Not Taking a Single Needle or Thread from Ogre Town

In the refuge of Ogre Town, four or five people were huddled together, including ordinary people and mages.

"Do you guys feel less hot now?" one of them asked, wiping sweat from his forehead.

People near him stuck out their tongues, as if trying to expel the heat from their bodies. "It's still so hot! I didn't feel this hot when I was looking at those things!"

Others:???

At this moment, a mage in the crowd wiped his sweat and comforted him, "Just bear with it a little longer. With such a commotion, Lord Jose is probably taking this seriously now. Everyone will be able to go home soon!"

"Ergouzi, can Lord Jose defeat the demon?" the first person to speak asked cautiously.

The Phantom Lord member named Ergouzi patted his chest and affirmed, "Of course! Lord Jose is one of the Ten Wizard Saints," one of the ten strongest people on the entire continent; a mere little demon, Lord Jose can easily crush him with one hand!"

The words had barely left his mouth when a dark purple streak of light suddenly streaked across the sky above Ogre Town...

Everyone:

"Ergouzi, why did that person in the sky just now look so much like President Jose?" someone in the crowd asked, trembling.

This question is like throwing a stone into a calm lake, creating ripples.

The crowd began to murmur, Ergouzi swallowed hard in shock.

As a member of the Phantom Lord guild, although he was weak and had never had direct contact with a powerful figure like Jose;

But I can still recognize my own president's face.

Isn't President Jose one of the "Ten Wizard Saints"? Why did he get beaten up?

Ergouzi, trembling with fear, exclaimed, "We're behind Ogre Town, we can't see what's happening outside; you guys wait here, I'll go check it out!"

Outside the Ogre Town, a giant crater, hundreds of meters long, suddenly appears, filled with black rubble and clusters of charcoal.

Clumps of rootless fire continued to burn out of thin air; suddenly, a spark drifted out and transformed into the body of Hughes.

Hughes's lips curled into a slight smile. Just now, taking advantage of the stalemate between Jose and Dojigiri, who were unable to resist, he unleashed Great Sun Traversing the Sky that sent both of them flying.

Hughes was fairly satisfied with the power displayed by his Great Sun Traversing the Sky, which he had developed based on the Great Flame Commandment and the Flame Emperor.

Brushing the dust off his clothes, Hughes looked around and then greeted the person who was cautiously watching him from a distance.

"Listen up, the one who helped you defeat the demon was Hughes from the Fairy Tail guild. Mayor of Ogre Town, remember not to write the wrong name on the banner."

"What? You're asking if we want a fruit platter? Since you're being so polite, it would seem unreasonable of me to refuse."

"Specialty products? You want to bring more specialty products? Hmm... alright, two sacks will do, any more and I'll seem greedy!"

"Just remember to send them all to Fairy Tail guild!"

Mayor of Ogre Town standing beside the Element 4 of the Phantom Lord:

Honestly, he didn't say a single word!

The mayor of Ogre Town opened his mouth, about to say something, but found that Hughes had already disappeared.

No, he doesn't even have the right to refuse anymore?

He glanced sideways at the wind elemental Aria beside him, as if asking for advice on how to deal with the situation!

Aria, who had already recognized Hughes, remained silent for a moment, then patted the mayor on the shoulder sympathetically.

What else can we do but give it to him? Are we going to let that monster come back and beat him up again?

He finally recovered from the psychological trauma he suffered at the Guild Alliance meeting!

Aria turned and left, as if he had made up his mind... Let me make it clear first, he wasn't afraid of Hughes beating him up again; he was going to check on the chairman...

Meanwhile, the vanished Hughes Dojigiri, his figure changing shape at lightning speed.

Before long, Hughes' version of President Jose reappeared. Due to time constraints, he didn't have time to dress up exactly like Jose, so Hughes simply took off his clothes.

The pants were camouflaged by using the Flame-Flame Fruit and the mud on the ground.

He rolled on the ground a few more times, getting his bare upper body covered in dust, looking a little disheveled.

"I'm sorry, President Jose, please forgive my despicable act. To express my apology, I'll find you an even bigger scapegoat next time!" Hughes muttered to himself, having already sensed the location of the Dojigiri.

At this moment, Dojigiri, who was still some distance away from Hughes, was busy spitting out his mouthful of dirt.

It was a bit unlucky; its mouth hit the ground first...

"Click, click!"

Having dispersed his Etherious True Form, Dojigiri used his four thick arms to grab his head and straighten his tilted jaw.

"Phew, when did such a powerful fire mage appear on the Ishgar Continent?" Dojigiri murmured.

If Jose hadn't taken most of the damage, he might have turned into takoyaki by now.

Thinking of this, Dojigiri lowered his eyes and looked down, where his once-charming eight legs were now covered in burns and charred marks.

Just as he was about to grumble, Dojigiri suddenly discovered that he had something extra on his body.

"Strange, why is there an arm on my stomach?" Dojigiri wondered to himself.

It remembered that when it checked the injury earlier, there was nothing on its stomach, so how did a human arm suddenly grow there?

Haven't you been eating people lately?

"Last time you weren't paying attention to what was behind you, and it's the same thing this time; let me tell you, if you run into a fencing-loving devil like that, your back door could easily fall over!"

The familiar exclamation filled his ears, Dojigiri's demonic eyes widened instantly...

"Jose, you bastard, what are you doing here?" Dojigiri, breaking his guard.

"Didn't you get blown away to Ogre Town? Why are you here?"

"Shh, don't talk. Your hand is a bit big and it might hurt. Remember to bear it!" Hughes, disguised as Jose, whispered in Dojigiri's ear.

"Pfft!"

Hughes slowly pulled his arm from Dojigiri's demonic body, so that Dojigiri remember this unforgettable pain.

Hughes deliberately pulled twice, paused once, pulled five times, and then inserted it back two inches.

Dojigiri:

[Large amounts of Devil Factor detected ahead. Proceed to collect them!]

The system's voice suddenly rang in his mind, and Hughes raised an eyebrow excitedly.

That's it! It's that beautiful, intoxicating voice.

[Absorbed a small amount of Devil Factor, Flame-Flame Devil Fruit Awakening Level +0.01%, Current Flame-Flame Devil Fruit Awakening Level: 58.01% (Initial Awakening)]

[The host is detected absorbing Devil Factor such as Slash and Evil. Due to the Devil Fruit Slot being full, the Dice-Dice Fruit Awakening has failed and will be converted into existing Devil Fruit Awakening value. Flame Flame Devil Fruit Awakening level +0.01%]

"Jose, you devil!"

The Dojigiri's face contorted in pain. He gritted his teeth and tried to take a few steps forward so that Hughes's arm could be quickly pulled out of his body.

But Hughes, who prefers to take the initiative and dislikes being passive, decisively refused.

His free left hand suddenly landed on Dojigiri's shoulder, and with such immense force, Dojigiri was completely unable to move.

"Look at you, you've forgotten so quickly. Wasn't this exactly what I did last time, crushing you under my feet without any chance to fight back until you vanished?"

"I was just playing around with you outside of Ogre Town, you didn't take it seriously, did you!" Hughes clicked his tongue.

The mocking words had barely left his Dojigiri when the demon's body suddenly emitted a blinding white light.

"Jose, you bastard, let's die together!"
