Drunk-Drunk Fruit

The white-haired old man was tied to the top of a pillar, and he was covered in wounds.

"I'll ask you one more time, you old fool, where's the treasure?"

Beneath the pillar stood a burly man, his strong, muscular physique accentuated by a tight-fitting vest, his eyes as fierce as a tiger's.

Not far from him, more than a dozen corpses lay scattered about, and blood was everywhere.

"Please stop, Buck, I'm begging you,"

Bound to the beads, the old man, Wolf, was in immense pain. "That thing really doesn't exist on this island anymore!"

"Shut up, you old geezer!"

Buck roared, "Have you been telling me the legend of the treasure on Svalbard Island ever since I was a kid? Do you know how many years I've been waiting for this? Now you're saying the treasure doesn't exist? What do you take my childhood dream for?!"

Wolf's eyes revealed a deep sorrow. "It's my fault for not guiding you onto the right path, Buck."

"Stop talking nonsense!!"

Buck grew increasingly agitated, stomping his thick feet on the ground incessantly.

"Old man, I'll see just how stubborn you really are."

"Pochiano, bring another guy over."

"Understood, Captain."

A huge, fat man, even taller Buck, responded with a smile.

The man named Pochiano was dressed in a sumo wrestler's outfit, revealing his body full of fat.

The obese strongman walked up to the villagers and grabbed one of the men at random.

The people around tried to resist, but the strongman simply pushed them, and everyone in that area rolled into a heap.

"Captain, they're here."

Pochiano threw the man in front of Buck.

"This is the fifteenth already. Remember that, you old codger, hehehe, these are all your sins."

Buck casually flicked his left hand, and a jet of purple liquid splashed out, completely covering the terrified man in front of him.

After being covered in liquid, the man's expression changed abruptly; his face turned bright red, his eyes became incredibly dull, and he even started hiccuping.

"Alcohol can corrupt the mind; once drunk, the brain is already controlled by alcohol!"

Buck grinned smugly, "Drunkard, drunkard--"

"Hiccup~ The drunkard is here! Hahaha."

The drunken man laughed loudly and cheerfully raised his hand.

"Stop! Stop, Buck!!" Wolf struggled desperately, shouting in a mixture of shock and rage.

But of course, it was to no avail.

"Commit suicide, you drunkard."

Buck said coldly.

"Good!"

The man responded with a smile.

A pirate chuckled and tossed him a knife. The man staggered over, then tripped over his left foot with his right and fell flat on his face.

He seemed unable to get up, but he still crawled over to the knife and slowly picked it up.

The man held the knife up to his face for a moment, then chuckled, "Heh heh, you drunkard, trying to commit suicide!"

He gripped the knife with both hands, the blade pointed at his throat.

"No!!"

There were desperate screams from the crowd.

Wolf shouted desperately, "Buck! Stop! Stop! The treasure is long gone! I used it to rebuild the town you destroyed!"

"Do you think I'm a fool?!"

Buck roared, "What's the difference between this ruin and when I left?"

"I'm asking you one last time!"

"Old man, where exactly is the treasure?!"

His roar echoed across the area, "This is just the beginning! If you, you old bastard, continue to hide this, I'll kill everyone here!"

The drunkard had already raised the blade, and then plunged it into his own throat.

Wolf closed his eyes, unable to bear it any longer.

Why, why did that bastard come back?

Why bring nightmares back to a town that has finally overcome hardship and embraced joy?

"ROOM!"

With a roar, the transparent air shield suddenly expanded.

"Huh?"

The drunken man rubbed his eyes groggily, the blade in his hand turning into a clod of dirt. "Heh heh, I think I'm drunk."

He said with a grin.

"Kindness?"

Buck raised an eyebrow, looking down at the boy who had leaped over and landed at the base of the pillar.

"Luo!!"

Wolf exclaimed in surprise.

"Sorry, I seem to be late, Uncle Wolff."

Luo breathed a long sigh of relief. "I'll get you down right away."

"Save him?"

Buck grabbed another barrel of liquor and chugged it down, slurring with alcohol fumes, "Kid, who do you think you are?"

"Luo, let's go!"

After a brief moment of joy, Wolf immediately said anxiously, "Buck is Paramecia Drunken Fruit Devil Fruit User. He can create highly corrosive liquid that can not only corrode physical objects but also corrupt people's hearts! He can control those affected!"

"Wow! That's a powerful ability!"

Not far behind, among Sirius's group who had come with Luo, Black Maria said with some surprise, "They can actually manipulate people's minds?"

"Indeed, that's a remarkable ability."

Sirius stroked his chin.

It reminded him of something he had seen in his previous life.

Chainsaw Man.

"Teacher Kaido would probably really like this ability."

Sirius Road.

"Sirius, should we help?" Yamato asked. "This guy seems weak."

He was exceptionally weak; his aura was barely stronger than Luo's.

He's probably like Law, someone who makes a living off his fruit.

Sirius, "Hasn't Luo said anything yet?"

Luo was breathing slowly; he had certainly heard Wolf's words, but he showed no sign of backing down.

He caught a glimpse of the corpse on the ground beside him out of the corner of his eye.

His fist clenched instantly.

"Uncle Polly, little sister Annie, Aunt Léa..."

They were all his friends, all of them who had smiled at him over the years, making him realize that gentle people like Mr. Corazon were not unique.

He was one of the people who stood up to resist when Doflamingo captured him a few days ago!

He was an important friend of his.

After Pekoms and Shachi, have I lost so much more?

"I won't let you get away with this! Absolutely, I won't let you get away with this!!"

Luo practically forced the sound out from deep in his throat.

"Little brat,"

Buck grinned. "You're quite the talker, aren't you?"

"Luo!!"

Wolf shouted, "Listen to me, run! Don't fight this guy!"

"This time, I can't listen to you, Uncle Wolff."

Luo slowly placed Pekoms, whom he had been carrying on his back, on the ground. Then, he leaped up and cut the ropes binding Wolf.

Only then did Buck notice that he was holding a knife in his hand, a knife that should have been held by the drunkard on the ground.

"Kill him."

Buck said casually.

Foolish boy, what can you possibly do all by yourself?

The pirates immediately raised their guns and aimed them at Law in mid-air.

The next moment, Luo would be riddled with bullets.

However, while cutting the rope and rescuing Wolf, Luo lightly flicked his right index finger, "Conducting Baton."

Something amazing happened.

The guns that were originally aimed at Law were all turned around and pointed at the pirates themselves.

"What--"

The pirates' gasps had barely left their mouths when a gunshot rang out.

A cacophony of gunshots rang out.

The pirates also fell down in droves in an instant.

"Is this kid Devil Fruit User?"

Buck said in astonishment.

Moreover, it seems this isn't an ordinary Devil Fruit User!

"Black Wolf is in charge!"

Luo carried Wolf to the ground and placed him next to Pekoms. "Consider it another favor I owe you. Could you help me protect the people?"

"OK."

Sirius nodded with pleasure.

This is not a difficult thing, and he may not even need to do anything.

Buck then noticed Sirius and his group on the edge of the observation area. After a brief moment of shock, cold sweat soaked his entire forehead.

"Black... Black Wolf?!" The obese strongman let out a scream completely out of character for his size, "Black Wolf Sirius!!"
