Elsewhere on the Planet Pirate, in Loguetown.
Looking at his panting son, whose eyes still held deep hatred, Roger remained silent for a long time before barely managing to utter a sentence: "...I truly wronged your mother and you."
Back then, Roger knew he was terminally ill, a dying man.
But even so, he had still wooed the young Rouge and left behind a child.
Their feelings were genuine, but Roger's actions were indeed scummy.
A man over fifty, knowing he was about to die, actually wooing a young woman in her twenties, inexperienced in the ways of the world.
It's too beastly!
"Shut up! Huff... Huff... I... I'll kill you..." Ace barely propped himself up, still trying to forcefully activate Conqueror's Haki Infusion.
But although he had mastered this technique over the past few years, compared to his father who had already died once, he was still far inferior.
Too exhausted, Ace could no longer use [Great Flame Commandment: Flame Emperor].
He barely managed to condense a small fireball resembling a red Rasengan, a [Small Flame Commandment: Flame Peasant], in his palm.
He threw it at Roger with his last bit of strength.
Roger's expression was complex. He also planted his sword at his feet, allowing this unknown little fireball to fly towards him.
'If this makes you feel better, then come on.'
However, just as Roger himself was prepared to let his son 'kill' him, his body acted as if Kamui had been activated.
The [Flame Peasant] passed through his chest as if through empty air.
Whoosh...
The next second, it detonated on a building behind Roger.
But Roger himself was completely unharmed.
Or rather, he no longer had a physical body.
Whoosh... Boom-
An impenetrable darkness enveloped the skies above various planets, gradually sucking the resurrected deceased back in.
The living didn't know what it was, but the deceased knew all too well!
"Damn it! I haven't fought enough! Aaaaahhh-" Rocks at the God Valley ruins let out a roar of frustration.
But he was completely powerless against the abyssal pull of Hell. His body was grabbed by an invisible giant hand and forcibly dragged back into Hell.
"It seems... I can't let you hit me a few more times to vent your anger." Roger in Loguetown also realized what was happening and spoke apologetically to Ace, who looked like a younger version of himself.
"You son of a bi-" Ace started to curse, but halfway through, he remembered something more important. He turned his head and saw Whitebeard, who had also been resurrected, gradually ascending back to Hell.
"Pops!!!" Ace screamed hoarsely, throwing himself towards Whitebeard without regard for anything else.
But since the other no longer had a physical body, he naturally passed right through.
"Take good care of yourself, Ace!" The ascending Whitebeard shouted down with a face full of paternal love. "Do more good deeds while you're alive! Hell is not a good place!"
"Waaah- Pops-" Ace fell to his knees, tears and snot mixing on his face.
Roger beside Whitebeard showed an expression of frustration + disgust.
'Wasn't this a form of NTR?'
Similar situations occurred on other planets.
"Whew!" On the Planet Shinigami, Rukia, her Captain's Haori in tatters, plopped down onto her small bottom, looking up at Yhwach and the many other enemies ascending to Hell.
'Th-thank goodness, it seems Lott defeated that monster.'
Although most of those returning to Hell were enemies like Yhwach and the Sternritter...
There were also some presences that evoked reluctance.
"Old Man Yama!" Kyoraku Shunsui and the other Shinigami looked reluctantly at another figure floating towards Hell.
It was none other than Yamamoto!
"Leaving the Seireitei to a kid like you truly worries me. Do a good job! I'll be watching you from down below!" Yamamoto glared fiercely at his successor, Kyoraku, then his expression softened as he looked at the other members of the Gotei 13, saying gravely:
"The Soul Society... is in your hands!"
…
However, heartwarming scenes like those between Yamamoto and the Gotei 13, or Whitebeard and Ace, were ultimately in the minority.
After all, 99.99% of the people in Hell were scum.
For example...
On the now halved Planet Yasha.
"Meido Zangetsuha!"
The impeccably dressed Sesshomaru drew the Tenseiga, releasing the spatial slash that originally belonged to the Tessaiga.
Before returning from the Grand Kai's planet, he had made a deal with Ainz Ooal Gown, who had taken the Tessaiga.
He would help him accomplish one thing in exchange for returning the power of the Meido Zangetsuha to the Tenseiga.
The space-rending slash cut an opening beneath Hell, sucking Naraku in faster.
"Wallow forever at the bottom of Hell with your wretched form, Naraku!" Sesshomaru said with utter contempt.
'You had always looked down on me, and after returning, you didn't even know to keep a low profile.'
'Did you really think you were that strong?'
…
"Hehe~ I still won, Cell. But before you go, I want to ask a question." On Earth, Goku, having reverted from his Super Saiyan 2 Form to his normal state, looked at the heavily injured Cell lying on the ground.
"What kind of world is Hell?"
Cell impatiently turned his face away. His completely exhausted body began floating uncontrollably towards the Hell portal above, leaving only one final sentence:
"Come see for yourself."
Watching Cell's body being completely swallowed by Hell, Son Goku scratched his head. "Seems like there'd be a lot of strong fighters there... But I still don't really want to go~"
…
On Planet Terra.
Lott had Maki riding on his shoulders, held Videl in one arm, and was followed by a young Namekian around Gohan's age, Dende, who looked at him with worship in his eyes.
The Lott Family's influence seemed to be growing.
Seeing this scene from a distance, Yukinoshita Yukino remembered the girl named 'Rumii' from the earlier video, who bore an 80% resemblance to her.
'Perhaps he isn't a good man, but he must be a good father.'
A strange thought arose in this flat girl's heart.
'Based on Rumii's estimated age in the video, her birth was probably within the next few years, right?'
Thinking this, Yukinoshita Yukino secretly glanced down at her own abdomen.
"Prime Minister Fujiwara, please allow us to join the Hero Association." On the other side, Bai Yuekui requested permission from Prime Minister Fujiwara on behalf of her surviving team members.
Having lost their home planet, Bai Yuekui felt the urgent need was to find new employment.
She glanced at the bustling A-City.
'Well, it couldn't be worse than before, right?'
Prime Minister Fujiwara blinked a couple of times, thinking for a long moment before barely remembering that this woman had also participated in the tournament.
He nodded in agreement but didn't pay much attention to this group.
As long as Lott was here, there was nothing to worry about on Planet Terra.
"Lott-san! You've worked hard!" An unexpected, lovely figure popped out and called to Lott.
Akari!
Facing Lott's rather surprised gaze, Akari said with a smile:
"I had Arceus send me over. I'm about to return to my own time. I wanted to say goodbye before leaving."
"Is that so? That's good. If you stayed in this era, probably no one would want to be a Trainer anymore." Lott laughed.
After all, Akari's talent compared to the Trainers of this era, be it Lance, Leon, Ash, or Paul, was completely on another level, a cliff-like lead.
"Oh, right, I also brought your friend along." Akari remembered something else and added.
As soon as Akari finished speaking, BGM started playing from somewhere.
In the direction Akari pointed, the President of the Pokémon League from the Planet Pokémon, Charles Goodshow, accompanied by Cynthia, Leon, and other Trainers, pushed two food carts carrying massive Alcremie cakes and said with a laugh:
"Happy Birthday, Hero Who Saved the Universe!"
'Damn it, stealing my business!?' The expressions of Genos and Ishigami changed.
Of course they remembered Lott's birthday.
They just hadn't expected such chaos to erupt on this day.
Busy dealing with Cooler, Elder Centipede, and the other resurrected idiots, they had actually forgotten such an important matter.
The Planet Pokémon was the least affected by this upheaval, so they had plenty of time to prepare.
As for how Charles Goodshow knew Lott's birthday was today...
He had found an opportunity to ask Goku.
After all, the female Saiyan nurse in charge of delivering Saiyan babies in the earlier video had said that Lott and Goku were born on the same day.
Just ask Goku, and they'd know, right?
Prime Minister Fujiwara, who had been dealing with Bai Yuekui and considering whether to assign the white-haired woman to A-Class or B-Class, muttered a stream of curses that would definitely be censored on TV.
He had also prepared a birthday celebration, but like Genos and Ishigami, there was too much trouble and he had accidentally forgotten.
Who would have thought that old fox Charles Goodshow would come all the way from across the galaxy to celebrate?
'That damn, cunning old man.'
