Starting with two Kamui, they raised the flag of rebellion in One Piece.

Regardless of the reason why Zoro did not appear.

He might have gotten lost, or perhaps he traveled to the One Piece world while unconscious, causing some kind of butterfly effect without his knowledge.

But since it didn't happen, let's just leave it at that.

Without a sound, the black in Li Mingyuan's pupils began to shrink and fade, revealing a scarlet base color that was not there before. Then, in that newly formed blood red, jet-black tomoe appeared from the edges as if they had a life of their own, rotating around the pupil and finally anchoring firmly on the eye.

When Li Mingyuan raised his head again.

His eyes have been replaced by a pair of scarlet Sharingan with three tomoe.

"I apologize, bandits. Although I don't have much sympathy for the native inhabitants of the One Piece world, and I have no grudge against you, I was the one who received your kindness first."

"Perfect timing. I just redeemed this ability, and I was looking for a place to test it out."

So, I guess I'll just have to make do with you guys for now.

Looking at the situation in the room, Li Mingyuan realized that the situation was urgent and there was no time to continue to consider.

A gust of wind blew through the wide-open window.

The room, which had been somewhat noisy just moments before, was now completely empty.

At that moment, Li Mingyuan suddenly leaped towards the ranch, his entire body moving like a phantom, flashing across the grass at an astonishing speed after leaping out of the window.

The ranch, which was not very big to begin with, was almost as small as a shrinking space under Li Mingyuan's ninja instantaneous movement technique, which was considered his specialty.

In just a few blinks of an eye, he arrived at the center of the dispute!

Immediately afterwards, as the bandits kicked and stomped on the fallen Joseph and Johnny, the leader of the bandits, Dick, even stomped on Johnny's head.

boom! !

Like a cannonball, a foot caught the bandit's kick from below.

Not moving.

Li Mingyuan stood next to the bandits, glancing slightly at the two bandit brothers.

Compared to when I was just observing, now that I'm looking at it up close, its massive and imposing figure seems even more intimidating.

"Big guy, why bother just grabbing the stuff and running away?"

"These two guys don't pose much of a threat to you, do they?"

Looking the bandits up and down, Li Mingyuan chuckled and said, "How about you spare them for my sake?"

"Varied!?"

The bandit Dick stared wide-eyed in shock at the figure that had suddenly appeared before him.

Not just the bandit Dick.

Everyone present, including the villagers and other members of the bandit gang, stared in disbelief at the scene before them, speechless with astonishment.

Just now, the two bounty hunters who were thought to be saviors were beaten to a pulp like dead dogs in an instant.

Faced with these two wounded men who were unable to move, the bandit Dick issued a declaration of execution: those who dared to resist would suffer the same fate as these two bounty hunters.

I can't believe that even after all this, someone would still dare to stand up?

And where did this person come from?

He actually caught an attack from Dick, the bandit with a bounty of 1000 million Berries?!

"You actually blocked my attack...? Who are you?!"

Unlike the calm and composed Li Mingyuan, the bandit Dick tensed up the moment he saw the person who had appeared out of nowhere.

He abruptly took a few steps back and picked up his oversized hand cannon again.

"Could it be that they're accomplices of these two bounty hunters?!"

"Your skills are quite good... but you want me to release them?"

The bandit Dick said with a gloomy expression, "To be honest, killing these two guys wouldn't have made us a penny. They were after my head, so this is just their fate."

"Oh? There's no room for negotiation?"

"That's for sure—"

The bandit Dick and Li Mingyuan locked eyes and grinned.

"That's impossible! You idiot!"

Before the bandit Dick could finish speaking, a roar accompanied by a gust of wind came from behind Li Mingyuan's head.

It turned out to be the bandit brother who had been standing to the side, who suddenly swung his broadsword at Li Mingyuan from behind without warning!

Amid the gasps of the surrounding villagers, the bandit's monstrous broadsword was now just inches away from Li Mingyuan's neck. If the blow had landed, his head would have been severed from his body on the spot.

Even Li Mingyuan himself knew this.

He's as fragile as ordinary people; even if chakra grants him slightly greater physical strength, his record against blades with his head might not be very good.

however.

"You think you can escape my eyes with something like this?"

A soft voice rang out.

Li Mingyuan remained calm as he stared at the bandit Dick, even managing to kick Joseph and Johnny, who were lying dead nearby, aside.

Then, just as the broadsword was about to strike his neck...

Li Mingyuan took a small step to the right.

chap!

The blade of the broadsword grazed past Li Mingyuan's neck in an instant, then slashed violently at the ground beside him.

The younger bandit stumbled and nearly fell to the ground.

In contrast, Li Mingyuan...

There wasn't even a scratch on his body!

"impossible!"

The younger bandit turned to look at Li Mingyuan, his eyes widening in disbelief. "He dodged my blade without even turning his head!?"

"I regret that negotiations broke down."

Li Mingyuan shook his head slightly, "I originally thought they would be some slightly smarter guys."

"...You can't even see the difference in strength?"

His scarlet, three-tomoe-like eyes flickered slightly.

Li Mingyuan observed the bandits present, not only noticing the expressions of astonishment and panic on their faces, but also the damaged fence of the ranch and the warehouse destroyed by artillery fire.

He could see even the slightest movement of the grass in the breeze.

Nothing present could escape his eyes.

Even the actions of the bandit brother just now were the same. He thought his sneak attack was very covert, but in fact, his eyes had already detected the other party's unusual movements before he even made a move.

That's right.

He hasn't used "Divine Power" yet!

As a Mangekyou Sharingan obtained through the system, Li Mingyuan naturally possesses the three-tomoe Sharingan, just like his chakra.

Exchanging for the Rinnegan might not result in the same prerequisite Sharingan and Mangekyou Sharingan as the Sage of Six Paths in the original manga, who was born with the Rinnegan. However, exchanging for the Mangekyou Sharingan will definitely result in the basic Sharingan.

This is the evolutionary system of the Sharingan.

He was already invincible against these weaklings simply by using his normal three-tomoe Sharingan!

"Then let's start with you."

Li Mingyuan's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly reached out to his brother, the bandit who was still in shock.

At this moment, Li Mingyuan actively used his chakra.

Without even using hand seals, he simply directs his chakra in an irregular direction and compresses it into a sphere to unleash the attack.

Its name is Rasengan!

Logically speaking, he should be able to use ninjutsu as long as he still has chakra in his body...

As expected, although Li Mingyuan had activated his Sharingan and was controlling his chakra as before, he could clearly see that nothing had happened to his hands.

"As expected, it doesn't work."

Li Mingyuan thought to himself.

Although he had already guessed that he might not be able to use ninjutsu, which is why he didn't use any of the ninjutsu that required hand seals, he didn't expect that he couldn't even use the Rasengan.

Perhaps because he had expected it, he was not disappointed. After all, logically speaking, the system would not allow him to exploit such a large loophole, otherwise the reward redemption system would be meaningless.

but……

Although he couldn't use escape techniques, that didn't mean he was helpless against these bandits.

"drink!"

Li Mingyuan let out a low shout. Not only did he not retract his outstretched hand, but he also increased the force, reaching towards the bandit brother's face with even greater speed and ferocity.

Until the very moment you grab the other person's head.

boom!!

He slammed his head against the ground, creating a small crater.

It was just a human-powered head that crashed into the ground, yet it produced a sound like a meteorite exploding.

Under this incredibly swift attack, the bandit brother's eyes rolled back on the spot, and he collapsed to the ground, bleeding from all seven orifices.

Sold out instantly!

He combined the Sharingan's terrifying insight with his taijutsu skills enhanced by his own chakra.

It's only natural that he could easily defeat a nobody with a mere 500 million Berries.

Li Mingyuan let out a slight breath, looking at the results in front of him, feeling very satisfied.

"Brother, little brother!!"

Seeing his younger brother lose consciousness, the bandit Dick, who was still in shock, finally came to his senses.

His eyes were bloodshot, and he roared.

"Damn it! How dare they look down on me...!"

He suddenly shouldered the giant hand cannon, and in an almost instinctive sense of fear, he disregarded his younger brother standing right next to him, aimed at Li Mingyuan, and pulled the trigger.

"Go to hell!"

With a burst of flame, the shell exploded from the muzzle of the hand cannon.

The radiating heatwave and the bursting shockwave were slowly approaching the black cannonball.

too slow.

Li Mingyuan looked back at this scene, and only these thoughts filled his mind.

When the Sharingan with its three tomoe is fully focused, everything in the world seems to slow down, eventually becoming a series of frame-by-frame clips.

He could easily dodge such an attack even if he stood still until the shell hit him.

This is the power of the Sharingan.

"If I had such a bloodline limit in my previous life, even if I never awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan before I died, I probably wouldn't have had to undergo those physical modifications."

For a moment, Li Mingyuan couldn't help but feel a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, mixed feelings).

However, at that time, although he was immersed in the power of the Sharingan, he did not completely lose his mind.

Out of the corner of Li Mingyuan's eye, he could still see the situation around him.

The next second, facing the incoming shell, he suddenly pushed down with both legs.

The world is accelerating again.

The shells, which had been hurtling out, regained their original speed and blasted towards Li Mingyuan. Under the wide-eyed gazes of the villagers and the excited stares of the bandits, the exploding flames and black smoke engulfed him and the figures of several people around him.

boom--!

The powerful explosion and impact sent shockwaves through the area.

"Hahahaha, so I told you so! You idiot!"

"Having set your sights on my head, this is your end—your fate is sealed!"

Despite being covered in cold sweat, the bandit Dick finally relaxed as he watched the cannonball hit the enemy.

He burst into laughter with the peculiar laugh characteristic of One Piece.

On the edge of the pasture, some villagers couldn't bear to watch any longer and turned their heads away, while others stared blankly at the scene and knelt down in despair.

Because of Li Mingyuan's position, not only his bandit brother and he himself were present.

Including the two bounty hunters who just stood up for them, Joseph and Johnny, they were all within the range of the shells.

In other words, with this one shot, all those who resisted the bandit Dick vanished into thin air.

Is this the price of daring to resist?

But at that moment, the little boy who had been staring intently at the black smoke from the explosion and was the first to stand up against the bandits suddenly stretched out his hand excitedly and pointed desperately ahead.

"Look everyone! That's...!"

An unbelievable scene unfolded.

When the villagers and bandits heard the boy's voice and instinctively looked back at the explosion site, they were all shocked to see a figure faintly visible in the black smoke.

As the firelight and black fog gradually dissipated with the wind.

Gradually, the figure became clearer and clearer until it was clearly visible.

"What!?"

"No, impossible!!"

The man walked out of the firelight step by step, with Joseph and Johnny, who were unconscious, in his hands on either side of him.

The only one swallowed up by the explosion was the bandit brother himself.

Tick.

Sweat dripped from the forehead of the bandit Dick.

He stared blankly at the scene before him, unable to believe what he was seeing.

"The game should end now."

He casually tossed Joseph and Johnny onto the grass nearby.

Li Mingyuan looked at the bandit Dick and said calmly, "Not bad for passing the time. Was his name bandit Dick again?"

"I just tried one ability, and there's one more branch ability left, which I also need to test."

Li Mingyuan bent down and grabbed a piece of rope from the edge of the pasture.

He tugged at the rope slightly to check its strength, then held one end in each hand and lowered it.

"By the way, let's try it on you too."

Li Mingyuan smiled slightly.

Before the bandits could react, Li Mingyuan suddenly charged forward again.

His figure seemed to transform into a black shadow, rapidly approaching the bandits.

The pupils suddenly contracted.

Upon witnessing this scene, the bandit Dick felt a chill run down his spine and straight to the top of his head.

He didn't have time to think too much. He instinctively glanced at the heavy hand cannon on his shoulder, but there was no time to ignite the fuse again.

He gritted his teeth and simply threw the heavy hand cannon to his side.

He then quickly bent down and picked up the large knife that his younger brother had dropped.

"Since you were able to dodge just now, that at least proves that this method was effective!"

The bandit Dick, his eyes bloodshot and panting heavily, brandished his broadsword. "No matter what tricks you used, I'll chop your head off!!"
