A person in Tokyo becomes a demon god

Chapter 38 The calm before the storm

"it is good!!"

In the Metropolitan Police Department's command center in Chiyoda Ward, Chief Inspector Fujita delivered a powerful punch into the air.

"You're a good subordinate."

Even Lieutenant General Thomas praised it.

Based on reports from the scene, they already knew that 'Oshima Teru' had agreed to join the Metropolitan Police Department.

Regardless of whether 'Oshima Teru' is human or not, as long as he can be of help, the government will not refuse: perhaps they can even get some unexpected benefits from 'him'.

Besides, even without any other supernatural abilities, it's still a huge problem solved, isn't it?

"It's not time to celebrate yet,"

Director Fujita suppressed his excitement.
"Tonight is also an important moment: we don't know what will happen if Takumi Oshima falls into a natural sleep."

Their 'anesthesia bullets' caused the enemy to produce a large number of 'weird monsters'. If Oshima Takumi's natural sleep would also cause this, then where would anyone be able to live near him in the future?
When I sleep, it's like a hundred ghosts roaming at night!
"Don't worry too much, dear Fujita."

Lieutenant General Thomas pointed to the screen, which showed an area surrounding the Oshima family's residence.

"Weren't your people already prepared to deal with this?"

That's right,

Many residents near Oshima's house,

They've already secretly replaced them with people from the Metropolitan Police Department!
Even people that Takumi Oshima knew, such as the 'Old Man Nagata' who was walking his dog, were actually veteran actors who had been urgently dispatched from the island nation.

The purpose was to erase the traces of the tragedy of the 'Oshima family'—all relevant hospital and police records had been altered; Oshima Makoto and Oshima Teru had never died, it was just that middle-aged Oshima Takumi had been in a car accident and was in a coma.

The government can cover up and distort a matter to the point that even the person involved might doubt their own memory.

Moreover, Takumi Oshima himself was immersed in the 'dream' he had created.

A lucid dream.

As long as he doesn't let his abilities run wild during his natural sleep at night, the island nation's government can rest assured.

As for the casualties that occurred earlier? They were nothing more than minor incidents.

"Next,"

Lieutenant General Thomas's expression turned serious.
"Tomorrow night will be the real showdown!"

Those damned island nation's 'Heian period samurai,' after slaughtering the American soldiers, even left behind an old officer, agreeing to fight again in three days.

After repeated examinations, the top medical teams from both countries confirmed that the officer's bodily functions were in a state of failure, and his remaining life could only be measured in hours—more than half the time had passed, and it seemed that the other party was not lying.

I'll give you three days to live, that's three days!

How could America not be enraged by such arrogance and wickedness?!

After the anger subsided, one had to consider how to deal with it: the supernatural beings that had appeared were not easy to deal with; those who were foolishly deceived by humans or afraid of certain animals in the legends probably no longer existed.

Legends are indeed unreliable!

"We will do our best to cooperate with whatever requests you have."

Director Fujita promised that if America actually sends its aircraft carrier into Tokyo Bay, the island nation can only offer a few verbal protests.

Let them do whatever they want, anyway, America is the one leading the charge!
what?
Did many powerful figures and members of parliament also die in island nations?
For the sake of the island nation's interests, I imagine they wouldn't have any objections.

Actually, for Director Fujita, it would be better if all those pro-American guys were dead!

This world has no shortage of ambitious people: the vacant positions of tycoon heads, CEOs of large companies, and seats in parliament have already been divided up: many heirs who have waited for more than ten or even decades are constantly thanking that 'supernatural being'.

If it weren't for 'this being' eliminating those old fogies, they wouldn't know when they would have had a chance to rise to prominence.

"Hmph, a mere supernatural being."

The thought of the upcoming 'battle' made Lieutenant General Thomas's face darken.

Damn it, we have to show them how powerful America is!

"Ok?"

"A large number of 'monsters' have appeared in Nakano Ward."

In Setagaya Ward, Machii Isao, the 'Heisei Sword Saint,' who was scrolling through his phone while sitting in his rustic dojo, paused.

The footage was shaky, clearly filmed during a chase: terrified passersby, incompetent police officers, and various bizarre 'monsters' all made Machii Isao raise an eyebrow.

Unafraid of bullets, or even flames?
With the debut of the American Black Hawk fighter jet, many passersby in the island nation placed their hopes on them, and many people took pictures with their mobile phones.

One scene features a helicopter spewing out pillars of fire while a monster calmly walks out.

interesting,

I don't know if my knife is suitable.
He stroked the long knife in his hand, ever since he was diagnosed with 'spinal paralysis' after a car accident when he was 19 years old.

Practicing Iai became something that Machii Isao used to hone himself and persevere in: because 'Iai' is a seated sword-drawing technique, which suited him to practice at that time.

This training
That's been more than twenty years.

In addition, having practiced swordsmanship since childhood, Machii Isao's title of "Heisei Sword Saint" is well-deserved.

Do not,
It can definitely be cut open!

A glint of light flashed in his eyes, and the Heisei Sword Saint began to ponder again:
What should I chop up tonight?

The Chaoxia base must be heavily guarded now.
It's decided, I'll go again!

at the same time,

"Kaori,"

In the library of the University of Tokyo,
Mitsuko Tokugawa, with her long, straight black hair and classic "high-class beauty" aura, sat down in front of Kaori Inoue, who was engrossed in her studies.

"I have good news and bad news. Which would you like to hear first?"

"Judging from your expression, Photon," "The good news should be more important."

The girl next door, who was studying law, looked up from her book and smiled slightly.

"Then I'll hear the bad news first."

"You have a very keen eye."

Despite maintaining an 'elegant' expression at all times, Tokugawa Mitsuko's friend saw through her act with ease, and she didn't keep the secret any longer.

"Just now, a large number of 'monsters' rampaged through Nakano Ward, causing heavy casualties."

?

Heard this news,

Kaori Inoue's smile vanished.

"Have supernatural disasters developed to this extent?"

Previously it was just a 'battle between supernatural beings', but thinking about it, it's quite normal—if the boy and girl in that video were to attack a passerby, it would immediately cause a bloodbath.

"So Kaori should also be careful. If you encounter anything unusual, get away from it immediately."

Tokugawa Mitsuko's earnest instructions were not only because the other party had saved her sister;
After spending this time together, I've come to regard the other person as a good friend.

"Yes, thank you, Photon."

Something's not normal?

Kaori Inoue thought about it and realized that things had been going smoothly for her lately.
Even the Yakuza didn't bother my father, so there's nothing 'abnormal' about it.

This is the biggest abnormality!
The power of luck
"What about the good news?"

"Good news—remember when I said that there were powerful figures behind your boyfriend's case?"

? !
"Who is framing Brother Lu?"

The girl across the desk leaned forward.
He instinctively grasped Tokugawa Mitsuko's hands, speaking rapidly.

"Can you tell me?"

"This"

As the other person held her hands, a blush rose on the elegant young lady's face, and her eyes darted around.

".I don't know either."

In fact, Tokugawa Mitsuko already knew that a certain politician had framed Akizuki Ritsu for his son's sake—but she couldn't tell her friend about this, nor could she go into too much detail.

“But I can tell you that the powerful figure has already lost power.”

"In other words, your investigations will be much simpler in the future."

After saying that, the eldest daughter of the Tokugawa family mustered her courage and took Inoue Kaori's hand.

"I...I'll help you too."

"Very good,"

Kaori Inoue smiled sincerely.

She had already been admitted to the Faculty of Law at the University of Tokyo, and naturally she was well aware that the law was neither omnipotent nor absolutely just.

otherwise,

What's the point of having lawyers?
This case involves the Metropolitan Police Department, the Prosecutor's Office, and the court. The power that allows her lawyer brother to take the blame is not something that can be shaken in a few words. Even if, as Mitsuko said, the real culprit has already 'lost power,' would the people involved in these three parties just sit idly by and watch the case be overturned?

It's impossible!

If the case is overturned, it will be considered a dereliction of duty!

Therefore, these people will definitely try to obstruct her in secret: the girl's path to saving her lover is still very long.

But in any case, the hope is greater than before:
"wait for me."

Brother Lu, we'll be able to meet again soon.

The girl clenched her fist in high spirits!

Actually, it's not necessary.
In a Tokyo detention center, someone is having a great time 'role-playing'.

"As expected of a Celestial Dragon's Devil Fruit, its ability is truly remarkable: once we are strong enough, we can use it to stage a 'Night Parade of One Hundred Demons,' making it easy to conquer cities and destroy countries."

The dream manifestations of the Kirin Fruit are indeed disgusting. Those who don't understand the mechanics will spend ages hacking at the immortal 'nightmare' without any real benefit. Moreover, as one's strength increases, the 'nightmas' they create will also become stronger.

This requires a high level of Observation Haki: to lock onto the true form and eliminate it directly.

In this way, even the most amazing abilities become useless.

But the problem is-

Does anyone in this world possess Observation Haki?

Besides, even if he had Observation Haki, who would have thought that Akizuki Ritsu, who was currently in prison, was the mastermind behind all of this?
"Next, we will use America's weapons to experiment with the abilities of other Devil Fruits."

In fact, once we determine the abilities of certain fruits...
Qiuyue Lu can be called invincible.

For example, the 'Door-Door Fruit' allows one to travel through space, the 'Mirror-Mirror Fruit' allows one to create a world within a mirror, and there are many others—while Haki is certainly powerful, only Devil Fruits can accomplish all sorts of miracles.

Elevating the island to an altitude of 10,000 meters, completely altering the celestial phenomena, and even achieving immortality would be no problem:

The 'ultimate surgery' of the Op-Op Fruit is the reason for Im's existence.

"bring it on,"

There's still one day left.

I've given you so much time to prepare, so don't let me down.
