[Group Chat – Friendly Mutual Aid]
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Oh? The newbie finally spoke. For a second, I thought he was mute."
Uchiha Miyuki: "Hah, isn't it normal for people to be able to talk as long as they're alive?"
Yamamoto Mei: "That's right. If a person gets killed… then they die~."
Tōsaka Sakura: "…I don't know why, but reading that sentence makes me feel uncomfortable somehow."
Uchiha Miyuki: "Diavolo and Subaru once said it best: 'If you are killed, you die.' Such divine wisdom! Please, grant me that ability immediately!"
Yamamoto Mei: "Peak writing. Truly."
Esdeath: "Tch. Boring! I just want to know whether this newcomer's world is to my taste. Hopefully it's drenched in blood and war… not some dull slice-of-life garbage like Kasumigaoka Utaha's."
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "…Poison-tongued ice cube. At least compared to your corrosive, misery-soaked world, mine is a hundred—no, a thousand times better!"
Yamamoto Mei: "Enough! Shut it, the both of you!"
In the chat, Mei's authority was obvious. Her words hit like a whip—harsh enough to quiet even Utaha's smugness and Esdeath's arrogance.
She scolded the others first for being casual and unreliable, then finally turned her focus toward the newcomer.
Yamamoto Mei: "Alright, Saint Jaeger. It's your turn—introduce yourself properly."
Yamamoto Mei: "Jaeger-kun… I can call you that, right?"
Jaeger raised an eyebrow, replying evenly:
Jaeger: "Yes."
In the world of pirates, ordinary people couldn't even dream of addressing a Celestial Dragon so casually. Not even Admirals had that qualification.
But Yamamoto Mei wasn't "ordinary." She was a fellow Reincarnator, someone with the aura of a main character herself. And given her connection to the top combat power of the Bleach world—the Captain-Commander—her standing was no less than his own.
Yamamoto Mei: "So then, Jaeger-kun… you reincarnated in the world of pirates?"
Jaeger: "Yes."
Yamamoto Mei: "…That means—"
Jaeger: "You've already guessed it. I became a Celestial Dragon."
He didn't bother to hide it. Lies demanded more lies, and Jaeger had no patience for such weakness. His tone was calm without any nervousness.
The effect was immediate. The chat went silent for several seconds—until suddenly it exploded with messages.
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Wait. The Celestial Dragons? Those pigs in human skin?"
Tōsaka Sakura: "The nobles of the world, the so-called gods. Descendants of the Creator who enslaved everyone for 800 years… horrifying."
Esdeath: "Hmph~ The pirate world really is that chaotic? Excellent. When the group travel function opens, I'll go there myself and carve through it in battle!"
Uchiha Miyuki: "You're insane. Go touch grass."
Uchiha Miyuki: "…Wait. Jaeger's a reincarnator, right? He's not like the canon scum? …Right?"
Yamamoto Mei: "Exactly. Don't judge him just because he wears Celestial Dragon robes."
Miyuki Uchiha: "That's right even among them, there were exceptions. Im, the Gorōsei, the Holy Knights… even pure souls like Doflamingo. Not every Tenryūbito is filth."
Yamamoto Mei: "..."
Nerona Jaeger: "..."
Yamamoto Mei: "Miyuki you are such a—"
Tōsaka Sakura: "…You're right. I was biased. My apologies, Saint Nerona Jaeger."
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Heh… if you really are one of the rare good ones, maybe you can actually fix that rotten pirate world."
Yamamoto Mei: "The influence of a Reincarnator is never small. Worlds can shift because of just one."
Esdeath: "Tch. This pity-party is boring. The strong rule. The weak submit. That's life."
Uchiha Miyuki: "Yeah, yeah, survival of the horniest too. Speaking of which—@Saint Jaeger, don't tell me you've already collared the Pirate Empress as your personal slave?Asking for Mei~"
Yamamoto Mei: "…"
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "…Thank god it wasn't you who reincarnated there, Miyuki. The world would've collapsed in a week."
Tōsaka Sakura: "…As expected of Miyuki-senpai."
Yamamoto Mei: "Don't drag me into this!!"

Pirate World – Holy Land, Mary Geoise
Jaeger leaned back in his ornate chair, eyes flicking over the chaotic stream of messages in the chat group.
It had been a long time since he reincarnated into the pirate world, and in all that time he hadn't experienced something this… amusing.
Naturally, he noticed the discussion swirling around his identity.
The nobles of the world. The Tenryūbito.
In his previous life, One Piece was one of the most famous stories on earth. And among all the anime villains out there, few groups were hated as much as the Celestial Dragons.
It wasn't hard to see why.
Unlike the ambitious villains who sought to conquer or destroy for lofty goals, the Tenryūbito were nothing but parasites. They weren't charming or handsome, most were grotesque, bloated pigs in robes, indulging in cruelty for its own sake. No charisma. No vision. Only arrogance.
And yet…
That didn't bother Jaeger.
If anything, he reveled in it.
"The world was built for men like me."
Extravagant heavenly tribute spent without limit. Princesses and queens reduced to slaves. Mortals unable to even imagine the splendor of a Tenryūbito's daily life.
In the time since his arrival in this world, Jaeger had embraced it all–without hesitation, without guilt.
This world was subdued by the ancestors of the Tenryūbito. Their bloodline was carved above all others. To live above mortals is not shameful—it is their birthright.
Anyone who enjoyed such privileges and turned against their own class was nothing less than a traitor.
Traitors deserve only one end.
As for whether to play the role of a kind-hearted Celestial Dragon to deceive the chat group? Jaeger had already made his decision.
Why hide behind lies? Pretend long enough, and the mask would shatter eventually. Then he'd be seen as nothing but a hypocrite—a two-faced villain.
No, far better to reveal his stance from the start. To remain calm, unapologetic.
Let them know exactly what kind of man he is.

Esdeath: "The throne carved out by the ancestors of the Tenryūbito… nothing wrong with their descendants inheriting it. The strong bullying the weak is only natural."
Esdeath: "Of course, if the Celestial Dragons are ever toppled, it'll only be because they grew weak. That's the law of the world."
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Hmm… while I don't agree with Icecube's contempt for the weak, she's not entirely wrong. No matter which country you look at, regime changes are always painted in blood."
Yamamoto Mei: "Actually, think about it carefully. They're not so different from the capitalists and chaebols of my previous life. They sucked the blood of the people at the bottom and flaunted their prestige. Kinder than the Tenryūbito, maybe but in essence, no different."
Yamamoto Mei: "Even our Thirteen Court Guard Squads rule the Soul Society, and the lives of souls in Rukongai aren't much better than the commoners under the Celestial Dragons. So who are we to point fingers?"
Uchiha Miyuki: "...Yeah, this got too real. I'm going back to simping and falling in love with cute young ladies. That's all the philosophy I need."
Tōsaka Sakura: "Sakura is trembling… I don't really understand any of this. I'm only six, but… I think my family counts as nobles too?"
Esdeath: "Heh. So in the end… nobody here actually rejects the Tenryūbito? Not even a little?"

Pirate World – Holy Land, Mary Geoise
To be honest, Jaeger was both surprised… and not surprised at all.
Esdeath—the iron-blooded marshal who had massacred hundreds of thousands—would naturally thirst for blood.
Tōsaka Sakura—raised in a magus family that didn't even see normal humans as human—wouldn't find Celestial Dragons so shocking.
Uchiha Miyuki—descendant of a clan infamous for its arrogance and destined rebellion—was hardly the type to throw stones.
And Yamamoto Mei—descendant of the ruling elite in the Soul Society—was herself the very definition of "noble privilege."
When it came down to it, there was only one "ordinary" member in the entire group: Kasumigaoka Utaha.
Jaeger chuckled softly. "I really didn't expect this… I thought I'd be judged. Maybe even scolded. Instead…"
He sighed, almost amused at the irony. Then, with a flick of his hand, he reached for a den-den mushi, lined up the shots, and casually posted a batch of photos straight into the chat group.
[Group Chat – Friendly Mutual Aid]
Nerona Jaeger: "Picture. Picture. Picture. Picture."
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Oh my, Mr. World Noble is still here. I thought you would've muted the group to go drown in champagne and 'concubines' by now."
Yamamoto Mei: "…These photos…"
The images were all ones Stussy had taken for Jaeger:
Gilded palaces shining brighter than kingdoms, feasts of delicacies mortals could never dream of, and most damning of all—dozens of rare beauties on their knees, gazes full of devotion as they offered themselves to him.
Jaeger didn't explain a thing. He didn't need to. Just by posting the photos, he had made his stance clear:
He enjoyed it all. Willingly. Shamelessly.
Uchiha Miyuki: "…Holy crap. This is too much! Too gorgeous! Too decadent! Saint Jaeger, please—adopt me as your little sister! No, screw that—make me your pet cat! I'll sit on a golden pillow, drink royal milk, and meow whenever you pass by! Just teach me the ways, Sensei! …Ugh, fine—I'll even call you Daddy!"
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "..."
Yamamoto Mei: "..."
Esdeath: "Hmph~ I see now. A man who openly enjoys domination and excess… very much to my taste."
Tōsaka Sakura: "…It's scary. But… Jaeger-nii's appearance is actually very handsome. Totally different from the ugly Celestial Dragons Miyuki-senpai described."
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Tsk. A dangerous man indeed—someone who can calmly face all desires without flinching. Truly the image of a noble gentleman… or a devil in silk."
Yamamoto Mei: "I understand your position now, Saint Jaeger. Maybe it isn't good for the people of your world, but for us as chat group members… we're fated to be closer to you. Strangers are just strangers."
Yamamoto Mei: "So tell me, have you received your ability yet?"
Nerona Jaeger: "…Ability? Isn't this chat group it?"
Yamamoto Mei: "Haha! Of course not! I mean this—[picture]."
The photo displayed exactly what Jaeger had just seen: the newcomer's reward screen.
Yamamoto Mei: "I'll let you in on a secret. Miyuki's starter ability is called the [Perfect Goddess Training System]. It's literally forcing her to grow into the ultimate waifu—stronger, hotter, and more irresistible than every girl in your palace combined."
