PIG V2 Ch. 39

"Why are you dragging me to a headquarters meeting?" Marco stared at the Gotham Central parking lot ahead, or more accurately, at the endless line of cars blocking access to it. His left hand hung out the window, drumming against the door. "I'm not good at this political bullshit."

"Don't sell yourself short." Bob rolled his window down ha...

PIG V2 Ch. 38

The air after the rain was damp and cold, but rare sunlight pierced through the clouds and fell on the deep blue uniforms of officers standing in formation in the backyard of the East End Precinct. Every off-duty cop was present. Even Bob had changed into a crisply pressed formal uniform.

At the center, a coffin fashioned from a polished h...

"Alfred. Vehicle damage assessment."

Batman's voice was calm, too calm for someone who'd just been thrown through the air in an armored car.

"The propulsion system remains functional, sir. However, you'll need to flip the vehicle upright first."

"No time. Detaching grapnel projector in five seconds."

SNAP.

MCIM Ch. 144

Zod hadn't removed his battle suit or helmet. He hadn't been exposed to Earth's sun or atmosphere at all. Without those power sources, his combat strength was average.

WHAM.

He charged forward. Clark's fist caught him in the chest, and Zod flew backward. He struggled to his feet, armor dented and cracking. He charged again.<...

OP: AMP Ch. 215

Most of the Straw Hats chose to eat more Devil Fruits.

Shira was first up. After consuming two additional fruits, she'd gained the ability to create a wider variety of mushrooms, smaller spores for airborne attacks, massive specimens for defense, and everything in between. More importantly, she could now transform into her element rather t...

MoP: Ch. 178

---Third POV---

The affairs in Nary Town couldn't be resolved in a single day. After confirming that the situation in the town was under good control, Viktor took a bunch of newly added tasks and headed back first. He planned to wait until all the loose ends were cleaned up and handed over properly, and a new order was established. Only th...

HSU: Ch. 343

Kaguya felt that, as the base camp of those rebellious children, Konoha had quite a few praiseworthy qualities. The people of this world were truly quite talented when it came to food. For just a fleeting moment, she thought, perhaps for the first time, that turning humans into White Zetsu might be a bit of a waste.

And then she saw Hiashi...

GSiN: Ch. 200

It wasn't until early the next morning that the duel between Obito and A finally came to an end. Not far away, several playing cards lay scattered messily across the ground.

The drowsy Kura, Darui, and C, leaning against each other and half asleep, were suddenly roused by a hearty, unrestrained laugh.

"HAHAHAHAHA!"

Among the th...

Arcane: TTB: Ch. 152

"So what's my mission?" Katarina said, crossing her arms after reading through the target dossier.

She was still a bit mad about being forced into an assistant role. The whole situation grated on her pride, and she couldn't help the edge of challenge in her voice.

Her impulsive, competitive temperament really wasn't suited for assass...

NYP Ch. 106

Kenji stepped forward and formed hand seals with both hands. Chakra flowed through the patterns as he activated a suppression seal, locking down Orochimaru's chakra network. The Sannin's body went limp.

"Summoning Technique!"

The Magnet Release puppet appeared beside him in a puff of smoke. Without needing verbal instruction, it bent...

NYP Ch. 105

The scene inside the room was something out of a nightmare.

Harsh lighting illuminated a blood-stained operating table at the center of the chamber. A corpse lay on top of it, pale and waxy, chest cavity opened to expose organs that glistened wetly under the lights. The body had been dead for hours at least, maybe days. Hard to tell with t...

NYP Ch. 104

"By the way, Minato," Kenji said. "Do you have any guesses about the identity of that masked man from the attack? Anything at all?"

He wanted to know if Minato had considered the possibility of Obito. Even just a suspicion would be something to work with.

Minato's expression darkened immediately. He shook his head slowly.

"Not ...

NYP Ch. 103

"Alright, alright, calm down."

Minato reached over and gently placed a hand on Kushina's arm. "Mizuki's about to arrive in Konoha. I promise you, she won't be treated the way she was in Kusa. I'll make sure of it."

Kushina took a deep breath, forcing herself to relax. The chakra flare subsided and Naruto's crying quieted to soft whim...

NYP Ch. 102

After a while, Mizuki's voice came from inside the room.

"It's done."

The Transparent Release puppet turned around. Karin was asleep in her mother's arms now, her face flushed pink and peaceful. Mizuki's expression had softened considerably as well. When she looked at the puppet, there was gratitude in her eyes that hadn't been there...

MPCW Ch. 25

The experience rush from killing the wraith hit Alexei like a dopamine hammer. His level counter, visible only to him in the corner of his vision, jumped from 12 to 31 in one massive surge.

That guy was worth nineteen levels? he thought, staring at the number.

Then reality set in: he had a crafting table sitting on the groun...

MPCW Ch. 24

Night had fallen by the time they finally approached their destination. Through the thin mist rising around them, Alexei saw his first major city since arriving in this world. And "major" didn't quite capture it.

The city below was massive, an ocean of lights stretching to the horizon in every direction. Not the multicolored neon of modern...

MPCW Ch. 23

Five days.

Five solid days of sitting on a flying sword, watching forests and plains scroll by underneath like the world's slowest loading screen. They'd finally left the Demon Beast Forest behind. Now they were flying over what Qingxue called "civilized territory," heading full-speed toward the sect.

Alexei leaned slightly to the si...

MPCW Ch. 22

High above the endless forest canopy, two people and one mushroom cow flew across the sky.

After Qingxue's persistent, bordering on relentless, arguments about the "priceless value of soul-healing milk" and "irreplaceable spiritual beast resources," Alexei had caved and brought Bessie along. The mooshroom now trailed ten meters behind the ...

PIG V2 Ch. 36

"OPEN FIRE! ALL UNITS, OPEN FIRE! TARGET THE HOSTILES!"

Gordon's voice came over the radio.

Within seconds, every gun still operational in the plaza swiveled toward the two giants lumbering through the smoke. GCPD officers, Falcone's enforcers, and even some of Black Mask's thugs opened up with everything they had.

Dozens of au...

PIG V2 Ch. 35

All hell broke loose inside Wayne Tower.

Another window exploded outward. Crystal shards caught the firelight from below as they tumbled through the darkness. A body slumped against the window frame, head lolling at an unnatural angle, then slid backward into the darkness of the tower.

More windows shattered in rapid succession.

PIG V2 Ch. 34

Black Mask was a lunatic, there was no question about that. But he wasn't stupid. After his dramatic entrance, after making sure every camera and cop got a good look at his convoy rolling in, he immediately switched gears. The convoy split into three separate columns.

Marco watched it happen from behind the concrete pedestal, water drippin...

PIG V2 Ch. 33

"Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown."
- William Shakespeare, Henry IV, Part 2

Dark clouds gathered overhead, and within minutes, rain began to fall. The rain came down in cold, gray sheets, soaking everything.

Marco cracked the E350's window open about three centimeters. "I hate Gotham's weather. Open the window and everythin...

PIG V2 Ch. 32

The E350 rolled to a stop at the edge of Diamond Plaza, and Marco jumped out. He tilted his head back and looked up at Wayne Tower. The thing was massive. The base was all heavy stone and Art Deco flourishes. But as it rose, the architecture got more modern. Glass and steel replaced ornate stonework until the whole structure tapered into a needl...

PIG V2 Ch. 31

Marco really, really hated this kind of work. He walked to the doorway of the bullpen and clapped his hands twice. The sound cut through the morning chatter, and every head in the room turned toward him.

"Listen up," he said, raising his voice just enough to carry. "I just got word from Central. They're requesting support units for tonight...

PIG V2 Ch. 30

On the ride back to the precinct, Marco couldn't stop glancing at Edward and Otis in the rearview mirror. Both of them looked increasingly uncomfortable under his gaze, exchanging confused looks but saying nothing.

"Drop me off here," he said as they approached his apartment building.

Darnell pulled the patrol car to the curb. "You g...

OP: AMP Ch. 214

Marcus' completely inhumane method of forcing the Shichiseiken to taste the Devil Fruit only earned him a resentful glare from the sword's manifestation.

"Ahem... so, how is it?" Marcus asked, trying to sound innocent.

In her goat form, the Shichiseiken stuck out her tongue and licked it, as if checking for lingering traces of that a...

OP: AMP Ch. 213

The figure that emerged stood three meters tall with the build of a heavyweight champion. His proportions were textbook perfect, muscles defined but not bulky, lean but clearly powerful. The kind of physique that looked deceptively slim when clothed but impressively built when bare.

Usopp barely registered any of that. He was too busy star...

OP: AMP Ch. 212

From the moment Goliath had been created until now, he'd never received proper nutrition. His entire existence had been sustained by consuming iron ingots through the Munch-Munch Fruit's power, like someone surviving on vitamin supplements alone without ever eating real food. It gave him this perpetually malnourished quality, even with his impos...

OP: AMP Ch. 211

Usopp finally couldn't hold on anymore. His knees buckled, and he collapsed as sweat poured from every inch of his body like he'd been dunked in a river. Veins bulged across his skin, looking like they were about to burst through the surface. Every blood vessel in his body seemed to have turned varicose, twisted and swollen under the strain. The...

MCIM Ch. 143

Well, that confirms it. Infinity Stones are completely useless in DC.

Mario tossed the collection of cosmic artifacts to Thanos like they were worthless poker chips. The Mad Titan caught them with a bemused expression.

Figures the Mother Box probably won't work in Marvel either. In the end, you've got to rely on your own...
