When the family head is absent, the acting head is equivalent to the family head.
This was a rule any major family had to observe.
So for the entire Keikain family, Bokue Keikain's decision in the council hall just now was equivalent to the old family head's decision—irrevocable and unchangeable.
Even after the meeting adjourned, the council hall remained filled with mixed e...

Snow drifted slowly from the overcast sky, settling softly in the palm of Haru's hand. Under the warmth of his skin, it quickly melted into a single, crystalline drop.
Root Shiki stared at the water droplet in his palm, lost in thought. The next moment, her small, soft hand gently brushed his, flicking the water away to land on the snow-covered ground.
Her small, tabi-clad feet, wea...

The Five Elders weren't looking for a fight with Shin.
Of course, it wasn't that they didn't want to target him—it was that they were afraid. If they had a clear understanding of Shin's true strength and knew what his trump cards were, perhaps then they would have the courage to make a move.
But as it stood, the Five Elders were completely in the dark about Shin. Under such circum...

The moment the spectral black phoenix projected itself into Hell, the moment it unfurled its wings, the underworld of Hawk’s Cosmo followed, merging perfectly with the celestial bird.
At the same time, as the phoenix burned with a dark, crimson fire, a black, crystalline armor—part metal, part crystal—materialized.
Mephisto was stunned. The next second, he let out a furious ro...

That afternoon.
Arlong Park—now officially renamed 'King's Park'—was quiet. Outside, Nami and Carina peeked cautiously around a corner.
"Maya..." Nami called out in a hushed voice. The three girls were close in age and had quickly become good friends over the past couple of days.
"Nami? Carina? What is it?"
Maya's Observation Haki wa...

"Shiryu. Faster."
Arthur's voice emerged as a low growl, laced with killing intent so frigid it could freeze the air itself. His Observation Haki had revealed everything.
His rage reached a boiling point.
He abandoned the sky road and shot straight through the White-White Sea.

Bokue Keikain rarely forgot promises he'd made, but yesterday was an exception.
Having suddenly learned about Hagoromo-Gitsune's resurrection, he'd spent the entire afternoon and evening scheming how to handle the situation—completely forgetting about the dinner plans in the process.
"Sorry, sorry! I totally forgot. Something came up on my end."
Cautiously glancing at Yura, ...

“Why are you up again?” Haru asked, his back to Shiki, raising an eyebrow in surprise.
Though her movements were silent, the room was constantly within his perception. He had sensed her activity the moment it began.
Following her usual habits, Shiki should have slept for three hours, woken up at six for dinner, then perhaps watched TV or simply spaced out. She was supposed to go...

"Gravity Blade: Raging Tiger!"
Fujitora struck first. Facing Shin, whose power was the stuff of legends, he couldn't afford to be careless for even a second.
He channeled immense gravity into his blade and unleashed a devastating horizontal slash. The wave of force was designed to crush and pulverize everything in its path.
"Shinra Tensei!"

Hey everyone! Hope you’re all having a great day⭐.
I’m currently working on a Demon Slayer fanfiction that I’ll be releasing in the next few days. It’s going to be a fun one, a mix of a system story and comedy, with a main character somewhat like Rimuru Tempest. I think you’ll really enjoy it.
From now on, I’ll be posting only two chapters of Marvel fanfiction each day...

Moonlight washed over the desolate canyon floor.
The sound came first—a manic, cackling laugh echoing off stone walls. Then the roar of an engine tearing through the night sky, followed by the bone-rattling crash of metal meeting earth.
WHAM!
A motorcycle erupted from the darkness like something clawed up from the pit—frame wreathed in Hellfire, its exhaus...

'Hmm, the teleportation function still has its limits—'
Jin thought. 'Only I can activate it, and it requires the crew member's permission badge for targeting. Still, that’s incredibly powerful. It means I can spend soul crystals to instantly appear at a crew member's side, which gives me a huge margin for error and a ton of tactical flexibility.'
He realized that his previous a...

At the same time, a hundred meters above Kiyomizu Stage, Bokue Keikain leisurely observed the battle below while holding the young Onmyōji girl in his arms.

Thirty minutes later, the delightful chaos of the mixed bath came to an end, and everyone retired to their rooms.
That night, I was, of course, meant to be sharing a room with Origami. I was just about to initiate some of our usual... nighttime activities, when the door suddenly creaked open.
Led by Kurumi, Yuzuru, and Mayuri, a procession of girls filed into the room, each wearing ...

It was late February 1995.
Just as winter was expected to release its grip, a fresh blanket of white snow drifted down over Mifune City.
In Shiki Ryougi's bedroom, Haru sat cross-legged on the tatami mats, facing the window. He looked out at the thick bamboo grove, now crowned with snow, and sipped warm green tea.
Nearly two years had passed since he began men...

Honestly, Akainu was taken aback by Hancock's sudden move. Was the Pirate Empress always this volatile?
Drawing her sword at the drop of a hat? He didn't remember being that hot-headed even in his younger days.

Akainu, his face grim, gave the order to the Marines on board. In the end, he backed down. He had other priorities and saw no nee...

Dawn broke over Kamar-Taj's grand circular courtyard.

That single gesture—the Ancient One standing on the stone platform, serene and ethereal, her hand raised as if cradling an invisible blossom—hit Hawk like a revelation.
For a heartbeat, she wasn't a sorceress. She was something else entirely.

The only difference? That other Enlightened soul had been a man. This one was a woman.

The battle for Cocoyasi Village was over.
Maya, Law, Robin, Reiju, Tashigi, and Sanji's brothers—each leading a hundred clone soldiers to sweep the island clean of every pirate bold enough to land there.
Jin himself had barely lifted a finger. He'd simply identified his targets—the Devil Fruit users—hunted them down, and tossed them into the carrier. It was a matter of efficie...

Arthur held no interest in abilities that merely amplified power.
What value existed in shattering worlds with a single blow? Such strength remained superficial—it could not fundamentally transform the essence of one's being.
Power without evolution was a dead end.
He dismissed such fruits without hesitation. The More-More Fruit, the Tremor-Tremor Fruit—even if they materi...

With a deafening roar that shook the shrine, a massive form burst through the earth, instantly shattering the shrine's ceiling and sending the entire structure flying.

Ryuunosuke Uryuu was a serial killer.
That wasn't quite right. Perhaps describing him as an artist in pursuit of 'Death' would be more accurate. His strange calling likely stemmed from an innate talent—an unusually sharp perception of the concept itself.
He had been on his path for seven years and had killed over sixty people.
The reason a self-proclaimed ar...

Sugar rubbed her round belly and leaned comfortably against Shin. To make matters worse, she started wiping her greasy hands all over his clothes.

The next morning.
Hawk drove Gwen to 177A Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village.
Gwen sat in the passenger seat, wearing an adorable knit beanie, looking completely lost.
She stared out the window at the towering Victorian-era brick building, then at the pedestrians on the street who seemed completely oblivious to its existence. Finally, she turned to Hawk as he pulled the park...
