthia called fire types, which were a must have for a goddess of the hearth. But another requirement was for them to fluffy and cuddly so she could snuggle them as much as she wanted.
The top three that met this criteria were the Pokemon Cynthia called Growlithe, Flareon, and Vulpix, the fire puppies and fox Pokemon. But of course there were the non-fire type Pokemon that Hestia wanted as well, such as the lovable and helpful Chansey, as well as the very soft looking Swablu and Mareep.
But at the very top of the list of things she wanted to snuggle that wasn't even a Pokemon, was Alex himself. While his body was composed of thick and solid muscle, a good portion of it was covered in vibrant red fur that his numerous wives swore up and down was softer than it had any right to be. Not to mention that they also said his body constantly radiated a strong heat that made him akin to a living heater, which only served to make Hestia want to snuggle him even more.
Hestia never thought she might fall in love in her life, especially after she became known as one of the three maiden goddesses, but with each passing day that she learned more about Alex her feelings grew.
While the first impression she and the other six girls from the chat had of him was that of a pervert and licentious man, they quickly learned there was more to him than that. In the following days the girls around Alex took numerous pictures of him without him seemingly realizing it, posting them to the Chatroom for all to see.
While there were definitely lewd pictures that embarrassed Hestia to look at, there were also pictures of Alex spending time with his children, showing them a new side of him as he taught them and played with them. Then there were the pictures that were taken in Alex's day-to-day life, mostly when he was interacting with his wives.
But the ones that captivated Hestia the most were the ones that had been taken of Alex when he was training, his intense focus and drive showing through his expressions and movements. Even now, when she was still walking through the streets of Orario, Hestia became distracted as one of the girls posted a video of Alex going through the movements of his latest training session.
Nearly drooling at the sight that no one else around her could see, Hestia arrived at her destination without realizing it before she came to a sudden stop as she ran into someone else.
"Oof!" Hestia exclaimed as she fell back after running into what felt like a brick wall.
"Sorry about....that...." She began earnestly, before trailing off as she realized who it was she bumped into.
"Don't worry about it goddess Hestia, I didn't see you there." Said the woman who stood over seven feet tall, had the dark skin characteristic of the Amazons, and was covered in noticeable muscle. Her head was shaved on the sides, while the hair on top came down in a long braid that went past her butt. The only clothes she wore, if they could even be called that, was a chain mail bikini top, and a couple strips of chain mail that hung from her waist in front of her crotch and butt crack.
She was none other than 'The Amazon', Cara Bean, the strongest adventurer in Orario after she defeated 'The King', Ottar, in a war game, which forced the Freya Familia to relinquish their position as the strongest familia in Orario. She was also the first ever Level 8 to appear after the fall of the Zeus and Hera Familias, and with her explosive growth she was expected to reach Level 9 soon as well.
When she realized who it was she bumped into outside of the potato shop Hestia groaned and made a face, not because of the Amazon herself, but because of who she was undoubtedly attending.
"Well look who decided to show up to work~!" Declared a woman dressed in tomboyish fashion, her eyes squinted until they were nearly closed, and her light red hair tied up in a short ponytail.
Though at first Hestia puffed up her cheeks in annoyance at the speaker, the trickster goddess Loki, she then smirked as she recalled something she learned about Alex's world and their counterpart gods.
"I'm sorry for the wait SIR, can I please take your order?" Hestia asked while putting emphasis on the 'sir' part, and pointedly looking at Loki's nonexistent chest as she did so.
"What did you say, virgin midget?!" Loki snarled back at her, irritated at what Hestia was obviously indicating. Contrary to her expectations though, Hestia didn't react to being called a 'virgin midget', instead she smirked as she said in a singsong voice,
"Not for long~! When my new hubby arrives to Orario, I won't be one of the maiden goddesses anymore~!" THAT immediately caught everyone's attention, as Hestia was famous for refusing every single confession she had received.
"Bullshit!" Loki immediately stated, not for an instant believing that HESTIA of all people had a man.
The tiny goddess however puffed out her impressive chest, and stated proudly,
"Nope! His name is Alex Morningstar, he's a Saiyan known as the Dragon Emperor and is stronger than any other mortal we've ever seen, even from the Zeus and Hera Familias!" Even as Hestia puffed up her chest in pride of Alex, everyone else around looked at her with doubt at her claims. Everyone but one, who's eyes widened when she heard the word 'Saiyan'.
"And what exactly is a Saiyan? Another one of your delusions midget?" This time Hestia puffed out her cheeks in irritation as she stated,
"No! Saiayns are a people who can grow powerful even without a Falna! They're stronger than even Amazons, the Boaz and Weretigers!" Numerous scoffs and sneers answered Hestia's claims, as Amazons, Weretigers and Boaz(Boar People) were known for having the highest physical ability amongst the races.
"Pft! If you're gonna tell lies, at least make them believable!" Loki snorted as she tried to hold in her laughter, along with everyone else around them.
"Ne! I'm not lying! Alex will be here soon, and then you'll see!" Hestia pouted as she puffed her cheeks even more, her twin tails going rigid in response to her agitation. Loki just smirked at her insistence though, and remarked tauntingly,
"Ok then. But no matter how strong this supposed 'Dragon Emperor' is, there's no way he can match up against MY 'Amazon', right Cara?" Turning towards her strongest fighter, who had been accompanying her as one of her guards for the day, Loki was surprised to see that Cara wasn't there.
"Cara said she was heading to the Labyrinth lady Loki." A petite girl with long golden blonde hair with matching eyes told her, making Loki's closed eye twitch in irritation.
...
"A Saiyan!?" Cara muttered to herself as she clenched and unclenched her hands anxiously, her expression hardening despite the fear growing in her gut.
"I have to fight a fucking SAIYAN now!?!" She exclaimed as she got closer to the looming Tower of Babel, which sat atop the entrance to the Labyrinth like a massive cork.
As she looked up to the greatest structure of this world, Cara recalled the previous two men she had killed in the last few years.
The first had been a cringy chuuni who referred to himself as a 'demon king', and had planned to enslave the entirety of Orario and the gods. What he hadn't accounted for was Cara, with the numerous blessings she'd obtained through the Falna along with the gifts she'd gotten when she reincarnated, as well as the ones she bought later on.
Then there had been a bastard that came in order to 'collect' the many 'waifus' that were a part of the Danmachi world, only for Cara to rip his cock off and shove it down his throat before he turned into dust.
In both cases they had believed they were untouchable due to their own respective cheats, only for Cara to show them the difference between them due to the years of work she'd spent growing stronger.
But now her next opponent was apparently a Saiyan of all things, a Saiyan that was just as cringy as the 'demon king' guy as he went around using one of Lucifer's names, and had apparently already established contact with Hestia. And based on the way Hestia was acting, she believed this one was also like the second bastard who wanted to collect the women of this world.
Though Cara wasn't interested in women, she had befriended many of them during her life in this world, including Hestia she hoped. And while Cara did want to protect them somewhat, her biggest concern of course was someone else entirely. The shotas.
Finn, captain of the Loki Familia, the numerous other Pallum that had joined Loki familia in recent years, including her own personal supporters, and then the many shotas and Pallum who weren't adventurers, but were just simple citizens. And then there was the greatest shota of all in her opinion, the one Cara intended to give her virginity to when he finally arrived to Orario, Bell Cranel.
Recalling the face of the twitchy little rabbit-like boy from her memories, Cara reaffirmed her decision to protect him and the rest of the shotas from the evil reincarnators. Having decided so, she met her three supporters in front of the Labyrinth entrance, having sent word to the Familia when she left Loki, and descended into the labyrinth in order to prepare for the arrival of the Saiyan.

***
In a little rambunctious town on a small island located in the most dangerous sea in the world, a solitary figure was making her way down the street in a calm and steady manner. Around her were the sounds of people, mostly pirates, drinking, laughing, singing, cursing, fighting, and even killing as the figure was sure she heard a bomb go off somewhere.
"What a lively place." Nico Robin uttered to herself with a small smile, as she was in a pleasantly good mood after getting Intel on the island they were on, Jaya, and a possible lead on the island they were headed to, Sky Island.
Though she could have just asked Alex for information after learning how each world possessed a certain 'story', and how Alex was privy to those stories from his own world, they both rejected that idea entirely.
Robin and her shipmates were pirates looking for an adventure, and there wouldn't be any kind of adventure to be had if Alex told her every detail of what was going to happen. That was what he himself had said, and Robin herself had agreed due to her nature as an Archeologist who enjoyed figuring things out instead of being told everything.
However that didn't stop him from dropping hints or tips here or there, such as when Alex told Robin that Sky Island DID exist, contrary to what everyone else on Jaya believed, and that they should take the old man with them. She hadn't known WHO the old man Alex was referring to was at the time, but with her newly acquired Intel, Robin believed he was referring to the man known as Mont Blanc Cricket.
Her curiosity growing at the mystery, Robin was headed back to their ship, the Going Merry, when a commotion louder then the rest so far drew her attention.
"I should probably take a detour..." She muttered to herself, electing to go around whatever was causing the ruckus. What she didn't know though, was that the source of that ruckus was none other than her captain, Monkey D. Luffy, one of the crew's senior officers, Roronoa Zoro, and their navigator, Nami.
But as the trio were 'thrown' out of a bar by a pirate known as Bellemy the Hyena, another figure left the bar shortly afterwards, one who appeared drunken as he stumbled and staggered his way down the road.
As he got further away from the bar though, the man's steps became more firm as he staggered less, and walked with more power and authority in his gait. Then, when he was sure no one was looking, the man touched his face with his left hand, changing it from a forgettable drunkard, to one of the most notorious pirates in the New World, Francis D. Drake, AKA the Green Dragon.
Not to be confused for X Drake of the Worst Generation of pirates, Francis D. Drake was a pirate that had been active for several years now, developing power and infamy across the Grand Line and the New World. The two traits he was particularly infamous for were his terrifying destructive tendencies and capabilities, namely leaving only flaming wrecks whenever he engaged with the marines or other pirates, and his apparent ability to mimic the power of Devil Fruit users.
Though the details of his ability to copy other Devil Fruits powers wasn't known, all Drake had to do was swallow some of a Devil Fruit user's DNA to be able to use the same abilities as them. It was of course fairly simple to gain their DNA when he used Armament Haki to be able to make even the Logia user's bleed.
But Drake didn't kill ALL of his opponents, leaving only the ones he knew would one day stand in Luffy's way to live, so they could help him grow when he too eventually set sail.
"Now that I saw Luffy and the crew, I wonder if I should return to the New World?" He mused to himself while wandering down the street, before arriving at a dock that was seemingly empty. Drake just continued walking though, before placing his foot onto what appeared to be open air as he began walking up it.
Soon the gangplank and ship that had previously been invisible reappeared as he stepped onto the deck, being greeted by his crew as he did so.
"Hey captain! Did you see what you needed to see?" Asked one of Drake's men, to which he nodded and said,
"Yep. Believe it or not, that crew will be one of the biggest names in piracy in the future." His words caused a stir of laughter as another man remarked,
"Please! With how accurate your predictions are boss, none of us will doubt what you say! But enough of that, one of the men picked up a newspaper while you were out." As he said that, the man tossed a rolled up newspaper at Drake, showing him a headline about a new and terrifying arrival to the Grand Line, a man who seemingly appeared out of thin air.
Drake's expression hardened as he read the numerous crimes the person had committed, which included pillaging and destroying villages, merchant ships, other pirates, and marine vessels.
Though Drake himself didn't mind attacking other ships, especially other pirates and marines, he never once considered attacking 'innocents', and if he did then he actively avoid taking their lives as much as possible. This man however, had been witnessed performing a number of atrocious acts such as torture, r@pe, unnecessary killing, and much more.
"Let's go." Drake said once he finished reading the paper, which included the man's freshly acquired bounty, as well as the place he was most likely headed to next, Alabaster.
Even as he said so, none of his crew leapt up to prep the ship for departure, as instead the ship itself seemed to come to life as the ropes and rigging moved on their own, and the anchor rose from the depths. Soon the vessel known as the Sea Dragon was on its way.
...
"HAHA! This world is awesome! I should've come here sooner!" A man declared as he reclined back in the captain's quarters of his newly acquired ship, surrounded by numerous women who waited on him hand and foot while dressed in scant clothing. Among them were civilians, marines, and even other pirates that the man had captured during his brief time as a pirate.
Now they were his 'crew', running his ship while serving him as they traversed the Grand Line.
"Captain!" One of the women suddenly cried out, rousing him from his merriment as he growled threateningly,
"This better be important!" As the woman barged into the captains quarters though, she appeared distressed as she cried out,
"The Sea Dragon has appeared, and it's headed right towards us!" Though the man wracked his brains as he tried to recall if there was a name like that from the world of One Piece, the rest of the girls began to exclaim in fear as they recalled the tales of the Sea Dragon.
"SHUT UP!" He roared at them eventually, making the women all quiet down before he 'punished' them again.
Standing from the place he had been seated at, the man made his way out onto the deck of his ship so that he could see what idiot decided to stand against him this time. But as he noticed the ship was a short ways away from them, his attention was drawn skyward by a terrible roar.
Looking up, the man saw the last sight he'd ever see, as teeth, claws, and fire descended upon him.

"Come on Shia, this is just pathetic..." Alex taunted as he sent the rabbit-girl flying once again, by using the FFWCR style on her.
Nearby Myuu, Videl, and Kale were all watching the match with wide eyes as Shia tried to attack Alex, only to have her attacks be redirected and returned to her stronger than before. As for why they were present, it was because Alex wanted to show them how pure 'strength' wasn't all it took to be strong, since his own strength was sealed at the moment by Elaine.
"This is bullshit!" Shia roared as she got sent flying yet again, before she pointed at Alex and said accusingly, "Your strength isn't actually sealed, is it!?!"
Alex just smirked at her accusation, and stated bluntly,
"It is. Elaine sealed until I was weaker than I usually am in my base form." Shia's brow twitched in annoyance at how, even when he was supposedly weakened, she couldn't get an edge on Alex.
"How weak are we talking exactly?" She demanded angrily, to which Alex adopted a contemplative look as he pondered her question, before finally answering,
"According to Elaine.....I'm currently about as weak as Yamcha."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
Wether it was Shia, Myuu, Videl, or Kale, no one said anything for a moment as they let that sink in, as every single one of them knew just how 'weak' Yamcha was, to the point that he didn't even manage to get through the preliminaries of the tournament.
"THATS FUCKING BULLSHIT!!!"
Shia roared suddenly as her hair and eyes turned blood red, indicating she was entering her berserk mode as all of her physical abilities shot up with her transformation.
But even then, with both the FFWCR and Observation Haki at his disposal, Alex's advantage over her never wavered as illusionary trails of light blue followed his hand movements, and every one of Shia's increasingly erratic attacks was redirected as she attacked him.
"I think that's about enough for a demonstration." Alex told the three spectators suddenly, deciding it was time for them to leave before one of Shia's attacks accidentally hurt them. Normally she would never risk the safety of those around her, but in her current berserk mode, the usual control and restraint Shia showed was no longer there.
The last thing they saw before Elaine whisked the trio away, before any of them could protest, was Alex removing his shorts along with his seals after he sent Shia flying yet again. Needless to say, Myuu and Kale especially were both irritated at being sent away, especially when they felt the ground shaking a few minutes later.
When it was time for dinner a few hours later, Alex returned with one content and relaxed rabbit after a prolonged session of hate fucking, who clung onto him with none of the anger and frustration she showed earlier.
"The food looks and smells amazing ladies, I can't wait to eat." Alex told Mikan and Haruna as he took his seat, with Anne on his right side and Kuroka on his left. Unlike a usual dinner table though, every single person sitting at it was completely naked.
Though this wasn't exactly strange when one considered the usual activities of Alex and his wives when his children weren't around, there was actually an entirely different reason for this in the recent days. Namely that even if they sat down for dinner fully clothed, they would still end up naked after a single bite of the food prepared by Mikan and Haruna.
And as could be expected, even when nothing sexual was actually going on, there were numerous cries as everyone ate when they experienced multiple mouthgasms from the wonderful food that had been prepared for them. And best of all, not only did the food look and taste really good, due to the properties they had obtained through the shop, it was also really healthy and gave everyone more energy after they ate than before.
They weren't the only ones taking advantage of the shop though, as Alex looked over the table he could tell that many of the women had already grown from the quests and things they could buy for themselves. Many of the women had been running through quests like crazy over the last week in order to purchase the abilities or items that caught their eyes, some of which were quite expensive.
While many simply bought abilities that enhanced their physical capabilities, like Superhuman strength and so on, there were many that were interested in Devil Fruits and Sacred Gears due to the wide variety and potential they had. There were also certain items that they were after that were more specialized, like Lucy with keys that would allow her to summon beings from other worlds, or Yuna with being able to purchase upgrades to the numerous skills she possessed in her status.
So Alex wasn't surprised when it came time for them to leave the space-time orb, and many more women than usual wanted to stay in order to grind more quests out to earn more abilities. Those who were participating in the tournament however all received a sudden quest that offered a very lucrative reward if they won the tournament, which fired them up even more. However, depending on which bracket they ended up in, several of the girls planned to return to the space-time orb until their day to fight.
"Good morning Alex! I trust your night was restful?" Asked the Grand Supreme Kai of Universe Seven when he saw Alex the next morning, to which he replied wryly,
"On the contrary, it was rather eventful." The Grand Supreme Kai nodded slowly as he glanced over Alex's numerous wives, and said,
"I bet... Anyways, I'm looking forward to the matches today. After seeing what the children were capable of yesterday, I can't wait to see what today will bring!" Saying that, the Grand Supreme Kai turned and left as he made his way to the commentary booth, with Anne following him after she gave Alex a kiss.
Alex then led his wives to the same VIP room they were in the day before, where both Kusu and Vados tapped their scepters to expel the people within.
"What? Oh! It's morning already." Beerus said irritably as he and Vegeta reappeared, alongside Whis and Goku. And upon seeing them, Alex and the girls could tell that the two Saiyans had grown much stronger in the time they had been within the scepters.
"Hey guys! Is it time for the first round already?" Goku asked as he got his bearings, to which Alex told him,
"They'll be announcing the brackets any time now. You two will need to know if you're going to be fighting today or not." When they heard that both Saiyans grew serious as they awaited the results, while Alex silently opened the Chatroom.
Alex: anyone want to stream the fights to the chat today? Let those who aren't here watch as well.
Anne: I will since I'm commentating, so I'll need to pay attention anyways.
Alex: thank you!
Yang: thanks!
Ty Lee: this is so exciting!
Tatsumaki: humph! I bet I could beat all of them easily!
Cynthia: this'll be different from a Pokemon League.
Saya: I already know everything they're going to be teaching us today anyways.
Alex smiled wryly at the stream of replies coming from them and the girls in the space-time orb, before there was suddenly an image on the Chatroom screen showing the arena and rest of the colosseum.
And no sooner than when Anne started live streaming it, did the announcer cry out,
"AND WELCOME BACK TO THE SECOND DAY OF THE UNIVERSAL GRAND TOURNAMENT!"
Deafening cheers and the thundering of feet answered his welcoming, as people hurried to their seats and got ready to watch the show.
"LAST NIGHT, WHILE EVERYBODY SLEPT, OUR SIXTY FOUR CONTESTANTS WERE RAN THROUGH A RANDOMIZER TO DETERMINE WHO WILL BE COMPETING EACH DAY OF THE TOURNAMENT! AND NOW LETS SEE THE RESULTS!"
As he said that, a large projection appeared in the middle of the colosseum that showed everyone the same people who had been selected for the fights the night before, separated into four groups to determine whole would be fighting which day.
