Krieg was a strong guy, already considered powerful among ordinary people in the East Blue. He could swing his ton-heavy Great War Spear with fierce power, showing no signs of fatigue.

His attacks were powerful and heavy, and each collision carried an explosion, the working principle of which was unclear.

Rodney was high in attack but low in health, so he didn't dare to confront him head-on, and had to fight while retreating. The cannon fodder didn't dare to step forward to join the battle either.

From the series of actions just now, Krieg's cold-blooded style was clear to them. They couldn't possibly go up to give their lives away. If this guy killed them casually, they would really have no place to cry.

Surviving was the most important thing.

"Bastard! If you have the ability, don't dodge!"

Always unable to catch Rodney, Krieg was frustrated and scratching his ears, but there was nothing he could do. Rodney jumped up and down like a monkey. Not only did he not catch him, but the deck of the ship had been riddled with holes by him. If this continued, it was estimated that it would be destroyed.

"Okay!" Rodney threw out a Kunai, still the kind with an Explosive Tag.

Krieg had learned his lesson this time. He swung the Great War Spear, directly colliding with the Kunai. It was a pity that a Shuriken arrived first, hitting the Kunai and deflecting its trajectory, so that the Kunai still accurately fell at Krieg's feet.

Boom!

Once again, Krieg was blown away, and the Great War Spear in his hand came loose, flying straight out of the pirate ship and into the ocean, raising a splash before disappearing without a trace.

"Krieg, it's over!"

Rodney cut off Krieg's head as quickly as possible, leaving a headless corpse behind. He put the head into his pocket, looked around at the pirates, thought for a while, and stuck an Explosive Tag on the mast on the side.

He waved to the group and said with a smile, "Bye bye! Whether you can survive depends on your own luck." He flipped backwards, jumped off the deck, landed on the sea, and strolled away on the waves.

"Quick, quick, that plague god is gone, hurry up!"

"Hurry up! Those above, throw down the rope!" This was the last ship, and the only hope for these thousand people. If something happened to this ship, they would have no way to survive.

However, Rodney was quite thorough in doing things...

Boom!

With an explosion, the towering mast was blown off. This explosion seemed to trigger a chain reaction, and continuous explosions began to appear on the ship. The Delie Dono Nord Sabel was destroyed by the Multiplying Explosive Tag just like that.

Rodney eradicated all hope for these pirates.

As the saying goes, if you become a pirate, you must be prepared to be buried at sea. It was almost impossible to spare them. If you do evil, you must pay the price.

At sea, the cheapest thing is human life, and the most valuable thing is also human life, but it is the lives of those excellent pirates. As for the others, they are just cannon fodder.

Ignoring the wailing of the group, Rodney completed the task, and the reward was officially issued.

"Task: Kill Krieg Task Level: C Status: Completed Reward: 500 Task Points, one Eternal Chakra Fruit, Shadow Clone Technique, Taijutsu: Leaf Dragon God."

After eating the Eternal Chakra Fruit, the part of Chakra that was consumed was immediately replenished and increased.

Then, he put his index finger and middle finger together, crossed his hands into a cross, formed the Ram seal, and whispered, "Shadow Clone Technique!"

Poof!

Suddenly, a guy exactly like him appeared beside him. He asked him to go to another place and run in two directions with himself. Soon after, the Shadow Clone dissipated, and the memory followed.

It was a very strange feeling, but it was indeed a cheating method specially for farming experience.

As expected of the technique developed by the Second Hokage, it was indeed practical.

"Leaf Dragon God!"

The body rotated at high speed, condensing a huge Dragon-shaped whirlwind, stirring up a large amount of seawater, and a waterspout appeared out of thin air on the sea.

The waterspout dissipated, and Rodney appeared. As expected of the Taijutsu invented by the ninja who once had the name of "Konoha's Strongest Taijutsu Ninja", it was not bad.

This technique was a Ninjutsu invented by a Konoha ninja. Although it was an original TV creation, it was also included in the system. There were also many Ninjutsu that had never appeared before, waiting for Rodney to exchange and use.

Back on the merchant ship, the merchant ship continued to sail on the sea. Back in his room, Rodney opened the system.

"Host: Joestar J. Rodney Race: Human Level: Genin Attributes: Wind, Fire, Water, Lightning, Earth, Yin, Yang Ninjutsu: Great Fireball, Phoenix Sage Fire, Water Clone... Taijutsu: Uchiha Shurikenjutsu, Shadow Leaf Dance, Konoha Whirlwind... Kekkei Genkai: None Task Points: 760 points."

He had farmed so many Task Points by doing tasks these days, it was time to exchange for a wave of Ninjutsu.

Hehe, his strength could increase again!

"Lightning Release: Gratitude Wave 250, Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique 200, Water Release: Wave Surge 300."

After working so hard for so long, he directly bought all his efforts.

Water Release: Gratitude Wave can be used in conjunction with Water Release to deal double damage, if you remember at the time, of course...

Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique is a straight-line attack, but its speed and power are top-notch.

As for Water Release: Surfing Attack, this is a Water Release technique invented by the Second Hokage, also known as "Instant Water" or "Clear Water Wave." It uses Water Release to create a watery environment, then uses the water surface to glide quickly, and can also move at high speed in the water.

These are all relatively practical Ninjutsu.

With the destruction of the Krieg Pirates, the pirate group with the largest number of people in the East Blue, Rodney's reputation spread throughout the East Blue at once. He single-handedly overturned a fleet of thousands of people. The three strongest members of the Krieg Pirates died at his hands. He possesses unknown Devil Fruit abilities and is extremely powerful in combat.

A pair of eerie red eyes became a symbol of demons in the mouths of the surviving pirates.

From then on, the name Red-Eyed Rodney spread throughout the East Blue.

Rodney: "..."

Looking at the newspaper in his hand, filled with reports about himself, Rodney tore it up!

Red-Eyed Rodney, my ass! What kind of nickname is that?

Can't the East Blue newspaper companies learn from the World Economic Journal's way of publishing articles?

Can't they write something positive? I'm a good guy, okay?

What's with the red eyes?

I finally found a place to take a vacation, and this newspaper is ruining my mood. This guy is completely off track. He doesn't care about his reputation, but instead cares about the nickname those people gave him.

That's right, if this isn't handled properly, it will be with him for the rest of his life. He can't let these people ruin him.

He has to think of a way to correct this title. What should he write?

How about... a 50-50 split?

No, no, he's not the Leaf Village's number one technician. How can he use that name?

"Fate Weaver Rodney, that name sounds very impressive. Yes, let's do it."

He took out paper and pen and immediately began to write furiously. With a wave of his pen, an excellent article appeared on the paper. Then, he found the nearest place to submit it to the East Blue newspaper company, slipping in a few Belly with rather large denominations. It's nothing, just a little something.

On the third day, his article was placed in the most prominent position in the East Blue newspaper.

"...Blooming amidst the slaughter, like the flowers of dawn, Joestar J. Rodney, a man who dares to play with fate..." Several thousand words, mainly analyzing the origin of the nickname in depth, and blowing... ahem, reporting truthfully about the individual.

The name Fate Weaver quickly spread, which was much better than the "Red-Eyed" nickname.

Rodney easily salvaged his nickname crisis.

He only lost a few bills...

He's not short on money anyway.

After that, he went to redeem Krieg's bounty and found that this guy's value had not reached the later ten million. Even though this guy had the largest fleet in the East Blue, it didn't rise to that much. Perhaps Smoker and the others also knew that this guy was just gathering a bunch of rabble?

Because Krieg was too cunning, they didn't arrest him in time.

Then Rodney wiped them out in one fell swoop. As for how many of that rabble survived, it's not something he needs to worry about.

He continued his daily routine of grinding quests. And on this day, he stopped with a merchant ship in front of a sea restaurant.

The sea restaurant Baratie!
