BXBX NOVEL Chapter 14 - Plans.
In a forest far away from the Empire capital, there were six people sitting around each other while each of them had a different expression.
Whitebeard has a slight smile while looking at this group. This group of shinanigans really reminded him of his sons.
Saitama didn't care as always while he's probably thinking about what he should eat.
Kaguya was still floating elegantly without any worry, but she had a slight smile while looking at Leo.
Misaka was looking angry at Leo and Kuriboh on his head because no matter what she did Kuriboh refused her and rushed to Leo.
Kazuma was holding his laughter while looking at Leo or rather his forehead that was covered with a bandana.
"Now... After you calmed down, we should start" Leo said calmly as he was fixing his glasses.
"Don't you mean, you calmed down?" Kazuma corrected Leo's words as he ignored him but Kazuma didn't stop.
"Hey, Leo... Why are you wearing a bandana?" Kazuma asked while Leo looked at him quietly for a while before he said " Suddenly, I wanted to try something new"
"A bandana on your forehead?" Kazuma pointed towards Leo forehead as Leo fixed his glasses which flashed with light, and covered his eyes before he said " A very new style"
"It seems he liked this princess gift so much he didn't want to share it with anyone" Kaguya covered her mouth with her sleeve as she said with a smug face which made Leo put his hand on Yamato again.
"Oh, come on, Leo. You shouldn't be so tsun and be more dere for once ...Pffffff HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Kazuma started to laugh out loud.
"Yeah, more dere... Pffff" Kaguya was also laughing at Leo which made the dark aura on his body appear again.
"What are you talking about?" Misaka asked because she didn't see what was on Leo's forehead.
"You want to kno-" Kazuma wanted to speak, but a light flashed in his face and cut a few hairs from his head.
Leo put Yamato in his scabbard as he had a calm face " Sorry, my hand slipped"
"That didn't seem like a hand slip or an apology," Kazuma had a few drops of sweat on his forehead.
"Really? I think my hand is slipping a lot this day" Leo put his hand on Yamato again while Kazuma raised his hands as he surrendered.
" Why do you always..." Misaka clenched her fist again. These guys always exclude her, and she still holds a grudge for that culture thing.
"Don't worry about it, Mikoto. Just don't get corrupted by these degenerates" Leo comforted Misaka, but that just made her angrier as she blushed.
"If You're still going to make fun of me, then at least fight me seriously" small current appeared on Misaka head but Leo didn't care before he said " When you take the fight seriously I'll do take it seriously"
"Huh? What do you mean?!" Misaka didn't get those words but Leo only gave her a stare before he said " You're holding back too much"
"Nobody will wait for you in a battle, Mikoto..." Leo looked at Misaka with a helpless gaze before he said "Maybe you don't want to hurt me in that fight, but you need to make up your mind"
"..." Misaka was silent for a while before she said " I know... But that doesn't give you the right to call me by my name!!"
But before Misaka got angry again, Leo picked something from his head and put it on her. Misaka expression went like a storm from all the rage to just a quiet cloud as she felt the small Kuriboh on her head.
{There's a lot to work on} Leo looked at Misaka that went calm instantly before he felt something behind him. Leo looked back to see all the members looking at him with interest and Kazuma was giving him' You asshole' stare before he clicked his tongue.
{These guys...} Leo's expression darkened before he clenched his fist from anger.
"What? Do you want a turn too?" Leo felt everyone here except Saitama is targeting him, even Kazuma gave up his gender equality to see him suffer and now he was probably waiting for another lightning round.
"I would like to, but... I feel this sword will chop off my head and take my body if I do so" Kazuma looked at his sword that was vibrating slightly while saying"wryyyyy..."
Saitama looked at Leo calmly with his deadpan face before he raised his fist slowly while nodding at Leo. But Leo shook his head, so he dropped his fist.
"*Sigh*" Leo felt today he's very unlucky before he said " Anyway, let's talk about this task"
Leo's expression turned slightly serious as the atmosphere changed" Honestly, this world doesn't pose a threat to us as long as we are wary of some tricks and weird things... Like a sword that kills with one hit"
"Teigu, huh... It seems like our devil fruits but weaker and very limited" Whitebeard saw the business started so he joined the conversation.
"Yeah... And I'm not talking about these two" Leo looked at Kaguya and Saitama " They will be more than fine even if they were attacked"
"Of course, don't compare this princess with you" Kaguya was like always proud but Leo ignored her directly.
Saitama didn't show a reaction because he already knows these things will not pose any threat to him.
"So this left us with the target..." Leo looked at towards the group as he said " There is something flashing in the Chat now"
Everyone looked at the Chat Room before a message appeared when they logged in.
[ We can't locate the system user location directly because of the interception of the outer god.
These crystals will shine when they are close to the system user.
You can keep the crystal in the Chat Room for safe]
A small crystal appeared in the hand of everyone as they stared at it slightly before they put them inside the Chat Room.
"Now the locating way is available... Can you explain what is a system user" Whitebeard asked the cultured trio because even if he wants to go there and gura gura no mi all that Empire, he still needs to understand the enemy first. Just because Whitebeard is carfree doesn't mean he's an idiot, or how he did become one of the four emperors, and all this age already made him a great leader in both mind and power.
"Yeah, you never explained what a system user" Misaka said after hugging Kuriboh in her arms.
"A system user, huh..." Leo put his hand on his chin before he said " They are not that different from us with this Chat Room except they variety"
"They can have a shop or some cheats, so they can scream ' I'M SO OP!!' kind of thing" Kazuma gave his understanding which nobody understood except Leo, Kaguya, and Saitama.
"They are basically cheaters with a tool that can save them from anything and do everything they like if it was strong enough" Kaguya explained some systems.
"Then we have a question, which type of system is this?" Kazuma asked because honestly, he doesn't want to go against a system that throws bloodlines like rain.
"Well, here a few possibilities..." Leo controlled the Ki and wrote five possibilities " The first is the strongest while the five is the weakest"
5. A non-sentient system with just a basic function of detection and something to grow stronger.
4. A non-sentient system with more functions like a small shop.
3. A non-sentient system with something like a lottery or a very good boost in the strength of its user.
2. A sentient/Non-sentient system with a full shop and ability to solve all the problems if the points or whatever they called are enough.
1. A total sentient system, probably even a female which will become a waifu. A full shop with nothing missing from all the multiverse and OP lottery. And the user is probably Xianxia guy.
Everyone looked at the five possibilities while each one of them had different expressions.
Kazuma and Kaguya nodded because these are facts. Whitebeard didn't quite understand most the things written expect it powerful. Saitama understood these words so he thought it'll be a challenge if it the first and the second possibility. Misaka looked at all the possibilities before she stopped at the first one and looked at Leo.
"What?" Leo understood Misaka gaze, so he said "I'm not being racist but these are straight facts which can't be denied"
"Yeah, it the truth..." Kazuma stood up before he put a pose and said " Today the heaven and earth shall feel my wrath.I'll kill your 18 generations to satisfy this flame of revenge in my heart with my sword that shall split the heavens/realms balabalabl... Basically this is it"
*Clap**Clap*Clap*Clap*
Leo and Kaguya were clapping as Kazuma bent over and said thank you.
"*Sigh* Even if you want to speak these puzzling things, can't you speak normally??!!" Misaka was already desperate by these three.
"Normally? Sure..." Leo stood up and said " Why is it called a building when it's already built?"
Miska stopped in her place but it wasn't the end as Kazuma looked at her and said "Why are apartments called apartments if they're not apart?"
Misaka felt her calculation can't keep up with these bastards, but Kaguya gave her a sweet smile, yet it seemed very devilish for Misaka.
"If you drop the soap to the ground..." Kaguya tilted her head before she said " Is the ground clean or the soap is dirty?"
*Misaka.exe stopped working*
Misaka is really feeling that at the end of this task she'll become an LVL 4, so she chooses to ignore these guys and hug Kuriboh.
"So our course of action is gathering information first..." Leo nodded before he looked at the group " Do anyone wants to do something else?"
"Yeah, I do..." Kazuma raised his hand and so did Kaguya, but Leo felt something fishy.
Kazuma had a face full of sunshine and justice as he was raising his hand, which made Leo said" No, you don't!"
"Leo..." Kazuma looked at Leo as flames were shining in his eyes before saying " You're trying to stop forces you can't withstand"
"No, you'll not go for the protagonist or the girls with him" Leo understood this guy thoughts instantly.
"But Leo, how can your heart let innocent girls die..." Kazuma closed his eyes before he opened them and said " If we are going to destroy this Empire we need to save them too"
"Innocent girls? How can we let them die!!" Misaka looked shocked but Leo stayed calm and said to Kazuma " Try again, speak your true thoughts"
"I want to save them, so they can fall in love with me, and I can get a very beautiful girlfriend or two... Maybe three" Kazuma didn't even change his face with these words while Misaka looked at him with disgust.
"It seems you still didn't lose your quality as a cultured man, but I'll not help you with that... And you" Leo turned to look at Kaguya " I don't know what you're planing but it'll probably end with a disaster"
"Oh? I didn't know you know me this much, Leo" Kaguya hid her face with her sleeve like she seemed to be embarrassed.
"...." Leo looked at her silently before he said " Yukari Yakumo is behind you"
"WHERE!!!" Kaguya looked back very fast, but she only greeted with Saitama deadpan face before she looked at Leo's smug smile.
"Good one, very good one" Kaguya seemed to mark things for a bigger revenge, but Leo didn't care.
"*Sigh* You're no fun..." Kazuma sighed before he took a card and said " I'll try if this world monsters can make me level up"
Leo raised his eyebrow at Kazuma's words because he also thinks this idea is feasible but it needs verification." Not a bad Idea Kazuma"
"I know because it was my idea" Kazuma was proud while Leo eyebrow dropped down as he said " Don't push it"
"And I want to see if I can learn power from your worlds" Kazuma looked at everyone while they also looked at him.
"Learn something from me?" Leo looked at Kazuma before he said " I can only teach you Ki, but your Ki is very different from mine and you don't want to turn into a mummy by accident, right?"
"You don't have talent" Kaguya dropped the bomb directly at Kazuma.
Saitama looked quietly at Kazuma before he said "100 push-ups,100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and 10 km running"
"Is he serious?" Kazuma asked Leo which gave him a gaze and said " He's the strongest person here so should follow what he said"
"Seriously!! I need to start then..." Kazuma was preparing his training while Leo was trying to suppress his laughter and Kaguya gave him a thump up.
"Teach you, huh..." Whitebeard stared at Kazuma before he said " Haki might be a good choice but you're physically weak"
"Don't worry, maybe it'll appear on my card if you explained it in a very detail way"
"..." Whitebeard looked at Kazuma eager look before he closed his eyes for a while.
Whitebeard opened his eyes and said the way of Haki training, but before he said the third phrase a holographic screen appeared in front of everyone.
[If you want to learn the ability called Haki from the world One Piece, please buy a One Piece world powers compatibility card after the store opens or let a member send it to you after the function open]
"I thought so..." Leo sighed as he watched the screen before he said " Every world is different in it powers"
This made Leo confirm that his Longinus changed by this Chat Room.
Kazuma was disappointed, but he recovered very quickly.
"Well, I guess this is it..." Leo stood up before walking forward and said " Let's go"
"Where?" Misaka saw Leo and the others leaving, so she stood up but Leo didn't turn back as he said " To make a base... We can't find the system user in a single day"
"Oh..." Misaka walked with the group as she was observing all of them.
{Even if they seemed to be completely chaotic, but these guys can be very reliable} Misaka smiled slightly as she thought this might be not bad, but the next conversation stopped her.
"After we find the system user... Do you want to do it quietly or mayhem" Leo walked forward before he pushed his glasses and said "I choose mayhem"
"Of course, it mayhem" Kazuma answered like it was obvious.
"Mayhem" Saitama answered with a deadpan face.
"... Mayhem" Whitebeard answered like it's the normal thing to do.
" This princess chooses the quick and easy way which is mayhem" Kaguya floated while answering.
"... I give up" Misaka hugged Kuriboh and followed the group while feeling helpless.
The Empire was having it usual day without knowing it been targeted by a bunch of very dangerous guys that doesn't know limits.
