I, Kizaru, Joined the Chat Group Only After Becoming Invincible

"Huh…?" Borsalino froze.

Dimensional Chat Group?

Could it be that the golden finger he had been waiting for all these years had finally arrived?So he did have a cheat ability all along—it was just a few decades late?

Thinking back on all the effort he had put into becoming stronger, all the harsh realities he had faced time and time again, Borsalino couldn't help but feel a wave of frustration.

This was like showing up to an open-book test only to realize that everyone else had known about it in advance. And not just any test—this was the college entrance exam!

Borsalino's emotions were complicated. He recalled how reality had forced his hand, leaving him no choice but to become a laid-back, go-with-the-flow kind of guy.

That's right, this was the world's fault—not because he was naturally lazy!

With these mixed feelings, Borsalino chose to accept the invitation.

[Ding! Welcome, Borsalino, to the Dimensional Chat Group!]

Borsalino has joined the chat.

[Kobayashi: Welcome, welcome~ Ahh, a new member has joined the group.]

[Ai Haibara: A newbie? Judging by the name, he sounds like a foreigner. Hopefully, he's not from some weird world.]

[Orochimaru: A new world, huh? How intriguing.]

[Random Passerby Who Wants to Hug Luo Feng's Thigh: Holy crap! Kizaru?!]

[Kobayashi: Huh? Passerby-san, do you know the new guy?]

[Ai Haibara: Suspicious! Every time a new person joins, this guy recognizes them. And he even changed his name to keep people from knowing who he really is. Could he be some kind of mastermind?]

[Random Passerby Who Wants to Hug Luo Feng's Thigh: I swear I'm innocent! I'm just an ordinary transmigrator, no mastermind here! @Zhang Sanfeng, Grandmaster Zhang, back me up here!]

[Kobayashi: Now that I think about it, the six of us here—plus our new friend, Borsalino-san—seem to be from different worlds.]

[Zhang Sanfeng: Indeed, I arrived before Passerby-san, but I was not the first to join this chat group.]

[Orochimaru: The first member, and the one who speaks the least… That's quite suspicious, Jotaro-kun.]

[Jotaro Kujo: Enough already! Quit testing me with this nonsense!]

[Kobayashi: Passerby-san, since you recognized Borsalino-san, why don't you introduce him to the chat group?]

[Ai Haibara: Kobayashi, you really love playing mediator. Letting them argue might actually be more fun.]

[Zhang Sanfeng: Harmony is precious, and Kobayashi has grasped the essence of it well.]

[Random Passerby Who Wants to Hug Luo Feng's Thigh: Hmm… @Borsalino, Admiral Kizaru, can you see my messages?]

Borsalino, who had been silently observing the so-called Dimensional Chat Group, raised his head.

He glanced at Fleet Admiral Sengoku, who was still in the middle of a long speech, then considered how he could send a message. Before he could figure it out, the chat group automatically displayed what he was thinking.

[Borsalino: I can. Do you know me, little bro?]

[Random Passerby Who Wants to Hug Luo Feng's Thigh: Okay, let me confirm something real quick. What year is it in your world—no, wait, let's put it another way. Has Gol D. Roger been executed? Has the Summit War happened yet? Is the Fleet Admiral Sengoku or Akainu?]

[Borsalino: Roger was publicly executed years ago. The Summit War hasn't happened yet. Sengoku is still the Fleet Admiral, so naturally, Sakazuki hasn't taken over.]

A curious smile spread across Borsalino's face as he looked at the chat.He hadn't expected to meet a fellow transmigrator—even if they weren't from the same world.

Meanwhile, the Vice Admirals attending the meeting noticed Kizaru's sudden smile and instinctively tensed up.

Did Fleet Admiral Sengoku just say something coded?Was there some high-level agreement that had been reached?Otherwise, why would Admiral Kizaru suddenly smile? Was it the part about pirates in the New World becoming more active? Was the Navy planning a crackdown on them?

[Random Passerby Who Wants to Hug Luo Feng's Thigh: Holy crap! You're not actually Kizaru, are you? Wait—are you a transmigrator too?!]

[Borsalino: Transmigrator? Do you mean someone with foreknowledge? Speaking of which, there was a pirate who called himself that right before he died. He said a lot of weird things.]

[Random Passerby Who Wants to Hug Luo Feng's Thigh: Damn, some poor bastard actually got transmigrated just to die at your hands? That's some next-level bad luck!]

[Kobayashi: Sounds like Borsalino-san is quite an important figure. That guy who died… Was he someone you knew, Passerby-san?]

Kobayashi seemed to be trying to defuse the situation, probably worried a fight would break out.

Borsalino wasn't sure if it was the Kobayashi he was thinking of, but since he was currently playing the role of Admiral Kizaru, he couldn't just ask outright.

[Random Passerby Who Wants to Hug Luo Feng's Thigh: Nope, no relation at all. We were both transmigrators, but we had nothing to do with each other. I was just sighing over the fact that he probably didn't have a golden finger to help him out.]

Borsalino nodded in agreement.

If he hadn't transmigrated into a young Kizaru, he probably would've died somewhere in an unknown part of the sea by now.

[Kobayashi: Well, if that's the case, then it's fine. But we still don't know much about Borsalino-san. Passerby-san, can you introduce him to us? Oh, and as for me, I'm Kobayashi, just an ordinary programmer. My hobby? Cute maids! That's all!]

[Random Passerby Who Wants to Hug Luo Feng's Thigh: I can, but… Admiral Kizaru, you don't mind, do you? Hmm, do I need to introduce myself too? Well, I'm just a completely average transmigrator with no golden finger and no impressive background. My goal is to cling to Luo Feng, the protagonist of Swallowed Star!]

[Zhang Sanfeng: There is no need for self-deprecation, young friend. I am Zhang Sanfeng, the humble head of Wudang.]

Borsalino waited for the remaining three to introduce themselves, but they remained silent.

Well, considering their personalities, that wasn't surprising.

Still, it was amusing—everyone else was using their real names, while he was the only one hiding behind an alias.

[Borsalino: I don't mind. But when you said 'from different worlds,' what exactly did you mean?]

If he was going to roleplay as someone else, he had to do it thoroughly. Right now, it didn't seem like hiding his identity mattered much, but who knew? Maybe someday, he could give a certain scheming individual a big "surprise."

[Kobayashi: It's exactly what it sounds like! Everyone here seems to be from different worlds or even different time periods. Like @Zhang Sanfeng, he's from a few hundred years ago. I even looked him up online!]

[Random Passerby Who Wants to Hug Luo Feng's Thigh: No, no, no—totally different worlds! One of you is from a magic world, the other is from a martial arts world. There's no way you should be in the same place!]

[Kobayashi: But my world has no magic! Finding a dragon outside my doorstep would be like something out of a fairy tale!]

[Orochimaru: Heh. If you ever find a dragon, Kobayashi-kun, do let me know. I have quite the interest in unusual creatures.]
