A person in Tokyo becomes a demon god

Chapter 15 Lucky Fruit
"Brother Lu!"

Seeing the girl on the other side of the bulletproof glass,
As Qiuyue Ritsu sat down, the thought "I knew it" flashed through her mind.

It makes sense, who else but this girl with waist-length hair would come to visit him?

"Kaori, why are you here again so soon?"

"What do you mean 'fast'? A week has already passed."

As soon as Akizuki Ritsu opened her mouth, the girl on the other side of the glass puffed up her cheeks, making her look like a large hamster.

"After this visit, we will have to wait another month."

At this point, the girl's angry mood soared again.

The rules for prison visits in island nations stipulate that visits can be made once a month and are limited to immediate family members or close relatives.

In reality, most prisoners have trouble even getting a family visit, let alone once a month, let alone once a year.

Island tradition dictates that you shouldn't cause trouble for others; conversely, those who cause trouble for others will also be estranged from their relatives.

"Brother Lawyer, I'm planning to apply to law school."

Across from the reception room, a long-haired girl leaned forward and placed her hand on the glass.

"Once I get my lawyer's license, I can come to see you often."

Meetings with legal representatives are not subject to visitation frequency restrictions, as long as they meet prison security screening requirements: this is the only means, besides 'diplomatic or consular visits,' to circumvent the frequency limits. Furthermore:
"I will find a way to prove to everyone that Brother Lu was wronged!"

This is the real reason why the girl is preparing to apply to law school: she is willing to gamble her future for her childhood sweetheart.

"No no no,"

In response, Akizuki Ritsu, behind the glass, waved her hand.

Whether others believe it or not is not important.

"The important thing is that you believe it."

?

"Brother Lu, you're still the same."

This answer made the girl outside the window, Inoue Kaori, lower her head shyly.

"Knows how to please girls."

"I'm just telling the truth."

Qiu Yuelu shrugged. As a transmigrator, why would he care about other people's opinions?
That is, people who are relatively familiar in one's memory.

For example, only Kaori in front of me would I care about her.

"By the way, Kaori, how's everything at home?"

"Everything is fine, Brother Lu."

The girl perked up when the topic came up.

"Kaoru and I clean your house every day, just waiting for you to come back."

The Akizuki family and the Inoue family are neighbors. Akizuki Ritsu is currently in prison and has entrusted the Inoue family to manage his property: if he encounters a ruthless person, he might be taken advantage of on the spot.

"Thank you for your trouble, Kaoru."

At this point, Akizuki Ritsu pictured a quiet and well-behaved middle school student with bangs hanging down in her mind.

Kaoru Inoue, Kaori Inoue's younger sister, used to follow Ritsu Akizuki around. They were a trio who grew up together.

"Where are your uncle and aunt?"

"That's good too,"

After a slight hesitation, Kaori Inoue continued:

“Actually, my father had been threatened by the Sumiyoshi-kai before, but I heard that a few days ago, their subordinate group, the Ishii-gumi, had a conflict with other yakuza groups, and the people threatening my father have become much more subdued.”

"The group that threatened Uncle Inoue wasn't the Ishii group?"

The girl on the other side of the glass shook her head slightly in response to Akizuki Ritsu's question.

"No, it's the Hanabatake group."

A well-behaved student like Kaori would never normally bother to learn about these yakuza-related matters.

But ever since her childhood friend Ritsu Akizuki was framed and her father was threatened, Kaori Inoue, who is preparing to take the law school entrance exam, has also begun to learn about the world that ordinary people would never come into contact with.

"On the surface, the Ishii group is a scrap car recycling company, while the Hanabatake group monopolizes the sand and gravel procurement business in Adachi Ward, although they are both..."

A subordinate organization of the Sumiyoshi-kai!

At this point, the girl shut her mouth.

This is the visiting room of the Tokyo Detention Center. It is under full video surveillance, so some things cannot be discussed in too much detail.

Ah, this...

It seems I've got the wrong target?
Feel sorry,

After silently mourning for the 'Ishii Group' for 0.3 seconds, Akizuki Ritsu put it out of her mind.

"Kaori, just focus on your studies and enjoy your university life."

As for me—

Leaning back in his seat, Qiuyue Lu spread out his hands.

“I love this place.”

He has a regular lifestyle, is provided with food and drink, is undisturbed, and has a level of security even higher than the Prime Minister's official residence; he doesn't want to leave yet.

Although Ritsu Akizuki possesses all the abilities of a Devil Fruit, these abilities still require development and training: only when he can achieve elemental transformation and develop Observation Haki to 'predict the future' will he dare to claim that he is 'invincible'.

For now, it's more convenient to let the 'downlines' develop and practice first, and then sit back and reap the benefits.

Of course, those guys who put him in jail won't be let off the hook either.

Once I have enough strength, I'll consider getting out of prison.

???

Seeing the confident look on the boy behind the glass, Inoue Kaori was first stunned, then smiled.

"Are you saying these things to stop me from worrying?"

How gentle you are, Brother Lu.

"No, it's the truth."

"In short, just do whatever you want to do, and you will definitely succeed."

"Although that's what Ritsu-nii said, Kaori isn't really sure either."

Outside the Tokyo Detention Center,
The girl with waist-length hair clenched her fist.

The goal has been set, but law school is not so easy to get into.

The electoral system of island nations originated from Western Europe: in the parliamentary system of Western Europe, manipulating the law is the most basic principle; a large number of members of parliament have worked in the legal field, and even 44 percent of the prime ministers of island nations have served as lawyers, judges, or prosecutors.

For example, the current prime minister graduated from the Faculty of Law at Keio University.

Law is the true 'dragon-slaying art' of this island nation.

Kaori Inoue's grades were decent, but only decent; the required deviation scores for applying to law schools at various universities would deter 99% of applicants.

As she pondered this, the girl walked west along the street. There was no bus stop outside the Tokyo Detention Center.

The nearest platform requires walking to Songyuan Children's Playground.
? !
The girl looked up,

I inadvertently saw a ball roll onto the road from the other side.

Behind the ball, a little girl was chasing after it: her hair was styled in a standard Hime cut, and her white lace dress was clearly a high-end item.

These are not the main points. The main points are:

"Dudududu!!"

A truck is driving by!

Faced with the little girl who suddenly ran out chasing the ball,

The driver disregarded the rule that honking in the city would result in a fine, and kept honking the horn while slamming on the brakes: but it was too late!
As the little girl instinctively turned her head, what came into her view was a car rapidly enlarging.

It's over-

Just then, a chill...
Just as the bullet shot straight into the driver's skull from his feet, a figure lunged past in front of the car.

Squeak squeak squeak

The tires left long black tracks on the road. In the truck that had slid seven or eight meters, the driver turned his stiff neck and looked in the rearview mirror:

A female college student in school uniform threw a little girl to the ground while holding her.

"Hey, are you okay?"

"That's over there."

"Car accident, was anyone injured?"

Besides the truck driver who jumped out of the car, the honking and sudden braking sounds also attracted the attention of those around.

Many people rushed over and took out their phones: since the widespread use of smartphones, the consensus in most countries is to record a video first when in doubt.

"It hurts, it hurts,"

He sat up from the ground.
Kaori Inoue, who had lunged to save the person, rubbed her shoulder.

"Nozomi, Nozomi-chan!"

From the crowd that had gathered nearby, an anxious noblewoman squeezed through and hurried toward Inoue Kaori: no, it should be the little girl in her arms.

"Mommy, I...I..." The little girl, held in Inoue Kaori's arms, was clearly terrified and couldn't speak.

“Private Marseille!”

On the other side, the truck driver who was walking over had already bowed deeply.

Strictly speaking, it was the little girl who suddenly ran onto the road, not his fault; but many things, regardless of right or wrong, also need to consider the consequences: besides, this lady clearly had an extraordinary status, and if things really came down to it, he, a truck driver, would definitely suffer a loss.

“Private Marseille with red bean paste!”

Aside from apologizing, the truck driver didn't know what else to say.

By the way:

"Young lady, are you alright?"

"I'm fine,"

Stand up and check:
To her surprise, she found that she hadn't broken any skin, which puzzled Inoue Kaori.

"Then I'll take my leave now—"

"and many more!"

A rather imposing middle-aged man also squeezed out of the crowd, followed by a pale-faced secretary.

"Miss, thank you so much for your bravery."

The middle-aged man's gaze swept over the twisted scorch marks on the road, and he couldn't help but tremble slightly.

If it weren't for this courageous young woman,
His youngest daughter is probably gone!
"Could I take up a little of your time?"

The middle-aged man bowed slightly.

“I want to express my gratitude to you as a father.”

"Oh, you're too kind."

Without a second thought, Kaori Inoue rushed out and saved the little girl, nodding in return.

"I'm fine, I still need to prepare for my law school entrance exam."

"Oh?"

The middle-aged man's spirits lifted upon hearing this.
"I have a good relationship with the Dean of the Faculty of Law at the University of Tokyo. If you don't mind, please allow me to make the introduction."

Huh? The Faculty of Law at the University of Tokyo?!

"No no no,"

With both hands waving, Inoue Kaori retreated while refusing.

"My deviation score is too high; I won't pass the exam."

"goodbye,"

With that, the shy girl turned and left.

For an ordinary high school girl like her, being watched like this was incredibly exciting.

“My dear, it’s all thanks to this kind lady.”

He held the little girl tightly in his arms.
The noblewoman, her expression slightly calmer, looked at the middle-aged man.

"We can't let little Ximei's benefactor down."

"Please rest assured, Madam."

The middle-aged man, who had long held a high position, nodded heavily.

“We, the Tokugawa family, are not ungrateful people.”

This kindness,

I must repay them, I definitely will!

"good,"

In the 'Tokyo Detention Center' across the street,

Having returned to his 'room', Akizuki Ritsu stroked his chin.

In this way, Kaori should be able to get into law school soon; maybe even the University of Tokyo: a real meteoric rise, and she can get a job in a major court or the Metropolitan Police Department after graduation.

Everything that just happened,
It is not dominated by Akizuki Ritsu, but it appears because of Akizuki Ritsu's power.

He bestowed upon Inoue Kaori the Devil Fruit power known as the 'Lucky Fruit'.

This Devil Fruit is the ability of Bakala, a receptionist under the "Golden Emperor" in the One Piece world.

The core ability of the Lucky Fruit is fortune manipulation: by absorbing the fortune of others, it can plunge those it comes into contact with into a continuous period of misfortune; it can also transform the plundered fortune into its own advantage, achieving a super-probability success.

Simply put, it's the ability to amplify 'misfortune' and 'luck' infinitely.

It's an incredibly overpowered ability, and it's also extremely well-hidden.

It was so well hidden that even Qiu Yuelu, the source of this ability, wouldn't have noticed such a 'coincidence' unless he had prior knowledge of it.

"Unfortunately, I haven't absorbed much 'luck' yet, and I need to accumulate it slowly."

Ritsu Akizuki endowed Kaori Inoue with the ability of the 'Lucky Fruit,' which allows her to absorb the luck of others every moment. Because she just gained the ability, she absorbs very little luck; otherwise, the person whose luck she absorbs will immediately experience a scene reminiscent of "Final Destination."

But little by little, these small strokes of luck accumulated and, in a very natural way, gave her a 'shortcut' to law school.

"The ability to be lucky is indeed interesting."

It can be said that this ability is actually the most suitable for this world.

First, the Lucky Fruit has unparalleled concealment: apart from Ritsu Akizuki, even Kaori Inoue is unaware that she is already a 'Devil Fruit user'.

Secondly, the activation of Devil Fruit abilities is also silent: 'misfortune' only requires touching someone, and 'luck' is even more intangible.

Finally, this fruit can also cause enormous destruction.

In the world of 'One Piece', the ability user 'Bakara' can cause buildings to collapse and crush their unlucky targets simply by walking by.

All of the opponent's attacks inexplicably missed for various reasons: unfortunately, luck has its limits, and against a powerful being with three types of Haki, 'misfortune' simply cannot break through the defense.

Even if misfortune is powerful enough to drag a meteorite down, it cannot harm a truly strong person.

"As Teacher Kai once said, domineering is everything."

finished,

He used a move called "Fire Dragon Torch".

Therefore, for Akizuki Ritsu: ability is necessary, and domineering presence is also necessary; only in this way can one be considered complete!

Various abilities have already been spread out, so domineering—no, domineering is too far away. The right way is to first master the basics such as swordsmanship and the Six Styles.

While thinking this way,

Akizuki Ritsu's attention fell on that 'Heisei Sword Saint'.

Setagaya,
Machii Residence

"Hi! Hi! Hi!"

Someone was practicing swordsmanship. The cold, snow-white katana reflected the candlelight in the dojo, its blade flashing like dazzling lightning; the figure moved swiftly, as if riding the wind.

The dojo, which was clearly large enough for hundreds of people to sit on the ground, was completely filled by a rushing figure.

As the katana was swung, even the candles several meters away flickered and fell!

Such swordsmanship, if it were to fall on a person, is unimaginable.

"call--"

After completing a set of sword techniques, the figure dressed in samurai attire stopped in his tracks.

"I have mastered the Natural Rishin-ryu swordsmanship."

Glancing at the tablet beside him, with its list of videos he had already watched, the middle-aged swordsman Machii Isao shook his head slightly.

there is none left,
Kendo in most island nations

He had practiced and mastered it so much that even the top masters of these swords had no choice but to immediately prostrate themselves before him.

To put it simply, swordsmanship ultimately consists of only a few basic movements: drawing, thrusting, sweeping, returning, and landing. Regardless of the style, all swordsmanship is developed from these fundamental movements. As the 'Heisei Sword Saint,' Machii Isao has practiced swordsmanship for half his life and has dabbled in various forms of kendo.

This is easy to understand. It's like a jungler in the Chinese server of a game who goes to play top lane, mid lane, and farms. They can still crush most players.

"Since my breakthrough, these basic sword techniques have become second nature to me."

As he sheathed his sword, Machii Isao's eyes gleamed.

Ordinary swordsmanship no longer caught his eye.

What to do next?

"Seven paces away, the gun is fast."

Gripping his sword tightly, Machii Isao looked at the weapon rack at the end of the dojo.

With the development of firearms, the samurai sword faded from the historical stage, and this "sword saint" could only appear on television every day, chopping straw mats and firing BB guns; it was more like dancing than martial arts.

Within seven steps—

Clang!
A flash of light,
Pfft

The weapon rack, several meters away, suddenly cracked open.

Draw the sword, sheath it.
A single burst and a reversal, all in just 0.1 seconds!
At that speed, most soldiers didn't even have time to pull the trigger.

"Perhaps I can bring back the era of the 'sword'."
