A person in Tokyo becomes a demon god

Chapter 90 Lion-Tiger Beast: I'm terrifyingly strong now!
"Huh? We're going to deal with a D-rank monster?"

With one foot stomping on a dissipating monster, Iori Kazuka pressed her earpiece in annoyance.

"Is there any mistake?"

"We're just yakuza, not an army!"

As local "mercenaries" of the island nation, there are quite a few yakuza organizations like Iori Kazuka, all of whom are here to take a gamble: with supernatural disasters occurring frequently, you might as well take a chance and maybe gain supernatural powers.
Even if they don't, the government will turn a blind eye to anything they 'take' during the mission.

“Zzzzz, it’s me, Director Fujita.”

The next second, the voice of the Metropolitan Police Department chief came through the earpiece.

"You are Mitani Kana's friends,"

The moment the other party opened their mouth, they directly exposed Iori Kazuka's 'secrets'.

“Regardless of whether you have obtained anything from her, as ‘insiders,’ you have an obligation to fight for the island nation.”

Calm words,
There was absolutely no option for people to refuse.

However, Director Fujita's approach wasn't just about applying pressure:

"After the disaster is over, the Metropolitan Police Department will not treat you unfairly."

"I--"

"No problem, Mr. Director."

A voice broke into the conversation; it was Nozomi Tenma, who was next to Iori Kazuka and had pressed her earpiece.

"Tenma, are you really going to risk your life for the Metropolitan Police Department?"

After ending the call, Iori Kazuka frowned and asked her friend.

"We're not heroes, we're here to make money, don't get yourselves involved."

That makes sense. They're not like Miyako Hana, who, just because she wears that skin, is subject to government jurisdiction.

With the advent of the supernatural era, the Metropolitan Police Department's benefits have steadily increased, but the rules have also become increasingly strict; if one disobeys orders, they will truly be executed on the spot.

We talk about freedom and human rights in peacetime, but in times of war, it's all about bullets.

"I know, but—"

He clenched his fist, and a hint of determination flashed in Pegasus Hope's eyes as he wore sportswear and had an androgynous appearance.

"If we don't go, who will?"

The two of them are already 'supernatural beings'!

As it turns out, childhood friend 'Ah Xing's' skills were quite reliable, allowing both of them to successfully get through the enhancement period.

Of course, there's also the reason that both of them were 'strong' in the past: unlike most modern people who are physically inactive and ignorant of farming, one is a yakuza boss and the other is a mixed martial arts fighter, both of whom are outstanding in terms of physique and willpower.

"What if Meigu goes there?"

Miya Hana was the first among them to become a supernatural being; however, in the eyes of the other two, she was the weakest.

After all, no matter how high your talent is, it will be wasted without training and real combat: Pegasus Hope, who has the least talent among the three, is actually the strongest one!

This confidence is the result of more than a decade of hard work and sacrifice.

In the octagonal cage,

There were instances of people getting their heads bruised and bloodied.

"All right,"

Since Tenma wants to go, Iori Kazuka has no choice but to accompany him, even at the cost of her life.

"On the other hand, there are also a large number of other yakuza organizations and foreign mercenaries in this city."

Perhaps by the time they get there, these people will have already dealt with that D-rank monster?

"Ahhhhh!!"

"Run!"

"It's a D-rank monster! Retreat! Retreat!"

However, if only things were that simple, near the Municipal Kizu Junior High School in Daikoku 9-chome, Naniwa Ward, Osaka City, a group of muscular men in floral shirts, slippers, tattoos, and sunglasses were fleeing for their lives.

These men have darker skin, more wrinkles, and curly hair compared to islanders because most of them are immigrants from outside the island.

People who commit crimes in island nations tend to go to brothels.

Many people come to the island nation to 'make a fortune', even if they are not guests of honor.
The wages here are higher than in the non-concierge area, and there's also a very convenient way to make money.

woman,

Non-local women are both 'open-minded' and 'worthless'.

These people were organized to smuggle themselves to the island nation and compete with the local yakuza for the 'Kabukicho' business: their core competitiveness was their low prices.

This yakuza group, composed of non-professionals, is called 'Blackout'. Adhering to the fine traditions of foreign forces, they are daring and aggressive. A few months ago, they had a large-scale conflict with the local yakuza, and the locals had to call the police in a panic to save their lives.

But now, these yakuza members, known for their 'daring and fighting spirit,' are scattering and fleeing for their lives.

Because their opponent was a behemoth three meters long.

"Hoo~~~!"

Standing proudly on the car roof,

Lion Luna feels amazing!

For some reason, these 'two-legged creatures' have become very small.

Although he used to be tall and thin, at least he had a height that could intimidate him.

Now, even height is no longer an advantage: that's right, with its continued feeding, this 'liger' is still growing, and its shoulder height has reached 1.6 meters, making it able to look down on these frivolous yakuza members.

How could there be no food?

This place is full of dissatisfaction!
The moment the thought of cannibalism arises, one suddenly feels the vastness of the world.

The old 'Luna' never thought about the problem of 'eating two-legged beasts': their sheer numbers meant they could crush him into mincemeat with a single claw.

But things are different now. With the improvement of his 'intelligence', Luna suddenly discovered that the two-legged beasts he once thought were invincible were no match for him.

Such a small creature can be used as food!

"Ahhh, don't eat it—"

He picked up a two-legged creature and tossed it into the air.

Click!

The gaping maw suddenly bit down on the falling yakuza member, then began to chew.

Click, click,
good to eat!

Fresh flesh and blood,
This made the saber-toothed tiger's will within the lion 'Luna' even more exuberant. "Zoan-type Devil Fruits all possess their own will": this was said by the Five Elders. And considering the World Government's large number of Zoan-type users with 'everyone awakening' their abilities, this statement is highly credible.

If you are not strong, once you can't suppress your animal instincts, you will fail to awaken and become one of the 'jailer beasts' in Impel Down.

This is also why Akizuki Ritsu doesn't particularly like 'zoo-type' characters.

His abilities were weak in the early stages anyway.

There are even potential hidden dangers!

It's really trash.

Before we understand it,

At most, they can use the abilities that come with the Mythical Beast species.

Using Animal-type Pokémon to boost stamina is probably not a good idea;
In any case, all the supernatural power in the world originates from Akizuki Ritsu, so there's no need to rush; take your time.

"Roar!!!"

The lion 'Luna,' the test subject, was still basking in its 'invincible' glory.

marvelous,

The world is so 'free'!
The life I used to lead, spending every day squatting in the cage waiting to be fed, was utterly meaningless.

The increase in his IQ even led him to develop a thought process of pursuing the 'meaning' of existence. Given enough time, he might even learn human language.

Buggy's Pirates

For a time, a lion served as the 'captain'.

"Is it this area?"

"Be careful, we have already stepped into their territory."

The yakuza members who were scattering and fleeing soon ran into a group of burly men: the men were tall, wore heavy bomb suits, and even reeked of alcohol; they casually picked up these unruly yakuza members and questioned them in broken Japanese.

"A monster? There?"

"Over there, over there—"

Ok?
"What a big monster!"

"1.6 meters tall at the shoulder, 3 meters long, including the tail."

Is this some kind of lion or tiger?

It has the mane of a lion, yet also the black and brown stripes of a tiger, and two long fangs in its mouth, like two sharp blades.

It looks like a monster with formidable melee combat skills.

"on!"

"Make sure to cover each other,"

After arriving at the battlefield, the Russian army charged directly at the enemy without any hesitation.

Shields in front, various short weapons behind: because this supernatural disaster called 'Ghost Ball' completely disregards the laws of physics, and no guns, flames, electricity, or poison gas are effective, then they will unleash the fearless charge that the Slavs are good at.

"Ula!!"

"Ula!"

The soldiers at the forefront saw the monster raise its front paws and immediately crouched down slightly, raising their huge riot shields at a 60-degree angle.

Even though there had been no 'cold weapon' warfare before, all the records and information from that time still exist.

With the training and discipline of modern soldiers, learning even a fraction of it wouldn't be a problem at all.

"top--"

Bang! !

There was a loud noise,
The soldiers in the front row with shields 'flew' into the air.

All I could see were receding lines; my whole body was numb; and I spun around and crashed heavily to the ground.
Without even the strength to get up, the soldiers who had been hit saw their comrades flying through the air, along with screams and roars.

"Damn it!"

"How can this monster be so strong?!"

The commander-in-chief at the rear narrowed his eyes. In his eyes, the monster, which seemed to be a combination of a lion and a tiger, sent more than a dozen of his comrades flying with just two swipes of its claws.

Is this a Class D supernatural being? It's definitely much more powerful than Class E, and—

A sense of unease flashed through my mind.
This made the commander frown.

seem,

What important information is it?

"Yabai, this is the mission objective?!"

When Tenma Nozomi and Iori Kazuka led the 'Iori Group' to the coordinates, what they saw was a large Russian army forming a human wall.

And the soldiers who were sent flying high into the air by a single slap from the other side, flailing their arms and screaming in agony.

"It's practically infantry fighting armored vehicles,"

The situation was completely one-sided: because long-range weapons were ineffective, the Russian army could only form a human wall to try to fight hand-to-hand combat.

But this 'liger' was too strong: it could slap a tight wall of people away.

This power is something even an elephant couldn't achieve!

What's even more absurd is that this monster actually has a decent 'intelligence'; it clearly knows to dodge the spear thrusting out after the shield is in place.

It should be noted that in the minds of most wild animals, the existence of two-legged creatures with 'slender claws' up to two meters long is simply incomprehensible: the kind of beasts that know how to dodge weapons only exists in the writings of certain writers.

"Ho ho ho~~"

As he swatted the two-legged creatures away, the lion Luna roared excitedly, looking up at them.

I remember now, I remember everything!

He is the king!
It is at the top of the food chain.
How could a mere two-legged creature possibly be his match?
Just as the excited lion-tiger beasts were pressing down on the Great Mao's army, two low-lying figures rushed in from the side and joined the battle.

?

Bang!
next moment,
The excruciating pain came from Luna's knee.

A steel pipe and an axe struck his knee with tremendous force, tearing through his skin and penetrating deep into his flesh.

"roar--?!"

PS: Regarding the fact that Zoan-type Devil Fruits have their own will, the setting of this book is: when awakening, one must overcome the will of the fruit, otherwise one will be devoured by it (out of control).
