Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

Wood sighed helplessly, then threw down a silver coin and dragged the man away.

He figured it out: Elsa was clearly a problem child. Her childhood experiences had turned her into a pervert. When she encountered someone she didn't like, she wanted to rip out their intestines to see what they looked like.

Once Elsa calmed down and reason prevailed, she reverted to her previous sexy and mature self. If you didn't see her previous manic expression, she would look like a normal person no matter how you looked at her.

After leaving the inn, Wood and his companions walked for two whole days. During that time, Elsa tried more than once to hunt down some passersby and take out their intestines, but Wood stopped her each time.

Of course, Wood didn't always stop Elsa. When she was hunting down bullies or nobles who were bullying the weak, Wood would usually choose to stand by and watch.

Elsa always made the scene quite bloody, so much so that Wood lost his appetite.

After spending two days together, Elsa began to feel quite comfortable lying next to Wood.

Because of her childhood experiences and her "mother's" orders, Elsa often kills aimlessly. However, after calming down, Elsa sometimes falls into deep self-blame.

Her personality was already twisted and abnormal. When she entered a state of madness, it was as if a strange switch had been turned on, and she was completely unable to control herself.

She once thought she would continue down this path, becoming nothing more than a murderer who only knew how to kill.

But ever since meeting Wood, Elsa has found herself seemingly changed...

Wood's presence was like a limiter for her; whenever she was about to lose control, his cold gaze would instantly calm her down.

Furthermore, the other party was very principled, and only ever stopped him from killing those who deserved to be killed.

This feeling was quite wonderful to Elsa; she could feel the temperature of her intestines without having to feel remorse and self-blame for killing innocent and kind people.

Moreover, as Wood intervened more often, Elsa felt that she was beginning to be able to control her emotions.

After killing the bloated, pig-like slave trader in front of her once again and removing his intestines, Elsa revealed a satisfied expression.

However, Wood, who had been standing aside and watching coldly the whole time, now showed a dissatisfied look and said, "Where exactly is the person you're talking about?"

Why do I always feel like you're leading me on a roundabout route? Since the journey is so long, why don't we just ride the earth dragon from the start?

After releasing the numerous children and women captured by the slave trader, Wood looked at the gut hunter in front of him with displeasure, feeling that he must have been tricked by the black-stockinged young lady in front of him.

"You're probably overthinking it. Because the location where Mel is is quite remote, I don't really know the way either."

Furthermore, to get there, one must cross a vast forest, and the earth dragon could easily disturb the magical beasts within, hence the choice to walk.

Elsa said this with an air of righteous indignation, but the truth was that she was making it all up.

She was leading Wood on a roundabout route and choosing to walk to buy time.

It wasn't that Elsa had ulterior motives or wanted to betray Wood; rather, during the few days she spent with Wood, Elsa felt that her life had suddenly become meaningful.

Especially the thanks from the slave children and girls she had just released made Elsa feel as if she had been redeemed.

Among them, the young girls reminded Elsa of her younger self.

What she did in the past cannot be changed, but she can still choose to atone for her sins.

As for the person they were looking for, her name was Mary Portelt, and she was also a member of the assassination organization, but in terms of age, she was not much older than the slave children they had just met.

Meili is a girl with sky-blue hair tied in a ponytail, and she is at most 12 years old.

Her childhood was no better than Elsa's. She was abandoned in the forest as a child and was picked up by monsters because of her special physique, and lived with them.

Until one mission, he was taken out of the forest by Elsa, the Bowel Hunter, and together they fought for their "mother".

The "mother" here does not refer to Elsa and Melly's real mother, but rather to the leader of their assassination organization.

Having lived with magical beasts since childhood, and then being taken out of the forest and raised by a twisted and abnormal person like Elsa, it's clear what kind of person Melie's personality is...

From a young age, Melie idolized Elsa, admiring and longing for Elsa to survive strong under the control of her "mother".

Blindly admiring her way of life, imitating Elsa's style and tone of voice, he developed the mindset of an assassin.

However, the reason for this was entirely because Meili's heart was like a seed drifting in the wind, not knowing what she should be like or what she should do.

That's why she, like a child, tried to imitate someone she longed for.

Elsa wanted Wood to go to Mary this time mainly so that Wood could try to change her.

According to Elsa's previous thinking, she was basically beyond saving, but Mary was different. As an assassin, Mary was just starting out.

Furthermore, his personality is also influenced by environmental factors, and he is still in a stage where he can be saved.

Unlike her situation, as long as she could break free from her "mother's" control, Mary could live a completely normal life like a teenage girl.

Wood believed Elsa's lies and followed her on foot for several days until they finally arrived at a place called Alam Village.

Upon arriving at the village, Wood was surprised to find that he had encountered two people he knew.

"This world is really small, or does the protagonist have some kind of special aura?"

That's right, the people Wood met in Aram Village were Subaru Natsuki, dressed in a butler's uniform and looking quite respectable, as well as the blue-haired oni girl from before.

As for why Subaru and Rem were in Aram Village, the Bowel Hunter beside Wood was not surprised at all.

Because this village of Alam is also located in the territory of the border town of Roswaal, and Elsa and Melly's mission was to prevent Emilia from going to the capital to participate in the succession candidate ceremony.

After learning that Elsa, whom she admired, failed her mission because of Subaru Natsuki, Merry decided to kill her.

Just as Meryl disguised herself as a child from Aram Village and was about to control a magical beast that had turned into a puppy to poison Subaru, Wood suddenly appeared.

"Hey kid over there, could you please not hurt that guy? I'm not that close to him, though."

But if he dies, his abilities will be quite troublesome for me.

The sudden appearance of Wood clearly startled Subaru Natsuki, Merry, and the others.

In particular, after hearing what Wood said, Natsuki Subaru immediately withdrew his hand that was about to pet the puppy, took a few steps back, and put a sufficient distance between himself and the seemingly harmless girl in front of him.

Having been in this other world for about a week, Subaru Natsuki now fully understands that he is practically no different from a so-called "fragile item" in this world.

Rem looks harmless, a cute blue-haired loli, but when she gets going, a meteor hammer weighing hundreds of pounds is no different from a toy in her hands.

Ram seems harmless, even with a smaller bust than her younger sister Rem. Unfortunately, she's a wolf in sheep's clothing, and is said to be much stronger than Rem.

In this world, judging people by their appearance is absolutely unacceptable. Just like the Mary and the puppy in front of him now, they seem harmless, but Natsuki Subaru has no doubt that they have the ability to kill him.

Meanwhile, after seeing her target, Subaru Natsuki, jump away, the healing smile on Mary's face instantly turned cold, and her expression towards Wood was filled with murderous intent!

Chapter 346 Conqueror's Haki from Another World

Melie idolizes Elsa, and Elsa has always had a very high success rate in completing missions.

Subaru's previous boasting led Meryl to mistakenly believe that Elsa's mission failed largely because of Subaru.

To Meili's surprise, just as she was about to succeed, a person suddenly appeared in her way. This person not only saw through her intention to harm Natsuki Subaru, but also sensed the danger posed to the "puppy" in her arms.

Now that her identity had been exposed, Meili stopped pretending and her seemingly innocent expression was replaced by a cold one.

And as it whistled, huge black shadows began to appear in the forest surrounding Alam Village, enveloping the entire village.

Although she is only about twelve years old, Mary Portelt is also a possessor of some kind of "blessing" power.

Surrounded by an aura similar to miasma, it possesses the ability to command magical beasts. Although there are limitations in terms of quality and quantity, if it gets serious, commanding a hundred or so magical beasts is not a problem.

After Elsa failed in her mission and fled, Melly infiltrated the village and waited for her chance.

Their mission was to prevent Emilia from going to the capital to participate in the candidate's ceremony. After learning that the village was in Roswaal's territory and that people from Roswaal's mansion often came here to replenish their supplies, Merry devised a series of plans.

First, he manipulated the barrier surrounding the village, allowing monsters to enter. Then, he caused some changes in the village, summoning Emilia to inspect the barrier, so he could then eliminate the monsters.

"Mother" is a terrifying existence. Elsa's previous mission has already failed. If she fails again, then she and Elsa will likely be hunted down by the organization.

Although this time it didn't attract the silver-haired half-elf as planned, it did attract Subaru Natsuki, who was disrupting Elsa's plans, which made Merry quite satisfied.

In order to prevent her own plans from being ruined, and also to help Elsa get out of trouble, Melie has decided to make Subaru Natsuki her next scapegoat.

However, her plans were ruined just as they were about to begin, so naturally she wasn't in a good mood.

Seeing the huge, shadowy figures looming around the forest, Rem instantly evolved into her "Oni" form, growing a single horn that symbolized the Oni race on her head and taking out a giant meteor hammer in her hand.

“Merry, I advise you not to lay a hand on him. This guy is a real monster.”

The magical beasts you control are probably nothing more than toys to him.

Seeing that Melly seemed poised to unleash a horde of magical beasts from the forest, Elsa finally emerged from the shadows.

After spending several days together, Elsa had come to understand Wood's character somewhat. Although he wasn't a pure villain, he was definitely not a good person either.

If you don't provoke him, then it's fine, but once he sets his mind on killing you, he won't care who the target is at all.

In particular, Mei Li's attitude of threatening to massacre the entire village at the slightest disagreement directly touched the other party's sore spot.

So, to prevent Melie from being accidentally killed by Wood before she understands the situation, Elsa has no choice but to show herself and explain.

Elsa, I'm so glad you're alright!

If we join forces, we're sure to complete this mission, and then we won't have to worry about being hunted down by 'Mother'.

Melie had no idea what Wood's role was, because Natsuki Subaru hadn't mentioned Wood's existence when he told them hero stories in order to make himself more noticeable.

"Merry, the reason I came here to see you is to tell you something: I plan to leave the organization."

As your partner, and having known each other for a while, I've come to ask you if you plan to leave with me.

Upon seeing the "Bowel Hunter," some unpleasant memories flooded back into Subaru Natsuki's mind.

Natsuki Subaru believed in Wood's strength, but from what the Bowel Hunter said to Merry, it wasn't hard for Natsuki Subaru to tell that Wood seemed to have joined forces with the Bowel Hunter...

With the Bowel Hunter, the loli who can control magical beasts, and Wood who seems to have an unpredictable stance, while their own fighting force consists of only Rem and a village of villagers as a burden, the situation is extremely unfavorable.
