Chaos and Order - A Multiverse Fanfic

Observation… Haki…

The words thundered in Kai's mind. What does he mean by Observation Haki? Didn't… Didn't Meg tell me that even with my Instincts, achieving Observation Haki below the 2nd Threshold is absolutely impossible?

1st Threshold meant 20 points in each Attribute and 2nd Threshold meant 50 points in each Attribute.

Meg had told Kai that Perception wouldn't manifest as Haki under the 2nd Threshold and it's an absolute limit that could never be crossed.

That's why, no matter how much pride Kai took in his Instincts, he never thought of it as another form of Observation Haki.

A great upheaval was going on inside Kai's heart, his thoughts racing to find an explanation for all this.

Shadow Origin's words had changed everything for Kai.

"Let's continue," the old man said, breaking the odd silence. "I am Ravana, Viceroy of the Queen of the Pink Castle. If you agree to assist Her Majesty in clearing her Ascension Mission, then the Queen promises to assist you in obtaining your Extremities on the 5th Set."

All 18th-floor Contestants raised their eyebrows.

Kai still had to come out of the shock, the sea of yellow mist churning inside his consciousness.

"Extremities?" he blurted inadvertently.

Ravana was over 8 ft tall old man, his long white beard cascading down his chest.

His eyes remained shut and his expression was one of gentle serenity.

However, there was something hidden about Ravana, something vicious lurking just beneath the surface.

Despite his advanced age and peaceful appearance, it was clear that he was a powerful and dangerous individual, not to be underestimated.

One could sense the raw strength and energy emanating from him as if he could unleash it at any moment.

This was a being that commanded respect and fear in equal measure.

"Extremities are the Peak Powers of Random Worlds that can be combined using a manifestation of Perception as a primer," he told Kai, the corners of his lips arching up. "That's the condition to become a King, kid. That's what separates us from the Kings we serve. Or the Queen, in this old man's case."

Now Kai could comprehend the reason for the raised eyebrows.

The Queen of Pink Castle wasn't just assisting him.

She had just offered Kai a throne. The Throne.

"Of course," Ravana added, "it would all become invalid if you couldn't even reach the 5th Set, no matter how unlikely."

Kai's heart palpated.

From the looks of everyone and the gravity of Ravana's words, he could tell that obtaining these Extremities was no simple task.

Not even for someone who… had Observation Haki.

Yet, the auction had just started.

Kai's eyes landed on the Golden Grand Chair to Ravana's left.

He was a lean, short male, blending seamlessly into the surrounding space.

Though he was of small stature, he gave off an impression of being larger than life, as if he could melt into the surroundings at any moment.

He carried himself with a wild air, and he had a carefree attitude that looked both alluring and mysterious.

There was something about him that Kai failed to pin down, a sense that this Contestant was always one step ahead, always one step beyond his understanding.

"I am Black Mountain," the man with short, spiky hair introduced himself, his voice thick, "Viceroy of the King of Gold Castle.

"If you agree to assist His Majesty in clearing his Ascension Mission, then the King promises you the legacies of Roronoa Zoro and Gol D. Roger.

"You are a swordsman, right? What's the point of getting assistance for Extremities, when you can obtain them by yourself? Not only that, but you can also select a Devil Fruit of your choice if you wish so."

"That's too much," Ravana frowned. "The Kings had agreed upon the offers among themselves. There was no mention of Devil Fruit."

"So?" Black Mountain yawned casually. "Can't I add a gift?"

"If it's a gift," Shadow Origin cut in, "then why not give it to him now, huh?"

Black Mountain's lips twitched. "Don't have it with me…"

Kai knew not what to say.

These were the 18th-floor Contestants he was looking so much forward to meeting?

Still, what Black Mountain offered resonated with his Demonic Attitude.

If there was a Power, then Kai preferred obtaining it by himself, rather than with others' assistance.

"Ara-Ara!" Aphrodite giggled. "You can settle it later. Let me state my offer."

It's been 5 months since Kai had enslaved Red Sun and Moraine.

They knew little about the Kings either, but Red Sun had told him that the King of the Red Castle was the undisputed, strongest Contestant below the 7th Set.

The Red God of Shinobi!

That's why when he had first seen Aphrodite seated on the Red Grand Chair, he hadn't associated the colors of chairs with the castles of Kings, for the Red King, by name, was a male.

Now, however, Kai knew who Aphrodite was.

He expected something grand from her.

Grander than all that had been offered to him, and that remained to be offered.

Kai looked at the Contestant seated in the middle of the group, right in front of him.

Aphrodite was an absolute vision of beauty, her curves and lines enough to make a man lose his breath.

Her full breasts, ample and round, were a sight to behold, they seemed to strain against the fabric of her clothes, begging to be touched.

Her lips were plump and soft, inviting a kiss with every word she spoke.

Her pearl-like teeth gleamed in the light, adding to her alluring smile. And her eyes, they were like pools of liquid gold, mesmerizing and captivating.

Her body was a work of art, every inch of it crafted with precision and perfection.

Kai couldn't help but feel a pull towards her, he believed that if it wasn't for the Systems protecting him, one word from Aphrodite could push him to the edge of death.

It was then words echoed in the Grand Hall that shocked the living breath out of all.

Aphrodite seductively nibbled on her fingertip, her cheeks flushing a deep red. "His Majesty offers… mmm… He offers... Ara! Well, he offers... me."

The room fell into a tense silence and then all hell broke loose.

"Impossible!" Ravana exclaimed, his eyes wide with shock.

"Outrageous!" Black Mountain jumped out of his chair in disbelief.

Jade Beauty's face paled and Shadow Origin's pupils trembled with surprise.

Everyone except Aphrodite, who was biting her lips, turned to look at Kai.

Kai's breath quickened, his tongue running across his lips.

The offer was incredibly tempting… even for him.
