The Strongest Eriri in History

[Ruri Gokou (Level 6, Stage 2): I see, no wonder pirates are the main focus. A world like that sounds perfect for pirate development.]

[Ruri Gokou (Level 6, Stage 2): Since pirates are the main characters, does that mean they are just a title or perhaps a profession related to maritime transport? Or are they really the kind of pirates I imagine—pillaging, plundering, and committing all sorts of crimes?]

[Eriri (Level 8, Stage 9): No, pirates are pirates. It's the same in every world—pirates are synonymous with evil.]

[Kaede Honjou (Level 3, Stage 5): Huh? Then why would pirates be the protagonists? Is it a story about villains?]

[Eriri (Level 8, Stage 9): Let me briefly explain One Piece's world. The main factions are pirates, the navy, the World Government, and the Revolutionary Army.]

[Eriri (Level 8, Stage 9): The navy serves under the World Government, mainly responsible for eliminating pirates and anyone who opposes the World Government. Meanwhile, the Revolutionary Army seeks to overthrow the government.]

[Kaguya Shinomiya (Level 6, Stage 1): Why overthrow the World Government? Is their rule particularly cruel?]

[Eriri (Level 8, Stage 9): Exactly. Speaking of the World Government, you can't ignore a unique group in One Piece—the Celestial Dragons. They consider themselves gods' descendants, wearing bubble headgear because they believe themselves too noble to breathe the same air as commoners. They also enslave people at will.]

[Chika Fujiwara (Level 6, Stage 2): Ugh, more slavery? These Celestial Dragons sound horrible!]

[Arifureta (Level 6, Stage 4 / Group Leader): That's right, almost all Celestial Dragons in One Piece are scum.]

[Elaina (Level 6, Stage 3): Wow, that world actually sounds interesting!]

[Eriri (Level 8, Stage 9): Want to visit?]

[Elaina (Level 6, Stage 3): Of course! A trip to that world sounds amazing. But since Cross-Boundary Talisman only allow travel to worlds where members exist, and no one from One Piece is in our group... Eriri, take me with you!]

[Eriri (Level 8, Stage 9): Sure, I was planning to visit the One Piece world in a few days anyway. Just come to my place when you're ready.]

[Elaina (Level 6, Stage 3): Awesome! It's a deal, then.]

One Punch Man World – Blizzard Group's New Headquarters

In the newly established headquarters of the Blizzard Group, Fubuki, wearing her signature green dress, sat in the lounge on the second floor, while her subordinate, Lily, stood attentively behind her.

Fubuki's eyes gleamed with anticipation. Not long ago, Eriri had agreed to visit and watch the upcoming battle between Saitama and Boros.

With her knowledge of the future from the memory projections, Fubuki knew the Dark Matter Thieves could descend upon Earth at any moment. Following Shibabawa's death and her ominous prophecy, the Hero Association had begun summoning all S-Class heroes.

Due to Fubuki's outstanding recent achievements in hunting down numerous powerful monsters, she had been officially promoted to an S-Class hero, now ranked eighth.

So, she was among those summoned.

However, to wait for Eriri's arrival, she did not rush to the Hero Association headquarters. After all, there was still about an hour left before the meeting started.

Although the Blizzard Group's location was quite far from the Hero Association headquarters, with her flying speed, it would take only a few minutes to get there. Moreover, with Eriri around, distance was hardly an issue.

More than half an hour later, a dimensional portal appeared in front of her, and three figures—one tall and two small—stepped out. It was none other than Eriri, holding the hands of Ophis and Scarlet.

Seeing the trio, Fubuki quickly stood up from the sofa, wearing a bright smile as she stepped forward to greet them.

"Welcome to the Blizzard Group."

Lily, who was standing behind the sofa, also respectfully bowed and said, "Welcome, Lady Eriri."

Meeting Eriri again filled Lily's heart with excitement.

"It's been a while," Eriri replied with a smile, nodding at both of them. Meanwhile, Ophis and Scarlet showed no reaction at all, clearly uninterested in the two before them.

Although Eriri and Fubuki had chatted often in the group, the last time they had met in person was during the martial arts tournament, which was already more than half a month ago.

Eriri momentarily spread her consciousness across the entire Earth, instantly scanning every hidden presence. No monster could escape her perception—whether it was their location or the Monster Association lurking underground in City Z.

If she wanted, she could erase all the monsters on this planet in the blink of an eye.

However, she had no intention of doing so. After all, with Fubuki around, dealing with the monsters was only a matter of time.

Apart from the monsters, Eriri also "saw" the Hero Association headquarters in City A, where all the S-Class heroes had already gathered—along with a certain conspicuous bald head.

Yet, she did not see Boros's spaceship.

Shifting her focus beyond Earth, Eriri soon detected a colossal spaceship rapidly approaching the planet from outer space. It was the very same bizarre-looking spaceship depicted in the original story.

Judging by its speed, Eriri estimated it would arrive on Earth in approximately twenty minutes.

Beyond that, she also discovered a mysterious entity lurking on the Moon, which she assumed to be the "God" mentioned in the original manga.

Just like with the Monster Association, Eriri decided not to interfere with this so-called "God" unless it provoked her.

Retracting her consciousness, Eriri turned to Fubuki and said, "Let's head to the Hero Association headquarters in City A and meet Tatsumaki first."

"Alright," Fubuki nodded.

Without further ado, Eriri held onto Ophis and Scarlet, enveloped Fubuki in her energy, and instantly teleported them away from the Blizzard Group headquarters—leaving Lily standing there in a daze.

As the automatic doors of the conference room slid open, Eriri and her companions walked in without hesitation.

Their sudden appearance immediately drew the attention of everyone present. Most of the S-Class heroes, save for Drive Knight, Pig God, Watchdog Man, and the duo of Saitama and Genos, couldn't help but have their eyes light up at the sight of Eriri.

Even the openly flamboyant Puri-Puri Prisoner was visibly impressed by her stunning appearance.

Tatsumaki, sitting at the table, had a flicker of surprise cross her face before she quickly turned away, letting out a soft "hmph" in her usual tsundere fashion.

No one said a word; all eyes followed as Fubuki and Eriri, holding Ophis and Scarlet by the hands, made their way to the vacant seats near Tatsumaki.

Each S-Class hero had a designated seat, and even if absent, their spot remained reserved. Fubuki took her seat between King and Zombieman, the place specifically prepared for her.

Meanwhile, Eriri, without a hint of hesitation, sat down in the seat meant for Blast—right beside Tatsumaki. She comfortably settled in, pulling Ophis and Scarlet onto her lap, wrapping her arms around them in a loving embrace.

This action immediately drew subtle yet curious glances from the gathered heroes. Some even speculated if this girl was actually the mysterious "Blast" in disguise. After all, none of them truly knew Blast's identity, and the idea of the top-ranked hero being an otherworldly beautiful girl wasn't entirely implausible.

However, their speculation was quickly shattered by Tatsumaki's sharp retort.

"Hey! Eriri, you can't sit there!" Tatsumaki crossed her arms, her face filled with irritation.

"Why not?" Eriri replied playfully, an amused smile gracing her lips.

"Because this is Blast's seat! No one else is allowed to sit here!" Tatsumaki's frown deepened.

To her, the name "Blast" held immense significance. When she was a child, at her lowest and most desperate moment, it was Blast who had saved her. Ever since then, she had idolized him. It was because of him that she became a hero in the first place.

Even though it had been over a decade since she last saw Blast, Tatsumaki still held onto the hope that he would return someday.

"And what if I just want to sit here?" Eriri replied nonchalantly, her smile never fading. She then released her hold on Ophis and reached out with one hand, placing it on Tatsumaki's head and gently ruffling her hair.

"Hey, what are you doing? Let go of me!" Tatsumaki protested, her face turning red with embarrassment.

The proud esper, known for her fiery temper and domineering attitude, had never been treated this way before. She instinctively wanted to retaliate but held back. She was well aware that she couldn't even defeat her younger sister anymore, let alone someone as overwhelmingly powerful as Eriri.

Still, she attempted to push Eriri's hand away with her own, but to her dismay, she found herself completely unable to move.

To the others in the room, however, the scene looked entirely different. From their perspective, Tatsumaki appeared to be reluctantly enjoying the "head pat" while pretending to protest.

This unexpected sight left the gathered heroes in awe and bewilderment, their curiosity about Eriri's identity only growing stronger by the second.

They all knew how powerful Tatsumaki was—ranked second among S-Class heroes, her strength was unquestionable.

But now, seeing her sitting "obediently" beside Eriri, the implications were clear—Eriri's power far surpassed Tatsumaki's.

Sitting to Tatsumaki's right, an elderly man with white hair glanced at Eriri and the two girls on her lap, then asked, "Tatsumaki, do you know these three young ladies?"

This elderly man was none other than Silver Fang, real name Bang, the third-ranked S-Class hero and a grandmaster of the martial art "Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist."

"Hmph, I don't know them," Tatsumaki replied with a displeased look on her face.

"You don't need to worry about me," Eriri spoke casually, withdrawing her right hand from Tatsumaki's head. "We're just here as observers today."

At the same time, she lifted the restriction she had placed on Tatsumaki's movements, allowing her to regain full control of her body.

Even though she was free now, Tatsumaki didn't lash out at Eriri. After all, Eriri had already let go of her, and Tatsumaki was willing to let the matter slide—she wasn't that petty.

Moreover, she no longer insisted that Eriri vacate the seat; the strength gap between them was now crystal clear to her.

Receiving this answer, Bang decided to drop the matter and refrained from asking further questions. The other S-Class heroes also chose to do the same.

None of them suspected Eriri of having any ulterior motives for being in the meeting room. She had arrived with the newly appointed S-Class hero, Hellish Blizzard, and appeared to be familiar with Tatsumaki.

After teasing Tatsumaki and making her position clear, Eriri shifted her attention to the man sitting on her left—Saitama.

Ever since he had broken his limiter, Saitama had become overwhelmingly powerful, but at the same time, he had gradually lost most of his emotions.

Even now, facing Eriri, he didn't exhibit any particular reaction.

Of course, if Eriri were to unleash her full charm, even Saitama wouldn't be immune—he would become completely enamored, driven to madness, and eventually perish. His emotional indifference wouldn't make a difference in the face of Eriri's overwhelming allure.

Eriri's charm had long transcended mere physical beauty; it had become a fundamental rule of reality. Under the influence of her charm, virtually no living being could resist.

Eriri's seat was positioned at the far left of the rectangular table, close to the narrower end.

Next to Saitama sat Genos, sitting upright with his usual mechanical precision.

Genos held immense respect for his overwhelmingly strong teacher, almost to the point of reverence.

Reality, however, differed from manga in several ways, with the most noticeable being appearances.

Saitama's appearance was quite similar to how he was depicted in the original series, as if a 2D character had been seamlessly transformed into 3D. However, unlike in the manga, his face didn't carry the same silly expressions. Instead, he simply gazed into the distance with a blank, emotionless stare.
