Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

However, this time Susanoo violated the rule of "absolute obedience" of biological Teigu. Not only did he not obey Najenda's order to escape on his own, he also refused the life force that Najenda offered him and chose to burn his own life force instead!

And before Najenda could even comprehend what was happening, Susanoo reached out and grabbed her, then threw her with all his might!

Esdeath watched as Najenda was thrown out, and before she could even make a move, she was stopped again by Susanoo. Moreover, she saw something called determination in Susanoo's eyes, an emotion that was completely impossible for an Imperial Arm to possess.

"It seems I was too hasty before. You are not just an empty shell with only power, but a warrior with a soul!"

As a biological Teigu, obeying the master's orders is an almost ironclad rule, but in the end you broke the rules and chose to act according to your own heart?

"In that case, let me see just how determined you really are!"

Esdeath desperately wanted to hunt down Najenda, but now that Susanoo had gone all in and even burned himself, she could not ignore him.

As Najenda was being thrown high into the air, wondering why Susanoo, as an Imperial Arm, would disobey her orders, her falling body was caught by Lubbock, who had been watching her closely, using "Cross Tail".

The members of Night Raid had all tried their best to break through after hearing Najendan's order, but Lubbock was the only one who did not.

He loved Najendan deeply, but he also knew her too well. Lubbock could see through her suicidal thoughts at a glance, so from the very beginning, Lubbock never thought of leaving.

However, things have changed now. Najenda, whom he had been keeping an eye on, seems to have withdrawn from the battle, so Lubbock naturally no longer has the idea of ​​dying together with her.

Just as Lubbock was using Cross Tail to drag Najenda away, a huge explosion suddenly came from behind them.

Along with the explosion came a strong tremor, and a huge mushroom cloud rose into the distance.

In a massive explosion, the original night raid stronghold was razed to the ground, and Esdeath, who was in that location, was directly swept into the eye of the storm.

"What happened over there? They made such a commotion."

Because the explosion was extremely loud and the huge mushroom cloud that rose up could be seen even by Wood and the others who were already very far away, Chelsea behind Wood suddenly spoke up and asked a question.

"One of our comrades just chose to self-destruct his core in order to stop Esdeath..."

When one's strength reaches a certain level, one will have a keen sense of aura. Wood couldn't possibly have failed to sense Esdeath's intense battle with Susanoo.

Just now, Wood could clearly feel that the aura belonging to Susanoo had disappeared, which meant that the huge commotion was caused by the other party at a certain cost.

Upon hearing Wood's words, Chelsea and Mine fell silent. They didn't ask who their fallen comrade was, but they already knew the answer.

After all, normal humans don't have a core or the ability to self-destruct; during the night raid, only one person possessed these qualities.

Susanoo hadn't been with Night Raid for long, and frankly, he hadn't had time to build a deep bond with everyone. But because of this one action of his, his image was already firmly engraved in the hearts of every Night Raid member.

"Being sad now is useless. If we want to avenge him, we must at least break through the encirclement now. Otherwise, it's all just empty talk, and we will also let down his efforts."

Seeing Chelsea and Mine's spirits dampened, Wood gave them a stern shout to cheer them up as soon as possible.

It wasn't that Wood was heartless, but rather that they simply didn't have time to be sad right now.

Compared to the other members, the Wood trio are probably the ones who will have the hardest time breaking through.

The people blocking their way were not members of the "Hunters," but Dr. Fashion's "Fashion Squad" and several undead puppets from Black Eyes' "March of the Dead."

If Wood were in his normal state, he could easily and swiftly dispatch these small fry, but the problem is that he only has his legs to run away, and his hands are completely immobile.

Moreover, even if Wood only had two legs, if he could unleash his speed, these characters in front of him would be left to eat dust in his wake. But the current situation is far worse than he imagined.

Because Wood wasn't alone; he was also with two girls who were physically weak.

Given Chelsea and Mine's physical abilities, it would be a pipe dream for them to break through alone.

The people here are all strong. With their physical abilities, even if they were given a ten-minute head start, they could easily catch up with them.

So in order to break through as quickly as possible, Chelsea and Mine were now riding on Wood's back, and the three of them were in an extremely awkward position.

Wood originally wanted to be on Chelsea's back, but unfortunately his hands were tied behind his back, so he couldn't hold Chelsea's legs. So, in order to avoid falling off Wood's back, Chelsea could only use her two legs, like an octopus, to hook around Wood's waist in an extremely unladylike manner.

As for Mine, because of her petite size, she rode directly on Wood's neck, her thighs pressed against Wood's cheeks, and every now and then she would take out the "Romantic Turret" in her hand and fire at the small fry blocking her way.

With the two girls on his back, Wood's speed was astonishing. Chelsea and Mine also experienced firsthand the feeling of lightning speed, a sensation they could never experience before.

However, because there were too many people blocking their way, Wood would have to stop or dodge as he ran because he was being attacked.

A putrid stench wafted over from the side. Wood, whose Observation Haki had already sensed the danger, leaped to the side and left his previous position.

The next second, a green solution suddenly fell on the spot where they had just been standing, and with a "sizzling" sound, it dissolved the large rock.

"Hey Wood, can you stop making such a big fuss? Or are you deliberately trying to take advantage of me?"

Because Wood's jump was too big, Mine, who was sitting behind his neck, almost fell off, so the boss said with dissatisfaction.

Because she was still holding the Imperial Arms "Romantic Turret," she had to clamp Wood's cheeks with her thighs even harder to keep herself from falling, which is why she said Wood was deliberately taking advantage of her.

"You're putting me in a really difficult position... In that situation just now, if I hadn't jumped away, we'd all be like that rock now."

Besides, in this situation, how could I possibly have the time to take advantage of you? It's your own impure heart that's the problem.”

Chapter 431 The Shattered Night Raid Organization

Hearing Wood's complaint, Mine blushed. To be honest, her current posture was indeed quite awkward.

With her body straddling Wood's neck, and Wood constantly running and jumping, some friction was inevitable...

"Stop talking nonsense. Just don't make too much noise, or I won't be able to aim properly."

The girl, her face flushed, finally managed to come up with a relatively plausible excuse, and the guy who was doing the hard labor reluctantly accepted her reason.

Chelsea, who was also being carried on Wood's back, noticed something was wrong. And with her cunning, she showed no intention of letting Mine off the hook, saying, "I never expected Mine to be this kind of person. To still react in this situation, how truly lewd..."

Upon hearing the words of that cunning and sly woman, Mine instantly exploded like a powder keg, glaring at Chelsea in front of her and saying angrily, "Who is that shameless bitch who clings to a man like an octopus?"

When Chelsea heard Mine call her shameless, she was about to retort when Wood interrupted her.

"You two should stop now. Even if you're going to argue, at least consider the occasion!"

If you keep talking nonsense, I'll just leave you both here and run away!

Seeing the two girls behind him about to start fighting again, Wood couldn't help but feel exhausted. Although he had gotten a lot of benefits this time, it was nothing compared to how tired he felt.

"You dare! X2"

Upon hearing Wood's words, the two girls instantly united again, with one directly lowering her head to bite Wood's ear and the other reaching out to pinch the soft flesh on Wood's waist.

"The Susanoo who was stopping Esdeath is gone, but Esdeath herself is still alive. If you keep dragging your feet, we're really going to die here."

Seemingly realizing the seriousness of the situation and not wanting their companion Susanoo's sacrifice to be in vain, Mine and Chelsea's eyes began to turn serious.

"Chelsie, first use your Imperial Arms to transform into a bird and go into the air to see which direction their formation is weakest. Then we'll choose that direction to break through."

As for those guys with guns, I'll take care of them for you. That dangerous toad that touched the concentrated acid, Mine, you're in charge of dealing with it.

Seeing that Chelsea and Mine had calmed down, Wood began to give them orders.

As the weight on her back suddenly lightened, Chelsea, following Wood's instructions, used the power of her Imperial Arms "Gaia Foundation" to transform into a bird and soar into the air.

At almost the same moment, Dr. Fashion's modified soldiers, as well as the fully mechanical cyborg named Toby, all deployed their ranged weapons, intending to snipe Chelsea, who had transformed into a bird.

This is why Chelsea didn't transform into a bird to escape in the first place, because if she did, she would definitely be targeted by a concentrated attack.

Completely powerless to resist, she had no other option but to be shot down.

Even knowing there was a possibility of being targeted, Chelsea did as Wood asked without hesitation because she trusted her companions and, even more so, Wood!

And as it turned out, Wood did not disappoint her. Just as the modified soldiers of Dr Fashion were about to raise their guns to shoot her, Wood suddenly raised her foot and launched a series of preemptive kicks!

The high-speed kick left afterimages in the air, followed by a series of whooshing sounds as feather-like blue slashes shot from Wood's legs toward the "Fashion Troops".

The slash delivered by the Six Styles: Storm Kick, while not as powerful as Wood's proper longsword strike, was still quite easy to deal with some ordinary weaklings.

The so-called modified soldiers of the Fashion Corps are actually only slightly stronger than ordinary Imperial soldiers. Apart from being equipped with more powerful and advanced weapons and having a cyborg body that is stronger than a human body, they have almost no other special features.

At this moment, their semi-modified mechanical bodies were no different from paper in the face of Wood's slashes. Under multiple slashes, a large number of them fell down.

Even Toby, the "Flying Car" of the Fashion Squad, whose entire body was modified with mechanical parts, had deep wounds slashed into his body by Wood's Tempest Kick.

Besides Dr. Fashion's fashion troops, the dangerous species "Kaiser Frog" that attacked Wood and his group earlier also intended to use concentrated acid to attack Chelsea in the air.

But just as it opened its mouth wide, a pink beam of light shot into its mouth and pierced through its body!

Needless to say, the one who made the move was Mine, who had been preparing for this for a long time. The Dangerous Species puppet with the black eyes was not weak, but it was no match for Mine's attack.

Having eliminated the danger, Chelsea, taking advantage of her high vantage point, quickly found the nearest escape route. Just as she was about to descend, an ice spike suddenly shot towards her from a great distance.

Sensing danger, Chelsea immediately deactivated the power of "Gaia Foundation," intending to use her original body weight to accelerate her freefall and evade the attack.

However, to her surprise, the ice spikes were flying too fast. Just as she returned to her original form, the ice spikes had already shot towards her.

Just as Chelsea realized she might not be able to dodge the attack, a figure suddenly darted out in front of her and spun around, using a spinning kick to shatter the incoming ice spikes.

"I said I would resolve all the potential problems for you, and I will absolutely not go back on my word!"

And as his body fell, the figure reminded him to grab onto his body.

Still in a daze, Chelsea heard what the other person said and, without hesitation, threw herself into his arms and hooked her arms around his neck.

"boom------!"

Wood landed steadily after falling from the height, but the ground beneath his feet cracked into a web of fissures due to the immense impact.

Mine, who was waiting on the ground, watched as Wood first staged a heroic rescue, and now Chelsea was hugging Wood with a happy expression. She said with a jealous look, "Have you two hugged enough?"

I don't know who said breaking through was the top priority, but now they're flirting here. What a lecherous pervert!

Wood felt wronged for being verbally attacked for no reason. He had only gone to save his companions, and not only did he not receive any admiration, but he was also verbally attacked.

And thank goodness, he doesn't have any hands to hold anyone now; it's clearly Chelsea who's clinging to him and won't let go...
