Chapter 11: Rule-Breaking Conceptual Ability

With the death of Byrnndi World, a surge of power flowed into Daemon's body, guided by the mysterious 'Hand of Hermes'.

"This feels completely different from what I've felt before... Is this really tied to luck?" Daemon mused, feeling the wild energy pulsating within him. Whatever treasure he had obtained this time, it was definitely not something weak.

It was, at the very least, much more potent than the treasures with no special effects that he'd acquired earlier.

As the energy riot slowly subsided, Daemon, careful not to drain his physical strength like he had before, refrained from immediately releasing the newly acquired treasure. Instead, he delved into his mind to check its full details.

Hercules' Belt

Grade: None

Type: Self-Enhancement Treasure

'World Breaker' Byrnndi World, once enhanced by the Moa Moa no Mi, had used the power to defeat the giant kingdom. Based on this legendary feat, and further empowered by Hermes's hand, this fantasy weapon was born, an artifact straight out of mythology.

When activated, the strength and speed it grants will always exceed that of the opponent.

...

"An enhancement treasure for myself?" Daemon thought, his eyes glinting. He had never obtained a Noble Phantasm like this before, and the surge of power it provided made him quite satisfied.

The effects were simple yet extraordinary: Once liberated, his strength and speed would always outstrip the enemy's. A 'conceptual ability', one that could make Daemon nearly invincible when facing opponents.

This was leagues above his previous "Enhancement Necklace," which only gave him a temporary boost. The treasure he had just obtained was pure overpowered brilliance.

To have such a treasure after slaying Byrnndi World... Daemon couldn't help but smirk. It was undeniably a stroke of incredible luck.

Chat Group

Miyuki Uchiha: "Damn, now he's got another new Noble Phantasm! Should I start calling him Daemonesh, the Hero King of One Piece?"

Yamamoto Mei: "Honestly, they're pretty similar, both collecting Noble Phantasms like it's a hobby."

Yamamoto Mei: "Come to think of it, Mr. Daemon is destined to collect treasures of this caliber, probably surpassing the Hero King one day. At this rate, he's collecting divine artifacts!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "I don't know how strong his new Noble Phantasm is, but... I have a feeling it's ridiculously powerful."

Esdeath: "That move earlier? It's incredible for large-scale combat. I could use ice to create something similar. But, wait... why hasn't Daemon released his new ability yet? Is he just soaking it in?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "I think Mr. World Noble is worried about running out of strength again like last time..."

Miyuki Uchiha: "Oh, before he hits middle age, he's already this powerless? Are we sure he's not secretly an old man in disguise?"

Daemon: "....."

Daemon: "@Miyuki Uchiha, you better hope this chat group never unlocks world-crossing, or you're dead!"

Miyuki Uchiha: "...No, Your Highness Daemon! I was just joking!"

In the Hokage world, a white-haired, red-eyed girl wailed in terror, waking up Uzumaki Kushina, who had just fallen asleep. Miyuki Uchiha, now trembling, silently cursed her own stupidity.

She could already imagine the devastating force of the 'Chaos Dragon Leviathan' descending upon her. It was an overwhelming, crushing force that would utterly annihilate her. She shuddered at the thought.

With a grin, Daemon shared the details of the newly acquired "Hercules' Belt" to the chat group.

Miyuki Uchiha: "This... is next-level! What a Powerful Noble Phantasm!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Hey, hey, hey! Mr. World Noble, are you seriously getting this powerful stuff so easily?!"

Esdeath: "It's terrifying, not just in power but in the nature of it. The strength and speed are always greater than the enemy's, it's practically a 'conceptual ability'! No wonder people are freaking out."

Uchiha Miyuki: "As expected... Your Highness Daemon, you're definitely the protagonist of this world."

Sakura Tosaka: "Congratulations, Brother Daemon! Another powerful Noble Phantasm in your hands!"

The group buzzed with amazement. They were no strangers to powerful abilities, but Daemon's treasures were on an entirely different level. These weren't the usual abilities of the One Piece world. Sure, the world had plenty of bizarre powers—time and space manipulation, turning people into dolls, erasing memories—but none of them seemed like they could resist Daemon's treasures.

That was the true terror of Daemon's abilities—there was no Haki or anything else that could counter them.

Daemon, still grinning, turned his gaze toward 'Lonely Red' Redfield and licked his lips. A golden belt slowly materialized around his waist as he mulled over his next steps.

Suddenly, a prompt rang in his ears.

[A new member has joined the chat group.]

[New feature activated – Red Envelope System.]

[Quest System enabled.]

"Huh?" Daemon blinked in surprise.

Without wasting a moment, Daemon entered the chat group to find it already in a frenzy.

Miyuki Uchiha: "Red envelopes! The mission system is here! Also, a new member already? Are they Reincarnators? Or just some random anime character?"

Sakura Tosaka: "The name is Luo Hao... sounds like a girl's name."

Yamamoto Mei: "Luo Hao... Didn't expect this one. The chat group is getting more and more interesting."

Uchiha Miyuki: "Sect Leader Luo Hao!"

Esdeath: "Hmm, she seems like an original character. Never heard of her, but it could be interesting."

Daemon: "Not low profile at all. She's from a pretty well-known anime, especially among the female characters."

Daemon: "@Luo Hao, aren't you going to say something? I remember the martial arts king isn't exactly known for being a chatty woman, right?"
