"...don't scare me again, okay?"
"I am sorry. Stop crying, okay?"
In the hospital room, Shinra wiped Kikoru's tears after he received treatment for his injury. Still, while he was injured, it wasn't as serious as it appeared to be. Instead, his body was okay, especially when he wasn't weak.
However, he would be lying if he said that Kafka's fist was weak, and some of his rib bones were broken.
Frankly, if he wanted to, Kafka's fist wouldn't hit him no matter what, but he wanted to bet that, as he was hurt, Kafka would definitely wake up, since that was how a hero, the MC, gained control over his body.
Thus, he let himself be hurt, and as expected before the finishing blow, Kafka had woken up.
While he was hurt, he felt that Kafka should have hit him harder, especially for what he had done; yet, he didn't really regret it, since Mina was a wonderful woman.
If Kafka hadn't become a Kaiju, even if he hadn't been a soldier or even talented, but had decided to face Mina, Shinra knew that their ending wouldn't have been like this. However, as Kafka had become a Kaiju, nothing could be done anymore.
Kafka's power might be fascinating, but Shinra didn't plan to take it, especially when he didn't want to become a Kaiju. While he had taken the abilities of a Kaiju previously, he didn't take the Kaiju's appearance or DNA into his body, only the special abilities, especially the merging ability, which he loved the most.
Yes, if Shinra wished to, he could take a copy of the Kaiju No. 9 of everything, but if he dared to do so, his body would also become that of a Kaiju. While he might be okay, what about his future children?
Would his children become Kaiju when his women gave birth to them?
Which was why Shinra didn't take everything about the Kaiju previously; he only considered the abilities and some knowledge. The rest, such as physical abilities, traits, and many others, he ignored.
Unless he had a way to control those traits, which were recorded on his DNA or semen, so it wouldn't be inherited by his children, then he wouldn't dare to take away the Kaiju's traits with his Eye of Usurp.
Yes, Shinra could also usurp Kafka's abilities, too, but he wasn't so cruel to do it, especially when the power of Kafka's Kaiju form wasn't what he needed the most, and while he couldn't say that he was a good person, he felt that it was too much if he took away Kafka's power even though this guy's fate was already bad enough.
At least, after Kafka became a Kaiju, he should become a hero instead of being hopeless and helpless like before.
Shinra knew that it was naive, but with the ability to merge from Kaiju No. 9, which made him able to gain the ability of everything, which he merged into his body, he had no need to be in a hurry to turn his eyes into the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.
With this merging ability, he could merge with that talented human in the world of One Piece.
Yes, after he gained the power of the Kaiju No. 9, he planned to return to the world of One Piece since it was the best way for him to grow stronger currently.
The world of Kengan was too weak to improve his ability.
The world of Kaiju No. 8 was a little too... hard since the human was weak, and the Kaiju might cause a strange mutation on his body.
As for the world of Naruto, frankly, he wasn't confident enough to go back, at his current level, especially when his battle experiences were still lacking, and he also didn't have absolute power that could destroy all of his enemies.
The Mangekyou Sharingan might be good, but it just wasn't enough since Shinra knew well that many of his enemies were unreasonable existences, and they had a lot of armies under them, especially on that world, he had been labeled as a criminal, which made his enemies able to make others to help them to take him down.
Meanwhile, the world of One Piece had a lot of varieties of unique powers, and he could get stronger in that world with ease, especially when no one really knew about him.
At the same time, Shinra also felt that he needed to think about what to do in the world of Naruto first, except for killing those who had put him in danger, especially when he didn't want to live or rule with terror, as it was troublesome and exhausting.
The best way to rule was like Sarutobi Hirozune, who pretended to be a saint, which caused people to be fanatic and serve him like worshippers.
Belief.
This was a powerful force, especially for the ruler, as it could compel their subjects to sacrifice their lives. An example is the Crusades, the campaigns to the Holy Land aimed at reclaiming Jerusalem and its surrounding territories from Muslim rule, as many soldiers fought for their beliefs in that war.
Still, before all of that, his individual strength needed to be improved, and with the Bane Bane no Mi, he realized that it was easier to improve it.
The ability of the Bane Bane no Mi was to give his body the properties of a spring or turn his body into a spring. The use of the spring had many purposes, but primarily, it was to absorb energy, especially kinetic energy, which could then be released later.
However, this had a limit, as it was impossible to absorb an energy without a limit, and when it reached the limit, he would be broken, like Bellamy, who was beaten to half-dead by him and Luffy in the original.
Yet, when Shinra broke this limit, he could improve this ability further, which increased his defence, making him invulnerable, as he could absorb all the attacks, especially the kinetic energy type.
As for a heat or element type, such as freezing, light, or even unique types of abilities that didn't rely on physical or kinetic abilities, it was a little troublesome, but if he developed the Bane Bane no Mi further, he might be able to bounce all attacks and return them to his enemies.
Still, he could think of that later, especially when he had to defeat the Kaiju No. 9 first and take everything.
However, before Kaiju No. 9, he had to defeat the woman before him first.
"Ugh...!"
All of a sudden, Kikoru straddled his waist, and her small palm reached toward his sensitive area, which quickly turned stiff like that of a spear, which made her flush and excited.
"You might be hurt, but this thing is as healthy as ever, huh?"
"Kikoru..."
"It's fine~! You don't have to move and just enjoy, okay~?"
As she removed her pants skillfully, she held the large object on his lower body, sighing inwardly, thinking that he was like a Kaiju, but as a soldier of the Defense Force, she swore to defeat this Kaiju!
With her unique weapon, Kikoru swallowed Shinra's Kaiju inside her body, causing her to tremble, twitch, and reach a climax, which made her realize that she needed time to grow into a powerful soldier.
