Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

"Hey guys, you guys said you wanted to work with me before? Do you still have that idea now?"

Wood had thought it through. Since he was going to become a pirate spy, he needed to form a pirate crew. However, he didn't even have any crew members, which was really unreasonable.

He had no intention of using these prisoners he brought from Impel Down, nor did he intend to keep them alive.

So they enthusiastically invited a few lazybones from the Navy squad stationed in Impel Down.

"Major Wood... no, Wood, you bastard, you lied to us!"

The captain and others in the Impel Down squad, seeing what Wood was doing, knew perfectly well that they had boarded Wood's pirate ship.

They pitifully thought Wood was a hidden second-generation rich kid, hoping to cling to him and one day rise to prominence.

However, little did they know that not long after they threw away their leader, Wood would betray their underlings and cause them a terrible mess.

"You can't say that. Besides, I didn't lie to you before. I just said I might cause trouble."

But you swore back then that your role as my underlings meant sharing the good times and bearing the bad.

Wood spread his hands, indicating that it wasn't that he intentionally wanted to trick people, but rather that the captain and the others spoke so sincerely that he completely believed them.

Upon hearing what Wood said, the captain and the others were utterly dumbfounded. They had only meant to flatter him, but their flattery had unexpectedly led to this disaster.

And they never imagined that the trouble Wood was talking about would be such a monstrous disaster!

"So, are you planning to come with me? After what happened at Impel Down today, Impel Down will probably completely exclude the Navy from entering from now on."

Although this matter has nothing to do with you, you will still be punished to some extent because of it, right?

Upon hearing Wood's words, the captain's expression turned even more bitter. The matter had escalated to such a degree, and they had even prepared the warship from which the prisoners were being transported; a mere reprimand would not suffice.

More likely, they will be mistaken by the Navy Headquarters for accomplices of Wood and his group. Putting aside whether they can continue in the Navy, they might even be thrown into Impel Down because of this.

Having been stationed in Impel Down for so long, no navy officer knew the horrors of Impel Down better than them. So, after only a moment's hesitation, the navy captain followed Wood onto the warship.

As for the others, seeing that the captain, who was the backbone of the group, had made a decision, they naturally chose to follow suit.

There's no way around it; they've already boarded this pirate ship, so they have no choice but to go down this dark path...

However, once the dozen or so marines from Impel Down boarded Wood's pirate ship, they realized that even if they defected from the navy with Wood, the current situation was far from dire!

The reason is simple: before they were completely out of danger, the prisoners brought out of Impel Down were relatively well-behaved.

However, as the ship moved further and further away from Impel Down, Wood could sense that the prisoners were looking at them with increasing hostility.

"Major Wood... Captain Wood, I have a feeling that we didn't die in Impel Down, but we might die on this ship."

Are you sure you discussed it with these prisoners beforehand, and that they genuinely considered you their leader?

Of the more than 150 prisoners, 20 to 30 died when they escaped from Impel Down, and there are still more than 120 left.

The ship's original navy personnel, including Wood, numbered a total of fifteen. The malice emanating from them was obvious even to a fool.

"Captain, you take the rest of the team into the control room and get to work. I'll handle the cleanup afterwards. I'm worried you'll all be covered in blood."

"Captain, we're no longer in the navy. Just call me Ruth."

"Loser? That's a pretty good name..."

"Captain, it's Ruth, not Lus, and not Loser. Also, are you sure you'll be okay staying here alone?"

Before boarding Wood's pirate ship, Ruth was at least a naval lieutenant. Although the prisoners locked in Impel Down Level 1 were the most ordinary pirates, most of them were pirates with a bounty of ten million Berries.

For pirates of this caliber, defeating one or two wouldn't be difficult for their commanding officers (major and captain), but over a hundred...

Chapter 84 The massacre begins, the real Wood!

"If you want to stay and help, I don't mind. I'm just afraid that if I go crazy and accidentally hurt you."

Upon hearing what Wood said, not only were the navy men, including Ruth, stunned, but even the hundred-plus prisoners in Level 1 burst out laughing after a moment of surprise.

"Brothers, did you hear what this kid just said? He said he's going to take us all down by himself."

I used to think only pirates were arrogant, but this little navy brat is even more cocky than us.

"Isn't this great? I was already too lazy to keep playing One Piece with this kid."

"Kid, since you actually saved us, now jump into the sea with these navy bastards. We're taking over this warship now."

Seeing that Wood and Ruth had realized their intentions, the prisoners in Impel Down stopped pretending.

The warships have now sailed out of the windless zone of Impel Down, meaning they are out of danger.

Now that they're out of danger, Wood has no further use. If Wood doesn't know the secret of their treasure, they wouldn't mind letting him live.

Unfortunately, in order to escape Impel Down, they had given Wood everything they had. In order not to let Wood benefit from the treasure they had hidden, they could only regretfully let Wood die here.

As for promises? Sorry, they're pirates. Don't take promises or credibility too seriously.

After all, no one wants to hand over their treasure to someone else, and everyone here is a bounty hunter with a reputation; who would want to acknowledge a nobody as their boss?

If other pirates of the same era find out, how will they survive on this sea in the future?

"Ding, congratulations on completing the special mission. The reward has been successfully sent. You may use it at your own discretion."

The system notification sounded, announcing the completion of the mission. Wood looked at the hundred-plus Impel Down prisoners staring at him menacingly, a cruel smile spreading across his face.

"It seems we've all thought of the same thing. Since you're unwilling to acknowledge me as your leader, then I'll have no choice but to resort to ruthless measures."

Are you all ready? The sword dance begins!

Perhaps unable to tolerate Wood's arrogant demeanor, several tall and burly prisoners immediately wanted to step forward and teach Wood a lesson, only to find that Wood's figure disappeared in front of them at the same time as he finished speaking!

Almost immediately, these burly men, each at least two meters tall, suddenly felt a sharp pain in their throats, followed by blurred vision, and then collapsed onto the deck.

Before the others on the ship could even react to what had just happened, several men with bounties exceeding ten million were already lying in pools of blood.

"More than a hundred guys with bounties on their heads, and almost all of them are worth more than ten million Berries."

Ten is 100 million Berries, one hundred is 1 billion Berries. If none of them defected to the Navy, even if we only get 10%, it'll still be over 100 million Berries.

Wood, who had killed several prisoners in the blink of an eye, suddenly appeared on the mast, holding two long swords that were still dripping blood in his hands. He looked down at the remaining prisoners on the ship with a regretful expression on his face.

The Level 1 prisoners were initially intimidated by Wood's sudden ability to kill several prisoners instantly, but his words reignited their anger.

The Level 1 prisoners admitted that Wood's displayed strength was indeed somewhat beyond their expectations.

But so what? There are over a hundred of them here, while Wood and his men are only a few. With that many, even if they fight to the death, they can easily overwhelm Wood and his men.

Unfortunately, these people had no idea that Wood faced far more enemies alone in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise than they did now.

Furthermore, the members of the CP organization in Mary Geoise are no weaker than these Level 1 prisoners in Impel Down.

In addition, these Level 1 prisoners are now wearing chains on their feet. Although there are indeed more of them, Wood really doesn't take them seriously.

Wood's leap from the mast signaled the start of the killing spree!

Although it is a large naval warship, the deck is only so big. With more than a hundred people gathered here, the space for movement is quite limited. In addition, Level 1 has just escaped from Impel Down and is completely unarmed.

Level 1 prisoners are the most ordinary pirates. None of them are Devil Fruit users, nor do they possess Armament Haki, let alone the "Iron Body" technique of the Six Powers.

Therefore, facing a "sword master" wielding two famous swords, the final outcome was predictable...

Although Ruth had followed Wood's orders and temporarily left the deck, she still ran up to check the situation after hearing screams coming from above, out of concern.

However, when he saw what was happening on the deck, even Ruth, a seasoned naval lieutenant for over a decade, felt nauseous at the sight that resembled a scene from hell.

The deck of the warship had become a blood-red swamp. The original wooden deck was no longer visible, replaced by mountains of corpses and scattered parts of human heads.

Ruth and her crew had served in Impel Down for several years and witnessed all sorts of hellish conditions there. They believed their mental fortitude was definitely stronger than that of the average Marine.

However, it must be said that when Ruth saw the bloody scene before him, even he, who considered himself to have seen it all, was almost vomiting from fright.

Wood, wielding knives in both hands, walked covered in blood, his long hair disheveled, looking like a demon or a monster.

Meanwhile, those arrogant and domineering prisoners in Impel Down were now crying and screaming as they fled in all directions. It was not a battle at all; it was a one-sided massacre!

In fact, at the beginning, these prisoners in Impel Down were still full of fighting spirit, even though they were unarmed.

After all, the odds of one to one hundred were too great, and they were confident that they could easily crush Wood.

When ten men fell, they didn't think it was a big problem and believed that Wood was at his last gasp. However, when thirty or forty men fell, the prisoners in Impel Down started to panic.

When two-thirds of the Impel Down prisoners present had died by Wood's blade, they were completely terrified.

They discovered that their numerical advantage was completely useless against Wood, because once Wood moved, they couldn't even see him move, let alone hit him.

However, each time Wood made a move, he was like the Grim Reaper, taking the lives of several of them.

Chapter 85 Encounter with the Golden Lion Shiki at Sea

Under immense pressure, and knowing their lives could be taken at any moment, the prisoners in Impel Down naturally began to yield and beg for mercy.

Unfortunately, Wood showed no mercy to their pleas for mercy, coldly wielding his blade to reap one life after another.

Putting aside the fact that these people were originally just trash at sea, Wood had already given them a chance before.

If these guys behaved themselves, Wood might have let them go in order to form a pirate crew.

Unfortunately, if they have ulterior motives, then there's no need to hold back anymore.

A person who betrays once will naturally choose to betray a second time. Even if such a person stays in their pirate crew, they will definitely cause all sorts of trouble in the future.

Under intense pressure from Wood, some men, unable to bear their fear, even jumped directly from the deck into the sea.
