Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

If such a person really existed, it would only arouse suspicion from others.

So, out of necessity, Tatsumi could only hold a beer mug bigger than his head, learning from Leone how to extract information while also learning how to offer toasts.

And then very quickly, he became like this...

“Tazmi, how about we make our move tonight? I’ll deal with Oka, and you can take care of that oil merchant Jamal.”

According to the intelligence they obtained, both the demon Oka and the oil merchant Jamal will appear tonight, but they will appear in two different locations in the capital, and they will be quite far apart.

In other words, Leone and Tatsumi cannot help each other or work together when carrying out missions.

Whether it's Oka or oil tycoon Jamal who dies, it will definitely cause a stir, making it difficult to eliminate the other person.

In other words, the best way to eliminate someone before things escalate is for Leone and Tatsumi to split up and act separately.

The oil dealers usually appear in the southern part of the capital at night because this fat man often goes to the red-light district there to relax.

As for Oni no Ouka, he is located in the northern part of the Imperial Capital. As the captain of the Imperial Capital Garrison, he has a rather perverse hobby: torturing all kinds of prisoners.

"Sister Leone, I'll get over it quickly. Please give me this chance to prove myself!"

Despite his confident promises to Najenda, Tatsumi has no intention of changing his mind. He wants to defeat Eucharista and prove himself to his comrades!

Chapter 406 Don't try to show off in front of the protagonist!

The capital city at night is far less bustling than during the day, and many evil spirits that cannot be seen during the day also come out to move around at this time.

There was once a saying in Beijing: "Beijing is only truly Beijing at night, because without the sunlight, the darkness hidden under the night sky is truly revealed at this time."

Ordinary civilians in the capital city would not choose to go out at night, because they, who had lived there for a long time, knew all too well how dangerous the capital city was at night.

The capital city at night is no exaggeration to call it a paradise for criminals.

The Imperial Capital Police Force usually operates at night, and the so-called "Oni Oka" was refreshed after torturing prisoners all day and was ready to patrol the streets again to see if he could find a few new toys.

Oka appears as a middle-aged man with his hair combed back and a terrifying cross-shaped scar on his left eye. It is probably because of his horrific appearance and violent behavior that he has earned the name of a demon.

Based on the information obtained in the tavern, Tatsumi had been lying in ambush in an alleyway that Oka would inevitably pass through. When Oka walked through the alley, Tatsumi, who had been waiting for a long time, rushed out of the shadows with his sword and launched a sneak attack on Oka.

However, on a house further away, Wood and Akame, who were watching Tatsumi make his move and rush towards Ogre, both shook their heads in unison.

"As expected, I still lack some experience. It's good that I know to choose a narrow and quiet place like an alley to start my business."

However, his ability to conceal his aura was too poor; his killing intent was exposed so early that it was extremely difficult for others to ignore him.

Furthermore, Tatsumi is too straightforward. If he chose assassination, he should have attacked from behind, but instead, he attacked from the front.

Just as Wood commented, Tatsumi's assassination attempt was naturally unsuccessful.

Judging from Tatsumi's skills, if it were an ordinary person, the opponent would probably be dead on the spot.

But Ouka is, after all, the captain of the Teigu Guard. While his strength may not be exceptionally high, he is at least someone with considerable combat experience.

Tatsumi's iron sword clashed with Oka's greatsword in mid-air, the friction between the blades causing sparks to fly out in the darkness.

"Boy, who sent you to assassinate me? If you tell me, I might give you a quicker death."

Oka naturally knew that his actions had offended many people in the capital. Simply killing the assassin was not enough; he also needed to find out who had ordered Tatsumi, then eliminate that person to prevent being assassinated in the future.

"clang------!"

A crisp metallic clang echoed in the dimly lit alley. Tatsumi's attack, though long prepared, was ultimately no match for Eugar and he was sent flying.

The reason is simple: in terms of physique and strength, Tatsumi has no advantage over the physically stronger Eugar.

With his arms gripping the broadsword, Ouka swung his arms forcefully, sweeping Tatsumi away along with his sword.

When Akame saw that Tatsumi was no match for Oka, she grabbed Murasame and was about to rush up to help, but Wood stopped her.

Akame, who had been stopped, looked at Wood beside her with a puzzled expression, and the latter answered as if to explain: "He has not lost yet. Excessive help cannot help people grow, especially after he chose to walk this path."

Until he completely stops breathing, we should just watch from the sidelines. There are always some people in this world who can become stronger when faced with adversity and constantly surpass themselves!

Clearly, the person Wood was referring to was the so-called protagonist in shonen anime, and in his view, Tatsumi was the chosen one of this world!

When Wood first arrived in this world, he always thought that Lubbock, that green-haired guy, was the "Child of the World." But after observing him, he realized that Lubbock was just a guy whose brain was full of Najenda.

In other words, the male protagonist of a shonen anime set in this world is usually a "righteous ally" with an overflowing sense of justice. However, a guy whose mind is only filled with mature women obviously does not have such a righteous attribute, so he is definitely not the male protagonist.

It wasn't until Tatsumi appeared and, through a plot twist, they encountered each other that Wood immediately realized this boy from the countryside was undoubtedly the chosen one of this world.

Possessing a kind and resilient character, a strong sense of justice, a profound understanding gained from the death of a close friend, and a certain personal charm that evokes goodwill, this is undoubtedly the protagonist's stats.

Upon hearing Wood's words, Akame recalled the brutal trials she had undergone in the assassination squad and immediately agreed with Wood's words. As for Tatsumi, who was being thoroughly beaten, she temporarily chose to stand by and watch.

However, to Akame's disbelief, although Tatsumi in the alley was always suppressed, after observing for a long time, it was discovered that Tatsumi was actually growing at a speed visible to the naked eye!

While it's true that real life-or-death battles are the fastest way for a person to grow, and Akame wholeheartedly agrees with this, the speed at which Tatsumi is growing in front of them is simply too fast...

At first, Tatsumi was completely overwhelmed by Ouka's attacks, but in this short period of time, Tatsumi gradually mastered Ouka's offensive rhythm and slowly became able to defend himself.

This doesn't mean that Tatsumi's physical abilities improved in a short period of time, but rather that he learned how to use his strengths in combat and began to master combat techniques.

Although it's a shonen anime, there's usually a reason for a character to suddenly become powerful. Without Teigu, Tatsumi couldn't have suddenly become stronger for no reason; that would be too unscientific.

Tatsumi has gradually calmed down compared to the beginning, and he is no longer as foolish as he was at the beginning, choosing to confront Eucharist head-on.

Instead, he began to use the narrow alleyway and his smaller, more agile physique to engage in a fierce battle with Oka.

Oka was physically strong, and his weapon was a broadsword with a wide attack range. Although it was extremely powerful, it was somewhat difficult to use effectively in such a narrow alley.

Tatsumi was different. Although he was not strong, he could use the walls on both sides of the alley to jump back and forth. Every time he failed to strike, he would immediately pull back.

With this disparity in stamina expenditure, the two are completely unequal, since using Euro's heavy weapons requires more stamina.

Moreover, being on the defensive, he had to be constantly on guard against Tatsumi's attacks, which took a huge toll on his mental strength.

"Tatsumi is going to win. I never expected his growth rate to be so amazing."

Seeing the increasing injuries on Oka's body, Akame, who rarely praised others, unusually expressed her appreciation for Tatsumi's efforts.

"It's too early to talk about these things now. Wild beasts are always most dangerous when they are on the verge of death!"

If we let our guard down now, it's not impossible that we'll suffer a setback... See? What did I tell you? That idiot Tatsumi got too cocky and has fallen into their trap again."

Before Wood could finish speaking, the situation in the alley suddenly changed drastically. Tatsumi, who had been firmly in the lead and was about to defeat EuroCard, was now in trouble.

Suddenly, his body was swept away by Oka like a cannonball, and his back slammed into the alley wall, creating a huge dent. He also coughed up a mouthful of blood.

The reason for the sudden change in the battle situation was half a minute ago. Due to the terrain making it difficult to maneuver, Oka, who had been suppressed, realized that if things continued like this, he might be killed by the brat in front of him, so he turned around and chose to run away.

Of course, the so-called escape did not mean that Oka intended to run away, but rather that he planned to leave the alley and find an open space to continue fighting Tatsumi.

The place where Tatsumi fought Ouka was deep in an alley. In fact, even if Tatsumi had attacked methodically, he could have killed Ouka before he could escape the alley.

However, a newcomer is still a newcomer and doesn't have much experience. When Tatsumi saw Oka preparing to escape from the alley, he became anxious and immediately gave chase.

With this pursuit, their positions instantly reversed. Previously, Eucharista had to be constantly on guard against Tatsumi, who could attack him at any moment, which is why he fought so cautiously.

But now that Tatsumi is in a hurry to pursue him, Oka knows when he will launch an attack and from which direction.

Having escaped this predicament, Tatsumi, who panicked and lost his composure, was naturally no match for the well-prepared Oka.

Almost the instant Tatsumi's body approached Ogre, Ogre, who was running ahead, suddenly turned around with a sinister smile and swung his greatsword by twisting his body!

Tatsumi, who already lacked an advantage in strength, was even less able to resist Ouka's counterattack. Although he managed to block the attack with his longsword in time, the enormous force still sent him flying dozens of meters away.

Tatsumi, whose back had slammed against the wall, felt as if his body had fallen apart. Not only were several of his ribs broken, causing him to cough up blood, but even the longsword in his hand had cracked from the impact.

Ouka, carrying a greatsword with the tip dragging on the ground and sparks flying from its friction, slowly walked toward Tatsumi, who was slumped on the ground.

"Kid, I'll give you one last chance. Tell me who ordered you to kill me, and I might give you a quicker death."

Otherwise, you'll only know what real hell is when I take you back to prison.

"Then you will reveal everything you know, only after I have used all sorts of torture devices to torment you!"

Oka was genuinely frightened by this assassination attempt. To be honest, if the kid in front of him hadn't been so inexperienced, he might have been done for.

Oka knew he had offended many people, but he had never encountered an assassin of Tatsumi's caliber before.

Although this assassination attempt failed, there's no guarantee there won't be a next one, and the assassins who appear will be even stronger.

Therefore, in order to solve the problem once and for all, Euker attempted to force the employer out of Tatsumi and then eliminate him completely, thus solving the problem at its root.

"Give up. I will never reveal my employer's identity. Besides, I have other accomplices. After Jamal, the oil merchant who colluded with you, dies, you'll be next."

My companion is much stronger than me; I'll wait for you down there.

Tatsumi was not afraid of death, but he hated that he was too weak and had to die here without doing anything.

His last words startled Oka, who was gradually approaching him. Then, Oka grinned and said, "Looks like you're a newbie, oil merchant Jamal."

In other words, the people who hired you to kill me are the same people I framed with the oil tycoon Jamal, right?

There are quite a few of these guys, but they all seem to be low-status commoners. I'll wipe them all out tomorrow!

As Oka spoke, he raised his broadsword with both hands, preparing to deliver the final blow to the wounded Tatsumi.

Wood and Akame, who were on the high-rise building, were about to help when they saw what was happening. But when they heard that Ouka was planning to kill the relatives of those he had framed, the boy suddenly went into overdrive!

Tatsumi was already feeling somewhat unable to move due to the severe injuries he had suffered.

But after hearing what Oka had just said, he realized that because of his mistake, many innocent people in the capital would die because of him tomorrow.

Tatsumi could not tolerate this happening. The faces of his best friend Sayo and Ieyasu flashed before his eyes, and the words Wood had once said to him appeared clearly in his mind again.
