Chapter 61: The Newcomer

[Page 1/3]
[Wanting to Hug Luo Feng's Thigh: It's a Golden-Haired Giant Ape! Not a common ape! Transforming after eating a Devil Fruit is indeed powerful; I estimate the transformed state is roughly around the level of an Initial-Level Warlord.]
[Wanting to Hug Luo Feng's Thigh: It's just that I wanted to keep the transformation ability as my trump card, and as a Zoan-type user, my physical constitution has already been enhanced. I wanted to see if I could pass the examination without transforming.]
[Zhang Sanfeng: Little friend "Wanting to Hug Luo Feng's Thigh" need not be discouraged. You must remember the principle of perseverance through trials: as heaven maintains its vigor through movement, a gentleman should unceasingly strive for self-improvement.]
[Wanting to Hug Luo Feng's Thigh: Sob, sob, thank you for your guidance, Immortal.]
[Tony Stark: Well, well, friends, your most popular Mr. Stark is back!]
[Wanting to Hug Luo Feng's Thigh: Oh, it's you. Speaking of which, the big shot Borsalino hasn't appeared for a long time either...]
[Tony Stark: Are you asking about Borsalino? That guy didn't even bother to notify me when he left!]
[Fubuki: @Tony Stark, the bag is great, but please don't put your autographed photo inside it!]
[Ai Haibara: What autographed photo? That guy put his own autographed photo in the bag?]
[Fubuki: Didn't you open it to check? This is the first time I've ever seen such a narcissistic fellow!]
[Ai Haibara: No, I was still in class when I received the bag, and then I was dragged away by a few idiots to play detective games...]
[Tony Stark: Why? Could it be that you haven't realized how charming I am?]
[Wanting to Hug Luo Feng's Thigh: Ahem, wealthy is a fact; as for charm... well, that's in the eye of the beholder. Tony, you're from a three-dimensional world, I suggest you don't try to compete in looks with two-dimensional characters.]
[Ai Haibara: A friendly reminder, although my actual age and psychological age are both adult, my current body is still that of an elementary school student. Pedophilia is a crime!]
[Tony Stark: How could you possibly be an elementary school student? Don't try to fool me. Little Tony would never lie; it tells me you're at least eighteen and have a great figure!]
[Borsalino: @Tony Stark Apologies, haha. You hadn't woken up yet when I left. By the way, the pool party was fantastic. I'll invite you to the Pleasures District's float parade next time if there's a chance.]
[Wanting to Hug Luo Feng's Thigh: Holy crap, Big Shot Borsalino! Clings tightly to the thigh.jpg]
[Wanting to Hug Luo Feng's Thigh: Big Shot, I want to attend the pool party too! I want to go to the Pleasures District as well! Please make sure to count me in!]
[Ai Haibara: A bunch of perverts...]
[Tony Stark: I'm looking forward to it. Beauties from another world, eh? Tell me, they won't all be two or three meters tall like you, right?]
[Borsalino: No, most people's height is about the same as yours. Of course, there are special cases like the Tontattas and the Giants.]

[Tony Stark: Wow, like the Lilliput and Brobdingnag from Gulliver's Travels?]
[Ai Haibara: Although I haven't seen Borsalino's world, obviously it's not the case. Gulliver's Travels doesn't have magical things like Devil Fruits.]
[Tony Stark: Truly something to look forward to. Once my Iron Man suit is finished, I must definitely visit your world to check it out!]
[Ding, welcome Esdeath to the Dimensional Chat Group!]
[Just as everyone was chatting idly, a large notification suddenly popped up in the chat group.]
[Meanwhile, in another world.]
[Standing tall within a fortress surrounded by ice and snow, a female general named Esdeath sat proudly upon a throne of ice, resting her chin on one hand as she expressionlessly looked down at the strange phenomenon that had suddenly appeared before her.]
[She possessed long, knee-length, sky-blue hair and wore a pure white military-style miniskirt and knee-high boots. Despite being in such an extremely cold region, she showed not the slightest sign of feeling the chill.]
[What is this? Are you still trying to resist?]
[Esdeath spoke very coldly. Kneeling before her—or rather, at her feet—were the officers of the former Northern Fortress.]
[Due to the rebellion of the northern tribes, the Empire had dispatched Esdeath to the Northern Fortress to suppress the foreign peoples.]
[Having just arrived at the fortress, Esdeath had not hesitated to ruthlessly strike, executing a batch of officers who had failed to suppress the rebellion effectively. Before she could even draft the remaining survivors into her service, a strange rectangular frame materialized before her eyes.]
[Considering that she had just slaughtered a batch of fortress officers, Esdeath had every reason to suspect that this gadget was a trick pulled by those remaining unsatisfied fellows.]
[To think that there were still people daring to resist after witnessing her strength and methods!]
[Far from being angry, Esdeath actually wanted to root that person out and properly discipline them with a leather whip and various instruments of torture.]
[Spare us, General!]
[We'll never dare to do it again!]
[Don't kill me...]
[...[
[Seeing the smile bloom on Esdeath's face, the surviving officers were nearly frightened out of their wits, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing incessantly.]
[In less than a day, they had been terrified into utter submission by this newly arrived imperial general. No matter what kind of backing they had behind them, no matter what meritorious service they had previously achieved—even a veteran subordinate who had once fought under Esdeath's command had been executed without a shred of mercy.]

[The officers had not failed to try resisting, but in front of General Esdeath, any form of resistance was entirely futile.]
[Dozens of renowned northern swordsmen and mercenaries had proven as fragile as paper before her, and hundreds of heavily armed elite soldiers had been easily routed by her hand.]
[The more they resisted, the more profoundly they experienced the true meaning of despair!]
[Esdeath actually hoped their resistance would be a bit more fierce; slaughtering them would be all the more exhilarating that way.]
[Lord Esdeath, what are you referring to...?]
[Seeing General Esdeath's gaze gradually turn impatient, the officers groveling on the ground began to tremble violently. Finally sensing that something was amiss, Liver asked in a hushed voice.]
[Liver, a former general of the empire who had fallen to the status of a prisoner after offending the Prime Minister, became Esdeath's most loyal follower after being rescued by her.]
[He was now one of Esdeath's Three Beasts, wielding the Teigu known as "Demon Extract's water dragon adaptation: Black Marlin."]
[Can you not see it? It's this thing...]
[Esdeath's eyebrows arched slightly. Upon receiving her subordinates' negative answers, she instead grew even more interested in the virtual rectangular frame before her.]
[Kobayashi: Hello! Welcome, newcomer! This is the Dimensional Chat Group. You can try speaking in the group using your voice, text, or even your thoughts.]
[Tony Stark: Ha, was that what it was like when I joined the group?]
[Ai Haibara: You didn't say a word for the longest time when you joined, we all thought you were dead!]
[Fubuki: Ai-chan, don't talk to a pervert who harbors thoughts about elementary school students!]
[Tony Stark: I already said she's definitely not an elementary school student!]
[Wanting to Hug Luo Feng's Thigh: Holy crap! Esdeath!]
[Ai Haibara: As expected of Watchdog Man, recognizing the newcomer's identity so quickly.]
