After a while, the chaotic scene finally settled down. Everyone stepped back and started fixing their messy clothes.
Some still had footprints all over them.
But the worst off was undoubtedly Pirate Renzo—there wasn't a single spot on his body that was unharmed, even his hairstyle was completely ruined.
"You guys are savages!"
"Animals! How could you do this to my pure body?!" Pirate Renzo grumbled with frustration.
Then, he turned toward the real culprit—Uchiha Renzo—who was sitting on the side, snickering while watching the show. Pointing at him angrily, he yelled:
"You're still laughing?! This is all your fault! What grudge do you have against me?! You actually stomped on my face and then shifted the blame onto someone else?! That's too much!"
Uchiha Renzo simply shrugged with a smirk.
"Blame yourself for that."
"Who told you to shout like that? And who was the first to jump in and start the commotion?"
"That was just my reflex!"
Pirate Renzo's face darkened. "So you're telling me this is all my fault?!"
"Yup."
Uchiha Renzo nodded seriously, then glanced around at the others. "What do you all think? Am I right or what?"
Demon Slayer Renzo: "Right!"
Swordsman Renzo: "Makes sense!"
Apocalypse Renzo: "Everything is Pirate Renzo's fault!"
Hentai Renzo: "Exactly!"
Eevee Renzo: "Serves him right!"
Python Renzo: "That was fun! Let's do it again!"
"Hey, hey! You guys are too much!" Pirate Renzo was fuming.
"Especially you, Python! You actually want to go for round two?! Have you been influenced by your snake instincts or something?!"
"That's gotta be it, right?!"
He then pointed accusingly at Python Renzo.
The others all turned to stare at him.
Python Renzo awkwardly laughed. "Ahahaha… I didn't mean to! It was pure instinct! Don't blame me!"
"Yeah, right! Like hell I'd believe you!" Pirate Renzo rolled his eyes.
"Alright, enough nonsense! Let's check out the new hacks that Uchiha Renzo unlocked!"
Eevee's eyes lit up with excitement. It was particularly interested in the first dōjutsu—Takamagahara.
This ability allowed it to freely use all sorts of jutsu within the domain without any restrictions.
"Now that's OP!" Swordsman Renzo nodded.
"One skill unifies all powers and temporarily removes the limitations of our different worlds."
"The other can analyze everything—paired with Fantasy Creation, it's practically a god-tier ability!"
He turned to look at Uchiha Renzo.
"The Mangekyō Sharingan is also called the 'Mirror of the Soul.' It looks like these two abilities reflect your strongest desires, right? Pretty impressive."
If it were him, his abilities would probably enhance swordsmanship and overall strength.
"Hahaha!" Pirate Renzo chuckled.
"That Omniscience ability is amazing! I was just worrying about how to deal with Devil Fruits if we found any. But now, I don't have to! I can just analyze them one by one with this dōjutsu."
"This way, I won't even need to eat them—I can completely break down their structure and information, then use Creation to replicate and improve them into flawless versions!"
Once that happened, he could freely choose a powerful Logia, Zoan Mythical-type, or an incredibly strong Paramecia-type Devil Fruit to eat!
"Hey, do you guys think we could eat 36 Devil Fruits in total?" Pirate Renzo asked the group excitedly.
If that was possible, then things were about to get insanely overpowered.
He was about to become unstoppable!
From now on, everyone should just call him "The Ultimate Carry".
"Uh…"
Unfortunately, the reaction he got wasn't what he expected.
Everyone just stared at him with blank expressions.
"Come on! Say something! What do you guys think of my idea? Isn't it awesome?" Pirate Renzo urged.
Swordsman Renzo replied coldly. "Not really."
Gundam Renzo nodded. "Agreed."
Demon Slayer Renzo shrugged. "Sounds ridiculous. Let's see if it even works first."
Then, he added: "Also, I'd advise against experimenting recklessly. If you eat two Devil Fruits and just drop dead, that'd be a problem."
"Of course, if you're willing to sacrifice yourself for science, that'd actually be great! We could use you as a test subject to see what happens when one of us dies."
This was actually a topic that Uchiha Renzo and the others had discussed before.
But they never reached a conclusion.
After all, they didn't have a test subject, and sadly, no one wanted to volunteer out of curiosity.
Hero Renzo also shook his head. "Better to be cautious. But, if it doeswork… man, you'd be ridiculously OP."
Apocalypse Renzo speculated, "Or maybe the whole 'only one Devil Fruit per person' rule is just a flaw that can be optimized?"
"That would be amazing!" Pirate Renzo waggled his eyebrows.
If that were the case, then the chances of eating multiple Devil Fruits would skyrocket! They could even capture Teach in the future if they needed to find another way.
"Speaking of which, Pirate bro, how about we make a deal?" Eevee and Python both looked at Pirate Renzo with eager eyes.
"When the time comes, why don't you eat a Human-Human Fruit?"
If they could use a Zoan-type Human-Human Fruit to transform into humans, that would be pretty awesome.
"Yeah, no thanks!"
Pirate Renzo immediately crossed his arms in an "X" gesture.
"Unless I knowI can eat all 36 Fruits, I'm not wasting one on something pointless."
A human eating a Human-Human Fruit? That's just a waste!
"Yeah, that'd be pretty stupid." Gundam Renzo nodded in agreement.
Uchiha Renzo, on the other hand, took advantage of Eevee being distracted and patted its head a few times.
"You really don't need to rush this, you know. Cynthia's still young. Even if you could take human form now, you wouldn't be able to do anything with it."
"And don't forget—you're still just a little over a year old. You sure your human form wouldn't just be a tiny kid?"
As he spoke, Uchiha Renzo gestured with his hands, clearly teasing.
Eevee: "..."
For a long moment, Eevee just stood there, processing.
Then, realizing the trap, it snapped, "Can you stop petting me, you bastard?!"
It ran off to sulk in the corner of the table.
It completely forgot its own age.
"Damn it! If Uchiha Renzo's right, even when Cynthia grows up, I might stillbe a little kid!"
"Or… wait. Do Eevees have shorter lifespans? Maybe I mature faster?"
"Wait, how long is an Eevee's lifespan again? I think I forgot… I need to check when I get back!"
Hopefully, it wasn't the worst-case scenario.
Otherwise, it'd have to find a way to forcefully speed up its growth.
Eevee thought the only thing standing between it and Cynthia was taking human form.
But reality just slapped it in the face.

"With this Mangekyō ability, I can probably take care of Kibutsuji Muzan ahead of schedule." Demon Slayer Renzo mused to himself.
Before, he was still lacking in strength.
He couldn't guarantee an instant kill on Muzan, which meant the demon would just escape again.
But now, with Takamagahara, as long as he could trap Muzan in his domain, there'd be no running away.
Pair that with ninjutsu techniques… maybe Fire Release could burn Muzan to death?
…No, that still felt risky.
He turned to Uchiha Renzo and asked, "Do you think Fire Release could kill Muzan?"
Uchiha Renzo shrugged. "How the hell should I know?"
That was something that needed to be tested in battle.
"Eevee, when are you gonna unlock Flareon and learn moves like Solar Beam, Solar Blade, Sunny Day, or Solar Flare?" Demon Slayer Renzo asked expectantly.
"Hah?"
Eevee gave him a deadpan look.
"Dude, I haven't even figured out how to unlock the next evolution yet. You're asking way too much! Also, since when can Flareon even learn all these moves?"
"Why not?" Demon Slayer Renzo spread his hands.
"You already learnedHeal Pulse, which even Espeon isn't supposed to be able to learn. If you're gonna be breaking the rules anyway, then there's no reason you shouldn't be able to master Sunny Day and others once you evolve into Flareon."
"Who are you again? You're supposed to be the future God-Eevee!"
"You're going to fuse all eighteen Pokémon types into the ultimate Eevee—Arceevee! You're seriously telling me you don't have the confidence for this?"
Demon Slayer Renzo gave Eevee a condescending look, as if saying: "No way… you're not actually this weak, are you?"
