In One Piece With Cheat Codes

Annihilate the Pirates

"Damn it, who did this? Everyone spread out and search!" The captain of the pirate crew, a burly man clad in armor, shouted furiously upon discovering the pirates lying in pools of blood.

"Captain, could it be the villagers?" a bespectacled pirate stepped forward to take a look and suggested.

"Those worthless scum? Hmph, I intended to keep them around for our enjoyment, but they've shown such ingratitude. Everyone, gather up and search house by house! Once we find the killer, I will personally snap his neck!" The pirate captain frowned and bellowed.

As the pirates were gathering to prepare for their search in the village, a scream suddenly rang out from the back of their ship.

Ryu stood at the ship's railing, grinning at the pirates, then dove headfirst into the sea, leaving the few pirates left on board lying in their own blood.

"Bastard, go catch him!" Although they couldn't clearly see Ryu's appearance, such a blatant provocation enraged the pirates, and they all rushed towards the ship.

"Phew, just a few more left. After taking down another batch, I can confront them directly!" Ryu found a place to climb ashore and quietly observed the furious pirates.

Despite Ryu's improved physical condition, he knew that life is precious, so he opted for caution; he wasn't one of those invincible anime characters with plot armor.

"Captain, it seems the enemy is not very strong; otherwise, they wouldn't be picking us off one by one!" The bespectacled pirate adjusted his glasses, looking smug.

"Stop wasting time! Right now, immediately find that little rat! I want his corpse in pieces!" The pirate captain shouted, glaring at the corpses on the deck.

Their numbers had already dwindled significantly, and they still didn't know who their enemy was, which made him furious.

In past battles, they had always fought openly, relying on strength. If they could win, they would; if not, they would retreat. He had never encountered a sneaky opponent like this before.

However, this time the pirates wised up and chose not to split up their forces but to search together.

"Captain, we've searched everywhere, but there's no sign of him. Everyone is getting tired and wants to sleep now!" The bespectacled pirate returned to report after searching with his men.

"What should we do now?" The pirate captain calmed down and asked.

"Let's rest for now. Everyone stay together and rest. When morning comes, we'll go to the village. We can threaten those villagers to draw him out!" The bespectacled pirate smiled deviously.

The pirate captain nodded, saying in a deep voice, "Alright, I'll deal with him myself tomorrow!"

Hiding in the grass along the shore, Ryu heard the pirates' plan, so he didn't dare to leave, fearing they might cause trouble for the villagers. Instead, he remained vigilant and gradually recovered his inner strength.

As dawn approached, Ryu had completely regained his strength and noticed that his internal energy had slightly increased. Checking his attributes, he found that his energy had indeed risen a bit.

"No wonder they say fighting is the best training; I'd never gain this much so quickly by training alone!" Ryu chuckled, looking at the experience bar that was over four-fifths full.

He put his weapons in his backpack and swam back towards the pirate ship, quietly climbing aboard.

All the pirates were sprawled out messily inside, with two guards dozing off at the entrance. In the middle of the cabin sat a burly man in armor, also leaning back with drool pooling at the corner of his mouth, fast asleep.
