After taking a bath, Is was helped into a fresh set of clothes by the maids before heading to the living room.
Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama were ln the sofa chatting.
Tatsumaki and Unohana Retsu were cooking, the Old Heavenly Master and Aying ocnologia had gone outside to bask in the sun, and Yoriichi Tsugikuni was practicing swordsmanship.
Leaning back against the soft sofa, Is opened his status panel.

After the battle at God Valley, Is's Flame-Flame Fruit had finally completed its evolution. Its power had undoubtedly increased by a considerable amount.
And before long, he would be able to excavate again.
"Dinner's ready, Is."
Carrying several dishes, Tatsumaki placed them on the table and reminded him softly.
Seeing that Is remained motionless, she put her hands on her hips before pinching his cheek.
"Is, it's time to eat."
Feeling a slight sting on his face, Is stopped thinking, closed the status panel visible only to himself, rubbed his cheek, and replied:
"Got it."
"Where did Yoriichi and the others go?"
Unohana Retsu placed another dish on the table and looked around.
"Yoriichi went out to practice swordsmanship. The Old Heavenly Master and Acnologia are outside sunbathing."
Hashirama answered while picking up his chopsticks and starting to eat.
"Honestly… I'll go call them."
With her hands on her hips, Unohana walked out to the backyard and shouted:
"Dinner's ready! If you don't come now, there won't be any left."
"Already time to eat? But the sunlight feels so good I don't even want to move. The weather today is wonderful."
Acnologia slowly opened his eyes and stretched lazily in his chair, yet made no move to stand.
"The sunlight here is quite nice. For these old bones of mine, it's truly enjoyable."
The Old Heavenly Master stood up with a faint smile.
"Exactly. The sun feels so good I don't even want to eat."
Acnologia continued lying there lazily.
"Then keep lying there. Don't complain when all the food's gone."
Unohana crossed her arms and replied.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
In a shaded area of the backyard, Yoriichi was practicing his swordsmanship. Hearing it was mealtime, he sheathed his blade.
"Acnologia, you need to eat first to have the strength to sunbathe."
Yoriichi patted Acnologia's shoulder with a smile.
"You've got a point."
Acnologia sat up immediately before following everyone back into the living room.
…
"You should try this. I spent a long time learning it from Sister Minian before finally making it properly."
Tatsumaki pushed a dish toward Is with an eager smile.
"Really?"
Is nodded slightly before picking up his chopsticks and taking a bite.
"How does it taste?"
Tatsumaki asked impatiently.
"Mmm… at least it's edible for humans."
Is gave his evaluation.
"If it's bad, then don't eat it!"
Puffing out her cheeks, Tatsumaki pulled the dish back toward herself.
"No, what I meant was… your cooking goes really well with rice."
Is corrected himself seriously.
"What does that mean?"
"He's praising your cooking."
"Really?"
Tatsumaki said excitedly, pushing the dish back in front of Is.
"Of course."
Is raised his chopsticks toward the dish, hesitated for a moment…
Then chose a different plate instead.
"..."
…
A while later, everyone had finished eating, and the maids came to clear away the dishes.
"Master, today's newspaper."
A group of maids approached and presented the day's papers.
Is accepted one with a slight nod and read through it carefully.
"Aurelius D. Virel Is — The God Who Ended Rocks."
Is read the headline aloud.
After the battle at God Valley, he had now been given the title of God.
After all, Rocks had rampaged across the New World for years, and the Marines had been powerless against him.
The Rocks Pirates had plundered countless allied nations, plunging the entire New World into fear.
By ending Rocks, Is had allowed countless countries across the New World to breathe a sigh of relief.
The title of God bestowed upon Is was acknowledged throughout the entire New World, with virtually no opposition.
"Is, the title of God carries quite a bit of weight in this world."
Hashirama looked at the newspaper in his hand and smiled.
Back in the Naruto world, Hashirama himself had once been called a god—
The God of Shinobi.
He was recognized as one of the absolute strongest in the ninja world, and only someone like him deserved such a title.
No matter the world, gods stood above all else.
To be granted the title meant one had earned the world's recognition.
And Is's actions had already earned recognition from the entire New World.
"It's only a title. To me, something like that is meaningless."
Taking a sip of coffee, Is spoke indifferently.
The World Government had pushed this news for a reason.
Because in this world, there also existed the enemies of the gods—
The Clan of D.
Though the Celestial Dragons called themselves gods, Is had been granted the title by the acknowledgment of the world itself.
Now, the World Government had pushed him to the very front lines.
In the future, if the Clan of D sought to overthrow the World Government, then Is would become the first obstacle they'd need to defeat.
"The title of God represents this world's recognition of you, Is. Not just anyone can receive such a title."
The Old Heavenly Master smiled faintly while reading the newspaper.
"This title brings me no benefits. If anything, it may even become harmful."
Lying back on the soft sofa, Is dismissed it with disdain.
"How many people in this world are still capable of threatening you, Is?"
Acnologia laughed dismissively.
The current Is had already ended Rocks. In the future, he would only become stronger.
Who could possibly threaten him?
Besides, apart from Is himself, they all remained loyally by his side.
With all of them together—
Who would dare act against Is?
