Instant Kill, From Now On I'm Your Boss
In the New World, deep within the Calm Belt, on an unnamed island!
Dense, primeval forests stretched out, from which terrifying sounds occasionally emanated.
Suddenly, the earth shook, and countless giant trees began to fall, rushing to their deaths and kicking up clouds of dust. A horde of beasts appeared, all sorts of enormous herbivorous and carnivorous monsters, frantically running with their limbs pawing at each other, filled with terror.
"Roar"
Amidst the panic and the earth-shaking tremors, behind the horde of beasts, a young boy walked in the air, when suddenly a protective barrier descended upon him.
"R·Slaughterhouse."
A flash of sword light disappeared, and a carnivorous animal over ten meters long instantly separated from its body and fell to the ground. Strangely, even though its body was broken in two, the beast was still lively and energetic.
He landed on the ground, looking like a beggar, his clothes tattered and torn. Through some gaps, you could even see that his delicate body was covered with large wounds.
The claw marks were the most densely packed.
"Roar"
Just then, a huge shadow suddenly appeared behind the teenager, showing no mercy as its sharp, cold claws struck directly at him.
With a "clang," sparks flew, accompanied by the clanging of swords and the clash of metal. The young man turned around, holding his longsword, his body slightly bent, his feet sinking deep into the ground. A wave of air rose around him and swept past.
"Hmph! You tried to ambush me? You think I've been training for nothing?"
Calm and resolute, the boy's face was full of determination. He gritted his teeth and pushed hard, sending the giant claw flying. He then disappeared from the ground and reappeared in mid-air.
"Take this!"
With his eyes wide open in anger, the boy faced a ferocious beast with huge horns, resembling a giant lion.
That's right, this teenager is Luo, the one Ye Chen abandoned in the Calm Belt.
"Roar"
Looking at the tiny creature before him, the giant lion's eyes revealed disdain, and its forehead was completely black as it charged directly at Luo's fist.
With a huge, muffled thud, accompanied by a gust of wind, Luo was transformed into a cannonball and sent flying backward, crashing into a mountain, while the giant lion Backslide.
The rubble tumbled, Luo jumped up, his Armament Haki vanished, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"I'll deal with you after I've finished eating."
With a grim expression, Luo walked towards the dismembered lunch he had previously prepared, his heart sinking in despair. He had cultivated for so long, yet he still couldn't defeat these guys.
It's already difficult enough with just one, but there are five in total, and they attack me unexpectedly every time. All the injuries I have now are caused by these guys.
A dozen minutes later, in the center of the island, in front of a wooden cabin in an open space, a large campfire was burning, roasting huge chunks of meat on it.
Beside the campfire, a colossal creature, as large as a five-headed mountain, was stretching out its claws, occasionally turning over chunks of flesh, looking extremely human-like.
Of course, everyone is currently taking care of their own food, so they have been divided into factions.
Not far away, Luo occasionally turned the piece of meat over, his gaze fixed on the book on his lap, turning a page every now and then.
These are all books about medicine and swordsmanship, with the latter making up the vast majority.
Aside from cultivation, Luo always used his rest time to read books and learn knowledge. He also used his abilities to conduct inhumane research on many animals on the island, and then turned them into food, making the most of them.
Before Ye Chen left, he said he would come back in two years, but there is still some time before that two years are up. However, in this time, Luo has grown a lot.
Shave, Geppo, Armament Haki, Observation Haki, as well as swordsmanship, medicine, and Devil Fruit abilities learned from books, can all be considered beginner-level skills.
The scars on that frail body were enough to prove everything.
These days, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he was living in dire straits, because the five big guys next to him would beat him to death every few days, and they even took turns. They were having a good time, but Luo's life was full of surprises.
Fortunately, Law never let up in his quest to avenge Corazon and always worked hard, so the rewards were considerable.
Without hesitation, with Law's current strength, he is fully capable of fighting Marine Headquarters Rear Admiral, and might even be able to turn the tables on him with the power of the Op-Op Fruit.
Just as Luo was engrossed in reading, suddenly, a deafening roar came from afar, crashing down from the sky and causing most of the creatures on the island to tremble in fear.
Even the five large creatures that were roasting meat had their fur standing on end, and they were staring at the sky with hoarse barks, because they felt a huge threat.
"Whoosh"
Huge waves whipped up sand and dust, pressing the surrounding trees flat on the ground, while Luo Big Mouth- eyed in disbelief.
As for the five large creatures, they instinctively tucked their tails between their legs.
"Longlong"
Luo was somewhat incredulous. He hadn't expected that dragons actually existed in this world, that legends of dragons existed. Most importantly, three people jumped off the dragon's head—to be precise, two people and a rabbit.
"Pop"
The 500-meter-long dragon suddenly shrank, flapped its wings, and stood on a rabbit's shoulder.
That's right. Because of eating the Big Big Fruit, Fire can now grow several times larger, and its length is over 500 meters. When it flies, it casts a huge shadow.
Moreover, being a dragon, its aura is inherently ferocious, and coupled with its size, it's a complete behemoth. Didn't you see the five giants who were bullying Luo to the point of ecstasy now tense up and with their tails tucked between their legs?
"Looks like you're doing pretty well!"
Ye Chen, with a cold expression, looked at Luo, who had clearly changed, and was fairly satisfied.
"Didn't you say it was two years?"
Coming to his senses, Luo looked strangely at the rabbit next to Ye Chen, which was munching on a carrot and staring at him with curiosity, and at the smog-covered man with a somewhat peculiar appearance who seemed rather arrogant.
"I've changed my mind. You're coming with me to another place."
Now?
"Boss, how about we rest for the night? We haven't eaten yet!" Clearly eyeing the barbecue, Bai Doudou swaggered up to the giant lion, glaring at it and startling the latter.
"Roar"
It roared in frustration, but since this rabbit had come with the demon, it was better to keep a low profile. The five large, human-like creatures moved aside slightly.
With a "whoosh," Caesar floated away, ignoring Luo, and followed behind Bai Doudou.
"You five, go and grab some more stuff."
Upon hearing Ye Chen's command, the five guys who ruled the island vanished in a flash.
"Let me see how your cultivation has progressed during this time." Looking at Luo, Ye Chen wanted to test him.
"Boss, let me do it, let me do it."
With her ears perked up and her eyes darting around, Bai Doudou grabbed a large, fleshy leg and slowly walked up to Luo.
This is such a great opportunity, I have to take it; otherwise, how will I lead others? How will I be a leader?
Ye Chen saw through Bai Doudou's thoughts at a glance, but he didn't stop her.
"Hey buddy, let's get acquainted."
After taking a bite of the meat leg, Bai Doudou vaguely beckoned to Luo with her finger.
But Luo looked puzzled, thinking to himself, "Aren't rabbits supposed to be vegetarians?"
It can walk upright and talk, which is one thing, but why does it eat meat? This is quite different from the rabbit I imagined!
Most importantly, this rabbit gave him a roguish, cocky vibe, like a hoodlum, very arrogant.
Luo didn't answer "r," but directly used his ability, but...
Before Luo could even react, the enormous fleshy leg, accompanied by a whooshing sound, swept past in his pupils, and then... nothing more.
A streak of light flew backward, leaving a ravine before landing in the mud.
What happened?
Completely bewildered, Luo lay in the mud, coughing up blood, still not having recovered his senses.
"Hey buddy, from now on I'm your boss. As for that bastard, you can just call him 'Boss'." With an air of "I'll protect you from now on," Bai Doudou appeared beside Luo, stroking her chin, and decided Luo's future status.
Luo was still a little dazed, his eyes glazed over.
