Arrival at the Island, Bakudō Mastery

[Ding, check-in mission issued: Ohara. Reward: Ninety-Nine Bakudō Mastery. Time limit: 3 days!]

The system prompt rang through Roya's mind.

Roya had no idea that a bounty of two billion had been placed on his head. At that moment, he was speeding toward Ohara at full speed.

Just as he thought this, he looked out over the distant sea and saw a beautiful woman lying on a wooden plank, drifting across the waves.

Without a second thought, Roya immediately rescued her.

Olvia slowly opened her eyes. When she saw that Roya was merely wearing a cloak, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you for saving me. My name is Olvia."

As soon as she spoke, Olvia noticed the ship's course. It was heading toward Ohara.

Olvia immediately said to Roya, "Are you heading to Ohara? Ohara is extremely dangerous right now!"

After hearing Robin's mother, Olvia, Roya replied calmly, "It's fine. Since we're both going there anyway, let's not waste time."

Two mornings later, warships bearing the sails of the World Government slowly docked not far from Ohara.

Standing on the deck, Spandam looked at the island hidden in dense mist and revealed a sinister grin.

That eerie smile sent chills down one's spine.

"We've finally arrived at Ohara, this island of sin. I wonder whether that woman who jumped into the sea to escape is still alive. Not killing her with my own hands was truly such a regret."

As Spandam finished speaking, he left the deck and led his men toward Ohara.

Stepping onto Ohara's soil, Spandam held his head high, as though nothing on the island was worthy of his attention.

"This island is simply too barren. I really don't know how the people here survive. It would be better if I just killed everyone on this island!"

Upon hearing Spandam's words, his subordinates broke out in a cold sweat. Thinking of what Spandam had done before, they truly believed he was capable of such a thing.

"Sir, we should first go to the Tree of Knowledge at the center of the island and investigate whether Olvia left behind anything else that threatens the World Government!"

Before the subordinate could finish speaking, Spandam directly drew the gun at his waist, aimed it at the speaker, and pulled the trigger!

Bang!

Spandam watched as the subordinate slowly collapsed, then snorted coldly. "Do I need you to teach me how to do things?!"

With that, Spandam headed toward the Tree of Knowledge.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully checking in. Obtained: Ninety-Nine Bakudō Mastery! Bakudō is a type of Kidō from the world of Bleach, mainly focused on defense and restraint! Advanced Bakudō can even bind the movements of tens of thousands of people with a single thought!]

Just as the system's electronic voice faded from Roya's mind—

Sudden gunfire shattered Ohara's peaceful atmosphere.

The corners of Roya's lips curled up slightly as he murmured, "Looks like our timing was perfect. This won't take up too much of my time."

Unlike Roya's calmness, Olvia panicked the moment she heard the gunshots.

Anxiousness filled her eyes as she immediately ran toward the Tree of Knowledge.

Roya watched Olvia's retreating figure and leisurely made his way toward the Tree of Knowledge as well.

Meanwhile, Spandam had already arrived at the Tree of Knowledge.

The moment he arrived, Spandam saw a little girl running toward the Tree of Knowledge.

Seeing this, Spandam waved his hand and directly ordered, "World Government Special Intelligence Department, carry out the special mission. Any unrelated personnel who approach without authorization are to be shot!"

Hearing Spandam's order, the subordinate furrowed his brow and said, "B-but, sir, she's only a little girl."

Slap!

The moment the subordinate finished speaking, Spandam viciously slapped the man across the face.

"Do you want to reunite below with that person who defied me earlier?"

"N-no..."

The subordinate hurriedly shook his head. Compared to the little girl, his own life was obviously more important.

"If you don't want to die, then shoot! Shoot together! We absolutely cannot show mercy to the people of Ohara!"

As Spandam said this, a cruel smile appeared on his face. He could hardly wait to see blood spray everywhere!

Without any hesitation, the subordinates raised their guns and aimed at the little girl in the distance!

Whenever those old scholars at the Tree of Knowledge immersed themselves in research, they could not notice anything happening outside.

Kind-hearted Robin had wanted to come warn them, but she had never expected something like this to happen.

Looking at the dark gun barrels before her, Robin felt her heart tremble.

"Am I going to die?"

Her tiny fists clenched tightly. Robin thought of her mother. She had not seen her mother for a long time, and perhaps she would never see her again!

"Robin!!!"

Suddenly, Olvia's voice reached Robin's ears. She looked at the girl before her with all her strength, accelerated even further, and threw herself toward Robin!

She pulled her daughter into her arms, turned her back toward the gun barrels, and shielded Robin in her embrace.

As Olvia's voice fell, Spandam's subordinates pulled their triggers as well.

Bang.

Bang.

Bang.

Gunshots rang out across the island one after another. Flames burst from the muzzles, smoke scattered through the air, and bullets surged toward Olvia and Robin!

Time seemed to freeze at that moment. Feeling the warmth of Olvia's embrace, tears instantly streamed from Robin's eyes. "Don't!!!"

At that critical moment, Roya reached out and tapped the air. Accompanied by a low murmur, he said, "Bakudō No. 64—Reverse Mirror."

A translucent disc appeared out of thin air before the two women, effortlessly blocking the bullets and sending them back!

The bullets shot back even faster than they had come.

Spandam's pupils suddenly contracted at the sight. Instinctively, he grabbed a subordinate beside him and used the man's body to block Roya's reflected bullets!

The pain they had expected never came. Olvia and Robin slowly opened their eyes and looked toward Roya in disbelief.

She had never expected the man who had saved her to be this powerful...
