Meanwhile, in the world of One Piece...
Jaeger had no idea that nearly everyone in the chat group was talking about him behind his back.
He finally stepped out from Kozuki Toki's chambers, having stayed longer than expected.
Before leaving, he knelt down and gently taught Kozuki Hiyori how to drink milk with her mother demonstrating it—claiming it would help her grow strong and healthy.
Toki had initially been furious. She hated the idea of her daughter learning how to drink milk, especially milk made by Jaeger himself.
But something changed.
Perhaps it was the trace of Otsutsuki Progenitor blood in Jaeger's veins, or maybe something else altogether but the milk had a powerful enhancing effect. In just a few days, both mother and daughter had visibly improved in strength and vitality.
Toki couldn't help but feel conflicted. She hated him, yes but she couldn't deny the results. And when Jaeger made his promise, she finally fell silent.
The promise was simple, almost too good to be true.
Wano would join the World Government—without paying the Celestial Dragon's tribute.
Kaido would become an admiral.
Kozuki Toki and Admiral of beasts Kaido would govern the new Wano. And Hiyori and Yamato would be trained as the next rulers.
If Toki were alone, she would've scoffed at the offer. What ruler? Her husband was dead. Her people were gone. What use was power if it only served Jaeger's twisted goals?
But she wasn't alone.
She had Hiyori.
And for her daughter's future—glorious or cursed—she swallowed her pride.
In just a few days, Kaido led the navy across the New World, capturing hundreds of thousands. Slaves, really. Forced into mining seastone and forging weapons. The numbers were staggering—nearly half of Wano's past population.
With Jaeger's backing, Wano would become a superpower—wealthy, unstoppable, feared.
And for that… Toki endured. Her daughter would inherit more than ashes.
She held the exhausted Hiyori close, her own body still aching, and whispered, bitter and broken, "Oden… If only you had gone to Roger or Whitebeard. If only you'd acted faster… none of this would've happened."
[Chat Group]
Nerona Jaeger: Tsk. First thing I see after logging in—everyone slandering me. Seriously?
Jibril: Oh please. You're a man who flirts with dragons, falls for a paper girl, and flirts with underage princesses. You're not just a scumbag—you're a historical pervert.
Nerona Jaeger: You? The woman who collects the heads of strong men like trophies? You're the definition of a deranged maniac. You have no right to talk!
Esdeath: Ahahaha! Arguing again, I see. Look, everyone here is a little twisted. I'm a Sadistic mass murder—do I care?
Nakiri Erina: …
Kocho Shinobu: …
Jibril: Let's not forget, Jaeger-san nuked an entire island in the One Piece world. No one even escaped. That's efficiency—psychotic efficiency.
Uchiha Madara: You'll get used to this. In our world, splitting mountains is just a warm-up. Who cares if there were people on them?
Aizen Sosuke: Indeed. The lives of the weak are like grains of rice. Do you remember how many you've eaten? No? Exactly.
Uchiha Miyuki: Pfft—Aizen, when did you start cosplaying as DIO?
Then, one message lit up the chat.
Saitama: Awesome! Jaeger's finally free. Can we fight now?
Nerona Jaeger: Ahem... Sorry, sorry. I got... distracted by Oden's lovely wife and her "gentle touch." Lost track of time.
Saitama: No problem! I'm ready whenever you are.
Aizen Sosuke: May I join the battle as well?
Yamamoto Mei: You serious, Aizen? Didn't you already get intimidated by Saitama once?
Aizen Sosuke: I've reconsidered. What better way to experience this vast world than through battle? Besides, I haven't tested Kyōka Suigetsu's full effect on opponents like them.
Uchiha Miyuki: Pfft—
Yamamoto Mei: You really think your hypnosis can beat Jaeger or Saitama? That's wishful thinking.
Aizen Sosuke: Perhaps. But in a recent fight against Aokiji, my hypnosis worked—even through Observation Haki. That's promising.
Saitama: Sure thing. Let's all fight!
Nerona Jaeger: Perfect. I'll open the live broadcast now.
[Group member Jaeger has started a live broadcast.]
Almost instantly, the chat exploded.
Before the image even fully stabilized, Miyuki was already grinning behind her screen.
[Chat Group]
Uchiha Miyuki: "Hey—hey, hey! The fight's starting. How about we make things interesting?"
Uchiha Miyuki: "Let's bet. Who's winning?"
Jibril: "Betting? Oh, I like where this is going."
Esdeath: "Fufufu… a battle between monsters? I'm in."
Kocho Shinobu: "…This feels unethical. But I'm curious too."
Uchiha Madara: "Hmph. There's no need to overthink it. Strength decides everything."
Aizen Sosuke: "I assume you're all wagering on me losing?"
Uchiha Miyuki: "Obviously."
Jibril: "Same."
Jibril: "No offense, Aizen, but you're seasoning. Not the main dish."
Esdeath: "I'll bet on Saitama and Jaeger out of the three."
Uchiha Madara: "Saitama and Jaeger."
Kocho Shinobu: "…I feel the same way."
Nakiri Erina: "I—Jaeger."
Jibril: "Jaeger."
Jibril: "Because anyone who casually nukes continents deserves respect."
Uchiha Miyuki: "Split votes already, huh?"
Uchiha Miyuki: "Alright, next question then."
Uchiha Miyuki: "Saitama vs Jaeger."
The chat went quiet for a brief moment.
Yamamoto Mei: …
Yamamoto Mei: "Who do you guys think would win between Saitama and Jaeger?"
Miyuki Uchiha, spotting the opening instantly, couldn't resist slipping back into meme mode.
Uchiha Miyuki: "Well—"
Uchiha Miyuki: "If Saitama went all out…He might cause Jaeger a little trouble."
The pause that followed was unmistakable.
Yamamoto Mei: …
Yamamoto Mei, a veteran, immediately recognized where Miyuki was taking this.
Despite her usually mature demeanor, she found herself playing along this time.
This was one moment she simply couldn't let pass.
Yamamoto Mei: "But would he lose?"
Uchiha Miyuki: "Nah. He'd win."
Nerona Jaeger: …
Nerona Jaeger: "Miyuki being a slut, I understand."
Nerona Jaeger: "But Mei—When did you start having a problem too?"
Yamamoto Mei: "My apologies, Jaeger-kun. This was simply too perfect to pass up."
The live broadcast filled instantly as every member of the group joined.
This was the moment.
Jaeger and Saitama—the strongest—were about to face each other head-on.
Aizen's presence was nothing more than flavoring.
Jaeger smiled at Yamamoto Mei's remark, then shifted into battle readiness.
--
On the screen, space twisted and split open as Jaeger gently tore reality like paper.
Through the rift, Saitama and Aizen stepped into view.
"It's amazing indeed," Aizen murmured, watching Jaeger manipulate space as if it were child's play.
Even he couldn't do something like that… at least, not yet.
Saitama glanced around, his expression as blank as ever. Then, a faint smile tugged at his lips.
"Can we start now?"
Jaeger nodded, calm and composed, his Noble Phantasms ready.
"Yes," he said simply.
"Let's begin."
But before anyone moved, Aizen raised his sword.
"Shatter, Kyōka Suigetsu."
A wave of energy burst out, enveloping both Saitama and Jaeger in perfect, undetectable hypnosis.
"From this moment on," Aizen said calmly, "everything you see, hear, feel—it's my illusion. I am invincible."
Jaeger tilted his head slightly. "…You sure about that?"
Saitama stared at his palm. "Hypnosis? Is that like when I forget what I had for lunch?"
Aizen spoke with a gentle smile and effortless confidence.
"You don't understand. You've already lost."
Jaeger didn't reply. He simply raised his hand, gold energy crackling from his sword.
"Even with the illusion... if I slash this sword... will it hit the real you?"
Aizen froze, his composed smile faltering for the briefest moment.
Jaeger didn't wait.
He twisted his wrist, and golden light arced through the air.
"God Avoid—!"
