A person in Tokyo becomes a demon god

Chapter 244 New Devil Fruits
"Chief, a battle has broken out at the No. 7 construction site in the port area."

In the director's office in Chiyoda Ward, Director Fujita listened to Miya Kana's report without even looking up.

"continue--"

The director knew that unless there were special circumstances, Miyako Kana wouldn't have come to report to him specifically.

"There were three groups of people at the scene,"

"The 'Yokohama Federation,' whose main business is maritime smuggling,"

"It is an armed gang composed of old black Americans from Chicago."

Modern island nations are like the 'New World' during the Age of Exploration, with large numbers of people illegally migrating there. The island nations' navies alone simply cannot stop them. As for other countries?
Warships from various countries are openly transporting agents, spies, and ambitious individuals into the island nation.

These countries deserve much credit for the current chaotic situation.

Otherwise, why would Director Fujita have such a headache?

"Six of their bodies were found at the scene."

"The other one is a yakuza group called 'Headquarters House'."

The headquarters?
The name made Director Fujita raise an eyebrow.

"These guys, even at a time like this, are they still not going to settle down?"

As the head of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, Chief Inspector Fujita was naturally aware of the existence of the 'Headquarters':

"Has the Konoe family not learned their lesson yet?"

This is also an 'old acquaintance'.

When the supernatural forces first arrived, the Konoe family forcibly abducted 'Hina', one of the three Kamaitachi siblings. This led to a major battle between Yoshifumi Nitta, an undercover police officer who was originally under the Metropolitan Police Department, and the Black Hawk Unit of America. His whereabouts remain a mystery to this day.

Hina's ability allows her to disguise her appearance; even when she stands in front of Director Fujita, he doesn't dare to recognize her.

Adding to the fact that Yoshifumi Nitta was shrunk by "Rokugo" some time ago, and now he's been transformed into a little boy, it would be a miracle if the Metropolitan Police Department could find him.

Originally, the Konoe family was severely impacted by that incident and withdrew from politics. However, even a centipede with a hundred legs will not fall down easily. The Konoe family and the Hosokawa family are related by marriage, and their lineage is descended from the Konoe clan, one of the "Five Regent Families," which in turn is a branch of the Fujiwara family.

The Fujiwara family of the Heian period famously said, "This world is my world, as full and without flaw as the moon."

It's much more elegant than the statement by the Ping family that "those who are not of the Ping family are not human."

A thousand years of operation is quite remarkable.

In this supernatural era, inheritance is the most valuable asset.

For example, the Kurahashi family in Kyoto, who are descendants of Abe no Seimei, always act like Onmyoji (yin-yang masters), only lacking the habit of "welcoming their ancestor" back. Who in the island nation would dare to underestimate them?

It was the head of the 'Kurahashi family' who summoned 'Rokugo'; and the fact that he spared his life proves that this bloodline still has some use.

Therefore, the Konoe family secretly developed a huge power, and the island's cabinet turned a blind eye to it.

'Chain House'

It was the Konoe family that spearheaded the establishment of a massive underground organization.

It owns its own military factory, has recruited a large number of yakuza members, and even supernatural individuals. It's practically a dark version of the Metropolitan Police Department.

"The Konoe family left behind fifteen corpses, one of whom was even a supernatural being."

The third party is easy to understand; it's the person who eliminated the two aforementioned forces.

"Go and tell them to behave themselves!"

Children's world is black and white; adults' world is driven by self-interest.

While the Konoe family's actions certainly warranted execution a thousand times over, they possess considerable military strength and maintain friendly relations with many members of the Cabinet. Even Director Fujita would not resort to brutal force.

"Yes,"

Miya Kana nodded.

The 'grand tournament' in the other world was a great success, but the powerful and wealthy from various countries both envied and feared it.

Envy arises naturally from the abundance of treasures in that other world, including numerous secret artifacts for prolonging life; fear stems from the fact that if those 'kings' were to come to the real world, aside from nuclear bombs that have long lost their deterrent power, there are very few technological means to withstand them.

"Oh, right, Director, there's one more thing."

Before leaving,

Miya Kana turned around again.

"The Americans want to ransom Smith."

In the 'Yonagaoka Incident', Commissioner Smith was incredibly lucky, observing from beginning to end and only suffering minor scratches.

But in a sense, he was very unlucky: despite repeated close contact with 'gods', he never gained any supernatural power.

What a shame!

"Smith"

Under repeated interrogation by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, let alone the matter of Ebisu Hill.

Even Smith revealed things like peeping at his mother showering through the keyhole when he was a child. With modern interrogation techniques, there are plenty of ways to get someone to talk, especially when you're not afraid of killing someone.

If it weren't for Smith's excellent cooperation, he would probably be nothing more than a mentally deranged madman by now.

"Okay, give it to them."

Since we've already squeezed every last drop of value out of Smith, there's no need to fall out with America over this.

"Let the cabinet handle the negotiations, but don't forget the benefits that should be taken."

"Yes!"

Miya Hana gave a salute and then left completely.

Fujikito family,

"sorry, I."

"Don't apologize, it's not your fault."

After closing his eyes and changing the girl's clothes, Fujikido took the initiative to speak in an attempt to ease the tension.

"I used to change my child's clothes frequently for the past two years, and I've gotten used to it."

"Mr. Fujikido's child?"

Sitting in her wheelchair, Yuka's gaze shifted and landed on the family photo in the living room.

A man, a woman, and a child: the child's smile is innocent and pure, the young woman is gentle and virtuous, and the man is calm and handsome.

"They have left me,"

"Because of supernatural disasters."

"Huh? Sorry!"

The girl apologized in a panic, but her body remained motionless as she sat in the wheelchair.

"Don't be so formal. I've already said it's not your fault."

As he pushed the girl in front of the television, Kenji Fujikido's eyes were filled with hatred.

"Therefore, I must expel all supernatural forces!"

"Even though it's almost impossible—" he'll still do it!

"Yes, I believe Mr. Fujikido can definitely do it."

The girl in the wheelchair turned her head to look at the resolute curve of the middle-aged man's face, and subconsciously added a sentence.

"I'll help you!"

"OK,"

The fact that the girl, who was paralyzed from head to toe, said such things made Kenji Fujikido somewhat amused, and even diluted the hatred in his heart.

"Let me think of a way to help you recover."

A medical genius?

If it truly exists, it must leave a trace.

The Metropolitan Police Department likely has information about the other party, but the question is how to obtain intelligence from the Metropolitan Police Department?

Seyana Ward,

"So it was Superintendent Mitani."

In the Konoe family's rustic living room, an elderly man kneeling at the head of the table gestured with his hand.

"Please forgive me for not being able to greet you from afar."

"I dare not, Head of the Konoe family."

Kana Miyako, who was also kneeling opposite, was dressed in a kimono that perfectly suited the current atmosphere.

However, the words they spoke were not so merciful.

"This time, I brought a warning from the director."

"The illegal actions of the General Association must stop immediately!"

In a flash,

The wooden reception room felt oppressive, as if the air itself had frozen.

"hehe,"

After a long pause, the old man sitting at the head of the table smiled faintly.

“Chief Inspector Miyako, you need to provide evidence when you speak: We, the Konoe family, are law-abiding citizens and we don’t know any ‘Main House Association.’ We can’t just falsely accuse innocent people.”

Whether the Konoe family head acknowledges it or not is irrelevant.

Miya Hana was too lazy to socialize with the other party.

"Next time, it won't be me coming, but the 'On-site Countermeasures Division'."

Within the Supernatural Countermeasures Department, the 'On-Site Countermeasures Section' under Section 2, as the name suggests, is the violent agency responsible for dealing with supernatural events.

Whether it's weapons and equipment or supernatural resources, they are given priority in being armed; they are the Metropolitan Police Department's ace.

It is also Director Fujita's reliance on maintaining the status quo of the island nation.

Of course, there's more to it than just that—

"Hmph, it's just that the real powerhouses haven't made a move yet."

After Miya Kana left, the old man of the Konoe family snorted coldly in displeasure; what is the Metropolitan Police Department's strength compared to that of a true powerhouse?
He doesn't even need those 'veteran' powerhouses; his Konoe family has the power to overthrow the Metropolitan Police Department!
"Father, should I do it?"

From behind the screen in the reception room, a young man emerged dressed in Heian period samurai attire, adorned with a blue wisteria family crest.

He is the son of the head of the Konoe family, and:

"I will take Fujita's head as soon as you give the order."

These words were spoken with utter arrogance and confidence, as if they didn't take the thousands of supernatural beings in the Metropolitan Police Department seriously at all.

That's right, the Metropolitan Police Department's supernatural activities have swelled to several thousand: the blood of supernatural beings can be used to create super injections. If it weren't for the fact that weaker individuals require more blood, with modern technology, supernatural power would have already spread throughout the entire island nation like a chain reaction.

This is what someone would love to see: what he wants is a world teeming with supernatural forces.

In the foreseeable future

Those who lack 'qi' (vital energy) truly cannot be considered human.

Unlike those governments and high-ranking officials in anime who constantly restrict supernatural powers for fear of their spread, Akizuki Ritsu wishes everyone were a supernatural powerhouse, because the stronger his pawns were, the stronger he would be.

He is the source of all power in this world.

There's no need for any restrictions: they're all incredibly powerful individuals with diverse abilities, so why should they abide by the laws for ordinary people? And why limit their numbers?

I just don’t know what it means!
"No,"

The head of the Konoe family raised his hand to stop his son's actions.

"Now is not the time."

"That 'Otherworld Tournament' is full of powerful players; what if something unexpected happens?"

The Metropolitan Police Department will also need to intervene.

"The Rose Garden Competition?"

When the competition was mentioned, the young man raised his hand, and a white sword blade appeared in his palm.

The blade was as white as jade, as if no, it was bone!

"Having inherited the 'Satsuma Hayabusa Bone Man' technique, I really want to fight those guys."

This is the Konoe family's trump card.

In the Ashiya lineage, the strongest 'Satsuma Hayato Bone-Man' fell into their hands.

"Don't be careless, Yong-nam."

Unlike his spirited son, the head of the Konoe family was, after all, an old politician who understood that now was not the time for them to step forward.

"Director Fujita, it's very easy to deal with him."

The Metropolitan Police Department certainly has many supernatural beings, but it lacks a truly powerful figure.

With his son, Konoe Isao's, abilities, assassinating the director would be a piece of cake: but what happens after that?

"When we become stronger,"

"Once I've finalized the cooperation agreements with other countries, that will be the time for our Konoe family—no, the Fujiwara family—to regain its thousand-year glory!"

All of this can be accomplished by relying on the 'bone' ability that his son acquired.

Bone-Bone Fruit,

This is a Devil Fruit that Akizuki Ritsu herself created.

That's normal. There are hundreds of Devil Fruits in the world of One Piece. Luffy encountered not all of them, nor did he encounter the maximum number. For example, the 'Bomb-Bomb Fruit' would be incredibly weak and explosive in the hands of Crocodile's agents.

However, when used by the Rocks Pirates' top officer 'Gansui', it was able to defeat a powerful figure like Captain John in one move.

They even dared to launch a sneak attack on the Golden Lion.

Therefore, it's normal that there are other Devil Fruits that haven't appeared yet.

P.S.: Regardless of whether this Devil Fruit exists in future installments of One Piece, let's just consider it a cameo appearance by Kimimaro from the other series.
