Chaos and Order - A Multiverse Fanfic

With Madam Villanelle's discovery of Kai's actions of freeing the Lord of Azkaban, the Order learned what had transpired in the Tomb of the Thirteen.

When the Order learned it, it was natural that not only Kai's Main Mission's timeline, but the entire Random World of Harry Potter learned it.

When the Random World itself learned it, it was natural that the Multiverse learned it as well.

And when the Multiverse learned it, how could the Primordial Tower be left behind?

Sure the sequence and true nature of events kept diluting as they became rumors, spreading from one place to another, but the spark of the truth always lingered even in the ashes of the falseness.

For the Primordial Tower that was enough…

… to update the Bounties of the White Serpent Pirates!

…

18th floor,

The City of Colors

Shadow Origin handed over the bundle of Wanted Posters to the King, both standing on the balcony of the High Chamber of the Purple Castle.

Purple mist surrounded King Purple Mist, bolts of purple-colored lightning snaking within it.

His eyes landed on the Wanted Poster at the top.

It showed the grayed image of a demonic existence, the fanged grin on its face reaching its ears. But even the grayness failed to hide the purpleness of its skin and the bloody glow of its eyes.

Under the image, RED was written in bold letters.

Bounty — 500,000,000 Berries!!!

…

"Your Grace…" Shadow Origin cleared his throat, letting his thoughts go unsaid.

King Purple Mist read them like reading the whims of a child.

"Someone obviously tried to learn Red's appearance from the Tower," he told the Viceroy. "A failed attempt. You can still notice the resemblance… He must be undergoing some transformation here."

Ah! Shadow Origin nodded in understanding. Probably someone from one of the Temples… That's why the image is grayed out as if it has been taken from someone's memory.

Still, the image itself wasn't what puzzled the Viceroy the most.

King Purple Mist continued with a hint of amusement in his voice. "A Bounty of Five Hundred Million after only two years doesn't make sense?"

Shadow Origin chuckled ruefully. "Even if he won the Tournament, your grace," he said, choosing his words correctly, "… and even if he has Observation Haki…"

Then the King dropped a bomb on Shadow Origin.

"Red is not a 2nd Set Contestant anymore."

What?!

Shadow Origin stood there stunned.

"He has Assimilated Sets in his Main Mission," the King said, looking at the Wanted Poster. "If I have to guess, then he must be a Top-level 7th floor Contestant now.

"With him being the winner of Survival Tournament of Worth, it wouldn't surprise me if he can take on Top-level 9th floor existences."

Shadow Origin nodded in understanding.

Battling many floors above one's level wasn't something that stood out to him. This was something one expected from Contestant of their strength.

What was surprising was Red's ability to gain Attribute Points in a mere two years to reach that level.

And then the King dropped a nuclear bomb on Shadow Origin's mind.

"I wouldn't be surprised if…" the King said, his voice solemn, "… Red's also aiming to be a Conqueror…"

Shadow Origin's eyes popped out. Conqueror's Haki?!

For a moment, King Purple Mist's grip on the Wanted Posters tightened. "He has Twin-Saber Style…"

Now the Viceroy was puzzled, his heartbeat going through highs and lows. This was the first time he heard of this Ability, if an Ability it was.

Shadow Origin gulped. "… What's so special about Twin-Saber Style, your grace?"

Silence.

The silence surrounding the King Purple Mist was so choking, in fact, that not even the tiny bolts of purple lightning could break it.

Sweat drenched Shadow Origin's back.

With a sigh, King Purple Mist loosened his grip. "It would be best if no one else knew of this, Viceroy," he said… commanded.

Shadow Origin's knees struck the ground. "As you command, your grace."

Then, King Purple Mist let out a small chuckle.

"Red's an interesting Contestant," he mumbled more to himself. "Very interesting. What's even more interesting is that despite being a complete loner, he has surrounded himself with unique… followers."

Shadow Origin stood up, thinking the same.

The King passed Red's Wanted Poster to the Viceroy and looked at the new one.

It showed a red-haired woman in Akatsuki's robes, wielding a magnificent bow. One could see a hint of two Pokemon around her, covered in dust. And speaking of dust, there was a starry eye replacing the sky behind her.

Under the image, MORNING MIST was written in bold letters.

Bounty — 50,000,000 Berries!!!

…

"She's ranked 4th in the Tournament," Shadow Origin explained. "And that eye…"

King Purple Mist scoffed. "I wonder for how long the Temple of the Yellow King would hide its embarrassment behind her Bounty…"

Saying that, he handed over Meg's poster to the Viceroy as well.

The next poster held the image of a woman donning blue-gold armor and wielding a giant Claymore. A seven-colored hue blurred the surroundings behind her.

Under it, STARK BLUE was written in bold letters.

Bounty — 100,000,000 Berries!!!

…

"I've always wondered how the Tower decides the Worthiness of Storyline Characters," Shadow Origin commented, taking Moraine's poster. "Shouldn't they all resurrect in the Tower after dying…"

King Purple Mist looked over his shoulder, his appearance a mere darker shade of purple in the purple mist surrounding him.

A chill ran down the Viceroy's spine.

"… I am sorry, your grace," he apologized.

"Don't underplay your knowledge, Shadow Origin," King Purple Mist said. "You are also an 18th-floor Contestant."

The Viceroy nodded, a twitch dancing on his mouth.

Knowing Shadow Origin knew the answer, the King answered anyway. "It isn't a matter of Worthiness with the Storyline Characters. It's the matter of—if SHE's willing to let them go or not."

The black-haired and black-suited Contestant's eyes glowed, confirming his doubt.

He knew who exactly was this SHE the King was talking about.

King Purple Mist then looked at the next poster.

It showed the upper half of Vash the Stampede, surrounded by two blurry giants, both wielding gigantic guns.

Under it, RED SUN was written in bold letters.

Bounty — 700,000,000 Berries!!!

…

A mere twenty million rise in Red Sun's bounty, despite his rising to the ranks of 10th-floor Contestant, didn't surprise the two.

"There's so far one can go depending on external means," the King said, handing over Red Sun's poster. "If he doesn't join the Billion Club before ascending to the 5th Set, discard him."

Shadow Origin's eyes narrowed, a smile dancing on his lips.

The next poster was where King Purple Mist's gaze paused the most.

SPAWN, it said, showing the same image.

Bounty — 250,000,000 Berries!!!

…

"The BEAST's Claws are going berserk over her," Shadow Origin explained, taking her poster. "She massacred at least a thousand on the 6th-floor before disappearing."

The Old One, Amon-Gorloth, also went by the name of the BEAST among the Contestants, as calling HIS true name would invite nothing but calamity. And HIS Priests went by the name of Claws, resonating with HIS authorities.

"I am looking forward to her performance in the Tournament of Worth next year," King Purple Mist said. "Let someone under you Sponsor her."

Shadow Origin acknowledged.

Surprisingly, there were two more Wanted Posters left in the King's hands.

He separated the two and looked at them simultaneously, both contrasting each other.

One held a beauty covered in black from nose to toe, bat-like wings stretched out on her back. She was holding two guns in her hands, her green eyes pulsating under the black, diamond-like mark on her forehead.

SHADOW QUEEN.

Bounty — 45,000,000 Berries!!!

…

The second poster held the image of a warrior donning bronze armor, two cylinders filled with green liquid jutting out from its pauldrons.

There were two red-colored longswords in its hands as well, a coiling breath hissing out of its helmet.

BRONZE TITAN.

Bounty — 66,000,000 Berries!!!

…

"Who are they?" King Purple Mist asked.

And the Viceroy dropped a bomb on the King this time.

"… I…" Shadow Origin stuttered, beads of sweat wetting his forehead, "… I couldn't find, your grace…"
