Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

The Great Great Sword Frost Dew is one of the twenty-one Great Great Swords. Its scabbard is made of birch wood and is entirely white, while the handle is wrapped with light blue cotton thread.

The blade is 1.2 to 1.3 meters long, with a heavy-duty small-flower blade. The edge is as thin as a cicada's wing, and the blade does not frost over or produce dew in summer, hence the name "Frost and Dew".

"Great stuff! This sword is destined for me! One is Heavenly Dry, the other is Frost Dew, combining dry and wet techniques, I can now practice dual-wielding."

Since he couldn't pack up everything in the treasure vault to take with him, Wood naturally started to move only the useful and easily portable items.

Gold and peso are the worst things here; they're heavy and worthless.

A single Devil Fruit can sell for hundreds of millions, and it's only the size of a melon—you can just take it home.

A pearl the size of a fist, a good thing, I'll just put it in my pocket and take it with me.

Seastone pistol. Although it's not very useful to me, the craftsmanship of seastone is extremely difficult, so it should fetch a good price. I'll take it with me.

……

After looting the place, Wood finally left satisfied.

Although he had replaced all his original burdens with a large number of priceless items, the value of these items still accounted for less than one-tenth of the total value of the treasure trove.

As I said before, it's a real shame that there's no system space.

However, Wood has made a fortune this time, and has even completely escaped poverty. As long as he puts these items on the black market, he can easily get hundreds of millions of Berries.

When we left the Chalmarc mansion, the Holy Land of Mary Geoise was still ablaze, showing that the riot of the fishmen and slaves had not yet been suppressed.

As the sky gradually brightened, Wood knew that he didn't have much time left, so after determining a direction, he quickly started to travel again using a series of "shaves".

Wood knew exactly where Hancock and the others were being held, having made a point of observing the surroundings and leaving markings during the previous slave transfer.

Wood's only worry now is whether Hancock and the others will take advantage of the chaos and run away first.

It's important to know that the slave revolt in Mary Geoise occurred three years earlier than originally planned.

Hancock and her friends don't have much fighting power right now, and they're not even Devil Fruit users. In this chaotic situation, it's hard to guarantee that nothing unexpected will happen.

Fortunately, when Wood found the dungeon where Hancock and the others were, it seemed that the place had not yet experienced the spread of war.

Before the thick iron gate, there wasn't even a decent guard, probably because of the lack of manpower on the island. Wood came to the iron gate and violently kicked the entire iron gate away.

Upon hearing the commotion at the door, the slaves imprisoned in the dungeon clearly showed expressions of surprise and uncertainty.

The commotion on the island was so great that even those in the dungeon had noticed it long ago.

What they didn't know was what was actually happening outside.

Compared to the slaves imprisoned in the Celestial Dragons' private residences, the slaves imprisoned here are actually quite fortunate.

Because the slaves here had just been sent to Mary Geoise, they had not yet been subjected to the cruelty of the Celestial Dragons, and some had not even been branded with "Celestial Dragon's Hoof".

The three Hancock sisters have been thrown into this dungeon for two days, where they have been whipped every day in order to completely destroy their courage to resist.

They were about to be branded with the "Heavenly Dragon's Hoof," but just as the red-hot branding iron was about to touch their backs, a huge commotion suddenly came from Mary Geoise.

The guards who were originally watching over them all left hastily after whispering among themselves.

Just as everyone in the dungeon began to wonder what was happening outside, the dungeon's iron door was kicked open, and a figure with a sword at his waist slowly entered the dungeon.

"Don't panic, everyone. Don't shout. I am not one of the Celestial Dragons, but a righteous person who has come to help you."

The entire Holy Land of Mary Geoise is now in chaos. After leaving here, try to escape to areas of chaos.

As Wood finished speaking, in order to prove that what he said was true, he directly drew his Heavenly Dry Blade and, in a dazzling flash of light, cleaved open the bars of an iron cage.

Upon seeing the iron cage breached, everyone in the dungeon naturally became instantly excited.

No one would willingly become a slave, let alone a Celestial Dragon's slave. When they saw that Wood had truly come to rescue them, everyone present naturally cheered.

This is also because these people had just been transported to Mary Geoise and had not completely lost hope for the future. Some slaves, after being tortured by the Celestial Dragons for a period of time, or even after being rescued by Tiger, simply chose to end their own lives.

"I have some keys here. Try to unlock your own hands and feet first. This will increase your chances of survival."

Wood could cut through iron bars, but he couldn't break through seastone chains.

However, the number of slaves imprisoned here is far less than those brought by Wood and Gion.

Currently, the only keys he has are those belonging to Saint Chadlis and Saint Charmaco. As for the other slaves purchased by the Celestial Dragons, Wood has no way to obtain them and can only hope that Gion can bring back more keys.

Chapter 64 Hancock, the Girl in Love

Some of those released by Wood left after trying to unlock the chains with the key.

However, many people, after being released from the iron prison, did not rush to leave, but stayed by Wood's side.

Those who choose to leave first are worried that the chaos outside cannot last long, so they want to buy more time to escape.

Those who chose to stay are easy to understand; they believed they lacked the ability to escape, and rather than anxiously flee alone, they preferred to rely on the powerful Wood.

Wood's willingness to risk his life to save them undoubtedly proves that he is a good person, and his ability to act with impunity in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise also demonstrates his absolute strength.

Therefore, those who left alone were mostly young, strong men and people of exceptionally gifted races.

Those who chose to stay were mostly beautiful women and children who were not very capable in combat.

When Wood arrived at the cell of the three Hancock sisters and, in the same manner, cut open the cage, Hancock immediately recognized the so-called fishman in front of her as the same guy she had previously considered a shameless scoundrel.

"Brother Wu...De"

Wood had been in the most contact with the Hancock sisters before, and his disguise wasn't perfect, so when Wood came to the three sisters, they immediately recognized him.

Just as Mary recognized Wood and was about to call out his name with a happy expression, Hancock, who was quick-witted and agile, covered her mouth.

Hancock, who was already twelve years old, was no child. She understood that Wood was disguising himself as a fish-man in order to conceal his true identity.

Although the other slaves who were brought with them did not know who Wood was, calling out Wood's name here would undoubtedly leave some potential problems for him.

"Just as promised, I've come to save you, Mary and Sonia."

The not-so-handsome merman face twisted into an ugly smile, but the two little girls in front of him didn't seem to mind at all and hugged Wood's neck tightly.

To Mary and Sonia, Wood was like an angel and a prince.

During these two days, they not only went hungry but were also whipped. The only thing that kept them from collapsing was Wood's promise.

Even these past two nights, when Mary and Sonia were about to go to sleep, they would often ask their sister when Wood would come to rescue them.

When her two younger sisters asked her questions, Hancock wanted to tell them that the man was just lying to them, and that no one would dare to offend the world's nobles for the sake of a few children.

However, Hancock also knew that saying that would undoubtedly destroy the last glimmer of hope in her two younger sisters' hearts.

And even Hancock, deep down, still held onto a last glimmer of hope, wishing that Wood would appear before them like a hero.

After patting Mary and Sonia on the head to comfort them, Wood untied their chains.

When it was Hancock's turn, Wood looked at her awkward expression and couldn't help but tease her, "How about it? Do you still think I'm a despicable liar?"

I have always kept my promise to let you return to your island and to the children.

The hope in my heart became a reality. When I was in my most desperate moment, the other person really appeared in front of me like a hero.

Without a doubt, the girl was deeply moved when Wood actually appeared before Hancock.

Upon hearing Wood's words, the girl's cheeks flushed red, and then, as if unwilling to admit defeat, she turned her head away and said, "Shut up! I didn't ask you to come and save me."

"And you promised Mary and Sonia, but you didn't promise to come and rescue me."

The girl Hancock's words made Wood pause in his actions as he was unchaining her. Just as he was inwardly lamenting how difficult it was to win over the Empress, he heard Mary suddenly say, "My sister is shy..."

“Shut up, Mary. If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll leave you here.”

However, Mary was not afraid of Hancock's threat this time. Instead, she hugged Wood's neck and said, "Sister, don't worry about me, Wood... Big brother will take Mary home."

Upon seeing the treacherous Mary, Hancock was about to teach the little girl a lesson when Wood stopped her, saying that they needed to save the others as quickly as possible and then leave the place as soon as possible.

As Wood put Mary down from his arms, he looked at Hancock's red ears and felt much more at ease. He figured he had definitely gotten some goodwill over her.

"Hancock, to make up for not agreeing to save you, I'll give you another gift."

Upon hearing what Wood said, Hancock instinctively wanted to stubbornly say that she didn't need it, but when the words reached her lips, she found herself unable to speak.

Because Hancock discovers that deep down, she also seems to be quite looking forward to the gift Wood will give her.

She's so good to her two younger sisters, but only thinks of mocking me. Now she's trying to make up for it by giving me a gift. Although I really like it, I'll reluctantly accept it since she's so sensible.

Wood didn't know how complex Hancock's inner thoughts were at that moment; he simply believed that this power originally belonged to Hancock.

It was because of this power that Hancock was able to become the peerless pirate empress she would later become.

"Is this some kind of Devil Fruit? Are you trying to make me unable to swim?"

As Wood pulled out a pink fruit with strange patterns, Hancock was not unfamiliar with the object in front of her.

Amazon Lily Kingdom is, after all, an island on the Grand Line. Most of the islanders have even mastered the use of Haki, and there is also their own pirate crew, the "Kuja Pirates".

Although Hancock and her friends were young, they had good eyesight. When they saw the strange fruit in front of them, Hancock recognized it as the "Devil Fruit," a treasure of the sea.

Eating a Devil Fruit allows one to become a Devil Fruit user, gaining all sorts of strange and wonderful powers, but as everyone knows, it also makes one unable to swim.

If one could exchange not being able to swim for powerful abilities, many people would naturally be willing. Unfortunately, the key issue is that there are many types of Devil Fruits, and their abilities are diverse. Before being eaten, no one knows what abilities they will gain.

Although there are picture books about Devil Fruits on the high seas, not everyone can get their hands on them.

Furthermore, the Devil Fruits listed above are only those that have been consumed by humans; the appearance and abilities of most Devil Fruits remain a huge mystery.
