Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

According to the original plan, Wood should have gone to the capital of the Dragon Kingdom, but after Reinhard and Emilia left, Wood chose to leave in another direction.

In a tavern in a town in the Kingdom of Lugnica, the Bowel Hunter, who had just escaped death, was in a room, taking off his clothes and slowly cleaning his wounds.

Recalling this mission, the Bowel Hunter was still somewhat shaken, and his hands trembled as he wiped his wounds with a wet towel.

If a mission had failed in the past, Elsa would definitely have lurked like a viper, waiting for the day she could take revenge.

But this time she had no such thoughts at all. The reason was simple: in Elsa's eyes, both Wood and the sword saint Reinhard were like monsters, which made her see no hope of revenge.

Moreover, more than seeking revenge, Elsa doesn't know how to explain the failure of this mission to her "mother." Given the other party's personality, some physical pain is inevitable.

"I wonder what the final outcome will be. I really hope that the guy who messed me up like this and caused my mission to fail is killed by the Sword Saint Reinhard!"

Having been an assassin for so many years, Elsa has always been the one toying with her prey, and then tearing out their intestines when they are in the most pain, watching them scream in agony.

But unexpectedly, this time the one being toyed with became Elsa herself.

Anyone with eyes can see that, given Wood's strength in his previous fight with Reinhard, he wouldn't need that much time to defeat her.

Elsa viewed the other party's previous act of releasing the fish into the sea at the stolen goods store as a blatant humiliation.

"That must be a disappointment for you. Although I didn't defeat the cheater you mentioned, I wasn't killed by him either."

"So, the battle with that sword saint left me with some injuries. You might be able to defeat me now. How about trying to take revenge yourself?"

The unfamiliar voice suddenly appeared in her room, which clearly startled Elsa.

However, Elsa's excellent assassin skills and experience allowed her to quickly regain her composure. She picked up the scimitar on the table and held it in front of her, immediately turning her body towards the direction from which the sound came.

The figure that appeared in Elsa's line of sight at this moment was the same person who had recently brought her a nightmare. The person was now sitting on her bed, looking at her... body with an expression of great interest.

Because she needed to clean her wounds, Elsa would definitely need to remove any extra clothing beforehand.

"Have you looked enough! You chased me all the way here, just to see my body?"

Although the Bowel Hunter felt somewhat uncomfortable under Wood's undisguised gaze, he did not choose to cover himself or put down his scimitar to exchange for clothes.

Because it is undoubtedly foolish; life is the only and most important thing, far more important than a ridiculous sense of shame.

When faced with unknown dangers, what gives her a sense of security is the weapon in her hand, not the dispensable clothing.

"You're even more capable than I imagined. It seems that so-called professional assassins are indeed different."

But do you really think that if I were to actually take action, the weapons you have would be enough to guarantee your safety?

After a moment of stunned silence, Elsa's tense state of mind suddenly relaxed, and she slowly put down her scimitar. She even turned her back to Wood and began to put on her clothes in an orderly manner, seemingly oblivious to everyone else.

That's right. If it were someone else, in that situation, putting down your weapon would have been an extremely foolish thing to do.

But Wood was different. Just as the other party said, when facing monsters of this level, it didn't seem to make much difference whether he had a weapon to defend himself or not.

Moreover, the fact that the other party said that means he didn't intend to make a move; otherwise, I wouldn't have had the chance to speak.

Even if the other party really makes a move, at least I can die with some dignity now that I'm dressed.

As the curvaceous body was gradually obscured by the black gift, Wood felt a strong urge to slap himself for his earlier actions.

Why did you have to show off like that? Now you don't have the chance to feast your eyes. Actually, you could have just stayed in that state and still gotten to talking business.

"You chased me all the way here, but now you're not making a move. You must have come here to see my pathetic state, right?"

Are you trying to force me to reveal who commissioned me? Or are you planning to capture me and take me back to claim credit and reward?

Upon learning that Wood had no intention of killing her, Elsa calmed down instead, leaning against the wall to show off her perfect figure, and asked in a lazy manner.

The reason Wood was able to find and catch up with Elsa is quite simple: Elsa had injuries from Wood's magic when they fought before, so Wood tracked her down by the residual magical energy in the air.

"I'm not here to hunt you down, nor am I here to interrogate you or demand who hired you. After all, I'm not that familiar with Emilia and the others."

You can continue cleaning your wound, it's fine. Just pretend I'm not here. We can talk business later when you're done with your work.

Despite Wood's righteous and stern statement, Elsa showed no intention of continuing her work of cleaning her wounds, and simply watched Wood in silence.

Wood finally spoke when he felt that the chances of getting another good look were slim: "To be honest, the reason I followed you here was because I was more interested in your so-called assassination organization."

A hitman like you shouldn't be working alone, but rather in some kind of organization.

I just want to ask if I have the honor of being a part of it... no, to be more precise, if I have the opportunity to become your leader?

That's right, this is Wood's real purpose in traveling thousands of miles to catch up with Elsa the Bowel Hunter.

Since this world actually has an underground world, Wood naturally wants to go back to his old ways.

In the world of Jobless Reincarnation, Wood suffered from a lack of information, which led to him being outmaneuvered by a god without even knowing what kind of person the other party was.

If he had known about the gods and humans beforehand, and even what kind of person the Dragon God was, he wouldn't have ended up like that in the world of Mushoku Tensei.

So Wood has learned his lesson this time. His temporary goal remains unchanged: to become a knight of the Dragon Kingdom.

But this doesn't mean he can only be a knight. He can also secretly be a big shot in the underworld, just like in the world of One Piece.

The underworld may be dark and chaotic, but it is undeniably the most authentic place. Whether it's intelligence or the darker aspects of the world, you can get firsthand information there.

Wood's purpose in approaching Elsa was simple: he wanted to return to his old ways and become the head of an assassination organization.

Making money is secondary; the main thing is that Wood wants to use these assassins from the assassination organization to help him gather all kinds of intelligence about the world.

Chapter 345 The Assassin is a Loli?

(Thanks to Brother Dongmucheng for the 500 Qidian coins reward! (▽｀))

"You want to be an assassin in the underworld, and even the head of an assassination organization?"

Elsa was clearly taken aback when she heard Wood's purpose. She thought it was unheard of for someone of Wood's status and strength to want to become an assassin in the underworld.

Those who roam the underworld are like rats in a stinking ditch, hated by everyone in that kingdom.

Many people turn to the underworld because they have nowhere else to turn, but when they try to clear their names, they find that they have already committed too many murders and there is nowhere left for them.

Someone like Wood, with a clean background and such remarkable skills, is the kind of glamorous knight that most people dream of.

Wood's statement that he wanted to enter the underworld and become the head of an assassination organization was something Elsa had never expected.

Wood: "What, do you think I'm not qualified? Or is your boss so strong that you think I can't take him down?"

Elsa: "No, I'm just surprised that someone like you would want to join the underworld and become a part of it."

Upon hearing Elsa's words, Wood clearly understood what she meant and turned to laugh heartily, "You don't think I'm the kind of person who's all about justice, do you?"

Furthermore, the underworld doesn't necessarily equate to darkness, just as those glamorous nobles outside aren't necessarily good people.

Elsa was clearly surprised when she heard what Wood said, because judging from Wood's clothes, he seemed to be of noble birth as well.

Having roamed through many kingdoms, Elsa knew very well what nobles were like. However, she had to admit that Wood, who was standing in front of her at this moment, gave her a different impression of this nobleman.

"Enough with the small talk. Are you willing to take me to see the head of your assassination organization or not? If not, then I'll kill you and go ask other assassins for directions, so as not to waste time here."

The Bowel Hunter is not necessarily a killer, but once Wood accepts the assassination organization, the target will also be a member of the organization, and he will not need disobedient subordinates.

“I can take you to our leader, but don’t expect me to help you… no, I think you should be perfectly fine on your own even without my help.”

Sensing the murderous intent emanating from Wood, which was not just empty talk, Elsa ultimately gave in.

The bigger reason for his compromise was actually Wood's previous remarks.

Those who live in darkness are not necessarily evil, and those who live in the light do not necessarily represent justice.

Only fools and the weak care about the good and evil of others; the wise and the strong will wield their weapons for their beliefs!

The Gut Hunter was born in the northern country of Gustico. He had no parents since he was old enough to understand things and survived by drinking muddy water.

Later, she was caught by the shop owner while stealing. The shop owner stripped her clothes, intending to take advantage of her, but Elsa cut open her abdomen with a shard of glass she picked up.

Because of killing someone, she had no choice but to enter the underworld and become an assassin.

It was because of her childhood experiences that Elsa became obsessed with cutting open other people's abdomens, earning her the reputation of the "Intestine Hunter."

Elsa initially joined the assassination organization out of necessity, but over the years, years of assassination gradually corrupted her, and her personality became increasingly twisted.

I began to feel the warmth of blood and internal organs, and from then on, I became interested in intestines...

And as time went by, Elsa came to see herself as a rat in a stinking ditch.

If Wood were to become the new head of the assassination organization, he might make some changes to the organization.

In short, it will definitely be more interesting than it is now...

"Before I take you to see the head of our assassination organization, I'd like to take you to meet someone else first. She's also a member of the assassination organization."

Wood did not refuse Elsa's request, because becoming the leader of the underground assassination organization was not something to be rushed. Elsa was quite skilled and could be considered one of the best in the organization.

Wood wouldn't mind giving the other party some special privileges if they were willing to obediently do things for him.

After all, there aren't many older women in black stockings in other worlds, and even fewer who are good-looking.

The next day, after Elsa had her wound bandaged, she checked out of the hotel. When she was paying back the money, the lewd-looking male clerk glanced at Elsa's hot figure and then smacked his lips at Wood with envy.

Clearly, the other party mistook Wood for a dissolute young nobleman who had gone out to have fun with beautiful women. After all, given Wood's current appearance and demeanor, no one would believe he wasn't a nobleman.

It's such a pity that the sexy woman in black stockings was ruined by such a degenerate scoundrel for a few stinking dollars.

Because the male shop assistant's gaze was too blatant, Elsa tightened the scimitar hidden in her cloak. She had intended to pull out his intestines to see what shape they were, but before she could make a move, her wrist was already grabbed by Wood, who was standing nearby.

"Don't do anything unnecessary if you want to stay in the same old sewer rat."

Seeing Wood's dangerous gaze, Elsa felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave. Her gradually deranged expression instantly calmed down.
