Jayr POV - Blue Star, Grand Line, Nanatsu Isnds(Na) - 20 GAP

  As I'm chasing after Simon after leaving behind, Koby, and the Fish-people Gad, Sephir, Rubis, and Emeraude, I think back to everything that happened before I saved Koby, and the Fish-people's ass from certaih.

  After "assaulting" the headquarters of the Simon Pirates, Fortress of Zahado, finding out the actual reason behind their as, and reading through all the information Simon had orue treasure hidden in this archipego, I quickly teleported to the small rock at the ter of the ring formed by the Nanatsu Isnds just in time to watch Simon summon the seventh unseen isnd, Na Isnd.

  At that point, I could have easily taken care of Simon and his people, but then I felt that Koby was also quickly approag the isnd, and more importantly, he wasn't alohere was a familiar person with him, a woman he knew very well, Alvida of all the people.

  I don't know what twisted joke of fate was allowing those two people to meet as before I saved him Koby was forced to serve as a chore boy under Alvida and her crew for a few months after he had actally boarded their ship, and because of his cowardice, he would do whatever he was ordered to do without question, moreover, he was often mocked and mistreated by the pirates in Alvida's crew, basically Alvida and her pirate crew are very likely the ohat sparked in Koby his desire to be a strong marine so that he could protect the people for pirates like them.

  But what surprised me, even more, was actually the presence of Alvida on the Grand Line of all the pces, plus she had clearly eaten the Sube Sube no Mi (Smooth Smooth Fruit) something that shouldn't have happened yet, but that isn't what surprises me the most as Fate itself is a very real and powerful force, it exists throughout the Omniverse that binds and affects all, so the fact that some "events" are meant to happen in some ways or others isn't strange.

  Luckily Fate itself isn't an omnipotent force, as it be defied, rejected, and eveo the will of those powerful enough to do so or who have their support, as I and many of my felloions have already done so before thanks to the support of the Blessing we have received from the cepts which also helps us with that, even if I have an inkling that the cept of Fate itself also allowed the Fate of this Omniverse to be more "flexible" to make the Battle Across The Omniverse more iing.

  Anyway, what surprised me the most, wasn't Alvida's presence, her ueam-up with Koby, or the fact that she ate the Sube Sube no Mi (Smooth Smooth Fruit), no, what surprised me the most was the ge she went through in these few months, when I first met her, in my eyes, her soul was exactly like I expected to be shining in a light red color, showing her slightly evil attitude, but now her in my eyes her soul shines in a light indigo color, showing that she ged her way of life and started to genuely help people, and she did that a lot to have ged so mu so little time.

  Seeing that, I decided to not act against Simon and remain hidden so that I could follow after Koby and Alvida a Koby gain some more experiehat would surely be useful iure, so I waited for them to reaa Isnd's shores.

  Once Alvida's ship nded on the shore, the pair quickly nded and started to study their surroundings, thearted to analyze the current situation, at that moment, I also learhe reason behind Alvida's ge and her presence here, but what is worse is that Koby had the gall to throw me uhe bus by tellihat I would gdly accept her as my lover now that she is a better person.

  While I admit that I'm very tempted by the idea as let's admit it, she is one of the most beautiful women in this world, I don't think it is right to let my lower half dictate such decisions, especially when I'm having a family vacation with the kids, and I admit I also fear Seika, Saori, Eri, and Tio's rea to her appearand determination, especially since I don't feel good at ht reject her as she clearly ged her way of life ahrough a dangerous journey aloo chase after me which is quite fttering.

  Such a situation caused me to scratch my head as I thought about this problem, 'What a mess... what should I do now?' at the same time, I brought out my inner ese Cultivator as I looked at Koby, 'That damn junior is c death! He doesn't know how the immensity of heavens ah... I'll double his training difficulty starting tomorrow!'

  After I decided Koby's fate, I watched as they came up with a sound pn to deal with their enemies, I was especially impressed when Koby came up with a way to deal damage to the Logia Type Devil Fruit User Simon using some simple rudimentary indiary bombs taking advantage of the information that old man Ko gave us.

  Then I followed the pair as they moved through the forest and once again, I couldn't help but nod proudly watg how Koby moved through the dangers of the forest, showing once again just how muy lessons he digested, and the smile grew even bigger as Koby closed his eyes to cut off his sense of sight so that he focus on his others seo track down Simon and the others.

  After some time, Koby was finally able to find them and was then able to successfully track them down, but before he could take advantage of the element of surprise, Alvida messes everything up by carelessly revealing their position, and quickly after that, the battle between two groups starts with the man named Zabal attag Alvida with a deadly strike without aation.

  But the fight ended just as quickly as it started as Alvida's Sube Sube no Mi (Smooth Smooth Fruit) is just too broken in this kind of situation, and Alvida easily defeats him with a powerful swing of her heavy, spiky Iron Mace.

  At that point, the big bad Simon finally snaps, and like the most clichè of the vilihlessly kills his own subordinate for the mere fact that he was defeated by a superior oppo, not only that, but he seemed i on killing everyone else too.

  But this was a good event for me as in his blind fury, Simon revealed a piece of crucial information about his capabilities as he killed Zabal, he showed that he is capable of using a form of Magie kind of Symbol or Runic magic, but I don't kly whie as they aren't my specialty.

  I'm leaning more toward the former as to use Runic Magie has to have not only a clear i and uanding when f the ru it must also use its own Magic Power to form or carve the ru is quite slow magic to cast moreover their effects vary depending by the uanding of the caster, while Symbol Magic is a lot easier, their effect is mostly fixed moreover, they are a lot less costly to use, one only he materials and must draw the symbols perfectly for them to work.

  Despite their differehe main weakness of these two forms of magic is the same, damage the rune or symbol in any way and they will turn into useless trash.

  Anyway, the fact that Simon showed capable of using a form of magic made it more likely for him to truly be the Champion reinated into this Universe as even if magiewhat exists in this Universe, I think that it is something quite rare and difficult to use sidering just how few people are truly capable of using it and even that with limited success and effectiveness, like Jango with his strange hypnosis, and Miss Goldenweek, whily now I realize, uses a simir Symbol Magic, but she seems to be only able to manipute her targets emotions.

  ing to that clusion, I decided to tio watd not atil absolutely necessary so that I could further firm his capabilities.

  As Simon was ag like a third-css vilin, Koby took advantage of this moment to throw his rudimentary indiary bomb to take advantage of the natural weakhat paper has against fire, but it resulted iive as Simon used his Symbol Magic to nullify that weakness by creating a wall of paper with a symbol which has the capability to absorb fire.

  At the same time, Alvida took advantage of Simon's distra to move behind him and lit her Iron Ma fire before attag him, but her attaded in failure as Simon was able to rea time and capture her, using once again the fire abs symbol to e her attack.

  Then the Fish-women decided to fight bad released a quite powerful bitack, but it was once again easily ed by Simon who used a water-abs symbol this time, then he terattacked by ung a storm of sharp sheets of paper which made me shudder a little as I remembered just how painful paper cuts were in my past life, but then I remembered everything I went through in this life and calm down as I experienced much worse pains.

  While I was going through that, the fish-man called Gad started to spin his massive on, a long polearm with the head of a hammer at the end, in a circur motion with great speed and power so much that a small twister formed around himself, then, once he gathered enough power, he swung his on toward the ining razor sharp storm sheets geing a powerful horizontal cye which swept away everything in its path.

  I was impressed by this teique which was unleashed with pure physical power, but even this attack was useless as Simoed a circur wall of paper in front of him, but it was different from the other ohis one geed a quite strong Magical Barrier that easily repelled Gad's horizontal cye.

  And seeing that made me realize, 'From what I could se seems that the barrier's primary fun is to rejed disperse any strong air currents, which makes sense as something as light as the paper is easily affected by such forces... I have to admit that Simon was quite crafty, he made use of that Symbol Magic to not only enhance his offensive capabilities but more importantly to cover all the innate weakhat his Devil Fruit imposed on him.'

  This also made me uand why he is sant because he truly has nothing to fear in this part of the world, physical attacks are useless thanks to the innate capacity of his Logia Type Devil Fruit which allows him to transform his whole body into sheets of paper to avoid damage, moreover, the natural elements that restrain or directly ter him are also made useless thanks to his Symbol Magic, then the only thing he has to fear are ic User, which are very scard mostly weak in this world from what I know, and truly powerful Haki Users which mostly reside in the New World.

  While all that was going through my mind, Simon finally decided to take his gloves off and unleashed a myriad of sheets of paper which started to quickly spin around Koby and the Fish-people f a giant cye of paper, moreover, eae of these paper had a symbol drawn on them which shines brighter and brighter as I feel fire and lightning elements gather on eae of the symbols, making me realize that he is about to unleash a very big and powerful explosion, one impossible for any of the people trapped into the paper cye to defend.

  At that point, I khat it was time for me to act, so I quickly erected a barrier and protected Koby, Gad, Saphir, Rubis, and Emeraude from the stant onsught of fire and lightning explosions, and after that, here I'm chasing after Simon as he rushes toward the tall mountain at the ter of this isnd, under which the Ku Sivan Ruins be found, the resting pce of the biological on know as Shushibaruba is resting, a truly terrifying on for the people of this world, si is the true ultimate nemesis of the Devil Fruits, created specifically to fight against them, or at the least this is what was written on that a scroll.

  The reason for that is quite simple, Shushibaruba is able to e the powers of any Devil Fruit User it touches, not only that but it grows stronger every time it eats and es a Devil Fruit User, moreover as long as it is active the Devil Fruits of the user he ate won't be able to reinate, that in itself is quite a terrifying power especially if allowed to run rampant.

  After a few seds, I'm finally standing in front of a rge waterfall in a somber mountain range which, acc to the scroll I have read in the Simon Pirates' Headquarters, marks the entrao the Ku Sivan Ruins.

  I don't hesitate and walk toward the small hidden path that leads to the entrance of the ruins, and quickly I find myself beyond the waterfall where lies a massive, ragged, dark room, it's covered in rat droppings, rge bones, broken stones, and cobwebs everywhere, the only source of light, not that I truly since I still have the night vision grao me by the monster meat of the Arifureta Universe, are the many lit torches affixed to the wall, very likely lit up by Simon himself, I also see ed and molteal remnants, fotten and butchered by time itself, giving me an idea on just how long this isnd and these ruins remained untouched.

  Seeing all that, I 't help but ent out loud, "Well, for sure this ruin has the atmosphere I expected from a tury-old ruin, in fact, it only needs a few big ass spiders, some good old racist Nord Draugr and I'll feel like I'm actually in the Elder Scroll Universe expl some abandoned keep or Nord Tomb... Aahh, and now I feel like pying Skyrim once again... Maybe after I'm doh this, I for sure will hunt down some Giants, as I kinda miss the Giants' Space Program... Wait! Could that absurd event happen for real in the Elder Scroll Universe!? Now, I'm tempted to go there a in person!"

  While my mind wanders, I don't stop and tio move forward and further ahead I find three paths, but thanks to my sense, I already know that the right and the left ones are dead ends, so I don't hesitate and pick the middle path, especially since, I sehat Simon further ahead as he is getting closer to the Nu Sivan Kuru chamber in the depths of the ruihe seventh, true treasure, Shushibaruba, is resting.

  The tral path has a very twisted trail that leads to several rooms and damaged rooms with all kinds of very strange and old maery all over the pce, probably they are workshops of some sort, making me realize that maybe this is actually the pce where Shushibaruba was actually created.

  I tio proceed onwards, deeper into the ruin's depths, passing by various different rooms, some just like those workshops I saw before, others filled with all kinds of cages which still hold skeletal remains of tless species, and not only animals, but also Humans, Fish-men, Merfolk, Minks, Giants, Skypieans, Shandia, Birkans, and these are only the ones I ame as there are many others that I don't reize.

  By the way, the reason I easily dis those three Sky Isnd Residents is only from the size and shape of the skeletal wings on their back as, if I remember well, the Skypieans possess the smallest followed by the Shandia, and right after them there are the Birkans, whipared to the other two, besides being rger, their wings point downward, but those aren't the skeletons with the rgest wings, as I notiother one very different from all the other, his wings are huge like those of an angel, and look as they were capable of actual flight.

  Overall, It is clear that to create something as monstrous as Shushibaruba, this a civilization sacrificed and experimented on tless beings.

  While quickly gng inside and studying these rooms, I tio tread deeper into the ruin, passing by a few more passages, most of which look just like the others, aually, I make it to what is likely the final room, the Nu Sivan Kuru chamber.

  A massive granite door separates the path from the resting pce of Shushibaruba, they have tless odd symbols all over it, somehow untouched by time and the elements but not by the rge cw marks are all over it.

  The doors are slightly open, and I clearly hear Simon's voiing from the inside as he ughs, "Fuhahaha! Yes! It's here!! Just like that a scroll said!! The true ultimate on, Shushibaruba!! With its power, I'll be finally able to take my rightful pce as the ruler of this world! Now I only have to awaken it from its turies-long sleep by feeding it these imperfect beings and all its legendary power will be in my hands! I'll finally be able to make everyone bow before in front of my perfect existence! Even those arrogant bastards of the Wover will be forced to kneel before me and aowledge me as their supreme ruler! Refusal will be met with death aru of everything they hold dear! Fuhahaha!!"

  Hearing that, I 't help but internally groan while thinking, 'What the hell!? Did this guy truly do an evil monologue when no one is there to listen to him... no wait! There is someone, Alvida, and those other 3 captured Devil Fruit Users are actually there with him, so it isn't as ge... well, not by much a the very least, but I still feel a strong sedhand embarrassment, especially when I remember some bck history from my early teens years...'

  While I'm thinking that, I once again hear Simon's voice as he says, "Well, before all that, I have to fully awaken Shushibaruba... and the only way to do that is to feed him some Devil Fruit User... so from whie should I start?"

  At this point, I don't hesitate and step ihe Nu Sivan Kuru chamber while calmly warning Simon out loud, "I wouldn't do that if I were in your shoes."

  Hearing my voice, Simon turns around and asks in an aone, "Who the fuck are you!? Another one of those inferior beings that stupidly tries to stop me from achieving what is rightful mine...?"

  As he tio rambles. I look behind him and focus ohical Shushibaruba which is currently in its dormant form, which is basically a big, translut sphere resembling frogspawn, quite a disgusting sight.

  Spoiler

  [colpse]While I'm looking at the a biological on, Simon tinues with his silly rambles, "How dare you try to stop me!? Me!? You ignorant ape!" which makes me sigh, before I look back at the enraged Simon and say in an aone, "You stupid idiot, I was just kind enough to stop you from actually killing yourself!"

  At the same time, I'm thinking, 'Especially since if he gets killed by Shushibaruba, and he is actually the Champion of this Universe, then his Blessing will be sent in a Random "petition" Universe and used as a prize. Something that I'd like to truly avoid as my Champions' Challeh Nikita taught me that those kinds of petition be quite tricky. If the petition Universe is one where there is some kind of fighting tour like, I don't know, Tekken, Street Fighter, History's Stro Disciple Kenichi, then I feel I have a good ce of victory, but if I end up in world like Captain Tsubasa, Prince of Tennis, Haikyuu or other sports anime/manga world where the cepts will surely restrict my abilities to that of the people of those Universe then things could not go in my favor...'

  Before he could say anything else, I tinued, "I don't know where you get your fidence, but if you have read that scroll very carefully you should know that Shushibaruba will attad e any Devil Fruit User in its viity to grow in power."

  Hearing that, Simon replies in a smug tohat's right! Isn't it perfect? I already brought 4 of those imperfect Devil Fruit Users! After ing those four its power would surely spike and with its power under my trol I will bee-" but before he could repeat his catchphrase once more, I interrupt him and say, "Hey, genius! You are a Devil Fruit User too! That means that you won't be able to trol Shushibaruba as it will be too busy eating you too!"

  At this point, Simon looks genuinely fused as he asks, "What the hell are you saying?" then he expins, "I'm not like those imperfect Devil Fruit Users that had to eat some stupid fruit to have some kind of pathetic power. I'm different, I'm better, I'm a superior being who was born with his invincible powers! Not some pathetic loser that had to be lucky to ce upon some lesser ones!" Hearing that, I begin to doubt that the person in front of me is a champion, but then I start to go over all the information I know about him and e up with a theory, 'Wait! Could it be that he doesn't know that he is actually a Devil Fruit User? After all, he was knocked out when he was fed the Devil Fruit, moreover, the Blessing does give us Champions some minor powers. Is it possible that he believes that his current powers are thanks to the Blessing and not to the fact that he ate a Devil Fruit? Could someoruly be so clueless?'

  Suddenly, I hear Culture's voi my mind as it ughs out loud, [Cuahahahah! This is too much! I 't hold it anymore! e on Jayr just how plex are you making this? Have you never heard of Occam's razor before? The most simple answer is usually the right one! Cuahahahah!]

  Hearing that I 't help but suddenly realize that I was really too focused on the "fact" that Simon is the Champion on the point that I was actually f the logic behind his every a to corroborate the theory that he was the Champion, instead of the more simple ahat he is likely just anood old pirate with a god plex. At the same time, Simon yells, "It's too te! You won't be able to fool and stop me from taking what is rightful mine!"

  Seeing that, I sigh, then in the most deadpan tone I muster, I simply say, "Ok..." while stepping back just outside the entrance showing that I have no iion of stopping him.

  At the same time, I use my Telekinesis t the co of paper taining Alvida to me as she is the only one worth saving as the other three sacrifices are clearly very shitty people as their souls shine in a dark red, almost bck light, just like Simon's soul is, meanwhile I also use my Spiral o to cut off Simon's e to it.

  Of course, Simon is too focused on Shushibaruba now to notice what I have just done, as he doesn't hesitate to throw the sack, the jar, and the other co into the big, translut sphere which is Shushibaruba Dormant Form, and quickly after that, the translut sphere starts to rhythmically pulse making Simon excims, "Yes! Yes! YES!! It's w! It is awakening!!"

  Then Simon spreads his arms wide and proudly decres, "Awaken, Shushibaruba! Greet yhtful master!" in response a big purple tentacle suddenly es out of the pulsing sphere and s around Simon who instantly panid yells, "Stop! Stop! STOP! W-What are you doing!? I'm not like those imperfect! Damn it! Why I 't transform to escape its grasp-NOOOOOO!" while I'm mentally quoting the famous meme while watg this se, 'I have seen enough hentai shit to know where this is going...'

  With that mournful scream, Simon is then swallowed by Shushibaruba, and now the sphere releases a fsh of blinding light as the sounds of something big and heavy that nds oony floor be heard.

  The light then fades away and Shushibaruba's true form is finally revealed, and it is fugly, it is a tall and massive humanoid monster with a roundish shape with gold and purple colors, resembling an anic robot or mae, it possesses an octopus or squid-like tentacles that e out from its bad an octopus-like face, with sharp and long cws, in fact, it seems almost a smaller meical Cthulhu with tentacles in the pce of its wings.

  [colpse]

  Seeing Shushibarub not hesitate and rush toward me as it clearly aims at Alvida still in the paper co, I sigh tired of all this mess, and decide to quickly end this ond for all.

  I gather my Spiral o and say to the poor rampaging biological on, "Sorry, this may seem anti-climatic for a st boss, but let's be ho, at my current level, I'm the st boss of this world... Torrential Rain!"

  I ignite my Spiral o, which gathers around my fist and transforms into water-like energy that twists around my fist, and with a punch, I release a massive amount of clear blue energy droplets in front of me at ohat, almost like heavy rain, hits Shushibaruba with such force that it starts to crumble into many small pieces as the various energy droplets destroy everything they toud even the wall behind it isn't spared by the onsught, and a few seds after that, the terrible Shushibaruba is no more erased by the tless attack I just released.

  Odyin
