Daemon posted a photo in the group.
The picture showed himself, handsome as ever, and Stussy, who appeared beautiful and elegant beside him.
In the background, the towering Gate of Justice was halfway open, showcasing the massive prison's spectacular sight.
Speaking of the Celestial Dragons' bloodline, it was an odd mix. There were those who looked entirely normal like Doflamingo or the Five Elders, but then there were others who resembled grotesque pig-like monsters.
Daemon, however, was quite pleased. He seemed to have inherited the finest appearance from Imu.
Because in the end, strength could be temporary, but looks? Those lasted a lifetime!
At the same time, in the chat group.
Sakura Tosaka: "Wow! It's huge! The prison looks like a massive castle!"
Esdeath: "So this is Impel Down, where countless legendary pirates are kept?"
Esdeath: "@Daemon Saint, can you do a live broadcast? I'm really curious about the powerhouses in the One Piece World."
Daemon: "Sure."
Daemon had a special fondness for Esdeath. Her character, her looks, and her abilities all stood out to him.
Not to mention, Esdeath was the first to acknowledge his status as a Celestial Dragon, making her hard not to develop a certain attachment to.
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "I'm not really into fighting, but this place looks like it could be a great setting for one of my stories."
Miyuki Uchiha: "!! Did you all notice the blonde beauty next to His Highness Daemon?!"
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Huh?"
Esdeath: "What's wrong? She doesn't seem particularly strong."
Yamamoto Mei: ".... Ignore her, she must be sick again."
Miyuki Uchiha: "Sick? You violent maniac!"
Miyuki Uchiha: "That's Stussy! The queen of Happy Street! Has my blonde beauty big sister fallen into your hands?"
Miyuki Uchiha: "@Daemon Saint, woo woo woo, Your Highness, you must be gentle with her! A beauty like Stussy shouldn't be treated roughly!"
Yamamoto Mei: "Sure enough... should've known you'd be a pervert. I think it's time for this chat group to get the travel feature, so you can go to One Piece and treat Stussy gently yourself!"
Sakura Tosaka: "I can't read everyone's messages anymore."
Kasumigaoka Utaha: ".... @Yamamoto Mei-san, there are kids in the group!"
Daemon: "....."
Good grief. Should've known, these girls were no less wild than him.
Esdeath: "Alright, enough about the men and women stuff! Let's focus!"
Esdeath: "@Daemon Saint, I can't wait! Please come meet me as soon as possible!"
Daemon: ".... Fine."
Daemon noticed the strange tone in Esdeath's words, but decided to switch on the live broadcast anyway, feeling curious.
[Group chat: Daemon has started the live broadcast, please choose whether to watch it or not.]
With that prompt, everyone instantly agreed.
The next moment...
Daemon and everything around him appeared in front of everyone's eyes like a movie.
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Wow, what a spectacular view..."
...
In the Slice of Life world, Kasumigaoka Utaha's ruby-colored eyes widened slightly.
Even though she'd seen the image of the Gate of Justice earlier in photos, the live broadcast made it much more imposing.
Yamamoto Mei, on the other hand, wasn't that impressed. She considered the strength of the One Piece world to be inferior to the world of Bleach, so she found it more curious than awe-inspiring.
Miyuki Uchiha's attention was entirely on Stussy.
Miyuki Uchiha: "Woo woo, Stussy, my Stussy! Have you really been trained harshly by Daemon?!"
Looking at the collapsed Stussy in Daemon's arms, her face still showing traces of exhaustion, it was clear to everyone that the Celestial Dragon and his beauty had shared more than a few private moments.
Normally, the group would've scolded Daemon for his behavior, but this time, no one seemed to care.
Yamamoto Mei: "Akainu, Magellan, Shiryu, and the old man who should be the previous Impel Down director who never appeared in the anime... right?"
Miyuki Uchiha: "Wait, are you saying that's who they are?"
Yamamoto Mei: "Yeah, roughly. But, realistically, how strong they are will depend on the specifics of the battle."
Esdeath: "I've heard you talk about the Admirals a lot, but how strong are they? How do they compare to me?"
Yamamoto Mei: "Well, if you hadn't received the 'God of War' power, you wouldn't stand a chance against them. But if you can freeze their time and space with your Mokbot Temo, you might just escape."
Esdeath: ".... How big is the gap?"
Miyuki Uchiha: "It's massive! People in the One Piece world are like health bar + physical strength monsters. The Admirals even have elemental powers. Unless you can beat them by sheer combat power or find a way to counter their elemental forms, it's tough!"
Sakura Tosaka: "That's so scary..."
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "I've got so much material for writing now! This other world is fascinating."
...
Back in the One Piece world.
Daemon, reading the group's discussion, couldn't help but agree.
Without a way to counter elementalization, the Admirals were indeed formidable.
Esdeath herself was a prime example.
Her abilities were no joke, but against an Admiral, she'd be obliterated.
It was a shame that the One Piece world had Haki and Seastone, while Bleach had even more powerful elemental Zanpakuto.
And Naruto... well, that world had the power of the Six Paths and natural energy.
Not to mention the other higher-tier worlds where people could destroy planets with a single punch.
So, yeah, Admirals might be powerful in the One Piece world... but they were nothing compared to the beings from other universes.
"Boom-"
The ship docked, and the waves rolled heavily against the sides.
"We've arrived at Impel Down, Daemon Saint," Stussy whispered softly from his arms, her tone now much gentler than before.
No wonder they said that to win a woman's heart, a certain... place was key. It seemed to hold some truth.
"Hmm," Daemon nodded, releasing her as he stepped off the ship.
Stussy, still swaying slightly, cast a resentful look at Daemon's back before following him quickly.
"Whoa-"
Magellan and Shiryu immediately dropped to one knee, not daring to look up at Daemon.
Akainu and Bone Dragon stood stoic, unflinching.
This level of respect was something the World Government reserved for the highest-ranked Admirals.
"Daemon Saint!" Akainu said, stepping forward, his voice deep and formal. "Vice Admiral Akainu reporting, please give your instructions!"
Daemon simply nodded. "Wait a moment."
Turning to the prison commissioner, the Bone Dragon, who stood behind them, Daemon flashed a gentle smile.
"Lieutenant Bone Dragon," Daemon said softly, "Would you be willing to sacrifice your life for the nobles of the world?"
