(Note: Regarding the setting being affected by the protagonist in the large dungeon world, there will be a reasonable explanation later.)
"Congratulations! Samsara Player 'Shura' has performed exceptionally in the 'One Piece' dungeon world of the Samsara Tower!"
"Within 168 hours, he obtained a bounty of two billion Baileys, heavily impacted the dungeon world, overfulfilled the dungeon mission, and has been awarded a perfect evaluation — SSS!"
Super God Evaluation — SSS!!
The announcement echoed across Samsara Plaza, the Dungeon Hall, and even within the dungeons themselves.
Every corner of the Samsara Space heard the broadcast.
SSS rating — Super God!
It was back. Once again, the double "S" most people could only dream of.
And the one to claim this impossible feat?
"Shura!"
Shock? No—
Numbness.
Most Samsara players didn't even react anymore. Their expressions had long since turned blank.
Because they were numb!
This was Shura's fourth SSS Super God evaluation!
Four perfect ratings in eleven days!
[Chat screen messages flooded in rapidly:]
"It's him again. The Great God's breaking the system!"
"No surprise. I heard someone saw Shura enter a dungeon recently. Of course, he's gonna flood the feed again!"
"Four SSS-rated clears in a row!? Damn, is Shura the secret lovechild of the Samsara System?"
"Forget lovechild — he is the Samsara System's real father!"
"Is Shura going for the top floor of the Samsara Tower?"
"C'mon now, there's no way even Shura can do that—"
"Don't be so sure. With four SSS evaluations, his power must be insane by now. And the higher you go, the more foundation matters. The stronger you are, the easier it gets!"
"Sh*t… hearing you break it down, it actually makes sense!!"
"By the way, where's he getting all those dungeon refresh cards?"
"Need you ask? Obviously it's a reward from the SSS rating!"
Most of those feeling overwhelmed were in Safe Zones.
They had never challenged the Samsara Tower, and had no idea how terrifying those dungeon floors really were.
But for the ones inside the tower? Especially those who had cleared the Third Stage "One Piece" dungeon — the shock hit much deeper.
"Two billion Baileys? What the hell did Shura do!?"
"Wait—did the system glitch? Or did I mishear? Two billion?? That's more than what most top pirates get!"
"There's no way! He must've hacked the game or something. No one can earn 2 billion Baileys in a week!"
"Did he kill a Marine Admiral or something!?"
"No way! The Admirals are crazy strong. Who the hell could kill one on the Third Stage?"
Inside a bar in the Samsara Space, a group of Samsara players gathered to discuss the news, all wearing expressions of disbelief.
Just then, a Samsara player who had recently cleared the Third Stage dungeon walked in, grinning ear to ear.
"I can tell you how Shura got that 2 billion bounty!"
One of the seated Samsara turned and shouted, "Yo, Beast! Judging by that stupid happy face, did you score big in the Third Stage dungeon?"
Beast replied with exaggerated humility, "It wasn't much. Thanks to Shura's blessing, I only managed to get an 'A' grade evaluation."
"!!"
Gasps erupted from the table.
"Holy sh*t! An A rating?!"
"Beast, quit pretending you're humble. You know damn well that's nuts!"
"Tch, liar."
Beast chuckled and showed off the evaluation mark on his arm.
C!
The moment everyone saw the glowing "C", their eyes turned red with envy.
Even C-level strength was enough to qualify for a leadership role in the government departments post-dungeon. Beast had a bright future ahead of him.
"How the hell did you pull that off, Beast?" someone asked.
Beast smirked, "Nothing much. I ranked fifth in the Navy recruitment assessment. Got rewarded with a Zoan-type Devil Fruit. After eating it, my power jumped straight to C-level."
Everyone inhaled sharply at the brag — because he wasn't lying.
Then Beast added, his tone sincere for once, "Really though, I gotta thank Shura. Without him, I wouldn't have even cracked the top ten. And it's not just me — anyone who picked the Navy camp for that dungeon should be grateful."
"What do you mean?"
"Yeah, how did Shura rack up a bounty of 2 billion Baileys?"
Beast smiled mysteriously. "You want the SSS strategy for free?"
"Come on, bro! Share the goods!"
"Brother Beast, please! My next run is in the Third Stage too!"
"Don't be a jerk! Just tell us already!"
Seeing their desperation, Beast snickered. "Fine. But I want three glasses of Bloody Mary in return!"
A Bloody Mary cost 150 points per glass. Painfully expensive. But still, three players grit their teeth and ordered the drinks.
After a satisfying sip, Beast leaned in.
"Here's the deal. Shura also took part in the Navy recruitment assessment — but he joined as a pirate. That's right, he went undercover in the Navy."
"Wait, what?!"
"Let me finish," Beast said smugly. "He aced the recruitment exam and ranked second. But when a big shot showed up to personally award him honors…"
"He revealed his true identity — and killed the big shot on the spot!"
"Killed?! What big shot?" someone asked quickly.
Beast dropped the bomb: "A Celestial Dragon — a World Noble!"
"!!!"
The whole table went dead silent.
Gasps filled the bar.
"No f**king way! In Navy HQ? A Celestial Dragon?! How did Shura even get close!?"
"And how did he escape afterward? The Admirals would've obliterated him!"
"Yeah, don't tell me Shura's stronger than an Admiral!"
Beast laughed. "Of course not. After the Celestial Dragon was killed, the Fleet Admiral himself — Sengoku — tried to take Shura down. But Shura had prepared in advance. He either had a teleportation skill or a special item. He vanished instantly!"
"He what?! Teleported out from under Fleet Admiral Sengoku's nose?!"
"Holy sh*t, I never would've thought of that!"
"Yeah, but do you have teleportation gear? Can you rank top three in the assessment?"
"Damn it, Beast, your so-called 'strategy' is useless to us! You just scammed us out of our drinks!"
Similar conversations were erupting all over the Samsara Space.
With over a hundred Samsara players joining the Third Stage dungeon this time, most had chosen the safer Navy camp — and now they all bore witness to Shura's terrifying presence.
Everyone saw how Fenric, the Samsara known as Shura, dominated the entire battlefield with terrifying precision.
And now, with his fourth SSS rating, his legend only grew more untouchable.
