A person in Tokyo becomes a demon god

Chapter 115 Green Devouring World
Rumble rumble rumble~~!!
The entire city of Takatsuki was trembling.
This was not an earthquake, but rather caused by countless giant vines emerging from the ground.

The Lush Fruit is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit.

This Devil Fruit user can generate numerous vines from the earth, manipulating these vines to grow, attack, and even move at high speeds. It is the ability of Binz, a disciple of former Marine Admiral Zephyr in the One Piece world, and one of the survivors of the 'Seven Warlords of the Sea' attack.

She was a ninja dressed in a very flamboyant manner.
Compared to him, another dashing and beautiful woman in military uniform, Ian, is much prettier.

Moreover, touching her 'Regression Fruit' can make someone 12 years younger.

It belongs to the lower level of 'fruits of the year'.

The Abundant Fruit is a lower grade of the 'Forest Fruit'.

Glug glug

Thick vines, each thicker than a person's waist, burst from the ground and began to twine around the skyscrapers!

Countless giant vines grew wildly, stretching out their branches and leaves to form enormous plants; the huge leaves unfolded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even more tiny vines grew out, with countless sharp thorns appearing on them, like whips, waving wildly.

It looks spectacular, but it's nothing compared to the vines that reach into the clouds and support the nation from the 'Sky Island'.

"Very good, next—"

As the little girl 'Liuhe' waved her hand...

Countless tiny vines spread like snakes, causing screams to erupt throughout the city under the cover of night!
These vines all have the ability to prey on and absorb animals.

This is perfectly normal in the world of One Piece.

Not to mention mere carnivorous vines, there are even colossal plants that are full of 'food' and disguised as islands: attracting sea kings to climb onto the islands to forage for food, and then being devoured by them!
Its name is Boeing Islands.
That is, the island where Usopp was sent to 'train'.

Thrilling adventures belong to the strong; the weak are nothing more than unnoticed corpses on the roadside.

"In this way, we can restore the original scenery and help our 'benefactor' sister collect souls."

The little girl named Liuhe, who looked very similar to Taishang, clapped her hands.

"If only this land were planted with trees,"

"Everyone will come back!"

"Huh huh huh~~"

A child's innocent humming echoed above the city.

Since the invention of the light bulb,

Nighttime is no longer a natural phenomenon that restricts human activity.

Since the invention of the mobile phone...
The boundary between day and night has become completely blurred: for most young people, falling asleep while scrolling through their phones is a very common daily routine.

[Xiao Zhang, aren't you asleep yet?]

On my phone, I received a LINE message with a profile picture of someone nicknamed 'girlfriend'.

[Still awake? Yui, why are you staying up so late too?]

In the apartment,
A boy lying in bed, engrossed in his phone, is chatting with a girl on the other side of the city.

Although he secretly changed the other person's nickname to 'girlfriend', the boy was a typical love coward—even though they were childhood sweethearts, he never dared to confess his feelings; even after the other person moved away, he still couldn't bring himself to say it.

I can't sleep. In this world, who knows whether death or an accident will come first?

The message sent back from the phone made the boy lying in bed sit up.

A few days ago, the "Night Parade of One Hundred Demons" took place in Osaka.
Although the government and foreign troops arrived quickly, the number of casualties was not released by the government, and everyone could only speculate.

In such a situation, everyone would feel insecure.

If anything happens, I will protect Yui.

He mustered his courage and sent out those words, but soon received a reply that left the boy scratching his head.

[Really? Who was it that cried after being scared by dolphins at the aquarium?]

There are also haunted houses and roller coasters.

【Hey, when were those things?】

While typing his rebuttal, the boy named 'Bu Buzhang' glanced at the ground beside him.

In his room were two dumbbells for exercise: they didn't require much equipment; just looking at the two dumbbells with their handles worn smooth, you could tell that the boy hadn't wasted his time.

A scholar should be viewed with new respect after three days' absence.

We haven't seen each other for a year, so you'll be very surprised!

In response to the boy's boasting, the girl opposite him sent an angry emoji, and:

[A video call would have been fine, but my phone's about to die. Let's talk later.]

Okay, let's talk next time.

"Just you wait, Yui, I'll confess next time."

In order to overcome his timidity, the boy named Bubu Zhang worked out every day for a year, only resting when he was drenched in sweat.

Not to mention compared to professional bodybuilders, but—

I went to the bathroom and lifted my clothes.

His clearly defined muscles were on full display, and the narcissistic boy struck a few bodybuilding poses.

"These muscles are worth the year of hard work!"

It was indeed very tiring at first.

But after getting used to it, it doesn't feel that great; human adaptability is truly remarkable.
"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

?

The apartment began to shake.
At the same time, a loud commotion broke out outside.

The voices of countless people converged into a rolling wave of sound, echoing throughout the city and resounding to the heavens!
earthquake?

brush,

I rushed to the window and looked down.

Pupils shrink!

In the eyes of Bu Buzhang, vines as thick as a person's waist were sprouting from the ground on the street below the apartment!

From these enormous 'plants' sprouted vines that began to entangle and drag away the passersby. Then:

In the struggle, it visibly shriveled up!

? ?
"Supernatural disaster!!"

Without a doubt, this mind-blowing scene can only be explained by the supernatural.

Call the police!

No, Yui!
I took out my phone, still on the LINE chat screen.

However, there was no response whether I sent a message or requested a video chat.

After a long time, I dialed the other person's number.

"Beep beep beep,"

The busy tone from the phone made the boy nervously pace back and forth in the room.

"Answer the phone, please answer the phone!" There was no miracle. After dialing several times, Urabe Akira had to admit that Yui's phone was probably really out of battery.

Besides mobile phones, what other methods of communication are there?
Knock knock knock,

Turning my head at the sound, I saw vines spreading and thrashing against the window.

this? !

"Run!"

"Close the door! These vines will eat you!"

All sorts of heart-wrenching sounds rang out against the extremely chaotic background.

Clearly, the residents of this apartment building also noticed the vines trying to climb into their rooms and began to try to save themselves.

Close the door and retreat to a deeper room?
and many more!

"Yui?"

Listen to the commotion outside; the entire city is being attacked by these eerie vines.

The thought of his childhood sweetheart made the young man restless.
Moreover, sitting idly by and waiting to die is not a good option either.

"Calm down, calm down,"

"Yui's house is on the outskirts of the city. Go to her house first, then escape!"

Without hesitation, the boy named Bu Buzhang grabbed a tracksuit from beside the bed and put it on, along with fingerless gloves, sneakers, and:
"this,"

He took down the samurai sword hanging on the wall and tightened his grip on the weapon.

This is training equipment he bought online.

Yes, it's essentially fitness equipment—but this modern, high-carbon steel assembly-line product would have been a powerful weapon in ancient times.
"No, maybe there really were all sorts of divine weapons in ancient times."

Bu Buzhang quickly made preparations.

then:

Beep beep beep

The phone rang.

The boy excitedly took it out to take a look.

"mom?"

"Supernatural disaster? That's impossible—"

As soon as the door was opened, the boy holding the katana saw a snake-like vine 'slithering' down the corridor.

"Fight!"

Hold the knife with both hands, just like you would in a normal practice swing, and raise it high above your head.

brush---

With a sudden slash, a resilient sensation returned.

Dragging the katana and slashing fiercely:

Pfft

Half a vine fell down the corridor, 'struggling' violently like a snake whose head had been cut off.

Bright red liquid was oozing from the severed ends of the vines!

"what?"

"I'm working out!"

As he leaped over the broken vines and rushed towards the stairs, Urabe Zhang comforted his mother on the other end of the phone.

"There aren't that many supernatural disasters; it's all exaggerated online—"

While using a headset and talking on the phone, Bu Buzhang rushed downstairs.

Looking around, the streets were filled with panicked people fleeing for their lives, people entangled in vines, and mummified corpses.

What kind of supernatural disaster is this?

"I'm not talking anymore. Take care of yourselves, you and Dad!"

After hanging up the phone, the boy, wielding a samurai sword, found his direction and began running wildly through the streets.

Fortunately, my parents work in Osaka. Because of the recent "Night Parade of One Hundred Demons," they were working overtime on reconstruction work and were living and eating there, so they escaped the disaster.

asshole!

Think about it carefully,

The 'boring' times were happier back then.

In a truly supernatural era, most people would be ordinary citizens fleeing in panic, rather than heroes saving the world!

"Help! Help me—"

The sound coming from the side made Bu Buzhang subconsciously stop in his tracks.

It was a child lying face down at the entrance of the alley, crying bitterly.

"Stand up quickly!"

Just as Bu Buzhang subconsciously ran in that direction, an older man also ran over from the other side.

"Quickly, find a place to hide—"

However, just as the uncle approached the 'child,' a huge mouth full of sharp teeth suddenly sprang out from the alley.

puff,

He swallowed the middle-aged man whole in one gulp.

???

With the help of the light, Bu Buzhang was able to see clearly that it was a giant pitcher plant!
And the so-called 'children' are:

The giant pitcher plant writhed a few times, opened its enormous mouth, and spat out:
"Help! Help me—"

A child 'grown' on tentacles: a child with only an upper body.

No, this isn't a child, it's 'bait'!
hiss--

He gasped.
Bu Buzhang subconsciously retreated repeatedly.

This...this is a supernatural disaster?! Damn it!

He turned and ran wildly towards Yui's house, ignoring all cries for help and screams—if it weren't for that old man, he would be the one being swallowed up now.

What's wrong with this world?!

"Get out of my way!"

As he ran, he swung his knife and cleaved a vine that had sprouted from the side, his face contorted with rage.

His name is Bu Buzhang.
The city they live in has been attacked by a supernatural disaster.

All I have to do now is survive; then find Yui and escape this city!
