Chapter 1: The Celestial Dragon and the Chat Group
Sea Circle Calendar, Year 1498.
Holy Land, Mary Geoise.
"Saint Roy, breakfast is ready for you~"
A beautiful woman with short, curly blond hair and a gorgeous face stood respectfully by the bed. Her eyes were filled with an adoration that could make any man feel ecstatic.
"Hmm."
Roy replied nonchalantly, sitting up in the luxurious bed crafted from Treasure Tree Adam wood.
The reason for his lazy attitude toward this beauty wasn't just because he was a "Celestial Dragon," nor was it because he hated women. It was simply because the blonde beauty next to him was named Stussy.
Stussy was a member of the World Government's CP0, a clone, and the future queen of the Pleasure District. In the future, she would follow Dr. Vegapunk and betray the World Government.
Although she was beautiful, she was not trustworthy. He would need to find an opportunity to "educate" her properly.
Ignoring the dozen or so women around him who had fainted from exhaustion, Roy yawned. Accompanied by Stussy, he walked toward a dining hall far more luxurious than any national palace.
The ingredients for the delicacies on the table came from the Grand Line and the dangerous waters of the Four Seas. To ensure the Celestial Dragons could enjoy these delicacies daily, countless people had lost their lives, and countless families had been ruined.
This is the life of a Celestial Dragon... Who can resist the temptation of testing one's will with this?
Lamenting his own "depravity," Roy sat down slowly and allowed himself to be hand-fed by Stussy and another beauty.
It is worth mentioning that the beauty serving Roy alongside Stussy, as well as the dozen women before her, was not an ordinary civilian. They were princesses, queens, and even queen mothers from member and nonmember nations of the World Government.
But even though they were noble and pampered, while by the side of a Celestial Dragon, they had to learn to bend their will and serve carefully. Contrary to what many might think, this was not viewed as a punishment by their families but a reward—a talking point for their fathers, husbands, and sons to boast about in front of nobles from other kingdoms.
This is the Celestial Dragons. The Gods and Creators of this world. At the same time, they are the biggest parasites and scum in the world.
In his previous life, Roy was naturally disgusted by this group and longed for them all to die. After transmigration, this disgust did not weaken in the slightest; it became more serious.
'These privileges should only be enjoyed by me and my family. Why should those other pigs have the same as me?'
Slandering the other trashy Celestial Dragons in his heart, Roy enjoyed his food in peace.
Suddenly, a pleasant mechanical voice sounded in his ears.
Friendly Mutual Aid Chat Group binding! Do you wish to bind?
Huh? I've transmigrated as a Celestial Dragon, and I even have a Gold Finger (Cheat System)!?
Naturally, Roy stopped eating. He quietly ordered, "Leave me first, and take those women away!"
"Yes, Saint Roy!"
Although they had some doubts as to why their lord hadn't teased them as usual during the meal, Stussy and the queen named Anne did not dare to disobey his orders in the slightest.
Soon, the backs of the group disappeared through the doorway.
He sensed the area with his Observation Haki to ensure no one else was around. Roy held his breath and said silently in his heart, "Bind!"
Binding successful!
An unrecognizable voice rang in Roy's ears, sounding pleasant and clear. A chat interface, similar to the "Penguin" QQ app from his previous life, immediately appeared in his mind.
Before Roy could take a closer look, a flood of messages swiped across the screen.
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "You two, I saw the Yukinoshita sisters you told me about. Yukino is a cold beauty, but Haruno is unexpectedly very kind. She's not as terrible as you said."
Uchiha Miyuki: "Yes, yes, yes, both of them are iconic beauties, right? Damn, why didn't I travel to Utaha's world? Why do I have to kill people on the battlefield every day!"
Esdeath: "@Uchiha Miyuki, haven't you fully adapted to it after a few months? It is the prerogative of the strong to ravage the weak. Those with strength should never flee from the battlefield!"
Uchiha Miyuki: "But my purpose in becoming stronger is just to stick to beautiful girls!"
Yamamoto Genryūsai: "@Uchiha Miyuki, Esdeath is not being rough. In the Naruto world, where wars are frequent, if you don't kill others, others will come to kill you. You must not relax in the slightest!"
Uchiha Miyuki: "I know, I know, I won't show mercy to the enemy~."
Yamamoto Genryūsai: "It's good that you understand that."
Yamamoto Genryūsai: "@Kasumigaoka Utaha, don't be deceived by Yukinoshita Haruno's disguise! That woman will play with things she likes when she sees them, and she won't show mercy when she encounters something she hates. But she looks like an amiable lady on the outside. Damn it! She is exactly the same as Aizen from the Bleach world. I really hate these black-bellied types!"
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Is that so... I get it; I'll be careful."
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "By the way, my light novel 'Miss Shinigami Won't Fall in Love with the Uchiha' has released 5 volumes, and total sales have reached 2.5 million, crushing my debut work, 'Love Metronome.'~"
Esdeath: "...I can't understand why women falling in love with other women is so popular."
Tohsaka Sakura: "Congratulations to Sister Utaha! I heard you say before that if a light novel has 500,000 average volume sales before it is animated, that is already a phenomenon, right?"
Uchiha Miyuki: "That's right. In my previous life, even manga with a larger audience in Japan was considered quite popular if it had 500,000 average volumes before the anime."
Yamamoto Genryūsai: "Utaha... Although I really want to congratulate you, sure enough, this old lady still doesn't like being used as a reference for that."
Uchiha Miyuki: "Who are you talking about?"
Yamamoto Genryūsai: "What do you think?"
Uchiha Miyuki: "Damn, wait, you violent Shinigami maniac! Wait for Miss Ben (me) to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan! I will definitely awaken the strongest Genjutsu pupil technique!"
Tohsaka Sakura: "Gen... Genjutsu Pupil?"
Uchiha Miyuki: "That's right! It's like Aizen's ability of
'Complete Hypnosis'... That kid Aizen really doesn't know how to cherish it. How good would this ability be for me! Eriri, Yukino, Haruno, Utaha, Esdeath, Saber, Sakura, and your sister and mother—heyhehe~."
Yamamoto Genryūsai: "..."
Tohsaka Sakura: "..."
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "It's really terrible... Not only are you eyeing me, but is Sakura-chan's mother your target too?"
Tohsaka Sakura: "Miyuki senpai... if there's something you want, come at me! Please don't bully my sister and mother!"
Esdeath: "Hmph, as long as you're stronger than me, it doesn't matter if you use a hundred illusions on me!"
Yamamoto Genryūsai: "Ahem... I said let's pause for a moment. Didn't you notice that a new person just joined?"
Uchiha Miyuki: "Eh, a newcomer? Really? Which world is the newcomer from? Is it an original character or a transmigrator? Is it a beautiful girl?!"
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "At this time, the role of the 'Transmigrator' is reflected. Do the Eldest Miss and the Shinigami know this newcomer?"
Uchiha Miyuki: "I don't know, but... that's a familiar name. I've probably seen a similar name in a previous life."
Yamamoto Genryūsai: "Hmph! This old lady has already checked and knows their identity!"
Uchiha Miyuki: "Eh, is this the power of the Violent Maniac Shinigami? We don't have a clue!"
Tohsaka Sakura: "Shivering... Sister Miyuki picked a fight with Sister Genryūsai again."
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Just like I wrote in 'Miss Shinigami Won't Fall in Love with an Uchiha,' these two people are simply in love and killing each other~"
Uchiha Miyuki: "Hey~ It's hard to say if we're in love, but if I have a hypnotic pupil technique, I must use it on this violent madness! And then ravage her fiercely~"
Yamamoto Genryūsai: "Hmph! This old lady is also a transmigrator. I'm not even afraid of Aizen, so am I supposed to be afraid of you, a little pervert?"
Esdeath: "Let's talk about the identity of the newcomer! I really hope it's a beautiful world full of war and devastation!"
Yamamoto Genryūsai: "Hey—I forgot to get down to business because of that Uchiha woman!"
Yamamoto Genryūsai: "@Nerona Roy Saint, Sister, you have traveled to the world of Pirates, become a Celestial Dragon, and have a relationship with Im, who is suspected of being the final boss, right?"
Uchiha Miyuki: "Ahh... hhh. Wait... Shouldn't the women of the Celestial Dragons be addressed as 'Guu' (Palace)?"
Yamamoto Genryūsai: "How is that possible? It's not a palace!?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "It's actually a saint! Not a Palace?"
Tohsaka Sakura: "I don't know what happened, but... it's actually a Saint! Not a Palace..."
Bleach World, Soul Society. First Division Barracks, Training Field.
Sweating profusely just after training, Yamamoto Genryūsai rechecked Roy's personal information in disbelief. She confirmed that his name was indeed followed by the title 'Saint' (Sei), not 'Palace' (Guu).
Yamamoto Genryūsai: "It seems that our sister group has finally ushered in the first male. @Nerona Roy Saint, Brother, won't you come out and say a word?"
Yamamoto Genryūsai: "Don't worry about persecution or anything; the chat group has relevant regulations on this aspect."
Yamamoto Genryūsai: "By the way, every newcomer in this chat group will get a 'Copy of Memory' that only they can see when they join the group. To put it bluntly, it's the original plot of your world. Well, it's not very useful for us transmigrators."
Pirate World, Holy Land.
Seeing that Yamamoto Genryūsai had @'ed him, Roy didn't reply immediately. Instead, he carefully checked the chat group functions.
As she said, this chat group did not have the versatility of the web novels he had seen in his previous life. You couldn't physically travel between worlds, buy items in a store, sign in for points, or send red envelopes.
However, you could chat, post pictures, start live broadcasts, and receive a Newbie Reward exclusive to transmigrators.
As for the memory copies, they were indeed just the original books and anime. For transmigrators who already knew the plot, they were of little use. But considering there were still quite a few original characters in the chat group (like Esdeath and Sakura), they must be in great need of this reward.
Obviously, Tohsaka Sakura and the others already knew the fate of their original world lines and had completely stepped out of the shadows.
"So, not only did I become a Celestial Dragon, but I also have a Chat Group-type Gold Finger?"
Originally, Roy didn't think he could easily defeat the future Revolutionary Army, the protagonist Luffy, and others. Now, he felt much more powerful.
I'm going to hit ten... No, twenty protagonists!
With his confidence slightly swelling, Roy immediately checked the identities of the rest of the people in the group.
Tohsaka Sakura, Kasumigaoka Utaha, and Esdeath needed no introduction; they were all famous characters from his previous life.
Tohsaka Sakura is a popular character in the Type Moon (Fate) world, but he didn't know what time period she was from.
Kasumigaoka Utaha is one of the heroines of Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend and seems to live in a comic world where several everyday slice-of-life worlds merge.
Esdeath is the popular villain of Akame ga Kill.
On the contrary, the other two were heavyweights.
Uchiha Miyuki was too obvious: a transmigrator girl of the Uchiha clan in the Naruto world. Her personality seemed to be a bit like Shirai Kuroko from A Certain Scientific Railgun—perverted, into lily (yuri), and shameless.
Yamamoto Genryūsai was obviously from the Bleach world, and there is a high probability she is related to the Captain Commander, Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni. Her personality seemed a bit masculine, like a heroic and irascible old lady.
"The group is full of girls, and I'm the only man?"
Raising his eyebrows and watching the information in the group refresh, Roy finally issued his first sentence in the chat group.
Nerona Saint Roy: "I am in the Pirate World, and I have just transmigrated into the World Nobles. Please advise me!"
