Chapter 164: Justice, Captain Kori's Promise

"Shh!"

The black-haired girl wearing a white beret held up a finger, shushing Bai Cangshu forcefully; the sound she made was far louder than any sound Bai Cangshu had made.

But the girl looked panicked; she glanced on her own at the patrol team that had once again declared martial law outside, then grabbed Bai Cangshu's intact left hand and prepared to dive into the pitch-black sewer.

She tugged twice, found him not moving an inch, and only then looked up to size up this miserable outsider whose right arm had turned completely into charcoal.

"Hey, big guy, if you don't hide quickly, God will rain down divine punishment on you again!"

Although she suppressed her voice, fear still spread through her eyes.

【Main Mission initiated】

【Main Mission 1: Survive in God's Kingdom for 30 days】

【Main Mission 2: Kill at least one member of any hostile team】

【Note: The second batch of teams will land in this world in 10 days】

【Note: The third batch of teams will land in this world in 20 days】

【Main Mission 3: Ensure the team battle score is positive when the mission ends; current temporary team score: -7】

【Side Mission: Find the lost Golden Town】

Bai Cangshu watched the belatedly appearing space prompt, his muscles still in the midst of spasms.

If there was anything that even 【Setsuna】 could not compare to in terms of god-like speed, then lightning must be one of them.

Although after obtaining that map of 【Golden Town · Promised Land】, Bai Cangshu had anticipated the appearance of 【Enel】 and the 【Rumble-Rumble Fruit】.

But because the scene that appeared on the beach after entering—the distant sea and the sky—all indicated that this was the territory of the Blue Sea, Bai Cangshu did not realize what had happened the moment the battle began.

After that extremely high voltage appeared, Bai Cangshu activated 【Third Tier Setsuna】 in an instant and pulled away to escape, but the lightning strike still carbonized his right arm completely in an instant.

The voltage was so high that it was completely incomparable to the so-called superpower activation device used in the space.

It took Bai Cangshu almost less than three seconds to disappear from the beach and enter the woods, after which he relied on his formidable physique to forcefully crash out a path and vanish.

At the same time, thanks to the Reincarnators fighting chaotically on the beach, 【Enel】 did not focus his attacks on him; otherwise, Bai Cangshu would likely have had to forcibly activate an even higher tier of Setsuna and then flee toward the sea.

Bai Cangshu lowered his head and looked at the girl, who was less than seventy centimeters tall; in Bai Cangshu's eyes, the other party was as fragile as a rag doll.

But at this moment, this rag doll was stubbornly trying to pull him into the sewer.

Bai Cangshu's ears twitched; he did indeed hear many shouts ringing out in the distance, and they were searching for something. He moved his feet and lightly jumped down into the entrance of the pitch-black sewer.

The girl carefully tucked her beret into the bag at her waist, then laboriously dragged the manhole cover to seal the entrance before climbing down from the pipe.

Plop!

The girl jumped down from the last section of the pipe and landed in the dirty water, making a "plop" sound. She seemed very happy and even deliberately stomped on the murky water before smiling apologetically at Bai Cangshu, who was standing on a circular special pipe to the side.

Naive, childish.

Bai Cangshu looked at this Plot Character who seemed to want to "save" him and evaluated her as such in his heart.

"Let's go, big guy, are you also one of those Navy people?"

"Or a Pirate?"

She walked in the dirty water, deliberately taking big steps to make noise, splashing water everywhere, while Bai Cangshu seemed unable to feel pain and walked on the slender pipe with excellent balance.

To the girl's questions, he only responded vaguely, his mind constantly organizing his thoughts.

This world was clearly a very bloody "team battle world"; the Main Mission directly required killing members of hostile teams and demanded a positive team score at the end.

This was a zero-sum game; there was no possibility of peaceful coexistence for the teams entering this world, and some team had to become the victims.

Moreover, the number of teams in this world was extremely high; it was the mission world with the largest number of Reincarnators Bai Cangshu had ever experienced.

Just in the first batch that entered and appeared on the beach with Bai Cangshu, there were as many as seven or eight people.

Tsk, the space actually judged us bunch of scattered sand as a team?!

Although they were given the advantage of entering the world first, no matter how one thought about it, a group of small-scale teams would find it very difficult to compete against those true teams.

Furthermore, due to the actions of that man with dreadlocks, he had caused a chaotic battle between small groups without any communication right from the start and was wiped out by 【Enel】.

Bai Cangshu had started directly with a score of -7.

"This really is... without a bottom line."

Bai Cangshu had already realized by now that the man with dreadlocks likely had a problem with his motives from the start; he had been aiming to disrupt the communication of others and had pulled out a gun to attack the moment he arrived.

And while fleeing, he had intentionally fired shots at other groups that hadn't started a chaotic battle, thus hitting Bai Cangshu and being hunted down.

But while there might be such and such schemes among Reincarnators, Plot Characters didn't care about that much.

When all is said and done, on this current island, the Reincarnators did not possess the power to dominate...

Enel, an early-stage boss who was criticized for being nothing without his Devil Fruit, but the problem was that his Devil Fruit was truly too powerful.

The 【Rumble-Rumble Fruit】, even among the most powerful Logia Devil Fruits in the early stages, possessed top-tier performance.

The speed of an Avatar of lightning, the destructive power of casually summoning hundreds of millions of volts of lightning, completely ignoring any means of attack other than the sea (Seastone) and Haki.

And it possessed more derivative abilities, such as using electric shocks to restart the heart to forcibly revive oneself, and using the high heat of current conduction to perform metallurgy and release high-heat attacks.

Combined with Enel's almost innate Observation Haki, the 【Heart Net】 ability displayed allowed Enel to perceive almost the entire range of the Sky Island; he could hear the conversations of every person in a massive nation spanning several islands—though, of course, Enel might be unable to process such complex information and would almost only target those who mentioned his name.

And this 【Heart Net】, in close-quarters combat, could achieve the level of complete mind-reading.

It could be said that Enel, relying on this top-tier Devil Fruit among the Logia and with a certain degree of development, had directly become a very terrifying opponent.

"Yo, kid, have you saved another piece of trash?"

A man wearing a Navy hat and a white Navy uniform covered in bloodstains walked out from around a corner and mocked the girl.

The girl turned her head away, ignoring the other party.

But this man was not satisfied and blocked the two of them directly, standing high above the girl in front of her.

"Didn't I tell you, kid, whether it's the Navy or Pirates, no one will ever come here!"

"This is a kingdom that doesn't exist on any sea chart, not a member of the World Government; even if we all die here, there won't be any reinforcements from above!"

He grabbed the girl's clothes and lifted her up, shaking her repeatedly, as if trying to shake his own fear away along with her.

The young girl suddenly twisted with force and punched the man on his prominent bridge of the nose; the man cried out in pain, the girl landed on the ground, kicked the man in the knee, and then quickly ran behind him, while also waving vigorously at Bai Cangshu.

"Hurry and run, big guy!"

"Don't listen to him, Captain Kori will definitely bring people back to save us!"

"This is the promise he made to team member Cindy!"

As the young girl turned and ran, she even gave a military salute toward the distance; at this moment, Bai Cangshu saw that after her coat had been torn, the back of the white shirt revealed underneath had the two characters for "Justice" written crookedly in black ink.

A friend came from out of town, my apologies, I updated a little less today, I will strive for a ten-thousand-word update tomorrow;

I recommend everyone watch the Pirate special episode: Fan Letters, it is truly good.
