A person in Tokyo becomes a demon god

Chapter 62 Luck is also a part of strength
"This is really true."

Both the 'Nobleman' and 'Grand Lady' who were in the sky and overseeing the whole situation were astonished.

The 'bag dog' we just saw wasn't someone's doing, and Kaori Inoue's battle was just something she was secretly observing.

The so-called 'Bag Tanuki' is one of the traditional 'Hyakki' (hundred demons) of the island nation. Its image is that of a tanuki demon carrying a bundle, or a tsukumogami (a spirit that embodies a bundle), who likes to collect treasures: and on this battlefield, souls are the so-called treasures.

Unfortunately, he ran into Kaori Inoue, and was not only killed, but his treasure also fell into the girl's hands.

Qiu Yuelu observed all of this but did not interfere, remaining silent as to whether or not to speak out.
Is this the fruit of luck?

No wonder it's a Devil Fruit ability that dares to claim to be 'invincible'.

The Lucky Fruit, the ability of Bakala, a high-ranking officer under Gild Tesoro, the "Golden Emperor".

How powerful is this ability? It can even temporarily suppress Luffy's 'protagonist aura'! With Luffy's luck, he's a winner in casinos; after winning big, he gets touched by the opponent and loses everything on the spot.

As long as there is enough 'luck',
Bakala stood there, and no attack could hurt her.

The enemy, on the other hand, will suffer the fate of "Final Destination," with all sorts of unexpected events happening one after another, resulting in a miserable and unpleasant death.

Unfortunately, she was too reckless and insisted on playing tricks on the cowardly trio with a single gold coin. As a result, Usopp brought her a slot machine, which caused her gold coin to fall into it, and the machine rolled out the grand prize, exhausting her 'luck' before she finally won.

"Luck is something that is intangible and intangible."

Even if someone notices, they might at most exclaim, "What good luck!"

But are there few lucky people in this world? America's blond president was even able to dodge a deadly assassination attempt by simply tilting his head during a speech.

That incredible luck,
People would believe it if you said 'Yawei' patted their shoulder.

"Well, then let Kaori practice and develop this fruit."

For Ritsu Akizuki, it doesn't really matter who develops the Devil Fruit ability; however, such a 'good ability' is naturally prioritized for those around her.

On the streets where people were fleeing,

"Kaori, what's this?"

When Tokugawa Mitsuko got up, she was greeted by the shocking scene of her friend instantly killing a monster with a single shot.

"This one,"

He brandished the revolver in his hand.

This is the classic island nation's 'small water pipe' Shin-Nanbu M60.

This gun is known for its low power, but that's not due to the gun itself, but rather a deliberate design choice by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department: to ensure it doesn't kill.

Besides, the performance of the firearm itself is actually quite good; and because it is small and easy to conceal, it is popular with both police and yakuza.

Before the girl could explain, several voices interrupted her.

"Since you've asked so sincerely, oh dear,"

"Shut up, Number 2!"

Several 'little men' crawled out of the cylinder of the revolver.

"At our first meeting, we are the 'master's' weapons: possessions composed of five souls."

Amidst the playful antics of several other tiny figures, one who appeared quite composed bowed slightly to Tokugawa Mitsuko. They were all only the size of bullets, and their posture as they emerged from the magazine was precisely what allowed this weapon to blast the 'monster' apart.

They were all unfortunate souls killed by 'pouched raccoons', their memories long since vanished, and a single one was not even enough to form a 'possession'.

They had no choice but to fight together: since they were not convinced of each other's abilities, they needed the 'master' to give orders.

"what?"

"H-Hello."

Such a bizarre scene left Tokugawa Mitsuko somewhat at a loss, and she subconsciously bowed her head in greeting.

"Although we appear to be five, we are essentially 'one person'."

The composed little man introduced himself.
"I am number one,"

"I am... cough cough, I am number 2."

He spouts anime quotes, gets knocked over onto the tank by two other little figures, and the little figure kicking him raises his hands.

"I'm number 3, and I'm good at housework;"

"I'm number 4, the next battle is mine!"

"That's not right,"

As the other 'little people' introduced themselves, Kaori Inoue discovered her blind spot.

"Aren't there only four of you?"

"Oh, No. 5 was just launched and needs some time to reload."

"Ahem, young lady."

Just as the two girls were examining the 'strange' firearm in their hands, two bodyguards staggered over, supporting them.

"Excuse me, is it possible to evacuate the injured to the rear?"

The bodyguard was asking about Tokugawa Mitsuko, but his gaze was fixed on Inoue Kaori.

This young lady's guest is actually a hidden 'supernatural powerhouse': with such strength, why did she pretend to be a weak girl before?
Of course, they only dared to be angry but not to speak out.

The bodyguards have really blamed the wrong person.

Kaori was indeed not much different from an 'ordinary person' before.

But with unparalleled luck, opportunities come naturally, and monsters are instantly defeated.

"Can,"

With Guangzi nodding, the bodyguards felt as if they had been granted a pardon.

In such a bizarre battlefield, even seasoned professionals like them could be seriously injured in a matter of minutes.

Let's leave it to this guest who's 'pretending to be weak to actually do something big'.

"what?"

In Yakumo-cho, near the Metropolitan University, the silver-haired old man, having just retreated from a fierce battle with monsters, pressed his earpiece.

"Photon's guest blasted apart a 'parallel level' monster boss with a single shot?"

"Yes, master."

"That lady might be a supernatural being, should we..." "Don't do anything unnecessary!"

The bodyguards behind him thought the other party was a 'supernatural being', but Tsunetaka Tokugawa already knew from the Metropolitan Police Department that 'possessed objects' on the side of humans had appeared on this battlefield, whether they were plants, furniture, or even weapons.

Upon hearing the bodyguard's report, the old man of the Tokugawa family already understood:
This is a weapon-type 'possession'.

Good luck!
However, the Tokugawa family was not bad either.
"Treat them with the proper etiquette for distinguished guests. Remember: be respectful, but not excessive!"

If you act too obsequiously, it will only cause the other party to feel disgusted—since she is Mitsuko's good friend, the Tokugawa family has plenty of ways to gradually deepen this relationship.

The former Tokugawa Mitsuko was just one of this old man's many great-granddaughters; he had several children, and after three generations, it had become a huge family.

But from now on, she is his 'most beloved' great-granddaughter!

"Hahaha!"

Laughing loudly, the old man rushed forward and knocked down an ordinary monster with a single punch.

"As expected, it's my Tokugawa family."

There's still a bit of 'luck' involved!

"A weapon-type 'possession'?"

In the Metropolitan Police Department's command center, Chief Inspector Fujita adjusted his non-prescription glasses.

Even he had a fleeting moment of 'greed'; but it was immediately erased because it was meaningless.

These 'possessed entities' are not merely tools; they all possess their own thoughts. If forced, they could start fighting on the spot: like that big tree.

He had absolutely no concept of 'putting the greater good first'. When the police asked him to fight off the monster, he attacked them directly, seemingly driven only by his obsession with protecting the child in his arms.

How could anyone not like a weapon-type 'possession', especially a modern 'firearm'?

Unfortunately, that was someone else's opportunity.

"What about America?"

When the word 'opportunity' came up in Director Fujita's mind, the first thing that flashed through his mind was this ally who loved to 'plunder' everywhere.

"Reporting to the Director, we have not received any information about any American intervention."

?

Given America's character, how could they?
Yes, they are afraid of these two.

My gaze fell on a screen, where a beautiful woman, as black as ink, stood in the sky, along with a child in flowing white robes.

benefactor

And a certain 'Twelve Shikigami'.

As 'Gouchen' revealed his identity, the mastermind behind all this was identified as the renowned 'greatest Onmyoji in history,' Abe no Seimei.

So this 'child' is naturally one of the 'twelve shikigami' under his command.

It appears to possess the ability to create 'monsters' on a large scale.

His abilities are very similar to those of 'Takumi Oshima'.
Or rather, it should be said that Takumi Oshima is a lower-level version of his ability: a higher-level version of the Baku!
It's not hard to understand why America has remained silent.

There's a saying that goes: When America suspects you have weapons of mass destruction, you better have them!

Otherwise, they will be bombarded, ravaged, and controlled by them.

right now,

America, which even 'Gouchen' couldn't harm, how dare it provoke two beings of the same level?
"Ha, I didn't expect that."

These thoughts flashed through my mind.

Director Fujita looked at the two figures on the screen with a complicated expression.

Normally, America would have rushed over long ago to seize ownership of the 'possessed entity'.

Now, however, they dare not act rashly because of the intimidation of these supernatural powers; it is precisely because of this that the island nation has the opportunity to make arrangements at its leisure.

Should I 'thank' you?

"Hahaha~~"

"We should thank these 'monsters'!"

In Meguro Ward, a group of men, adorned with gold necklaces and jewelry, wearing floral shirts and slippers, and carrying short knives, baseball bats, and hammers, swaggered through the streets.

It was obvious that they were members of a yakuza organization: they had refused when the leader 'tricked' them into coming here.

Then you're facing the dark muzzle of the Metropolitan Police Department's gun!
You see, it's urgent.

Honestly, we didn't say we couldn't go in.

So these guys 'gladly' entered Meguro Ward, only to discover while hiding and fleeing:
They can take anything they want!
Cool!
"Brother, those cops outside..."

One of the younger henchmen, who still had some sense, couldn't help but speak up with concern.

Don't be fooled by their ability to take anything they want now; the police have established a perimeter around every intersection outside Meguro Ward, and they just went out like that—

"The government won't care about this small amount of money!"

The younger brother, referred to as the eldest brother, laughed heartily.
The term "舍弟" means the sworn brother of the group leader; simply put, it refers to a high-ranking member of the yakuza.

"We did put in the effort, so how can we not get some compensation?"

Just as the group, preparing to continue their looting, turned the corner,

Suddenly, their eyes met those of a monster.

Snapped,

The henchman who had just spoken felt a tremendous force from behind, and he staggered forward.

"Walk,"

Leaving one of his underlings behind, 'my brother' turned and ran.

"Thank you for this era!"

That's what allows him to act so recklessly.
