"Over here! I see him running there!"

  "Dammit, catch him! If we catch him, then we fetch a lot of money from that noble dy! Oh, with his face, I am sure that that nobleman might be ied!"

  "Hyahahaha! That money is going to be a lot!"

  "...by the way, I have a taste first?"

  "....." Everyone.

  Regardless, no matter hoy this kidnapper group was, the protagonist of this story, Masa, was in his deepest despair.

  Whehought he had a new ce to live and enjoy his life to the fullest, he hought he would meet his misery.

  His face was handsome, and yes, his brain was quite okay, too.

  More importantly, with the advantage of the memory of his previous life, he believed that his future would be wonderful!

  Unfortunately, this is the world of "One Piece," where the weak are devoured by the strong!

  Usually, he would be more than happy to live in this world since he had never inteo bee the "Pirate King" or overthrow the "Wover," especially when this world was about to sink as the volume of the seawater tio increase and was about to swallow this entire world.

  In such a situation, what he o do was to enjoy his life, waiting for the protagonist, Luffy, to returhing to normal, living far aeacefully, with a beautiful woman such as Makino, Kaya, or even Nojiko.

  Yes, he didn't pn to take down those plicated heroines such as Nami or Robin. Instead, his target was those beauties on the East Blue, the most peaceful sea, making a harem there, waiting until the "Wover" was taken down by Luffy and his group.

  This might be a strange pn, but except for Kaya, as long as he could take down Makino or Nojiko, he khat his life would be fortable, especially when Makino was like a mure to Luffy and Nojiko was Nami's older sister.

  As long as he took down one of them, he khat his life would be okay.

  His pn erfect since what he wished for was stability, a normal life without moving around the sea, and just enjoying his life until old age with those beautiful heroines on the East Blue.

  As for Kaya, while it might make Usopp sad, Masa was sure that a good guy like Usopp would be happy to know that someone could take care of his beloved Kaya in his pbsp;

  'You don't have to worry, Usopp! Leave everything to me!'

  More importantly, even if he couldn't bee the stro, he believed that with his strength, or the Devil Fruit, he could gain a power that made him live well on the East Blue, the weakest sea in this world.

  Yet, the greater the hope was, the greater the disappoi was!

  Masa didn't arrive at the weakest sea of the East Blue; instead, he came to the horrible pown as Sabaody Archipego, the pce where evils and the strong eheir best and the pce where the weak could only succumb to power.

  However, this pce wasly bad either since if he could nd in the Marines and join this anization, enjoying a stable life and having a sary, it would be good.

  In the worst case, he could seduce Doll, Gion, or Kujaku, enjoying the life of the son-in-w, or rather, being a household husband might not be bad while having a sary from being a Marine.

  Yet, once again, his dream was broken sihe pce where he nded was Area 13, where the pirates, criminals, and alike thhly ran amok and eheir lives to the fullest.

  Moreover, when he arrived, he could see the greedy eyes of many.

  Yes, at that moment, he khat this world wasn't the nd of dreams where he could enjoy his life to the fullest. Instead, it was a nightmarish pce where the weak could only hope for the merd charity of the strong.

  To enjoy his life, he had to have a good background, like Luffy, with a good grandfather and father.

  Or being chosen as the ior of the Nika Nika no Mi.

  Unfortunately, he had her of them.

  His identity was nothing but just a normal person.

  If there was an adva was the fact that he was a little handsome and he was stronger ahier than before.

  Oh, his height also reached 2 meters or so, yet in this world where the average height was 3 meters or so, he was a bit petite.

  So, the moment he appeared, he was like a delib in front of hungry hyenas!

  All of them wao take him down, and he could do nothing but run away.

  Fight?

  How could he have many ces to fight in the peaceful modern world?

  Kill?

  Did ahink that he was a criminal or an assassin in his previous life?

  He wasn't an Isekai protagonist, okay?

  However, at this moment, he wished to be an Isekai protagonist; at least, even if there was a misuanding, or he just lived in the poor vilge, he could live a peaceful life instead of being chased by kidnappers, pirates, and other criminals.

  His heart was filled with fear, and he ran all of his might like a coward, but this reaade those criminals happy and enjoy this hunting game~!

  Fortunately, even if the physical ability of the people in this world was good, their brain was hardly developed, so Masa was able to hide in the dingy, dirty alley.

  "Hahahaha, keep running! Keep running!"

  "Make this game more iing!"

  "The first one who catches him will get 10,000 bellies!"

  "Too little! Add more!"

  "What do you know?! It's already good enough if we sell him 200,000 bellies, you know?!"

  "So little!"

  Those criminals talked happily and loudly, without g about anything.

  Yet, even if Masa's heart was filled with frustration that he bit his lower lip and ched his fist till the blood came, he khat he could do nothing.

  He was too weak!

  In front of the sharpness of the bde and the force of the bullet, could he even do anything?

  He didn't even have a fug "Gomu Gomu no Mi" like Luffy."

  Oh, fuck, it was a "Nika Nika no Mi!"

  However, no matter how much he pined, he khat he was already dying. He was hungry, tired, and had no more energy to run anymore.

  'What should I do?!'

  Should he run for the Marines?

  If he could, then he would, but where was it?!

  'ht, there's Silvers Rayleigh and Shakuyaku!'

  He remembered that those two figures were in this pce, but once again, where were they?!

  If he came out from their hiding pce, he khat he was as good as dead, and he khat he would die in a pathetic way with a bleeding lower body!

  Yet, as he was in his deepest despair, he found something on the er.

  Probably, it was his luck or fate, but in this pce where no one expected, he found the legendary Devil Fruit.

  "This...?"

  Masa was dumbfounded, but he became excited and grabbed the Devil Fruit directly!

  At that moment, he khat his ce to live came once again!

  As long as he ate this Devil Fruit, he could have a ce to run away, train to bee stronger, and the his revenge!

  Even if the Devil Fruit was dirty, he didn't hesitate and ate it directly.

  "Ugh....!"

  It was said the taste of the Devil Fruit was horrible, and tasting it for the first time, he realized how awful it was, but he kept eating it until nothing was left!

  As he ate, he also wondered what kind of Devil Fruit he had eaten.

  However, if possible, he wao eat a Zoan-type Devil Fruit since even if it was the weakest herbivore type of animal Zoan, he didn't mind since as long as he could eat this type of Devil Fruit, he would gain an enhanced physical ability that allowed him to run away!

  Fuck, if possible, he wanted a Worm Worm fruit, so he could escape by digging the soil, then did his revenge by burying those criminals into the ground, killing them by torment!

  If it had been before, he wouldn't have imagihat he could be so cruel, but his mentality was distorted in this pce, and if he wao live well, he had to bee cruel!

  'So, what kind of power is it?'

  Was it Zoan? Was it Logia?

  However, if possible, he didn't want to get a Paramecia type si was the most random ability. Moreover, the improvement in physical ability was the weakest.

  While Logia's physical improvement might be quite simir to the Paramecia, at least he could turn into the element, and unless he met a powerful fighter that could use Haki, he khat it was impossible to kill him!

  More importantly, acc to his observation, if the criminals who wao catch him were strong, then would they gather in a group to toy with him like this?

  It was because they toyed with him that he khat the positions and strength of those criminals were at the bottom of the food s!

  It was because of their distorted mentality that they enjoyed bullying him!

  However, no matter what, they were strohan him, and what he had to do was bee strohan them first so he could gain his revenge!

  The Logia type or Zoan type?

  Even if Paramecia had the highest potential, which could affect the cept if he died, then what was the point?

  Yet, once again, he had to hit another despair, especially with the Devil Fruit that he had eaten.

  "Jake Jake no Mi..."

  His expression became so ugly, especially when he could feel a zipper suddenly f oop of his head, and his body almost became cloth-like.

  Yet, as he was in the middle of his thought—

  Bang!

  His head burst, and before he felt anything, he died.

  "It's dangerous..."

  A man who came to the alley rubbed his chest worriedly as he looked at Masa's lifeless body and the uen part of the Devil Fruit in Masa's hand.

  "I almost gave him a ce for revenge..."

  No matter what the Devil Fruit was, as long as Masa ate it, he would have a ce to kill all of them, so the mahat he had to kill Masa before Masa grew.

  "What a shame..."

  Still, watg his handsome face bee ugly due to the headshot, the man sighed helplessly before he walked away, knowing that the high-quality good was ruined.

  Yet, what the man didn't know was that Masa didn't die at this moment, but he ulled into a certain space, a white pace with two figures standing before him.

  There was nothing in this pce, and there were only the three of them, but as soon as they saw each other, their expressions became strange.

  "You are... me?" 3x
