Miyuki Uchiha: "Pfft—"
Miyuki Uchiha: "I'm sorry, Luo Hao-sama, I know I shouldn't laugh… but I seriously can't help it!"
Yamamoto Mei: "Honestly, the three ninjutsu you pulled aren't weak… but against a godslayer, they're completely useless. This luck is just…"
Jibril: "Oh my, is this what a godslayer draws? How embarrassing. If it were a Flugel drawing, this would never happen."
Tohsaka Sakura: "I feel kind of bad for Luo Hao-san~"
Luo Hao: "Hmph! Even low-level ninjutsu becomes devastating when wielded by me!"
Despite Luo Hao's prideful declaration, everyone understood the truth:
Her luck had betrayed her again.
Ever since she obtained the "Enhancement Core" from the chat group, fate had been flipping her upside down repeatedly.
Fortunately, these were friends who teased with affection, not spite.
Still… Luo Hao's cheeks flushed red. Deep down she truly believed a Godslayer's luck should be legendary.
Yet reality slapped her harder than she wanted to admit.
No way she was going to bear this humiliation alone — not when she could redirect it to the proper target.
Luo Hao: "@Jaeger — It's your turn to draw, isn't it? Hurry up. I want to see you pull something good."
Nerona Jaeger: "Yeah."
Frankly speaking, in the vast world of Naruto, there were only a handful of things Jaeger genuinely cared about:
The Rinnegan, the Rinne Sharingan, and the divine powers of the Otsutsuki.
If he pulled something like that — great.
If not?
He wasn't worried.
His arsenal of Noble Phantasms already put him at the pinnacle.
[Congratulations! Group member Nerona Jaeger has drawn: Eight Inner Gates!]
[Congratulations! Group member Nerona Jaeger has drawn: Senju Clan's Sage Body!]
[Congratulations! Group member Nerona Jaeger has drawn: Senju Clan's Sage Body!]
[Duplicate detected — merging…]
[Congratulations! Enhanced Senju Sage Body acquired!]
Yamamoto Mei: "…Excuse me, what?!"
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Ara ara… an enhanced Sage Body?"
Esdeath: "Looks like you've become even stronger."
Miyuki Uchiha: "No way! This isn't scientifically possible!"
Miyuki Uchiha: "Eight Inner Gates aside — whatever — but an enhanced Senju Body?!"
Miyuki Uchiha: "If I had even Hashirama's version, I could flatten the entire ninja world by myself!"
Luo Hao: "This luck… I'm shutting myself away for real…"
Luo Hao clenched her chin hard.
She wanted Jaeger to pull trash so she could laugh at him, but instead…
He pulled god-tier rewards again.
"Arghh, this is so unfair!" Luo Hao groaned.
Her beautiful face scrunched up — then brightened as she remembered something.
Luo Hao: "Still, it seems Jaeger's days of low stamina are finally over."
Nerona Jaeger: "...."
Nerona Jaeger: "So my weak stamina is officially my embarrassing past now?"
Tohsaka Sakura: "Congratulations, Jaeger-nii! You'll finally be able to unleash your Noble Phantasms without collapsing from exhaustion!"
Nerona Jaeger: "…Sakura-chan, thanks… although you somehow made it worse."
Jibril: "Pfft—wait, your weakness was really stamina?"
Nerona Jaeger: "You'll find out exactly how much staying power I have when we fight. I promise you'll get a 'taste' of it too."
Jibril: "Fufu, I'm looking forward to it. Your blood must be especially sweet."
Jibril: "Don't worry — I'll even prepare a hundred Senzu Beans. We can keep fighting… forever."
Erina Nakiri: "...…"
Erina Nakiri: "Honestly, it sounds less like you two want to fight… and more like you're flirting."
Jaeger chuckled to himself.
He really did enjoy sparring with Miyuki and Jibril.
Lively, energetic, never boring.
Of course… that didn't mean he wouldn't give them a proper lesson in love later.
Jaeger opened his reward window.
Eight Inner Gates.
Enhanced Senju Sage Body.
The Eight Gates weren't especially valuable to him.
With Hercules Belt, he already had more than enough speed and strength.
Still… extra skills never hurt.
And with an enhanced Sage Body, the usual self-destruction side effects were irrelevant.
"Alright… let's fuse them."
Jaeger accepted the rewards.
BOOOM—
Vitality erupted from his body like a living storm.
Trees and vines burst upward, roots tearing through marble floors, climbing toward the palace ceiling.
"What monstrous vitality…"
Jaeger stared at his hands, feeling the overwhelming life force coursing through every nerve.
His physical strength had multiplied —
Not by a little.
By twenty to thirty times.
Deep wounds would heal instantly.
Lost limbs could probably regrow within minutes.
Natural energy flowed into him involuntarily, strengthening him without effort.
"Zhnng—"
Jaeger focused, and a black, box-shaped armor formed over his right arm.
Not steel.
Armament Haki.
But not ordinary Haki… it was dense, pitch-black, almost reminiscent of Katakuri's terrifying hardening that made even Gear 4 Luffy flinch.
This draw…
Was beyond worth it.
It was evolution.
A revolution.
Riding aboard the opulent Celestial Dragon ship, Jaeger sailed toward the South Sea.
On the way, he made three calls.
First: to Akainu — ordering him to intercept Silvers Rayleigh and Garp.
Second: to Stussy — telling her to continue monitoring Portgas D. Rouge.
Third: to Morgans.
Buru buru…
Click.
Morgans: "Saint Jaeger! To what do I owe the pleasure of someone like you calling me?"
Despite Jaeger killing his news birds repeatedly, Morgans still spoke with absolute respect.
Jaeger: "Of course it's something interesting."
In a very good mood, Jaeger didn't bother hiding anything.
Jaeger: "You know the Navy is searching for Roger's pregnant wife in the South Sea, right?"
Morgans: "Everyone knows. A movement that big can't be hidden. Even the Golden Lion is heading south."
Jaeger scoffed softly.
Jaeger: "The Golden Lion doesn't matter. He's small fry. Anyway, here's what I'm planning — I want you to broadcast the whole thing live."
Taking a cold glass of juice from a maid, Jaeger's voice softened — almost benevolent.
Jaeger: "I got a new toy. I want to test its power."
Jaeger: "Portgas D. Rouge is just a side objective. But unless she shows up and kneels at my feet…"
His smile widened.
Jaeger: "…I'll erase an entire island in the South Sea."
Jaeger: "I want the world to understand — there are no happy endings for pirates."
Jaeger: "No matter how strong you are… no matter how 'pure' you act…"
Jaeger: "I'll kill you."
His tone stayed gentle.
"And then I'll thoroughly bully your family and children."
His smile didn't fade as he continued. "This world doesn't need a Pirate King."
"It needs only one master…"
"The Celestial Dragon — Nerona Jaeger."
