Chapter 60 - Chapter 59: (Bonus) Sakura's Tragic Fate

Miyuki Uchiha: "Have you already arrived in the Sabaody Archipelago?"

Nerona Jaeger: "It's all over."

Miyuki Uchiha: "Huh?"

Esdeath: "We went there together—if someone like Rayleigh turned out to be a real problem, then we've got bigger issues than we thought."

Miyuki Uchiha: "Haha, true. Esdeath-sama, your current strength isn't what it used to be."

Luo Hao: "I wonder how Silvers Rayleigh died... and what kind of Noble Phantasm did you get by killing him, Jaeger?"

Nerona Jaeger: "I threw him into the sun. The heat was millions of degrees. Nothing left at all."

Miyuki Uchiha: "Wait, what? You threw him into the sun?"

Sakura Tosaka: "The... sun?"

Luo Hao: "Now hold on... How did you manage that? I know you have Hercules Belt, but that only boosts your physical power, not to that degree. What other trick are you hiding?"

Jibril: "Indeed, throwing someone into the sun? Even I, a god-killing Flugel, find that hard to grasp."

Erina Nakiri: "Since I joined this chat group, I've been learning so much every day..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "So, World Noble-kun, are you going to tell us how you did it?"

Miyuki Uchiha: "Honestly, I think His Highness Jaeger might be exaggerating. He's no Saiyan or one-punch man—where does he get the strength to toss someone to the sun?"

In the chat, Jaeger's claim about throwing Silvers Rayleigh into the sun stirred up a lot of interest.

Even Luo Hao, who had taken the power of gods, and Jibril, a god-killing weapon, couldn't fathom such a feat.

Jaeger, however, remained silent and simply shared a screenshot of the Noble Phantasm he had acquired.

[Meteor Throw]

Type: Conceptual Treasure (Anti-Unit / Forced Displacement)

Description:

Vice Admiral Garp, the "Hero of the Marines," devoted his entire life to tempering the human body to its absolute limit. Through countless battles, he elevated the act of throwing beyond technique—transforming it into a law of combat itself. In the world of pirates, no being could resist being hurled once caught within his grasp.

This ultimate principle was recorded by the Hand of Hermes, crystallizing Garp's legend into a fantasy armament.

Upon activation, Meteor Throw enforces a conceptual absolute:

the target must be thrown.

Resistance—physical, magical, conceptual, or causal—is rendered meaningless at the moment of execution. The enemy is seized and launched toward a designated point in space, their velocity continuously accelerating as a fixed phenomenon. The acceleration does not cease through conventional limits, surpassing sonic, relativistic, and ultimately light-speed, until impact occurs.

To the target, escape is impossible.

To observers, it appears as if a falling star has been forcibly rewritten into existence.

This is not merely an attack...

it is the embodiment of overwhelming physical authority, elevated to a myth.

[Chat Group]

Miyuki Uchiha: "Wait, hold up! What kind of terrifying Noble Phantasm is this? You can really throw people to the sun?"

Jibril: "Calm down, there's a catch. You need to capture the enemy first."

Luo Hao: "Don't forget, Jaeger also has the Hercules Belt, which makes even gods unable to avoid his grasp."

Jibril: "Ah, I see... when you combine Noble Phantasm like that, it's practically cheating."

Sakura Tosaka: "Congrats, Jaeger-nii!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Ah, World Noble-kun is getting stronger and stronger~"

Meanwhile, in her world, Kasumigaoka Utaha was getting frustrated. She'd been hitting the gym, trying to improve her physical fitness.

But even when she got stronger, she realized it was futile compared to the power of Jaeger's Noble Phantasm. She longed for the powerful Devil Fruit he'd mentioned earlier.

Watching Jaeger chat casually with the others, Utaha clenched her pen between her teeth.

I want to bite you… I want to bite you to death!

"World Noble-kun," she muttered darkly, eyes narrowed, "you're always leaving me hanging…"

Jaeger, unbothered, sent yet another Noble Phantasm he had obtained.

[Infinite Kenshin]

Type: Conceptual Treasure (Self / Skill Assimilation)

Description:

Silvers Rayleigh—the "Dark King"—was not born with peerless talent, nor did he rely on divine lineage or supernatural blessings. Instead, he stood at the summit through experience, perception, and relentless refinement. Those who followed in his footsteps inherited not raw power, but the world's most complete understanding of the sword.

That accumulated legacy was observed and recorded by the Hand of Hermes, transmuting mastery itself into a fantasy armament.

Upon activation, Infinite Kenshin grants the user instantaneous comprehension of any sword technique witnessed, regardless of its origin—be it mortal skill, mystical art, or divine system. The technique is not merely copied, but analyzed down to its conceptual structure.

Once understood, the Treasure forcibly optimizes the technique:

eliminating inefficiencies, reinforcing its foundation, and evolving it beyond its original limitations—without altering its core identity.

[Chat Group]

Miyuki Uchiha: "Okay, I'm done! You keep shocking me every single day!"

Miyuki Uchiha: "With just this Noble Phantasm, if you were born in those manhuas, you wouldn't be a Sword Saint at all—you'd be courting death left and right."

Yamamoto Mei: "..."

Nerona Jaeger: "..."

For a moment, both Mei and Jaeger imagined him dropped into one of those manhua fantasy novels—and shuddered at the sheer cringe.

Even Jaeger wasn't ready for that level of suffering.

Luo Hao: "At a glance, you can master any sword technique and then improve it... It's the kind of power only a sword god should possess."

Jibril: "Well, it's a good thing I don't use swords."

Sakura Tosaka: "Hmm... there aren't many girls using swords in the group."

Sakura Tosaka: "But I've seen a lot of heroic spirits who use swords in the Type Moon World's memory copies. If Jaeger-nii ever comes to my world, he could definitely obtain some amazing sword techniques."

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "But in the end, swordsmanship is just an added bonus for him, isn't it?"

Miyuki Uchiha: "You're thinking too small, senpai!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Oh?"

Miyuki Uchiha: "There are many powerful sword techniques across the omniverse and boundless Chaos, especially in some high-level worlds. In fact, some of them are even stronger than Noble Phantasms! But I don't think we have any of those worlds in our group right now."

Miyuki Uchiha: "By the way, the best sword user in the group right now might be the Shinigami old hag, right?"

Sakura Tosaka: "Mei-san actually left Jaeger and went to Sky Island to find something called the lightning Logia Fruit."

Miyuki Uchiha: "She's looking for the Lightning Fruit? That woman's wishful thinking! With Light-speed Slash + Lightning Fruit, if she finds it... wouldn't she be nearly invincible?"

Nerona Jaeger: "Invincible?"

Miyuki Uchiha: "Ah... except for you, of course, Your Highness Jaeger."

Nerona Jaeger: "You really know how to kiss up."

Miyuki Uchiha: "Yamamoto Mei, don't even bother looking for the devil fruit because I'm sure you won't find it! Why not take the time to enjoy the views of another world?"

Yamamoto Mei: "[Picture] Uchiha Slut, how did you know I found the Lightning Fruit?"

Miyuki Uchiha: "Wait, what? There are so many places in the sky island in the One Piece World, but you actually found it already?"

The images in the chat group clearly showed blue fruit shaped like lightning, unmistakably related to Lightning abilities.

Sakura Tosaka: "Hmm, Mei-san really found it!"

Luo Hao: "Lightning power... Even in my world, it is a formidable force. And with the lightning Fruit's ability to transform into an Logia form, it's even more powerful."

Luo Hao: "But isn't there a weakness? The sea... Yamamoto Mei, you already have light-speed abilities. Why would you want to add a weakness like that?"

Yamamoto Mei: "Don't worry, I'll be prepared."

Yamamoto Mei: "[Exclusive Gift Box for Luo Hao]"

Tosaka Sakura: "Eh, Mei-san gave the lightning Fruit to Luo Hao-san?"

Esdeath: "What does that mean?"

Miyuki Uchiha: "Although the Lightning Fruit is strong, Luo Hao is a god-killer. Why would she need an ability with such an obvious weakness?"

Luo Hao: "...I got the Gift Box, and it's definitely the Lightning Fruit."

Luo Hao: "Yamamoto Mei, what's your game here? Did you really send this to me?"

Yamamoto Mei: "..."

On Sky Island, Mei was standing speechless, her face frozen in disbelief.

Despite the Lightning Fruit's clear weakness, it remained an immensely powerful ability in many Worlds. Did she really look like someone who would casually give away such a treasure?

Yamamoto Mei: "Including Luo Hao, have you all forgotten about the system cheat you received when you first joined the chat group?"

Esdeath: "Hmm, you mean that?"

Sakura Tosaka: "I remember... it was to enhance something, right?"

Luo Hao: "The enhancement core... I almost forgot about that ability."

Miyuki Uchiha: "Haha, it's the ability that has the chances to succeed one out of four. It's like a scam made for brain-dead people."

Tosaka Sakura: "I remember Luo Hao-san also broke the power she gained from killing a god during the enhancement process... it's really unfortunate."

Luo Hao: "...It wasn't a lucky time for me."

Luo Hao: "So Mei, what do you want? Do you want me to help you enhance the Lightning Fruit?"

Yamamoto Mei: "That's right."

Esdeath: "But the chance of failure seems pretty high. If it fails, the Devil Fruit will be completely shattered."

Yamamoto Mei: "It's fine. I can't even eat a Devil Fruit with such a glaring weakness, so it's either enhancement or nothing."

Luo Hao: "Is that so?"

--

The world of Campione.

Luo Hao stared at the blue, oddly-shaped fruit in her hand, her fingers tightening around it as she inhaled deeply. "Ying'er, bring me a basin of water!"

She needed to wash her hands before proceeding with the enhancement—no distractions, no mistakes. Yamamoto Mei had entrusted her with this, and she would not disappoint her.

"Yes, Master!" came the flustered reply, and moments later, Lu Yinghua rushed into the room, carrying the basin with an urgency that bordered on panic.

"Alright, you may leave now," Luo Hao said with a casual wave of her hand.

"Huh?" Lu Yinghua froze, his eyes wide with confusion.

He had been expecting a harsh reprimand. In the past, such a delay would have resulted in at least two broken ribs, punishment for his lack of speed.

Luo Hao's brow furrowed as she observed the dumbstruck expression on her apprentice's face. "Is something wrong? Why are you still standing here?"

"Oh, yes, Master!" Lu Yinghua snapped to attention, bowing hastily before staggering out of the room. It wasn't until he was well away from Luo Hao that he allowed himself a quiet exhale of relief.

"The master's temper is… better?" Lu Yinghua muttered, as his eyes widened with realization. "Could it be... the Master has finally reached the age of falling in love? The old, wise figure in her 200s… Could it be... love?"

Before he could further entertain his theory, the voice of Luo Hao boomed through the room.

"You little shithead!"

The sound of heavy steps reverberated through the air, and a massive, hundred-meter-tall Vajrapani Avatar descended toward him. With a powerful slap, it sent Lu Yinghua flying across the room.

"Ahhh!" he screamed in terror as he crashed into the wall. "Master! I swear I didn't mean it! I was just... joking!"

Luo Hao sighed, clearly irritated by her apprentice's unrelenting chatter, but her mind lingered on the earlier conversation.

Love? Her? After more than 200 years of existence, the idea felt foreign. She gazed into the mirror, admiring her flawless face—she didn't appear a day older than 18, the timeless beauty of a goddess.

Was she truly capable of love? The thought gnawed at her.

Her apprentice's words rang in her head again: "A woman in her 200s..." Was it possible? Could she, the Queen of the God Slayer, have desires of her own?

Shaking off the errant thoughts, Luo Hao began to consider more practical matters. Love was a distant notion for now.

She had a mission to complete. Strengthening the Devil Fruit was her priority—no distractions, no delays.

After washing her hands, Luo Hao retrieved the long-unused enhancement furnace and carefully placed the Lightning Fruit inside. It was time to put her luck to the test again.

[Congratulations! Lightning Fruit Enhancement Successful.]

A voice echoed in her mind, and her eyes lit up with surprise. It had worked. This time, the enhancement was perfect. The fruit was slightly larger, its blue hue now replaced by a deep red.

[Lightning Fruit +1] [The Lightning Fruit, enhanced, now no longer fears the sea, and the Lightning it generates burns hotter than the surface of the sun.]

Luo Hao couldn't hide her delight. Perfect. This was exactly what she needed. She promptly sent the fruit back to Yamamoto Mei with a Gift Box and shared the success in the chat group.

Luo Hao: "[Picture]"

Luo Hao: "See? This is the luck of a godslayer!"

Uchiha Miyuki: "Oh my god!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Impressive. Not only did the weakness vanish, but the heat from the Lightning is now beyond anything normal."

Erina Nakiri: "I'm not interested in fighting, but I can't help but envy you. This must be the joy of getting stronger?"

Miyuki Uchiha: "I declare that with light-speed + Lightning, the Death Violence Girl is officially the second strongest in the group!"

Esdeath: "I'm not quite there yet, but... I admit I'm a little jealous."

Luo Hao: "I still need to defeat Sun Wukong. Hopefully, I'll gain more power then."

Jibril: "Hmph, I can achieve light-speed, and I'm not certain she can outmatch me."

Yamamoto Mei: "Care to put that to the test when you get a chance?"

Jibril: "Definitely!"

Jibril: "Pity I can't kill you... but your limbs could make excellent trophies."

Erina Nakiri: "Uh... why does this suddenly feel so... grim?"

Miyuki Uchiha: "This group is full of battle maniacs. At least they're not focusing on beating up Jaeger... yet."

Erina Nakiri: "Yikes. I'm shaking over here."

Sakura Matou: "Sakura is also trembling."

Miyuki Uchiha: "Wait, Sakura-chan... why did your name change to Sakura Matou?"

Sakura Matou: "I don't know... the chat group changed it for me."

Nerona Jaeger: "I guess the plot's about to unfold, huh? The Matou family's got its sights on you, Sakura, and I suspect even the old bug man might have arrived."

Miyuki Uchiha: "Sakura-chan, run!!"

Sakura Matou: "..."
