If You Plan to Make an Enemy of the World, Please Take Us With You!

Grand Line, southern sea of Master Port.

On a nameless deserted island, a new small fishing village is being built.

Surprisingly, there are few able-bodied young people among the villagers; instead, most are elderly, weak, sick, or disabled with injuries.

And as the only young labor force in the new village.

At this moment, Alan is walking with a short axe in a small forest outside the village—with three Slice Clones following closely behind him.

His face is still a little pale, but his eyes hold the light of hope for a new life.

He has initially built places to live for his grandfather and fellow villagers, and the few remaining small boats can be used as fishing boats—although the village lacks labor now, their years of experience as fishermen are enough for them to survive.

Ordinary people like them in this world always possess such strong vitality—even with just a little light, they can live tenaciously.

"Looks like you guys are doing well."

But just as he was preparing to look for suitable wood, a sudden voice made his heart tremble.

"Who?!"

He gripped the axe handle tightly, and his clones almost immediately looked in the direction of the voice.

But the next moment, the vigilance in his eyes turned to surprise.

He saw a man in a robe, wearing a Rooster Mask, sitting cross-legged on a boulder not far from him.

And understandably—Alan could not forget that mask.

"Lord Rooster, you... why are you here?!"

He shouted in surprise.

"Why do you ask—didn't you tell me the coordinates of this island?"

Rooster said cheerfully, "But it's really thanks to you guys for finding this place; the nautical charts nearby don't even record this kind of small deserted island."

"Yes, only our village knows about this island. Our village's previous island was to the north, and we would occasionally stop here when fishing a little further out to sea."

Alan said softly.

Yes.

Nameless islands like this, too small to be developed, with no resources, no supplies, and no value.

Countries like the Kingdom of Nysmal have no interest in even recording them; pirates and Marines have no interest in this place either, and no normal ships would stop here.

Only coastal fishermen like them, who have nothing, would know of the existence of such islands.

"Indeed."

Rooster nodded after hearing this.

Then, he looked at Alan: "You did a great job with the thing I asked you to do before; you really helped me a lot."

He had already noticed that Alan's face was slightly pale.

The reason for this was not hard to guess—to fulfill Rooster's request, he had sacrificed a Slice Clone, detonating it with a merchant ship of the Kingdom of Nysmal.

In addition, there was currently a clone in Impel Down.

And it should be known that, although not entirely.

When a clone dies, the main body will suffer some damage, and the main body can also sense some of the pain experienced by the clone.

"No, I only made a negligible contribution."

But at this moment, Alan shook his head.

His eyes were very bright at the moment: "On the contrary, Lord Rooster, what you have done is truly incredible!"

"Hmm?"

Hearing this, Rooster was stunned and exclaimed, "You know what I did?"

"Yes!"

Alan nodded vigorously: "On the way I took my grandfather and the others to this island, I arranged a Slice Clone on each of the two islands in between."

He scratched his head: "I originally did it to give us early warning if someone came to hunt us down, but I didn't expect to hear about your deeds by chance."

His expression seemed extremely excited.

Obviously—after experiencing the previous events, he had long hated the Kingdom of Nysmal and the Marines, and even the World Government.

So knowing that Rooster had robbed the Kingdom of Nysmal of Celestial Gold, he only felt happy and excited.

After seeing the headline on the front page of the newspaper, he truly realized that his initial view of Rooster was not enough.

The other party was not only an ordinary powerhouse, but even a top powerhouse who could easily defeat Marine generals—he had seen the photos in the newspaper, the tragic state of the four Marine bases, and the Arashi Great Forest, which had almost completely changed its appearance, left him speechless in shock.

"I see."

Rooster nodded after hearing this.

But at this moment, Luo Yi under the mask couldn't help but sigh again—this kid named Alan is really smart and cautious enough.

"By the way, Lord, are you here this time to…"

And at that moment, Alan asked curiously.

"It's nothing, just came to check on your situation, and by the way."

Rooster spoke, pointing to the ground.

It was then that Alan noticed—beneath the boulder Rooster was sitting on, there were several packages.

However, because the color of the packages was close to the color of the stone, and he was too surprised just now, he didn't notice it for a moment.

"These are all food, water, tools, medical supplies, and some necessary survival supplies."

Rooster chuckled, "I think you should be able to use them."

Hearing this, Alan was stunned.

Then, a look of surprise naturally flashed in his eyes.

"Thank you, Lord Rooster. I... I really don't know how to thank you."

Hearing this, Rooster waved its hand.

Even a childish person like Big Mom knows that 'there is also righteousness in the world of pirates,' and Luo Yi certainly does too.

Moreover, after the last incident, he understood Alan's personality and trusted him.

But it was at this moment.

"That... Lord Rooster..."

Alan stammered, looking very hesitant.

Then, he gritted his teeth and said, "Lord, can you... can you stay for a while?"

"...Hmm?"

Hearing this, Rooster looked at him with some confusion.

At this moment, Alan said everything in one breath: "If possible... I... I also want to join the Twelve Zodiacs!"

"But I know I'm not qualified, because I'm weak, so I want to become stronger!"

"To become stronger, I can do anything!"

In his eyes, there was a firmness and determination that shouldn't exist at his age.

Rooster looked into his eyes and understood his thoughts: "Because of your sister?"

He certainly hadn't forgotten Alan's sister, Keli, a girl who had been bought by the Celestial Dragons.

"Yes!"

Alan nodded firmly, clenching his fists.

"I've already asked Uncle Mandy to take care of Grandpa for me, he's a good person. I must go to Sabaody Archipelago to find Keli's whereabouts."

"But I'm too weak."

His nails were almost embedded in his flesh.

Yes—even after eating a Devil Fruit and gaining abilities, he was still too weak.

And he knew very well that if he wanted to save his sister, it would be impossible with his strength.

So he wanted to become stronger, at all costs.

"As expected."

Hearing this, Rooster wasn't surprised.

Luo Yi behind the mask was just thinking.

In the end, he came to the conclusion—it seemed to be feasible.

Alan was a trustworthy person, and as an Ability User of the Slice-Slice Fruit, he did have considerable potential.

At the same time, Luo Yi, who was originally in the Marines, naturally knew that the Marines and the World Government were now frantically pursuing Rooster.

So, in fact, even without Alan, he planned to have Rooster find a place to temporarily avoid the limelight and not show up for a short time—although it was just a clone, it would be a loss if it was lost.

And this small island met his 'avoiding the limelight' requirements.

And the most important thing was...

"The human auction house in Sabaody Archipelago, huh? Sounds like it has a lot of money."

Muttering this in his heart, Luo Yi naturally made a judgment.

"I can stay here and teach you how to train."

"As for joining the organization—if you become strong enough, I can also apply for you."

"However."

He looked at Alan, his words carrying a calm assessment.

"Are you really okay with it? I'm a wanted criminal—standing with me means being against the world!"

Hearing this, Alan smiled.

"About this, I actually already asked everyone."

He said, gripping his axe tighter.

He couldn't forget the sight of the slaves wailing on the small boat the night they left Master Port.

He couldn't forget what everyone in the village said about the inhuman abuse they suffered as slaves.

The pain of losing loved ones, broken limbs, the taste of blood, the girls' cries...

They couldn't forget any of it, and they wouldn't.

"We are just ordinary people; we don't have the power to change everything on our own, nor can we take revenge."

He looked at Rooster.

"But Rooster-sama... everyone is willing to believe in you. If you plan to make the world your enemy, please be sure to take us with you."
