As expected, as Shinra finished his battle, he rested in the hospital once again, but unlike before, he wasn't weak, especially when he had taken and robbed the vitality he gained from the Meireki Giant Kaiju.
Still, while this Kaiju was powerful, it lacked potential since it had reached its limit, and it was impossible to grow stronger, unlike the Kaiju No. 9 that could merge with others to grow stronger.
Merging.
This was a simple ability, but it was powerful, as one could grow stronger as they absorbed someone else's power into their bodies.
Frankly, he could have taken Kafka's Kaiju No. 8, Hoshina's talent in close combat, or Mina's talent in long-range combat, but as expected, he couldn't take the abilities of others that he was familiar with or close to.
Be someone who could betray his friends and lovers for his ambition, Shinra didn't want to become such a person, like those who had made his life into a hell in the world of Naruto.
The only time that Shinra didn't lack was a time, so instead of being greedy and impatient, he should grow stronger steadily, in a stable yet sure way.
However, when he saw a chance to grow, he wouldn't hesitate, and because of that, he had to go to another world after this, and naturally, his next destination was the world of One Piece.
It might be possible for him to go back to the world of Naruto, but he knew well that he was still weak against illusions, mental attacks, and strange abilities that existed in the world of Naruto, and unless he improved his survivability, escape methods, and defense to stay alive from those strange techniques in the world of Naruto, he wouldn't return.
However, with how he was, it was possible for him to grow stronger easily in the world of Naruto, especially with the abilities that he gained from the Kaiju No. 9 and the Meireki Giant Kaiju.
Merging, shapeshifting, Kaiju creation, Kaiju control, healing power, energy shield, an energy attack, and a camouflage shield.
Those were the abilities he gained from the Kaiju No. 9.
The merging was obvious, and that was to merge those he wanted inside his body, making them part of his power. It was quite similar to the Eye of Usurp, but unlike the Eye of Usurp, which could be done from a distance and as long as his eyes saw his target, he could take their power, but for the merging, his target had to be within a close distance, by his side, or even inside him.
Frankly, this power was unique, and it was also part of the shapeshifting ability of the Kaiju No. 9, which allowed it to detach part of its body, like how it shot a bullet of flesh, duplicated itself, and even metamorphosed into another form of those that it had fused inside its body.
With this ability alone, it was worth it to come to this world, but the Kaiju No. 9 had many other powers, such as Kaiju creation and Kaiju control, which enabled it to create a swarm of Kaiju that attacked the Tachikawa Base and the Shinagawa City previously.
There was even the healing power, which made it able to regenerate itself no matter how much damage it had received as long as its core wasn't destroyed, and it could also go beyond by giving it the power to resurrect.
Shinra hadn't tried the power of the resurrection, but beside the Kaiju, he wondered whether the power of resurrection could be used on humans, too.
If it were possible, then it would be amazing, he thought.
Still, this wasn't the end, as Kaiju No. 9 could also manipulate energy, which allowed it to shoot a blast of energy or create a force field, enabling it to defend against an attack. It might be simple, but as long as one's energy was enormous, just a blast of energy was enough to destroy everything.
'Lastly...'
Camouflage space.
Frankly, Shinra was surprised when he gained this ability, never expecting that the Kaiju No. 9 had such an ability to create areas that cut off radio frequencies and vital signs, causing people from the outside unable to enter or know their whereabouts while trapping their prey from escaping unless they choose to do so.
It was a great ability to hide, and it made him able to hide from the detection of others, especially a ninja, who was good at tracking, he thought.
Still, beside the Kaiju No. 9, he also got his hands on the abilities of the Meireki Giant Kaiju, but then again, except for being known as the most powerful, its ability was quite limited since more or less, it was about the same as other Kaiju, which was a monstrous physical ability and an energy blast, and he also didn't have much of an expectation until he discovered two unique abilities of this Kaiju.
Necromancy and Runes.
Those abilities were unexpected, but it was a good ability regardless.
The necromancy was the ability that allowed this Kaiju to make all the corpses of Kaiju all over Japan come back alive, resurrected, and bring terror to the world.
On the other hand, the runes, while Shinra wasn't sure of the full capabilities of this ability, could be used for a variety of functions, such as causing an explosion, but he felt that it had further potentials that hadn't been tapped yet, so let's see how it goes later.
Regardless, in this world, for him, who could control the Kaiju that ravaged humanity, could do anything.
Or rather, the moment he gained the power to control the Kaiju, he made the Kaiju unable to attack all of his properties and just attacked the others.
Yes, even if the Kaiju No. 9 and the Meireki Giant Kaiju had been defeated, many Kaiju still emerged and ravaged this world.
As for when those Kaijus would stop appearing, Shinra wasn't sure, and currently, except for protecting the people that he loved and his assets, he couldn't do anything else, so he knew well that he had to grow stronger, especially when there was a high chance that a strong Kaiju might appear.
Regardless, his time in this world was about to end, and Shinra was about to leave for another world, but—
"S-Shinra..."
"Yes?"
Kikoru held her belly and said nervously, "I-I seem to be pregnant."
"..." Shinra.
On the other hand, Mina also joined him in his room, under the confused gaze of Kikoru, who had just announced her pregnancy.
"Do you need Shinra for something, Commander Ashiro?"
While Kikoru was confused by the sudden emergence of Mina, she still greeted her politely until—
"Um... Shinra, I am pregnant," Mina said with a blush as she held her belly.
"..." Kikoru.
Shinra took a deep breath and hugged the two of them. "Thank you, you two!"
Yet, while he tried to pacify the situation in his own way, without a doubt, he was beaten so thoroughly by many.
Fortunately, his stay wasn't long, and he had decided to take a trip to another world, returning to the world of One Piece.
Standing on the island where he had gained the power of the Bane Bane no Mi and tasted the feeling of defeat from the user of the Hana Hana no Mi, Nico Robin, Shinra took a deep breath, savoring the salty taste and fresh air of the ocean.
"Now, what should I do?"
In this world, to grow stronger, what path should he choose?
