Chapter 2: The Stranded Little Fox

"Big brother, thank you for saving us." The little girl shouted in surprise, opening her arms and running toward Luo Di.

But before she had run two steps, Star Platinum pressed down on her head, causing her to flutter in place for two steps, and then she looked at Luo Di with a puzzled expression.

I don't like brats.

Having experienced the thrill of battle, Luo Di did not intend to have too much interaction with these NPCs in his dream. While he hadn't woken up yet, he prepared to go elsewhere to see if there was anyone else to practice on. This sense of satisfaction from combat made his adrenaline soar. Having lived for thirty-two years, this was the first time he had such a dream, so he naturally had to seize the opportunity.

Saving the world or whatever, it's just incredibly boring.

Luo Di looked at the crowd: "Hey, where is their base camp?"

An old man pointed into the distance and said tremblingly: "There, there is a warehouse over there, they are all there. The Hyena Gang has many people, and they are very brutal, you must be careful."

Luo Di clenched his fists and walked straight toward the direction pointed out.

……

Slap!

"Ugh～"

Inside a warehouse in Black Reef Village, dozens of Hyena Gang members were gathered. Among them, a burly man with a pompadour hairstyle and a fierce appearance was holding a long whip, lashing out fiercely at a woman whose limbs were locked in shackles.

The woman was about eighteen years old, with purple hair draped down. Her form-fitting clothes revealed a rounded and perky figure. At this moment, she had taken a whip strike to her shoulder; her clothes were torn, and the pure white fabric was stained red with blood. Her lively, large eyes stared fixedly at the fierce man before her, filled with hatred and a trace of unwillingness.

"Hahahaha... what a truly beautiful scene. I love torturing women like you who won't submit to me, crushing you completely, and then turning you into my plaything, it's just..." The pompadour man closed his eyes in enjoyment, spread his arms, and made a gesture of embracing the world: "It's just too wonderful!"

Damn it, if I hadn't been injured because of that incident, how could I have been caught by this bunch of small-fry? Could it be that I am really going to die here today...

The purple-haired woman thought to herself as the pompadour man walked slowly toward her, his face full of lewdness. Every step struck at her heart, like a staircase leading to hell.

She closed her eyes in despair, not wanting to look directly at the pompadour man's figure anymore.

Bang!

Suddenly, the warehouse door was violently torn open, dust and smoke scattered, and a ray of sunlight shone in from the destroyed warehouse door, landing on the purple-haired woman's face. She opened her eyes, and a figure slowly emerged from the dust and mist at the entrance.

Luo Di just wanted to press down the brim of his hat, but halfway through, he realized he didn't have a hat, so he quickly straightened his hand and waved at the Hyena Gang members: "I'm in a hurry, so I'll skip the opening lines. You all come at me together."

The pompadour man was stunned, then frowned, thinking, is this guy an accomplice of this woman? He then turned to face Luo Di and pulled a flintlock from his waist.

"Watch out!"

Bang!

As soon as the purple-haired woman finished speaking, the gunshot rang out. A booming sound echoed inside the warehouse. The lackeys all sneered, as if they were watching a boring farce.

But the next moment, they were all frozen in place.

The pompadour man's eyes widened, looking at Luo Di's direction in disbelief. The bullet from the flintlock had actually stopped steadily in front of Luo Di, as if it had been grabbed by an invisible hand.

Cold sweat broke out on Luo Di's back, but he remained calm on the surface. Although it was a dream, suddenly pulling a gun was still very dangerous. Fortunately, with Star Platinum there, it had steadily caught the bullet fired at him.

This guy... is he an Ability User? The purple-haired woman thought to herself, a thin wire slowly wriggling from between her fingers.

The pompadour man reloaded the bullet and was about to fire a second shot, but the muzzle suddenly tilted, and it happened to hit one of his lackeys in the head.

The lackey fell into a pool of blood in response. The rest of the gang members were all silent as cicadas in winter. Before they could react, Luo Di clenched his fist and punched hard at the air in front of him.

"Ora ora ora ora..."

The pompadour man was sent flying backward instantly. Before he could land, his spine was hammered straight again, and finally, when he hit the ground, there was another series of violent, heavy blows. In a few seconds, he was no longer in human shape.

The rest of the gang members had never seen such a scene. They usually threw their weight around in this area and could only bully the villagers of Black Reef Village. Faced with this situation, they were all at a loss.

Luo Di continued to throw punches in place, controlling Star Platinum to hammer at the lackeys. Explosive sounds kept coming from the warehouse.

About ten minutes later, Luo Di supported his knees with his hands, panting heavily. The warehouse was covered in corpses, a horrific scene. All the Hyena Gang members were no longer in human shape, with mouths and eyes crooked and bones broken.

"Phew, strange, clearly I'm dreaming, why do I feel so tired, and my hands are so sore." Luo Di stood up and walked to the purple-haired woman.

The purple-haired woman looked as if she had seen a savior and said gratefully: "Thank you for saving me. You are an Ability User, right? I didn't expect to meet one in such a remote town in the East Blue. You're really amazing."

While speaking, she unlocked the shackles on her body herself.

Ability User? East Blue?

Luo Di stared at the woman in front of him, always feeling a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen her somewhere before.

Gradually calming down, Luo Di looked at the corpses on the ground, smelled the pungent blood and rust, and felt the soreness in his body. Everything was so real, not at all like being in a dream.

"Wait, you said this is the East Blue?" Luo Di said in surprise: "And what does Ability User mean?"

The purple-haired woman replied: "This is the East Blue. Ability Users are those who have eaten a Devil Fruit and gained powerful strength, just like the kind you just displayed. But after eating the fruit, they will be abandoned by the sea and become a hammer."

Devil Fruit……

Luo Di's hot blood had completely cooled down by now. From the purple-haired woman's words, he also understood his location.

He was no stranger to this knowledge. In his previous life, he started following the anime One Piece when he was a teenager. Later, because the updates were too slow, he read the manga, and because the manga was too slow, he went to Qidian to read fan-fiction novels. He had also fantasized about transmigrating into this world.

Now, it had actually come true?

He steadied himself and continued to stare at the woman in front of him. He had felt inexplicably familiar just now, and now a figure in his mind slowly overlapped with her.

Ka Li Na.

A character from One Piece, a childhood friend of Nami, both of them were treasure thieves and proficient in navigation.

His gaze moved to Ka Li Na's chest. Ka Li Na noticed Luo Di's gaze, and her whole body froze, her chest bouncing just right.

As expected, it's as big as in the anime.

Luo Di thought, looking at his own face in a broken mirror nearby.

It was indeed his face from his previous life, just looking a lot younger. From his memory, he learned that he was now twenty-two years old.

Ten years back in time.

He lowered his head and pulled open his pants.

Luo Di felt relieved; the size hadn't changed, as expected.

(눈_눈)

Ka Li Na gave Luo Di a disdainful look, thinking that although this guy was powerful, his brain didn't seem very bright.

Hmm... and he's very lecherous, this needs to be noted.

If he hadn't suddenly broken through the door, her fate right now would be easy to imagine; because of certain matters, she had already been on the run for a long time, and if she could follow him for the time being, the probability of her survival should increase quite a bit.

While pondering, she followed Luo Di out of the warehouse, stopped in her tracks, and looked at Luo Di, her face revealing craftiness, as if she were looking at the most precious treasure in the world.
