Shirou's Thirty Million Avatars

"Don't say 'but'—I don't want to hear it."

"Even so, I have to say it! But I don't remember the revolution-related knowledge too clearly—no, to be honest, I never studied it properly in the first place, only grasping the gist. So, go study up on Redism! The more, the better—you have to memorize it inside and out!"

"No way! I'll buy the books and bring them in; you take them and read them yourself."

"I hate reading!"

"Who doesn't?"

"Please, I'm begging you!"

"Do not do to others what you do not want done to yourself—have you forgotten that principle?"

"But I'm not asking someone else—I'm asking myself! You are me; your effort is my effort."

"Do you even believe that yourself? Anyway, no. I hate reading too."

"The reason I'm not studying isn't unwillingness—it's inconvenience and lack of time. I've got a lot to do next."

Celestial Dragon Shirou paused, then said with a grin:

"But you're different! You're an elementary school student—light coursework, plenty of free time every day. Plus, among us, you're the only modern person. If you want to learn something, just hit a bookstore or the internet—it's easy to find."

So infuriating!

No rebuttal possible.

Tohsaka Shirou hesitated a few seconds, then raised his index finger and said seriously:

"I have one condition!"

Section 38 Chapter 38: You'll Screw Up Eventually

"Thank you so much! What condition?" Celestial Dragon Shirou asked excitedly.

Tohsaka Shirou didn't answer directly, instead talking about his current situation:

"Lately, Little Rin said she wants to cut off part of the Tohsaka family's Magic Crest and give it to Sakura, so she can train in the Tohsaka family's Jewel Magic too."

"But Sakura won't agree. The sisters have argued several times over it, and I'm stuck in the middle, at a loss for how to persuade them."

"So, I came up with an idea—give Sakura a Devil Fruit. That way, even without the Magic Crest, she can keep getting stronger."

"Give Little Rin some jewels so she doesn't have to worry about training resources."

"That should gradually smooth things over between them."

"No problem!" Celestial Dragon Shirou smiled and pointed toward the treasury. "The Love-Love Fruit—take it! Or take all those fruits and let Sakura pick whichever she likes."

"No, I want the Paramecia Gold-Gold Fruit."

"That..."

Celestial Dragon Shirou hesitated for a moment.

The Gold-Gold Fruit was a strategic resource. While it couldn't create gold directly, it could prospect for gold mines and extract gold from them.

In the future, when overthrowing the World Government, the more gold, the better.

"Why the Gold-Gold Fruit?"

"Is it not okay? If I remember right, at this point in your timeline, Tesoro hasn't eaten a Devil Fruit yet."

Shirou paused, then added:

"If we have the Gold-Gold Fruit, the Tohsaka family can prospect for undiscovered gold mines everywhere and quickly become the richest in the world."

"That reason's not strong enough. Shake on it!"

Their hands touched. Tohsaka Shirou looked at Celestial Dragon Shirou in surprise and let out a soft sigh:

"Yeah, you need the Gold-Gold Fruit more. Fine, then the Imitation Fruit it is."

"Ugh... Pervert! Scumbag! Deviant!"

"That's harsh—you're definitely thinking dirty! Giving Sakura the Imitation Fruit is just so she can copy my abilities, making it easier to teach her Color of Arms Haki, Color of Observation Haki, the Six Powers, and Fairy Tail World magic. Without the Imitation Fruit, she'd probably struggle to learn those cross-world power systems."

"Oh, really? (Sneer)"

"Is that even a question?"

"Shake on it?"

"Hold on, let me get in the mood first."

"Pervert! Scumbag! Won't even spare a little girl."

"Reflection! Everything you said bounces back!"

The others watched the two in silence, thinking in unison:

Are you kids?

Can you stop arguing using my face? So embarrassing.

King of All Monsters Shirou muttered inwardly, then turned his burning gaze toward Black Dragon King himself.

"Black Dragon, there's tons of magic in the Fairy Tail world, right? You should hit the books too."

"Do I need to? Isn't my Dark Dragon Slayer Magic enough?"

Black Dragon Shirou frowned slightly. As fellow Shirous, none of them liked sitting still to read.

"Our strength is enough for now, but my subordinates aren't there yet. If they learn magic from the Fairy Tail world, they can get stronger too."

Slime Shirou glanced at Mizukage Shirou and chuckled:

"Too bad chakra and ninjutsu only work for us in other worlds—they're not teachable. Otherwise, even just the Three Body Technique would let Shuna and the others boost their power big time."

Mizukage Shirou nodded slightly, pondering:

"I'll look into it when I get back, see if I can tweak ninjutsu into a version that consumes magic power."

Compared to chakra, magic power was clearly more universal.

Black Dragon Shirou scanned the room and sighed:

"Fine, I'll read more when I'm back and try to memorize all the magic knowledge from every school."

"Me too!" Tohsaka Shirou nodded eagerly, adding, "But the Tohsaka family's magic books are limited, so don't get your hopes up too high."

"No need! You'd better stick to learning Redism." Slime Shirou said with a light laugh.

"Right, leave the Redism stuff to you." Mizukage Shirou followed up. "Lately, I've been prepping to unify the Ninja World."

"You're unifying the Ninja World? Once your identity leaks, won't you instantly become public enemy number one?" Tohsaka Shirou teased.

"How's that possible? I turned the Ninja World, where men outnumber women, into a land of girls. Every man in the Ninja World should be thanking me."

"I think the Ninja World's full of idiots. The Four Great Shinobi Villages are all girl lands except your Kirigakure. If it were me, I'd have united the whole Ninja World to gang up on your village."

"Haha... Even if they figure it out, so what? Come feed me kills? Then the Ninja World would just get another wave of women."

"You're gonna screw up sooner or later."

"What's there to fear? Who knows it was me? I'm just a commoner from Kirigakure with no bloodline limit—what do I have to do with the famous Uchiha?"

Watching his grin, Celestial Dragon Shirou couldn't help thinking of his own world, musing:

If Luffy's three brothers, the Yonko, and the Shichibukai were all turned into women...

Female Whitebeard, Female Kaido...

No, that's disgusting!

He shook his head hard, tossing that awful thought aside.

Sure enough, science types were never normal.

"Tohsaka, I don't know where the Imitation Fruit is. If I can't get it forever, do you have any backup fruits?"

"Let me think..."

"How about the Rumble-Rumble Fruit? Strongest Logia-type—I'm about to grab it."

"Rumble-Rumble? Sakura's got me protecting her, she doesn't need to fight. Giving her the Rumble-Rumble Fruit would be a waste. Plus, if we ever figure out a way for someone to eat two Devil Fruits, wouldn't it be perfect for me?"

"By then, you probably wouldn't even need the Rumble-Rumble Fruit. In that case, how about the Smooth-Smooth Fruit? It could make Sakura even prettier."

"No, Sakura's already beautiful enough. Any prettier, and daily life would get too dangerous."

"True, haha... No wonder you didn't want the Love-Love Fruit."

"That's not it. I think the Love-Love Fruit suits Hancock better."

"Hancock? Her strength's too weak, and the Love-Love Fruit doesn't boost power much. I was thinking of giving her a Logia or a Mythical Zoan."

"Why not teach her magic?"

"Learning magic takes time and talent—way slower than developing a Devil Fruit. Besides, there are too many scumbags out there. I don't want to spread magic around."

"Fair point."

Before they knew it, the night had deepened. After saying their goodbyes, they turned and left.

Back in the Pirate World, he brewed himself a cup of tea. Just as he sat down in his chair, a knock came at the door.

Shirou instinctively swept with Observation Haki and found Hancock with two unfamiliar women. It clicked immediately.

These must be her two sisters, here to ask him to remove their tattoos.

"Come in, Hancock."

"Yes, sir."

The door opened, and Hancock froze in shock.

Before her wasn't the original Celestial Dragon Child, but a blue-haired beauty.

"You... who are you?"

Chapter 39: I Want to Go See This World

Section 39, Chapter 39: I Want to Go See This World

Shirou paused briefly, then quickly realized—while messing around with the other versions of himself earlier, he'd mimicked Rimuru's form and hadn't switched back yet.

"Mimicry—Cancel!"

In an instant, he reverted to his own appearance.

"What did you want to see me about?"

"You... can freely take on the appearance of others?" Hancock asked cautiously.

At the same time, a suspicion rose in her mind.

Could this guy be disguising himself as a Celestial Dragon? I knew it—no way a Celestial Dragon would be this kind-hearted.

"Of course not. I can only turn into other versions of myself."

Shirou chuckled and demonstrated for her.

"Like this—Mimicry—Acunologiya. "

The next moment, his body grew taller out of thin air, transforming into an imposing, dark-skinned young man.

"Mimicry—Tohsaka Shirou. "

His form shifted again, becoming a red-haired child who somewhat resembled his original self.

"Mimicry—Tyrant's Coachman. "

Another change—blond hair, blue eyes, with a faint similarity in the brow, but at first glance, a complete stranger.

As for animals, Shirou didn't bother transforming, planning to keep that as a secret.

"A-amazing!" Hancock hesitated, then asked, "So then, Mr. Acunologiya is what you look like when you grow up?"

"Not entirely."

Shirou sat back down, leaning against the chair, and smiled.
