Chapter 46 - Chapter 45: The Unleashing of Chaos

In the dark corners of the world, a ripple of chaos began to spread as Ainz Ooal Gown's carefully laid plans came to fruition. The devil-fruit-like creations, infused with the essence of his dimension, had been scattered throughout the seas, lying in wait for those who would succumb to their temptations.

Word spread quickly among pirates and mercenaries alike about the mystical fruits that promised unparalleled power. These fruits promised strength beyond imagination, with each bite unlocking new abilities. But there was a catch: the fruits fed on the violence and death inflicted by their users, growing stronger with every soul they claimed.

A Feast of Destruction

As rumors swirled, desperate and power-hungry pirates scoured the oceans, seeking out the fruits hidden in the nooks and crannies of islands and coastlines. Within days, crews began to devour the fruits, and the transformation was immediate. Strength surged through them like wildfire, igniting their darkest desires.

"I feel invincible!" roared a hulking pirate captain named Blackbeard as he chomped down on a fruit, its vibrant colors twisting with arcane energy. His crew cheered, intoxicated by the taste of power coursing through their veins. "With this strength, we can take whatever we want!"

The captains and their crews became blinded by their newfound abilities. Some started small, picking fights with rival crews, but it wasn't long before the slaughter spread beyond mere skirmishes. Towns fell victim to their rampage as they carved a path of destruction through the seas, claiming territory as their own.

In only a few days, they were unrecognizable—ruthless killers drunk on strength, mercilessly slaughtering anyone who stood in their way.

A Wave of Carnage

With each kill, their power swelled. Towns were left in ruins, blood staining the cobblestones as they rampaged through markets and homes, slaughtering innocents without a second thought. Countries trembled at the mere mention of these newly empowered pirates.

One captain, known as Iron Fist, led his crew into the heart of a small kingdom, their eyes wild with bloodlust. "Burn it all! Take everything!" he bellowed, reveling in the chaos. Flames engulfed buildings as the crew tore through the panicked citizens, laughter echoing through the streets.

The more they killed, the stronger they became. Their bodies transformed, muscles bulging, and abilities evolving with each soul consumed.

But unbeknownst to them, every time a pirate perished, the soul of the victim was absorbed and returned to Ainz's dimension, along with the fruit they had consumed. Ainz observed from afar, a cold smile on his skeletal face, relishing the pandemonium that unfolded.

The Cycle of Power

As the pirates fell in battle, their devil fruits and the essence of their victims returned to Ainz, feeding his ever-expanding power. "Fools," he mused, watching as their reckless abandon turned them into mere tools for his greater design. "They think they can wield this power without consequence. They do not know the true cost of strength."

Unfazed by their short-sightedness, Ainz continued to scatter more fruits across the world, each imbued with the essence of his dimension. He knew that with every fruit devoured, the cycle of death and rebirth would continue, strengthening both him and the chaos.

The Resurgence of Violence

With more fruits in circulation, the cycle of slaughter escalated. New captains rose to prominence, their power a testament to the blood they spilled. They challenged one another, their lust for dominance driving them to greater extremes. Cities burned, kingdoms fell, and all the while, Ainz watched from the shadows, the puppet master of their destruction.

As the cycle continued, the world began to shift. The seas grew more dangerous, and the territories once controlled by the Marines began to fracture under the weight of rebellion and bloodlust.

The Unraveling of Order

Governments were thrown into disarray as reports of the carnage poured in. The Navy struggled to maintain order, their resources stretched thin. Whispers of a new pirate era filled the air, one led by individuals emboldened by their reckless pursuit of power.

But Ainz knew that the chaos was only just beginning. He watched as the blood flowed and the fruits proliferated, each wave of destruction serving his greater plan.

"Soon, they will realize the true extent of their folly," Ainz whispered to himself, a gleam of ambition in his eyes. "And when they do, they will become even more useful to me."

In the depths of his dimension, the souls of the slain lingered, each one a testament to the cycle of power and destruction that Ainz had set in motion. The world was ripe for his influence, and the chaos was just the beginning.
