Tokyo: My Superpower Refreshes Every Week-Chapter 607 - 605: So Anime and Novels All Have Real Worlds?
The screen was filled with blood, which wouldn't have passed the website's censorship during normal times given the gruesome content.
But things were different now. Morimoto Chiyoda sat in front of the computer screen, noting that this episode had already reached thirty-two minutes, exceeding the usual duration of a Pirate King episode, and it still wasn't over.
She picked up her phone from the table and checked. The next episode was playing here.
In the next episode being played, there was no Dio, and Magellan wasn't dead either. It depicted successfully taking down the Blackbeard Pirate Group and continuing the pursuit of Luffy and his crew.
This meant that the episode where Dio appeared had become an extension world separate from the original Pirate King series, not affecting the plot of other episodes.
Or perhaps, Dio just used that episode as a jump to a lower-dimensional real Pirate King world?
Moreover, when Dio clashed with Blackbeard, he used an ability never seen before, unlike the diamond-shaped rainbow light that resists space-based weapons.
Colorless, formless, it was a completely unknown ability.
Dispersing darkness, molding people from the outside into thin patties...
Morimoto Chiyoda tried dragging the progress bar back and found that the video could rewind.
The desktop phone rang, and Morimoto Chiyoda answered without putting it on speaker.
Jack's voice came through, "Morimoto, what do you think Dio's purpose is in this anime by killing Magellan, Blackbeard, and those people? Does it have any meaning?"
Morimoto Chiyoda stared at the screen, frowning slightly, and said, "I'm not sure, maybe he's trying something."
"Trying what?"
Jack didn't understand her words, his confusion almost palpable over the phone.
Morimoto Chiyoda continued, "It's just a guess.
Perhaps Dio wants to test whether he can still freely change this world after ascending to Paradise.
The killings he enacts in the anime are all tests.
It might also be to meet the conditions for ascending to Paradise, where the souls of evildoers are needed not only from our world but also from lower-dimensional worlds like anime."
"Oh, what you said makes sense."
Jack nodded, thinking the latter explanation was more reasonable. The souls of evildoers aren't limited to their world.
If ascending to Paradise requires the souls of evildoers from multidimensional worlds,
but if the Pirate King anime is a world that truly exists, what about other animes and novels? How should one enter them?
Thinking this, Jack felt it was peculiar. What he once thought to be fictitious turned out to be actual records of events happening in some worlds.
The world existed beyond just the different world and theirs.
"I'll report this explanation to the superiors later."
Jack shook his head, choosing not to dwell on it. He just needed to do his job and report the related conjectures to his superiors.
Morimoto Chiyoda neither stopped him nor agreed, continuing to watch the screen in front of her, pondering Dio's purpose.
...
Outside Impel Down, the surging waves made the warship rock up and down. The previously resistant marines were knocked down below.
The escaped prisoners successfully took control of the warship, with former Seven Warlords of the Sea member Jinbei, who was highly skilled in navigation, at the helm.
"Haha!"
The prisoners cheered loudly, celebrating their return to the sunlight, and some even made faces at the ruins of Impel Down.
"I will never return to that hell."
"Me neither, I want to turn over a new leaf and return to my family."
"We're free!"
"Tell me, who do we have to thank for this?"
A deep voice drifted from the air, and the man with the red nose, full of high spirits, swung from the ropes.
Although Buggy the Clown did nothing, it didn't stop him from pretending he'd done something in light of everything that had happened now.
"Captain Buggy!"
The prisoners excitedly shouted this name.
"Yahahahaha!"
Buggy the Clown fully demonstrated what it means for someone unscrupulous to reach the top.
...
"Major General, should we support Impel Down or capture those prisoners?"
"Prioritize capturing the prisoners; leave Impel Down to Magellan. I'm sure he has a way to handle it."
"Yes!"
After a brief shock, the navy quickly reacted, uniformly opening fire on Luffy's group traveling on the warship.
In no time, cannonballs rained down on the sea, making the already turbulent waters even more chaotic, swaying left and right, and the prisoners on board realized they might have celebrated prematurely.
One after another, they let out cries of terror.
"How many warships are there?!"
Warship after warship emerged from the rising mist, and a quick glance revealed there were at least a dozen.
Every warship was equipped with turrets.
Despite their full-scale attack, the warship remained unscathed.
Because the helmsman was a fishman with a very stout build and blue skin.
It is well-known that blue guys are seen as reliable.
Under his excellent navigation skills, the warship dodged the barrage of cannonballs, "Although officers above vice-admiral rank were summoned to the Navy Headquarters, a warship is still a warship. No matter who boards it, it becomes a formidable challenge."
Jinbei's tone contained a trace of helplessness. He was more rational than the prisoners present, aware of the threat before them.
Escaping Impel Down was just the first step.
"Jinbei, you have nowhere to run. The Gate of Justice will never open for pirates!"
The shout of the rear admiral echoed across the sea, even overpowering the sound of cannonballs, like a cold shower on the prisoners' excitement.
Only then did they remember, and they all turned forward.
The mist was hazy, and a giant gate, as if cutting off the heavens and earth, stood there blocking the path.
Despair swept over the warship instantly.
Luffy's face was full of astonishment: "We've come this far, yet there's still no way?"
He clenched his fists; some things are not achievable by mere words. Even if he stakes his life and gives it his all, there are still things that can't be done.
For instance, on Sabaody Archipelago.
No matter how hard they tried, under the absolute disparity in strength, they were still defeated by Admiral Kizaru, and one by one his companions were sent flying by Kuma right in front of him.
The Gate of Justice before him was also such; Luffy knew well that he couldn't open it, and neither could anyone else on the ship.
This was a dead-end.
Luffy was unwilling yet didn't know how to exert his strength.
The wind swept from behind, and a blond man appeared on the deck.
Jinbei, steering the helm, immediately directed his gaze towards him.
"You handled Magellan so quickly, just who are you?"
The speaker was a tall man with slicked-back hair and a long horizontal scar on his face, his left hand bore a distinct golden hook, giving off the demeanor of a mafia godfather.
Formerly one of the Seven Warlords, Crocodile.
But Aozawa didn't care about him and didn't answer his question, instead focusing on the Gate of Justice.
"Tch, fine, if you don't want to say." Crocodile frowned slightly but did not get angry; the man before him was indeed strong, not someone he could easily deal with.
"Are you that statue from just now?"
Luffy hurriedly asked.
Aozawa looked at the protagonist before him, feeling a hint of nostalgia––this was a character that had accompanied his youth once upon a time.
"I am called Dio."
"I'm Monkey D. Luffy, the man who will become the Pirate King in the future."
The boy instinctively introduced his name and future dream, then urgently asked: "I need to go to the Navy Headquarters to rescue Ace, who's about to be executed, but this gate won't open. Do you have any idea?"
Seeing the eyes full of expectation, Aozawa nodded and said, "Rest assured, leave it to me."
As he finished speaking, he kicked off with his feet, sparks of electricity flashing around them as he flew from the deck towards the Gate of Justice.
Luffy, upon witnessing this scene, was visibly excited: "Ah, those sparks are just like the big-eared guy's from Skypiea."
"We're doomed, all of us!"
Buggy the Clown started pessimist singing loudly again.
To him, the Gate of Justice was so big, how could there be a way to open it?
"Dio said to leave it to him."
"Straw Hat Luffy, you're such an idiot. Dio says he can do it, just like I could say, I can become the Pirate King."
"Oh! Did you guys hear? Captain Buggy's dream is to become the Pirate King!"
A group of prisoners below was instantly thrilled.
Buggy was completely speechless, realizing he was not laying out grand plans for the future, but clearly venting in despair.
Luffy didn't argue with Buggy; he fixed his gaze ahead, trusting Dio could do it.
A flash of lightning, and Aozawa appeared before the Gate of Justice.
He raised his hand to touch the door's surface, like a grain of sand against a city gate.
Yet his destructive power was not small, as black chrysanthemum patterns swiftly spread across the lower half of the Gate of Justice.
"What's that?"
Buggy stopped his pessimistic tune, eyeing the patterns on the door, sarcastically saying, "Oh, I get it, that guy wants to draw a pretty pattern on the door so they'll gladly open it. What a brilliant strategy."
Boom!
The ability of Marked Detonation was activated before their eyes, as cracks appeared in the patterns, sending flames spurting out, billowing smoke rising.
The lower half of the Gate of Justice was directly blasted apart, leaving not even a speck of dust.
"Nani?!"
Buggy's eyes bulged out of their sockets, even his nose and neck fragmented into pieces.
Only he, with his Bara Bara fruit power, could manifest such a dramatic expression.
"Haha, we're saved."
Luffy was all smiles, as this meant they could now head to the Navy Headquarters to save Ace.
...
In front of the computer screen, Morimoto Chiyoda looked at the destroyed Gate of Justice, frowning deeply.
Said to have a connection with Luffy, the protagonist, but what benefit could Dio gain by helping him?
Morimoto Chiyoda couldn't figure it out, the feeling like a blind man touching an elephant made her irritated. She turned her head and asked, "Is there something special about the upcoming Summit War?"
"It's a long story."
The assistant beside her, looking a bit conflicted, started, "The early stage of the Summit War is a clash between two major forces: one side known as the strongest on the Grand Line, the Whitebeard Pirates, hailed as the foremost of the Four Emperors.
The other side is the Navy Headquarters, the most violent institution under the World Government.
The one being executed, Ace, is the biological child of the former Pirate King, Gol D. Roger..."
