The Strongest Eriri in History

Not far from Eriri's throne, Ophis and Saitama stood facing each other.

Seeing Saitama standing there completely unguarded, Ophis showed no intention of holding back. She wanted to finish this quickly and claim her reward from Eriri.

In an instant, she flashed forward, appearing right in front of Saitama, and swung her small fist directly at his chest.

Her speed was so fast that it seemed like teleportation. Even with Saitama's sharp vision, he couldn't track her movements at all.

The sudden attack caused Saitama's expression to change slightly—he realized he had underestimated this little girl.

At this point, it was too late to defend himself, but he wasn't too worried. He was well aware of his own body's durability and didn't believe Ophis could knock him down with a single punch.

However, reality and expectations often differ greatly.

The moment Ophis's small fist made contact with Saitama's body, an incomparably powerful force exploded against him. He immediately coughed up a mouthful of blood and was sent flying at an astonishing speed, disappearing from sight within moments.

Despite Saitama's defense being on par with his attack power, he had absolutely no resistance against Ophis's strike.

This was even after Ophis had held back; otherwise, that punch might have reduced Saitama to mere fragments.

"Saitama-sensei..." Genos stood frozen, staring in shock at the spot where Saitama had vanished.

Without hesitation, he leaped off the rooftop, rushing in the direction where Saitama had been blasted away.

However, compared to Saitama's flying speed, Genos was far too slow. Catching up was an almost impossible task.

Having completed her task, Ophis ignored the stunned gazes of the gathered S-Class heroes and returned directly to Eriri's side.

"I have defeated him. I want my reward," Ophis said in a soft, expectant voice, snuggling against Eriri's arm.

Hearing Ophis's words, Eriri lifted her up and placed her on her lap. Then, in front of everyone, she leaned down and planted a soft kiss on Ophis's moist, tender lips.

"Good girl, here's your reward—a kiss," Eriri said with a smile.

Ophis did not show any particular reaction to Eriri's sudden kiss. After all, she had long since gotten used to it.

However, she was quite satisfied with the reward. With Eriri's love and attention, she lacked nothing, and her strength had been steadily growing.

What she desired most was simply to stay close and stick to Eriri.

Even though Ophis was satisfied with the kiss, it clearly wasn't enough for her.

She stretched out her hands and pressed them gently against Eriri's cheeks, then tilted her head up and leaned in again.

What followed was was a deep, lingering French kiss that lasted several minutes.

By the time Ophis returned to her seat beside Eriri, several minutes had passed. Her legs swung gently, and a faint smile graced her face, indicating her very satisfied mood.

Not far away, Bang, Atomic Samurai, and the other S-Class heroes had strange expressions on their faces, but their gaze had no effect on Eriri and Ophis.

Meanwhile, the prisoner in the revealing outfit, Puri-Puri Prisoner, was gazing at them with sparkling eyes—the look of someone who had found a kindred spirit.

Bang, who wished for Saitama to inherit his Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist, had grown quite fond of Saitama in their short time together. He was genuinely concerned about Saitama's well-being.

He wanted to ask Ophis about Saitama's condition, but the scene just now made it difficult for him to interrupt.

After Eriri and Ophis finished their kiss, Bang didn't hesitate any longer and stepped forward, walking towards Eriri and the others.

Atomic Samurai was slightly stunned by Bang's actions. After a brief moment of thought, he decided to follow him.

Upon reaching Eriri and the others, Bang first bowed respectfully to Eriri.

Then, with a face full of gratitude, he said, "Hello, I am Bang, the third-ranked S-Class hero, known as Silver Fang. I have come here mainly to express my thanks for your efforts in saving City A. Without you, it would still be in ruins."

"Restoring City A was something I promised Fubuki, so there's no need to thank me," Eriri waved her hand dismissively, her expression indifferent.

She had no interest in such empty gratitude, so Bang's thanks meant nothing to her.

Having lived for so many years, Bang could discern certain things from people's expressions, and he quickly realized that Eriri genuinely didn't care about his gratitude.

Thus, he didn't dwell on the matter any further.

Instead, he turned his gaze to Ophis, who was sitting beside Eriri, and put on a kind smile, the kind he usually showed when talking to children.

"I have something I'd like to ask. Would you be willing to answer an old man's question, young lady?"

"Mm, ask away. I permit it," Ophis nodded, feeling quite content at the moment and not minding answering a few questions.

Bang nodded and slowly asked the question that had been weighing on his mind.

"That young man who fought you earlier—will he be in any danger?"

Typically, when two fighters have a vast power gap, the stronger one would have a clear understanding of the damage they could inflict on the weaker opponent. This was why Bang hoped to learn about Saitama's condition from Ophis.

"Don't worry, I didn't use my full strength in that punch. He won't die," Ophis replied calmly.

Since Eriri held no ill intentions toward Saitama, she naturally wouldn't let Ophis kill him just like that.

"That's a relief," Bang sighed in relief upon hearing this. "Thank you for holding back, young lady."

Ophis paid no further attention to Bang, and as for the way he addressed her, she cared even less.

As the Infinite Dragon God who had no concept of lifespan, Ophis wasn't like ordinary girls who were sensitive about their age. She neither minded being called old nor young.

However, while Saitama wouldn't face life-threatening danger, he was certainly severely injured. He had probably crash-landed somewhere by now, unconscious.

There was no need to worry about him being killed by any monsters, though. With his physical defense, aside from Eriri and a few others, no one on Earth could pose a real threat to him.

Perhaps once Saitama recovered from his injuries, he might even break through to Level 7.

With the problem of Boros resolved, Eriri and the others no longer intended to stay at the Hero Association headquarters.

However, instead of leaving the One Punch Man world immediately, Eriri decided to travel around with Fubuki and explore the world for a bit.

Tatsumaki, on the other hand, was too stimulated by Fubuki's overwhelming display of power and resolved to devote herself to training and enhancing her psychic abilities. Therefore, she did not accompany Eriri and the others.

Time passed quickly, and in a single day, they enjoyed their travels. It wasn't until the next evening, right before dinner, that Eriri took Ophis and Scarlet back to the Saekano world.

...

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was already late July.

During the past half month, nothing particularly significant had happened in the chat group. Eriri had remained in the Saekano world, without visiting other members' worlds or exploring new ones randomly.

During this time, Yumenosaki Academy's psychic ability course had achieved remarkable results.

Most students who had awakened their abilities saw an increase of two minor stages in their strength, and a few exceptional students even advanced three stages, progressing from LV.2 to LV.5.

LV.5 was already a considerable level of power, enough to be considered a small powerhouse on a global scale.

Of course, this global scale did not include the Sawamura family.

Due to the outstanding results of Yumenosaki Academy's psychic ability course, various countries began to follow suit, resulting in similar courses sprouting up in numerous prestigious schools.

However, other schools lacked an LV.10 powerhouse as an instructor, making it impossible for them to compete with Yumenosaki Academy.

Another noteworthy development was the release of Lala's new version of Sword Art Online, which, as predicted, had fully become a second world.

The currency ratio between the game world and the real world was set at 1:1, with identical prices across both worlds. Money earned in the game could be used in the real world, and vice versa, eliminating the need for currency exchange.

Many people had even begun treating the game world as their primary world, spending 24 hours a day in it, except for meals. Some even slept in houses they purchased within the game world.

As long as they entered a sleep state, their mental recovery was the same in both worlds.

Each person's game character was unique, with no possibility of creating alternate accounts.

Moreover, one's gender and appearance in the game were identical to their real-world selves, which meant that interpersonal relationships in the game world closely mirrored those in reality.

Aside from these matters unrelated to Eriri, there were also events directly involving her.

The Bible Loli Goddess had finally finished dealing with the aftermath of the Heaven Realm in the High School DxD world and made new arrangements for Heaven. With Eriri's assistance, she returned to the Saekano world.

Additionally, one of the Four Great Seraphs, Gabriel, followed her to the Saekano world to serve by her side.

However, the most important event that took place in late July was the official start of summer vacation for Eriri and the others.

Though, for Eriri, whether it was vacation or not didn't make much difference.

She planned to take her family on a trip to the One Piece world for the summer, sailing across the world in a ship—a thrilling and fun adventure.

Elaina had already arrived in the Saekano world a few days prior, eagerly waiting to depart with Eriri to the One Piece world.

In addition to Elaina, the playful Milim insisted on joining the trip as well, adding another member to their traveling group.

However, with Yumenosaki High School's summer vacation lasting only one month, a complete voyage around the One Piece world within that timeframe was clearly impossible.

Therefore, Eriri planned to adjust the time flow in the Saekano world once they arrived in the One Piece world. She intended to set it so that no matter when they returned, it would always be the last day of summer vacation.

She wasn't planning to pause time entirely, as that felt too lacking in ceremony. Since it was a summer vacation trip, it should be spent experiencing the full summer in the One Piece world.

After making all the necessary preparations, Eriri opened a massive portal leading to the One Piece world.

Under Eriri's lead, everyone in the villa stepped through the portal.

Once the portal closed, the previously lively villa fell into silence.

...

One Piece World

The moment Eriri emerged from the portal, she instantly scanned the entire One Piece world, quickly gaining an understanding of many things.

They were currently on a small, uninhabited island, provided by Little Skirt at Eriri's request. It was located on the edge of the East Blue.

The current timeline was June of the year 1520 in the Sea Circle Calendar. In the original story, Luffy had already set sail for over a month, and most of his early crew members had already been gathered.

Meanwhile, Ace was in pursuit of Blackbeard.

At this rate, it wouldn't be long before Ace would be captured by Blackbeard and handed over to the Navy, leading to the Summit War of Marineford.

Upon learning this, Eriri was quite pleased—she definitely didn't want to miss such a grand event. She planned to take everyone to Marineford when the war erupted to watch the spectacle unfold.

Her goal wasn't to save Ace or anything of the sort; she was simply interested in being a spectator. Whether Ace and Whitebeard lived or died had nothing to do with her.

In fact, if anyone from the Whitebeard Pirates provoked them, Eriri might even lend a hand to the Navy.

Conversely, if the Navy got on their bad side, she wouldn't hesitate to support the pirates.

However, the Navy would have to hope that Eriri and her group didn't encounter any Celestial Dragons before the war. Otherwise, whether the Navy would even exist by the time the war started would be uncertain.

Unless, of course, the Navy decided to ignore the Celestial Dragons' fate—which was highly unlikely.

It had been over two months since Doflamingo's death, yet the Donquixote Family in Dressrosa had not fallen apart.

This was because they were still unaware that Doflamingo had died in another world.

Although they possessed his Vivre Card, when Doflamingo left the One Piece world and traveled to the Campione world, his connection to the Vivre Card was severed.

Doflamingo had never told his family about the Villains Chat Group. Additionally, he often disappeared from Dressrosa for periods of time.

Thus, his officers assumed that he had left for some business, as he had done many times before—only this time, he had been gone for a longer duration.

They had never even considered the possibility that Doflamingo could be dead.
