Chapter 49 - "Tailor-Made: Esdeath Finds Her Ideal"

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The world of Akame ga Kill.Western battlefield.

"We're so terribly sorry, Lady Esdeath!"

Liwa of the Three Beasts dropped to his knees, trembling.

"It's our incompetence, my lady!"

Daidas slammed his head against the ground.

"To think we'd lose to such lowly thieves… next time, we won't fail again!"

Nyau's face twisted with rage.

Esdeath's cold, amused voice cut through their groveling.

"What pathetic subordinates. You lost, which means you're weak. The strong devour the weak — that's how the world works."

Then, with a sigh that was almost a smile, she continued:

"Still… you're alive. That means you've got another chance. Don't waste it — train harder. Next time, I expect victory."

"Yes, Lady Esdeath! We'll make sure you're not disappointed again! We'll bring you those filthy rebels' heads ourselves!"

Liwa bent forward and kissed the tip of her boot in submission.

Esdeath chuckled softly.

"Good. Now, get up. It's time we returned to the Capital."

Her lips curved in satisfaction.

"Tatsumi… what an interesting man."

Meanwhile, across countless worlds, people were still mourning the death of the heroic Braht.

But on the divine projection screen that linked all realms, the footage rolled on.

After losing three of her best subordinates, a new Imperial Teigu squad appeared — led by none other than General Esdeath herself.

...

In the world of One Piece — aboard the Thousand Sunny:

"A new squad led by the Empire's strongest witch, General Esdeath, huh? Definitely built to take down Night Raid… this could get messy,"Franky muttered, brow furrowed.

"That kid with the country bumpkin outfit — Wave, right? He kinda gives off the same vibe as Tatsumi. Doesn't seem like a bad guy,"Usopp added.

"And that scary-looking dude with the mask? Turns out he's actually a sweetheart. Though, uh… calling their unit the 'Burning Squad' doesn't exactly sound comforting,"Nami said, frowning.

"That guy Ran's probably a scholar. I can tell — he's got good eyes,"Robin said calmly.

"Black hair, twintails, sailor uniform, thigh-highs… Akame's little sister, Kurome, is adorable!"Sanji's eyes turned into hearts as he spun around in delight.

"And she even looks kinda like Akame-chan!"

...

At the Revolutionary Army Headquarters, Baltigo:

"Dragon, what do you think of these Imperial Teigu users? They don't seem like pure villains to me,"Belo Betty asked, raising a brow.

"Night Raid and the Hunters… revolution and empire. It's not about right or wrong — just conflicting ideals. This is a war of conviction,"Dragon replied quietly.

"So, all six members of the Hunters have been revealed. The only one left is their commander — that 'Witch General' Esdeath. Who is she, really?"Sabo murmured, pushing down the brim of his hat.

At last, the moment everyone had been waiting for—The legendary "Witch General" Esdeath made her first appearance on-screen.

And when she did… every man across the multiverse went silent.

The bringer of chaos and war turned out to be a breathtakingly beautiful woman — a cold, commanding goddess.

And just like that, countless gentlemen from countless worlds defected.

Beauty is justice.

Her poise, her strength, her sheer dominance — Esdeath instantly won herself an army of admirers.

Power is irresistible.

"Miss Esdeath is incredible! She's exactly my type!""Ah~ My Queen! Please step on me!""Now I finally understand why General Liver worshiped her like a goddess!""She's gorgeous, powerful, and even cares for her subordinates — who wouldn't fall for her?""Sure, she's brutal… but it's war. Can you blame her?"

The multiverse buzzed with excitement.

...

In the world of Chainsaw Man:

Denji lay on the couch, staring blankly at the ceiling.

"Ah… sorry, Miss Makima. I don't just wanna be your dog… I kinda wanna be Miss Esdeath's dog too."

Makima smiled sweetly.

"Hmm? What was that, Denji-kun?"

"N-nothing! Arf! Arf!"

Meanwhile, gentlemen from every corner of creation — Lupin III, Jiraiya the Pervy Sage, Monk Miroku, and others — were practically trembling with anticipation.

"So that's Esdeath's ideal type, huh? Sounds exactly like me!"

The list appeared on-screen:

Values the future above all else — strives to become a general one day.

Brave enough to hunt danger beasts with bare hands.

Grew up in the borderlands, not the Capital.

Younger than me — easier to control that way.

Has a pure, innocent smile.

Everyone stared. Then, collectively, the same thought hit them like lightning.

Tatsumi.

Young, idealistic, from the countryside, hunts danger beasts barehanded, has a pure smile…

These weren't just random preferences. They were tailor-made for him.

"Wait… is Esdeath about to fall for Tatsumi!?"

The entire multiverse erupted.

And sure enough—That's exactly where the story went.

To find Esdeath a worthy partner, the Capital hosted a grand martial arts tournament.

Tatsumi entered for the prize money… and crushed every opponent.

His innocent smile after victory pierced straight through Esdeath's frozen heart.

Click.

A collar snapped around Tatsumi's neck before he even realized what happened.

It was the "Queen's" way of claiming ownership.

The next second, Esdeath knocked him out cold and carried him off to her chambers.

Moonlight spilled across the room.

Tatsumi sat nervously on the bed.

From the nearby bath came the sound of running water — Esdeath, the Empire's most beautiful general, bathing just beyond the door.

In the blink of an eye, the story charged full-speed toward the indescribable…

"..."
