Otherwise, in the weapon-scarce “Waste End Station,” they’d never have left this “short flintlock” lying here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crouching low, Su Xiao moved toward the gun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at that moment, a gaunt refugee sprinted ahead, grimy hand reaching for the “short flintlock.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao frowned—not because the man had seized the initiative, but because he feared the man would draw attention from either faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He snatched a fist-sized stone and hurled it with all his strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stone struck the refugee’s arm with brutal force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thud.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The refugee staggered back, screaming in pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao lunged behind him, sidestepped, and drove his knee hard into the refugee’s spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The refugee arched forward, spitting a jet of acidic saliva, yet despite the blow, he only lurched two steps forward—still standing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao’s pupils contracted. How strong were the humans of this pirate world? This was just the weakest of the refugees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was no time to ponder it. Su Xiao saw the refugee’s eyes turn feral, teeth bared, jaw muscles bulging like a cornered beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To an ordinary man, this sight would trigger instinctive retreat—but Su Xiao was no ordinary man. He had fought before. He knew: if he fled now, his exposed back would take a bullet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clenching his fist, Su Xiao struck the refugee’s jaw before he could recover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The human jaw is packed with blood vessels; a sudden heavy blow causes cerebral hypoperfusion, leading to oxygen deprivation and brief unconsciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Crack.” Several bloody yellow teeth flew far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Su Xiao’s full-force punch, the refugee collapsed straight backward, like a felled log.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An ordinary man would have blacked out for seconds after a jaw strike—but the natives of this pirate world possessed inexplicably tough physiques. Su Xiao flipped the refugee over and smashed his fist into the back of his neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dull thud echoed. The refugee lay motionless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao snatched up the “short flintlock,” and instantly, text appeared before his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Su Xiao could read it, a large group of figures approached from afar—Toby’s faction, returning from failed pursuit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao’s blood ran cold. If discovered now, he wouldn’t even get to speak—he’d be riddled with bullets. These men were already blood-mad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He scanned left and right, face grim. Around him rose towering mountains of trash, arranged in a ring, blocking all sightlines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He dared not climb the unstable trash heaps—they could collapse at any moment, hiding unknown horrors. If he were pierced by a sharp object here, he wouldn’t die from blood loss—he’d die from infection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Su Xiao slipped into the dilapidated building. Mia, the girl, stared at him, fear etched on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, without prompting, Mia spoke first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I won’t speak.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing she’d spoken, Mia clamped both hands over her mouth, her eyes darting to the “short flintlock” in Su Xiao’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after Su Xiao entered the building, loud noises erupted outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a burst of curses, the noise faded. They’d returned to scavenge—but the anger in their voices suggested they found little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao exhaled, then checked the earlier prompt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Obtained: Worn Flintlock (White）】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Worn Flintlock (White)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Origin: One Piece, Leopold Workshop\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Durability: 6\u002F30\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ammunition: 4\u002F6 (Rapid-fire flintlock is a unique technology of the One Piece world)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Attack Power: 2~13 (calculated by distance)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Equipment Requirement: Strength 1 to use; Strength over 3 to use effectively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rating: 3 (Note: White equipment ratings range from 1 to 10.

This is the only universal currency of the Paradise Loop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Warning: Use each Paradise Coin wisely. It is your capital for survival and strength.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao nodded thoughtfully. The Paradise Loop had strict systems—not only detailing weapon stats, but also a fully developed currency mechanism.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Su Xiao knew danger lay ahead, he felt a quiet anticipation—eager for the Paradise Loop to make him stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t yet know how to grow stronger, but the Paradise Loop must hold the way—otherwise, he could never complete the harder tasks ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After carefully inspecting the “Worn Flintlock,” Su Xiao smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, he had a weapon. Without one, in this perilous world, he could never feel safe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But compared to firearms, Su Xiao preferred cold weapons—like a long, narrow-bladed, razor-sharp sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If his own blade were with him, his combat power would rise by at least fifty percent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao now understood the basics. He needed to prepare for the mission—the deadline was only seventy-two hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t dare imagine what failure would bring. He had to devote himself entirely to completing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Assassinating a king was no simple task. He needed other methods—at least a way to get close to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The idea of secretly infiltrating the palace never crossed Su Xiao’s mind. In the One Piece world, there was something called Observation Haki.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From his memories, this king was likely tied to the World Nobles, the Celestial Dragons. It was entirely possible he had elite Observation Haki users guarding him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, with Su Xiao’s assassination skills, the difficulty of killing a king could never be rated LV.3.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the real world, with its surveillance systems, Su Xiao had carried out his revenge. How much easier would it be in the backward tech world of One Piece?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But thinking of this now was premature. First, he needed to understand his location—the Paradise Loop offered no map. Everything had to be discovered by himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao’s gaze turned to the girl cowering in the corner. She lived in the “Waste End Station”—she must know this place well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing Su Xiao’s stare, the girl, Mia, curled into herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you want?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice trembled, laced with tears. She’d hidden her gender—because in the Waste End Station, being a woman was a deadly liability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you hungry?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao crouched before her, his face softened with a gentle smile—but his eyes remained cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was not a kind man. Hatred had long erased kindness from his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>",1216,"2026-06-19T23:49:42.795Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","bc1064fec53ff4161ab4e23224e4b9cd888970a04ec5b53d024534010e061e4a","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-5","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-3",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fparadise-of-reincarnation-cover.jpg"]
