Chapter 283 - 284: Allies

[Kizaru: @Orochimaru How's the research going on making humans travel across different worlds through the chat group?]

[Random trying to cling to Luo Feng's thigh: Whoa! Kizaru-sama finally showed up, I thought you'd stopped chatting in the group for good!]

[Tony Stark: @Kizaru Jurassic Park is about to open soon, are you interested in visiting? I'll prepare the wildest pool party—once you come, you won't ever want to leave.]

[Ai Haibara: You're really going to open it…? Last time you said your dinosaur source was being investigated by that SHIELD or whatever.]

[Tony Stark: Whoa, why would you think I care about so-called SHIELD? That annoying one-eyed bastard! Self-righteous idiot! Even in my next life he won't find a single secret from me!]

[Kobayashi: Going to Jurassic Park to see dinosaurs… sounds kinda fun…]

[Random trying to cling to Luo Feng's thigh: Don't you already have dragons at home? Why would you want to see dinosaurs?]

[Kobayashi: Just because I have Tohru doesn't mean I can't want to see dinosaurs! It's childhood nostalgia!]

[Orochimaru: Hmm, unfortunately, I still haven't figured out why Devil Fruits can bypass the chat group's mechanism, but I can now provide a new service.]

[Orochimaru: From now on, the combat power you can hire won't be limited to the snakes of Ryuchi Cave. I've prepared a batch of scrolls sealed with the Edo Tensei technique…]

[Random trying to cling to Luo Feng's thigh: Wait… Orochimaru-sama, you don't mean to Edo Tensei the past Hokage to fight for us, do you?]

[Orochimaru: Of course not. No matter what, I am the Fourth Hokage of Konoha—how could I desecrate my predecessors like that?]

[Random trying to cling to Luo Feng's thigh: Heh…]

[Orochimaru: What I've prepared are past Kage from other villages. Due to limitations of intel and time, the ones available now are only the Second Tsuchikage from Iwagakure and the Second Mizukage from Kirigakure.]

[Orochimaru: My intel agents are working on locating other Kage tombs as quickly as possible. Aside from that, there are also some excellent ninja who were strong in life. With Edo Tensei bodies, they'll definitely be valuable assets.]

[Kizaru: Sounds good. Then I'll reserve those Edo Tensei fighters first.]

[Orochimaru: Edo ninjas won't disappoint you, but why do you need so many of them—are you preparing to go to war with someone?]

[Kizaru: That's right. After all this planning, I have to be fully prepared. If you guys are interested, you can join in the fun too. Each participant gets 1,000 dimensional coins as payment, how about it?]

[Random trying to cling to Luo Feng's thigh: Holy crap?! Kizaru-sama's going to war? Big Mom? Kaido? If even someone like you needs backup… don't tell me it's against the World Government?!]

[Kizaru: Bingo. So, anyone interested in earning some extra cash?]

[Jotaro Kujo: Sorry, I can't get away right now…]

[Random trying to cling to Luo Feng's thigh: Uh… with my strength I'd probably just drag everyone down…]

[Esdeath: Count me in! Playing cat and mouse with those Revolutionary Army rats all day is boring me to death!]

[Kizaru: Sure. Anyone else want to come? Don't worry about running into enemies that are too strong—just treat it as a group activity. If a real threat shows up, someone else will hold them off.]

[Esdeath: What's the fun if the enemies aren't strong? Let me make it clear first—no one's allowed to steal my opponents!]

[Random trying to cling to Luo Feng's thigh: Then I'll join too. I can't fight others, but I can beat up ten Celestial Dragons no problem!]

[Orochimaru: Sounds like you're confident. I won't be joining, I've still got unfinished research. I'll get you the Edo Tensei scrolls and the mediums soon enough.]

[Orochimaru: But you'll have to prepare the Edo vessels yourself. To unravel the mystery of Devil Fruits, I've gone through nearly all my experimental subjects. The rest, I need to save…]

[Kamado Tanjiro: Um… excuse me, are you all planning to go to Mr. Kizaru's world?]

[Kizaru: Oh, right! Tanjiro, long time no see. Did you pass the test to become a swordsman yet?]

[Tanjirou Kamado: Ah! Yes! I'm already a Demon Slayer swordsman now! Please take care of me!]

[Kizaru: Don't be so nervous. If you're interested and have the time, you can also come join in and broaden your horizons. Anyway, you'll have plenty of chances to visit other worlds in the future.]

[Tony Stark: Sounds like something big is coming? Well, my dearest friend, have you considered purchasing a batch of high-quality weapons? Stark Industries has everything from bullets to missiles, from all sorts of firearms to tanks and artillery…]

[Kizaru: Not necessary for now. The coming war won't leave any room for small fry.]

[Kizaru: Maybe when Stark Industries can mass-produce space carriers… mm, or when you manage to bring down the cost of the Iron Man suits, I'll consider a large-scale purchase.]

[Hermione Granger: Everyone, I'd like to know—how safe is it to travel to other worlds? If you encounter danger, can you return directly?]

[Random guy hoping to cling to Luo Feng: That's a bit hard to say. Every group member's world is different. If you're talking about Admiral Kizaru's world, then for someone like you right now, it's pretty dangerous.]

[Fubuki: @Kizaru Send me a Zoan Devil Fruit. My sister and I are planning to come to your world.]

[Kizaru: No problem, I happen to have a Zoan on hand.]

[Orochimaru: If you have extra Zoan Fruits, share a few with me too. I need more material and references for my research.]

[Kizaru: Sure, I've got three Zoans. The other two are yours.]

[Xiao Mei: Um… may I also exchange for a Devil Fruit? It's for my cousin Xiao Yan…]

[Kizaru: Of course, is it also a Zoan you want?]

[Xiao Mei: Yes, Cousin Xiao Yan said he wants to go to other worlds and broaden his horizons too.]

[Random guy hoping to cling to Luo Feng: Damn, Xiao Yan eating a Devil Fruit? That's a path I never imagined… too bad it's not the Mera Mera no Mi, or else it'd really feel just right!]

[Kizaru: The Mera Mera no Mi, huh. I'll keep an eye out. After the Marineford War, Whitebeard's remnants went into hiding. Finding them won't be easy.]

[Random guy hoping to cling to Luo Feng: Huh? Isn't the Mera Mera no Mi in Doflamingo's hands? Crap, I almost forgot Ace is still alive… Wait, if we got Ace, Luffy, and Sabo together for a signed group photo…]

[Kizaru: Mm, that might be a bit hard. How about I get Kuzan and Sakazuki to take one together for you instead?]

[Random guy hoping to cling to Luo Feng: Love it! Long live Admiral Kizaru!]

[Ai Haibara: @Hermione Granger @Xiao Mei If you're going to Kizaru's world, you'd better find someone in the group you can call on for help at any time.]

[Ai Haibara: Those so-called 'pets' over there might just be terrifying monsters like Tyrannosaurs!]

[Kizaru: Hahaha, looks like Vivienne left quite an impression on you.]

[Fubuki: Who's Vivienne?]

[Random guy hoping to cling to Luo Feng: That's the giantess under Admiral Kizaru's command. I still remember during the Marineford War, that lady swinging her giant blade around—she was absolutely fierce!]

[Fubuki: Oh, it's her. Then it's fine.]

[Kizaru: So, the ones coming over are just Esdeath, The Idiot, Fubuki and Tatsumaki, plus Xiao Mei and Xiao Yan?]

[Kizaru: Tanjirou, do you want to come broaden your horizons too? There'll always be demons to slay, but scenes like this aren't something you get to see often.]

[Tanjirou Kamado: Yes! Thank you very much! But I must continue my training! I absolutely cannot let Sabito and Makomo down!]

Even across worlds, Kizaru instinctively rubbed his ear, as if someone had just shouted right beside him, leaving him with a bit of ringing.

But since Tanjirou politely declined, Kizaru didn't push it. Originally, he just wanted to use this opportunity to build some rapport with him.

The Demon Slayer breathing techniques and swordsmanship meant little to Kizaru, but those demons who feared sunlight and preyed on humans held much more research value.

Kizaru himself wouldn't be able to figure much out, but Vegapunk and Orochimaru in the dimensional chat group would surely be interested.

'Buru buru, buru buru…'

Just as Kizaru was greeting the people in the chat group and preparing to arrange more surprises for the Five Elders, one of the dedicated phone lines in the office suddenly rang.

Nami and Reiju, who had originally moved to the corner to whisper so as not to disturb Kizaru once they saw him start "thinking," immediately turned their heads at the same time.

Both pairs of beautiful eyes carried an unfriendly gleam. It was obvious they knew who was on the other end of that line.

Kizaru couldn't help but give a dry laugh, torn over whether or not to answer at this moment.

Although the Marshal in question had countless scumbag tendencies, answering while under the contemptuous stares of two beautiful women was still a bit of pressure.

But the person on the other end seemed certain Kizaru would eventually pick up. The "ringing" went on and on until even the Den Den Mushi itself wore an aggrieved expression, forcing Kizaru to bite the bullet and answer it.

"Hmph!"

Nami and Reiju both let out cold snorts in perfect unison, their tacit understanding so sharp that it made Kizaru's scalp tingle.

For Nami, she actually didn't care too much if more girls appeared around Kizaru—or rather, she had long since grown numb to it. If she really bothered to get jealous every time, with the revolving door of women around him, it would exhaust her to death.

The only condition was that these girls couldn't pose a "threat" to her or to Gion. Otherwise, Nami had no problem showing hostility.

As for Reiju, she still hadn't recognized Kizaru's true nature. Even after hearing Nami recount his many "glorious deeds," she still clung to unrealistic fantasies.

So whenever another woman appeared by Kizaru's side, Reiju would instinctively show her displeasure.
