Ibaraki-dōji wiped the wine stains from the corner of his mouth and laughed loudly, "My dear friend, you've recovered too! Now, as long as Mount Ōe 640 can descend, that will be the best thing!"
Shuten-dōji gazed into the distance and said, "This is a completely new world! I really want to know what this world is like."
Ibaraki-dōji said confidently, "This is a world filled with strong people, and the number of strong people is extremely large. Such a world is the best for us oni. It is the most suitable era for hunting, and it is a very exciting world!"
"Hahaha~~~"
Shuten-dōji laughed excitedly, "That's right! That's right! It's most interesting to live in such an exciting era! Defeating those guys one by one is just too exciting!"
Shuten-dōji and Ibaraki-dōji both wore excited expressions. They were both oni kings of Mount Ōe, and like all oni, they were also obsessed with battle, a common trait among oni that no one could change.
The two demon kings were no different. Shuten-dōji had changed a lot! His inner world had also changed tremendously. It's no exaggeration to say that Shuten-dōji was a very domineering person, and a demon king filled with arrogance. And now! He had finally arrived in a completely new world.
Shuten-dōji was eager to see what this new world was like; that was what excited him the most! After all, for the oni race, being trapped in one place was worse than death.
What the entire demon race looks forward to most is war after war, exciting battle after battle; that's what the entire demon race loves most!
The two exchanged a glance, and both ghost kings revealed confident smiles. This was the era they had been most looking forward to! A brand new era, a perfect era that was about to arrive.
"Hahaha~~~"
The two looked at each other and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Chapter 178: The Adorable Goldfish Princess
Seimei was unaware of the two demon kings' thoughts. Of course, even if he had known, he wouldn't have cared. For Seimei, anything outside of Wano Country was meaningless.
Qingming!!!
He was never the great Onmyoji who was willing to sacrifice everything for the world, nor was he the one who wanted to turn the world upside down and become a Black Seimei dominated by demons, nor was he the weak, otaku Seimei.
Quite the contrary!
Seimei is Kurozumi Seimei, a person who only values everything about Wano Country, the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons he summoned, treating them as family and Wano Country as his people. He is a completely new person who, although he inherited everything from them, is the real Seimei, the Seimei we know today.
This is the true nature of Seimei, and that's why! Seimei never thought about expanding Wano Country; it was a meaningless matter. Even if Wano Country were expanded, what difference would it make? All of this was inherently meaningless. To Seimei, all of this was utterly pointless and not worth considering at all.
Everything outside is meaningless to Seimei and to everyone in Wano Country. As for each member of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, all they need to do is follow Seimei's rules and not attack anyone within Wano Country. Everything else is meaningless.
Seimei never cared about these things; in fact, he never paid them any attention. And that's precisely why he remained indifferent to them all along.
……
"Qingming!"
"Qingming!"
A little girl, as cute as a goldfish, was laughing happily. With her adorable expression, she confidently declared, "Seimei! Aren't I the strongest?"
"Hehehe~~~"
Looking at the adorable little girl, Seimei said gently, "Princess Goldfish, if you want to become the strongest, then you must work even harder! Here, you won't experience any pain, but if you don't work hard enough, you won't be able to become stronger."
Goldfish!
Ah!
This is the second shikigami summoned by Granny Musashi's second Devil Fruit. Besides Shuten-dōji, she is the second shikigami. Although she is only an SSR-level shikigami, don't underestimate Kingyo-hime.
Actually!
Princess Goldfish is a yokai from the Arakawa River, considered by the Lord of Arakawa to be the next successor. This demonstrates that Princess Goldfish's talent is truly astonishing. Not only is she capable of transforming into an SP-level yokai, but her potential is terrifying; she can still grow even further. And this is the most fundamental core—Princess Goldfish's talent is simply too strong, so powerful as to be awe-inspiring.
It can be said that Princess Goldfish has the potential to become a Demon King, but! This potential is ultimately just potential. Even when Princess Goldfish transforms into an SP shikigami, she still hasn't truly grown up. She has only grown to a certain extent, but by then it's too late.
Arakawa no Nushi died in the war against Ōtakemaru, which was something that could not be helped! Unlike other places where yokai gather, there are many powerful yokai. For example, in addition to the two Oni Kings, Mount Ōe also has four Oni Kings led by Hoshiguma Doji. Mount Tengu is even more so, with eight Tengu! As for Mount Suzuka, it also has powerful yokai such as Suzuka Gozen, Ōtakemaru, and Uminari.
but!
Aside from the Lord of Arakawa, the other yokai in Arakawa are all weak and vulnerable creatures who have gathered there. They are a group of cute little yokai, very weak, living in Arakawa as its inhabitants. The Lord of Arakawa raised Princess Goldfish, hoping she would grow stronger, but unfortunately, the Lord of Arakawa died in battle. Although Princess Goldfish was forced to grow stronger due to grief and other reasons, her growth rate was still limited; she needed time to mature.
This is the most fundamental reason: a child's growth always takes time.
but!
That's all in the past. The Goldfish Princess is different now. She won't have to endure all that anymore. She just needs to grow up step by step in a lively and adorable way. For this lovely child, the Goldfish Princess, that's the most important thing. Growing up over time is the slowest way to grow. There's no need to rush or be anxious!
Hehehe~~｀ 〃~
Looking at the adorable Goldfish Princess, Seimei gently shook his head and said, "Goldfish Princess, if you want to become the strongest, you need to work hard yourself."
"Um?!"
Princess Goldfish tilted her head cutely, seemingly forgetting something, but then confidently declared, "Seimei! I will definitely become the strongest, hee hee hee~~~ Then I'll let you and Big Guy, Big Guy..."
Princess Goldfish fell silent at this point, as if she had thought of something, and said sadly, "Seimei! Big guy, will you never come back?"
Seimei crouched down and looked at Princess Goldfish gently, saying, "No! I have absorbed everything, and the Lord of Arakawa will also come here. It's just a matter of time. Princess Goldfish, believe in yourself. You will be a qualified Lord of Arakawa when he is no longer here, won't you?"
"That's right!"
"I will definitely be a worthy Lord of Arakawa!"
Princess Goldfish, the adorable little creature, nodded firmly, her eyes filled with unwavering determination. Seeing her resolve, Seimei gently patted her head and said softly, "So, don't give up, don't be nervous. Everything will come back to normal, it's just a matter of time. Don't worry!"
"Ok!"
Princess Goldfish nodded seriously and left the palace. In her words, if she worked hard to become stronger, she would let that big guy know when he reappeared that she had taken care of the entire Arakawa region while he was away.
"Princess Goldfish!"
"Ugh!"
"What a lovely child!"
Seimei sighed softly, then gently shook his head. This child was just too adorable. He didn't remember much about the past, but he remembered the final battle very clearly.
That battle included Tamamo-no-Mae, the Three Gods, Orochi, Shuten-dōji, Ibaraki-dōji, Suzuka Gozen, Ōtakemaru, Yama-kaze, Ichimokuren, and many others! All these demon kings participated in that battle, and Kingyo-hime, as the demon king of Arakawa, also participated in that battle. Even though she appeared very young, she still persevered with great effort.
Just like the attributes of Princess Goldfish.
Name: Princess Goldfish
Grade: SR (???)
Arakawa: Not unlocked
Awakening: Awakening
Breakthrough: ★★★★★★
Overbearing: Unawakened
……
Name: Shuten-dōji
Grade: SSR
Dajiang 852 Mountain: 1042 not unlocked 78
Awakening: Awakening
Breakthrough: ★★★★★★
Overbearing: Unawakened
This is the attribute panel of Princess Kingyo and Shuten-dōji. As the Oni King of Mount Ōe, Shuten-dōji has the ability to unlock Mount Ōe, which is only natural. However, Princess Kingyo can also unlock Arakawa, which proves that, in recognition, Princess Kingyo is also the Oni King of Arakawa.
"Perhaps this is the best recognition for this child! However..."
Seimei examined the Goldfish Princess's rank and found it somewhat absurd. This was why he had said the Goldfish Princess had limitless potential. The ranks of the other shikigami were very clear, but the Goldfish Princess's rank was extremely strange, appearing as something else entirely.
This means that while the current strength of the Goldfish Princess is that of an SR-level shikigami, it does not mean that her limit in the future will still be an SR-level shikigami, but rather that she can grow to a higher level.
"Well!"
"Let this child grow up on her own; that's a matter for the future."
Seimei gently shook his head. He shouldn't get involved in these things. That's something that Princess Goldfish should grow up in. If she wants to become stronger and work hard, then she needs to grow up and become the future Demon King of Arakawa.
Of course!
It's worth mentioning! The current gacha pool also includes oni from Mount Ooe and youkai from Arakawa. In terms of numbers? The number of oni from Mount Ooe is about 1000, which is really not many! After all, oni are a very strange group of creatures.
They can leave whenever they want, and Shuten-dōji won't stop them, because that's their freedom. As for Arakawa, it's different. There are nearly 10,000 demons in Arakawa. If we calculate that there are 100 demons for every 1 Devil Fruit, he would need 100 Devil Fruits to summon all of them.
Of course!
Thinking about it carefully, this is not strange at all. Arakawa has always been like this, hasn't it? Or rather, this is just Arakawa! When Arakawa was young, the Lord of Arakawa wore armor and fought across the seas, becoming friends with Ōtakemaru. As he grew older, he returned to his homeland and became the Lord of Arakawa, and even (the king) adopted all the little monsters.
These little monsters are part of the Arakawa River. They have become the people of the Arakawa River. The Lord of the Arakawa River has always protected these weak little monsters. They have no power and no strength. Even the Goldfish Princess was a weak little monster before she truly grew up.
"Hehehe~~~"
Seimei chuckled and shook his head, saying, "I must say! As expected of the Lord of Arakawa! He truly is a man who appears dignified but is full of gentleness!"
So far, Seimei has used up a lot of Devil Fruits. Originally, he had 200 Devil Fruits left. Shuten-dōji and Ibaraki-dōji used 40 of them to reach their peak, while Kingyo-hime used 7. In addition, summoning the Sun Wheel City used 20 more, so now he only has 133 left.
As for this number, Seimei was pondering it. This number was indeed very important, after all! The future development of Wano Country also required a large number of Wano Fruits, or rather! How to use this number of Devil Fruits was absolutely a very important matter.
"Hmm~"
