Chapter 64: New Members Join the Group
Kenji and the others briefly introduced themselves.
"It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Himeko, the navigator of the Astral Express," Himeko said with an elegant smile. "I hope March-chan hasn't caused you any trouble."
Dan Heng remained silent. Stelle pretended to think. March 7th shot them a warning look.
Does being an airhead count?
"Ms. Ruan Mei, did Herta ask for your help?" Himeko asked.
"No, Herta wouldn't ask me to help with such a small matter," Ruan Mei shook her head. Geniuses had their pride. A few minions of Destruction... Herta wouldn't stoop to ask for help with that.
"This is a Coconut Coffee. A welcoming gift for you all," Kenji said, taking out a few brown coconuts from his small space. (Capture Level: 3)
Hearing the word "coffee," Himeko's curiosity was piqued. "Is it coffee in a coconut shell?"
"No, it grows on a tree just like this. It's all-natural and pollution-free."
At his words, Himeko and the others were a little surprised. It was the first time they had seen such a fruit.
"I've just brewed some coffee. Please, have a cup."
Himeko kindly offered Kenji a cup of coffee. It had a rich, fragrant aroma.
March 7th's face was filled with horror. Dan Heng continued to remain silent. The first time he had drunk it, he had genuinely felt like he was about to be reincarnated. Himeko's coffee... was not something a human could drink.
Kenji hesitated. Was Himeko's coffee really as bad as the internet claimed? It smelled fine.
YOLO. Let's do it. I'll taste it for all the netizens out there.
"Gulp, gulp—"
Kenji gritted his teeth and downed it in one go.
Dan Heng was a little impressed. This guy is a madman. Even they had to take a long break after just one sip.
"!"
Kenji's eyes widened, and his body shuddered. For a moment, he thought he saw his great-grandmother.
The incredibly thick coffee entered his mouth, and with great difficulty, slid down his esophagus into his stomach. Then, it was as if a bomb had gone off. His stomach churned, and he was hit with waves of convulsions.
Bitter, sour...
This was liquid torture. A jolt shot straight to his head. There was no pleasant aftertaste. The complex flavor lingered in his mouth for a long, long time.
Damn, that's strong.
If Furina had taken a sip, she probably would have passed out on the spot. If his stomach could talk, it would be saying, "Hey, mouth! What the hell did you just eat?"
Damage Knocking.
Kenji tapped his stomach, sealing away the mysterious damage. If Jiro knew his technique was being used for this, he would probably be at a loss for whether to laugh or cry.
"Thank you for the treat," Kenji said, taking a deep breath and gritting his teeth. He had been careless. He had underestimated the lethality of Himeko's coffee.
"Are you okay?" March 7th asked in a small voice. Besides Himeko herself, Kenji was the only one who could still stand after drinking her coffee. Welt and Dan Heng would collapse on the sofa, and she would lose consciousness.
"Still alive," Kenji said, finding a place to sit down and rest.
Is Himeko's sense of taste different from everyone else's? She looks perfectly normal when she drinks it. If he hadn't tested it himself, he would have believed that the coffee was delicious. But he was more curious about how Himeko managed to brew such a lethal concoction.
[Stank has joined the chat group.]
[Monkey D. Kizaru has joined the chat group.]
[Galactic Baseballer has joined the chat group.]
Oh ho—
More new people. This time, three joined at once.
Kenji looked at the chat group. The first two were easy to figure out.
"Stank," Tony Stark, a veteran employee of chat group fanfictions. He appeared so often he was on par with Madara. The ever-changing chat group, the ever-present Madara Uchiha and Iron Man... In the beginning, he was a playboy. After being attacked by terrorists, he forged the Arc Reactor in the primitive and backward environment of a cave. That was something Doctor Octopus had failed to do twice. To call him a genius was no exaggeration.
"Monkey D. Kizaru," the Marine Admiral, Borsalino, a famous actor. Because he had gone easy on the Straw Hat Pirates, he was jokingly called "Luffy's second uncle," which was where the name "Monkey D. Kizaru" came from.
Other Supernovas: "We want to complain! Someone is throwing the match! You didn't kick us that slowly!"
There were also apocryphal records: "Borsalino is a spy planted in the Marines by the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Dragon." (Just kidding)
"So scary," he'd say, as he kicked a Supernova.
But the last one, "Galactic Baseballer"...
Kenji's expression turned strange. He looked up and met Stelle's eyes.
A knowing glance. It was the "Stellaron Spirit" in front of him who had joined. So, a world could have multiple members. You learn something new every day.
Stelle was a little confused. She saw the name "Kenji" in the chat log. What's this?
[Stank]: "Chat group? What the hell?"
Tony sat up and looked at the cover girl lying next to him. Had he been sleeping with too many cover girls lately? Was he starting to hallucinate?
He immediately had JARVIS check his physical condition.
"Sir, no problems have been detected in your brain."
With Tony's wealth, his mansion was equipped with the most advanced medical equipment. JARVIS, his AI (family), quickly produced the results.
A spark of intelligence flashed in Tony's eyes. He briefly observed the chat group. As a genius, he knew about the possibility of parallel universes. However, the name "Stank," filled with malicious humor, displeased him greatly.
[Stank]: "Can someone tell me what the hell is up with this damn nickname?"
[Star Forger]: DELIVERY_GUY_PHOTO.jpg
Kenji immediately satisfied Tony's curiosity.
[Stank]: "Motherf***er!"
[Stank]: "Who is this old delivery guy?!"
That guy, Rhodey... what a terrible friend.
[Stank]: "If you have bad eyesight, you shouldn't be a delivery guy."
He was going to complain about this delivery guy.
[Stank]: "I'm Tony Stark, not Stank!!"
[Galactic Baseballer]: "Alright, Stank. No problem, Stank."
[Stank]: "..."
[Stank]: "Where did this little brat come from? Doesn't anyone have any control over them?"
[Galactic Baseballer]: "This is my godfather. @Star Forger"
[Miss Pink Elf♪]: "Oh my, Kenji, when did you get such a big daughter? ♪"
[Star Forger]: "?"
I don't know either.
Kenji looked at the "Stellaron Spirit." He didn't remember adopting such a big daughter.
Stelle, are you okay?
Stelle blinked. She felt a familiar aura from Kenji, but they didn't look alike, so he must be her godfather. She had just been born less than half a day ago. It was no problem to call him godfather. Maybe she could even inherit his family fortune in the future.
Call him godfather now, and get his inheritance later when the old man kicks the bucket. She was so clever.
[Monkey D. Kizaru]: "My name is Borsalino. I have no relation to the Monkey family."
Kizaru was speechless. They had just given him a new surname. What was he supposed to call Garp now?
[Miss Pink Elf♪]: "This nickname is related to the person themselves♪"
[Lady Justice]: "Did you forget your own surname?"
[Monkey D. Kizaru]: "Impossible, absolutely impossible."
No matter what, his surname couldn't possibly be Monkey.
[Star Forger]: "Then let me ask you, if you had to capture Garp's grandson, the pirate Monkey D. Luffy, in the future, would you go easy on him?"
[Monkey D. Kizaru]: "This..."
Kizaru was a little silent. They were all colleagues. Besides Akainu, even Admiral Aokiji would turn a blind eye if he ran into Garp's grandson. The sea wasn't just about fighting; you also had to consider personal relationships. This family was really strange. Garp was a legendary Marine Vice Admiral, his son was the leader of the Revolutionary Army, and his grandson wanted to be a pirate.
