Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

Wood and Mary left Priscilla behind and went to another street. After Wood repeatedly reminded her, Mary finally agreed, albeit with a disgruntled expression, that she would call Wood "brother" from now on.

However, just as Wood was about to try his hand at chatting up a young lady again, several people dressed in knightly armor blocked his way.

The leading knight was a burly, stern-faced middle-aged man with short, light green hair and wearing knight's armor.

The other party claimed to be Marcus Kirdaku, the captain of the Royal Guard Knights of Lugnica, the Kingdom of Dragons.

The reason they approached Wood and his team was because there was something that required Wood to be investigated.

The Royal Guard Knights came to them on their own initiative, and it was even the commander himself who came. At first, Wood and Mary thought that their identity as an assassination organization had been exposed.

However, as soon as the middle-aged knight commander spoke, Wood knew that they had been approached for other reasons, or more precisely, because of Priscilla.

After Wood left, Priscilla sought out the Royal Guard Knights, telling them that she had been harassed by thugs in the capital.

The Royal Guard Knights naturally took this matter very seriously. Not to mention that such an incident in the capital of the Dragon Kingdom was a disgrace to the Knights, who were responsible for maintaining order.

On the other hand, the reason why the Knights mobilized so much, even for Max to personally take part, was because Priscilla's identity was too special.

Putting aside Priscilla's current status as the head of the Baliel family, she is now one of the five candidates with the right to inherit the family business.

In other words, Priscilla could potentially become the queen of the entire Dragon Kingdom.

If Priscilla were to become queen in the future, would it be acceptable for her to be harassed by thugs in her own kingdom?

To uphold the dignity of the Order, the Royal Guard quickly dispatched knights to search the streets and purge all the thugs from the town at lightning speed, lest they cause any more trouble during the royal selection ceremony.

Wood didn't look like a hoodlum in any way, and Priscilla didn't slander him to the Knights, yet the Knights still came knocking on his door.

The other party's reasoning was quite valid: after investigation, the Knights discovered that Wood had flirted with several young and beautiful women in one day, so they suspected that Wood's motives were impure, and therefore asked him to go back and cooperate with the investigation.

They even suspected that Mary, who was with Wood, was also someone Wood had abducted, so Wood had to go back with them to explain the reasons for all his actions.

The official rhetoric was quite grand and dignified, but to put it simply, the Royal Guard Knights considered Wood a hooligan and were worried that he would disturb the city's appearance during the royal selection ceremony, so they had to take him back and teach him a lesson.

Wood was taken away by the Royal Guard for investigation, while Mary received special treatment because of her status as a child.

Wood initially intended to take action, but then he thought, "Haven't I been searching for the Knights' location all along?"

Although the process is not quite what we expected, isn't it good that the goal has been achieved?

When Wood arrived at the Royal Guard's interrogation room, he was dumbfounded again, because he encountered Priscilla, who had come there to identify the criminals.

Because of the Royal Guard Knights' extensive looting, many local thugs and ruffians in the capital were captured.

There were simply too many thugs and hooligans, and Max couldn't confirm who had harassed Priscilla, so he had to have the person come and identify them in person.

When Max brought Wood to the interrogation room, they happened to run into Priscilla, who was identifying someone. She saw him too and smiled at Wood from afar, saying, "I told you long ago, we would meet again."

"As long as it's what I desire, things will develop in my favor."

Priscilla opened her red folding fan to cover the lower half of her face, then said to Max, "Commander, may I take this person with me?"

Max glanced at Priscilla in front of him, then turned to look at Wood, and immediately became certain that the two knew each other and that something had happened between them.

Wood wanted to refuse, because he felt Priscilla was very strange, and the power of "blessing" in this world was too outrageous.

Priscilla's "Blessing of the Sun" was the second time Wood, or Reinhard, had encountered a blessing of such a high level.

He used to think that his two "blessings" were pretty awesome, but now it seems that his two seemingly awesome blessings are just common stuff.

Priscilla's "Sun's Blessing" may not seem as powerful as Reinhard's "World's Favor" at first glance, but it's still quite outrageous.

Not only can it significantly increase combat power, it can also provide a lucky aura buff during the day.

To steer everything in a direction that benefits oneself—in a cultivation novel, that's practically being the chosen one of destiny!

"Sir, you should think carefully. I am now identifying the scoundrel who harassed me."

If someone is unhappy or startled, they might mistake another person for someone else.

Before Wood could even refuse, Priscilla had already said those words with a smug look on her face.

Even a fool could hear the strong threat in Priscilla's words, and Max, the captain of the Royal Guard, also showed his displeasure.

But he couldn't say much. Priscilla being harassed by thugs in the capital was the Knights' fault.

Moreover, as the person involved, Priscilla's choice of whom to identify is not entirely up to her.

Wood wanted to join the Knights and activate another 'Blessing' power, but with his criminal record as a thug, joining the Knights was obviously out of the question, so he could only suffer in silence.

After leaving the Knights' interrogation room, Wood immediately turned hostile and grabbed Priscilla by the neck without any mercy.

"What exactly do you want to do? Even if you are that so-called 'Dragon Priestess,' that identity is meaningless to me."

If you piss me off, I can still help you get rid of him!

While I do indeed want to become a knight, this world isn't limited to just this one kingdom. At worst, I can become a knight in another kingdom; the result will be the same, just a bit more complicated.

Priscilla, whose neck was being choked by Wood, finally showed a look of pain on her face. Just as Wood finished giving her a warning and was about to let go, his Observation Haki suddenly alerted him to his body.

Just as Wood dodged to the side, a sword flash landed where he had just been standing.

The person who appeared before Wood was an exceptionally tall and burly man with a knight's helmet and a green vest, who had only one arm.

"Hey handsome young man, could you please not get too close to this woman?"

I'm doing this for your own good, really. Almost everyone who gets close to her ends up badly. If I hadn't been forced into becoming her knight in shining armor, I would have run away long ago.

Although the other party forced him away, Wood did not sense any deep hostility from them.

However, if it weren't for Wood's excellent awareness, he would have been injured by the opponent's sneak attack. So, Wood stepped forward and threw a punch in response.

An ordinary straight punch produced a sonic boom in the air, causing Al's pupils to contract rapidly beneath his helmet before he quickly raised his sword to block.

"clang------!"

The fist struck the sword, producing a sound like metal clashing against stone.

What surprised Al was that the opponent was not strong at all, and was even somewhat thin, yet his fist bent the longsword in his hand in an instant.

And with a tremendous pressure acting on his body through his arms, the next second Al Quaiwu's body was like a cannonball, flying backward and even crashing into the wall next to him, creating a huge dent!

"Thank you for your advice, but the point is, it's not that I want to get close to your master, but that your master keeps bothering me."

I rarely lay a hand on women; this is just a warning. If you continue to harass me, don't blame me for being ruthless.

Seeing her knight Al being sent flying by Wood's punch, Priscilla's mouth was slightly open, and her expression was full of surprise.

She knew Wood was no ordinary person, but she never imagined he would be this strong.

Priscilla was well aware of her knight's strength; Aldibalan was the "sword slave" of the Flacchia Empire.

Before being rescued by himself, Al had defeated countless powerful enemies in the arena.

The reason he was wearing a knight's helmet was because Al's face was covered with a terrifying number of scars from the battle.

Although he lost his left arm, Al's strength in the Flacchia Empire was definitely among the top warriors, far superior to the street thugs he had been before.

Even though Al was so powerful, he was actually sent flying by a single punch from the man in front of him, despite being on guard. This made Priscilla even more certain that her previous feeling was correct, so she called out to Wood again.

"Is there anything else? Although I can sense that your knight is still holding back a considerable amount of strength, it doesn't mean that I used my full strength just now."

Even if you all wanted to attack together, honestly, your chances of winning wouldn't be very high. I still want to stay in this kingdom for the time being, so don't force me to take action.

Wood realized that although the level of martial prowess in this world was not particularly high, the number of strong individuals was quite dense.

Putting everything else aside, Wood felt that Priscilla and her knight Al were not weaklings, based on the magic he sensed from Priscilla and Al's skill.

Compared to Reinhard, there might be no comparison at all, but if it came down to a fight with "Mother," Wood felt that Priscilla might not necessarily lose.

"I have no intention of being your enemy. The reason I stopped you before was simply because I had become somewhat interested in you."

The "protection" I possess will correct events to their advantage, and a voice from within told me I should befriend you, so I did.

"As it turns out, the feeling of my blessing has never been wrong, and Your Excellency is indeed extraordinary."

Therefore, I would like to ask you, sir, if you are interested in working for me?

Upon hearing Priscilla's explanation, Wood's expression softened slightly, but he then turned around and replied, "I'm sorry, I don't have any intention of serving anyone else for the time being."

Furthermore, I have no interest in the so-called royal selection, and besides, you already have enough excellent knights by your side; you shouldn't need me."

Besides becoming a Kingdom Knight, becoming a personal bodyguard should also activate the "Knight's Glory" buff.

But Wood felt that Priscilla's personality... well, in short, was not a personality he could accept. Although she was undeniably beautiful and had a great figure, he still respected her arrogant and willful nature.

"If you want to join the Royal Guard Knights, it won't be an easy thing unless you're a noble from the Dragon Kingdom."

As agreed beforehand, buy me a coffee, and I can act as your recommender.

Priscilla's voice came from behind again, and this time Wood stopped walking away.

Wood: "I don't need to be your knight or lackey, all I need is a cup of tea?"

Priscilla: "Of course, no one can ever refuse my invitation, Priscilla."

Besides, some people, even after successfully striking up a conversation, always try to find an excuse to run away.

Priscilla was a sharp-eyed and intelligent woman. The moment she saw Wood and Mary, she knew they couldn't possibly be father and daughter.

The blue-haired girl named Mary deliberately calls Wood "Father" simply because she's afraid of taking him away from her; Priscilla can't hide this from her.

Now that the little tail has been taken away by the Knights, let's take this opportunity to get to know this mysterious man in front of us.
