Capítulo 11: Plans and System
I thought of something quite interesting.
I'm looking forward to the moment when I can use this 'interesting thing.'
And thanks for the first review; it made me quite happy!
PS:(One of the programs I use to help correct writing errors ended up altering some punctuation in dialogues. I've reviewed several times to make sure I fixed everything, but maybe, just maybe, I might have missed something. Be warned if you find anything odd...)

What happened after Sinbad's display of power was rather straightforward.
He inspired the Upper Moons, using a natural charisma he possessed alongside his 'Baal' form, which Sinbad still wasn't sure what to call.
In this way, he assured the Upper Moons that they would win as long as they stood by him, securing their almost complete loyalty.
And contrary to expectations: no, Sinbad did not do this verbally. He simply stared at them, his eyes narrowing into slits as he focused on each Upper Moon, a single glance enough to convey to them the entire situation they were in, and who was truly superior between the two sides (Demons and Demon Slayers).
This all happened a few good minutes ago, and now, after letting the Upper Moons acclimate to his presence in this transformation (diminishing the intensity of his aura), Sinbad decided to speak again.
"Let's start with the Plans," Sinbad declared, snapping his fingers, small sparks of electricity now emanating from his draconic hands.
"Kokushibo, you will forcefully transform some Humans into Onis."
"Find Humans, criminals, and turn them into Onis. After that, take a group of them and start attacking the most important Transport points in the country."
"The Demon Slayers won't stand idly by when this happens and will likely send a Hashira, or at the very least, an important group of Demon Slayers."
Sinbad clasped his hands as he looked at Kokushibo, who was attentively listening to his Orders alongside the other Upper Moons.
"If they send a Hashira, Nakime will open a Door to the Infinite Castle and kidnap the Hashira to our territory. That way, we ensure the death of a Hashira."
"This will put the Demon Slayers on alert, allowing us to start the attack for real. You will invade some Prisons and turn all Humans in those Prisons into Onis; I will encourage them to attack specific locations, creating an urgent situation for the Demon Slayers."
"They will be forced to act immediately, sending more Hashiras across the country, each to a different location. You, Upper Moons, will walk in pairs of two. So even if the Hashiras walk in pairs or trios, you can ensure a perfect victory against them."
"I will keep an eye on each of your combat situations and any variables that arise, I will move myself to resolve. Until then, I will analyze the situation and search for the Sun Breathing User who caused the previous Oni King's death."
"If you wish, you can fight him as a group after you have completed all your tasks (if you perform them on time), otherwise, I will handle him myself."
Sinbad concluded the explanation of the Plan with closed eyes. It wasn't difficult to think of a Plan against the Demon Slayers, especially with such powerful subordinates.
They could be proud but were obliged to obey the Oni King, so even Muzan could have done that.
'That former Oni King completely wasted the advantage he had; if he had killed the Demon Slayers in time, he could have dealt with the Sun Breathing User through strategy or even hidden until he died.'
'But as he was traumatized after fighting the First Breathing User, he couldn't act aggressively. In a way, that guy (Yoriichi) fulfilled his duty as a Demon Slayer even after death.'
Upon finishing his reasoning, Sinbad opened his eyes, where he saw the Subordinates staring at him determinedly, and in a way, amazed. This brought confusion to Sinbad for a while until he realized the reason.
'Ah. They probably wanted to act aggressively for a long time, but couldn't due to Muzan's orders. And since the only possible threat was removed thanks to me, they are now excited to fulfill their duties.'
Thinking he understood everything (he didn't), Sinbad lightly clapped his hands.
"All right, you can continue to look at me like that later; I know I'm incredibly handsome." He waved with a self-admiring smile.
"But now you have a Plan to fulfill. Use your abilities; you are Onis, so while the Demon Slayers are forced to sleep and get tired at some point, you can keep acting."
This sentence from Sinbad was enough for the Upper Moons to start acting; thus, they left after most of them gave him a final look, apparently cheerful.
The only one who remained in the room was Nakime, who was in a relatively safe environment where she would fulfill her part of the Plan. After all, she wasn't a physical fighter, so there was no reason for her to leave the Infinite Castle.
Sinbad let Nakime make her own choices while creating a chain of electricity between his fingers and thus, staring at electricity as if he were doing something.
From the outside view, it definitely looked like he was preparing something by doing these actions with electricity, but in reality, Sinbad had other reasons for doing this.
'So Nakime won't think I'm some retard for staring at the air doing nothing. I somehow have to maintain my Image...' He thought, hiding a slight laugh.

'All my Masteries returned to one, but my knowledge of those Masteries remained.'
'I received the basic Skills that every Oni King should have, and no power of my own upon becoming the Oni King.'
'My Regeneration is obviously more powerful than the previous Oni King (Muzan), and my shape alteration is much less limited.'
'As a Perfect Oni, I have become essentially immortal for almost anything physical. Some things like those Whiter's Skulls can still kill me, but at least I can be much more aggressive this way.'
'That 'Deduction' Skill... well, it simply allows me to deduce the Obvious, rather than being something more powerful. That's precisely why I'm talking like this mentally now; it's quite nice to talk to myself.'
A satisfied smile crossed Sinbad's face before he made the Status Window disappear from in front of him.
'{Missions}'
[Objective(1): Kill a Hashira]
[Reward: Breathing type of the dead Hashira.]
[Repeatable Mission.]
[Objective(2): Destroy the Demon Slayer Corps]
[Reward: Mental Library (Empty)]
[Objective(3): Kill the Traveler from Another World]
[Reward: New System Function, Pass to another World.]
[Objective(4): Set yourself free.]
[Description: Follow your Nature that Dominates even the Oni Hunger, even if you don't know what your Nature is.]
[Reward: A New Metal Receptacle(1/3)]
'The breaths huh...they strengthen the Human Body but that's it. They're not very useful to me, especially because I have Magic and real powers, and considering that the Breaths don't really release powers and only their Carriers can see the supposed Effects...'
'This reward would be Useless but thanks to the Second Objective, it might be good to acquire knowledge about the Breaths. I won't use them, but I could teach them to other people, perhaps future allies.'
'A New Function and a Pass to another World. The stay in this World will be slower than expected; it won't take long to end that Traveler, I know his Strength thanks to the information I received, and I'm confident in defeating him.'
'Fortunately, the Pass won't be used instantly so maybe, just maybe, I can try to find some use for the Upper Moons before leaving this world.'
'Finally, the last objective. My Nature...I've always been very lively and curious about everything; even my Father spoke of it from time to time. But the System makes it seem like I didn't do everything I should have liked to do, as if it knew me better than myself.'
'I can ask the System at any time but the lack of this information isn't dangerous (MAX Deduction). On the contrary, it's...exciting.' A glint of excitement lit up Sinbad's eyes, causing the electricity between his fingers to vanish for a moment before returning.
'I was right not to let Father break this System; it's so interesting~!' Sinbad closed one hand over the other, causing electricity to be created between the palms of his hands, slowly leaking out before disappearing and repeating this cycle.
The Mission Screen in front of him was undone with a simple thought.
'{Report}'
A larger window than the others appeared in front of Sinbad; in this Window, there were some Images of People he knew.
'These are...'
Sinbad detected some Symbols, as well as recognized the people he saw: they were the Upper Moons.
[Choose who you want to see a Report on.]

FINAL NOTES
I'm thinking about portraying the POV of each Upper Moon in the upcoming chapters, or at least in the next chapter, starting from Sinbad's arrival (or after he sits on the throne). This way, you, readers, can understand their thought processes and learn what they think about Sinbad.
What do you think? If you prefer this approach, I can make some adjustments to the {Report} Option of the System, improving it even further. This is just an alternative to the original plan, so I'm asking to see if you prefer this alternative or whatever else I have in mind at the moment.
If there was anything that left you confused in this chapter, whether it be an event, a line of thought, or a writing style, feel free to write about it, and I'll read and comment on it.
Have a good day/good afternoon/good evening!
