"Don't say 'but.' I don't want to hear it."
"Even so, I have to say it! But I don't remember revolutionary knowledge all that clearly—no, I should say I never studied it properly in the first place. I only know the general idea. So work hard and learn about Redism! The more, the better! You have to memorize it thoroughly!"
"No! Once I buy the books and bring them in, you can take them back and read them yourself."
"I hate reading!"
"Who doesn't?"
"Please!"
"Have you forgotten the principle of not imposing on others what you yourself dislike?"
"But I'm not asking someone else—I'm asking myself! You are me. If you work hard, then I'm working hard."
"Don't you feel guilty saying that? Anyway, no. I hate reading too."
"The reason I don't study isn't that I don't want to. It's because it's inconvenient and I don't have the time. I still have a lot to do next."
Celestial Dragon Shirou paused, then said with a smile:
"But you're different! You're an elementary school student. Your schoolwork is easy, and you have plenty of free time every day. Besides, among us, you're the only modern person. Whatever knowledge you want to learn, you can easily find it in bookstores or online."
How infuriating!
There was no way to refute that.
Tohsaka Shirou hesitated for a few seconds, raised his index finger, and said seriously:
"I have one condition!"
You'll Sooner or Later Go Too Far
Chapter 38: You'll Sooner or Later Go Too Far
"Thank you so much! What condition?" Celestial Dragon Shirou asked excitedly.
Rather than answering directly, Tohsaka Shirou began talking about his recent situation.
"Recently, Little Rin said she wanted to cut off part of the Tohsaka family's Magic Crest and transfer it to Sakura, so she could practice the Tohsaka family's Jewel Magic too."
"But Sakura refused. The sisters have argued over it several times, and I'm stuck in the middle. I honestly don't know how to persuade them."
"So I came up with a solution: give Sakura a Devil Fruit. That way, even without a Magic Crest, she can continue getting stronger."
"Give Little Rin some jewels so she won't have to worry about cultivation resources."
"That way, the sisters' relationship should gradually improve."
"No problem!" Celestial Dragon Shirou smiled and pointed toward the treasury. "Take the Love-Love Fruit! Or take all those fruits and let Sakura choose whichever one she likes."
"No, I want the Paramecia Gold-Gold Fruit."
"This..."
Celestial Dragon Shirou hesitated instead.
The Gold-Gold Fruit was a strategic resource. Though it could not directly create gold, it could locate gold mines and directly extract gold from them.
During the future overthrow of the World Government, the more gold they had, the better.
"Why the Gold-Gold Fruit?"
"Is that not okay? If I remember correctly, in your current time period, Tesoro hasn't eaten a Devil Fruit yet."
Shirou paused, then added:
"With the Gold-Gold Fruit, our Tohsaka family can search everywhere for gold mines undiscovered by humanity and quickly become the richest family in the world."
"That reason isn't convincing enough. Shake hands!"
Their hands touched. Tohsaka Shirou looked at Celestial Dragon Shirou in surprise, then could not help sighing.
"You're right. You need the Gold-Gold Fruit more. In that case, then the Imitation Fruit."
"Uh... beast! Scum! Pervert!"
"That's way too harsh. You definitely misunderstood! I only want to give Sakura the Imitation Fruit so she can imitate my abilities. It'll make it easier to teach her the two types of Haki, the Six Powers, and magic from the Fairy Tail World. Without the Imitation Fruit, she'll probably have a hard time learning those power systems from other worlds."
"Is that so? (Contempt)"
"Does that even need asking?"
"Shake hands?"
"Wait a moment. Let me work up the emotion first."
"Pervert! Scum! You won't even spare little girls."
"Reflected! Everything you said is reflected back at you!"
The others watched the two of them speechlessly, all thinking the same thing.
Are you elementary school students?
Can you stop arguing with people while wearing my face? This is so embarrassing.
King of All Monsters Shirou grumbled inwardly, then turned his burning gaze toward Black Dragon King himself.
"Black Dragon, doesn't the Fairy Tail World have lots of magic? You should go read too."
"Is there any need? Isn't my Dark Dragon Slayer Magic enough?"
Black Dragon Shirou frowned slightly. Since they were all Shirou, they naturally all disliked sitting quietly and reading.
"Our current strength is enough, but my subordinates aren't. If they learn magic from the Fairy Tail World, they can become stronger too."
Slime Shirou glanced at Water Shadow himself and said with a smile:
"Unfortunately, things like Chakra and ninjutsu can only be used by us in other worlds. They can't be spread. Otherwise, even if Shuna and the others only learned the Three Body Technique, their strength would increase greatly."
Mizukage Shirou nodded slightly and mused:
"After I return, I'll research whether I can modify ninjutsu into versions that consume magic power."
Compared to Chakra, magic power was clearly far more universal.
Black Dragon Shirou looked around at everyone and sighed.
"Fine. After I return, I'll read more books and try to memorize the knowledge of every school of magic."
"Me too!" Tohsaka Shirou nodded repeatedly in agreement. "However, the Tohsaka family has limited magic tomes, so you'd better not expect too much."
"No need! You should just go study Redism properly." Slime Shirou said with a light laugh.
"That's right. We're counting on you to study Redism." Mizukage Shirou followed up. "Recently, I've also been preparing to unify the Ninja World."
"You're still planning to unify the Ninja World? The moment your identity is exposed, you'll immediately become a public enemy of the Ninja World, won't you?" Tohsaka Shirou teased.
"How is that possible? I turned the Ninja World, where men outnumbered women, into a kingdom of women. Every man in the Ninja World should be thanking me."
"I think the Ninja World is full of idiots. The Four Great Shinobi Villages have all become kingdoms of women, and only your Kirigakure has remained unchanged. If it were me, I would've already united the whole Ninja World and ganged up on Kirigakure."
"Haha... So what if they figure it out? Are they coming over to offer themselves up? By then, the Ninja World will have another huge wave of women."
"You'll sooner or later go too far."
"What am I afraid of? Who knows I did it? I'm a civilian from Kirigakure with no bloodline limit. What do I have to do with the famous Uchiha?"
Seeing the smile on his face, Celestial Dragon Shirou could not help thinking of his own world.
If Luffy's three brothers, the Yonko, and the Shichibukai all became women...
Female Whitebeard, Female Kaido...
No, that's too disgusting!
He shook his head repeatedly and threw that terrifying thought out of his mind.
As expected, people who did research were never normal.
"Tohsaka, I don't know where the Imitation Fruit is. If I can't get it for a long time, do you have any other fruit options?"
"Let me think..."
"How about the Rumble-Rumble Fruit? The strongest Logia-type. I'm about to get it."
"The Rumble-Rumble Fruit? Sakura has me protecting her, so she doesn't need to fight at all. Giving her the Rumble-Rumble Fruit would be a bit of a waste. Besides, if we eventually figure out how to let one person eat two Devil Fruits, wouldn't it be perfect for me to use?"
"By then, we definitely won't need the Rumble-Rumble Fruit anymore. In that case, how about the Smooth-Smooth Fruit? It can make Sakura even prettier."
"No. Sakura is already beautiful enough. If she becomes even prettier, daily life will be dangerous."
"That's true, haha... No wonder you don't want the Love-Love Fruit."
"That isn't the reason. I think the Love-Love Fruit suits Hancock better."
"Hancock? She's too weak. The Love-Love Fruit doesn't actually improve combat power much either. I want to give her a Logia-type or a Mythical Zoan."
"Why not teach her magic?"
"Practicing magic requires time and talent. The speed at which it makes someone stronger is far slower than Devil Fruit development. Besides, there are too many scoundrels in the world. I don't want to spread magic around."
"That's true."
Before they knew it, night had grown late. After saying their goodbyes, they turned and left.
After returning to the Pirate World, he made himself a cup of tea. Just as he sat down in his chair, someone knocked on the door.
Shirou instinctively swept the area with Observation Haki and discovered Hancock along with two unfamiliar women. He immediately understood.
They should be her two younger sisters, and she wanted him to help remove their tattoos.
"Come in, Hancock."
"Yes, my lord."
When she opened the door, Hancock was immediately stunned.
Standing before her was not the former owner, the Celestial Dragon Child, but a blue-haired beautiful girl.
"Y-you... who are you?"
I Want to See This World
Chapter 39: I Want to See This World
Shirou froze slightly, then quickly realized that while fooling around with his other selves just now, he had mimicked King of All Monsters Shirou's appearance and had not changed back.
"Mime—release!"
In an instant, he returned to his own appearance.
"What do you need from me?"
"Can you... freely turn into other people?" Hancock asked cautiously.
At the same time, a suspicion arose in her heart.
Could this person be pretending to be a Celestial Dragon? I knew it. What kind of Celestial Dragon would be this kindhearted?
"Of course not. I can only turn into the forms of my other selves."
Shirou smiled and demonstrated it for her.
"Like this. Mime—Acunologiya."
The next moment, his body suddenly grew taller, and in the blink of an eye, he became a dark-skinned young man with an overwhelmingly imposing presence.
"Mime—Tohsaka Shirou."
His body changed again, becoming a red-haired child who somewhat resembled his original form.
"Mime—Tyrant's Coachman."
He changed once more. Blond hair, blue eyes, and faintly similar features, yet at first glance he was completely unfamiliar.
As for animals, Shirou did not transform into any. He intended to keep that as a secret.
"A-amazing!" Hancock hesitantly asked, "So Mr. Acunologiya is what you'll look like when you grow up?"
"Not entirely."
Shirou sat down again, leaned back in his chair, and said with a smile:
Before you continue
