CHAPTER 9 — The Four Who Should Not Stand Together The forest clearing still crackled with leftover paradox static. Gojo, Luffy, Spike, and Jin‑Woo stood in a loose circle, each radiating a completely different flavor of chaos. Luffy immediately broke the silence. “SPIKE! JIN‑WOO! Did you see it?! We punched the glitch guy so hard he turned into alphabet soup!” Spike crossed his arms, smirking. “Yeah, I felt the shockwave. Thought the universe sneezed.” Jin‑Woo sheathed his blade, shadows swirling behind him like a silent army. “I’m still trying to understand how you two beat something that edits reality.” Gojo raised a finger. “Correction. We beat him because he edits reality.” Luffy nodded enthusiastically. “Yeah! He tried to delete my arm, so I deleted his face!” Spike blinked. “That’s… not how deletion works.” Luffy shrugged. “It is now.” Gojo stepped forward, hands in pockets. “Anyway, introductions. I’m Gojo Satoru. Strongest sorcerer. Handsome. Humble.” Spike snorted. “You forgot ‘annoying.’” Gojo gasped dramatically. “You wound me.” Jin‑Woo stepped closer, studying Gojo with a calm, analytical gaze. “Your power… it doesn’t feel like magic. It feels like the world is scared to touch you.” Gojo smiled. “It should be.” Luffy wrapped an arm around Spike and Jin‑Woo, stretching it like a rubber scarf. “We’re all friends now!” Spike struggled. “Luffy—Luffy let go—Luffy I can’t breathe—” Jin‑Woo sighed. “This is my life now.” Gojo clapped once. “Alright, team. We need to figure out what the Sovereign’s next move is.” Spike’s expression darkened. “He’s not gone. You beat a manifestation, not the core.” Jin‑Woo nodded. “The shadows are restless. Something bigger is coming.” Luffy raised a hand. “Is it food?” “No,” Spike said. “Is it punchable?” “Yes,” Gojo answered. Luffy pumped his fist. “THEN LET’S GO!” Gojo sighed. “We need a plan, not a punch.” Spike pointed at Gojo. “For once, I agree with the blindfolded menace.” Gojo smirked. “You’re just jealous of my hair.” Spike’s eye twitched. “I don’t even have hair.” Luffy burst out laughing so hard he rolled across the ground like a rubber tumbleweed. Jin‑Woo finally cracked a tiny smile. “This is going to be interesting.” Auren’s voice echoed through the trees. “Gojo. Luffy. Spike. Jin‑Woo. The Paradox Core has awakened. You must move now.” Gojo stretched his neck. “Well, boys… looks like the plot’s calling.” Luffy grinned. “Let’s answer it!” Spike’s aura flared. “Let’s finish this.” Jin‑Woo summoned his army. “Let’s hunt.” The four stepped forward together— Infinity, Chaos, Truth, and Shadows— and the world trembled at the alliance that should never have existed. CHAPTER 9 — March to the Paradox Core The path to the Paradox Core wasn’t a path at all. It was a glitching corridor of floating geometry, broken timelines, and half‑rendered memories. Every step rewrote the ground beneath them. Luffy poked a floating cube. “Hey Gojo, why is the floor doing math?” Gojo shrugged. “Because the Sovereign hates fun.” Spike hopped onto a shifting platform. “Stay focused. This place is unstable.” Jin‑Woo’s shadows flickered. “Something’s watching us.” Gojo smirked. “Let it watch. I look great from every angle.” Spike groaned. “I regret teaming up with you.” Luffy wrapped an arm around Spike again. “No you don’t! We’re best friends now!” Spike: “I literally just met you.” Luffy: “BEST. FRIENDS.” Jin‑Woo chuckled under his breath. “He’s not going to stop.” Gojo leaned toward Jin‑Woo. “Just let it happen. Resistance only makes him stronger.” Suddenly, the corridor shook. A massive Paradox Beast emerged— a towering creature made of broken reflections and contradictory shapes. It roared in three different tenses at once. Spike stepped forward. “I’ve got this.” Luffy grabbed his arm. “No! Let’s all fight it!” Spike blinked. “Why?” Luffy grinned. “Because it’s more fun!” Gojo cracked his knuckles. “I like the kid’s logic.” Jin‑Woo summoned a shadow giant. “Let’s end this quickly.” The beast lunged. The Four‑Way Combo Spike dashed forward, Truth‑energy spiraling around him. He struck the beast’s core contradiction—its belief that it existed in two places at once. Jin‑Woo’s shadows pinned its limbs, freezing its paradox loops. Gojo flicked a finger. “Hollow Blue.” The beast compressed inward, its contradictions collapsing. Luffy leapt high, stretching his arm back. “Gomu Gomu no… FRIENDSHIP CANNONBALL!” He slammed into the beast with cartoon force. The creature shattered into harmless fragments of unreal geometry. Luffy landed, laughing. “WE DID IT!” Spike dusted himself off. “That was… actually kind of fun.”
