Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

The only person in the assassination organization who met the requirements and was convenient for exchanging letters was Melly, a newcomer to the profession.

"Merry, we already agreed before, right? I'll buy you whatever you like to eat."

If I strike up a conversation with someone later, you should know how to address me, right?

Looking at the blue-haired loli who followed him step by step, licking her ice cream with an innocent and romantic expression, Wood couldn't help but feel a wave of exhaustion.

Upon arriving in the capital, Wood was so unprepared that he couldn't even find the location of the Royal Knights.

With his good looks and charisma, Wood quickly won over a random young woman on the street, inviting her to dinner and having her act as their guide.

While locating the Kingdom Knights, we might also be able to obtain some information about the Dragon-Protecting Kingdom from them.

However, just as the young lady was completely captivated by Wood's good looks and was being charmed by him, the way Mary addressed Wood caused her to change her expression drastically. She then slapped Wood and left.

Recalling what Mary had said at the time, Wood's face twitched again, and he realized that the young lady's slap at him back then was not without reason.

Because at that time, Mary actually addressed Wood as "Darling, after we finish eating, shall we play with this older sister?"

Heaven help me, even in another world, to lay a hand on a girl as young as Meli is absolutely a crime.

The girl's innocent address of Wood as "darling" made the girl being flirted with think that he wasn't lying.

As one might imagine, Wood was immediately regarded as a perverted nobleman with peculiar fetishes by the other party.

Giving Wood only a slap and not reporting it to the Knights was already considered a concession, given the many kind words Wood had just spoken.

When the first incident occurred, Wood believed it was because Mary hadn't interacted with normal people for many years and had limited understanding of things. So, even after being slapped, Wood still patiently taught her that terms like "darling" were only appropriate between lovers or spouses.

Even if assassins use relationships to disguise their identities, those with such a large age gap usually need other close relationships to use as a cover.

After hearing what Wood said, the blue-haired girl nodded to show that she understood, and after receiving Wood's bribe (ice cream), she also said that she would definitely cooperate with Wood.

"I've found another suitable person to chat up, and this girl looks even fiercer than the last one... well, I mean, she looks more mature."

Moreover, judging from her appearance, she should be a noblewoman, so she should know even more.

This time, Wood's target was a blonde beauty who held a red folding fan, wore a gorgeous black headdress, and a black and red gothic dress.

The other woman not only had extremely striking facial features, but her off-the-shoulder black and red gothic dress also made no attempt to conceal her impressive bust.

As Wood approached to strike up a conversation, Mary, who had been following behind him with an innocent expression, now subtly revealed her disdain.

Because she grew up with monsters and later lived with abnormal people like Elsa, Mary's understanding of some things is indeed limited, but she is not stupid.

Wood claims he's gathering intelligence, but why does he always target young and beautiful women? Can't he get any information from men?

Since her "mother" died, Mary had never felt so relaxed.

Wood initially gave her a scary feeling, but once she got to know him, she found that Wood was not only powerful, but also very gentle.

Compared to her "mother's" power, which only brought her fear, Wood's power brought Mary more of a sense of security.

Shopping with Wood and eating the things he bought for her, Mary felt for the first time what it was like to be with family.

So when Wood struck up conversations with other young women, Mary felt they were being bothered and was quite unhappy.

That's why Mary had been deliberately messing things up and provoking every woman Wood tried to pick up.

When Mary saw that Wood's target this time was another beautiful young woman with such large breasts, she was naturally even more unhappy.

"Beautiful lady, we are tourists visiting the capital for the first time. Your beauty is as beautiful as the morning sun, which made me notice you at first glance in the vast crowd."

"May I have the honor of inviting this beautiful lady for a cup of coffee, and perhaps learn more about this bustling capital city?"

It was a rather clichéd way of striking up a conversation, and even Wood himself found it cringeworthy, but medieval nobles loved it.

Wood's own remarkable temperament and good looks, along with the aristocratic etiquette he learned in the world of Mushoku Tensei, make this approach incredibly effective for the noble girl from another world.

"Although it's a very cliché way of picking up girls, I happen to have nothing better to do, so I don't mind giving some knowledge to the ignorant."

Furthermore, what you said before wasn't entirely accurate. I am not as beautiful as the morning sun; rather, I am the sun itself, and the entire world revolves around me.

Upon hearing what the blonde beauty said, Wood's first thought was that although the woman in front of him was pretty, she was unfortunately a bit dim-witted.

However, Wood soon discovered that apart from being a bit socially awkward, the blonde beauty in front of him was very well-mannered and had an aristocratic air about her.

In other words, the other person isn't mentally deficient; it's just that their character is problematic. They are inherently unruly and extremely arrogant.

"Since you're planning to host the dinner, then I'll choose the location, is that alright?"

The blonde woman closed her folding fan and pointed directly at a shop that clearly didn't look cheap.

And as if it were a script arranged by the director, they had only walked a few pages when a few thugs suddenly appeared and started harassing the blonde beauty because of her good looks and figure.

Wood, who was the one who approached the other person and was currently the only male companion by her side, was naturally being targeted.

But these few weaklings were no match for Wood. They were quickly beaten black and blue and slunk away.

"Judging from your skills, you don't seem to be just an ordinary tourist visiting the capital, as you say."

Seeing that Wood had easily dealt with the troublemakers, the blonde woman who had been approached by him looked slightly surprised.

"I don't think you're an ordinary noble lady. You didn't seem flustered at all in that situation."

To be honest, Wood was already regretting approaching the aristocratic beauty in front of him. She gave him a strange feeling, as if she was always in a state of composure.

Moreover, this is the capital city. Compared to a remote border town, how dare thugs harass nobles in the street? No matter how you look at it, it feels quite incongruous.

"Why should I panic? I've already said before that the whole world revolves around me."

No matter what happens, the outcome will always be in my favor.

The girl's words made Wood once again label her as troublesome, and he was thinking of abandoning her to find new prey. At this moment, Mary, who was beside Wood, made a divine intervention.

"Father, will those bad guys come back for revenge?"

Holding a plush toy in one hand and licking an ice cream cone in the other, Mary looked at Wood with an innocent and romantic expression and asked him a question.

Wood previously mentioned their age difference, and even if they were to use an identity to disguise themselves, being a couple or spouse would obviously be inappropriate, because Wood would easily be seen as a pervert.

The little girl had clearly taken Wood's advice to heart, and thus made some adjustments to her identity.

Seeing Mary looking at him with such an innocent expression, Wood's face twitched in utter astonishment...

If he could, he would actually prefer to be the "older brother" rather than the "father".

However, Wood is now inclined to abandon this seemingly extraordinary noblewoman in front of him. Merry's mistake might be a good opportunity; at worst, he can just take another slap from her.

However, the noblewoman's subsequent performance greatly surprised both Wood and Mary.

Instead of slapping Wood, that scumbag, the other woman looked at Mary with interest and said, "So this is your daughter? She's quite lovely. I've always wanted to have children, but unfortunately, the men I've married are all disappointing."

Wood was truly stunned by what the noblewoman said, because he never expected that she, who looked no more than eighteen or nineteen years old, was already a married man...

No, if you think about it carefully, the place he is in now is another world, so it doesn't seem strange that a girl of this age would become a young woman.

"I never imagined that this beautiful lady... no, this beautiful lady, is already married. I apologize for disturbing you. Farewell, madam..."

Wood was somewhat taken aback to find that the person he was trying to chat up was a "lady." In his embarrassment, Wood was about to pull Mary away when a noblewoman standing nearby blocked his way.

"Did I ask you to leave? Are you afraid because you heard that I used to have a husband? Don't you also take your daughter and flirt with beautiful women everywhere?"

Or have you heard of my reputation, and that's why you're afraid now?

The noblewoman reached out to stop Wood, a smile on her face, her eyes scrutinizing him as if he were an interesting prey.

Just as Wood had guessed, the noble girl was indeed no ordinary noble, but was named Priscilla Baliel, one of the five "Dragon Priestesses" of the 42nd generation of the Dragon Kingdom.

Besides being known as the "Dragon Priestess," Priscilla also has another title: "The Crimson Bride."

This was not a compliment, but a curse-like title, because Priscilla's husband, Rape Bariel, died suddenly less than a day after their remarriage.

Poor Lep Bariel not only died without ever touching Priscilla's hand, but Priscilla also inherited the entire Bariel family.

Furthermore, Priscilla's habit of saying "the whole world revolves around me" is not just simple narcissism.

Priscilla's blessing is called "Blessing of the Sun," and its effect is to provide various action modifiers during the day.

Simply put, whatever Priscilla does during the day, things around her will automatically be corrected to make things develop in a direction that is favorable to her.

Because she is the sun, she often says that the whole world revolves around her.

In addition to being able to automatically correct her actions, Priscilla's magic is of the Yang attribute, and with the blessing she also possesses excellent Yang magic talent and swordsmanship.

Even if Wood hadn't intervened to stop those thugs, Priscilla could have handled the situation herself.

The reason Priscilla didn't intervene was because she believed that with her protective power, the matter could be resolved without her intervention.

Chapter 350 He was treated like a hooligan by the Knights

Priscilla makes no attempt to hide the fact that others call her the "Bloody Bride".

Even the sudden death of her unfortunate husband might have been due to Priscilla's "blessing of the sun."

Because Priscilla so desired it, things turned in her favor, and her husband, whom she had never met, died.

Indeed, that's how it ended. After her husband's death, Priscilla took control of the Baliel family and became one of the five "Dragon Witches".

If she can pass the royal selection, she will be the new queen of the Dragon Kingdom, and she can begin to carry out her revenge.

"I'm sorry, although I already have a daughter this big, I have no interest in widows, so please allow me to take my leave."

"If you wish to stop me, Madam, you are welcome to try. Although I can sense your considerable magic, stopping us won't be an easy task."

While spouting scumbag remarks, Wood pulled Mary past him, but Priscilla stood there with a smile on her face, neither stopping Wood from leaving nor showing any displeasure.
