Chapter 44 - Chapter 43: Skill Issues

Days passed in a blur.

Everyone returned to their respective worlds, resuming their daily routines.

But inside the chat group?

It was like a 24/7 cosmic internet café — where gods, devils, high school girls, and warlords all shared memes, debated power levels, and occasionally threatened each other for fun.

And as time went on…

Friendships deepened.

Yes — even Jibril, unanimously voted "Most Likely to Commit Mass Genocide Before Breakfast," somehow became… tolerable.

Why?

Two words:

Senzu Beans.

As a Flügel who could casually slaughter gods before brunch, Jibril had no shortage of raw materials — ahem — "corpses" to feed her Senzu Bean Maker.

By the end of the week?

She had mass-produced hundreds of Senzu Beans.

Then — casually, without a shred of shame — she distributed one to each group member.

Even Kasumigaoka Utaha, who lived a totally peaceful high school slice-of-life existence, held her Senzu Bean like a precious second life.

Nobody resisted.

Nobody questioned.

Thus, Jibril was officially crowned:

"Saint Jibril, Goddess of Beans."

(Unanimous vote. Even Esdeath approved.)

One Piece World — Jaeger's Throne Room

Jaeger lounged lazily on his throne, flipping through reports from Akainu and Stussy.

The South Blue was drenched in blood.

Pirates were being obliterated by the fleet.

Hundreds of pregnant women had been captured — yet still no trace of Roger's wife.

Naturally, Jaeger wasn't surprised.

He'd already told Stussy exactly where Rouge was hiding.

On a peaceful island.

Watching helplessly as innocent women were dragged away in her place.

Jaeger grinned.

"Ah… how touching. Forced kidnapping is one thing… but breaking a righteous heart? That's a rare flavor."

He stretched, rolling his shoulders.

It was nearly time for him to visit the South Blue personally.

And after that?

Wano was next.

He still had another chance to trigger a mission related to Wano Country.

Three random members would be summoned again — and Jaeger was curious who the unlucky winners would be.

"Hmm… chat group missions…"

A sudden thought froze him.

Jaeger snapped into the chat group.

[Chat Group]

Nerona Jaeger: "Did we forget the lottery draws from the [Revenge on Rock Hidden Village] mission?"

A long silence filled the chat.

Uchiha Miyuki: "…"

Luo Hao: "Well… I did forget."

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Right… we were distracted when Jibril and Erina joined."

Esdeath: "Let's start. I'm curious what kind of reward you all get."

Esdeath, bored out of her mind, crossed her legs elegantly and rested her cheek on her palm — finally finding entertainment.

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "I'll go first."

She spent her single draw.

[Congratulations! Utaha has drawn the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan!]

[Random Eye Technique Obtained: Kamui]

The group detonated.

Yamamoto Mei: "WHAT kind of luck is that?!"

Esdeath: "An Eternal Mangekyō… even better than Miyuki's?"

Uchiha Miyuki: "UNFAIR!! Why do beauties always get special treatment?! And she gets Obito's Kamui?! That's offense and defense both!!!"

Uchiha Miyuki: "Kamui is SPACE-TIME manipulation! You can literally yeet yourself into another dimension! I WANT IT!"

Jibril: "A spatial ability…? Interesting. I'd like to compare it to my own magic."

Luo Hao: "Congratulations, girl. Now you can finally defend yourself."

Tohsaka Sakura: "Congrats, Utaha-senpai!"

Erina Nakiri: "Congratulations."

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Thank you. And especially Luo Hao-san and World Noble-kun. If not for the two of you, I would never have gotten this task reward."

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Really… thank you."

Slice-of-Life World — Utaha's Room

Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.

No blindness.

Minimal energy consumption.

Stronger Susanoo.

In the Naruto world, this pair of eyes was priceless.

Utaha stood before her mirror.

Her already ruby-like eyes glowed even brighter — the Eternal Mangekyō pattern adding an exotic, dangerous charm.

Regardless of combat usefulness…

Her beauty stats had definitely gone up.

"Kamui."

She activated it — pulling a nearby book into the void.

It worked flawlessly.

But—

As the space distorted, her legs instantly went numb.

She dropped onto the floor.

"So it's physical stamina… not chakra…"

Unlike the others, Utaha did not train.

She was a novelist.

A sedentary high school girl.

Her body had the endurance of a sleepy cat.

One technique drained her completely.

She sighed.

"I guess I can only rely on that Devil Fruit Jaeger-kun mentioned…"

But then she remembered Jaeger casually saying:

"You'll have to fight in bed for ten days and nights straight."

Her face exploded red.

Utaha pressed her palms to her cheeks, heart racing.

She wasn't naïve.

Jaeger wasn't a wholesome light-novel protagonist.

If she asked him for help, she knew the "price" she would pay.

And…

She didn't actually dislike that thought.

Back in the Chat Group

Thanks to Utaha's jackpot win, the atmosphere grew electrified.

Luo Hao: "Excellent! My turn! Witness the luck of a Godslayer!"

The martial arts empress lifted her chin proudly.

She didn't care much for common Naruto abilities.

But the high-tier ones?

The divine eyes?

The mythical jutsu?

Of course she expected greatness.

She spent all three draws at once.

[Congratulations! Luo Hao has drawn: Fire Style — Fireball Jutsu!]

[Congratulations! Luo Hao has drawn: Water Style — Water Dragon Jutsu!]

[Congratulations! Luo Hao has drawn: Earth Style — Earth Dragon Bullet!]

Silence.

Complete, absolute silence.

Not even Miyuki dared to type "LOL."

Luo Hao: "???"

Luo Hao: "…When I spam question marks, it means YOU have the problem. Not me."

Luo Hao: "System… are you targeting me? ME?The GREAT GODSLAYER?!"
