Chapter Title: One Piece Stream and the Undying Warrior
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Today's stream~ We're all gonna watch One Piece!!"
With that, Pilot fired up One Piece.
-What the hell, why are you playing this shit.
-Don't broadcast Korea's national disgrace!!!
-Where the hell did you even get this from!!!
-You somehow found the one with just episode 1 lmao
"Huh? But it says Turtle Ship Pirates."
-Oh.
-Oh.
-Oh.
-For real? Was that the setting??
-I didn't wanna know, fuck lololol
"Wow! Then we're the Pakuri too! But I'm Navy, so no problem!"
-There's a shit ton of problems.
-Even if this is Navy, it's a problem.
-Why are you tilting your head back and sticking your tongue out while saying that.
-Watching this makes your IQ drop...
"Hmm, hold on... Is this it?"
The manager watched Pilot brazenly search YouTube for episode 1 and play it, then logged into an anime streaming site, paid for it outright, and switched to the original with subtitles. The crew had no major issues watching.
"[You, I'm gonna blast you away, got it?]"
"Whoa, what's this guy... Riding an oak barrel up there? I like the boldness!"
Pilot was quick to clarify in case of misunderstanding as she watched it stretch like rubber—but Ichigo's potions only allowed free stretching; the restoring elasticity came from Pilot's own [Skill]. She warned not to try it at home.
-Even if you tell them, they won't lolol
-No one would imitate that shit!!
-Kids might though...
-Yeah, if kids watch and try [Alchemist], Korea loses.
-Captain, take responsibility and apologize.
"It's not his talent's fault he couldn't become a Wizard?"
-Captain: "Ichigo has no talent"
-Chills from the mad conviction...
-National alchemists weeping.
-He's one hair's breadth from magic, stuck in modern times witching over cauldrons... This real?
"Anyway, this is fun! Mugiwara? The Navy rival character is super cool! My type! Hmm... He goes on to do amazing stuff later, right? Crew? Why's everyone just grinning?"
Early on, he had presence, but as days passed, he became a punchline, and lately faded out entirely. Watching the Navy admiral's ability style, Pilot rubbed her chin, thinking she could use this.
-No, you have the most comic-book power and this is what you pick?
-Don't ignore 20,000 years of otaku history!!!
-At least watch X-Men...
-Even without watching, using it that well is more impressive.
"Why's everyone laughing? Oh right! I watched Fullmetal Alchemist with Ichigo like you said? It sucked... CG was crap. Japanese movies all look the same. Wondered why it's a classic."
-Fuck, we said NO live-action!!!
-Lmao lmao LMAO!!!!
-Crew going insane lololol
-Enlightenment dropping in real time, damn.
-How do you watch live-action and come back like...
"Anyway, pirates are evil. Looked it up online—Straw Hat Pirates? They make money trafficking people."
-Crew words fall on deaf ears!!! Just believes internet!!!!
-What the hell are we to the captain!!!!
-No no no no no.
-Haha, chat's on fire today too.
-Every line is gold...
"Speaking of illegal stuff. Know Kabukicho? Walking there, a host club tout approached. Wanted life experiences, so I went... Aaah, total waste of time. Guy touching me... Not hot enough."
-Huh?
-Wtf, no idea...
-Tout?? Why that word...
-Captain really Navy??
-Why go to a host club just cuz curious!!!
-Super socialite captain goes to Kabukicho.
-Went for pachinko, right?
-No way?
"Yep, went pachinko. That ooh-ooh pampering... Pure dopamine bliss. Pleasure from life's crisis moments. Money melting away, brain melting... That big hit exploding is the real deal. Maybe better than sex for real. Now they track cards, no balls—miss the thrill of watching losers with their pile."
-Y-Yeah...
-Chills in endless abyss.
-Brain pickled in dopamine.
-This mentality for [Shape-Shifting].
-Talking more, crew going crazier.
-No one's more insane than her, that's why we stan.
-Surprisingly, this VTuber's government-affiliated.
-Korea's done. Heading to Japan.
-Japanese gov too. Go China, gayboy.
-Just re-enlist.
-Lololololololol
Once hooked, the crew couldn't resist Mare Pilot's indescribable madness in chit-chat streams.
Not whining about karate beatings, but boasting legal ass-kickings in return.
Climbers really have different mentalities, they marveled.
"Too bad women can't enlist. Dad said Self-Defense Forces training was brutal... Wanted to try. Circling Fuji three times in a week. Body at absolute limit. That alcohol then? God-tier. Real shock, hospitalized."
-Huh?
-Wait, that water... water...
-No more, please...
-First lunatic who wants to enlist.
-Wanted to be like father, war god...
-You wanna drink already?!
"Every day fine...!"
Ssshhk—
Pilot chugged booze with those words.
Beer wouldn't faze her; she tried booting up bro's account for eroge but manager stopped her.
Bubble bubble—
Ichigo was doing alchemy handcam today, brewing all sorts of potions.
Made pills, rolling them around for tricks—but sorting good vs. bad efficiency.
Could read item descriptions without drinking, but effects unknown till tasted.
[Sweet Flame Thrower] explodes on throw, fine as pill.
But [Sweet Flame Potion] better drunk.
Burns gut and throat, but Wakamo used for fire-breathing casually.
Pills slower than potions, so Ichigo sorted those.
Her poison works on any lifeform if fed.
But glass vial breaks—demerit.
Pills cover that; experimenting turning [Rapid Freeze Potion], [Rapid Metal Morph Potion] into pills for throws.
[Concrete Expansion Potion], [Magma Fire Powder], [Blind Moth Venom Powder], etc. Even dynamite-like explosives. Post-stream, rifle slingshot sniping practice planned.
"Ugh..."
Association recipe [Petrify Potion], test [Mana Leak Potion], [Rainbow Glow Potion] done—stream end.
"This is crazy flashy! Good for festivals, hey!!"
Pilot, invited for tests, downed [Rainbow Glow Potion]; multicolored strobe blared.
Monster-taunt glow, eye-searing. Ichigo gave antidote.
[Mana Leak Potion] leaks mana till effect fades—versatile.
Wakamo drank; sauna steam poured. Ichigo rushed antidote.
Meanwhile, Pilot petrified for statue play.
Drank unauthorized [Chocolate Deadly Poison Potion]; muscles melted. Used it to sword-arm, played.
Safety-first Ichigo clutched neck, punched Pilot—but liquid muscles split head to dodge. Pilot cackled in horrific mess.
"Isn't this ParasiteX...?"
"Shinichi! Kin! Watched the movie! Fun, right!"
Pilot ventriloquized with eyes/mouth on palm. Horror without her own.
Wakamo hid in corner; Pilot antidoted, reverted.
Only Pilot's [Shape-Shifting] pro level allowed.
Normally fatal human experiments.
Ichigo innocent—Pilot drank whatever "tasty"!!
"How's it taste, bro-flame?"
"This body's super elite Navy."
"Nakazhu!"
Pilot and brief tussle; Ichigo checked coating potions bought for writing, prepped next floor. Pilot stretched, pondered strategy—sat seiza, meditated in studio corner.
Our Wakamo pondered too.
Like before, better ways to use her [Skills].
'Turtle Ship form mana drain too high.'
[VTuber Model] Skill needs mana.
[Loli Wakamo] model cuts mana, but combat too disadvantaged.
Short limbs no advantage.
Less hit area, lighter—work harder. But [Turtle Ship]? Dizzying.
No clue arms/legs/head.
Move if willed, dragon head fire ok—but that's it.
Mana drains idle; no defense boost!!
Deck rider landing damaged.
[Idol's True Form] freely concentrates to morph, but [VTuber Model] fixed like [VTuber Assets]—nope.
'What if [Idol's True Form] clone starts sword-armed?'
Hands sword now, but armed better?
Even severed, senses remain—pre-make models.
'Not making [Dual Disks]. Regret... Swept by mood. Where use? Incheon Plaza, [Idol's Form] illusion for Duel Tourney...?'
Must test [Idol's Lion]; max [Stats] investment?
Then climb Kyoto Tower.
'Kyoto White Fox & Black Wolf collab soon.'
Checked schedule, VTuber streams—booked flights early, told manager plans, Wakamo started VTuber stream.
Tomorrow, 30 floors straight if possible.
'Whoa... Article: [Overworking Minor Climber on Stream Ok?]... Life-risk climb, yeah...? Tell Ichigo...?'
Worried, texted manager—3 min later, articles gone.
Huh? Just wanted advice.
Manager's "journalist" handled it. "Typo?" too scared to ask.
※※※
"Otsuyayo~"
Three struck "cool" poses for collab start.
Pilot in mystery Navy coat etched "Justice." Ichigo... expressive pose. Wakamo center, crossed arms. No sane person in sight.
Prev floor: Pilot new [Skill]; Ichigo potions from mats.
Wakamo bare hands bad—[Chain Devil's Chains] wrapped arm; [Silver Moonlight] back, just in case.
-Prep thorough unlike before...
-Wtf carrying ore lolol
-No inventory...
-Alchemist optimization not for nothing.
-Just toss?
-Lol yeah lololol
"Before entering, safety chant!"
""Yes!""
-Wtf, every time?
-Obvious? Jobless?
-Call me king of beasts.
-Fox queen here, gtfo.
-Kyaa lololol
-Not rushing = "pro."
-Of course, pros.
-What if hurt?
-Collateral damage. Military necessity, unavoidable sacrifice.
-"Always accident-free."
Crew echoed chant, clapped thrice—prep done.
Sea, sky drop, glacier roll—bring it! Up they went; battlefield in flames appeared.
Skeletal armored corpses scattered. Endless burning trees. Blood-red sky, black clouds.
Grotesque beyond, alien extreme. Viewers shocked; Wakamo/Ichigo too—but Pilot grim, knowing.
"Osaka 50th floor boss that stumped Kwonwang... 『Undying Warrior』!!"
Overly corpse-like "person" stood. Samurai armor, three katanas waist, naginata hand.
Other hand matchlock noticed as barrel aimed—reaction not late.
[Climbing Incheon Tower 28th Floor World]
-Strong climbers' fitting trial.
-Unite three, fight, overcome.
-Defeat [Elite Boss Monster]!
[Platinum Clear Condition]
-Defeat [Mad Undying Warrior] (0/1)
Clang—!!
Boss stumped Kwonwang per daughter. Elite here.
Chains from sleeve whipped, batted bullets. Chains shot nonstop; naginata wrapped, pulled Wakamo—immovable.
Dropped naginata, dual-wielded waist katanas.
Pew pew—!
Ichigo slingshot pills; boom boom, flames surged—but Undying unscathed.
Switched ammo, froze area—but field flames melted ice vainly. Frowned.
[Magma Fire Powder] pill [Lava Flame] burned flowed; Undying strolled calm.
"Fire attacks null, status ailments immune, magic ineffective!!"
-Wtf bullshit monster.
-God-tier "fuck you" mix sense...
-That's it? Why so bullshit lol
Pilot fogged, charged leap; Wakamo chain-waist yanked back.
Simultaneous space-slashing strike.
".....!"
Pale Pilot pulled; Wakamo gripped [Kusanagi Sword], charged.
Huge fox giant charge; Undying dropped gun, dual katanas.
Flames flared armor gaps; afterimage-speed strikes flew at Wakamo.
Poured mana equal, clashed blocked.
Her stance immovable advantage; Undying pushed back.
Undead-like but smart—no power struggle, agile dance-slashes at Wakamo; she tracked all visually, parried.
To outsiders: swordmasters life-or-death duel!
Reality: Wakamo's Kusanagi bladeless—can't cut!!
But not main, time-drag fine.
Dozens mystery attack skills—all sword.
Unblockable tanked ignored; berserk clung.
"Die!!"
[Alchemy-Metal Morph], [Alchemy-Artistic Sculpt] Silver Moonlight armor.
Inside, Pilot full fighting pose.
"Ichigo! Signal!"
"Here goes! Nakarat!"
"Cha-bong, Pilot! Charging! Ugogogo!!"
No-gap deadly swordfight; silver armor charged.
Behind, Ichigo speared remaining Silver Moonlight, pursued.
[Concrete Expansion Potion], new [Rapid Earth Morph Potion] tossed legs; swung to slice—but chain snagged sword, yanked disarm.
Hand to last sword; earth heaved, square pillar crushed legs, expanding concrete covered.
Flash—
Immobile fine; afterimages, dozens swords swarmed Wakamo.
Accel/damage-up [Enhance Skill] passive; Elite [Berserk], rampaging.
Untouched range slashed; Wakamo bodied stray to shield Ichigo; Pilot foot-planted shoulder, leaped.
"No counters for overheads!!!"
Dodged falling kick; sword pierced chest, another head—ripped.
"....!!"
Empty armor shown.
No time panic; headless armor grabbed sword, [Metal Transmutation] arms, fled.
"Magic null only body! Weapons take it!!"
[Fusion Assimilation]; Pilot one with armor.
Undying pierced empty shell.
Last sword swing; Wakamo blocked intrusion. Dropped sword bold, fist stance.
Broke Ichigo binds simultaneous; dodged Pilot kick agile, sword-slashed.
Ichigo slid ice, tossed waist metal plate.
Crackle—air-morphed spear missed pierce.
Puk!
Blocked arm-swing at Ichigo plenty.
Delayed kick with earth wall; leaped dex high, barely evaded.
Big kick motion Undying; armor charged—handblade halved like sword.
"Jajajaja—"
Shed husk tossed.
Shadow-darkness Pilot grabbed Ichigo's iron rod; arm-absorbed steel glove overhead, smashed waist.
Gap airborne; Ichigo spear head-smashed.
Wakamo midair-caught spinning spear, vertical plunge—
BOOM!!
"....Hoo"
Dropped crumpled spear; Wakamo atop crushed Undying, sighed relief.
[Stats]
Mana: 25,321.
[Bonus Stats: 35]
[Attack Skill] jobs hurt blocking/hitting... Climbers patternless worse; Kwonwang-like elites, still lacking—reflected, rolled shoulders.
[Incheon Tower 28th Floor Platinum cleared; open to all humanity!!]
[Tower Platinum clear; rewards settling]
'Hope no "too easy" illusion.'
Wakamo class lowered diff(?), brutal high(?) balance. Her low rewards despite effort maybe too.
Tower thinks "low reward, why bother?"
"Yahoo yahoo!!"
Ichigo got [Alchemy-Property Transmute (Poison)]; Pilot useless [Magic Skill] +1 to 10! Bragged. No choice? Tower gift?
Wakamo gave 5 pts each; +15 new, excitedly invested.
Community: Climbers jealous af.
VTubers/corpos/privileged climb higher—same.
"Next floor now?"
[Field] worries; stepped next.
Dazzling light ambush prep; Wakamo front-guarded Ichigo/Pilot, eyed dark giant.
[Climbing Incheon Tower 29th Floor World]
-Strong climbers' fitting trial.
-Unite three, fight, overcome.
-Defeat [Elite Boss Monster]!
[Platinum Clear Condition]
-Defeat [Swamp Rock Spirit] (0/1)
-Break [Infinite Regen Gimmick] (0/1)
"Uh, um—"
All swamp; sky rained dirt nonstop.
Absorbing, growing rock spirit.
"Healing factor's cheating, huh?"
Shrugged Wakamo buried under rock spirit swing into swamp.
