Miyuki Uchiha: "Pfft—"
Miyuki Uchiha: "I'm sorry, Sister Leader, I know I shouldn't laugh... but I really can't help it!"
Yamamoto Mei: "Honestly, the three ninjutsu you pulled aren't weak... but against a godslayer, they're completely useless. This luck is just..."
Jibril: "Oh dear, is this what a godslayer draws? How embarrassing. If it were us, the Exceed, we'd never have pulled something so low-level."
Tosaka Sakura: "I feel sorry for Sister Luo Hao~"
Luo Hao: "Hmph! Even low-level ninjutsu becomes devastating when wielded by me!"
Despite Luo Hao's confident words, it was clear to everyone: once again, her luck had betrayed her.
Ever since she'd acquired the 'Enhanced Furnace' ability from the chat group, Luo Hao had suffered countless overturns of fortune.
Fortunately, the group was filled with friends who teased out of affection rather than malice.
Still, Luo Hao's cheeks flushed red. Deep down, she had truly believed that a Godslayer's luck should be extraordinary...
Reality, however, had slapped her hard.
No, she couldn't accept this humiliation alone.
Luo Hao: "@Daemon — It's your turn to draw, isn't it?"
Daemon: "Yeah."
Frankly, in the vast world of Naruto, there were only a handful of things Daemon actually cared about:
The Rinnegan, the Rinne Sharingan, and the ancient abilities of the Otsutsuki clan.
If he pulled something like that, great.If not?It wasn't a big deal either.
After all, with the arsenal of treasures he already possessed, Daemon didn't lack power.
[Congratulations to group member Nairona Daemon Saint for drawing: Eight Inner Gates !]
[Congratulations to group member Nairona Daemon Saint for drawing: Senju Clan's Sage Physique!]
[Congratulations to group member Nairona Daemon Saint for drawing: Senju Clan's Sage Physique!]
[Duplicate rewards detected—merging...]
[Congratulations! Group member Nairona Daemon Saint has obtained: Enhanced Senju Sage Physique!]
Yamamoto Mei: "I—what?!"
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Ara ara, an Sage physique?"
Esdeath: "Looks like you've gotten even stronger."
Miyuki Uchiha: "No way! This isn't scientific!"
Miyuki Uchiha: "Eight Gates aside, that's whatever... but an enhanced version of the Senju Physique?!"
Miyuki Uchiha: "If I had even the basic version, I could flatten the entire ninja world by myself!"
Luo Hao: "This luck... I'm shutting myself up for real..."
Luo Hao: "Still, it seems Daemon's days of low stamina are finally over."
Daemon: ".... So my weak stamina has officially become black history now?"
Tosaka Sakura: "Congratulations, Brother Daemon! You'll finally be able to unleash your Noble Phantasms without collapsing!"
Jibril: "Pfft—wait, was your weakness really lack of stamina?"
Daemon: (expression darkening) "You'll find out just how much staying power I have when we fight."
Jibril: "Fufu, I'm looking forward to it. Your blood must taste especially sweet."
Jibril: "Don't worry—I'll even prepare 100 Senzu Beans for you. We can keep fighting... forever."
Erina Nakiri: "..."
Erina Nakiri: "Honestly, it sounds less like you two want to fight... and more like you're flirting."
Daemon couldn't help but chuckle to himself.
Somehow, he really liked sparring with people like Miyuki and Jibril—
Lively, full of energy, never boring.
Of course, that didn't mean they didn't deserve a proper lesson in love later.
As for the draws...
Daemon glanced at the rewards he had obtained:
Eight Inner Gates
Enhanced Senju Sage Physique
The Eight Inner Gates ... honestly, wasn't that valuable to him.
With his Noble Phantasm, Hercules' Belt, Daemon's strength and speed already surpassed the need for risky techniques like the Eight Gates.
Still—
More skills were always better than fewer.
Besides, now that he had an enhanced Sage physique, the usual self-destruction side-effects didn't matter anymore.
"Alright... let's fuse them."
Daemon accepted the rewards.
In the next instant—An overwhelming burst of vitality exploded from his body, filling every inch of the palace.
Trees and vines sprang up violently, their roots tearing through the marble floors, reaching toward the towering ceilings.
"What monstrous vitality..."
Daemon looked down at his hands, feeling the unimaginable surge of life energy coursing through him.
His physical strength had multiplied—
Not just by a little, but by twenty to thirty times!
Minor wounds would now heal instantly.
Severed limbs could likely regenerate in minutes.
Even the natural energy around him seemed drawn to his body, strengthening him without conscious effort.
"Zheng—"
Daemon concentrated—and black armor materialized over his right arm.It wasn't steel or iron.
It was Haki—Armament Haki—awakened naturally.
This draw... was beyond worth it.
It was a revolution.
Daemon, riding aboard the lavish ship reserved exclusively for Celestial Dragons, set course for the South Sea.
During the voyage, he made three calls:
First, to Akainu, ordering him to intercept Silver Rayleigh and Garp.
Second, to Stussy, telling her to continue monitoring Roger's wife, Portgas D. Rouge.
Third, to Morgans, the king of journalism, for a favor.
Morgans: "Daemon Saint! To what do I owe the pleasure?"
Daemon: "Simple."
Daemon leaned lazily against his chair, sipping an ice-cold drink handed by a maid.
"You know the Navy's been searching the South Sea for Roger's pregnant wife, right?"
Morgans: "Of course! The whole world knows. I even heard the Golden Lion is heading there."
Daemon: (smirking) "The Golden Lion's nothing but a sideshow."
Daemon's voice turned cold, sending shivers even through the Den Den Mushi.
"I've prepared a little... toy. I want to test it out."
"And Portgas D. Rouge... will be my first target."
"If she doesn't kneel and submit at my feet—"
Daemon's golden eyes gleamed with cruelty.
"I'll wipe an entire island off the map."
"I want the world to understand—there's no happy ending for pirates."
"No matter how beautiful you are... no matter how pure you pretend to be..."
"I'll kill you."
"And then I'll thoroughly bully your wives and children."
Daemon's smile was razor-sharp.
"This world doesn't need a Pirate King."
"It only needs one master—
The Celestial Dragon, Nairona Daemon."
