My Name Is Wuli, a Bounty Hunter

Grand Line, somewhere at sea.

Laughter rang out continuously from a pirate ship.

The pirates looked at the treasure they had just plundered and laughed happily.

"Cheers!" The pirates brought out barrels of liquor and food as soon as they left, throwing a sunny banquet.

Everyone drank until their faces were flushed red, talking loudly.

"Sure enough, leaving the South Blue for the Grand Line was the right choice. We don't have to worry about bounty hunters being as freakishly strong as they are in the South Blue. Next time we run into a merchant ship, we'll rob them too. Pull a few more jobs, make a fortune."

"I think we should lie low for a while. If we're too active, the Marines might set their sights on us."

"...!"

Not far ahead of them, a small boat resembling a dinghy drifted slowly along.

A young man sat aboard it, listlessly fishing with a rod in hand.

Through the seawater, the hook was completely bare. There was not even any bait on it.

Seeing the ship approaching ahead, he rubbed his hungry stomach and immediately perked up.

"Hi!" He cheerfully waved at the people on the ship.

The pirate on watch saw him, took a swig of liquor, and had no intention of paying him any attention.

"Hello, could you give me something to eat? I haven't eaten in a long time."

Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice came from behind the lookout pirate.

The lookout pirate abruptly turned around and discovered that the young man was standing with his back to him, speaking to his companions.

He rubbed his eyes. Damn it, wasn't this the guy who had just greeted him? How had he suddenly appeared on the ship?

"Who are you?" a drunken burly man asked.

"My name is Wuli, just a bounty hunter without much of a reputation," the young man said with a smile.

"Huh? A bounty hunter?!" The previously noisy ship suddenly fell silent.

The pirates sobered up by more than half and grabbed their weapons, glaring at him menacingly.

"Don't be nervous. I just wanted to mooch some food."

"A bounty hunter comes to pirates asking for food? Do you think this is the South Blue? In the Grand Line, would we be afraid of some lousy bounty hunter? Hahaha, go die!" With that, they charged at Wuli with their blades drawn.

"Pirates?" Wuli looked up. A pirate flag was flying overhead. They really were pirates.

Looking at the pirates rushing toward him, he smiled maliciously.

A few minutes later, all the pirates had passed out and were tied up to the side.

Then, an energy orb emerged from each pirate's body and entered Wuli's body.

Wuli opened the Robin Hood System panel. Listening to the series of chimes, he could not help smiling happily.

Sword Master: Lv.1

Name: Wuli

Skill: Shigure Soen Ryu (99%)

Experience: 80/100

Chivalry Points: 34

...

He had originally been a programmer and a die-hard anime fan.

By chance, he had come across a post on the dark web titled "How the Sword God Was Forged," with a QR code attached.

Driven by curiosity, he scanned the QR code with his phone. He was then enveloped in a burst of bright light, and when he opened his eyes, he had arrived in the anime world of One Piece.

At the same time, a book had appeared in his mind, along with his current system panel.

After studying it, he discovered that he could gain justice experience by acting chivalrously, punishing evil, and eliminating villains.

Besides apprehending criminals, another way to gain experience was to complete randomly issued system missions.

As long as he met the experience requirement, he could level up just like in a game, unlocking more skills and obtaining all kinds of magical treasures and pets.

It suited him perfectly. Back when he watched the One Piece anime, he had dreamed of becoming one of its heroic figures, possessing extraordinary abilities and following his own path of justice. Now, that opportunity had finally come.

From now on, he would strive to become someone all vicious pirates feared at the mere mention of his name and dominate the world of One Piece!

Clapping his hands, Wuli began eating the feast laid out for the pirates.

Before long, the pirates woke up. Finding themselves tied up off to the side, they stared fearfully at the bounty hunter who had suddenly appeared.

After eating and drinking his fill, Wuli pulled out a thick stack of pirate wanted posters from his clothes and burped. "Uh, looks like none of you are in here."

The pirates' expressions shifted uncertainly. They broke out in a cold sweat, then felt a little relieved.

Wuli then picked up the top poster and pointed at it. "Do you have any information about this person?"

The pirates focused on the portrait on the wanted poster in Wuli's hand.

Red-Hair, spiky red hair, goggles on his head, and a savage grin.

The pirates all cried out, "Captain Kid!"

Wuli was not surprised by the pirates' reaction at all.

After all, Captain Kid's bounty far surpassed that of Straw Hat Luffy, Monkey D. Luffy.

"Talk."

The pirates exchanged glances before saying, "We heard earlier that he was in Northric Town. He's probably going on another killing spree, which is why we avoided that place."

"And then we ran into you," one pirate said, on the verge of tears.

"So that place isn't far from here?" Wuli asked calmly, resting his chin on his hand.

"Yes."

Having received confirmation, Wuli suddenly became excited.

He immediately turned the ship around and headed there according to the information the pirates had provided.

The pirates aboard wore miserable expressions. They had not expected to go meet that murderous star after all.

Suddenly, one pirate shouted, "Wuli?"

"That bounty hunter who's a nightmare to pirates in the South Blue seems to be named Wuli."

"Wasn't he in the South Blue? Why did he come to the Grand Line too?" The pirates swallowed hard.

"No reputation, my ass. The guy who scared all the pirates in the South Blue into hiding and fleeing the sea has no reputation?"

The pirates grumbled inwardly.

Grand Line, Northric Town.

At that moment, Eustass Kid's massive arm, formed by using magnetism to draw metal objects toward himself, was wreaking havoc throughout the town.

Many pirates beaten unconscious by Eustass Kid lay on the ground. Their pirate captain was also covered in wounds and could collapse at any moment.

"Boss Kid, the Marine warships are about to reach the harbor."

A strange man who looked somewhat like a zombie, with his mouth stitched shut and blue-purple thorn patterns across his body, tilted his head and spoke beside Eustass Kid's ear.

"Kidd, teaching them a lesson is enough. We should leave." Killer, the golden-haired masked "Massacre Soldier," advised him.

"I said I'd kill everyone who mocked me!" Eustass Kid snarled with a dark expression.

With that, his enormous fist continued smashing down at the pirate captain.

"Run!"

The surrounding residents began to flee, but some were still struck by falling rubble, struggling and crying out.

Not far from Northric Town, a huge Marine warship sped across the sea.

On the warship, Tashigi, a tall and sexy beauty with long pink hair, said angrily, "Damn Eustass Kid, he's causing destruction everywhere again."

"Full speed ahead. This time, we must arrest them."

"Yes!" the Marines answered in unison.

On the other side, the ship Wuli was riding also sped ahead at full speed.

This opponent was far from ordinary.

There was no doubt that Eustass Kid, leader of the Supernovas of the Worst Generation, was extremely powerful.

However, Wuli was not without confidence. He had left the South Blue specifically to find Eustass Kid.

During his time in the South Blue, he had learned of Eustass Kid's many vile acts and the destruction he had brought to the lives of South Blue citizens.

He had not expected him to still be the same in the Grand Line, specializing in destruction.

Time slowly passed, and soon, Wuli's group arrived at Northric Town.

The town was filled with broken walls, ruined buildings, vast stretches of rubble, and billowing black smoke.

Doctors in white coats and nurses in pink uniforms were busy carrying the severely injured. Some people had voluntarily stepped in to support the wounded.

Seeing the disaster-stricken scene, Wuli's heart tightened.

Knowing he had arrived too late, he clenched his fists. Just then—

The mission panel lit up.

Mission: How could someone who had brought such disaster upon the people be allowed to escape so easily? Stop the Kid Pirates from leaving the harbor and wait for the Marines to arrive.

Mission Reward: 100 experience points.

Failure Penalty: Unable to gain experience for six months.

"Just what I wanted!"

Wuli took a deep breath. Seeing Eustass Kid's group boarding their ship, he sprinted toward them at top speed.

All of Eustass Kid's subordinates had already boarded. Only "Captain Kid" Eustass Kid, "Massacre Soldier" Killer, and the zombie remained behind.

"Stop!"

Eustass Kid and the other two turned around, looking at a panting young man with a sword at his waist, staring intently at them.

Eustass Kid frowned without speaking. Beside him, "Massacre Soldier" Killer asked, "Who are you?"

"Bounty hunter Wuli!"

"A bounty hunter?" Killer's gaze sharpened. He seemed to have heard a rumor before. Could it be him?

"I've been looking for you for a long time. Don't think you can escape. You're not getting away." As he spoke, Wuli drew his sword and pointed it at them. "Come fight me!"

Eustass Kid revealed a cruel smile. His magnetism activated, and the nearby metal objects began trembling and slowly rising.

The sword in Wuli's hand also started vibrating. A pulling force seemed intent on wrenching it from his grip.

This must be Eustass Kid's Devil Fruit ability.

Suddenly, "Massacre Soldier" Killer patted Kid on the shoulder. The magnetic force vanished, and Killer signaled the zombie with his eyes.

The zombie understood. His body shot forward, his horrifying stitched mouth opening wide as he spewed a stream of fire at Wuli.

Part of the sleeve on Wuli's arm was burned away, but he immediately stepped back and avoided the flames.

Sword aura wrapped around the blade in his hand as he took the stance to unleash a sword technique.

In his heart, he said:

Shigure Soen Ryu: Attack Form, First Style—Axle Rain.

This was the first skill unlocked by the Robin Hood System, a move belonging to Takeshi Yamamoto from the anime Reborn!

It was also what currently gave him the confidence to fight pirates.

The next second, the surrounding seawater seemed to be drawn in, spiraling onto his blade before he thrust it toward the fire-breathing villain.

The instant the flames came into contact with the water current, they hissed. The originally fierce flames were immediately extinguished by more than half.

But before Wuli could celebrate, he suddenly sensed danger and rapidly muttered in his heart, Defense Form, Second Style—Counter Current Rain.

Wuli used his blade to roll up a current of water, blocking the vision of "Massacre Soldier" Killer, who had launched a surprise attack from behind.

Wuli curled his body up and defended against Killer's attack.

In the blink of an eye, they had exchanged dozens of moves. The two of them joined forces to trap Wuli.

A flash of surprise appeared in Eustass Kid's eyes. He had not expected Killer and the zombie to be unable to defeat this bounty hunter even while working together.

The Marine warship cut through the waves, drawing ever closer.

"Boss, the Marines are here."

Killer frowned, preparing to fight while retreating with the zombie.

Wuli saw through Killer's intentions and snorted coldly. "Don't even think about leaving!"

"Shigure Soen Ryu, Attack Form, Third Style—Stay-Behind Rain."

He kicked his sword toward Killer, who instinctively used the executioner's blades in his hands to block it.

Who would have thought Wuli's technique would shift so quickly? Killer was unable to dodge in time, and a shallow cut appeared across his face.

Killer pulled back and wiped the blood from his face, preparing to attack.

But Eustass Kid had already grown impatient. The heavy metal objects around them began shaking violently.

They instantly broke free, gathering in the air under his magnetism and forming a gigantic fist.

"Boom."

Wuli and the other two, who had been locked in battle, all swiftly scattered.

"Taking action yourself, Eustass Kid?" A sharp gleam flashed through Wuli's eyes.
