One Piece: Who still has dreams?

"Wait a minute..." "Pfft pfft"

"Ah, me...!" "Pfft!"

……

Redio, wielding two swords, walked through the entire ship's cabin twice, decapitating everyone he saw before leaping lightly into the cabin above the deck, where a figure was steering the ship.

"Who is it?" The helmsman heard the noise behind him and tried to turn around, but strangely found that he couldn't. He touched his head in disbelief, and to his surprise, his head fell off when he touched it...

Ah, I've already been slashed. In his rapidly darkening vision, he saw blood gushing from his severed neck in front of the ship's rudder, and a boy carrying two swords walked over, shoving his body aside with a horizontal slash.

Thump, everything fell silent.

"..."

Redio looked out onto the slave ship's deck. Under the bright moonlight, only one person in military uniform and overcoat sat casually on the spacious deck, enjoying the sea breeze and talking to a small Den Den Mushi on his wrist, occasionally bursting into laughter.

I thought I'd get to fight a few stupid Celestial Dragons dressed in "US military spacesuits."

Reddio thought with a hint of regret, picked up his twin swords, left the cabin, and silently slipped onto the deck like a shadow...

"Haha, you find it funny too, don't you? What, not funny? Your taste is terrible! So I'm not giving you this rare item I bought this time?"

Shepard—Somaz slapped his thigh and laughed unrestrainedly, “Me? I wouldn’t even look at her. A little girl this strong at such a young age? I’m not interested! Little girls should be delicate and fragile, the best kind is the kind that can be crushed with a pinch. You don’t understand that fragile, broken feeling, do you? Hahaha… Hmm? Hey, hey? Damn, what’s up?”

He was puzzled when he looked down and saw that his entire left arm, with the little Den Den Mushi attached to his wrist, had fallen to the floor. His left chest had also been ripped open at some point.

"Who?"

Somaz shouted angrily. He turned his head and saw a strange young man with two swords, which were still dripping blood!

Redio stared at the member of the God Knights. No wonder the Empress was so afraid of the Celestial Dragons; she had already witnessed the high combat power of these Celestial Dragons, including the God Knights with immortal bodies, who were Im's Deep Sea Contractors.

"Are you looking for death?!"

Somaz stood up cursingly. The gash in his chest had healed, and his left arm was regenerating rapidly. He drew the rapier with thorny hilt from his waist with his right hand, strode toward Redio, and swung the sword.

Redio raised his twin swords to parry, but the moment the blades clashed, he knew something was wrong.

Bang!!!!!

Redio felt as if his twin swords had collided head-on with a speeding train. The swords broke on the spot, and an unimaginable, immense force sent him flying!

boom!

Blood mist and shards of iron still lingered where he stood, but he had already smashed through the railing and flew off the deck like a meteor, hurtling backward across the black sea. The slave ship shrank in sight at a visible speed.

After flying for a full 5 kilometers across the sea, Reddio felt he was about to fall into the sea, so he opened the system interface.

You have chosen to return.

……

What kind of superhuman strength is this?

The scenery before Redio's eyes blurred, and the instant he returned to the tranquil Corpo Mountain in the East China Sea, he tumbled backward with inertia, lying on the ground and couldn't help but laugh.

Previously, it was Nami and the others who were shocked by their own brute strength.

But compared to the terrifying strength of Somaz's strike, I feel like... I've become Nami!

Is this incredible brute force a result of Im's contract?

"Are you injured?" Ace's face came into Redio's view, interrupting his thoughts.

Redio then realized that his arms were in excruciating pain as if the muscles were being torn apart, and his body was in similar pain. He opened his mouth to speak, but blood gushed from his throat first.

"It's okay, I'm actually fine..." Redio slowly sat up, his arms trembling uncontrollably, and blood kept gushing out as he tried to wipe his mouth.

Clang! The numb hand could no longer grip the knife, and the severed Imperial Chef and the still-intact Demon Slayer collided and fell to the side.

[Corpo Hill, Day Two]

"Ace, he's badly injured! You hit him too hard!"

"I didn't hit him! He's about as strong as me. If I could have done that to him, I probably would have been killed by him! Besides, he came here looking for trouble. So what if I hit him!"

"No, he's my partner! He's a good person!"

"He hasn't agreed to your request! Don't just talk the talk!"

"Didn't he ask you to call him for help yesterday? Hehe, Ace, why don't you just ask him to be your partner? It'll be so much fun!"

"..."

"Wow, what a cool sword! Ace, did he bring a sword with him yesterday?"

"That guy's always showing up and disappearing, how would I know? I don't think he brought it!"

"Ah, this knife is broken. This knife is so strange! It's like iron, yet it's also like stone... Ah... I'm so weak... It's made of that incredible... sea dragon stone..."

"It's Seastone. Luffy, give it to me."

In his sleep, Redio vaguely heard voices talking back and forth.

He opened his eyes with displeasure, and subconsciously sat up. A tearing pain immediately shot through his body and arms, and the metallic smell of blood filled his nose and mouth.

really……

Zoro's monster-like body, no matter how much self-torture he endures in the gravity chamber, can recover to about 70-80% after a good meal, some good wine, and a good night's sleep.

Reddio, however, is different. Injuries from past overtraining tend to linger for several days longer.

This time, Somaz's knife slash caused internal injuries, and the shock felt as if all the muscles in his body had cracked. Sure enough, a night's sleep was not enough to fully recover.

...Could it be because the Supreme Great Bandage wasn't wrapped around it?

"Is this yours?" Ace tossed the Seastone Greatsword, Fumo, to Redio.

Redio beckoned to Luffy again, who handed him the broken Great Sword, Okitori.

Once the Imperial Chef was acquired, he vanished into thin air and was thrown into the system's three-in-one module.

In the blink of an eye, a brand new, intact royal chef's utensil was back in Redio's hands.

[Remaining Essence: 260009]

It cost Redio over three thousand essences to repair this great sword!

Empress, if this mission doesn't yield some good stuff, you'll be letting me down.

Ace: "..." His mouth dropped open, completely stunned.

"Amazing!!" Luffy's eyes lit up. "You know ninjutsu?!" He clapped his hands and feet excitedly. "One more time! One more time!!!"

Redio also threw the Demon Slayer into the three-in-one. This knife was made of Seastone, which was harder, so it wasn't damaged much, but it still took some essence to clean the bloodstains left on the blade.

[Remaining Essence: 260007]

[Remaining Essence: 260000]

Redio simply took out the single-digit change and casually prepared a feast that was even more abundant, more nutritious, and more conducive to recovery than the all-meat banquet he had last night.

Watching another knife disappear and reappear out of thin air, watching mountains of steaming food spring up wherever Redio's finger pointed...

Ace was bewildered.

Luffy has already started eating.

"Don't just stand there, I won't charge you for your meal."

Redio patted the dazed Ace, then sat down on the ground and wolfed down his food.

"It's so delicious! Waaaaah... Ahhhhh..."

Luffy was like a wolf among sheep, his rubber mouth stuffed full of food, so big it was about the size of four or five of his heads. It was so delicious that tears streamed down his face uncontrollably. He was so immersed in the blissful feeling of the delicious food that it made his head spin, and his hands never stopped moving.

Ace was also devouring plate after plate, but his eyes kept drifting to Redio. Finally, he couldn't help but ask, "You're also a Devil Fruit user, right? You seem to know a lot about these things. Luffy's Devil Fruit is too. What's your own ability?"

"..."

Redio slurped up a steamed fish of indistinguishable species like an ice pop, leaving only the spine. The tender and delicious fish meat was completely clean, without a single bone.

In response to Ace's question, he thought for a moment and then drew a picture on the ground with the fish spine.

Ace grabbed a large clump of shrimp and cream pasta and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing heartily while looking at what he was drawing on the ground.

The top line lists three main categories: "Natural," "Paranoia," and "Zoan." Under each of the Paramecia and Zoan categories, three sub-categories branch off...

Redio explained, "Devil Fruits are generally divided into three types: Logia, Paramecia, and Zoan. There's not much to say about Logia types; they are elements found in the natural environment, such as fire, lava, and light. The person who eats this type of Devil Fruit can transform their physical body into the corresponding element, becoming immune to any physical attack."

"The superhuman category can be simply divided into three subcategories: 'super physique,' 'super matter,' and 'superpowers.'"

"Superhuman physical abilities, such as the Chop-Chop Fruit, allow the body to split at will, thus becoming immune to slashing attacks; the Glitter Fruit allows the body to turn into diamonds, making it unparalleled in hardness."

"Among the super-matter categories, there is the String-String Fruit, which can create threads to control puppets; and the Wax-Wax Fruit, which can create candle matter."

"Superpowers include the Imitation Fruit, which allows one to transform into anyone else, and the Time-Time Fruit, which sends people to the future..."
