"Yo! Morning, everyone! How's it going lately?"
The moment Pirate Renzo stepped out of the dimensional gate, he spotted everyone already gathered there. He immediately waved with a big grin on his face.
"Holy crap!"
Demon Slayer Renzo practically leapt at him. "You finally showed up, you bastard! Let's see what the hell you've been up to!"
Smack!
A hand landed right on Pirate Renzo's shoulder, instantly activating the sharing ability.
"Huh?"
Demon Slayer blinked as he processed the new memories, then stared at Pirate Renzo in surprise. "Damn, you actually killed Enel, got the Rumble-Rumble Fruit (Goro Goro no Mi), and even finished analyzing it already?"
"Then why didn't you make a perfect version and eat it?" he asked, puzzled.
"What? You got the Rumble-Rumble Fruit and cracked it already? Let me see!"
That got everyone's attention. They all rushed over, hands outstretched to touch Pirate Renzo, surrounding him like he was Eevee, a fluffy Pokémon.
There was no escape—he got completely groped.
Only after everyone finished memory-sharing were they satisfied enough to head back to their seats and start digesting the info.
Pirate Renzo found a seat and quickly absorbed the group's recent updates.
Then he suddenly turned to Eevee, wide-eyed. "Wait, Eevee! You already figured out how to transform into a human?! Why haven't you tried it yet?"
"Hehe~" Eevee lifted its chin proudly. "I wanted to tell everyone together first! I'll show Cynthia once I'm back. Hopefully, she won't be too shocked!"
But deep down, Eevee was still nervous.
What if, after turning into a human, Cynthia started to feel distant?
"You dummy,"
Pirate Renzo immediately caught on to Eevee's concern and sighed. "You're already at the final step, and you're gonna chicken out now? You've got to take that leap! Worst case, just cling to her until she acknowledges you again!"
"Yeah… I guess you're right," Eevee forced a smile.
He said that, but it clearly didn't erase his doubts. Still, he wasn't planning to back down. Once he got back, he'd have a proper talk with Cynthia.
No matter what, Cynthia was his.
Worst-case scenario, he'd just tell her the truth—that he was originally human, died in an accident, and somehow got reincarnated as an Eevee.
That'd be easier for her to accept… probably?
"Anyway, what about you?"
Eevee changed the subject. "Why didn't you make a perfect version of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit? Not enough mental energy?"
"Bingo! And you already knew that, so why ask?"
Pirate Renzo shrugged. "I tried after analyzing it. I could use up about 90% of my mental energy to make a normal version, but if I want to get rid of all the flaws, I need way more."
"I'm thinking of doing what Aizen did—store up my excess mental power over time and take it slow."
"But actually, the best thing I got this time was figuring out how my domain can capture the Devil Fruit from people after they die."
"That's gonna make collecting Devil Fruits way easier."
Instead of hunting for fruits randomly, it's way more efficient to just take them off dead users.
"No kidding,"
Aizen adjusted his glasses with a smile. "There's still a lot of potential to tap in Takamagahara. I mean, you can literally rewrite the rules inside your domain—like blocking Logia users from turning into elements! That's a huge deal."
"I've been wondering—what if I could shut down Quincy bloodline powers, or a Shinigami's Shikai and Bankai too? If I can pull that off… damn, that's OP."
Gundam Renzo laughed and chimed in, "It should be possible! But based on how Fairy Tail Renzo's fight with Hades went, stuff like the opponent's strength and the domain's level affects how well and how long those rule changes work."
"So we all better keep learning more about the supernatural powers from our own worlds. The more we understand, the stronger we can make Takamagahara's domain!"
You can't override someone else's rules unless your own rules are stronger.
Aizen nodded in agreement. "Makes sense. Once I'm done analyzing Reiatsu, I'll shift some focus to mastering more Shinigami techniques, Quincy powers, and even Hollow abilities. We've gotta dive deeper into our world's power system."
"Great idea!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Then Demon Slayer Renzo suddenly said, "Pirate, you finally got your hands on the Six Powers, right? I bet they'll help me come up with a new breathing technique! My Ripple Breathing might be ready soon, haha!"
"Huh? Looking forward to that!"
Pirate Renzo laughed, then added, "Actually, I think the Six Powers are really useful, especially Life Return! It helps you control your body way better, boosts digestion, and speeds up physical training."
"And it helps patch up our weaknesses!"
Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone all the way to Water 7 just to mess with CP.
"Life Return's super helpful!" Swordsman Renzo smiled. "At the very least, it'll speed up my women's training. I was really worried about how slow their digestion was."
"Speaking of Six Powers," Uchiha Renzo suddenly looked at Pirate Renzo with a deadpan face. "Can you not run around pretending to be Madara? I should start charging you licensing fees!"
"Madara is from my Uchiha clan after all."
"Ahaha…"
Pirate Renzo scratched his head. "I gave your clan a dimensional reputation!"
"And I couldn't risk blowing my cover and getting dragged into being a pirate! I was this close to pretending to be you, but if I used your name—Uchiha Renzo—it would've totally exposed me! So, yeah... calling myself Boss Madara was the only move I had left!"
"Way better to stay a cool bounty hunter."
"Once I've set up everything, I'll flip the whole World Government and the Celestial Dragons, and become the real mastermind boss! Hehehe!"
I mean, that's what Imu-sama did, right?
He'll just take Imu's place and recruit some tools to build a new power system.
The Navy doesn't even need a total revamp—just clear out the trash and clean up the rules a bit. Plenty of Marines still believe in justice and peace.
"And that's your excuse for trashing my clan name?! You've got some nerve! Why not use someone else's face? Or do you admit I'm the best-looking of all of us? That's why you chose my face first?" Uchiha Renzo grinned as he stroked his chin.
"Pfft."
Everyone rolled their eyes.
"Lame!"
"Narcissist!"
"Shameless!"
"I'm the hottest one here!"
"Umm... excuse me? Can someone tell me where I am?"
A timid voice came from one of the gates.
Everyone turned toward the sound.
Standing there was a totally average-looking teenager—probably sixteen or seventeen—except for a decent-looking face. He looked nervous, glancing around at all of them.
"Oh? Another newbie?"
"Welcome, newbie! Though you kinda look like a side character…"
"Hey, what world are you from?" Pirate Renzo asked while sizing him up.
"Huh?"
The newbie froze, looking confused. "Wait... what? Are you guys all transmigrators?"
"Ugh, why does this happen every time?" Eevee groaned. "Can't we give the newbies a crash course or something?"
"You think this is a game system or something?" Apocalypse Renzo rolled his eyes.
"Forget the chatter! Just gimme your hand and you'll understand everything! We're not bad guys, promise! I'll be gentle~" Hentai Renzo said with a creepy smile as he walked over.
"Wha–?"
The newbie's eyes widened in panic. He got a really bad feeling and instinctively tried to run.
But without sharing abilities, he was no match for Hentai Renzo's speed.
Smack!
A hand landed on his shoulder.
Memory transfer: complete.
While the newbie stood frozen, overwhelmed by the flood of new memories and powers, Hentai Renzo raised an eyebrow in surprise.
"Oh? That world, huh? It's kinda basic, but still pretty interesting!"
"At the very least, I can level up my cooking skills. That means another way to charm the ladies!"
"Jackpot!"
