The Devil Serpent was a reptilian beast with a Capture Level of 21.
This monster, which inhabited dark caves, terrified many Gourmet Hunters.
Its nearly forty-meter-long body did not restrict its movement speed, and its extraordinarily sensitive perception made it especially dangerous in dark environments.
“Honestly, the Devil Serpent really is ugly.” Saku Hayashi crossed his arms and evaluated its appearance.
It looked neither like a proper snake nor a salamander.
“Its Capture Level is far too low,” Jiro said indifferently.
“The forest on the Deer King Sky Deer’s back contains members of the original Devil Serpent species with Capture Levels in the thousands.” To Jiro, there was no meaningful difference between beasts below Capture Level 100.
Unless he wanted to eat them, he generally ignored such creatures unless they attacked him first.
The Devil Serpent launched its claws like rockets.
In complete darkness, anyone who failed to heighten their senses to the limit could only wait to be struck.
Slice!
Slice!
Saku Hayashi raised one hand.
Appetite Energy condensed into a sharp axe of light, which severed both claws at their roots as effortlessly as chopping vegetables.
Boom!
Not wanting to waste time, Saku Hayashi stomped his right foot against the ground.
His rapidly moving body left only an afterimage in the air.
The axe rose and fell.
The nearly forty-meter-long Devil Serpent was chopped into nine sections.
Capturing a Devil Serpent was simple.
One could either use overwhelming destructive force to prevent it from regenerating or employ advanced Knocking to immobilize it.
After being cut into such a miserable state, this Devil Serpent was obviously incapable of regenerating.
“Clean and efficient, but…
Knocking would have been simpler,” Jiro remarked.
He had expected Saku Hayashi to use Knocking.
“I didn’t encounter one during my previous visit, so I wanted to taste it this time,” Saku Hayashi explained.
Using Knocking would have meant sparing the creature.
Jiro nodded.
He had even eaten members of the Devil Serpent’s original species.
Their flavor was decent, and their meat was exceptionally chewy without being dry or tough.
After storing the Devil Serpent away, everyone followed Jiro.
No one knew the route better than the man who visited Cave Beach during every Puffer Whale migration.
[Natsuki Minamiya]: “Would a certain pink-haired woman please stop flirting with me?
My sexual orientation is perfectly normal.” [Elysia]: “Hehe♪ This is merely ordinary conversation between girls.
Kevin is always so cold, and Rocks has been busy lately.” She was not flirting.
Natsuki was simply so adorable that Elysia could not resist getting closer to her.
[Natsuki Minamiya]: “Hmph.
Don’t assume I’ve never met someone who behaved similarly.” [Rocks]: “I have too many monsters and troublemakers beneath me.
Sometimes, I have to spend time communicating with my fists.” [Saku Hayashi (Group Leader)]: “Considering how you recruited those powerhouses, few of them can be genuinely loyal.
The crew hasn’t fallen apart solely because a powerful captain like you is keeping everyone under control.” Unlike Luffy’s crew, which was built upon bonds of friendship, the Rocks Pirates were a powder keg that could explode at any moment.
However, Whitebeard and several others coming to help Rocks fight Imu had been surprisingly impressive.
[Rocks]: “It couldn’t be helped.
I didn’t have time to play house.
If you gather a large group of capable fighters in a short period, internal conflict is inevitable.” Rocks was already several decades old.
He was not assembling a friendly adventuring party.
However, as long as Rocks remained present, no one beneath him would dare cause too much trouble.
[Daigo’s Bones Make Good Broth has joined the chat group.] [Molecular Gastronomy Genius has joined the chat group.] [The Jujutsu High Teacher Who Will Win has joined the chat group.] [Elysia]: “New members!
Welcome, welcome!
You can start by sharing your photos♪” [Natsuki Minamiya]: “Only ‘Molecular Gastronomy Genius’ sounds remotely normal.
The other two nicknames seem suspicious.” [The Jujutsu High Teacher Who Will Win]: “A chat group?
Is this like the ones that appear in certain novels?” Two-and-a-half—no, Gojo Satoru stared at the chat interface.
His Six Eyes shone with an intense azure light resembling the gaze of the heavens.
This had not been created by a Cursed Spirit.
It appeared to be a genuine chat group connecting people from different worlds.
Were there any powerful opponents here?
Gojo wanted to challenge them.
At his current level, he could no longer remember what defeat felt like and desperately desired a battle against someone truly strong.
[Molecular Gastronomy Genius]: “I’ve read similar novels as well.
I never expected to join a real chat group.” [Daigo’s Bones Make Good Broth]: “Hello, everyone.
My name is Daigo, not ‘big bones.’ What is this nickname supposed to mean?” Daigo was extremely confused.
An inexplicable chill ran through him, and he felt as though someone intended to simmer his bones into broth.
[Saku Hayashi (Group Leader)]: “Everyone should be slightly more familiar with the situation now.
It’s time for me to dox the newcomers!” After searching his memories, Saku Hayashi confirmed the identities of all three new members.
[Saku Hayashi (Group Leader)]: “‘Daigo’s Bones Make Good Broth’ is Daigo from GUTS—Director-General Sawai’s lackey.” [Daigo’s Bones Make Good Broth]: “Since when did I become the Director-General’s lackey?” Daigo nearly spat his coffee into Shinjoh’s face.
He certainly knew Director-General Sawai, but calling him the man’s lackey was going too far.
Saku Hayashi smiled when he saw Daigo’s complaint.
Who in the TPC did not know that Daigo was Director-General Sawai’s lackey?
Although the description was mostly teasing, Sawai genuinely thought highly of Daigo, who had once saved his life.
Furthermore, Daigo and Shinjohh were the infamous crash duo.
They frequently destroyed aircraft, and every crash cost an enormous amount of money.
Aside from incidents caused by exceptional circumstances, who could guarantee that Director-General Sawai had never spoken in their defense?
[Saku Hayashi (Group Leader)]: “Molecular Gastronomy Genius, you should be Alice Nakiri, correct?
White hair, red eyes, and the cousin of Erina Nakiri, who possesses the God Tongue.” [Molecular Gastronomy Genius]: “Holy crap!
The Group Leader can actually dox people?” Alice had been lying on her large bed and swinging her legs, but she immediately stopped.
How could he discover so much from her nickname?
He even knew her hair and eye colors, as well as her cousin Erina.
Still, this made everything much more interesting.
This Group Leader named Saku Hayashi had caught her attention.
[Saku Hayashi (Group Leader)]: “It seems I guessed correctly.” Honestly, if Erina had joined the chat group, her nickname would probably have been “God Tongue,” making her much easier to identify.
Confirming Alice’s identity had taken Saku Hayashi some time.
However, Alice possessed a more straightforward personality.
Combined with her white hair and red eyes, she gave people a more approachable impression.
[Molecular Gastronomy Genius]: “My name is Alice Nakiri.
I look forward to getting along with everyone.” [Elysia]: “Hehe♪ You must be an adorable young beauty.
My name is Elysia, but you can affectionately call me Ely♪” [Molecular Gastronomy Genius]: “Hello, Big Sis Ely.” [Saku Hayashi (Group Leader)]: “‘The Jujutsu High Teacher Who Will Win’ must be Gojo Satoru—the wielder of the Six Eyes, the strongest modern jujutsu sorcerer, and a teacher at Jujutsu High.” Whenever Saku Hayashi thought of Gojo Satoru, the first things that came to mind were those infamous memes.
He’ll win.
I’m sorry Lord Sukuna never got the opportunity to go all out…
The cooler Gojo appeared in the beginning, the more ridiculous he looked after being cut in half.
In the end, he had never learned to compete with Sukuna’s habit of taking out binding vows on credit.
[The Jujutsu High Teacher Who Will Win]: “Correct.
The Group Leader is impressive.
You really managed to dox all three of us.” Gojo smiled faintly.
He did not mind others learning his identity.
Even if Saku Hayashi had not exposed him, he would have introduced himself.
[Saku Hayashi (Group Leader)]: “Gojo, the phrase ‘I’ll win’ became famous far beyond your own world because of you.” [The Jujutsu High Teacher Who Will Win]: “?” [Saku Hayashi (Group Leader)]: “If none of you mind, change your nicknames to your real names.
It’ll make the chat easier to follow.” [Daigo’s Bones Make Good Broth] changed his nickname to [Daigo].
Daigo changed his nickname first.
He disliked the original nickname and replaced his blank gray profile picture with an actual photograph of himself.
[Molecular Gastronomy Genius] changed her nickname to [Alice Nakiri].
[The Jujutsu High Teacher Who Will Win] changed his nickname to [Gojo Satoru].
