Dimensional Chat Group: Speed-o'-Light

[Wants to Hug Luo Feng's Leg]: It's Diamond Giant Ape! Not just some monkey! The transformation from the Devil Fruit is definitely strong—I estimate that in that form, I could be at an entry-level War General's strength.

[Wants to Hug Luo Feng's Leg]: But I wanted to keep my transformation ability as a trump card. Plus, as a Zoan-type user, my base physique has improved. I wanted to see if I could pass the assessment without transforming.

[Zhang Sanfeng]: Young friend, do not be discouraged. Remember the virtue of perseverance. As heaven moves vigorously, so should a gentleman strive unceasingly.

[Wants to Hug Luo Feng's Leg]: Ugh, thank you for the wisdom, Master.

[Tony Stark]: Wow, folks, your favorite and most charming Mr. Stark is back!

[Wants to Hug Luo Feng's Leg]: Oh, it's you. By the way, Kizaru hasn't shown up in a while either…

[Tony Stark]: You mean Kizaru? That guy left without even telling me!

[Fubuki]: @Tony Stark The bag is nice, but please don't put your signed photos inside!

[Ai Haibara]: Wait, what signed photos? Did that guy seriously put his own autographed pictures in the bag?

[Fubuki]: You didn't check? This is the first time I've met someone so narcissistic!

[Ai Haibara]: No, I was in class when I got the package. Then a bunch of idiots dragged me into a detective game…

[Tony Stark]: Why? Come on, didn't you all notice how incredibly charming I am?

[Wants to Hug Luo Feng's Leg]: Ahem. Rich? Definitely. But as for charm… that's subjective. Tony, you're from 3D—don't compete with 2D characters in looks.

[Ai Haibara]: Just a friendly reminder: While my actual age and mental maturity are fully adult, my current body is still that of an elementary schooler. Messing with minors is a crime.

[Tony Stark]: No way are you an elementary schooler! You can't fool me—Little Tony never lies. It tells me you're at least eighteen, and that you've got a great figure!

[Kizaru]: @Tony Stark Sorry, man. You were still passed out when I left. By the way, the pool party was fantastic. Next time, I'll invite you to a parade on Pleasure Street.

[Wants to Hug Luo Feng's Leg]: Holy—! Kizaru-sama! Clings to leg and won't let go.jpg

[Wants to Hug Luo Feng's Leg]: Boss, I want in on the pool party too! And I definitely want to visit Pleasure Street! Please, take me along!

[Ai Haibara]: A bunch of perverts…

[Tony Stark]: I'm really looking forward to it. Women from another world, huh? By the way, are they all, like, two or three meters tall like you?

[Kizaru]: No, most people are about the same height as you. Of course, there are special cases, like the Tontatta Tribe and the Giants.

[Tony Stark]: Whoa, like Lilliput and Brobdingnag from Gulliver's Travels?

[Ai Haibara]: I've never seen Kizaru's world, but it's obvious that's not the case. *Gulliver's Travels* didn't have anything as magical as Devil Fruits.

[Tony Stark]: Sounds exciting. Once my Iron Man suit is finished, I have to visit your world!

[Ding! Welcome, Esdeath, to the Dimensional Chat Group!]

Just as everyone was chatting, a large notification suddenly popped up in the chat.

Meanwhile, in Another World...

Inside a fortress standing tall amidst a frozen wasteland, a breathtaking woman named Esdeath sat atop an ice throne, resting her chin on one hand. Her gaze, cold and emotionless, lingered on the strange object that had suddenly appeared before her.

She had long, sky-blue hair cascading down to her knees and wore a pure white military mini-dress paired with thigh-high boots. Despite the freezing climate, she showed no signs of discomfort.

"What is this? Are you trying to resist?"

Esdeath's tone was indifferent. Kneeling before her—or rather, groveling at her feet—were the officers of the former Northern Fortress.

Due to uprisings among the northern tribes, the Empire had dispatched Esdeath to suppress the rebellion.

Upon her arrival, she had mercilessly executed a group of incompetent officers who had failed to subdue the enemy. Before she could fully take control of the remaining personnel, a strange floating box had appeared in front of her.

Given that she had just executed several fortress officers, Esdeath had every reason to suspect that this was some kind of desperate trick from those still unwilling to submit.

To think that even after witnessing her power and methods, someone still had the audacity to resist!

Far from being angered, Esdeath found herself intrigued. She was eager to discipline the culprit—preferably with a whip and a variety of torture devices.

"Mercy, General!"

"We won't disobey you again!"

"Please don't kill me…!"

The surviving officers saw the smile on Esdeath's face and nearly wet themselves in fear, frantically kowtowing on the ground.

In less than a day, they had been completely terrified by this newly arrived Imperial general. No matter their background, past achievements, or even if they had once served under Esdeath herself, she executed them all without hesitation.

Some officers had attempted to resist, but in front of General Esdeath, all struggles were utterly futile.

Dozens of renowned northern swordsmen and mercenaries were defeated in an instant. Even hundreds of fully armed elite soldiers were easily crushed.

The more they resisted, the deeper they sank into absolute despair!

Esdeath almost hoped they would struggle more—it made their suffering all the more enjoyable.

"General Esdeath… what do you mean…?"

Noticing that her expression was becoming increasingly impatient, the officers trembled even more. One of them, a man named Liver, finally sensed that something was off and cautiously spoke.

Liver, once an Imperial general himself, had fallen from grace after offending a high-ranking minister. After being rescued by Esdeath, he became her most loyal subordinate.

Now, he served as one of her Three Beasts, wielding the Teigu known as "Water Dragon's Possession: Black Marlin."

"Can't you see it? This thing right here…"

Esdeath raised an eyebrow, showing slight interest when her subordinates all denied seeing anything unusual.

[Kobayashi]: Hello! Welcome, newcomer! This is the Dimensional Chat Group. You can try sending a message—whether by voice, text, or even just thinking it.

[Tony Stark]: Huh, so this is what it looked like when I joined?

[Ai Haibara]: You didn't say a word when you joined. We all thought you died or something.

[Fubuki]: Haibara-chan, don't talk to a creep who has weird thoughts about little girls!

[Tony Stark]: I told you, there's no way she's actually a kid!

[Random Guy Who Wants to Hug Luo Feng's Thigh]: HOLY CRAP! ESDEATH?!

[Ai Haibara]: As expected of Police Dog Man—you identified the newcomer fast.
