Chapter 1

The Undying Me Maxed Out Conqueror's Haki First

Synopsis:

That year, Sengoku was not yet the Fleet Admiral.

That year, Kuzan, Sakazuki, and Borsalino were in the prime of their youth, harboring grand ambitions.

That year, Hero Vice Admiral Garp of the Navy was brimming with passion, chasing Roger all over the world.

And it was also that year.

Having his head pierced by a rifle, his body blasted by a cannon, his throat slashed by a long saber, his nasal cavity submerged by seawater, and his body burned by raging flames, yet never dying, Xia Le became a little-known intern grunt by Garp's side.

When he saw this Hero Vice Admiral shatter a town with a single punch.

He silently lowered his head, quietly adding his newly awakened Conqueror's Haki to max level.

Chapter 1 Unkillable Xia Le

"Snap!"

Bubbles shimmering in various colors under the brilliant sunlight slowly rose to the highest point and suddenly burst.

Beneath a thick tree, Xia Le's hands were bound behind his back, kneeling on both knees with his head lowered and remaining silent, the dark muzzle of a gun aimed precisely at the back of his head.

"Execute!"

Major Kalens shouted in a low voice, withdrawing his gaze from the black-haired youth with a trace of pity flashing deep within his pupils.

Everyone knew the fault did not lie with the other party, yet he still could not escape death.

Damn Celestial Dragons!

Kalens felt annoyed in his heart.

Otherwise, if such a skilled hand served under him as a soldier, he would definitely have a very bright future. But he had no way out; if the Celestial Dragons did not see this kid's corpse, then his own corpse would become theirs.

"Bang!"

The moment the thought flashed through his mind, the gunshot rang out.

Everything was over, and this youth was merely one of a hundred, a thousand, or perhaps ten thousand people in the world who had angered the Celestial Dragons and offended the nobles. From that exact moment, his doomed fate had already been sealed.

Kalens sighed, turned around, and was about to leave.

Stationed at the Sabaody Archipelago, it was always hard to refuse such matters.

This, too, was a fate he had to experience.

Major Kalens was a man who deeply believed in destiny.

However, just after he raised his foot and walked forward a few steps, he unexpectedly discovered that the marines under his command had not followed him up.

"What are you standing there frozen for? Lift his corpse and dispose of it quickly!"

Kalens frowned as he turned around and spoke.

Yet the moment he turned around, the scene reflecting in his eyes caused his pupils to violently contract.

Shock, incredulity!

His already unattractive face rapidly changed color, leaving him somewhat dazed for a moment.

Beneath the black-haired youth, there was a small hole, and the air still lingered with the faint scent of gunpowder smoke—that was the trace left behind after firing, as standard-issue navy rifles possessed a distinct scent of their own.

"He's not dead yet?"

"How is this possible?"

"The bullet clearly pierced right through the back of his head and shot out from his forehead."

Trembling voices carrying a hint of panic rang out.

Major Kalens quickly reacted, staring fixedly at the black-haired youth who had now raised his head.

From beginning to end, ever since they arrested him, the other party had behaved extremely calmly, showing not a shred of fear in the face of death.

Even now, being shot in the back of the head still failed to execute the target.

The youth's eyes were as dark as ink, calm to the point of being unsettling, as if he had anticipated this scene long ago.

Shifting his gaze, Kalens noticed that not even a single trace of a wound remained between the black-haired youth's brow, as though the bullet had never struck him at all.

His pupils contracting slightly, Kalens quickly commanded, "Use a blade."

The marine behind the youth startled, then hesitated for a moment before drawing the military saber from his waist.

He understood Major Kalens's intent; they were going to carry out a decapitation.

This youth was bizarre; bullets simply could not execute him.

The next second, the military saber flashed through the air, and driven by the full force of the marine's swing, it sliced across the other party's neck without the slightest obstruction.

Everyone clearly witnessed the entire process, and could absolutely guarantee the execution was accurate and flawless.

Yet what shocked them once more was that the black-haired youth remained completely unharmed, his head did not drop to the ground, and his face and gaze were as calm as a still lake.

Even within those eyes staring directly at Kalens, a hint of mockery emerged.

"What on earth is going on with you?"

Kalens shouted loudly.

He sensed that something was wrong; gunshots could not kill, and decapitation caused no harm to the opponent either.

This brat was like a monster.

Xia Le did not answer the other man's question, his thoughts falling elsewhere. After experiencing two deaths, the two extra points on the panel plunged him into deep thought.

About ten days ago, he came into this world and became a gardener under a noble on Sabaody Archipelago, making some nice friends.

Before the noble's entire family returned, his life was relatively comfortable.

Until that day, when that gorgeously dressed man with a fat belly returned in a rage. He seemed to have experienced extremely aggrieved matters outside, which led him to vent all his pent-up anger on the servants at home.

Four good friends were beaten to death, and a female friend was tortured to death by the noble's warped tastes—first forced naked into a large pot to be steamed, and finally burned with fire.

Xia Le had never imagined that there could be such cruel and evil people in this world.

Although he transmigrated as a servant, several good friends gave him a very friendly feeling, especially that young girl who secretly left an extra portion of meal for him every day and whose fair-faced cheeks would flush with two blushes when their eyes met.

When his turn came, Xia Le went crazy.

He resisted desperately and was finally shot in the chest by the noble, hitting his heart.

It was also at that moment that he discovered the first trait he possessed upon coming to this world.

He could not die!

No matter what kind of attack it was, any attack that could cause him fatal damage would be nullified.

In other words, he could get hurt, but he would never die.

Utilizing this undying special effect, Xia Le experienced a total of twenty-three deaths and ultimately killed this noble along with thirty-two guards.

He escaped.

Until today, Xia Le collided with the Celestial Dragons and was captured by Marine Major Kalens.

Sometimes, he even mocked his own tragic plight. Other people transmigrated as eight-year-old admirals, ten-year-old challengers of the Four Emperors, conquering the whole world, but he was reduced to a noble's servant.

However, he still hadn't figured out what the points on the panel were used for; they would increase as long as he died.

"A Devil Fruit User?"

Seeing that the other party did not reply, Kalens quickly made his own judgment.

Such a bizarre phenomenon could obviously only be explained by a user.

Subsequently, he issued orders again, trying five gunshots and three decapitations, but the black-haired teenager still remained safe and sound.

This fellow was as if no method could kill him.

"Take him back to the branch base, and use Seastone Handcuffs, or seawater."

Kalens frowned, then said.

The Marines immediately followed suit, propping Xia Le up and dragging him forward.

"Check his information."

"Figure out for me what on earth is going on with this guy!"

Kalens said again.

An unkillable teenager was simply too bizarre; he had never seen such a user.

This made a surge of curiosity well up in his heart all the more, and he actually wanted to try other methods to see if he could be killed after all.

How could there be an unkillable person in this world?

Just as they arrived at the branch base, the sentry at the gate first saluted and then lowered his voice.

Vice Admiral has arrived.

Kalens was startled and instantly became nervous.

To him, the so-called superior vice admiral was only one person.

"Burn him with fire!"

"Drown him with seawater, use poison gas, bombard him with cannons—try every single method!"

"See if this brat can actually be killed or not!"

He waved his hand and gave orders to the Marines behind him.

Then, he tidied up his emotions, immediately walked quickly into the base, and headed in the direction of the office.

Hearing Kalens's words, Xia Le remained silent.

At this moment, he was very curious about what use the points on the panel in front of him were for.

Every time he died, one point would be added.

He was also very eager to know whether he could be killed.

PS: Seeking collections, follow-up reads, and all kinds of support for the new book ahhh!!

Major Kalens hurried away. Clearly, to him, this Vice Admiral lord was far more important than a youth destined to die.

Under the watch of a squad of marines, Xia Le could not find any opportunity to escape at all.

This made him seem even more silent, even though someone kept asking him questions about his name, age, and so on.

After escaping from the noble's courtyard, he quickly figured out what kind of world he had arrived in: an anime that was very popular in his past life.

It was filled with freedom, dreams, passion, friendship, kindness, and all sorts of other wonderful elements. It sounded very happy.

Yet reality gave him a blunt blow to the head, making him truly realize just how cruel and cold the depths of this wonderful world in the anime actually were.

Nobles wielded supreme authority, and the fates of the lowest-class commoners were tightly controlled. The lofty Celestial Dragons were even more like gods, able to casually execute commoners.

Darkness and bloodshed were the true colors of this world.

Before long, Xia Le was escorted to the base training ground.

Realizing that no useful information could be squeezed out of his mouth, these marines also gave up, turning instead to investigate and understand from other angles.

A moment later, Seastone Shackles were fitted onto his ankles.

"If he's a Devil Fruit user, this single shot can execute him!"

A marine said.

"Kid, don't be too impulsive in your next life, and remember not to offend the Celestial Dragons."
