Holy Land, Marigoa:

"Did he really die? So even protagonists can die, hahaha~" 

On her throne, Imu-sama was enjoying her time reading the new manga.

With this intriguing 'Isekai' manga, it seems she discovered something new.

Even protagonists can die, but their plot armors are so thick that they can be resurrected in another world!

"A dragon? Seems powerful..."

"Hmm? A slime? What is this thing?" Imu's curiosity grew while reading the first chapter continuously.

The same goes for the Five Elders who finally found some time to rest after receiving numerous orders from their lord after the end of the previous manga day.

Manga event:

_______________

(... It's so dark. Where am I?)

(What happened to me? I remember getting stabbed while protecting Tamura.)

(Did I... get saved? If that's the case, is this a hospital bed?)

(I can't see anything, I can't hear anything... Has the curfew already passed? I should try calling the nurse first...)

(Hm? Eh? My limbs don't seem to be responding!? That can't be right, I was only stabbed, and my arms and legs shouldn't be completely gone... Could it be that I'm paralyzed because my nerves were severed?)

(Hey hey hey, give me a break already... Ah!? I... moved!?)

(Is that grass? I can't smell anything at all. There's also no sense of sight, hearing, or smell. Only touch. What about taste?) 

... 

.. 

(Wait a minute, this isn't even a human body anymore!?)

Urura Island:

"What a miserable fate... to die and wake up again as a small, weak being." Droplets of sake scattered from Kaido's mouth as he greedily swallowed.

Just a few minutes ago, Kaido's subordinates returned from Hunters Island with a new manga that had just been released from the art store. Curious, Kaido wanted to read it.

However, he was surprised by the absurdity of this story. The plot seemed completely illogical, with the protagonist dying and being resurrected in a completely strange world. So far, no one could comprehend the logic behind this.

"Is this... a dragon? Storm Dragon Verudora?" Kaido stopped drinking, and his eyes widened in surprise... He didn't see a dragon every day.

"This dragon... powerful! Worororororo!" Kaido's attention was completely captured upon seeing the Storm Dragon and learning the truth that there were three other dragons like it in this world.

"He can read the thoughts of others, even teach them magic and how to perceive it... Kaido-san... this manga is intriguing," King calmly stated.

"Not only that, but his formidable appearance truly earns him the title of a dragon, Alber..."

"He also seems to know a lot... What does he mean by saying that many people have crossed over to this world?"

Kaido continued to read the manga with interest until he reached a truly captivating part.

"Just a human girl managed to seal such a powerful dragon?"

"Is this the power of unique skills?" 

Kaido looked forward to possessing such power... Perhaps if he acquired something similar, he could truly surpass Rob and claim the title of the strongest!

"The world of games... I wish I had a seat in this world..." Kaido felt a pressing need for one of those seats here in this world.

...

Ohara:

"Kyaa~ How cute!" Little Robin looked at the small slime that was trying to befriend the fearsome dragon and felt the urge to befriend it as well.

"Hahaha! Is this dragon feeling shy? Hahaha!"

Since Rob's manga is always colored and more vivid, Hancock, Yamato, and even Robin could notice the unusual redness on the dragon. It was a clear sign of embarrassment!

"Hahaha! Unfortunately, not all dragons are like Verudora, otherwise, this world would be more peaceful and wonderful." Yamato's tone was discouraged and sad as she remembered her biological father after seeing how kind Verudora was with the little slime.

  ... 

"Verudora Tempest... Rimuru Tempest... Dragon and Slime... But not just any ordinary slime... This seems like a story that will be enjoyable for readers from now on."

Inside his office, Rob stopped printing and publishing more volumes because what he had just published was already sufficient.

He looked at the open volume in front of him and felt that the version he drew was much better and more comprehensive than the original manga he had read on Earth.

"The world is in for the best manga of its kind ever," Rob smiled before flipping through the manga's pages and continuing to read.

...

South Blue:

"Hmm, Storm Dragon?" 

In the kingdom of Sorbet, Dragon wiped his sweat during his training and looked at Ivankov who was pointing to a specific dragon in a manga book.

"It seems like a good story, I'll read it later... Storm Dragon Verudora, a catastrophic-level monster, looks interesting-"

Before he could finish his sentence, Dragon sensed imminent danger. His instincts kicked in to avoid the strike, and he attempted to dodge, but he only managed to move slightly. Unfortunately, he couldn't evade the powerful punch that crushed his head to the ground.

"Buwahahahaha! Lowering your guard in front of your old man, you still have a long way to go before escaping the punch of love!" The one who just struck Dragon was Garp, who had left his marine rank.

"You, give me the manga volume in your hand," Garp pointed to Ivankov, who obediently left the manga book and rushed to check on his commander lying on the ground with a significant bump on his head.

"Hmm, seems like a children's story..." Despite saying that, Garp continued to flip through the manga pages with increasing interest. 

... 

"Unique skill: Predator..."

"This unique skill allowed what appeared to be a small drop of water to expand into this colossal size and swallow a massive dragon with such ease..."

"What kind of skill is this... How does it work... Is it like a Devil Fruit ability?"

  At the Marine headquarters, Sengoku was left speechless.

The more he read, the more he felt that this slime, wasn't just an ordinary slime... but an invincible and peculiar monster.

"This world seems ancient, is this a king? Are there many kings and kingdoms in this world instead of a single government?"

"Are there other races besides humans? Intriguing."

"A catastrophic-level monster? Did Verudora's disappearance lead to consequences like these?"

"So it is, the dream at the beginning of the chapter wasn't just a passing dream, but a prophecy... So you're saying he'll become a girl at some point..."

Sengoku found himself enjoying the story, much like Garp!
