Chapter 2: The Stance of a Celestial Dragon.
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Finally spoken, Newcomer-kun!"
Uchiha Miyuki: "Isn't it normal for people to be able to talk while they're alive?"
Yamamoto Genryūsai: "That's right, it's just like how 'people die if they are killed'~"
Tohsaka Sakura: "... I don't know why, but I always feel weird when I see that sentence."
Uchiha Miyuki: "Like Diablo? 'If you are killed, you die?' If there really is such a good thing, please give me a quick death!"
Esdeath: "Boring! I just want to know if the newcomer's world is to my liking. I hope it's not a boring everyday world like Kasumigaoka Utaha's!"
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "What a poisonous tongue, you Ice Cube Woman! At least I think that compared to your corroded world, the world I live in is a hundred... no, a thousand times better!"
Yamamoto Genryūsai: "... Shut up, you guys!"
Obviously, Yamamoto Genryūsai still held a lot of authority in this chat group. She first scolded the others for being casual and unreliable, and then addressed Roy directly.
Yamamoto Genryūsai: "Brother Roy, I can call you that, right?"
Roy raised his eyebrows and replied, "Yes."
If this were in the Pirate World, ordinary people certainly couldn't address him like this. Even Marine Admirals wouldn't have the qualification to speak so casually.
But as a fellow transmigrator, he could consider her a 'heroine,' and he was willing to give her some face, especially considering the top-tier combat power of the Bleach World, which could arguably crush the Pirate World. The other party was very likely a relative of the Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13, so her status was not inferior to his own as a Celestial Dragon.
Yamamoto Genryūsai: "So, Brother Roy, have you traveled to the world of Pirates?"
Nerona Saint Roy: "Yes."
Yamamoto Genryūsai: "That..."
Nerona Saint Roy: "You guessed it. I have transmigrated as a Celestial Dragon."
He didn't bother to hide his identity. He knew that one lie needed to be covered up with countless others, and Roy remained very calm about his reality.
With his calm admission, the chat went silent for a few seconds before exploding.
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Is it really the Celestial Dragons in the world of One Piece that they talked about?"
Tohsaka Sakura: "The World Nobles, the Gods, the descendants of the Creators who enslaved the entire world for 800 years... It's scary!"
Esdeath: "Hmph~ Is it really that chaotic Pirate World? Very good! I'm excited! When the Group Crossing function is turned on in the future, I must go there and fight hard!"
Uchiha Miyuki: "Damn! The War Maniac is off again..."
Uchiha Miyuki: "By the way, the scum are just the Celestial Dragons in the original work, right? Roy should be a transmigrator from China, so he won't be the same as those guys."
Yamamoto Genryūsai: "Indeed, you shouldn't look at others with prejudice."
Yamamoto Genryūsai: "Besides, even among the Celestial Dragons who are mostly garbage, there are elites like Im, the Five Elders, and the Holy Knights. There are also those with the heart of a Saint, like Doflamingo's parents. Not all Celestial Dragons are full of malice!"
Tohsaka Sakura: "That's true... I'm sorry! I was biased against you. I'm really sorry! @Nerona Saint Roy."
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Hmm... To be honest, it would be a blessing if you crossed into the world of One Piece as a 'good' Celestial Dragon. Maybe you could make that rotten world better."
Yamamoto Genryūsai: "That's right, the impact of a transmigrator on the world is absolutely massive!"
Esdeath: "Hey, boring kindness. It is simply a matter of course for the weak to be dominated and tortured by the strong."
Uchiha Miyuki: "Woo woo, I don't care about the Celestial Dragons! @Nerona Saint Roy, Brother, is the Pirate Empress your slave now...?"
Yamamoto Genryūsai: "..."
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Ara~ Fortunately, it wasn't you who crossed into the Pirate World to become a Celestial Dragon."
Tohsaka Sakura: "...Truly worthy of Sister Miyuki."
Yamamoto Genryūsai: "You're hopeless!"
Pirate World, Holy Land.
Roy looked at the chat history with interest. He had been in the Pirate World for more than a month, and he hadn't experienced something this amusing in a long time.
Naturally, he saw the discussion and worry of the group members regarding his identity.
The World Nobles, the Celestial Dragons.
Because One Piece was so well-known, even among the countless anime works in his previous life, the number of people who despised this group was definitely near the top. After all, the Celestial Dragons were truly too inhuman.
And unlike normal anime villains, most Celestial Dragons didn't have any lofty goals, didn't have good looks, and were as stupid as pigs, so naturally, they had zero popularity.
Of course, it would be a bit hypocritical to say that Roy was burdened by the bad reputation of the Celestial Dragons.
Whatever amount of "Heavenly Tribute" gold he wanted could be spent freely; princesses and queens could be used as slaves at will; and he lived a gorgeous life that mortals couldn't even imagine...
In the month since he traveled to the Pirate World, he had never rejected these things. He enjoyed them all willingly and with great pleasure.
This world was conquered by the ancestors of the Celestial Dragons, so the Celestial Dragons should be born above mortals!
Any beneficiary of the system who is hostile to their own class is a traitor! They are betrayers!
As for whether to pretend to be a "good person" to deceive everyone in the chat group, Roy made a decision quickly.
Instead of lying constantly—knowing that sooner or later there would be a slip-up in the future and he would be revealed as a two-faced villain—he preferred to show a calm, honest stance from the beginning.
...
In the chat group, the women were still discussing the Pirate World and the Celestial Dragons.
Although they were natives of other worlds, they had long heard about the world of One Piece from Uchiha Miyuki and Yamamoto Genryūsai.
Esdeath: "The throne was laid down by the ancestors of the Celestial Dragons. There is nothing wrong with the descendants being powerful. It is natural for the strong to bully the weak!"
Esdeath: "Of course, if one day the Celestial Dragons are overthrown by someone stronger, it will only be because they became weak."
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Hmm... While I don't like the Ice Cube's contempt for the weak, she also has a point. No matter which country in any world, regime change is full of darkness, blood, and carnage."
Yamamoto Genryūsai: "Actually, if you think about it carefully, it's just like the capitalists and chaebols in my previous life. Sucking the blood of the people at the bottom and acting with prestige... they might seem kinder than the Celestial Dragons, but what is the difference in essence?"
Yamamoto Genryūsai: "Not to mention, our Gotei 13 is the ruling class of the Soul Society. The lives of many souls in the Rukongai are not happier than those of the civilians in the Pirate World, so naturally, we are not qualified to point fingers at the Celestial Dragons."
Uchiha Miyuki: ".... Sure enough, I still just want to fall in love with fragrant young ladies. The rest is too complicated. As long as I am happy~"
Tohsaka Sakura: "Sakura is shivering... I don't know anything at the age of 6, but my family seems to be noble... too."
Esdeath: "Huh... In the end, the group didn't actually reject the Celestial Dragons at all?"
...
Pirate World, Holy Land.
To be honest, Roy was a little surprised, but the result was also somewhat expected.
Esdeath: The Imperial General, a brutal warlord who killed hundreds of thousands of people and is forever thirsty for bloody war.
Tohsaka Sakura: The Magus family she belongs to doesn't treat ordinary humans as human beings at all.
Uchiha Miyuki: The Uchiha clan is arrogant by nature, and they plan to rebel in the future.
Yamamoto Genryūsai: She is basically a top-tier "official second generation" in the Bleach World.
In other words, there is only one person in the group who can really be regarded as an ordinary civilian: Kasumigaoka Utaha.
"I really didn't expect it... I thought I'd be preached to."
Sighing softly, Roy found a visual Den Den Mushi and posted some photos into the chat group.
Nerona Saint Roy: "Image
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Huh, Mr. World Noble is still there? I thought he would have closed the group a long time ago to go enjoy himself."
Yamamoto Genryūsai: "These photos..."
These photos were taken by Roy using Stussy previously.
They depicted gorgeous palaces and delicacies unimaginable to ordinary people, as well as countless pictures of rare beauties falling to their knees, willingly offering everything to Roy.
Roy didn't explain anything. By just sending these photos, he was already showing his attitude to everyone in the chat group.
He enjoyed it all willingly.
Uchiha Miyuki: "This... It's so enviable! It's too extravagant! It's so gorgeous! Allow me to call you His Highness Roy! Can you share half of your money and beauties?"
Esdeath: "Hmph~ I see. It seems that you, the Celestial Dragon, should be very much to my liking!"
Tohsaka Sakura: "... It's a little scary, but Brother Roy's appearance is very handsome. It's completely different from the ugly Celestial Dragons that Sister Miyuki described."
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Tsk, I have to say, he is really a dangerous man who calmly faces all desires. He deserves to be a World Noble gentleman."
Yamamoto Genryūsai: "I think I understand your position, Mr. Roy."
Yamamoto Genryūsai: "Maybe it's not a good thing for the people of the Pirate World, but as members of the chat group, we are destined to have a closer relationship with you. Unrelated strangers are just strangers, after all."
Yamamoto Genryūsai: "So, have you already received your 'Gold Finger' (Cheat System)?"
Roy was stunned.
Nerona Saint Roy: "My Gold Finger? Isn't it this chat group?"
Yamamoto Genryūsai: "Haha! Of course not! It's this. Image"
In the picture, it showed exactly what Roy had just seen: the Newcomer Reward available to everyone in the chat group.
Yamamoto Genryūsai: "Secretly tell you, the Gold Finger that the Uchiha got in the chat group is the Perfect Goddess Cultivation System. She may eventually become the perfect woman who surpasses all your slave collections!"
