The next day, Onigashima.
"Hahaha! It's the annual grand festival! Bring out all the fine wine!"
"Feels like a bit much. Should we throw the leftovers into Wano later? Those lowlifes will surely pick them up like treasure!"
"Haha! They don't even deserve garbage! They should be eating what I shat out!"
"By the way, why did Kaido-sama order us to abstain for three days before the festival? Damn, I'm dying here!"
"No idea. I heard it was something Uchiha Jin requested."
"Damn that bastard! He's not human! He monopolizes Wano's number one beauty for himself night after night but makes us hold back!"
"Shut up, you idiot! If you want to die, don't drag me into it! That's a big shot even Kaido-sama has to show respect to!"
Onigashima, the venue for the festival, was packed. Twenty thousand Beast Pirates, five thousand Blackbeard Pirates, and ten thousand of Orochi's forces gathered together, holding a decadent feast.
When the high-ranking officers of the three forces made their entrance, the atmosphere reached a new boiling point.
"Hey! Where's that stupid son of mine? I told him he had to be here today!" Kaido roared.
"Report! Yamato-sama is currently changing clothes under Black Maria's... guidance," Bao Huang reported, dropping from the ceiling.
"Just forget it. Don't bother showing off that daughter of yours who's useless except for her face," Jin mocked, his arm around Komurasaki, who still wore the collar.
Kaido's face darkened. But after thinking about it, he begrudgingly felt it was true.
"Zehahaha! Let's enjoy ourselves today! By the way, Captain Jin! Didn't you prepare a very interesting program? How about showing it to everyone as an appetizer?" Blackbeard laughed, his arm around 'Iva-chan'.
After three consecutive days, Blackbeard found this reserved woman quite exciting. For someone used to streetwalkers, she was a fresh experience.
"No rush. A good show should be savored slowly," Jin said, pressing the power button on the live-streaming Visual Den Den Mushi beside him and shouting, "Bring them up!"
...
The newest model of live-streaming Den Den Mushi allowed anyone who dialed the number to connect to another and watch the broadcast. It reminded Jin of the live-streaming platform from his previous life.
The hottest 'room' naturally belonged to the red-haired songstress Uta, reportedly pulling in at least eight-figure viewer numbers per stream.
In today's newspaper, Morgans had reserved the front page of his World Economic News Paper to display a specific number, urging everyone to tune in.
No one knew whose number it was yet.
...
Holy Land Mary Geoise.
Despite the impending Levely, the Five Elders were, as usual, holed up here striking poses. The number Morgans published in this morning's paper had piqued their interest.
With some time before the meeting started, they decided to see what nonsense that damn bird was up to now.
...
Fleet Admiral's office, Marine Headquarters.
Sakazuki, who could rival Gin in misery and whom nobody could order around, silently turned on a live-streaming Den Den Mushi.
He was starting to feel that sitting in the Fleet Admiral's chair was utterly boring. He'd rather be on the front lines as an Admiral, fighting enemies.
"Hmm?!" The image projected by the Den Den Mushi made the eyes of the only Marine who didn't play 'Pirate House' nearly pop out of his head.
...
The Red Hair Pirates' Territory, the New World.
Lucky Roux, as usual holding a large piece of roast meat, took a bite and asked Shanks, "Boss, Luffy and the others are about to fight Blackbeard and Kaido. Should we intervene?"
Shanks was also quite troubled, 'Should I go to Wano or Mary Geoise?'
At that moment, the First Mate, Benn Beckman took out a live-streaming Den Den Mushi and turned it on.
"Huh!? That child is..." Shanks turned to look. The face of the child in the projection made his expression change dramatically.
...
Meanwhile, on Onigashima.
Thanks to Kin'emon's Fuku Fuku no Mi's Ability, the first wave of the Straw Hat Grand Alliance had secretly infiltrated the banquet hall. (T/N: Garb-Garb Fruit.)
They saw the same image being broadcast to countless viewers across the seas, including Sakazuki, the Five Elder Stars, and Shanks-
On the central high platform of the banquet hall, a boy of about eight years old, with an ugly samurai topknot, had his hands and feet bound tightly by chains, tied to a cross-shaped board behind him.
But unlike in the original work, while Momonosuke hadn't been beaten to a pulp, he was only wearing a pair of open-crotch pants.
"What are they going to do? They've tied up such a young boy..." In Foosha Village, Dawn Island, in the East Blue, the old village chief swallowed hard, his unease growing.
"How pitiful. These pirates are so cruel, tying up such a small child..." Makino, the bar owner, held a baby in her arms, looking at Momonosuke with sympathy.
In the New World, the suspected father of Makino's child, Red-Haired Shanks, also stared wide-eyed and muttered, "Is that... Oden-san's child?"
He had been on good terms with Momonosuke back then, even bathed together, so he could vaguely recognize him.
Soon, the camera focused on Jin.
"Hello, folks from all over the world! Welcome to the Onigashima live stream! If you like our broadcast, please type [Amazing] in the chat or send donations..." Hearing Jin 's nonsensical spiel, Shanks, Garp, and even Rayleigh far away on Sabaody Archipelago felt a strong sense of foreboding.
'What is this freak planning now?'
"Next up, we'll bring you the live broadcast of the decisive battle on Onigashima. But before that, let's start with an appetizer for you all." After saying this, Jin, holding a terrified Komurasaki, stepped out of the frame, leaving the camera focused on Momonosuke and Kaido.
Seeing the woman Jin was holding, countless men across the seas gnashed their teeth in envy.
The fact that Hancock and Shirahoshi, two of the world's top beauties, were under Jin 's command already made men worldwide jealous.
And now he had another one!? The god is unfair!
"Toki-san!?" Upon seeing Komurasaki's face, Shanks, Rayleigh, and other former Roger Pirates' members simultaneously uttered a name.
Toki, full name Kozuki Toki, was Oden's wife and the mother of Momonosuke and Hiyori.
The woman Jin had been holding bore a ninety percent resemblance to Toki.
With just one glance, Shanks, Rayleigh, and the others guessed Komurasaki's, no, Hiyori's true identity.
"Brat! State your name! Who are you!?" Kaido, holding his kanabo, snarled at Momonosuke.
This scene had also happened in the original work, though Momonosuke's treatment was slightly better here, as he hadn't been beaten to a pulp. Well, for now.
Kin'emon, Ashura Doji, and several other samurai who had infiltrated the venue, seeing their lord being humiliated, prepared to act but were stopped by Marco.
After all, it wasn't time yet.
"I... I am..." Momonosuke's voice trembled. But under the gaze of Kaido beside him and the countless vicious pirates present, a sudden surge of courage made him shout to the entire world:
"Momo means peerless! My name is… Kozuki Momonosuke!! The man who will become the Shogun of Wano Country!!!"
For a moment, the entire world was stunned by the impassioned roar of this naked brat.
'Well said, Momo!'
'Excellent! Momonosuke-sama!'
Hearing Momonosuke's shout, the samurai disguised in Beasts Pirates' uniforms below secretly cheered in their hearts.
"Good! Very spirited!" However, a nightmarish voice straight from hell shattered the samurais' fantasies.
Jin stepped back into the frame, laughing heartily, "But 'Kozuki Momonosuke' is your old name. Your new name now is… Kozuki Momoko!"
Jin's words left the live audience and countless viewers utterly bewildered, 'Wh-what does that mean?'
Just as countless people worldwide were confused, Jin gestured. A plump middle-aged woman was brought forward, a sword held to her neck by Shiryu.
She's one of Oden's retainers, the kunoichi, Shinobu.
"Shinobu was captured? When did that happen!?" The faces of Kin'emon, Raizo, and the others below changed dramatically.
Carina, also disguised in a Beasts Pirates' uniform, lowered her head slightly, pretending to know nothing.
"You... you scoundrels! L-Let Momonosuke-sama go!" Even with a sword at her neck, Shinobu mustered the courage to yell at Jin.
Jin couldn't be bothered with such a minor character. A flash of sinister red light passed through his eyes and into Shinobu's pupils.
Genjutsu: Sharingan!
Shinobu's pupils instantly dilated, becoming unfocused like a blind person's, and she slowly walked towards Momonosuke.
"It's here! That ability of Jin's!" Shanks's sense of foreboding grew stronger.
He had seen this technique before. If he hadn't broken it with his Conqueror's Haki in time, Lucky Roux would have died by it.
...
"Sh-Shinobu? Wh-What are you doing?" Momonosuke was creeped out by Shinobu's blank, staring eyes fixed on him.
"All talk, weren't you shouting so boldly just now? You're already scared again?" Jin laughed.
As he spoke, Shinobu's right hand suddenly gathered a strange energy fluctuation and slammed it into Momonosuke's abdomen.
[Ripe-Ripe Enticement Jutsu!]
Under the influence of Shinobu's ability, Momonosuke's body began to grow at a visible rate.
In less than half a minute, he transformed from an eight-year-old brat into a man in his late twenties.
The live audience, no, the viewers worldwide, erupted at the sight.
While they knew Devil Fruits had all sorts of incredible powers, this was a first.
"This move is interesting!"
"He went from a kid to a man in an instant!"
"But a certain part doesn't seem to have grown much."
"Hahaha! You're right! It looks pretty much the same!"
"What a fantastic show, Jin-sama!"
The pirates present applauded and cheered.
"Tch~ So small." Jin glanced at the 28-year-old version of Momonosuke.
To be fair, the current Momonosuke wasn't ugly.
'Well then, things should get even more fun now.'
Hearing the pirates' cheers below, Jin sneered, "Bunch of country bumpkins. Did you think that was the end of it?"
'Huh? There's more?'
Under the expectant gazes of the tens of thousands of pirates, Jin 's smile twisted further.
"You scumbags, did you properly follow my order to abstain?"
Hearing this, the pirates perked up immediately. Countless voices complained.
"Yes! Jin-sama, do you have any idea how hard it's been for us these past few days?"
"There's nothing worse for a pirate than this!"
"On such a happy day, shouldn't you let the brothers have some fun?"
...
"Shut up, you trash!" Jin 's sharp shout instantly silenced the complaining pirates.
The next second, Jin revealed a malicious grin, "Wait in line."
As he spoke, the Susanoo materialized. Its giant skeletal hand reached down towards the crowd below.
Seeing the Susanoo's hand coming for him, Blackbeard was startled. But he soon realized Jin 's attack wasn't aimed at him, but at the person beside him... Iva-chan!
It happened too suddenly. 'Iva-chan', aka Emporio Ivankov, was grabbed by the Susanoo.
Genjutsu: Sharingan!
Repeating what he had done to Shinobu, Jin placed the mind-controlled Ivankov in front of the 28-year-old Momonosuke.
Suddenly, Ivankov raised their right hand, their fingernails sharpening into needle-like points, and stabbed forcefully at 28-year-old Momonosuke's body.
[Emporio Female Hormones!]
Seeing this move, Blackbeard's eyes nearly popped out of his head. He remembered this technique...
Immediately, Momonosuke's already small... appendage began to retract inwards. And a certain other area started to become noticeably prominent.
"Ooooh!"
"This is amazing!"
"This show is incredible!"
The scumbag pirates, who had been holding back for days, jumped around excitedly like monkeys.
"From now on, your name is... Kozuki Momoko!" Jin pointed at the newly transformed Kozuki Momonosuke and laughed.
"No, no! Don't! Don't look at me!" The newly gender-bent Momoko's voice had become as sharp as a woman's. It had to be said, while Oden was abstract-looking, Toki was a first-class beauty.
After the gender change, Momoko wasn't bad-looking. At least, she's much better than Ivankov's female form.
"Alright, scumbags, enjoy yourselves!" With that, Jin controlled the Susanoo to sever the chains binding Momonosuke's, no, Momoko's hands and feet.
Before she could hit the ground, he kicked her" off the platform, sending her flying into the crowd of eager, depraved pirates below.
"You're one twisted bastard, coming up with something like this," Kaido remarked. He thought he was scummy enough, but he felt he still had much to learn from Jin's methods.
"This ability is truly fascinating," Orochimaru couldn't contain his excitement, licking his lips again. But he still preferred the Ope Ope no Mi.
"Blegh! Ugh—!" Blackbeard, having finally realized who he had been sharing intimate moments with for the past three days, felt waves of nausea wash over him as he recalled Ivankov's face from the Summit War.
He even felt like his manhood was going to rot off.
...
Meanwhile, Momoko had landed in the sea of pirates.
"Aaaahhhh- No! Stay away from me!" Momoko shrieked, covering her chest with her hands.
However, not everyone was like the Straw Hat Pirates, playing at being pirates.
At least a thousand pirates leered and surged towards Momoko.
"Hey now! We're all men here, no need to be so shy!"
"Let this big brother check if you're developing properly~"
"Be a good girl~ Let me have a look!"
"Scream! Scream louder! The louder you scream, the more exciting it is!"
…
The billions of viewers watching the live Den Den Mushi broadcast were utterly stunned, 'Damn, they're really going all out, aren't they?'
Instantly, the same thought crossed countless minds: 'Under no circumstances should we ever offend Jin. Just look at what happened to this Momonosuke.'
'Uh... speaking of which, was 'he' a 'he' or a 'she' now?'
