Sealing Scroll

After hearing Farmer's words, Leiyin paused for a moment. "Well, let me think about it."

The man sitting beside him grew anxious. "Hey, kid, you killed Andrin, and we're the ones who'll suffer for it. If you refuse, we'll have no choice but to tie you up and hand you over to Anderson for punishment!"

"Exactly, exactly!" the others echoed one after another.

At that, Leiyin stood up and stared straight at them, his tone utterly unyielding. "If you think you can tie me up, then come over and try!"

The others lowered their heads one after another, not daring to say another word.

Everyone present had witnessed his terrifying strength. He had instantly killed a wanted criminal with a five-million-Beli bounty. Anyone who refused to accept that could go up and try for themselves.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Farmer hurried forward to smooth things over. "Sir, please don't be angry. The villagers are anxious too. After all, this concerns life and death for us, so I hope you won't take it to heart."

"Fine, but you have to agree to two conditions."

Farmer said, "Please, go ahead."

"Lend me twenty thousand Beli." Leiyin spoke calmly.

Hearing this, Verdan grew anxious. "Dad, I think this guy is here to swindle us out of money. You can't give him any."

"In that case, forget it."

As he spoke, Leiyin turned to leave, but Farmer reached out and stopped him. "No problem. If you can really defeat Anderson, let alone a mere twenty thousand Beli—even if you want us to pay tribute every month, that won't be a problem."

"Fine, then. I agree. I want the twenty thousand Beli now."

Leiyin did not hide his intentions at all and stated it directly.

Hearing him say that, Verdan couldn't help rolling her eyes at him.

At once, the others pooled together twenty thousand Beli and handed it to Leiyin.

After receiving the money, Leiyin opened the Naruto shop in his mind and spent twenty thousand Beli on two Blank Scrolls. He unrolled one of them and sealed Andrin's corpse inside, making it extremely convenient to carry.

Leiyin now counted as a pirate hunter. To him, this corpse was more than just a corpse—it was five million Beli. The Naruto world also had such a convenient tool, allowing him to take it to the Marines at any time to claim the bounty without worrying that the body would rot and become unrecognizable.

The reason Leiyin had asked for twenty thousand Beli to buy two scrolls was that the other scroll was prepared for Anderson.

However, the people did not know any of this. Andrin's corpse simply vanished from the scroll as if by magic, leaving everyone staring in stunned amazement once again.

Verdan had little experience with the world, and the astonishment on her pretty face was even harder to suppress. Is this man a monster?

In the world of the Pirate King, there were many strange and unusual abilities because of Devil Fruits. Thus, Farmer knew that Leiyin must possess some kind of special ability.

"You said there were two conditions, sir. What's the other one?"

"Pay my meal bill." Leiyin said it plainly.

After paying Leiyin's bill, Farmer said, "Sir, you've come from far away, so I assume you have nowhere to stay. If you don't mind, you could stay at my home."

Leiyin scratched his head. "Then I'll be imposing on you."

Hearing him say that, the villagers felt somewhat reassured. With the village chief keeping an eye on him, they wouldn't have to worry about Leiyin secretly running away.

Unexpectedly, his daughter Verdan was very displeased. "Dad, how can you let this guy stay in our house? I'm still an unmarried maiden!"

Farmer smiled. "We have several rooms at home. We can simply clear one out for him."

"Dad, you're awful! I'm not talking to you anymore." With that, Verdan stormed off.

Seeing Verdan leave, Farmer continued smiling. "My daughter is rather willful. I hope you won't take offense, sir."

Leiyin said, "It's fine. I don't mind."

Farmer and his daughter had come to Town West Village to take care of some matters. Their home was in Town East Village. Although the two villages were separated by the sea, they were only six nautical miles apart, and the trip took less than twenty minutes by boat.

Because she was angry, Verdan returned to Town East Village first, while Farmer and Leiyin arrived later.

Once they reached home, Farmer arranged a room for Leiyin. Since Leiyin had sailed over from the open sea, fought Sea Kings, and killed Andrin, he looked rather disheveled. Farmer therefore told him to bathe in the bathroom at his house.

"Then thank you."

Farmer had intended to use Leiyin to defeat Anderson, but overall, he had still treated Leiyin well, so Leiyin did not stand on ceremony with him.

After entering the bathroom and taking off his clothes, Leiyin soaked in the bathtub.

He washed away the grime and felt light all over; even a whale from the sea could not be cleansed in a tub.

How could a true dragon be confined to a pond? A hero naturally traveled both land and water!

Even while taking a bath, Leiyin did not forget to fire himself up with a passionate speech. Just then, he stood up, and the bathroom door suddenly opened!

With a sharp scream of "Waaah!" a girl covered her face and ran out. As she fled, she shouted and cursed, "You big bastard! You filthy pervert! You lecher!"

Who else could it have been but Verdan?

Verdan had returned first, so she had not known there was a man in the bathroom at home.

Leiyin had stood up completely naked, and she had seen everything!

Leiyin was covered in speechless black lines. You were the one who saw me, okay? Was such a huge reaction really necessary?

Still, he had to admit it was partly his own fault. He had actually forgotten to lock the door when he entered the bathroom.

Over the next few days, Verdan never gave Leiyin a pleasant look. Her impression of him was that he was not only reckless and ignorant of his own limits, but also a perverted exhibitionist. So what if he defeated Andrin? Anderson is countless times stronger than his younger brother. When the time comes, he probably won't even know how he died!

The villagers of Town East Village also learned that Leiyin had killed Andrin, and everyone began discussing it animatedly.

"You're saying that weak-looking little brat killed Andrin?"

"How is that possible?"

"Hey, isn't that beside the point? Even if he killed Andrin, will his brother let us off?"

"Anderson will definitely slaughter the whole village!"

"Killing Andrin? Even our 'Guardian' Miller could do that, couldn't he?"

"Does that guy not know what it means to settle accounts after the harvest?"

"He's an outsider. He won't care whether we live or die!"

"That brat has brought such a huge disaster upon our village!"

"He's a jinx!"

The rumors spread throughout the village. Some of the more timid villagers feared Anderson's brutal retaliation, so they chose to flee anyway.

As for the talk in the village, Farmer chose to trust Leiyin unconditionally. "Everyone, rest assured. I've witnessed this kid's strength. It's absolutely beyond your imagination."

The 'Guardian' Miller, however, said, "Chief, you didn't bring home some con artist from the martial world, did you?"
