I, Uchiha Hikaru, have joined the chat group.

Chapter 189 Offline Meeting in the World of Akame ga Kill!

[Brand: ...That's the general situation.]

[Brand: Because Miss Hikari defeated the Empire's commander-in-chief, we were able to win this war with relatively few casualties. We have now successfully entered the capital and are clearing out the remaining stubborn forces in the capital, as well as the bandits and outlaws in the surrounding areas...]

Bulma: Hmm...it sounds like you guys have done a lot lately.

[Yongdai-mei: Indeed. Based on what Mr. Brand said earlier, I thought this war would last for several years like the Fourth Shinobi World War, but I didn't expect it to be quelled in just one or two months. Ms. Hikari's strength is indeed vastly different now; she's probably approaching the level of Madara Uchiha back in the day.]

[Bulma: But that Imperial General Esdeath is pretty amazing too, she actually managed to fight Hikari to that extent... By the way, is this general male or female? Why does it sound like a woman's name?]

Brand: It was indeed a woman, and a year younger than me...

To my shame, I used to think the gap between us wasn't that big, and that even if I couldn't beat her in a direct fight, I could at least escape unscathed... But now it seems that if I really faced her, I'd probably be dead for sure.

"Um……"

Bulma, who was in the world of Inuyasha, pondered for a moment and tagged Uchiha Hikaru.

[Bulma @ Anonymous: Hikaru, you've been keeping other women on the side behind our backs!]

[Anonymous: ...Huh?]

Recently.

Brand had already briefly recounted the events that had occurred in the Akatsuki world, excluding the parts that involved classified information, in the chat group.

Minato Namikaze's focus was mainly on the macro level; he seemed to be thinking about whether there was anything the ninja world could learn from or refer to in this war between the Empire and the Revolutionary Army.

Bulma, Yamato, and the others focused primarily on the battle between Uchiha Hikaru and Esdeath.

Because neither Uchiha Hikaru nor Brand started a group live stream that day, they could only imagine what happened based on the text descriptions in the group.

[Oni-hime: Is that woman's ability related to ice? I remember there's a strong fighter in the Navy who's good at using ice and snow in battle; he's a user of the Ice-Ice Fruit, I think his name is Ao-ju or something...]

[Yotsuya Miko: ...You mean Aokiji, right? I think that name appeared in the One Piece manga that Hikari uploaded.]

[Oni-hime: Yes, that's the one!]

[Oni-hime: My father, Kaido, also mentioned this name. It seems he fought against him before; he's a very powerful guy... I wonder how he compares to Esdeath?]

Ok……

Uchiha Hikaru was also very curious about this question.

Perhaps one day, when the opportunity arises, I can take Esdeath to the world of One Piece to see what kind of power the three admirals and the four emperors possess...

And now...

[Anonymous @ Bulma: Bulma, do you have time to come over in the next few days? I'd like to show you something.]

Bulma: Hmm?

……

Bulma requests entry into Brand's world.

Erii requests to enter Brand's world.

That morning.

After obtaining Brand's permission, Bulma first traveled from her own Inuyasha world to this world.

Then there's Erii.

Since her trip to Otogakure with Uchiha Hikaru, Erii has been staying home, busy chatting in group chats, watching anime, and playing games. She's been getting restless for a while. So as soon as she saw the message Uchiha Hikaru posted in the group chat, she tagged her immediately and rushed over.

This time, her attire was relatively neat; it was the red and white shrine maiden outfit filled with rubber ducks, plastic figurines, and game consoles, with a long sword at her waist, creating a sense of incongruity that was both ancient and modern.

Bulma and Brand were both seeing Erii for the first time, and they were somewhat surprised.

"Huh, Erii is a shrine maiden too? Just like Kikyo! I've heard Hikaru mention you before, but I never imagined you'd be so cute in person..."

"...I wouldn't call her a shrine maiden, it's just a habit of hers."

Uchiha Hikaru chimed in, explaining, "The Dragon World doesn't have monsters or ghosts. All the strange phenomena are created by dragons and hybrids. And in the Shintoism of that world, almost all the gods mentioned are outstanding human hybrids from history... So Erii, this 'shrine maiden,' is quite different from Kikyo."

In fact, Uchiha Hikaru herself also wore a shrine maiden outfit.

It was during her last trip to the Dragon Raja world to participate in the "Cute Girl Dress-Up Play" activity; she even took a set of private photos there...

However, this kind of thing is still a bit embarrassing, so there's no need to tell Bulma and the others.

the other side.

Erii obediently held up her little notebook, bowed, and greeted, "Hello, Bulma-neechan and Mr. Brand, I'm Erii."

"Um……"

Actually, Erii is probably a little older than Bulma.

However, because she is mentally young and looks a bit childish, it doesn't seem too strange for her to call Bulma "older sister".

In addition...

Another group member, unable to contain himself any longer, also wanted to come and take a look.

[Oni-hime: Um... can I come over and meet you guys? We've been chatting in the group for so long, but I've never actually seen Minato-san, Hikari-san, Kikyo, or Bulma-san's faces.]

[Brand: I don't really care, but didn't Miss Hikari say you were wearing handcuffs that could explode?]

[Oni-hime: ...I think there shouldn't be any problem, right? If it really comes down to it, I can use Armament Haki to block it...]

Brand: This...

"What do you think, Miss Hikari?"

Faced with Brand's renewed request for his opinion, Uchiha Hikaru scratched his head: "Okay, I guess. Although I was originally planning to go and check on her first..."

After a brief discussion...

Uchiha Hikaru summoned the Flying Nimbus and led Bulma and her group away from the capital to a deserted hill on the outskirts of the city.

Then the Blood Jade Barrier was activated, protecting Bulma and Erii within it.

He then nodded, allowing Brand to approve Yamato's application to enter.

A flash of white light followed.

A tall figure wearing a Hannya mask, sea stone handcuffs, carrying a spiked club, and dressed in a sleeveless, form-fitting kimono appeared in the world of Akame ga Kill!

"...So high!"

Bulma tilted her head slightly, opened her eyes wide, and exclaimed in surprise.

Brand and Erii, standing next to them, had the same expression.

As for Uchiha Hikaru...

She did know that the races in the pirate world were different from those in the ordinary world.

but……

When she saw Yamato, standing 2.63 meters tall with a pair of red devil horns on her head, appear before her, she couldn't help but gasp, subconsciously imagining the size of Whitebeard and Kaido—

According to the One Piece setting, these two are both giants standing six or seven meters tall. Even Yamato, standing next to them, only reaches their waists, let alone Uchiha Hikaru, who is less than 1.6 meters tall...

"Wow, is this another world?"

Yamato paused for a moment, then widened his eyes in surprise as he looked around: "Huh, are you Uchiha Hikaru-senpai from the group...?"

"Shh-"

Uchiha Hikaru raised a finger, gesturing for silence: "We can talk about pleasantries later, use Armament Haki now!"

"Ah... okay!"

Yamato responded without hesitation and then used his Haki.

From an observer's perspective, one could see that a layer of black, like the color of black iron, began to condense on Yamato's body.

then……

boom--!!!

Before Yamato could even cover his entire body with Armament Haki, a loud bang was heard, and scorching flames erupted, instantly engulfing Yamato's figure.

"?!"

"This bomb is actually real..."

Under the astonished gazes of Bulma and the others, the firelight and smoke gradually dissipated, revealing Yamato's figure once more.

Compared to a moment ago, Yamato now looked quite disheveled. His two arms, which were handcuffed, were a bloody mess, and there were burn marks on his hair and clothes... After all, Armament Haki can only cover the surface of the body and cannot cover the clothes as well, so from the burnt and torn parts of his kimono, you can vaguely see some of the outline of his body underneath.

"..."

As the only man present, Brand immediately turned his back and averted his gaze.

Uchiha Hikaru breathed a sigh of relief, released the Blood Jade Barrier, and then walked over to hand Yamato half a Senzu Bean.

"Eat it, it can heal your wounds."

"...Whoa!!"

After standing there stunned for a moment, Yamato suddenly hugged Uchiha Hikaru tightly, sobbing loudly with snot and tears streaming down her face: "I thought he was just bluffing me, I never imagined there would actually be a bomb... How could there be such a father, trying to kill his own daughter!"

"...I understand the logic, but could you please let me go first...?"

Compared to Yamato, Uchiha Hikari's figure was too petite, and for a moment she couldn't break free. She could only be held tightly to Yamato's chest, and said in a muffled voice.

Yamato doesn't have the habit of wearing underwear.

At the same time, she is a well-developed woman with enormous breasts, comparable to Tsunade.

So, Uchiha Hikaru was now almost half-buried in the cleavage of Yamato's chest. As the latter wailed, he could clearly feel the two large, warm mounds... It wasn't too uncomfortable, but it felt a little strange.

In the end, it was Bulma who cautiously came over and offered a few words of comfort, which helped Yamato calm down from the grief of being "betrayed" by his father.

Uchiha Hikaru took the opportunity to break free from in front of her, rummaged through the super glue and pulled out a sheet to hand over to Yamato so that she could cover herself.

There's no way around it; for this demon princess who's only three meters tall, ordinary human clothes simply don't fit her. They'll probably have to be custom-made.

the other side.

Erii looked at Yamato thoughtfully, then tugged at Hikaru's sleeve and held up her notebook: "So, what Hikaru likes is someone like Yamato, with a larger 'body' like that?"

Uchiha Hikaru paused for a moment, then sighed somewhat helplessly: "...Have you been secretly reading those manga you shouldn't be reading lately?"

Previously, Hikaru Uchiha had tried to explain some physiological knowledge to Erii, but it didn't seem to be very helpful...

Coincidentally, Yamato also has a severe lack of physiological knowledge. Due to her childhood experiences, she has always identified as male, and even did something ridiculous in the original work, such as going to a hot spring with Luffy and his crew...

Since we're here...

I'll talk to Bulma about it later and maybe we can find some time to give them both some extra lessons...

Uchiha Hikaru thought to himself.

There are now five group members present, accounting for half of the total number of people in the chat group, making it a fairly large-scale face-to-face meeting.

Apart from Uchiha Hikaru, who had visited almost everyone's world, the others, including Bulma who joined the group earliest, were meeting Erii and the others offline for the first time, so it was naturally a bit novel for them.

After chatting and exchanging pleasantries for a while...

Bulma seemed to remember something and began looking around curiously: "By the way, Hikari, where's that Esdeath guy?"

"She's not here..."

This is inevitable.

The arrival of Bulma, Erii, and the others involves the chat group and matters from other worlds, which are not suitable for outsiders to know. Although Esdeath is nominally Uchiha Hikaru's "subordinate," she has only recently been recruited, so it's best to keep these secrets to her for now.

not to mention……

Hikaru Uchiha has already assigned Esdeath a mission, and she should be on her way to carry it out by now.

"...Anyway, let me show you around the capital first, and I'll also tell Bulma about the 'Supreme Throne'."

That's right.

What Uchiha Hikaru wanted Bulma to see was the "Supreme Throne" beneath the palace.

While the existence of these Imperial Arms isn't exactly "scientific," the process by which they were forged is traceable. The Empire is unable to produce such weapons due to the loss of craftsmanship and the extinction of artisans, but for a top scientist like Bulma with exceptional talent, this isn't always the case.

After all, Bulma is someone who was able to understand and modify Namek's "faster-than-light spaceship" in just a few months.

The same applies to Imperial Arms. Furthermore, I could exchange ideas with Dr. Fashion, who is also researching Imperial Arms, and see if we can spark any scientific insights…

"it is good."

Bulma responded and, together with Erii and Yamato, boarded the Flying Nimbus, then followed Uchiha Hikaru towards the Imperial Capital.

……

the other side.

Donghai County.

A massive teleportation array appeared.

Uchiha Hikaru and Esdeath appeared on the outskirts of a coastal city.

To be precise, the Uchiha Hikari here is her true form.

now.

Uchiha Hikaru lowered his head, flipping through the "World Encyclopedia: Longo Longo" that he had just obtained from the Revolutionary Army:

"So this is how this Imperial Arms is used...?"
