A person in Tokyo becomes a demon god

Chapter 172 Castle Fruit
Nagoya, Naka-ku.

On the rooftop of the Hilton Hotel at 1-3-3 Sakae, a sniper dressed entirely in black aimed his anti-materiel sniper rifle at the road below.

"Buzz buzz buzz, this is Target Number 1, target detected!"

"This is Target 2, in position."

"Target 3, in position."

As snipers reported their positions over the channel, a powerful barrage of fire, capable of instantly piercing an armored vehicle, was poised to be unleashed.

Their target was just one person.

No, it should be said that it was one person and one horse.

Is that Oda Nobunaga?

On the street below, a military officer rode up on horseback.

The anti-materiel sniper rifle was mounted on the rooftop. Through the 20x scope, the 'Target No. 1' was clearly reflected in his eyes: instead of the traditional Japanese 'moon head' hairstyle, his hair was tied into a high bun, with sideburns and a mustache. His hair was gray, and he exuded an imposing aura. He was wearing magnificent Western plate armor.

This is normal. According to historical records, Oda Nobunaga was not a conventional person. He used firearms and plate armor extensively and was known as the "big fool of Owari".

Now, this "big fool of Owari" is riding on a "southern barbarian horse" that is also from abroad;

Walking slowly in the middle of the deserted street,

Like a lion surveying its territory.

unfortunately,

Such heroes, however, are their enemies.

The sniper wanted to question these supernatural beings: "We're all from an island nation, why are we hostile to each other?"

But reason told him that whether it was Heian-kyo a thousand years ago, or the Warring States period five hundred years ago, it had nothing in common with the island nation of today, if not completely unrelated.

If he woke up to find that his island nation had entered the interstellar age, he would not feel any sense of belonging either.

If you have no family or friends left, what is there to identify with?
"Attention all units!"

The sound in the headset brought sniper 'Target 1' back to his senses, allowing him to place the man on the tall horse within his crosshairs.

Not only them, but also armored vehicles slowly drove up the street below, completely occupying it.

tap tap tap,

Amidst the dense sound of footsteps,
Large numbers of fully armed soldiers poured out of the surrounding alleys and streets.

In the blink of an eye, countless weapons were aimed at the man and his horse. Not to mention flesh and blood, even a tank would be torn to shreds in an instant. Above, drones hovered, ready to transform into missiles and swoop down at any moment.

"Lord Oda, please wait!"

From the lead command vehicle, a colonel leaned out.

“We have no intention of being your enemy. This is the former ‘Naguye City,’ the place where you rose to power.”

"And we are all descendants of this land."

In the island nation's language, 'Nagoya Castle' and 'Nagoya' are very similar: the name of this city has been passed down for five hundred years, which is the beginning of the current hegemony.

"What about Furuno Castle?"

The man on the tall horse looked around.
"I see no familiar traces. You have built your own city on my land without permission. What is your crime?"

asshole!

You're an old guy who's been dead for hundreds of years, do you still think this is your territory?
The school officer in charge of the negotiations was cursing inwardly, but had to maintain a humble smile on his face.

"Yes, Lord Oda is right to reprimand me."

"If you wish to continue ruling this land, we can talk."

"No need,"

Raising his hand to stop the other person from speaking, the man named 'Oda Nobunaga' spoke calmly.

"I will go and get what I want myself."

He doesn't care for what others give him.

"Your Mightiness,"

Since the soft approach didn't work, the officer's tone became more forceful.

"This is no longer the era of warriors; hundreds of years have passed, and times have changed!"

"Let me reiterate, we have no intention of being your enemy. If we can sit down, we can discuss any terms—"

"Oh,"

However, the officer's intimidation was interrupted by a cold laugh.

"Negotiation? With your abilities?"

A man in full armor on horseback from the Warring States period raised his whip and swept it around: soldiers, armored vehicles, and finally pointed to:
? !
His pupils contracted sharply as he saw the enemy's whip pointing at him through the scope of 'Target 1'.

"The outcome is decided; you have already lost."

???

"Lord Oda, you're saying we've lost?"

While the other soldiers stood frozen in place, the officer in charge of the negotiations swallowed hard.

Where did we fail?

Have they been cursed?
"Defeated because—"

The raised whip fell, and the man on horseback gave his answer.

"Insufficient manpower."

Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang,

boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom!
In an instant, the street was engulfed by bullets and explosions.

However, it was not Oda Nobunaga, who was surrounded by island soldiers and armored vehicles, who was submerged.

It was the soldiers and troops surrounding him!
Clusters of flames exploded, engulfing all the armored vehicles on the street; countless bullets flew out, hitting the necks and faces of the soldiers—and in the sky, fireballs exploded, those were the drones that had been hit; among the shattered and scattered building debris, there were several blackened corpses that had fallen to the ground.

In just a few seconds, the island nation's 'elite army' was completely wiped out!
And what killed them was:
"Bullets, shells?"

Retreating to the makeshift command center at sea, the Nagoya government officials looked extremely grim as they gazed at the fallen soldiers and the armored vehicles that had turned into fireballs.

Where did these attacks come from?

"No trace of the enemy was found in the surrounding area!"

"Those 'arquebusiers' and 'heavy artillery soldiers' were scattered throughout the city."

All the on-site reports and the footage they saw from the reconnaissance planes showed no 'soldiers' present. It was just that 'Oda Nobunaga' flicked his whip, and the army he had painstakingly organized was wiped out.

This unscientific!

The opponent's attack was clearly very 'scientific,' consisting of standard guns and cannons: well, actually, the exaggeratedly powerful firearms and the terrifyingly heavy 'rocket launchers' were also quite unscientific.

But at least it was an attack that could be understood. Now, it's become completely incomprehensible.

"How dare you! Didn't the legends of gods and ghosts gradually disappear during the Warring States period? You are not worthy to negotiate with me."

Riding his warhorse, Oda Nobunaga walked leisurely through the center of the armored vehicles that had been reduced to a twisted ruin, amidst the wreckage and corpses scattered on the ground.

"This time, I'm determined to win everything!"

Therefore, he made a deal with the demon god in exchange for this evil power.

"The Honnoji Incident will never happen again."

Because all of Oda's military formations are within his body.

This was the power bestowed upon him by the demon god; wherever Oda Nobunaga went, that was where Oda's army would be.

That's right, it's inside his body!

Castle Fruit

The Devil Fruit ability is to transform the inside of one's body into a castle.
He can shrink any object—his subordinates, cannons, horses—and hide it inside his body.

You can also use the troops stationed inside the castle to fire at the outside world, or capture your opponents and bring them into the castle to attack by controlling the various 'weapons' inside.

Simply put, this is a 'Battle Fortress' fruit with spatial and transformation properties.

It appears human on the outside, but inside it is a huge military camp. Tens of thousands of 'Homitz' troops created by someone, as well as several gun and cannon production lines, are all located inside 'Oda Nobunaga's' body.

This is the true meaning of 'one person forming an army'!
In the script set by Akizuki Ritsu, he is the 'big boss' of Nagoya.

This place was originally Oda Nobunaga's hometown, so it's perfect for him to be the final boss.

Da da da da,

In the night sky, an Osprey transport plane is speeding towards Nagoya.

"Master, this time the enemy is using firearms?"

Inside the cabin, Jiang Kou, who was watching the live stream on his phone, was somewhat disappointed.

"We've already examined enough firearms and such."

Hurry up and take it down.

"Don't be careless, Eguchi."

However, the mature and aloof beauty Machii Isao held a different opinion.

"Guns and cannons are just as deadly to us."

He had previously used his agility and swift knife skills to break into a military base in America, where he nearly died.

Stepping onto the high-voltage electric grid, let alone heavy artillery and missiles, even a regular machine gun would be enough to tear his body apart. Of course, Jiangkou's defenses are stronger, but:
"Your 'iron block' skills are not without limits."

Exceeding the limit will also result in injury.

But precisely because of this:

"This is a good opportunity to test the limits of your 'iron block' skills."

"Moreover, our enemies are not only supernatural beings."

"Master's words are correct,"

Jiang Kou only realized what was happening after his senior sister Rin whispered an explanation in his ear.

These island nations are experiencing supernatural disasters every day, and they are struggling to cope with them. How can any country have the energy to fight among itself?

But if a conflict breaks out between countries one day, they will face guns and missiles from other countries: it is better to familiarize themselves with them in advance than to be ambushed and shot in the head.

"I intend to try to master the technique of 'circle' on this battlefield."

Pegasus hopes to make the techniques of 'circle' public.
Everyone knows the significance of this technique that allows you to dodge attacks in advance.

So Machii Isao came here for training—given his personality, what did it matter to him whether others lived or died, except for his disciple and daughter?

"Okay, I'll take this opportunity to practice my 'domineering' aura."

Jiang Kou clashed his fists together, producing a resounding clang.

"If you can master Haki, then you can unleash 'Iron Body'."

He is confident that he can withstand missiles head-on.

Unlike the helicopters flying from Tokyo to Nagoya, there was also a helicopter flying from Osaka towards Nagoya.

"This is the direction Yamazaki River is heading,"

On the plane, Satomi Sato was showing everyone the course of the river that runs through Nagoya on her phone map.

"Once we arrive at the scene, we try to stay near the river."

In a crisis, you can jump into the river to escape.

They haven't mastered 'Fishman Karate' yet, but they've all honed their swimming skills quite well.

Moreover, there is also:

"Uncle, I know you want to save more people."

"Then let the Yamazaki River be the battlefield: your power can be amplified several times over in this river."

If you encounter a powerful enemy, using Water Release to escape is a sensible option, given the characteristics of Fishman Karate.

"it is good,"

Jinpei Matsumoto nodded.

"This operation was my idea. You..."

"Master, we are all your disciples. How can we let you be the one to charge into battle?"

Shinoda Takashi thumped his chest loudly. Before coming here, he had already hunted a 'human-faced tree' and obtained a supernatural fruit; he was eager to try it out and show off his skills.

“Takashi is right, Master.”

The one-armed boy, Bubu Zhang, also nodded.

"Disciples will do their duty when there is trouble—we will come even without the teacher's orders."

"Well said, Zhang!"

On the other side, Niko Rei, who had also received a new weapon, nodded.

"In this era, humanity should unite as one."

Standing next to you hot-blooded idiots, I'm starting to feel out of place.

Satomi Sato raised her hand and rubbed her temples.

In short, remember this:

Don't stray too far from the Yamazaki River; the river is their home ground.
