Two hours later, in the Chaldea conference room.
“Sorry to keep you waiting.”
Touko, sitting idly and flipping her Zippo lighter open and shut while skimming Chaldea’s reports, looked up at the sound of Shiomi’s voice.
He entered the room leaning on a cane, walking slowly with Morgan supporting him at his side.

That one person was bound to be among them.
After all, it was Touko Aozaki who had personally delivered Lord Valualeta’s letter of recommendation to him.
No matter the reason, Touko was someone who would inevitably appear.

The shrill, gut-wrenching scream rang out like a pig being slaughtered, mixed with the deep, resonant roar of the Ancient Zoan Brachiosaurus. It echoed across all of Onigashima.

But just as that unfilial son was about to succeed—barely half a step away—a loud cry came from the distant marsh.
“Tina! Hurry over here!”
"Even if that's how you put it, Loki would still blow a fuse."
Freya couldn’t help but smile, as if picturing Loki stomping around in a fit.
"...In that case, please go easy on me, Freya-sama. I still have quite a few dealings with Loki-sama—I’d rather not offend her over something like this."

Romani had stopped by earlier for a routine check-up, turned on the TV for him, then left.

Angry? No. His anger was already gone.

In a world built on the "idealistic" systems of Devil Fruits and Haki, there is a clear ceiling to the power of science and technology.
At least, that’s what Daren had come to understand.
